But the Terriers had other ideas. UMaine never scored again and the Terriers rattled off the game’s final 10 points to earn a 59-56 victory. BU improved to 6-7 while UMaine fell to 8-7. Christopher Mantis’ 3-pointer with 2:10 remaining gave UMaine a 56-49 lead before Kyrone Alexander began the comeback with a contested 3-pointer from the left elbow off a Miles Brewster pass with 1:46 remaining. UMaine’s Kellen Tynes had his 12-foot jumper rattle in and out of the basket and Brewster grabbed the rebound and generated a fast break which resulted in an open Michael McNair hitting a three from the right corner to cut the lead to one. Tynes was fouled with 36 seconds left but missed the front end of the one-and-one and Malcolm Chimezie hauled in the rebound. Chimezie gave BU the lead for good with 20 seconds left when he took an Alexander pass and converted a contested lay-in over the front rim. “It was a high-low pass,” said senior forward Chimezie. “Ky has done a really good job all season of finding me in positions where I can score. He’s a great playmaker. He put me in a position I’m comfortable with and it worked out.” UMaine called a timeout and drew up a play but Mantis’ runner was short with three seconds left, BU grabbed the rebound and, following a video review to see if a BU player had gotten a piece of Mantis’ shot, the Terriers received the ball and Ben Palacios iced the game with two free throws after he was fouled on the inbounds pass. Sophomore guard McNair said the key down the stretch was his team was able to get stops. “We pride ourselves on getting defensive stops and then getting a good shot after that,” said McNair. “Bottom line is if you’re up seven with two minutes left, you’ve got to close it out,” said UMaine head coach Chris Markwood. “We had opportunities. We missed the front end of a one-and-one, gave up a free throw rebound and the two threes really hurt us. “Those two threes down the stretch gave them some life and they finished it out. They executed better down the stretch,” Markwood added. “We just didn’t execute what we’re supposed to do (down the stretch),” said graduate student guard Tynes. “We have to grow from it, learn from it. “I missed free throws late. If I had hit those, we would have done better. It’s on me,” said Tynes. UMaine led 27-19 at the half and BU coach Joe Jones said his team had to simplify the game in the second half and get the ball inside or drive to the basket. “We couldn’t run our offense in the first half. Maine is really tough. They do a great job defensively and they’re so well-coached. They disrupt your offense. We had to drive it in or throw it in (to the paint). And then we made some plays late to win the game,” added Jones who was “really proud” of his players for the comeback. McNair finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Terriers. Alexander added 13 points, five rebounds and two assists and Chimezie wound up with eight points, seven rebounds and two assists. Palacios had seven points and three rebounds and Otto Landrum had a game-high eight rebounds to go with four points and two assists. Tynes paced UMaine with 17 points, four assists and three steals which were all game-highs. Mantis had 12 points and two rebounds, Quion Burns had eight points and three rebounds. Keelan Steele and A,J. Lopez each had six points and Lopez also had three assists and three rebounds. Jaden Clayton had a team-high five rebounds to go with four points, three assists and two steals. BU outrebounded UMaine 40-25 including a 10-5 edge in offensive rebounds. BU shot 59.1 percent from the floor in the second half including a 5-for-10 showing beyond the 3-point line while UMaine shot just 34.6 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from long range over the final 20 minutes.

Ebiketie has three sacks in the past two games, giving him four for the season. Overall, the Falcons have had nine sacks in the past two games. They almost doubled their NFL-low total of 10 through their first 11 games. Whoever plays quarterback. Aidan O'Connell injured his left knee Sunday at Tampa Bay, so his availability is unknown. O'Connell is not a mobile quarterback, so if he plays, he likely wouldn't be as limited as a more athletic player at that position. If Desmond Ridder gets the call, he'll face the team where he started 13 games last season. Falcons QB Kirk Cousins vs. Raiders defense. Cousins has been intercepted the past four games, and he has been picked off six times combined the past two weeks. Las Vegas' best hope in forcing Cousins into even more mistakes is pressuring, and the Raiders have nine sacks over the past two weeks. They also had two interceptions against the Bucs. Falcons: Rookie RB Jase McClellan was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. The sixth-round pick earlier had missed time with a foot problem and had only 13 carries for 32 yards. RB Carlos Washington Jr. was signed to the active roster from the practice squad as depth behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. ... ILB Troy Andersen (knee) and WR Casey Washington (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. Raiders: RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is expected to be activated after missing the past three games. CB Nate Hobbs (ankle) hasn't played since Nov. 3 at Cincinnati. The Falcons have won the past five meetings. ... Their 37-point victory in the most recent matchup in 2020 was the most lopsided game in the series' history. ... That game also was the second highest-scoring game by the winning team, behind the then-Oakland Raiders' 50-19 victory in 1979. Falcons WR Drake London needs only two catches to pass Calvin Ridley (217) for the most receptions in the first three seasons with Atlanta. ... London has 75 receptions for 866 yards and six touchdowns this season. ... Cousins has an unhealthy ratio of 17 touchdown passes to 15 interceptions. ... The Raiders' Brock Bowers has caught 87 passes to set an NFL rookie record tight ends record. Sam LaPorta had 86 last season for the Detroit Lions. Bowers also is 67 yards from becoming the third rookie tight end with 1,000 yards, joining Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts in 2021 and the Chicago Bears' Mike Ditka in 1961. ... DE Maxx Crosby is half a sack from becoming the third Raiders player since 1982 with 60 for his career. The other two are Greg Townsend (107 1/2) and Howie Long (84). ... LB Robert Spillane is one of seven players this season with at least 100 tackles, an interception and a sack. ... Las Vegas has committed 4.86 penalties per game since coach Antonio Pierce took over at midseason last season, best in the league. ... The Raiders have had at least one sack in 31 consecutive games, the third-longest active streak behind the Baltimore Ravens with 51 and Philadelphia Eagles with 41. Las Vegas has nine combined in the past two games, tied for best in the league with the Falcons. Raiders RB Sincere McCormick has secured the starting job, and he has averaged at least 5.2 yards per carry in each of his past three games. His rushing total keeps increasing, with McCormick gaining 78 yards against the Bucs. Especially given the uncertainty at quarterback, expect the Raiders to rely on McCormick.

