Andrew, Greer and Tyler are back on Ball Up Top after a long week unveiling the new Ball-Knowers tier on Substack and launching the first installment of the ‘No Cap Covers’ series. And there’s plenty to talk about. The crew first touches on Marina Mabrey’s trade request out of Connecticut and the Sun’s decision to reject it. What does it mean for the WNBA veteran and the perception of the franchise? That conversation then turns to a chaotic NBA All-Star weekend that Greer just returned from so the gang has their best and worst ideas for the WNBA’s future All-Star games.

Andrew has to cut out of the pod early but that gives plenty of time for Greer to take the ISO and announce to the world that UConn might finally be back as a regular title contender. The pod wraps with Tyler and Greer’s Final Four projections with just a couple of weeks left before Tournament season starts.
