WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest has its longest winning streak under third-year coach Dave Clawson. Now the surprising Demon Deacons want more.They will have their best start since 2008 if they beat Delaware of the Championship Subdivision on Saturday night.Wake Forest (2-0) started with victories over Tulane and Duke for their first consecutive wins since 2013, the year before Clawson arrived to replace Jim Grobe. Beating the Fightin Blue Hens (2-0) would give them their first 3-0 start since 2008 , and their longest winning streak since the 2011 group won four in a row.I told the players if they like that feeling the locker room after the (Duke) game, they have to be willing to make the same investment every week. So far this week they have, Clawson said. They havent felt it a whole lot around here lately, and they want to feel it again.Both of Clawsons teams at Wake Forest have taken care of their FCS opponents, beating Gardner-Webb and Elon by a combined 64-10. But Clawson -- a former Richmond coach who routinely went up against Delaware during CAA play -- is wary of the Hens, who he says were more competitive last year against North Carolina than the 41-14 final score would indicate.I think (this game) comes at a great time for us, coach Dave Brock said. It gives us an opportunity to travel down there ... and see how we stack up, how we match up.---Some things to know about the Delaware-Wake Forest game:- KENDALLS TIME: Sophomore Kendall Hinton will make his second career start at quarterback after leading all four scoring drives in the 24-14 victory over Duke. Hinton and John Wolford had split time during the first two games before Hinton took over for good midway through the second quarter. Hinton brings more mobility to the position but is capable of throwing, too, passing for 133 yards against Duke .- CARNEY-VAL: Wake Forest RB Cade Carney is coming off one of the best games in school history by a freshman. He rushed for 108 yards with three touchdowns , becoming the first Demon Deacons freshman with that many TDs in a game since Chris Barclay also had three against Purdue in 2002. Hes also the first freshman to rush for 100 yards in a game since Josh Harris and Deandre Martin against Army in 2012.- DUKE IS DUKE: Keep an eye on DL Duke Ejiofor, who single-handedly disrupted the Blue Devils offense last week. His 3+ sacks on the season rank second in the ACC, and he had career bests with seven tackles, three sacks and four tackles for losses against Duke.- FAST-STARTING HENS: Delaware is off to a 2-0 start for the third time in five years, after beating Delaware State and Lafayette by a combined 80-20, and is trying to start with three straight wins for the first time since 2012.

Cheap Adidas Shoes Canada . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.Andrew Bogut grew up in a richly diverse area of Melbourne, Australia, and has estimated that he went to school with people from nearly 100 different nationalities.He has fondly referred to his home as a tolerant and inclusive community, one largely devoid of racial tension that many of his NBA teammates faced growing up in the United States. But Bogut and other international players have been on the periphery, if not part of, discussions in locker rooms as their teammates address social issues like police brutality and racial profiling, concerns that prompted Colin Kaepernick to begin kneeling during the nation anthem in September.When Bogut reported to training camp with the Dallas Mavericks and the subject of anthem protests started to surface, he said he couldnt really identify with the plight of some of his African-American teammates who were considering joining the San Francisco 49ers quarterback and others in the demonstrations.I think its a country that prides itself on free speech, Bogut said of the U.S. And if ... they want to do that its more than their right. On a personal level, I know theres a lot of history here that goes centuries back that I dont really relate to too much growing up in Australia.Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic, who is from Slovenia, doesnt fully grasp it either.Its kind of hard for me to understand, since Im coming from a different country, Dragic said. But if those things were happening in my country, of course I would have something to say -- while being true to the country, because thats where I grew up and they gave me everything.Officials in teams front offices and at league headquarters have had ongoing discussions with the players union about what do. Both sides appear to be more focused on developing programs to address social injustices rather than demonstrations like Kaepernicks public displays during the anthem.But that doesnt mean there wont be protests as the league tips off its latest season on Tuesday night. The NBA has long embraced a reputation for being the most socially conscious league in the United States, but there is a rule in the collective bargaining agreement that requires players to stand respectfully for the anthem.Many of the roughly 22 percent of the leagues players who come from outside the U.S. are white Europeans or Australians and do not have the same perspectives that their African-American teammates had growing up here even though racial inequality is a problem that exists throughout the world.Dragic had conversations with several of his black teammates before the Heat decided to lock arms during the anthem in the preseason in a show of unity. It is sensitive, complex ground to navigate and requires a deep understanding of the issues before teammates feel comfortable enough to put themselves out there.I understand that were putting a message out there for society to be better, Dragic said. But at the same time, we dont disrespect the flag or the national anthem and I think thats good.dddddddddddd We dont want to be too aggressive but at the same time we want to let people know that something wrong is happening out there and we want to correct those things.LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade got things started with a call for action at the ESPY awards in July, and Anthony organized a town hall forum later that month. There have been many other efforts, including the Chicago Bulls hosting their second annual basketball tournament geared toward creating dialogue between the police and the community and new Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale helping revive the citys Police Athletic League, which helps mentor law enforcement on how to become coaches in youth leagues.Ive thought a lot about this, and (NBPA executive director) Michele Roberts and I have talked a lot about these issues, that there may be no organization in our society better positioned than the NBA and its players to try to have an impact on these difficult issues plaguing many of our cities, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said last week.It isnt just foreign players and African-Americans in the NBA who are engaging.For me, I cant personally understand what some other players go through, said Minnesota Timberwolves center Cole Aldrich, who grew up in the predominantly white Minneapolis suburb of Bloomington. I grew up differently than (Serbian Nemanja Bjelica) or (African-American) Karl-Anthony Towns or whoever. I personally love ... trying to broaden my (horizons) on that.Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia, a Turkish citizen born in Georgia, said he has spoken to his new teammates about the current climate.Draymond (Green) said it the best. We can show as much about this as we want but question is, what is going to be done to fix the problem and fix the issues? Pachulia said. Thats the message already sent by individuals and by groups. Now what? Whatever we do, we do as a team.Several foreign players remain conflicted. Many left their native countries and have found great success and wealth in the NBA. But they also understand that the path some of their teammates took to get to the same place came with difficulties -- and still deal with issues -- that they could never imagine.I understand from an African-Americans point of view or a teammates point of view if they didnt want to stand and be part of that kind of protest, Bogut said. But at the same time, Im thankful Americas provided a lot for myself and my family. Its a tough one. Im very supportive of my teammates. But at the same time, the country, much like Australia, is built on free speech. Everybody has an opinion on different types of things.---AP Basketball Writers Tim Reynolds in Miami and Brian Mahoney in New York and AP Sports Writers Schuyler Dixon in Dallas and Janie McCauley in Oakland, California, contributed to this story.
