PAUL TAGLIABUE, NFL COMMISSIONER OF 17 YEARS WHO LED AN ERA OF RICHES AND EXPANSION, DIES AT 84

NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Tagliabue, who helped bring labor peace and riches to the NFL during his 17 years as commissioner but was criticized for not taking stronger action on concussions, died Sunday from heart failure. He was 84.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tagliabue’s family informed the league of his death in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

Tagliabue, who had developed Parkinson’s disease, was commissioner after Pete Rozelle from 1989 to 2006. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of a special centennial class in 2020. Current Commissioner Roger Goodell succeeded Tagliabue.

“Paul was the ultimate steward of the game — tall in stature, humble in presence and decisive in his loyalty to the NFL,” Goodell said in a statement. “I am forever grateful and proud to have Paul as my friend and mentor. I cherished the innumerable hours we spent together where he helped shape me as an executive but also as a man, husband and father.”

News of Tagliabue’s death came shortly before seven games kicked off Sunday. The Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings held a moment of silence for Tagliabue and Marshawn Kneeland, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackle who died on Thursday.

Tagliabue oversaw a myriad of new stadiums and negotiated television contracts that added billions of dollars to the league’s bank account. Under him, there were no labor stoppages.

During his time, Los Angeles lost two teams and Cleveland another, migrating to Baltimore before being replaced by an expansion franchise. Los Angeles eventually regained two teams.

Tagliabue implemented a policy on substance abuse that was considered the strongest in all major sports. He also established the “Rooney Rule,” in which all teams with coaching vacancies must interview minority candidates. It has since been expanded to include front-office and league executive positions.

When he took office in 1989, the NFL had just hired its first Black head coach of the modern era. By the time Tagliabue stepped down in 2006, there were seven minority head coaches in the league.

In one of his pivotal moments, Tagliabue called off NFL games the weekend after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It was one of the few times the public compared him favorably to Rozelle, who proceeded with the games the Sunday after President John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. A key presidential aide had advised Rozelle that the NFL should play, a decision that was one of the commissioner’s great regrets.

Tagliabue certainly had his detractors, notably over concussions. The issue has plagued the NFL for decades, though team owners had a major role in the lack of progress in dealing with head trauma.

In 2017, Tagliabue apologized for remarks he made decades ago about concussions in football, acknowledging he didn’t have the proper data at the time in 1994. He called concussions “one of those pack-journalism issues” and contended the number of concussions “is relatively small; the problem is the journalist issue.”

“Obviously,” he said on Talk of Fame Network, “I do regret those remarks. Looking back, it was not sensible language to use to express my thoughts at the time. My language was intemperate, and it led to a serious misunderstanding.

“My intention at the time was to make a point which could have been made fairly simply: that there was a need for better data. There was a need for more reliable information about concussions and uniformity in terms of how they were being defined in terms of severity.”

While concussion recognition, research and treatment lagged for much of Tagliabue’s tenure, his work on the labor front was exemplary.

As one of his first decisions, Tagliabue reached out to the players’ union, then run by Gene Upshaw, a Hall of Fame player and former star for Al Davis’ Raiders. Tagliabue had insisted he be directly involved in all labor negotiations, basically rendering useless the Management Council of club executives that had handled such duties for nearly two decades.

It was a wise decision.

“When Paul was named commissioner after that seven-month search in 1989, that’s when the league got back on track,” said Joe Browne, who spent 50 years as an NFL executive and was a confidant of Rozelle and Tagliabue.

“Paul had insisted during his negotiations for the position that final control over matters such as labor and all commercial business dealings had to rest in the commissioner’s office. The owners agreed and that was a large step forward toward the tremendous rebound we had as a league — an expanded league — in the ’90s and beyond.”

Tagliabue forged a solid relationship with Upshaw. In breaking with the contentious dealings between the league and the NFL Players Association, Tagliabue and Upshaw kept negotiations respectful and centered on what would benefit both sides. Compromise was key, Upshaw always said — although the union often was criticized for being too accommodating.

Tagliabue had been the NFL’s Washington lawyer, a partner in the prestigious firm of Covington and Burling. He was chosen as commissioner in October 1989 over New Orleans general manager Jim Finks after a bitter fight highlighting the differences between the NFL’s old guard and newer owners.

Yet during his reign as commissioner, which ended in the spring of 2006 after pushing through a highly contested labor agreement, he managed to unite those divided owners and, in fact, relied more on the old-timers who supported him than on Jerry Jones and many of the younger owners.

Tagliabue was born on Nov. 24, 1940, in Jersey City, New Jersey. He was the 6-foot-5 captain of the basketball team at Georgetown and graduated in 1962 as one of the school’s leading rebounders at the time — his career average later listed just below that of Patrick Ewing. He was president of his class and a Rhodes scholar finalist. Three years later, he graduated from NYU Law School and subsequently worked as a lawyer in the Defense Department before joining Covington & Burling.

He eventually took over the NFL account, establishing a close relationship with Rozelle and other NFL officials during a series of legal actions in the 1970s and 1980s.

Tagliabue was reserved by nature and it sometimes led to coolness with the media, which had embraced Rozelle, an affable former public relations man. Even after he left office, Tagliabue did not measure up in that regard with Goodell, who began his NFL career in the public relations department.

But after 9/11, Tagliabue showed a different side, particularly toward league employees who had lost loved ones in the attacks. He accompanied Ed Tighe, an NFL Management Council lawyer whose wife died that day, to Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a few blocks from the NFL office.

Art Shell, a Hall of Fame player, became the NFL’s first modern-day Black head coach with the Raiders. He got to see Tagliabue up close and thought him utterly suited for his job.

“After my coaching career was over, I had the privilege of working directly with Paul in the league office,” Shell said, “His philosophy on almost every issue was, ‘If it’s broke, fix it. And if it’s not broke, fix it anyway.’

“He always challenged us to find better ways of doing things. Paul never lost sight of his responsibility to do what was right for the game. He was the perfect choice as NFL commissioner.”

Tagliabue is survived by his wife Chandler, son Drew, and daughter Emily.

SEVEN FROM SUNDAY

A look at seven statistical highlights from games played during the 9:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET windows on Sunday, November 9, the 10th week of the 2025 season.

With two games remaining in Week 10, there have been 38 games decided by a game-winning score in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime, the most in NFL history through Week 10.There were three teams – Chicago, Houston and Indianapolis – that recorded the game-winning score in the final two minutes of regulation or in overtime this week. Houston overcame a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Jacksonville, 36-29, while Chicago overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the New York Giants, 24-20.
Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor recorded a career-high and franchise-record 286 scrimmage yards (244 rushing, 42 receiving) and three rushing touchdowns during the Colts’ 31-25 overtime victory over Atlanta in Berlin, the most rushing yards and most scrimmage yards ever in an international game. Taylor has 66 career rushing touchdowns and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk (64 rushing touchdowns) for the most rushing touchdowns in Colts franchise history. Taylor, who is 26 years old and has 7,152 rushing yards and 73 scrimmage touchdowns (66 rushing, seven receiving) in his career, became the fifth player under the age of 27 with at least 7,000 rushing yards and 70 scrimmage touchdowns, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and LaDainian Tomlinson.

TEXAS RETURNS TO TOP 10, ACC HAS FIVE TEAMS RANKED IN THE TOP 25 AND THERE IS GROUP OF FIVE INTRIGUE

Texas returned to the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, the Atlantic Coast Conference has five teams ranked for the first time this season and two Group of Five conferences are now represented in the Top 25 a month before the playoff bracekt is set. The top five was unchanged.

The Longhorns, the preseason No. 1 team, are ranked No. 10 in advance of its visit to No. 5 Georgia this week. They had been in the top 10 for the first six polls before their loss at Florida knocked them out of the Top 25 for a week.

Four straight wins elevated them to No. 13 last week, and they jumped three spots ahead of BYU and Virginia and an idle Oklahoma, which they beat 23-6 on Oct. 11. Texas did not play over the weekend.

