football bbc sports Adam Pemble, an Associated Press video journalist who covered some of the biggest global news of the past two decades, from earthquakes and conflicts to political summits and elections, has died. He was 52. Pemble died Thursday in Minneapolis surrounded by friends and family, according to his friend Mike Moe, who helped care for him in the final weeks of his fight against cancer. Known for bringing stories alive with his camera, Pemble epitomized the best of television news traditions, casting a curious and compassionate lens onto the lives of the people and communities whose stories he told. He joined the AP in 2007 in New York before moving to Prague in 2011 to help launch AP’s first cross-format operation combining photography, text stories and video. He enhanced Eastern European news coverage, creating distinctive stories highlighting the region’s culture and society. “Adam was an incredibly talented and passionate journalist and an empathetic storyteller. He had this amazing ability to get anyone to talk to him on camera, which I attribute to the Midwestern charm he embodied throughout his life.” said Sara Gillesby, AP’s Director of Global Video and Pemble’s former manager in New York when he joined the AP. “He was the best of us.” Pemble was born in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, in 1972 and grew up in Minneapolis. After graduating with a degree in mass communications from Minnesota State University Moorhead, he started his journalism career in 1997 at KVLY, a television station in Fargo, North Dakota, and later worked at WCCO in Minneapolis. “He had the skills of the old-school camera people to meet a deadline and turn a beautiful story,” said Arthur Phillips, a cameraman who worked with Pemble at WCCO. “But he had a calling for greater things.” Moving to New York, Pemble covered some of the biggest stories in the city, including the trial of Bernie Madoff, interviews with former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and with then-real estate developer, now U.S. president-elect, Donald Trump. He went to Haiti to cover the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, where he captured shocking images of devastation. A few weeks later he was in Vancouver, covering the Winter Olympics. With his transfer to Prague, Pemble quickly became the go-to video journalist deployed to the biggest news events in Europe, interviewing government leaders, covering violent protests, the aftermath of terror attacks and numerous national elections across the continent. “An inquiring mind, a keen eye and a healthy skepticism for those in power who tried to spin away from the truth all combined to make Adam’s stories as rich in colour as he was in character,” said Sandy MacIntyre, former AP head of global video. “Time and again he was asked to do the impossible and without fail he delivered the exceptional.” ”But more than all of that, he was the colleague and friend you wanted by your side because if Adam was there we knew we were going to be the winning team.” As civil unrest rocked Ukraine in 2014, Pemble reported from Kyiv and later Donetsk, where he covered the first Russian-backed demonstrations before spending weeks in Crimea during Russia’s annexation of the strategic peninsula. His video reports included the last remaining Ukrainian sailors loyal to Kyiv, who had finally abandoned their ship and came ashore. With the Russian national anthem playing from a car in the background, his final shot showed two distraught sailors heckled as they walked away. Pemble returned to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion of the country in 2022. Among his many assignments was March 2023 AP interview by Executive Editor Julie Pace with across Ukraine to cities near some of the fiercest fighting. “Adam showed up to every assignment with enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to his work and his colleagues. He loved what he did, and so many of us at AP are better for having worked alongside him,” Pace said. When not deployed overseas, set his camera’s gaze on his new home in the Czech Republic, offering insight into the traditions and unique stories of Eastern Europe. From Christmas carp fishing at sunrise to graffiti artists in Prague to the intimate story of a Slovak priest challenging the celibacy rules of the Catholic Church, he brought his unmistakable style. He worked with a traditional large broadcast camera in an era where many video shooters shifted to smaller, lighter cameras. He always put himself in the right place to let reality unfold like “an old school analog painter in an often fast and furious digital age,” former AP cameraman Ben Jary recalled. Pemble’s interest in visual storytelling led to experimenting with new technologies, including aerial videography. In 2015, he was the first major news agency camera operator to film live drone footage when reporting on the migration crisis in the Balkans. An avid gardener who planted trees and chilis on his rooftop in Prague, he was adventurous in the kitchen and especially proud of his vegan “meatloaf,” friends said. He loved a seedy dive bar as much as a Michelin restaurant and foods as varied as charcoal choux pastry with truffle creme and his favourite road trip junk food, Slim Jim’s jerky and Salted Nut Rolls. Pemble’s wit, wisdom, energy and positivity enriched the lives and experiences of those around him, friends and colleagues recalled. “If someone asked me to see a picture of quiet strength and courage, dignity and grace, and most of all kindness, I would show them a picture of a man for all seasons,” said Dan Huff, a Washington-based AP video journalist, “I would show them a picture of Adam Pemble.”NovakDjokovic drew attention on social media after reposting a video from CristianoRonaldo, joining several elite athletes amid ongoing speculation about apotential collaboration.

