Iowa basketball transfer named to prestigious foreign squad
Iowa basketball transfer named to prestigious foreign squad As Iowa basketball continues its offseason restructuring under new head coach Ben McCollum, it was announced Wednesday that transfer forward Alvaro Folgueiras will represent Spain on the Men's U20 squad at the U20EuroBasket 2025 European Championship next month. The European Championship will run from July 12 to 20, with Spain playing three games within the first three days. Similar to what piqued the Hawkeyes' interest in the forward, Folgueiras' overall game, combined with his athleticism and versatility, makes him a dangerous weapon for Spain. In his breakout 2024-25 season last year with Robert Morris, he averaged 14.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 54.8% from the field, 41.3% from 3-point territory, and 78.4% from the free-throw line. Given that the Big Ten is one of the more physical conferences in the nation regarding its style of play, more competition against international bigs should help Folgueiras transition into becoming a center that can evenly match up against the conference's elites. The 6-foot-9 Spaniard will be a critical piece of what McCollum and the Hawkeyes hope to accomplish this upcoming season, as he can score and be a prominent defensive presence. Folgueiras is expected to become a focal point of the McCollum offense at the four and five spot alongside guard Bennett Stirtz. His passing ability can also play well into what McCollum will want to do on offense. His 3-point range will also help keep teams with traditional bigs out of synch, which should open his offensive arsenal. As the excitement toward Iowa's new era increases by the day, the Hawkeyes' 2025-26 season will ironically kick off on Nov. 4 against Robert Morris from Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Alabama gets leading hitter from Horizon League school that discontinued baseball program Coach Rob Vaughn and Alabama baseball have picked up their first position player from the transfer portal since the Crimson Tide's season ended in the Hattiesburg Regional of the NCAA Tournament a week ago. Infielder Justin Osterhouse announced his commitment to Alabama in a post to social media on Saturday. Osterhouse, a sophomore last season, spent the past two years in the Horizon League with Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). The school announced it was discontinuing its baseball and softball programs on May 23. A left-handed hitter, Osterhouse led the Mastodons at the plate with a .328 average, 16 home runs and 46 RBIs this past season. He added 10 doubles and led the team in stolen bases (13) and on-base percentage (.453) while starting 52 of the team's 53 games. Listed as 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, the Grand Rapids, Mich. native started 30 games this past season at second game, 16 at third base, and six at shortstop. His best showing at the plate came on May 15 against Wright State in Fort Wayne. In a 21-17 Mastodons victory, Osterhouse hit four home runs in a 5-for-6, eight-RBI night. Alabama used senior Brennen Norton, Jon Young Jr. and Garrett Staton at second base this past season. The Crimson Tide went 41-18 overall, winning 40 regular-season games for the first time since 2002. They fell to Miami and Southern Miss on back-to-back days at the NCAA Tournament in Hattiesburg. Alabama announced a contract extension for Vaughn on June 3. Contact/Follow us @RollTideWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Alabama news, notes and opinions.

Wright State stuns No. 1 Vanderbilt with historic upset in baseball regionals
The Commodores are now the first No. 1 seed to fail to reach its regional final since 1999. () Wright State pulled off a historic upset on Sunday afternoon in Nashville. Wright State stunned top-seeded Vanderbilt in its own regional in a 5-4 win on Sunday afternoon. That officially sent the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament home before the regional final, which is something that hasn't happened under the current format — which was adopted in 1999. Advertisement The Commodores were the first No. 1 seed to be eliminated in the regionals round since UCLA fell in 2015. Vanderbilt has now been knocked out in the regional rounds for a fourth straight season. The Commodores started Austin Nye, though he faced just seven batters and gave up four runs before they pulled him. Vanderbilt started slowly crawling back into the game, and it put up three runs in the final inning in large part due to a two-run single from Mike Mancini. But RJ Austin flew out to end the game, which allowed Wright State to make it out with the one-run win. Despite the remarkable upset, Wright State — a No. 4 regional seed from the Horizon League — failed to take advantage. It had to turn around right away and take on Louisville on Sunday night, and the Cardinals rolled to a 6-0 win. The Cardinals are now advancing to the super regional. Wright State was playing in its third regional final, and its first since 2016. Advertisement Vanderbilt was the second top team to go down on Sunday. No. 2 Texas fell 7-4 to UTSA for a second straight day, which knocked the Longhorns out of the Austin regional early. That sent the Roadrunners to the super regionals for the first time in program history.
