As UCLA has ascended into a #NCAAWBB power, there's been one constant: Kiki Rice. The ever-improving senior guard has been essential to the culture of winning in Westwood, and she could have the same impact in the #WNBA. @nemchocke.bsky.social profiles Rice's pro potential:

It's been 20 years since Maryland's #NCAAWBB national championship. Could this be the year that Brenda Frese and the No. 10 Terps break through for No. 2? @zacklward.bsky.social goes through the emotions of Maryland fans ahead of the season:

Blowouts, an almost buzzer-beater, a halfcourt heave and a bit of everything in between. #EuroLeagueWomen offered another action-packed week, which also included a Justė Jocytė shooting show, double-double dominance from Dorka Juhász and more trouble for Mersin.

Is this the year that UCLA finally breaks through? However, before dreaming of an #NCAAWBB national championship, Lauren Betts and the Bruins need to take care of business in the #B1G. @ecreates88.bsky.social looks at the questions facing UCLA and the rest of the conference: buff.ly/OineBUp

Lauren Betts? Olivia Miles? Azzi Fudd? Who's the best 2026 #WNBADraft prospect? An entire #NCAAWBB season will determine the answer to that question. For now, @nemchocke.bsky.social highlights 10 prospects worth watching closely:

It should be no surprise that a thrilling Gameday 2 of #EuroLeagueWomen play involved a number of Golden State Valkyries. What did Monique Billings and Iliana Rupert do for Fenerbahçe? What about Laeticia Amihere for Girona? What's up with Tiffany Hayes and Kaila Charles?

A UConn repeat? An all-SEC Final Four? A clear-cut No. 1 pick prospect? There are plenty of reasons to get excited about the upcoming #NCAAWBB season. @ecreates88.bsky.social highlights the top 3 reasons: www.swishappeal.com/e/66122

With 3 titles in 4 seasons, the Aces are not just competing against current #WNBA championship contenders. They are competing against the greatest teams in league history. @ecreates88.bsky.social looks at how the Aces stack up against the W's legendary teams: www.swishappeal.com/e/65975

A 4-0 sweep makes it clear that the Aces overwhelmed the Mercury in the #WNBAFinals. But, how did they do it? Through excellent execution of basic basketball fundamentals. @jfeltonnn.bsky.social breaks down the 2 biggest reasons for the Aces' dominance: www.swishappeal.com/e/65998

The Mercury took a risk in forming a new "Big 3," and they were rewarded for it, returning to the #WNBAFinals. Despite falling short, Phoenix's season was a success. But, was that success sustainable? www.swishappeal.com/e/65898 #WNBA #WNBATwitter

Sports is a copycat business. So, how will the successes of #WNBA head coaches with NBA experience, from Becky Hammon to Nate Tibbbetts to Natalie Nakase, impact who gets hired for the league's five head coach openings? buff.ly/joGMzCV #WNBATwitter

As the Aces captured the 2025 #WNBA title, Dana Evans proved that she is the ultimate WNBA "Alfred." Here's what that means, and how Evans, now a two-time champ, provided just what the Aces needed to earn title No. 3: www.swishappeal.com/e/65917

"This team finds a way, again and again, to prove that no matter what moves are made or what is thrown their way, they somehow rise above and find a way to tap into their championship pedigree..." Another look back at all the #WNBA champion Aces accomplished: www.swishappeal.com/e/65934

Lynette Woodard fulfilled her dream of playing for the Harlem Globetrotters with a little help from... Scooby-Doo? @draveszachary.bsky.social spoke to the women's hoops legend about how she became a Globetrotter 40 years ago:

"So, was the Fever’s 2025 season a success? That depends on how you look at it." High expectations. Lots of injuries. An improbable playoff run. @nemchocke.bsky.social reviews a Fever season full of twists and turns: buff.ly/PDIsSks #WNBA #WNBAsky

The Aces are, once again, #WNBA champions! buff.ly/1Y8WORm Title No. 3 was their most improbable. And we, certainly, shared plenty of skepticism about the 2025 Aces, way too prematurely declaring the dynasty dead. Here's a look back at the Aces' restoration of their dynasty. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Twice, the Aces have had the opportunity to sweep their way to a title. Both times, they came up short. Is the third time a charm? Can the Aces win championship No. 3 in sweeping fashion? Here's what needs to happen for the Aces to complete the #WNBAFinals sweep: www.swishappeal.com/e/65752

