McGlade spent time on both the men’s and women’s selection committees earlier in her career, including a stint as the tournament director for women’s March Madness.

Mobley has all the right moves

The first of Sydney Mobley’s 42 offers to play Division I college basketball came when she was in sixth grade, straight from the hometown school in Ohio State. Whether Big Walnut’s star junior forward ultimately ends up a Buckeye remains to be seen, but what stands out to Mobley’s father is how she handled the pressure that comes with prominence then – and continues to do so today. “She’s had a lot of attention on her since she was very young,” David Mobley said. “Some kids tend to get content with where they are, but she has managed to stay the course and keep ...
