Termine » aying at Allen Fieldhouse ear

Helen Glover and Heather Stanning stormed to gold at Rio 2016, retaining their Olympic womens pair title in style, before Alex Gregory, Mohamed Sbihi, George Nash and Constantine Louloudis followed suit in the mens four.Four years on from lighting up London 2012, their unbeaten run that stretches back to 2011 was never in doubt on a dank morning in Brazil.Glover and Stanning led from the outset, winning in seven minutes 18.29 seconds to become the first female British rowers to retain their Olympic crown.Stanning told BBC One: Its not done until its done. Youve got to cross the line first. We knew it was important to get a good start and thats what we did.To be fair I think my first stroke was pretty shoddy. I was a bit slow reacting compared to what I can do.Glover added: It was good, it was great, Heather was amazing.Weve just got to say a massive, massive thank you to Robin (Williams) our coach. He just put that together, that is for him - four years of hard work. Hes been really ill, hes been away from home for most of the year and he deserves to be up here with us speaking to you guys.Stanning said: Without him wed be nowhere.The duo embraced after crossing the line at the end of a regatta they were 1/9 favourites to win with some bookmakers.Glover and Stanning were given a scare in the heats by the Danish crew, eventually sneaking victory by 0.16 secs, but cruised through Thursdays semifinal.There was a similarly dominant display from the indomitable duo in the final as they extended their unbeaten run together to a 39th race.Cheered on by friends and family at the Lagoa, the world and European champions were 1.77secs up after 500 metres.They were 3.58s ahead at the halfway mark and would eventually win by 1.24, seeing off a late surge from New Zealand.Glover and Stanning were followed on the Rio water by Gregory, Sbihi, Nash and Louloudis, who continued Britains dominance of the mens four, bringing home gold from a fifth successive Olympics.The burden of history may weigh heavy but the quartet proved they have broad enough shoulders for that expectation, holding off Australia to triumph by 1.83 secs.Victory saw Gregory defend his mens four gold from London 2012, while Sbihi, Nash and Louloudis improved on the Olympic bronzes they won four years ago.It continued Jurgen Groblers run of coaching a gold medal-winning crew at every Olympics since 1972 and, most pertinently, Britains dominance of the mens four that started at Sydney 2000, when Sir Steve Redgrave won his fifth and final gold medal.There have been some nerve-wracking moments along that glorious run but the current four looked comfortable from the outset on Friday.Just like Thursdays semifinal, they attacked from the front and had the power to see off Australias attention, beating them to victory in five minutes 58.61 seconds.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Whenever Bill Self looks back at the box score from his 207th win at Allen Fieldhouse, one that made him more successful in the building than any other Kansas coach, hell see Tyler Selfs name on it.His son, a senior backup who rarely plays, knocked down his only shot in the game.Now that you mention it, its nice, Self said after the seventh-ranked Jayhawks 86-65 victory over Siena on Friday night. It was nice he got in there and made the shot.The Saints did their best to spoil the party.Marquis Wright hit three straight 3-pointers midway through the second half, and the gritty senior guards three-point play got coach Jimmy Patsos team within 63-58 with about 7 1/2 minutes left.But Lagerald Vick answered with back-to-back baskets for the Jayhawks, kicking off the game-defining 16-2 run. Frank Mason III added a 3-pointer and a couple foul shots, Devonte Graham got into the act and the Jayhawks -- so accustomed to dominating inside -- leaned on their guard play to seal the win.At one point, Mason, Vick and Graham scored 20 straight points for the Jayhawks.Theres a lot of things we could have done better, said Mason, who finished with 18 points.The Jayhawks were just 3 of 12 from beyond the arc, struggled from the foul line and were exposed on the defensive end of the floor, where Siena was able to get to the basket too easily.I didnt think we played very tough, Self said. I didnt think we played very fast. We looked slow defensively. I thought our big guys really struggled early.Graham finished with 13 points and nine assists, and Vick had 12 points off the bench, as the Jayhawks (2-1) extended their winning streak to 42 straight at Allen Fieldhouse.Wright had 25 points, Javion Ogunyemi added 19 and Khalil Richard had 10 for the Saints, who took advantage of the Jayhawks poor perimeter shooting to offset a big rebounding disparity.Theyve got depth, they have inside players. You thought you had them,, then their quickness to the ball took over, said Patsos, who got a primer on playing at Allen Fieldhouse earlier Friday from former Kansas guard and current Maryland coach Mark Turgeon.dddddddddddd.He asked his wife to marry him out on the floor, Patsos said, and I said, `Yeah, you coming back to play there? And he said, `Hell no! Now I know why.EXHAUSTED JAYHAWKSThe Jayhawks opened the season with an overtime loss to Indiana in Hawaii, then beat top-ranked Duke in New York. They traveled about 12,000 miles for two games in roughly four days, and Self said he could see the weariness in his players during shoot-around.We were physically tired, Self said, and our brain told our body we were tired.BIG PICTUREKansas freshman Josh Jackson, whom many believe will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, spent most of the night in foul trouble. He was visibly frustrated and wound up with 10 points.Siena could use Lavon Long on the floor. The senior forward, who averaged more than 10 points a game last season, has been suspended for the first three games for violating team rules.RECRUITING WINFive-star prospect Billy Preston announced earlier in the day hell attend Kansas next season. The 6-foot-10 forward from prestigious Oak Hill Academy in Virginia signed his letter of intent this week.I dont think weve ever had the opportunity to coach a taller, more athletic skill player than Billy, Self said. He has guard-type athletic ability and skills.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith their win over the No. 1 Blue Devils and fourth-ranked Oregons lopsided loss to Baylor, look for the Jayhawks to climb back into the top five, where they began the season.UP NEXTKansas plays UAB in the semifinals of the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Missouri on Monday night.Siena visits reigning Big South champion UNC-Asheville on Sunday.
