No. 7 Tennessee outscored UT Martin by 28 points in the second half in routing the visiting Skyhawks 78-35 on Friday afternoon in Knoxville. Chaz Lanier scored a game-high 18 points for the Volunteers (7-0), who expanded on a 35-20 halftime lead with a 43-15 second half. Felix Okpara had 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks, helping Tennessee command the paint along with Igor Milicic, who added nine points and 13 rebounds. Zakai Zeigler nearly had a double-double with 11 points and nine assists. The Volunteers used their size to their advantage, outscoring UT Martin 36-10 in the paint and out rebounding the Skyhawks 49-24. That included 20 offensive rebounds for Tennessee, which led to 19 second-chance points. UT Martin (2-5) was cold coming out of the locker room after halftime, missing its first eight shots. Conversely, the Vols started the second half with a nine-point run to extend their lead to 24 points. The Vols never let the Skyhawks score consecutive baskets in the first half, holding UT Martin to 25 percent shooting (4 of 16) from beyond the arc and allowing a total of only three points from the starting five. For the game, guard Josue Grullon led UT Martin with 15 points. The leading scorer in the Ohio Valley Conference entering Friday at 18.2 points per game, Grullon has not started any game for head coach Jeremy Shulman. Most of the Skyhawks' points -- 28 of 35 -- came from their reserves. The starting five combined to score seven points -- six points from Matija Zuzic and a free throw for Lamine Niag. The starters went a combined 2 of 18 from the floor, while UT Martin as a team shot 22.6 percent (12 of 53) from the field. The Skyhawks made 5 of 7 free-throw attempts and made 18 turnovers. The Volunteers, who got 23 points off the bench, were 8-for-10 and had 11 turnovers. Tennessee improved to 6-0 all-time against UT Martin since 1993. --Field Level Media

Michigan Trolls Ohio State by Reposting Final Score with Subtle TwistJaipur, Nov 30 (PTI) Coming out in public for the first time after recent allegations and his indictment in the US, Adani group chairman Gautam Adani on Saturday said his conglomerate was committed to compliances and "every attack makes us stronger". "Less than two week back, we faced a set of allegations from the US about compliance practices. This is not the first time we have faced such challenges. What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger," he said addressing the 51st Gems and Jewellery Award here. On November 20, 2024, the United States Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an indictment and a civil complaint in the New York district court against Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and Vneet Jaain, key functionaries of Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL). The charges relate to allegations of securities fraud, wire fraud and violation of the SEC guidelines that led to materially false and misleading statements in the bond offering documents of AGEL with respect to anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies. Adani Group had issued a statement denying all allegations as baseless, and said it would seek legal recourse to defend itself. Speaking at Saturday's event, Adani said that despite a lot of vested reporting, no one from Adani's side has been charged with any violation of the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) of the US or any conspiracy to obstruct justice. "The fact is that despite a lot of the vested reporting, no one from the Adani side has been charged with any violation of the FCPA or any conspiracy to obstruct justice. Yet, in today's world, negativity spreads faster than facts," he said, adding that the group was committed to regulatory compliances. "As we work through the legal process, I want to re-confirm our absolute commitment to world class regulatory compliance," he added. Adani Green Energy Ltd, the renewable energy arm of the port-to-energy conglomerate, on November 21 scrapped a USD 600-million bond issue. The 20-year green bond was over-subscribed three times, hours before the US prosecutors charged Gautam Adani and associates with participating in a scheme to pay over USD 250 million bribe to Indian officials in exchange for favourable terms for solar power contracts. Following the indictment, Adani group companies' stocks also tanked in the Mumbai trade. Ten listed firms of the group lost about USD 26 billion (Rs 2.19 lakh crore) in market value -- more than double of what the conglomerate had lost when US short-seller Hindenburg brought out a damning report in January 2023. However, since Wednesday, stocks of all the group firms have recovered. Shares of nine of the 11 listed Adani Group firms ended higher on Friday, with Adani Green Energy surging almost 22 per cent and Adani Energy climbing nearly 16 per cent. "Over the years, I have come to accept that the roadblocks we face are the price of pioneering. The bolder your dreams, the more the world will scrutinise you. But it is precisely in that scrutiny that you must find the courage to rise, to challenge the status quo, and to build a path where none exists," he said. Adani said that the group had successes but the challenges have been bigger. "However, these challenges have not broken us. Instead, they have defined us. They have made us tougher and give us the unshakeable belief that after every fall, we will rise again, stronger and more resilient than before," he said. Last year, the conglomerate had scrapped a Rs 20,000 crore Follow-on Public Offer (FPO) at its flagship firm Adani Enterprises Ltd after US short-seller Hindenburg Research's report in January, which alleged the group of stock manipulation and accounting fraud. Adani had rejected all allegations and threatened to sue Hindenburg for its "reckless" attempt to sabotage the mega share sale at Adani Enterprises. But the allegation led to a free-fall of the group firms' stocks, which at the lowest point saw USD 150 billion in market value being eroded. Talking about the Hindernburg report, he said, "This was not a typical financial strike, it was a double hit, targeting our financial stability and pulling us into a political controversy. All of this was further amplified by certain media with vested interests. But even in the face of such adversity, our commitment to our principles remained strong." Adani said that after successfully raising Rs 20,000 crore from India's largest-ever FPO, the company made the extraordinary decision to return the proceeds. "We then further demonstrated our resilience by raising capital from several international sources and proactively reducing our debt-to-EBITDA ratio to below 2.5 times, an unmatched metric in the global infrastructure space," he said. "Our all-time record financial results in the same year showcased our commitment to operational excellence. Not a single Indian or foreign credit rating agency downgraded us. Finally, the Supreme Court of India's affirmation of our actions validated our approach," he said. He further said that in 2010, when the group was investing in a coal mine in Australia, its objective was to make India energy secure and replace every two tonnes of poor-quality Indian coal with one tonne of high-quality coal from Australia. However, he said, the resistance from NGOs was huge and lasted almost a decade. "It was so intense that we ended up funding the entire project of 10 billion dollars with our own equity. While we now have a world class operating mine in Australia and it could be seen as a great sign of our resilience," he said. Adani also shared his journey of becoming an entrepreneur and highlighted its dominance in various sectors. He also advised businessmen to embrace technology and sustainability for progress, empower and uplift the skilled workforce and nurture the younger generation and equip them to balance tradition with transformation, culture with innovation and legacy with sustainability.

