NBL: Seriously, this was a Final?
SERIOUSLY. What the hell was that, NBL? Officiating which left a LOT to be desired, 2,975 fans - the lowest crowd of Season 2024-25 - in attendance, Bryce Cotton scoring more than half his 27 points from the free throw line ... If it wasn't for a Keanu Pinder tour de force, last night's 3v4 finals tip-off would belong in a rubbish bin.
NBL: Challenge for Perth but not Bryce
PERTH Wildcats superstar Bryce Cotton tonight comfortably should collect his fifth MVP award but the question is will the West still be in full celebration mode tomorrow when Kylie Minogue, er, South East Melbourne hits town for the 3v4 Top Six double-chance opening round clash at Challenge Stadium?
WNBL: Flames sew up Final Four return
SYDNEY star Isabella Brancatisiano swished 8-of-12 threes today in her game-high 26-point haul, underpinning an 86-71 win in Canberra that guaranteed a return to the playoffs for the Flames, their 3-0 sweep of the Capitals and Adelaide's twin losses closing the Final Four door.

THE NBL was swift in its reaction to Sydney Kings guard Jaylen Adams poking at the eyes of Illawarra's Wani Swaka Lo Buluk in a fiery exchange in the Hawks' 95-75 rout before Bryce Cotton's 49-point haul in the Wildcats' 112-104 win over Adelaide confirmed he again would be MVP.

ILLAWARRA clinching the NBL's 2024-25 regular season championship has set up the Hawks of likely Coach of the Year Justin Tatum for their first genuine run at a championship since being swept by arch rival Sydney in 2005's 3-0 best-of-five rout. Then last night, Taran Armstrong gave us the year's first triple-double.

ARE Bendigo's Sami Whitcomb and Perth's Bryce Cotton locks for the WNBL and NBL Most Valuable Player awards this season? How will the final round of the NBL regular season and the penultimate WNBL round conclude? Brad Rosen and I take a deep dive in this week's Brad&Boti podcast, available now.
Vale the trailblazers Longley and Hughes
THE deaths within a few days of each other last month of Rick Longley and Alan Hughes served again as a potent reminder of our own mortality, especially when basketball players who rightly were legends of their own eras so suddenly leave us.
WNBL: Sydney's Swain scraps the Caps
SYDNEY Flames guard Shaniece Swain last night most likely slammed shut the door on the WNBL's Final Four with a 36-point haul in Canberra, leading the visitors to a thrilling 92-88 overtime victory for a 7-11 win-loss mark and a season-series win over the Caps. The door most definitely is shut, but not quite locked.