Ohio State was No. 1 for the 11th week in a row with 55 first-place votes. Indiana remained No. 2 after its narrow escape at Penn State, but the Hoosiers’ six first-place votes were five fewer than last week.

No. 3 Texas A&M got four first-place votes, three more than a week ago, and was 31 points behind Indiana. Alabama and Georgia rounded out the top five. Mississippi, Oregon, Texas Tech, Notre Dame and Texas rounded out the top 10.

In all, 19 spots in the Top 25 have new teams.

The ACC has five teams with one loss in conference play and two others with two losses. That’s reflected in the closely bunched group of ACC teams in the poll — No. 14 Georgia Tech, No. 16 Miami, No. 19 Louisville, No. 20 Virginia and No. 23 Pittsburgh. The last time the ACC had as many ranked teams was Nov. 3, 2024.

The race for the Group of Five’s automatic bid in the College Football Playoff got more interesting with Memphis’ loss to Tulane on Friday. The CFP committee did not have a G5 team in its top 25 but said Memphis was first in line. That will almost certainly change when the committee’s next rankings come out Tuesday.

No. 24 James Madison of the Sun Belt Conference made its first AP poll appearance since 2023. The Dukes are 8-1, their only loss to Louisville, and are the highest-ranked G5 team. No. 25 South Florida of the American Conference is right behind, and Tulane of the American received the most votes among the unranked.

In and out

— No. 23 Pittsburgh, No. 24 in the initial CFP rankings, is in the AP poll for the first time since last November.

— No. 24 James Madison’s previous Top 25 appearance was in 2023, when Curt Cignetti’s last Dukes team was in the final seven regular-season polls.

— No. 25 South Florida’s 32-point win over USTA helped Bulls to return after a two-week absence.

Missouri (19), Memphis (22) and Washington (24) dropped out.

Poll points

— The last time there teams from two G5 conferences ranked at the same time was last year, when Boise State and UNLV of the Mountain West and Army and Memphis of the American were in the final two polls of the season.

— BYU, which was unbeaten before its 29-7 loss at Texas Tech, dropped four spots to No. 12 to end its two-week stay in the top 10.

— Virginia and James Madison give the commonwealth two ranked teams for the first time since the final 2023 regular-season poll (Liberty, James Madison).

Conference call

SEC (8): Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 21.

ACC (5): Nos. 14, 16, 19, 20, 23.

Big Ten (5): Nos. 1, 2, 7, 17, 18.

Big 12 (4): Nos. 8, 12, 15, 22.

Independent (1): No. 9.

Sun Belt (1): No. 24.

American (1): No. 25.

Ranked vs. ranked

No. 10 Texas (7-2, 4-1 SEC, No. 11 CFP) at No. 5 Georgia (8-1, 6-1, No. 5 CFP): Bulldogs won regular-season meeting and SEC championship game against Longhorns last year. Third straight time this is an top-10 matchup.

No. 9 Notre Dame (6-2, No. 10 CFP) at No. 23 Pittsburgh (7-2, No. 24 CFP): Huge playoff implications for both. Irish and Panthers both ranked at time of their meeting for first time since 1991.

No. 11 Oklahoma (7-2, 3-2, No. 12 CFP) at No. 4 Alabama (8-1, 6-0, No. 4 CFP): Last year’s embarrassing loss in Norman killed Crimson Tide’s playoff hopes.

MLB PITCHERS EMMANUEL CLASE AND LUIS ORTIZ CHARGED WITH TAKING BRIBES TO RIG PITCHES FOR BETTORS

NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted on charges they took bribes from sports bettors to throw certain types of pitches, including tossing balls in the dirt instead of strikes to ensure successful bets.

According to the indictment unsealed Sunday in federal court in Brooklyn, the highly paid hurlers took several thousand dollars in payoffs to help two unnamed gamblers from their native Dominican Republic win at least $460,000 on in-game prop bets on the speed and outcome of certain pitches.

Clase, the Guardians’ former closer, and Ortiz, a starter, have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July, when Major League Baseball started investigated what it said was unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. Some of the games in question were in April, May and June.

Ortiz, 26, was arrested Sunday by the FBI at Boston Logan International Airport. He is expected to appear in federal court in Boston on Monday. Clase, 27, was not in custody, officials said.

Ortiz and Clase “betrayed America’s pastime,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said. “Integrity, honesty and fair play are part of the DNA of professional sports. When corruption infiltrates the sport, it brings disgrace not only to the participants but damages the public trust in an institution that is vital and dear to all of us.”

Ortiz’s lawyer, Chris Georgalis, said in a statement that his client was innocent and “has never, and would never, improperly influence a game — not for anyone and not for anything.”

Georgalis said Ortiz’s defense team had previously documented for prosecutors that the payments and money transfers between him and individuals in the Dominican Republic were for lawful activities.

“There is no credible evidence Luis knowingly did anything other than try to win games, with every pitch and in every inning. Luis looks forward to fighting these charges in court,” Georgalis said.

A lawyer for Clase did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The Major League Baseball Players Association had no comment.

Unusual betting activity prompted investigation

Major League Baseball said it contacted federal law enforcement when it began investigating unusual betting activity and “has fully cooperated” with authorities. “We are aware of the indictment and today’s arrest, and our investigation is ongoing,” a league statement said.

In a statement, the Guardians said: “We are aware of the recent law enforcement action, We will continue to fully cooperate with both law enforcement and Major League Baseball as their investigations continue.”

Clase and Ortiz are both charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery. The top charges carry a potential punishment of up to 20 years in prison.

In one example cited in the indictment, Clase allegedly invited a bettor to a game against the Boston Red Sox in April and spoke with him by phone just before taking the mound. Four minutes later, the indictment said, the bettor and his associates won $11,000 on a wager that Clase would toss a certain pitch slower than 97.95 mph (157.63 kph).

In May, the indictment said, Clase agreed to throw a ball at a certain point in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the batter swung, resulting in a strike, costing the bettors $4,000 in wagers. After the game, which the Guardians won, Clase sent text messages to one of the bettors with images of a man hanging himself with toilet paper and a sad puppy dog face, the indictment said.

Clase, a three-time All-Star and two-time American League Reliever of the Year, had a $4.5 million salary in 2025, the fourth season of a $20 million, five-year contract. The three-time AL save leader began providing the bettors with information about his pitches in 2023 but didn’t ask for payoffs until this year, prosecutors said.

The indictment cited specific pitches Clase allegedly rigged — all of them first pitches when he entered to start an inning: a 98.5 mph (158.5 kph) cutter low and inside to the New York Mets’ Starling Marte on May 19, 2023; an 89.4 mph (143.8 kph) slider to Minnesota’s Ryan Jeffers that bounced well short of home plate on June 3, 2023; an 89.4 mph (143.8 kph) slider to Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. that bounced April 12; a 99.1 mph (159.5 kph) cutter in the dirt to Philadelphia’s Max Kepler on May 11; a bounced 89.1 mph (143.4) slider to Milwaukee’s Jake Bauers on May 13; and a bounced 87.5 mph (140.8 kph) slider to Cincinnati’s Santiago Espinal on May 17.

Prosecutors said Ortiz, who had a $782,600 salary this year, got in on the scheme in June and is accused of rigging pitches in games against the Seattle Mariners and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Ortiz was cited for bouncing a first-pitch 86.7 mph (139.5 kph) slider to Seattle’s Randy Arozarena starting the second inning on June 15 and bouncing a first-pitch 86.7 mph (139.5 kph) slider to St. Louis’ Pedro Pagés that went to the backstop opening the third inning on June 27.

Dozens of pro athletes have been charged in gambling sweeps

The charges are the latest bombshell developments in a federal crackdown on betting in professional sports.

Last month, more than 30 people, including prominent basketball figures such as Portland Trail Blazers head coach and Basketball Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were arrested in a gambling sweep that rocked the NBA.