Down 0-3 in the #WNBAFinals, the Mercury are in a bad spot. Plus, they will be without Satou Sabally. But, there is a path to Phoenix accomplishing the improbable. @ecreates88.bsky.social on how the Mercury can start their comeback: www.swishappeal.com/e/65778

So, is A'ja now officially the #WNBA GOAT? @zacklward.bsky.social examined A'ja's GOAT case: buff.ly/reNsYBK And THEN she added to it, with 34 points, 14 rebounds and the game-winning shot to give the Aces a 3-0 lead in the #WNBA Finals.

Game 3 of the #WNBAFinals delivered, with A'ja providing the exclamation point. Her game-winner slammed the door on the Mercury comeback, lifting the Aces to a 3-0 lead and putting them a win away from title No. 3. @ecreates88.bsky.social on everything that led up to A'ja's shot:

In Game 3, the Aces have the opportunity to bury the Mercury and take a commanding 3-0 #WNBAFinals lead. How can they do it? With a good start, more timely scoring from the backcourt and lots of A'ja Wilson. @ecreates88.bsky.social has more the Aces' Game 3 approach: www.swishappeal.com/e/65622

Down 0-2 in the #WNBAFinals, the Mercury are lucky this is a best-of-seven series. Turning this into a long series starts in Game 3. And it starts with Alyssa Thomas. How full-force AT can get the Mercury the Game 3 victory: www.swishappeal.com/e/65597 #WNBA

"Is she the GOAT now? Is she just on track to be the GOAT? And what will she do next?" With the Aces up 2-0 in the #WNBAFinals, questions about A'ja Wilson's all-time greatness are unavoidable. @zacklward.bsky.social goes deep on whether A'ja is already the GOAT: buff.ly/reNsYBK #WNBA

It's October. And there's nothing more horrifying than A'ja Wilson, especially for an opposing defense. The Mercury discovered that in Game 2 of the #WNBAFinals, when Wilson was unstoppable. @ecreates88.bsky.social breaks down the inevitability of A'ja: buff.ly/BJOvymI #WNBA #WNBAsky

A 20-point first half from A'ja. A 21-point quarter from Jackie. Assists galore from the Point Gawd. The Aces' "Big 3" overwhelmed the Mercury in Game 2 of the #WNBAFinals. On everything that went right for Vegas and wrong for Phoenix: buff.ly/84Ql1GX #WNBAsky

An 0-1 playoff deficit is familiar territory for the Mercury. That experience, along with the team's overall strengths, should have them confident heading into Game 2 of the #WNBAFinals. @nemchocke.bsky.social on how Phoenix can even the series: buff.ly/NFOCHT7 #WNBAsky

A lot of Dana Evans, some unexpected zone defense and a timely Kiah Stokes cameo helped the Aces escape with a win in Game 1 of the #WNBAFinals. What must they maintain, as well as improve upon, to take a 2-0 series lead? More on the Aces' two-way formula for Game 2: buff.ly/zgfM5TB #WNBAsky

A'ja was her M'VP self in 3 regular-season wins against the Mercury, averaging 25 points and almost 16 rebounds. However, to ensure A'ja's advantages lead to a 3rd title, the Aces need top-notch play from their supporting stars. @nemchocke.bsky.social on LV's #WNBAFinals formula: buff.ly/qczybca

The Mercury's "Big 3" has taken them all the way to the #WNBAFinals in their first season together. Can they now topple the Aces and raise the trophy? @ecreates88.bsky.social on what needs to happen in Game 1 for PHX to complete their championship chase: buff.ly/HlRTXV4 #WNBAsky

Game 5 was an instant classic that proved what we already knew: The Fever are resilient. A'ja Wilson is the MVP. The Fever pushed the Aces to the brink, but, led by A'ja, Vegas prevailed to return to the #WNBAFinals. @ecreates88.bsky.social breaks down all the thrills: buff.ly/HHyV64w #WNBAsky
