Two days ago, Mist BC defeated Phantom to become the latest champions of the Unrivaled basketball league. The Mist, led by league co-founder and legendary women's basketball player Breanna Stewart, defeated Phantom 80-74.
Stewart scored a team-leading 32 points, and former Notre Dame star Arike Ogunbowale added an additional 19 points on top of her effort.

According to WSVN (a local Miami newstation), the "City of Miami Police arrested Ogunbowale around 4:22 a.m. at 29 Northeast 11th Street in Miami, just after 4:20 a.m. on Thursday."

Ogunbowale played for Notre Dame from 2015 until 2019, leading the Irish to their 2018 National Championship, where she was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
She was the fifth overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft and has gone on to become a four-time All-Star in the league. Ogunbowale has yet to secure a WNBA title, and her Unrivaled Championship win was her first since winning it all with the Fighting Irish eight years ago.
