Duke was tied with Florida at No. 3, with No. 9 St. John’s moving into the top 10 for the first time since finishing the 1999-2000 season at No. 9.

A plaid-patterned patch will serve as a memorial to “Mr. Baseball” this season.
The Milwaukee Brewers unveiled a uniform patch they will wear in honor of longtime broadcaster Bob Uecker. Uecker died last month at age 90.
The blue and yellow patch is evocative of some of the colorful sport coats Uecker famously wore in the 1970s and 1980s as a commercial pitchman, host of sports shows and guest on talk shows.
Brewers players will wear the patch on their uniform sleeves beginning with their first exhibition game Feb. 22. The patch will be worn throughout the 2025 season. The Wisconsin Herd, NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, has received the returning player rights to Diego Bernard and a second-round pick in the 2026 NBA G League Draft in exchange for the returning player rights to Kihei Clark.
Bernard, a 6-0, 170-pound guard played in 40 games for the Mexico City Capitanes last season while averaging 4.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.1 minutes per game. Before joining the NBA G League, Bernard played collegiate basketball at Northwest Missouri State University from 2018-23. During his final season with the Bearcats, the Missouri native appeared in 33 games with averages of 16.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
Sturgeon spearing was a little slower on Monday after the 2025 season’s opening weekend.
With many spearers back to work and school, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says 65 sturgeon were speared on the Winnebago system.
On Lake Winnebago, there were 36 sturgeon taken: six juvenile females, 16 adult females and 14 males.
Upriver lakes Poygan, Winneconne and Butte des Morts saw 29 sturgeon speared: six juvenile females, two adult females and 21 males.
For the first three days of the season, there have been 355 total sturgeon speared. With 118 males speared on the upriver lakes so far, spearers are more than halfway to the 90% harvest cap that would trigger the closure of the season on those lakes. The season on Lake Winnebago is independent, and spearers remain far from any of the harvest caps.
Two fish weighing in at more than 100 pounds were speared on Monday.
The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders and the Green Bay Rockers will play the fourth annual I-41 Showdown at Neuroscience Group Field, home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, on Thursday, June 12.
