LOS ANGELES -- UCLA guard Jordin Canada was so focused on grabbing the one rebound she needed for her first career triple double that when teammate Monique Billings flung away the rebounded basketball they both held, Canada glared at her. Players and coaches on the UCLA bench all knew what was at stake and collectively groaned in disbelief.Everyone finished with smiles because Canada grabbed her 10th rebound with 48 seconds left.Canada had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists to lead No. 9 UCLA to a 95-47 win over Southern University on Friday night.Its the sixth triple-double in school history, and Canada also crossed the 1,000-point mark, a milestone she didnt realized she reached until after the game.Its also an honor. Its a great feeling to know that Ive put in the work, Canada said. Im very proud of myself, but its not all about points. Yes, its a great honor, but its not everything.Billings had a double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds, her fifth consecutive one dating back to last season. She also set a career-high with six steals.But she drew the ire of her point guard.We have goals that we have to meet. Mo was one rebound away from getting 15 rebounds, which was her goal, Canada said. I was one rebound away from getting a triple double. At the time, I thought she already met her goal. When the ball went up we both had it, and I was screaming because I wanted it. She took it away. I was mad. I didnt realize she hadnt met her goal until afterward, so I felt bad. Were just really passionate about getting our goals.UCLA had just nine players available. Four players are injured and have yet to play this season.Canada prides herself on passing, defending and, when a milestone is on the line, rebounding.Ive never seen Jordan so mad at me running down the court, Billings said with a laugh. She got her rebound too, after so its all good.Skylar OBear scored 14 points and Briana Green added 12 for Southern (1-2).Kennedy Burke led the Bruins in scoring with 23 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers. UCLA had a school-record 14 3-pointers as a team, breaking the mark of 12 set against Hawaii in 2009.BIG PICTURE:Southern got the experience of playing one of the best teams in the country on the road and will have plenty of learning opportunities in a postgame film session.UCLA has its sights set on a national championship and with a loss to No. 2 Baylor on the road four days ago, it showed the Bruins theres work to be done. UCLA dominated at home on Friday, where it plays so well, but hasnt won a road game against a ranked opponent in its last 13 consecutive games.UP NEXT:Southern University returns home to play Bethune-Cookman on Thursday but its a one-game stint in New Orleans as the Jaguars play six of their first eight games on the road.UCLA hosts Cal Poly on Sunday before traveling to Mexico for the Cancun Challenge, which starts on Thanksgiving.POLL IMPLICATIONS After the loss at No. 2 Baylor on Monday, which came after the polls were released earlier in the day, UCLA likely will fall out of the top 10. The Bruins played Southern on Friday, which has just one win, and will play Cal Poly, which lost its first two games of the season, on Sunday, so wins against those teams likely wouldnt help keep UCLA in the top 10.QUOTABLEI think were still not playing anywhere close to what were going to become. Thats a good news-bad news. Its bad news because we missed an opportunity at Baylor. The good news is that theres no danger this group is going to peak early. We have so many things we still need to work on. On the other hand, were shooting the ball great. Were a selfless team.-- UCLA coach Cori Close on ways to improve after a 48-point winTony Gonzalez Womens Jersey . Just not the game.

I dont know how they look anymore because we were separated since we were small. So I send hugs and kisses to my brothers.Rubbing tears from his eyes, the 24-year-old athlete delivered a message for his family: If you can see me on television now, you can see that your brother is here in Brazil and alive and well.Misenga, who hopes one day to afford to buy airplane tickets so his family can visit Brazil, said being on the refugee team means hes representing something bigger than his native country or national flag.Were fighting for all the refugees in the world, he said. Im not sad that Im not going to carry the flag of my country. I will carry a flag of many countries.Yolande Mabika also fled Congo, and is also a judo athlete. But shes in grief over losing her country.I will raise the Olympic flag, but Im a little bit sad in my heart and mind because I cannot march under the flag of my country, she said.She also cried as she described refugees as forgottten people.ddddddddddddEverybody in the world talks about the refugees having no major importance, she said. We are going to show that the refugee is capable of doing everything that other people around the world do.The Olympic refugees are superb athletes, but no one expects a medal from them. But thats beside the point.Their country was broken, but they have the spirit of humanity, the spirit of athletes, said Tegla Loroupe, the head of the delegation and a three-time Olympian from Kenya.Yusra Mardini was a competitive swimmer in Syria until she left Damascus with her sister a year ago and settled in Berlin.She said she still dreams of representing Syria, but also recognizes a bigger mission of representing the biggest flag -- which is all countries.Were going to represent you guys in a really good way, she said, speaking to other anonymous refugees. I hope youre going to learn from our story: That you have to move on, because life will never stop for your problems.Fellow swimmer Rami Anis fled Syria five years to avoid being drafted into the army. He still talks of competing for his country of birth -- maybe at the next Olympics.I am representing people who lost their rights, who suffered injustice, he said. I hope in Tokyo in 2020 there will be no refugees and we will able to compete under our own flag.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .
