Who Can Keep Up With UConn, South Carolina, and TCU?

Zena, Ben, and Sabreena are back and diving into all the latest around the association! They discuss Sarah Strong and UConn’s impressive depth, Marta Suárez’s huge impact in TCU’s win over NC State, and South Carolina already settling into its identity. They also spotlight other storylines—including Duke’s concerning offensive issues and the rise of mid-majors like Richmond.

Then it’s on to the big question: What makes for a great women’s sports city? They dig into the factors that make certain cities hotspots for women’s sports and highlight emerging markets that could crack a top-10 list.

And to close things out, they debut a brand-new segment: “A Penny for Your Thoughts.”
