Rhode Island bench emptying to wish their teammate well -- and

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Another major championship, another major controversy.Unlike the U.S. Open and U.S. Womens Open, where controversy surrounded contenders on Sunday afternoon, Friday mornings strangeness occurred with the first group of the day off the 10th tee.According to a statement released by the PGA of America: The second round hole location sheet provided to Group 14 -- the first group of the day to play from Tee No. 10 -- listed the hole location as being on the left side of the green (20 paces from the front of the green and four paces from the left edge of the green).In error, the hole was actually cut and positioned on the right side of the green (19 paces from the front of the green and five paces from the right edge of the green). The PGA of America Rules Committee did not notice the hole had been cut in the incorrect location until after each member of Group 14 had hit his second shot to the green. The hole location played by Group 14 was provided a revised hole location sheet to all subsequent groups, meaning all groups today are playing this same hole location, the statement said.In that first group, Colt Knost made bogey using the incorrect pin sheet. He wound up posting 73 for a two-round total of 2 over, which might ultimately leave him 1 stroke shy of making the cut.Knost tweeted after his round: PGA trying its hardest to trump the USGA.The statement from the PGA continued: PGA Chief Championships Officer Kerry Haigh met with the players in Group 14 (Colt Knost, Joe Summerhays and Yuta Ikeda) after they signed their cards to offer an explanation, express his disappointment and apologize to them.

Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said he thinks his brother, former Duke guard Bobby Hurley, will root for the Rams against the No. 1 Blue Devils when the teams meet in the final of the Naismith Hall of Fame Tipoff in Uncasville, Conn., on Sunday.Thats a tough one. I mean, blood over Dukes family, Hurleys family -- I think hes with me though, because he talks to me more than K, Dan Hurley told ESPN after his No. 21 team survived an NCAA tournament game against No. 24 Cincinnati in the semifinal nightcap Saturday.Bobby Hurley, a point guard who helped Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski to back-to-back NCAA titles, is the coach at Arizona State. He wont be at the Mohegan Sun Casino Arena on Sunday, but the Hurley brothers dad, noted high school coach Bob Hurley Sr. is there watching Dan and his 4-0 Rams, who face Krzyzewski and his battered Blue Devils for the tournament crown.Once again, Rhode Island will have the crowd at its back -- these games being played 37 miles from its Kingston campus. The Rams face a Duke team (3-1) that came to Connecticut shorthanded and suffered more problems in Saturdays victory over Penn State.Were banged up more than any team Ive ever coached, Krzyzewski said after a hell of win over Penn State that saw Chase Jeter go down with an ankle injury while Grayson Allen hobbled around on a bad toe.Before the game and then during the game ... I mean, Amile (Jefferson) has been hurt this week, he has 15 rebounds and 16 points. Matt (Jones, 15 points) plays the last two ball games in the second half with four fouls. The veteran play of those two kids really saved us.Duke, which will likely fall out of the top spot in the poll because of a loss to Kansas on Tuesday, has three freshmen who havent even played yet because of injury.The three freshman wont play Sunday, Allen should and Jeter might as Krzyzewski tries for his 19th in-season title.Rhode Island had to overcome some adversity Saturday as well, losing point guard Jarvis Garrett to what looked like a scary injury in the first half.ddddddddddddGarrett, hustling for a rebound, fell over the end line and appeared to hit his head on the knee of a cameraman. He was down for several minutes, got up on his feet but was taken from the court, his neck in a brace on a stretcher and sent to a hospital for evaluation.Players from both teams wished Garrett well as he was wheeled away, with the Rhode Island bench emptying to wish their teammate well -- and Garrett was able to text his coach from the hospital.Hes getting tests done. He has some type of neck injury, Hurley said. No idea in terms of a timetable or as to the severity of it.I thought our guys love for him and love for each other as brothers caused them to rise to the level and want it even more.Asked about reacting to losing a key player, Hurley pointed to a pair of in-season tournament blowouts his team suffered the past two years, against Maryland and Kansas.Not this year. Were fully loaded, he said.He said he thought Saturday was a sign. That the hype about our teams was probably real; based on the way weve grown, with our young players, and the adversity of last year. Cincinnatis a heck of a team, probably underrated.Saturday, the Rams missed their first nine 3-pointers before hitting eight of their last 12 with E.C. Matthews nailing a 3 from the right corner off a late out-of-bounds play.And now they get Duke.Special for the coach?I was coaching high school games seven years ago and driving vans around ... now were nationally ranked and playing Duke (Sunday) for a championship, Hurley said, calling Duke the premier program in the country that embodies everything you want in a college program. It kind of means a lot. ' ' '
