Yesterday, I was looking at the scores of other games and noticed that SC State had been surprised by URI 68-63. As I must admit, I don't know this team, so I wanted to find out more. Looking at their roster, I counted eight international players, including six from France! Could the new salary rules (NIL) have something to do with it (?), since international athletes can't receive a salary because it could lead to visa violations. Personally, I believe that Geno tends to turn to international players, especially if he can't get the players he wants. So I asked the question, and here's what the AI told me.



Yes, the presence of international athletes in women's basketball at the NCAA is increasing significantly. The number of international players in NCAA competitions has increased by 61% over the past four years, with more than 1,200 players expected in 2024-2025, representing nearly one-tenth of all female basketball athletes.

Global reach: The players represent a variety of countries, with Spain, Canada and Australia being the most represented.

Sorry, the team that lost to URI is NC State.
