Happy Tuesday Nova Nation! I think four is the magic number of days between college basketball games. Day one is for overreacting to everything that happened. Day two is for overreacting to all the overreacting. Day three is the buffer day to cleanse the pallet. And day four is game day all over again.
Well it’s day three of that cycle. As a nice charcuterie (shout out to my fellow MBMBAM fans) to cleanse the past few very spicy days in the comments (loved it!), I thought we’d check in on the Class of 2019. High School basketball is getting geared up this time of year, and our newest boys in blue and white have served up a few fresh dun-dun-dun-dun-dunks!

I was once like you. I thought all celebrity relationships were a sham. Two celebrities “date” to get the news to say their names without having to pay for it. The old pro wrestling adage applies here: If it’s on TV, it’s a work.
