I didn’t know all of the history about the Hatter mascot. Interesting!! Good Stetson crowd in Brooklyn.

The FGCU women came out today and surprised the Sooners to lead at the half. Missed a three to tie at the end of the game. Another good season for them and another competitive March Madness game. Now, will Miami come for Smesko? That's the rumor.

That said, the ASUN was 0-fer in the postseason. That's rough.

Lots of portal activity. The ASUN will look completely different for most teams next season.

We will look very different, but I was pleased to see Devontae Blanton announce that he would return for year 5 at EKU.

Stetson is just getting decimated (assuming all in Portal move on). JU trying to keep their key players, but I'm sweating bullets.

As of today, Stetson has half of their team (8/16) in the portal. Wow.

Daniel Ortiz returning to UNA is interesting news.

Yeah, turns out, the grass isn't always as green as it seems.

If we can find a big man or two to complement Lane and Ortiz, we should have a decent year next year. I think the conference is wide open again.

Agreed, ASUN looks wide open.

The portal is very active lately from and to ASUN teams.

EKU's Cozart is also out of eligibility. Blanton on the other hand has announced that he will return for a fifth season as a Colonel.
