This was a really fun one! Great to do a deep dive on the relationship between US college basketball, Australian basketball and the WNBL during such a transient phase. Much appreciated to all the players who lended their insights, as always!

Whole team had it last night! Chloe Bibby is an expert from the corner, good to see Alex Fowler, Miela Sowah, Sara Blicavs and Isobel Borlase joining the party for the Australian Opals in their game against the Philippines in the Asia Cup. Can't wait to see them play Lebanon tn!

Could have picked about 5 players for the POTG. Abbey Ellis and Steph Reid were sensational with their playmaking. Sara Blicavs hasn't missed a beat. Miela Sowah was deadly. Chloe Bibby definitely a good choice! Everyone chipped in.
Chloe Bibby is The Pick and Roll's player of the game in the Opals dominant win against the Philippines. An egalitarian approach saw great performances across the board with Bibby tallying a double-double πŸ”πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ #AussieHoops #AsiaCupWomen #GoOpals #WeAreBasketball #ReadyToRise

Truly strange that Alanna Smith wasn't named a WNBA All Star. NOT an All Star. Alanna Smith, this season, NOT in the WNBA All Star game. Looking at the list there's 10 names you could comfortably say she's better than. Minnesota Lynx are currently 17-2 and no one is near them.
Wind back to the preseason and our episode with Alanna Smith, where she and Adam discuss expansion drafts and how tight this Minnesota Lynx group is. You can find the full episode wherever you get your podcasts πŸŽ§πŸ“± #AussieHoops #WNBA @Webby06 @AlannaSmith96

Recent words over @TheNextHoops. Can't wait to see Sara Blicavs back in action in the WNBL, such a legend. The fit with Jade Melbourne, Zitina Aokuso and the @UCCapitals is so natural. thenexthoops.com/internation…

Great team win from the Washington Mystics against the Minnesota Lynx. Much of the Mystics egalitarianism was on display tonight which we covered in this vid! Great performances from Shakira Austin, Kiki Iriafen and Sug Sutton who was huge in Brittney Sykes absence
The Washington Mystics selected three of the top six prospects in the most recent WNBA draft to join their young core and the team is already back on the uptick. @lukas_writes dissects what the Washington Mystics are looking like for the future. youtu.be/wOGMV7urc2U
