Big Ten women’s basketball starter finds new team for 2026-27 via transfer portal

Sports news

Minnesota’s loss is Oregon’s gain.

Former Gophers’ starting forward Mallory Heyer — who entered the transfer portal less than two weeks before the women’s college basketball season started — has committed to Oregon, she announced in a social media post on Wednesday evening.

Heyer will graduate from Minnesota in December. She’ll be eligible to play for Kelly Graves at Oregon in the 2026-27 season.

A 6-foot-1 forward, Heyer started in each of the 102 games she played in with the Gophers and established herself as one of the most consistent rebounders in the Big Ten. She’s ranked in the top 10 in the Big Ten in rebounding in each of the past three seasons.

She came to Minnesota as a Lindsay Whalen recruit and stayed with the Gophers in 2023 after Whalen resigned. The Gophers have enjoyed back-to-back seasons of 20 or more wins with Dawn Plitzuweit leading the way and Heyer starting in the frontcourt. Last season, the Gophers won the WBIT as Heyer tallied a double-double with 18 points and a team-high 16 rebounds in the championship game against Belmont.

Across three seasons with Minnesota, Heyer has averaged a near-double-double, posting 9.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Last year, she led the Gophers in rebounding with 290 total boards and also led Minnesota in double-doubles with seven. For her career, she also averages 1.4 3-pointers made and 1.1 assists per game.

Oregon went to the NCAA Tournament last season and lost in the second round to Duke. The Ducks are off to a 3-0 start this season behind the play of Katie Fiso, who ranks fifth nationally in assists per game with 8.3.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is also 3-0. Amaya Battle has led them on the glass this season with nine rebounds per game.

“The greatest pain is that we couldn’t bring the World Cup back home to our country. If anyone deserved to live that feeling again, it was you.” Rodrigo De Paul wrote on social media after Argentina’s heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Spain in the final, admitting that the loss will hurt for a long time.

Spain controlled the match from the beginning till the end, dominating ball possession for most of the match. Lionel Scaloni’s side struggled to build through midfield, and did not manage to score, with Ferran Torres’ 106th-minute goal proving to be the clincher for Spain.

De Paul said the bond between the team and the fans goes beyond the trophy, and that this shared identity is what he is holding on to as he processes the defeat.

“There were so many people waiting for us to fall, but that only made us stronger. Their attacks, their conspiracies, and their hate only proved how much our smiles and our way of being bother them.”

De Paul’s message closed with his love for the shirt and his country: “Today more than ever, I am proud to be Argentine.”

Deadspin | Remco Evenepoel shows time trial chops in Stage 16 at Tour de France Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe’s Remco Evenepoel won Stage 16 individual time-trial at the 2026 Tour de France. Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel dominated the Stage 16 time trial Tuesday, finishing the technical 26.1-kilometer course at Thonon-les-Bains, France, in 32 minutes, 19 seconds to strengthen his grip on second place in the overall standings at the Tour de France. The time trial opened the third and final week of the Tour de France after an off day Monday, with the concluding Stage 21 set for a Sunday finish at Paris. A three-time world champion in the time trial who also won both cycling events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Evenepoel was a full minute faster than the closest competitor until Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar finished right behind him in second at 32:47. Evenepoel was somewhat subdued after the victory at the news that Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe teammate Florian Lipowitz of Germany had to abandon the Tour de France following a crash on the time trial course. Pogacar, who nearly crashed at the same corner where Lipowitz went down, remained in the overall leader’s yellow jersey, with Evenepoel 4:32 behind after winning his second consecutive stage. Evenepoel won Sunday’s Stage 15 by edging Pogacar on a closing climb in the mountains. Mexico’s Isaac del Toro remained third in the overall standings after finishing fifth on Tuesday, while 19-year-old Paul Seixas of France was fourth overall after finishing fourth in the time trial. Juan Ayuso of Spain is fifth overall, just ahead of Denmark’s Mattias Skjelmose, who finished in third place on Tuesday. Lipowitz entered the time trial fifth in the overall standings, after finishing third overall last year, but is now out with an apparent right shoulder injury after crashing and sliding into a curb alongside the road. Wednesday’s Stage 17 is a relatively flat 174.7-kilometer route with an early climb from Chambery to Voiron. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Remco #Evenepoel #shows #time #trial #chops #Stage #Tour #FranceRed Bull – BORA – hansgrohe’s Remco Evenepoel won Stage 16 individual time-trial at the 2026 Tour de France.

Effective immediately, the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour – through their own existing Strategic Alliance – will partner with the Asian Tour to help provide commercial and playing opportunities, also establishing pathways for the leading Asian Tour members, with playing rights starting from the 2027 DP World Tour season.

The DP World Tour will also return to co-sanctioning select tournaments with the Asian Tour from 2027. Full details of those events will be outlined when the DP World Tour’s schedule for next season is announced later this year.

The DP World Tour and Asian Tour previously had a Strategic Alliance from 2016 to 2021. That formalised a relationship which originally began in February 1999 when the Malaysian Open became the first tournament to be co-sanctioned by the two tours.

In total, 108 tournaments have been co-sanctioned, with a further 21 events tri-sanctioned with either the Sunshine Tour or PGA Tour of Australasia.

Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner and CEO of the Asian Tour, said: “We feel the time is now right to collaborate with the DP World Tour and PGA Tour to enhance the Asian Tour for our members, fans and partners. Bringing the three Tours together under one partnership will increase the bandwidth of the professional game in Asia. Not only will co-sanctioning events see our members competing regularly on the global stage, but we are excited to welcome players from the other Tours to our pinnacle events, which showcase the strength and diversity of golf in Asia.”
