    Andrew Goudelock scored 21 points, and Kenneth Faried had 17 points and 18 rebounds to lead the West team to a 113-108 win over the East in the Reese's college all-star game on Friday afternoon.

    Morehead State's Faried wowed the crowd with his rim-rattling dunks but also got a few giggles when he missed a one-hander. Faried, the all-time Division I rebounder in the modern era, dominated the boards to help the West rally from a 13-point second-half deficit.

    The 6-foot-8, 228-pound Faried, who is considered an NBA prospect, helped tiny Morehead State knock off Louisville 62-61 in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

    Faried, who was fighting through a stomach bug, loves rebounding.
