Cade Cunningham vowed to lead Oklahoma State to a strong run through the NCAA Tournament. The freshman All-American didn’t have an explosive debut but did just enough to lead the Cowboys to a 69-60 victory over Liberty on Friday night in a Midwest Region first-round game.
Cunningham scored 15 points — nine straight in the final minutes — to lead No. 4 seed Oklahoma State to its first NCAA Tournament win since 2009. Avery Anderson III led the Cowboys with 21 points.
Cunningham before the tournament began said he planned to emulate Carmelo Anthony, who in 2003 led Syracuse to the national title as a freshman. But the Big 12 Conference player of the year struggled for most his debut until his late surge gave OSU (21-8) breathing room against the stubborn Flames (23-6).
He missed his first five shots and finished just 3 of 15 shooting, including 2 of 8 from long range. But both 3s were timely and he converted 7 of 9 free throws, contributions sorely needed with Liberty capable of quickly answering with a quick spurt.
Cunningham was not available for postgame interviews, but Anderson saw him steadily find his rhythm.
“Cade’s shots were falling in the first half, but he saw throughout the game that they would start falling,” he said, “and that was big time.”
Anderson picked up the offensive slack for Oklahoma State and scored 14 points in the first half. He shot 8 of 14, including a three-point play with 10:25 remaining for a 50-44 lead, and grabbed seven rebounds.
“I don’t really worry about Cade,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said of his star guard. “I think everybody else worries about him a lot more than I do. First of all, I’ve known the kid since he was 14. I know how he’s wired and I know that he wants to play to win.
“And if that means he’s got to score 10 points and get other guys involved and allow other guys like Avery Anderson or Matthew-Alexander (Moncrieffe) to kind of carry the load offensively, he’s comfortable with that.”
Moncrieffe added 10 points for OSU, which faces Oregon State in Sunday’s second round. The 12th-seeded Beavers upset fifth-seeded Tennessee earlier Friday.
Elijah Cuffee had 16 points and Darius McGhee 12 for Atlantic Sun champion Liberty, which had won its previous 12 games. Liberty was seeking another NCAA upset two years after bouncing Mississippi State in the first round.
Normally one of the nation’s more sure-handed teams, the Flames committed a season-high 18 turnovers and were edged on the glass 37-36. OSU scored 18 points off those mistakes, while the rebounds loomed large in swinging toward the Cowboys.
The moderate organization Newsmax said Thursday it is employing Jason Miller, a senior counselor to previous President Donald Trump as a donor who will give editorial on an assortment of issues.
Newsmax likewise says it is additionally recruiting Andrew Giuliani, an ex-Trump associate, and child of previous New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for a comparative giver’s job.
Recruiting previous lawmakers and government authorities to give analysis is not really bizarre to TV news organizations. Recruiting someone when he’s actually working for a conspicuous legislator is, despite the fact that Newsmax has made no mystery of its help for Trump.
It’s not something a conventional news association would do, “but rather I don’t believe Newsmax to do genuine reporting,” said Kelly McBride, seat of the Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership at the Poynter Institute, a news coverage thinks tank.
Mill operator will be a paid patron and his arrangement is non-select, which means he can, in any case, talk uninhibitedly to other media sources, said Brian Peterson, a representative for the organization.
“He is a supporter, not a host or full-time representative,” Peterson said. “We reveal his relationship with the previous president. On the off chance that he gets dynamic in any political missions, we will survey his status with us.”
Newsmax had an eruption of consideration soon after last November’s political race after Trump, who was discontent with Fox News Channel at that point, asked his adherents to look at it.
Numerous on the organization firmly upheld Trump’s work to make a question about his political race misfortune to President Joe Biden. With Biden introduced and Trump subsiding from the news, Newsmax has seen its appraisals slip from powerful post-political race days.
In the interim, when Trump tried to arrive at his devotees this week, he chose Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo for a meeting on Tuesday.
Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said Miller and Giuliani “have been Washington insiders without turning out to be a contributor to the issue. Both of these noble men have colossal histories in media and government, making their examination of information occasions significantly more adroit for our watchers.”…
