Wake Forest keeps trying new things early in the season, even if not all of the adjustments are by design. The Demon Deacons will try to stick to the script when Detroit Mercy visits for Saturday's game in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Demon Deacons (5-1) will be at home for the final time prior to three consecutive road games. Detroit Mercy (3-2) already has two more victories than all of last season. After a couple of narrow wins and a loss at Xavier, Wake Forest had a smoother time earlier this week in defeating visiting Western Carolina 82-69 on Tuesday night. Yet these are games when teams have to figure where contributions are going to come from in certain situations. The experimenting took a turn for Wake Forest in the Western Carolina game. Center Efton Reid III had limited minutes because of migraines, so there was a shift in responsibilities. Normal backcourt players Cameron Hildreth and Juke Harris logged time at the power forward slot. "That's just part of it," coach Steve Forbes said. "They did a good job adjusting. We ran a lot of stuff and there are several guys learning different positions. ... I give credit to those guys for doing the best job that they could do on the fly and adjusting to the play calls that we ran and the stuff that we changed." Wake Forest could excel if both Parker Friedrichsen and Davin Cosby can be consistent 3-point threats. Friedrichsen slumped with shooting in the first few games of the season and was replaced in the starting lineup by Cosby. In Tuesday's game, Friedrichsen drained four 3-pointers, while Cosby hit two. "It was really good to see Parker and Davin both make shots together," Forbes said. Not everything was solved for the Demon Deacons. Western Carolina collected 12 offensive rebounds, and that took some of the shine off Wake Forest's defensive efforts. "We can't be a good defensive team, or a really good defensive team, unless we rebound the ball," Forbes said. "It's demoralizing to your defense to get stops and then not get the ball." In Detroit Mercy's 70-59 win at Ball State on Wednesday, Orlando Lovejoy tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. "We got the ball to the shooters and playmakers," first-year Titans coach Mark Montgomery said. "You could tell by the guys' body language that we were going to get a road win. It had been a long time coming." On Saturday, the Titans will look for their second road victory since February 2023. The outcome at Ball State seemed significant to Montgomery. "We had to get over the hump," he said. "Our guys grinded it out." --Field Level MediaTeen actor Hudson Meek, who appeared in ‘Baby Driver,’ dies after falling from moving vehicle

Umesh Yawalkar, BJP MLA from Morshi, also followed suit, demonstrating a shared sentiment among legislators from the region, though he did mention "Jai Maharashtra" as well. Unlike previous years, no objections or protests were raised by anti-Vidarbha parties — both factions of the Shiv Sena. This subtle shift in political dynamics hints at a gradual change in the discourse surrounding the Vidarbha statehood issue. Datke's phone remained switched off throughout the day. The sentiment is not new; it has consistently surfaced over the past decade. In 2019, the slogan was raised by three MLAs from the Nagpur district — Tekchand Sawarkar (BJP), Vikas Thakre (Congress), and Raju Parwe (Congress) — during their oath-taking ceremony. Speaking to the media later, the MLAs passionately argued for justice for Vidarbha, citing unfulfilled promises and stalled projects like the Gosikhurd irrigation project and Mihan. They lamented the lack of industrial growth, which forced local youth to migrate in search of jobs, and demanded a structured development plan. Parwe and Sawarkar echoed similar concerns, emphasizing that statehood was the only viable solution to address the region's developmental backlog. The origins of the "Jai Vidarbha" slogan during the oath ceremony can be traced back to 2014. It was the then Katol MLA Ashish Deshmukh who raised "Jai Vidarbha" slogans during his swearing-in ceremony. This act led to uproar from Shiv Sena members, who demanded Deshmukh's disqualification for allegedly undermining Maharashtra's unity. Despite warnings of suspension from the pro-tem Speaker, Deshmukh stood firm, setting a precedent for Vidarbha-focused legislators. Over the years, the Vidarbha statehood demand has been fuelled by frustrations over the region's marginalization, lack of industrial investment, and incomplete infrastructure projects. While the BJP has put the entire issue on the backburner after coming to power, social organizations argue for equitable development through statehood. The absence of resistance to the "Jai Vidarbha" slogan this year could signal evolving political attitudes, offering a glimmer of hope to Vidarbha's advocates who remain committed to their cause. As the slogan continues to echo in assembly halls, it symbolizes a deep-rooted aspiration for justice and development among Vidarbha's people, keeping the dream of statehood alive.

