DETROIT -- Brandon Barnes stood in centre field and felt the wind blowing out a bit -- an ominous sign when Miguel Cabrera is at the plate with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning. Steve Atwater Jersey . Sure enough, Cabrera lifted a deep flyball to right-centre, forcing Barnes to race over with the game on the line. "I just knew if he hit it out there, Id have to get a good bead on it," Barnes said. "Just try to get under it and not stop until the catch was made." Barnes caught Cabreras drive against the wall for the final out, and the Houston Astros avoided a season sweep against the Detroit Tigers with a 7-5 victory Wednesday. Carlos Corporan hit a tiebreaking double in the top of the ninth for the Astros, who lost their first six meetings with the Tigers by a combined 50-12. Houston barely held on in this one after scoring two runs in the ninth to take the lead. Jose Veras pitched the ninth for his fifth save in seven chances, but he walked two, and when he hit Torii Hunter with an 0-2 pitch, the bases were loaded with two out and Cabrera coming up. The Triple Crown winner came a few feet from a grand slam, but Barnes -- who entered as a pinch-runner in the top of the inning and stayed in to play centre -- had enough room to run it down and make the catch while jumping back a bit into the out-of-town scoreboard. The previous night, Detroits Andy Dirks hit a double to almost that same spot. Houston right-hander Lucas Harrell expressed frustration that the ball wasnt caught, and manager Bo Porter met with Harrell before Wednesdays game to discuss the teams philosophy on defensive shifts. Barnes said he was playing a bit deep for Cabrera, but wasnt too far to either side. "I was pretty straight up," Barnes said. "I mean, he can hit the ball anywhere." Corporan and J.D. Martinez homered for Houston, and Avisail Garcia went deep for the Tigers. Detroits Al Alburquerque (0-1) walked Martinez starting the ninth, and manager Jim Leyland pulled him. "Its depressing," Leyland said. "If I had seen any signs that he was going to throw the ball over the plate, I would have left him in. I didnt really want (Phil) Coke against a switch-hitter." Coke, a left-hander, came on and allowed Corporans double to the gap in left-centre. Matt Dominguez added a sacrifice fly. Alburquerque has struck out 26 in 14 1-3 innings this year, but hes also walked 13 and thrown six wild pitches. "Maybe not getting enough work -- I dont know the answer," Leyland said. "Hes struggling with his control." Hector Ambriz (1-2) got the win as Houston stopped a six-game losing streak. "Sometimes we pitch good but we dont hit. Sometimes we hit but we dont pitch good. Sometimes we put it together like today," Corporan said. "Weve been scoring some runs. It takes things like this to turn around some things." The Astros are without standout second baseman Jose Altuve, on the bereavement list following the death of his grandmother. The 21-year-old Garcia, playing centre field because of Austin Jacksons hamstring injury, hit his first major league homer in the second, a three-run shot to left-centre that gave the Tigers a 4-1 lead. Detroit starter Max Scherzer couldnt hold it. He allowed a double to Jake Elmore to start the fourth, then balked him to third. Carlos Pena hit a run-scoring single, and after a walk to Chris Carter, Martinez hit his third homer of the year, a no-doubter to left-centre that landed near Willie Hortons retired No. 23 on the brick facade well behind the visiting bullpen at Comerica Park. The three-run shot put the Astros ahead 5-4. Scherzer allowed five runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked three. Houston starter Dallas Keuchel allowed five runs -- four earned -- and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. Detroit tied it at 5 with an unearned run in the sixth. With two out, shortstop Marwin Gonzalez misplayed Victor Martinezs grounder for an error. Jhonny Peralta followed with a single, and Matt Tuiasosopo tied it with a single. Corporan opened the scoring with a second-inning solo homer. The Tigers tied it in the bottom of the inning on an RBI single by Brayan Pena, and Garcia followed with his home run. NOTES: Keuchel and Detroit reliever Drew Smyly were roommates while playing college baseball at Arkansas. ... The Astros have Thursday off. Detroit sends ace Justin Verlander (4-3) to the mound at Texas in a terrific pitching matchup against Yu Darvish (6-1) of the Rangers. Jake Butt Jersey .

DALLAS -- A woman who alleges Baylor University ignored her when she reported being raped by a former football player wants ex-coach Art Briles to be added as a defendant to the federal lawsuit, according to a court filing Wednesday.The complaint filed in March by Jasmin Hernandez named Briles, ex-athletic director Ian McCaw and university regents as defendants. Briles lawyers argued last month that the men could not be sued in their official role under the Title IX federal gender discrimination law. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman determined it was essentially redundant to sue the men in addition to the university, and allowed Briles and McCaw to be removed from the suit.Hernandezs lawyers filed an amended complaint Wednesday that cites state negligence laws as the reason for including them as defendants in their individual capacities.Were not asserting any Title IX claim against Briles or McCaw, just against Baylor, attorney Susan Hutchison said. Hernandez is seeking a jury trial.Hernandez, a former Baylor student now living in California, contends the school knew former player Tevin Elliott had a history of assaults, failed to protect her and others and ignored her pleas when she sought help after her assault in 2012. Elliott was convicted of raping Hernandez and sentenced to 20 years in prison.The Associated Press generally doesnt identify sexual assault victims, but Hernandez has spoken publicly to draw attention to the case.Wednesdays amended complaint alleges that Briles and McCaw were aware of assault allegations against Elliott and had a duty to take reasonable protective measures to protect Hernandez and others. Justin Simmons Jersey. Briles attorney, Kenneth Tekell Sr., said he will file a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed.She does not have the law and facts to support any case, he said Wednesday, declining to elaborate.Pitman earlier denied the universitys request to temporarily halt evidence gathering while considering the schools request to dismiss the case, allowing Hernandezs attorneys to interview witnesses and collect documents.Hutchison said Baylors former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford, will provide a deposition Nov. 3. Crawford resigned earlier this month and said publicly that top campus leaders undermined her efforts to investigate sexual assault claims and were more concerned with protecting the Baylor brand than the students.As Title IX coordinator, Crawford was charged with enforcing federal standards meant to prevent discrimination based on gender.Baylor fired Briles in May and McCaw resigned after a school-funded investigation found the Baptist school had mishandled allegations of sexual assault, including claims made against football players. Former President and Chancellor Ken Starr also was forced out.The Pepper Hamilton law firm concluded the football program acted as it was above the rules when dealing with assault claims and rules violations.

