ewis were battling for No. 1 in the world until the South Korean left

North Carolina coach Roy Williams knows how fast Kentucky can put up a shot, and hes quick to point out he wants the Tar Heels to operate the same way.The seventh-ranked Tar Heels (10-1) will try to keep up with the sixth-ranked Wildcats (9-1) when they play each other at 5:45 p.m. Saturday in the second game of the CBS Sports Classic at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The opening game pits No. 2 UCLA against Ohio State.Kentucky and North Carolina, two of the bluebloods of college basketball, combine for 13 national championships and 219 players drafted to the NBA.I did get something reading (Kentuckys) stats, Williams said. They take a shot every 13.5 or 13.6 seconds. ... I know we dont take it that fast, but Id like to. Id like to take it faster than that.John Caliparis team leads the nation with 71.3 field goal attempts per game. North Carolina ranks 15th at 64.7 shots per game or 1.6 shots per minute. Kentuckys average possession length of 13.5 seconds ranks fourth nationally, according to Kenpom.com. North Carolinas possessions average 14.4 seconds, ranking 12th nationally.Dont expect Williams to try to slow the pace to take Kentucky out of its game because if that happened, North Carolina could become ineffective as well. Both teams will look to score in transition as much as possible. Neither will work the shot clock.I think Id really screw up everybody if I say were going to start the four corners and slow it down, he said. I think theyd all drop dead if I started in the delay game.An important factor that might decide the outcome is which team adjusts faster on defense against the others transition attack. Grabbing offensive rebounds and limiting turnovers is key to that, lessening the possibility of the other team pushing the ball up quicker than having to inbound the ball.Youll hear him (Williams say), Get back! And youll hear me, Get back! Calipari said. Well both be yelling that probably 100 times a half. Theyre fast. Were fast.While North Carolina has not faced a team that likes to push the pace like Kentucky, the Wildcats have the experience of going against UCLA, which handed them only their fifth home loss in the Calipari era, scoring 97 points in the process.Were gonna have to figure out how to be efficient, Calipari said. The game we lost it was one-on-one basketball. The synergy you need -- alright, they stopped us; now we gotta play. Now we gotta create for each other. We werent ready for that. Hopefully were a little more ready this time.Of particular concern to Calipari is that North Carolina has the best rebounding margin in the country at plus-14.8, and ranks first in the country in offensive-rebounding percentage.North Carolinas 70 freshman center Tony Bradley, with a team-high 41 offensive rebounds, leads the nation in offensive-rebounding percentage. Sophomore forward Kennedy Meeks, 610, leads the Tar Heels with 9.3 rebounds per game and is 15th nationally in offensive-rebounding percentage.Theyre big and they fight for position, Calipari said of North Carolinas frontcourt. They try to have two feet in the lane or they seal you over the top. ... When they shoot it -- are you ready for this -- half of their misses they rebound for the season.You shoot it because half of those youre going to get back when you miss. Youre either making them or you miss and half of those you get. Thats why they shoot it quickly is because they rebound it.The biggest question mark of the game is the availability of North Carolina guard Joel Berry, who missed the last two games with an ankle sprain. Berry averages 14.8 points and shoots 41.9 percent from 3-point range.Hes definitely a good player ... hes a good floor general and everything, said Kentucky freshman wing player Sacha Killeya-Jones, a native of Chapel Hill, N.C., who played pick-up games with the some of the Tar Heels prior to committing to Caliparis program.Kentucky has four players who average at least 12.1 points, led by shooting guard Malik Monks 19.4 points. He is at the heart of the Wildcats potent offense. His 151 field goal attempts are 33 more than the next player (point guard DeAaron Fox) and his 78 3-point tries are double the amount of the next Wildcat (reserve guard Mychal Mulder).

That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

Jack Ziebell has nominated better ball use as the key to North Melbourne halting their slide down the AFL ladder on Friday night.The Kangaroos banked nine consecutive wins in their best ever start to a season but have since crashed to eighth and next face Collingwood in a must-win encounter at Etihad Stadium.Ruckman Todd Goldstein and key forward Drew Petrie have copped the brunt of recent scrutiny during Norths five-match losing streak.The criticism has grated Ziebell somewhat, with the vice-captain lamenting the way his team has butchered the ball in recent weeks.Theyre very important parts of our side. It definitely isnt just those two guys who havent been doing as much as they can, its on all of the leaders and the whole team, Ziebell told AAP.Theres some different things that have fallen away a little bit.Our ball use is one that we can obviously do a lot better in. We can take a lot more ownership in making sure the ball gets to our teammate a lot cleaner.It has slipped and we have to work our butts off to get it back to where it was.Ziebell noted the Kangaroos forward line, including Petrie, have suffered because of their teammates sloppiness.Petrie celebrated his 300th game in round seven but more recently hit the headlines when club great Wayne Carey suggested the 33-year-olds time was up.ddddddddddddYou look at key forwards, even forwards in general, they rely on other people getting the ball to them, Ziebell said.In the last month we havent been helping out big Drewy and the rest of our forwards in that regard.Hopefully we can give them more opportunities to kick goals and put a big score on the board.Ziebell echoed coach Brad Scotts call for calm, saying all the ingredients were there for North to reproduce the early-season form that earned them top spot on the ladder.We just have to rediscover a bit of that flair and stuff that we had in the first half of the season, the hard-nosed midfielder said.If we can do that, we know that were a good side and well be a hard team to beat.Theres still plenty of football to be played this year.Not much has changed in terms of personnel (compared to the first half of the season). Obviously theres a few guys out but the team well put out is very, very capable. ' ' '
