More than a third of the A-10 women's basketball programs — five of 14 — will have new head coaches in 2026-27. Our @natalieheavren.bsky.social introduces you to each of them and explains what they hope to build, how they're similar and how they're different. #NCAAWBB

Sydney Johnson suggested postgame that we could see more of Darianna Littlepage-Buggs before the All-Star break: "We'll have two more games here [before the break], Golden State and Vegas, where she'll be activated. And we'll see if she can get out there." @theixsports.bsky.social #WNBA

Georgia Amoore was asked postgame about Shakira Austin scoring more lately. Amoore said she sits next to Austin on flights and always sees her watching Instagram reels about hoops/studying the game. That prompted Austin to joke about Amoore looking at her screen. @theixsports.bsky.social #WNBA

Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, the Mystics' lone developmental player, makes her WNBA debut in the final 15 seconds to play defense. The Mystics fall to the Valkyries 74-69. Shakira Austin led the team with 18 points and 16 rebs. @theixsports.bsky.social #WNBA

At half, the Mystics trail the Valkyries 33-28. They've led by as many as 8, but the Valkyries won the 2Q by 10 to take control. Shakira Austin leads D.C. with 7 points and 9 rebs. She's had some really impressive starts lately and has been particularly aggressive. @theixsports.bsky.social

Interesting episode from @howardmegdal.bsky.social & @classicjpow.bsky.social I agree the league needs to introduce a more centralized, robust and cohesive strategy to address player harassment and threats.
