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 MediaJimmy Carter, the 39th U.S. president, has died at 100

Tables quickly turned against Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) during his fight against Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). In a few days, ‘The Gypsy King’ will face the ‘The Cat’ once again for a highly anticipated rematch at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Their first fight saw Fury suffer the first loss of his professional career. However, Fury feels he had the upper hand for most of the fight. The recently released Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury 2: Witnessing Greatness preview documentary saw the former champ delve into the nuances of the fight. And the areas where he let his confidence get the best of him. “85 percent of the fight, it was one way. It was more like me punching around the body and around the head at will. And having me way, quite comfortable ,” he said. This, however, instilled in him a heightened sense of confidence. And, as the cameras stood witness, Usyk started showboating, being the “jolly giant” that he is. While it went well for him initially, things quickly took a turn for the worse. “I didn’t feel like I was in a position of danger. One of the commentators picked it up and said, ‘Has anyone seen Tyson Fury clown this much?’ in a fight, even at the lower level. And no one did because it was the most I was playing games. And I ended up paying the price for it later on in the fight,” h e said. Fury seemed the most comfortable between rounds 3 and 6, and it seemed like victory was just a timely knockout away. However, he was not ready for the punishment that Usyk dished out during the ninth round, which turned out to be pivotal for the fight. The following rounds were no different, which, in turn, made Usyk the winner by decision. “Tyson’s Mindset Has Changed” Many members of the fraternity have voiced their concerns about a shift in Fury’s mindset during the first fight. In fact, Joseph Parker feels that Fury will only have a chance at winning the fight against Usyk if he changes his mindset. “I feel like the first fight was very back and forth. I think Tyson’s mindset has changed coming into this fight,” he said. “I feel that if you have a different mindset, that can bring a lot of changes. I believe Tyson can beat Usyk on a points decision, but it’s a tough one. I’m siding with Tyson, but I think it’s a points decision.” This article first appeared on Fights Around The World and was syndicated with permission.Future use of HMRC offices in Cosham set to be examined - but not just yet
