Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said he thinks his brother, former Duke guard Bobby Hurley, will root for the Rams against the No. 1 Blue Devils when the teams meet in the final of the Naismith Hall of Fame Tipoff in Uncasville, Conn., on Sunday.Thats a tough one. I mean, blood over Dukes family, Hurleys family -- I think hes with me though, because he talks to me more than K, Dan Hurley told ESPN after his No. 21 team survived an NCAA tournament game against No. 24 Cincinnati in the semifinal nightcap Saturday.Bobby Hurley, a point guard who helped Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski to back-to-back NCAA titles, is the coach at Arizona State. He wont be at the Mohegan Sun Casino Arena on Sunday, but the Hurley brothers dad, noted high school coach Bob Hurley Sr. is there watching Dan and his 4-0 Rams, who face Krzyzewski and his battered Blue Devils for the tournament crown.Once again, Rhode Island will have the crowd at its back -- these games being played 37 miles from its Kingston campus. The Rams face a Duke team (3-1) that came to Connecticut shorthanded and suffered more problems in Saturdays victory over Penn State.Were banged up more than any team Ive ever coached, Krzyzewski said after a hell of win over Penn State that saw Chase Jeter go down with an ankle injury while Grayson Allen hobbled around on a bad toe.Before the game and then during the game ... I mean, Amile (Jefferson) has been hurt this week, he has 15 rebounds and 16 points. Matt (Jones, 15 points) plays the last two ball games in the second half with four fouls. The veteran play of those two kids really saved us.Duke, which will likely fall out of the top spot in the poll because of a loss to Kansas on Tuesday, has three freshmen who havent even played yet because of injury.The three freshman wont play Sunday, Allen should and Jeter might as Krzyzewski tries for his 19th in-season title.Rhode Island had to overcome some adversity Saturday as well, losing point guard Jarvis Garrett to what looked like a scary injury in the first half.Garrett, hustling for a rebound, fell over the end line and appeared to hit his head on the knee of a cameraman. He was down for several minutes, got up on his feet but was taken from the court, his neck in a brace on a stretcher and sent to a hospital for evaluation.Players from both teams wished Garrett well as he was wheeled away, with the Rhode Island bench emptying to wish their teammate well -- and Garrett was able to text his coach from the hospital.Hes getting tests done. He has some type of neck injury, Hurley said. No idea in terms of a timetable or as to the severity of it.I thought our guys love for him and love for each other as brothers caused them to rise to the level and want it even more.Asked about reacting to losing a key player, Hurley pointed to a pair of in-season tournament blowouts his team suffered the past two years, against Maryland and Kansas.Not this year. Were fully loaded, he said.He said he thought Saturday was a sign. That the hype about our teams was probably real; based on the way weve grown, with our young players, and the adversity of last year. Cincinnatis a heck of a team, probably underrated.Saturday, the Rams missed their first nine 3-pointers before hitting eight of their last 12 with E.C. Matthews nailing a 3 from the right corner off a late out-of-bounds play.And now they get Duke.Special for the coach?I was coaching high school games seven years ago and driving vans around ... now were nationally ranked and playing Duke (Sunday) for a championship, Hurley said, calling Duke the premier program in the country that embodies everything you want in a college program. It kind of means a lot. Taj Gibson Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Elfrid Payton Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. https://www.cheapknicks.com/491x-iman-shumpert-jersey-knicks.html . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. Wayne Ellington Jersey . