THUNDER THRASH WOLVES IN GAME 5, STORM INTO NBA FINALS

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled to a 124-94 home win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, finishing off the Western Conference finals in Game 5.

Gilgeous-Alexander added eight assists and seven rebounds as Oklahoma City closed out the best-of-seven series.

The Thunder are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 and the fifth time in franchise history. The first three appearances came when the club was based in Seattle.

Oklahoma City will host Game 1 of the Finals against either the Indiana Pacers or the New York Knicks on June 5.

The Wednesday outcome was evident early, as the Thunder buried the Timberwolves under the weight of a stifling defense and playmaking by Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.

Oklahoma City led by 17 after the first quarter and 33 at halftime to put the game away quickly.

The Timberwolves season saw their season end in the Western Conference finals for the second consecutive year.

Gilgeous-Alexander dished out five of his assists in the opening quarter as he again showed why he was the selected the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.

After the Timberwolves scored the game’s first hoop, Gilgeous-Alexander had a hand in all five Oklahoma City baskets during an 11-0 run that started the Thunder’s march toward the blowout.

In that stretch, Gilgeous-Alexander had four assists — three on Holmgren buckets — and hit a finger roll to start the separation.

On Monday, the Timberwolves started Game 4 red hot from the field but ultimately fell 128-126.

On Wednesday, Minnesota struggled on offense from the start, going just 1 for 11 from the field over the first five minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander outscored Minnesota in the first quarter 12-9.

The Thunder finished the first quarter on a 13-2 run, highlighted by another Gilgeous-Alexander assist — this one finding Cason Wallace for a corner 3-pointer at the buzzer to put the exclamation point on a dominant first quarter. The score was 26-9.

It didn’t get much better in the second as Oklahoma City stretched its lead.

Minnesota had more turnovers in the first half (14) than it did field goals (12). The Timberwolves finished with 21 turnovers.

Holmgren amassed 22 points and seven rebounds while Williams had 19 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Julius Randle led the Timberwolves with 24 points while Anthony Edwards scored 19 on 7-of-18 shooting.

TYRESE HALIBURTON, PACERS LOOK TO WRAP UP SERIES AT MSG

Tyrese Haliburton has steered the Indiana Pacers to the doorstep of their first NBA Finals appearance since 2000.

After a historic individual performance in Game 4, Haliburton is focused on ending the Eastern Conference finals in style on Thursday night when the Pacers visit the New York Knicks at famed Madison Square Garden.

“I’m excited about it,” Haliburton said. “It will be a lot of fun. It’s a tough environment to play in. We’ve got to be ready. It’s one more game.”

Haliburton’s outing for the ages included 32 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds without a turnover, the first time a player achieved a 30-15-10-0 statistics line in NBA postseason history. He also made five 3-pointers and had four steals in the 130-121 home triumph.

Haliburton’s propensity for running the floor is proving to be a huge advantage for fourth-seeded Indiana, which has a whopping 65-23 edge in fast-break points in the series.

“He’s a great player. It’s as simple as that,” Knicks star Jalen Brunson said. “It’s on us to try to limit him as best as we can. It’s now time to get back to the drawing board and get ready for Game 5.”

Third-seeded New York’s lone win in the series occurred when it rallied from 20 points down to win Game 3. Karl-Anthony Towns was the captain of the comeback with 20 of his 24 points coming in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks will be watching Towns closely in Game 5 after listing him as questionable due to a left knee injury.

Towns has injured the knee in each of the past two games. In Game 4, Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith collided with him late in the game and the big man was in intense pain. He exited for a short time and was hobbling at the finish.

While there is doubt regarding Towns’ health, he’s pretty certain when asked about the team’s 3-1 series deficit.

“As a team, we all have to do better,” Towns said. “It’s all of us. We have to do a better job to make it difficult for each one of them to score.”

The Knicks also have had a problem with turnovers leading to easy transition points; they’ve committed 60 turnovers in the series, an average of 15 per game.