Quebec Premier François Legault believes it is “urgent” that his federal counterpart Justin Trudeau present his plan to strengthen security at the Canada-U.S. border, in the context where the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, is threatening to impose customs duties on Canadian imports. A few hours before a meeting of the premiers, which is to focus on relations with the United States, Legault wanted to publicly send a message to Trudeau Wednesday morning in Quebec City. “I will repeat to him that it is urgent that he submit a plan to secure the borders, to avoid having tariffs,” maintained the Quebec premier upon his arrival at the meeting. “This plan must be quantified: how much money it puts in, how many people it adds. It is urgent if we do not want to have tariffs.” Trump is threatening to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports if the Trudeau government doesn’t do more to secure the border. In his view, the Canada-U.S. border is allowing too much fentanyl and illegal immigrants to enter the United States. Legault also recalled that he had the opportunity to speak with Trump last weekend, on the sidelines of the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. In light of this meeting, which lasted about 10 minutes, he said he was “more convinced than ever” of the urgency of submitting a plan regarding the border. ‘ On the Ottawa side, the Minister of Procurement and political lieutenant of the Liberals for Quebec, Jean-Yves Duclos, maintained that “the plan is ready” and that Trudeau will present it to the premiers of the provinces and territories during the meeting on Wednesday. However, he did not confirm that this plan will be quantified, as Legault requested. “We’ll see how it goes. Trudeau is the master of his agenda, obviously, and I expect a positive reaction from the premiers of the provinces and territories, because we’re all part of the same Team Canada,” he said in a press scrum. “This is an important opportunity to talk with premiers about our Team Canada approach,” Trudeau said as he headed to Question Period. “Having premiers with different perspectives and different approaches reinforces the shared values that we have as Canadians and helps us be there to defend the interests of Canadians. “We need a coordinated and coherent approach to the challenge of Donald Trump. There is strength in numbers, and there is unrest in division,” added Liberal MP John McKay. Immigration Minister Marc Miller stressed that the government must strike the right tone. “Sure, there are some crazy things that happen, there are some shenanigans, but we have to be serious about this. Canadians expect their government to take the border seriously, to keep Canadians safe,” he said. “We can’t be pitted against ourselves and against conflicting objectives, I think that’s very important. Everything the United States does has a very significant impact on Canada, so this is not the time to be playing partisan politics,” he added. Wednesday’s meeting between Trudeau and his counterparts will be the second since Trump won the November presidential election in the U.S., and the first since Trudeau and some of his staff were invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago in Florida with Trump nearly two weeks ago. Since that event, Trump’s comments — who reportedly suggested that Canada become the 51st state of the United States — have sparked a lot of reaction. The president-elect added another layer on Tuesday, when he referred to Trudeau as the governor of the “great state of Canada” in a post on his social network Truth. According to Legault ‘s official schedule , the meeting between the premiers is to take place virtually at 4 p.m.Late kickoff return TDs by Turpin and Thomas spark the Cowboys as they end their 5-game skid

Matt Gaetz says he won't return to Congress next year after withdrawing name for attorney general WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Gaetz is not coming back to Congress. The Florida Republican said Friday he has no intention of serving another term in the House now that he is no longer President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Gaetz withdrew as the nominee this week amid growing fallout from the allegations of sexual conduct against him. Gaetz denies the allegations. Gaetz didn't lay out his plans now that he's out of office, saying only, “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch." After Gaetz's withdrawal on Thursday, Trump named former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department. Vance takes on a more visible transition role, working to boost Trump's most contentious picks WASHINGTON (AP) — After several weeks working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role. He's been helping Donald Trump’s most contentious Cabinet picks try to win confirmation in the Senate, where he has served for the last two years. Vance spent part of Wednesday at the Capitol with Rep. Matt Gaetz sitting in on meetings with Trump’s controversial choice for attorney general. On Thursday, Vance was back, this time accompanying Pete Hegseth. Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings over the coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks. Beyond evangelicals, Trump and his allies courted smaller faith groups, from the Amish to Chabad Donald Trump’s lock on the white evangelical vote is legendary, but he didn't focus exclusively on large religious voter blocs. He and his allies also wooed smaller religious groups, away from the mainstream. He posted a tribute to Coptic church members on social media and met with members of Assyrians for Trump — two smaller Christian communities with Middle Eastern roots. He visited the grave of the revered late leader of an Orthodox Jewish movement. His allies sought votes from the separatist Amish community. While Trump won decisively, the outreaches reflected aggressive campaigning in what was expected to be a tight race. NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russia's attack with new hypersonic missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia attacked a central city with a hypersonic ballistic missile that escalated the nearly 33-month-old war. Ukraine's parliament canceled a session Friday over the security threat. In a stark warning to the West, President Vladimir Putin said in a nationally televised speech Thursday that the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles capable of striking deeper into Russian territory. Putin said Russia is launching production of the Oreshnik, saying it's so powerful that several of them fitted with conventional warheads could be as devastating as a strike with strategic — or nuclear — weapons. Texas education board approves optional Bible-infused curriculum for elementary schools AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ education board has voted to allow Bible-infused teachings in elementary schools. The approval Friday follows other Republican-led states that have pushed this year to give religion a larger presence in public classrooms. The curriculum adopted by the Texas State Board of Education is optional for schools to adopt, but they’ll receive additional funding if they do so. Parents and teachers who opposed the curriculum say the lessons will alienate students of other faith backgrounds. Supporters argue the Bible is a core feature of American history and that teaching it will enrich learning. 2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death on US-Canada border FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A jury has convicted two men of charges related to human smuggling for their roles in an international operation that led to the deaths of a family of Indian migrants who froze while trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border during a 2022 blizzard. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand each faced four charges related to human smuggling before being convicted on Friday. Patel is an Indian national. Shand is an American from Florida. They were arrested after the family froze while trying to cross the desolate border during a 2022 blizzard. Storm inundates Northern California with rain, heavy snow. Thousands remain in the dark in Seattle HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — Heavy rain from a major storm prompted evacuations from communities near a Northern California river that forecasters say could break its banks Friday, as the storm keeps dumping heavy snow in the region's mountains where some ski resorts opened for the season. The storm reached the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands before moving through Northern California, where several roads were closed due to flooding and strong winds toppled some trees. Forecasters are warning about the risk of flash flooding and rockslides in areas north of San Francisco as the region was inundated by this season’s strongest atmospheric river. Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient Maya WASHINGTON (AP) — Using drones and Google Earth imagery, archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old network of earthen canals in what’s now Belize. The research published Friday in Science Advances shows that long before the ancient Maya built temples, their predecessors were already altering the landscape of Central America’s Yucatan peninsula. The ancient fish canals were used to channel and catch freshwater species such as catfish. These structures were used for around 1,000 years — including during the “formative” period when the Maya began to settle in permanent farming villages and a distinctive culture started to emerge. California case is the first confirmed bird flu infection in a US child Health officials are confirming bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced confirmatory test results on Friday. Officials say the child had mild symptoms, was treated with antiviral medication and is recovering. The child’s infection brings the reported number of U.S. bird flu cases this year to 55, including 29 in California. State officials have said the child lives in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, and attends day care, but released no other details. Brazilian police formally accuse former President Bolsonaro and aides of alleged 2022 coup attempt SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police have formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup to keep him in office after his electoral defeat in the 2022 elections. The findings are to be delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put the former president on trial or toss the investigation. The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then.The top 100 Canadian songs of 2024

