BOULDER, Colo. -- Colorado senior Derrick White stared at the stat sheet as he sat down and just grimaced.His coach shared his disgust, especially those 19 turnovers and 15 missed free throws.The stats were made a whole lot more palatable by these numbers -- a 67-55 win over Seattle on Monday night in a regional round of the Legends Classic.That was the definition of winning ugly right there, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. We were not very good offensively tonight, obviously, on a lot of different levels. But to figure out a way to win on a night when youre not functioning that well offensively is a testament to our guys will and their toughness and our defense and rebounding.The hallmarks of Boyles program have long been defense and rebounding, which never take a night off. The Buffaloes (2-0) held Seattle to 30.2 percent shooting from the floor and out-rebounded the Redhawks by a 55-35 margin.Were in the process of becoming a good team, Boyle said. Were not a good team right now.White scored 15 points and Josh Fortune hit two big 3-pointers down the stretch to lift Colorado. Fortune finished with 12 points, all in the second half, while Wesley Gordon added 11 points and 14 rebounds.We had 19 turnovers ... and we still won, White said. It just goes to show that if we guard and we rebound we can win.Seattle (1-1) was led by Brendan Westendorf, who finished with 17 points.Trailing by a basket early in the second half, Colorado went on a 16-2 run to gain some separation. But the Redhawks pulled to within 54-51 on Westendorfs four-point play with around 6 minutes remaining.Soon after, Fortune entered the game and bailed out the Buffaloes, who finished 3 of 18 from 3-point land. They were also 26 of 41 from the free throw line.Its tough when you get that close and they pull away from you, Westendorf said.Seattle coach Cameron Dollar couldnt agree more.We had some looks but didnt capitalize on it, Dollar said. You have to be able to score a little bit more than we did tonight.BIG PICTURESeattle: As Colorado discovered, the Redhawks arent limited to preseason All-Western Athletic Conference players Westendorf and William Powell, who was held to four points. Scott Ulaneo had 11 rebounds, forward Emmanuel Chibuogwu scored nine points and 7-foot-3 center Aaron Menzies contributed eight.Colorado: Although the Buffaloes struggled with their long-range shooting, they should get a lift from freshman guard Bryce Peters. He served the second of a two-game suspension Monday for violating team rules.PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONMore than a dozen students stood in an aisle before tipoff and protested what they felt were inequities on campus. One of the leaders, Xavier Cochrane, said Donald Trumps victory during the U.S. presidential election played a role in the peaceful demonstration at Coors Events Center. The students held up one hand and chanted such things as Black Lives Matter and Latino Lives Matter.We want our voice to be heard, said Cochrane, the co-president of the Black Student Alliance at Colorado and a wide receiver on the football team.X-FACTORXavier Johnson scored 13 to become the 33rd player in school history to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau for a career. Johnson missed last season as he recovered from a torn Achilles.Its a blessing to be able to play the game again, coming off that Achilles tear, Johnson said. Im just happy to score the basketball.NO DOMBothered by a sore foot, junior guard Dominique Collier didnt play in the second half.If it doesnt get better, the Buffaloes may have to shut him down for a bit.We have to get it healthy and healed, Boyle said. We need him. We need Dom Collier to be effective for us this year.UP NEXTSeattle travels to Notre Dame on Wednesday as part of the Legends Classic.Colorado hosts Louisiana Monroe on Thursday in the second game of the Boulder Regional of the Legends Classic.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Wholesale NCAA Jerseys .

BEREA, Ohio -- Robert Griffin IIIs left arm is cradled in a black sling, restrained. Same as his career.And as RG3 walked around the practice field Wednesday, still wearing his orange No. 10 jersey, all he could do was offer advice and encouragement to Clevelands other quarterbacks, receivers and teammates who are going forward without him.Griffins season of revival is on hold.Sidelined for a minimum of eight games -- and perhaps longer -- after breaking the coracoid bone in his left shoulder in Sundays opener at Philadelphia, Griffin is nonetheless determined to overcome an unexpected obstacle.Its the people who dont quit in life who end up making it and achieve all of their goals, he said. Thats kind of the focus that I have right now, to stay in it with the team, stay in it mentally, and then when Im physically ready to get back out there, Ill be out there.Making his regular-season debut with the Browns, Griffin was injured in the final minutes of the 29-10 loss when he was drilled near the sideline by Eagles rookie defensive back Jalen Mills. Griffin was attempting to run out of bounds when Mills, being blocked by tight end Gary Barnidge and with one foot on the sideline, delivered a hard hit to the QBs chest area.Griffin did not accuse Mills of an illegal hit, and said he was not attempting to run him over -- a charge made by several national TV commentators, who felt the QB had time to slide safely.I dont think it was necessarily a dirty play, I just think it was something that was unfortunate that happened, said Griffin, who also got a slight push from cornerback Ron Brooks. If you watch my reaction, I was as surprised as anybody. I wasnt trying to run anybody over or make it a bravado moment. I was just trying to get out of bounds, and thats just the way it unfolded.Griffin will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks. At that point, doctors will decide whether he needs surgery. An operation would certainly end his season, and its still possible the 26-year-old wont play again in 2016 if he hasnt healed enough.Whatever the case, Griffin wont push things. He wants to play again this season, but not at the risk of missing even more time.Its not aanything that Im going to rush back into, he said.dddddddddddd If the doctors say Im good, the trainers say Im good, and my body feels good, then that is the goal. Its not something where Im saying all bets are off. I just want to do the right thing and listen to what they have to say.Despite the injury, Griffin was in good spirits when he spoke to reporters for the first time since his diagnosis. During practice, Griffin smiled easily as he interacted with teammates and spent a few moments talking to rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman, also a Baylor product.Browns coach Hue Jackson believes the field can provide Griffin some comfort.Its great to have him out there, he said. He needs to be around his teammates, and Im sure they need to be around him. Its unfortunate it happened. But hell grow from it, learn from it, and we will, too.Griffin will rely on his faith to help him deal with yet another significant injury. He has endured two major knee injuries, a dislocated ankle, back problems and a concussion.It would be enough to make anyone uneasy, but Griffin doesnt believe hes snake-bitten.You cant think that way, he said. I have only missed eight games in my career due to injury. You just have to make sure you stay focused, keep your mindset right and dont let that affect you as far as what you think, or go out there and play the game. It is a beautiful game. I am very blessed to have an opportunity to play it. I look forward to getting back out there.Game notes Jackson knows many Browns fans have lost patience in a team that has made the playoffs once since 1999. He called his opener horrible, vowed improvement. The fans might not like me for a while, but theyre going to love me here pretty soon, he said. Eventually they will love me because were going to win. Were going to win a championship here for the Cleveland Browns. ... Jackson said rookie DE Carl Nassib earned his promotion to the starting lineup after getting a sack and knocking down a pass last week.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
