IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Seton Hall no longer has star Isaiah Whitehead to lean on.The Pirates have depth and balance though -- and that was enough for them to pass their first road test of 2016-17.Myles Powell scored 26 points off the bench, Desi Rodriguez had 25 and Seton Hall beat Iowa 91-83 on Thursday night.Khadeen Carrington added 20 points for the Pirates (3-0), who shot 51 percent from the floor with eight 3s and outscored the Hawkeyes 50-24 in the paint.Our team will be much more balanced this year, said Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard after Whitehead left for the NBA.Powell buried a 3 and followed by a layup to put Seton Hall up 82-74 with 3:15 to go -- and then drilled another long 3 to make it a 10-point game a minute later. Rodriguez followed with a 3 that sent the fans to the exits.Iowa made a few late 3s to make it close before falling for the first time in 2016-17.Senior Peter Jok had 30 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double, and freshman Tyler Cook scored a career-high 24 points for the Hawkeyes (2-1).I would have liked to have seen us play better defense over the duration, especially in the second half. We tried defenses, we changed defenses; press, we went to zone. We just didnt perform to the level thats necessary, Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said.BIG PICTURESeton Hall: The Pirates should be a factor in the Big East. They started five upperclassmen who were unfazed by their first road game -- although a 9 p.m. ET tip-off time on a week night kept the crowd down a bit. Seton Hall forced Iowa to commit 17 turnovers.Iowa: Win or lose, a matchup against a tough, veteran team halfway through November was exactly what the Hawkeyes needed. McCaffery is still trying to find a rotation that can win in the Big Ten, using 11 players in the first half alone. But it looks like Jok has found a more than capable sidekick in Cook, who can seemingly do everything but knock down free throws.NOT-SO FREE THROWSCook was a mess at the free-throw line, going just 5 of 12. But neither team could covert its freebies, as Seton Hall was 17 of 31 and Iowa was 19 of 32.SMOKE SHOWIowa brought out two sets of pyrotechnics during its player introductions. The smoke lingered in the air for roughly half of the first half. But Iowas other new wrinkles, including a new court, lighting and a massive new scoreboard over center court, has vastly improved the game-day experience at Carver-Hawkeye Arena -- which had begun to show its age until recent renovations.HE SAID ITTheres not a time where he shoots the ball where I think its not going in. He plays with a lot of confidence. He plays like I think all kids should play, just having fun, Willard said of Powell.UP NEXTSeton Halls schedule doesnt let up much. The Pirates play Florida next Thursday and, if they win, likely Gonzaga on Thanksgiving.Iowa gets another cupcake in Texas-Rio Grande Valley on Sunday. But the Hawkeyes will face No. 8 Virginia next Friday in Florida.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.orgTyler Johnson Heat Jersey .

MALAGA, Spain -- Malaga hired former German player Bernd Schuster to be its coach for the next five seasons on Friday. Schuster will replace Manuel Pellegrini, who is expected to take over Manchester City for the fired Roberto Mancini. The 53-year-old Schuster has coached for various clubs after finishing a successful playing career that included stints with Spanish powerhouses Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. Malaga qualified for the Europa League next season after finishing sixth place in the Spanish league but was banned by UEFA from one season of European competition for not paying wages and taxes on time. Malaga is entering a transitional phase following its debut in the Champions League last season when it reached the quarterfinals. It has sold several players over the past year such as Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal to Arsenal, a change in direction that Pellegrini criticized.dddddddddddd Malaga said in a statement that it "entrusted (Schuster) to develop a solid, long-term project." As a manager, Schuster led Madrid to the 2008 Spanish league title in his first campaign before being fired midway through the next season. He most recently coached Turkish side Besiktas in 2011. After beginning his playing career in Germany, Schuster joined Barcelona in 1980 and helped it win one league title and three Copas del Rey. He then moved to fierce rival Madrid and won two more league titles before playing three years with Atletico. He returned to Germany for Bayer Leverkusen before finishing his career in the United States and Mexico. ' ' '
