RIO DE JANEIRO -- IOC President Thomas Bach led a mourning ceremony Wednesday for the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches slain at the 1972 Munich Olympics -- a tribute that a widow of one of the victims said brought closure for the families.Bach, his voice cracking with emotion, read out of the names of each of the 11 Israelis and the German policeman who died after a raid by Palestinian gunmen in the athletes village in Munich, the worst terror attack in Olympic history.With two widows of the victims and several current Israeli team members looking on, Bach said the Munich massacre was an attack not only on our fellow Olympians but also an assault on the values that the Olympic Village stands for.Bach led a minute of silence during the inauguration of a place of mourning in the athletes village in Rio de Janeiro. He hugged Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano, the widows of fencing coach Andre Spitzer and weightlifter Yossef Romano.Bach also read out of the name of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the Georgian luger killed in a training crash on the eve of the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.Families of the Munich victims have campaigned for years for greater public recognition for the dead from the International Olympic Committee. The IOC faced criticism for refusing to hold a moment of silence for the Israeli victims during the opening of the 2012 London Games, 40 years after the attack.We waited for this for 44 years, to have this remembrance and recognition of our loves ones who were killed so brutally in Munich, Ankie Spitzer said Wednesday. We wanted them to be really accepted as members of the Olympic family. Now that President Bach had a minute of silence in the Olympic village, calling out the names of our loves ones, this is closure for us.I cannot explain how emotional I am, how much this means for us.Romano said: I never believed its going to come after 44 years. This is a moment of history.The mourning area inaugurated Wednesday is located in a quiet outdoor spot in the village where athletes can remember family, friends and others who have passed away.The ceremony was attended by athletes in Israeli, German and Georgian team uniforms. The memorial includes two stones from Ancient Olympia in Greece and the inscription: We will always remember you forever in our hearts.

Its also a whole different world from where the Longhorns were as a team at this time last year.Texas carries a roster that has just two seniors that logged significant playing time after sending an upperclassmen-heavy squad to the court last season. The Longhorns finished a 20-13 campaign that ended in a loss to Northern Iowa in the Round of 64 of the NCAA tournament.Texas doesnt return a player that averaged in double-figure scoring last year. Two sophomore guards, Eric Davis, Jr. (7.4 points per game) and Kerwin Roach (7.5 ppg) are the Longhorns top returning scorers; Davis will start Friday while Roach (and fellow sophomore guard/forward Tevin Mack) will miss the game because of a suspension for an undisclosed violation of team rules during the offseason.Fridays contest marks the collegiate regular-season debut for a talented freshman quartet -- forward Jarrett Allen, center James Banks and guards Andrew Jones and James Young -- that was ranked as a Top 5 national recruiting class.Those four players combined to register 62 of the teams 95 points and 29 of the teams 50 rebounds in a combined 113 minutes during the Longhorns exhibition win against Angelo State last week. All four freshmen reached double digits in scoring (Young 21, Jones 17, Allen 14, Banks 10).As talented as Texas is expected to be in the seasons early going, it will be only better as the season progresses, Smart said.Its not really a basketball Xs and Os thing as much as these guys figuring out how much as a team they need each other, Smart said. Especially these freshman guys who were the center of everything in their high school world and the sophomores who are now in a different role.Incarnate Word was 17-12 last season, finishing third in the Southland Conference. But the Cardinals cant be taken lightly after they upset St. Johns lastt season.ddddddddddddncarnate Word coach Ken Burmeister has posted 10 consecutive winning seasons with the Cardinals, including two conference titles, a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament.He has led Incarnate Word through a smooth transition into NCAA Division I play as the team has won 56 games over its first three years in the Southland Conference. That includes an 18-11 mark in 2014-15 when the Cardinals played a full Division I schedule for the first time.Were playing our share of big schools as we try to build this program, and there are times when we come away from the game excited about our potential and others when we are just ready to move on, Burmeister said. Were ready to play a game because thats when well learn the most about ourselves. We just appreciate being able to play someone like Texas.The Cardinals finished the 2015-16 season averaging 74.0 points per game, while shooting 43.5 percent from the field. Over the previous two seasons, Incarnate Word ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring.Sophomore forward Simi Socks and junior guard Shawn Johnson return to lead the backcourt, while junior college transfer forward Devin Wyatt and freshman guard Christian Peevy headline a strong class of incoming players.Johnson is the Cardinals most athletic player and will take on an added scoring role while rebounding and defending the oppositions best player. He was first on the team in blocks and third in steals, while shooting 40.0 percent from 3-point range last year.Burmeister said his team is a fighting through some preseason injuries, most notably a back ailment for junior transfer center Myles Banks.The Longhorns have won 13 of their last 14 season openers and have posted an overall mark of 90-20 (.818) in their previous 110 season-opening games. Texas has won 14 straight home openers and is 34-5 in home openers since the Erwin Center opened prior to the 1977-78 season.Fridays contest is the first meeting between the Longhorns and Incarnate Word in mens basketball.
