With the news out via @howardmegdal and @TheIXBasketball that Sandy Brondello is officially going to be the inaugural head coach of the Toronto Tempo, I wanted to re-share a story I wrote in September about why Brondello is the way she is and who she is. https://t.co/22OVN58BRJ

Alex Klein was an All-@nechoops player at @Bryantwbball. But after an autoimmune condition ended her pro career, she reinvented herself as a bobsledder. She nearly made the 2026 Olympics, and now she's pivoting again. Read more @TheIXBasketball: https://t.co/BwSFvSPJ2C

Athletes often come to bobsled from track and field or football. But Alex Klein came from basketball — and nearly made the 2026 Olympics.

My 2025-26 @theswac Women’s Basketball Preview for @TheIXBasketball dives deep into the stories, stars, & rivalries shaping the season. Every roster tells a story. 138 names mentioned in my 8,000-word SWAC preview. Worth your time. https://t.co/v6sdDyY1PA

The SWAC is deep and competitive this season, as five programs received at least one first-place vote. Southern will be challenged.

(1/2) Princeton head coach Carla Berube tells @TheIXBasketball that star senior guard Madison St. Rose "looks great" and is "pretty much full go" after tearing her ACL last November. Berube is just keeping an eye on St. Rose's load right now, so it's not too much too soon.
