NEW YORK -- American swimmer Ryan Lochte said he over-exaggerated what happened at a Rio de Janeiro gas station and acknowledged it was his immature behavior that got him and three teammates into a mess that consumed the final days of the Olympics.Lochte, in a portion of an interview with NBCs Matt Lauer that aired Saturday , continued backtracking from a story that he initially described as an armed robbery. Police have said the swimmers vandalized a bathroom after a night of partying and armed guards confronted them and asked them to pay for the damage.Its how you want to make it look like, Lochte said. Whether you call it a robbery or whether you call it extortion or us just paying for the damages, we dont know. All we know is that there was a gun pointed in our direction and we were demanded to give money.But he admitted that he understood that he was being told that the Americans had to pay for the damage or the police would be called.At that point, Lauer said: Youre striking a deal. Is that fair?We just wanted to get out of there, Lochte said, adding the swimmers were frightened.Lauer told Lochte that his story had morphed from one about the mean streets or Rio to a negotiated settlement to cover up dumb behavior.Thats why Im taking full responsibility for it, because I over-exaggerated the story, Lochte said. If I had never done that, we wouldnt be in this mess.Lochte also said he had lied in telling NBC interviewer Billy Bush the next day that a gun had been cocked and pointed at his forehead. He said he was still under the influence of alcohol when he talked to Bush.I definitely had too much to drink that night and I was very intoxicated, he said.Lochte, who dyed his hair white for the games and had it turn a light shade of green from the pool, had changed his hair back to its regular shade of brown for the interview, which was conducted in New York. As Brazilian police investigated his robbery claim, and eventually held his teammates for questioning while they sorted out his story, he had tweeted he intended to dye it back.He said he hoped to continue competitive swimming but acknowledged that it wont be his decision about whether hed be able to be part of the American team again. USA Swimming and the International Olympic Committee could issue sanctions.Lochte said he regretted how the incident had tarnished Rio and the last week of the Olympics. He also gave an interview to Brazils main broadcaster Globo on Saturday to apologize for his actions.Brazil doesnt deserve that, he said to Globo. I am sorry that my immaturity caused all this ruckus.---Associated Press Writer Adriana Gomez Licon in Rio de Janeiro contributed to this report. Javier Hernandez Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.

Weve got multiple guys who can make shots, and thats what we saw tonight.Daryl Macon finished with 12 points for the Razorbacks, hitting 4 of 6 3-pointers, while C.J. Jones added 11 in his season debut. Arkansas shot 58.3 percent (21 of 36) in the first half and finished 30 of 61 (49.2 percent) for the game.Armon Fletcher led the Salukis (0-2) with 13 points, while Leo Vincent and Sean Lloyd added 10 each in the loss.Southern Illinois was 8-of-33 shooting (24.2 percent) in the first half and finished 22 of 60 (36.7 percent) from the field.

The trio of Macon, Jaylen Barford and Arlando Cook combined for 30 points on Monday, providing the Razorbacks some much-needed offense a season after they finished a disappointing 16-16 and missed the postseason. Tonight, it was going, Macon said. We found open shots, knocked them down, found each other and just played as a team.CROWD WOESThe estimated actual attendance in the 19,200-seat Bud Walton Arena on Monday night was 4.270.