Sports betting scandals have long been a concern, but a May 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling led to a wave of gambling incidents involving athletes and officials. The ruling struck down a federal ban on sports betting in most states and opened the doors for online sportsbooks to take a prominent space in the sports ecosystem.

Major League Baseball suspended five players in June 2024, including a lifetime ban for San Diego infielder Tucupita Marcano for allegedly placing 387 baseball bets with a legal sportsbook totaling more than $150,000.

BEN GRIFFIN RALLIES IN CABO FOR THIRD WIN OF 2025

Ben Griffin put an exclamation point on his breakout season by shooting a final-round, 9-under-par 63 to secure his third win of 2025 at the World Wide Technology Championship on Sunday in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Griffin was consistent all week but started the day two shots back of South Africa’s Garrick Higgo. Griffin rolled in five birdies in a row at Nos. 8-12 to overtake Higgo and Carson Young for the lead at 27 under par.

He added two birdies coming home and finished with 10 birdies and a single bogey on his card in order to reach 29-under-par 259 at El Cardonal Golf Course. That was enough for a two-shot win over Sami Valimaki of Finland (64 Sunday) and Chad Ramey (65).

Higgo shot a 68 and faded to a T4 finish alongside Trevor Cone (66).

“To start out the round I wasn’t really paying too much attention” to the leaderboard, Griffin said. “There’s a lot of gettable holes, felt like there were a lot of birdies to be made. So I just kind of kept my head down and just tried to play aggressive, play smart, not attack the pins that were a little closer to the edges or whatnot, go at a lot of the pins that were a little more receptive.

“Yeah, and coming down the stretch I kind of got to a point where I was I think 27 under and with three holes to go my goal was to birdie ‘em all and get to 30, and I had felt like that would seal the deal.”

Griffin, 29, won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (with teammate Andrew Novak) and the Charles Schwab Challenge in the spring. He vaulted into the top 15 in the world rankings, qualified for the Tour Championship for the first time and was a captain’s pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Par-3 holes were instrumental to Griffin’s comeback. He birdied all four par-3s, sticking his tee shot to 2 feet of the pin at No. 9 and getting a long, left-to-right bender to drop at No. 11.

“My dad always calls me Mr. Par 3, so shout out, Dad,” Griffin said. “No, I mean, I got off to a great start honestly making some birdies. … But after making a few birdies early, I kind of pushed myself a little bit harder than the past few weeks when I was in contention to kind of keep the pedal down.”

Griffin has several reasons why 2025 will be a memorable year. Away from the course, his wedding to partner Dana Myeroff is on the horizon.

“It’s so great to have her out here, it means the world,” he said. “So excited to marry her in four weeks, getting closer. Crazy, three wins and getting married in the same year, hard to beat.”

Ramey and Valimaki were outside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings entering this tournament, and the top 100 players at the end of the fall secure full PGA Tour status for next season. Ramey vaulted from No. 123 to No. 89 and Valimaki from No. 103 to No. 76 with two tournaments to go.

“At the end of the year that’s the goal, keep your PGA Tour card,” Ramey said. “You know, Ben’s top-50, he didn’t have to worry about it, but the rest of us out here, that’s on the top of our goals.”

AARON RAI TOPS TOMMY FLEETWOOD IN PLAYOFF TO WIN IN ABU DHABI

Aaron Rai sank a birdie on the first playoff hole to defeat fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and capture the Abu Dhabi Championship on Sunday in the United Arab Emirates.

Rai shot a 5-under-par 67 on Sunday to finish tied with Fleetwood at 25-under 263 after the final round at Yas Links Golf Club.

In the playoff, Fleetwood’s birdie attempt fell short on the par-5 18th hole. Rai calmly stepped up and sank his birdie putt to capture his first European tour title in five years. Ironically, Rai bested Fleetwood in a playoff to win the 2020 Scottish Open.

Rai collected seven birdies — including four in a row from holes Nos. 4-7 — and two bogeys during his final round. He embraced his father, Amrik, after winning the tournament.

“It’s hard to sum up,” Rai said. “I think you’re just so focused on playing the round and obviously just trying to stay in your zone. It’s hard to put into words at the moment how this feels or how I’m going to reflect on it.

“But it’s just amazing to be here. Tommy is a phenomenal player. He’s an even better person than he is a player and that says a lot. To play with him the last two days and be out there with him was really special. So yeah, amazing to be here.”

Fleetwood, who won the tournament in 2017 and 2018, highlighted his bogey-free round 66 with an eagle and four birdies.

Race to Dubai leader Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland carded a 62 on Sunday to reside in a tie with Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard (67) for third place, one shot behind Rai and Fleetwood.

New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier (67) and Englishman Richard Mansell (63) finished in fifth place at 22-under.

NASA HATAOKA WINS RAIN-SHORTENED JAPAN CLASSIC IN PLAYOFF

Nasa Hataoka won the Japan Classic on the first playoff hole Sunday after rain washed out the fourth round of the event.

Because tournament officials determined conditions were unplayable at the course, the decision was made to call off the final 18 holes and send Hataoka and Yuna Araki to a playoff. The two Japanese players were tied at 15-under 201 after 54 holes Saturday at the Seta Golf Club.

Hataoka and Araki played the 18th hole for the playoff, with Hataoka finishing with a par on the hole and Araki a bogey.

Hataoka had shared the lead at the end of each of the three rounds.

It is her seventh LPGA Tour title. She won $315,000 with Araki earning $191,664.

Miyu Yamashita, winner of the Maybank Championship in Malaysia last week, finished one stroke behind and in third place.

Eight Japanese women finished in the top nine.

FALCONS STRUGGLE ON THIRD DOWN AGAINST COLTS AND SLIP TO FOURTH STRAIGHT LOSS

BERLIN (AP) — Big drops, third down deficiencies and four straight losses.

The Atlanta Falcons have plenty to think about on their plane ride home from Berlin, Germany, after a 31-25 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

The Falcons went 0 for 8 on third down.

“You’ve got to find a way to convert those third downs. You’ve got to get them shorter, get them more manageable,” coach Raheem Morris said. “We can’t have any drops, can’t have any situation, protection problems, whatever the case may be. We’ve got to figure out how to get those things done.”

Michael Penix Jr. completed 12 of 28 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown pass to Drake London, who had six receptions for 104 yards.

“We just didn’t execute when we needed to. Our defense got a lot of big-time stops for us, and we didn’t put points on the board. That’s it,” Penix said.

“It’s something we’ve got to figure out,” he added of the third down woes. “We’ll figure out, watch film, figure it out. But, yeah, we’ve got to be better. And it starts with me.”

On their first drive, Kyle Pitts dropped a pass that would have been a big gain. Two plays later, Penix lost a fumble after being hit Camryn Bynum. That set up Jonathan Taylor’s first touchdown run and a 6-0 Colts lead.

Pitts finished with two receptions for 38 yards.

In the third quarter, Pitts beat cornerback Jaylon Jones but Penix’s pass to the end zone was short and struck Jones’ helmet for a missed opportunity.

Morris was asked about Penix’s accuracy and said “obviously gotta look at that.”

“They came out particularly on third down and hit us with some zero pressure, some fake zeros, couple different things,” Morris said. “We got some protection issues, made us run around a little bit. We had a couple of drops. Our guys came out, fought well, played hard. Michael always plays well, fights hard, along with all those guys. We’ve got to find a way to get better.”

The Falcons missed a chance to build on their 17-13 lead in the third quarter. Edge rusher James Pierce Jr. strip-sacked Daniel Jones and the Falcons recovered the ball on their 44 but went three-and-out.

What’s next?

The Falcons host the Carolina Panthers next Sunday.

“We’ll be detailed. We’ll be sharp. We’ll practice. The guys do the right thing like they always do. They’ll respond. We’ll find a way to win this game next week,” Morris said.

++++++++++INDIANA PACERS BASKETBALL++++++++++

The already shorthanded Pacers had an extra-long injury report for Sunday’s game at Golden State on the second night of a back-to-back.

