Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Summer Power Rankings | Sports

With every Pac-12 men’s basketball team having filled out its respective rosters to the point where no coach has more than one or two spots to fill, it’s an almost perfect time to make a first attempt at a power ranking for the upcoming 2026-27 season. And that’s exactly what we did on the Full Court Press on 106.9 FM, 1390 AM, The FAN. We’ll have maybe another check-in as the season gets closer, but there probably won’t be any major changes barring significant developments (like injuries or final roster additions). You can find a link to the whole show below, which is where we revealed our rankings and the detailed explanations behind each pick. For this written version, we’ll just go through each team in alphabetical order and show where we ranked them with a summary of our reasoning. At the bottom of the article, you’ll find the table that concisely summarizes our respective rankings in a more visually-friendly manner. For the reader’s information, the rankings included with these capsules for each team in returning production and transfer class will be relative to the rest of the conference (we were going to include high school recruiting rankings, but no

Aggie Weekend Headlines – Neemias Queta contract extension, Aggies in NBA Summer League | Sports

From career landmarks in the professional ranks, to high school signing classes and big fundraising goals, these are the top headlines involving Utah State sports from late last week and over the 4th of July weekend. Neemias Queta Signs Contract Extension Former Utah State star center Neemias Queta signed his first major contract extension in the NBA, agreeing to stay with the Boston Celtics on a four-year, $56 million deal. With this signing, the Portuguese center cemented his place in the league after spending _ years behind the scenes awaiting his chance to prove his basketball prowess. Originally taken in the 2021 NBA Draft with the 39th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings, Queta played under two-way contracts for the Kings, and later the Celtics, until April 2024. It was then that the Celtics, who had signed Queta after he was waived by the Kings in 2023, converted his two-way deal to a full contract. That paved the way for him to be a more consistent backup in the 2024-25 season, in which he appeared in a career-high 62 games. The 2025-26 season served as Queta’s breakout year. Cap constraints forced Boston to cut salary in the 2025 offseason, sending

What Utah State coaches and administrators had to say on the Aggies’ Pac-12 Day celebration | Sports

On July 4, the United States of America will celebrate 250 years since the start of what George Washington called “the great American experiment.” A longstanding era of freedom and democracy in North America that is being celebrated for its continuance. But on July 1, in a farming community inside this 250-year-old country, it was the end of an era that was being celebrated. The end of Utah State University’s tenure as a member of the Mountain West Conference officially ended as the clocks struck midnight on June 30, 2026. Enter the Pac-12 era of Utah State Aggies Athletics. This journey began in late 2024 when Utah State, led by a different president and athletics director, announced it would depart the Mountain West and join Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State in rebuilding a shattered Pac-12. But even for those like the current athletics director, Cam Walker, who has only experienced a few months of this hype, the anticipation has been real. In an interview with KVNU and 106.9 The FAN, Walker said the feeling of finally being past the July 1 deadline was “incredible.” “The excitement and the opportunity we have to build here is

NBA Summer League games will use ‘1 free throw’ rule in an effort to speed up play | Sports

Summer League games might end a few minutes earlier than usual this year. The NBA announced Thursday that the “one free throw rule” will be used at the summer leagues happening this month in Salt Lake City, Northern California and Las Vegas. The rule — designed to speed up play — means any foul that would typically result in the awarding of one, two or three free throws will instead result in a single free-throw attempt. That attempt will be worth the same total number of points as the free throws it replaces. The G League has used this rule since 2019-20. The rule doesn’t apply to the entire game. Standard free-throw rules — two shots for a two-shot foul, etc. — will be utilized for the last two minutes of fourth quarters and in all of overtime. It’s unclear if the one-free-throw rule will make it into NBA games, but Summer League has been a proving ground for eventual rule changes. The G League and Summer League have been used many times in recent years as testing labs for the league before bringing rule changes or amended policies into NBA games. Among those that started at those levels and
