who won their first NCAA Tournament game last season

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The renovations Tennessee started this offseason with a new general manager are making quite the impression, and the Titans proved Friday theyre nowhere near finished as players reported for training camp.Tennessee added seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson to the roster Friday as the Titans walked into their headquarters to find a swanky, revamped locker room awaiting them along with hallways redecorated in a building that originally opened in 1999. The indoor practice facility isnt scheduled to be ready until Aug. 10, but the redecorating done over the past five weeks left the Titans impressed with ownerships commitment.Linebacker Brian Orakpo cant wait to show off the mural of himself on one wall of the team meeting room to his wife and children.It exceeded all of our expectations, Orakpo said. I know we talked about it throughout OTAs and the offseason, but I mean coach and the rest of the staff and everybody else on board making these changes definitely did it big. Were definitely excited. This is something you want to come to work each and every day. This is what a winning organization looks like.Winning isnt something this franchise has done much of the past few seasons, dipping to an NFL-worst five victories combined over the past two years.Coach Mike Mularkey said he started talking to controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk about the changes needed around the facility after being promoted to interim head coach last November. Once general manager Jon Robinson was hired, Strunk approved a laundry list of improvements with the locker room and indoor practice field at the top. Even landscaping and new artwork for the walls in the hallway were included.The stadium also has had all the seats replaced with new red paint making it look as good outside as the day it opened in August 1999.The roster itself has had almost as much changeover with more than 40 percent of the Titans new to Tennessee with Johnson the 37th new player added either through free agency or the draft. Safety Rashad Johnson, who left Arizona to sign with Tennessee, said all the changes amps up the excitement the Titans already felt about training camp starting.When you come in and see ownership and the leadership of this organization invests in the building and also invests in us when they do that it just changes the atmosphere, Johnson said. Theres a great energy in the building today. It feels like a refreshness coming back from this time off and the guys are just really excited. ... Its a great thing.Marcus Mariota arrived in Nashville a few days before training camp opened and worked with some of his wide receivers to hone their timing after the break. He said the Titans cant become complacent with the new surroundings.We cant just let the new facilities be it, Mariota said. Weve got to use that to the best of our abilities and establish some type of confidence going into the year.The latest addition is Johnson, the 13-year veteran who ranks eighth in NFL history with 1,053 catches and ninth with 14,100 yards receiving and 68 touchdowns. The third pick overall in 2003 spent his first 12 seasons with the Titans AFC South rival, the Houston Texans, where he is the franchises all-time leading receiver. He played last season with Indianapolis, where he caught 41 passes for 503 yards and four touchdowns.Mularkey said Johnson is in great shape and has only been promised he will compete for a starting job -- the same promise made to all of the Titans as training camp opens. Johnson would have led Tennessee receivers with his receptions last season, and will be a big boost for young receivers like Dorial Green-Beckham and Justin Hunter. Johnson was flying into Nashville on Friday night and should be on the field for the first practice Saturday.He thinks he can still play at a high level, Mularkey said of Johnson. Were going to give him an opportunity to compete.Game notes Mularkey said rookie OLB Kevin Dodd, the 33rd pick overall in the draft, will start camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list. Dodd had preventative surgery in late May on his right foot, and Mularkey said Dodd could be cleared soon.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia fans looking for assurances that they could still have high expectations despite the dismissal from the team of expected offensive stalwart Austin Nichols got plenty to feel good about Sunday in the No. 8 Cavaliers 62-38 victory against Yale.Marial Shayok scored 15 points, freshman Kyle Guy had 12 and Darius Thompson 11 in a balanced offensive display that complemented a Virginia staple: defense. The Cavaliers (3-0) held Yale scoreless for a stretch of nearly nine minutes in the second half, making it look easy.To be able to have them coming off the bench for us is huge, senior London Perrantes said of Shayok and Guy, who scored all but two points in a 16-0 run that turned a 37-33 lead into a runaway.Guy, former Mr. Basketball in Indiana, scored eight in the blitz, hitting a pair of catch-and-shoot 3-pointers that drew roars.It was surreal when the crowd erupted after we hit a shot or got a stop, he said.Blake Reynolds led Yale (2-1) with 10 points. The Bulldogs arrived averaging 93.5 points, had an early 8-0 burst and then never found any rhythm again. They made only 16 of 48 field goal tries (33 percent).Virginia had a lot to do with that. The Cavaliers had scoring runs of 22-0 in their opener against UNCG and 20-0 against St. Francis Brooklyn, and nearly matched that after Shayok scored off a feed from Perrantes to make it 39-33 and start the run with 15 minutes left.And while pulling away on offense, they never lost sight of their need to attend to the defensive side.They did a great job limited opportunities tonight, Bulldogs coach James Jones said.BIG PICTUREYale: The Bulldogs, who won their first NCAA Tournament game last season, will win plenty because they can score. They arrived at John Paul Jones Arena with five players averaging 12 points or better, including Downey (19.5 after averaging 5.7 last year) and Copeland (17 after averaging 2.3 last year). They also had 41 assistss and just 17 turnovers coming in, but finished with 14 miscues and seven assists.ddddddddddddAveraging 94 points a game, thats not us, Jones said.Virginia: The Cavaliers were somewhat stagnant early on offensively, which probably was to be expected after Nichols was kicked off the team on Friday for an unspecified violation of team rules . Nichols was with the team all last season as a transfer and much of the offense was expected to be inside-out. The adjustment may take several games, making a game against Iowa on Friday night loom as a stiffer test.That was something we thought we had, and now we dont, Bennett said of Nichols offense. We just have to adjust.WHERED THEY GO?Downey finished with just four points on 2-for-10 shooting, and Miye Oni, averaging 18.5 coming in, had three on 1-for-8 shooting.BLOCK PARTYRedshirt freshman is another Cavaliers player that will look to pick up the slack left by Nichols absence, and he is already becoming a fan favorite for his shot-blocking ability and incredible athleticism, which Perrantes compared to former Virginia star Justin Anderson, now making highlight reel plays for the NBAs Dallas Mavericks. Diakite had four blocks against the Bulldogs, giving him five in two games.STRUGGLING HALLDevon Hall has started all three games for Virginia as an off-guard, and off also has described his shot thus far.Through three games, hes just 3-for-14 from the field, including 1-for-6 from 3-point territory.UP NEXTThe Bulldogs stay on the road, and against ACC competition, as they play at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.The Cavaliers face Grambling State in the second round of the Emerald Coast Classic before moving to Florida for Round 3 against Iowa.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr ' ' '
