COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M senior transfer JC Hampton had quite an encore performance against Denver -- a little more than a year apart.Hampton scored a season-high 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting as the Aggies defeated the Pioneers 80-58 on Wednesday night. Last year while starting for Lipscomb, Hampton scored 21 points against Denver.Hampton, whose previous high this season was nine points, said he received a text message this week from teammate Tyler Davis encouraging him to be more aggressive on offense.That gave me that much more confidence, Hampton said. However, the team needs me to help, Im fine with.The Aggies (6-2) led 34-23 at halftime and the Pioneers (3-5) never threatened their larger opponent from the Southeastern Conference in the second half. A&M forced nine turnovers while committing only four of their own in holding a 16-4 advantage in points off turnovers.I like where this team is right now, A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. Twenty assists with four turnovers -- youre going to win a lot of games with that no matter who you play.Hampton made 5 of 7 3-pointers, while the rest of his teammates made 2 of 19 from the 3-point line. The Aggies dominated inside, holding a 30-12 edge in points in the paint.This was an opportunity to see what a really good team looks like, Denver coach Rodney Billups said. I thought our effort was subpar. But thats something we can fix.Tonny Trocha-Morelos added 15 points in making all six of his field-goal attempts, and he was the only Aggie beside Hampton to score in double figures, while Davis snagged a game-high eight rebounds.Joe Rosga led Denver with a game-high 24 points, and no other Pioneer scored in double figures.Joe shot the ball really well, but with the exception of him, nobody else did at all, Billups said. Hes got some work to do defensively, and I jokingly tell Joe hes got to score 24 points to even it out.BIG PICTURETexas A&M: The Aggies looked mostly ho-hum for a second consecutive game, which is no coincidence against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Denver. Ten Aggies played at least 11 minutes against Denver, as coach Billy Kennedy freely rotated his players in the lopsided contest. The Aggies have another alleged pushover at home on tap on Saturday against South Carolina State, before things get serious again on Dec. 17 against Arizona in Houstons Toyota Center.Denver: The Pioneers hustled throughout under first-year coach Rodney Billups, but A&Ms size was too much for Denver to make any serious runs throughout the 40 minutes. The Pioneers at least have earned plenty of valuable experience for Summit League play with two of their last three games against Wyoming and A&M (both losses).UP NEXTTexas A&M: The Aggies play host to South Carolina State on Saturday to wrap up a three-game homestand, and their cushiest portion of this seasons schedule.Denver: The Pioneers play at Air Force on Saturday, their sixth of seven consecutive games away from Denver.TURNING POINTThe Aggies led 15-10 nearly midway through the first half when Admon Gilder found Tavario Miller wide open on a fast break for an alley-oop, prompting the nights loudest roar. The Pioneers never threatened again.STAT OF THE NIGHTKennedy has said he intends for this type of team to slow things down and set up the offense through the big men, but at least on this night the Aggies held a 10-0 fast-break advantage.HE SAID ITThey just found me in the open spots. And whenever I get the ball I need to make it, so they can get me the ball again. -- Trocha-Morelos on making all six of his shots from the floor.RISING STARA wondrous Billups asked the A&M coaches afterward, Where did you all get Robert Williams? Kennedy quipped, Vivian, Louisiana. The freshman Williams collected half of A&Ms eight blocks, and leads the Aggies with 21 this season, more than double of any of his teammates.

Daniel Ricciardo says he was expecting Ferrari to be quicker during Friday practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix, but anticipates the Italian outfit will be stronger in qualifying.Sebastian Vettel claimed victory for Ferrari at last years race at Sepang and is positive the team can still take at least one race win before the end of the season. While Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen finished ahead of both Red Bull drivers in each session on Friday, the long run pace of Red Bull -- particularly Verstappens -- left Ricciardo pleasantly surprised, although he predicts Ferrari will be quicker over one lap on Saturday.Mercedes we dont have to explain, we know that they will be quick, Ricciardo said. I thought Ferrari would be a bit quicker here. With all going well we can get closer to that, we can get within a couple of tenths. So we will see tomorrow.I think we did expect Ferrari to be quite quick here, obviously last year they had some good success and were probably, well at least me, a bit off the pace where I want to be. I think we can get closeer, I think theyll still have their nose in front come qualifying, but in the race as we know anything can happen.ddddddddddddAfter being quicker than Verstappen in opening practice, Ricciardo appeared to struggle for one-lap pace in the second session, ending up eighth and three tenths down on his teammate. The Australian admits he has time to find but remains confident that Red Bull can challenge on Sunday.Definitely like to be a bit quicker, but its just Friday, so theres time to improve and learn and see what we can do. I think tonight, a bit like Singapore I wasnt quite happy on Friday but we turned it around on Saturday and the rest of the weekend so Im confident we can do all these things.It just requires attention to detail for now. I dont know what the weather forecast is, but if theres a bit of rain we probably wouldnt turn that down for now. Definitely want to find a bit more in the dry conditions.
