Jalen Ware scored 10 points and Christopher Flippin had 10 rebounds for Maryland Eastern Shore (2-6), which had its lowest point total of the season. The team’s previous low came in 102-63 loss to Vanderbilt on Nov. 4.All-star Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko will make his first start of the season Tuesday. Head coach Rick Tocchet confirmed after morning skate that Demko will be in net when the Canucks host the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old netminder from San Diego, Calif., last played on April 24 when the Canucks bested the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of a first-round playoff series. He suffered an injury to the popliteus muscle in his knee during the game and has been working his way back ever since. A number of factors led to Demko starting Tuesday, Tocchet said. “You want him to feel comfortable. You want to, obviously, communicate with him,” he said. “(Kevin Lankinen) was playing well, too. So there wasn’t a pressing issue to get him in. But we want to get him in. We’re excited. Obviously he’s a huge part of our team.” Demko had a 35-14-2 record with a .918 save percentage, a 2.45 goals-against average and five shutouts in regular-season play last year and played in the all-star game for the second time in his career. The veteran goalie is managing his personal expectations as he returns to game action, however. “I think it’d be foolish to say that I’m going to come back and be perfectly sharp and feel like I have my ‘A’ game in game one. Obviously, that takes a little bit of time,” Demko told reporters last week. “Just seeing game reps and things is kind of a last step of fully doing rehab. So I’m not really putting an expectation on that. “Obviously, the way Lanks has played kind of takes a little bit of pressure off of myself to come in and not feel like I have to save the world.” Demko returned to Vancouver’s lineup last week, backing up Lankinen for games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Canucks signed Lankinen to a US$875,000 deal during training camp and the Finnish goaltender has split the crease with Arturs Silovs this season, backstopping Vancouver to a 14-8-4 record. Lankinen has been “unbelievable” this season, Demko said. “It’s been really fun to get to know him and be able to watch him play,” he said. “It’s a challenging position he was put in, coming into a new team and being able to manage the workload that he’s been given.” Demko’s return to the crease should act as motivation for the Canucks’ skaters as the team takes on the Blues, Tocchet said. “I think, when you look at the way Demmer has worked hard to get back, a lot of lonely times by himself, it should give guys juice that you want to play well in front of him,” the coach said. You’d be crazy not to. “Maybe there’s extra shot blocking, situations to get the puck in deep when we’re tired to give him a break, things like that. I think we need to do that tonight for him.”
Nebraska will be trying to preserve its perfect in-state record when it hosts South Dakota on Wednesday night in a nonconference game in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss. This will be South Dakota's second nonconference game against a Big Ten opponent, after a 96-77 loss at Iowa on Nov. 12. In December, the Coyotes also visit Santa Clara, hovering near the top 100 in KenPom adjusted efficiency, before jumping into Big Sky play. "The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level MediaCousins Properties Announces Public Offering of 9,500,000 Shares of Common Stock

Worrying Scene Involving Juraj Slafkovsky from Yesterday's Game Has Just SurfacedYellowstone fans all saying the same thing about show creator Taylor Sheridan after Kevin Costner's exit Have YOU got a story? Email tips@dailymail.com By TERRY ZELLER and BRIAN GALLAGHER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:53, 9 December 2024 | Updated: 23:20, 9 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Yellowstone fans were less than thrilled with the latest episode’s heavy focus on Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the show who also plays horse trainer Travis Wheatley . The social media consensus was clear: Sheridan was taking up far too much of the action for a character who’s little more than a bit part. Many fans were quick to point out that this seemed intentional—now that series star Kevin Costner is no longer part of the show . Costner departed Yellowstone before part two of the final Season 5 in June, amid much drama, including rumors of a feud between him and Sheridan . Now it seems Sheridan may have been making up for the absence of Costner's John Dutton with some screen time of his own, complete with a strip poker game that featured real-life supermodel Bella Hadid . '15 minutes of story and scenes wasted with watching Taylor Sheridan showboat on his own show, partying and just doing his thing. