LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Deonte Burton launched soft, feathery jumpers from the perimeter and was just as effective muscling his way to the basket when he found that more to his and No. 21 Iowa States advantage.The Cyclones burly 6-foot-5 forward is tough to defend wherever he is on the court. Just ask the Miami Hurricanes.We dont have anybody as big and strong as he is. Hes 250. Most of our guys are like 200, 220, Miami coach Jim Larranaga said after Burton scored 21 points and Iowa State used a 17-2 second-half run to pull away to a 73-56 victory in the AdvoCare Invitational at Disney World on Friday.Burton, the 2016 Big 12 newcomer of the year, made eight of 16, including both of his 3-pointers, to bounce back from what he felt was a subpar performance in the Cyclones tournament-opening victory over Indiana State. He also finished with a team-leading seven rebounds.I had a good game because of my teammates. Yesterday I didnt play too well, but they stuck by me, Burton said. They told me I would do better. They instilled belief in me, and it showed.Iowa State (5-0) advanced to Sundays championship game, also playing much better than Thursday , when the Cyclones shot 34.2 percent against Indiana State -- their lowest field-goal percentage in a win since 2007.Matt Thomas had 12 points and Nazareth Mitrou-Long added 10 for the Cyclones.Im really proud of our guys, the resiliency and leadership, the character of our seniors, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. (Thursday) was a tough game. I read a lot, you hear what everybody says. I like when people doubt us. Its good. It keeps you more focused. It keeps you humble. But the thing that I was most proud of was the thing people question about us, our toughness and our defense. I think that won the game for us today.Darrell Bowie hit an awkward layup as he tumbled to the floor and also hit a short jumper during a 17-2 run the Cyclones put together over an 8-minute stretch of the second half.I thought Iowa State was very sharp. If you look at their stats from (Thursday), they didnt make a free throw. Today, they didnt miss, so every day is a little different, Larranaga said. Today, we just couldnt make a shot. Some of it had to do with their defense, but we were uncharacteristically in a hurry. We had 19 turnovers. We dont normally do that, and a lot of the turnovers were unforced.JaQuan Newton led Miami with 21 points. Backcourt mate Davon Reed added 13 for the Hurricanes, who shot 36 percent from the field, including going just 2 of 16 on 3-point attempts.Burton hit a jumper, Donovan Jackson buried a 3-pointer and Monte Morris hit two free throws to finish the surge that broke the game open.

South Africans 205 for 4 (Amla 81*, Coleman 2-26) drew against Victoria XI 258 (Gotch 53, Shamsi 4-72)Scorecard Chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi put himself in contention for a Test debut with a four-wicket haul in the pink-ball warm-up match at the MCG. Although expensive, Shamsi proved difficult to pick and profited more than any of the other South African bowlers to set up an intriguing selection question for the final Test.The day-night game could see South Africa make some changes to their attack especially considering Vernon Philander was rested from the warm-up fixture as a precaution. Philander hurt his shoulder during an on-field collision with Australian captain Steve Smith in the Hobart Test. Should Philanders niggle not clear, they might have to look for a third-prong in the pace pack to accompany Kagiso Rabada and Kyle Abbott, who both delivered strong opening spells.Rabadas four-over burst brought three wickets, including Rob Quineys. The left-hander scored nine, exactly the same number of runs he made against South Africa in the only Test he has played, in 2012. Abbott was economical and found some nip, but more eyes were on Morne Morkel, the only quick to deliver more than one spell.Concerns over match fitness had kept Morkel out of the first two Tests and he sought to allay those with six-overs initially and three more later on. He sent down some testing short balls with no reward. Reserve bowler Dwaine Pretorius delivered six impressive overs - he pitched the ball up and managed to nip it around a touch - but it seems unlikely he will be promoted into the Test XI.The real debbate will be over Shamsi and left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who hasnt done much wrong in the two matches he has played.dddddddddddd Both were expensive in this game, but Shamsi made more of an impact. He bowled Sam Harper and Blake Thompson and his variations proved tough for the Victoria batsmen to read as they folded up for 258. Seb Gotch (53), Matthew Short (52) and Evan Gulbis (53) scored half-centuries.South Africa opted to bat under lights but before they could take full effect, their struggling opener Stephen Cook had been dismissed. Not for the first time on this tour, Cook was found wanting with his footwork and faced 18 balls before he was trapped lbw on the backfoot for 11. His opening partner Dean Elgar found the going much easier and retired on 40 to give the middle-order time at the crease.Runs were secondary to South Africas intention to spend time in the middle and Hashim Amla made the most of it. He batted from the eighth over to the end of the innings and scored 81, after being dropped on 17 at first slip.Amla became more assured as the innings went on and seemed to want to get his eye in, having only contributing 48 runs on the tour so far. He had Temba Bavuma (33*) for company after JP Duminy (17) and Faf du Plessis (12) were both dismissed cheaply. Duminy was caught at slip while du Plessis fell to a half-hearted pull shot. Bavuma batted through the twilight period with characteristic caution. Quinton de Kock opted not to play the game at all. ' ' '
