Bob's Corner: Tomas' unusual double-double
.jpg)
BOB'S CORNER: We've reached the pointy end of the NCAA Finals and our US correspondent BOB CRAVEN will be back with plenty on that later. Right now, he has a weird NBA double-double for us, a new record and an update on Brittney Griner's situation to start your weekend reading.
Fingers crossed for a strong finish
IN a season when it was definitely possible - if not probable - to lose complete faith in women's basketball in Australia, at least the WNBL had its MVP Anneli Maley right and tomorrow's Grand Finalists also promising finishing a dreadful year on a strong note. It was more than what we could have hoped for.
NBL Rd18: Tell tale round for the pack
IT'S not easy being green as both South East Melbourne and Tasmania JackJumpers will tell you, the two clubs hovering outside the NBL Final Four on 12-10 win-loss records, two matches in arrears of Illawarra Hawks and Perth Wildcats on 14-8. The Phoenix, with Xavier Munford in form, should make a move in Round 18.
B&B: Guy's 'boom times'
MELBOURNE Boomers have not only won the WNBL's regular season championship but also were the first to storm into the 2022 Grand Final, Brad Rosen and I grabbing coach Guy Molloy for this week's Brad&Boti podcast. Guy's gals will face Perth for the championship before he heads to New Zealand.
TOTW Rd17: Kings for a day and not jumpy
FOR ONLY the second time this season, our erstwhile panel of B.O.T.I. judges were unable to split two teams in NBL Round 17 for the prestigious and much sought title of our Team of the Week, it last occurring in Round 7 when we couldn't split Adelaide and Brisbane.
NBL Rd.17: The 'nothing to lose' blues
TWO of the greatest finishes to NBL games highlighted the start of Round 17, a round in which the "nothing to lose" blues stung Perth and South East Melbourne in particular, although Melbourne also suffered at the hands of Illawarra. Brisbane's Anthony Drmic though had the shot of the round.
Bob's Corner: Boston shines through to Elite 8
BOB'S CORNER: Our US correspondent BOB CRAVEN returns today, as promised, taking readers through the events of the Div.1 women's NCAA tournament, featuring an amazing performance by South Carolina's Aliyah Boston, through the Sweet 16 and en route to the Elite 8.
Bob's Corner: Time to get a little elite

BOB'S CORNER: March Madness is in full mad swing and this weekend our US correspondent BOB CRAVEN takes you into the heart of the NCAA developments as the Sweet 16 is pruned down to the Elite Eight and Gonzaga suffers a raw deal. It's the men's Div.1 wrap today.
Indigenous game has annual potential
A FANTASTIC turn-out for the Koorie Academy’s charity match last Sunday against the Victorian Allstars has buoyed all concerned, strongly building the prospect it will be an annual event according to the academy's head coach Ricky Baldwin.
NBL Rd17: Semi Finals arrive early
.jpg)
IF the NBL playoffs tipped off this week, third-placed Sydney at second-ranked Perth and fourth-placed Illawarra versus league leading Melbourne is exactly what they would look like, right down to the venues. Fortunately for South East Melbourne, those games have implications that could favour the Phoenix.
