No. 7 USC is the fourth-tallest team in the country and the Trojans used that length to stay undefeated at the expense of Cal on Thursday night.

The Trojans converted eight offensive rebounds into 10 second-chance points in the first half. Then they merely attacked basket, making 11 of their first 16 shots in the second half on the way to a 77-63 victory at Haas Pavilion.

By the time it was over, the Trojans had scored 50 points in the paint.

"We didn't play well enough to beat a Top-10 team tonight," Cal coach Mark Fox says in the video at the top of this story. "We simply didn't rebound the ball in the first half. And in the second half we didn't force enough stops to even have our rebounding exposed."

Cal (9-5, 2-2 Pac-12) had won five straight games and nine in a row at home. And Bears played well during long stretches of the game.

They simply had no answer for the Trojans physical advantage, although Cal guard Jordan Shepherd said the Bears simply didn't measure up defensively.

USC (13-0, 3-0), with seven players standing at least 6-foot-9, overpowered the Bears in the second half. Isaiah Mobley, a 6-foot-10 forward, put up 19 points scoring on dunks, drives while also making both of his 3-point attempts.

The Trojans, who hadn't played in 18 days, used an 8-0 to push their lead to 46-35 on a drive by Ethan Anderson with 14:25 left. But the Bears did not go away.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Jordan Shepherd and Jalen Celestine and a pair of free throws by Shepherd pulled Cal within 52-48 with just over 10 minutes left.

The Bears got no closer, and when Joshua Morgan scored a layup with 5:18 left the Trojans had their biggest lead of the night at 65-53. That margin reached 15 points before the Bears closed a bit in the final minutes.

Drew Peterson scored 17 points and Boogie Ellis had 14 points for USC, which shot 64 percent in the second half. Peterson and Mobley each had nine rebounds.

Grant Anticevich, who led the Bears with 19 points, says in the video below he feels like the Bears gave the game away. Cal, playing two top-10 teams in the same week for the first time since 1975, takes on No. 5 UCLA on Saturday

Shepherd, limited in the first half by two early fouls, scored 15 for the Bears and Andre Kelly had 13 points and 11 rebounds. Celestine added 10 points. Point guard Joel Brown dished a career-high nine assists and had zero turnovers in 36 minutes on the floor.

The Bears shot 40.7 percent from the field, the highest percentage any opponent has managed this season against a USC team that is second nationally, allowing just 35 percent.

Cal trailed 36-31 at halftime after allowing the Trojans to convert eight offensive rebounds into 10 second-chance points. They used their length to build a 23-14 rebounding advantage in the first 20 minutes.

Cal shot well early in a half that had 10 lead changes but the Bears closed the half by making just one of eight attempts to finish the period at 38 percent.

The Bears last lead the half was 17-16 after Celestine converted a drive to the basket with 11:22 left.

The Trojans built their biggest lead of the half with an 8-0 run that made it 26-20 with 8 minutes left. They scored two of those basket following offensive rebounds and another off a steal that became a breakaway dunk.

Kelly had eight points and six rebounds for the Bears at halftime and Anticevich had eight points and six rebounds. Celestine came off the bench to score seven.

Mobley had 12 points and six rebounds for USC and Peterson posted eight and six.

Southern Valley's Breckyn Hammond (3) keeps the pressure on determined Chase County senior Jordan Jablonski during the varsity game at Southern Valley Tuesday evening.

R.B. Headley/McCook Gazette

OXFORD, Neb. Southern Valley continued its 2022 happy new year with a feisty 36-30 victory over always tough Chase County Tuesday evening.

The S.V. girls are 3-0 in January and 8-4 overall while dropping Chase to 9-4 this season.

Sophomore Ann Bose scored 16 points with four blocked shots.

Just as important was how the Eagles held Chase County junior Bryn McNair to 15 and no field goals after her seven-point first quarter.

Last night was a lot of fun, our girls played really well defensively, Eagles coach Richard McDonald remarked. Defensively, our goal was to keep McNair in check with a lot of back-side help. We did a great job of finding her in transition and for the most part keeping her off the boards.

Offensively our goal was to handle the pressure and not turn over the ball that lead to layups, he added. Ann did a great job of handling the pressure and getting the ball to her teammates.

Bose cleaned the glass for 14 rebounds and dished out four assists.

Adi Hunt added eight points while Bryn Bailey and Jenna Hunt added four apiece.

Senior Krista Best connected on one three-pointer to get the Eagles started early.

Southern Valley led just 19-17 deep into the third quarter but held off every Chase comeback.

As a team, we are off to a good start and continue to improve, McDonald concluded. We got to stay focused as we move into (RPAC conference.

Besides McNairs 15 points, seniors Jerzee Milner and Morgan Peterson both hit a three-pointer among their five points total.

