Cowboys alter spring game format due to depth concerns Ivan White Staff Reporter This year’s spring game will look different for OSU, but the Cowboys still plan to put on a show for the fans.

To cap off the spring, the team plans to hold another full practice Saturday for fans in place of a traditional spring game.

Saturday’s practice will include individual workouts, 7 on 7 drills and a team thud period consisting of the offense and defense formatted like a typical spring game.

This year’s spring finale being different is attributed to depth concerns along the offensive line.

“We don’t have enough big guys up front to split up and have a game,” coach Mike Gundy said. “I just wish we had 12 linemen, and then we could go six on each side and play a game, but we just don’t have that luxury at this time to do that.”

As the Cowboys wrap up spring practice over the next few days, Gundy feels good about the team’s progression throughout the last few weeks.

“They’re all getting good reps, the young guys are getting quality work,” Gundy said. “They’re practicing hard. I feel good about our concepts, our schemes. I feel good about our coaches, feel good about the adjustments with coach (Derek) Mason. Players are getting to know those guys, so we’ve had a really good spring.”

Even with the offensive line woes, the Cowboys still look forward to showing out for the fans at Boone Pickens Stadium.

“We’re down a couple of numbers in certain areas, but I think it’s gonna be fun with fans coming out and stuff like that,” said sophomore defensive end Collin Oliver.

While the defensive line may not get to do as much as normal at the spring finale, Oliver, along with senior Tyler Lacy, still cherish the opportunity to go out and compete in front of everybody.

“I feel like the team is ready for the finale,” Lacy said. “I mean, everybody is excited to be out here again, you know.

I feel like it should be exciting just because the fans come in and people’s parents, so I feel like everybody’s excited about that.”

Cowgirls claims overall national title, first in program history Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Another trophy will enter the gallery of Heritage Hall.

For the first time in its history, Oklahoma State’s equestrian team won the overall national championship, defeating Texas A&M 11-9 on Saturday.

The NCEA National Championship kicked off with reining, where OSU fell behind 2-3, but the Cowgirls tied the score, 5-5, with a 3-2 victory in flat.

Junior JoJo Roberson won her second event of the day in horsemanship, defeating Hanna Olaussen 226.5-221, as the Cowgirls took the lead heading into the final event: fences.

The Cowgirls clinched the national championship in the final contest of fencing when senior All-American Sydnie Ziegler toppled Texas A&M’s Kaitlyn Lovingfoss 250.5-249.

In his 23 years at the helm, coach Larry Sanchez led OSU to eight conference championships and four western national championships, but this is the first overall win for Sanchez and the Cowgirls.

“Honestly, I could not be more proud of this group of girls,” Sanchez said. “They left everything on the line, trusted the process, and did more than we ever expected them to do.

They deserve every bit of this.”

Former OSU guard Smart wins NBA Defensive Player of the Year Former Oklahoma State basketball player Marcus Smart scored 26 points for the Celtics in their win against the Thunder.

Daniel Allen Staff Reporter Marcus Smart, a former OSU and current Boston Celtics’ point guard, reeled in the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award, becoming the

first guard to win the award since Gary Payton in the 1995-96 season.

Smart finished the season ranked seventh overall in the league in steals per game (1.68), 10th in deflections (106), and charges drawn (16).

Smart played at OSU for two years, from 2012-14 and 2013-14, and he assisted in leading the Cowboys to consecutive NCAA tournament berths.

During his tenure at OSU, he averaged 16.6 points per game along with 5.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

Smart declared for the NBA draft following the conclusion of the 2013-14 season, being drafted by the Celtics with the sixth overall pick, becoming the first OSU basketball player picked in the first round

since James Anderson back in 2010.

“Definitely want to thank you guys, man, my coaching staff, my teammates,” said Smart said in a video posted by Boston’s social media. “It’s not easy playing in this league full of guys like Jayson (Tatum) and Jaylen (Brown), who score the ball the way they do, and getting the recognition on that defensive end trying to guard these guys every night. This is eight years, man, just trying to do what I do, you guys have allowed me to do that.”

Inside the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia’s very last-minute Coachella collab Mikael Wood Los Angeles Times The sofas scattered around the backstage artists’ compound at Coachella were still wrapped in plastic when the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia gathered earlier this week to rehearse for the joint headlining performance that will close the first half of the annual desert mega-festival on Sunday night.

“Just like grandma’s house,” said Mike Dean, the veteran hip-hop producer, as he munched from a minibag of Doritos. Dean, who’s playing guitars and keyboards in the show, was talking gear with Steve Angello and Axwell of Swedish House Mafia, the Stockholm-based dance-music trio; the Weeknd, who paused production on an upcoming HBO series to perform at Coachella after Kanye West abruptly pulled out, was chatting about TV with a member of his team.

