INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Trent Middleton Jr. scored on a driving layup, got fouled and made a free throw with 4.5 seconds remaining, lifting North Carolina A&T over Hampton 71-70 in the HBCU Classic on Friday night as part of NBA All-Star weekend.

It was the Aggies' first lead since they scored the game's first basket.

Jalyke Gaines-Wyatt's potential tying floater just missed at the buzzer.

Middleton's defense was key over the final 57 seconds. He had consecutive steals that led to baskets by the Aggies (10-14, 3-10 Coastal Athletic) after they trailed by eight with nearly six minutes to go.

Lewis Walker led the Aggies with 18 points, including four straight free throws that tied the game at 68-all. Middleton finished with 15 points, including 6 of 7 free throws, and Will Felton added 12 points off the bench on 5-of-6 shooting.

Hampton (12-14, 6-7) was outscored 9-2 over the final 43 seconds, getting just two free throws by Gaines-Wyatt. He and Xzavier Long led the Pirates with 17 points each. Elijah Kennedy had 13 points off the bench. They had five players in foul trouble, including Long and Josh Ogundele who fouled out.

The neutral court matchup counted as a conference game for the schools that traveled over 2,500 miles to play in Kia Forum, the former home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both schools brought their bands, cheerleaders and mascots. The Pack Drumline that plays for Chicago Bulls and Chicago Sky games entertained before the game while Black fraternities and sororities showed off their dance moves. Chloe Bailey sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and the national anthem.

The HBCU Classic started five years ago during Black History Month to highlight historically Black colleges and universities as part of NBA All-Star weekend.

KOLKATA, India (AP) — England won the toss and elected to field against Scotland in their Group C game at the T20 Cricket World Cup in Kolkata on Saturday.

Ireland Oman T20 WCup Cricket

England lost to the West Indies last time out after surviving a scare in the opening game against Nepal before notching a four-run win.

Captain Harry Brook wanted to chase against Scotland, which beat first-timer Italy by 73 runs after losing to the West Indies in its first group game.

"We fancy chasing with a quick outfield and a good wicket," Brook said at the toss. "We were too careful with the bat versus West Indies."

Both teams are unchanged.

Scotland was included late in the tournament after Bangladesh refused to travel to co-host India due to security concerns.

Captain Richie Berrington said he would have liked to bat first but "the key is how we play spin in the middle period."

Ireland thumps Oman

In Colombo, Lorcan Tucker's blistering unbeaten 94 off 51 balls earned Ireland its first win in the tournament as it crushed Oman by 96 runs in Group B.

Tucker, leading the side after Paul Stirling was ruled out of the World Cup due to a knee injury, powered Ireland to this tournament's highest score of 235-5.

Gareth Delany hit 56 and George Dockrell smashed three sixes off the final three balls in a blazing 35 not out off nine deliveries.

In reply, Oman was bowled out for 139 in 18 overs after losing the last eight wickets for just 42 runs.

Opener Aamir Kaleem (50) and Hammad Mirza (46) put on 73 for the third wicket, but once Kaleem holed out after scoring his 28-ball half century, the Oman innings folded quickly. Fast bowler Josh Little grabbed 3-16 while Matthew Humphreys (2-27) and Barry McCarthy (2-32) shared four wickets.

NEED TO KNOW

• Lauren Clark saw a trend on TikTok that she wanted to take part in

• She tested out phrases that kids used to hear growing up, and wanted to see if her kids knew what the responses are

• Her video of the responses went viral on Instagram and TikTok, amassing over 3 million combined views

Lauren Clark was scrolling social media when she saw a video of millennial parents using "toxic phrases" that their parents used to use on their own children.

The 35-year-old hairdresser, a Rhode Island resident, then asked her kids to gather around. She turned to her 8-year-old and her 10-year-old, saying, "Hey, guys, I really wanna say these sentences to you, and I wanna hear how you would finish them if they were sentences that mommy was saying."

