TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Leonard Hamilton is hoping a change in his offensive system will end Florida States NCAA Tournament drought.Hamiltons philosophy has been to run a motion offense that also relies on strong inside play. This season he has ditched that for a more on-tempo system because the Seminoles have an abundance of perimeter players.Hamilton, who is going into his 15th season at Florida State, acknowledges that this has been the biggest changes he has made to a system between seasons in his 29 years as a college coach.This will fit more of who we are, Hamilton said. We are not going to be as much of a stand and shoot team. We are going to be able to play off the move and penetrate. We will be playing more four outside players and one inside. It will make us more unpredictable and harder to defend.Florida State was third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in offense, averaging 78.0 points per game. But it was 13th in defense, allowing 74 points. Both of those set new marks in the Hamilton era.We are going to be playing even faster this year, said Dwayne Bacon, who led the team in scoring (15.8 points per game) and rebounding (5.8) last season. Weve got guys that can run the floor and the big guys can get up and down.Bacon also noted that a huge part of preseason practices has been defense and that during the first week they were spending at least two hours per session on defensive-specific drills.The Seminoles started last season by winning 10 of their first 12 games, but struggled in Atlantic Coast Conference play as they went 8-10. They made it to the second round of the NIT to finish 20-14.---Some other things to know about Florida State this season:IMMEDIATE IMPACT? Jonathan Isaac comes in as one of the highest-ranked recruits in program history. The 6-foot-9 forward has the size and body of a forward but the quickness and shooting skills of a perimeter player. The Seminoles have also added a pair of talented guards in CJ Walker and Trent Forrest.FRONT LINE DEPTH: Michael Ojo and Phil Cofer are back after being beset by injuries last season. Ojo, a 7-foot-1 senior center, missed all of last year due to a knee injury while Cofer, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, played in only 11 games before having ankle surgery.MORE EXPERIENCED BACON: Bacon said that conference play did wear him down but that he has worked during the offseason on conditioning along with his perimeter shooting. The 6-foot-7 sophomore guard struggled last season on shots beyond 15 feet.RATHAN-MAYES BACK ON POINT: Xavier Rathan-Mayes saw his scoring average drop from 14.9 to 11.8, but if Hamiltons system lives up to its expectations of having more players creating opportunities, that should allow the 6-foot-4 junior to have more chances. As a true point guard last season, Rathan-Mayes was focused more on trying to get the ball to teammates instead of taking an open shot.TOUGH START TO CONFERENCE PLAY: Florida State has a favorable non-conference slate, which includes an appearance in the Preseason NIT tournament, but it will be tested early in conference play. Five of the Seminoles first seven ACC games are at home, but there is a stretch from Jan. 10-21 where they face Duke, go to North Carolina and then host Notre Dame and Louisville.---Online:AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Lakers Jerseys 2020 .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Marcus Mariota and Derek Carr look ready for the season to start after a successful preseason dress rehearsal.Mariota led Tennessee to scores on all four drives he played and Carr threw two touchdown passes for Oakland and the Titans beat the Raiders 27-14 on Saturday night.All in all, guys have put in the work, Mariota said. Weve built a pretty solid offseason in the preseason. Now its just putting it all together once the season starts.With the starters getting their most playing time in the third week of the preseason, the offenses looked in midseason form while both first-team defenses struggled mightily.That left Raiders coach Jack Del Rio frustrated, especially about a first-team run defense that couldnt slow down DeMarco Murray or Derrick Henry on the ground.I take it real personal, Del Rio said. I dont know what to tell you. I dont have a good alibi for it. It bothers me. You cant be a great defense doing that.Mariota had the Raiders scrambling all night, faking out DJ Hayden on an option run and beating Oaklands top cornerback Sean Smith on a couple of plays.Smith nearly intercepted a pass to Tajae Sharpe on the opening drive and safety Nate Allen jumped in apparent celebration. But Sharpe caught the ball and got by the unsuspecting Allen for a 60-yard gain that set up Murrays 1-yard TD run.Mariota survived a big hit from Ben Heeney to convert a third down to Andre Johnson on the next drive that led to the first of two field goals.It was good to get a hit like that and get the cobwebs out a little bit, Mariota said. But I was glad we got the first down and kept moving the ball.Mariota then led one more TD drive late in the half before calling it a night. He finished 9 for 16 for 170 yards.Carr was just as sharp, completing 10 of 15 passes for 146 yards. He was able to hit a couple of deep passes, including a 41-yarder to Michael Crabtree on the opening drive and a perfectly placed 29-yarder to Amari Cooper in the end zone for his second TDD pass.dddddddddddd.You see the hard work paying off, Carr said. We hit some today. Its good to see. Hitting those are just reps.Carr capped the opening drive with a 6-yard TD pass to rookie DeAndre Washington. He nearly had a third TD, but missed an open Clive Walford in the end zone late in the first half.ROOKIE WATCHTitans: Henry used his size to overpower Raiders defenders at times and rushed for 49 yards on 12 carries with a 3-yard TD run.Raiders: Rookies Washington and Jalen Richard provided sparks as they make a case to become the primary backup running back to Latavius Murray. Washington ran for 55 yards on eight carries to go with his TD catch and Richard had 35 yards on seven runs. Washington lost a fumble when he was drilled by Sean Spence after catching a short pass from Matt McGloin. David Bass returned it 47 yards for a score.INJURY UPDATETitans: TE Delanie Walker left in the second quarter after losing his breath briefly.Raiders: S Reggie Nelson and LB Neiron Ball sat out with undisclosed injuries.POSITION BATTLESTitans: Quinton Spain, competing with Sebastian Tretola for the starting left guard spot, played the entire first half and helped Tennessee run for 106 yards and kept pressure off Mariota.Raiders: Rookie MLB Cory James got some time with the first-team defense in place of starter Ben Heeney.QUOTABLETitans: Great play, great hit, great timing of it. Those are the plays that we need to make. Those are the plays that were capable of making, coach Mike Mularkey on Spences forced fumble.Raiders: When youre playing a running team like that, you have to play gap-sound defense, you have to set edges, you have to play gaps or theyll make you pay. They made us pay tonight, linebacker Bruce Irvin said after Oakland allowed 106 yards rushing in the first half.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
