data-mm-id=”_mmkrpu53b”>Miles McBride can't stop making clutch shots from deep.The New York Knicks guard emerged as a key contributor last season when the team was ravaged by injuries, averaging 17.9 points and shooting 40.7% on 3-pointers as a starter. The 23-year-old cemented his fan-favorite status in the playoffs, averaging 11.0 points and scoring 20 points or more twice.On Friday, the former West Virginia star returned to Morgantown to appear on the TV show of a fellow Mountaineers alum, Pat McAfee, who presented McBride with the fun but pressure-packed challenge that has become common during timeouts and halftimes of basketball games — making a long-distance shot for money.McAfee handed McBride a black-and-white ball and told him if he made the shot a lucky student (who showed up early for Friday's show) would receive free tuition for the school year, courtesy of McAfee. McBride accepted the challenge. After one practice shot and one miss, he came through for the kid. And the West Virginia crowd erupted.DEUCE MCBRIDE FOR SOME KIDS TUITION 🗣🗣LET'S GOOOO @deucemcb11#WVUPMSLive pic.twitter.com/hEmFeqSzVw— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) August 30, 2024Including fees, West Virginia tuition for the 2024-25 school year is $10,104 for in-state students and $26,608 for out of state. Either way, it's an unexpected bonus."He just changed a life right there," said Ty Schmit, one of McAfee's show mates.

France were many people s tip heading into Qatar 2022, having been so impressive when they lifted the World Cup four years ago.
On paper, they have the sort of team that would have most players of the FIFA 23 video game drooling, or at least, they did before injuries started to pile up.
Midfield pair Paul Pogba and N Golo Kante, both so crucial to their 2018 success, had already been ruled out, and in the days since head coach Didier Deschamps announced his squad, two more high-profile names have been forced to withdraw.
The loss of Christopher Nkunku was a blow despite the RB Leipzig forward being unlikely to start, his 48 goal involvements (37 goals and 11 assists) in 2022 only second to France team-mate Kylian Mbappe (57 43 goals and 14 assists) among players …
Liverpool and Newcastle United produce goals.
Across 50 prior Premier League encounters ahead of Wednesday s meeting at St James Park, the ball had found the net 159 times.
Indeed, in Premier League history, only four fixtures – Arsenal v Liverpool (166), Liverpool v Tottenham (162), Arsenal v Everton (162) and Arsenal v Tottenham (161) – have provided more goals.
With Liverpool – who claimed their biggest ever top-flight away win in their previous game on the road, thrashing Crystal Palace 7-0 – aiming to respond to a Sam Allardyce special at Anfield, and Newcastle having failed to keep a clean sheet in their past 11 home league matches, the stage seemed set for another goal-fest.
Yet on a snowy night on Tyneside, the champions were held for…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Marcos Rojo is set to leave Manchester United, but Jesse Lingard could still have a future at the club despite nearing a loan move to West Ham.
Argentina international Rojo has played for United since 2014, when he was brought in by Louis van Gaal, but has long been out of the first-team reckoning.
The last time he managed to reach double figures for Premier League appearances in a single season was 2016-17, when he played 21 times in Jose Mourinho s first campaign in charge.
But injuries and poor form saw that figure drop to nine in 2017-18 – he then featured just five times in 2018-19 and thrice last term before he was sent to former club Estudiantes on loan.
His brief stint back in Argentina did not …
Eddie Howe has admitted he will never be able to bask in glory no matter what he achieves at Newcastle.
The 45-year-old has guided the club to the brink of Champions League qualification in his first full season in charge.
A win over Premier League strugglers Leicester at St James’ Park on Monday will be enough to seal a top-four place.
Team.

