AUSTIN, Texas -- Shaka Smart got a shaky start to his second season at Texas.The good thing for the Longhorns is they still got a win and theres plenty of time for a new lineup to grow into the season.Kendal Yancy made two late free throws, then followed with a tough layup in the final minute to send No. 21 Texas to a 78-73 season-opening win over Incarnate Word on Friday night, a surprisingly close finish to a game that most figured would be a blowout.Regardless of who we play, youve got to bring it, Yancy said.Texas led by 16 early in the second half before Incarnate Word rallied to lead 67-66 on Sam Burmeisters 3-pointer with 2:30 to play.Yancy got to the line for the lead, then made it 70-67 with a twisting layup around two defenders with 49 seconds left. He finished with 19 points.Freshman Jarrett Allen added 16 points and 12 rebounds for Texas, which has an entirely new starting lineup after making the NCAA Tournament last season.Texas was down two key players as guard Kerwin Roach Jr., and small forward Tevin Mack were suspended for the first game for a rules violation during the offseason. Roach is expected to start at point guard when he returns.The bottom line is our guys came back after giving up the double-digit lead and being down by one, Smart said. You want games like this you can learn from. At the same time, theres a humbling side.Shawn Johnson scored 24 points for Incarnate Word. He said the Cardinals pressed for the win at the end and made mistakes that opened the door for the Longhorns.Some players I think were shocked we took the lead. We started over-thinking. We wanted to take a one-point lead to five, Johnson said.BIG PICTUREIncarnate Word: The Cardinals were undersized but werent intimidated on the road in the Big 12. They built a lead early and fought back in the second half when Texas was on the verge of a blowout. Even though it was a loss, it should be a confidence builder.Texas: Smart has work to do in his second season at Texas. The Longhorns shot 57 percent in the first half to overcome 11 early turnovers, then struggled once they had a big lead in the second half. Theres time to work out the kinks ahead of what will be a typically rugged Big 12 season, but there could also be some early growing pains.The key is do we get better. Do the guys walk into practice with a sense of urgency? Smart said.POLL IMPLICATIONSTexas preseason ranking means voters respect their potential, but the Longhorns could slide backward if they notice how they struggled.BLOCK PARTYNearly overlooked in the close finish were the five blocks by Texas freshman forward James Banks. Pairing him with Allen can give the Longhorns a stout front line.Thats my role. Defend the rim, Banks said.TIRED LEGSTexas limited roster forced the Longhorns out on the court for long stretches. Four players logged at least 32 minutes. Allen played 36 minutes of his first college game and even walk-on Ryan McClurg got six minutes and played in the first half.Some of us got a little fatigued, Yancy said. Weve got to clean up up some of the mess that was going on tonight.UP NEXTIncarnate Word: After a big step up into the Big 12 for the season opener, Incarnate Word hosts Division II St. Edwards on Tuesday.Texas: Texas gets to ease its young lineup into the season as the Longhorns next host Louisiana Monroe on Monday night.

Baker Mayfield Womens Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others.Jockeys are set to face stiffer penalties for manoeuvres that might impact on the safety or fairness of a race by causing interference. The change is part of moves to take effect from May 23 with the intention of providing a greater deterrent to riders, and comes as the result of British Horseracing Authority consultation with the Professional Jockeys Association, as well as the National Trainers Federation and Racehorse Owners Association.Under the new structure, Andrea Atzenis three-day ban incurred for careless riding in a controversial renewal of last years St Leger at Doncaster would now carry a ban of seven to eight days for improper riding. The BHA said there was a common feeling among those consulted that the rules and penalty structures should be reviewed during what is a usual annual process, following a series of offences in high-profile races in 2015.Instances where a rider manoeuvres during a race, when he knows or ought reasonably to have known, that by doing so interference would occur, are to be categorised as improper rather than careless and are set to carry a higher penalty of up to 21 days, with a minimum of four days for interference-related offences.In contrast, the impact of bans for the most minor offences will be reduced.One-day suspensions are to be removed from the bottom of the penalty range for careless riding in order that minor offences which would previously have incurred a one-day suspension will now receive a caution.The top end of the penalty range for careless riding is to be increased from nine days to 14 days.However, penalties for whip-related offences are to remain unchanged. Sky Racing Tickets Fast, secure racing tickets: Exclusive racing offers near you Jamie Stier, Director of Raceday Operations and Regulation for the BHA, said: Safety and fairness are paramount in our approach to regulating the sport and these facets are at the heart of the amendments to the rules and penalties we have announced today.Altering the definition of careless and improper riding means that manoeuvres which ought to have been obvious wwould cause interference are now categorised in the more serious category of improper riding.ddddddddddddhis offence carries a greater penalty range than careless riding and this should serve as a greater deterrent to riders making such manoeuvres which could potentially undermine the safety of riders and horses, and the fairness of a race.We will monitor the impact of these changes. We are grateful to the PJA for their constructive participation in this project.The alteration to the penalty range for careless riding serves to, at the top end, provide a greater disincentive to ride in a careless manner, and at the same time, by dropping one day suspensions, ensure that riders are not incurring unwarranted suspensions for minor offences.Stier added: We are aware that niggly one-day offences may seem a minor penalty, but they do have an impact on jockeys as it causes them to lose potential earnings for a day.We have agreed with the PJA that it is appropriate to commence applying suspensions for careless riding at a level of offence which has previously incurred a two-day suspension.Therefore offences which would have incurred a one-day suspension will now instead attract a caution.On the subject of the whip, Stier said: We remain satisfied overall with the way in which British riders are adhering to the whip rules. We are encouraged by the ongoing decrease in the number of whip offences.The increased number of offences in Group or Grade One races in 2015 did prompt us to undertake a more detailed analysis of the data to see whether a trend was developing. That analysis revealed no evidence to support the development of such a trend.We do not see a need for further review of the penalties for whip offences as long as the downward trend in breaches continues, including those in high-value races.The British jockeys at Cheltenham recently showed that it is possible to ride within the rules in valuable races. We expect riders to continue such an
