The GIST: We’re not fans of owner Dan Snyder receiving almost complete control of the WFT. But what are we fans of? The Maryland women’s basketball team.

Referee Tim Peel must’ve missed last week’s newsletter

This week from the Nets and College Hoops

The GIST: After seven straight days of college hoops madness, we’ll have two days to restock our snacks and fluff the couch cushions before Sweet Sixteen action begins on Saturday. Getcha popcorn ready.

Though you may not be able to physically travel to Europe these days, we want to mentally take you there. The UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinals start tomorrow, so today we’re giving you the scoop on all you need to know. We don’t always talk about European soccer, but this is a BFD, so stay with us.

This week in March Madness and the NBA.

This week in tennis, the NBA, snowboarding, and hockey.

This Week from UCLA, USC, the Lakers, and the Clippers

This week from College Basketball and the Mavericks

The GIST: We’re only halfway through the second round of men’s tourney action and we’ve already seen major upsets, busted brackets...and a COVID-19-related no-contest declaration. Madness managed.

The GIST: What can we say? It’s mid-March, and we’ve got basketball on the brain. The Sky have been making some off-season moves, and the men’s Battle of Illinois was a smackdown so intense, it could have come from Candace Parker.

The GIST: The Bruins are on pause ’til Wednesday due to COVID-19 protocols, but there’s plenty of news (including wild rumors) to keep us busy here in the Hub.
