KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Chaz Lanier scored 18 and No. 7 Tennessee extended its season-opening winning streak to seven games with a 78-35 victory over UT Martin on Wednesday. Felix Okpara had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Volunteers (7-0). Zakai Zeigler added 11 points and nine assists, and Igor Milicic had 13 rebounds and nine points. The Skyhawks (2-5) were led by Josu Grullon's 15 points. Lanier scored 11 points in the first half as Tennessee built a 35-20 lead at the half. Grullon had 10 for UT Martin. UT Martin: Dropped its fifth straight after two opening wins under first-year coach Jeremy Shulman. After 21 wins last year, the Skyhawks brought in 16 newcomers this season. They are picked to finish 10th in the Ohio Valley Conference. Tennessee: After receiving the news that 6-foot-9 sophomore J.P. Estrella will miss the entire season with a foot injury, the Vols have had to go back to the drawing board to determine their rotation on the front court. Estrella had been coming off the bench with Cade Phillips to spell Igor Milicic and Felix Okpara. What that big man rotation looks like will be interesting. From late in the first half to early in the second half, Tennessee scored 14 straight points and turned a 10-point lead into a 44-20 advantage. Zakai Zeigler had five of those points. UT Martin committed 18 turnovers. Five of those were shot-clock violations. Tennessee scored 24 points off the turnovers. UT Martin will be at Charleston Southern next Tuesday. Tennessee will host Syracuse next Tuesday in the SEC/ACC Challenge. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Onex Corporation Announces Variation of Price Range and Extension of Its Previously Announced Substantial Issuer Bid
In response to potential sweeping tariffs from President-elect Donald Trump, Canada is exploring possible retaliatory measures. A senior government official revealed these considerations as Trump signaled intentions to levy a 25% tax on goods from both Canada and Mexico if issues related to drug trafficking and migration are not addressed. Nevertheless, Trump later announced on Truth Social that he had a positive dialogue with Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, who purportedly agreed to curtail migration through Mexico. The concrete impact of this interaction on Trump's tariff plan, however, remains uncertain. Despite these developments, Canadian officials reiterated their readiness to defend national economic interests by preparing a list of US goods for potential tariffs. Historical precedents show such retaliations, highlighting political motivations behind product selection, like imposing duties on imports from Wisconsin and Kentucky, targeting influential US political figures' home states. (With inputs from agencies.)The year of 1997 was an important one in Papua New Guinea. By 1997, it had been 10 years since Channel 9 subsidiary, EMTV, televised its first NRL match. By then, a new generation of TV-watching kids had grown up with Australian rugby league as a weekend staple. That year also saw the expulsion of foreign mercenaries by the PNG defence force, the end of the Bougainville war, political instability in government, and for rugby league fans, the founding of Melbourne Storm on June 23. As young fans debated the future of the "Storms", they were thrilled to see a homegrown talent, Marcus Bai, sign up with the new team in 1998. Now, there were other prominent names before him in the PNG rugby league scene like Arnold Krewany, Bal Numapo, Ifisoe Segeyaro and Adrian Lam, but Bai was a huge inspiration to a newer generation who watched the game live on television. At 1.8 meters, the village boy from Ulamona, West New Britain province, played in the Port Moresby Rugby league competition for the Paga Panthers and Port Moresby Vipers before he tried out for the Storm. In 1999, Papua New Guineans were hugely rewarded when the Storm won their first premiership with one of their own, a star on Grandfinal night. Pathways to the NRL Bai's debut in the NRL was a rarity in the 1990s when Papua New Guinea had no set pathways for NRL entry or any other overseas league. The exposure many players got was when the Kumuls faced off with other league-playing nations in the Rugby League World Cup or when they played visiting overseas teams. Always, Papua New Guinea would go in as expected underdogs with many expecting "strong performances" ...and losses. The measure of the national team's performance was based largely against Australian representative sides. Against its Pacific neighbours, however, Papua New Guinea was viewed as the more dominant side. Ten years since Marcus Bai streaked across the field with that high-value comeback that saw the Storm win the 1999 premiership title, Papua New Guinea still struggled with that glaring absence of sure pathways to overseas recruitment. PNG politics and rugby league In a country where politicians like rubbing shoulders with league stars and where the level of fanaticism for politics equals that of the greatest game of all, PNG was headed towards some level of political intervention. It was no secret that while PNG politicians who sat in expensive VIP booths reluctantly clapped for the winning team, they were tired of having the national ego repeatedly punched in the guts and their team humiliated. The arrival of Digicel into the PNG telecommunication in 2008 provided internet access for tens of thousands of new subscribers, and, at the same time, brought to the fore a large vocal rugby league audience who questioned why the government was not investing in the sport. In 2008, founding prime minister Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare announced Papua New Guinea's bid for the NRL. It was a move supported by Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd. The PNG NRL Bid Project was allocated K500,000 by the Somare government and a further K30 million in 2022 by the Marape government. As word of the $600 million , it was met with a lot of criticism in Papua New Guinea. While some welcomed the news, not everyone is a follower of the religion of rugby league. As its prophets preach hope and jobs for future talent, another group of Papua New Guineans say the NRL bid is a shameful waste of Australian taxpayer money. For PNG politicians, their moves could have easily have been taken out of a Niccolo Machiavelli textbook as they "appear to be religious" whilst satisfying voters and scoring all the necessary political points. For the vast majority of Papua New Guineans, seeing more familiar faces in the NRL will be just a temporary relief to the harsh realities of living here. In nine months, PNG will mark 50 years as an independent political creation and two years after that, its people will go to the polls using figures from an incomplete, unsatisfactory census process conducted this year. It's difficult not to sound bleak as costs of food, good healthcare and education become increasingly unaffordable for the NRL-watching communities. While VIP booths will be occupied by the political elite spending taxpayer money, thousands more will go back home; families uncertain about their future.