“As a team, we just need to tighten the screws when it comes to that,” Brunson said. “If they were aggressive turnovers, they’d be different. But passive turnovers is not us.”

Brunson is averaging 33.3 points in the series and has topped 30 three times.

As for Indiana, Pascal Siakam has been a stellar sidekick to Haliburton with two 30-point efforts, including 30 in Tuesday’s win.

But a surprise standout was Bennedict Mathurin, who scored 20 points in just 12-plus minutes off the bench Tuesday.

Mathurin averaged just 3.7 points over the first three games of the series. He said he has been keeping his eye on the task at hand, not his stats.

“I think the goal is pretty clear for us,” Mathurin said. “Everyone wants to win a championship, but you have to be willing to do the right things. I think (Tuesday night) was a step in the right direction.”

Nesmith sprained his right ankle in Game 3 and is once again listed as questionable. He was cleared a little more than an hour before tipoff of Game 4 and contributed 16 points.

Indiana also has won six consecutive road playoffs as they look to close out the series in the rabid New York atmosphere.

Haliburton isn’t worrying about following up an epic one-of-a-kind outing with something similarly special.

“I’m just trying to play the right way,” Haliburton said. “I just want to impact winning.”

NHL PLAYOFFS

PANTHERS RALLY PAST CANES, CLINCH ANOTHER CUP APPEARANCE

Carter Verhaeghe scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and the Florida Panthers clinched their spot in the Stanley Cup Final with a 5-3 win against the host Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday.

Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett each had a goal and an assist for the Panthers, who won the series 4-1 to earn their third straight appearance in the finals. Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves.

Sebastian Aho scored twice and Frederik Andersen made 17 saves for the Hurricanes.

Verhaeghe put Florida in front 4-3 at 12:21 of the third period. He took a pass through the crease from Aleksander Barkov and roofed it over Andersen.

Bennett scored an empty-net goal with 54 seconds remaining to provide the final score.

Seth Jarvis tied it at 3 at 8:30 of the third when he collected the puck in front of the net and lifted it over Bobrovsky’s blocker.

Down by two after one, the Panthers scored three unanswered goals to go ahead 3-2 in the second period.

Tkachuk got the rally started on the power play at 7:23 when he got his stick on Aaron Ekblad’s shot from above the slot and tipped it past Andersen’s glove to cut it to 2-1.

Evan Rodrigues tied it 30 seconds later. He drove to the net and redirected a feed from Bennett through the five-hole on Andersen.

Anton Lundell put Florida ahead 3-2 at 11:59 following a Carolina icing. After he won the draw, he went to the net and tipped Brad Marchand’s feed through the crease over Andersen’s left arm.

Aho capitalized on a turnover by Florida to give Carolina a 1-0 lead at 4:39 of the first period. He intercepted a pass by Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling in the neutral zone and took off on a breakaway, putting a wrist shot under Bobrovsky’s glove.

Aho put the Hurricanes up by a pair late at 18:54. He picked up the puck in the neutral zone and took it to the top of the right circle before wiring a snap shot past Bobrovsky blocker side.

Florida will the winner of the Edmonton-Dallas series, in which the Oilers lead 3-1 heading into Thursday night’s Game 5. The Panthers won the Cup over Edmonton last season in seven games.

OILERS FORWARD ZACH HYMAN LIKELY TO MISS REST OF PLAYOFFS AFTER GETTING HURT IN GAME 4 AGAINST STARS

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers will likely be without hard-hitting forward Zach Hyman for the remainder of the playoffs because of an undisclosed injury to his right arm, coach Kris Knoblauch announced Wednesday.

Without providing details on the nature of the injury, Knoblauch said Hyman was scheduled to have surgery and was “most likely done” for the remainder of the postseason.

Hyman, who leads the NHL playoffs with 111 hits, was hurt midway through the first period of a 4-1 win over Dallas in Game 4 of the Western Conference final series on Tuesday night. The injury occurred at Edmonton’s blue line, when he out-stretched his arms to brace for what appeared to be a glancing hit from Stars forward Mason Marchment.

