Also probably a good time for this: Been a great run for No Bid Nation - six full seasons. But with some professional transitions (good ones!) I’ll be letting NBN go fallow for the time being. I’m still deeply invested in the program, but will just be a fan for now.

A sincere thank you to everybody who listened, read, interacted, commented over the years. I’m proud to be a member of the Tribe. To the rest of the CAA hoops online ecosystem, y’all are the best, and I’ll still be reading and listening.

NBN may come back again, in this form or another. But, in the meantime, you better believe I’ll be rooting for that first men’s tournament bid. See y’all at the Kap.

Kris was always good to me, from my student journalism days through podcasting and blogging as an independent outlet. The job of an SID is hard and often praiseless, but he did it better than anybody. Congrats Kris — well deserved, but we’ll miss you in the Burg.

Lots of talent hitting the portal from the CAA on the men’s side, but Tribe still hasn’t lost any of its key contributors to transfer. (Miles Hicks is in the portal - appreciate his journey as a walk-on!)

Meanwhile, Tika Sallman has entered the portal on the women’s side. Grateful for her contributions to the 2025 CAA tourney title and March Madness run!

Monmouth wing Jason Rivera-Torres intends to enter the transfer portal, a source tells @247Sports. Averaged 15.8 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 2.9 APG, 1.1 BPG and 2.1 SPG this season. All-CAA Second Team. Repped by @WEAVE.

Towson’s Tyler Tejada will enter the transfer portal, per @KayserHoops. The 6-9 junior forward averaged 17.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 2.3 apg in 2025-26. He won CAA POTY in 24-25 and was a Third Team selection this season.

The energy was unmatched all season. #1 in the CAA in attendance per game. Thank you, Tribe fans. #GoTribe

Hard to swallow it ending like that. Proud of the fight they put up against the No. 1 seed in the tourney. Cheers to a great career for Alexa Mikeska. Always fun to watch.

Ah, man. Brutal final possession. Didn’t even get a shot off to try to tie the game. Hate to see it end like that.

Great fight for @WMTribeWBB - up one at the half following a Dance scoop shot that beat the buzzer. Loving the defensive energy and their effort on the boards. Need to balance being a little more cognizant of the shot clock while still being deliberate on the offensive end.

Eighth-seeded @WMTribeWBB holds on for a CAA tourney win over NC A&T! Onto the quarterfinals tomorrow against Charleston. Tribe was 0-2 against the Cougars this season, but that includes a 2-point defeat at home. Tip will be at 12:30 tomorrow.

Hard fought for Hofstra. Well deserved. Congrats to @JerryBeach73 and all the long-suffering Hofstra fans.
