"Anything about women's college basketball, you know about what South Carolina Don staley, her team, what they've been doing this year. I mean, to not lose a game in more than a year going for perfection, it feels like it's inevitable. Another championship for them, in your opinion, is there anybody who's going to stand in their way? Yeah, I think the team that stands in South Carolina's way is South Carolina. Even our crew, when we were doing the selection Sunday show, multiple times, we said, for a team to have success, you've got to catch up to your line on a B night, right? Like on a night where maybe ziya cooks not hot or maybe aliya Boston's getting double and triple teamed and it's working. You know what I mean? Something for South Carolina isn't working the way that they usually operate. And then you've got to be on your a game. And that's the hard part is that from what we've seen all season long, even when South Carolina is having a B game, the other team is unable to have an a game as well. So South Carolina still has ended up winning and those teams that can have an a night against South Carolina are slim. There's just not very many when you look at what you need to have component wise to play better than the gamecocks, it'll take three point shooting. It'll take efficient shots because guys, you have to think South Carolina rebounds offensively rebounds 49% of their own misses. 49%. So even a miss is almost like a pass. At that point. So there are multiplying people in terms of field goal attempts and field goal makes. And so for you, for another team, you've got to shoot a high efficiency shot because you're not going to get as many shots as them. So the ones you get, I've got to be great shots and you've got to make them. And then multiple efforts on the defensive end, you're going to need a little depth. You're going to need a little grit. You're going to need some physicality and toughness and it is doable. Is there a team that can do it? There's probably maybe a few, but it's a really, really tall task. It's definitely South Carolina versus the field right now. That offensive rebounds that is insane. I mean, from a historical perspective, just for context, historical context, where do you think this South Carolina team fits in terms of the larger history of the sport? I want a team fits in my opinion with those Yukon stretches that we saw, right? So that first you can stretch where it was, you know, and even the Tennessee stretch back in the late 90s, right, where you had the meeks and like that Tennessee team that Yukon teams with Maya Moore and Tina Charles and Tiffany Hayes that group was insane and then the Yukon team that had Brianna Stewart and Mariah Jefferson and Morgan tuck and kalina mosquito Lewis. This South Carolina team in my opinion fits with those teams. That's where I say they would fall. You mentioned her. I just want to do another minute or two on a Leah Boston because I mean, if you look through the statistical accomplishments, the awards. It's like you're scrolling endlessly on this list that never ends. How does aliyah Boston fit into what South Carolina is doing? And how good is she? Aliya Boston is the centerpiece of what South Carolina is doing by far, even if her number is not the same as last year. Everything revolves around her. And everything comes through aliyah Boston. And she's so talented. I mean, when she needs to take over a game, she has shown that she could do that. Rebound Boston. She got down. And a chance for three on a critical fourth. And she's just relentless in her will to do what the team needs her to do. And relentless in making the right decisions. Like her basketball IQ is just phenomenal. None of my watch. And we saw that happen in slow motion. But she's, she's so much fun to watch. They tip it right to aliya Boston, the all American the quick step around. Boom. Euro step from aliyah Boston right out of the gate. I mean skill set wise, the moves that she makes at the basket the way she can put the ball on the floor. So the two three zone for the wildcats. That's Boston, misses her first shot but gets the rebound and puts it back up and in and that's what you can not afford. The way she can knock down mid range jump shots, even step out and hit a three every now and then. Cross border at the Boston wide open for three bang. Aliyah Boston missed two wide open looks earlier today. She didn't miss that one in the game cost lead 72 to 61. Chicken defend on the perimeter, like at her size, she's defensive sliding and switching onto guards and doesn't even look concerned about the guard going past her or shooting over her. It's just been really amazing to watch her growth throughout her career. Yeah, that court sense is through the roof, right? You were talking before Andrea about how it's South Carolina versus the field and it's wide open when you get to the field. But obviously, Iowa and Caitlin Clark are kind of right at the top of the list of those other teams that are definitely in the mix. What do you make of Caitlin Clark and Iowa and their chances to make a deep run in this tournament? Yeah, I love Iowa's chances. You have to remember I was upset last year. And I mean, they got knocked out of the tournament early, so the bitter taste that's in their mouth is something that