CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Freshman guard Kyle Guy made the biggest splash of his fledgling college career with 20 points in only 13 minutes Tuesday night. Yet the heralded Virginia recruit was upstaged by a trio of walk-ons who made the most of some rare extended playing time in a runaway victory.Justice Bartley scored five points while Jeff Jones and Trevon Gross Jr. added three apiece for the seventh-ranked Cavaliers in a 90-34 blowout of Grambling State.All three drew raucous cheers from the crowd -- and the regulars watching from the bench -- when they scored.It was really good to see Jeff and Tre and Justice, those guys that work so hard to prepare our guys in practice, get that many minutes and that many shots, coach Tony Bennett said, laughing as he glanced at a stat sheet that showed Gross took eight shots in 11 minutes.The rainbow 3-pointer he finally made with 3:40 remaining took an immediate place in Bennetts memory bank.Those are some of my favorite memories, the coach said, rattling off the names of other walk-ons getting their first points.The Cavaliers (4-0) made quick work of the undermanned Tigers, running off 26 consecutive points to end the first half leading 49-9. The final score marked the 17th time in Bennetts career at Virginia that the Cavaliers held an opponent below 40 points -- and the third game in a row.I dont think that you can imagine what its like to play against that defense, Tigers coach Shawn Walker said.Guy, who was Mr. Basketball in Indiana last season, shot 6 of 7 from the floor, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range. Bennett removed him with 10:51 remaining and started substituting with walk-ons very early.Marcel Thompson led Grambling State (1-3) with eight points.Guy, the most heralded of a vaunted freshman class for Virginia, causes a stir in the crowd every time he shows off his quick release. When his shot falls, fans go wild. He whetted their appetite in the previous game by scoring 15 points, and was even better against the Tigers.It feels really good right now being out there, Guy said. I try to be really poised and focused and make sure I am mentally prepared for each game. ... I expect to go through my ups and downs, but will try to stay on an even keel through it all.Marial Shayok and Darius Thompson added 12 points apiece for Virginia.Grambling State, meanwhile, might want to lose Virginias phone number. The Cavaliers led by 40 at halftime after the 26-point burst, their largest lead at the break since the only other time they played Grambling, in 2001. They led that game 68-25 at intermission.BIG PICTUREGrambling State: The Tigers have five seniors on their roster, which should bode well when they get to their level of play in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, but they also have seven freshmen and are no doubt using the pay-day portion of their schedule to try to blend young and old into something more cohesive.Virginia: The preseason is over for the Cavaliers, who used their first four games to incorporate Guy, redshirt freshman Mamadi Diakite and freshman Ty Jerome into the rotation, a process that might have taken on greater urgency when talented low post scorer Austin Nichols was dismissed from the team last Friday. The schedule gets more serious for Virginia now with its next string of games against Iowa, Providence or Memphis, Ohio State, West Virginia and East Carolina.TWENTY-SOMETHINGVirginia has had a run of at least 20 consecutive points in three of its four games. It outscored UNCG 22-0 in the opener, scored 20 in a row against Yale on Sunday night and had the 26-0 run against the Tigers. The Cavaliers are allowing 38.8 points per game this season.HOMEBODIESVirginia has won 23 straight at home, the sixth-longest streak in the country.UP NEXTGrambling State plays a team to be determined in the Emerald Coast Classic.Virginia plays Iowa in the Emerald Coast Classic on Friday night in Niceville, Florida.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr Fred Lynn Jersey Large . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Green water in pools is something you wont see at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, says a top official.During this past summers Rio Olympics, officials gave up on cleaning a green-tinged water in one of the pools at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center, so they drained and transferred almost 1 million gallons of clear water from a nearby practice pool in time for the start of synchronized swimming events. An adjacent, smaller pool continued to be used for diving competitions, even though it remained murky. American diver Abby Johnston dubbed it the swamp.But on Monday, FINA president Julio Cesar Maglione told Kyodo news agency that will not happen again in Tokyo, host of the next Summer Games.I visited the place where they are beginning to build the new swimming pool and... it will have all the requirements for an excellent championship because the last condition in Rio was different, Maglione told Kyodo. We are sure that it will be fine here.Back in August, Rio officials blamed a contractor misstake -- dumping hydrogen peroxide into the pool that caused an adverse reaction when it mixed with chlorine -- for venue pools turning green during the Olympics.dddddddddddd Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada called the pool draining a radical measure that was necessary to ensure clear water for both judges and competitors and stressed that the kale-colored water posed no risk to the health of the athletes.Of course it is an embarrassment because we are hosting the Olympic Games, Andrada then said. It should be light blue, transparent. We could have done better in fixing it quickly. We learned a painful lesson the hard way.Tokyos pool venue is being built near the existing Tatsumi International Swimming Center, but there is debate over whether it should hold a 15,000- or 20,000-seat capacity.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