(He hasn’t had time to watch much lately, though he recently caught the 2018 docuseries “Wild Wild Country.”)

A stagehand popped in to usher the crew onto Coachella’s enormous main stage, where a scrubbing disco groove boomed across the sprawling polo field — empty for now but soon to be filled with tens of thousands of music fans elated to be back in the desert for the first time since 2019.

Angello pointed up: “We have nine lasers up there,” he said, “and we have nine lasers up there.” Somebody handed the Weeknd a microphone, and suddenly his high, pleading voice was floating out into the dusk.

“Can we start this one again?” he asked after a minute or two. Silence. Then: Thump-thump-thumpthump.

For Swedish House Mafia — which last played Coachella in 2012, not long before the group broke up — Sunday’s performance with the Weeknd is a splashy way to relaunch a much-hyped reunion that had barely

gotten started when the pandemic stalled the trio’s comeback plans more than two years ago. On Friday, the group released a new album, “Paradise Again,” that stakes out a future beyond the kind of fist-pumping EDM with which Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso (who was late arriving from Sweden for rehearsals) made their names.

In a text message, the Weeknd — who worked with the group on his latest LP, “Dawn FM,” and who appears on “Paradise Again” in the sci-fi-soulful “Moth to a Flame” — called Swedish House Mafia “the biggest DJs in the world” and said he was “ecstatic” to “have them as bandmates for this once-in-a-lifetime moment of collaboration.”

For the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, scheduled to run Friday to Sunday at Indio’s Empire Polo Club, before repeating April 22-24 with the same bill, the mash-up represents an elegant solution to the problem created when West bailed on the closely watched event with less than two weeks until showtime.

Neither the rapper nor Coachella has officially explained his cancellation, though it follows West’s being disinvited from performing at this month’s Grammy Awards because of threatening messages he posted online. (Other top artists set to appear at Coachella, which is sold out, include Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Lil Baby, Phoebe Bridgers, Megan Thee Stallion and Karol G.) Swedish House Mafia was already booked to take part in the festival when the coveted Sunday-night slot opened up; indeed, it was the first act announced for this year’s edition, which comes after the 2020 and 2021 shows were both called off due to COVID-19. The original plan was for the group to perform directly after Styles’ headlining set on Friday, Angello said in an interview before this week’s run-through. Seated outside at a ritzy Palm Springs hotel, he and Axwell vaped discreetly as they talked; at one

point, Angello tucked a little pouch of snus under his top lip. “Abel was always coming too,” albeit in a smaller role, Angello said, using the Weeknd’s given name.

Wassim Slaiby, who manages both acts as well as Doja Cat, said the idea to move the performance to Sunday and to expand it to headlining dimensions — on the Coachella poster it’s billed as Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd — came together quickly in the wake of West’s withdrawal.

“Paul Tollett and I spoke,” he said, referring to the president of L.A.based Goldenvoice, which puts on the festival. “He’s a good friend. I’ve been going to Coachella for 10 years-plus.

Never miss it. So this was just kind of natural.”

Asked to respond to a report in the New York Post that he’d had to push Tollett to pay the Weeknd what Tollett planned to pay West — $8 million plus a $500,000 production fee, according to the Post — Slaiby, who goes by Sal, scoffed. “I don’t even know where that story started from,” he said. He similarly brushed off a question about negotiating Coach

ella’s radius clause, which prohibits artists booked for the festival from playing other gigs within a certain distance from Southern California for a certain amount of time. “Our focus was just on giving the fans a special show,” Slaiby said, adding that the performance will be unique to Coachella and not a version of the touring production the Weeknd will bring to Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium in September.

Everyone involved wanted to keep details about the gig under wraps; Coachella, with a minimum ticket price of $449, prizes its youhave-to-be-there quality, even though the festival is livestreamed these days on YouTube. But Axwell allowed that the show will feature Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd both separately and together. And Angello said they’re going bigger in terms of stagecraft than when they were set to play Friday. “There were limitations before because Harry’s stuff was gonna be in there,” he said. Now, those 18 lasers are just the beginning.

Coachella Continued from Page 4 Spectacle was perhaps Swedish House Mafia’s defining mode during the group’s first go-round, when it helped take club music into arenas and stadiums around the globe. “We were early [in] trying to outdo ourselves with production,” said Axwell, who formed the trio with the other two in 2008 after each had established himself as a solo DJ. “We always figured, you’re never gonna stand onstage and say, ‘Oh, I’m glad we saved money by not doing those pyro hits.’”

Music has changed dramatically in the decade since the group scored a Top 10 pop hit with the soaring “Don’t You Worry Child”; EDM, which in the early 2010s filled the Hot 100 with high-gloss bangers by David Guetta, Calvin Harris, LMFAO and others, eventually gave way to darker, weirder sounds. Yet demand for Swedish House Mafia remains strong: This summer, the group is touring Europe and North America, and they’re still playing arenas and stadiums even as many of their peers have downsized.

