Hosts Howard Megdal and Jackie Powell bid farewell to Locked On Women’s Basketball and reflect upon what it meant to be a part of the Locked On Network throughout the growth of the women’s basketball media space. Howard then explains what’s next for him and his team at The IX Basketball. Later Jackie brings on the New York Post’s Madeline Kenney where the pair diagnose and discuss the New York Liberty’s struggles. The Liberty are sitting in fifth place, something that looked unfathomable just two months ago. Why have the WNBA’s defending champions struggled and how can they get on track in time for the playoffs?
