You know all about the Power 6 conferences in college basketball. You hear about those more than any other, and those groups often dominate the March Madness conversation. There are 31 other conferences out there, however, and our goal is to get you up to speed on the teams, players and fights in the standings to know before the conference tournaments, Selection Sunday and the official start of March Madness. It’s time for you to get to know a mid-major: this time, it’s the Big West. The Big West name works in a couple of different ways. For one, most of it is located in California, which is about as big and west as you can get — for the purposes of this wordplay, Alaska is more like the big northwest. Hawaii is there, too, and while that isn’t big, it’s more west than the rest. While there have been plenty of other non-California schools in the Big West over the years and decades, in the present, it’s all California besides Hawaii. And next year, it will be all California besides Utah Valley, but that’s a 2026-2027 discussion. As of now, there are 11 teams in the conference, and the top eight will qualify for the Big West conference tournament in March. The top two seeds receive byes straight to the semifinals, awaiting whichever teams come out of the battles of the first two rounds, while seeds three and four get a pass to the quarterfinals. In both men’s and women’s basketball, the automatic bid has been the only way into March Madness over the last three years. Given the makeup of the conference in 2025-2026, that is unlikely to change, either, but that isn’t the same thing as saying that we already know who is going to represent the conference in March. That is an open question for both the men and women. Big West — Men’s College Basketball Leaders: Hawaii and UC Irvine are tied at 10-4 atop the Big West, and have already played each other twice: the Rainbow Warriors won the first matchup by the narrow score of 67-66, and the Anteaters took the second in overtime, 87-76. Behind these two in the standings is UC Santa Barbara, at 10-5, Cal State Northridge (9-5), UC Davis (9-6), Cal State Fullerton (8-7), UC San Diego (8-7) and Cal Poly (7-8). The other teams — all below the Big West tournament qualification as of now — are Long Beach State (4-10), UC Riverside (3-12) and Cal State Bakersfield (2-12). The lone top-100 team in the NCAA Evaluation Tool is Hawaii, just sneaking in at 99th. UC Irvine is 119th, UC San Diego 126th, UC Santa Barbara 135th, rounding out the top-150 teams. Hawaii has four of the conference’s top-20 players in Player Efficiency Rating (PER), with senior center and seven-footer Isaac Johnson second at 25.6, senior guard Quandre Bullock (18.2), senior forward Harry Rouhliadeff (18.1) and senior forward Gytis Nemeiksa (17.0) 15th, 17th and 18th in PER — no one else in the conference has more than three (UC San Diego has the 4th, 14th and 20th players), while UC Irvine has two. Top-rated senior forward Kyle Evans (26.5) sophomore guard Jurian Dixon, at 19th (16.5). Hawaii, UC Irvine and UC San Diego are much closer together in KenPom, at 103, 115 and 118, respectively, with Hawaii’s defense being the reason the Rainbow Warriors are first up. While adjusted for strength of schedule Hawaii doesn’t stack up against the competition, on the season it has allowed 99.9 points per 100 possessions, the 36th-best Defensive Rating in Division I. The offense, however, comes in at 216th. UC Santa Barbara is best in class there, at 70th with 116.3 points per 100 possessions, basically making it the opposite of Hawaii because of its own defensive issues. Given the stacking at the top and the relative closeness of these teams in NET and KenPom, just who will emerge from the Big West tournament is unclear. Hawaii and UC Irvine have the best chance through Feb. 17, however, almost entirely because of seeding: getting a pass right to the semifinals as one of the top two seeds is the path of least resistance, and that is going to matter in a conference where so many teams stack up well against each other. Big West – Women’s College Basketball Leaders: Things are a little less clustered, though not entirely so, on the women’s side of the Big West. UC San Diego is in first at 13-2, with 12-2 UC Irvine holding the second seed. UC Davis is half-a-game back at 12-3, with Cal State Fullerton 11-4. Some space begins to open up for the teams looking at byes, however, as UC Santa Barbara is two games back