Starting wing Aaron Nesmith (right forearm contusion) and All-Star forward Pascal Siakam (rest) joined seven others on the sideline on Sunday. Down nine players, Indiana (1-9) ran out of gas down the stretch in a 114-83 loss to the Warriors (6-5).

The Pacers have now dropped four straight since their lone win of the season, which came against Golden State at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Nov. 1.

Indiana shot just 34 percent from the field and committed 22 turnovers in the loss.

Andrew Nembhard, back starting at point guard for the second straight night after missing the previous seven contests with a shoulder injury, had a team-high 14 points and nine assists in 30 minutes for Indiana.

Making his second start of the season, Jay Huff recorded his first career double-double, tallying 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds to go along with three blocks.

Jimmy Butler led Golden State with 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and seven assists. The Warriors were without two-time MVP Stephen Curry, who missed his third straight game due to illness.

Quinten Post made two early 3-pointers as the Warriors jumped to a 13-4 lead on Sunday night, but the Pacers’ defense allowed the visitors to climb back into the game.

Indiana held Golden State scoreless for a 5:40 stretch, reeling off a 10-0 run over that span to briefly take the lead. The two teams would trade the lead four times in the final 1:30 of the first quarter, but a layup by Jimmy Butler gave Golden State a narrow 23-21 advantage at the end of the frame.

The Pacers briefly tied the game at the start of the ensuing quarter on a basket by Isaiah Jackson, but the Warriors counted with six straight points and maintained the lead for remainder of the half, taking a 48-41 lead into the intermission.

The Blue & Gold went just 4-for-18 from 3-point range in the first half, but found their shooting stroke in the third quarter. Indiana made five threes in the first 6:04 of the second half, with Nembhard and Huff each knocking down a pair of threes and Ben Sheppard providing the fifth.

That 3-point barrage trimmed Indiana’s deficit to 59-58 and the Pacers briefly moved in front following two Tony Bradley free throws with 5:36 remaining in the third quarter.

But the Warriors closed the quarter strong. Moses Moody made two threes — the latter a four-point play in the final seconds of the frame — as Golden State closed the third with a 14-3 run to take a 75-65 lead into the fourth quarter.

The hosts extended their lead to 14 with a pair of buckets in the first 26 seconds of the final frame, forcing a timeout from Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle.

But the visitors were unable to make a run, as the Warriors instead pulled away, extending the margin to as high as 33 points on their way to victory.

Jackson and Jarace Walker each scored 12 points in the loss. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl — playing on a 10-day hardship contract —narrowly missed out on a double-double off the bench, finishing with nine points and 12 boards.

Warriors rookie Will Richard scored 15 points off the bench. Brandin Podziemski added 14 points and six rebounds, while Post tallied 14 and eight boards. Moody scored 13 and fellow reserve Al Horford added 12 for Golden State.

The Pacers will continue a four-game road trip on Tuesday in Utah and then on Thursday in Phoenix before returning to Indianapolis to host Toronto on Saturday.

Inside the Numbers

The Pacers’ .340 field goal percentage was a new season low. The Pacers have shot 35.5 percent from the field or worse in four of their first 10 games this season. Prior to this year, they had not shot that poorly in a single game since Dec. 12, 2022.

Indiana’s 83 points were the team’s fewest in a game since they also scored 83 in a 103-83 loss at Charlotte on Nov. 8, 2024.

Huff recorded his first career double-double by setting a new career high with 11 rebounds. His previous high was nine, which he had achieved two times.

Neither team shot the ball well from beyond the arc. Indiana went 11-for-39 (28.2 percent) and Golden State was 12-for-44 (27.3 percent).

The Warriors had a distinct advantage from the free throw line, shooting 37 free throws to Indiana’s 11. Golden State was 26-for-37 (70.3 percent) from the charity stripe, while the Pacers were 8-for-11 (72.7 percent).

Playing his second game since signing with Indiana on Friday, veteran guard Monte Morris had eight points and four assists in 20 minutes off the bench.

Jackson reached double figures for the third time in his last five games.

You Can Quote Me On That

“The first three quarters, that’s who we got to be. Sticky defense, tied together, making tough plays on the floor, rebounding the ball well, stuff like that…The fourth quarter, it just got away from us. We’ve got to avoid that kind of thing. We worked too hard for three quarters to give up 39 in the fourth.” -Carlisle on Sunday’s game

“We’ve got to stay in the fight. This is a very difficult stretch of games, a lot of travel, all that kind of stuff. Every excuse in the world, but this is a time that we can really become closer together if we fight together.” -Carlisle on staying together amid adversity

“Monte Morris is a good player. He’s a veteran. He has moxie, he has basketball IQ, experience, all that kind of stuff.” -Carlisle on what Morris has added to their team

“I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Drew’s conditioning looks very good…He’s getting some rhythm. He’s doing what he does, which is playing tough and smart. He’s important to us, obviously.” -Carlisle on how Nembhard has looked in first two games back

Stat of the Night

The Pacers committed a season-high 22 turnovers on Sunday, which the Warriors converted into 28 points. Golden State only had 10 turnovers.

Noteworthy

The Pacers lost for the first time ever at Chase Center on Sunday. They were 6-0 in the building since it opened in 2019, the only team in the NBA that had yet to lose there.

Indiana is 1-2 on the season on the second night of a back-to-back and 0-5 so far on the road.

Siakam missed just his fifth game since joining the Pacers via trade on Jan. 17, 2024.

Up Next

INDIANA SHINES IN 100-77 VICTORY OVER MARQUETTE

CHICAGO — Forward Tucker DeVries couldn’t miss. Wouldn’t miss. Guard Lamar Wilkerson was right with him. Guard Conor Enright made Indiana’s second-biggest jaw-dropping play of the weekend (hint – think football).

Welcome to Indiana basketball domination. That it came 100-77 Sunday afternoon against Big East power Marquette at Chicago’s United Center, that it showcased shot making (14-for-28 on 3-pointers), passing (27 assists on 33 baskets), and defensive ferocity (forcing 15 turnovers) was a big step for a veteran team still getting to know each other.

“Our guys were unselfish on offense,” coach Darian DeVries told Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer during the post-game radio show. “Defensively, we did a good job of taking away what we thought were their strengths. We got a little handsy at times with the fouls, so there are some things we can clean up.”

It was IU’s first time reaching 100 points in two years and followed the 98 points it scored in the season-opening win over Alabama A&M. It came with impressive perimeter shooting (14-for-28 from 3-point range) and solid execution — only eight turnovers against fierce Marquette defensive pressure. Not even major foul trouble — 25 fouls to give the Golden Eagles (2-1) 33 free throw attempts — slowed down the Hoosiers.

“I was proud of the effort they put out,” DeVries told Fischer. “It was the second game of the year and we had to go against full-court press, three-quarter press, a bunch of changing defenses. Our guys did a great job in prep to get ready to handle all of those things.”

Forward Tucker DeVries set the first-half tone with 24 of his game-high 27 points. He was 6-for-9 on 3-pointers. Wilkerson had 23 points with 6-for-10 3-point shooting, plus eight assists. Enright was a highlight with a half-court, first-half-ending 3-pointer.

“When the ball is going in like that,” Tucker DeVries said, “it makes you more confident and aggressive. You stay in the moment and play within the offense.

“The offense did a great job of playing well together and being really good against their pressure.”

It was a homecoming for Enright, who is from Illinois and played a year at DePaul in Chicago. He had seven points and five assists before fouling out.

“It was cool,” he said about the Chicago opportunity. “I had a lot of family and friends here. It’s awesome to get a big win.”

IU forward Sam Alexis added 13 points and five rebounds. Freshman Trent Sisley finished with 15 points and five rebounds.

“We had great balance,” Darian DeVries told Fisher. “Tucker had it going in the first half. In the second half, we were able to get Lamar going, and when the game got tight, Lamar was the one to hit a couple of big ones to stretch that lead back out.

