Captain Joel Selwood has called the work Geelong put into Hawthorns Sam Mitchell an attempt to influence the AFL star.One of the features of the Cats epic qualifying final win over Hawthorn on Friday night was a series of furious physical clashes, with key players such as Selwood and Mitchell frequently involved.At one stage, Selwood and his brother Scott went toe-to-toe with Mitchell in a push and shove.Scott Selwood was recalled specifically to tag the influential Hawthorn utility and it was an eventful duel.We obviously want to influence the players that we think set them up really quite well and Sam is one of those, the Geelong captain said.We have much respect for him.We sat Scott on him for fair periods of the game and then in other parts we let him run free.Asked about the Selwood brothers v Mitchell scrap, the Cats captain said it was not planned.Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge played most of the game with his head bandaged, typifying the games aggression.The match review panel will also probably look at a first-half clash between the Cats captain and Hawks onballer Jordan Lewis.I heard it after the game but Im not sure what the incident was, Selwood said.I dont know that he has too much to worry about.Selwood added the overriding emotion after the game was relief and he said the Cats got out of jail with the two-point win.It was the most-watched game on free-to-air TV since last years grand final.Cats key forward Tom Hawkins called it one of the best games he had played in and Selwood said they were thankful to reach the preliminary final.Selwood also had sympathy for Hawthorn onballer Isaac Smith, whose shot at goal after the siren went through for a point.The Cats captain said immediately after the ball left Smiths boot, he thought it was a goal and they would have to play the semi-final next weekend against the Western Bulldogs.Hes a very good kick and I actually watched it from in front of him, Selwood said.It came off his boot really well but it just faded away.I did think it was going in.Im sure hed put his hand up to take that kick again one day.The Cats were 17 points behind in the third term and Selwood said they had plenty of room for improvement.We didnt picture the game like it was last night - we probably moved the ball a bit quick at times and allowed them to use the ball, use the game style they wanted, he said.It was a game of inches in the end.Theyre a good footy side and theyre going to hold momentum for a long time.For us, it was just about hanging on and then when we got our opportunities, just to take (them).

The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. DURHAM, N.C. -- Grayson Allens foot is feeling a little better -- and so is his shot.Allen scored 17 points to help No. 6 Duke beat William & Mary 88-67 on Wednesday night.Allen injured his right foot in last weeks loss to No. 5 Kansas, and coach Mike Krzyzewski said his star guards health is improving but hes not there yet.Not coincidentally, Allen was just 2 of 18 from 3-point range during his last three games -- the Kansas loss, and wins over Penn State and Rhode Island. He missed five of his first six long-range attempts against the Tribe before making his last two to finish 3 of 8.Its about time I made some shots, Allen said. It felt better to see the ball go in the net. The confidence in my shooting never left me. I just had to make them, and finally tonight I was able to make a few.Freshman Frank Jackson scored 19 points to help the Blue Devils (5-1) win their third straight since the Kansas loss. Duke shot 50 percent and outrebounded the Tribe 39-25.Amile Jefferson finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, Luke Kennard had 11 points and Matt Jones scored 10 points. Duke has had five double-figure scorers in every game this season.Jack Whitman and Daniel Dixon scored 13 points each for William & Mary (2-2), which hasnt beaten a ranked team since 1977 and has never beaten one on the road.The Tribe hung around this one until the second half, but Duke shot 52 percent after the break and pushed its lead well into the 20s with an 18-7 run midway through the half sparked by two 3s by Jackson.BIG PICTUREWilliam & Mary: All the Tribe have proven so far is that they are not one of the nations Top 10 teams. No shame in losing either to Duke or to No. 10 Louisville, as they have done in the past nine days, and they made Duke work much harder than the Cardinals did when they beat them by 33.Weve played two teams we were better than, and should have won, and played two teams ... in Louisville and Duke, Top 10 teams in the country that would have taaken great performances for us to win, coach Tony Shaver said.ddddddddddddDuke: This felt like business as usual for this group of Blue Devils, who can always seem to count on a big run to blow past an overmatched nonconference visitor. They used essentially a six-man rotation during the pre-garbage time portion of the game while cruising to their 128th straight non-ACC win at Cameron Indoor Stadium.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Blue Devils figure to move up a spot next week and return to the top five -- thanks to IPFWs upset of No. 3 Indiana a night earlier -- and they gave no indication against the Tribe that they deserve any ranking lower than that.INJURY REPORTDukes three injured freshmen -- Harry Giles, Marques Bolden and Jayson Tatum -- seem to be getting closer to playing. They have still yet to check into a game, but for the first time they were in uniform, and Giles and Bolden even took part in warmups. Those three were a big reason why the Blue Devils were picked No. 1 in the preseason.In the transition from serious injury, its not just physical, its mental, psychological, Krzyzewski said. I just think, to put on your uniform, to do warmups as much as you can, to be more a part of a team is something, we want to transition to that. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just dont know how long the tunnel is. Days like today help.STAT LINEKennard finished two rebounds and four assists shy of Dukes first triple-double in 10 years. Shelden Williams was the last to do it against Maryland in 2006.UP NEXTWilliam & Mary: The Tribe return home to play host to Liberty on Saturday.Duke: The Blue Devils play host to Appalachian State on Saturday before welcoming in No. 24 Michigan State next week for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
