Conn. UCLA has a chance to recover with the next two games at home and could stay in the top 10 with a couple of wins.BIG BOA

Australias Lucas Browne, who was stripped of a heavyweight world title belt following a positive drug test earlier this year, has enrolled in the WBCs Clean Boxing Program, which is overseen by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, as he continues to insist that he did not knowingly take any banned substances.Im proud to announce that I am now part of the Clean Boxing Program, which is being run by the WBC and VADA, Browne said. By voluntarily enrolling in this program I am able to be randomly (blood or urine) tested at any time, 365 days of the year.Browne, 37, rallied for a 10th-round knockout of Ruslan Chagaev on March 5 in Grozny, Russia, to win the WBAs secondary world title, making him the first Australian to win a heavyweight title. However, Brownes A and B samples both tested positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance, after the fight, and he was eventually stripped of the belt and suspended for six months by the WBA.Browne has maintained all along that he never knowingly took a banned substance, and he and his team believe his food or water was spiked while he was in hostile territory for the fight.?He was randomly tested by VADA when he arrived in Grozny and that test came back negative.Browne (24-0, 21 KOs, although the win against Chagaev could be changed to a no-contest) said enrolling in the WBCs new program was an easy decision to make.I have absolutely no issues with this, as I am a clean athlete and I believe boxing needs this kind of regulation, Browne said. I welcome this aspect of safety for the sport of boxing. I despise all drugs, whether they be performance-enhancing or recreational.Having always been a clean athlete, I am totally opposed to any form of doping. Ive always felt that cheaters in professional boxing should be banned for life. With 21 KOs in my 21 victories, Im of the same opinion as [heavyweight titleholder] Deontay Wilder -- if I was ever to use PEDs, I might end up killing someone.Matt Clark, who manages Browne, said that he hopes by becoming Australias first fighter to volunteer for the program it will start a trend.Lucas is Australias premier boxer and resents drugs of any kind, Clark said. We hope that other fighters from around the world join Lucas and sign up for the program. Anything that makes boxing safer is a good thing.Juan Bernhardt Mariners Jersey .

Tim Beckham Mariners Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football.WACO, Texas -- Kalani Brown is 20 pounds lighter this season, and Baylors 6-foot-7 sophomore post player is moving smoothly up and down the court. And shes dominating on both ends for the second-ranked Lady Bears.Brown set career highs with 25 points, 19 rebounds and six assists and Baylor took over after halftime on way to an 84-70 victory over ninth-ranked UCLA on Monday night.My game is elevated, said Brown, the Louisiana native who said she ate healthier and worked extra throughout the offseason. Being able to take off getting my second wind, it feels really good.UCLA coach Cori Close put it simply: Kalani Brown was a hand full.Baylor had trailed 48-41 at halftime, but got even in the first 2 minutes of the third quarter. Alexis Prince hit a 3-pointer before Alexis Jones and Brown each had baskets, and assisted each other.Up by only two going to the fourth quarter, a layup by Jones soon after that started a 14-0 run over a 5-minute span for the Lady Bears (2-0). That spurt included a 13-foot straight-up jumper for Brown, who finished 12-of-15 shooting.Asked if it was the kind of overall game she expected of Brown, who also matched her career high with five blocked shots, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey responded, Yes, quite frankly. ... Kalani was one of the guys in the Oregon State game at the end of the year that wasnt afraid to get in there and bang with you. Yeah, thats why she stayed on the floor.Jordin Canada led UCLA (1-1) with 23 points, while Monique Billings had 16 points with 10 rebounds. Kari Korver had 13 points.Preseason All-America forward Nina Davis, Prince and Jones each had 15 points for Baylor. All played the entire second half, when Baylor outscored UCLA 43-22, and Kristy Wallace played the entire game.Our defense, not only picked it up in intensity, we just had positioning where we were smarter, Mulkey said. And I just think that you went with the most experienced, veteran players that could produce in a big game.BIG PICTUREUCLA: While the Bruins played like a top-10 team most of the first half, they just didnt have a big body to match up with Brown.dddddddddddd. After six 3-pointers (on 15 shots), helped UCLA take as much as an 11-point lead in the first half, they were 0-for-7 from long range after halftime. They came out in the second half and exerted their will, Close said of Baylor.Baylor: With consecutive games against top-10 opponents Mulkey leaned on the returning players. The three freshmen for the Lady Bears are going to be standout players, but Lauren Cox was 0-for-4 shooting with two rebounds in 4 minutes, and Natalie Chou was 0-for-1 with two rebounds in 12 minutes. Juicy Landrum didnt even play. All three got significant action in the season-opening rout over Houston Baptist.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor certainly lived up to its No. 2 ranking against another top-10 team, and gets another quick test at No. 3 UConn. UCLA has a chance to recover with the next two games at home and could stay in the top 10 with a couple of wins.BIG BOARDSThe Lady Bears had a 52-25 rebounding edge. Take out Browns 19 (including eight offensive boards), and Baylor still would have a 33-25 advantage.MAYBE IN MARCH?All the credit to Baylor, they showed great experience and poise, and I hope we get to play them again, Close said.REALLY, COACHWhen Mulkey was asked how blunt she was with her halftime message, she said, Its too early in the year to get ugly with them. Brown had a grin on her face when she rolled her eyes. Asked if she was getting soft, Mulkey then replied, Im just mellowing in my old age.UP NEXTUCLA returns home to play at home twice in three days. The Bruins play Southern University on Friday, then host Cal Poly on Sunday.Baylor hits the road for the first time and plays another top-10 opponent. The Lady Bears play Thursday at third-ranked UConn. ' ' '