“Trent had some big plays. Reed had a nice stretch. Everybody contributed in different ways. Guys stepped into their roles in a good fashion.”

Foul trouble surfaced early. Enright, Reed Bailey, and Jasai Miles picked up two in the first half. Tayton Conerway had three.

No matter. The Hoosiers built an 18-point halftime lead while shooting 50.0% on 3-pointers (7-for-14), and 48.6% overall. They also were 15-for-16 on free throws and had 12 assists against three turnovers. Tucker DeVries led with 24 points.

“(Marquette is) challenging to play against,” DeVries told Fischer. “They have a lot of guys who can pressure the ball. We did a good job of staying composed. They never got sped up. They played within themselves.”

Darian DeVries was happy about the Hoosiers’ “connectivity on defense,” but wanted to see more physicality in rebounding. Marquette won that battle, 39-34.

“We continue to stress it,” DeVries told Fischer. “It’s a priority for us to make it a physical fight down there hitting bodies. Our guys are getting better at it.”

Tucker DeVries opened the scoring with a 3-pointer.

Wilkerson’s acrobatic basket couldn’t offset a flurry of Hoosier fouls. Marquette went 8-for-8 from the line to take a 10-8 lead. IU countered with a Tucker DeVries three-point play, then two straight DeVries 3-pointers and then a long pass to Trent Sisley for a dunk as it went ahead 20-15.

A DeVries bank shot gave the Hoosiers a 30-24 lead. Wilkerson’s 3-pointer made it 37-30. DeVries’ fourth 3-pointer capped an 8-0 run for a 42-30 score. His fifth 3-pointer gave IU a 45-34 lead with three minutes left.

Enright’s half-court 3-pointer made it 56-38 at halftime.

The big second-half key — could the Hoosiers sustain their play?

Marquette surged within 12 points. Wilkerson hit his third 3-pointer. A Marquette 3-point cut the lead to 65-55 with 14 minutes left. Darian DeVries called a timeout to set up a play for his son, who buried a 3-pointer off a screen, then picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench. A Sisley basket made it 70-55. Wilkerson’s 3-pointer gave the Hoosiers a 73-57 lead with 12 minutes left. Wikerson’s fifth 3-pointer gave IU its biggest lead of the game at 78-57 as the clock approached 10 minutes.

Marquette was finished.

Next up is Wednesday’s home game against Milwaukee.

WINNING STREAK ENDS IN MADISON

MADISON, Wis. – The return of star setter Charlie Fuerbringer was exactly what the doctor ordered for No. 11 Wisconsin on Sunday (Nov. 9) afternoon. Boasted by the return of their fantastic sophomore, the top-15 Badgers rolled to an efficient sweep (25-13, 25-14, 25-20) over No. 18 Indiana at UW Fieldhouse. IU’s winning streak of four games in conference play comes to an end.

From the jump, the Badgers played with a renewed energy against the Hoosiers. IU hit just .113 (35-21-124) on the afternoon against a stifling Wisconsin defense. Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager led the way with 14 kills on a game-high 45 attacks. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles had seven kills and now sits in a tie for tenth in program history (1,283).

IU’s floor defense attempted to keep the team in the match in the third set. Freshman libero Avery Freeman led the way with nine digs. Six different players offered up at least five digs but IU couldn’t find any answers for Wisconsin seniors Mimi Colyer (14 kills) and Carter Booth (11 kills, .733 hitting percentage).

Following IU’s fourth road match of the year against a top-25 team, head coach Steve Aird’s group will get an extended run of time at home. The Hoosiers’ next four matches are all at Wilkinson Hall, beginning with a visit from Oregon on Friday (Nov. 14) evening. The stretch will take IU to the final week of the regular season.

How it Happened

• Wisconsin’s offense moved at a lightning-speed pace with the return of sophomore setter Charlie Fuerbringer. She dished out 28 assists as. The team hit .351 with just six attacking errors. Six-foot-seven senior middle blocker Carter Booth had all the answers – providing 11 kills on 15 swings.

• The Badgers’ floor defense was equally as impressive. They dug 56 balls in three sets, led by 15 from freshman libero Kristen Simon. Senior outside hitter Colyer had a double-double with 14 kills and 10 digs. IU tried to keep the match alive with defense of its own. The Hoosiers added three blocks and 45 digs but Wisconsin sided out at over 80 percent.

Top Hoosier Performers

#24 Jager, Jaidyn

14 kills, 8 digs, 1 block

#2 Freeman, Avery

9 digs

Notes to Know

• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles recorded seven kills in the match. She now has 1,283 kills in her IU career, moving into a tie for 10th place on the all-time list. She’s 17 kills away from recording 1,300 career kills during her time in Bloomington.

• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager recorded a team-high 14 kills in the defeat at Wisconsin. It’s her third-straight match with 14 kills and the seventh time in the last eight contests that she’s gone for at least 10 kills. This season, there have only been four of IU’s 24 matches where she’s had fewer than nine kills.

• The Hoosiers recorded 45 digs in the three-set match. It’s the fourth time this season that the team has had 45-or-more digs in a match that last just three sets. Six different players had at least five digs, led by nine from freshman libero Avery Freeman.

BAUMANN, BUELL WIN GOLD; #23 BOILERS NAB 6 MEDALS AT TIGER STYLE INVITE

COLUMBIA, Mo. — No. 23 Purdue Wrestling had a strong showing at the annual Tiger Style Invite with 10 placewinners, five finalists and two champions.

The Boilermakers, competing without three of their eight ranked wrestlers, placed fourth as a team in the all-day event inside Hearnes Center.

It was a loaded tournament that included No. 14 Little Rock, No. 15 Missouri, No. 16 Oklahoma and No. 24 South Dakota State.

No. 28 Stoney Buell, competing at 157 lbs, won his second career tournament crown with an unblemished 4-0 effort with two ranked victories. He earned a scrappy 9-7 decision over No. 29 Jaivon Jones (LR) in the quarterfinals and went on to win Purdue’s first gold medal with an 11-6 decision against No. 14 Cael Swensen (SDSU). It was Buell’s highest-ranked win since beating No. 10 Antrell Taylor at the 2023 Cliff Keen Invite.

No. 21 Brody Baumann (174) stayed perfect on the year with three wins over SDSU’s Connor Gaynor (21-5 technical fall, 5:49), SDSU’s No. 31 Moses Espinoza-Owens (10-7 decision) and OU’s Carter Schubert (7-3 decision). Baumann is a flawless 5-0 this season, the hottest start of the redshirt junior’s career.

Baumann wasn’t the only Evansville Mater Dei alum to have a remarkable day. In his first day of college wrestling. freshman Isaiah Schaefer dominated his debut against No. 25 Kade Moore (MIZ), taking a 12-3 major decision. He went on to win two more matches and came up just short of winning the whole thing, dropping an overtime 4-1 decision in the finals. But it was enough to show the Fargo Greco-Roman and Freestyle Junior All-American is legit.

Cole Solomey had a career day as well at 149, winning second place. Hailing from Demotte, Ind., Solomey surprised everyone by taking a major decision, a decision and a medical forfeiture to the title match against No. 6 Josh Edmond. He went down to the wire with the sixth-ranked wrestler, losing 2-1 only because of a second stall warning.

No. 17 Greyson Clark (141) also lost his finals match in overtime, giving up a takedown to Zeke Seltzer (MIZ). The two-time NCAA qualifier grinded out two decision victories to get to the finals and take silver.

Gavin Brown battled back from an early loss to win all the way through the consolation ladder, taking bronze with four wins to improve to 6-1 in his first year as a Boiler. The 149-pounder is making a strong case to become the latest Purdue starter to join the national rankings.

Additionally, Ashton Jackson (125), No. 17 Blake Boarman (133), Isaac Ruble (157) and No. 26 Ben Vanadia (197), all took fourth place in their brackets. Jackson arguably had the most impressive win of the bunch as the No. 16 seed, taking out top-seeded No. 23 Beric Jordan (OU) for his first ranked win.

