The Women’s Hoops Show

First, Jordan Robinson and Kendra Andrews react to the All-WNBA reveals we haven’t hit yet—including the All-W and All-Defense teams. Then, a news roundup: why some WNBA owners are at odds with Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, Portland’s expansion hire of Cavaliers assistant Alex Sarama, and a few lighter stories you shouldn’t miss. Finally, Unrivaled takes the spotlight as the 3-on-3 league expands to eight teams, adds a Philly stop, lands big names—and yes, Caitlin Clark is out as she prioritizes Team USA and a return to 5-on-5.

The WNBA season is officially in the books — so it’s time to see how right (or wrong) we were with our preseason predictions. Jordan and Autumn revisit their original 2025 tier list (Contenders, Feisty, Borderline, and Bottom Feeders) to break down which teams lived up to the hype and which ones… didn’t.

Then, it’s a full switch into college basketball mode with the Top 5 storylines heading into the 2025–26 season — from MiLaysia Fulwiley’s move to LSU and Chloe Kitts’ ACL injury to Ta’Niya Latson joining South Carolina, JuJu Watkins sitting out for the year, Olivia Miles’ transfer to TCU, and UConn reclaiming the #1 preseason ranking.

It’s your perfect crossover episode to close out the pros and kick off the college hoops season.

Alyssa Thomas put up yet another triple-double, but Las Vegas slammed the door—sweeping Phoenix to clinch a third championship in four years. Jordan Robinson and co-host Sheryl Swoopes break down Game 4, zoom out on whether this run qualifies as a dynasty, and spotlight how the Mercury’s rookies helped fuel an unexpected Finals push.

Plus: a quick news roundup from record Finals ratings to Angel Reese’s Victoria’s Secret runway debut.

A’ja Wilson delivers an all-time playoff moment with her buzzer-beater to lift the Aces to a 3-0 Finals lead — but what does it mean for Alyssa Thomas, who’s looked human under the defensive load? ESPN’s Monica McNutt joins to break down Game 3 adjustments, Phoenix’s resilience, and what separates Vegas from the rest. Plus, we unpack the growing tension between Napheesa Collier and WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, Candace Parker’s candid comments, and what’s really at stake in the upcoming CBA negotiations.

The Aces continue their winning ways and take a two-game lead against the Mercury. Jordan and Autumn recap both of those games and analyze what the Mercury must do in order to get back into this series.

Both semifinals are tied 1–1 and the heat is on. We break down Phoenix’s 20-point comeback vs. Minnesota, Las Vegas’ paint-first reset against Indiana, and what tweaks decide pivotal Game 3s.
