Vorstellung » have that going forward, Davis said. W

American basketball fans have a lot to cheer about these days.USA Basketball is the favorite to bring back gold in mens and womens basketball at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.It all starts with the head coaches, Mike Krzyzewski and Geno Auriemma. These men have proved themselves at every level, including international basketball. They know how to get the most from their talent, and their systems and concepts on the court have proved successful.I know some people will look at the mens squad and say, No LeBron James, no Steph Curry -- this team isnt as good as the USA usually sends. But I feel this team has plenty of talent, and under Coach K, they will be totally prepared for anything in this event.Players like Paul George, DeMarcus Cousins and others will mesh with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony to excel.Auriemma also has an incredibly balanced and talented squad. On any given night, one of several players can lead the team in scoring. This group will play as a cohesive unit.There is so much talent, whether its Brittney Griner, Tamika Catchings, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Elena Della Donne or Tina Charles. The list goes on and on.College basketball has an impact on these Olympic teams. Besides Coach K, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is instrumental as an assistant. The womens team has DePaul coach Doug Bruno and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley on its staff.I would really be shocked if either the USA mens or womens team fell short Rio. The competition throughout the world has gotten better and better, so this may not be a cakewalk. Still, with Krzyzewski and Auriemma in charge, there is reason for confidence. Justin Layne Jersey . Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight.

Heath Miller Youth Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. http://www.steelerspronfl.com/Youth-Donnie-Shell-Elite-Jersey/ . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. Ernie Stautner Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. John Stallworth Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. LOS ANGELES -- Southern California wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was upset.After fighting with two defenders, he walked to the other side of the practice field with cornerback Adoree Jackson in pursuit. After Smith-Schuster and Jackson spoke for several minutes, Trojans coach Clay Helton and offensive coordinator Tee Martin eventually convinced Smith-Schuster to return, though he did not participate in any drills afterwards.It was not the conventional way to build team morale, but might have been exactly what the Trojans needed after being demolished 52-6 by No. 1 Alabama.We got a mad football team right now. Wish we could play today to be honest with you. It was ultra-competitive out here today, which is a good sign as a head coach, Helton said. Id rather have it like that than the other. Saturday cant get here quick enough for us.Smith-Schuster wasnt the only one mad about an offensive performance in which USC did not score a touchdown for the first time since 1997 and was held to just 194 yards of total offense. An offensive line that returned the second-most career starts in the FBS allowed three sacks and nine tackles for loss. As the Crimson Tide was able to create consistent pressure with only four rushers, the defense could double-team Smith-Schuster, who had one reception for nine yards.Sometimes that first game lets you know where you are and where the holes are and what you got to fix, and for us it was kind of a blessing in disguise, Martin said. No, you dont want to lose in that way, you dont want to perform the way that we did, but it put the mirror in our face as to some things we got to work on and get better at.When asked what USC needed to improve on, Martin replied a lot of things.More troubling than the physical gap bbetween USC and the defending national champions was the lack of mental fortitude to match Alabama, running back Justin Davis said.ddddddddddddAfter cornerback Marlon Humphrey returned an interception 18 yards late in the first half to give Alabama a 17-3 lead, there was no belief that USC could mount a comeback.It just died down after that one mistake. We cant have that going forward, Davis said. We let the name Alabama get in our heads and then it took off. `Oh well, theyre too good. They are about to win the national championship. Thats not the case, I didnt believe at least. We had the team to go out there and compete against them for four quarters.Utah State, which travels to the Coliseum on Saturday, has the belief it can compete with USC after a 17-14 loss in 2013, a sentiment that was reinforced by the Trojans meek performance against Alabama.I definitely feel that we have an opportunity to go in there and win, Aggies defensive end Rick Aliifua said. To be quite honest, this time Im coming for blood.The intensity of Tuesdays practice was a positive sign to Davis that USC is rediscovering a winning outlook, Smith-Schusters scuffle and all.Its just that we need to keep having that something in our belly, the desire to want to be great, Davis said. I think were starting off this week great with that.Game notes LB Osa Masina and DE Don Hill will not play against Utah State, Helton said. Masina and Hill are under investigation for sexual assault, but neither player has been arrested or charged. The university is allowing Masina and Hill to attend classes, practice and participate in team meetings, Helton said. ' ' '