at 9-6 and Hawaii 8-6. Then the last two teams currently qualifying for the Big West tournament are the under-.500 UC Riverside (6-9) and Cal State Northridge (4-10). Cal State Bakersfield and Long Beach State are both 2-12, while Cal Poly is 1-14. UC Irvine is in bubble territory, at 71st in NET: it’s the lone school in the conference with that designation. UC San Diego might be first in the conference, but NET has it 132nd overall. UC Santa Barbara (143), UC Davis (159), Hawaii (166) and Cal State Fullerton (198) are all within the top-200 in the NCAA Evaluation Tool. After that, the rest of the teams are in or near the bottom-100 in Division I. So, plenty of competition at the top, even if UC Irvine sticks out more than the rest as a potentially genuine tourney-caliber team, but it gets thin. The Anteaters are the lone team in the Big West with an Offensive Rating putting them at over 100 points per 100 possessions (100.34). UC Davis is next up, at 93.33, and again, it thins out in a hurry. Hawaii has the 91st-best Defensive Rating, however, best in the conference, at 87.91 points per 100 possessions. UC Irvine is right behind it, then UC San Diego, so it’s not much of an advantage — there is a reason the Anteaters are on top in more ways than one, basically. UC Irvine is 22nd in made 3-pointers per game in D-I women’s basketball, with 8.76, and 26th in 3-point shooting percentage at 35.8%. It’s a top-100 rebounding school, too, and while it doesn’t stack up fantastically defensively against the larger Division I landscape, within the Big West its 53.1 points per game allowed is the best mark in the conference. UC Riverside’s Hannah Wickstrom is a legitimate scoring threat, currently sixth in D-I at 23.2 points per game. She’s also first in PER, and it isn’t close — 35.2 to Cal State Fullerton’s Cristina Jones, at 28.4. (Jones, in addition to being one of D-I’s best thieves, is scoring 16.5 points per game as a freshman guard while pulling down 9.4 rebounds). It hasn’t helped UC Riverside to a great record, but the presence of the star sophomore guard and a potential big scoring game does make the Highlanders a potential threat in every conference tourney game regardless. Then there is Megan Norris, out of UC Davis: the 6-foot-3 senior center is third in all of Division I in rebounds per game, but she’s also managed 12.6 points, 2.6 assists, over a steal and 1.5 blocks per game, and is seventh in the Big West in PER, as well.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

We have tragic news to report from the world of music today.
Lil Poppa — the up-and-coming rapper out of Jacksonville, Florida — has passed away.
He was just 25 years old.
Word of the artist’s passing comes courtesy of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office in Georgia.
A spokesperson for the ME reportedly confirmed the news to TMZ on Wednesday.
Rapper Trap Beckham later verified that report in a Facebook post:
“This one hit different. RIP to the chosen one,” Beckham wrote.
“The city is truly not the same. @lilpoppa been a real one. A talent that most of seen from the jump. DUVAL LEGEND.”
No cause of death has been revealed at this time, but we will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
News of Poppa’s passing comes just days after he released a new song, titled “Out of Town Bae.”
Less than a week old, the music video for the song has already racked up nearly a quarter million views on YouTube alone.
Poppa was signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group (CMG), and he’s released several hit songs over the last few years, including “Love & War,” “Mind Over Matter,” and “HAPPY TEARS.”
His latest album “Almost Normal” was released in August of last year.
“Poppa tell me it ain’t true,” wrote one devastated Instagram follower.
“Poppa please say something this can’t be happening,” another wrote.
“You ain’t leave me like this … ain’t NO WAY,” a third commented.
“PLEASE CLEAR THE RUMORS,” a fourth commenter begged.
Sadly, it appears that the rumors have now been confirmed, and Lil Poppa is no longer with us.
He is just one of several rappers who have tragically died young in the past year.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones as they begin to try and process this tragedy.

The Republican battle to become Texas’ next attorney general has turned into a MAGA purity test, with major implications for the future of the GOP after President Donald Trump leaves office.