Miami DolphinsSean “Diddy” Combs’ twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila Combs, put on a united front over the weekend, attending their high school senior night amidst ongoing legal troubles surrounding their father. The 17-year-olds shared a snapshot on Instagram, beaming in blue-and-white cheerleading uniforms paired with “senior” sashes and tiaras, marking a milestone moment in their young lives. The photo, captioned simply “Senior Night,” showed the twins holding pink pom-poms as they posed on the sidelines of a football game. Their celebratory post was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a difficult few months for the Combs family. Just days earlier, Jessie and D’Lila appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for their father’s third bail hearing . Sean, 55, who remains in custody at a Brooklyn detention center, blew kisses to his daughters and other family members present in the gallery. A judge is expected to decide on his bail within the coming week. The twins have carried on with their senior year activities, determined to find normalcy amid the challenges. Last month, they attended their homecoming, dressed in matching orange off-the-shoulder gowns and bronze heels. Their poised appearances have garnered admiration from fans, who have praised their strength. The sisters also took time earlier this month to honor the memory of their late mother, Kim Porter, who died unexpectedly in 2018. In a heartfelt Instagram tribute marking six years since her passing, they wrote, “We think about you every single second of the day. We love and miss you so much words can’t even explain.” Kim, who shared four children with Sean, was a central figure in their lives, and her absence is deeply felt. Sean, a father of seven, has always been vocal about his pride in his children. Along with Jessie and D’Lila, he shares Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian, 26, Chance, 18, and Love, 2. Despite the serious allegations he faces, his children have publicly stood by him. In October, Sean’s six eldest children attended a court hearing where a May 2025 trial date was set. Following the proceedings, they released a statement defending their father, calling the allegations against him “absurd.” “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media,” they wrote. “We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family.” Sean’s children have remained a constant source of support during his legal battle, sharing moments of connection with him even from afar. On his birthday, Nov. 4, they called to celebrate with him, a touching exchange that highlighted their close bond. “I just want to say that I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls. I mean, all y’all, just for being strong,” Sean told his kids during the call. The music mogul, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, has maintained his innocence as his legal team prepares for the upcoming trial.

Kunin scored twice and had 16:31 in ice time for the Sharks on Tuesday Going into Thursday’s date with his hometown St. Louis Blues, Kunin, after 31 games, is now tied for fourth on the team with eight goals, more than halfway past his career high of 15 set during the 2019-2020 season when he played in 63 games with the Minnesota Wild. Now, it’s a matter of whether the Sharks want to try to sign Kunin to a contract extension past this season as they did with goalie Mackenzie Blackwood on Monday. Blackwood as part of a deal that netted goalie and pending UFA Alexandar Georgiev, 25-year-old forward Nikolai Kovalenko, and two draft picks. After the deal, Sharks general manager Mike Grier said Blackwood likely “played his way out of here” with the season he was having. That means the average annual value of Blackwood’s next contract will probably be significantly higher than the $2.35 million on his current deal. The rebuilding Sharks are only willing to commit so much money to the goaltending position two-year, $4 million contract kicks in next season. “I hope he gets what he’s looking for,” Grier said of Blackwood. “But I think he kind of played his way out of probably the ballpark figure of what we were looking for, especially with (Askarov) coming up as well.” It’s fair to suggest that Kunin, who turned 27 on Dec. 4, will be looking for a bump from his current AAV of $2.75 million and perhaps some term beyond one or two years on his next contract. He also must decide whether he wants to remain with the rebuilding Sharks, who appear to be at least a couple of years away from being serious playoff