But even ending a 20-year wait to return to the big stage, at the end of a campaign which also included a first major cup final appearance since 1999, would not satisfy the Magpies’ head coach.
Asked if that was just the way he is, Howe said: “Unfortunately, yes, which means you’re on sort of a conveyor belt that you can’t get off.
“Everyone will s…
Graham Potter has told his Chelsea players there can be no excuses for failure in 2023 – even as injuries strike at the heart of their squad.
The head coach will be without the sidelined Reece James, Ben Chilwell, N Golo Kante and Wesley Fofana, among others, as Chelsea begin the new year at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Chelsea have lost their last three away games, last losing on four consecutive road trips in January and February 2019 under Maurizio Sarri, so the imperative is to end that dire streak immediately. Potter says he is experiencing his most challenging time as a coach.
Second-bottom Forest have not hosted Chelsea at the City Ground since February 1999, and Potter is wary of what he expects to be a fierce welcome by the River Trent.

Patrik Schick s fifth goal at Euro 2020 was not enough to inspire a comeback as Denmark beat the Czech Republic 2-1 to take their place in the semi-finals.
Schick joined Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scoring charts with his fifth goal of the tournament early in the second half in Baku.
Yet he will have no further opportunity to add to his tally, as a fantastic first-half performance, which included goals from Thomas Delaney and Kasper Dolberg, ensured Denmark reached the last four of a Euros for the first time since they won the 1992 edition.
Kasper Hjulmand s team, whose tally of 11 goals trails only fellow semi-finalists Spain, will face either England or Ukraine next.
Approximately 1,500 Danish supporters were able to make the trip to Baku, and t…
Diego Simeone warned Atletico Madrid against focusing all their energy on stopping Vinicius Junior in Thursday s Copa del Rey quarter-final against rivals Real Madrid.
Vinicius is enjoying another standout campaign for Carlo Ancelotti s men, leading his team-mates for goal contributions (16 – 11 goals, five assists) across all competitions as they bid to follow up last season s LaLiga and Champions League double.
The last Madrid derby was marred by racist abuse being directed towards the winger, who responded by dancing in front of Atletico s supporters after Los Blancos took the lead in a 2-1 win.
The Brazil international will look to guide Madrid to their first Copa del Rey semi-final since 2019 on Thursday, but Simeone is aware he will not be the only threat…
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has expressed his concern about the demands on players in light of changes such as an expanded Club World Cup and more time being added on in games.
After winning the Champions League to complete their treble last term, City will compete in December’s Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia – what is planned to be the final edition featuring seven teams, with the next a 32-side competition taking place in the United States in the summer of 2025.
Meanwhile, the significant increase in time added on seen at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, designed to tackle timewasting, is something set to apply to Premier League matches this season.
Speaking ahead of his side opening their 2023-24 campaign with Sunday’s Community Shield clash agai…
Erik ten Hag s Ajax matched Johan Cruyff s record in Eredivisie following Saturday s 5-2 win over lowly Fortuna Sittard.
Ajax improved their tally to 250 goals in 82 matches under head coach Ten Hag after overturning an early deficit against bottom side Fortuna in Amsterdam.
It is only the second time an Eredivisie team have scored at least 250 goals in their first 82 games under a specific manager after Cruyff s Ajax in 1987, per Opta.
Ten Hag took charge of Ajax in 2017 and the 50-year-old has guided the Dutch giants to Eredivisie, KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield glory, while he oversaw the club s memorable run to the 2018-19 Champions League semi-final.

Goals in either half from Stephen Humphrys and Callum Lang gave Wigan a third 2-0 win in the space of a week as 10-man Shrewsbury were seen off in comfortable fashion at the DW Stadium.
The visitors had been on the back foot for the entire game after seeing former Wigan centre-back Chey Dunkley – facing his old club for the first time since leaving in the summer of 2020 – sent off inside four minutes for hauling down Thelo Aasgaard on the edge of the box.
After that, it was only ever a question of when and not if Wigan would break through.
It was Humphrys who opened the scoring after 35 minutes when he was given too much time and space 20 yards from goal.
After Shrews defender Mal Branning hit his own post, Humphrys inexplicably headed wide just after…