Rep. Chip Roy, a well known Freedom Caucus rabble-rouser and hardline fiscal conservative who has occasionally broken with Trump, is fighting to stay the front-runner for a job that has long been used to aggressively push the conservative agenda and served as a jumping-off point for higher office — like current Attorney General Ken Paxton, who’s running for Senate.
The next Texas attorney general will help shape the future of the Republican party post-Trump, playing a key role leading the conservative legal movement. But if Roy is going to get there, he’ll first have to get by State Sen. Mayes Middleton and former DOJ attorney Aaron Reitz, who have both carved paths as aggressive foot soldiers for the MAGA movement. The race also includes state Sen. Joan Huffman, who is making a more measured pitch for the job.
Roy has a lead in the polls, and all three candidates are trying to keep him from earning more than 50 percent of the vote in the March primary to force a runoff in May.
Their main line of attack: Roy’s past dustups with Trump shows he is inadequately conservative in order to represent Texas in court. Roy, in response, has argued that his reputation as an obstructionist in Congress, deep experience in Washington and independent streak within the party demonstrates he’s well equipped to serve as Texas’ top lawyer.
The candidates’ eagerness to prove their MAGA credentials were on display in the first few moments of a debate Tuesday night. Middleton bragged that Trump once called him a “MAGA champion.” Reitz said Trump regards him as a “true MAGA attorney.” Huffman said she “led the fight with President Trump on border security” in the state legislature. Roy said he has worked alongside Trump to designate cartels as terrorist organizations.
But Roy’s rivals have repeatedly hammered him for being at odds with Trump and the GOP in the past. The congressman was the first to call for Paxton to resign after he faced charges of bribery and abuse of office in 2020. He bucked Trump to certify the 2020 election and said the president demonstrated “clearly impeachable conduct” on Jan. 6. Roy backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, making him one of just a handful of House Republicans who opposed Trump during that year’s primaries.
And, his refusal to fall in line with GOP leadership in the House — even holding up numerous funding bills — has occasionally infuriated Trump. In late 2024, as Roy led the charge against Trump’s demand that the House raise the debt ceiling without restrictions on future spending, Trump blasted him as “just another ambitious guy, with no talent” and invited primary challengers against him. Roy was a late holdout on Trump’s signature legislative achievement, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, though he eventually voted for it.
“This is somebody who has a deep disdain for the MAGA movement … and he’s only now singing a different tune now that it’s campaign season,” Reitz said of Roy in an interview, while touting his own experience working in the Trump Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy, a position he held for several months. Reitz has received Paxton’s coveted endorsement and posted strong fundraising numbers.
Trump has not yet weighed in on who he prefers to take the mantle from Paxton, but his potential endorsement looms over the field. A recent poll shows Roy in the lead, with 33 percent of likely Republican voters, followed by Middleton, with 23 percent. Huffman and Reitz trail at 13 percent and 6 percent, respectively. A quarter of voters are undecided.
Among Texas Republican voters, “the attorney general position is kind of viewed as the police officer of the state,” said Jen French, chair of the Travis County GOP. “Voters like somebody who’s going to get in there and what they perceive as ‘fight, fight, fight.’”
All four GOP candidates are closely aligned on policy, vowing to follow strict interpretations of the Texas and U.S. Constitutions, but Middleton and Reitz have made more bombastic declarations about how they would enforce the law. The differences between the set are mostly stylistic, as they try one to one-up each other on red meat issues like stopping the alleged spread of Sharia law in Texas and halting the flow of abortion pills into the state.
Middleton has nicknamed himself “MAGA Mayes,” a slogan he’s put on hats his campaign gives away. He’s also leaned into culture war issues that rally the base like banning trans student athletes from competition and allowing the Ten Commandments in schools. The oil and gas businessman from Galveston has largely self-funded his campaign, putting more than $11 million toward the effort.
Roy, who also leads in fundraising, has been endorsed by well-known conservatives like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who Roy once worked for as his chief of staff, as well as fellow Freedom Caucus Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Andy Biggs of Arizona. Roy reported $4.2 million in the bank in January, fueled by a $2 million transfer from his congressional campaign account.