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what he does in real life too,' wrote one unimpressed viewer. Taylor also appeared in a pivotal role in the finale of his show Lioness on Sunday. And he had a role on the Yellowstone prequel 1883. Yellowstone fans were less than thrilled with the latest episode’s heavy focus on Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the show who also plays horse trainer Travis Wheatley; (seen in 2021) Many fans were quick to point out that this seemed intentional—now that series star Kevin Costner (seen in April) is no longer part of the show Another added, 'As if Taylor Sheridan wasted one of the last episodes of this show by inserting himself so he could parade around with half-naked women. We could have had 8 more episodes of Kevin Costner instead of this bs #Yellowstone.' One fan lamented, 'Yeah, and they’ve treated the best actor on the show, @modernwest, Kevin Costner. He was willing to come back, and of course, Sheridan’s ego got in the way. What a sad end for John Dutton’s legacy.' Read More Yellowstone fans speculate on Kayce's new plan to save the ranch in the show's penultimate episode Someone else quipped, 'Being generous on the 15 minutes :) Felt more like an hour with 25 minutes of storylines that we actually want to see.' The episode had all the subtlety of a neon sign flashing, according to another critic, as they commented, 'The episode was a look at me I’m Taylor Sheridan. He may as well have Kevin Costner just come out of the shower at this point.' As for the rumored feud between Tyalro and Kevin, another follower chimed in, 'I think now we know: what caused the fall out with Costner, oh boy Sheridan wanted to be the man lol, and I sure do miss Costner editing this guy's terrible scripts.' Of course, fans were shocked by a surprise cameo by Hadid and her boyfriend Adan Banuelos in Sunday's penultimate episode. The new episode found Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) travelling to Texas to oversee Travis Wheatley (Sheridan) selling the ranch's horses, following last week's episode that featured another shocking death . Fans were quite surprised when Beth knocked on Travis' door and found it being answered by his girlfriend Sadie, played by Hadid, who is aside from being a supermodel is also an accomplished equestrian. The social media consensus was clear: Sheridan was taking up far too much of the action for a character who’s little more than a bit part Her boyfriend Banuelos - an accomplished cowboy himself, being voted into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame at age 28, the youngest ever to be inducted - was also seen in a brief scene involving Travis playing strip poker. Fans did not hesitate to take to X (formerly Twitter ) to relay their surprise at seeing this couple make their cameo appearances. @nourishing4what said, 'Bella Hadid on Yellowstone was definitely not on my 2024 bingo card...' @shuIkie added, 'did i just see bella hadid in that yellowstone show??' 'Me seeing Bella Hadid on #Yellowstone with her boyfriend. what is going on,' added X user @vickysal99. Jackie Arnold (@jackiearnolddd_) added, 'Bella hadid on Yellowstone is wild I love it.' @theunhingedgem said in all caps, 'BELLA HADID ON YELLOWSTONE MADE MY WHOLE NIGHT.' 'Bella Hadid in tonight’s episode of Yellowstone & not-surprisingly she is stunning,' said @berstreet. He was only a small character on the show for many episodes but now his part is bigger Kevin brought the A list power for years While Bella Hadid is best known as a supermodel, she is also an expert equestrian rider who once had ambitions of competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics. However her mother Yolanda revealed in January 2016 that her daughter had to give up her equestrian dreams after she was diagnosed with Lyme's disease as she had to walk away from the sport . 'Bella had to give up her lifelong dream of having a professional riding career and a shot at the Olympics due to her severe symptoms and inability to ride,' Yolanda said. 