  • Tyler

    Is Tyler an antisemite? He was never held accountable for his rant earlier this year against the Anti Defamation League, the country’s leading Jewish rights organization. Why did he oppose the Aces’ proposed donation?

  • Best Women’s Basketball Pod

    This is hands down my favorite WBB Pod. So smart, funny, thorough, interesting, insightful. Sometimes it feels like other pods grab the insights from this one - the “ethical hate” has me cracking up. The men are genuinely enthusiastic about the WBB and know

    Some serious herstory. Love Shawnee and Grier. Just so enjoyable. My favorite day is when their pod drops.

WNBA League Pass Team Rankings & The Best Possible Storylines with Seerat Sohi
Q: Can you define a league pass team?
A league pass team in the WNBA is shaped not just by on-court performance but by narrative potential, national TV exposure, and the ability to hook casual and hardcore viewers alike, balancing exciting young talent with marketability and storylines.
UConn and UCLA advance to the Final Four with wins over Notre Dame, Duke
Q: What did you learn from watching UConn vs. Notre Dame in person?
UConn's depth and defensive pressure were more impactful than the box score suggested, with Blanca providing a critical spark off the bench and Sarah Strong serving as a steadying, leadership presence on the floor.
UConn and UCLA advance to the Final Four with wins over Notre Dame, Duke
Q: What stood out most from UCLA's performance against Duke?
Lauren Betts' 23-point, 10-rebound, 5-block performance anchored the win, with Angela Dugalich contributing efficient scoring and a relentless defensive approach that frustrated Duke. The discussion also highlighted how UCLA's surrounding shooters and ball movement unlocked opportunities when Duke collapsed their defense.
