Jennie Baranczyk explains emotions of OU-Iowa game in NCAA Tournament
OU women's basketball coach Jennie Baranczyk says it's no longer personal facing her alma mater, since she faced Iowa nine times as the coach of Drake.
NCAA
The Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team will face the Iowa Hawkeyes in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Oklahoma defeated Florida Gulf Coast in the first round, while Iowa beat Murray State.
The winner of the game will advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
Raegan Beers scored 25 points and grabbed 18 rebounds as three-seeded Oklahoma beat No. 14-seed Florida-Gulf Coast, 81-58, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday. Now the Sooners face one of the top programs in the country over the last few years.
The Sooners will play No. 6-seed Iowa after the Hawkeyes dispatched 11th-seeded Murray State, 92-57, earlier in the day from Lloyd Noble Arena.
OU had little problem with FGCU on Saturday and pulled away with a 16-point advantage in the fourth quarter. Skylar Vann nearly joined Beers in collecting a double-double with 24 points and nine rebounds. Native Iowan Sahara Williams had 10 rebounds and five assists, while Payton Verhulst joined Beers and Vann in double-figures, scoring 13 points.
In the Sooners win on Saturday, Beers, at 6-foot-4, was the star. She had her way against a much smaller FGCU. The Eagles' tallest starter was 5-9. Oklahoma outrebounded Florida Gulf Coast 72-35. The Sooners may not have that same advantage against an Iowa Hawkeyes team that boasts 6-foot-4 senior center Addison O'Grady.
Baranczyk played at Iowa from 2000-04, averaging 14.4 points and 6.8 rebounds over the course of her four-year career in Iowa City. She earned honorable mention All-Big Ten status in her final three seasons. Her first head coaching job was at Drake, located in Des Moines, from 2012-21 where she led the Bulldogs to three NCAA Tournaments before being hired to take over the Oklahoma women's basketball program in 2021.

Oklahoma 85, Iowa 77 : The Oklahoma Sooners have one of the deeper teams in the NCAA Women's Tournament. With Raegan Beers in the middle and with a veteran like Skylar Vann leading the way, the Sooners have more than enough fire power to take down the Hawkeyes. Though the Sooners have been a little loose with the basketball at times, Head Coach Jennie Baranczyk will have the team locked in to beat her former team. - John Williams, Sooners Wire
Prediction from Hawkeyes Wire's Scout Springgate
Iowa 81, Oklahoma 77: While Oklahoma gets another stellar performance from Beers and company, the Hawkeyes find a way to match the Sooners' offense with clutch scoring from Lucy Olsen, Hannah Stuelke, and Sydney Affolter. The game will ultimately come down to who capitalizes the most off crunch-time turnovers, which Iowa will be able to accomplish en route to an upset victory.- Springgate, Hawkeyes Wire

Pacers land Cedric Coward in NBA mock draft
Pacers land Cedric Coward in NBA mock draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers are three wins away from an NBA Championship. A team headlined by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam has been successful thanks to the depth of the team, not their superstars. Advertisement Depth can be costly, though. The Pacers are paying $169 million in salary this season, and are already committed to $167.9 million for next year, and that's before a potential extension of Myles Turner. The Pacers have done a great job at drafting NBA-ready players to keep bench costs relatively low, and one prospect stands out as a draft riser who could continue to contribute. Tankathon's NBA Mock Draft has the Pacers landing Washington State wing Cedric Coward with the No. 23 overall pick. Coward started the draft process ranked outside of the first round, but has been a quick draft riser over the past few months. Coward began his collegiate career at Division III Willamette University, averaging 19.4 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. Coward then transferred to Eastern Washington. In his first season with the Eagles, Coward came off the bench and played a key role, averaging 7.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. In his second season with Eastern Washington, he earned All-Big Sky honors, averaging 15.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Coward then transferred to Washington State, where he played just six games this past season due to a torn labrum, which required surgery. Coward looked stellar in his short sample with the Cougars, averaging 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Advertisement One of the most coveted archetypes in the modern NBA is the "3-and-D" player. Coward fits that mold to a T. Coward has a beautifully smooth shooting stroke, and he has touch from all over the floor. He shows comfort shooting off the catch, on the move, and as a pull-up shooter. In his three seasons of Division I basketball, Coward knocked down 38.8 percent of his three-point attempts and 83.2 percent of his free throws. Physically, Coward's size is an NBA dream. Listed at 6-foot-6, Coward has a 7-foot-2 wingspan and an 8-foot-10 standing reach. Cedric had among the top ten largest hands at the NBA combine. Coward possesses the arms of a much larger man, and it makes him very effective as a defender. Coward is a defensive playmaker, with a career steal percentage of 1.9 percent and a block rate of 3.7 percent in Division