University of Sports 2024 is set to be a special year. The student team is celebrating its 100th anniversary and has the opportunity to become two-time champions of Peruvian football. After the departure of Jorge Fossati, the “U” is now commanded by the Argentine coach Fabian Bustos, which was officially announced at a press conference a week ago. As part of the preseason, the Cream team will play a few games before the so-called Cream Night.

In the last few hours it has been announced that the rival for the presentation of the meringues will be Coquimbo Unidos from Chile. In addition, last Friday, January 5, the student group announced that singer Diego Torres and the Peruvian group Hermanos Yaipén will perform a concert at Noche Crema as part of the show.

When they found out about the rival and the artists who will be present at Noche Crema 2024, Universitario's fans expressed some anger on social networks, as they considered that the event was disorganized.

What did Jean Ferrari say about Universitario's 2024 preseason?

Amid this criticism, the club's interim administrator commented, Jean Ferrari, took to his social media to send a message about the preseason games and Cream Night. The manager assured that the concert is for those who “want to follow her,” explaining that this will be the beginning of a great year for the institution.

“First we go to the provinces, then abroad and end with a Cream Night where we introduce the champion, then with a contribution (concert) for those who want to follow it. This is how we start our 100th anniversary, this will be it.” Be a great cream start. And try it! 'U'!” he wrote on his official X account, formerly Twitter.

Things get really quick for Auburn in early January as SEC play begins with as tough a test as it gets. And No. 25 Auburn went into Bud Walton Arena and completely silenced the raucous Arkansas crowd as it defeated the Razorbacks 83-51.

Head coach Bruce Pearl's team (12-2, 1-0 SEC) has now won seven games in a row.

This was the largest win by a visitor in Bud Walton Arena history.

This was as big of a statement win as Auburn has had in its young season. Winning at Bud Walton Arena is already difficult. Did Arkansas fans call for exits with more than four minutes left? That doesn't happen often, especially after Arkansas beat No. 14 Duke at the Razorbacks' home stadium earlier this season.

Auburn may have as much momentum as any team in the SEC right now. Here are three takeaways from the win.

Chad and Baker and also Mazara

It's hard to say that Chad Baker-Mazara has never played an SEC game. No, really, he didn't. Baker-Mazara transferred to Auburn in the offseason from Northwest Florida State College – a junior college.

And as Auburn's starters went 4-for-17 overall in the first half, it was Baker-Mazara who gave Auburn the spark in the first half.

Overall, the Tigers didn't shoot well early in the game. But with 14 first-half points from Baker-Mazara, Auburn was able to build a seven-point halftime lead and generally calm the boisterous crowd at Bud Walton Arena.

Baker-Mazara and KD Johnson have been Auburn's go-to guys when it needs a spark, especially this week with Baker-Mazara having the same impact in the second half against Penn on Tuesday. To do this again for Auburn in an environment like the one in Fayetteville is a testament to the energy he brings to this team.

Baker-Mazara led Auburn with 16 total points.

When Auburn needed its stars, Johni Broome showed up

Johni Broome didn't score in the first half. And while Baker-Mazara made up for it, it was hard to imagine Auburn winning without Broome at Bud Walton Arena.

On Thursday, Pearl said Auburn wouldn't win many games in the SEC without its best players. Because as deep as Auburn is, and it is pretty deep, stars have to be stars in games like this.

Broome was a star in the second half.

Broome scored a total of 14 points on 7-9 shooting in the second half. He added another five rebounds.

On both ends, Broome provided one of Auburn's best defensive performances in the second half of the season. Auburn stressed the importance of improving its defense in the second half. It's more difficult, Pearl said, because Auburn is farther from its bench.

And in one of the loudest arenas in the SEC, Auburn held Arkansas to 21 points.

Auburn's trip to Appalachian State was actually worth it

Auburn came under a lot of pressure after its loss at Appalachian State. People wondered why Auburn would bother playing this game since it looked like Auburn had far more to lose than it could gain.

And Auburn lost. Despite only having one Quad 2 loss at this point in the year, Appalachian State is clearly the relative blot on Auburn's NCAA Tournament resume.

But Auburn won a lot more than it seemed.

Pearl knows his team was unsettled by the crowd at Appalachian State. Although there is a great atmosphere in Boone, North Carolina, there are few that beat the atmosphere at Bud Walton Arena.

The difference is that Auburn is now entering a very difficult road game with that experience already in hand. This experience certainly helped Auburn a lot.

This team mastered one of the best SEC atmospheres with ease. The defense in the second half was as good as it has been all season.

That's why Auburn went to App State.

Piero Quispe revealed why he chose Pumas

After completing his first training sessions at the university facility, Piero Quispe, midfielder for the Peruvian team, was very excited about his first experience in Mexican football.

“Coming to a big club like Pumas is a nice opportunity.” “I am a player who likes to have the ball, give filtered passes to my teammates, who supports me because they have always supported me and who encourages me when things are going badly,” he told club networks.

Piero Quispe played his first game for the Pumas

The 22-year-old attacker won his first minutes with the Pumas in the pre-season friendly against Toluca. The game ended 1:1.

The Czechs staged a comeback in the bronze medal game at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, defeating Finland 8-5 with several late goals in Gothenburg on Friday.

Canada's quarterfinal scorers scored six goals in a row starting midway through the game, with the final four coming within 50 seconds of the third period.

Compared to the Maple Leaf, the Czechs put their opponents to sleep in the final minutes and secured a 5-5 draw with 1:56 left. Tomas Hamara's winning goal quickly followed after a face-off was won in opposing territory. Finland then, like their opponents a few moments before, withdrew their goalkeeper, but to no avail.

Ondrej Becher scored a hat trick in an empty net and finished the game with five points. Buffalo Sabers prospect Jiri Kulich also did well with four points.

The Czech Republic's celebration began with time remaining, but a breaststroke resulted in the referee blowing his whistle with one second left. The players were sent to the dungeon, then the puck was finally dropped to be formed.

This is the second year in a row that Finland has been excluded from the podium. In 2023, Sweden ended their adventure in the quarterfinals.