The Boilermakers amassed 99 team points. Host Mizzou won the tournament again this season with 146.5 points.

MSU OPEN RUNDOWN

On Saturday, six Purdue freshmen made the trip to the Michigan State Open in East Lansing.

Vincent Paino (133) had one of the best performances with a pin, tech. fall and a major decision to place second. Aidan Costello (174) also showed out, taking second with two majors and a decision. Third-place Adrian Pellot (165) picked up a tech, two majors and a decision. Ty Henderson (125) placed fifth with four victories.

UP NEXT

Purdue returns home to host its quad meet known as the Boilermaker Duals next Saturday. The Boilermakers host Buffalo at 10 a.m. ET, Northern Illinois at 12 p.m. and American at 2 p.m. inside Lambert Fieldhouse. Admission is free of charge, and the broadcast will be on B1G+.

NO. 15 IRISH OFFENSE ERUPTS IN 116-58 WIN OVER CHICAGO STATE

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The No. 15 Fighting Irish impressed on both ends of the floor en route to a dominant 116-58 victory over Chicago State on Sunday afternoon inside Purcell Pavilion.

For the second-straight outing all five Notre Dame starters finished in double figures for points, led by Hannah Hidalgo’s 32-point effort. Cassandre Prosper (28 points) and KK Bransford (21) each posted career highs for scoring in the victory.

Both Hidalgo and Prosper flirted with a triple-double, as Hidalgo added eight rebounds, eight assists and four steals to complete her all-around performance. Prosper finished with a career-high eight steals and seven rebounds to go along with her 28 points.

Vanessa de Jesus and Gisela Sanchez each also finished in double-figures in the points column, scoring 15 and 11 respectively.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Notre Dame wasted no time jumping out to an early double-digit lead, leading by a score of 19-7 at the first media timeout of the afternoon. Prosper started red hot with eight early points off 3-3 shooting.

The Irish kept their foot on the gas, pushing the lead to 21 by the end of the first frame with the score 35-14. Hidalgo led all scorers with 12 points over the opening 10 minutes.

Notre Dame added 27 points in the second quarter to take a 62-29 lead into the halftime intermission. The Irish shot 10-of-19 from the floor in the second quarter with six different players scoring.

The Fighting Irish came out of the locker room at the break and turned in their best offensive quarter of the day, pouring in 36 points in the third stanza as the lead grew to 98-38 with 10 minutes left in the game.

Notre Dame added 18 points in the final frame to come away with the 116-58 victory over the Cougars.

NOTRE DAME STAT OF THE GAME

Notre Dame’s 62-point first half represents the most the Irish have scored in any during the Niele Ivey head coaching era and the most since the Irish scored 72 points in the first half in a win over Valparaiso on Dec. 4, 2016.

NOTRE DAME NUMBERS & NOTES

The 116 points scored rank sixth in program history for points in a game.

The Irish improve to 4-0 against Chicago State in the all-time series

The win gives the Fighting Irish 16 straight victories at home in non-conference regular season play.

With 19 steals, the Irish defense has recorded double-digit steals in back-to-back games to start the 2025-26 campaign.

The 19-steal performance is the most the Irish have posted in a game since recording 21 against Chicago State on Nov. 21, 2023.

ND has recorded 10 or more steals in 46-of-71 games since the beginning of the 2023-24 season.

The 62-point first half is tied for eighth in program history for most points scored by the Irish in a half.

Notre Dame finished the game 31-for-36 from the free-throw line (86.1 percent).

Hidalgo has now recorded 10 career 30+ point games, just one shy of tying Arike Ogunbowale for the program record (11).

Bransford not only recorded her first career double-double but also finished with career highs in points (21) and rebounds (13).

UP NEXT

The Fighting Irish have a midweek matchup against Akron at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 12 inside Purcell Pavilion.

IRISH BATTLE TO THE END IN ACC CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE GAME

CARY, N.C. – It was an absolute battle right to the very end in the 2025 ACC Championship as the No. 2 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (14-1-3, 8-1-1) fell with a final score of 2-2 as the No. 1 Stanford Cardinal (16-1-2, 9-0-1) clinched their title by winning penalty kicks 5-4.

Izzy Engle and Charlie Codd scored the Notre Dame goals in the final 25 minutes of regulation to level the score before heading into double overtime and eventually, penalty kicks. Annabelle Chukwu, Laney Matriano and Ellie Hodsden each recorded an assist for the Irish.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Irish had some early chances, but ultimately the Cardinal struck first as they scored on an attack from the right wing into the bottom left corner of the net to lead 1-0 in the 29th minute.

It was a defensive possession battle between the two squads, but the Cardinal would lead 1-0 heading into the second half.

Stanford came out right away in the second half with another look, scoring in the 47th minute to extend their lead to 2-0.

The last time the Irish were down 2-0 was against No. 5 Florida State on October 9 when the Irish scored four unanswered goals to win it 4-2.

Shortly after, the Irish had a great look from freshman Tessa Knapp about 25 yards out for Notre Dame’s third shot on goal on the day. Knapp had another chance in the 64th minute, but missed just wide right.

The first Irish goal of the day would come from who other than the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, Izzy Engle.

On a clipped pass over the top of the defense from Hodsden, she played the ball just in front of Engle that allowed her to weave past and outrun three defenders and lifted her effort over on-rushing Stanford keeper.

It didn’t take long for the Irish equalizer as Matriano sent it into the box on a corner kick and the Chukwu header fell to the feet of Codd, who sent it into the right upper 90 to tie it at 2-all in the 75th minute.

Battling through the end of regulation, the Irish and Cardinal were tied at 2-all, leading into two 10-minute overtime periods where a golden goal would decide the champion.

With neither team able to capitalize on the two additional overtime periods, the outcome would then be decided on penalty kicks.

Both teams netted three straight to open up the shootout. And with a huge save from Kasica on Stanford’s fifth shot, the Irish title hopes were still alive.

Unable to convert on two of their last three shots, the Irish needed a Stanford miss on the sixth attempt. However, the Cardinal would go on to find the back of the net on the final shot to clinch the title, winning the shootout.

RESILIENT IRISH HOLD OFF NC STATE IN FIVE SETS

RALEIGH, N.C. – The Notre Dame Volleyball team overcame an early deficit Sunday afternoon, taking down NC State in five sets, 21-25, 25-20, 25-21, 18-25, 15-8. The Irish improved to 9-13 on the season and 6-8 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. It’s the fourth road win of the year for Notre Dame.

Sunday marked the first win for the Irish in Raleigh since October 24, 1986 and the first win over the Wolfpack for head coach Salima Rockwell.

Morgan Gaerte was a force to be reckoned with. The sophomore had 21 kills, a career-high seven blocks (three solo) and tied her career-high with four aces. It was her sixth 20 kill game of the season, which is tied for the third-most in program history in a single-season.

Gaerte, for the 22nd-straight game, recorded double-digit kills, putting herself in solo second place in single-season history for Notre Dame. The sophomore is just three away from tying the program record and four games away from potentially breaking it.

Sydney Helmers recorded her third double-double of the season with 14 kills and a career-high 19 digs. Four of her kills game in the fifth set, including the match clincher. The junior also had three service aces and three blocks.

Maya Baker (26 assists) and Lily Fenton (23 assists) led the Irish attack, marking the fifth time this season that the Irish have had two setters tally 20 or more assists in the same game.

Up the middle, Anna Bjork had eight kills on .500 hitting as well as seven total blocks. Grace Langer added six blocks of her own to create a barrier all day for NC State attacks.

The Irish return home to Purcell Pavilion to host 14th-ranked Miami on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. before hosting Florida State Sunday at noon. Admission to all regular season games is free and both games will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra.