Microsoft flags $0.8M writedown on stake in GM-backed CruiseNEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen is headed back to the World Blitz Championship on Monday after its governing body agreed to loosen a dress code that got him fined and denied a late-round game in another tournament for refusing to change out of jeans . Lamenting the contretemps, International Chess Federation President Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement Sunday that he'd let World Blitz Championship tournament officials consider allowing “appropriate jeans” with a jacket, and other “elegant minor deviations” from the dress code. He said Carlsen's stand — which culminated in his quitting the tournament Friday — highlighted a need for more discussion “to ensure that our rules and their application reflect the evolving nature of chess as a global and accessible sport.” Carlsen, meanwhile, said in a video posted Sunday on social media that he would play — and wear jeans — in the World Blitz Championship when it begins Monday. “I think the situation was badly mishandled on their side,” the 34-year-old Norwegian grandmaster said. But he added that he loves playing blitz — a fast-paced form of chess — and wanted fans to be able to watch, and that he was encouraged by his discussions with the federation after Friday's showdown. “I think we sort of all want the same thing,” he suggested in the video on his Take Take Take chess app’s YouTube channel. “We want the players to be comfortable, sure, but also relatively presentable.” The events began when Carlsen wore jeans and a sportcoat Friday to the Rapid World Championship, which is separate from but held in conjunction with the blitz event. The chess federation said Friday that longstanding rules prohibit jeans at those tournaments, and players are lodged nearby to make sartorial switch-ups easy if needed. An official fined Carlsen $200 and asked him to change pants, but he refused and wasn't paired for a ninth-round game, the federation said at the time. The organization noted that another grandmaster, Ian Nepomniachtchi, was fined earlier in the day for wearing sports shoes, changed and continued to play. Carlsen has said that he offered to wear something else the next day, but officials were unyielding. He said “it became a bit of a matter of principle,” so he quit the rapid and blitz championships. In the video posted Sunday, he questioned whether he had indeed broken a rule and said changing clothes would have needlessly interrupted his concentration between games. He called the punishment “unbelievably harsh.” “Of course, I could have changed. Obviously, I didn’t want to,” he said, and “I stand by that.”It is no secret that the Raptors have been decimated by injuries to start the season. Toronto has had 11 different players on their injury report, with the team already having 102 games missed between the roster. Only the Grizzlies have had more games missed due to injuries, with a staggering 114. While this isn’t a good thing, it has allowed head coach Darko Rajakovic to give everyone some run and get minutes. However, with the team starting to regain their entire lineup, who will fall out of the Raptors rotation? Raptors Tinker With Rotation As Team Nears Full Strength Already Fallen Out Last night’s game against the Mavericks was the first time Kelly Olynyk has suited up this season. In his first game back , Olynyk was on fire. He went a perfect 3-3 from the field and 4-4 from the foul line. With Olynyk back, there are fewer minutes in the frontcourt, and last night Chris Boucher didn’t see the court. Boucher’s minutes have steadily decreased over the previous five games. In those five outings, he has averaged 14.4 minutes a night, down from his 18 minutes for the season. It’s not surprising that Boucher was one of the first to see his minutes slashed. Last season, Boucher fell out of the rotation and never seemed to earn coach Rajakovic’s trust. He also doesn’t fit the style of play Toronto is asking for, lacking the ability to make quick and smart reads offensively. Olynyk’s return seems to spell the end for Boucher’s time in the rotation and maybe his time with Toronto. Boucher wasn’t the only Raptor to get his minutes slashed last night, with Jamal Shead receiving his first career DNP. Shead has been solid this season . However, with Scottie Barnes coming into his own as the starting point guard and Davion Mitchell outplaying him for the backup point guard minutes, there aren’t any minutes for him. With Immanuel Quickley getting closer to his return, it seems unlikely there will be many minutes for Shead unless there are injuries. On The Chopping Block As Toronto continues to get back to full strength, it will be harder to find minutes developing all the rookies. Jamison Battle was one of the first rookies to see his minutes slashed heavily, only playing four minutes last game. With Battle being undrafted and on a two-way contract, it makes sense for the team to prioritize developing players it has already invested more into. However with his shooting touch, it will be hard to keep him out of the lineup completely given that the team lacks spacing. With Battle on a two-way, he can only play in 50 games this season and is currently at 23 games. The team might want to save those games for later when they need an extra shooter. Who’s Next? While Toronto is closer to full strength, Bruce Brown has yet to suit up this season, and Quickley has only played a few games. Once they both return, Toronto’s backcourt will be deep. In addition to those two, guys like Barnes, RJ Barrett , Gradey Dick , Ochai Agbaji , and Mitchell are able to play point or shooting guard. For someone like Ja’Kobe Walter , minutes will be much more limited, and he could fall out of the Raptors rotation. Getting more time with the 905 might do him more than limited playing time in the NBA. This article first appeared on Last Word On Sports and was syndicated with permission.
