PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Old Dominion couldnt shoot. Fortunately for coach Jeff Jones, the Monarchs did just about everything else well enough to win their final game at the Battle 4 Atlantis.Ahmad Caver scored 15 points to help Old Dominion hold off St. Johns 63-55 on Friday night in the seventh-place game despite shooting 30 percent. But the Monarchs dominated the glass and played defense well enough to please Jones, who was irked by the way his team played in Thursdays loss to LSU.To win a game against a good opponent shooting 30 percent is tough, Jones said. But I thought our guys responded and the played with energy. We executed offensively even though we didnt finish. And then obviously our defense was terrific.That was much better than a night earlier, when Jones said his team had atrocious offensive execution.It felt better, Caver said of his teams energy. The whole day felt better, the game felt better.Trey Porter had 12 points and nine rebounds for the Monarchs (3-2), who blew much of a 16-point second-half lead but came up with a couple of key plays in the final 30 seconds to hang.Marcus LoVetts layup cut ODUs lead to 57-54 with 44.8 seconds left, but Caver responded by hitting two free throws with 29.9 seconds left. ODU also came up with a layup off a turnover.LoVett scored 16 points to lead the Red Storm (2-4), who shot 34 percent. ODU also took a 54-34 rebounding advantage, including 26-9 on the offensive glass.The bad thing is we played good defense, we really did, St. Johns coach Chris Mullin said. We just couldnt get the ball. I mean, it was amazing. I never saw so many balls pop out of guys hands, hit guys in the head, it looked like a circus.BIG PICTUREODU: Jones said Thursday after the LSU loss: What we found out (about ourselves) wasnt very pretty. He had reason to feel a little better with the way his team closed its stay in the Bahamas.If we dont have that edge and play with that level of intensity, its just going to be really, really hard for us, he said.St. Johns: Mullin said it would take time for a group led by a young backcourt to figure out how to play together for a complete-game performance. The three games in Atlantis only reinforced that, with St. Johns trailing by double figures at some point in all three games.TIP-INSODU: Denzell Taylor had nine points and 16 rebounds. ... ODU shot just 9 of 36 (25 percent) in the first half but led 30-24. ... The Monarchs made 19 of 31 free throws (61 percent), capping a tournament that saw them miss 36 and shoot just 54 percent over three games.St. Johns: Shamorie Ponds had 10 points. ... St. Johns made 5 of 25 3-pointers (20 percent). ... The Red Storm blocked six shots.UP NEXTODU: The Monarchs host Dartmouth on Wednesday.St. Johns: The Red Storm return home to play Delaware State on Tuesday.---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-Top25 Ken Griffey Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Kyle Seager Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. Trainer Shug McGaughey has asked On Leave to do a bit more in each of her four starts this season, and at Belmont Park on Saturday she once again showed she was up to the task, scoring a relatively easy 2-3/4-length victory in the Grade 2, $500,000 Sands Point.A daughter of War Front owned and bred by Stuart Janney III, On Leave is undefeated this year after failing to win in two tries at 2. She began her 3-year-old campaign with a maiden win at Belmont in June, took an allowance at the tail end of that meet, and then won the $100,000 Riskaverse at Saratoga. All of those wins came on turf at distances ranging from a mile to 1-1/16 miles.In the Sands Point, McGaughey asked On Leave to go nine furlongs against a tougher caliber of competition.A lot of the War Fronts are better milers, but she handled it fine, McGaughey said. I wouldnt want to run her any farther than that this year, but maybe next year well try and get her stretched out.Jose Ortiz let On Leave roll to the lead in the paceless six-horse field of 3-year-old fillies, and then deftly slowed down the tempo while keeping On Leave clear of Elyseas World, who settled into a stalking position.Following a quarter-mile in 24.94 seconds and a half-mile in 49.86, On Leave began to pick up the pace, getting her next quarter in 23.94 seconds en route to a six-ffurlong clocking of 1:13.dddddddddddd.80. On Leave continued to pick up speed, getting a mile in 1:36.28 after a 22.48 quarter, and then cruised home in 11.54 seconds to stop the timer in 1:47.82.There wasnt a lot of speed in the race, and we really never put her on the lead before, but the circumstances made us, Ortiz said. She had a clean break and I put her there. She relaxed well and when I asked her from the quarter pole going to the three-sixteenths she really gave me a good kick.On Leave paid $3.50 to win as a lopsided favorite. McGaughey said he would consider the Grade 1, $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup, a 1-1/8-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies at Keeneland on Oct. 15, for On Leaves next start.Well let her tell us, McGaughey said.Diamond Fields finished second after racing in third early, several lengths behind On Leave and Elyseas World. Diamond Fields saved ground to the stretch, rallied willingly in upper stretch, but then flattened out late and ultimately held the place by a neck over Tin Type Gal. It was another head back to French shipper La Jazi, who raced at the back of the pace early. Elyseas World tired to finish last, a length behind Galileos Song. ' ' '