Senior Jordan Jablonski finished with four points, Landree McNair three and Lucy Spady scored two

S.V girls beat Chase in battle of strong area teams - McCook Daily Gazette

Cobra Kai is back. Season 4 begins Friday and my family will be watching what is perhaps the most surprising hit of the decade and, personally, our favorite.

The Karate Kid spin-off had everything to go wrong. After several sequels and reboots, the franchise felt exhausted. Additionally, it was launched as part of YouTubes ill-fated plan to compete with Amazon and Netflix in producing original content.

However, Cobra Kai turned out to be a success. After being acquired by Netflix in June 2020, the show topped the Nielsen streaming charts. [empresa que faz medio de audincia], quickly racking up over 2 billion streaming minutes. The acquisition, as Forbes said, turned Cobra Kai from an obscure hit to Americas # 1 show.

The program works for a variety of reasons and has reached out to young people (my kids cant get enough), largely because it goes against the sacred cows of postmodernity and embraces radical ideas: self-ownership, personal responsibility, and individualism (in the best thick shell style of the 80s).

Cobra Kai does everything with humor and a different twist. The themes of individualism and self-improvement are channeled not by a wise sensei like Miyagi, but by degenerate Johnny Lawrence, the Karate Kid villain who was kicked in the face in the fifth. act.

Lawrence (William Zabka) is not a likely protagonist. If there had ever been a Mount Rushmore of 80s pop villains, Johnny Lawrence would be in it, stuck somewhere between Ed Rooney (Laughing Life Crazy), Judge Smails (Rubbish Club) and Biff Tannen (Back to the Future).

In the original Karate Kid, Johnny was the seemingly privileged bully who tormented Jerseys new working-class kid, leading Daniel Larussos transformation from punching bag to karate student and All Valley champion. (Larusso takes the title from Johnny, who until then was the champion.)

In Cobra Kai, things have changed.

Johnny is an unlucky handyman and beer drinker who watches American Eagle alone in his dingy apartment. From his red Firebird, he sees billboards popping up everywhere for the car dealerships of his old nemesis, Larusso Motors. He is divorced, separated from his son and arrested from the first episode. However, her life changes when a young man from her apartment building named Miguel asks for help dealing with bullies at school. Seems familiar?

Johnny agrees to train Miguel, but hes not Mr. Miyagi. He is gruff, a walking personification of toxic masculinity and intolerant. He calls Miguel Menudo (a successful Puerto Rican band in the 1980s), mocks immigrants, generalizes and sometimes uses a derogatory word that refers to a female body part. At one point, Miguel asks why he didnt let the women into Cobra Kai.

For the same reason that there are women in the army. It just doesnt make sense, says Johnny. Dont tell me that machismo bullshit. Im just saying that women are not made to fight. They have little hollow bones.

Johnny quickly gives in by letting the girls join Cobra Kai, however, this is only one step on his path to growth. And its this growth that makes the series so interesting. Johnnys weaknesses would be terrifying to modern audiences if they werent weighed against the larger story arc: Johnnys transformation from degenerate to true sensei.

Viewers see that Cobra Kai the dojo that tormented Daniel Larusso in Karate Kid isnt that bad. Under Johnnys tutelage, a host of misfit students learn something important: they dont have to be victims.

I will teach you the style of karate that I was taught. A method of combat that your generation desperately needs, says Johnny. You will gain strength. You will learn the discipline. And when the time is right, you will retaliate.

This post is a bit controversial, but the authors actually show that its not just physical strength that is taught. Johnny teaches his students that they have power and agency. One student, Eli, is mercilessly mocked at school for having a cleft palate. Even Johnny mocks Eli, calling him the lip. He describes the other students as a crater face and a piercing.

If the story ended there, we would see Johnny as a ruthless bully who hasnt changed at all since Daniel Larusso kicked him in the face in the tournament 30 years ago. Instead, however, after briefly leaving Cobra Kai because of Johnnys mean jokes, Eli returns changed (in both good and bad ways).

This is just one of many examples of Johnny showing his students that they have the power to shape their own destiny if they can find their inner strength, courage and identity. Equally important, we see how this philosophy is transformative in Johnnys own growth.

No doubt some will find Johnnys actions appalling; others will find them funny. The important thing is that Cobra Kai basically offers a philosophy of life taught by Jordan Peterson: use your power and influence as an individual to take control of your life.

Johnny does not remain unhappy, a man without a stable job who watches television alone and is mistaken for homelessness. After being fired, he arranges his life. He starts a dojo, takes Miguel as a student, drinks less, learns to give his students valuable lessons and not to belittle them. He cleans his apartment.

This last element may seem unnecessary. Its not. This fits perfectly with the philosophy of self-possession, taught by Peterson as a path to personal growth.

If you cant even clean your own room, who are you to give the world advice? Peterson says, I think if you want to change the world, start with yourself and work outside, because you develop your skills that way.

In essence, Johnny decides its time to take responsibility for his life the most important rule for Peterson and this is just one example of Cobra Kais broader exploration of individualism and of empowerment, themes that are explored in the first three seasons. .