How it happened

Set 1

Notre Dame got the opening serve and scored the first two points, including an early service aces from Sydney Helmers

SALENBIEN & TOWERS EARN CAREER HIGHS IN I-69 RIVALRY GAME AS BSU TOPPLES IU INDY, 81-72

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Ball State women’s basketball team (2-0) pulled off the 81-72 interstate rivalry victory Sunday afternoon over IU Indy (1-2) in the last year of the Jungle.

Bree Salenbien and Tessa Towers each turned in a career high 20-point performance. Salenbien also shined with a personal best 12 rebounds as did Towers who pulled down 10 for their first career double-doubles. Karsyn Norman finished the day with 13 points while Grace Kingery rounded out the double digit scoring with 11.

For the game, Ball State out rebounded IU Indy 49-33. The Cardinals were also successful in the paint outscoring the Jaguars 40-24.

After one game under their belt, the Cardinals seemed more comfortable with their ball movement in the first quarter of play against the Jaguars. Norman scored the opening basket to get BSU off on the right foot. Ball State continued to control the tempo of the ball game on both offense and defense which allowed BSU to eventually take a 21-13 edge over IU Indy after the first quarter.

It was a lot of back-and-forth in the second period as the contest continued to be a defensive battle between the interstate rivals. Fortunately, the Cardinals were always one step ahead of the Jaguars eventually building a strong 14-point lead (31-17) at the 5:32 mark. The tables were then turned as the Jaguars closed out the first half with a 14-3 run to cut BSU’s cushion to 34-31 at the break.

After intermission, IU Indy opened with back-to-back baskets to take its first lead of the game, 36-34, but Ashlynn Brooke quickly answered with a 3-pointer to keep the Cardinals atop of the Jaguars. Both squads continued to trade baskets. The up-and-down affair caused unforeseen turnovers and forced shots that kept the contest close. A BSU spark came with 1:37 left in the third after back-to-back baskets from Salenbien making the score 52-47. BSU was able to increase its lead to 57-48 as both teams headed into the final frame.

Ball State held on tight to a 68-62 lead at the media timeout in the fourth quarter of play. It wasn’t easy but it was a gritty win, as Norman downed a 3-pointer to give Ball State enough of a cushion 75-69 with just a minute remaining. Ball State was able to make its free throws down the stretch to claim the victory.

The Ball State women’s basketball team returns to Worthen Arena Wednesday for its home opener against Northern Kentucky at 6:30 pm ET.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Four players recorded double figures to pace the University of Evansville men’s basketball team to a 76-47 victory over Oakland City on Sunday afternoon at the Ford Center.

“Our goal was to learn about ourselves and get better every game,” Purple Aces head coach David Ragland said. “It was good to come home this weekend and have two games this weekend. Being part of Education Day on Friday was memorable for our guys and to bounce back and perform like we did today was good to see.”

For the third game in a row, Trent Hundley tallied nine points while adding six boards. Leif Moeller led the team with seven assists and seven rebounds.

Hughes’ triple capped a 3-for-3 start from the field that gave the Purple Aces an 8-2 lead just over two minutes into the game. The Mighty Oaks countered with a 6-1 run to make it a 9-8 game before a layup by Hughes put UE back in front at 14-8.

Up 14-11 at the 14:25 mark, Evansville scored the next 13 points over the ensuing five minutes to open a 27-11 advantage. The defense held OCU to seven misses in a row while opening the 16-point lead. Trent Hundley had four points during the run before a Kaia Berridge triple completed the run.

Oakland City continued to fight back, utilizing an 11-1 stretch to cut the deficit to just six points with 4:40 left in the period. UE rebounded to push lead back to 13 points at the break as Bryce Quinet hit a triple on UE’s final possession of the half. Connor Turnbull led all players with 10 points in the half.

Out of the break, UE took control with Turnbull converting two baskets to push the lead to 17. Inside the 16-minute mark, AJ Casey’s basket gave Evansville its first 20-point lead at 49-29. With seven minutes on the clock, it was AJ Casey’s 3-pointer that made it a 27-point game at 68-41. The lead for the Aces reached as many as 28 points before the final score finished at 76-47.

Kalik Sharpe and Chris Grubbs led the Mighty Oaks with 10 points each. UE finished the game shooting 49.1% while OCU checked in at 27.1%. Evansville also held the rebounding edge by a 42-35 final.

PURPLE ACES FALL TO 21ST-RANKED IOWA

IOWA CITY, Iowa – 21st- ranked Iowa got off to a hot start on Sunday afternoon and did not look back, downing Evansville by a score of 119-43 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes shot a blistering 64.6% from the field to take the win.

Purple Aces Graduate Assistant Molly Davis was honored in her return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, having been a key piece in Iowa’s back-to-back national championship appearances in 2023 and 2024.

Logan Luebbers Palmer (Union, Ky./Randall K. Cooper) scored in double figures for the seventh time in her career, leading the Aces with 12 points. Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind./Hamilton Heights) added 10 points and tallied a team-high three assists. 12 different players saw the floor for Evansville.

Iowa jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first 2:11 of action, but an and-one by Luebbers Palmer and layups by Runner and Georgia Ferguson (Waterloo, Ontario/Cairine Wilson Secondary School) helped the Aces battle back to make it 11-7. However, a 16-0 run for the Hawkeyes helped the home team build a 29-10 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Luebbers Palmer continued her hot shooting in the second quarter, making two more shots from distance to run her total to the half to three, while freshman Jelena Savic (Melbourne, Australia/Kurunjang Secondary College) scored the first four points of her career. In the final three minutes of the quarter, Iowa used another run to take a 59-22 advantage into halftime.

The third quarter saw another Purple Aces’ freshman enter the scoring column, as Iowa native Sydney Huber (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Mount Vernon) knocked down a three-pointer for her first collegiate basket. However, the Aces were limited to three field goals as Iowa opened up a 90-30 lead.

From there, the Hawkeyes continued to cruise en route to the win. Odessa College transfer Mireia Mustaros (Barcelona, Spain) scored her first points as an Ace in the quarter, knocking down a three-pointer and a free throw to notch her first points at the DI level.

The Aces return to action on Wednesday with another road test, this time at Eastern Kentucky. Tip-off from Richmond, Ky. is set for 6 PM.

USI WOMEN’S SOCCER’S GRAFTON AND THURSTON NAMED TO OVC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer senior defender Charli Grafton and redshirt junior midfielder Emma Thurston were named to the Ohio Valley Conference All-Tournament Team on Sunday.

Grafton and Thurston played a significant role in helping USI Women’s Soccer capture its first-ever OVC Tournament wins against Southeast Missouri State University and Eastern Illinois University and reach the semifinals for the first time since joining the conference in 2022.

The two captains also led a defensive effort, while locking down the middle of the field, that saw the Screaming Eagles post three consecutive shutouts in the tournament, keeping the opposition off the scoreboard for 290 minutes in postseason play. In fact, USI ended the season with its longest defensive scoreless streak of the season, spanning 386 consecutive shutout minutes, dating back to the game against Lindenwood University on October 19.

Offensively, Grafton scored two of USI’s five goals during the OVC Tournament. Both of Grafton’s goals were game-winners and came off set pieces. The first goal was off a corner kick against Southeast Missouri late in the second half, and the second goal was off a short-corner free kick against Eastern Illinois in the first half. Thurston assisted on both of Grafton’s goals. Thurston totaled three assists during the tournament while also recording three shots with two on goal.

At the OVC Tournament, USI went 2-0-1 as the No. 5 seed. The Screaming Eagles opened postseason play with a 2-0 win against eighth-seeded Southeast Missouri. USI then won in the quarterfinals against Eastern Illinois, 3-0, to advance to the second weekend of the tournament. In the semifinals, USI battled top-seeded Tennessee Tech University scoreless through regulation and extra time for 110 minutes to send the match to a penalty-kick shootout. However, Tennessee Tech went on to advance by winning in penalty kicks, 4-3.

