Colorado women’s basketball junior Jade Masogayo has a kind demeanor off the court and perhaps a bit too kind on the court at times. During a 65-60 upset of then-No. 14 West Virginia on Dec. 21, however, Masogayo went into beast mode. She scored 18 points, pulled down seven rebounds and blocked two shots, delivering the type of performance that the Buffs (10-2, 1-0 Big 12) need from her throughout conference play. “You can be sweet and aggressive,” CU head coach JR Payne said to Masogayo during a press conference after that game. “That’s what we’re telling her. Look how sweet she is, but she was a monster out there.” Looking for help in the paint last offseason, CU signed Masogayo out of the transfer portal from Missouri State because it saw her potential of being an athletic, dominant force. The kind-hearted Masogayo is still working on believing she’s that dominant. “Coach has been talking to me about, like, just trying to stay aggressive as much as I can,” she said. “I was just trying to apply that to the game as much I can, contribute to the team, stuff like that.” So far this season, Masogayo has been one of CU’s best players, averaging 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and two assists, while connecting on 59.4% of her shots. Although averaging 2.6 fewer minutes per game than last year at Missouri State, Masogayo is averaging 3.1 more points and her field goal percentage has taken a big jump from 50.0. Masogayo hit a different gear against West Virginia, though. She had eight of her 18 points in the pivotal fourth quarter and went 9-of-10 from the floor overall. “(Masogayo) killed us in the fourth quarter and all night long,” West Virginia head coach Mark Kellogg said. “We just tried different people (to guard her) and couldn’t answer her. ... They got what they wanted at the rim. Jade, in particular, was the one that we just didn’t have an answer for.” Senior Frida Formann, who had 22 points in that game, was so proud of her new teammate that she deflected praise away from herself and handed it to Masogayo. “No one could stop her,” Formann said. “We’ve been talking to her so much about it, and I’m just so proud of her for actually taking it upon her. Like we needed her, we really needed her to score and go on that run for us.” Sitting next to Masogayo, Formann then turned to her teammate and said, “It was just so great that you just were, like, ‘Give me the ball.’ I haven’t seen that as much, but you just knew that’s what we needed.” Following the West Virginia game, CU went on a break for several days and doesn’t play again until Jan. 1 at No. 11 TCU. For the Buffs to make some noise in the Big 12, they’ll need several players to step up, including Formann, Kindyll Wetta, Lior Garzon and more. But, they’ll need the beast mode version of Masogayo to show up most nights. “Coaches have been telling Jade since she walked on campus, ‘This is what you can be,’” Payne said. “She’s so sweet and humble and hasn’t always been ... able to receive it. She was like, ‘Oh, thank you.’ I don’t know that she really believed it. “When you’re doing that against the No. 2 defense in the country (West Virginia), like, you should come in knowing you could do it against anybody.” The West Virginia game could have been a turning point for Masogayo, who, even through her humility, admitted it was a boost of confidence. “Honestly, it means a lot, hearing it from my peers, my coaches, just hearing that they believe in me, and they just trust me, in a sense,” she said. “Because in the past, I haven’t heard that, and so just getting confirmation from the people that I’m with all the time, it’s just really nice to hear. It’s great.”After a thrilling double-overtime win over Fresno State, California Baptist makes the nearly 2,500-mile trip to Orlando to face Central Florida on Sunday. The Lancers (5-3) capped their time at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational in Palm Springs, Calif., with an 86-81 victory over the Bulldogs on Wednesday. That followed a last-second, 79-77 loss to SMU the day before. Dominique Daniels Jr. played 45 minutes against Fresno State and led California Baptist with 29 points. He paces the Lancers with 20.3 points per game, while Kendal Coleman averages 15.1 points and is shooting 59.7 percent form the floor. However, coach Rick Croy's team has struggled from 3-point range, shooting just 30.7 percent entering its first true road game this season. UCF (5-2) is coming off of an 84-76 win over Milwaukee last Wednesday despite being outrebounded 41-31. The Knights were helped by the heroics of senior guard Darius Johnson, who had 28 points as he shot a career-best 8-for-10 from beyond the arc. "Darius was terrific," UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said. "He's so comfortable in his leadership role now, he's leading our team and running the show, and our new players are becoming more comfortable playing with him. He's been a rock for us this season, and you love to see it out of a senior point guard." "I had an extraordinary night shooting the ball from three," Johnson said. "I rarely think that would happen again, but it's great. I know my teammates are going to have nights like that as well." Johnson is among the nation's leaders in minutes per game (36.6) and is shooting a team-high 50 percent from 3-point range (23 of 46). He, along with his fellow guard Jordan Ivy-Curry, are each averaging 16.9 points to lead UCF. The Knights opened the season with an impressive win over Texas A&M, now No. 20 in the AP poll, but lost both games at last weekend's Greenbrier Tip-Off, including a triple-overtime defeat against LSU on Sunday. UCF has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2018-19. This will be the first meeting between the Knights and the Lancers, who will each have time off afterwards. UCF won't play until Dec. 8 against Tarleton State, while California Baptist is idle until its Dec. 11 game at San Diego State. --Field Level MediaNone

