He has 32,
nine more than any teammate. He typically draws the task of guarding an explosive opposing guard. “He’s our best onball defender, there’s no question,” Boynton said. “I’ve said that repeatedly. He’s one of the best onball defenders I’ve ever coached.” The Cowboys beat No. 15 TCU without Anderson in their last game. “I think the guys handed it pretty well on Saturday,” Boynton said. “I look forward to seeing who else continues to rise to that challenge.”
Senior guard Caleb Asberry started in Anderson’s spot and played well. Asberry will combine with other guards such as John-Michael Wright, Bryce Thompson and Chris Harris Jr. to fill the role. “We don’t have anyone like Avery,” Boynton said. “No one is as dynamic with the ball. No one has the fast-twitch athleticism that he has. But they all have different skills they bring to the able that can be beneficial.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
Grammys recap: who made the best music in 2022?
On Monday afternoon, OSU coach John Smith held his weekly radio show at Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, where he recapped his team’s backto-back top-ranked wins and touched on upcoming duals against South Dakota State and Stanford. The No. 11-ranked Cowboys have just four duals remaining in the regular season prior to postseason play. Here’s a recap of some of the main point from Smith’s radio show. Opening statement: “The better team we faced (this weekend) is obviously Missouri. I think Missouri is probably actually the No. 3 or No. 4 team in the country right now. If you’re just looking at their team and it’s the first time they’ve really had their team back as a whole. They went down there to Norman and (faced OU), and won 33-3. Solid team. This team, probably along with Iowa State are the two teams to beat if you’re going to win the Big 12.” On starting both duals at 141 pounds: “When you look at the Michigan match, it was just about trying to put ourselves in a better position to win and take a lead (early) because we knew that we had a chance to win four of the first bouts. We ended up winning three of those four, obviously with Kaden (Gfeller) dropping a
match.” On Carter Young: “Carter goes out in the Michigan match, gets up 9-2, and then he gets rolled out. He only wrestled five minutes, you know, I mean (Pat Nolan) can’t ride. I mean, I’ve seen Carter struggle on bottom, yes, but this guy can’t ride you. He’s like, ‘I don’t have to get out’. (Sunday) he had a great match. He outscrambled his opponent in the second period, after a scoreless first period. Then after he scrambled, he rode him out and picked up a riding time point. Then he gives up a cheap takedown and I’m like, ‘why did you do that’.” “Wrestling seven minutes is the key. I mean, he had a good outing. He’s just still not finishing. You’ve given up a period. You’ve given up a takedown. He’s still giving up things and winning against quality people.” On Dustin Plott’s loss to Peyton Mocco: “He didn’t do anything. He just got kind of emotional a little bit. We’ve seen it before. But he needs to kind of just recognize that this sport really isn’t that hard. So, hopefully he can grow from an experience like that. He got moved around, and when I see him getting moved around real easy, like, somebody cuffs him and he stumbles maybe and can’t balance himself. Then I kind f know, he’s not into this thing.” “I can’t even remember a match really, where he didn’t get a takedown. Guys are going to make adjustments, though, because they’ve seen him hit 5,000 single-leg (takedowns).” See Smith on page 2

On Sunday night, the 2023 Grammys held some surprises, yet the ceremony recognized and awarded the biggest names in the music industry. The expected winners did win in the biggest categories and the biggest artist of the decade broke a new record. Beyonce is the artist with the most Grammys, with 32, after earning four awards from the Recording Academy in the 2023 proceedings. “I’m trying not to be too emotional and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said, after breaking the record a little more than two hours into the main telecast. “I want to thank God for protecting me. … I’d like to thank my uncle Johnny, who’s not here, but he’s here in spirit.” She thanked her parents, husband and three children before concluding, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre.”
Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter At Sunday night’s 65th Grammy Awards, Beyoncé took four prizes to break the record previously held by the late classical conductor Georg Solti and bring her total career win count to 32.
Beyonce, however, did not take home the award for album of the year. A fan of Harry Styles announced his victory followed by an emotional speech where Styles said winning a Grammy does not happen to people like him. Beyonce fans criticized Harry Styles’s speech saying he is a white man from England who is extreme-
ly privileged. Despite Beyoncé’s 32 Grammy wins – the most of any artist in history –, many are troubled by the fact she has yet to win album of the year and that she’s lost to white musicians every time she has been nominated. See Grammys on page 8
