The Cavaliers (3-0) enter the matchup allowing just 40 points per game.Guard Ervin Mitchell will have to do the bulk of the scoring for the Tigers, as he enters the game averaging 13.3 points.Virginia has received balance throughout its lineup this season on a team that can play 10 or 11 guys on any given night. Guard Marial Shayok has been Bennetts sixth man off of the bench and leads the Cavaliers in scoring. Shayok is coming off of a 15-point effort in Virginias 62-38 win over Yale on Sunday.Marial obviously brings a scoring punch for us, Bennett said of the 6-foot-5 junior. Hes a hard-playing defender and offensively, hes aggressive. I like that.The Cavaliers depth in the frontcourt and the backcourt will be a tough test for a Grambling State team that averages just 31 rebounds and seven assists per game. Virginia senior guard London Perrantes recorded seven assists himself in the win over Yale.I dont have to do much talking in front of these guys, Perrantes said of his team. I just try to lead by example and come out here every day and just go hard.Big scoring runs and holding opponents to long droughts without scoring have been a catalyst to Virginias 3-0 start.

Ryan Helsley . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Harrison Bader . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford.WASHINGTON -- The Washington Redskins are asking a judge to dismiss a former NFL players lawsuit that accuses the team and former assistant coach Gregg Williams of running a bounty program that encouraged players to intentionally injure opponents. The former player, linebacker Barrett Green, says he was targeted by the Redskins during a game on Dec. 5, 2004, resulting in a career-ending knee injury. Green was playing for the New York Giants at the time. He played for New York and for the Detroit Lions between 2000 and 2005. He filed a lawsuit earlier this year against the Redskins, Williams and the player who hit him, Robert Royal. The team said in a response filed Friday in federal court in Greenbelt, Md., that Greens claims are "utterly baseless." But, even if they were true, his lawsuit is pre-empted by an NFL collective bargaining agreement and was filed too late, lawyers for the team wrote. The team argues that an NFL collective bargaining agreement in place at the time required Green to exhaust grievance and arbitration procedures before filing a lawsuit, which he did not do. The team also says the statute of limitations for all Greens claims is three years from the time of his injury. Green said in his lawsuit he was suspicious he may have been targeted when he was hit in 2004, and team laawyers wrote he had enough information then to pursue his claims if he wanted.dddddddddddd The allegations of a bounty program came to light more recently. Redskins coaches and players told The Associated Press in 2012 that Williams offered cash rewards for big hits and other plays -- a violation of NFL rules -- when he was coaching Washingtons defence from 2004 to 2007. But they differed on whether it was a true bounty scheme that targeted specific players. Williams conduct in Washington was investigated, but didnt result in sanctions. Instead, Williams was suspended by the NFL last year for being the mastermind behind a bounty scheme at another team, the New Orleans Saints, where he was defensive co-ordinator from 2009-2011, including the teams Super Bowl-winning 2009 season. Williams is now a senior defensive assistant with the Tennessee Titans. He started his career with the Titans/Houston Oilers organization, where he coached for 11 seasons, and also was head coach of the Buffalo Bills for three seasons and defensive co-ordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars for one year.