'This was the biggest heartbreak of her life and an extremely sensitive subject for her. She is resilient and focused on a new direction--she's made a name for herself in the modeling industry while she struggles with symptoms of chronic Lyme every day,' she added. Hadid did get back in the saddle, as she was spotted riding at an equestrian event in Florida back in March 2023 . She was also photographed on horseback with boyfriend Adan Banuelos at the New York City premiere of his short film series Window To The West. Hadid is no stranger to acting either, appearing in three episodes of Ramy and four episodes of Love Advent. It remains to be seen if both Hadid and Banuelos will return for next week's Yellowstone finale or not. @AAmmyy_J said, 'Not Bella Hadid being on this week’s Yellowstone,' while @allyckontos said, 'BELLA HADID IN YELLOWSTONE' Yellowstone fans were shocked by a surprise cameo by supermodel Bella Hadid and her boyfriend Adan Banuelos in Sunday's penultimate episode Her boyfriend Banuelos - an accomplished cowboy himself, being voted into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame at age 28, the youngest ever to be inducted - was also seen in a brief scene involving Travis playing strip poker The episode didn't feature any deaths, though it did seem to set up what may well be an epic finale. The family auctioned off all of the ranch's horses and cattle, as many a ranch hand questioned the future of the Yellowstone-Dutton ranch. While the millions they made at auction bought them some time, Kayce came up with a way that he thinks can save the ranch: by giving it away. Who Kayce plans on giving the ranch away to remains to be seen, though it's possible that he could give it back to the Indians, completing a theory fans have suggested since the 1883 prequel finale. An Indian told John Dutton's great great grandfather that his family would control this land for seven generations before his people take it back. John Dutton's family is in fact the seventh generation to run the ranch, and it seems that Kayce just may give up the ranch to save it in next week's finale. Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) did tell Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith) that he wanted him to stay on at the ranch to help 'build it back up, while the rest of the ranch hands pondered where they might be working next. Teeter (Jennifer Landon) mourned the loss of Colby (Denim Richards), with Beth helping by taking her to a tourist bar to mess with the out-of-towners.

Jamie insisted that if she ruins him, she'll be ruining the whole family, though she insisted that she'll reveal he was actually adopted by John and is not related to the Dutton's by blood. Next week's finale will feature the burial of John Dutton, with Beth whispering into her father's casket, 'I will avenge you.' Yellowstone returns with the massive finale on Sunday, December 15 at 8 PM ET on Paramount Network.

Assistant coach Dan Soper says Ulster must "get up and go again" after the 61-21 hammering by holders Toulouse in their opening Investec Champions Cup game. Richie Murphy's youthful and injury-hit side shipped nine tries at the Stade Ernest-Wallon and have now won just two of their past 11 games in the Champions Cup. They are hoping to bounce back at home to Bordeaux on Saturday and Soper says their return to training has been "tough" following the heavy defeat. "We were off yesterday so everyone has gathered their thoughts and there were a few home truths today," he said. "Toulouse are a hell of a team and it was a tough ask, but there were some areas where we let ourselves down and we are disappointed with that." Soper believes the quick turnaround after playing on Sunday means that Ulster can ill afford to dwell on the loss, but they must also try and rectify some mistakes made in France. It is another difficult test at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday as they welcome a Bordeaux side second in France's Top 14. "We've been out on the pitch today so you can't dwell too much on things you have to get up and go again," he added. "It's a young group and they're learning all the time, but we need to start putting in performances." Soper does hope that despite a lengthy injury list, Ulster can respond to the emphatic Toulouse defeat and put on a performance to be proud of on home soil. "There's always pressure and expectation on Ulster playing at home this time of year, but that's a privilege of what we do, and we will be turning up on Saturday expecting to perform and get a result," he said. "Whatever structure there has been in Europe, a home game has usually been a must-win if you think you have a chance of progressing." Bordeaux opened their European campaign with an impressive 42-28 win over Leicester on Sunday and Soper is wary of the threats they pose. "This might sound ridiculous given Toulouse have Antoine Dupont but in transition, they are even more dangerous, some of their broken-field attack is frighteningly good," he explained. "They're another top calibre side so limiting their opportunities to do their thing will be important." Soper also believes Ulster need to have a greater emphasis on their display this week and not get fixated on what Bordeaux will do. "As a coaching group I don't know how long we spent saying to the players 'this is what Toulouse do and this is what to be wary of' instead of saying 'this is us'. "We've looked at Bordeaux, but we're trying to get the focus on us and what we didn't do well enough and what we are in