Want to second this for student media. It’s already enough of a stretch to ask professors to miss a single Friday class to make it to UCLA for a weekend series, now add on a day on both ends to try and make it to Nebraska? Impossible

Three years ago, I took a position as a broadcaster for a summer baseball team in its second year. Since then, all that’s happened is we hired the biggest intern team in franchise history, exponentially grew our social media following, and created something special. #RollDads24

I was always told about the work experience, getting to broadcast games, follow a team. But the connections I’ve made off the field, the people who’s stories I get the privilege to share and be a part of, that’s what I’m most grateful for. So excited for the upcoming season.

Would be a huge bonus to an Oregon team struggling with guard depth. Williams holds the record for threes in a game at Syracuse (8) and is a career 38 percent three point shooter.

Kelly Graves says the Ducks intend to take advantage of the current temporary restraining order that would allow two-time transfer Priscilla Williams to play. "As soon as I get word from our compliance she's good to go, she'll play in these three games over this 14 days."

End H1: Maybe the best half of the season for Oregon. The Ducks shoot 56 percent from the field and 71 percent from three while holding the Cowgirls to 30 and 23 percent respectively. Oklahoma State never lead in the first half. It's an eight point lead after 20 minutes of play.
