Under the radar is a good description for Alysha Green but the Mead grad has made her mark in college basketball. She's the subject for the weekly basketball notebook. For a couple of other notes, including some that ended up on the cutting room floor, read on.

Carroll College is going to play in Spokane. When Walla Walla cancelled a game with the Saints as well as a game with LaSierra out of California, they set up to play in Spokane so Green could have a homecoming.

It's awesome," Green said. "She's so great with stuff like that. To get back home ... I always thought it would be fun. Whitworth is two seconds from my house."

Former Gonzaga star Courtney Vandersloot is a finalist for a big honor on the west side of the state.

Fast fact: This didn't get in, from Gonzaga's game with USC or the notebook. Both USC and Gonzaga used just eight players in the game the Trojans won 58-51 on Sunday. Of the USC players to hit the floor, seven were McDonald's All-Americans in high school and the other was a WBCA All-American. The corresponding number for the Bulldogs: 0.

The rundown for games (or releases that are available).
