The Big 12 loves its basketball.
According to conference commissioner Brett Yormark, the only better league for the sport is the NBA.
Eight Big 12 teams reached the NCAA Tournament last March, with six winning at least one game in the Big Dance and Arizona reaching the Final Four.
With the start of the 2026-27 regular season quickly approaching, the conference has released its preseason media poll. It will serve as our first installment of this year's Big 12 basketball power rankings, which will be updated weekly upon the start of league play in January.
Here's where media members covering the Big 12, including myself, picked the conference's 16 teams to finish this season.

Patriots' Mike Vrabel gets honest about AJ Brown's rusty form in return from injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots finally got their star wide receiver AJ Brown back on the field after missing over a month with an ankle sprain he suffered in the season opener. However, he was far from his best as he finished with just three catches on 10 targets for 27 yards with four drops. He also managed to drop an onside kick at the end of the game that the Pats still recovered to end the game.
Brown himself was critical of his poor performance after the game. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was also honest with his ***** sment of his star receiver's return during the post-game press conference.
"I think he could've probably made a few more plays, come down with a few more plays. He's been out for a while. I know he wanted to do well for his football team. Unfortunately, it wasn't his best effort. I know that and he knows that. We have all the confidence in AJ to finish those plays," Vrabel said.

For the third consecutive offseason, Ohio State's coaching staff underwent a significant change as Ryan Day had to replace one of his coordinators.
And for the second consecutive time, Day looked to the NFL for an answer.
Following Brian Hartline's departure for a Group of Five head coaching opportunity, Day tabbed former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith to take over play-calling duties for a Buckeyes offense headlined by Heisman Trophy hopefuls Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith.
REQUIRED READING: Arthur Smith made his mark in a high-achieving family. Can he leave one at Ohio State?
Smith is the latest big name to come to Columbus to be part of Day's staff, following in the footsteps of former offensive coordinator Chip Kelly — a decision that kick-started this trend as it came when Day gave up his play-calling duties — and Matt Patricia, who willed the Buckeyes' defense into one of the nation's top units last season.

Arsenal Women boss Renee Slegers has confirmed there are no fresh injury concerns ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace.
Slegers says her squad came through their previous game unscathed, although Michelle Agyemang, Katie Reid and Daphne van Domselaar remain unavailable.
"Same players all fit, so all came through the game well," Slegers said. "One more session to go, but the week has been good as well.
"So same players won't be available, that's Mich, Katie and Daphne."
There was positive news on Élisa de Almeida, however, with Slegers confirming she is available for selection.

Tyler Herro and Katya Elise Henry's custody dispute became public in September, but newly reported court records show they had stopped sharing a home long before either parent went to court.
Henry and the former couple's two children moved out of Herro's Miami residence in February 2025, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports. The filing says Henry and the children had lived with Herro from September 2021 through January 2025 before moving into another home a few miles away.
About 18 months later, Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning custody, a parenting plan and financial support for their two children. Herro dismissed his case less than a week later, while Henry continued pursuing hers.
Herro and Henry were still seen arriving together at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July 2026, more than a year after the records indicate they had begun maintaining separate homes.
Herro and Henry both filed petitions on Aug. 20 concerning their two children, a daughter born in 2021 and a son born in 2023. According to TMZ's initial report on the filings, Herro asked the court to establish a parenting schedule and determine his child-support obligation. He also said he had already been voluntarily providing financial support.