The Gamecocks won their sixth straight game, including four over ranked opponents, and may have played themselves into the College Football Playoff's 12-team field. They wouldn't have done it without Sellers, who spun away from a defender in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left on his way to the winning score. Sellers rushed for 166 yards and threw for 164 in South Carolina's second straight win at Clemson.

(AP) — American ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin is alert and being evaluated for injuries after crashing in her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race.

(AP) — Andrew Luck is returning to Stanford in hopes of turning around a struggling football program that he once helped become a national power.

US and England women draw 0-0 in Emma Hayes' homecoming LONDON (AP) — Emma Hayes witnessed a dominant display from her players at a packed Wembley stadium, but the U.S. coach could not taste victory on her return to England.

Jared Porter acknowledges he sent inappropriate text message to reporter, leading Mets to fire him Jared Porter acknowledged he sent an inappropriate text message to a reporter while he was a Chicago Cubs executive in 2016, which led to the New York Mets firing him as general manager in 2021 after just 38 days. Porter made his first public comments on his firing during an episode of the “Baseball Isn’t Boring” podcast released Friday. Porter was hired by the Mets on Dec. 13, 2020, and fired on Jan. 19, 2021, about nine hours after an ESPN report detailing that he sent sexually explicit, uninvited text messages and images to a female reporter. Norris defies orders and gives Piastri the Qatar sprint while Verstappen takes pole LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lando Norris ignored team orders as he handed his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri the win the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix in a one-two finish for the team. Norris started on pole position and kept the lead at the start as Piastri squeezed past the Mercedes of George Russell for second. Norris gave the lead to Piastri with the finish line in sight, paying back Piastri for gifting him a win in a sprint race in Brazil when Norris was still fighting Max Verstappen for the drivers’ title. Champion Max Verstappen secured pole position for Sunday’s Grand Prix. Face facts: Statues of stars like Kane and Ronaldo don't always deliver. Sculptors offer advice LONDON (AP) — One art critic compared the new Harry Kane bronze statue to a bulging-jawed comic strip character. The infamous Cristiano Ronaldo bust in 2017 gave the chiseled soccer star a chubby face and goofy smile. Sculptors are offering tips to avoid pitfalls. London-based Hywel Pratley says sculptors must first get the subject's profile correct “and then you can go forward with more confidence.” Probably best to avoid smiles, Pratley adds because it's “really difficult to do teeth looking good in sculpture." London-based sculptural conservator Lucy Branch suggests an open vote because the public tends "to know whether the artist has hit the nail on the head.” Colorado State advances to MW volleyball final and will take the court against San Jose State LAS VEGAS (AP) — Colorado State coach Emily Kohan said her team will take the floor against San Jose State in the Mountain West volleyball championship rather than become the latest team to forfeit to the Spartans.

An automatic bid to the 64-team NCAA Tournament is on the line in Saturday’s final. Several schools have forfeited to San Jose State this season. In a lawsuit recently filed by players from various schools against the conference and San Jose State officials, plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State team.