To release “Paradise Again,” Slaiby brokered a deal with Republic Records, one of pop’s most effective hitmaking machines. (In addition to the Weeknd, whose “Blinding Lights” spent a record 90 weeks on Billboard’s singles chart, the label is home to Drake, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and Post Malone.) But Angello says he’s not interested in chasing what’s happening, for instance, on L.A.’s KIIS-FM, which he says he doesn’t listen to.

“We don’t have a hit record on the radio right now, but we’re headlining Coachella,” he said.

“There’s so many artists that are doing more in the world than just having a Top 40 record. Look at Kanye and the ‘Donda’ album. Look at Tyler, the Creator. Look at Kendrick Lamar. A chart hit compared to cultural impact — they’re completely different things.

“I talked to Paul [Tollett] yesterday, and he was like, ‘I booked you guys for the experience,’” Angello continued. “I’d rather be remembered for that than ‘for 2022 — they had a hit record.’ Who gives a f—?”

He and Axwell say they modeled “Paradise Again” on the kind of immersive albums they grew up with — LPs by Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder and Gang Starr. (Daft Punk’s 2001 “Discovery” was a specific dance-music touchstone.)

Beyond “Moth to a Flame,” which has more than 275 million streams on Spotify, the 17-track set features collaborations with Ty Dolla Sign, 070 Shake, Mapei, ASAP Rocky and Sting, who sings a few lines of the Police’s indelible “Roxanne” over a jackhammering beat in “Redlight.”

“We just stole the sample off YouTube, as a placeholder,” Axwell said of the song’s creation.

“We thought it was cool but that we’d never be able to clear it. But then Sal said, ‘Hey, let’s try.’ Sent Sting the track and he said, ‘Let’s do it — I’ll even resing the vocal for you.’ And we slaughtered his

song!”

The group recorded ASAP Rocky’s vocals for “Frankenstein” one day before the rapper began serving a monthlong jail sentence in Sweden related to a street fight that was caught on tape in 2019. “It was the elephant in the room,” Angello said. “But listen, he took it like a champ, and we ended up going back and forth on the track after he got out.”

“It would be easy to think he would have a grudge against anything Swedish,” Axwell said.

“But no.”

Asked whom they’d like to collaborate with in the future, Axwell mentioned Willow Smith (“Great voice”) while Angello singled out FKA twigs (“I love her sonics”). The key to a fruitful partnership,

they said, is finding someone willing to explore new ground, “so we’re both doing something we’re not used to,” Angello said.

That’s why Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd works, they added. “It’s actually really hard to get people out of their comfort zone,” Angello said. “They say they want to in interviews, but it’s not the case. Abel, Pharrell — there’s only a couple of guys that really push boundaries.”

2 killed, many injured in shooting at Airbnb party in Pittsburgh, police say Julian Routh, Mick Stinelli, Ed Blazina and Alex McCann Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PITTSBURGH — Two people were killed and several more were injured in a shooting at a home in Pittsburgh’s East Allegheny neighborhood early Sunday in what the mayor called a “senseless loss of life.”

Up to 200 people — many of them underage — were attending a large party at an Airbnb rental property near the intersection of Suismon Street and Madison Avenue on the North Side when dozens of shots rang out around 12:30 a.m., officials said.

Two juvenile males were killed, and eight other people were wounded by the gunfire. Police Chief Scott Schubert said five other people suffered nongunshot-related injuries while fleeing the scene.

Officials said no one had been detained, and there were no suspects as of Sunday afternoon. The motive behind the shooting also was not clear.

Police believe there were multiple shooters, Schubert said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

“We’re not going to sleep until we get who did this,” Schubert said. “This shouldn’t have happened.

We’re sick about it. We’re going to do everything we can to get those responsible for it.”

Schubert said the ShotSpotter monitoring system registered more than 90 rounds fired. Public safety officials had initially said more than 50 shots were fired. Shell casings from around the area indicated there were multiple firearms used during the melee.

Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman Cara Cruz said earlier Sunday that some of the victims suffered broken bones and cuts as they jumped out of windows of the home while fleeing the gunfire.

Some gunshot victims were transported to hospitals by Pittsburgh EMS and police, and others arrived at hospitals within and outside city limits via private transportation, Cruz said.

Stephanie Waite, a spokeswoman for Allegheny Health Network, said the system treated seven patients from the incident at Allegheny General Hospital on the North Side and one at Jefferson Hospital in Jefferson Hills. The patients were treated for gunshot wounds and other injuries, but Waite said the hospital wouldn’t provide more details — such as ages, exact injuries or the condition of the patients — citing

away! e d i H inal g i r eO h t out k ec h C

privacy laws and the ongoing police investigation.

