Andre Levrone joins the Ravens practice squad and Carson McCorkle is headed to Argentina

Yesterday our staff discussed where they stand emotionally after the 2018 NCAA tournament, we posted our weekly ACC Power Rankings, and SB Nation’s resident college basketball expert Ricky O’Donnell joined the podcast. There’s sadly no football this weekend as the Hoos are on a bye, but you can read about Coach Mendenhall’s relationship with Wolverine to fill the emptiness on Saturday.

Here’s what you might’ve missed elsewhere around the corner:

Carson McCorkle Hopes to Repeat 3x3 National Title Success at Youth Olympic Games (USA Basketball)

Virginia Basketball’s newest commit Carson McCorkle is participating in the upcoming Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. McCorkle was part of the team that swept the USA Basketball 3x3 U18 National Championships back in March. That championship earned them a spot in the Games and will play in a group with Russia, Mongolia, Estonia, and Argentina.

He’s the youngest of the trio at 16 years old, but McCorkle knows the benefits of this type of action, saying:

“You have to learn how to set screens, move off the ball, as well as keep the ball in your hands. Talking is huge, too, because it is a more spread-out game, because you only have two teammates (on the court). Talking, communication and defense are three really big things with that.”

Play opens October 7.

TOTD:

The Women’s US National Team faced Mexico and Becky Sauerbrunn had a sweet pass in the box to teammate Alex Morgan to put the US-of-A up 6-0 over our neighbors to the south.

She got praise (and a little flack) for passing up the scoring opportunity for an assist, but the Virginia alum is pretty much the best teammate ever.
