TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Rajon Rondo Lakers Jersey . -- Florida State center Michael Ojo is making a strong early season case for the Atlantic Coast Conferences most improved player.The 7-foot-1 senior from Nigeria already has a double-double and two games, including a career-high 13 points against Winthrop on Nov. 18. Coming into the season Ojos career high in rebounds was nine and he had scored in double figures just once.Ojo is averaging 6.3 points and 5.3 rebounds for the Seminoles (6-1), who face George Washington on Sunday in the BB&T Classic in Washington, D.C. Ojos modest numbers are impressive considering he is only playing 13 minutes per game.In Ojos first three seasons he averaged 1.9 points and 2.2 rebounds.Now he needs to find a way to get more playing time.If he stays out of foul trouble and stay out there longer his numbers would be crazy. The numbers hes putting up now are crazy enough, said sophomore guard Dwayne Bacon, who is leading the team in scoring (18.1). He worked so hard during the offseason because he knew it was going to be his last year.Ojo didnt play last season after tearing the meniscus in his left knee during preseason practice. Because Ojo did not play a lot of competitive basketball before arriving at Florida State (he moved to the United States in 2012 and played one season at Tennessee Temple Academy), coach Leonard Hamilton said the time on the bench allowed Ojo to develop a better understanding of the game.After last year I thought I was going to be a coach, Ojo said laughing. It was helpful being able to see from the coaches eyes because you can see the floor well from the bench. Every day I was watching films just like they do. Now anytime someone makes a mistake or there is a lapse I am able to help out.Ojos other big improvement has come at the free throw line. He is making 71.4 percent of his foul shots after converting just 40.2 percent from 2013-15. Ojo has been to the line 28 times already. The most he has been to the line is 47 in 2013-14.Because Ojo couldnt practice jump shots as much while rehabbing, the one thing he could do on the court was free throws.I shoot a very good percentage in practice but was never able to take it to a game, he said. Ive been focusing more in games. I would do more running and sprints before shooting in practice so that during games when I am tired it is more muscle memory.Ojo has been getting to the line more because he has been more aggressive in the paint and drawing fouls. Hamilton said Ojo has done a better job of catching the ball in the post which has resulted in better drives near the basket.With Hamilton still trying to figure out his best playing combinations before the start of conference play on Dec. 28, Ojo and the post players have made the most of their opportunities when asked to deliver.As the Seminoles begin a stretch of four games in eight days, those opportunities could increase.Hes letting the game come to him and is much more assured of himself. I think you see that in how well he is playing, said Hamilton of Ojo.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy Wilt Chamberlain Lakers Jersey .

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has accused Eddie Jones of tarnishing his legacy with his constant sniping about Australia in the media.Jones has lit the blue touch paper for Saturdays clash at Twickenham by issuing concerns over Australias pack and saying hell request a meeting with referee Jaco Peyper to address the Wallabies scrummaging techniques.Cheika, whose side missed out on winning the grand slam for the first time in 32 years in Dublin against Ireland on Saturday, is expecting more mind games from Jones this week in the build-up to the Test.During the three-match series in June when England won 3-0 in Australia, Jones was constantly using his press conferences to make statements about Cheikas side, something that disappointed his former Randwick teammate.In June, maybe I gave him the opportunity to be like the goalscorer who scores against his old team, Cheika said.Its always difficult when you go back into a tournament against teams you have coached before and you dont know how to play it.Do you go reserved or get stuck into them? I knnow what I do. Rajon Rondo Jersey. Even in a country like Ireland where I coached for many years. But that is the choice he wants to make and thinks that is the best for his team.There was a lot a vitriol about Australia his home nation where he coached and opportunities were given to him to grow up as a coach and play.Personally, if you want to leave a legacy somewhere you dont hit back at it do you when you leave.Cheika is yet to hear back from IRB referees chief Alain Rolland and said he doesnt expect to after he called for a hearing with the Irishman after his side were pinged 13-3 in the penalty count against Ireland.Ive got nothing from him. Youll have to ring him and ask him where its at, Cheika said.I made my calls the other night, the ball is in their court now.If they do want to get back to us, I dont know. Well just see what happens.Ive got to think more about this weekend than what happened last weekend right now. ' ' '