Hyman immediately dropped his stick, and was favoring his right arm as he left the ice and made his way up the tunnel.

Edmonton leads the series 3-1 with Game 5 at Dallas on Thursday night.

The 32-year-old Hyman is in his fourth season with Edmonton, and ranks sixth on the team with 11 points (five goals, including a game-winner, and six assists) in 15 playoffs games. Two of his goals came in a 6-1 win over Dallas in Game 3 on Sunday.

One replacement option for the Oilers is turning to veteran forward Jeff Skinner, who has been a healthy scratch since the 15-year veteran had an assist in making his NHL playoff debut in a 6-5 loss to Los Angeles in Game 1 of Edmonton’s opening-round series.

“It’s a big loss,” teammate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said of Hyman following the game. “He’s a big part of our team, on and off the ice, the way he does things. You’ve seen his physicality.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

MLB ROUNDUP: BREWERS DOWN RED SOX IN 10 AGAIN

Caleb Durbin’s sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning capped a two-run rally and gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-5 comeback win over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

The Brewers, who got a home run from Jake Bauers, swept the three-game series, winning their second consecutive game in 10 innings and claiming their fourth straight overall.

It was the Red Sox’s fifth consecutive loss. Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu hit home runs for Boston.

Milwaukee tied the game 5-5 on a throwing error by second baseman Kristian Campbell on a fielder’s choice grounder by Isaac Collins. Campbell’s throw home was to the first base side, allowing designated runner Daz Cameron to score and left runners at second and third with none out.

ASTROS RIGHT-HANDER RONEL BLANCO IS SET FOR SEASON-ENDING TOMMY JOHN SURGERY

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston right-hander Ronel Blanco will have season-ending Tommy John surgery next week.

The team made the announcement Wednesday after Blanco got a second opinion. He was placed on the injured list last week with inflammation in his throwing elbow, a few days after his last start on May 17.

“I know how hard he’s worked to get to this point and it stinks,” manager Joe Espada said. “So the goal is now to get him healthy, get him back at some point next season.”

Blanco is the second Astros starter this month to have to undergo Tommy John surgery after they announced on May 18 that right-hander Hayden Wesneski would need it.

Espada said it’s a trying time for his team, which also is without right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, who has been out since April after breaking his right thumb in a batting practice mishap. They also are missing right-handers Luis Garcia and Cristian Javier, who are both still recovering from Tommy John surgery.

“It’s very, very hard,” Espada said. “We went through it last year. But as a team and as a leader of this team, I got to keep these guys focused on the goal … and this news means we gotta pick each other up and we’ve gotta find someone else. Somebody will come up and step up and pick these innings up.”

The 31-year-old Blanco was 3-4 with a 4.10 ERA in nine starts this season.

COLLEGE SPORTS

SEC’S SPRING MEETINGS: THE FUTURE OF COLLEGE SPORTS IS IN THE BALANCE AT FLORIDA RESORT

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Nothing less than the future of college sports is being hashed this week out in conference rooms spread throughout a sprawling seaside resort in Florida.

These are the Southeastern Conference’s annual spring meetings — a gathering of school presidents, athletic directors and coaches. It might be argued that the 2025 affair carries more weight than it ever has.

Among the topics are the future of the College Football Playoff, the SEC’s own schedule, the transfer portal and the NCAA itself. All are influenced by the fate of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit settlement that hovers over almost every corner of college athletics.

As a reminder of what’s at stake, a handful of football coaches detailed the uncertainties they faced with the start of practice closing in, one of which is still not knowing how many players they’ll be able to suit up for the upcoming season.

“It’s challenging when you’re trying to figure out what you can do for football camp on July 30th, when we really don’t have much of a resolution of what that’s going to look like,” Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said.

Some of the topics being discussed this week and the SEC’s role in sorting them out:

College Football Playoff

The SEC and Big Ten will decide whether to expand the CFP from 12 to 14 or 16 teams, and will ultimately have the final say on how many automatic bids they and other conferences will receive. Among the proposals is one in which those two conferences would receive four automatic bid, and another that allots one automatic bid to five conferences and 11 at-large slots.