Vapormax Blanche Pas Cher .The host nation are huge favourites to take the gold medal at this summers Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and feature other big names such as Manchester Citys new ￡27 million signing Gabriel Jesus and Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Marquinhos, but Rogerio Micales side were unable to find a goal even after Mothobi Mvalas sending-off early in the second half.Speaking to Globoesporte after the game in Brasilia, Neymar admitted that nerves had played a part in the poor showing by his side, but said he was confident they would do better in Sundays second Group A game against Iraq.The first game is always the most difficult, for the nerves you have before you begin to play, he said. For us, the draw is like a defeat. We have to win, we know our responsibility. We will stay calm and get back to work again as soon as possible so that we play well on Sunday.Brazil come into the tournament under huge pressure, especially after the disappointment of the 2014 World Cup, when the hosts were embarrassed 7-1 by Germany in the semifinals.Neymar pointed out that no Brazil team has won an Olympic title, even with emerging stars including Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Bebeto and Ronaldinho each taking part in at least one tournament.I dont know how many great Brazilians have played in the Olympics and not been able to win it, he said. We know this is not easy, we cannot just show up and take home the gold medal. We must play our football. We found it more difficult [tonight], and we must learn to overcome this.Against South Africa on Thursday, Jesus had an excellent chance to score midway through the second half, but hit the post from just 3 yards out. He told Globoesporte he said he was embarrassed at having missed such a simple chance and would find it hard to forget the moment.I had to score that goal, he said. I could not miss it.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- For a moment during the third quarter, the Oklahoma State Cowboys more resembled a rugby club than an American college football team.Mason Rudolph threw for 220 yards and one touchdown, Jalen McCleskey caught six passes for 129 yards, Justice Hill ran for 162 yards and Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) extinguished Kansas homecoming excitement, winning 44-20.The rugby act came after Kansas Montell Cozart tossed a deep pass, intended for wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez, but the ball ricocheted up and Oklahoma State free safety Jordan Sterns brought it down. Sterns scrambled up the field for 21 yards and then lateraled the ball to defensive tackle Vincent Taylor.Weve become the lateral kings, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.And the play wasnt over.Taylor ran for 14 yards before lateraling to defensive end Jarrell Owens. Owens ran for another 29 yards before being brought down by Gonzalez at the Kansas 16.Gundy didnt know how many laterals were thrown during that play, but he knew more than one was enough.I was OK with one, Gundy said. ...

I vote for one lateral and then tuck it away and get what you can get.Oklahoma State chipped in a 25-yard field goal a few plays after the chaos.With less than four minutes remaining in the third quarter, Kansas (1-6, 0-4) Cozart was pressed on third-and-7 deep in Jayhawk territory and threw an interception straight into the hands of Oklahoma State defensive tackle DeQuinton Osborne. Osborne, standing at 6-foot and weighing 310 pounds, ran down to Kansas sideline to the 1-yard line.Cozart said he, as a film junkie, hadnt seen where Oklahoma State has their nose guard drop back in coverage.They got us on that one.

                                      PITTSBURGH --?Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger absolutely expects Andrew Luck to take the field for the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, but he cautions the star quarterback to be smart while in concussion protocol. Cheap Jaguars Jerseys Authentic .Roethlisberger is drawing from experience after 12-plus years in the league and multiple concussion-related issues.The brain is nothing to mess with, Roethlisberger told Indianapolis reporters on a conference call. He is young and has a long career ahead of himself.Roethlisberger, 34, said he has to expect Luck, 27, to play because Lucks a tough competitor and one of the best in the game. But he wouldnt knock Luck for sitting if necessary.The Tennessee Titans sacked Luck twice and hit him eight times in the Colts win Sunday, with defensive tackle Austin Johnsons fourth-quarter hit likely forcing Luck into the concussion protocol.Luck must be cleared before playing. Scott Tolzien is the backup. On the season, Luck is averaging 3.5 sacks per game.Roethlisberger was in the protocol last season after taking a hit from Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Michael Bennett in a Week 12 loss. He played the next game, with six full days to recover compared to Lucks three days this week. Roethlisberger said after that game that he didnt have a concussion. Roethlisberger has taken 453 sacks in his career, 34 in the past two seasons. Roethlisbergers concussion history dates to at least 2006, when he was questionable for a game with the Oakland Raiders while coming off a head injury.When asked by Indianapolis media whether hes kept track of his concussions, Roethlisberger said, I have no idea. Maybe too many.I have played this game a long time and younger days in my career when I wouldnt have [missed time], and there were many times that Ive said that I havent told anybody that I had been dinged or had a concussion, Roethlisberger said. Looking back on it, I wish I wouldnt have. You have to be smart when it comes to your brain because you only play football for such a short period of your life. When you have a family and people that you are going to be with for the long term, you have to really make sure your health is taken care of.Roethlisberger has played through several injuries as part of what he calls a violent sport. One injury cant be played through, he says.You can rub dirt on a lot of things, but you cant rub dirt on the brain, Roethlisberger said.ESPNs Mike Wells contributed to this report.

BALTIMORE -- In a duel between first-place teams, the most notable performances were turned in by Mark Trumbo, who hit his major league leading 30th home run, and Kevin Gausman, who pitched seven shutout innings.Chris Davis was the difference-maker, however, in the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.Though Davis is known for his mammoth home runs, the hustle of the 230-pound slugger helped propel the Orioles past the AL Central leaders.With runners at the corners and one out in the first inning, Davis hit a potential double-play grounder to second base. After the force at second, Davis beat the relay by a step to get an RBI and keep the inning alive.Thats a play that needs to be made, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said.

Playing in his first season with Baltimore, the 2016 All-Star already has eight more home runs than last year and is just four short of matching his career high, set in 2013 with the Angels.Hes been very valuable, a real consistent human being, Showalter said.After earning only one win in his first 16 starts, Gausman (2-7) struck out seven and allowed only one runner past first base. The right-hander gave up four hits and walked three but was backed by three double plays.Brad Brach surrendered a two-out, two-run single to Lonnie Chisenhall in the ninth before Zach Britton got the final out for his 32nd save.

                                      The second year of the Shaka Smart tenure at Texas begins in earnest on Friday when the 21st-ranked Longhorns open their regular season as they host the University of the Incarnate Word at the Erwin Center in Austin. Wholesale Grizzlies Jerseys .Its half the planet away from where Texas began the 2015-16 campaign, when it played its opener in Shanghai against Washington. Its also a whole different world from where the Longhorns were as a team at this time last year.Texas carries a roster that has just two seniors that logged significant playing time after sending an upperclassmen-heavy squad to the court last season. The Longhorns finished a 20-13 campaign that ended in a loss to Northern Iowa in the Round of 64 of the NCAA tournament.Texas doesnt return a player that averaged in double-figure scoring last year. Two sophomore guards, Eric Davis, Jr. (7.4 points per game) and Kerwin Roach (7.5 ppg) are the Longhorns top returning scorers; Davis will start Friday while Roach (and fellow sophomore guard/forward Tevin Mack) will miss the game because of a suspension for an undisclosed violation of team rules during the offseason.Fridays contest marks the collegiate regular-season debut for a talented freshman quartet -- forward Jarrett Allen, center James Banks and guards Andrew Jones and James Young -- that was ranked as a Top 5 national recruiting class.Those four players combined to register 62 of the teams 95 points and 29 of the teams 50 rebounds in a combined 113 minutes during the Longhorns exhibition win against Angelo State last week. All four freshmen reached double digits in scoring (Young 21, Jones 17, Allen 14, Banks 10).As talented as Texas is expected to be in the seasons early going, it will be only better as the season progresses, Smart said.Its not really a basketball Xs and Os thing as much as these guys figuring out how much as a team they need each other, Smart said. Especially these freshman guys who were the center of everything in their high school world and the sophomores who are now in a different role.Incarnate Word was 17-12 last season, finishing third in the Southland Conference. But the Cardinals cant be taken lightly after they upset St. Johns last season.Incarnate Word coach Ken Burmeister has posted 10 consecutive winning seasons with the Cardinals, including two conference titles, a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament.He has led Incarnate Word through a smooth transition into NCAA Division I play as the team has won 56 games over its first three years in the Southland Conference. That includes an 18-11 mark in 2014-15 when the Cardinals played a full Division I schedule for the first time.Were playing our share of big schools as we try to build this program, and there are times when we come away from the game excited about our potential and others when we are just ready to move on, Burmeister said. Were ready to play a game because thats when well learn the most about ourselves. We just appreciate being able to play someone like Texas.The Cardinals finished the 2015-16 season averaging 74.0 points per game, while shooting 43.5 percent from the field. Over the previous two seasons, Incarnate Word ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring.Sophomore forward Simi Socks and junior guard Shawn Johnson return to lead the backcourt, while junior college transfer forward Devin Wyatt and freshman guard Christian Peevy headline a strong class of incoming players.Johnson is the Cardinals most athletic player and will take on an added scoring role while rebounding and defending the oppositions best player. He was first on the team in blocks and third in steals, while shooting 40.0 percent from 3-point range last year.Burmeister said his team is a fighting through some preseason injuries, most notably a back ailment for junior transfer center Myles Banks.The Longhorns have won 13 of their last 14 season openers and have posted an overall mark of 90-20 (.818) in their previous 110 season-opening games. Texas has won 14 straight home openers and is 34-5 in home openers since the Erwin Center opened prior to the 1977-78 season.Fridays contest is the first meeting between the Longhorns and Incarnate Word in mens basketball.

