Brady Murrietta's silence rounding the bases and his intense stare at St. John Bosco's pitcher after his home run sent a clear message: Don't poke the bear.

Texas dominated Michigan from start to finish in the Fort Worth Regional 3. Junior Madison Booker led the way with 19 points and was named the regional's most outstanding player.

Oscar Cluff scored 21 points, Trey Kaufman-Renn had 20 and No. 18 Purdue topped No. 3 Michigan 80-72 on Sunday for the Big Ten tournament championship.

As both sidelines emptied onto the field for post-game pleasantries, Johnson kept his interaction with LaFleur to a minimum.

The Big Ten Conference announced on Tuesday the opponents new head coach Bob Chesney and the Bruins will face during the 2026 season. Whether the games will be played at the Rose Bowl or SoFi Stadium remains to be determined, but the Bruins will not be suiting up against Curt Cignetti and defending national champion Indiana. UCLA will hard launch the Chesney era on the road against rival California on Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
