COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M senior transfer JC Hampton had quite an encore performance against Denver -- a little more than a year apart.Hampton scored a season-high 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting as the Aggies defeated the Pioneers 80-58 on Wednesday night. Last year while starting for Lipscomb, Hampton scored 21 points against Denver.Hampton, whose previous high this season was nine points, said he received a text message this week from teammate Tyler Davis encouraging him to be more aggressive on offense.That gave me that much more confidence, Hampton said. However, the team needs me to help, Im fine with.The Aggies (6-2) led 34-23 at halftime and the Pioneers (3-5) never threatened their larger opponent from the Southeastern Conference in the second half. A&M forced nine turnovers while committing only four of their own in holding a 16-4 advantage in points off turnovers.I like where this team is right now, A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. Twenty assists with four turnovers -- youre going to win a lot of games with that no matter who you play.Hampton made 5 of 7 3-pointers, while the rest of his teammates made 2 of 19 from the 3-point line. The Aggies dominated inside, holding a 30-12 edge in points in the paint.This was an opportunity to see what a really good team looks like, Denver coach Rodney Billups said. I thought our effort was subpar. But thats something we can fix.Tonny Trocha-Morelos added 15 points in making all six of his field-goal attempts, and he was the only Aggie beside Hampton to score in double figures, while Davis snagged a game-high eight rebounds.Joe Rosga led Denver with a game-high 24 points, and no other Pioneer scored in double figures.Joe shot the ball really well, but with the exception of him, nobody else did at all, Billups said. Hes got some work to do defensively, and I jokingly tell Joe hes got to score 24 points to even it out.BIG PICTURETexas A&M: The Aggies looked mostly ho-hum for a second consecutive game, which is no coincidence against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Denver. Ten Aggies played at least 11 minutes against Denver, as coach Billy Kennedy freely rotated his players in the lopsided contest. The Aggies have another alleged pushover at home on tap on Saturday against South Carolina State, before things get serious again on Dec. 17 against Arizona in Houstons Toyota Center.Denver: The Pioneers hustled throughout under first-year coach Rodney Billups, but A&Ms size was too much for Denver to make any serious runs throughout the 40 minutes. The Pioneers at least have earned plenty of valuable experience for Summit League play with two of their last three games against Wyoming and A&M (both losses).UP NEXTTexas A&M: The Aggies play host to South Carolina State on Saturday to wrap up a three-game homestand, and their cushiest portion of this seasons schedule.Denver: The Pioneers play at Air Force on Saturday, their sixth of seven consecutive games away from Denver.TURNING POINTThe Aggies led 15-10 nearly midway through the first half when Admon Gilder found Tavario Miller wide open on a fast break for an alley-oop, prompting the nights loudest roar. The Pioneers never threatened again.STAT OF THE NIGHTKennedy has said he intends for this type of team to slow things down and set up the offense through the big men, but at least on this night the Aggies held a 10-0 fast-break advantage.HE SAID ITThey just found me in the open spots. And whenever I get the ball I need to make it, so they can get me the ball again. -- Trocha-Morelos on making all six of his shots from the floor.RISING STARA wondrous Billups asked the A&M coaches afterward, Where did you all get Robert Williams? Kennedy quipped, Vivian, Louisiana. The freshman Williams collected half of A&Ms eight blocks, and leads the Aggies with 21 this season, more than double of any of his teammates.

DENVER -- For a team picked to be at the bottom, ninth-ranked Colorado sure made a quick ascent to the top.No wonder the Buffaloes used The Rise as one of their motivational mantras.Coach Mike MacIntyre and the Buffaloes (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12, No. 9 CFP) have turned into one of the biggest surprises of college football this season. Picked last in the South Division during the preseason media poll , the resurgent Buffs reeled off six straight conference wins to earn a spot in the Pac-12 championship game Friday against No. 4 Washington (11-1, 8-1, No. 5 CFP).That Make CU Great again slogan plastered across the front of hats worn by Colorado players may need a little revising, because theyre well on their way.Were getting there, receiver Devin Ross said after beating Utah on Saturday. Were close. ... We still have a lot of work left to do.The Buffaloes play a Washington team that wasnt a total surprise to win the North, even if Stanford was forecasted in the preseason poll. The Huskies sealed their spot in the leagues title game by routing Washington State 45-17 in the Apple Cup last Friday.Hopefully well show up and play our best game of the year, Washington coach Chris Petersen said of the Pac-12 title game.The Huskies go against a Colorado team led by a turnover-producing defense and gritty quarterback Sefo Liufau, who made a quicker-than-expected return from a severe foot injury he suffered a year ago. The Buffaloes finished last in the Pac-12 South in each of MacIntyres first three seasons in Boulder -- winning a combined two league games -- before this years transformation.It was the first eight-win conference season in school history.The best word I can use right now is joy, MacIntyre said. Joy from the bottom of my toes to the top of my head for the players, the coaches, everybody involved with our program, all the fans that stayed with us and all the fans that came back.Here are things to know heading into the title game at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, California:SEFOS SUCCESS: Colorado wasnt sure if Liufau would even be healed in time for the season after having surgery last November to fix a Lisffranc injury , which usually involves a separation of ligaments and joints in the foot.dddddddddddd The team courted graduate transfer QB Davis Webb, the gunslinger who announced he would be joining the Buffaloes soon after graduating from Texas Tech only to change his mind and head to California.Liufau, whos from Tacoma, Washington, has set or tied 87 school marks over his career.BROWNINGS MOMENT: Jake Browning was deservedly in the Heisman Trophy conversation for most of the season. Then, he was quickly dropped after struggling in Washingtons loss to USC when he threw two interceptions.Dont discount Browning, though -- his three-TD performance on Friday against Washington State may get him back into consideration. A big game against the best pass defense in the Pac-12 just might get Browning to New York as a finalist. Browning has 40 touchdown passes this season, becoming just the third Pac-12 quarterback in league history to reach the 40 TD mark, joining Jared Goff and Marcus Mariota.MAKING HISTORY: The Buffaloes are the fourth team to go from worst to first in the conferences history. One of those was Washington, which accomplished the feat in 1959 when the Huskies followed up a 1-6 in `58 with a 3-1 mark in an abbreviated schedule.TAILS NEVER FAILS: Colorado is 11-1 during the coin toss this season. The Buffs only loss on the coin flip was at USC on Oct. 8. Thats also the last time theyve dropped a game.HOME-RUN THREAT: The Huskies have 27 touchdowns this season of 25 or more yards and at least one in every game. The Buffaloes will want to keep a close eye on John Ross and Dante Pettis -- either on offense or special teams -- along with the running duo of Myles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman.Washingtons goal is to win the Pac-12 and our goal is to win the Pac-12. Its going to be a great game, MacIntyre said. Its going to be spectacular.---AP Sports Writer Tim Booth contributed from Seattle.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