At 7-7 and with two weeks remaining before the postseason, the future is what Counter Logic Gaming (CLG) makes of it. The back-to-back reigning and defending champions of the North American League of Legends Championship Series have battled their way back from a sub-optimal start to a respectable middling position in the standings.While the two giants of this splits regular season, Team SoloMid (TSM) and Immortals, have already clinched first-round byes in the playoffs, their shared dominance has allowed CLG to make a run for a possible third-place finish.It feels good to finally start winning, said Counter Logics starting AD carry Trevor Stixxay Hayes. Were actually pretty frustrated because when we played Immortals we felt like we should have 2-0ed them. [But, taking a game off of Immortals] shows were a really good team right now. For all of CLGs faults this split, the teams resolve hasnt wavered.The players were straightforward and open about their main problem: failing to play around the mid lane. At the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), CLG played around the side lanes to make it into the finals, which was arguably NAs greatest international feat in the games six-year history. Choi Huhi Jae-hyun, the teams starting mid laner, was often dangled over the map as a sacrificial lamb for the opposing team to gnaw at; hed die, allowing his carries to get off the necessary damage, and return to the field looking for where he could next be of use.Lately, Immortals, not sure if theyve been falling off or whats going on, but they dont feel as strong as they used to be, said Stixxay. Id say theyre not very proactive and a lot of the plays they make arent good plays. It only works because they outplay people, so I dont think theyre as dominant as they used to be. For TSM, I think theyre a really good team. Ill say their problems are overcommitting too much on certain sides -- sometimes theyll run acrross the map and lose resources on the other side -- and thats maybe an advantage we have on them. Grizzlies Jerseys From China. But I definitely think TSM is going to be the best team, and probably the team well face in the finals.Immortals has the individual skill to break a majority of the teams in the world. CLG, as we saw in Shanghai at MSI, has the teamplay aspect down and a wealth of strategies to do well on the international stage. This current iteration of TSM, however, is a mix of both the monstrous technical skill of Immortals and the sleek teamplay coordination of Counter Logic Gaming. Even as Finals MVP of last split, Stixxay realizes that fighting through the currently undefeated stronghold of Team SoloMid for a three-peat NA LCS title would be a harrowing run.When we went to MSI, we were pretty surprised on how well we did versus all the teams, he said. Last split we were pretty notorious for doing terrible in scrims and always performing well on stage. So at MSI it kinda turned around; wed do really well in scrims, which was surprising to me. The only problem with NA right now is its a top-sided region. There are very weak teams at the bottom, and you have the incredibly strong teams at the top. I think NA is a really, really strong region right now.[CLG], TSM, and Immortals, he answered when asked a bit more about which teams he thought comprised the cream of the crop. I think Team Liquid and Cloud9 are a little bit below us.Stixxay and CLG will attempt to prove they belong in an NA LCS triumvirate this week as the team looks to go over .500 for one of the first times this split. Counter Logic will have a Saturday matinee set versus fellow third-place hopefuls Team Liquid before taking the Rift on Sunday in a must-win matchup against currently last-place team Echo Fox.

