the 2026 Dallas Wings are averaging 13.7 fast break points per game, which is more than any team has averaged in a season over the last few years (excluding all star teams 🙂) hopefully they keep it up today so i can make a video about it!

if you feel like there have been more fouls than usual so far this season... working on a full video for tomorrow on my instagram! #wnba

i am working on my next wnba stat school video about the four factors of basketball, with the Aces as the main example :)) #wnba #lasvegasaces #sportsanalytics

working on some charts for my next video about AT :))))

Perri Page and Columbia have won 23 straight opening tips ahead of today's Ivy Madness semifinals, per Columbia Athletics. @herhoopstats.com's @wnbadata.bsky.social finds that teams that win the tip are slightly more likely than their pregame odds suggest to win the game. #NCAAWBB

I was looking for a WBB version of BracketMatrix and couldn't find any, so I fired up Codex and made one myself. (It’ll update every few hours until Selection Sunday, but not much will change now.) I'll plan to host it properly next season, but for now it’s here: whitakk.github.io/wbb-bracket-...

Today’s newsletter is a behind‑the‑scenes of my StudBudz Unrivaled 1‑on‑1 video. Picking the hook, logging the games, deciding what not to explain on screen, and how I use stats without losing the fun. link: wnbadata.beehiiv.com/p/how-i-turn...

i loved this Unrivaled lineup deep dive by Dan Falkenheim at Sports Illustrated, so I turned his rankings into a chart + quick explainer video ⬇️ www.si.com/ranking-top-...

I love @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social Elam Ending, but it hasn’t felt like a lot of comebacks, so I checked: 11 of 79 games are 3Q comebacks (~14%) WNBA 2016–2025 ~15.9% have 3Q comeback small samples, but I kinda expected the 11 point target to increase comeback wins, not stay around WNBA levels!

I explain WNBA data to 13K+ people on TikTok. Then I taught it in a college classroom. Here's what surprised me about teaching sports analytics (and why communication matters more than code) wnbadata.beehiiv.com/p/hot-take-t...

i turned my wnba tiktok into a college course this summer taught 21 students at UW how to turn sports data into stories people actually care about. we went to a Storm game, learned data viz, and they made their own explainer videos wrote about the whole thing: wnbadata.beehiiv.com/p/i-turned-m...

can any Lynx fans tell me if they do giveaways based on in-game events, like missed free throws? this is part 4 of my wnba investigations, the most suspicious thing so far being how good the Lynx are at hitting requirements for giveaways that don’t apply to them www.instagram.com/reel/DR-ztOV...

ALL THREE SEATTLE STORM FANS TO THE FRONT 😀 We did our 2025 Seattle Storm recap with everybody’s favorite data knower, Maddy aka @wnbadata.bsky.social ! Tune as we talk about the future of Seattle!

Cathy Engelbert can fix the WNBA CBA with this one simple trick!!! @wnbadata.bsky.social

How Becky Hammon switched up the Aces’ defensive strategy to help them win the championship 🏆 @wnbadata.bsky.social

another banger for suzanne! #suebird #jewellloyd #wnbaplayoffs

The Aces really won it all 🏆 @wnbadata.bsky.social puts their weird championship season into context!

@wnbadata.bsky.social on how huge free throws were in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals. Tough for the Mercury 😬

Breaking down WNBA Finals Game 1 through code 👀 @wnbadata.bsky.social How great are the Mercury in the fourth quarter? Is the Aces' new bench strategy working? Should Alyssa Thomas have made those free throws (statistically)?

Napheesa Collier called out the WNBA’s lack of transparency in her strong statement. @wnbadata.bsky.social proves that the inconsistent ref data is definitely shady. What are they hiding?

Was the Mercury’s 20-point comeback vs. the Lynx really the 3rd-largest in WNBA playoff history?? Who are first and second??? Why doesn’t Google have the answer?????? @wnbadata.bsky.social had to investigate.

Can you predict who makes or even wins the WNBA playoffs by looking at bench production? @wnbadata.bsky.social breaks it down.

I was so shook Breanna Stewart was the only player to score for the Libs in the 4th with the season on the line, I had to look for other times a similar thing has happened. Here’s what I found! More coming @joinoffside.bsky.social 👀 #wnbaplayoffs #newyorkliberty #breannastewart

my annual video on why the wnba finals moving to a best of 7 series makes sense mathematically #wnbaplayoffs #probability #sportsanalytics www.tiktok.com/@wnbadata/vi...

the AP rookie of the year has been announced (separate from the official wnba award) but maybe that bumps up her chances closer to 98% tbh

The rumors are true 👀 I will be attending #ssac25 as part of the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Mentorship Program! I’m excited to learn more about how industry professionals use data to tell sports stories and to meet new people 🫡🏀 #sportsanalytics #womeninsports
