NEW ORLEANS -- If North Carolina needs more scoring from Justin Jackson this season, early signs are the sixth-ranked Tar Heels are going to get it.Jackson scored a career-high 27 points, guard Joel Berry II added a career-high 23, and No. 6 North Carolina never trailed its overmatched host, defeating Tulane 95-75 on Friday night in the regular season opener for both teams.I would love to keep it up every single game, Jackson said. Ive just got to keep on putting in the work before and after practice so that whenever I step on the court, thats the easy part.He made it look easy, but deferred credit to fellow Tar Heels for getting him open shots.My teammates were finding me. They were setting screens, Jackson said. I just had to step into the shot and knock it down.Jackson hit the first four 3s he attempted and also scored on an array of shots from inside and out, including a driving reverse layup. That came as no surprise to Berry, who was among those looking to get Jackson the ball.Hes worked on his shot a lot, worked on making it, being more consistent, Berry said. Thats what were going to need from him.The game marked the college coaching debut for former NBA player and coach Mike Dunleavy, but his Tulane squad simply lacked the talent to stay with a team that lost last seasons national championship game to Villanova on a last-second shot.We got caught up in the momentum, as opposed to playing the way that we needed to play to give ourselves a chance, Dunleavy said. I liked our effort. Im not going to like some of our film, but thats part of it.Cameron Reynolds scored a career-high 21 points for Tulane, hitting five of six from 3-point range. Tulane struggled to get open looks near the basket against North Carolinas imposing interior, but the Green Wave hit 12 3-pointers to account for nearly half of its points.BIG PICTURENorth Carolina: Berry looks ready to take charge and be a playmaker on both ends. Isaiah Hicks looks formidable from 10 feet in, and Jackson demonstrated that hes ready to contribute a lot more than the 12 points per game he supplied last season as North Carolina looks to repeat as Atlantic Coast Conference champions.Tulane: While there was never any evidence that the Green Wave possessed enough talent to compete with a traditional college basketball power like North Carolina, Dunleavy has the Green Wave playing with more purpose and poise than they displayed a year ago. Time will tell if the former NBA coach can make Tulane into a factor in the American Athletic Conference.SUPPORTING CASTSHicks scored 16, and Kennedy Meeks grabbed 15 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who never trailed and led by as many as 21 points. Freshman forward Tony Bradley added 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting.Kain Harris scored 15 points for Tulane and freshman guard Colin Slater added 14 points in his Green Wave debut.BUCKLING DOWNNorth Carolina, a 21-point favorite coming in, found Tulane to be a feisty opponent early. Trailing 20-19 more than 10 minutes into the game, the Green Wave had several chances to take the lead, but missed two shots and then turned the ball over on a charging foul.Thats about when Berry seemed to infuse the Tar Heels with some extra intensity, starting with his alley-oop lob from the top of the key to set up Hicks dunk. Berry then stole the ball from Ray Ona Embo and quickly fed Jackson for a layup. Berry then hit a 3 and added a free throw to make it 31-22 as North Carolina began to pull away. Berrys second 3 of the game made it 44-29.FOUL BEHAVIOROfficials awarded North Carolina a technical free throw after a fan tossed a mini, palm-size basketball on the court. Officials said it was the second time in the game a fan had tossed an object into play.Dunleavy said he did not know about that rule, but cracked that he would starting taking a Tulane fan to road games with instructions to take a couple balls with you and toss them out there just when I need it.POLL IMPLICATIONSNorth Carolina performed as expected against over-matched Tulane, so voters might be inclined to keep the Tar Heels where they are unless one of the five teams above them stumbles.UP NEXTNorth Carolina plays its home opener on Sunday afternoon against Chattanooga.Tulane returns to its regular, on-campus home venue on Monday night to host Southeastern Louisiana.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Marco Estrada Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

The Queensland Reds have been torn to shreds by the Super Rugby title-hunting Chiefs, copping a demoralising 50-5 defeat at Suncorp Stadium.The Chiefs, the competitions leading New Zealand team, scored eight tries to one and pocketed a bonus point on Friday night as they enjoyed their biggest win over any team in Super Rugby - the ideal tune-up two weeks out from the finals.For the Reds it was an ugly reminder of how far off the pace they really are, as the Chiefs ruthlessly exposed their deficiencies and visiting players lined up to cash in on their mistakes.A crowd of 18,129 supporters were on hand, and most of them will be counting down the seconds until the arrival of 2017 recruits Stephen Moore, George Smith and potentially Quade Cooper, who will hopefully help turn things around.It took just 95 seconds for the Chiefs to begin the bloodbath, with Seta Tamanivalu blowing through some weak tackles from Samu Kerevi, Curtis Browning and Nick Frisby for the first of his two tries.Their next was a try-of-the-season contender, finished off by Atu Moli but only after a mesmerising chain of offloads that rendered the Queensland defence helpless - moments after Frisby had botched a kick for touch, turning over possession.The Reds thought theyd stemmed the damage on 21 minutes when Chris Kuridrani scored to make it 14-5, but yellow cards to Frisby and rookie fullback Jack Tuttle within two minutes of each other reducced them to 13 men, and the Chiefs pounced.ddddddddddddrisby kicked the ball out of the hands of Chiefs flanker Lachlan Boshier as he bore down under the posts in the 29th minute, which was deemed foul play and triggered a penalty try, while Tuttles inexperience showed when he attempted a kick and chase, but clumsily took out Tawera Kerr-Barlow as he was collecting the ball and was sent to the bin.Taking full advantage, the Chiefs ran in tries through Sam Cane and Tamanivalu to make it 33-5 at the break before Nathan Harris and a second-half double from Damian McKenzie piled on more hurt in the second half.McKenzie finished with 20 points to his name, converting four tries.To make matters worse for the Reds, they also lost their captain, James Slipper, who went off with what appeared to be a chest injury in the first half, while Greg Holmes (neck) and Anthony Faingaa (back) were late withdrawals.While Reds interim co-coach Matt OConnor rued Queenslands errors, he admitted his side were simply blown away by an elite team.Its relative to how good they are. Theyre the best (team) weve played, OConnor said.The intensity that they played at in the first half was hard to match, and then they got on a roll and we went down to 13 blokes and it was always going to be hard from that point on.