                                      The presentation of Olympic medals is one of the more spine-tingling ceremonies in sports. Denzel Ward Jersey . National anthems blare from loudspeakers, flags wave through the crowd and tears fall as medals are draped from athletes necks.But what happens to those medals once the athletes step off the podium?We set out to uncover the path of a handful of Olympic medals, some that are historically significant, others that are obscure. Heres what we found:Gifts from LouganisBy the time Jeanne White-Ginder appeared with retired Olympic diver Greg Louganis at a childrens benefit event in 1995, they had been friends for years.Louganis had befriended her late son, Ryan White, during his well-publicized battle against AIDS in the 1980s, often visiting him in Indiana or inviting him to big diving events. Louganis was so inspired by Whites courage -- he had been bullied and expelled from school after contracting HIV via a blood transfusion -- that he gave the teen four of his medals from events such as the U.S. Championships and Pan American Games.Five years after Ryans 1990 death, White-Ginder presented a sculpture of her son to Louganis at the benefit in California. Then the five-time Olympic medalist shocked her.He reached in his suit pocket and pulled out his gold medal and put it around my neck, White-Ginder said. And he said, I want you to have this. Ryan just meant everything to me and saved my life.The medal was from Louganis victory in the 3-meter springboard at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Before those Games, Louganis had received the diagnosis that he was HIV positive, but he kept it a secret. On one of his preliminary dives, Louganis hit his head on the springboard and came out of the pool with a bleeding gash. He recovered to win but was shaken. Years later, he recalled that his young friend helped him in that moment. What would Ryan do in this situation? he remembered thinking. I knew he would fight and hang in there. He was my strength.White-Ginder kept the medal in a scrapbook for years, but thought it was wasted and needed to be seen. For a while it was on loan to the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Today, its at The Childrens Museum in Indianapolis, part of a display of Ryans bedroom in an exhibit called The Power of Children.That gold is one of five Olympic medals Louganis won. He earned a silver at Montreal in 1976, and then won four golds by sweeping the 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform events in 1984 and 88. Louganis gave the gold from the 1984 platform event to Ron OBrien, his coach.He was overwhelmed, Louganis said. He said he has never heard of an Olympian giving their coach a gold medal.Though White-Ginder has offered to give Louganis back his medal several times, he has said no. He still has three medals and is happy two went to people who treasure them.The medals meant so much to Jeanne and Ron, and I was happy to share them, he said. As far as I am concerned, the records are in the record books, and they mean so much to them, and I can honor them and their support of me.-- Doug WilliamsSmiths famous medal under lock and keyFor now, anyone who wants to see Tommie Smiths Olympic gold medal will have to be satisfied with gawking at the replica on his larger-than-life statue at San Jose State University.The real one is in a vault somewhere in Texas.The reason its there is because thats where I was born, and thats where I want the medal to be, said Smith, who lives in Georgia. Its under lock and key. ... The medal is still alive and kicking.The medal means a lot to Smith, 72, who earned it by winning the 200 meters at the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968. He says it represents the years of hard work. But he knows his medal carries a little more cultural (and financial) value than most. Its a piece of 20th century history. Thats why its locked away.Smith and bronze medalist John Carlos -- his teammate at San Jose State -- famously bowed their heads and raised their black-gloved fists on the medal stand during the national anthem, hoping to call attention to racial inequality. In turn, they stepped into a political firestorm in a turbulent time.I wanted to make my feelings known about the racist tendencies not only in America, Smith said, but the inhuman rights of the rest of the planet. ... The attitude of those who always view others less than themselves.In the years after 1968, he kept the medal with family in California, while he played wide receiver with the Cincinnati Bengals and taught and coached at Oberlin College. Eventually, he secured it in Texas.Over the years, he has taken it out to show friends and family, and hell visit it sometimes on homecomings.In 2010, he put it up for auction, along with the spikes he wore, to raise money for his program that uses track to help inner-city kids succeed in school. But when bids didnt meet his expectations, he kept the items.I couldnt do it for the price they wanted to give me for the medal, because it did represent something, he said.The glove he wore is long lost. It was part of a pair that he brought home from the Olympics and wore that fall and winter.It was cold in San Jose, he said, laughing. I left them in my car; Im pretty sure about that. I had a 6-month-old son, and he probably chewed them up.-- Doug WilliamsHousecleaning uncovers 1904 golf medalsJohn Ours figured hed just spend a day this past fall helping his stepfather clean out the house of his mother, who had died at age 101, three years earlier. After other relatives had taken what they wanted from her suburban Cleveland home, all that appeared left were a trove of books, old bills and rustic furniture.Little did Ours know he would stumble across one of the biggest stashes of golf memorabilia in the sports history, most notably a gold and silver medal from the 1904 Games, the last time golf was an Olympic event before Rio. The medals were won by H. Chandler Egan and eventually passed down to his only child, Eleanor Egan Everett, who had lived in the Chagrin Falls, Ohio, home for more than seven decades until her death in June 2012.It was a black metallic box stuffed in the bottom of a book-filled cabinet, blocked by an old rocking chair in a cramped den, that caught Ours eye. He pulled out the box and could tell by its weight that something interesting was inside.He sat down with his stepfather, Morris Everett Jr., at the kitchen table, and they popped the lid. On top were various medals Egan, Everetts grandfather, had won in collegiate and amateur events. When he reached the bottom of the box, Everett pulled out a shiny silver medal.It was the medal Egan had won as runner-up at the 1904 Olympic golf tournament in St. Louis, and it was in surprisingly pristine shape. Along with that memento was the gold Egan won in the team competition.We knew the history here, that there were medals, but over the years nobody knew what happened to them, Ours said. We didnt even have a thought that these things would have been in the house.Today, those medals are on display at the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida, after making their rounds earlier this year at the USGA Museum in Far Hills, New Jersey, and the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club outside Pittsburgh.Everett said hed like to find a permanent site to display the medals.I have a responsibility to my family members, but I cant imagine putting them away for another 50 years, he said.-- Dan ArrittDiver takes gold to RioThe absolute best and most fortunate athletes will take home gold, silver and bronze medals from these Olympics, but U.S. diver David Boudia actually brought the gold medal he won at the 2012 London Games with him to Rio.Boudia did so because the U.S. divers had a very recent pre-Olympic camp in Atlanta, where he knew they would be visiting a childrens hospital. He wanted to brighten up the patients day by not only showing them his gold medal and letting them touch it, but by placing it around their necks -- as if they were Olympic champions on the podium.I know these kids are going through so much, and their parents are also going through so much, that if we can lighten up their day a little bit, at the end of the day, we should do that, Boudia said. I think they were dumbfounded at how awesome this is, that this is an actual gold medal.Because he didnt return home before flying to Rio, Boudia brought the medal with him. Not that he is revealing where hes keeping it. Its in the athletes village somewhere, he said with a smile. Its a secret.When Boudia is at home, he keeps the medal in a safe, though he often takes it out for public appearances. And while he keeps the medal in a safe, that doesnt mean he worries too much about it getting stolen.If it does get stolen, then its a medal. We can maybe find a replacement, he said. If I lost it, it would not be that great. But I would still have my daughter and my wife.Or, he could always win another one.-- Jim CapleBirds cool propsAfter basketball star Sue Bird won her first gold at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, she was flying back to Seattle to resume the WNBA season when a flight attendant recognized her and asked to see her medal.And before I knew it, that medal was in the cockpit and then in the back of the plane and everyone had seen and touched it, Bird said. Thats when I truly understood what the medal meant. You know what it means, you see it, you experience it, but it wasnt until something like that happened when I truly realized, OK, this is pretty big.That medal was just the first of three golds Bird has won in the Olympics, and she could add a fourth in Rio. Among other places, she has kept them in her underwear drawer -- probably stupid -- and hidden them inside many things in her mothers house, but she now keeps them in a safety deposit box at a bank.Bird says that as important as the medals are, they are in some way just cool props for other people -- such as the friend who visited her home and wore all three golds while washing the dishes and vacuuming the floor. But it is winning in the Olympics that means much more than the medals you receive as a reward for doing so.The medal represents the Olympics, Bird said, but the whole experience is what resonates, not the actual medal itself.-- Jim CapleBasketball medals on the blockCashing in on Olympic gold has so far proved to be a volatile proposition for several ex-NBA players.In the past four years, Walter Davis, Jerry Lucas and Vin Baker have dusted off their gold medals -- each won over a decade apart with USA mens basketball -- and placed them up for auction with varying degrees of success.Davis, a six-time All-Star who remains the all-time leading scorer for the Phoenix Suns, decided to put his 1976 gold medal on the auction block in September 2012. After he set a minimum price of $10,000, it sold for $108,000.A year later, Lucas asked the same auction house to list his 1960 gold medal, only the former seven-time All-Star had a different idea of what his gold was worth. Lucas, the only NBA champion and Basketball Hall of Fame member among the three, asked for a reserve price of $250,000, but that number was never offered and the medal went unsold.Baker was a four-time All-Star before his career and personal life took a tumble. Financial woes two years ago led to him auction off his medal from the 2000 Games, the first gold sold that was won by a player in the Dream Team era. He kept his reserve price at $35,000, and it fetched $67,643.That wasnt the first Dream Team medal to end up on the auction block, however.Carmelo Anthony parted ways with the bronze he won at the 2004 Games. Anthony was reportedly displeased with his teams performance in Athens and gave the medal to a family member, who auctioned it for $14,080 in July 2014.Anthony eventually brought home the type of medal he was seeking, winning golds in 2008 and 12.-- Dan Arritt Cheap Browns Jerseys Authentic .