I. In his six-game season with Washington State, Coward averaged 1.7 blocks per game, with a block rate of 5.3 percent. Advertisement He's not a lead guard by any means. He has some ability with the ball in his hands, but he doesn't have elite burst and struggles to create separation against high-level defenses or aggressive help schemes. As a connector, though, Coward thrives. Playing within the flow of the offense is the name of the game for Coward. He runs well in transition, and that's truly where his playmaking ability shines. He has impeccable vision and timing as a playmaker on the fast break, which would work wonders for Rick Carlisle's Pacers team. Coward is a dream roleplayer. He brings an unselfish, team-first mindset paired with ancillary skills, great instincts, and insane genetics. Coward can step right in and make an impact, especially on a team like the Pacers that has had so much success with plug-and-play contributors. For the Pacers specifically, he brings more size and length on the wing than Aaron Nesmith, Ben Sheppard, and Andrew Nembhard do. His shot will have no problem translating to the NBA, and he can shoot well with volume. Haliburton and Siakam should generate plenty of open looks for Coward. Advertisement There's also a world, given his wingspan, that allows him to play bigger than he is, that Carlisle could deploy Coward as a four or perhaps even a small-ball five in a super-spread offense.

Cowboys learn tourney schedule
Last November, the Cowboys used a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands to help build the camaraderie that led to a historic season. McNeese State hopes to do that again this year. The Cowboys will be the headline act at the four-team field for the 2025 Cayman Islands Classic, which runs November 23-25. 'We're thrilled to participate in such a prestigious event, set in one of the most beautiful locations in the world,' said McNeese head coach Bill Armstrong. 'Competing against three programs with strong traditions of postseason success will be a significant early test for our team. Each matchup will present unique challenges and provide a valuable gauge of our current standing. 'It's a great opportunity to learn, grow, and identify the areas we need to improve as we prepare for conference play.' McNeese is coming off a 28-7 campaign that saw the Cowboys win their second straight Southland Conference championship, marking the first time in program history. The Cowboys also won their first NCAA Tournament game ever, upsetting Clemson 69-67 in the opening round of the Midwest Regional in Providence, Rhode Island. McNeese would lose its second-round match against Big Ten powerhouse Purdue. Armstrong takes over the Cowboys following Will Wade's departure for North Carolina State last March. He was able to retain four key members from last year's team, including starters Javohn Garcia and sharpshooter DJ Richards. Garcia was the Southland Conference's Player of the Year last season. With eight or nine new players on the roster, Armstrong will use this trip to continue building the Cowboys' team unity. 'It is important that we use trips like this to come together as a team,' Armstrong said. 'It will be great for an educational experience and a chance for us to bond as a group. 'We will also get a chance to play some good teams at a time when we are still trying to figure things out. I would rather play a tournament setting because there is a prize, but getting these three games against like competition will be big for us.' McNeese will be joined by George Washington, Murray State and Middle Tennessee State in the round-robin event. 'We're excited to welcome these outstanding programs to this year's Cayman Islands Classic,' said Joe Wright, owner and chief executive officer of Caymax Sports Ltd. 'They're in for a first-class experience — both on the court and in the beautiful Cayman Islands. It's going to be a special week of competition, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories for teams and fans alike.' The Cowboys will open the tourney, which is in its seventh year, against George Washington on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 4 p.m., Lake Charles time. Middle Tennessee State and Murray State will play the night's second game. The following night, the Cowboys will play Murray State in the late game, roughly 6:30 p.m., with Middle Tennessee and GW in the opener. McNeese will open the final night with a 4 p.m. game against Middle Tennessee in John Gray Gymnasium in George Town, Grand Cayman. Middle Tennessee State went 22–12 in 2024-25, advancing to the National Invitation Tournament under head coach Nick McDevitt. Chris Caputo returns for his third year as head coach at George Washington, which plays in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Ryan Miller enters his first year as head coach at the Missouri Valley Conference's Murray State, looking to improve on the team's 16–17 record from last year. The Cowboys are still looking to fill the final two games of their schedule in hopes of finding a pair of Power 4 opponents. Tournament Schedule (all times central) Sunday, Nov. 23 McNeese vs. George Washington, 4 p.m. Middle Tennessee vs. Murray State, 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24 Middle Tennessee vs. George Washington, 4 p.m. McNeese vs. Murray State, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25 Murray State vs. George Washington, 4 p.m. McNeese vs. Middle Tennessee, 6:30 p.m.

