Brown WBB lost to Harvard two weeks ago on a buzzer-beater. Today, the Bears beat the Crimson 68-62 to move into a tie for third place — three games up on fifth place with four games left. Arguably the biggest win in Monique LeBlanc’s five seasons with the Bears. @theixsports.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

ICYMI: Carla Berube is an incredible 140-28 (including Friday's loss) in six seasons with Princeton WBB. But when I talked to her about herself, she said the topic “sounds boring to me.”

“Who wants to read about this?” she added.

For @theixsports.bsky.social, I’m betting that you do.

Also, Alyssa Moreland's 19 rebounds today for Brown were a season high for an Ivy League WBB player. The previous high was 16, by her (twice) and Columbia's Fliss Henderson.

The 19 boards also tie the most by a Brown player since 2009-10, per @herhoopstats.com. @theixsports.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Harvard WBB ranks in the top 50 nationally in points allowed per 100 possessions, per @herhoopstats.com. To re-emphasize the importance of defense, coach Carrie Moore talked to her team Monday about the #SuperBowl. Maybe Olympics are next. (Q: Rob Browne, Ivy Hoops Online) @theixsports.bsky.social

There’s something about Washington Mystics rookies and wins in the Unrivaled 1v1 tournament. After Aaliyah Edwards made a deep run last year, Sonia Citron just used a 7-0 spurt to upset Marina Mabrey in the first round. @theixsports.bsky.social
