It's better. We finally got to spend real time with Caitlin Clark — and off camera, she is exactly the kind of superstar you'd hope she is. In this episode of Let Her Shoot, Sarah breaks down what it was really like working with Caitlin Clark during her first national broadcast appearance, what stood out behind the scenes, and why her competitiveness, humor, and professionalism are setting her up for a long media future. We also get into: Caitlin Clark’s desk moment and the awkward on-air comparison that instantly went viral Why her off-camera presence surprised everyone in the room How stars treat crew members when the cameras aren’t rolling Why media training and presentation actually matter for women athletes UConn vs Tennessee and why Geno Auriemma called it their toughest test the SEC vs Big Ten debate and how conference depth is shaping the season UCLA, Texas and which teams are actually in the real top tier the LPGA controversy that has players furious after a weather-shortened finish and why Unrivaled players are speaking up during CBA tension This is a real look at how women’s sports stars move when the spotlight isn’t scripted. 👇 Would you want to see Caitlin Clark in a full-time broadcast role someday?

Rivalry weekend is here — and the matchups are messy in the best way. In this episode of Let Her Shoot, we preview the biggest women’s college basketball games of the weekend, including UCLA vs Iowa, UConn vs Tennessee, and the wildly unpredictable Texas vs Oklahoma matchup. We break down: Why UCLA’s size and experience could overwhelm Iowa What Iowa actually has to do to survive in the paint Why UConn vs Tennessee still matters — even if it isn’t expected to be close Which injuries and rotations could quietly impact UConn Why Aliyah Chavez makes Oklahoma one of the highest-variance teams in the country The Reagan Beers vs Kyla Oldacre matchup that could decide Texas–Oklahoma And why some programs still struggle when replacing legendary coaches This isn’t a recap show. It’s a real breakdown of what actually decides these games — and where the chaos could come from. 👇 Who are you taking in UCLA–Iowa and Texas–Oklahoma? Drop your picks in the comments.

The rankings say one thing — the games say something completely different. This week, we break down why the college basketball rankings are officially lying to us, how the top of the sport is way more unstable than it looks, and which teams are quietly separating from the pack while others are slipping fast. We get into: Why the Top 10 doesn’t reflect what’s actually happening on the court Notre Dame’s sudden collapse and what’s really wrong South Carolina’s bounce-back and lingering roster questions Iowa’s rise and why they’re being underrated again The SEC tiers starting to form in real time Which ranked teams we trust — and which ones we don’t Why this season feels more open than it has in years No box-score watching.

Is the balance of power in women’s college basketball finally shifting? With Captain Will joining the show, we break down why Dawn Staley and South Carolina might finally be under real pressure, how UConn’s dominance is starting to feel inevitable again, and why LSU is quietly becoming the most dangerous team in the SEC. We get into: Why South Carolina looks more vulnerable than in recent seasons Dawn Staley’s toughest roster and center situation yet How UConn and Sarah Strong are separating from the field Whether anyone can actually beat UConn in March LSU’s guard chaos: Flau’jae Johnson, Milaysia, and Mikaylah Williams Why Mikaylah Williams might be LSU’s real ceiling-raiser Can LSU make an Elite Eight or Final Four run?

UConn might have the best player in women’s college basketball — and she’s a sophomore.  Sarah Strong put on a clinic against Notre Dame, and we’re officially at the point where the question isn’t “is she generational?” — it’s how high is the ceiling actually? Geno says she hasn’t scratched the surface yet, and after this game… we believe him. We also get into: Why UConn is unfair when Sarah Strong actually turns it on The wild MLK Day triple-header chaos on Fox Ohio State vs TCU and Jaloni Cambridge vs Olivia Miles goggle-off moment Vanderbilt being way more legit than anyone wants to admit LSU vs Oklahoma and Kim Mulkey’s masterclass game plan Flau’jae Johnson’s defensive dominance and LSU’s guard depth Aaliyah Chavez getting clamped and Oklahoma’s roster issues Plus: the Rebecca Lobo's WNBA CBA discourse nobody wants to have No kid gloves.

