DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke wants to show it once again belongs among the elite teams in womens basketball. Beating No. 3 South Carolina is a good way to prove it.Rebecca Greenwell scored seven of her 29 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes, leading the Blue Devils past the Gamecocks 74-63 on Sunday.I think it shows we can play with anyone out there, Greenwell said. We knew that from the beginning of the season, but now its just showing it to others.Oderah Chidom added 15 points to help the Blue Devils (9-1) earn their first victory over a top-three opponent since they knocked off No. 3 Ohio State in 2009.I wanted to make a statement, Chidom said, and South Carolinas a great team to do it against.Duke shot 50 percent and forced the Gamecocks (6-1) into a season-worst 19 turnovers, turning them into 28 points.Coach Dawn Staley said her team played undisciplined basketball.We wanted to stay really close to Greenwell, because we know what shes capable of, Staley said. And obviously, she made us pay.Aja Wilson scored 18 points and Kaela Davis added 14 for South Carolina, which pulled to 66-60 on Bianca Cuevas-Moores 3-pointer with 1:41 left and immediately called timeout.But the Gamecocks came out of that break and put six players on the court, earning them a technical foul. Greenwell hit two free throws with 1:40 remaining, and after Duke forced a stop, Kyra Lambert added two foul shots to push the Blue Devils lead to 70-60 with 1:05 remaining.BIG PICTURESouth Carolina: The Gamecocks have plenty to work on after this -- starting with ball security. They lead the nation with averages of 21 free throws made and 30 of them attempted, but got to the line only 14 times in this one, making nine. Staley says all of her teams problems can be corrected by simply tightening things up at the defensive end. The only team to score more against her Gamecocks was Ohio State in a 92-80 loss in the opener on Nov. 14.I think if we can fix our defense, Staley said, the turnovers will help themselves.Duke: This was the kind of victory the Blue Devils needed as they try to climb back into the national rankings after some stumbles last season knocked them out of the polls. The Blue Devils had lost eight straight games against Top 25 opponents since they beat No. 12 Mississippi State two years ago in the NCAA Tournament.POLL IMPLICATIONSThis loss figures to send South Carolina dropping a few spots.

MADISON, Wis. -- The University of Wisconsin will prohibit nooses and ropes from home athletic events as part of revised standards being put in place after a fan wore an offensive costume to a football game.The school said Wednesday in a statement that nooses and ropes will be treated as weapons that constitute a threat to safety.The fan behavior, carry-in and ticket policies were revised to read, in part, that Any person who engages in violent, threatening, abusive or otherwise disorderly conduct which tends to provoke a disturbance or incite violence will be ejected from our events.A fan wore what appeared to be a President Barack Obama mask with a noose around its neck to the Badgers game on Oct. 29 against Nebraska. Security officers asked the man to remove the noose in the first but a photo taken later shows him wearing the noose again.The changes will go into effect starting this weekend, including the seventh-ranked Badgers game on Saturday against Illinois. The revisions were made after meetings between athletic department staff and community leaders.What happened at Camp Randall two weeks ago goes against everything we stand for, athletic director Barry Alvarez said. I am very pleased that we all were able to work together to improve our policies. ... It is great to be able to talk, and even more satisfying that we took action.ddddddddddddUniversity officials had defended security staffs decision not to throw the man out given freedom of speech concerns.The school was criticized by student leaders who called the costume hate speech. Nigel Hayes, an outspoken forward on the basketball team, posted a statement on Twitter that asked officials at Wisconsin and universities across the country to address issues of how minority students are treated.Wisconsins revised policy will stress that the athletic department promotes a welcoming atmosphere in its venues and that disrespectful conduct toward others may lead to ejection from the venue. Racist and other offensive behavior is not appropriate for our venues.Said Chancellor Rebecca Blank: This policy change is an important step in ensuring that our sporting events are free from offensive conduct that has the potential to create a disturbance.---Full statement from the Wisconsin athletic department: http://www.uwbadgers.com/news/2016/11/9/...ies.aspx---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org/ ' ' '