A UPMC spokeswoman said two patients from the incident were being treated at the health care system’s hospitals but wouldn’t say where they were treated or what kind of injuries they had.

In a statement Sunday afternoon, Mayor Ed Gainey said the city is “using all available resources” to investigate the shooting.

He said some community members have come forward with information for police and urged anyone else who knows anything about it to contact the Major Crimes office at 412-323-7161.

“At least 10 gunshot victims, two lives lost, and hundreds of lives forever changed, because we have yet to pass meaningful legislation to lessen the amount of guns in our streets or provide the muchneeded resources to communities desperately need,” the mayor said. “The time is now for us to move with a sense of urgency to bring justice to the victims and peace to our city.”

Gainey noted Sunday’s mass shooting comes on the heels of a series of shootings across the city in recent weeks.

“We have been working on our approach to address gun violence in our city over the past several weeks,” he added. “Now we will be calling a meeting with public safety and key community leaders to introduce our All In Citywide approach to public safety to get their feedback so we can build a path forward together.

“It is critical that we come together now to help reduce the violence currently happening while we begin to do the long-term work of ending the culture of violence that is enabling the senseless loss of life we are experiencing today. We must say no more and never again.”

City Councilman Bobby Wilson, who represents the area where the incident occurred, said in a statement that he is working with the mayor’s office and police to investigate the incident.

“The mass shooting that occurred last night at an Airbnb party in East Deutschtown does not reflect that neighborhood at all. ... For now, my thoughts go out to the loved ones of all the victims of this shooting,” Wilson said.

In a tweet Sunday morning, U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., called the shooting “just awful.”

At the scene Sunday morning, a broken window on the second story of the home was visible, with shards of broken glass covering the street below.

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?

There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.”

The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed.

(Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)

Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.”

We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

small parking lot meets Turtle Way, another broken window could be seen — with more glass below on the concrete.

Around 9 a.m., a police crime scene unit returned to the scene and scanned the property.

A neighbor who lives nearby on Suismon Street described the gathering as “chaos,” with cars flooding the street around 11 p.m. and partygoers forming a line outside the apartment as they waited to get in.

“It was like a club,” said Mitchell Wilston, 30.

“There was a line of people to get in (stretching) to the corner here.”

Wilston said police were at the scene prior to the shooting, but the party continued, despite their presence.

“It was so clearly underage kids,” he said.

“These kids looked like they were 14.”

He said he had seen the apartment rented for smaller, more intimate parties before, but he said that was normally fine.

Courtesy of Tribune News Service “Moon Knight” episode three continues to show an action-filled adventure film from Disney+.

‘Moon Knight’ Episode 3 review Connor Gray Staff Reporter With the release of episode three of “Moon Knight” we have now reached the halfway point of season one. I would consider the first half of the season to be an overall success, but episode three is the weakest so far and personally my least favorite.

With that being said, I was far from hating it.

Episode three, “The Friendly Type,” is certainly the most exposition filled segment of the show that we have seen thus far and manages to do a great job of world-building for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and for the realm of Moon Knight in general. We also are given what is our first official connection to the rest of the MCU, with the mention of Madripoor, a fictional country which appeared in 2021’s “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.”

Hollywood has had a problem with how Egypt is represented in both film and TV. “Moon Knight” has done a superb job with episode three, showing Egypt as an actual modern civilization as opposed

to a barren wasteland of only sand with a yellow tinted filter over it.

That brings me to my next point, yet again, this episode is visually stunning and gives us one of my favorite visual sequences in both the MCU and in general. While most of the episode was dialogue and world-building based, that does not mean it was completely without action.

There is an action sequence that takes place about 75% of the way through the episode that is on a relatively grand scale and has choreography that is done well. The camera work is also not too chopped up to where you cannot tell what is taking place in the fight, but I must admit that I personally was not as big on the fight as other viewers appear to have been.

The last 20 or so minutes of the episode really stole the show for me and have left me curious and excited as to where next week will take us. Oscar Isaac once again acts his heart out as his multiple different characters and continues to strengthen his case for a possible Emmy down the line.

My final complaint that is beginning to feel

more prevalent after this week’s episode is that “Moon Knight” does not necessarily feel episodic and rather feels as if I am watching 1/6 of a movie each week. This is not the first time Disney+ shows have had this issue as it was also the case with “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier,” but with that being said I do not think it is necessarily a horrendous problem and much more of a nitpick.

Overall, episode three of “Moon Knight,” while not being my favorite and most enjoyable, is a necessary addition to the series and a compliment to the universe that it is helping to build. “Moon Knight” as a whole continues to impress me and excites me for what more is to come from the series and Marvel in general.

Watch “Moon Knight” every Wednesday as it premieres weekly on Disney +.
