LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Fresh off its 87-64 season-opening victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday, Kentucky returns to action just two days later when Canisius visits Rupp Arena.Coach John Calipari is excited for Sundays game because he anticipates a completely different test than the one presented by Stephen F. Austin first-year coach Kyle Keller.I dont think Canisius will play that type of man-to-man, which makes you play a little different, Calipari said. That team denies wings. Kyle has them denying passes, denying wings, which could lead to turnovers.What they do is they disrupt your offense, they take you out of what you want to do and make you play one-on-one. The issue is were pretty good at playing one-on-one, Calipari said. Canisius, I dont know. But Im glad they played us some zone. We got the ball right where we wanted it, we didnt make the plays, but well watch the tape and show them what was there.Canisius was only 14-19 last season, its 12th losing season since the turn of the century. The Griffins have not won an MAAC regular season title since 1994, and its last trip to the NCAA Tournament came in 1996.The Griffins are led by Phil Valenti, the top returner in points (14.6), rebounds (6.1) and assists (2.1). The 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior started all 33 games last year. He topped double figures scoring 24 times, including a career-best 33 in a MAAC Tournament win over Niagara. Valenti needs 122 points this year to top 1,000 for his career.Canisius also returns 6-3 junior guard Kassius Robertson, who also started all 33 games. He averaged 14.1 points per game while attempting the most field goals at 213. Next closest was 127.Kentucky will be coming into the game after beating Stephen F. Austin by 23 points. It was a debut in which the Wildcats put five players into double figures -- Isaiah Briscoe, 17; Derek Willis, 15; DeAaron Fox, 12; Malik Monk and Wenyen Gabriel, 10.What I like is five guys in double figures and the other two with nine and eight. That is how we play here, Calipari said. Now you say, well, theyre all McDonalds All-Americans, they scored 30 points a game in high school. Yeah, youre not playing that way here.When Kentucky takes the court on Sunday, Calipari will be looking for continued improvement of a simple game plan.I dont want to put any more in right now, Calipari said. Lets just get good at what we are. We only have a few things, you saw us, Im not out there running 17 different offenses, were just not ready for that. Im more concerned about defense and rebounding and blocking shots.One word of caution for Kentucky: Beat Canisius in regulation. The Golden Griffins outscored opponents last year 21-4 during the third overtime period.Kentuckys game with Canisius will be the final tune-up before a nationally televised battle on Wednesday against Michigan State in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York.Michigan State just lost. So what were going to be playing a mean dog up in New York, Calipari said. So these three games to start off the year when were a bunch of freshmen, its going to be a rough go.Quincy Carter Jersey .

The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Joanna Rowsell-Shand was still cherishing her latest Olympic gold medal when teammate Becky James rallied on the final lap of the womens keirin to win a silver of her own.Yes, another British medal haul is underway at the Rio de Janeiro Games.The squad of Rowsell-Shand, Katie Archibald, Laura Trott and Elinor Barker beat the world champion United States in the finals of the womens team pursuit Saturday, their second straight victory in the event -- in record time -- giving their powerful track program its third gold medal.James gave them their fourth overall when she took silver behind Dutch rider Elise Ligtlee.All the coaching and support we get, the performance support, its all based around peaking every four years, said Rowsell-Shand, part of the team that also beat the U.S. at the London Games.Britain won seven of the 10 gold medals possible on the track four years ago. Its mens sprint team and mens pursuit team have already won gold in Rio, and defending Olympic champion Jason Kenny is due to meet teammate Callum Skinner in the sprint finals on Sunday.That means the British are already assured of another gold and silver.Pretty amazing, James said of the success. Im still buzzing off it.The British womens pursuit team actually trailed the Americans after the first quarter of the race, but pulled ahead by nearly a second by the midway point. The four women cruised to the finish in 4 minutes, 12.454 seconds, breaking the record they set in the semifinal round.The U.S. team of Kelly Catlin, Chloe Dygert, Jennifer Valente and Sarah Hammer took silver in 4:12.454, while Canada beat New Zealand for bronze in 4:14.627.Im still so proud of the team and what we accomplished, Hammer said. I feel like were kind of the little team that could going against the big `ole machine of Great Britain.It was a busy third day of competition at the velodrome, and not just for riders.A spectacular crash in the second heat of the womens keirin Friday morning left a gouge about halfway up the track midway through the first and second turns. Officials patched it up with duct tape and then used wood filler and sanded it down between a break in competition.ddddddddddddDuring the same break, workers in the stands appeared to do some repair work on seats.All their sawing, drilling and clanging was over by the time the night session began, and would have been drowned out anyway by the roars from the crowd packed inside the broiling venue.The heat began building in the night session as the pursuit finalists took to the track, and a heavily pro-Britain crowd -- Union Jack flags again flying from the railings -- let out a roar.The Americans on their high-tech, left-side drive bikes got off the start line quickly, taking a half-second lead on their rivals by the first 500 meters. But that lead was wiped out over the next two laps, and the two heavyweights began trading the lead for several more circuits.By the midway point, the British team had a half-second lead and was firmly in control.All that was left to decide over the final 2,000 meters was whether the British team would break its own world record, and even that was hardly a question. The team smashed it by 2 seconds.James nearly gave the Brits another gold medal in the keirin.Ligtlee went to the front on the final lap of the six-rider sprinting event, while James was last in the field. But she took to the outside through the first and second corners and overcame three rivals down the backstretch, putting a charge into the partisan crowd.The extra distance of riding outside proved to be a bit too much to overcome.Ligtlee held on during the drag-race to the finish line, giving the Netherlands another cycling medal to go with the three won by Anna van der Breggen and Tom Dumoulin on the road.James was content with silver in the event retired British star Victoria Pendleton won four years ago, while Anna Meares of Australia walked away with her sixth Olympic track cycling medal.This is my first Olympics, Ligtlee said, and my dream has always been to win a gold medal. But when I started here I didnt know what to expect. And now here I am, standing with the gold medal. ' ' '
