NEW YORK -- Illinois coach John Groce stood behind the podium and offered a bit of analysis.And an understatement.Theyre really good, Groce said a few minutes after No. 19 West Virginias 89-57 victory over Illinois on Thursday in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center.Nathan Adrian had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Mountaineers (4-0), and Jevon Carter added 10 points, six rebounds, six steals and five assists.Those two guys are special kind of guys, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said.They will face Temple in the title game Friday. The Owls beat No. 25 Florida State 89-86.Esa Ahmad and Elijah Macon each had nine points, and Teyvon Myers and Daxter Miles Jr. added eight each. Michael Finke led Illinois (4-2) with 13 points, and Mike Thorne Jr. had 12.West Virginia finished the half on a 41-20 run for a 48-29 lead. The biggest advantage was 39 points with 4:42 left.Befitting a program nicknamed Press Virginia, West Virginia forced 13 turnovers in the first half, leading to 19 points. Illinois only forced two turnovers in the first half. For the game, the Mountaineers scored 34 points off of 24 Illinois turnovers.Jim Harrick told me one time, `Id rather be up than down. Id rather have the ball than not and Id sure rather win than lose, Huggins said.BIG PICTURE:Illinois: Undoubtedly, this was an embarrassing loss for the Illini. But the positive is that they are unlikely to play anyone in the Big Ten that resembles West Virginia.West Virginia: Bob Huggins teams are renowned for their trap and their ability to turn opponents turnovers into fast break points. Nothing has changed in that regard. Long term, though, does he have the kind of ball distributor that is needed to be successful in the NCAA Tournament?POLL IMPLICATIONS:Illinois: Entering Thursday, the Illini were coming off an 84-80 overtime loss to Winthrop. So they werent going to move into the Top 25. The loss to West Virginia just solidified that fact.West Virginia: Following a decisive win, the Mountaineers are staying in the Top 25.QUOTABLE:The thing, obviously, that was the difference in the game was the points off turnovers: 34-1. Theyve forced every one theyve played into 20-plus turnovers. We were determined to try and not get to that 20 (turnover) number and (that) didnt happen. A lot of credit certainly goes to them, their aggressiveness and the way they attack and pressure you for 40 minutes on misses, makes and dead balls. -- Groce on West Virginias press defense.UP NEXT:Illinois: Will face Florida State in the consolation game Friday.West Virginia: Will face Temple in the championship game Friday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Vapormax Plus Discount .

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Charges were dismissed Friday against a former Tennessee high school basketball coach who was accused of failing to report child sexual abuse after a freshman player was assaulted by older teammates.Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don Poole ruled that the law Andre Montgomery of Ooltewah High School was accused of violating did not apply in this case. Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse.Poole said when a victim is 13-17 years old, the Tennessee statute that prosecutors relied on applies only to cases in which the attacker is a parent or someone else who lives in the same household as the victim.Now, that doesnt mean that there wouldnt be a moral requirement to report that. That doesnt mean there might not be a job or employment requirement to report that, Poole said. But does this statute create a legal requirement on this defendant or anyone else to report it? I think the answer is no.Melydia Clewell, a spokeswoman for the Hamilton County District Attorneys Office, said prosecutors would ask the Attorney Generals office to review the decision for potential appeal. Prosecutors have 30 days from the ruling to file an appeal.Judge Poole applied the law, said Curtis Bowe, Montgomerys lawyer. He read the law, understood it. If there are issues with the law, its in the hands of the Legislature to fix.The case stemmed from a Dec. 22 incident in a Gatlinburg cabin while Ooltewahs team was participating in a holiday tournament. Montgomery was Ooltewahs coach at the time.Police in Gatlinbburg, which is in Sevier County, said a freshman required emergency surgery after being assaulted with a pool cue by teammates in an apparent hazing incident.dddddddddddd Authorities in Hamilton County, where Ooltewah is located, said four freshman players were assaulted during the trip.One player was convicted in juvenile court of aggravated rape and aggravated assault in August. Two other players were convicted as juveniles only of aggravated assault.Poole described the assault as horrendous and horrific even as he cleared Montgomery on the charge of failing to report the situation to Hamilton County authorities. He added that it appears to me the statutes in question possibly are not properly worded and maybe dont come across as the Legislature intended.Hamilton County officials charged Montgomery, assistant coach Karl Williams and athletic director Allard Nayadley in January with failure to report child sexual abuse.Prosecutors dropped the charges against Williams in May. Nayadley entered a pre-trial diversion program in May with the agreement that the charges could be removed from his record if he complies with terms of that program, which include performing community service and taking a class on mandatory reporting.All three officials, as well as the Hamilton County Board of Education, have been sued by the victims family. The lawsuit says school officials knew Ooltewah athletes were being abused and did nothing about it. ' ' '
