RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rallying from 18 down in the third quarter is big in any game. Doing it in the Olympics is pretty special. Guard Kia Nurse put on an impressive show to spark Canadas comeback in womens basketball on Monday, showing she is nearly completely healthy in just her fifth game back from surgery.Very healthy indeed.She scored 25 points off Canadas bench as the Canadians rallied to stun Serbia 71-67. Nurse, who had sports hernia surgery after helping the UConn Huskies win a fourth straight national title in April, came through with the Canadians needing someone to start making shots.I said after the game, `Welcome back, Canada coach Lisa Thomaidis said. Tremendous effort. Shes such a competitor, theres no one tougher out there. When the games on the line when your team needs someone shes going to step it up and you certainly saw that today.The Canadians (2-0) needed Nurse, a guard who will be a junior in coach Geno Auriemmas UConn program this fall. She had 10 points in the first half, and added nine more in the third to start the scoring for the Canadians with 5:52 left in the third and her team trailing 52-34.Nurse said she feels really good with the pain in her groin all gone. That allowed her to attack the basket and knock down a handful of jumpers.This was a game we really wanted to win, Nurse said. When we play in desperation mode, which we were playing in today, were really, really good.Nayo Raincock-Ekunwes three-point play put Canada ahead to stay, 68-67 with 48.4 seconds left, to finish off the amazing rally. With fans chanting Ca-na-da through much of the fourth quarter as Canada simply smothered and outscored Serbia 26-10 in the fourth quarter.Thomaidis called it a massive win coming against last years European champion.Really proud of this team, the Canadian coach said. We knew the game plan. We didnt execute it in the first half. We got back to it in the second half a little bit more. Had to switch some things up completely since we werent doing them. Give the team credit for executing down the stretch. We hit some big hoops when we needed to.Nurse drove to the basket then passed out to Miah-Marie Langlois for the clinching 3 with 8.7 seconds left for her fifth assist.Serbia (0-2) will regret this missed opportunity in its Olympic debut, especially after some ugly turnovers in the fourth quarter in the face of Canadas defensive pressure.

Cheap Custom Rockies Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. WACO, Texas -- With a coach named Briles still calling the plays, and Seth Russell throwing touchdown passes, Baylors offense certainly looked very familiar.Russell threw four touchdown passes in less than a half, and the No. 23 Bears beat FCS team Northwestern State 55-7 on Friday night in their first game since the sudden dismissal of coach Art Briles just more than three months ago.It felt like Baylor, said Russell, who took the calls from offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, the former coachs son.Two-time Big 12 Conference champion coach Art Briles lost his job in the wake of a May report from an external investigation into allegations the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.Acting head coach Jim Grobe retained the rest of the staff, and had no issues with the younger Briles having the initials CAB written on his hand -- presumably for Art Briles.To think about him losing Art as his head coach ... it had to be tougher on KB than anybody, Grobe said. I have no problems with that whatsoever. If you dont love your dad, somethings wrong.Kendal Briles wasnt available for comment since Baylor isnt making assistant coaches available to speak to the media this season.Russell was the top-rated FBS passer when he suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game last year. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 163 yards with TDs to four receivers, including two tight ends. The Bears led 41-0 when he threw his last pass, a 10-yard TD pass to Pooh Stricklin with five minutes left in the first half.All for it, hes who brought me here. He gave me opportunity and I love him for it, Russell said when asked about Kendal Briles tribute. Coach Grobe did a fantastic job of stepping into a risky situation. Hes done a great job of handling it, and hes been staying positive the entire time.THE TAKEAWAYNorthwestern State: Really, the outcome should have been no surprise. Northwestern State had lost its previous four meetings against Baylor by an average margin of 50 points, including 70-6 two years ago. Brooks Haack, the second graduate transfer in a row to start for the Demons, was under constant pressure and completed only 3 of 13 passes for 14 yards, but he did run 3 yards for their only score.Baylor: The Bears, who are down to about 70 scholarship players, got some valuable playing time for true freshman quarterback Zach Smith and plenty of other non-starters, including third-teamers on offense and defense after halftime.dddddddddddd Smith went through spring practice after graduating high school early, and was thrust into the role as backup when Jarrett Stidham left Baylor this summer. Smith was 5-of-7 passing for 60 yards and a touchdown, and two other freshmen got into the game as well.The defense was overwhelming, holding Northwestern State to 78 total yards, but it will get a much tougher test against SMU, where Bears defensive coordinator Phil Bennett was once the head coach.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor: Dont look for the Bears to make much of a move in the poll. Sure, they could move up a spot or two if other teams ranked above them lose, but a 48-point victory against an FCS team isnt likely to overly impress voters.KEY NUMBERSBaylor had 498 total yards (275 rushing, 223 passing). ... Terence Williams ran a Baylor-high 11 times for 72 yards and two touchdowns. ... Shock Linwood, who ran nine times for 97 yards, is 107 yards shy of becoming Baylors career rushing leader. Walter Abercrombies record of 3,665 yards has stood for 35 years. ... The last time two Baylor tight ends caught TD passes in the same game was Sept. 8, 2007, when Justin Akers had two TDs and Brad Taylor one in a 42-17 win vs. Rice. ... The Bears led 48-0 at the half, when Northwestern State had 3 total yards and eight punts.UP NEXTNorthwestern State: The Demons have never been competitive against Baylor. So they just have to move forward and get ready for their Southland Conference opener at home Sept. 8 against Incarnate Word.Coming out in the second half, offensively, defensively, we were able to do some things, Demons coach Jay Thomas said. Baylor, theyre really good, man.Baylor: After easing into the season against a lower-division opponent, the Bears stay home next week against SMU. It is the first of consecutive games against former Southwest Conference rivals (the Mustangs and Rice) who are still in the field of candidates for possible Big 12 expansion. ' ' '
