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.

.@SEMOMBB wins at home and is 2-0, tied with @MSUEaglesMBB atop the @OVCSports. Our prayers are with the @LRTrojans after the death of one of their managers Josh Claxton. Their game with EIU was postponed today.
Good officiating in the @SEMOMBB/@SIUEMBB in a little late game dust up.
BTW, @LindenwoodWBB is 2-0. @CoachAmyEagan has that program headed the right direction.
With @SkyhawkHoops winning on the road and @LUMensBball winning at home, right now, 5 @OVCSports teams are 1-1.
