I went long on Olivia Miles, and how her knee injury changed her perspective, which has turned her into a better 3-point shooter and elevated Notre Dame to a contender. “I was just in my head… you look at things so differently. Not everything matters.” www.sbnation.com/womens-ncaa-...

Considering the news, it's time for a trip down memory lane. Let's remember Diana Taurasi's best performance at UConn. And no, it didn't come against Tennessee. www.sbnation.com/2025/2/25/24...

After 21 seasons, Joye Lee-McNelis is retiring from Southern Miss. Is it a desirable job? Who might replace her? How do candidates view the Sun Belt? www.sbnation.com/2025/2/25/24...

Some takeaways from the latest AP Top 25 women's basketball poll here -- parity is alive and well in the sport, don't count out Notre Dame just yet and don't overlook Louisville: www.sbnation.com/2025/2/24/24...

N.C. State's upset of Notre Dame felt like the Game of the Year in women's college basketball, so I went long on it. On Zoe Brooks, Tilda Trygger, the Fighting Irish and the ACC, and everything we saw and learned, for @sbnation.bsky.social. Words and photos by me: www.sbnation.com/2025/2/23/24...

This is Penny John (bottom left) -- a 6-year-old from Knightdale, N.C. overcoming the challenge of Down syndrome. She's a big women's basketball fan and got some exclusive behind-the-scenes access with NC State, Notre Dame and the ESPN College GameDay crew today via Dream-On-3.

Scouts for Wings, Storm, Mystics, Liberty, Sparks, Dream, Lynx are all here for Notre Dame vs. N.C. State in Raleigh. Spotted Eric Thibault walking around earlier.

Hearing that scouts for the Dallas Wings and LA Sparks will be in Reynolds Coliseum tomorrow for Notre Dame vs. NC State. Olivia Miles widely expected to be a top-three pick, while Sonia Citron, Saniya Rivers and Aziaha James could all be first round picks as well. #ncaaW

Three-bid Ivy? It’s possible. Here’s why you should pay attention to Harvard, Columbia and Princeton as the season winds down. www.sbnation.com/womens-ncaa-...

Every now and then, MiLaysia Fulwiley reminds us that she can do things on the court that nobody else can. Tonight was one of those nights. “Nasty work.” www.sbnation.com/2025/2/21/24...

Things seem pretty wide open in WCBB, but Mia and @northam67.bsky.social still agree on who should be considered the most likely national champion. Check out the new episode of The Women’s Basketball Podcast now! Linktr.ee/miaandmitch @joeovies.bsky.social

On the latest episode of @lockedonwbb.bsky.social, Missy Heidrick and @northam67.bsky.social broke down the last week of wild games and how they affected the AP poll.

Huge happy birthday shoutout to the great @howardmegdal.bsky.social!

First Cup Series race for @jrmotorsports.bsky.social and they get a top 10 finish - hell yea

was shocked (but super relieved) at how fast he unhooked the window net after the car settled

Ustby is out for the game and will have an MRI on Monday, according to a source.

Good column here from Pamela Grundy and Susan Shackelford. btw -- I can confirm that the Ally Tip-Off will return to Charlotte in November. Negotiations with teams to participate in the 2025 event are already underway. www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/arti...

South Carolina is staring at what will be their first home loss since Dec. 3, 2020 -- a 54-46 defeat to NC State.

Opening line for UNC vs. NC State was State -1.5 20 minutes to tip-off, it is now UNC -2.5

Top 16 #ncaaW reveal on ESPN today had all three Triangle teams projected to host. Couple that with first weekend men’s games in Raleigh, this will be the epicenter of college basketball in mid-March.

Scouts for the Minnesota Lynx and LA Sparks in the building today for UNC vs. NC State.

Hey folks — next week, I’m starting a new job at SB Nation where I’ll be covering women’s college sports at Breakaway. Super excited about the opportunity and can’t wait to get started. DM’s are open for story ideas. Holler.

1-0 this week. Here are the rest of the bets we discussed on the podcast: 🎙️🏀💰 open.spotify.com/episode/0RcW...

On THE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PODCAST this week, we discuss: - Kim Caldwell’s Tennessee vs. UConn, LSU - Is South Carolina still the No. 1 overall seed? - The Big 12 is a big mess. - Charlotte’s WNBA bid Also, we tried the #AngelReese meal from #McDonalds! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Hopped on WUNC’s Due South today to talk about NASCAR, my trip to Bowman Gray Stadium and the sport returning to its roots: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

News: I can confirm that the Charlotte Hornets’ ownership group is backing — and is involved with — the bid submitted by the Berman Family for a #WNBA expansion team. Indeed, there is a legitimate effort to revive the #Sting. Details here: www.wunc.org/sports/2025-...

Tonight, on The Women’s Basketball Podcast…

Let’s consider for a moment that not only did Kendrick Lamar parlay his hatred for Drake into a diss track that became a Grammy-winning summer anthem, but also into a Super Bowl performance that got the greatest tennis player of all-time c-walking to it on national television.

Kendrick don’t even have to play the song. He’s trolling Drake with that chain.

two dudes who publicly supported the guy currently occupying the White House making a commercial about why there’s so much hate:

would absolutely watch a film where willem dafoe hustles people in pickle ball

starting a petition to have Trombone Shorty perform America The Beautiful before every big game

Photos by me, words from @raleighreporter.bsky.social, on Midway, North Carolina -- the latest installment in his Main Street series at WUNC:
