THERE was a shining bright full moon across Australia last night. Wild brumbies ran thundering across the valleys. Wolves bayed at the night sky. Kings were beheaded, Wildcats tamed.

THE late Brad Rosen - and I always thought using "late" as an adjective meant you were dead but, eh - and I have come up with a very late (for Round 13 of WNBL and 17 of NBL) Brad&Boti podcast featuring all the regular mumbo-jumbo and some new stuff, although we do discover as a dinosaur, I am not alone.

Phoenix, Hawks start with 'forfeits': NBL
BACK in the day, if your basketball team forfeited a match, it went into the books as a 20-0 loss and your team additionally lost a championship point.

Bryce is right but Aron still frights: NBL
BRYCE Cotton today played traffic warden, guiding the Wildcats past Sydney's potentially dangerous streets while in Cairns, Aron Baynes fully embraced his villainous image, burying a 3-point back-breaker that consolidated Brisbane into the post-season, leaving the Taipans to rue their lost yo-yo year.

TASMANIA last night stalled its recent run of NBL outs with an NBL rout of league-leading United, Jordon Crawford back to his best before it was party time in the West, where Bryce Cotton was at his best as Perth gave Brisbane a lesson in teamwork and discipline, the Bullets humbled by 32 points.
