DURHAM, N.C. -- With three big men out with injuries, top-ranked Duke is leaning on its guards for a little bit of everything.Grayson Allen had 25 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Frank Jackson added 21 points and the Blue Devils beat Grand Canyon 96-61 on Saturday.We have to rebound -- the whole perimeter has to rebound, said Allen, who finished one rebound shy of his career best. We know the big guys that we do have in the game, theyre going to be battling, boxing out the other bigs, so the perimeter, we need to crash in and rebound and clean up all the loose stuff.Amile Jefferson scored 15 points, Luke Kennard finished with 14 and Matt Jones had 11 points for the short-handed Blue Devils (2-0).Once again playing without three injured freshman post players, they kept things largely in their guards hands and shot 53 percent to win their second game in less than 24 hours.I like my team a lot. We just have to keep getting better, and then once all these injuries are taken care of in some time, we can become a different team, coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Right now, we have to be this team and not think about who we could be. Our complete focus has got to be how to win with this team.Now, with those two tuneup games out of the way, the focus squarely falls on one of the marquee matchups of the early season: a date with No. 3 Kansas on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.Shaq Carr had 18 points to lead pesky Grand Canyon (0-1), which gave Duke more of a test than Marist did in a 94-49 rout a night earlier but came up empty in its second opener against a top-ranked team in three years.BIG PICTUREGrand Canyon: The Antelopes -- who lost to No. 1 Kentucky by 40 points in 2014 -- will have to be content with making things tough on Duke for a good chunk of the first half and leading for about 7 1/2 minutes of the first half behind Carr, who repeatedly found his way through the Blue Devils defense and to the rim.I didnt know what to expect, coach Dan Majerle said about a team missing three starters. I was happy with how we started off. ... I thought maybe the first 12, 13 minutes, we played pretty good and were going to learn about our team as we go along.Duke: The Blue Devils shortened their bench significantly, playing only seven players in the pre-garbage time portion of the game -- and the seventh, freshman Javin DeLaurier, logged only 6 minutes in all. Theyre trying to keep things working without injured freshman big men Harry Giles (knee), Marques Bolden (lower leg) and Jayson Tatum (foot). Krzyzewski says he doesnt anticipate having them against the Jayhawks and we may not have them all week.Whatever amount of time, whatever it is, lets just get well, Krzyzewski added. And while you guys are getting well and supporting the team, lets become a team with these nine guys. We made that a priority this past week. Were trying to figure out the system we need for this group of guys.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Blue Devils trailed for the first time this season but once again showed no reason why they should be ranked any lower than No. 1.THE COLANGELO CONNECTIONBoth coaches have strong ties to Jerry Colangelo. He was the Phoenix Suns owner when they drafted Majerle in 1988 and lured Thunder Dan to the Grand Canyon program in 2013.And with Colangelo as its chairman and Dukes Mike Krzyzewski as the coach, the U.S. national team won the last three Olympic gold medals.STAT WATCHThe Blue Devils were 21 of 31 from the free-throw line while Grand Canyon was 6 of 12. The Antelopes didnt attempt their first foul shot until just 1:44 remained in the first half -- by which point Duke had already attempted 17 and built a 39-28 lead.UP NEXTGrand Canyon: The Antelopes head to Penn State on Nov. 15 for their second game in the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.Duke: The Blue Devils get their first big test Nov. 15 when they face Kansas in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org Ryan Kalil Jersey .

LANDOVER, Md. -- The Cleveland Browns felt certain that Duke Johnson recovered his fumble with 9:32 left in the Browns 31-20 loss to Washington.The officials decided otherwise.So the Browns were left to grumble about three costly turnovers in the final 16 minutes that led to 14 Redskins points. Johnsons fumble did not lead to Washington points, but it was part of a momentum shift away from the Browns as they saw a 20-17 lead fade into their fourth loss in four games.Obviously, it was a huge point in the game, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. But hey, they called it. We cant let the ball out. We just cant turn it over. Its unfortunate we put the officials even in that spot. We should be holding on to the ball.The situation: Washington led 24-20, having turned a recovery of a Malcolm Johnson fumble late in the third quarter into a Kirk Cousins touchdown pass.The Browns took the kickoff and drove to their 42, where Cody Kessler handed off to Johnson. He ran left, then fumbled.The ball bounced right back to Johnson, who stood up from the pile holding the ball in the air. Officials, meanwhile, went to players in a scrum on the ground that looked like players fighting for the ball.As Johnson stood up holding the ball, officials signaled it was Washingtons ball. The video and photos and screen shots from the play painted a bizarre picture, to say the leeast.dddddddddddd.Players said that after the scrum, officials huddled up and line judge Sarah Thomas said she saw a Washington player with the ball on the ground before Johnson stood up with it. Thomas explained the ruling to Jackson.?Thus, the ball went to Washington.The play was reviewed, which is routine on turnovers. The on-field ruling was a fumble, recovered by Washington, the NFLs Michael Signora wrote in an e-mail. It was confirmed as a fumble in instant replay without the need to stop the game. As to the recovery, several different angles were looked at, but with nothing definitive shown, there was no need to stop the game because the on-field ruling that awarded possession to Washington would have stood.Theres frustration, Jackson said. But when the official tells you its already been reviewed and its their ball, theres nothing I can do. I can yell, scream or do whatever. Its not going to change the call.The Browns refused to blame the officials; in an earlier loss to Baltimore, they did not blame the officials for a questionable taunting call on Terrelle Pryor.I cannot put the team in that situation, Johnson said.I just know we cant leave the game in the officials hands, running back Isaiah Crowell said.
