What we cover
- All 8 ASUN teams, from the first exhibition through the ASUN tournament.
- Fieldhouse Notes: game dispatches from the editor. Each is filed by how it was reported: in the arena, from the broadcast, from print and wire reports, or by phone.
- Schedule & TV, team ratings and player ratings built from every Division I box score.
- News gathered from every school, the conference and the wider press, always linking to and crediting the original reporting.
- Travel: miles, rest and time zones for every team.
How often
- Lines refresh every 30 minutes. Schedules, results, ratings and news refresh three times a day.
- Fieldhouse Notes dispatches on game nights.
- A weekly podcast and newsletter (launching this season).
Editorial standards
- Independent. Hardwood Bricks is not affiliated with the ASUN Conference, any member school, or any sportsbook.
- Credit. We link to and name the outlet behind any reporting we cite, and never republish another outlet's work.
- Labeled sourcing. Every dispatch says how it was reported. An "arena" dispatch means the editor was in the building.
- How game recaps are written. The recap on every box score page is generated from the official box score the night of the game: who won, who scored, how it swung. It states only what the numbers show, and it never invents quotes or color. Local notes, photos and arena dispatches are written by people and labeled as theirs.
- Corrections. Errors are corrected on the page with a note saying what changed. Send corrections to the contact above.
- Sponsorship. Any sponsored placement is labeled as sponsored. Sponsors do not see or shape coverage.
- Betting analysis is kept separate from news coverage, is for adults 21 and over, and never promises results. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
