In: WNBL — Tuesday, 21 Mar, 2023

From BOB CRAVEN in Seattle  THE Men's NCAA Division One basketball tournament, so far at least, is throwing some close games at us as well as blowouts. But it's also showing us that big-time upsets can still happen to the big boys at this most important late stage of the season.

Flyers grounded as Fire wreaks havoc

In: WNBL — Sunday, 19 Mar, 2023

WNBL regular season champion Townsville, rolling into Game 1 of the Grand Final Series on a 14-win streak, last night humiliated Southside 94-63 - the biggest win in a championship game or series since the league launched in 1981.
