BOSTON COLLEGE V VIRGINIA TECH 92-89
What A _ Game! 43-39 at Halftime Virginia Tech has quite a crowd here at Boston University. Sometimes I forget we are one of the most diverse cities that captures crowds from all over the world including former alumnae of out of state colleges. To me I always look at similar colleges with the same…

NEW MISSION TITANS V C.A.S.H CHARGERS 57-22
New Mission Overwhelms C.A.S.H with Full-Court Press In a high-energy matchup, it took almost five minutes for the first points to hit the board, with New Mission scoring first. But once the game got rolling, New Mission controlled the pace. New Mission’s aggressive full-court press completely stifled C.A.S.H, forcing repeated turnovers and poor passing. C.A.S.H…

MASSASOIT V RCC 85-15
Catching up with Massasoit I pulled up on Massasoit to see them play RCC (I know, I’m trash). I haven’t been able to get out to Brockton, so it was convenient to catch both teams I like right here in the city. I had a chance to catch up with Massasoit’s coach, who told me…

BOSTON UNIVERSITY V BUCKNELL 60-76
Boston University’s Closeout Struggles Boston University has shown flashes of potential but struggles to close out games in key moments. Despite these hiccups, I believe they have the talent and coaching to improve in this area over time. In their recent matchup with Bucknell, my friend pointed out that “Bucknell looks stacked,” and while that’s…

NEW MISSION HIGH V URSULINE ACADEMY 46-59
Who Is That? I pulled up to New Mission High to watch Ja’Kyera Baccus (#20, Center) in action. I first met them at Hoops Collaborative Basketball Clinics, where they earned the Most Improved Player of the Game award. Ja’Kyera was a force on the court it’s been a while since I’ve seen a center truly…

BROCKTON V RANDOLPH HIGH 48-42
Brockton High vs. Randolph was exciting to watch. I met Coach Nick again through The Hoop Collaborative. He came to speak to the girls at Ladies Night about his role as a coach, how he navigates being a coach, player, and motivational speaker. I told Coach Nick the day before that I was pulling up…

THE HOOP COLLABORATIVE 42-0
Wednesday, February 5th marked the second annual National Girls and Women’s Sports event, hosted by The Hoop Collaborative and the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun at Massasoit Community College. In 2023, Kam Washington (CEO of Diverse Drip) introduced me to Coach Mitch, also known as Herc 42. I assume the “42” comes from his jersey number, though…

UMASS BOS V WESTERN CT STATE 60-44
The UMASS team I saw last week is a completely different squad from the one that played against Western Connecticut this week. The girls really showed up and showed out. After being down by 14 points going into the second quarter, they managed to finish with a 24-point lead over Western Connecticut. UMASS Boston took…
