College basketball player's bizarre foul shot goes viral in season-opener: 'Diabolical'
Free-throw shooting is the simplest part of the game of basketball to understand but the act itself comes easy for some and nearly impossible for others – just ask Shaquille O’Neal.
The technique taught at basketball camps back in my day was the B.E.E.F method. Balance, eyes, elbow, follow-through. As you get further in your basketball career, a coach may tell you to pick a spot at the center of the free-throw line and line it up with the center of the backboard. Sure, the pressure mounts, your hands get sweaty and things can go awry. Who hasn’t airballed a foul shot in front of a Catholic school auditorium filled with 50 people on a Saturday morning?

Finding that balance and getting the technique down pat is important. It’s why South Florida Bulls women’s basketball center Kendall Puryear caught people off guard on Monday against the Furman Paladins.
Puryear went to the foul line in the second quarter with 3:54 left in the first half. She took her time and jolted upward, looking as though she was going to shoot her shot like any other player but instead cocked back her right arm and chucked the basketball toward the basket.
She missed both foul shots – the only two she took in the Bulls’ 80-54 win – and finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes.

But it was the strange shooting motion that took over social media.
Puryear, a junior, spent the first two seasons of her collegiate career with the Purdue Boilermakers before she transferred to South Florida. She averaged 6.6 points and 3.2 rebounds during the 2025-26 season with Purdue.
Over her career, Puryear is shooting 57% from the free-throw line.
She was a McDonald’s All-American Game nominee and a finalist for Miss Show-Me Basketball in Missouri.
Trump says Israel will stop receiving $4B in US aid by year's end, can still buy weapons
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that U.S. aid to Israel would end at the close of the year, arguing that the country no longer needs the assistance and can purchase its own weapons.
"We were giving them $4 billion – we are – but it gets cut off at the end of the year," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday morning in an Election Day morning announcement.
Trump said the support included "things and money," and described it as military aid, cash or "barter." He said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed ending the assistance for years, adding that Netanyahu raised the idea.
"They don’t need it," Trump said. "Israel is a very thriving country."
The current U.S.-Israel security assistance agreement provides about $3.8 billion annually through 2028. Netanyahu has previously said he wants to phase out Israel’s reliance on U.S. military aid, though the timing and terms of any change to the agreement have not been detailed.

Sixers fan who had his cup of wine drunk by LeBron James mid-game describes moment with epic quote
LeBron James is a wine guy, famously sharing years ago that he drinks a glass of the grape pretty much every day. He partook on Monday night, but under quite unusual circumstances.
During the third quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers' home matchup against the Chicago Bulls, James chased after a loose ball and ended up bumping into a fan who happened to be carrying a cup of red wine.
James saw this as an opportunity for a quick tasting, so he grabbed the cup from the fan's hand and took a sip before getting back out onto the floor.
While it made for a viral moment and gave the fan, Troy Clemons, a story he could tell for the rest of his life, he didn't make it any bigger than what it was.
Speaking with ESPN's Kris Rhim after having his cup of wine taken from him, Clemons shared his initial reaction to the moment while dropping a strong line about James being a regular guy.
"At the end of the day, he's another man like me," Clemons said when asked what he was going to do with the cup James drank from. "He's LeBron, but I threw that cup in the trash, and it's nothing up with him, but I just got a fresh drink."

In a world where the majority of people in Clemons' situation would have milked the situation for all it is worth, it's cool to see a regular guy have a regular reaction to a moment such as this.
Philadelphia ended up blowing out the Bulls 126-107 on Monday night, as James scored 15 points, dished out nine assists, and snagged seven rebounds in 31 minutes of action.
James' tenure in Philadelphia has gotten off to a nearly flawless start, with the 76ers opening the campaign up at 7-1 and the 41-year-old looking extremely comfortable in a new city and a new role of not being asked to do all of the heavy lifting.
Warriors' Draymond Green throws Suns player to floor, grabs opponent's jersey in heated confrontation
Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green was involved in a skirmish on Monday night. How many times have you read that sentence before?
The 15-year NBA veteran who has been in a number of scuffles and confrontations added another to his resume against the Phoenix Suns. The four-time All-Star was running back on defense in the third quarter when Suns center Khaman Maluach received the ball in the paint.

