Why Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes was signing autographs at State Capitol

The No. 3 seed Wolverines and No. 6 Cougars match up in the final NCAA tournament game of the evening.

It’s been a huge couple weeks for the James family. LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, and now, LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. is competing for his own championship. The 13-year-old and his travel team, the North Coast Blue Chips, are competing at the USBA National Championship in Charlotte this week. As LeBron Sr. has taught Bronny to expect, Bronny’s opponent directed plenty of trash talk his way. But it was how Bronny responded that showed a basketball mindset beyond his years. Bronny knocked down four shots from 3-point range after the exchange with Alabama Hoopers players. The Blue Chips went on to win, 84-59. Come Wednesday, the Blue Chips put together another dominant performance.