One of Minnesota's best ever, T.J. Oshie bids emotional farewell to the NHL
One of Minnesota's best ever, T.J. Oshie bids emotional farewell to the NHL originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Everyone knew it was going to happen after a back injury prevented him from playing this season, but that didn't make T.J. Oshie's retirement ceremony on Monday any less impactful. Oshie, the 38-year-old who started making a hockey name for himself in Warroad, choked back tears during an emotional speech held at Washington Harbour on the Georgetown waterfront in Washington, D.C. Oshie was a warrior until the very end, and nearly from the very start. He grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington and got his start in the Seattle Junior Hockey Association before his parents divorced and he moved to Minnesota with his dad in 2002. He became an instant star in three years at Warroad High School, leading the Warriors to Class A state championships in 2003 and 2005 (they also made it to the tourney in 2004). He had 43 goals and 42 assists as a junior and led the state in scoring with 38 goals and 62 assists as a senior. "To the city of Warroad, or Hockeytown USA as we call it, thank you for welcoming me into your tight-knight community. You sparked my love for the game of hockey and I can't think of a better place for me to grow up," Oshie said. "Winning two state championships together felt like it couldn't get any better. Thank you for taking me in." He wasn't born in the State of Hockey, but he's certainly one of the best to ever make it to the NHL after playing high school hockey in Minnesota. In 1,010 career games, Oshie scored 302 goals and had 393 assists (695 points). He was named an All-Star in 2020 and he hoisted the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018. From a statistical view, the greatest scorers to have traveled the Minnesota-to-the-NHL pipeline are Phil Housley, Blake Wheeler, Neal Broten, Zach Parise, Dave Christian and Matt Cullen, but those are the only names that scored more points than Oshie. Phil Housley: 1,232 points (338 goals, 894 assists) Blake Wheeler: 943 points (321 goals, 622 assists) Neal Broten: 923 points (289 goals, 634 assists) Zach Parise: 923 points (434 goals, 455 assists) Dave Christian: 773 points (340 goals, 433 assists) Matt Cullen: 731 points (266 goals, 465 assists) T.J. Oshie: 695 points (302 goals, 393 assists) Reed Larson: 685 points (222 goals, 463 assists) Jamie Langenbrunner: 663 points (243 goals, 420 assists) Kyle Okposo: 614 points (242 goals, 372 assists) Defining Oshie's greatness in comparison to other Minnesota high school legends who turned in great NHL careers is a futile task. For example, you won't find Mike Ramsey or Erik Johnson's names among the scoring leaders before they were elite defensemen. How can one weigh Ramsey's 1980 "Miracle on Ice" involvement and more than 1,000 career games in the NHL? The scorers get the glory, but Ramsey is no doubt one of the best to ever come out of Minnesota. Parise has more goals and points but Oshie won a Cup and helped make Alexander Ovechkin the NHL's all-time leader in goals. Oshie also delivered iconic shootout goals in the gold medal game against Russia at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. There's too much subjectivity to make a true top 10. But no matter how you slice it, Oshie is one of the greatest to ever wear an NHL sweater after starring in Minnesota high school rinks. "The moment my skates touched the ice, I gave you everything I had," Oshie siad. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
