Have you heard of putz houses? Turns out these 100-year-old, folky German houses are just what my Christmas decor was missingUCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level Media
Kenyan police officers who have been deployed to combat escalating gang violence in Haiti are confronting daily hostilities in Port-au-Prince . Police have been situated in a Kenya -led multinational force since earlier this year . Gangs now control approximately 85 percent of the city. Humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, have suspended operations due to safety concerns, further straining aid delivery to those in need. On Thursday, Kenyan and Haitian officers engaged in a firefight with heavily armed gangs near the former National Police headquarters, a site previously abandoned due to gang encroachment. "The days are numbered for the gangs. Either you surrender...or we are coming for you," said Commander Godfrey Otunge of the United Nations -backed mission. Over 700,000 Displaced by Gang Territories In the first quarter of 2024 alone, around 2,500 people were killed or injured due to gang violence, marking the deadliest period since the U.N. began recording such statistics in January 2022. Additionally, gang activities have displaced an estimated 700,000 people in recent years, with gunmen burning and looting communities to expand their territories. Domestically, there are concerns that Haitian police , along with their reinforcements, have yet to secure gang strongholds or apprehend key leaders. There are unavoidable internal issues; nearly 20 Kenyan officers have tendered resignations over delayed pay and poor working conditions. While they continue to serve, their concerns remain unaddressed. Kenya's national police chief, Douglas Kanja, claimed that officers had been paid up to October, but officers reported their last payment was in September. Half Of Haitians Displaced Are Children The extent of the nation's humanitarian crisis is deepening. Last week, approximately 42,000 people, half of them children, were rendered homeless. UNICEF estimates that six million people, including 3.3 million children, will require humanitarian aid next year. The United States and other nations have advocated for a more robust U.N. peacekeeping mission, citing the current operation's lack of resources and funding. However, efforts to transition the mission into a U.N. peacekeeping force face resistance from China and Russia , who prefer to give the existing mission more time to establish peace. Russia's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyansky expressed "shock and horror" at what is happening on the streets of Port-au-Prince. He accused the U.S. and other countries that initially supported the multinational force of failing to fund it. Acting Prime Minister Sacked Within Months Haiti's political instability compounds the mission's challenges. The Transitional Presidential Council recently dismissed acting Prime Minister Garry Conille , who had only been in power for several months. Businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aimé replaced Conille on November 11. The council, established to facilitate a democratic transition, has been fraught with infighting, hindering efforts to restore order. French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on video among his G20 peers describing the council as "morons" that "never should have dismissed him." He said that their decision-making at a time of significant organized crime was "completely dumb." This article includes reporting from The Associated Press.
