No word on McCowan. According to wbblog, Lily Randgaard is going to Florida Southern (DII). Just for fun ... Wikipedia info: Florida Southern College (Florida Southern, Southern or FSC) is a private university in Lakeland, Fla. In 2019, the student population at FSC consisted of 3,073 students along...

If you want details every which way around and all over (transfers, recruiting classes, signees, previous years' signeees, etc.), this website has them for WBB ... https://wbbblog.com/ If you research a specific player, it can also show who has made them offers. Go to "Transfers" on the to...

Here is a reliable website to track entrants to the WBB transfer portal.  On the page click the "X" to close the subscribe box (if it shows up), then scroll down to the highlighted list of conferences. Click on "OVC" (or other conference) to select. That will give you a team-by-t...

After decades of watching college sports live and on TV, I have come to the tentative conclusion that attendance counts are done by a relative of the little man who turns the light on and off in the refrigerator. Seriously, tho. Might depend on how student attendance is counted, as their athletic fe...

Info for potential idea/suggestion: The Mid-American and Sun Belt conferences are in the first year of a two-year cooperative deal where each school is guaranteed one home and one away game each for MBB and WBB. All is D1 and o-o-c, obviously. Matchups are based on comparative NET, which changes (ga...

OUCH! Watched almost entire game on ESPN+. WIU opened 6-0 and then UT-M switched to a combo 1-3-1 defense with the gaps filled with a full-court press. Crowded the paint to make it hard for WIU to get inside while making WIU tentative per 3-pointers (3 of 23) with double-team in-your-face. If well-p...

Missed it. But that's ok. A repeat can't hurt.
