  • Women’s College Hoops: UConn Dominates as the Top 10 Shakes Up + Unrivaled
    2026/01/20
    In this episode of The Women’s Hoops Show, two worlds collide: women’s college basketball and Unrivaled. If you’re trying to keep up with everything happening in women’s hoops right now, this episode connects the dots. Jordan Robinson and Autumn Johnson start with a full women’s college basketball catch-up, breaking down the AP Top 25 and why the season feels like two realities at once. UConn continues to dominate, while the rest of the Top 10 turns into a nightly survival test. With only two undefeated teams left (UConn and Vanderbilt) and the SEC and Big Ten controlling the poll, the pressure is rising fast. Autumn was in the building for South Carolina vs. Texas, and she explains why the Gamecocks’ 68–65 revenge win looked like a true postseason blueprint. From there, they break down the games that reshaped the week: 🏀 UConn vs. Notre Dame: a third-quarter avalanche that showed real separation 🏀 UCLA vs. Maryland: the Bruins blow it open and keep building a contender résumé 🏀 LSU vs. Oklahoma: Flau’jae Johnson takes over as foul trouble flips the game 🏀 Ohio State vs. TCU: a last-minute thriller decided by guard play and turnovers 🏀 Vanderbilt vs. Michigan: the Commodores stay undefeated and pass another close-game test Before flipping the page, Jordan and Autumn tackle the question every fan is asking right now: Who are we sleeping on… and who’s ranked higher than their margin for error? Then it’s time for Unrivaled. The hosts break down league standings, who looks legit right now, run through Unrivaled superlatives, and dig into Season 2 viewership trends.

  • Dearica Hamby Shatters Unrivaled Records — Chelsea Gray & Kelsey Plum Set the Tone
    2026/01/13
    Unrivaled Season 2 is already in full chaos mode—in the best way. In this episode of The Women’s Hoop Show, Jordan Robinson is joined by Emma Baccellieri (Sports Illustrated staff writer and Court Queens co-author) to break down the early season vibes and the record-breaking performances that hit in the very first week. We start with the headline: Chelsea Gray is setting the standard. The pace, the vision, the audacity of the passes—she’s playing like this format was built in a lab for her. And while Chelsea is turning every possession into a highlight, the record book is already taking damage: Kelsey Plum detonates for 38, then Dearica Hamby tops it with a 40-piece, officially taking the single-game scoring record. It’s not just big numbers—it’s the way they’re doing it: switch-flipping, takeover basketball, and total comfort in the 3-on-3 game. We also hit other early marks (including Brittney Sykes and Sug Sutton tying the steals record) and what these performances tell us about which teams are actually built to thrive in this league right now. Plus: Emma shares behind-the-scenes insight from reporting on Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier as Sports Illustrated’s 2025 Innovators of the Year, and we close with the latest on the WNBA CBA—deadline passed, no deal, free agency in limbo, and what “status quo” really means moving forward. Court Queens (the illustrated history of women’s basketball) is available for pre-order now and drops March 17.

  • Paige Bueckers’ Impressive Debut as Unrivaled Season 2 Opens
    2026/01/07
    Unrivaled is officially back, and Season 2 is already making its presence felt — not just on the court, but across the entire women’s basketball landscape. Jordan and ESPN’s Kendra Andrews break down why this season feels different from the jump. Yes, it’s still about elite hoops: new teams, key roster additions, format tweaks, and high-level play right out of the gate. But it’s also about timing. With the WNBA CBA deadline looming, players having authorized a potential strike, and offseason alignment becoming more urgent than ever, Unrivaled has quickly become one of the few spaces where so many of the best players in the world are physically together — having real, in-person conversations about the future of the game. We start with a full Season 2 overview — what’s new, what’s changed, and how the league has expanded its footprint in just its second year. From there, we dive into opening day with quick-hit breakdowns of all four games, including what stood out, which teams made early statements, and where concerns already exist. Then we spotlight the performances that defined the night — from established stars reminding everyone who they are, to newcomers making an immediate impact, including Paige Bueckers' impressive debut as she immediately shaped her team's identity. We close with the latest developments in the WNBA CBA negotiations and why Unrivaled is becoming such a critical gathering place for players during one of the most consequential moments in women’s basketball history.

    2025/12/09
    Jordan Robinson and Sheryl Swoopes are BACK to break down where the CBA negotiations stand now that the deadline has been pushed to January 9—what the league is proposing, what the players are fighting for, and why housing, revenue share, and season length have become the biggest sticking points. And right in the middle of all this? Project B—the new global 5-on-5 league signing major WNBA stars to multimillion-dollar deals. What exactly is Project B, and how much pressure does it put on the league during these already-tense CBA talks? Lastly, we hit a news roundup: Dallas wins the No. 1 pick again and immediately becomes the center of the trade market, and the New York Liberty make a splash by hiring Chris DeMarco as their new head coach.
