Boston Celtics vice president of team operations and organizational growth Allison Feaster had one shining moment in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament that is always replayed this time of the year.

This week, the Department of Defense essentially did what the military and America couldn’t do to Jackie Robinson. The DoD’s removal of a bio of Robinson’s military service on its website was temporary yet massive in symbolism. It erased Robinson. In particular, it erased a significant part of his very existence.

While the Spokane 4 region may have gotten immediate attention on Selection Sunday, I’d argue the Birmingham 3 region is the true “region of death” in this year’s NCAA Women’s basketball tournament.

St. John’s is back in the national college basketball conversation. The Red Storm captured their first Big East tournament title in 25 years and will begin NCAA Tournament play on Thursday in Providence against Omaha. This is not only a revival for St. John’s basketball but the resuscitation of New York City basketball. St John’s...
For 68 Division I basketball teams, Selection Sunday is a brief moment of celebration before embarking on what could be a two-plus-week journey to the NCAA Final Four. For most other teams, it’s a sobering moment of reflection. Perhaps a reminder of what could have been had things gone a little bit better over the...
It is ironic to hear the chorus of complaints about the success of South Carolina’s women’s basketball program over the past few years, whether it’s commentary about McDonald’s All Americans, physicality, or the site of the conference championship.