We were wrong about LSU — and January finally forced the conversation. After back-to-back SEC losses, LSU’s flaws came fully into focus. We break down what went wrong against Kentucky and Vanderbilt, why the warning signs were always there, and what Kim Mulkey’s brutally honest postgame comments reveal about this team’s toughness, discipline, and ceiling in conference play. From turnovers to late-game execution, LSU’s January slide raises real questions about whether this roster can survive the SEC gauntlet without the edge they once had. But LSU isn’t the only storyline. This episode covers a wild week across women’s college basketball, including: Kentucky and Vanderbilt proving they’re for real Mikayla Blakes continuing her rise as one of the most electric players in the country Iowa State’s unbeaten run ending and the blueprint for slowing Audi Crooks Jada Williams responding to defensive disrespect Baylor adjustments, clutch guard play, and second-half momentum swings UCLA dismantling USC and why the Trojans simply aren’t there yet South Carolina surviving Florida and the growing concerns about offensive consistency A blunt film-based breakdown of where South Carolina can be attacked defensively Texas looming as a nightmare matchup in the SEC Stock up / stock down on Player of the Year contenders including Sarah Strong, Azzi Fudd, Lauren Betts, Madison Booker, Rori Harmon, Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, and Flau’jae Johnson We also shift to the pro side, unpacking the latest WNBA CBA leak, the league’s disputed $700 million loss claims, expansion fee math, and why public reactions to women asking for more money continue to expose deep-rooted misogyny in sports discourse. If you’re confused by the numbers — or tired of bad-faith arguments — we walk through the logic plainly. Finally, we close with a look at Unrivaled as it tips off, early storylines to watch, player availability updates, and why this league is positioned to generate some of the most compelling moments of the season. January doesn’t lie. Vibes fade. Film tells the truth.And women’s basketball just gave us a lot to talk about. 00:00 – New Year Chaos in Women’s College Basketball03:30 – LSU Reality Check & January Wake-Up Call07:55 – Kim Mulkey, Culture Questions & LSU’s Cracks19:18 – Vanderbilt Is Real + Weekend Upsets21:11 – Baylor vs Iowa State: Turning Point Game28:47 – UCLA & South Carolina Separate Themselves40:20 – Player of the Year Stock Watch44:04 – WNBA CBA Leak, Money Math & Backlash52:03 – Unrivaled League & Closing Thoughts See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Strong is emerging as one of the most dominant players in women’s college basketball at UConn. In this episode of Let Her Shoot, we break down what makes the UConn freshman a generational talent, why she’s already being discussed in WNBA Draft terms, and how her game fits into the future of women’s basketball. We also cover Jerzy Robinson committing to South Carolina, Dawn Staley’s roster strategy, NIL and eligibility changes affecting college basketball, the Michigan debate between Olivia Olson and Syla Swords, and why Kentucky is quietly becoming a problem in the SEC.

Will the strike be the END of the WNBA? Strike-mas eve is here… and the WNBA is not feeling festive.We break down the WNBPA’s 98% strike authorization vote, why the league’s “end of the WNBA” talking points don’t pass the smell test, and what this means for a 2026 season that already feels shaky.Then it gets uglier: the Connecticut Sun are reportedly one step closer to being moved to Houston, and we’re not letting the league slide for trying to rip a legacy fanbase out of New England.Plus: Unrivaled media days are giving us a glimpse of what women’s hoops could look like when it’s run right (and yes… Paige’s TikTok rhythm allegations are back).On the college side, we’re locked in on LSU freshman Grace Knox — why she’s rising fast and what makes her impact legit.And finally: Texas A&M just won the volleyball national title after taking out three #1 teams… and we might officially be volleyball people now.

The WNBA is officially in deep chaos, and today we’re pulling the Dub Club straight into the spiral with us. The CBA talks are getting WORSE, not better — extensions, leaks, failed revenue-sharing models, billion-dollar valuations, and a widening gap between what players want and what owners are offering. We break down exactly where negotiations stand, why the league is stalling, and why players are calling the latest proposal “lipstick on a pig.” Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese just teamed up off the court, and the brand impact is massive. We explain why the collab works, what it signals about their future, and how this puts even more pressure on the WNBA to get the CBA right. Meanwhile, Sophie Cunningham is openly recruiting Caitlin Clark to Project B, admits she signed because of the money, and hints she might leave the WNBA entirely. What does this mean for the league? Can players realistically do both leagues? And if that wasn’t enough drama…The NWSL suddenly blocks Trinity Rodman’s $4M deal, sparking a leaguewide labor war over cap circumvention, owner power, and whether star players will be allowed to finally get paid what they’re worth.PLUS:• College Corner — Texas looks unstoppable, UConn rolling, Ole Miss heartbreak• Audi Crooks is a walking 40-piece• Paige’s Team USA buzz• And yes… Nelly Korda is engaged to a normyWomen’s sports is on fire right now — on the court, off the court, and behind the scenes.

The WNBA’s CBA talks just got extended again — 40 more days, no real progress, and a whole lot of frustration. Today we break down what’s real and what’s PR spin, including the league’s new “$1.1M max salary” headline that players say is nothing but smoke. Then we dig into the WNBA Draft chaos: Curt Miller says there’s “no generational talent,” which feels like a direct shot at AZZI Fudd — and we have thoughts. Big ones.
