CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Austin Nichols is one of several new players that figures prominently in the rotation for No. 8 Virginia, and while he arrived as a transfer from Memphis with a reputation as a gifted offensive player, hes adapted quickly to Tony Bennetts defensive philosophy.I think we can be a pretty good team, Nichols said after leading Virginia with 11 points in a 72-32 rout of St. Francis Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Weve just to continue focusing on defense.The Cavaliers (2-0) looked in midseason form at the other end of the floor, holding the Terriers of the Northeast Conference scoreless for a stretch of more than 10 minutes in the first half. Virginia scored 20 consecutive points in that stretch to open a 35-11 lead.The Cavaliers dont have a go-to scoring option so far, and even if one surfaces, Bennett said their focus will always be the same.I think this team understands that were going to have to be so good defensively, he said. Thats going to be our ticket.The Terriers (0-2) ended the drought on two free throws by Yunus Hopkinson with 7.8 seconds left in the half.These games do one of two things for you. They either make you stronger or break you, Terriers coach Glenn Braica said.Glenn Sanabria led St. Francis with 10 points and Gunnar Olafsson had seven.Nichols, who missed Virginias two preseason scrimmages and season-opener at UNC Greensboro while serving a suspension for violating a team rule, scored on an array and shots around the basket. Jarred Reuter added nine points and London Perrantes, Marial Shayok and Mamadi Diakite each had eight for Virginia. All 11 scholarship players for the Cavaliers scored and grabbed at least one rebound.The Terriers finished 11 for 48 from the field, 22.9 percent.BIG PICTURESt. Francis: The Terriers attempted 16 3-pointers in the first half and made just one, which is not the recipe for a team from the Northeast Conference to challenge a ranked or Power Five-level school. Having already lost at North Carolina State, they continue an early season gauntlet at Providence next Monday.Virginia: The early-season indoctrination of youth into coach Tony Bennetts lineup continued as freshmen Kyle Guy (21 minutes) and Ty Jerome (10) each got significant playing time and Diakite, a redshirt freshman, played 14.THE DOWN LOWNichols has plenty of company up front in 6-11 Jack Salt, 6-9 Diakite and 6-7 Reuter, and all made contributions.Jack started and had six points and two rebounds, Reuter and Diakite each grabbed four rebounds and Diakite had a block.Me and Manadi are more like finesse players, Nichols said, and the Bruise Brothers, Jarred and Jack, theyre the bangers inside.BULLSEYEVirginia walk-on Justice Bartley was one of three walk-ons who entered the game for Virginia with about 2 minutes to play, and Bennett was thrilled to see the sophomore score his first collegiate basket on a layup with 30 seconds remaining.HE SAID ITI think its $60,000, or $80,000. -- St. Francis Brooklyn coach Glenn Braica when asked what his team gets from facing Virginia.UP NEXTSt. Francis travels north to play at Providence next Monday night.Virginia continues a three-game home-stand with a visit from Yale on Sunday.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- One year ago at world championships in Beijing, American middle-distance runner Jenny Simpson crossed the finish line of the 1,500 meters and then walked to the far side of the track to retrieve her left shoe. With 700 meters left in the race, a competitor had clipped Simpsons heel, causing her shoe to fly off and, despite her best efforts to hold onto second place, she finished a disappointing 11th.On Tuesday night at the Olympic Stadium, Simpson walked to the same spot on the track where her shoe had lain waiting for her one year ago. Except this time, she was draped in an American flag and celebrating having just become the first American woman to medal in the 1,500 meters at the Olympics. I was doing my postrace lap and stopped to see my parents, and I realized they were in the spot where one year ago I was picking up my shoe, Simpson said after taking bronze. This will always be a really special moment for me.For the past year, Simpson has used her uniform malfunction as motivation, telling herself, In Beijing, I closed in 2:05 with one shoe on. If someone jumps and goes in the final, who knows what I can do with two shoes?In sixth place with one lap to go Tuesday night, Simpson, shoes intact, began reeling in the leaders one by one and was in fourth entering the homestretch. The last 400 meters is always gut-wrenching, Simpson said Tuesday. I thrive on that.In the final 100 meters, as Kenyas Faith Kipyegon (4:08.92) sprinted to overtake world-record holder Genzebe Dibaba (4:10.27) of Ethiopia for the win, Simpson chased from behind and almost overtook Dibaba for second. She ran her last 800 meters in 1:59, faster than any 800 she has run in her life, to finish in 4:10.53.My coaches gave me a mantra coming into this race, said Simpson, who turns 30 next week. Position the first two laps, and the second two laps, be a predator. Ive had races where I went to the front and was a protagonist in the race and made something happen. But they knew it would be best for me if I was in a position to see the medals and run them down.They said, Whenever someone jumps to the front, go with them, look at where the medals are and go get them. My last 300 meters is the best demonstration of the combination of their wisdom and me executing on what they told me to do. The last 100 meters, when I was running my guts out, that was mmy favorite part of the race.ddddddddddddhe day before finals, Simpson posted on Twitter, Im not here to race against peoples past performances. Im here to race them.It was a way to reset her mind, to look forward instead of backward and to focus on herself instead of the women she was running against. Simpson has been one of a vocal minority willing to speak out about what its like to run clean against women she believes are taking PEDs, even calling out Dibaba, whose coach was arrested in June on suspicion of possessing banned substances.I think you know a tree by the fruit that it bears, Simpson said after Sundays qualifying run. If a tree bears sour fruit, the fruit around it are likely infected. I think if WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) is on the case, theyll find what they need to find. I hope so.While not speaking about Dibaba or any of her competitors directly Tuesday, Simpson said more than in any other race of her career, she did not allow herself to assign emotion or names to the 11 women in the starting blocks with her. They were simply bodies she wanted to see cross the finish line after she did.It was just my way of saying, whatever my PR [personal record] is relative to everyone else coming into this race, they are just one of 11 to me tonight, Simpson said. And I want to be the first one across the finish line.Simpson, competing in her third Games, added her first Olympic medal to a 2011 world championship title in the 1,500. When asked by a reporter how she felt about being referred to as the greatest American female 1,500-meter runner of all time and one of the greatest American middle-distance runners ever, Simpson said it felt incredible.I want to be someone this country can be really proud to cheer for, she said. This has been a long ride of highs and lows, and hopefully every American watching my race tonight feels like they can take a small piece of ownership in this medal. It makes me feel amazing because Ive done it honestly and clean and with everything that is just inside my own body being expressed out on the track. And to me, thats beautiful.For Simpson, that knowledge allows her to leave Rio proud of what she accomplished rather than waiting around for the other shoe to drop. ' ' '