“The best system with 16 should be the 16 best,” said Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, a critic of the system last year when his team was left out of the first 12-team field. “I don’t know exactly how that’s figured out”

The Big 12 and Atlantic Coast conferences, which are the other two members of the Power Four, will be able to offer their input — but that’s all it is — along with the rest of the smaller conferences who are involved in the CFP structure.

Asked about the relationship with his fellow commissioners, the SEC’s Greg Sankey relayed a recent conversation he had with one of his predecessors, Roy Kramer, who had his share of contentious arguments with leaders of other conferences.

“He said, ‘We’d walk out of some of those rooms, and we weren’t going to talk to each other for a year. We hated each other, but we always figured a way out,’” Sankey said. “I take great comfort in that. And I take the responsibility to figure that out.”

At stake is not only what the six seasons starting in 2026 will look like, but — if the SEC and Big Ten create an unrepairable rift with the other Power Four leagues — what college football might become once ESPN’s $7.8 billion contract to televise the games ends after the 2031 season.

The SEC’s decision on whether to add a ninth league game and a possible shift from a conference title game to a series of “play-in” games for newly created automatic qualifying spots are also related to the CFP’s next format.

The transfer portal

If only there weren’t that little problem of the “student” in “student-athlete,” some of the decisions about the transfer portal would be so much simpler.

Because schools try to sync the timing of the window when players can leave one school for another with the academic calendar, football finds itself having to choose between a window that opens during the playoff — around the time the spring semester kicks off — or one that opens in the spring and predates the fall semester.

The playoff option might be more convenient for some coaches, who could build their roster and do offseason workouts with those players from January through the spring. But that could lead to a repeat of some of the awkward moves from last season, with players on teams contending for a title leaving for better offers.

“It’s really hard to be playing in a championship setting and have to be dealing with that,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “When I brought that up as a complaint or a problem, it was told to me, ‘There’s no crying from a yacht.’”

Ultimately, members of the American Football Coaches Association agreed that January is the way to go. The NCAA will ultimately make this decision, likely with heavy input from the new entity being formed by the Power Four conferences that will run key aspects of college sports.

The NCAA’s future

Most people at these meetings agree that the SEC isn’t looking to break away from the NCAA completely.

Then again, Sankey said, “I’ve shared with the decision-making working group (at the NCAA) that I have people in my room asking, ‘Why are we still in the NCAA?’”

This has lent urgency to the proposals being considered for even more autonomy for the Power Four, who are looking to streamline decision-making and put the most important topics — finances, litigation and infractions not related to the settlement — in their hands.

The current proposal for a slimmed-down board of directors would give the four biggest conferences enough voting power to total 65% of the vote even if the other nine board members all disagreed. It does not give the Power Four enough voting power to pass a measure if one of the four dissents.

That might not be enough.

“I think 68% is a number that’s been on our mind, because you can’t just have someone walk away at that level among four and everything stops,” Sankey said of a formula that would give three of four conferences the voting power to pass legislation. “We need to talk through those things in depth.”

INDIANA PACERS

GAME PREVIEW: PACERS VS KNICKS (GAME 5)

One more win, and the Indiana Pacers will advance to the 2025 NBA Finals.

The Pacers (3-1) can wrap-up their seven-game Eastern Conference Finals series with the New York Knicks (1-3) as soon as Game 5 on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.

Indiana has never led a conference finals 3-1 in its previous nine appearances, and the lone season the Pacers made the NBA Finals, in 2000, the Blue & Gold beat the Knicks in six games after splitting their first four contests.

On Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers bounced back from a disappointing Sunday loss by hanging a 130-121 win on the Knicks in Game 4.

Pacers All-NBA point guard Tyrese Haliburton put on an all-time performance in the win, finishing with 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, four steals and zero turnovers for the second playoff triple-double of his career.

