Expert picks & predictions for Villanova at Georgetown
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) got the Wildcats at a good number: Villanova -3.5 (-110)
'Villanova has wins over St. John's, Marquette, and UConn in the conference and Eric Dixon is a stud. This is a veteran team that has five seniors starting and is the 17th-most experienced team in the country, but all of that gets a little murkier if they get swept by Georgetown. The Hoyas won by one point in the first meeting at Nova and NEVER led by more than two points in that game, yet they won. You don't let something like that happen again. I like Villanova to win the game and cover the -3.5.'

Former LSU baseball pitcher Jacob Mayers agrees to MLB contract following draft selection
Former LSU pitcher Jacob Mayers agreed to terms on a contract with the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. The right-hander will receive a bonus of $190,000 after his selection in the 2025 MLB Draft. The Red Sox chose him in the ninth round with the No. 268 overall pick. He was the second Tiger taken by the Red Sox after fellow right-handed pitcher Anything Eyanson, who went in the third round. Mayers came to LSU after two seasons as a starter at Nicholls, where he won multiple freshman pitcher of the year awards and All-Southland Conference honors. As a junior in Baton Rouge, he made 17 relief appearances and finished with a 4.80 ERA along with 26 strikeouts. He saw 2.2 innings through three games in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, but came in big in the Tigers' win vs. Arkansas. The six-foot-five, 220-pounder came to LSU as the No. 17 transfer portal prospect per Baseball America. He hails from Gonzales, LA, and played prep baseball at St. Amant High School.

Northwestern QB Jack Lausch leaves football team to focus on baseball career
Northwestern football has lost its starting quarterback from last season — not to graduation, injury or the transfer portal, but another sport. Jack Lausch, who started 10 games for the Wildcats at quarterback in 2024, has left the program to focus on his baseball career, Northwestern coach David Braun said on July 23 at Big Ten media days in Las Vegas. While balancing two sports last season, Lausch hit .268 with six home runs and nine doubles while starting 43 of a possible 44 games for the Wildcats' baseball team. He was fourth among all Wildcats players in batting average and tied for first in stolen bases, with five. REQUIRED READING: Big Ten college football power rankings start with Penn State, Ohio State Coming out of high school, Lausch had originally committed to play baseball at Notre Dame before changing his mind and accepting a football scholarship to Northwestern. He joined the Wildcats' baseball team ahead of last season after playing only football as a freshman. "He has the potential to be an every-day big league center fielder," Northwestern baseball coach Ben Greenspan said to ESPN in April. "He runs, he throws, he defends, there's power potential. His makeup is elite." Though he started most of last season for Northwestern, Lausch was unlikely to hold on to the role after the Wildcats brought in SMU transfer Preston Stone, who led the Mustangs to an American Athletic Conference championship in 2023 before losing his starting job in 2024 to Kevin Jennings. Last season, Lausch completed 53.7% of his passes for 1,714 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions for a Northwestern team that went 4-8. He also rushed for 213 yards and two touchdowns. "We will miss his leadership," Braun said of Lausch. "Miss having him as a part of the team, but excited and so impressed with everything that he achieved." The Wildcats open their 2025 season at Tulane on August 30.