contenders. With Kunin a pending restricted free agent in June, he and the Sharks came to terms on a one-year, $2.75 million deal that took him to UFA status. He has 12 points this season and is sixth among Sharks forwards in average time on ice (15:05). Like he will before the March 7 trade deadline, Grier must decide whether Kunin fits in with the Sharks in their current state or whether it makes more sense to ship him and collect a future asset. The Sharks’ other pending UFAs are goalies Georgiev and Vitek Vanecek, forwards Mikael Granlund and Nico Sturm, and defensemen Cody Ceci and Jan Rutta. Those players, too, must decide whether to stay or move on. Regardless, Kunin, who sustained a torn right ACL in Dec. 2022 in his first season with the Sharks, appears to be helping his value with his improved skating and production. Kunin had 11 goals and 18 points in 77 games last season. “I think he’s been solid,” Warsofsky said after Tuesday’s loss. “We’re seeing a guy that’s skating more, first and foremost, gets to the inside of the ice, kind of the heart and soul of our team, really. He gives you everything he’s got. To get rewarded with two goals is nice.” Warsofsky said Wednesday in St. Louis that defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin would play against the Blues as the Sharks play the final game of a six-game road trip. After Tuesday’s game, the Sharks announced that Mukhamadullin had been recalled from the AHL and that defenseman Jack Thompson and forward Ethan Cardwell had been loaned back to the Barracuda. Mukhamadullin had six assists in 14 games with the Barracuda this season after the Sharks assigned him to the AHL on Oct. 22. His most recent game was on Dec. 8, when he had two assists in the Barracuda’s 2-1 win over Coachella Valley. Mukhamadullin, acquired from New Jersey in Feb. 2023 as part of the blockbuster trade that sent Timo Meier to the Devils, played in three games with the Sharks last season – all in January – and averaged over 21 minutes of ice time per game and had one assist. The Sharks have lost three straight and are 2-3-0 on the trip that began close to two weeks ago with wins over the Seattle Kraken and Washington Capitals. The Sharks on Wednesday placed defenseman Valtteri Pulli for the purpose of terminating his NHL contract. “Valtteri requested to play in Europe and we mutually agreed to terminate his contract,” Sharks assistant general manager Joe Will said in a statement. “We want to thank Valtteri for his contributions to the organization and wish him all the best.” Pulli, 23, was signed to a two-year, two-way contract by the Sharks in May 2023 after he played three seasons with TPS Turku of the Finnish League. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Pulli never played for the Sharks, but had 10 points in 59 games for the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL last season. Pulli was healthy again this season but only dressed for two Barracuda games, both in October. He had one assist in an Oct. 19 game against the Iowa Wild.ShoreHaven Wealth Partners LLC Sells 1,234 Shares of NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Seahawks try for 7th straight win in series vs. Cards in crucial NFC West matchupThe cryptocurrency revolution is no longer a future prediction—it’s happening now. With advancements in blockchain technology and growing interest in digital finance, cryptocurrency is becoming a mainstream asset class. What was once a niche for tech enthusiasts is now a global phenomenon. The world is seeing exponential growth in crypto adoption , with millions of new users joining the blockchain ecosystem every year. This surge is driven by factors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and increasing institutional interest. Recent figures underscore the scale of this movement. Around 6.8% of the global population, or over 560 million people , now own cryptocurrencies. Countries like India, Nigeria, and Indonesia are leading in adoption rates, while the global cryptocurrency market capitalization has reached an impressive $2.2 trillion as of October 2024. Younger demographics, particularly those aged 25 to 34, are at the forefront of this wave, showcasing a growing appetite for digital assets. As crypto holders diversify their portfolios, the need for secure and versatile wallets has become paramount. This is where Plus Wallet shines. With a focus on security, usability, and innovative features, it is quickly becoming the wallet of choice for both new and experienced users. The Growth of Global Crypto Adoption The rise of cryptocurrency adoption has been nothing short of extraordinary. Just a decade ago, owning digital assets was limited to tech-savvy enthusiasts, but today, crypto is reshaping financial systems globally. Countries in regions like Central and Southern Asia and Oceania dominate the adoption index, with millions actively participating in DeFi and other blockchain-based applications. Crypto’s appeal lies in its versatility—users can invest, trade, and participate in decentralized projects that challenge traditional financial systems. The