Sanders helped the Wolfpack (6-1) earn a second win following one-possession games against Vanderbilt and VCU. After hitting the decisive 3-pointer with five seconds left in Friday's 64-61 win over VCU, Sanders made 7 of 10 shots, hit three 3s and sank 10 of 13 free throws Sunday. Nick Davidson added 223 points as Nevada led by as many as 19 and shot 58.9 percent. Brandon Love contributed 11 on 5-of-5 shooting as the Wolfpack scored 46 points in the paint and scored at least 85 for the fourth time this season. Marchelus Avery led the Cowboys (4-2) with 15 points and Arturo Dean added 13. Robert Jennings and Abou Ousmane added 11 apiece but leading scorer Bryce Thompson was held to seven points on 1-of-9 shooting as Oklahoma State shot 42 percent and 73.2 percent (30-of-41) at the line. After Avery's 3 forged a 12-12 tie with 13:41 remaining, Nevada gradually gained separation. The Wolfpack took a 24-15 lead on Chuck Bailey's jumper in the paint with 8:28 left but the Cowboys inched back, getting within 33-31 on a dunk by Avery with 4:11 left. Another Bailey jumper staked Nevada to a 40-33 lead by halftime. Nevada began pulling away early in the second half as it scored eight in a row for a 52-40 lead on a basket by Love with 16:44 left. A 3 by Sanders opened a 62-43 lead with 14:06 remaining before Oklahoma State charged back. After Nevada made eight straight shots, the Cowboys countered with 11 straight points and trailed 62-54 with 11:19 left on a 3-pointer by Avery. Thompson made his first basket by sinking a jumper with 10:37 left to get Oklahoma State within 64-56 left, and Keller's triple cut the margin to 70-64 nearly three minutes later. The Cowboys were within 78-72 on a basket by Avery with 3:56 remaining, but he fouled out about a minute later and the Wolfpack outscored Oklahoma State 12-6 the rest of the way as Sanders sank five free throws. --Field Level Media

HYDRAA set to reshape Hyderabad skylineNBA to host preseason games in China five years after league was effectively blocked from the country
(The Center Square) – President-elect Donald Trump wants to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and one of his supporters in the U.S. Senate recently filed a bill to make it happen. U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., recently filed a bill titled the "Returning Education to Our States Act." His bill would eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and redistribute any "critical federal programs" to other departments, according to a press release from his office. Created in 1979, the Federal Department of Education was founded to collect data and advise schools on best practices , the release said . However, its role since then has changed . "In the 45 years since then, it has grown into an oversized bureaucracy with a budget that's 449% larger than it was at its founding," the release said. "Despite the Department spending $16,000 per student per year, standardized test scores have been dropping over the past ten years, further displaying the Department's ineffectiveness on the quality of education for American students . Any grants or funding from the Department are only given to states and educational institutions in exchange for adopting the one-size-fits-all standards put forth by the Department ." Rounds called the federal Department of Education harmful and argued the country would have better education without it. "The federal Department of Education has never educated a single student, and it's long past time to end this bureaucratic Department that causes more harm than good," Rounds said in the release. "We all know local control is best when it comes to education. Everyone raised in South Dakota can think of a teacher who played a big part in their educational journey. Local school boards and state Departments of Education know best what their students need, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C." Rounds added that he looks forward to working with Republicans in Congress in hopes of making it happen once the party takes back control of the U.S. Senate next year. "For years, I've worked toward removing the federal Department of Education," Rounds said in the release. "I'm pleased that President-elect Trump shares this vision, and I'm excited to work with him and Republican majorities in the Senate and House to make this a reality. This legislation is a roadmap to eliminating the federal Department of Education by practically rehoming these federal programs in the departments where they belong, which will be critical as we move into next year." Critics have argued that abolishing the Department of Education would make federal student aid more difficult to get and put certain schools that use federal aid as an outsized portion of their budgets in danger of closing. The bill Rounds filed would redirect programs he sees as vital to the Departments of Interior, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Labor, and State. Under his bill, the Department of the Interior would manage the following programs, according to the release: Native American-Serving Institutions Programs, Alaska Native Education Equity Program, American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services Program, Indian Education Formula Grants and National Activities, Native American and Alaska Native Children in School Program, Native Hawaiian Education, Special Programs for Indian Children, Tribally Controlled Postsecondary Career and Technical Education Program, and Impact Aid Programs. Similarly, the Department of the Treasury would get these programs, the release said: William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, Federal Family Education Loan Program, Federal Perkins Loan Program, Federal Pell Grant Program, Health Education Assistance Loan Program, and the Education Sciences Reform Act. Plus, the Department of Health and Human Services would manage the following, the release said: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, American Printing House for the Blind, Helen Keller Center for Deaf/Blind Youth and Adults, Federal Real Property Assistance Program, and Special Education Grants. Also , the Department of Labor would manage: All Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education programs, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Randolph Sheppard Vending Facility Program, and Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants , according to the release . And the Department of State would manage the Fulbright-Hays Program under this bill. One can read the bill here .

Trump took to Truth Social to air his grievances with some of his political adversaries in a passive-aggressive Christmas day message. He began by accusing the Chinese government of illegally controlling the Panama Canal, which is untrue as the canal has been controlled by Panama since Dec. 31, 1999. "Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in 'repair' money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about 'anything,'" he wrote. Trump continued to mention Canada and Greenland, nations the President-elect has overtly expressed interest in expanding U.S. control over. The president-elect then began writing about Biden and those he granted clemency to, which consisted of 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations, according to a press release from the White House. Trump further mentioned the 37 federal death row inmates whose prison sentences Biden commuted. "Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden," Trump continued. "I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky 'souls' but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL!" This is not the first time Biden has received criticism for his decision to commute these death penalty sentences, instead sentencing the inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. "These are among the worst killers in the world and this abhorrent decision by Joe Biden is a slap in the face to the victims, their families, and their loved ones," Steven Cheung, Trump's communication director, said in a statement. "President Trump stands for the rule of law, which will return when he is back in the White House after he was elected with a massive mandate from the American people." "Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," Biden said in a statement released on Monday. "But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice-president, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted," he continued. Originally published by Latin Times.
