    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?

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.

Q: Do the Indiana Fever make the playoffs? Yes or no?
No, they should pack it up for the season due to injuries and challenges.
