Luke's Funny:

Yes, you read those standings correctly, Alabama Women have a loss and Alabama Men have three. Though I’m guessing if you are not from Alabama you didn't read the prior sentence correctly. You likely added and exclamation mark or two.

There have been a lot of close games between the top teams in the men’s division. It’s wide open this season!  For the women, it looks like it’ll be a tight race between Alabama and UT-Arlington for the national title!


Luke's Funny:

Then again, some teams don't post scores unless they win, and some teams don’t post because MOV was so bad. Some people might find this, oh let's say, frustrating. Though maybe it should just be viewed as brilliant marketing. Seems like it's worth a shot by the NBA's Washington Wizards.