In addition to being the only Pacers player in history to record multiple triple-doubles in the playoffs, Haliburton is now also the only player in NBA playoffs history to record 30 or more points, 15 or more assists, and 10 or more rebounds without a turnover in a postseason game.

Through four games, Haliburton is averaging 24.3 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds per game which would put him in strong contention for the Eastern Conference Finals MVP should the Pacers advance.

On top of Haliburton’s dominant Game 4 performance, Pascal Siakam chipped in a huge 30 points and Bennedict Mathurin scored 20 points off the bench in just 12 minutes and 29 seconds of action.

Indiana led by 11 going into the fourth quarter before putting on the finishing touches in the final minutes, unlike Game 3 where the Knicks overcame a 10-point deficit in the final 12 minutes.

Jalen Brunson shot 9-for-19 for 31 points to top the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points and 12 rebounds and OG Anunbody supplied 22 points.

Probable Starters

Pacers: G – Tyrese Haliburton, G – Andrew Nembhard, F – Aaron Nesmith, F – Pascal Siakam, C – Myles Turner

Knicks: G – Jalen Brunson, G – Mikal Bridges, F – OG Anunoby, F – Karl-Anthony Towns, C – Mitchell Robinson

Last Meeting

May 27, 2025: No crazy comebacks were in the cards in Game 4, as the Pacers handled the Knicks 130-121 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Pacers led 69-64 at halftime before boosting the lead to 11 points heading into the final frame.

While the Knicks tried to chip away late, cutting it to six points with 3:17 remaining, buckets by Tyrese Haliburton and Obi Toppin and free throws by Bennedict Mathurin and Pascal Siakam ultimately sealed the game down the final stretch.

Indiana outshot New York 51.1 to 46.6 percent in the game and made 33 of 39 free throws, while the Knicks went 27-for-32 from the line.

The Knicks won the rebounding margin 44-33, but the Pacers finished with 11 turnovers to New York’s 11 giveaways and won the fastbreak points 22-9.

Haliburton finished with an outlandish statline of 32 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds and no turnovers, Siakam registered 30 points, Mathurin supplied 20 points off the bench, and Aaron Nesmith added 16 points.

Jalen Brunson topped the Knicks with 31 points on 9-for-19 shooting, Karl-Anthony Towns logged 24 points and 12 rebounds, adn OG Anunoby added 22 points.

Noteworthy

Tyrese Haliburton is two made 3-pointers away from passing George Hill (90) for third on the Pacers’ all-time list for threes made in the playoffs.

New York is 3-5 at Madison Square Garden in the postseason.

The Pacers are 29-23 against the Knicks all-time in the playoffs.

Just 13 teams in NBA history have ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the playoffs.

Myles Turner has 113 blocks in his playoff career, which ranks him third in Pacers history. Just Dale Davis (119) and Jermaine O’Neal (120) remain in front of him.

INDY ELEVEN

RECAP-IND 4:4 HFD

Indianapolis – Indy Eleven forward Romario Williams scored his second goal of the night in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time off an assist from Elliot Collier to give the Boys in Blue a 4-4 draw vs. Hartford Athletic at Carroll Stadium.

Defender Josh O’Brien started the sequence with a run up the left sideline, touching it inside the area to Collier, who centered a through ball to Williams, who finished with a left-footed laser into the left corner of the net.

It was the second goal in stoppage time for Williams in the match. He ignited the Indy Eleven comeback from a 3-1 deficit in the second minute of first-half stoppage time with his first goal of the season. Captain Aodhan Quinn recorded an assist in his fourth consecutive USL Championship match, one shy of his career high of five in 2021 when he played for Phoenix Rising FC. Quinn played a free kick from the right side toward the far post, with Williams heading it home.

For Williams, it is his first brace as a member of the Boys in Blue. He moved up two spots into a tie for 17th on the USLC all-time list for regular season goals with 62. Williams is seventh all-time in Strike Rate for 50+ Regular Season Goals with his 62 goals coming in 153 appearances.

