Hes got a young team. They play hard. They play really aggressive defense, Willard said. I told him after the game, if your kids keep playing like that youre going to win a lot of games.Quinnipiac took an early 10-point lead before Rodriguez scored eight points in a 10-0 burst that jump-started Seton Hall, which outscored the Bobcats 36-19 over the final 14 minutes of the opening half to lead 46-39 at the break.The Pirates built the lead to 15 in the second half, but didnt finally put the game away until after Peter Kiss keyed a 13-0 run that enabled Quinnipiac to cut its deficit to 62-60.Kiss made two long 3-pointers in the burst and finished with 19 points. Daniel Harris had 18 points and Chaise Daniels added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Bobcats.The tournament so far has been a step in the right direction, Moore said. Weve been kind of thrown into the deep end of the pool against some incredible programs. Weve played much better down here than we did back home in our first two losses.Khadeen Carrington had 17 for Seton Hall after scoring a career-best 28 in the Pirates opening-round loss.BIG PICTURESeton Hall: The Pirates, who faded down the stretch in a loss to Florida in the opening round, havent lost consecutive games against nonconference opponents since November 2011.Quinnipiac: The Bobcats also played No. 11 Gonzaga close for 15 minutes on Thursday, trailing by one before the Bulldogs scored nine straight to pull away to a 20-point win.UP NEXTSeton Hall: Meets Stanford in the fifth-place game on Sunday night.Quinnipiac: Faces Indiana State for seventh place on Sunday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

Swell Schweiz . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. http://www.swellflascheschweiz.ch/hydro-flask-flasche.html . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Isadora Cerullo got no medal at these Olympics. A ring will have to suffice.Cerullo is a rugby player for Brazil and her team finished ninth at the Rio Games out of a 12-team field, well out of medal contention. When the competition was over, a venue manager walked onto the pitch and eventually got around to asking her a question.The manager was her girlfriend, Marjorie Enya. The question was will you marry me? And as others surrounded them and held red heart-shaped balloons, Cerullo said yes.Unlike the Sochi Games two years ago, where gay rights were called into question over anti-gay laws enacted by Russias government, the Rio Games seem to be increasingly tolerant by comparison. It hasnt been flawless -- for example, homophobic slurs were shouted by some in the stands at a U.S. womens soccer match as the games opened -- but theres certain signs of progress on the inclusion front.Thats what I hope for and I feel like our society is going in the right direction, said U.S. womens basketball star Elena Delle Donne, who came out and announced her engagement last week. Thats not a story. Its normal.The new normal, perhaps.Gay marriage is legal in Brazil, though tolerance seems far from universal. One gay rights group says that on average since 2013, about one LGBT person each day has been killed in Brazil. The organization called Grupo Gay da Bahia calls Brazil the world champion of crimes motivated by homophobia and-or transphobia.I know all the prejudice that exists in society against homosexuals, said 2012 Olympic beach volleyball bronze medalist Larissa Franca of Brazil, who is competing again in Rio. We dont choose our feelings, let alone control them.So far in these Olympics, there seems to be far more cheering than prejudice.Whether it was a transgender model appearing in the athletes parade at the opening ceremony, two men kissing during their leg of the torch relay along Copacabana Beach or the British womens field hockey team including two teammates who are married -- an Olympic first -- it has already been a games unlike any other for the LGBTQ community.A lot of support, Delle Donne said.Thats as the International Olympic Committee intended, too. After Sochi, the IOC required future Olympic host citiees to abide by rules that forbid any kind of discrimination, including with regard to sexual orientation. Hydro Flask Kinder. Its in the charter that we dont accept any discrimination on grounds of race or religion and sexuality is now included in that. But this kind of takes it even further, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said Tuesday. Its a celebration of that and certainly made me feel good this morning when I heard about the story. So its excellent, excellent news.Cerullos engagement quickly made global headlines given the stage on which it occurred. Enya appeared, gave a rather impassioned and emotional speech about how Cerullo is the love of her life, and the couple sealed the moment with a kiss.That certainly made her very happy, said Brazil rugby player Rachel Kochhann, one of Cerullos teammates. We felt this joy in our group.Outsports.com reported that there are at least 46 publicly known LGBT athletes in the Rio Games, the highest number of any Olympics. British diver Tom Daley won a bronze medal in the synchronized competition, with his fiance in the stands to cheer him on -- and whatever buzz that created didnt seem to overshadow the medal accomplishment whatsoever.Daley came out in 2013 and said hes never been happier.Im at my most consistent, Daley said. I feel ready physically, psychologically, everything, so Im really excited.Daley said the support hes gotten has been empowering, and British racewalker Tom Bosworth can relate. When Bosworth revealed his sexuality publicly last year, he said he was blown away by the support from those who already knew and people he never met.Its actually spurred me on, Bosworth said. Its actually given me more motivation. ... Now I feel like Im doing it for even more people than before.For Cerullo and Enya, it was an Olympic moment theyll never forget.The stadium was largely empty when Enya walked onto the grass with a microphone, volunteers gathered around as she spoke about what Cerullo means to her. The ring that Enya gave Cerullo was a simple piece of ribbon.Gold ribbon, that is. After all, it was at an Olympics.I wanted to show people, Enya said, that love wins.
