CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- JaQuan Newton shook off his first half shooting woes and helped lead Miami to another early-season win.Newton scored 16 of his game-high 18 points in the second half as the Hurricanes defeated Penn, 74-62, on Saturday afternoon.My approach was the same way as the first half, Newton said. Unfortunately, I wasnt making any shots in the first half. I just wanted to take better shots in the second half, open shots to get me going.After shooting 1 of 8 from the field in the first half, Newton converted five of his eight attempts and five-of-six free throws in the second half.The Hurricanes (3-0) were never threatened after a 16-3 run midway through the second half. Consecutive 3-pointers from D.J. Valsijevic and Bruce Brown capped the surge and increased Miamis lead to 59-38 with 10:28 remaining in the half.That was definitely the tale of two halves, Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. In the first half we were challenging the defense rather than attacking and sharing the ball. I tried to explain to the team at halftime we werent finding the open man.Brown finished with 15 points and Davon Reed, Valsijevic and Dewan Huell scored 11 points each for the Hurricanes, who experienced their first deficit of the season when the Quakers ran off eight unanswered points for an 8-4 lead early in the game. Miami opened the season with lopsided victories over Western Carolina and North Florida.It was good for us, Larranaga said of Penns early lead. It was a good challenge -- a very different kind of team. You can see how they move on offense. They really share the ball.Playing a team like that is very different than playing the teams weve played so far and even some of the teams were going to play a little later on in the season.A.J. Brodeur scored 16 points to lead the Quakers (1-1). Caleb Wood shot 4-of-5 from the field and was Penns second double figure scorer with 11 points.I liked how we competed, particularly in the first half, Penn coach Steve Donahue said. We got very casual during that stretch with the ball that they made that big run put it up by 20. But besides that I thought we competed.STARTER SIDELINED: Miami sophomore center Ebuka Izundu sat out Saturdays game because of a sprain to his lower left extremity he suffered in Miamis victory over North Florida on Wednesday. Larranaga said he will know better on Izundus status Monday.ROOKIE CONTRIBUTIONS: Huell and Valsijevic continue to contribute offensively. The freshmen have scored in double figures in Miamis first three games.BIG PICTUREMiami: junior guard Rashad Muhammad served the final game of his three-game suspension because of a violation of team rules. Muhammad played his first two seasons at San Jose State and sat out the 2015-16 season in compliance with transfer rules.Penn: the Quakers are 65-95 all-time against ACC schools. Saturdays game was Penns first against a school from the conference since its 85-55 loss against Duke on January 1, 2012. The Quakers last victory against an ACC opponent was their 79-74 victory over Georgia Tech November 19, 2001.UP NEXTMiami: the Hurricanes will face Stanford in the first round of the AdvoCare Invitational Thanksgiving Day in Orlando.

SEATTLE -- Jose Altuve ended up just giving the Houston Astros a scare.The same cant be said of promising young third baseman Alex Bregman, who could be done for the season.Altuve was in the starting lineup on Friday night as the Astros opened a key three-game series in Seattle, two days after he left a game against Texas with discomfort in the oblique muscle on his right side. After staying behind in Houston on Thursday morning for additional examination, Altuve flew to Seattle late Thursday night and was in the lineup batting third and starting at second base.The Astros started the day four games back in the AL wild card.Anytime you say the word oblique there is a panic as to what that could mean and how grand an injury that could be, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said of Altuve. Had him tested, saw our doctors and it came back very clean, which is a piece of mind for him and a piece of mind for us that there isnt any injury that hes dealing with.The news wasnt as good for Bregman and the strained right hamstring he suffered also in Wednesdays game. Bregman did not accompany the Astros oon their six-game road trip, remaining in Houston to rehab the injury.dddddddddddd Hinch said if there werent so few games left in the season, Bregman would have been immediately placed on the 15-day disabled list. As it stands, its unlikely Bregman will be available again during the regular season.It just needs to heal. It needs to heal over time and with some of the therapies that we do, Hinch said. Time is not on our side right now.Since Aug. 6, Bregman had been on a tear, hitting .310 with 13 doubles, eight home runs and 32 RBI during that stretch.Its a loss for us on a lot of fronts. Hes a really good player, he was hitting in the two-hole, he was in the middle of a lot of things that were going right for us. Its definitely a blow for us, Hinch said.Altuve is leading the American League with a .341 batting average, with 24 home runs and 94 RBI. Altuve said he felt good and didnt have any restrictions.I just cant swing and miss, Altuve said with a laugh.