As Maluach tried to establish position, Green fell to the ground. Green immediately got back up as Maluach received the ball and tried for a lay-up. Green decided to wrap his arms around the 7-foot-1 player’s waist and threw him down to the floor.
Dillon Brooks rushed over and put his hand on Green to get him to backpedal from Maluach. Green, in turn, grabbed Brooks by his jersey. Green had to be pulled back to the sideline. Green was hit with consecutive technical fouls and received his first ejection of the season.
Golden State was down 67-57 with 10 minutes left in the period, but stormed all the way back to win the game 116-113.
Brooks said he was trying to keep things calm when he entered the fray.
"I was just trying to deescalate the whole thing," Brooks said. "He did a lot there, fell down, and pushed him at the end of it. I was just trying to deescalate it. He was just tweaking all game. So let it be."

Warriors guard Brandon Podziemski said the incident "fueled" the team.
"We didn't have that edge to us to start the game," he said. "Found it a little bit in the second quarter and then they came out in the third quarter pretty well and then that kind of changed the game for us. Everybody locked in a little bit more and came together for Dray. I think it was needed. Maybe he sensed it, maybe he didn't, but it helped us."
Maluach brushed off Green’s antics.
"I think it's just a basketball play, he's just out there playing basketball," Maluach said. "Nothing against Draymond, he's just playing basketball out there."
Green has received 179 technical fouls in his career and has been ejected 23 times. He now has three technical fouls in the Warriors’ first eight games.

Florida polling places in 7 counties are moving locations due to flooding
Florida voters in seven counties are being directed to temporary polling locations Tuesday, after widespread flooding prompted Gov. Ron DeSantis to issue an emergency order allowing election officials to relocate voting sites ahead of the midterm elections.
The Florida Department of State confirmed polling-place changes in Brevard, Highlands, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties, according to its website, which was updated on Election Day.
DeSantis signed Executive Order 26-227 on Monday after a low-pressure system brought heavy rainfall across parts of Florida from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, triggering flash flood warnings and threatening roads, schools and other critical infrastructure.

The order declared a state of emergency in Brevard, DeSoto, Hardee, Highlands, Indian River, Martin and St. Lucie counties. It also allows county election supervisors who cannot meet certain polling-place requirements to seek approval from Florida's secretary of state for alternative voting arrangements.
The Florida Department of State published a list of temporary polling locations for affected voters.
In Brevard County, several precincts have been reassigned to New Shiloh Christian Center and Joseph N. Davis Community Center in Melbourne, as well as Palm Bay City Hall.
In Highlands County, voters assigned to Precinct 20 at Springlake Community Center in Sebring are being redirected to the Penny Ogg Operations Center.
Indian River County voters assigned to Precinct 7 at Sebastian Church of God are being directed to Sebastian Elks Lodge No. 2714.
In Martin County, voting at Grace Presbyterian Church has been moved to the county supervisor of elections office in Stuart.
THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. HERE'S WHAT'S AT STAKE ON ELECTION DAY
Okeechobee County voters assigned to Precinct 10 at Fort Drum Community Church are being directed to High Point Church.
In Palm Beach County, voters assigned to Casa Rio Clubhouse and Ironhorse Country Club are being directed to RB Preparatory and Achievement Academy and North County Senior Center, respectively.
St. Lucie County has reported multiple changes, with affected voters being redirected to locations including the Port St. Lucie Community Center, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Event Center, Tradition Town Hall and Havert L. Fenn Center.
The state cautioned that relocations remain subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Voters can check the Florida Department of State's emergency election resources page or contact their county supervisor of elections to confirm their assigned polling place.
Polls in Florida are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time Tuesday. Voters in line when polls close will be permitted to cast their ballots.
Federal judge tosses Trump admin Harvard admissions lawsuit, leaves door open to future challenge
A federal judge on Monday dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking to force Harvard University to turn over admissions records as part of an investigation into whether the Ivy League school continues to consider race in its admissions process.
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun ruled that the Justice Department had not adequately established that it followed required procedures before suing Harvard to obtain applicant-level admissions data.
The dismissal was issued without prejudice, leaving the door open for the administration to file another lawsuit if it addresses the procedural deficiencies identified by the court.
"The Government may be able to identify a qualifying determination or cure the procedural deficiency, but it has not supplied a sufficient basis for the judicial relief currently sought," Joun wrote in his 10-page decision.
The Justice Department filed its lawsuit in February, alleging that Harvard had failed to cooperate with a federal civil rights review examining whether the university's admissions practices comply with the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling limiting the use of race in college admissions.
The Justice Department alleged that Harvard repeatedly delayed producing requested documents and failed to provide individualized admissions records despite multiple requests and extended deadlines.
JUDGE’S HARVARD ANTISEMITISM RULING SENDS TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BACK TO DRAWING BOARD
In announcing the lawsuit in February, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Harvard of withholding information necessary for the government's review.
"Harvard has failed to disclose the data we need to ensure that its admissions are free of discrimination," Bondi said at the time.
Joun acknowledged that federal officials had made repeated requests for records and warned Harvard of potential enforcement action. But the judge found that the government's court filings failed to adequately demonstrate that officials had followed the required procedures before seeking judicial intervention.
In particular, Joun noted that the Justice Department's complaint did not allege that officials had notified Harvard of their intent to pursue litigation if the university failed to comply or adequately identified the specific compliance failure at issue.