market’s expansion is reflected in its capitalization, which has surged to $2.2 trillion , a remarkable jump from $8.3 billion at the beginning of 2023. Bitcoin recently crossed the historic $100,000 mark, signaling growing confidence in digital currencies. For new crypto holders , this ecosystem can be daunting, but the right tools, such as secure wallets, are making it easier than ever to engage. Plus Wallet is one such solution, offering a seamless experience tailored to the needs of this expanding user base. Why Plus Wallet Stands Out for New Crypto Holders For individuals stepping into the crypto space, having a reliable and feature-rich wallet is crucial. Plus Wallet is designed to meet the diverse demands of the rapidly growing crypto community. Here’s what makes it a standout choice: Cross-Chain Compatibility: Managing a diversified portfolio is effortless with Plus Wallet, which supports major blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and more. Users can swap assets across networks without leaving the app, a key feature for crypto holders navigating multiple ecosystems. Uncompromising Security: Both new and seasoned crypto holders are concerned about security. Plus Wallet features high-level encryption, local private key storage, and biometric authentication so that only authorized persons can get access to funds. Rewarding Ecosystem: Innovations that set apart Plus Wallet are innovative programs like Swap to Earn and Refer to Earn. Users can earn USDT rewards for every qualifying swap as well as generate passive income through inviting friends to the platform. Those features increase the engagement of the users and offer financial rewards, especially valuable for newly enrolled users. User-Friendly Design: Plus Wallet has a very user-friendly design, including intuitive interfaces that consolidate holdings under a single dashboard. This even features a very functional tool such as its crypto invoicing, which facilitates transaction, especially for freelancers and businesses, without involving exorbitant fees in transactions. Meeting the Needs of a Changing Market Now, as crypto adoption continues to grow, the needs of an increasingly varied user set are changing. The younger users have a focus on simplicity and utility, particularly users 25 to 34 years old. Plus Wallet meets these needs and provides advanced features that position it among the most suitable wallet options for managing digital assets. Recent developments in the wallet’s ecosystem reflect its forward-thinking approach. In 2024, Plus Wallet rolled out new cross-chain capabilities, making it easier for users to manage cryptocurrencies and NFTs across multiple blockchains. Its rapid token listing feature, which enables new tokens to be added within 15 minutes, ensures users have access to emerging market opportunities without delays.

With over 560 million crypto holders around the world and counting, there is a pressing need for safe, versatile wallets.

The No. 1 Gamecocks fell Sunday in Los Angeles as Lauren Betts posted a double-double effort to lead No. 5 UCLA to a 77-62 triumph. The Gamecocks (5-1) suffered their first defeat after 43 consecutive victories, dating back to the loss to Iowa 77-73 in the NCAA Tournament semifinals. South Carolina defeated Iowa last season for the national championship. Betts finished with 11 points, a game-high 14 rebounds, four assists and four blocks to power the Bruins (5-0) to a historic victory. UCLA also got 15 points from Londynn Jones on 5-of-5 shooting from 3-point range, 13 points from Elina Aarnisalo and 11 each from Kiki Rice and Gabriela Jacquez. It's the first time UCLA has beaten South Carolina since 1981. The Bruins lost twice to the Gamecocks in the 2022-23 season, including in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Te-Hina Paopao had 18 points for South Carolina on 4-of-4 3-point shooting, while Tessa Johnson had 14 points. UCLA won the rebounding battle 41-34, marking the second time this season the Gamecocks have been outrebounded. South Carolina also got outscored in the paint 26-18. It's rare that a Dawn Staley-coached team -- units that typically revolve around dominant centers from A'ja Wilson to Aaliyah Boston to Kamilla Cardoso -- gets beat in the paint and on the glass, but with 6-foot-7 Betts, UCLA had the recipe to outmuscle the Gamecocks in those areas of the game. South Carolina never led after UCLA began the game with an 18-5 run, capped off by back-to-back 3-pointers from Jones. The Gamecocks cut the deficit to nine points in the second quarter, but the Bruins responded with a 17-5 run and entered halftime ahead by 21 points. Aarnisalo scored seven points during that run. From there, the Gamecocks never got within single digits of the lead in the second half. It's the first time in 21 tries that UCLA has beaten an AP-ranked No. 1 team. And it's the first time South Carolina lost a true road game since 2021, a streak of 33 games. The schedule doesn't get any easier for South Carolina. While UCLA faces UT Martin next on Friday, the Gamecocks play No. 8 Iowa State on Thursday. --Field Level Media
