They finally get that shot at the U.S. — with a world title on the line. Teodosic scored 24 points and Serbia reached the championship game of the Basketball World Cup by holding off France 90-85 on Friday night. The Serbians will face the defending champion and unbeaten Americans on Sunday. "Were not going to be scared for sure," said Krstic, a former NBA centre now playing in Europe. "Now our confidence is high and OK, we have a chance, maybe some players never get this chance to play against U.S., great U.S. team in the final of the World Cup. Its an unbelievable chance to do something great in our lives." The teams have never met at the senior mens level since Serbia became an independent nation. "Every player when he was a kid was dreaming to play in a world championship final, and especially against States," Teodosic said. The final caps an unlikely run for the Serbians, who barely made the 24-tournament as the seventh-place finisher in last years European qualifier, and then were just 2-3 in the powerful Group A, grabbing the fourth and final spot. But Serbia has been playing better throughout the single-elimination round. It routed previously unbeaten Greece 90-72 in the round of 16, and then hammered Brazil 84-56 in the quarterfinals. "I think something clicked," Krstic said. "We talk a lot in the locker room, and our coach gave us confidence, he always talked to us, he believed in us and something clicked. I dont have an explanation." Teodosic helped Serbia lead by as much as 18, but Nicolas Batum of the Portland Trail Blazers nearly brought the French all the way back, finishing with 35 points. Boris Diaw of the San Antonio Spurs added 13 for France, which will play Lithuania on Saturday for the bronze medal. The French upset Spain the quarterfinals, ending the expected gold-medal matchup between the Spanish and Americans. But the European champions got off to a slow start that couldnt be overcome even with their 39-point fourth quarter. "I think tonight the way we played the first half, we didnt deserve to win that game," Diaw said. "Even when we tried to come back, Serbia deserved to win." Teodosic opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer and another basket in a 9-0 run that made it 30-15. He later made another 3 to start a run of seven straight Serbia points, with Nikola Kalinics steal and dunk making it 43-25. It was 46-32 at halftime, and then Teodosic made another 3 to open the second half and Serbia took a 61-46 advantage to the final period.

The Cardinals (12-1) spotted Miami (9-4) an early 2-0 lead, then dominated the rest of the way, racking up 554 total yards to the Hurricanes 174. Bridgewater was 35 for 45 for career-high 447 yards.

That coincided with one of Bridgewaters top third-down targets -- receiver DeVante Parker -- going down on the Louisvilles second series of the night with an ankle injury. But those fortunes changed quickly when Parker returned in the second quarter after getting his ankle attended to by the training staff. He immediately caught three passes on a seven-play, 80-yard drive, including a capping 26-yard touchdown reception. Parker finished with nine catches for 142yards. Miamis next possession appeared to have stalled near midfield, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty kept it going and eventually set up the Hurricanes with second-and-goal on the 5. Stephen Morris dropped back to pass, but was grabbed and lost the ball as he was slung to the ground by Cardinals defensive end Marcus Smith. The loose ball was then recovered by Louisvilles Brandon Dunn to end the threat. Louisville got it again with just under 2 minutes to play and drove 60 yards for another touchdown, scoring on Bridgewaters 12-yard pass to Michael Harris. The scores erased memories of a disastrous opening series for the Cardinals that ended with Hurricanes safety Deon Bush sacking Bridgewater in the end zone for a safety. Miami managed only 83 total yards in the first half, while Louisville had 280. ' ' '
