Penn State to host Illinois
Minnesota and Wisconsin will try again to keep their college football rivalry streak alive, and Indiana and Purdue now have another chance to resume their series as well.
The Big Ten on Sunday announced the undercard to Saturday’s conference title game between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 15 Northwestern. Dubbed “Champions Week” by the league, the plan was to give every team in the conference a chance to play an extra game after the end of the regular season. That means high-profile cancellations like Minnesota-Wisconsin and Indiana-Purdue can now be made up.
Wisconsin is set to host Minnesota on Saturday, and No. 7 Indiana hosts Purdue on Friday night. Rutgers hosts Nebraska in Friday’s other game.
The rest of the Saturday slate includes Illinois at Penn State, Michigan at No. 18 Iowa and Michigan State at Maryland.
Women’s Open delayed
The latest U.S. Women’s Open golf tournament on the calendar will last one more day because of relentless rain that drenched Champions Golf Club in Houston and forced the USGA to suspend the final round until Monday.
Hinako Shibuno of Japan, who had a one-shot lead as she goes for a second major, never teed off.
The U.S. Women’s Open was postponed from early June because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