control of doing better."China EV100 to organise EV forum, promote greater collaboration with MalaysiaThe suspect in the high-profile killing of a health insurance CEO that has gripped the United States graduated from an Ivy League university, reportedly hails from a wealthy family, and wrote social media posts brimming with cerebral musings. Luigi Mangione, 26, was thrust into the spotlight Monday after police revealed he is their person of interest in the brutal murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a father of two, last week in broad daylight in Manhattan in a case that laid bare deep frustration and anger with America's privatized medical system. News of his capture in Pennsylvania -- following a tip from a McDonald's worker --triggered an explosion of online activity, with Mangione quickly amassing new followers on social media as citizen sleuths and US media tried to understand who he is. While some lauded him as a hero and lamented his arrest, others analyzed his intellectual takes in search of ideological clues. A photo on one of his social media accounts includes an X-ray of an apparently injured spine. No explicit political affiliation has emerged. Meanwhile, memes and jokes proliferated, many riffing on his first name and comparing him to the "Mario Bros." character Luigi, sometimes depicted in AI-altered images wielding a gun or holding a Big Mac. "Godspeed. Please know that we all hear you," wrote one user on Facebook. "I want to donate to your defense fund," added another. According to Mangione's LinkedIn profile, he is employed as a data engineer at TrueCar, a California-based online auto marketplace. A company spokesperson told AFP Mangione "has not been an employee of our company since 2023." Although he had been living in Hawaii ahead of the killing, he originally hails from Towson, Maryland, near Baltimore. He comes from a prominent and wealthy Italian-American family, according to the Baltimore Banner. The family owns local businesses, including the Hayfields Country Club, its website says. A standout student, Mangione graduated at the top of his high school class in 2016. In an interview with his local paper at the time, he praised his teachers for fostering a passion for learning beyond grades and encouraging intellectual curiosity. A former student who knew Mangione at the Gilman School told AFP the suspect struck him as "a normal guy, nice kid." "There was nothing about him that was off, at least from my perception," this person said, asking that their name not be used. "Seemed to just be smiling, and kind of seemed like he was a smart kid. Ended up being valedictorian, which confirmed that," the former student said. Mangione went on to attend the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, where he completed both a bachelor's and master's degree in computer science by 2020, according to a university spokesperson. While at Penn, Mangione co-led a group of 60 undergraduates who collaborated on video game projects, as noted in a now-deleted university webpage, archived on the Wayback Machine. On Instagram, where his following has skyrocketed from hundreds to tens of thousands, Mangione shared snapshots of his travels in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. He also posted shirtless photos flaunting a six-pack and appeared in celebratory posts with fellow members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. However, it is on X (formerly Twitter) that users have scoured Mangione's posts for potential motives. His header photo -- an X-ray of a spine with bolts -- remains cryptic, with no public explanation. Finding a coherent political ideology has also proved elusive, though he had written a review of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto on the online site goodreads, calling it "prescient." Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, carried out a string of bombings in the United States from 1978 to 1995, a campaign he said was aimed at halting the advance of modern society and technology. Mangione called Kaczynski "rightfully imprisoned," while also saying "'violence never solved anything' is a statement uttered by cowards and predators." According to CNN, handwritten documents recovered when Mangione was arrested included the phrase "these parasites had it coming." Mangione has also linked approvingly to posts criticizing secularism as a harmful consequence of Christianity's decline. In April, he wrote, "Horror vacui (nature abhors a vacuum)." The following month, he posted an essay he wrote in high school titled "How Christianity Prospered by Appealing to the Lower Classes of Ancient Rome." In another post from April, he speculated that Japan's low birthrate stems from societal disconnection, adding that "fleshlights" and other vaginal-replica sex toys should be banned. ia/nro/dw
