TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- UConns winning streak remains alive, just barely.Napheesa Collier scored 28 points and had a big block down in the final few seconds to lead the third-ranked Huskies to a 78-76 win over No. 12 Florida State on Monday night. UConn extended its winning streak to 76 games, the third longest streak in college basketball history.Florida State had a chance to beat the third-ranked Huskies at the end, but Imani Wrights 3-pointer was short allowing the four-time defending national champions to hold on in their opener.There are a lot of happy coaches that watched tonights game saying you got out of there with that one but your time is coming, coach Geno Auriemma said.This is the Huskies first single-digit win in the regular season since a six-point victory over St. Johns in 2013. It is also the first time since the 2011 Sweet 16 against Georgetown (68-63) that they have won by five points or less.The Seminoles trailed 65-59, but had a chance to tie it with 13.7 seconds left when Brittany Brown was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Kia Nurse. She made the first two to get within 77-76, but missed the third. The Huskies could not secure the ball and FSU (1-1) retained possession when it went out of bounds.Shakayla Thomas then drove the lane, but her shot was blocked Collier. Crystal Dangerfield made the first free throw, but missed the second. Imani Wright missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.I think this kind of woke us up and showed us that we are a different team than last year. We cant just win on talent. We have to play good, fundamental basketball, said Collier, who also had eight rebounds.Saniya Chong scored 16 points and Katie Lou Samuelson added 14 for the Huskies, whose winning streak sits only behind the team record of 90 straight set from 2008-10 and the UCLA mens record of 88 consecutive victories.Wright led Florida State with 25 points while Brown added 16 points and 10 rebounds.I wish we were sitting here obviously on the other side of this having won it, Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. We gave ourselves a chance. We got the ball into two great scorers at the end. Theres no moral victory here. The victory is our growth as our basketball team.BIG PICTUREUConn: Auriemma said before the game that this was a new world they were entering after the graduations of Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson. He also said he wasnt going to judge this team based on what happened in November, but considering they were able to hold on to win at the road, that has to give his team a little bit of confidence.Florida State: The Seminoles hung tough without starting point guard Leticia Romero, who missed her second straight game with a hamstring injury.TURNING POINTThe Huskies trailed by four at halftime and then were down 37-30 with 9:08 remaining in the third quarter, which is the largest deficit they have faced during the winning streak. They then went on a 14-2 run to take a five-point lead. The Seminoles would tie it three more times in the second half but could never take the lead.Collier and Chong each scored four points during the run while Samuelson had a 3-pointer at the end.It was a miracle we were down four at halftime. They (Florida State) got everything they wanted in the first half. If we were down 14 that might have been the end, Auriemma said.STAT OF THE NIGHTFlorida State had 16 offensive rebounds but could rarely convert as it was 26 of 72 from the field. That translated to UConn having a 30-24 edge in points in the paint and 12-7 advantage in second-chance points.POLL IMPLICATIONSUConns tough week will continue with second-ranked Baylor up next on Thursday and another road game Sunday against LSU. Florida State might drop a spot or two from 12th, but proved it can stand with the best teams in the country.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies will have their home opener on Thursday against No. 2 Baylor. UConn is 53-10 against teams in the top 10 since the start of 2008-09 season.Florida State: The Seminoles continue a string of four straight home games to start the season on Thursday against Jacksonville.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy Draymond Green Jersey .5 seconds to play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of there with a win.

Ky Bowman Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. The Olympics give us inspiring stories of athletes from around the world who battle and overcome so much to compete for medals. So many athletes have such incredible backstories to follow. Unfortunately, there also are usually negative topics leading into the Olympics that can stoke unnecessary concerns and fears.I think whenever you go to a major sporting event, like the Olympics or the Super Bowl, there is always some major controversy, 2012 gold medalist hurdler Aries Merritt said. Like London. Oh, theyre not going to be ready. They dont have the staff. And it was the best Olympic Games. I think there is always something that goes on every time the Olympics rolls around. In Tokyo who knows what will happen. Oh, theres a nuclear issue.There is always something.And heading into the Rio Olympics, one of those somethings has been the threat of the mosquito-borne Zika virus. So much so that I am constantly asked by friends whether I am worried about going to Rio for the Games. Researchers at Adobe found that Americans are expressing four times more concern over Zika via social media than those in any other country.Zika is a serious issue for those who live in a country where it is a problem 365 days a year. Because of that, we should help financially support research efforts to eradicate the virus and reduce its spread in Brazil and other nations.But is the threat of acquiring Zika a major concern for those just visiting Brazil during the Olympics? Not nearly as much as it has been made to seem.For one thing, August is Rios winter, so mosquitoes are not as prevalent there as during the rest of the year and the infection rate has dropped. Taking that into account, Swedish epidemiologist Mikkel Quam researched Zika and estimated that only four percent of the people - athletes, family, fans, etc. - traveling to the Olympics will get bitten by a mosquito carrying Zika, and that the chances of a person actually getting infected with the disease during that stretch is 1 in 31,000. Americans, meanwhile, are three times more likely to be killed in a car crash in the United States.UCLAs Dr. Neil Silverman says he isnt sure whether Quams estimates are accurate but says that the chances of getting Zika are relatively low.dddddddddddd According to Silverman, even those who do get the virus have only a 20 percent chance of developing any symptoms.For the most part, this is not going to be a serious illness if you do get it, Silverman said. Mostly fever, rash, joint muscle pains, pink eye. And these symptoms tend to be mild and last a few days to a week. Severe disease is extremely low.If Quams estimates are correct - and again, they are just estimates -- that would mean the chances of getting sick from Zika are roughly 1 in 156,000.If you do get the virus, Silverman says, you will become immune to it within a couple weeks. At that point, women will not pass it on. Men could, however, if the virus gets into the prostate. Even so, they would only be able to transmit the virus through their semen for possibly six months.When I read about an athlete who doesnt want to go to Brazil because he might be planning a family a couple years from now, that to me is overkill, Silverman said.The most horrid aspect of Zika is when it gets into the fetus of a pregnant woman and possibly lead to brain malformations in the child. Because of that concern, the Centers for Disease Control recommends that if a man who may have Zika has sex with a partner, he should wear a condom for six months, after which he would be safe from infecting.Whether anyone returning from the Olympics shows any signs of Zika or not, the CDC and Silverman say it is important to spray mosquito repellent on your body for three weeks following the return from Brazil (and, obviously, while in Rio as well). Not to keep from spreading it to other people, but to prevent a mosquito from biting you and then spreading the disease here or some other country.Again, Zika is a virus that needs to be eradicated. But the media has over-hyped the chances of athletes and visitors getting it during the 17 days of the Olympics. Could something bad happen in Rio?No one can ever predict the future for what will happen in Rio in August - or your own city. But that doesnt mean we should let ourselves be overcome by the contagion of fear. ' ' '
