Zvosec, Wilson & Lansing Fill Us In
(St. Louis, MO) – It is college basketball tournament time. March Madness is here, the NIT will be filling up, but this year we see the emergence of ‘The Basketball Classic’. This is the former CollegeInsider.com Tournament. It has been re-branded and brought back from a covid-pause and with a new and different mission.
Our friends Rich Zvosec, Marcus Wilson and Greg Lansing are members of The Basketball Classic selection committee. They are helping this tournament get re-energized. Sponsored by ERacism, this tournament is simultaneously about getting mid-major programs a post season opportunity and also carrying a social justice initiative. ERACISM (eracism4ever.com) has done some great work in speaking about inequity in the sports world and in general society.
This tournament no longer charges teams to participate or to host a game. It has become more accessible for teams to participate.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
