Can Michigan State sneak onto No. 1 seed line?
After starting the season unranked, Michigan State has emerged as one of the nation's best teams and enters conference tournament play on a seven-game winning streak that includes five wins over ranked teams, two of them over rival Michigan.

The Spartans appear locked into a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament and will hope to make a case for a No. 1 seed in Indianapolis. It's a long shot that will require some significant help from the SEC tournament. Either way, the Spartans are playing their best basketball at the right time and are red hot entering tournament play.
Can Michigan turn things around?
Meanwhile, Michigan has been spiraling. After a 14-3 start to Big Ten play, the Wolverines have lost three straight and four of their last six, including Sunday's lopsided loss to Michigan State in the regular-season finale.
The Wolverines are slipping in NCAA tournament bracket projections and will look to re-find their footing with a run in Indianapolis.
How will Big Ten bubble teams shake out?
Ohio State, Indiana and Nebraska all enter Big Ten tournament play on the NCAA tournament bubble. Indiana appears to be the safest bet of the three after beating Ohio State in the regular-season finale.

Browns' Myles Garrett cited for speeding at 100 mph in a 60 mph zone, per police records
Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett was cited for speeding early on Saturday morning in Strongsville, Ohio. Garrett was driving 100 mph in a 60 mph speed limit zone at around 2:01 a.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 9, according to public police records. The four-time All-Pro's speeding incident came after the team played their preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night. It marks the second incident involving a Browns player in Strongsville since June, when Shedeur Sanders was cited for driving 101 mph in the same 60 mph speed limit zone. Garrett can avoid a court appearance by paying the $250 fine. As Cabot noted, it's the eighth speeding ticket for the 29-year-old since he arrived in Cleveland as the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. It has also been three years since Garrett flipped his Porsche while speeding and swerving to avoid an animal in 2022. Garrett inked a four-year, $160 million contract extension in March, which made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history at the time. USA TODAY Sports reached out to the Browns for comment.

Colin Cowherd Encourages Shedeur Sanders To Focus on his 'Judgement'
National Football League Colin Cowherd Encourages Shedeur Sanders To Focus on his 'Judgement' Published Aug. 11, 2025 7:20 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Colin Cowherd had some advice to offer Shedeur Sanders after his NFL preseason debut. In simple terms, he told the Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback to focus on football, and only football. "I think his traits — the arm, the size, the mobility — are all good enough to be a mid-tier NFL quarterback," Cowherd, the host of FOX Sports' "The Herd," said. "But, he's not great at them… So, he's going to have to better in the other 30-to-40-percent of quarterback play, which is maturity, focus, IQ, film study." Cowherd mentioned this because, after Sanders' impressive performance on Friday, the rookie QB approached radio/TV personality Tony Grossi. Sanders was overheard saying to Grossi: "You always say negative stuff about me. And I'm like, I didn't do nothing to you. I've never seen you say anything positive about me." The confrontation didn't seem overtly hostile with the two sharing a laugh as Sanders walked away, asking "What'd I do? What'd I do to you, Tony?" But to Cowherd, the exchange was unnecessary, and raised red flags. "He's a good kid, but the judgment thing is going to have to be exceptional," Cowherd said. "Don't look for sympathy and support from local radio guy. Watch film." Because of the spotlight on Sanders, these off-field antics will fall under as much scrutiny as his on-field performance receives acclaim. And it was impressive. On Friday, he completed 14-of-23 pass attempts for 138 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and led another touchdown drive, as well. ADVERTISEMENT "I'm tired of Cleveland fans saying, 'Colin, you're making a lot of this little stuff,'" Cowherd said. "'That's what you said about Johnny Manziel, and Baker Mayfield, and DeShaun Watson's court stuff in Houston.' How about you sit this one out, Browns' fans? You're 0-for-3 on, 'It's no big deal.'" In fact, Sanders has already gotten into legal trouble this offseason, when he received two separate speeding tickets. So, while Cowherd's criticism might be nit-picking, and Sanders' interaction with Grossi might be nothing, what Cowherd is saying is, just let the performance be the only story. In reality, only time will tell if Sanders needs to — and can — mature. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
