Now that the @wnba.com Finals are over, it’s time for the @portlandfire.bsky.social and @tempobasketball.bsky.social Expansion! With a new CBA, massive free agency, and 2 teams coming into the league the Expansion Draft Rules are likely different. My thoughts below:

Update for @sickoscommittee.org:
US Fistball Championship 2025 was an absolute blast!
The South Jersey Spicy Salmon men’s team took a 3-1 victory over the Wisconsin Fistball Association.
For the women, the South Jersey battled back from down 2-1 to win in 5 vs SSC.
Need a Sickos Team in 2026!

Turns out Home Court Advantage matters in the WNBA Playoffs. I love the 1-1-1 format. #NowYouKnow #TakeCover

To clarify, the flagrant count and the technical counts are separate and different. Caitlin Clark is still at 0 technicals for the season and technically still on pace for being under the 2 techs she promised Stephanie White right, @richardcohen.bsky.social?

Happy WNBA Preseason Openers! Team Brazil plays Chicago and Indiana this weekend so I went through to give a quick roster preview. Less analytics focused than future work will probably will be from me but figured it was worth sharing! #TourBrasilNaW

Keep an eye out on 3/14!
This is why the #SMTDataChallenge⚾️ is such a big deal. Self-learning is a skill, and hard to develop in a vacuum. Students have done projects that use AI, but as a *tool* to address a defined problem. And explaining the how/why is essential.
(We’re announcing this year’s on 3/14. Keep an eye out!)

I have to admit that I've been surprised at the level of hate at AI LLMs.
There is finally a tool that allows those without access to an advanced education to self learn, anywhere , anytime. To get answers to questions, (even if sometimes wrong) , that they would otherwise never have access to