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres opened the second half by beating their nemesis, the San Francisco Giants, who happen to have baseballs best record.All-Star slugger Wil Myers hit his 20th home run and Adam Rosales also connected off Madison Bumgarner, powering the Padres to a 4-1 victory Friday night.The Padres snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Giants, their longest against San Francisco.They owned us in the first half, manager Andy Green said. Theres no doubt about that. They beat us handily, consistently. Its a lot better being on this side of things.Bumgarner (11-4), also an All-Star, didnt appear Tuesday in the Midsummer Classic at Petco Park because he pitched on Sunday, throwing a one-hitter and striking out 14 in a 4-0 victory against Arizona.Rosales homered off the side of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner leading off the fourth, his sixth.Myers, eliminated in the first round of the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night, homered to right-center in the fifth.I saw him well tonight, Myers said. Obviously, hes had some success off me. I saw some good pitches tonight. I felt like he left some mistakes over the plate. I was just able to put good swings on them.Andrew Cashner (4-7) won for the first time in four starts by holding the Giants to one run and four hits in six innings, striking out nine and walking none.It was vintage Cashner, Green said. It was really good. I dont remember him ever ripping off sliders like that. Thats as hard as Ive ever seen him throw a slider. ... It was a top-of-the-rotation type start today.Bumgarner just wasnt quite as sharp, manager Bruce Bochy said. Weve gotten pretty spoiled with him. Six innings, four runs, thats an off night for him, obviously. A couple of balls left the ballpark. He just wasnt quite as sharrp and they took advantage of it. Carlos Hyde Jersey.

                                      LONDON -- Now that Russian track and field athletes have failed in their effort to have their Olympic ban overturned, its up to the IOC to decide whether to kick the entire Russian team out of the games that begin in Rio de Janeiro in 15 days. Tomas Hyka Stanley Cup Jersey .In another blow to the image of the sports superpower, the highest court in sports on Thursday dismissed an appeal by 68 Russian track athletes of the ban imposed by the IAAF following allegations of systematic and state-sponsored doping.Sports officials in Moscow condemned the ruling as political, and said some athletes might take their case to civil courts. Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva said the Rio Games will be devalued, with only pseudo-gold medals available.In its ruling, the Court of Arbitration for Sport found that track and fields world governing body, the IAAF, had properly applied its own rules in keeping the Russians out of the games that begin Aug. 5.The three-man panel ruled that the Russian Olympic Committee is not entitled to nominate Russian track and field athletes to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games considering that they are not eligible to participate under the IAAF competition rules.The Russians had argued against a collective ban, saying it punishes those athletes who have not been accused of wrongdoing.The IAAF praised the decision, saying: Todays judgment has created a level playing field for athletes.IAAF President Sebastian Coe, who has declared the ban is crucial to protecting the integrity of the competition, said it was not a day for triumphant statements.I didnt come into this sport to stop athletes from competing, he said. It is our federations instinctive desire to include, not exclude.Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko suggested Russia could take the case to a civil court. CAS general secretary Matthieu Reeb said the Russians have the right to appeal to the Swiss federal tribunal within 30 days, but only on procedural grounds, not the merits of the decision. Olympic bodies and athletes sign up to CAS jurisdiction, and its rulings have very rarely been overturned.Reeb said the ruling is not binding on the International Olympic Committee, which has the final say as the supreme organizer of the games. However, the IOC last month accepted the IAAF decision to maintain its ban on the Russian athletes.The door is open for the IOC to decide, to determine even on a case-by-case principle whether these athletes are eligible or not, Reeb told reporters outside the court headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.While the ruling clears the way for other individual sports federations to apply similar bans on Russians, it also increases pressure on the IOC to take the unprecedented step of excluding the whole Russian team. The IOC has never banned an entire country from the games for doping, and the last time Russia missed the Olympics was in 1984, when the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles Games.The World Anti-Doping Agency, along with many national anti-doping bodies and athletes groups, have called on the IOC to impose a total ban on Russia following fresh allegations of state-orchestrated cheating across dozens of Olympic sports.Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, who was commissioned by WADA, issued a scathing report Monday that accused Russias Sports Ministry of orchestrating a doping system that affected 28 summer and winter Olympic sports. Officers of Russias intelligence service, the FSB, were also involved in the cheating, which included swapping of doping samples at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, McLaren found.On Tuesday, the IOC executive board said it would explore the legal options for a possible total ban on Russia but would wait until after the CAS ruling before making a final decision.The IOC executive board is scheduled to hold another emergency meeting Sunday via teleconference to consider the issue. In a statement Thursday, the IOC said it takes note of the CAS ruling upholding the track and field ban.We will now have to study and analyze the full decision, the IOC said. The IOC decision on the participation of the Russian athletes will be taken in the coming days.Former WADA president Dick Pound, an IOC member from Canada, accused the IOC of dithering and said the committee does not show the appetite to apply a total ban.Youve got the power to simply withdraw the invitation and say, `Sorry, your country has not demonstrated any understanding or respect of rules for clean competition. Youre not welcome, Pound said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.Pound, who authored a WADA report last year that detailed cheating in Russia and led to the IAAF ban, criticized the IOC for suggesting that individual federations could decide whether to exclude Russian athletes in their own sports, rather than imposing a complete ban itself.Why is the IOC not acting in the face of incontrovertible evidence of government interference? he said. What else do you need?A group of 14 national anti-doping agencies sent a letter to IOC President Thomas Bach urging a complete ban to uphold the Olympic Charter and the integrity of the Rio Olympic Games. Among the countries represented in the letter were the United States, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Austria.Germanys Olympic committee president Alfons Hoermann said the CAS verdict was a clear signal to the IOC.Where we have systematic cheating, we also must have systematic punishment, he said.As it stands, the IAAF has approved just two Russians to compete, as neutral athletes, after they showed they had been training and living abroad under a robust drug-testing regime. One is doping whistleblower and 800-meter runner Yulia Stepanova; the other is Florida-based long jumper Darya Klishina.Mutko said a Russian government committee will be formed to examine the McLaren report.He added Russian athletes will continue to defend their honor and dignity even though any legal proceedings may not be held before the games begin.Russia canceled a ceremonial send-off Friday for its Olympic athletes heading to Rio.Isinbayeva, the pole vault world record holder who is the face and voice of Russian track and field, told the state news agency Tass that the ruling marked the funeral of her sport.She had been aiming for her fifth Olympics and was a leading voice in calling for the ban to be overturned, even speaking at Tuesdays CAS hearing.In comments on her Instagram page, Isinbayeva suggested that some of her foreign rivals could be doping and wanted Russia banned to make the competition easier.Let all these pseudo-clean foreign athletes breathe a sigh of relief and win their pseudo-gold medals without us, she said. Theyve always been frightened of strength.Bans for individual dopers are fair, but not the exclusion of a whole team, hurdler Timofey Chaly argued.Its dishonest, he said. There are people who decided for themselves that they can dope and maybe somehow theyd get away with it. That didnt happen and they got bans. Thats fair.Vera Rebrik, who won gold in the javelin for Ukraine at the European Championships before switching her allegiance to Russia after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, was left out by the ruling.I dont know whether to laugh or cry. ... I cant find the words, she told Russian state broadcaster Match TV.---AP Sports Writers Graham Dunbar and James Ellingworth in Zhukovsky, Russia, contributed.

