The newswire will return to its normal place on weekends when March Madness ends. But, as it currently stands, Tuesday is a bit of a ‘Calm between storms’ day each week during the NCAA Tournament. So this should be a perfect time for you to either catch up on some reading, be it news, player features or content that we’ve put together in the last seven days.

Before we get to that, we also have our daily call to join our bracket challenge on ESPN!

It’s free entry and we’ve got two tiers of prizes for everyone!! But I will say this, if you’ve been interested in No Cap Space WBB merch then this is a good time to join the Ball-Knower’s. The top three finishers that are a part of our paid subscriber tier will get the first three pieces of currently-in-development No Cap Space merch. The first of what may be many, many more!

…And since you’re here, maybe indulge in a quick recommendation from yours truly. If you want a more broad sports newsletter that similarly sits at that sports and culture nexus, I’ve found Offball’s curation to be excellent. Ashtyn Butuso is one of the brains behind Flagrant Magazine, which is one of my favorite women’s basketball brands, and she helps out on the newsletter side over there.
