Episode 6 of The Huddle dives into the real preparation behind the opportunity.

We’re joined by Brin Hultz as she breaks down her journey leading into the UpShot League—from training with intention to making key lifestyle changes that elevated her game.

We break down:
– What preparation really looks like before a big opportunity
– The discipline behind daily habits and routines
– How changing her diet helped her perform at a higher level
– Staying grounded in faith through uncertainty

This conversation is about doing the work before the spotlight ever hits.

Episode 5 of The Huddle taps into a side of women’s basketball that doesn’t always get the spotlight—but should.

We’re joined by Hypatia Sorunke, the creator of The Fitted W, who traveled to 12 cities, attended 50 WNBA games, and hand-developed over 1,200 photos to document the evolution of fan fashion and tunnel culture.

We break down:
– Why WNBA fashion feels different
– The storytelling behind what fans wear
– The cultural impact of documenting women’s sports in real time
– And how The Fitted W became bigger than just a photo book

If you care about the culture behind the game, this episode is for you!

This week on The Huddle: Women’s Hoops: Raw & Unfiltered, Jalynn is joined by special guest Amanda Hoye, host of the Hoops & Healing Podcast, for a conversation that blends basketball insight with the stories behind the game.

We tip things off with a fun Start • Bench • Cut segment featuring NCAA and WNBA teams before diving into a bigger conversation about the UpShot League and what emerging leagues could mean for player development, exposure, and opportunities in women’s basketball.  

In the third quarter, Amanda leads the discussion on WNBA free agency, touching on player movement, market opportunities, and how relationships and team dynamics continue shaping the league.  

To close the episode, Jalynn and Amanda break down the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament, highlighting standout performances, key tournament runs, and what to watch heading into the championship game and the next phase of the women’s basketball season.  

If you love real conversations about the game, the players, and the future of women’s basketball, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

The WNBA is 30 years in — and this might be one of the most defining moments in its history. In this episode, we unpack the current CBA negotiations, the revenue-sharing debate, and why a one-time payout doesn’t tell the full story. With league growth at an all-time high, players are pushing for long-term protection and a real share in future success. The question now isn’t whether the league is growing — it’s whether that growth will finally come with fairness.

Valentine’s Day in Baton Rouge didn’t come with flowers — it came with physicality, pride, and a statement game.

In Episode 2 of The Huddle: Women’s Hoops — Raw & Unfiltered, we break down the players who made the most noise in the highly anticipated matchup between the LSU Tigers and the South Carolina Gamecocks — a game shaped by pregame predictions, national narratives, and postseason implications.

We also get into why LSU ultimately lost this game, from execution to momentum shifts, and share unfiltered opinions on what held them back in a moment that demanded consistency. On the other side, we dig into why South Carolina looks like a team built for March — disciplined, connected, deep, and comfortable in pressure situations.

This episode goes beyond the final score.
It’s about matchups, adjustments, composure, and identity — and what this Valentine’s Day showdown revealed about both teams as the postseason approaches.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Huddle: Women’s Hoops, Raw & Unfiltered — a space built for real conversations around women’s basketball.

In this intro episode, host Jalynn introduces The Huddle as a companion to WBBLX (Women’s Basketball League Exchange) and shares why she created this platform: to talk about women’s hoops beyond the box score — the culture, the community, and the stories that live between the lines.

You’ll hear what raw & unfiltered really means here, who this space is for, and how each episode will flow through a four-quarter format, just like the game. From collegiate powerhouses to dominant forces in the WNBA, and everything in between, The Huddle is a place where all levels of women’s basketball connect.

This episode also explains how you can be part of the conversation through our weekly Huddle Question, where listener responses help shape future episodes.