Jon Merrill Stanley Cup Jersey . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. http://www.cheapgoldenknightsjerseys.us/cody-eakin-stanley-cup-jersey/ . First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark".The Boston Bruins took control of their series against the New York Rangers, while the Ottawa Senators unlikely rally led to a double overtime win. Scott Cullen has stats and notes from Sundays NHL action. BOSTON POPSThe Boston Bruins pulled away from the New York Rangers, winning 5-2, Sunday to take a two games to none series lead. A remarkable story for the Bruins, D Torey Krug scored a goal and an assist Sunday and had the best possession numbers for the Bruins, and did so while playing only 12:56. Krug has two goals in two games since being inserted into the lineup due to injuries on the Boston blueline. G Henrik Lundqvist surrendered five goals on 32 shots for the Rangers. It was the first time since March 9, 2011 that he had allowed five goals in a game and only once this season did he have a single-game save percentage lower than Sundays .844 SV%. Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci each had two assists for the Bruins. This is worth noting because the Rangers split up their defence pairing of Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh for this series, at least in part because the Bruins had two lines, anchored by Bergeron and Krejci, capable of cotnributing offensively. As a result, in Game Two, Girardi took a minus-4. It was the first time since March 26, 2009 that Girardi was minus-4 in a game. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan had a game-high eight hits (note: recorded in the visiting rink) and scored the Blueshirts first goal. Boston coach Claude Julien is cutting back on ice time for underperforming wingers. Jaromir Jagr played 12:16 and Tyler Seguin just 11:10; season-lows for both. Its not a great surprise that the Bruins held serve in their two home games, but it emphasizes how much more the Rangers need from prime contributors if they have any hope of getting back into this series. RW Rick Nash, for example, scored his first goal of the playoffs in Game Two, but four points in nine playoff games isnt enough. When the Bruins have both of their top two scoring centres contributing, it only hammers home the point that Derek Stepan (three points) and Brad Richards (one) have done little this postseason. SENATORS GET CRUCIAL OT WINSenators LW Colin Greening scored in double overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win in Game Three against the Pittsburgh Penguins, cutting the Penguins series lead to two games to one. It was the third straight game in which Greening had scored, after he was held without a point for his first five playoff games this season. It looked like the Senators were on their way to going down 3-0 in the series, down by a gooal and shorthanded for the final 87 seconds of the third period, but captain Daniel Alfredsson snuck behind the Penguins defence on a rush up the ice to score a shorthanded goal that tied the game with 29 seconds left in the third period. Erik Haula Stanley Cup Jersey. It was a bounceback game for Senators G Craig Anderson, who was pulled after a little more than 21 minutes in Game Two. Anderson stopped 49 of 50 shots, a brilliant performance, though not the best statistical performance of his playoff career (Anderson had a 51-save shutout for Colorado vs. San Jose in 2010). Tomas Vokoun was no slouch at the other end of the ice, stopping 46 of 48 Senators shots. As the game reached double overtime, it was evident that even the losing goaltender in this 2-1 game was going to have a strong statistical night. Senators C Jason Spezza returned to the Senators lineup, playing his first game since January 27, playing 18:40, registering four shots on net and winning 60% of his faceoffs (15-for-25). Penguins C Evgeni Malkin had 10 shots on goal, several of the dangerous variety in the losing effort. Penguins D Paul Martin had a game-high eight blocked shots; Brooks Orpik had six. Martin led the Penguins with 37:16 of ice time, yet had the worst puck possession numbers in the game. Penguins LW Matt Cooke had six hits, tying him with Craig Adams to lead the Penguins. Senators RW Chris Neil had a game-high 10 hits. Cooke also drew two penalties, one in double overtime on Chris Phillips and one against Erik Karlsson with 1:27 remaining in the third period. Which leads us to Karlsson, who responded in a big way after a reduced role in Game Two. Karlsson played a game-high 39:48 and had five shots on goal, but had some run-ins with Cooke, which included the aforementioned penalty and an uncalled highstick from Cooke. Just as Karlsson rebounded from an Penguins C Sidney Crosby was held in check, one game after his hat trick buried the Senators, Crosby managed three shots while playing 33:08 and struggled possession-wise, which is a credit to those that faced him most: Karlsson, Marc Methot, Kyle Turris, Daniel Alfredsson and Jakob Silfverberg. After avoiding a daunting 3-0 hole, the Senators have a chance to even things up in Game Four, at home. All along theyve needed Anderson to be the difference-maker in this series and, Sunday, he was. Can he do it three more times? Scott Cullen can be reached at Scott.Cullen@bellmedia.ca and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen. For more, check out TSN Fantasy on Facebook.

                                      LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw is expected to create something of a regional tremor Saturday when he takes the mound for the Class A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, who play some 48 miles to the east of Dodger Stadium. Mike Remmers Jersey .The three-time Cy Young Award winner is expected to throw 50 pitches and three innings against Modesto in a minor league rehab outing as he tries to return to the major leagues at some point this month.Kershaw has been out since June 26 with a lower-back injury, and it is possible he could return to the Dodgers on the clubs next road trip, which starts next Friday and takes the team to Miami, Yankee Stadium and Arizona.Depending on when he returns, Kershaw could make as many as four starts with the Dodgers down the stretch. And if the club lines up the starts just right, two of them could come against the division rival San Francisco Giants.The Dodgers are in first place in the National League West, two games ahead of the Giants, after Los Angeles 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres on Friday night.Rancho Cucamonga has been a popular landing spot for rehabbing Dodgers players this season. Los Angeles has put a record-tying 27 players on the disabled list this season.Dodgers players who have made appearances for the Quakes this season include: Yasiel Puig, Andre Ethier, Scott Van Slyke, Enrique Hernandez, Howie Kendrick, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Brandon McCarthy, Brett Anderson, Bud Norris, Casey Fien, Josh Ravin and Adam Liberatore.Anderson also will pitch in Saturdays game for the Quakes, as he is scheduled to take the mound after Kershaw departs. Anderson is trying to return from a blister issue that has him on the disabled list. Daryl Williams Jersey . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more.