USI Women’s Soccer has made the OVC Tournament in each season since joining the conference in 2022. USI has also been among the final six teams reaching at least the quarterfinal round in each of the last three seasons. 2025 marked USI’s deepest run yet as a semifinalist.

RICKETTI RECOGNIZED AS PFL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Valparaiso University football redshirt freshman Ryan Ricketti (Ricky Rover, Ohio / Rocky River) was recognized as the Pioneer Football League Special Teams Player of the Week for his big day in the return game on Saturday vs. PFL preseason favorite San Diego.

Ricketti totaled 198 kickoff return yards on four returns including his second 100-yard kickoff return touchdown of the season. He finished with 256 all-purpose yards, the 13th most nationally in a single game this season as part of a day that also included a team-high six catches for 58 yards, with the six receptions marking a career best. He became the second different Valpo player in program history with multiple kickoff return touchdowns in a season and the third time total that feat has occurred (Bailey Gessinger in both 2016 and 2018).

Ricketti became the first FCS player nationally with multiple 100-yard kickoff return touchdowns in the same season since 2022. He is the only player in FCS with multiple 100-yard kickoff returns this season and one of two players in all of Division-I, joining Notre Dame’s Abraham Williams. His 198 kickoff return yards are the most of any player nationally in FCS this season and the second most in all of Division-I in a single game this season (Western Michigan’s Devin Miles, 218).

Ricketti ranks third in the nation and leads the PFL with 681 combined kick return yards and ranks fifth in FCS in kickoff return average at 30.4. He is one of four players nationally in FCS with multiple kickoff return touchdowns this season.

The Valpo return specialist was previously recognized with Honorable Mention FCS Special Teams Player of the Week and tabbed the PFL’s top freshman for his Week-4 performance, which featured a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown against Western Illinois. This marks the team’s second PFL weekly award this season and first since Week 1, when Gabriel Batres earned the defensive nod.

The Beacons will host Stetson for Senior Day on Saturday at noon. For ticket information, visit tickets.valpoathletics.com.

Head Coach Roger Powell Jr.: Roger Powell Jr. (23-45) is in his third season as the head coach of the Valpo men’s basketball program. After helping guide Gonzaga to a 121-13 record during his four seasons as an assistant coach, Powell returned to Valpo, where he was part of head coach Bryce Drew’s staff from 2011-2016 and led the team to 124 wins in five seasons, including a program-record 30 victories and a National Invitation Tournament (NIT) title game appearance in 2015-16. He was part of head coach Mark Few’s Gonzaga staff as the Bulldogs reached the 2021 national championship game after winning their first 31 games of the season. During Powell’s first season on staff in 2019-20, Gonzaga was 31-2 at the time the NCAA college basketball season was halted due to COVID-19. The Bulldogs reached the Sweet Sixteen in each of his final three seasons on staff, including two Elite Eight appearances and the aforementioned trip to the 2021 national title game. Prior to his arrival at Gonzaga, Powell served as the associate head coach at Vanderbilt University under Bryce Drew from 2016-2019. During his stint as an assistant at Valpo, he was part of four Horizon League regular-season championships in a five-year period while also leading the 2012-13 and 2014-15 squads to Horizon League tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances. A product of Joliet West High School and a native of Joliet, Ill., Powell capped a prolific collegiate playing career at Illinois with a national title game appearance in 2005 before going on to a successful professional playing career. In the second season of the Powell Era in 2024-2025, Valpo over doubled its overall win total from the previous season and doubled its conference win output before earning a Missouri Valley Conference Tournament semifinal berth. The Beacons finished with 15 wins, the team’s highest total since 2019-20.

Series Notes: This will mark the first matchup between these two teams. Valpo last played a member of the Southland Conference on Nov. 19, 2022 vs. Incarnate Word.

Chaney Off the Chain

Valpo freshman Rakim Chaney is off to a strong start to his collegiate career, averaging a team-high 13.5 points per game through the first week of the season.

He looked unfazed in a raucous environment at Rupp Arena in Lexington, tallying a team-high 15 points against the No. 9 Wildcats.

He is also averaging 2.5 steals and 2.5 assists per game.

Through the first week of the season, Valpo has three of the top eight freshmen in the league in scoring average (Chaney, JT Pettigrew and Carter Hopoi).

Chaney’s 15 points at No. 9 Kentucky were the most by a Valpo freshman against a top-10 opponent since Samuel Haanpaa’s 18 on Dec. 2, 2006 at No. 3 Ohio State.

Chaney’s 15-point, five-assist game at Kentucky was just the second instance of a Valpo rookie recording 15 or more points and five or more assists against any opponent since 2014. The other was All Wright with 18&5 on Jan. 18 of last season vs. UIC.

Other Notes Wrapping Up Nov. 7 – No. 9 Kentucky 107, Valpo 59

This marked Valpo’s first game against a top-25 opponent since Nov. 17, 2023 at No. 23 Illinois.

This marked Valpo’s first game against a top-10 opponent since Dec. 7, 2016 at No. 6 Kentucky.

This was Valpo’s 36th all-time game against a top-10 team and 71st against a top-25 opponent.

The Beacons committed just 10 turnovers, but Kentucky shot 54.4 percent to Valpo’s 28.4 percent.

Scouting the Colonels

Dropped each of the first two games of this season-opening multi-team event, falling 77-51 at No. 9 Kentucky and 65-57 at Eastern Illinois.

Nicholls enjoyed a 20-win season in 2024-25 that included a 13-7 mark in Southland Conference play.

Third-year head coach Tevon Saddler was the youngest Division-I head coach in the country at the time of his hire on April 20, 2023.

HOUNDS FINISH SIXTH AT BOB DEL ROSA OPEN, FARNELL CLAIMS 197 TITLE

CLEVELAND, OH – The UIndy wrestling team capped its weekend off with a sixth place team finish at the Bob Del Rosa Open on Sunday.

The Greyhounds sent 20 wrestlers to this year’s edition of the invitational, with seven of those 20 Hounds placing in their respective weight classes, including one champion, freshman Ethan Farnell, who took home the title for the 197 freshman and sophomore division.

Along with Farnell, freshman Chayce Yant (141) and sophomore Brayden Deem (149) both claimed fourth place finishes in their freshman and sophomore divisions. Armen Koltookian (197), Chris Bullock (133), Michael Ortega (165), and Reese Hamblen (157) all earned top six finishes in the open divisions.

INS & OUTS

For the second straight weekend, Farnell (197) led the way for the freshman class, this weekend claiming the title after a perfect 4-0 day with two tech falls and two falls. He used a fall in the second period of his final match to secure a 16-1 win over John Carroll’s Frank Gallo.

“Farnell doubled up this weekend and had a dominant day today in the freshman sophomore division,” head coach Jason Warthan said.

The Hounds had four wrestlers finish in fourth place, Koltookian (197), Bullock (133), Deem (149), and Yant (141). Deem, Koltookian and Yant all went 2-2 on the day. Koltookian won via fall in the second round, while Deem won his second round match via a major decision, and Deem began his day with a tech fall.

Ortega (165) ended with the Hounds’ next best finish, fifth place, after a 3-1 day that saw him win his final three matches by a combined 27 to 12, with two falls and a decision victory.

“Mikey Ortega had another impressive showing,” Warthan said. “He lost his opening match but came back and won the rest of his matches. No one likes to lose but he did a great job of bouncing back and getting the next best thing.”

Redshirt junior, Hamblen (157), was the final Greyhound to place today, earning a sixth place finish where he went 2-2. The highlight for Hamblen’s day was a takedown in the first period of his second match which resulted in a first period pin victory, his first of the season.

“Overall we battled hard and competed well, that’s all we can ask for from the guys,” Warthan said. “The lineup is starting to take shape, and we have three opens before the Midwest Classic and many opportunities to get better.”

UP NEXT

The Greyhounds will stay in the great state of Ohio next weekend for the Findlay Open in Findlay, OH on Saturday Nov. 15, with the event set to begin at 9 a.m.