In an average supermarket today, it is easier than ever to find vegan products to supplement your meals. There seems to be a name-brand replacement for every type of dairy, egg, and meat product that you could possibly ever want. And the range of choices is growing by the day. Jump to the list In fact, by 2030, the plant-based foods market is set to hit more than $162 billion, reports Bloomberg . But if you’re craving something meaty, you don’t always have to splash out on a vegan protein alternative. Instead, you could try a simple whole food, plant-based ingredient, like tofu or mushrooms, and get a similar meaty texture. Plus, they’re nutritious (and just as tasty, too!). Is vegan meat healthy? When compared with animal meat, research suggests that plant-based meat is the healthier option. In 2022, for example, one report published in Future Foods looked at 43 studies of plant-based foods and concluded that plant-based meat is healthier and more sustainable than animal products. Beyond Meat RELATED: Replace the Meat in These 6 Meaty Recipes With Seitan, the Easy Plant-Based Protein You Make From Wheat It’s a good source of protein , and can sometimes contain vitamins, but vegan meat is not perfect. “Despite the incredible advances that plant-based producers have made over recent years, there is still huge potential to improve their taste, texture, and how they cook,” report author Chris Bryant, PhD, said . “There’s also enormous potential to innovate with ingredients and processes to improve their nutritional properties—for example, by boosting vitamin content. So while vegan meat is considered by many to be better for you than animal meat, it still has a little way to go in terms of nutritional value. But good news: you can still get that meaty taste, and boost your nutrition simultaneously because there are plenty of meaty, nutritious whole-food ingredients to choose from. Find out more below! What tastes like meat, but isn’t meat? If you are new to a plant-based lifestyle, or even an experienced vegan looking to shake things up, search no further than these seven affordable, plant-based foods. All of these can be prepared and cooked to taste like meat, without the animals. BECOME A VEGNEWS VIP : Get exclusive product deals, freebies, and perks galore!

