After four years of excellence at Princeton, Bella Alarie is ready to take on the WNBA.  Not only was she the best defensive player on one of the best defensive teams in the nation, her versatile offensive game will be a problem for opponents at the next level. At 6-5, with guard skills, it will be exciting to see her development.  Her game has drawn comparisons to Elena Delle Donne. Does she see the similarity? Does she like the comparison? John asks her that and more on the Her Hoop Stats Podcast this week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the women’s college basketball season came to an unceremonious close, for the first time ever we had that “who’s the best?” question left unanswered. With apologies to other great teams across the country, the majority of WBB fans think either South Carolina or Oregon were going to win the title.  Two of the stars of those teams will eventually be in the same locker room, as the Dallas Wings drafted Satou #2 overall, and Ty #7. We talk with these future teammates about which team was the best, the challenges of their final seasons in college, and how they see their roles in the best league in the world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before hoarding was cool, Dallas Wings General Manager Greg Bibb was gathering 2020 first-round picks.  Like a squirrel sitting on nuts for the winter, Bibb is quite happy with his haul.