Autonomy was once an American creed. Seen as the key to a fulfilling life the great essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson observed that nothing can bring you peace but yourself philosophy is out of fashion. But its a theme that permeates Cobra Kai.

In the series first three seasons, we see Miguel and his friends overcome lifes challenges not by chatting with teachers or running away from threats, but by learning to cope with their fears and the externalities that they are. faced. They make mistakes along the way. Friendships are broken. People get hurt. But they become stronger in body, soul, and spirit, and they learn that their newfound power must be balanced with other virtues, including mercy.

For the generations who have grown up in what Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff call a culture of safetyism, a type of fetish for safety and victimization, Cobra Kai may be the tonic they need to show that true strength and growth are unattainable. society or appeal to authority to resolve conflicts. It is done by changing yourself.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. From 1993 to 1998 he served as assistant and then associate professor of psychology at Harvard. He spent fifteen years writing Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999; released in June 2018as a now bestselling author-readaudiobook). Maps of Meaning is a scholarly investigation into the nature of narrative and religious thought, the structure of perception, the regulation of emotion, and the motivation for atrocity in the service of ideology. Dr. Peterson also penned the popular global bestsellers Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life & 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, #1 for nonfiction in 2018 in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, Brazil and Norway, both translated into some 50 languages. The latter book has sold more than five million copies; the former, released in mid 2021, 750,000.

Raised and toughened in the frigid wastelands of Northern Alberta :), Dr. Peterson has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stuntplane, piloted a mahogany racing sailboat around Alcatraz Island, explored an Arizona meteorite crater with a group of astronauts, built a Native American Long-House on the upper floor of his Toronto home, and been inducted into a Pacific Kwakwakawakw family (see charlesjoseph.ca). Hes been a dishwasher, short-order cook, beekeeper, tow-truck driver, gas jockey, bartender, oil derrick bit re-tipper, plywood mill laborer and railway line worker. Hes taught mythology to physicians, lawyers, and businessmen; worked with Jim Balsillie, former CEO of Blackberrys Research in Motion, on Resilient People, Resilient Planet, the report of the UN Secretary Generals High Level Panel on Global Sustainability; helped his clinical clients manage the triumphs and catastrophes of life; served as an advisor to senior partners of major Canadian law firms; penned the forward for the 50th anniversary edition of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyns The Gulag Archipelago; lectured to university audiences all around the English-speaking world (see Harvard 2017, Cambridge (2018, 2021, 2021 TBA) and Oxford (2018, 2021 TBA); identified thousands of promising entrepreneurs, with the The Founder Institute in 60 different countries; spoke to sold-out audiences across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in the course of one of the most-well attended booktours ever mounted; and is currently mounting the 2022 Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life book tour on a similar scale (tickets available here).

With his students and colleagues, Dr. Peterson has published more than a hundred scientific papers with his colleagues and students, advancing the modern understanding of alcoholism, antisocial behavior, play, emotion, creativity, competence and personality. He was nominated for five consecutive years as one of Ontarios Best University Lecturers, and was one of only three profs rated as life changing in the U of Ts underground student handbook of course ratings.

In 2016, shortly before the publication of 12 Rules, several of Dr. Petersons online lectures, videos and interviews went viral, launching him into unprecedented international prominence as a public intellectual and educator. His work, public postings and discussions are featured on the following platforms:

Dr. Petersons classroom lectures on mythology and the psychology of religion, based on Maps of Meaning (2016 version here), were turned into a popular 13-part TV series on Canadian public televisionsTVO. Malcolm Gladwell discussed psychology with him while researching his books; Norman Doidge, author of The Brain that Changes Itself, wrote the forward to 12 Rules; and bestselling thriller writer Gregg Hurwitz employed several of his valuable things as a plot feature in his #1 international bestseller, Orphan X.

With his colleagues, Dr. Daniel M. Higgins and Dr. Robert O. Pihl, Dr. Peterson has also produced two online programs to help people understand themselves better and to improve their psychological and practical functioning. The most recent of these, UnderstandMyself, provides its users with detailed information about their personalities, based on work he published with his students here. Tens of thousands of people now know themselves better, as a consequence of completing this 15-minute program.His original self-analysis program,theSelf Authoring Suite, (featured in O: The Oprah Magazine, CBC radio, and NPRs national website), has helped over 200,000 people resolve the problems of their past, rectify their personality faults and enhance their virtues, and radically improve their future. Research documenting the programs effectiveness can be found here and here.

Dr. Peterson has appeared on many popular podcasts and shows, including the Joe Rogan Experience (#877, #958, #1006), The Rubin Report (12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Free Speech, Psychology, Gender Pronouns), H3H3(#37), and many more. He is currently working on a new book, tentatively titledBeyond Mere Order: 12 More Rules for Life, slated for publication in late 2020.
