Welcome to Ball Up Top, a weekly podcast from No Cap Space WBB. Every Tuesday morning, you can find a show in your emails or social feeds that touches on all the trending topics in women’s basketball. The crew will rotate based on availability, whether it’s Tyler, Andrew, Chauny, Greer or Rashard.

This week, it’s Andrew, Greer and Tyler. After a busy WNBA week capped off by the Golden State Valkyries expansion draft, the crew looks into what the free agent market might be moving forward. Andrew argues that the W’s newest franchise holds all the cards while Greer and Tyler discuss some of the most intriguing possibilities to join up in the Bay Area.

Afterwards, the three discuss the NCAA tiers list from this week’s Five Out column. Each brings a different team from the list and places them where they think it’s best. Plus, a special spotlight on one team in particular: the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Is Kim Caldwell bringing the swagger back to Rocky Top? It’s all in this week’s pod, available wherever you get them!
