  • negativity about unrivaled

    is your employer making you be negative about unrivaled or are y’all on the podcast just republicans? as a wbb fan unrivaled is the perfect league. by players for players and i watch every single game.

    because there’s no angel, sab, and less hype than the start y’all are gonna dunk on it for less viewership?

    the league is better than it was last year. they fixed a lot of the issues. regardless of the change in viewership (only been a couple weeks btw) talking about the league negatively is ... more

  • Just an excellent show

    Super well informed hosts who are genuinely good reporters. It’s the best source of WNBA news and analysis you can find.

    I get if others prefer ex player pods, but this is clearly the best of the “regular people” pods.

  • LSU strength of Schedule

    I have problems with the SOS for wbb and baseball, but what do you do when they have both won Championships in the past 3 years.

    If we could get some road games against decent teams (wbb top 100), I would be happier.

    But would you get in the coach’s face if you were a LSU fan?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WNBA Star Napheesa Collier Talks Power Moves, CBA, and More!
Q: What was your thought process when you came up with the idea for Unrivaled?
The idea emerged from identifying gaps where players needed more control over their economics and visibility; the founders mapped out a plan, secured early support, and designed a format that would showcase the best talent to sustain and grow interest in women's basketball.
Should Sarah Strong Actually Win Player Of The Year?
Q: How would UConn perform in a stronger conference like the SEC or Big Ten?
Chantel explains that eyeballing the team's floor, postseason results, and performance against power conference opponents suggests they would still be formidable but unlikely to remain undefeated, with the broader schedule potentially exposing more vulnerabilities yet underscoring their high-level competitiveness.
Who Will Claim the Final No. 1 Seed?
Q: Where would you rank Paige Bueckers among the best players in the world going into 2026?
Paige Bueckers is already considered a top ten player in the WNBA, and potentially a top three or four guard due to her all-around abilities, despite some uncertainty about her current form following her injury and league transition.
Countdown to March Madness: Who Will Claim the Top Seed?
Q: If Selection Sunday were today, who would you give that number one seed to and why?
Eden Laase indicated that UConn would still secure the number one overall seed based on their dominant performances.
What’s next in the CBA negotiations? —WNBA & College Hoops Mailbag!
Q: What can fans do to support WNBA players during their CBA negotiations?
Fans can contact franchise owners and public officials to voice their support for the players.