Quinn leads Indy Eleven with four assists this season, with all of them coming in the last four USLC matches. He is fourth on the USLC all-time list with 54 career assists, one behind Danny Barrera. Quinn has 110 career goal contributions, ranking 23rd all-time with 56 career goals.

Just 15 seconds into the second half, midfielder Jack Black scored off an assist from forward Maalique Foster to tie the match at 3-3. Foster dribbled up the right sideline and executed a give-and-go with Bruno Rendon, cutting a centering pass back sharply to Blake, who delivered a one-touch finish into the right corner of the goal. It was Blake’s second goal this season and the 34th in his USLC career. Foster is now second on the Boys in Blue with two assists.

Indy Eleven took an early 1-0 lead in the 14th minute. Midfielder James Murphy initiated the scoring sequence with a beautiful curling free kick into the area that defender James Musa headed, but it was stopped with a diving save. Musa’s rebound attempt was partially blocked into the right post. While he was still on the ground, Musa got a piece of the ball, and it deflected toward the center of the goal where defender Ben Ofeimu finished it with a quick left foot. It was the first goal of the season for Ofeimu and the second in his Boys in Blue career, with the first coming vs. Hartford Athletic last season.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS

SOUNDS SNAP INDIANS EIGHT-GAME HOME WINNING STREAK

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Indians scored multiple runs in three separate frames, but it was not enough to overcome a pair of four-run innings from the Nashville Sounds as they dropped Game 2 of their six-game set, 9-6, on Wednesday night at Victory Field.

Nashville (32-20) came out of the gates swinging with five of their first six batters hitting safely to manufacture a four-run first frame. Nashville added a run in the second inning with a pair of hits and capped their scoring in the fourth inning with a three-run homer from Bobby Dalbec and an RBI single from Eddie Rosario, tagging Thomas Harrington (L, 2-5) with all nine runs.

Indianapolis (28-23) scored two runs in three innings to work their way back in the contest. In the third, Brett Sullivan reached on a single and was brought around to third on a Billy Cook double. Sullivan scored and Cook moved up on a balk, and Cook eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly from Nick Gonzales. Gonzales and Jack Suwinski reached on singles in the sixth and were brought around to score on a Liover Peguero double off starter Bruce Zimmermann (W, 3-3). The Indians capped their scoring in the eighth as Peguero drove in his third run of the game with an RBI groundout and Matt Fraizer tallied the Indians’ second sacrifice fly of the game to plate a sixth run.

Drake Fellows, Dauri Moreta, Hunter Stratton, Yohan Ramírez and Eddy Yean combined for 5.1 scoreless innings in relief of Harrington, allowing just five hits while striking out seven.

All nine Indians batters recorded a hit in the contest, including multiple hits from major league rehabber Nick Gonzales. Nick Yorke extended his active hitting streak to seven games dating back to Game 1 of a doubleheader on May 22 at Toledo.

The Indians and Sounds resume their six-game set from Victory Field at 6:35 PM on Thursday night. Right-hander Carmen Mlodzinksi (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his second start of the season for Indy while the Sounds will toss fellow right-hander Carlos Rodriguez (3-1, 1.99 ERA).

INDIANA VOLLEYBALL

GAINBRIDGE FIELDHOUSE TO HOST MONON SPIKE MATCH

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Volleyball in Indiana will take center stage at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis as the state’s two premier programs meet for the 45th edition of the Monon Spike Match on Thursday, October 16th. Indiana will be the designated home team in the first meeting of the year between the two sides.

“We are honored to be playing a match this season at Gainbridge Arena,” head coach Steve Aird said. “I felt it was a great opportunity for our program, great for the sport and just the right thing to do. We invite Hoosier fans from all over to attend the match before homecoming weekend and a home football victory.”

Gainbridge Fieldhouse – home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and WNBA’s Indiana Fever – is set to become the new epicenter of volleyball in the Hoosier state. The IHSAA Girls’ Volleyball State Finals will move to the arena this November for the first time ever.

As the sport of volleyball continues to grow at the collegiate level, a number of programs around the country have moved big games to basketball arenas. Wisconsin and Marquette will meet again at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee this season while Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center will host the NCAA Women’s National Championship game in 2025.