It's been over a month since the trade deadline came and went and we're still getting information on a trade that never actually happened. The Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers were very close to getting a deal done that would bring Jacob deGrom to Atlanta but until today, we didn't know who or what Atlanta would be sending in return. The deal got close enough to where it came down to deGrom making a decision with his no-trade clause and that's why he's still in Texas, so we know that the Braves had agreed to trade someone away.
It appears that one of the "who's" would've been Spencer Strider. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com wrote an article about players across baseball who could be on the move via trade in the offseason and one of the names that came up was Strider. Feinsand wasted no time in sharing the details from the trade that never was:
The Braves discussed sending Strider to Texas in a contract swap trade for Jacob deGrom before the Trade Deadline, and although deGrom blocked the deal with his no-trade clause, it's clear that Atlanta is open to moving its former ace.
Feinsand also noted that while the Braves are holding out hope that Strider could help out in the Postseason coming out of the bullpen, they are also keeping their options open and could be trying to find a suitor who believes that they can get Strider back to where he was before while taking some talent for their farm system as well.
Either way, it's definitely intriguing to see that this is where the Braves are at with Strider at this point. If you woke up from a coma in 2022 to learn that the Braves could be shopping Spencer Strider around, you might've figured that it was because his contract demands were too large since he had become such a dominant force on the mound. Instead, Strider has struggled with injuries and inconsistent performances when healthy and the outlook has changed significantly for Strider.

Young left-arm spinner Shree Charani said India's spin bowlers plan their strategy together before matches and then focus on executing it on the field after Indian spinners helped bowl Pakistan out for 55 in their Women's T20 Asia Cup clash.

Charani returned figures of 3/7, while Prema Rawat took 3/9 and Deepti Sharma claimed 2/5 as India's spinners took control of the match. Pakistan were bowled out for their lowest-ever T20I total of 55 before India chased down the target with 68 ***** to spare and registered a seven-wicket win on Saturday.

India had already secured a semifinal place from Group A before the match. They finished top of the group with six points after winning all three games.

Charani, who dismissed Shawaal Zulfiqar, Gull Feroza and Ayesha Zafar, said the team's spin bowlers discuss their plans before every match and then try to follow them on the field.

"In the meeting, we three sit together... Prema, me, Deepti di and Radha (Yadav) di and we discuss what to do (in the match). So, we just try to implement that here (on the field) whatever Deepti and Radha di say," said Charani.
Pakistan had raced to 27 without loss, but Charani struck twice in the sixth over to leave them at 29/3. They could not recover after that and were eventually bowled out for 55.

The 22-year-old is now one wicket away from completing 50 T20I wickets. She said her approach was to keep things simple and concentrate on getting the basics right.

"It's just about myself. Like I just want to focus on my things... I want to do my things correct," she said.

After looking at the pitch and expecting it to help the spinners, Charani said she focused on bowling at the stumps and allowing the pitch to do the rest.

"I just tried to bowl on the stumps. By seeing the pitch, we know it may turn so I just focused on that."

Buffalo Gap won the first two sets then had to overcome a Staunton rally to win in five, 25-21, 25-21, 20-25, 23-25, 15-7, in Shenandoah District volleyball Sept. 3.

Kennedy Bryant led Staunton with nine kills, four blocks and a pair of aces. Faith Lam and Brooke Davenport both had six kills in the loss.
Buffalo Gap coach Elizabeth Ashby said she just told her team before the fifth set to go back to playing how they had been earlier in the match.
"Being positive, playing your game," she said. "We let up a little bit on our hits and I said, 'You've just got to swing.' And we did."

NFL QB pressure index 2026: Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert among QBs with most to prove originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Being an NFL quarterback means constant pressure to succeed.
Every game, from Week 1 onward, will be used as data by fans to measure how good a passer and their team is. With a few bad outings, injury issues, or a failure to live up to high expectations, in the blink of an eye, a starter may become a backup — there are only 32 QB1 spots to go around.
A case can be made that every NFL quarterback has some kind of pressure to succeed in the 2026 season. Even Sam Darnold, fresh off a Super Bowl victory, may be out to prove his 2025 was no fluke. But some quarterbacks have more riding on the upcoming season than others.
Here's a ranking of the nine quarterbacks facing the most pressure to succeed in 2026.

