No. 13 Duke 73, No. 9 Kansas St. 62
James Madison’s backcourt played great, and center Elijah Hutchins-Everett provided a big game for the Dukes, who held off Jacksonville State to take third place in the inaugural Boardwalk Battle in Daytona Beach, Fla., with a 71-65 victory Saturday. Xavier Brown scored 18 points to lead JMU (4-3), but had plenty of help. Mark Freeman added 16 points and Bryce Lindsay had 11 off the bench, reaching double figures in every game of the tournament. Elijah Hutchins-Everett had 17 points and six rebounds for the Dukes. “We needed that,” JMU coach Preston Spradlin said in a postgame radio interview. “To know it was going to be a tough, gritty win and we needed to know we were capable of doing that. It took everybody getting in there and doing that.” Jaron Pierre Jr. had a game-high 24 to lead Jacksonville State. Brown missed his first two shots, but then got hot, hitting three 3-pointers in the first seven and a half minutes to give JMU a 13-10 lead. The Dukes also started to get the big man Hutchins-Everett into the offensive flow. By halftime, Hutchins-Everett had put up eight points and grabbed five rebounds. Meanwhile, Freeman was also cooking in the backcourt late in the half and JMU went to the break with a 40-29 lead behind 24 combined points from Brown and Freeman. Jacksonville State started fast in the second half, quickly cutting the JMU lead to 45-40, before both teams went on extended scoring droughts. AJ Smith hit a pair of free throws to put JMU back up seven. The Dukes went more than five minutes without a field goal, but when Lindsay finally connected from deep, it gave JMU a 52-40 lead with 12 minutes to go. JMU held Wake Forest transfer Joa Ituka without a field goal attempt for the first 32 minutes, but the veteran guard finally hit a driving shot and drew a foul to make it a 56-49 JMU lead with eight minutes to go. A dunk by Smith gave JMU a ten-point lead again with less than two minutes to go and the Dukes were able to get out of Daytona with another victory. The Dukes scored 23 points off turnovers and gave it away just eight times themselves. JMU also held Jacksonville State to six offensive rebounds. “We limited ourselves to eight turnovers and 15 assists,” Spradlin said. “We got the ball where it needed to go.” After JMU opened the tournament with a blowout over Illinois-Chicago, the Dukes found themselves relegated to the third place game after a comeback against UC San Diego fell short on Friday. The Tritons led by 12 in the second half before JMU, behind 17 points from Bryce Lindsay, came back to tie it a few times. The Dukes were within two points with 40 seconds to go, but couldn’t come up with crucial stops on the way to a 73-67 loss. Xavier Brown added 13 points and four assists without a turnover, but JMU struggled to find consistent offense. Eddie Ricks III, getting his first start as a Duke, added nine points. Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones scored 21 points to lead UC San Diego.
Scandar Copti ’s “ Happy Holidays ” won top honors at the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday, capping an emotional and politically resonant ceremony while adding Marrakech’s Étoile d’Or to a list of accolades that also includes best screenplay from Venice’s Orizzonti and best in show from the Thessaloniki Film Festival. The acclaimed title also claimed a shared best actress prize for leads Manar Shehab and Wafaa Aoun. Split into four chapters, the Palestinian film follows an ensemble of characters – Arab and Jewish alike – living in contemporary Haifa. Family secrets and domestic tensions underscore scenes from everyday life as the film traces out an expansive social circle with a novelistic attention to cultural and interpersonal dynamics. This year’s jury – led by Luca Guadagnino alongside Andrew Garfield, Jacob Elordi, Virginie Efira, Patricia Arquette, Zoya Akhtar, Ali Abbasi, Nadia Kounda and Santiago Mitre – together awarded the winning title with a unanimous vote. As she accepted the award on behalf of her filmmaking partner, screenwriter Mona Copti cast her joy for the accolades against the harsher reality of the ongoing war in Gaza. “How did we get here,” she asked. “How did dehumanization become normalized? How have killing, destruction, and martyrdom become almost acceptable? How did we lose our moral compass and reach this point of ethical collapse?” “We hope this film offers some answers to these questions by shedding light on the repercussions of indoctrination in societies and its impact on individual behavior—particularly in communities where women remain constrained by customs and traditions that deny them personal freedom above all else. Our struggle is interconnected, and true liberation cannot be achieved in isolation. None of us is truly free until all of us are.” Indeed, nearly all the night’s speeches carried a political charge. As director Silvina Schnicer accepted the jury prize for her film “The Cottage” – an honor the film shared with Mo Harawe’s “The Village Next to Paradise” – the Argentine auteur decried the heavy hand of her country’s Javier Milei government, specifically when it comes to cutting cinema funding. Finally, Polish drama “Under the Volcano” was the night’s other big winner, claiming the director prize for filmmaker Damian Kocur and the best actor trophy for star Roman Lutskyi. In another riveting speech — this time delivered via video — the actor dedicated his award to the armed forces of Ukraine. For its 21st edition, the Marrakech Film Festival exceeded 40,000 attendees, marking a 5000-admission increase from the previous year’s record, with young adults and students from Moroccan film schools in large parts accounting for the surge. Alongside its wider outreach programs, Marrakech also introduced an expanded festival hub that spread out over a half-mile, incorporating new venues while fostering a more vibrant and encompassing atmosphere. Awards season hopefuls like Walter Salles’ “I’m Still Here” and Gints Zilbalodis’ “Flow” screened for rapturous crowds, while Jean-Claude Barny’s political biopic “Fanon” made its world premiere – bolstering the festival’s reputation as a continental showcase for African cinema. Pursuant to those goals, the festival will double down on its Atlas Distribution Award – a recent initiative meant to fuel wider domestic and international distribution for the Moroccan, Arab and Pan-African films presented in Marrakech. 22 titles from this year’s selection will be eligible for Atlas support, including the night’s big winner. “We realized that these projects, outside of their time in festivals, were often not distributed in the Arab world or in Africa,” says festival coordinator Ali Hajji. “To ensure the viability and longevity — both culturally and economically — we saw the need to create a distribution system to better reach those audiences. Quite simply, we want Arab and African audiences to see these films.”None
