No. 21 USC braces for challenge from highly regarded Wichita State

The Lake Tahoe area will host an early-season opportunity for a signature win when Wichita State and No. 21 Southern California meet Sunday in Stateline, Nev. The Trojans and Shockers both opened the season with double-digit home wins. Wichita State came on strong late to hold off Cal State Northridge 79-67 on Wednesday, while USC rolled past Milwaukee 95-63 on Monday. Blue-chip freshmen Darius Ratliff and Adonis Ratliff made impressive debuts in USC's season opener. Darius Ratliff scored 14 points and blocked five shots, while Adonis Ratliff had a game-high 25 points, six rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. The highly anticipated first-time pairing of Alijah Arenas and Rodney Rice in the backcourt also delivered. Arenas tallied 21 points and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds. Rice recorded 15 points, nine assists and six rebounds in his first game in almost a year. Although Arenas and Rice finished the 2025-26 season as two of USC's statistical leaders, the duo never shared the court. Arenas missed the first two months of the season because of a knee injury sustained in a car accident, while Rice suffered a shoulder injury during the Trojans' Thanksgiving-week run to the Maui Invitational championship.

“Doing the Worst Job of his Entire Career”: Barstool Podcaster Rips Into Ryan Day After Disappointing Oregon Defeat

The Ohio State Buckeyes are receiving a lot of flak after their massive 41-28 upset loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 10 on Saturday. The defeat to Oregon, combined with a Week 9 loss to the USC Trojans, is the first time since 2011 that the Buckeyes have lost two consecutive regular-season games, which is indicative of the season they’ve had thus far. Reacting to Ohio State’s underwhelming 6-3 overall record 10 weeks into the 2026 season, Barstool Sports analyst Brandon Walker on Monday’s ‘Mostly Sports’ show expressed his disappointment with the Buckeyes’ performances and placed much of the blame on head coach Ryan Day. Walker further argued that even a potential playoff appearance would not change his assessment of the Buckeyes’ struggles this season. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career. And well, I am not like Dave Portnoy doing the whole, bouncing up and down saying that Ryan Day is terrible; this is pretty inexcusable,” Walker said. “Even if they go to playoffs, this isn’t a very good Ohio State team,” he said. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career” -Brandon Walker https://t.co/PQaOm0q6DQ — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 9,

Murray's AP Top 25: UCLA with a stellar start to the season while Purdue stumbles

Nevada Sports Net columnist Chris Murray is one of 62 voters in the college basketball AP Top 25 poll. Here is a look at his ballot this week. * UCLA: In a matchup of former Pac-12 teams, UCLA knocked off Arizona in the season opener for both teams. Bruins coach Mick Cronin could use a big season after three straight campaigns falling short of the Sweet 16. So far, so good. After UCLA’s 84-75 win over Arizona, the Bruins drubbed North Florida, 114-63. They moved from unranked to 10th on my ballot. Kentucky also went from unranked to ranked, slotting in at No. 25 after beating Manhattan (85-57) and James Madison (89-80).

Mayor-elect Nithya Raman readies L.A. for 2028 Olympics

L.A. Mayor-elect Nithya Raman, who six years ago gave a firm “no” when asked if she supported the Olympics coming to L.A., will be “asked to take center stage at the closing ceremony,” according to Rainey, Haggerty & Zahniser of the L.A. TIMES. Raman’s recent election “won herself a ticket to sit among the dignitaries” for the opening ceremony of the Summer Games on July 14, 2028. In the more than 600 days before the Games begin, Raman will “oversee the city’s preparations.” Those “looking for signs of friction might note that the mayor-elect has closely allied herself with City Controller Kenneth Mejia, who has been locked in a battle with LA28 over its failure to publicly report some of the details of its finances.” It is “unclear what position Raman will stake out in that conflict and another one dear to several members of the City Council -- getting LA28 to agree to set aside a certain percentage of as much as” $4B in contracts to businesses based in L.A. During her run for mayor, Raman “did what she has done on many other issues -- project a more moderate, conciliatory stance on the Olympics” (L.A. TIMES, 11/7).

College basketball Week 1 overreactions: Believe the UCLA hype?

The long march to March is officially underway. The 2026-27 men’s college basketball season began last week with seven full days' worth of games. While many of the contests were laughably one-sided affairs between major-conference opponents and overmatched foes from smaller leagues, there were some early and informative glimpses about the 365 Division I teams and what they might be able to accomplish this season. There were several matchups between teams ranked in the top 25 of the preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, with No. 1 Florida beating No. 17 Miami , No. 5 UConn rolling past No. 20 Michigan in a rematch of last year’s national title game and No. 9 Virginia drubbing No. 13 Arkansas. There were upsets, too, like Valparaiso going on the road to knock off No. 24 Purdue in double overtime and East Texas A&M stunning Oklahoma . REQUIRED READING: UCLA stunned Arizona. What the Bruins showed should scare everyone Between the excitement over the start of the season, the small sample size of games and the desire to make sense of what we’ve seen, there’s a tendency to make big, sweeping proclamations about what’s unfolded thus far.

South Carolina makes resounding statement one week before USC showdown

USC women's basketball will face the South Carolina Gamecocks on Sunday, November 15. If you have been wondering how good South Carolina is this season, the Gamecocks offered a first indication by hammering No. 12 North Carolina, 84-39, over the weekend. Is North Carolina ranked too high at 12? Regardless, a 45-point win over a team widely expected to be a top-20-level team and a Sweet 16 contender rates as a big statement for South Carolina. The Gamecocks forced 24 North Carolina turnovers. They outrebounded the Tar Heels by 15, 48-33. South Carolina attempted 18 more free throws (25-7). The Gamecocks' defense was absolutely suffocating, limiting North Carolina to 25-percent field goal shooting, just 15 of 60. North Carolina scored 10 or fewer points in each of the first three quarters. South Carolina outscored North Carolina 32-9 in the third quarter to increase a 17-point halftime lead to a 40-point lead after three quarters. South Carolina's best players, Joyce Edwards, Chloe Kitts and Tessa Johnson, all made at least five field goals and shot at least 50 percent from the field. As you would expect of a 45-point win, it was a complete performance from the Gamecocks at both ends

UCLA Wins Nine Straight to Preserve Perfect 2026 Football Record

UCLA’s remarkable football season reached another milestone in Minneapolis on November 7, 2026. The Bruins defeated Minnesota 34-20, extending their winning streak to nine games and maintaining a perfect 9-0 record. First-year head coach Bob Chesney has transformed a program that entered the season with modest expectations into a serious contender in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff race. The victory was far from straightforward. Minnesota matched UCLA through the first half and remained competitive deep into the fourth quarter. Two spectacular touchdown passes eventually broke the deadlock, turning a closely contested road game into another historic result for the unbeaten Bruins.
