The #Mystics have had a very interesting off-season so far. Lotta raised eyebrows, but are they actually on to something in the long-term? @jennhatfield.bsky.social from @thenext.bsky.social and I chatted about where they are, where they're going, and what's next: youtu.be/uWVOAAdOOgw

A tidbit from @andrea-adelson.bsky.social's story: Latson has ruled out leaving early to enter the WNBA draft "I feel like I still have room to grow & I'm in no rush... I want to get my degree and finish out the greatness that I've accomplished here at Florida State." www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton's Unrivaled season ended early due to injury. That leaves the New York Liberty with some questions, too, our @classicjpow.bsky.social writes in her latest Liberty notebook #WNBA www.thenexthoops.com/features/new...

"Breanna Stewart yet to find her 3-point shot here at Unrivaled." That's the same Stewart who shot 29% from 3 in New York last regular season, 29% from 3 at the Olympics, and 26% from 3 in the WNBA playoffs. At some point we have to be a little concerned that this is now her level from 3. #WNBA

Raye has once again shown the world that she can make a song into something even better than its original. That is just what she did performing “Skyfall”. She made a duller and darker Adele Bond song into something much more compelling.

Please excuse my handwriting, but here’s JuJu Watkins vs. ranked opponents this season. Simply put, when the lights are their brightest, she rarely disappoints. Watkins embraced the spotlight and USC seized the moment. Story for SB Nation: www.sbnation.com/2025/3/1/243...

My thoughts on what we saw from USC vs. UCLA. JuJu Watkins continued to do JuJu things, but what is USC doing defensively that has been UCLA's kryptonite?

Early warning, in case it comes up this week: WNBA qualifying offers expire March 7, but the rights they establish continue. So technically Stewart can't accept her core QO and Fagbenle/McDonald can't sign their restricted QOs after Friday, but their teams' rights to them remain the same. #WNBA

Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.

really loved this from giri—a look at how one of the biggest institutions in women's sports is thinking about itself and its product right now. (obviously some big structural differences between WBB and tennis but a lot of this sounds familiar!)

Few spent more time around Diana Taurasi throughout her career than Geno Auriemma. The coach explained what made Taurasi great through a handful of stories yesterday. "They all knew — and we all knew — that there's something different about this kid." www.uconnwbbweekly.com/p/geno-expla...

For @msnbc.com, I reflected on what Diana Taurasi's career and competitiveness meant for women's pro basketball and for women everywhere. "Taurasi defied gender expectations and taught future women athletes and women in leadership to embrace their competitiveness and bold personalities."

Indeed we are. I really view the cancellation culture that became so prevalent in the late 2010s needs a little bit more nuance.

"Jocelyn Steward, who lives and works in Georgia, said she had consistently voted as a Democrat but felt that, as a Black woman, the party had taken her vote for granted. She voted for Trump, hoping for change, in 2016, 2020 and last year." DOGE just fired her. www.yahoo.com/news/voted-t...

Everyone understandably focusing on Taurasi, but whether by accident or design the Mercury had retained enough cap space to give her the max. Now it's confirmed she won't be taking it, they can use that room elsewhere - if they can find someone worth using it on. #WNBA
