Hoopsology

We are back with another exciting episode of Hoopsology as we welcome back Pat Boylan, the Play-by-Play Voice of the WNBA's Indiana Fever and the fill-in commentator for the Indiana Pacers on Bally Sports. As we approach the WNBA All-Star break, Pat shares his insights on the Fever's season, discussing the challenges of their early schedule, the impact of standout players like Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, and the evolution of their passionate fanbase. Boylan also talks about why Clark is a Top 10 WNBA Superstar in the league. 

We dive deep into the coaching style of Christie Sides and explore the Fever's playoff prospects. Plus, we reflect on the Indiana Pacers' impressive 47-35 record and their journey to the Eastern Conference Finals.
