WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- John Collins doesnt need to stay on the court long to put up big numbers for Wake Forest.The 6-foot-10 sophomore had 22 points and 15 rebounds to help the Demon Deacons beat Charlotte 91-74 on Tuesday night, posting his fourth straight double-double.Collins has had foul trouble limiting his work, and his team-leading averages of 17.6 points and 10 rebounds had come with him averaging about 23 minutes per game.Sometimes I put myself in that situation, Collins said. Yeah I do wonder (what he could do with more minutes) but then again, I have to keep myself grounded and realize coach (Danny Manning) isnt just taking me out to take me out. Its me getting in foul trouble and something Ive got to work on.He had just one first-half foul as the Demon Deacons (7-2) ran out to an early double-digit lead and never looked back.This is one of the first games in a while that John has played defensively and done a good job of staying out of harms way in the first half, Manning said.Collins finished 7 of 11 from the field and 8 of 10 from the foul line to go with three blocks in 21 minutes, finishing two points and a rebound shy of matching career-high totals.Collins was a handful, we knew he was going to be for us, just with his size and athleticism, 49ers coach Mark Price said. We really didnt have an answer for him.Keyshawn Woods added 12 points against his former team for the Demon Deacons, who ran off 17 unanswered points in the first half to take control. Wake Forest led 45-27 by halftime and never let that margin slide to fewer than 15, earning the programs 11th straight win against instate nonconference opponents.Braxton Ogbueze had 20 points and made six 3-pointers for the 49ers (6-3), who shot just 10 of 30 (33 percent) in the opening half to fall behind big.BIG PICTURECharlotte: The 49ers werent able to string together consecutive wins against power-5 conference opponents. They were coming off a 66-63 home win against Oregon State of the Pac-12 in which they scored 25 points off turnovers, but they didnt have nearly as much success against their Atlantic Coast Conference opponent Tuesday.You go on the road against a good team like this, Price said, you cant dig yourself a hole.Wake Forest: While Collins is off to a terrific start in establishing himself as the Demon Deacons top player, Wake Forest did a better job protecting a big lead than it did when it let a 25-point margin slip all the way to four in a win against Coastal Carolina on Nov. 23. The Demon Deacons are getting plenty of practice, too, considering this was their sixth win by double-digit margins compared to just two a year ago.REUNIONWoods transferred after one season from Charlotte amid the coaching change that led to Prices arrival after the 2014-15 season and heard several boos from 49ers fans attending Tuesdays game.I dont think I was nervous, Woods said. I just played with the flow of the game, played with my teammates and got a win.ALL-STAR NAMESManning and Price played against each other in the NBA all-star games in 1993 and 1994, making this the third meeting of college head coaches who had played in the same NBA all-star game.UP NEXTCharlotte: The 49ers get an extended break before heading south to face No. 21 Florida on Dec. 17 in the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise, Florida.Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons make a roughly 30-mile drive east on Interstate 40 to face UNC Greensboro on Friday.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25Joe Thomas Youth Jersey .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.LONDON -- It was a less-than-glamorous evening for Andy Murray after a marathon win over Milos Raonic that left his knuckles bloodied and his muscles sore.For the second time in four days, Murray spent 10 minutes in an ice bath after breaking the record for the longest three-set match in Tour Finals history.The ice bath thats here, theyre different, the Scot explained when asked about his O2 Arena ablutions. Some you get in and you stand in them. This one is basically like an inflatable one of the paddle pools you would put your kids in when its hot outside in the summer. Its just filled with water, then the ice to cool it down.While it may have looked like something his baby daughter Sophia would have been more at home in, she was tucked up at their house in Oxshott, Surrey.It was more than two and a half hours before Murray came to press around 9 p.m., meaning he will stay at a nearby hotel before practising tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m.The point in going home to see my family and see my daughter ... Shes been sleeping about four hours ago. Not much to go back for, Murray said.At least he got a massage from his physio afterward to cap off his postmatch routine.He will have needed it -- after a grueling 86 matches on tour with 77 wins, he has played his two longest three-set matches of the season here this week. First he went 3 hours, 20 minutes against Kei Nishikori Wednesday, then 3 hours, 38 minutes against Raonic.The 29-year-old mouthed the words big heart toward his team when he finally took his third match point Saturday.I fought really hard today, I fought very hard this week. I have also the last few months, too, he said.It would have been easy today when I was behind to have gone away a little bit, but I didnt. Even after serving for the match twice, having a bunch of match points in the tiebreak, still stayed tough, chased balls down, fought as best as I could. It was enough to get me the win.That is the mentality that has propelled Murray to the top oof the world rankings.dddddddddddd He became the first Briton to do so last Monday, when he ended Novak Djokovics 122-week reign.This was just another moment the Scot came up big in a season full of those moments.Murray has barely put a foot wrong this season. The only real blots on his copy book are the five-set September defeats to Nishikori in the US Open quarterfinals and Juan Martin del Potro in the Davis Cup semifinals.His body had been in dire need of a rest at that point, though, after a grueling summer schedule that saw him win a third major title at Wimbledon as well as retain his Olympic gold medal in Rio, on his way to setting a then-career best win streak of 22 matches.He has now beaten that run with his 23rd straight win coming against Raonic Saturday. This particular streak has taken in four straight titles and propelled him to No. 1, seven years and 82 days since he first reached No. 2.Wednesdays win over Nishikori did create a surprising stat, though -- it was Murrays first match against a top-five player since his Roland Garros defeat to Djokovic in June.Ive beat three guys in the top five in the world, which some people were not happy that I hadnt won against the top-five players, Murray said of a productive week in London. Then it will be the top two players, then top one. Theres always something thats wrong with what youre doing.In terms of winning against Novak or beating Novak, you can only beat the players that are in front of you. I cant do any more than that. Ive done that this week.The guys ahead of me have had that, as well. Im sure with Novak, its been like, Rogers injured or Rafas injured.You can only beat who youre playing against. Ive done that the last few months.On Sunday, an entire season of tennis boils down to one three-set match with the No. 1 ranking on the line. Murray will need one last big push. ' ' '
