d-medal worthy if she can repeat it in Rio.Raismans spot ended a remarkable resurgence in recent months. She had a forgettable performance at the world

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky, the newly crowned No. 1 team in America, puts that ranking and its unbeaten season on the line when Cleveland State visits Rupp Arena on Wednesday afternoon.Just dont look for coach John Calipari to be chanting, Were No. 1! coming out the locker room.Weve got to get more consistency, more discipline, Calipari said. Im just saying its a process thats going to take time.For the first time this season, Calipari started four freshmen against Duquesne on Sunday night.These guys, were four games in, and you got to understand, its like their high school season, Calipari said. They never worked like this. Its not just the games. Every practice theyre going at each other. They have never done that before.They were by far the best high school player on their team, they practiced when they felt like it. Doesnt mean they didnt work, but they practiced against a guy that couldnt guard them. Now, theyre in this gym, and youre going against another guy that can play. And its every day. And were not letting up as a staff.Through the 4-0 start, Kentucky is led in scoring by sophomore guard Isaiah Briscoe at 18 points per game. Next comes the four freshman starters -- Malik Monk (15.8), DeAaron Fox (15.3), Bam Adebayo (9.3) and Wenyen Gabriel (6.3). Adebayo is the teams top rebounder at 6.3.As a team, the strongest indicator might be turnover margin. Kentucky forced 84 turnovers, but only committed 48. Thats 21 forced turnovers per game. On offense, UK is outscoring opponents by an average count of 86-60.The Vikings are 1-2 with a victory over Canisius 67-64 and losses to Kent State 79-74 and Tennessee-Martin 85-74.Sophomore guard Rob Edwards leads Cleveland State at 17 points per game while freshman guard Kasheem Thomas is tops with 6.3 assists and 6-7 sophomore forward Jibri Blount leads in rebounding at 5.7.Kentucky, Cleveland State, Canisius, Duquesne and UT Martin are all participating in the Bluegrass Showcase, a loosely aligned round-robin event spread over the first two weeks of the season.Kentucky also already defeated Canisius and Duquesne and faces UT Martin on Friday night in Lexington.They understand what were looking to do, where we have to be by the time February hits, Calipari said. Our discipline defensively is not what it needs to be. Were not running gaps. We took shots that we never work on. Like invented shots. Thats just lack of discipline.Thats the normal process you go through with young guys. They just dont have the discipline to play every possession to be graded. Did we do the whole possession until they shot? Did we rebound, did we block out, all of it, did we finish the possession? I would say, No, not on this team right now. Were not able to go seven perfect possessions. Dont worry if they score. Did we play it the right way? Were not disciplined enough right now. Dick McGuire Jersey .

Bailey Howell Jersey .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Simone Biles can officially book that plane ticket for Brazil. Same for defending Olympic champion Gabby Douglas.Biles, the three-time world gymnastics champion, secured her spot on the U.S. Olympic team with a near flawless tour of the SAP Center on Sunday night, earning an automatic berth on the five-woman team by strolling to the all-around title at the Olympic Trials.Biles will be joined in Rio de Janeiro by Douglas, three-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez. MyKayla Skinner, Ragan Smith and Ashton Locklear are the alternates.While Biles has been a lock for months, the path to the Olympics was far murkier for Douglas. A revelation in London four years ago, the 20-year-old has struggled with her form in recent weeks and fell off balance beam for a second straight night while finishing seventh behind Biles.But she finished third on uneven bars behind Kocian and Locklear, and national team coordinator Martha Karolyi has long believed in Douglas ability to turn it up when the pressure is on.Biles, who hasnt lost in more than three years, posted a two-day total of 123.250. The trials put an end to three-plus years of anticipation for the electrifying 19-year-old, who has rapidly developed from bouncy prodigy to arguably the greatest gymnast of all-time.The only thing missing on a resume that includes 14 world championship medals and four national titles is Olympic gold. She will head to Rio as the heavy favorite to become the fourth straight American to stand atop the podium at the end of the all-around finals on Aug. 11, the brightest star on a squad that is very much the gymnastics equivalent of the Michael Jordan-led Dream Team that overwhelmed the 1992 Games.Yet the moment Biles has spent her entire career training foor didnt quite go as planned.dddddddddddd. Sure, she was spectacular at times -- particularly on vault where her score of 16.2 included a 9.9 mark for execution. She also stepped out of bounds during her floor exercise and hopped off the beam following a rare mistake.While her lead was never in danger -- and really, it hasnt been since the summer of 2013 -- theres little doubt the missteps will linger with Biles as she prepares for Brazil.The Americans havent lost a major international competition in six years, the gap between themselves and the rest of the world hardening along the way. Anything less than sending Karolyi into retirement with gold would be a Miracle On Ice-level upset.The only real drama heading into the final night of trials centered on who would join Biles. The precocious 16-year-old Hernandez -- who admits shes too naive to know any better -- continued her rapid ascension to perhaps the best threat to Biles long run at the top. Her best event is the balance beam, a 45-second test of nerves that she treats like a workout on the beach. Her score of 15.7 is gold-medal worthy if she can repeat it in Rio.Raismans spot ended a remarkable resurgence in recent months. She had a forgettable performance at the world championships last fall -- failing to make an individual event final -- and seemed to be in the middle of the pack as recently as March.Not anymore. The 22-year-old -- the oldest member of the team -- stormed her way through two run-up events to trials and kept it going on Sunday night.Kocian, a world champion on uneven bars, rode the strength of a 15.9 on Sunday night to give herself just enough breathing room over Locklear.
