Scottie Scheffler fires 63, repeats at Hero World ChallengeColorado basketball fans have watched RJ Smith shoot his way into the starting lineup. Yet as is typically the case under head coach Tad Boyle, it’s Smith’s defense that will keep him there. Following a four-day holiday break, the Buffaloes resumed practice on Thursday ahead of their Big 12 Conference opener against No. 3 Iowa State on Monday (7 p.m., CBS Sports Network). Smith has been one of the pleasant surprises for the Buffs through nonconference play, lighting it up from 3-point range. After redshirting as a true freshman two years ago, Smith played just seven games last year before blood clots in his leg ended his season prematurely. So far this year, the gradual addition of playing experience is turning Smith’s potential into production. “I think he’s starting to understand what his job is,” Boyle said. “(Against South Dakota State) we got caught in a rotation and he was in the rotation. He saw it, he recognized it, he just wasn’t quite there quick enough. So he’s coming. He’s coming as a defender. Taking on individual challenges is one thing. But you have to be a great team defender. If you’re not a great individual defender, at least be a great team defender. If we can have a bunch of great team defenders and two or three great individual defenders, now we’ve got a chance. And RJ can be one of those. “He’s (18) games into his college career. He’s coming at a high rate. He’s shooting the ball obviously very well. In practice he’s playing well. We’re expecting really good things. RJ’s playing himself into a really, really important role with this team, without a doubt.” Going into the rematch against an Iowa State team that rolled the Buffs by 28 points at the Maui Invitational last month, Smith has been both steady and efficient offensively. After going 3-for-4 on 3-pointers in a win against Bellarmine last week in the nonconference finale, Smith pushed his season 3-point percentage to a lofty .606 (20-for-33). Since joining the starting lineup the past three games, Smith has gone 10-for-14 (.714) on 3-pointers. At 6-foot-3 and a sturdy 190 points, Smith also can be a force defensively — quick enough to match up against smaller point guards but also strong enough to check bigger shooting guards. Steals aren’t necessarily a reliable marking point for defensive prowess, but Smith has recorded two steals in each of the past two games after recording only six in the first 16 games of his career. Smith also owns a solid assist-to-turnover rate of 1.69 (27 assists, 16 turnovers) and recently has shown encouraging signs on the glass, averaging 4.4 rebounds in the past five games after grabbing just nine total rebounds through the season’s first six games. Yet with less than two-thirds of a season’s worth of playing experience still to his credit, Smith remains a work in progress. His 3-point prowess is certain to draw the attention of Big 12 defenses, and Smith will have to show he is equally capable of attacking that basket after putting up just seven free throw attempts through CU’s 9-2 start. Like several of his teammates who are thin on Division I experience, Smith still will have to prove it in Big 12 play. Given his steady production since the season tipped off, it’s a challenge Smith is embracing. “My shot’s been feeling good as of late,” Smith said. “It’s just repetition. I shoot every day, and it’s just taking that and carrying it over to the game. It’s really nothing different from practice to the games. It’s just being confident and knocking down shots.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it. As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a , not a random one. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. Wednesday as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by . The fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any and found his backpack there Friday. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of the backpack, or on the results of the search in the pond, saying no updates were planned. Investigators have urged patience, saying the process of logging evidence that stands up in court isn’t as quick as it . Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. Investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment at the hostel in which he briefly showed his face. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven’t been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. Michael R. Sisak And Cedar Attanasio, The Associated PressSee Patriots take on Chargers Saturday afternoon on WMUR-TV