Joun also found that the Department of Education had not sufficiently demonstrated that it followed its own required procedures before referring its separate admissions investigation for judicial enforcement.
Harvard's attorneys argued that the lawsuit was part of a broader retaliatory campaign by the Trump administration after the university resisted demands for changes to its governance and academic policies, according to Reuters.
The judge did not rule on Harvard's retaliation claims, stressing that his decision addressed procedural deficiencies rather than whether the university had violated federal civil rights law.
"Nothing in this decision converts the Government's request for information into an accusation of present discrimination or resolves Harvard's underlying Title VI compliance," the judge wrote.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Justice Department, Department of Education and Harvard University for comment.

Former NFL star says he previously flew on private jet that crashed in Florida: 'Absolutely devastated'
Joe Mixon, a two-time NFL Pro Bowl running back, came to the harsh realization he had been aboard the private jet that plunged out of the sky and crashed onto a Florida highway.
The former Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans star wrote on social media on Monday he was on the same plane about a month ago.

"Absolutely devastated by yesterday’s tragic plane crash in Florida and the loss of all nine lives," he wrote on X. "I flew on that exact aircraft last month with those same two pilots. They were incredible professionals and genuinely wonderful people. Hearing the young woman’s story and learning about the bright future she had ahead of her makes it even more heartbreaking that her life was cut so short.
"My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the grieving families and loved ones of everyone on board. A tragic reminder of how fragile life is. Love on your loved ones while you can, because you never know what tomorrow may bring."
The Learjet 60 crashed in a Palm Beach County neighborhood on Sunday. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Monday there were indications the jet was breaking apart before the fiery wreck and that investigators were zeroing in on weather conditions being a major factor in the incident.

"The weather conditions are a major focus of the investigation," NTSB member Tom Chapman said at a news conference. "You all saw what the weather was like here at the surface. What we have to determine is what the weather conditions were like at altitude."
Later Monday, the nine victims of the crash were identified.
Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, was the co-pilot, Jeff Gregory, 55, was the pilot in charge, Adam Robinson, 45, was a Texas tech entrepreneur and was traveling with his wife Helen Sharp and their two children and Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr, who were traveling together and building their lives together.
Gadelha Filgueiras was an aspiring commercial pilot from Palm Beach County who earned her private pilot's license at 17, before she got her driver's license. Filgueiras trained through her high school's aviation academy and later graduated from American Flyers flight school.

MICHAEL RUIZ: Idaho college massacre survivor says family moved 9 times as strangers followed them
The University of Idaho student massacre survivor who came face-to-face with a masked man believed to be Bryan Kohberger is asking a Latah County judge to press pause on an order granting the release of video and images that could show her face in a firsthand letter describing how the trauma has upended her life.
"I worry that even appearing in the background of someone’s photo could lead to more people recognizing me or identifying where I am," Dylan Mortensen wrote in an affidavit to Judge Megan Marshall, asking her to reconsider the order.
Mortensen added that she now uses an alias for delivery orders, at her job and even when introducing herself to new people.
BRYAN KOHBERGER'S COURT HEARINGS ABRUPTLY CANCELED AS LAWYER WARNS OF LENGTHY LEGAL BATTLE
"Since November 2022, my family and I have had to move nine times in an effort to protect our privacy and safety," she wrote. "Reporters and strangers investigating the case on their own have shown up outside our homes, followed family members, and invaded our privacy in ways that have made it difficult to feel safe."
Mortensen was one of the first to speak with police after they responded to 1122 King Road in Moscow on Nov. 13, 2022.
Read Dylan Mortensen's affidavit:
She also saw a masked man in her home after the 4 a.m. murders and texted another surviving roommate about it — but didn't call 911.
Police weren't called until around noon, after Mortensen and the other survivor, Bethany Funke, contacted friends who came to the house. One of them saw the remains of their roommate, Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, also 20.
Responding officers also found 21-year-olds Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves dead on the top floor.
"Along with losing four of my friends and experiencing something incredibly traumatic, I have spent nearly four years dealing with public attention, harassment, threats, and constant speculation about my involvement in what happened," Mortensen wrote. "People who have never met me have formed opinions about my character, questioned my actions, and accused me of things I had absolutely nothing to do with."
Read her mother's affidavit:
Later, she wrote, "It is difficult to feel completely comfortable in public when I am constantly considering whether someone knows who I am and what they might believe about me."
What protection she has left, according to her lawyer, is the blur over her face in redacted police video and photographs, and releasing an unblurred version would be an "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."
Mortensen's attorney, Robyn McPherson, filed a motion to intervene last week after Marshall agreed to the release of previously held records from an independent media company, EWU Media LLC. She is also asking the judge to reconsider the Oct. 20 order and issue a stay until the petition and appeals are resolved.
The motion to reconsider asks Marshall to require Moscow authorities to identify the withheld records, submit them for a private "in-camera" judicial review and prepare a detailed index, arguing that her client can't fully argue for her right to privacy without knowing what the records contain.
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
She said Moscow's city attorney told her that the documents were expected to include interviews, photographs and videos of Mortensen.
EWU filed a public records request on Aug. 28, 2025, which was at least partially denied. The entity then asked the court to compel the city to disclose them, and Marshall agreed to do so last month.
Read the motion to reconsider:
In another court filing, McPherson wrote that she filed the motion days after learning that Moscow's city attorney did not plan to challenge the decision.
SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS
"D.M. seeks reconsideration of the October 20 order only on the issue of whether disclosure of the records withheld by the City [of Moscow] would constitute 'an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," McPherson wrote.

