Boring sports day otherwise, so I shelled out the 15 bucks to watch all day online. Traudt and GI's game against Elkhorn Mt. Michael just started. The big games are all still ahead. The stream is ok but definitely gets glitchy unless you just leave it alone.

How is it that the lady-folk haven't woke up and asked for their own "Classic"?
It's all the creation of Tino Martinez, the coach at Grand Island Central Catholic. He created it, promotes it, organizes, etc. I think any enterprising person who wants to do one for the ladies is welcome to get after it.

That's cute & all, but it happens during a school year and public school names & property are used. If you don't think the girls can't ruin it, you haven't been paying attention.

I don't think I said anything cute, did I? Just facts. But don't let me get in the way of that axe you're grinding. And no, I don't think there is currently a torch carrying horde of women marching on GI demanding equal treatment from Tino Martinez.

I’ll have to go back into the history of the event when I have time or someone else can look it up but I do believe he has had girl’s games in the past in the classic. If I’m wrong then I’m thinking of another tournament style like this that has had girls games.

That's cute of you to say.

I have a connection to BRLD, they lost to Auburn. Not unexpected but disappointed because my guys just didn't play well. They turned it up at the end but it was too little too late. Pius absolutely handled GICC, really impressed with the Lincoln Catholics. Fred's kids are good players. Bellevue West is tied with Sunrise Academy at half 31 all. BTW, Tim Miles is doing the color on the broadcast for the Bell West - Sunrise and MN/Oak Hill games. He's entertaining, I miss his humor.

Millard North beat Oak Hill Academy in a very good, back and forth game. Sallis with 32.

Hoiberg should have offered Saint Thomas a long time ago. Thomas is a better shooter than anyone on his current roster. He has several guys who have no business on a Big Ten roster (Trevor Lakes, Elijah Wood, Akol Arop) that could be cut to make room.

No shame in BRLD losing a very good Auburn team. Auburn backed off Vogt early not wanting him to drive. Seemed to work as he missed shots but warmed up late.

Yep, no shame and actually a really good measuring stick. A month ago I was worried that Auburn would run them out of the gym. BRLD has developed the supporting cast and come a long way from the beginning of the season. Looking forward to seeing if they can make it to state. There's some really good basketball in C1/C2.

Agreed. Hopefully games will open to general public.
