TORONTO -- For the second time in as many games, a big fourth quarter saved the day for Canada. While Brady Heslip broke the game open in Thursdays victory over Jamaica, Andy Rautins got in on the action Saturday, scoring eight of his 11 points in the final quarter. Rautins came up big as Canada stormed back from a 17-point deficit to defeat Jamaica 77-72 and complete a sweep of the Jack Donohue International Classic. "As a leader on the team, as an older veteran a guy on the team, thats the role I need to play," Rautins said. "To bring that energy, to bring that shooting. Thats what we did tonight and we gutted it out and got a great win." Desperate for scoring in the fourth quarter, head coach Jay Triano paired Rautins with Brady Heslip in hopes of stretching the floor with two shooters in the lineup. It paid off. "Andys a scorer and we needed points," Triano said. "We had planned before this game on not playing him in the first half, we needed to look at other guys, but in the second half we knew that if they played zone wed need those two guys." Playing without Samardo Samuels, who missed the game with a tweaked hamstring, Jamaica looked like a different team than Thursdays iteration. The visitors connected from beyond the arc early and exposed Canadas lack of shooters on the floor. Leading 26-25 after the opening quarter, Jamaica stretched its lead to 49-37 at the half after making eight of 11 attempts from deep before halftime. "I give them a lot of credit, they shot the ball extremely well in the first half," Triano said. "Our defence held them to nine 1/8points 3/8 in the fourth quarter. We clamped down at the end when we had to and thats what were trying to do, we just need to do it from the beginning of the game." Veterans Levon Kendall and Jermaine Anderson helped Canada trim the deficit to nine at the end of three quarters. Thompson, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers and was named player of the game, scored his 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting. He also had 10 rebounds. "Its huge," Rautins said of Thompsons impact. "Offensive rebounding is huge for him. Its what he does. He makes a lot of money doing that. Were going to need him to do that for us game in and game out. Hes done a great job of improving his hook game. Even switching to his right hand, hes still knocking down shots." The game was intense from the opening tip and players let the officials know their thoughts on the non-calls as the game wore on. While it is an adjustment for NBA players like Thompson, Cory Joseph and Andrew Nicholson to get used to the officiating in the international game, veterans with experience abroad spent their time on the sidelines encouraging their teammates from the bench. "Having played in the NBA, having played overseas, its like a different world," Rautins explained. "The international game, its like another world. Its almost like a rugby match out there." Patrick Ewing Jr. led the way for Jamaica, scoring a game-high 20 points in the loss.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Oklahoma State running back Chris Carson bulled through one defender and then broke two tackles for his touchdown. Chris Lacy almost dragged another TCU player into the end zone on a long catch-and-run that set up another score.After running all over TCU in a 31-6 victory Saturday, the Cowboys will be playing for the Big 12 championship in their next game. They have won seven in a row since losing their conference opener at Baylor.Its just been a great stretch for us, said Mason Rudolph, who ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score. Its a good position to be in.The Cowboys (9-2, 7-1, No. 11 CFP) became the first team with two 100-yard rushers against TCU since 2007. Freshman running back Justice Hill (154 yards on 16 carries) and Carson (146 yards on 17 carries) combined for 182 yards after halftime when Oklahoma State added to a 10-6 lead.I told our team that in 2006-07-08-09, thats how we used to finish games. Thats what we were known for around here a long time, coach Mike Gundy said. It makes it a lot easier for me to sleep when we know we can run the ball.And its a big reason the Cowboys, who finished with 334 yards rushing and 541 overall, can become Big 12 champions if they beat eighth-ranked Oklahoma in their regular-season finale after an open date.Oklahoma State scored on its only two drives in the third quarter to go ahead 24-6. Carson had his bruising 19-yard TD run and Rudolph scored on a 2-yard keeper after a 63-yard catch-and-run by Lacy , who dragged a defender almost 15 yards before finally being brought down.I was just trying so hard to drag him into the end zone, said Lacy, inspired by Carsons hard-running style. I was trying to do the same thing. He just brings some physicality to the team and its spreading.TCU (5-5, 3-4) had a chance to take the lead in the final minute of the first half after a 40-yard run by quarterback Kenny Hill . But Kyle Hicks took direct snaps in a wildcat formation on consecutive plays from the 1, getting stopped short on a third-down run and then overthrowing an open receiver.The Frogs, who have two more channces to get bowl eligible, suffered their most lopsided home loss in their 16 seasons under Gary Patterson.ddddddddddddIt was Pattersons 200th game as head coach.We definitely got our butts kicked. It was embarrassing, said Hicks, who was held to 47 yards on 25 carries after he had 192 yards and five TDs against Baylor in TCUs previous game. You just have to make sure you bounce back next week and be more prepared.THE TAKEAWAYOklahoma State: Gundy and the Cowboys won their only Big 12 title five years ago. And they werent going to be denied a chance at another. After their last two wins by a combined seven points, the Cowboys responded with 31 unanswered points following TCUs only score. Rudolph is 21-5 as their starting quarterback.TCU: There were more designed runs as expected for Hill (eight carries for 79 yards), but he threw two interceptions. The Horned Frogs were coming off a 40-point win over Baylor in their previous game two weeks ago, but reverted back to the kind of inconsistent play that hampered them in losing three of four before that and escaping Kansas with a one-point win.HE SAID ITIm not even mad. Im embarrassed because we got our butt kicked. Simple as that. Im not just talking about the players. Its our job as coaches to find the answers. Im embarrassed for them and for me, Patterson said.SETUP RECEIVERLacy had four catches for 109 yards, including a 3-yard TD in the first quarter that put Oklahoma State ahead to stay. That score was set up by his leaping 30-yard catch with both hands extended over his head before he came down with a foot in bounds.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma State could move up a spot or two , but is in position to make a significant move in the final poll of the regular season if it wins that game and the Big 12 title.UP NEXTOklahoma State finishes the regular season with Bedlam at No. 8 Oklahoma on Dec. 3.TCU goes to Texas on Friday.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
