MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Year 3 of Press Virginia looks more aggressive and perplexing than ever.For sure, the nations 209th-rated schedule hasnt provided much resistance, yet the scope of the blowouts and the voracity with which No. 11 West Virginia is defending makes coach Bob Huggins think his team might be something special.The Mountaineers (9-1) are outscoring opponents by 34.5 points and forcing 26 turnovers per game, both tops in Division I, as they prepare to host Radford (4-6) on Tuesday.Most surprisingly, West Virginia has curbed its penchant for fouling even as officials continue to tightly enforce freedom-of-movement rules.For each of the past two years, the Mountaineers committed 23.5 fouls per game, a figure that ranked third most in the country last season and was dead last in 2014-2015. This season, West Virginia has trimmed that to 18.5 fouls, which ranks 133rd of 347 teams.Guards Jevon Carter, Daxter Miles and Tarik Phillip combine for nearly seven steals per game -- more than 228 teams -- and senior forward Nathan Adrian has taken over at the head of West Virginias full-court press.Youre talking about JC and Dax and Tarik being in the system three years and Teyvon (Myers) has two years, Huggins said. We do it every day, so they ought to get better at it.As the Mountaineers committed their share of silly reach-ins during past seasons, Huggins has railed on officials for ignoring trapped offensive players who created contact or shuffled pivot feet in stepping through double teams.Id like to have a seminar with the officials, Huggins joked Saturday after posting his 800th coaching win. If were going to have a cylinder, the cylinder has to work both ways. If we cant reach in the cylinder, they shouldnt be able to reach out of the cylinder. Thats my biggest pet peeve of the year.Then the 35th-year coach smiled at what he considers a point of progress: At least theyre starting to call traveling once in a while.Sophomore forward Esa Ahmad, the teams top scorer at 12.6 points per game and one of six Mountaineers averaging more than a steal per game, said defenders are tightening up their rotations and making smarter choices about when to trap.Last year, it was more uncontrolled effort, Ahmad said. We were just running everywhere. It was crazy.Radford is 0-4 against teams in the RPI top 100, losing to North Carolina 95-50, UNC-Wilmington 100-64, Wake Forest 80-59 and Akron 88-41.Forward Ed Polite (10.2 points, 10.1 rebounds) averages a double-double for the Highlanders, who are coached by former West Virginia assistant Mike Jones.

Mesut Ozil Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday.

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korean prosecutors have indicted two baseball players for allegedly manipulating games for gambling purposes in what could be another blow to the reputation of the countrys professional sports leagues.Prosecutors in Changwon city on Thursday said they believe pitcher Lee Tae Yang, a starter for NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization, deliberately allowed first-inning walks and runs in two games last season after receiving 20 million won ($17,600) from a gambling broker, who has been arrested.Moon Woo-ram, an outfielder with South Koreas military baseball team in the KBOs second-tier competition, was indicted for allegedly receiving 10 million won ($8,800) in cash and gifts from the broker for connecting him with Lee, according to a statement from the prosecution office.According to prosecutors, Lee and the broker colluded over four of Lees starts between May and September last year, and the pitcher successfully delivered in two of the games. Lee had promised to give up at least a run in the first inning of a May 29 start against the Kia Tigers, when he ended up allowing five runs over four innings in a loss, and at least a walk in the first inning of an Aug. 6 start against the Lotte Giants, when he gave up two runs while lasting only three innings, prosecutors said.The Changwon-based Dinos issued an apology over the suspicions surrounding Lee, who has been left off the teams active roster since June 28 for what the team had describbed as an elbow injury, and said it was taking steps to terminate the contract.ddddddddddddLee, 23, enjoyed a breakout season for the Dinos in 2015, going 10-5 as a starter to help the team reach the playoffs. He was also part of the South Korean team that won the World Baseball Softball Confederations inaugural Premier 12 tournament held in Taiwan and Japan in November. This season, Lee was 2-2 with a 4.21 ERA before the team shelved him.Moon, 24, remains under contract with the Seoul-based Nexen Heroes and has been serving out his compulsory military service with the Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps, whose baseball team competes in the KBOs secondary Futures League.If prosecutors prove the charges against the players in court, Lee and Moon may receive lifetime bans from the KBO, which would also prevent them from playing professionally in the United States, Japan and Taiwan based on agreements among the leagues, the KBO said.South Koreas major professional sports leagues, including baseball, soccer and basketball, have been rocked by match-fixing scandals in recent years that have led to jail sentences and lifetime bans of several players and coaches.The KBO has permanently banned two pitchers from the Seoul-based LG Twins who were convicted in 2012 for taking bribes from gambling brokers in exchange for deliberately walking batters.
