The No. 11-ranked UCLA Bruins are defending champions and underdogs—at least for now

The defending champs look a lot different. But even if they’re underdogs, it’s not smart to doubt UCLA. Just seven months ago, the UCLA Bruins tasted victory at the highest degree. They defeated the juggernaut South Carolina Gamecocks 79-51 to win the 2026 NCAA national championship. Fast forward...

College basketball rankings: UCLA holds firm in Top 25 And 1 as star freshman Nikola Kusturica shines

UCLA's Nikola Kusturica, just like Duke's Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje and Texas' Marcus Spears Jr., is a 17-year-old freshman who is so young that he will not be age-eligible for the 2027 NBA Draft. That's why the 6-foot-9 forward signed a multi-year agreement in July with the Big Ten school, and this is all terrible news for every coach in the conference not named Mick Cronin, especially after what Kusturica did late Friday in a 114-63 win over North Florida.

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).

“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,

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. Oftentimes, they’re overreactions — the kinds

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).

Big Ten Week 10 created even more opportunities for USC to rise

The UCLA Bruins ran away with another victory, moving to 9-0, while the Ohio State Buckeyes are melting down. The USC Trojans and the Indiana Hoosiers know their game contains even more meaning now, following a week of more chaos in the Big Ten. Here are the scores from this weekend in Big Ten football, plus my breakdown for each team: Illinois 24-13 vs Nebraska (Friday) Katin Houser gave the Illinois Fighting Illini great quarterback play, and he saved his best performance of the season for this game. Illinois ' offense was efficient and mistake-free. The same could not be said for the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a whole; they had 11 penalties. Games like this are a stain on what Matt Rhule has built. Things have gone off the rails, but suffering a loss like this to end the season is telling. UCLA 34-20 vs Minnesota The Minnesota Gophers put up a fight for another week, but the UCLA Bruins are looking more and more like a new version of the Curt Cignetti Indiana Hoosiers. Bob Chesney has the Bruins at the top of the Big Ten in just 1 season. Hope is not lost for the Gophers, as they

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.

UConn’s Winning Streak Comes to an End as Michigan Climbs in Women’s Basketball Rankings

The Michigan Wolverines women’s basketball team started their 2026-27 season on a tone nobody expected.
