Oregon Ducks seed set for Big Ten Tournament
Following the Illinois Fighting Illini's win over the Purdue Boilermakers on Friday night, the Ducks have been locked into the No. 8 seed for the upcoming conference tournament. Oregon will now face the No. 9 seed—an opponent yet to be decided.
It will be either the Ohio State Buckeyes or Indiana Hoosiers who face Oregon, with the winner of that game on Saturday afternoon determining the matchup. The Ducks have wins over the Buckeyes and Hoosiers this season.
Oregon's first-round Big Ten tournament game will be held on Thursday at 9 a.m. PT at Gainbrdge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. It will be aired on the Big Ten Network.
The winner of that first-round game will advance to face the No. 1 seed Michigan State Spartans in the conference tournament quarterfinals on Friday (9 a.m., BTN).
Despite their conference tournament seed being locked up, the Ducks will conclude their regular season with a game against the Washington Huskies on Sunday afternoon, played at noon PT in Seatle.

Kansas City Chiefs OL coach Andy Heck recaps Josh Simmons' preseason debut
During Tuesday's training camp press conference, Kansas City Chiefs offensive line coach Andy Heck shared his thoughts on rookie left tackle Josh Simmons' preseason debut last Saturday. "It's a big job for anybody coming in to learn the details of the offense, assignments (and) techniques. Every play has a thousand little details and so picking those things up, that was job one in the spring where he (Josh Simmons) was doing less physical work with us." said Heck, "Since he has gotten to training camp, he's been able to every day add one or two of these details that are important to each play. So, I've seen him steadily improve, and his understanding - and we're able to have better conversations about what's going on and I think that'swhat we'll see his trajectory do is just go like this (points up)." Simmons played briefly in the starting lineup against the Arizona Cardinals but made a positive impression. Heck was happy with Simmons' performance, but refuses to compare him to anyone he's worked with through his coaching career. "I'd hesitate to compare guys; every guy is different. I'm still in a learning process myself, of what makes him (Josh Simmons) tick, how does he learn best (and) how can I help him get better? There's constant communication there," said Heck, "But I would say he's certainly as talented a player as I've ever been around. He loves the game. So, those are two good things: when you're talented and you love the game, and you want to be the best, you've got a great chance to be a good one." Simmons earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors for the 2024 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes. Saturday's game was his first since suffering a patellar tendon injury, ending his college career.

Kiara Romero wins Mark H. McCormack Medal as world's top female amateur golfer
Kiara Romero, who's set to begin her third season at Oregon this fall after making a run to the quarterfinals of the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur, has been named winner of the Mark H. McCormack medal, the United States Golf Association and R&A announced Wednesday. The McCormack medal is given to the leading female player in the 2025 World Amateur Golf Ranking. Lottie Woad won the award last year. Romero receives exemptions into the 2026 U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club and the 2026 AIG Women's Open at the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in England, provided she remains amateur. 'It's an incredible honor to win the McCormack Medal,' Romero said in a release. 'This is a really nice reminder of how far I've already come in my golf career. I know how special winning this medal is, and I hope I can follow in the footsteps of the inspiring players who have won it before me.' Through two seasons at Oregon, she has risen to be arguably the best player in school history. As a sophomore, she was one of the finalists for the Annika Award after winning the Big 10 individual championship and the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional. The 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior champion also set a record for lowest final round by an amateur in a U.S. Women's Open, shooting 5-under 67 at Erin Hills earlier this year. 'On behalf of the USGA, we congratulate Kiara on this prestigious honor,' John Bodenhamer, chief championships officer of the USGA, said in a release. 'Kiara's commitment to the game is evident, with her first USGA championship victory already among her lengthy list of accolades. Her back-to-back starts in the U.S. Women's Open, along with her display of consistent top performances in her collegiate career, is an exceptional showcase of a player deserving of the McCormack Medal.'
