Eddie Lampkin and Donnie Freeman both turned in double-double performances as Syracuse snapped a two-game losing streak with a 75-63 win over Bucknell Saturday at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. Lampkin scored 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Freeman finished with 15 points and 11 boards as the Orange (6-6) improved to 11-1 all-time against the Bison (4-9). Jaquan Carlos chipped in 11 for Syracuse. Josh Bascoe was impressive in defeat, knocking down six 3-pointers and scoring 22 in all. Noah Williamson added 12 for the Bison, who dropped their seventh in a row but didn't go away quietly. Trailing 43-31 at the half, the Bison pulled within 48-43 after a dunk by Pip Ajayi with 14:13 left. That was as close as Bucknell would get, however, as it fell short in its bid for its first win over a power conference team since beating Vanderbilt 75-72 victory during the 2016-17 campaign. In the final nonleague game for both teams, Syracuse shook off a slow start with a 9-0 run ignited by a Lucas Taylor 3-pointer and capped with a layup by Freeman that put the Orange up 12-6 with 14:30 to go. The Orange led 17-12 with 11:23 to go after a 3-pointer by Elijah Moore, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Jayden Williams and Bascoe put the Bison on top 21-19 with 8:04 remaining. With Bucknell up 26-22, momentum shifted in Syracuse's favor on the strength of a 16-2 run, highlighted by Freeman's 3-pointer that gave the Orange their first double-digit lead at 38-28 with 1:49 to play in the half. Freeman hit another shot from distance with seven seconds left, shooting over a defender from well beyond the line and extending the lead to 43-31. He high-fived teammates as he came off the court. His bucket was one of six 3-pointers Syracuse connected on in the opening half while shooting 57.6 percent (17-of-30) from the field. The Orange outscored the Bison 18-3 over the final 5:39, limiting Bucknell to only one field goal. --Field Level MediaIn conclusion, China's 1.2% year-on-year increase in total import and export value in November reflects the country's economic resilience, adaptability, and commitment to sustainable growth.

He knew he had just clinched the Huskers' first winning season since 2016. Needing one more first down to finish off the Golden Eagles in Saturday's Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, Nebraska turned to Johnson, Harlem's native son, for one more big run on a day he may not ever forget. Ahead of the fourth-and-1 play, which, if not converted, would have given Boston College one last chance to win the game, Johnson said the message was simple. "Coach just said to get the first down and protect the ball," Johnson said. "This is your city, so finish it." And that he did. Johnson burst through for 11 yards. Ball game. "It was a great run," Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said. "He knew the situation. He knew four-minute and it was a really good play." For Johnson, who scored his first touchdown of the season earlier in the game, Saturday's 20-15 Pinstripe Bowl win was a perfect bow to a college career that never seemed to go his way. It was also the place he needed to be for closure of struggle that very few people knew about. Following the win, Rhule revealed to media that Johnson's mother, Angela, had passed away in November after battling sickness throughout the entire football season. Rahmir didn't want to tell anyone, according to Rhule, because he didn't want to be a distraction to the team. Rhule said Johnson went back home to New York just once, during Nebraska's bye week following its loss to UCLA, to mourn with family. But there was never a doubt in Johnson's mind that he wouldn't finish out a college career that started six years ago. "I love this program," Johnson said. "I'm dedicated to this place and even with news like that I wanted to play for these guys." In doing so, Johnson put together his best performance of the season, rushing for 60 yards on 10 carries, and scoring Nebraska's first touchdown of the game from 4 yards out. It ultimately earned him the game's Most Valuable Player award, which he had to to leave the Yankee Stadium stands where he celebrating with friends and family — and the Harlem Jets, his youth football program — to receive at center stage on the field. "Those are the men that keep me in coaching," Rhule said of Johnson following the game. "He is awesome. For him to go out there and do that today. For him to have that (final) run and for us to have to get him out of the stands to accept the MVP trophy... It's never been about him." For one Saturday, however, the moment was Johnson's, because for a player that has had very few things go his way over the course of his college career, it was deserving. Johnson has dealt with injuries throughout most of his time in Lincoln, suffering a season-ending injury after just three games last year. Rhule, who recalled Johnson crying in his office after that injury, said Johnson returned for a sixth season with no guarantees. During the regular season, Johnson rushed for just 201 yards on 45 carries. Though injuries happened again, causing him to miss three more games during the regular season, including his final one in Memorial Stadium against Wisconsin, Johnson never wavered. "When I came back for my sixth year, I wanted to do something special," Johnson said. "Everything I do is for Nebraska and this team." And in his final performance, like in most Broadway-type stories, Johnson saved his best for last. "I think this is a fitting end for him," Rhule said. "I hope he wears his pads on the subway, goes to his apartment and takes that MVP trophy out somewhere." Blackshirts finish strong In its first game under new defensive coordinator John Butler, Rhule said he felt the transition was "seamless" with the Huskers holding one of college football's best rushing teams to a season-low. "There was no drop off," Rhule said of the Blackshirts. "Boston College did a good job with some screens that hurt us, but for the most part I felt the defense played really well." The Huskers held Boston College, which was averaging over 175 rushing yards per game, to just 47 yards on 26 carries, forcing the Golden Eagles to chase the game through the air. Quarterback Grayson James finished 25-for-40 for 296 yards. Though James found some success in the passing game, with