Tempeh is a soybean-based plant protein that originated in Indonesia. Tempeh is a great replacement for bacon and tastes delicious in a BLT or as a side for your pancakes in the morning. It’s simple to prepare—just slice, season, and sautée—but if that sounds too intensive, you can find pre-seasoned variations in most grocery stores. All you have to do is warm it up in a skillet. Tempeh can be an awesome choice for picky eaters or newer vegans because it has a very inoffensive taste. While it does not aim to replicate the taste or exact texture of meat, with the right seasoning it can still hit the spot. As you begin to expand your plant-based palette, incorporating tempeh will help you increase your creativity and allow you to experience foods in new and interesting ways. Recipe: Miso-Mustard Tempeh Shay Boyd 2 Jackfruit Despite its status as a tropical fruit, jackfruit surprisingly makes another good substitute for meat. It is most often used as a pork substitute in dishes such as barbecue pulled pork or carnitas tacos. Cooking jackfruit is a bit more challenging than tempeh or tofu, but the tasty rewards are worth it. Alternatively, you can easily pick up a package of pre-prepared jackfruit that comes marinated and ready to heat and eat. Whether you have been plant-based for years or for days, if you have not yet added jackfruit to your diet, it is an essential must-try for your next meal plan. Recipe: Smoky Vegan BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sliders Lauren Hartmann and Julie Grace 3 Tofu What kind of list would this be if it didn’t include the oldest and most universal of vegan meat analogs? Most people have at least tried tofu, but the majority do not realize how many different ways it can be prepared to enhance a meal. Tofu can be used to make plant-based versions of anything from frittatas to crêpes to ricotta. It can be used to substitute chicken, beef, eggs, and more. Even if you do not like tofu seasoned and crisped up by itself, it can also be blended, roasted, and mashed beyond recognition into something genuinely delicious. Tofu is arguably the most versatile of any vegan foods (perhaps any food in general), and even if you don’t like it one way, never give up on it, because you may find that with an open mind, it can be used to recreate your favorite meals. Recipe: Spicy Oven-Fried Tofu Quarry Books 4 Beans Here’s to the plant-based pioneers who gifted the world with the knowledge of the delicious diversity of the humble bean . Most omnivores are oblivious to its vast culinary applications, and it’s a darn shame. When seasoned, mashed, and combined with a vegetable or flax egg binder, beans can transform into meaty sausages, thick vegan meatloaf, or super moist vegan burgers. Beans can also replicate ground beef in the form of plant-based sloppy Joes . Spare yourself some time and purchase the canned variety—when you’re adding seasonings and other ingredients, few will be able to tell they’re not homemade. Stock up on black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, lentils, and more to begin your at-home bean butchery. Recipe: Spicy Ancho-Spiced Barbecue Burgers Terry Hope Romero 5 Seitan Technically, seitan is a type of wheat , but it is far from the array of carbs you find lining the bread aisle. Seitan is yet another great protein-packed vegan meat substitute, and it excels in imitating the texture of chicken. It is possible to make your own seitan from a bag of vital wheat gluten, vegetable broth, and spices, but it’s far easier to purchase plain (or even marinated) seitan from the store, as the seitan-making process takes several hours. Like many plant-based foods, seitan takes on the seasoning, marinade, and sauce that accompanies it, making the culinary possibilities extend as far as your spice cabinet. You can cook it how you want, season it how you want, and throw whatever sauce you like on it to satisfy your current cravings. Foods like this make being vegan not just easy, but more delicious than you ever could have imagined.

King oyster mushrooms, in particular, have a soft, meaty texture, and they’re rich in fiber and protein, as well as vitamins and minerals. Portabella, lion’s mane, and chicken of the woods are a few more examples of meaty mushrooms. (In fact, the latter gets its name from its texture and flavor, which is very similar to chicken.) For more on how to cook with mushrooms, we’ve put together a guide on how best to use 15 different types in vegan cooking.

When it is ground up with walnuts and spices, for example, it can form a tasty taco meat that tastes just like ground beef, only it’s totally plant-based and bursting with nutrients, like fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin B6. And, while it’s not totally identical, cauliflower can also make a good chicken wing alternative too, particularly when it’s coated in crunchy, crispy batter, and the right blend of herbs and spices.
