RIO DE JANEIRO -- There will be bigger matches for Madison Keys, bigger tournaments. But on a sun-splashed afternoon at the Olympic Tennis Center, no one was going to tell the 21-year-old that going home without a shiny round piece of hardware around her neck was anything less than heartbreaking.Keys 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 loss to the Czech Republics Petra Kvitova on Saturday in the womens bronze-medal match came less than 20 hours after she fell to Angelique Kerber in the semifinal. Both were equally frustrating, and both brought out the best and worst in the young American.Against Kerber, Keys was 0-for-10 on break-point opportunities. Against another more experienced player in Kvitova, Keys was 2-for-10. And though Keys played at a high level at times against two of the hardest hitters in the game, she was sloppy, committing 90 unforced errors in those matches (41 versus Kerber; 49 against Kvitova).Keys had a double set point on Kvitovas serve in the first set but failed to capitalize. And though Keys came back strong to win the second set, she was frustrated throughout the match, slamming her racket often.When I needed a point, she played her best tennis, Keys said of her bronze-medal match. Its one of those where a point here and there could really change it, and unfortunately, I didnt win those today.As for Kvitova, she was plagued by mono last year, a stomach illness early in 2016 and then an abdominal pull. Still, she is a two-time Wimbledon champ but has not been past the quarterfinals of a major since winning her last one in 2014. This year, she fell in the second round at the All England Club.But Saturday, Kvitova was nimble and quick, winning 7-of-9 net chances and taking command of the final set. She broke Keys serve in the first and third games and never looked back.I was preparing for the Olympics from the beginning of the season, Kvitova said. I had so many troubles with injuries and everything. I know I love playing this kind of tournament.And playing for the Czech Republic is something always special for me. I just came here to do what I can. Im so happy. I saved my best tennis for this event.While Keys, who broke into the top 10 of the world ranking for the first time in June, has been steadily climbing toward elite status, her lone obstacle is a Grand Slam title. Red-eyed and holding back tears after both her semifinal and the bronze matches, Keys will try to benefit from this Olympic week.Right now, its not super easy to see the positives, but Im definitely going to take what I learned and use it -- use everything that happened here just as experience and ... and move on, she said.There were a lot of matches I could have potentially lost, and I was able to fight. Also, it is a very unique experience being a part of a team and the Olympic Village. I think it was a really, really fun experience, and Im just going to focus on that.Keys was not the only player who was emotional Saturday, as Kvitova told reporters that she was sorry if she broke into tears.This means almost everything, the Czech said. The fact that I have a medal from the Olympics is one of the best things [to] happen in my career. I have my two Wimbledon titles, Fed Cup and WTA [Finals]. Its definitely one of the best days today, so I hope Im going to celebrate it. And Im very proud I could bring it to the Czech Republic.Unfortunately, I didnt win the gold medal, but to have a bronze, its great. Its different [than Wimbledon]. ... Its something special.

"Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee was dominant enough for one six-minute stretch to make up for any youthful mistakes it made the rest of the night.Robert Hubbs III scored 16 points to lead six Tennessee players in double figures Tuesday as the Volunteers capitalized on a 21-0 first-half spurt in a 103-94 victory over Appalachian State.Tennessee, which has seven true freshmen and one redshirt freshman on its roster, bounced back from a season-opening 82-69 home loss to Chattanooga and avoided its first 0-2 start since 1965-66.I cant imagine theres a younger team, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. I do think we did some things better from the first game, but we still, at times tonight, acted like the really young basketball team we are.The Vols (1-1) trailed 11-9 early before reeling off 21 straight points by feasting on Appalachian State turnovers. Jordan Bone and Grant Williams each scored five points during that 21-0 run, which culminated with a 3-pointer from Jordan Bowden.Tennessee led by as many as 26 points during a first half in which the Vols forced 15 turnovers.I think we missed some easy ones and I think they ramped up their pressure, Appalachian State coach Jim Fox said. It slowed us down. Our guys were making uncharacteristic mistakes. If we passed the ball up, we caught the ball right by halfcourt so they trapped us. We were really tentative with things that we did. Credit them. They did a great job. Theyre tremendously athletic.The Vols werent quite as effective the rest of the way. Appalachian State (0-2) got the margin all the way down to seven with 58 seconds left but couldnt get any closer.Tennessee won with a balanced scoring attack.Lamonte Turner scored 15 points, Bowden had 14. Kyle Alexander and Williams each had 13 and Shembari Phillips added 11 for Tennessee.I feel like everybody on our team can score the ball, Bowden said. Everybody gives the ball and is not really selfish on offense.Ronshad Shabazz and Patrick Good each scored 21 for Appalachian State. Griffin Kinney had 13 points and Kelvin Robinson added 12.ddddddddddddTHE TAKEAWAYAppalachian State: The Mountaineers inability to take care of the ball in the first half proved costly. Appalachian State had 15 turnovers in the first half. Tennessee outscored Appalachian State 22-8 in first-half points off turnovers. The Mountaineers deserve some credit for chipping away at the deficit rather hanging their heads once they trailed by 26.Tennessee: The Vols corrected many of the mistakes theyd made in their loss to Chattanooga. Tennessee shot 1 of 16 from 3-point range and had 18 turnovers and four assists against Chattanooga. The Vols were 8-of-19 on 3-pointers and had 26 assists and 12 turnovers Tuesday. Bone, who had just one assist in the Chattanooga game, had eight assists and two turnovers against Appalachian State.LINEUP CHANGEBarnes responded to Tennessees season-opening loss by having Bowden and Phillips replace Admiral Schofield and Detrick Mostella in the starting lineup.Bowden had played just six minutes in the Chattanooga game, but the freshman guard shot 4 of 8 from 3-point range and scored 14 points Tuesday.We started (Bowden) because he earned it, to be quite frank, Barnes said. The other night, the reason we switched the lineup a little bit is some of those guys that started (against Chattanooga) didnt do the things that we wanted them to do defensively.REDSHIRT DUOBarnes said he is planning on redshirting freshman guard Jalen Johnson and freshman walk-on Jacob Fleschman.INJURY UPDATETennessee guard Kwe Parker missed a second straight game while wearing a walking boot on his left foot.NEXT UPAppalachian State hosts Warren Wilson College on Thursday.Tennessee faces Wisconsin on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Maui.---More AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