In thevideofirst posted on Jan. 18, Clark says the beginnings of common phrases such as "I'll give you something to..." expecting them to say "cry about." However, her kids' responses were, "I'll give you something to snack on" and "I'll give you something to put away."

The next phrase, "I brought you into this world," also elicited heartwarming replies.

"You are my everything," one of her kids replied, as the other chimed in with their guess, "You're so special to me."

She continued to test out different phrases, tears in her eyes, captioning the clip, "Me realizing in real time that my children feel loved unconditionally."

While speaking to PEOPLE exclusively about the viral clip, Clark says, "Their answers were just everything that you see in the video, and that is my genuine response."

"I was overwhelmed with joy, and it was honestly very healing for me because those were never things that I heard growing up," she continues. "I obviously heard a lot of the original ones. So to have my kids have no idea what any of that even meant, and, even as I was saying it to them, I was trying to use that same tone, that aggressive tone, and they still just finished the sentences with complete love."

Later that night, she told her kids what the real endings to their phrases are and that some parents, including Clark's, have a different way of talking to their children.

"I said, 'My parents didn't state those statements in the same manner. I wanna share with you what we were told when we were kids. This is how some parents still parent their kids,' " she recalls. "I said that, and my children were completely shocked. You don't want your kids to be traumatized the same way that you were. When I said some of the initial endings to the sentences, they were like, 'Why are some parents so cruel? Why don't some parents like their children?' "

The creator of Vintage Peach Haircare shares that in the video and beyond, she was so "proud" because it "shows the difference when you parent and when you actually treat your children like human beings that they are, they don't end up with this negative mindset or negative outlook on the world."

When it comes to her social media accounts, Clark usually posts content about her business and rarely shares videos about her kids, especially anything with their faces, online. But after she recorded the trend, she felt she needed to share it with others.

"Initially, I wasn't gonna share it, but I had this intuition to share it with the rest of the world. The way this has taken off shows that millennial parents are healing as a collective. We are really out here trying to do right by our kids and show them unconditional love and show them that they're worthy and not be their first bully," Clark shares.

Almost immediately, people began sharing their stories with her about their own parenting experiences and how watching her video had healed them. While she got so many positive comments on her video, she also got a few negative responses, with some saying that's why children are "soft nowadays."

Her response to that is: "True vulnerability is being yourself and not caring what other people think about that, being able to speak up for yourself and say, 'Hey, I went through these things.' They were awful, but it made me stronger."

"Turning your pain into purpose, that is the beauty of the human experience. That is normal. That's what we should be connecting about these experiences. Not using them against one another," the mom of two continues, noting that she's tuned out a lot of the negative comments.

"It goes to show that everyone has a different perspective and two people can watch the same thing, something that's so beautiful, such an incredible, beautiful moment, and someone will still try to find something negative out of it," Clack concludes.

"The [most recent] milestones would be my son talking," Palmer shared.

"The process of seeing him grow from being a little baby that didn't speak to having words, opinions and a personality is incredible," she added.

She continued, "He's teaching me — most importantly, I think — just how to relax and how to live, you know what I mean? Like when you see your kid, it really is a mirror to you with your own life, but you're able to give them … what you need to give to yourself. So it's been a real blessing."

"It's a lot," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like after [having] my son, I've become even more intentional with what I choose to do, how I choose to spare my time, you know? I love everything that I do, but I think [I'm] always conscious to have a good team, to make sure that I can handle it all, and be able to organize it, 'cause it is a lot, but I do love it."

"This is to all my mother's doing it on their own," the actress wrote in the post's caption. "Not as a moment of pity or as a badge of hardship because being a mother is difficult, period. I just want to acknowledge you! It has been a really hard week for me and I honestly try very hard not to make TOO personal of posts."

At the premiere ofThe 'Burbs,Palmer also revealed that she was "excited" to take on the role of Samira — a woman who has just had a baby — in the series, because it tapped into some of her own experiences as a mom.

