Bryce Thompson scored 17 points and achieved a milestone as Oklahoma State defeated Miami 80-74 on Friday afternoon in a Charleston Classic consolation game in Charleston, S.C. Thompson made 6-of-14 shots from the floor, surpassing 1,000 points for his career at Oklahoma State (4-1), which also got 15 points from Marchelus Avery. The Cowboys won in large part thanks to their impressive 3-point shooting (10-for-22, 45.5 percent). Oklahoma State backup guard Arturo Dean, a Miami native, posted eight points and one steal. He led the nation in steals last season while playing for Florida International. Miami (3-2) has lost two straight games in Charleston, failing to take a lead at any point. They will play on Sunday against either Nevada or VCU. The Hurricanes on Friday were led by Nijel Pack, who had a game-high 20 points. Brandon Johnson had a double-double for Miami with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Matthew Cleveland scored 11 points and Lynn Kidd and Paul Djobet added 10 points apiece for Miami. Miami, which fell behind 7-0 in Thursday's loss to Drake, got behind 9-0 on Friday as Abou Ousmane scored six of his eight points. Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 18 before settling for a 43-27 advantage at the break. Pack led all first-half scorers with 10 points, but Miami shot just 29.6 percent from the floor, including 3-of-13 on 3-pointers (23.1). Oklahoma State shot 48.4 percent, including 8-for-15 on 3-pointers (53.3 percent) before intermission. The Cowboys also had a 14-8 edge in paint points. In the second half, Miami closed its 20-point deficit to 55-42 with 12:12 left. Miami got a bit closer as two straight short jumpers by Kidd, trimming the deficit to 73-62 with 3:25 to play. The Hurricanes cut it to 77-70 on Pack's 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining, but the Cowboys hit their free throws to close out the win. --Field Level MediaNew details about life, background of Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect
MrBeast and T-Series have finally settled their years-long feud after the label’s CEO met up with the YouTube star in an unexpected collaboration. On December 9, YouTube juggernaut Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson linked up with the CEO of T-Series, Bhushan Kumar, in a meeting that no one saw coming. After finally beating out T-Series to become YouTube’s most-subscribed channel in June, Donaldson decided to offer an olive branch to his infamous rival by offering to subscribe to the company’s channel... but only if they subscribed to him first. After jokingly trying to ‘fake out’ Kumar after he subscribed to his channel, he eventually subscribed to T-Series as well, officially putting their feud to rest. Fans await PewDiePie’s response to MrBeast’s T-Series collab However, commenters are divided on this collaboration, with several humorously pointing out that MrBeast has seemingly “betrayed” fellow YouTuber PewDiePie , who he staunchly supported in his viral fight against T-Series back in 2019. “The old MrBeast would be ashamed,” one fan wrote on TikTok. “So it’s treason,” another joked. “We got MrBeast following T-Series before GTA 6,” yet another quipped. Thus far, PewDiePie hasn’t responded to T-Series’ collab with MrBeast, who successfully “avenged” the Swedish creator by surpassing the Indian music label earlier this year. MrBeast was instrumental in PewDiePie’s ‘battle’ against T-Series, even advertising the Swede’s channel at the Super Bowl by wearing shirts that read, “Sub 2 PewDiePie.” Stephen Gostkowski misses the 46-yard FG! pic.twitter.com/jEUct0ObCr But the YouTuber would end up surpassing his idol in 2022, leading PewDiePie to joke that Donaldson should delete his channel as penance. Since then, the two have collaborated together on a video and have remained fast friends. Related: Donaldson’s latest collab with T-Series comes just ahead of his upcoming Amazon game show , Beast Games, which set 28 Guinness World Records and reportedly spent a whopping $14 million on building an entire city for contestants to live in during filming. The show is slated to air on December 19 , with episodes launching weekly in yet another major victory for the internet superstar.WASHINGTON – A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Recommended Videos Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.Bulgaria, Romania Step Closer To Schengen As Austria Drops Veto
