COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When All-American forward AJa Wilson struggled to score and got saddled with fouls early in the third quarter, South Carolinas newest players came to the rescue.Transfer guards Kaela Davis and Allisha Gray combined for 61 points in their debuts and the No. 7 Gamecocks opened their season by defeating seventh-ranked Ohio State 92-80 on Monday.Davis, a two-time All-ACC selection and the conferences leading scorer in 2014-15 for Georgia Tech before transferring and sitting out last season, had 37 points. She scored seven points to help the Gamecocks go from a two-point lead to a 64-56 advantage in the third quarter.Sitting out a year was tough but we were excited to come in and play such a good team as Ohio State she said. To be able to get a win is a great start for us and me.Gray, a transfer from North Carolina, added 24 points for the Gamecocks, who beat the Buckeyes 88-80 at home to open last season. Alaina Coates had 10 points and 13 reboundsThe wait was worth it, Gray said. Its a great feeling to be back.Kelsey Mitchell led Ohio State (1-1) with 27 points despite picking up two fouls in the first quarter. Sierra Calhoun had 18 points and Shayla Cooper 15.Our defense wasnt up to par, Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said. When you play a great team like South Carolina, if youre not going to defend youre not going to win.The Gamecocks did their damage despite Wilson scoring only five points. She picked up her third foul with 5:10 remaining in the third and the Gamecocks up 52-48, but she remained in the game only to exit 40 seconds later on her fourth foul.Her absence paved the way for Davis and Gray, who had 22 and 14 points in the second half, respectively.With Wilson getting in foul trouble early that made it difficult to get the ball inside, Gray said. It was one of those games we had to apply ourselves and maybe take certain shots we wouldnt take in other games.NO SOLACEMitchell took no satisfaction in limiting Wilson to 11 points below her season average last season, I dont know how much you can talk about that because they still won and we didnt do good on defense.NOT SO FASTThe tempo was slower than what the teams displayed in their last meeting, in part because 51 fouls (29 to Ohio State) ruined the rhythm. Compared to last years game, that was like watching paint dry, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said.TIP-INSSouth Carolina: The Gamecocks began their 43rd season and the ninth under Staley.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Just as his friend and countryman Magomed Abdusalamov did three years and 10 days earlier, UFC lightweight contender Khabib The Eagle Nurmagomedov will enter Saturday nights UFC 205 undercard fight at Madison Square Garden undefeated, with a title shot in reach.But Abdusalamovs heavyweight boxing match against Mike Perez on Nov. 2, 2013, resulted in tragedy as the native of the Russian Republic of Dagestan developed a subdural hematoma during a brutal 10-round unanimous defeat, and he was left brain-damaged, partially paralyzed and unable to walk or talk.This week, amid preparations for his UFC lightweight bout against Michael Johnson, Nurmagomedov, 23-0, visited Abdusalamov, at his home in Connecticut.I lived near him in Makhachkala [Dagestans capital], hes a great man and I always visit him when I come to New York, Nurmagomedov told Outside the Lines. But Im very upset, because his condition has gotten worse.Nurmagomedov said Abdusalamovs mumbled communication was understandable to him a year ago, but wasnt on this visit.How much the 35-year-old Abdusalamov can comprehend is a mystery. His wife, Bakanay, told Outside the Lines through an interpreter that Mago is becoming increasingly passive about the physical and occupational therapy he receives several times a week.Even though were trying to continue everything, there are times he just lacks the motivation, she said. It really upsets me, but I cant give up, I keep reminding him what this is for.He listens, but I cant say what he understands.Bakanay, 30, said until recent months, she and their three daughters, ages 10, 7 and 3, would take Abdusalamov to the park in a wheelchair, but now he just wants to be in bed.The family has a pending lawsuit in the deposition stage, against the five New York State Athletic Commission doctors who worked the fight, as well as the referee and NYSAC inspector, alleging recklessness, gross negligence and medical malpractice. The state filed suit against five of Abdusalamovs former handlers, but two of their cases have been dismissed.Commission doctors sutured a laceration above Abdusalamovs eye postfight, examined hhim and indicated they suspected a facial fracture, but they did not send him to the hospital in an on-site ambulance.dddddddddddd After the fight inspector saw blood in Abdusalamovs urine sample, he suggested the boxers handlers take him by taxi to an emergency room. A nauseous and unsteady Abdusalamov underwent life-saving brain surgery, suffered multiple strokes and was in a coma for weeks.According to April 2015 court documents, Abdusalamovs medical bills had exceeded $2 million. He received $40,000 for that final fight and had the required $10,000 insurance coverage, his former promoter said.A report this July after a 32-month investigation by the New York State Inspector General ripped the NYSAC for its handling of Abdusalamov, detailed systemic problems with the commission and recommended measures for improved safety. And the state legislature, in legalizing mixed martial arts events for the first time, mandated increased insurance for combat sports, including $1 million policies covering traumatic brain injuries.On the changes his friends ill-fated bout are apparently bringing about, Nurmagomedov, 28, said, New York, after this situation, is becoming more careful, but it should have been better before, for Mago.Said Bakanay: I really hope something like this doesnt happen to anyone else and I really dont want someone to be in this condition or have a family endure something like this. I dont wish this on anybody.With respect to the bleak prognosis for her husbands condition to improve, she said, the hope is still there, Im not going to lose it, I cant lose it -- I want him to regain some level of independence and resume his role as father and husband.Nurmagomedov, a devout Muslim, as are the Abdusalamovs, posted a photo on his Facebook page from this weeks visit, for which the UFC fighters manager and several friends accompanied him. It also says, We make #Dua for his health -- dua is a prayer to Allah.I worry about this, only God knows the future, Nurmagomedov said. ' ' '
