A CRAZY week in women’s hoops! Dallas Wings got the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft— so yes, the Azzi Fudd conversation is happening. The Liberty hire Chris DeMarco, Project B snatched more stars, and Duke… continues to Duke. USC vs Notre Dame comes down to a Hannah Hidalgo game-winner, UConn vs Michigan gives us a fireworks show from Azzi Fudd and Syla Swords, and Iowa sends Baylor straight out of the rankings. And we ask, did Steph Curry leave Under Armour because the company couldn't sign Caitlin Clark?!?! Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ClubHoopsPodcast
Duke went out sad, losing to a West Virginia team that only had five available players. And yes, we’re looking directly at Coach Kara Lawson. Meanwhile, the JuJu effect is getting louder: another No. 1 recruit has committed to USC because everybody wants to hoop with JuJu Watkins. Plus: Alyssa Thomas signs with Project B, and apparently, no WNBA team wants to host the All-Star Game this year. A mess!
We were in the building for UCLA vs. Oklahoma! After a rough showing, we have to ask — is Lauren Betts really the No. 2 player in the country? We break down why the Bruins’ win doesn’t automatically make Betts the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft and how Raegan Beers held her own in the post. Plus, Oklahoma’s freshman phenom Aaliyah Chavez showed flashes of why she’s the top recruit in the nation — even on an off shooting night. And with a WNBA coach in the building… were they there to scout Lauren Betts?
Our Spotify users had the original episode cut off, so we are publishing the full episode again for them. Nneka Ogwumike just shook the table! The WNBPA president is joining Project B, a new women’s league promising multimillion-dollar deals and equity stakes. We unpack what this means for the WNBA and why everyone’s calling it Project WTF. Week one of college hoops is in the books! USC stuns NC State behind freshman phenom Jazzy Davidson. Plus, a little WNBA gossip, and we’re heading to the UCLA vs. Oklahoma game!

We recap our exclusive interview with Big Brother star Captain Will Williams, who shared his thoughts on the South Carolina Gamecocks! Plus, the WNBA and WNBPA agree to a 30-day CBA extension, Angel Reese and DiJonai Carrington are not playing in Unrivaled, and college hoops officially tips off! We also break down Ruby Whitehorn’s dismissal from Tennessee and celebrate Iowa State’s Audi Crooks for her community work off the court.
The star of Big Brother 27 and host of Gamecocks Talk, Captain Will Williams, joins Club Hoops to talk all things South Carolina women’s basketball. Captain Will shares his thoughts on MiLaysia Fulwiley’s transfer to LSU, why Jerzy Robinson is a must-get recruit, and whether coach Dawn Staley could be headed to the NBA. It’s a fun, insightful chat with one of women’s hoops’ most passionate voices.
The CBA deadline is fast approaching, and it doesn’t look like a deal will be made. Dominique Malonga dipped out on her EuroLeague team, and now they’re taking legal action. Three new head coaches were hired in the W, and finally… women! Oh, and college hoops is coming back! Women’s hoops never takes a day off.
Jewell Loyd says she doesn’t care about starting anymore, and we need to talk about it. Chicago somehow snagged the 2026 All-Star Game (again), and a new league might be coming for the W. Plus, the Portland Fire hired their head coach… yeah, still no women.
The Las Vegas Aces do it again! They swept the Phoenix Mercury to claim their third championship in four seasons. We take a look at A’ja Wilson’s Finals MVP performance, what makes this team’s culture unbeatable, and where the Mercury go from here. Plus, the latest on the WNBA’s tense CBA negotiations. Adam Silver says it’s gotten “too personal,” but players like Nneka and Satou have a different take.
It’s a Fast Break! We give our quick-hit reactions to Games 1 and 2 of the WNBA Finals — who’s balling, who’s blowing it, and what to watch for in Games 3 and 4. Plus, we dig into what’s brewing off the court with Cathy Engelbert, Napheesa Collier, and the latest CBA drama.
Phee emptied the clip on the WNBA’s front office in her exit interview. From calling out Cathy Engelbert to dragging the league’s leadership, Napheesa Collier let the chopper sing — and we are HERE for it. Meanwhile, the Dallas Wings fired another coach (shocking… not really), and the stage is set: Aces vs. Mercury in the Finals. What’s it going to take for each team to bring home the chip?
A controversial no-call, Phee’s injury, and Cheryl’s “Crashout of the Year” all went down in Game 3 — a disaster that sent the Lynx packing and the Mercury to the Finals. Meanwhile, the Fever push the Aces to a Game 5, and Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb explains Sandy Brondello’s firing and what’s really behind Sabrina Ionescu’s struggles from deep.
It’s official — A’ja Wilson is the MVP (again), and her reign isn’t slowing down. We break down the full 2025 WNBA awards slate, check in on the Cancun Gang after first-round exits, and recap the opening games of the semifinals with our predictions for who moves on.
Fresh off our Vegas trip for Aces–Sky, we break down Round 1 of the playoffs: Lynx rolled the Valkyries, Fever looked overmatched, Aces crushed the Storm, and the Liberty outlasted the Mercury in overtime. Plus, a Cancun Gang check-in as the eliminated teams start planning for next season.
Angel Reese made comments deemed “detrimental” to her team — and the Sky responded by suspending her for half a game. A deeply unserious move from a deeply unserious organization… but sadly, typical Chicago Sky. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark is out for the season. Will injuries define her career, or is this just a bump in the road? And to cap it all off, we’re headed to Vegas to watch the Aces take on the Sky. Let’s gooo!
CBA talks? Stuck. Napheesa Collier says there’s been “no progress” with the Oct. 31 deadline looming. Meanwhile, some Liberty season ticket holders are being priced out after getting hit with a major price increase. The playoff race is still wild, and oh yeah — Dawn Staley casually revealed she interviewed for the Knicks’ head coaching job.
Paige Bueckers made history with a record-breaking 44-point performance against the Sparks—and we loved every second. We dive into her efficiency, impact, and what this means for her rookie campaign. Plus: Connecticut Sun sale saga, college hoops headlines, and a little WNBA gossip you won’t want to miss.
A’ja Wilson is officially in the MVP conversation… at least for us. We also talk about the real reason for Alysha Clark’s trade request, why the Liberty need Stewie like yesterday, and whether the Aces are truly back. Plus, a hot new bombshell has entered the villa: meet Violet, the Valkyries’ brand-new mascot!
Trades, injuries, and a five-game skid — oh my! We break down the trade deadline shakeups, the Fever getting bit by the injury bug, and the Storm finding themselves in a full-on drought (pun intended).