"It was actually kind of cathartic, because, well, the things that Samira was going through, even with her relationship and how that was impacted by having a child, and then postpartum and how, you know, you're trying to process things [while also being] so porous because you just [had] this human. I really related to a lot of that — and the horror behind it," she explained.

NEED TO KNOW

• The Silence of the Lambs first premiered on Feb. 14, 1991

• 35 years later, Anthony Hopkins' chilling performance as Hannibal Lecter still resonates with viewers

• In a March 1991 interview with PEOPLE, Hopkins, then 53, revealed why he believed the role was one of his "best" works at the time

Thirty-five years afterThe Silence of the Lambsfirst terrified and captivated audiences, the film still stands as a landmark of psychological cinema.

Based on Thomas Harris' 1988 bestseller, the movie reshaped the thriller genre and produced one of the most enduring performances in history. At the center of its legacy isAnthony Hopkins' Dr. Hannibal Lecter– a role that had been passed over by multiple actors before landing in his hands.

"I played Lecter with great relish," Hopkins told PEOPLE exclusively in March 1991, shortly after the film's release.

Orion Pictures

In the film, Hopkins portrays a psychiatrist and psychotic cannibal imprisoned for his crimes, whom the FBI enlists to help profile other serial killers.

Rather than overthinking the role, Hopkins trusted his instincts to guide his character development, especially in the film's tense scenes oppositeJodie Foster's Clarice Starling– an ambitious FBI trainee seeking insight from a man she's terrified of.

"You can't play evil to portray evil," Hopkins, then 53, told PEOPLE while dining at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. "If you do, it becomes a travesty."

"This was the best, most controlled work I've done," he said, noting that "the part jumped straight off the script into my mind."

"I immediately knew Lecter's voice, how he looked. I understood his complexities. It was easy. I used to make heavy weather of acting. Now I just learn my lines, show up and do it. No need to torture myself."

To bring his "wacko" character to life, Hopkins tapped into his personal history, drawing on memories of growing up lonely in working-class Port Talbot, Wales. "Maybe it's in the genes," he admitted.

As an only child, Hopkins described having ''a balanced bond'' with his parents, Richard and Muriel, who ran a bakery. But he also recalled a household shaped by emotional distance. His father, he said, "tended to depression and dark moods."

"I just felt very isolated for years and years, didn't feel I belonged anywhere. It made me depressed and miserable," he told PEOPLE, explaining that he often drew that sense of melancholy into his acting.

As a young boy, school offered little comfort for Hopkins. Despite talent in music and art, he often felt lost in the classroom, describing himself as ''hopeless, pathetic, an idiot.''

''I thought I was nuts, I felt so weird,'' he added, explaining that acting became a way to cope and reclaim control.

''I used to impersonate people – teachers, later on army sergeants and famous actors – and made up bizarre situations for them. It was my way of controlling and getting back at what made me uneasy – authority," he told PEOPLE.

Orion Pictures

That emotional depth, however, didn't prevent Hopkins from keeping the atmosphere on set playful.

Despite being known for intense roles, Hopkins loved to regularly cut through tension bysneaking up behind actors and crewwhile in character forThe Silence of the Lambs.

"Not a shooting day went by without Tony gliding up behind Jodie or myself, baring his fangs," director Jonathan Demme recalled. "Or he'd look round with these gigantic eyes at the whole crew and go, 'You know Jonathan's the mad one. He never blinks. He's quite insane.' "

"His lightness made it easy for everybody else," Demme emphasized.

Whilechatting with PEOPLE in January 2024,Hopkins admitted he still feels the same way about the project over three decades later, calling it "one of the best parts I've ever read."

"I could understand Lecter. I could understand the mystery of the man, the loner, the isolated voice in the dark, the man at the top of the stairs who's not really there," Hopkins, now 88, said.

After its release 35 years ago,The Silence of the Lambsreceived widespread critical acclaim, winning the "big five" Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Hopkins, Best Actress for Foster and Best Adapted Screenplay.
