VBelo Daily: March 26, 2026
It's Thursday, so that means it's time for some MIVA action.
Number of the Day
6 - The NCAA, an organization that is technically a non-profit and allegedly believes in equality, has a large scale fundraiser currently underway. Déjà vu? Anyways, there are 6 schools with men’s volleyball programs that made the women’s basketball tournament. After the first two rounds, there is still 1 team standing: UCLA. The combined record of the 6 teams is currently 4-5, which is pretty good.