Texas A&M will open up the season against the Missouri State Bears at Kyle Field on Saturday night. It's always difficult to judge a team in these matchups, where talent alone can carry you, but you can still learn a lot about your players.
In this game, I don't think there will be a true X‑factor, but the defensive line needs to show pure dominance, two‑deep, for fans to feel comfortable heading into Week 2 against the Arizona State Sun Devils. It's not completely new faces, but with most of last year's production headed to the NFL, the question is how good this group can actually be in 2026.
Returners T.J. Searcy, D.J. Hicks, and Marco Jones have all flashed high potential, and with the addition of Anto Saka, they now have another legitimate speed rusher off the edge.
They also beefed up the middle by adding C.J. Mims and Angelo McCullom. How much will this unit actually play on Saturday? Who knows, but when they're on the field, it needs to be obvious they are leagues better than the offensive line across from them.
Below is a breakdown of what we would like to see from each of these players.

Several players from around the NFL were dealt a brutal reminder that making a team's initial 53-man roster doesn't guarantee they will remain a member of that team for long.
The NFL processed its waiver claims following its 53-man roster deadline on Monday, Aug. 31. Those claims resulted in a second batch of releases, which contained several more notable releases ahead of the 2026 seasons.
Most surprising among those was the Dallas Cowboys opting to release quarterback Joe Milton after he enjoyed a quality preseason. Even so, he was far from the only potential-packed player, or veteran with starting experience, to hit the open market.
Here's an updated look at the most notable cuts from the NFL's 53-man roster deadline for 2026 – and the waiver period that followed the annual culling.

The Oklahoma Sooners released their first official depth chart for the start of the 2026 college football season. The Sooners will open the season Friday at 7 p.m. against the UTEP Miners, and now we can see what the starting lineup will look like.
The Sooners entered training camp with several position battles underway, and some of those will continue into the season. But it looks like the Sooners have figured out arguably the most important one, the offensive line.
Though the projected starter at center, Jake Maikkula, won't be available for the start of the season, it looks like Oklahoma's found their guy, at least for this week. Ryan Fodje, a former four-star and top 10 offensive tackle in the 2025 recruiting class, will get the start against UTEP.
Fodje started six games for the Sooners as a true freshman, helping Oklahoma at both guard and center last season. Coming into training camp, he looked to be Oklahoma's starting right guard, but flipped to left tackle to fill in for Michael Fasusi, who was limited with an injury. While Fodje was at left tackle, true freshman Noah Best stepped in at right guard and received rave reviews.
Best is locked in as an "or" starter with veteran guard Heath Ozaeta. But the rest of the offensive line is set with Fasusi at left tackle, Eddy Pierre-Louis at left guard, Fodje at center, and E'Marion Harris at right tackle. It's a veteran group that will set the tone for the Oklahoma Sooners' offense in 2026.

The Seattle Seahawks opted to keep just the three running backs during their cut down to their initial 53-man roster on Sunday. Jadarian Price, George Holani, and Emanuel Wilson will be the trio for the early portion of the season, all while Zach Charbonnet recovers from his ACL surgery.
As expected, the Seahawks kept Charbonnet on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the regular season. He will have to miss a minimum of four games before he's eligible to return, so the earliest he could make his debut is Week 5 versus the San Francisco 49ers. It's worth noting, however, that Week 5 and 6 is a Sunday-Thursday short week, so if they want to be safe then his debut could be Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
One thing to note regarding Charbonnet's PUP status is an NFL rule change enacted this season. Charbonnet, whose offseason recovery has seemingly gone smoothly, can have his 21-day practice window activated after the second regular season game is completed. Previously, a practice window couldn't be opened until after the four games were up, so if Charbonnet could be ready to return to practice as early as Week 3.
There's no rush to have Charbonnet available for that 49ers game, but it'd be a full circle moment if his first game back is against the same opponent he scored the only touchdown against in the de facto NFC West ***** le showdown, as well as the same foe in which his season cruelly ended.

DETROIT (AP) — Javier Báez made huge ninth-inning plays in the field and at the plate to set up Kevin McGonigle's game-ending single as the Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 on Saturday.
The Dodgers nearly took the lead in the top of the inning, but with two outs, Báez sprinted over from left field to run down Teoscar Hernández's drive to the deepest part of the ballpark.
He then led off the bottom of the ninth with a double and took third on Max Clark's sacrifice bunt. Jack Dreyer (5-2) intentionally walked Gleyber Torres, but then walked Hao-Yu Lee unintentionally to load the bases.
McGonigle then hit a deep fly to left-center field that hit the warning track and bounced into the Dodgers bullpen. Because the winning run was on third, the play was ruled a single rather than a ground-rule double.
Each starter pitched well, but neither was involved in the decision. Blake Snell allowed one run on three hits in five innings, striking out 10, while Tigers starter Keider Montero gave up one run in 5 1/3 innings.

