The WNBA All-Star break has arrived, which means we’ve hit the halfway point of the WNBA’s longest season to date (44 games). The festivities tip off tonight, July 18, with the 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge (8 PM ET), followed by the All-Star Game tomorrow, July 19 (8:30 PM ET). Let’s take advantage of the break in action to check in on how each team fared … Continue reading WNBA Midseason Check-In
My prayers have been answered—Philadelphia is getting a WNBA expansion team—and honestly, I didn’t even have to work that hard for it. WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert just kinda gave it to me. (She must have read my article about the Sixers.) I do have to wait until 2030 for the team to start playing, though. In addition to Philadelphia, Cleveland (2028), and Detroit (2029) are … Continue reading My Take on WNBA Expansion: 90% Excited, 10% Concerned
Philadelphia – We’re nearing the All-Star Break. The Philadelphia Phillies have played 78 games and won 47. Right-handed pitcher Aaron Nola has only accounted for one of them. It took him until May to win his first game (a 7-2 victory over the Diamondbacks), and he hasn’t won one since. Is he going to win another game this season? Yes, I know Nola is on … Continue reading Aaron Nola Might Not Win Another Game This Season
On May 16, the WNBA tipped off its 29th season. Only a week has gone by since then, but this season has already been historic. The Golden State Valkyries played their first game ever as the league’s newest franchise and, in their second game, picked up their first win. Saturday’s Fever-Sky game averaged 2.7 million viewers, making it the most watched WNBA game on ESPN … Continue reading WNBA Opening Week: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Recently, sports media has had a lot to say about schools switching conferences, the Pac-12 (temporarily) going out of business, and the subsequent rise of the Power 4 superconferences. But most of the talk has centered on football and basketball. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) got a record fourteen men’s basketball teams (out of sixteen–sorry LSU and South Carolina) into the 2025 NCAA Tournament. And it … Continue reading The Craziest Result of Conference Realignment? SEC Softball
In the first episode of the KSS podcast (go give it a listen if you haven’t yet!), Ben asked me who my WNBA team is, and my answer was that I don’t have one. I’ll always be partial to whatever team Natasha Cloud is on (go Hawks), but I really don’t have a WNBA team in the way that I have, say, an NFL (go … Continue reading Why I Root for Women’s Sports, Not Women’s Sports Teams
There’s no rest for the wicked. The day after the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament concluded, the women’s college basketball transfer portal opened to the general public. The portal closed to new entries at midnight on April 22, closing a four-week period in which over 1,000 players entered their names. While no new players can enter the portal (unless they’re a graduate transfer … Continue reading The Transfer Portal Giveth, The Transfer Portal Taketh Away
As the first round of the NBA playoffs gets underway, I’m sitting here with no team to root for and reflecting on how glad I am that the Sixers’ season is over. I’m from Philly (well, actually, I was born in Houston and then grew up in a suburb outside of Philly) and basketball is my favorite sport, but this year the Sixers lost me … Continue reading Thank God the Sixers’ Season is Over
Wait, WNBA draft reaction? Didn’t the NCAA tournament end like a week ago? Yes, yes it did. And we keep it moving over here in women’s basketball, because the WNBA season tips off on May 16th. Read on for my semi-pro analysis of the 2025 WNBA Draft. First Round Note: As of 2025 there are 13 WNBA teams, but the Las Vegas Aces had their … Continue reading WNBA Draft Reaction