six completions gaining over 15 yards, the Huskers were able to keep Boston College out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter. Of Boston College's six drives that gained 40 or more yards, only one ended in points and its first touchdown of the game. Their second touchdown came after a blocked punt, setting the Golden Eagles up inside the 5-yard line. In the other instances, Nebraska's defense bent but didn't break, forcing a missed field goal, a fumble and four turnovers on downs. "We knew they were going to going for it on fourth down. That’s just who they were," senior Ty Robinson said. "When you play defense, it is mentality thing. Coach Butler said he was going to be really aggressive with his play-calling. "Kudos to those guys blitzing hard, the defensive line holding their blocks and the safeties and defensive backs covering guys long enough for us to go out and actually make an impact on those plays." Changes coming to special teams It felt fitting that in Nebraska's final game of the 2024 season, special teams issues reared their ugly head one final time. Boston College's lone points in the first half came on a blocked extra point following Kwinten Ives's touchdown run. Instead of the Huskers taking a 14-0 lead, Boston College was able to get some momentum, trailing just 13-2 at the break. In the fourth quarter, Nebraska's win started to come into doubt, when the Golden Eagles blocked a punt, recovered at the 2-yard line and found the end zone on the next play to cut their deficit to five points. The Huskers also had a fake field goal go wrong, just moments after converting on a fake punt to extend a drive when Brian Buschini completed to pass to Isaac Gifford. Following the game, Rhule said special teams improvements will be a major focus. "It wasn’t very good," he said. "You can’t get blocked up (on the punt). I have to go back and see that... We have had snapping issues all year long, and I think we have already tried to address that for next year." Part of Nebraska's early transfer portal strategy has been to revamp its special teams unit, getting commitments from former New Hampshire long snapper Kevin Gallic and Washington punter Jack McCallister. John Hohl, more than likely, enters the offseason in the driver's seat to be the Huskers' kicker moving forward, after making 10 of his 15 attempts during the season, and finishing three-for-five from beyond 40 yards. Whether that means a coaching change, too, with special teams coordinator Ed Foley, remains to be seen. Still, Rhule understands the importance of cleaning up those areas for Nebraska to take its next step as a program. "To be what we want to be next year, we have to be the same defensively, probably a little bit better in some areas," Rhule said. "We have to improve on offense and special teams, we need a complete and total overhaul of that. We need to be better at that. I always put those things on my shoulders. We will get it done, but it has not been good enough this year."

Mass street protests gripped Georgia since November 28, when the ruling Georgian Dream party's increasingly authoritarian government said it will not seek the opening of EU accession talks until 2028. The protest came a day before a controversial inauguration of Georgian Dream loyalist Mikheil Kavelashvili as the county's new president, after his election was declared "illegitimate" by the current leader Salome Zurabishvili and the pro-Western opposition. On Saturday afternoon, thousands of demonstrators, waving Georgian and EU flags, lined the Mtkvari River embankment and several bridges in the capital, Tbilisi, forming a kilometres-long human chain, seen by a reporter of the French news agency AFP. "I Want to Hold Your Hand," a hit song by the English rock band the Beatles, echoed from speakers mounted on a car as it drove along the human chain. Zurabishvili, at loggerheads with the ruling party, has joined the demonstrators at Tbilisi's Dry Bridge. Similar rallies were held in cities across Georgia, local media reported. On the Metekhi Bridge in the historic district of the city, protesters displayed a banner reading "Freedom for political prisoners." Read also:
Southern California jumped to No. 4 in The Associated Press women's college basketball poll on Monday after edging UConn. The Trojans moved up three spots in the AP Top 25 after beating the then-No. 4 Huskies 72-70 on Saturday night in a rematch of last season's Elite Eight game that UConn won. "It feels great to get the dub always," USC star JuJu Watkins said after the victory. "I think it hit a little different knowing the history of last year and how they sent us home." This was the Trojans' first win ever over UConn. "This is a really significant win, and it's a really significant win because of the stature of UConn's program and what Geno Auriemma has done for our sport," USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "It doesn't matter to me that they haven't won a championship in a couple years. There's still a way that they prepare, a way that they play, that makes you better, and it made us better." UCLA, South Carolina and Notre Dame remained the top three teams. The Bruins received 30 of the 32 first-place votes from a national media panel. The Gamecocks and the Fighting Irish each got one first-place vote. UConn fell to seventh behind Texas and LSU. Maryland, Oklahoma and Ohio State rounded out the top 10 teams. Duke dropped five spots to No. 14 after losing to South Florida on Saturday. The Blue Devils' other two losses this season were to Maryland and South Carolina. The Bulls are 7-6 on the season, with four of those losses coming against ranked opponents (UConn, Louisville, TCU and South Carolina). Alabama jumped back into the poll at No. 20 two weeks after falling out. The Crimson Tide had an impressive 82-67 victory over Michigan State, handing the Spartans their first loss of the season. It was Alabama's first victory over a ranked opponent this year. The Southeastern Conference has eight teams in the poll this week with Alabama's return. The Big Ten is next with seven. The ACC has six while the Big 12 has three and the Big East one. No. 23 Michigan at No. 4 USC, Sunday. The Wolverines start Big Ten play with a trip to Los Angeles to face the Trojans on Sunday and then the Bruins a few days later. Coach Kim Barnes Arico's young team is off to a 10-2 start.