US President-elect Donald Trump has proposed that EU members send peacekeepers to Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire with Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Trump ran for the White House on the promise of negotiating a swift end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but has been reluctant to reveal any specifics of his actual proposal since winning the election. Speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky last Saturday, Trump argued that “Europe” should play the main role in monitoring a ceasefire and that no US troops would be involved, the Journal reported, citing “officials briefed on the meeting.” The Journal’s sources claimed that the proposal “started as quiet discussions between British and French officials about the possibility” before including Trump, Zelensky and other governments. According to one source, Trump also pushed the EU to demand of China to pressure Russia to end the conflict, suggesting the use of tariffs as leverage. Discussions are still at such an early stage, according to the Journal, that the questions of which countries would be involved, with how many troops, and any US role in supporting the mission remain unresolved. The hypothetical peacekeeping or monitoring mission in Ukraine would not be under NATO command but would involve troops from member countries of the US-led bloc, according to the unnamed officials, who admitted this was something they were not sure Russia would accept. It was likewise unclear whether Washington’s European allies would be able to spare the actual soldiers or have the political support at home for such a mission. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has invited the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Poland to meet with Zelensky in Brussels to discuss security guarantees for Kiev, two officials told the Journal. According to unnamed aides, however, Trump is not “wedded” to any particular plan for ending the conflict and “hasn’t thought deeply about the issue” as he prepares the handover of power on January 20. Russia has repeatedly said that Ukraine’s association with NATO would be a threat to its national security. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has described Ukraine’s membership in the bloc as “categorically unacceptable” to Moscow, citing it as one of the major causes of the current conflict.Former EastEnders actress Maisie Smith has shared a touching message with partner Max George after he revealed his health worries . The Wanted star took to Instagram on Thursday to explain he will be in hospital over Christmas after doctors discovered he had heart issues. He had gone to hospital feeling unwell and was thoroughly checked over when the shocking discovery was made. Now, Maisie has took to social media to comment on his update. In a sweet three-word message, she penned: "Love you Max," followed by a love heart emoji. The comment followed a number of other messages from friends and followers, including his The Wanted 2.0 bandmate Siva Kaneswaran. Max had earlier revealed his health scare on the platform. Posting alongside a photo of him giving a thumbs up while lying in a hospital bed, he explained how he is now waiting for further tests to determine the extent of the issues and what surgery he may need. He did, however, say he expects it to be a “difficult few weeks/months”. He wrote: “Hey everyone, yesterday I felt really unwell and was taken in to hospital. Unfortunately after some tests they’ve found that I have some issues with my heart. I have a lot more tests to determine the extent of the problems and what surgery I will need to get me back on my feet. It’s gonna be a difficult few weeks/months... and Christmas in a hospital bed wasn’t exactly what I had planned.” The singer praised those around him, saying he is “surrounded with love and support”. He included his “wonderful” partner, Maisie in his comment, The pair met while they were competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020. They currently live together in Manchester and are expected to play a married couple in Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War Of The Worlds, which will tour in 2025. However, it remains to be seen whether this will still happen. In Max's health update, he added: “Although this is a huge shock and no doubt a set back, it’s something I’ll take on with all I’ve got. I count myself very lucky that this was caught when it was.” The shock comes just two years after his bandmate Tom Parker died in 2022 at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. George, who helped carry Parker’s coffin at his funeral alongside fellow bandmates Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes, previously said on This Morning that he continued to message his late bandmate following his death as it brought him “a bit of comfort”.
