... that brothers Martell and David Bailey played point guard for hometown Chicago teams against each other in five NCAA games, including the 2002 Horizon League men's basketball tournament championship game?

(ALT1)... that Martell Bailey stole the basketball from his brother, David, and made a layup with 13 seconds left to put his team ahead in the 2002 Horizon League men's basketball tournament championship game?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Comment - I like Alt1 better. This isn't a review otherwise. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Uses two of three QPQ review credits for Template:Did you know nominations/Acer stonebergae, Acer toradense, Acer washingtonense.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:32, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

(for ALT1) Length of both article is plenty (10197 and 3792 characters) and both article were created on November 10, 2011. The primary hook is not mentioned in either article as far as I can tell, with the closest they get being "Although the Bailey brothers played each other as Horizon League foes several times, ..." ALT1 is suitably referenced in both articles though. Spot checks carried out reveal no evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Good to go for ALT1. I have struck the main hook out to avoid that one being unintentionally posted: if the referencing is fixed for it later, I can remove the strike. Harrias ^talk 16:50, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
