Last February, the worlds best curlers battled each other at the Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Tress Way Jersey . Starting Thursday morning, many of those rinks, including all six who reached the podium at the Games, will meet again at the Continental Cup of Curling from Calgary. You can catch all the action through to Sundays Skins on TSN. For the first time, the Ryder Cup-style event will see Team Canada face Team Europe over a four-day event in such rarely seen disciplines such as mixed doubles, singles, mixed skins as well as regular skins and team games. In the past, Canadian and American rinks joined forces to form Team North America, but this year, it will be an all-Canadian squad of Brier, Olympic and World champions. Team Europe was previously known as Team World and included teams from Asia. Leading the way for the Canadians are 2014 Olympic gold medalists Brad Jacobs and Jennifer Jones. Canada will also have two-time defending Scotties champ Rachel Homan, current Canada Cup champ Val Sweeting, former Olympic/World champion John Morris and arguably the hottest rink in the world right now - Mike McEwen and his squad from Winnipeg. Sochi silver medalists David Murdoch of Scotland and Margaretha Sigfridsson of Sweden as well as bronze medalists Niklas Edin of Sweden and Eve Muirhead of Scotland will be on the ice for Team Europe. The veteran Thomas Ulsrud of Norway and rising star Anna Sidorova of Russia wrap up the six-rink team. Since the inauguration of the event in 2002, Team Canada/North America has won six Continental Cups to four for Europe/World. North America won last year, 36-24, in Las Vegas. The Continental Cup has always been the one event on the curling calendar where teams appear to be at their loosest, cheering on their fellow teammates from the sidelines with high fives and hugs. And the unconventional disciplines - including mixed doubles and singles - gives curling fans a new perspective on the game. Team Canada is made up of rinks with past successes as well as experience and will be the favourites at this years event. But the European rinks are decorated as well and could easily find themselves the first to 30.5 points. It should be an interesting four days of curling and one any curling fan will want to check out. Joe Theismann Jersey .

That was the way that Kansas coach Bill Self described the up-and-down season of his talented freshman forward. One day, Wiggins will be pouring in 26 points against Florida, the next day he will be struggling to get his shot off against UTEP. Its already been a season of growing pains for the No. 1 recruit in last years class, and while the eighth-ranked Jayhawks are starting to soar, Wiggins is still searching for his stride. "Hes so naive in so many ways," Self said. "I dont think he thinks about the fact hes everybodys Super Bowl when they have a chance to play against him. "Weve told him," Self said, "but I dont think hes felt that yet." After easily knocking off No. 24 Baylor on Monday night, Kansas (14-4, 5-0) has roared to five straight wins and first place in the Big 12. The last four of them have come against Top 25 teams, making the Jayhawks the first to accomplish that feat since North Carolina in 1997. Wiggins has been a big part of that success, of course. He scored 22 points against Kansas State, and poured in 17 against Iowa State and Baylor. But he also was held to nine points on 2-of-9 shooting against Oklahoma, and a season-low three points against Oklahoma State. Taken together, those are solid numbers for just about any freshman in America. Wiggins isnt just any other freshman. Ever since successfully dueling with Duke star Jabari Parker at a summer tournament, Wiggins has been anointed the next big thing. NBA scouts have flocked to Allen Fieldhouse to see him -- there were 28 in attendance last Saturday, when the Jayhawks knocked off the Cowboys. And hes done enough to prove that he could have a big future in the professional ranks. But hes also left many of those scouts, his coaches and just about every fan who has filed into the Phog hungry for more. "I think hes done well," Self said. "I also think theres another step he can take. He leaves me wanting more, so when people say certain things, I cant be upset. I want more, too." Self has tried to treat Wiggins like anybody else, in part to temper some of the otherr-worldly expectations. Paul Richardson Jersey. The prized forward has only done two one-on-one interviews with the media -- one of them with The Associated Press in December -- since the start of the season, and unless he has a big performance, Wiggins generally isnt made available to reporters following games. "Its a no-win, everything lose situation," Self said. "Theres no way to live up to the hype." When he does have a chance to speak, Wiggins has acknowledged that he didnt expect college basketball to be so hard. Players are bigger and stronger, faster and more athletic. There are no nights off, especially with Kansas playing the nations toughest schedule. "Yeah, I think so," Wiggins said, when asked whether hes starting to figure things out. "Im trying to be more aggressive right now, driving to the basket, getting good shots." Self said that some of the criticism levelled at Wiggins is unfair. After all, his stats -- 15.2 points, 6.1 rebounds per game -- are similar to those of Ben McLemore, who was the seventh overall pick in the draft after his only season playing in Lawrence. Then theres this difference: Wiggins will turn 19 next month, while McLemore had to redshirt a season and was two years older than Wiggins during his own freshman season. "Its just a different world," Self said. "These kids are entering school with the hype and in a lot of ways hes handled it beautifully in how hes deflected it, but in some ways he hasnt understood or we havent done a good job of explaining to him, because of the society and the media hype, if you dont produce, youre going to be the most talked-about person." Self would be fine if Wiggins is the most talked-about person at Kansas, of course, provided its for his accomplishments rather than his shortcoming. "So many times people get hung up on overall stats and things like that," Self said. "Hes just young, and with all the hype coming in, anything he did was going to be less than what the hype said he should do. And the bottom line is he figured it out, and hes playing his natural position, and hes learning to impact the game more and more."
