Oklahoma State had rallied from a nine-point deficit to take the lead in the final five minutes before Franklin, who had scored just two points all game, drained three contested 3-pointers in just under three minutes to put Baylor in control. After the third triple, Royce ONeal stole the ball and took it in for a dunk to give Baylor a 74-67 edge with 37 seconds to play. Baylor led 21-15 in the first half before Brown hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to give the Cowboys a jolt. Kamari Murphy, who averages 5.8 points per game, scored three baskets in 2:20 to help the Cowboys tie the score at 27. Gathers converted a 3-point play, then dunked to give Baylor a 32-29 edge. Oklahoma State had a chance to take the lead at halftime, but Smart was called for his second foul on a post-up with 3.9 seconds left in the first half, and Baylor led 32-31 at the break. Oklahoma State shot 52 per cent in the first half but was outrebounded 17-12, missed four of nine free throws and committed nine turnovers. The Cowboys finally took the lead on a pair of free throws by Brian Williams in the opening minutes of the second half, but Baylor gained it right back on a 3-point play by Austin. Smart bounced the ball off a players back while inbounding, caught it, then scored and was fouled. The free throw gave the Cowboys a 41-40 lead. Baylor responded with a 6-0 run, including two baskets by Jefferson, to take a 46-41 lead, and the Bears extended that edge to 55-46 on a baseline jumper by Jefferson with just over 10 minutes to play. Oklahoma State continued to battle. Smart stole the ball and went for a layup, but Baylors 6-foot-8, 270-pound Gathers hit him hard on the way to the hoop and was called for a Flagrant 1 foul. Smart made both free throws with 7:09 remaining to cut the Bears lead to two, then on the extra possession, Smart found Brown on a lob for a two-handed dunk to tie the score at 57. Smart finally gave the Cowboys a 64-63 lead on two free throws with just over four minutes to play. Matt Adams Jersey .

Its a condition that causes painful blistering of fragile skin.Unable to participate in sports, Flamenco discovered and developed his artistic talents during his time receiving treatments in hospital. He presented Edney with a helmet adorned with a ferocious bear and claws raking the sides of the helmet on Friday.The inspiration this helmet is going to be give me on my runs this weekend, I cant explain, Edney said. I put the helmet on and I immediately feel this power that overcomes me and its going to be really cool.I was actually at his house and watching him meticulously paint this helmet stroke by stroke. It filled me with something I cant describe. Its going to be an emotional weekend, but its going to be a very powerful weekend where Im going to feel unstoppable when I have this helmet on.Flamenco knew Edney liked bears and sea otters, so he started his creative process from those concepts.I think I had seven different ideas for this helmet. To really focus and pick one was really hard, Flamenco said.The one that really caught my eye — I was at home doing sketches on paper just to see how it might turn out — the one that really caught my eye was the bear kind of chomping on the top and scratching the sides of the helmet.Edney will wear the helmet in Saturdays race only. It will then be auctioned off on www.helmets4heroes.ca with the proceeds going to the Alberta Childrens Hospital.The foundation is the brainchild of alpine skier Brad Spence, who retired earlier this year after competing for Canada in both the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games.The 30-year-old raced in Sochi, Russia, in February wearing a helmet designed by Gillian OBlenes-Kaufman. Spence met the teenager just over a year ago when she was hospitalized with osteosarcoma, which is bone cancer.When I wore it in Sochi, it was so much more powerful than the Olympic message itself, Spence said. I was able to bring her along the journey with me.OBlenes-Kaufman died Monday in Calgary at the age of 18. Spence will attend her funeral Saturday. He had gifted the helmet back to OBlenes-Kaufman as a weddingg present before her death.dddddddddddd He began thinking he could turn their experience into something more.Her smile is something Ill never forget, Spence said. I realized this is a unique opportunity for me to give back to the community around me beyond sport.It was an opportunity to connect athletes to the community on such a personal level and create strong bonds between the athlete and the child battling something.For me the focus was on the children and providing them a long-term positive goal to look forward to and hopefully give them a little hope during a tremendously difficult period of their life.Spence is in the middle of an intensive year-long Bachelor of Commerce program at Royal Roads University, but felt he couldnt wait to launch the project.In addition to individual causes like the childrens hospital, hed like to see money raised by Helmets For Heroes to eventually tie into helmet safety and concussion awareness.By the 2018 Olympics, Id love to see an athlete from every helmet-wearing sport have a Canadian representative for Helmets For Heroes, Spence said.Ive love to grow this thing internationally and start looking at other sports and even tying in the military. Theres lots of helmets there. I see some really unique parallels between a project like Helmets Four Heroes and the heroes are the Canadian military.Edney and his Canadian teammates finished agonizingly close to an Olympic medal in the new relay event in Sochi, but settled for fourth. The 30-year-old Calgarian placed 11th in mens singles.A sports hernia kept Edney out of the first two World Cup races this season, so his first will be Saturday at Canada Olympic Park.The helmet was unveiled and Helmets Four Heroes was launched by Flamenco, Edney and Spence at an outdoor news conference beside the gourmet grocery store where Edney works in the summer.Flamenco intends to be at Saturdays race. Hell looked forward to feeling part of an international sports event.When I was young, I always watched baseball games and hockey games and all my friends at school would always go out after school and play soccer in the field or even during recess. I would never be able to play those games, he said. When I was in the hospital . . . the thing I always ended up doing was doodling, drawing, sketching and I always just found that was my happy place when I was in the hospital.When I found out these guys wanted me to design something for a sport, yes definitely, I guess I am part of a sport in a certain way.
