Caitlin Clark really is the next Michael Jordan
She’s doing for women’s basketball exactly what MJ did years ago and it is so exciting for women’s basketball
Hot take: Dayton does not belong in the NCAAT
Every time I watch them they are underwhelming… really don’t think they’re any better than other top A10 teams
Maybe it’s not a hot take I just don’t get why they’re ranked, LMK

Really sad to see that Tee Higgins is receiving completely unwarranted blame in his collision with Damar Hamlin.
Higgins did absolutely nothing wrong, and I hope that he can know he deserves zero blame for what happened.
Dear Tee Higgins,
You are loved. You are so loved. You are important. You are not to blame. You are so much more than a game, you are a human being. You are a son and you are a beloved family member of Who Dey Nation. Please stay strong. 🙏

Shoutout to UMass though for providing plenty of food and water for everyone even though this was certainly not planned
On Saturday, my Aunt Laura passed away after a long battle with Leiomyosarcoma, a rare cancer.
She was loving, caring, fun, and always knew how to make people feel confident, important, and loved. I would not be who I am today without her. ❤️❤️❤️
Destiney Philoxy is now just 12 assists shy of passing Sabriya Mitchell for most assists in UMass Women’s basketball history.

IMPORTANT THREAD:
Hi everyone, I know this isn't related to UMass or anything but my aunt has been battling an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer for the past 3 years. She's participating in something called Cycle for Survival to raise...
SLU beat UMass fair and square and they absolutely deserved to be in the tournament.
With that being said this is an example of why only allowing mid majors in the tournament if they win the conference is detrimental for the sport.
It’s Caitlin Clark Day in Albany
MVP Arena entrance is PACKED 30 min before the gates even open
It’s about 70% Iowa fans here too and they don’t play until 3:30 pm
Kim Mulkey looks like an absolute IDIOT for leaving HVL on Caitlin Clark all game long
Clark is absolutely cooking her every single possession it is absurd
It’s like Mulkey wants them to lose jeez
#LSUvsIowa
BIG TIME WIN FOR THE MINUTEWOMEN!!
A real team effort as they limited it to 13 turnovers, and really showed up on the boards against a top 25 offensive rebounding team in the country
A rematch of the A10 championship against SLU on Saturday

Fast, extremely physical, and incredible atmosphere. Extremely grateful and excited to be covering this UMass Minutewomen team this season
We knew about two of these but Mikenzie Jones transferring to UMass is a big pickup!!
She didn’t get much playing time at Denver as a freshman forward but did have a big game against 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament South Dakota St. with 20 pts and 9 Reb
Welcome to UMass Mikenzie!
Huge shoutout to all of ESPN for the way they handled tonight. What they did was extremely difficult in trying to keep the public up to date while not speculating and respecting the privacy of Damar Hamlin and his loved ones.
A TRIPLE DOUBLE FOR SAM BREEN!!
The second in program history and 1st in 22 years
Congrats

Don Brown on if UMass draws motivation from being expected to lose🧵:
"We don't talk about that. We're more focus on being prepared, understand the game plan, and then go execute the best you possibly can... it comes down to how good your execution is and how prepared you are..."
The UMass Minutewomen are FIU Thanksgiving Classic Champions! As they defeat the FIU Panthers easily, 95-78
Sydney Taylor is the Tournament MVP and Sam Breen makes the All-Tournament Team
More notes to come later
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!
I went into this expecting their to be at least a little bit of contact but to have a game get decided by this is EMBARASSING
Literally ZERO contact made by Kulesza and such a shame they had to lose in this way