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Kyle OQuinn Jersey . Pert has formerly spent time as an assistant coach with Cardiff City, Coventry City, and Bahrain mens national team. "Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson.EUGENE, Ore. -- Derek Drouin set a Canadian record in mens high jump Saturday at the Prefontaine Classic. The Olympian from Corunna, Ont., jumped 2.36 metres to win bronze behind Essa Barshim of Qatar, who set a world-leading height at 2.40 metres. American Erik Kynard (2.36) was second. The previous Canadian mark was set by Mark Boswell of Brampton, Ont., who jumped 2.35 metres three times in his career, most recently in 2002. Drouin won bronze at the 2012 London Games. Meanwhile, Eugene Sheila Reid of Newmarket, Ont., set a personal best in the womens 1,500-metres with a time of four minutes 02.96 seconds, almost a full five seconds faster than her personal best going into the race. Reid finished sixth in the race. Cam Levins of Black Creek, B.C., finished 13th in the mens 5,000-metres in a personal best time of 13:15.19, just over two seconds off the Canadian record of 13:13.96 set in 1998 by Jeff Schiebler. Justin Gatlin won the 100 metres at the Diamond League meet in a wind-aided time of 9.88 seconds, besting fellow Americans Michael Rodgers and Ryan Bailey. The 31-year old, who won the bronze medal at the London Games, joked afterward: "I just age like wine." Then 17-year-old Mary Cain broke the high school record in the 800 in 1:59.51, placing fifth in an elite field that included Olympic bronze medallist Yekaterina Poistogova and Janeth Jepkosgei, third in last years world championships. Cain, from Bronxville High School in New York, topped the record of 2:02.04 set by Amy Weissenbach of Harvard-Westlake high in 2011. She also is the first American junior athlete to run the 800 under 2 minutes, breaking Kim Gallaghers mark junior of 2:00.07 in 1982. "Down that backstretch I think I was the most determined person out there," said Cain, who battled fellow American Alysia Montano to the finish. "I said to myself, Im going to break that two-minute barrier." Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi won the 800 in 1:56.72, a meet record and a world best this season. But the sellout crowd of 12,816 erupted into cheers when Cains record was announced. One fan shouted to the high school junior: "Come to Oregon!" "Im not really used to this. Im still a star-struck little kid out there, so its really cool," Cain said. Gatlin won the Olympic gold medal at the Athens Games but his promising career was derailed in 2006 by a positive drug test that led to a four-year ban. He has since worked hard to repair his past and was the defending champion at the Prefontaine, winning last year in 9.dddddddddddd9 in a tuneup for the U.S. Olympic trials. "I felt like I had a pretty good start, and I brought it home pretty good," Gatlin said. "Last year, my 20 metres before the finished line wasnt as strong as I wanted it to be. Thats what weve been working on." Gatlin took longer than any other athlete on his victory lap, stopping frequently to sign autographs and pose for pictures. In the womens 400, Olympic gold medallist Sanya-Richards Ross finished last in her first race since having surgery on her right big toe last September. The event featured all three medallists from the London Games, Richards-Ross, Christine Ohuruogu and DeeDee Trotter. "It was rough today," Richards-Ross said. "I realized I wasnt going to really push it as well as I wanted to." Armantle Montsho of Botswana won the 400 in 50.01 seconds. In other events, Hellen Obiri of Kenya won the womens 1,500 in 3:58.58, and Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba took the 5,000 in 14:42.01. Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price won the womens 100 in 10.71. American Allyson Felix fell to seventh. "I still have some work do," said Felix, who says shes working to get ready for the U.S. championships in Des Moines later this month. Beijing Olympic gold medallist LaShawn Merritt won the mens 400 in 44:32, and Jamaican Nickel Ashmeade ran the 200 in 20:14 to best Walter Dix in 20:16. "This is just my second 400 in nine months. But Im a competitor and I know every time I line up against that field Im going to have to run, so I wanted to put a race together," Merritt said. In the 5,000, Kenyan Edwin Cheruiyot Soi won in 13:04.75, just in front of Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah of Britain in 13:05.88. Farah, who won gold medals in both the 5,000 and 10,000 at the London Games, was supposed to run in the 10,000 at Hayward Field on Friday night but withdrew from the race a day earlier because of a stomach bug he picked up two weeks ago at a meet in California. He decided instead to run the 5,000 instead with training partner and friend Galen Rupp. Rupp, who won the silver in the 10,000 in London, came in sixth. Ethiopian Mohammed Aman won the mens 800 in 1:44.42. American Nick Symmonds, a local favourite who trains with the Oregon Track Club, finished third. Kenyan David Rushida, world record holder in the 800, had to withdraw from the Pre because of a right knee injury. Rushida had an MRI on Thursday in Eugene, revealing bruising of the bone and ligaments. ' ' '