IU has struggled in the all-time series against Purdue but it did win the last Monon Spike Match when it was the designated home team. Former All-American setter Camryn Haworth had a near triple-double in 2023 when the Hoosiers snapped a long losing streak to their in-state rivals.

The two teams will play their second match of the season on Saturday, November 29th at Purdue’s Holloway Gymnasium. Last year’s contest in West Lafayette was played in Mackey Arena and saw over 14,000 fans fill the gym for the rivalry game.

Ticket sales and information will be announced at a later date.

BUTLER WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

BUTLER WOMEN’S BASKETBALL KIDS DAY GAME TO TIP OFF 2025-26 REGULAR SEASON

Butler Women’s Basketball will tip off the 2025-26 regular season Monday, Nov. 3, hosting the program’s annual Kids Day Game in an early tip. Wright State is the opponent who will visit Hinkle Fieldhouse.

The game is in conjunction with the NCAA’s educational program centered around literacy and reading to achieve.

Last year’s Kids Day Game saw 2,941 fans at Hinkle Fieldhouse for an early tip with many coming from local elementary and middle schools. It was the first of three times last season that the single-game attendance record for Butler women’s basketball was broken.

Additional games on Butler’s non-conference schedule will be announced soon.

Wright State is a familiar foe for the Bulldogs as the two programs were members of the Horizon League/Midwestern Collegiate Conference together for nearly two decades. They have played 47 times previously, but not since the 2015-16 season.

Butler enters the 2025-26 season off an appearance in the WNIT. Coach Austin Parkinson and his staff have signed seven transfers who will join the Bulldog program for the upcoming campaign. Lily Zeinstra, who started 22 of the team’s 34 games a season ago and made 41 percent of her attempts from three-point range, is the top returning scorer for the Bulldogs.

Season tickets for the 2025-26 basketball season are on sale now. The Bulldogs will once again host nine BIG EAST rivals at Hinkle Fieldhouse, including national champion UConn. Fans can email tickets@butler.edu or call the ticket office at 317-940-3647 for more information on securing season tickets.

SOUTHERN INDIANA MEN’S BASKETBALL

USI SIGNS THOMAS FOR 2025-26

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the signing of guard Trey Thomas for the 2025-26 season.

“Pleased to welcome Trey (Thomas) to our USI Basketball family,” said USI Head Coach Stan Gouard. “Trey is an incredibly efficient basketball player as evidenced by his statistics this past season at Bethune-Cookman (University), where he was named a First Team All-SWAC, and led his team in nearly every offensive statistical category.

“He’s a prolific scorer who isn’t afraid of taking the big shot, and will impact our team immediately,” continued Gouard. “Trey’s playing experience will provide a tremendous foundation for him as he takes the next step in his basketball journey here at USI. We look forward to Trey bringing his talents to the program.”

Thomas is transferring to USI after spending last year with Bethune-Cookman University. He posted 16.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game for the Wildcats, appearing in 33 games, making 29 starts, in 2024-25.

The 2024-25 first-team All-SWAC honoree posted a season-high 31 points versus the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff; grabbed a season-best 10 rebounds at Alabama State University; and dished a season-high six assists versus Jackson State University last year.

Thomas started his collegiate career at Hampton College in 2022-23, playing two seasons for the Pirates. He appeared in 28 games over two seasons, averaging 5.3 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. The Washington, D.C. native scored a two-year high 17 points against Hofstra University in 2023-24.

Prior to starting his collegiate career, Thomas lettered in basketball at Spire Institute (Geneva, Ohio). The 6-2 guard also played for Wise High School (Upper Marlboro, Maryland), where he was the 2020 Prince George’s County Player of the Year.

The USI Screaming Eagles are a member of the Ohio Valley Conference and will be NCAA Tournament eligible in 2025-26 following the completion of the accelerated transition from Division II. USI has reached the OVC Championship in two of the first three seasons of Division I action.