Remember, the preseason power rankings were based on paper. Now, the rankings change dramatically due to on-court results.Indianas victory in Hawaii over a top-5 Kansas team is far more impressive than Kentuckys easy win over a Michigan State club that lost to Arizona and nearly dropped one at home Sunday night to Florida Gulf Coast.The defending national champion Villanova Wildcats, Kansas and an injury-depleted Duke team round out the top 5 -- with Creighton earning the biggest riser award after wins over Wisconsin and NC State. I owe Bluejays fans and Greg McDermott an apology after calling them overrated in the preseason. The addition of Marcus Foster has been huge, as has the play of talented big man Justin Patton.Say goodbye to a pair of proud programs: Michigan State and UConn. The Spartans, at least, have lost to a couple of big boys: Arizona and Kentucky. But the Huskies have looked abysmal, losing at home to Wagner and Northeastern.1. Indiana Hoosiers Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 14The Hoosiers are shooting 44 percent from 3. James Blackmon Jr. is shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc thus far, and hes averaging 23 points and 7.3 boards. Indiana has the neutral-site win against Kansas on its résumé, which is arguably the most impressive win of the early season.2. Kentucky Wildcats Record: 4-0 Last weeks ranking: 3The Cats had no trouble with Michigan State at Madison Square Garden at the Champions Classic, largely due to the play of freshman Malik Monk and fellow guard Isaiah Briscoe. Monk scored 23 points and was 7-of-11 from deep in the 21-point win.3. Villanova Wildcats Record: 5-0 Last weeks ranking: 4The defending national champs have started strong with a close win at Purdue before winning the Charleston Classic on Sunday. Josh Hart, who nearly left for the NBA Draft after last season, made six of eight 3s against Wake Forest and finished with 30 points.4. Kansas Jayhawks Record: 2-1 Last weeks rankings: 2The Jayhawks dropped their season opener to Indiana in Hawaii, but Frank Masons game winner against Duke keeps KU in the top five. Mason has been sensational thus far, averaging 23 points, 5.7 assists and 4.7 boards. Bill Self became the winningest coach in Allen Fieldhouse history with the victory over Siena, and he now has a 207-6 career mark in the building.5. Duke Blue Devils Record: 4-1 Last weeks ranking: 1The Blue Devils have few healthy bodies but nearly knocked off Kansas in New York, and Duke had little problem beating a tough Rhode Island team. Heralded freshmen Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden havent played yet, and Grayson Allen has no lift or acceleration due to foot injuries. The duo of Luke Kennard and Amile Jefferson?have led the way for Coach K.6. Louisville Cardinals Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 5OK, who would have guessed that the Cards leading scorer and rebounder through the first three games would be junior forward Jaylen Johnson, who averaged 5.0 points and 3.5 boards last season? Johnson is putting up 15.3 points and 11.3 rebounds thus far, but the concern is that Rick Pitinos team has struggled from deep (20-for-63) and also from the line (61 percent).7. North Carolina Tar Heels Record: 4-0 Last weeks ranking: 6The Tar Heels havent played a big boy yet, but they pounded a couple of quality mid-majors: Chattanooga by 40 and Long Beach State by 36. Remember, the Tar Heels are without athletic wing Theo Pinson. The surprise has been the early play of freshman big man Tony Bradley, who is averaging 10.5 points and 7.8 boards in 17.5 minutes per game.8. Xavier Musketeers Record: 5-0 Last weeks ranking: 8 Without Myles Davis, the Musketeers looked vulnerable. The hope is that Davis, the senior who gives Chris Mack a much-needed shooter, will return at the semester break. Xavier will also get Kaiser Gates back soon, and that will help the depth, which has been lacking.9. Gonzaga Bulldogs Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 17Heres the thing with the Zags: We didnt realize their quality frontcourt depth. Przemek Karnowski is back healthy and leads the team in scoring (14.7) and rebounding (7.0). However, its the immediate impact of freshmen Zach Collins (14.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG) and Killian Tillie -- who had eight points and 10 boards in a win over San Diego State -- that make this team a legitimate top-10 club.10. Creighton Bluejays Record: 4-0 Last weeks ranking: NRI should have ranked the Bluejays in the preseason poll -- especially after watching Greg McDermotts team beat Wisconsin and then put up 112 points against NC State. This team is balanced with Maurice Watson Jr., Cole Huff, Marcus Foster and redshirt freshman big man Justin Patton.11. Saint Marys Gaels Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 19Australian big man Jock Landale averaged 7.9 points and 3.9 boards last season; he had 33 points in the opener against Nevada and then went for 15 points and 14 rebounds in a road win over a depleted Dayton club. Randy Bennetts team brought just about everyone back from last seasons team that barely missed the NCAA tournament.12. Baylor Bears Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 25Get to know the name Jo Lual-Acuil. The 7-footer was born in South Sudan, grew up in Australia and spent a couple of years in the junior college ranks before arriving in Waco. He is averaging 10.7 points, 10 boards and has 16 blocks in three games. Miami transfer Manu Lecomte has also been tremendous, leading the team in scoring (16.7 PPG) and assists (7.3).13. Syracuse Orange Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 18The question entering the season was point guard play, but Jim Boeheims duo of Colorado State transfer John Gillon and Frank Howard have combined for 27 assists and just five turnovers. Theres also the matter of that 2-3 zone, which has stifled opposing teams. Theyve shot a putrid 19 percent (19-of-98) from beyond the arc through the first three games.14. Purdue Boilermakers Record: 2-1 Last weeks ranking: 21The loss came against defending national champion Villanova, but Matt Painters team needed a 20-0 run at the end of the game against Georgia State to pull out a 64-56 victory. The Boilermakers minus-9 rebound margin was its lowest against a nonconference opponent since 2012. Sophomore big man Caleb Swanigan has looked the part of an All-American, averaging 20.7 points, 13 boards and 4.3 assists per game.15. Virginia Cavaliers Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 7Tony Bennetts Cavaliers made more news off the court than on it over the first week this season. Bennett tossed Memphis transfer Austin Nichols?off the team prior to the win over Yale. Nichols was suspended for the opener, and he was slated to be one of Virginias top offensive options. This will be a significant hit for the Cavs.16. Arizona Wildcats Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 9 With Allonzo Trier out of the lineup, Finnish skilled big man Lauri Markkanen has shined. He has quickly become the focal point of the Wildcats offense and is averaging 20.3 points and 6.7 boards thus far. Hes shooting 59 percent from the field, 46 percent from 3 and 95 percent from the line.17. UCLA Bruins Record: 4-0 Last weeks ranking: 24There hasnt been a better freshman duo thus far than point guard Lonzo Ball and skilled forward T.J. Leaf. Ball just makes everyone better, and Leaf can really score. Steve Alford has a talented, deep group. It should be tested this week at the Wooden Legacy.18. Oregon Ducks Record: 2-1 Last weeks ranking: 10Its difficult to evaluate the Ducks because theyve been without their most important player, Dillon Brooks, who is set to return Monday after rehabbing from offseason foot surgery. Oregon got blasted by Baylor in Waco, but the Ducks rebounded with a win over Valparaiso. When Brooks returns, its time to reevaluate this group.19.?Florida Gators Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 20The Gators have beaten Florida Gulf Coast, Mercer and St. Bonaventure. So they are still fairly unproven. Canyon Barry, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry and a graduate student majoring in nuclear engineering, had 16 points off the bench for Florida. The key, though, is point guard play. Starter Kasey Hill has struggled thus far with just 10 assists and eight turnovers.20. Michigan Wolverines Record: 4-0 Last weeks ranking: NRThe Wolverines won the 2K Classic after pounding both Marquette and SMU. John Beilein admitted his defense was subpar (and thats putting it nicely) last season, but Michigan is holding opponents to 41 percent shooting and 59.5 points per game through the first four games this season. Junior D.J. Wilson barely played last season; hes logging 30 minutes per game, grabbing 9.5 boards and has been a huge factor in the improved defense this season.21. Wisconsin Badgers Record: 2-1 Last weeks ranking: 12The Badgers lost to Creighton in Omaha but are still worthy of a top-25 ranking. Bronson Koenig has just three assists in three games. Nigel Hayes is struggling, averaging 11.0 points and 4.3 rebounds thus far. The Badgers are shooting just 31 percent from beyond the arc.22. West Virginia Mountaineers Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: 23Bob Huggins and the Mountaineers have beaten up on low-majors: Mount St. Marys, Mississippi Valley State and New Hampshire. Huggins has 11 guys who are averaging more than 10 minutes per game. Three of them -- Nathan Adrian, Jevon Carter?and?Teyvon Myers?-- are averaging double figures in scoring.23. Rhode Island Rams Record: 4-1 Last weeks ranking: NRThe Rams got a big win against Cincinnati but couldnt take advantage of an injury-depleted Duke team in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off title game. E.C. Matthews is still working his way back from an ACL injury that cost him all but one game last season.?24. Seton Hall Pirates Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: NRKevin Willard lost Isaiah Whitehead but returns the other four starters. The coach also added freshman Myles Powell (15.3 PPG). Khadeen Carrington is leading the team at 21.7 points per game, but he has had plenty of help from Desi Rodriguez, Angel Delgado and Powell. Seton Hall is one of the few power league teams that has a true road win -- at Iowa.25. USC Trojans Record: 3-0 Last weeks ranking: NRThe Trojans deserve a spot after a road win against Texas A&M. Andy Enfields team isnt overly deep -- especially up front -- but he has a couple of talented bigs with Chimezie Metu and Bennie Boatwright, in addition to guard Jordan McLaughlin and wing?Elijah Stewart. However, it was freshman DeAnthony Melton who came up with the two biggest plays of the game -- a 3-pointer and a late steal.Dropped out: UConn, Michigan State, San Diego State, Dayton, NC State Steven Adams Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

