LONDON -- The NBA should be in no hurry to copy the NFLs style of expansion in London as it seeks to grow its appeal abroad, according to Steve Nash.The British capital plays host to its third game of the NFL regular season at Wembley stadium on Sunday, while Nashs favourite soccer club Tottenham are building their new stadium with an agreement to host two NFL games a year from 2018 to 2027.The NBA will stage a single regular season game at Londons O2 Arena in January, but Nash -- twice named the NBAs Most Valuable Player as a Phoenix Suns point guard -- does not see a need to shoehorn more games into the British sporting calendar.He told ESPN: Theres always something to be learned, but I think its a more natural fit stadium wise to have those types of agreements with the two footballs.Im sure there will be opportunities, and there have been in the past, where we can cross-promote with the Premier League and the NBA.The reality is that all of us just want people to enjoy what we do and be able to come over here and share the game with the fans we already have, and maybe draw in a few more to appreciate this beautiful sport.Nash was speaking in London at the NBAs Crossover event, which highlights the convergence of the league and popular culture through music, fashion and media.The exhibition forms part of the NBAs efforts to broaden interest in the sport outside its American heartland. But while the NFL has targeted London as its overseas outpost, the NBA has already taken games to Mexico and China.The NFL will join its basketball cousins in Mexico next month when the Oakland Raiders face the Houston Texans at Azteca stadium and Nash revealed the duty sportspeople feel to promote their games around the world.We all share a responsibility to grow the game [of basketball] and for it to be left better than it was when we came into the league, he said. We all feel fortunate to be able to play this great game in front of as many people as we do.To be able to travel the world to promote our game, thats something we all share the responsibility to do. Not only do we want to grow the game, but we want to give our fans in these regions a little bit more for their loyalty and support.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- UConns winning streak remains alive, just barely.Napheesa Collier scored 28 points and had a big block down in the final few seconds to lead the third-ranked Huskies to a 78-76 win over No. 12 Florida State on Monday night. UConn extended its winning streak to 76 games, the third longest streak in college basketball history.Florida State had a chance to beat the third-ranked Huskies at the end, but Imani Wrights 3-pointer was short allowing the four-time defending national champions to hold on in their opener.There are a lot of happy coaches that watched tonights game saying you got out of there with that one but your time is coming, coach Geno Auriemma said.This is the Huskies first single-digit win in the regular season since a six-point victory over St. Johns in 2013. It is also the first time since the 2011 Sweet 16 against Georgetown (68-63) that they have won by five points or less.The Seminoles trailed 65-59, but had a chance to tie it with 13.7 seconds left when Brittany Brown was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Kia Nurse. She made the first two to get within 77-76, but missed the third. The Huskies could not secure the ball and FSU (1-1) retained possession when it went out of bounds.Shakayla Thomas then drove the lane, but her shot was blocked Collier. Crystal Dangerfield made the first free throw, but missed the second. Imani Wright missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.I think this kind of woke us up and showed us that we are a different team than last year. We cant just win on talent. We have to play good, fundamental basketball, said Collier, who also had eight rebounds.Saniya Chong scored 16 points and Katie Lou Samuelson added 14 for the Huskies, whose winning streak sits only behind the team record of 90 straight set from 2008-10 and the UCLA mens record of 88 consecutive victories.Wright led Florida State with 25 points while Brown added 16 points and 10 rebounds.I wish we were sitting here obviously on the other side of this having won it, Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. We gave ourselves a chance. We got the ball into two great scorers at the end. Theres no moral victory here. The victory is our growth as our basketball tteam.ddddddddddddIG PICTUREUConn: Auriemma said before the game that this was a new world they were entering after the graduations of Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson. He also said he wasnt going to judge this team based on what happened in November, but considering they were able to hold on to win at the road, that has to give his team a little bit of confidence.Florida State: The Seminoles hung tough without starting point guard Leticia Romero, who missed her second straight game with a hamstring injury.TURNING POINTThe Huskies trailed by four at halftime and then were down 37-30 with 9:08 remaining in the third quarter, which is the largest deficit they have faced during the winning streak. They then went on a 14-2 run to take a five-point lead. The Seminoles would tie it three more times in the second half but could never take the lead.Collier and Chong each scored four points during the run while Samuelson had a 3-pointer at the end.It was a miracle we were down four at halftime. They (Florida State) got everything they wanted in the first half. If we were down 14 that might have been the end, Auriemma said.STAT OF THE NIGHTFlorida State had 16 offensive rebounds but could rarely convert as it was 26 of 72 from the field. That translated to UConn having a 30-24 edge in points in the paint and 12-7 advantage in second-chance points.POLL IMPLICATIONSUConns tough week will continue with second-ranked Baylor up next on Thursday and another road game Sunday against LSU. Florida State might drop a spot or two from 12th, but proved it can stand with the best teams in the country.UP NEXTUConn: The Huskies will have their home opener on Thursday against No. 2 Baylor. UConn is 53-10 against teams in the top 10 since the start of 2008-09 season.Florida State: The Seminoles continue a string of four straight home games to start the season on Thursday against Jacksonville.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
