  • Big fan

    Normally I listen on Spotify, but I wanted to write a review here because I’ve really enjoyed this podcast all since it started. I’ve been watching Mariah’s tiktoks for a while and that’s how I started listening to this (and Hoops for Hotties). I love hearing Mariah and Lexie talk basketball and really appreciate Lexie’s inside perspective. It’s been so great to hear as I’m watching more and learning more about women’s basketball.

  • Informative and positive

    I so appreciate Lexie’s smart and positive approach to all of her fellow players and all the teams. She is the opposite of catty, and I’m here for it! Women always win in the WNBA.
