Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:29:21 GMT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Andrew Funk had the shooting game of his career on Penn State’s biggest stage in more than two decades.Funk went 8 of 10 on 3-pointers and scored 27 points Thursday night in a 76-59 win over Texas A&M for the Nittany Lions’ first NCAA Tournament victory in 22 years.“He’s an OK shooter,” Penn State star Jalen Pickett deadpanned before breaking into a wide smile. “He puts in a lot of work on his jump shot. When he gets going like that, we’ve got to find him.”Funk, in his first year at Penn State after transferring from Bucknell, led the 10th-seeded Nittany Lions (23-13) to their ninth victory in 11 games. They next play No. 2 seed Texas in the second round of the Midwest Region on Saturday.“When you make that first and second one, the rim opens up a little bit for sure,” Funk said. “In this offense I know I’m going to get a lot of shots from 3. You get into a rhythm, especially in a game where the offense is flowing like that.”Penn S...

Unheralded coaches Digard and Still looking to stay unbeaten

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:29:21 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Didier Digard’s digging in nicely at Nice and Will Still’s still unbeaten at Reims.The two young, unheralded coaches are making a name for themselves in the French league this season, and they head into this weekend’s matches defending unbeaten records.Seventh-place Nice is on a 10-game unbeaten streak before hosting ninth-place Lorient, while eighth-place Reims is a club-record 19 league games without defeat as it faces second-place Marseille. Both games are Sunday.Nice and Reims are locked on 43 points, separated by goal difference, and still in the hunt for the European places with 11 rounds of games remaining. Perhaps fittingly, they canceled each other out this season with two 0-0 draws.But the fact they have been performing so consistently is much down to their respective coaches.After a very difficult start, Nice’s climb up the table coincided with the appointment of the 36-year-old Digard. Nice had re-hired coach Lucien Favre to replace P...

SNP race: Kate Forbes’ conversion therapy stance ‘misses the point,’ Mhairi Black warns

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:29:21 GMT

LONDON — The Scottish National Party’s deputy leader at Westminster has taken a swipe at Kate Forbes’ position on LGBTQ+ conversion therapy, as Forbes’ views face close scrutiny in her bid for the country’s top political office.Forbes has said that coercive conversion therapy — where groups forcibly attempt to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity — is “abhorrent” and that she would back efforts to ban such practices. However, she has not committed to banning conversion therapy where the individual involved voluntarily consents — something pro-ban campaign groups say is never possible.Pressed on the issue multiple times by Sky News in a televised SNP leadership debate on Monday, Forbes said that if a gay person wanted to have conversion therapy, “that is their choice,” and would not say she would introduce a complete conversion therapy ban.In an interview with POLITICO, SNP Westminster deputy leader Mhairi ...

Orioles observations on Cole Irvin overcoming rough first inning, DL Hall taking next step in return from injury and more

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:29:21 GMT

Despite giving up two runs in the first inning Thursday, Cole Irvin was still satisfied with the way his opening frame went.No, not the four hits he gave up to the first four batters he faced, but instead the way he got out of that inning and settled down after against the Toronto Blue Jays.“It’s just part of the process,” Irvin said. “Those innings are good to get through and work through, and I still came out of that 20 pitches or less. I was able to get out of damage spots and just made good pitches.”Irvin, the left-hander the Orioles acquired from the Oakland Athletics this offseason, gave up just two more hits and zero runs after the opening barrage. He ended his night allowing two runs in 4 1/3 innings while walking none and striking out three against a lineup filled mostly with minor leaguers. The 29-year-old threw 66 pitches — 47 for strikes — and was pleased to start the fifth inning while being on a 70-pitch limit.“He threw t...
