Other B1G conference games 2025-26

There's no shame getting creamed by UCLA. There's no expectation to make the Elite Eight, and UCLA is a Final Four contender.

The goal is to make the NCAA tourney this season. The medium-term goal should be to become a perennial or nearly perennial NCAA team with Sweet Sixteen aspirations. That's the next step.
Yep. I'm going into it thinking that it'll be a huge moral victory if we keep their margin to 15 or below. Time to flex those defensive muscles as we're one of the best defenses in the Big Ten!

We’re the best defense in the nation!

UCLA in on another level lol
Interesting team though; top 6 players are Grad or Seniors. I was looking at the 2026 ESPN recruiting page and don't see any top 100 players heading to UCLA next year. I wonder if they will turn into a portal program? Yes, rankings don't mean much, but it just stood out to me.
 

Was anyone watching the game on Big10+ yesterday and hear this, they said USC is going to get the #1 high school girls recruit for next year. The announcers said that would make it three years in a row with the top recruit from high school. How is USC doing this?

...and next year's recruit is from Ohio, right under Kevin McGuff's nose. The really interesting thing is all three of those number one recruits-in-a-row are guards.

Juju will be back next year. Will there be enough basketballs for the 3 of them?
 

Might be a case of follow the money. That women’s program has a fair amount of famous alumni that have done pretty well for themselves.