                                      MARGAO -- When Eder produced his moment of magic to win the European Championships for Portugal, he sent a whole nation into jubilation, scarcely believing what they were seeing; 4500 miles away from the Stade de France, a group of 150 people watching in a sports club in Goa echoed their celebrations and their disbelief. Chandler Parsons Jersey .Eders goal kicked off the party at the B.P.S Sports Club in Margao, and across a state that has worn its Portuguese connections with pride and emotion. Named after Bernardo Peres de Silva, the first Goan to be Governor during the Portuguese rule, the club was all prepared, with giant-screen TVs, to support the home team.Over the course of 120 minutes, the crowd went through a rollercoaster ride of emotions, lustily cheering Ronaldo, shocked into silence at his injury and early exit, booing Dmitri Payet, whose tackle had led to the injury. The tension grew thicker as the match progressed but the late goal prompted an outbreak of hugs and smiles as Portugal were crowned European champions.We have huge Portuguese support here in Goa, Conrad Baretto, owner of the largest sports community in Goa, the football dug out, said. I have been arranging screenings for more than two years and Brazil, Portugal and Germany have the most supporters here.The Portuguese ruled Goa for 450 years, leaving on 19th December, 1961 - celebrated since then as Liberation Day. Culturally, though, the Portuguese have never left; their customs and traditions remain, in the food, the language, the laissez-faire and in the football.The youngsters do not have that connection, but the adults do, Conrad said. My grandmother is Portuguese, but I only speak a little bit of the language. The current generation shift their interest in teams and change their support to Germany for example, but if you go to Nostalgia (a restaurant in South Goa), you find the hard core Portugal supporters.Chef Fernandos Nostalgia, to give it its full name, is owned by possibly the most passionate Portuguese fan in Goa: Margarida Tavora e Costa. Margarida, half Portuguese, set up the restaurant with her husband Fernando. Ahead of the final, they had prepared a special menu and dressed their staff in red T-shirts. The primary ingredient, Bacalhau, the salted cod thats the staple of Portuguese cuisine, had been imported from Portugal, as was the De Reino olive oil.The menu included Bolinhos do Bacalhau (fish cutlets) as a starter with Bacalhau a bras ou a gomes sa (fish with onions and potatoes) as a main course and Serradura as dessert. These are all authentic Portuguese dishes we will serve for lunch and dinner today celebrating Portugals entry to final. We are very passionate football lovers and today we are happy to serve our customers authentic Portuguese dishes Margarida said.Champs, a sports store in the heart of Margao, was similarly decked out in Portuguese jerseys, flags, stickers and scarfs. Red and green everywhere. Everybody supports Portugal, Dennie Noronha, the showroom manager, said. Once the World Cup or the European Cup starts, most people in Goa support Portugal or Brazil. Some also want to facepaint and some want a Portuguese sticker for the car.As we were speaking, two women came in and bought a Portuguese flag. I asked them why. The answer was unambigious: We just love Ronaldo.The Portuguese introduced football in Goa, says Francisco Mascarenhas (81). When I was in school we used to play football every day. That was the beginning. All the students were trained to play and it gradually developed. In those days I used to enjoy watching Eusébio. He was my hero. All the Goans during that time had a connection with him.Fransiscos family are what you call the definition of a Portuguese-origin family in Goa. While his observations say a lot about the infatuation of football in the state, his son- in-law gives some more insight.The Portuguese promoted their football through religion. Priests were also involved in the game. If you have noticed most Goan football players have traditionally been Catholics, and this was established through the church, Jesus Ribeiro, a financial consultant in Goa, said.This is probably why the greatest football players from Goa are Clifford Miranda, Climax Lawrence, Joaquim Abranches, Alvito DCunha and Bruno Coutinho. The demographic is changing though, as witnessed by the emergence of Mahesh Gawli and Samir Naik.As the sun rose on Margao, Portugals victory was still being talked about and Ronaldo was being compared - favourably, of course - to Messi for the hundredth time.By sunset Goa will return to its susegad lifestyle - the word, adapted from Portuguese, sums up the laidback nature of this coastal state. For the Goans, this victory means much more than a European Cup. The elders are rekindling memories of their younger days and planning on phoning friends and relatives in Portugal; the young are perhaps listening to these stories in person and creating memories of their own.A continent away from the Stade de France, football has scored another winner.

Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. Wests Tigers have come of age under Jason Taylor, recording their greatest win under the second-year coach to stay on track for the NRL finals.A determined and defensively stubborn Wests outfit, ably led by Mitchell Moses, defeated premiers North Queensland 26-14 at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday to move into the top eight for the first time since early in the season.James Tedesco scored one of the tries of the season to seal the round-22 win for Wests right on fulltime.The loss tipped the Cowboys out of the top four with four rounds to play until the finals.Thats great. Three (wins) in a row is really good, Taylor said.I really felt momentum building into this game. I felt that at training.I was really confident with our enthusiasm and effort and we showed that today.Jack Littlejohn stepped in for injured halfback Luke Brooks, and Moses was superb in defence and attack.Mitch was in control and Jack Littlejohn, he supported Mitch really well, Taylor said.Mitch handed control over as he became tired late in the game and that is a real sign of his maturity.First-half tries to David Nofoaluma and Kevin Naiqama had the Tigers on top 12-6 after a bruising first half before a boisterous crowd of 14,246, with Kane Linnett crossing for the visitors.The sides traded penalty goals after the break before Sauaso Sue looked to have clinched it for the Tigers with seven minutes to go.Ethan Lowe hit back a minute later, but the Cowboys spilt the ball from the restart set and Tedescco beat six defenders to go over to claim the Tigers 10th and most important win of the season, two weeks after club legend Robbie Farah was controversially dropped to reserve grade. Ben McLemore Jersey. I still cant believe that he scored that try, Taylor said.When he was getting close I thought maybe we can kick a field goal. I was pretty happy when he got there.Tedesco said he wasnt sure hed scored until replays proved he placed the Steeden on the line.Sometimes my teammates say they dont know what line I am running and I didnt really know where I was running there. I just wanted to get to the tryline, he said.I wasnt sure I got there but am glad I did. It was a great win for us.Taylor acknowledged the Cowboys were probably not at their best.Johnathan Thurston was a late inclusion in his return from a hamstring injury and had a mixed game.Coach Paul Green blamed the Cowboys loss on a poor preparation.To put it simply our ball control wasnt good enough, he said.They put pressure on us through their defence and there was a lack of composure at times from us. But the Tigers were very committed.We havent trained together as whole squad for 10 weeks now. It is not an excuse, but your preparation is everything.We are trying to manage guys and keep them fresh at the back end of the year.Hopefully we can get everyone together at training this week.