Huffman, one of the longest-serving state senators, highlights her experience prosecuting felony crimes as an assistant district attorney and state district judge in Harris County. In an interview, she said she would treat the job of attorney general as “chief law enforcement officer for Texans,” and work closely with local law enforcement.
Whoever emerges from the GOP primary will be the heavy favorite in the general election in the Republican-leaning state. On the Democratic side, the race includes State Sen. Nathan Johnson and former Galveston mayor Joe Jaworski, who is making his second shot at the nomination. Jaworski, in an interview, said voters are tired of “a rabid ultra MAGA representation of what government is. It’s all about punishing the vulnerable.”
The job has long allowed its holder a leading role in the national culture wars — and a springboard to higher office. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott was attorney general before he ran for governor and barraged the Obama administration with lawsuits that made national headlines: He famously quipped in 2013 that his day-to-day was, “I go into the office, I sue the federal government and I go home.” Before he had the job, it was filled by now-Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the man Paxton is currently running against.
Paxton spent a decade steering the office into the center of the culture wars, pursuing actions in the name of preserving religious liberty and spearheading multistate lawsuits filed by Republican attorneys general against the federal government. The AG role has since become the top destination for young conservative legal talents, a number of whom have gone on to become judges appointed by Trump.
It is a “choice position,” said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University.
“There’s this whole playing field within the legal system where the states can have a powerful impact on national policy in a wide range of areas,” he said. “And no state has more successfully – or at least more aggressively – used the power of the courts to try to further a conservative policy agenda than the state of Texas.”

Six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans will be back for a 13th NFL season in 2026, his agent confirmed Tuesday. So, the big question now is whether he’ll finish his career where he’s played all of it so far in Tampa. The Buccaneers remain the odds-on favorite for Evans, a rare top-tier receiver who’s only played for one team in his entire career. Of the receivers ranking in the top 10 all-time in career touchdown receptions, only two — Larry Fitzgerald (Cardinals) and Marvin Harrison (Colts) — retired with the same team that drafted them. So, Evans could join a rare company if he re-signs with the Bucs. While Evans’ streak of 1,000-yard seasons ended in 2025, he’s still set to be one of the top free agents this offseason. He came in at No. 15 on my top 100 NFL free agents list earlier in the offseason, ranking third among the wide receivers set to become available. Evans just finished a two-year, $45 million contract, and he’ll be 33 when the upcoming season starts, so his next contract might end up a little lower from an annual value standpoint. His valuations are all over the map, though. The Athletic just projected him at $51 million for two years, while Spotrac has him at just over $13 million a year; Pro Football Focus gave him a one-year, $18 million deal. So we offer up five potential landing spots for Evans. Will he be a lifetime Buc like Ronde Barber and Derrick Brooks, or finish a Hall of Fame career elsewhere like John Lynch and Warren Sapp? 5. New England Patriots New England went from 4-13 to playing in the Super Bowl in a single season, and they did it without a true star on the receiving end of Drake Maye’s passes. Stefon Diggs could be cut with a big contract and modest returns, and if they did that, it would cost close to the same to bring in Evans, who is the same age as Diggs but has had a much more consistent NFL career. For comparison, the Patriots haven’t had a receiver get 10 touchdowns in a season since Randy Moss in 2009, while Evans has done it six times in that span. 4. Houston Texans The key here is that Evans is from Galveston, Texas, less than an hour from Houston, and spends part of his offseason back in his home state, so this wouldn’t be a departure to a strange city he doesn’t know. Had he not decided to re-sign with the Bucs two years ago, the Texans were in play, and their success last season with perhaps the NFL’s top defense doesn’t hurt them. Houston went 12-5 last year and won a playoff game, so they qualify as the kind of playoff contender he would want to play for at the end of his career. They already have two 6-foot-4 standout receivers in Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins, so you could argue Houston might prefer a speed threat more than adding even more size to their receiving corps. The Texans also have limited cap space and other positional needs that arguably have more urgency. 3. Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs have an MVP quarterback in Patrick Mahomes without a true No. 1 receiver — in the three seasons since they traded Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins, no Kansas City receiver has caught more than seven touchdowns in any year. If tight end Travis Kelce does retire, there’s a greater need for star power in the passing game, and having played for Tom Brady, Evans will appreciate being able to have one of the very best passers throwing you the ball. Rashee Rice’s off-field problems could add to the immediacy to upgrade at receiver, and while they’re still over the cap even after restructuring of Mahomes’ contract, they have other moves they could make to facilitate a contract like Evans will command. If Mahomes is healthy again, they’ll be a contender and their need for receiver help could make them a potential match. 2. Buffalo Bills Buffalo sure could use a No. 1 receiver, just like Kansas City. Despite having an MVP-caliber quarterback in Josh Allen, the Bills haven’t had a receiver get more than five touchdowns in a season over the last two years. They’re moving into a brand-new stadium this fall, so it’s nice to make a splash signing to add extra buzz around the team, and the offensive shift with coordinator Joe Brady getting promoted to head coach would mesh well with adding a high-profile receiver to their talented offense. Would Evans like to play in the cold after 12 years in sunny Florida? Cold weather might not be ideal for a player with persistent hamstring injuries, and the Bills are over the salary cap right now, so they’d need some maneuvering to add a pricey receiver, though a second, non-guaranteed year or void years could lower the immediate cap hit involved in signing Evans. 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Evans is the best offensive player in Tampa Bay history — no offense to Tom Brady’s three years with the Bucs — and has rewritten all of their receiving records. He’s been the team’s Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee four times and has consistently expressed a desire to be a “Buc for life,” playing only for Tampa. General manager Jason Licht, whose very first pick on the job was taking Evans in 2014, has said the same, with a reputation of rewarding his team’s best players by keeping them in town. But the Bucs have other positional needs, like edge rusher and linebacker, and they have solid depth even without Evans at receiver, with Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan back healthy for 2026, and Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson still developing after combining for 11 touchdown catches as rookies. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has lobbied for Evans to come back for another season as well, and the offense is much more dangerous when Evans and his 108 career touchdowns are occupying a defense’s priorities. Is the news this week that Evans will explore free agency just agent-driven leverage, trying to get a little more from the Bucs with the idea there’s competition for his services? Or could he really finish his career in another uniform? That will be answered in less than a month, when free agency opens and players can talk to new teams starting March 9.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
The GOAT and the Lion shared a moment at the historic San Siro. NFL on FOX lead analyst Tom Brady linked up with soccer great Zlatan Ibrahimović ahead of AC Milan’s Serie A match against Como on Thursday. The two icons hugged it out, with Zlatan gifting Brady his very own Rossoneri kit with the seven-time Super Bowl winner’s signature No. 12. Brady played catch with the crowd and even got on the mic and gave a “Forza Milan!” ahead of the game’s kickoff. One of the most prolific and accomplished strikers of all time, Ibrahimović currently serves as a senior advisor at AC Milan, where he once played for. After breaking through at Swedish club Malmö FF, he played at Ajax, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Italy’s three biggest sides (Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan). He also made his mark in Major League Soccer with two unforgettable seasons with the LA Galaxy. Brady is no stranger to the beautiful game. Last December, he was part of the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C. that placed the 48 teams that will contest this summer’s tournament into the 12 groups that will span across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. – [2026 FIFA World Cup: News, Videos, Schedule]Latest Sports News from FOX Sports

As we previously reported, Bunnie Xo just released a new memoir.
And as expected, the book contains a number of revelations about her marriage to Jelly Roll, including intimate details about their sex life.
Bunnie opens up about Jelly’s affair, which was just revealed last year — and she says that while she’s more permissive than most wives, she still felt betrayed by her husband’s sexcapades.
In a new excerpt published by E! News, Bunnie reflects on finding out that Jelly carried on a ten-month affair with one of his exes (“not a baby mama,” she clarified).
