As equal as basketball is in Ireland, if we had a guy score 30 for a good D1 school we’d collectively lose our minds.
We take what Bronagh has been doing for the last couple of years for granted. ⭐️

So Ulster got promoted, went into last years runners up Maree, came from 26 down & beat them with a shot in the last 10 secs and there’s no mention of it anywhere?!
Streaming behind a paywall is fine in my opinion.
Stats behind a paywall is not.

Brilliant to finish 5th and the top four teams were all excellent.
It’s a measure of how talented the team are and how good our women’s underage teams are that top 5 was in no way a surprise and there’s still a small element of wishing we could have done more.

The end to the Sligo Tralee game was about as wild as you’ll see.
Tralee hit 3 with 2 seconds left to go to overtime.
Sligo up 3 in OT and ref warns player to stay back on inbounds and then rules he got too close so gives a tech. She did warn him but I’ve never seen this before

It’s such a shame that DCU Mercy won’t be playing in the top leagues next year.
For a club with such rich history to go from winning the treble in 2018 to not competing in 2024 is an indication of how hard it is to build constantly, especially when you lose a top player or two.

Huge win for Liffey Celtics last night over Brunell. Keeps Liffey and Killester tied at the top.
I fully get that there’s an international game today, but a top of the table clash deserves more attention and to not be mentioned on socials or the website is a shame.

Not the type of news story anyone wants at the end of a season, particularly after the SL issues last week.
Can’t see how a full replay could be the answer, for a referee error (of less than half a second).
If that’s the case we could have a long season each year 🫣.
Sensational story emerging in Irish basketball circles. If BI stands over the National Appeals Committee's decision to grant Portlaoise a replay of a league quarter-final, it would set quite the precedent for the sport and other sports in this country

That was amazing.
Demons down 12 with 2.30 to go and somehow find a way to will themselves to victory.
James Hannigan with the shot to send it to overtime and then without Seventh Woods there were big performances down the stretch from Demons Irish players.
Amazing.

Get your own name lads.
We’ve had the Super League in Ireland for about 20 years.
The new basketball league for the UK will be known as Super League Basketball - which is about as unoriginal as it gets and will cause brand confusion with netball and rugby league. Baffling.
