With just a bit under 7 minutes remaining, UCLA leads S. Carolina 67-38 in the women's final. The last team with B1G affiliation to win it was Purdue in 1999.

As the RG points out, nothing changes as the result of this executive order because judicial interpretation of the Sherman Antitrust Act has sided with the plaintiffs, which precedent can only be affected by an act of congress.

Once More Into the Breach, Dear Friends - One more win over a solid and tenacious UConn squad, and the B1G's NCAA Tournament championship shutout since 2000 will come to a close. Taking the football and men's basketball crowns in the same season would be B1G.

Don't be sad, 1 out of 2 B1G ain't bad - Michigan 91 - Arizona 73 It's a Dusty, not a May Day. 😁 Monday night, Michigan vs UConn.

UConn makes the B1G feel Ill - UConn 71 - Illinois 62

I guess this is a start. The leaders of the major conferences all seem to be supportive. We shall see.

Waiting for the Illini - UConn Tip Off - Some Coach Trivia - Michigan's Dusty May grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana. Dusty is a University of Indiana graduate. While at Indiana, he was a student manager for Bob Knight. Illinois basketball coach Brad Underwood paid a whole lot of dues before scoring a B1G gig. Brad was a JC coach before serving as an assistant coach at Western Illinois for ten seasons. Today, in Champaign, Brad can afford Dom Perignon Champagne instead of Ripple. Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd played his college CBB in Walla Walla. First at Walla Walla Community College before finishing at Walla Walla's Chapman College. Lloyd played pro ball Down Under and in Germany. Then, Lloyd coached for twenty years as an assistant with Oregon grad Mark Few's Gonzaga teams. UConn coach Dan Hurley played his college ball at Seton Hall, taking a backseat to his brother, Bobby, who was an All-American at Duke. But when it comes to coaching, Dan is way ahead of his brother with two National Championships at UConn, and is looking for his third. New Jersey native Hurley was an assistant coach at Rutgers before turning NJ high school St. Benedict's Prep into a high school power, and then taking the head coach jobs at Wagner College and Rhode Island. Dan is 17-3 in March Madness games. I'm hoping the UCLA women represent the West and win a title on Easter Sunday. This Monday, I hope we will see Michigan play Illinois for the whole enchilada. We need the B1G dues. 🤑 And I also hope that in 2027, we will see Dana back where he and OBD belong, on the March Madness dance floor.

In the last decade, the PAC-12 conference de-emphasized basketball. The focus was on Olympic sports, softball and tennis. And who was the commissioner at this time?...Larry Scott. He ran the conference (into the ground) from 2009 through 2021. He was the chairman and CEO of the woman's tennis association. The university presidents made the wrong choice when they hired him. And now were paying the price.

Michigan wins 4-3 as Devin Bell gave up three hits and a plinked batter. The final hit scored two for the walk-off. Ducks had plenty of chances to win, as we ended up stranding 13 on base.

3-2 Ducks after eight innings. My stomach is churning as Oregon stranded two in scoring position again for a total of 12 runners stranded on base. We should have this game in hand, and yet could lose it. Luke Morgan kept our recent tradition of pitching to retire the side 1-2-3 continued!

Lets not forget that Air Jordan's put Nike on top of the athletic shoe market. Now I'm not saying Phill Knight here I'm saying Nike corp--Put the right shoes on the RIGHT PLAYERS(NIL) and IM sure the profits will come back. Nike isnt doing so good these days and they need a boost-this could be a good opportunity for the Ducks and them. Just sayin.

3-2 Ducks after seven innings. My gosh...Oregon strands two in scoring position again. Coming in to pitch is Luke Morgan, who has an ERA of 2.45 and he put the Wolverines down 1-2-3!

3-2 Ducks after six innings. We are stuck on offense, but Michael Meckna just put down Michigan 1-2-3...two innings in a row.

Northwestern fans were complaining last Saturday about the third game ending early so Oregon could make their flight connections home. "We should never have let the West Coast teams in....blah, blah." Softball standings as of Saturday morning: Washington Nebraska UCLA Oregon (USC doesn't offer softball) 2025 final standings: Oregon Nebraska UCLA If not for Pac12 legacy members, the B1G would largely be irrelevant in softball. And, the legacy B1G members probably hurt seeding for the 3 West Coast teams at the end of the regular season.

Adding a little historical perspective here. Oregon’s softball team was the regular season champion of the Big Ten in 2025.

3-2 Ducks after five innings. Nothing on offense, and Oregon brought Michael Meckna in for relief with a 4.20 ERA. He got beat-up in a recent game, but retired the side with three fly-balls easily this inning.
