1. I hate this
2. I wish this would’ve been in place last year in the Missouri Valley for the Sycamores.

[College football realignment has become a cash grab. The Big Ten and the SEC don’t just want all of the football money, they want basketball money too, which is why they’re pushing to expand the NCAA Tournament. The logic is simple. The more teams from your league that make the Big Dance, the more money they make.

The financial equation is different for small conferences. For leagues like the Sun Belt Conference, they will only get one automatic qualifier, barring something extraordinary. To maximize the money they make in the NCAA Tournament, they need their best team in the field to potentially pull off a March Madness upset.]

NORTH JUDSON, Ind. -- In 1988 North Judson great Debbie Bolen was passed over for Miss Basketball in favor of Brebeuf's Viki Hall, but her terrific numbers are not forgotten. Bolin would go on to even greater things at the college level. A short stay at Purdue didn't work out, as she left the team and classes in early fall her freshman year, but after sitting out a year, she competed at Valpo and went on to own nearly every record in their program.

Cannelton girls will host Perry Central Monday night at 7:00. The Bulldogs' gym takes first tip honors by virtue of the early start time.

Would be great if they would play the first game of the season in the old Cannelton gym that sat above the fire station - The one with the columns. However, I'm not even sure if that one is still in service and capable of hosting a varsity game.

Daleville at Alex the same night, but doesn't tip until 7:30

[There are six roster spots left in the Unrivaled basketball league — will Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark join her fellow WNBA players? The 2024 rookie of the year is reportedly being courted with a rich offer.

According to Sports Business Journal, Clark and Unrivaled have held talks about her participating in the 3-on-3 league that is set to tip off in January in Miami. The offer to Clark is believed to be worth over $1 million, which would include an equity stake.
