Oregon Ducks seed set for Big Ten Tournament
The Oregon Ducks' seed in the 2025 Big Ten Men's Basketball tournament has been set.
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.

Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House
Spartans Win Big Ten Recruiting Battle Over Iowa With 3-Star EDGE Cory House originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After visiting Michigan State on May 30 and Iowa on June 5, the Spartans picked up edge Cory House as their 10th 2026 recruit. The 3-star and No. 68 edge recruit in the country from Memphis, TN, declared his commitment on June 10. Rush ends coach Chad Wilts, who ultimately was credited as the primary recruiter, first gave House an offer back in February. However, the 6'5, 240-pound edge was wanted at 28 schools across the country, including 12 power conference schools. Advertisement Initially, House intended to visit Indiana and North Carolina as well. Ole Miss was also a contender for the Whitehaven High School edge. Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith looks on during practiceNick King/Lansing State Journal/USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Before the official visit season started, the Spartans had only four class of 2026 recruits all on the offensive side of the ball: quarterback Kayd Coffman, tight end Joey Caudill, tight end Eddie Whiting, and offensive tackle Eli Bickel. House now marks Michigan State's sixth consecutive defensive addition for the class of 2026 alongside safety Brayden Thomas, cornerback K.J. Deriso, safety Elijah Caldwell-Hardy, linebacker Braylon Hodge, and defensive tackle Chris Knauls. Advertisement Thomas, Deriso, and Hodge were also part of the first group of visitors. Thomas first committed to Iowa State on February 1. On May 31, one day after his official visit, the Ohio native hinted at flipping his decision before verbally committing to Michigan State on June 2. Despite upping the numbers, the Spartans are still pulling together more of a lackluster recruitment class with No. 295 overall Coffman being the only commit in the top 550 overall. Currently Michigan State's recruitment is ranked 44th in the country, falling well behind its Big Ten rivals in the top 20 overall: USC (No. 1), Ohio State (No. 2), Penn State (No. 5), Rutgers (No. 9), Illinois (No. 12), UCLA (No. 14), Minnesota (No. 18), and Washington (No. 20). While the Spartans bumped from No. 57 to No. 44, being on the weaker end of recruitment will force head coach Jonathan Smith to rely on returners making leaps heading into his second year if he's unable to secure high-end recruits.

Ohio State 2026 Big Ten baseball schedule released on Wednesday

The Buckeyes finished 13-37 overall and won just five of 30 Big Ten games. OSU did get an 11-10 walk-off win to end head coach Justin Hare's first season, but it was one of transition and uncertainty. Hopefully, next season is a much better one. The College Baseball World Series might be just now getting underway in Omaha, but that didn't stop the Big Ten from releasing the 2026 Big Ten baseball schedule on Wednesday.

How the Rams make sure rookies bond to start pro careers
Josaiah Stewart quickly studied the assignment, focused intensely, and went to work. The Rams linebacker delicately gripped a paintbrush, dipped it into a cup of green paint, and began filling the outline of a bird traced onto a wall of an Altadena school rebounding from the Eaton fire. A few feet away, Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson and defensive lineman Ty Hamilton maneuvered their huge frames to add their own artistic touches to the hallway mural. It was the latest rookie bonding experience for the 2025 draft class, a six-player group that includes several expected to play prominent roles for a team regarded as a Super Bowl contender. 'We've got a great group,' said Ferguson, a second-round pick. 'All the guys have bought into a lot of rookie bonding stuff by the team. 'It's cool that they really lean into building that relationship. … We're all going through this for the first time, transitioning to the NFL, so it's been a lot of fun.' Ferguson is regarded as the heir apparent to veteran Tyler Higbee, who is in the final year of his contract. Yet the dynamic Ferguson, a former Oregon star, won't have to wait until 2026: He appears on track to have a large role in coach Sean McVay's offense. Stewart, a third-round pick from Michigan, adds another dimension to an edge-rushing group that features NFL defensive rookie of the year Jared Verse and Byron Young. Running back Jarquez Hunter, a fourth-round pick from Auburn, is competing to back up Kyren Williams, who is in the final year of his rookie contract. Hamilton, from Ohio State, adds depth to a defensive line led by Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske, while fellow fifth-round pick Pooh Paul from Mississippi does the same for an inside linebacker corps that features Omar Speights and Nathan Landman. Receiver Konata Mumpfield, a seventh-round pick from Pittsburgh, is learning from Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. Several rookies said veteran players have welcomed and embraced them, helping them absorb the playbook and all that is expected of them on the field. Assistant head coach Aubrey Pleasant has helped oversee the rookies' collective transition to becoming pros, McVay said. 'We've really tried to lean into the types of people where there's different personalities, but there's still our core values or experiences that these guys have gone through that have tested their mental fortitude, their resilience,' McVay said, adding, 'The most important thing is as a team, how do we come together? How do we really lean on one another? But when you are going through a similar experience, it's been fun to be able to watch those guys mature and be able to grow together.' The rookies have bonded on the field during organized team activities, and off the field on excursions for meals, movies and places such as an escape room. The community events play a large role, Paul said. 'This is something I personally enjoy doing with the rookies simply because it really just shows, like, what we stand for outside the shoulder pads,' Paul said during a break from painting in Altadena. 'We've been doing a great job with that, bonding with each other, getting to know each other's backgrounds, where we come from, our collegiate careers and what helped us get to where we are today.' Organized team activities conclude this week, but the rookies will be together again next week when the Rams travel to Maui for a minicamp. On Tuesday, the six draft picks and other first-year players that signed as undrafted free agents will join Habitat for Humanity to rebuild homes in Lahaina that were damaged in 2023 wildfires. It will be another opportunity to work side-by-side, as they did in Altadena. 'It's a tight group,' Stewart said after finishing his painting in Altadena. 'We all bond, and events like these really bring us together.'
