OMAHA, Neb. Jason Taylor Womens Jersey . -- The decisive third game of the College World Series finals between Arizona and Coastal Carolina was postponed Wednesday night until Thursday because of stormy weather.First pitch is set for 1:08 p.m. ET on ESPNU.Rain and lightning in the area forced a delay of 2 hours, 23 minutes Wednesday before the postponement was announced.More rain was forecast after midnight, which could have forced another delay if the game started after 10 p.m. locally.I think they decided thats probably not whats best for the players, Arizona coach Jay Johnson said.Arizona (49-23) won 3-0 on Monday in the opening game of the best-of-three series. The Chanticleers (54-18), seeking their first national title, won 5-4 on Tuesday.Johnson and CCU coach Gary Gilmore said they agreed with the decision to play Thursday.Im very pleased, Gilmore said.The Chanticleers planned Wednesday to start junior right-hander Alex Cunningham over ace Andrew Beckwith. Gilmore said he hoped to get three innings from Cunningham, who has not worked as a reliever, before handing the ball to Beckwith.Beckwith, a 14-game winner, threw a complete-game shutout Friday against TCU.Junior right-handed Bobby Dalbec was set to start for Arizona. Dalbec pitched seven innings Saturday in the Wildcats win over Oklahoma State. The status of senior ace Nathan Bannister, who left Friday in the third inning against the Cowboys with arm soreness, remains unknown.I think it helps both teams, and I think thats probably whats best for both staffs and all guys throwing, Johnson said of the pitching situation. Well go back and look at it tonight and figure out if what we set out to do is still the best thing.This College World Series will set a record with 17 games played and extend to at least June 30, the latest date in the events 70-year history.

PETERSBURG, Fla. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Kevin Durant looks ready to lead a new group of Americans to the gold-medal podium.Durant picked up right where he left off in the 2012 Olympics with 25 points, and the U.S. mens basketball team routed China 119-62 on Saturday night in its opening game.The new Golden State Warriors star scored 30 points four years ago in the gold-medal game, when the Americans held off Spain for the championship. Only he and Carmelo Anthony returned from that team, but the new guys were plenty ready for their Olympic moment.We just wanted to send a statement to the rest of the world, Anthony said. Come out this first game and let everybody know that were focused, were locked in and were about business on this trip.DeMarcus Cousins added 17 points and Paul George 15 for the U.S., which is a heavy favorite to win a third straight gold and wont change any opinions after this performance.LeBron James and Chris Paul passed on searching for more gold with Durant and Anthony, and plenty more top players who would have been on this roster also declined. But coach Mike Krzyzewski said this squad has already bonded as much as any of the three U.S. teams he has led in the Olympics.Just because they arent here today, weve got another batch of guys thats walking around on the streets saying they want to win a gold medal and we all have something in common, Durant said. Its cool to have a fraternity of guys who have won a gold medal. Its rare.Durant was 10-for-14 from the field and made five 3-pointers.When you get hot, you want to see your bench get excited for you, Durant said. Thats better than making the shot, to be honest with you. When I saw my teammates get excited for me, that kept me going.Tougher competition might come later, but it should be an easy start for the Americans. They play again Monday against Venezuela, anoother team they beat easily in exhibition play. Mark Duper Womens Jersey. .Anthony finished with nine points and made history by becoming the first U.S. male to play basketball in four Olympics. He will become the first three-time gold medalist on the mens side if the U.S. wins.The 32-year-old veteran tied James and David Robinson by playing in his 24th game in the Olympics.The Americans beat the Chinese twice in exhibition play by scores of 106-57 and 107-57, and this one was even less competitive.Former NBA lottery pick Yi Jianlian had 25 points to open his fourth Olympics. No other players were in double figures for the Asian champions.As a matter of fact the result of this game was already kind of expected before the game even started, China coach Gong Luming said through an interpreter.Durant, Anthony, Cousins, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson started the game for the Americans, and all 12 players scored. They had 31 assists on their 38 baskets.The Chinese got on the board first with a pair of free throws, and it was tied at 4 after a basket by Yi. Then it was nine straight points for the Americans, who closed the first quarter with a 26-6 burst to lead 30-10.DeAndre Jordan shook the backboards inside Carioca Arena 1 with some of his powerful dunks, DeMar DeRozan had a couple, and in case the dunks were too easy, Irving knocked in four 3-pointers in the second half for his 12 points.There were flags waving and fans singing, the festive scene in the stands more interesting to watch than the game that wasnt competitive after the first few minutes.The U.S. was favored by about 50 points, so it wasnt supposed to be close.If the Americans keep playing like this, the Olympic competition may not be, either.