She also argued that city lawyers failed to provide the files in question to the judge before her decision came down.
McPherson is asking for her client to join the case to pursue a stay on the release of additional images and reconsideration of Marshall's order. She argued neither Moscow officials nor other intervenors — the families of Chapin and Madison Mogen — have been aligned with her specific privacy interest.
Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 and then tried to take back his plea earlier this year. The case is still playing out in front of a different judge.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
Marshall, who was the original magistrate judge overseeing Kohberger's case before his arraignment in May 2023, granted the additional release of public records on Oct. 20.
A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Nov. 12.
Kohberger is due to return to court for a hearing on his petition for post-conviction relief on Dec. 10.
Federal judge orders DOJ to ensure poll monitors are not law enforcement officials
A federal judge denied the NAACP’s request to block the Justice Department from sending election monitors to polling places, but ordered the department to ensure they are not sworn law enforcement officers and cannot make arrests.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, in an order Monday night, said the DOJ must also ensure its monitors are unarmed, out of uniform and do not display insignia identifying them as federal employees. The order applies to the department’s poll monitoring program for Election Day, Nov. 3.
BIDEN-APPOINTED JUDGE BLOCKS VOTER-FRAUD PROBES IN BATTLEGROUND STATES JUST DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS
"The Court is therefore unpersuaded by the plaintiffs' assertion that a person who is simply ‘project[ing a] command[ing] presence, scan[ning] crowds, and more’ – without any outward indications of law enforcement authority – would generate objectively reasonable fear in a voter," according to Walton, who was nominated to the Washington, D.C., court by former President George W. Bush. "Thus, the Court finds that in conjunction with the defendants’ public statements regarding voter fraud and election integrity, the deployment of these individuals as election monitors would not place the average voter 'in reasonable fear of harassment and interference with their right to vote.'"
The NAACP had sought a temporary restraining order barring the DOJ from deploying personnel from agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Prisons. The group argued their presence could intimidate voters and violate the Voting Rights Act.
Walton denied the motion without prejudice, finding that the current record did not show the NAACP was likely to succeed on its claim. He said the DOJ’s representations at a hearing addressed his concerns: the monitors would be administrative or clerical employees, not sworn officers, and would not carry firearms.
TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE SLAMS DOOR ON DOJ AS COURT LOSSES PILE UP DAYS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
"The Court will order that the defendants comply with their counsel’s concession that they will take action to ensure that the monitors participating in the DOJ’s Poll Monitoring Program are indeed administrative or clerical personnel and not law enforcement officials, will not be in uniform or display any other insignia indicating their affiliation with a federal agency, will not be armed with a firearm, and will not have the power to effectuate arrests," Walton wrote.
Walton also ordered monitors not to interfere with voters or election officials, to follow state and local rules, and to avoid speaking with voters inside polling places. They may speak with voters outside only after they have cast a ballot. Monitors must introduce themselves to election officials and carry federal credentials in case they are asked to verify their employment.
Walton ordered the DOJ to file a status report by 7 a.m. ET on Tuesday explaining how it confirmed that none of the monitors would be law enforcement officials with arrest powers.
The ruling followed allegations that the DOJ planned to send more than 1,000 personnel, including law enforcement agents and investigators, to polling locations. The department’s attorneys told the court that sworn agents and officers would be excluded from the program.
