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.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