The Arizona Cardinals wrapped up their preseason tonight in Green Bay and now they prepare for the regular season.
Part of the preparation is getting the roster down to 53, and as that is happening, also working the waiver wire to add players they think can help them in 2026 and maybe even beyond.
A nice explainer from our friends at Buffalo Rumblings:
Players with less than four accrued seasons who are waived are subject to the waiver wire, where any team that claims them picks up their current contract. Any player claimed off the waiver wire must added to the claiming team's active 53-man roster. If they pass through waivers unclaimed, they become free agents and are free to sign with any team's practice squad they choose, which includes their prior team.
The waiver order is set by the original 2026 NFL Draft order for the first three weeks of the season, one that does not include trades, which means the Arizona Cardinals are third in the waiver wire priority.

Kevin Durant on LeBron James joining 76ers: He understands how to put a winning basketball team together. He's been in the league for 24 years. He should know how to understand how to do that.

And they need a connector of guys that kind of somebody that understands like, all right, everybody's not going to average 25 points on this team. But it's going to be nights you going to be the man. It's going to be nights where you got to be the second guy, but it's going to be moving parts throughout the whole season. Everybody's role is going to change. And I think LeBron understands that.

Some courtside trolling by former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom led to a confrontation with Chicago Sky star Natasha Cloud on Sunday night at Wintrust Arena, and the WNBA is taking notice.
Kanter Freedom stepped toward the court and began exchanging words with Cloud, before he was escorted away from his seat.
Ultimately, Kanter Freedom was removed from the arena.

Jessica Pegula rallied from a break down in the final set to topple defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 on Saturday and reach the final of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters.
World number three Pegula needed nearly three hours to dethrone Swiatek as the duo rode a rollercoaster of breaks and re-breaks before the 31-year-old American took a 5-4 lead in the final set after Swiatek saved three break points but double-faulted on a fourth.
Pegula quickly closed it out, firing a service winner on match point to reach Sunday's championship match in the US Open tune-up.
"Crazy match today," Pegula said. "A lot of back and forth, a lot of breaks," Pegula said, "Really windy, kind of odd conditions. I felt like we were playing well and then not playing well.
"It was really tough to kind of get a gauge on the match.

PSG have been improving their attack for much of this transfer window, and they have now been linked with a surprise move for Juventus' Jonathan David.
Juve have told David that he has to leave in this window if he wants to play because he is simply not in the plans of their manager, having shown that he is not good enough for the team.
The attacker has been given plenty of opportunities to show that he can succeed in Spalletti's system, but he has failed to do so. Despite that, he remains adamant that he will not leave and wants to fight for his place.
Juve believes it is a fight he has already lost, and the Bianconeri would prefer to offload him in this window and sign a replacement who can perform well in their team.
Not many clubs from the top leagues have shown interest in David, and he does not fancy playing outside one of them. However, Tuttomercatoweb says PSG have an interest in his signature.

CLEVELAND — Guardians manager Stephen Vogt is using Major League Baseball's Players' Weekend to spread awareness for two charities that are near and dear to his family's heart.
MLB's Players' Weekend will run Aug. 21-23. During these three days, players, coaches and managers are able to utilize custom gear (bats, gloves, cleats, catcher's equipment and more) along with individualized name plates on the backs of jerseys. The Guardians will be in Colorado to play the Rockies during this stretch.
Those partaking in Players' Weekend also have the option of auctioning off custom gear to benefit charities.
Vogt will be using that time to wear custom shoes in an effort to bring awareness to the Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio.
"It's a cool opportunity just to spotlight two unbelievable organizations that help a lot of people in different ways," Vogt said.