She also cleared up that while she and Mr. Roll might have more relaxed rules than most married couples, he still violated her trust by getting serious with someone else.
“She told me about how he got a house for them to live in, and he wanted her to stay at home and take care of [his daughter] Bailee,” Bunnie wrote in Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic.
“And out of everything, that’s what made me sick. It wasn’t about him f–king this broad — it was about emotionally cheating and then wanting her to play mommy to a little girl I’d fallen in love with.”
In one recent interview, Bunnie described Jelly’s affair as “one of the worst moments of my adulthood.”
Fans were somewhat confused, as Bunnie previously said on her podcast, “We allow each other to be who we want to be … If I want to sleep with another guy, I can go sleep with another guy.”
She clarified the matter (somewhat) in her memoir:
“I thought my openness and willingness to have third parties would save me from all the other cheating I’d experienced in my life,” Bunnie explained.
“If a girl wanted to come home with us, we more than likely wouldn’t turn her down.
“J has always told me that I can sleep with other men if I want to,” she continued.
“We both live by the motto that we aren’t each other’s possessions and consider our relationship to be free, not open.”
Despite all of that, Jelly’s betrayal clearly took quite a toll on Bunnie.
“I’m not going to pretend that we just went back to normal,” she wrote in her memoir.
“It would take years for me to put the affair aside. It would take years to actually feel like this man loved me — that I wasn’t disposable.”
These days, Bunnie and Jelly are working on welcoming twins via IVF and a surrogate.
And that’s not the only good news: In a new interview with Howard Stern, Bunnie revealed that Jelly Roll’s penis is bigger these days, thanks to his recent weight loss.
Things are really looking up for these two!

She left a note.
Last year, we reported on the tragic death of Anne Burrell.
Though authorities investigated it as a possible overdose, they concluded that she died by suicide.
Now, it’s reported that Burrell left what appears to be a suicide note behind.
A note and tell-tale journal entries were in her home
The late great Food Network star apparently left a “suicidal note” in the primary bedroom of her Brooklyn home, TMZ reports.
Burrell died in June 2025 in her home.
According to NYPD findings, investigators found a suicide note and journal entries with “suicidal” messaging on a bed in the same room as the note.
Assuming that these are not forgeries or being greatly misunderstood, it sounds like Burrell was grappling with suicidal ideation for some time.
Ultimately, the disease of suicidal depression caught up with her, claiming her life.
Last summer, we reported that Stuart Claxton, Burrell’s husband, discovered her on the shower floor in their home.
He called for help.
Paramedics responding to the call were unable to revive Burrell.
They declared her dead at the scene.
According to reports at the time, first responders noted a bunch of pills near the late celebrity chef’s body.
The medical examiner determined that she died by suicide
As we reported in July of 2025, the NYC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that Burrell had died by suicide.
That was the manner of death.
Medically speaking, the cause of death was “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.”
You likely recognize at least some of these names.
Simply put, it sounds like the combination of medications that someone might take if they do not care what result their interactions might have — or is simply hoping for a dire result.
Contrary to what police found in her home, Burrell’s final social media posts showed no sign of depression, suicidal ideation, or anything resembling a cry for help.
This is actually pretty common.
Yes, many people do show clear signs that suicidal depression is in danger of taking their lives.
But that is not universal. Some people are able to hide their symptoms, perhaps out of shame or a desire to fight this battle alone.
And yes, many people can post happy, cheerful social media posts while misery eats away at them in real life. Some would argue that this is essentially the operating standard for running an Instagram account.
Her friends and fans continue to mourn
Food Network fans know Burrell from multiple shows, including Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and Worst Cooks in America.
(To be clear, she was not herself one of the titular “worst cooks” … any show about bad cooks requires good cooks for contrast.)
Burrell had also been branching out. She’d been working on improv comedy — even performing at The Second City the night before her death.
Clearly, she left a lasting and positive impact upon the world.
Her fans and loved ones wish that she were still with us. Her passing is a tragedy.