is going to stand and something that is going to sit with them. Those are competitive players, especially when you talk about Caitlyn Clark, but really all of them, Gabby Marshall, Monica sonata, Warnock. They're a Gritty, tough team. We were at their game against Indiana for game day, and it was so awesome. Katelyn Clark's last second three. Mind looking. His Clark, she fires and gos. She hit it. The team obviously goes as she goes, but she's, she's stronger this season. You don't see her hitting the ground as much. You see her defending better. Her shot making, but also her passing, the way they get out and transition and that's what really makes them hard. I mean, teams don't even try to offensive rebound against Iowa because they're so scared of Iowa in transition offense. So Caitlin's ability to find her teammates. She gets so much attention from the defense. She can just find her teammates. She told me that the first line of defense doesn't even bother her. It's when you send two or when you send three that she starts to get a little overwhelmed, but even that she handles like a pro. So it's so much fun. When you talk about exciting basketball, the way they knock down threes, I think I read a stat, Gabby Marshall and her last 9 games, guys, 78% from three. And that's not because that's not because she's just shooting one or two a game. Like she is knocking down three, four, 5 again. Cabbie Marshall takes the males to three that sticks. They're really exciting. The inside out play and then the hot shooting of the guards and the way that they run is just really fun to watch. I was going to say, you know, like the Steph Curry thing. I mean, is there anywhere that's not in range for Caitlin Clark and the other shooters? I mean, as soon as they get over the halfway line, basically. Yeah, that's what it seems like. That's what it seems like for sure. So Andrea, it seems like historically in the women's tournament, it's very top heavy, right? I mean, each of the last ten national champions were number one seeds. The last team to win it that wasn't number one seed was Texas a and M back in 2011. This year, there are some intriguing names, though, on that two line, including Yukon, which I think for a lot of fans is surprising. What do you expect to see from UConn and how do you sort of rate them in with those other two seeds? Yeah, I think Yukon is the number one two seed in my opinion. Now it depends on how AZ actually fuels going into the tournament, but if AZ feels 80% of what she was at the beginning of the season, like, you guys have to remember the first 6, maybe 5 or 6 games, AC was averaging 20 to four points. Like, I don't think she's going to get back to that coming back from her injury, but even if she's at 15 to 18, that team is drastically different. I mean, Caroline ducharme coming back and giving minutes off of the bench, the depth that they have. This was a number one team. This was a top ranked team early in the season before their injuries. And I think if they get back to that, we could see the same exact thing from Connecticut that we saw last year. They had a page Becker's back right before the big east tournament. And then they make a run all the way to the final four, even with page not at a 100%. So I think Connecticut, like when you talk about needing a fish and shooting, Lou Lopez and a Shaw, Aaliyah Edwards dork, you take high percentage shots, AZ bud is a sniper when she is close to fully healthy. So I think I could seek and here's the thing. They have the experience. What has it been 14 final fours in a row for Connecticut, including multiple national championships? This group has final four postseason experience, and that gives them a leg up against every other team, including the number one seed, which is a Virginia tech on their portion of the bracket. Andrea, it seems like, despite this sort of top heavy championship list, parody is still very much on the rise in women's college basketball last year, double digit seeds, Princeton Belmont, Florida Gulf Coast, they win first round games, creighton, a number ten seed gets to the elite 8 and I remember they held Caitlyn Clark to just 15 points when they beat Iowa on their way. What are the teams in this year's bracket that you think have the best chance to be Cinderella's? I mean, I think all the 8 9 seeds are definitely tough contenders, Purdue has put up some big wins this season, Alabama has a ten seat. They've got a couple of players that can get really hot. Brittany Davis is so much fun to watch for Alabama. She did not play well in their game in the SEC tournament, so I expect her to come back with a little bit of a vengeance. Middle Tennessee can score the basketball and shoot the ball really well. Georgia is a very defensive minded team. East Carolina is a very defensive minded team. There's a few that I think could really get out like marquette is a good team. They put together some really quality performances. So yeah, there's a few like 7, 8, 9, ten, 11 seeds that I think could really make a push that I'm excited to watch. And how about on the player side, one of the best parts about March Madness is sort of the star player that comes from nowhere that kind of bursts onto the scene. Is there a particular player sort of outside of the Caitlin Clark's aliyah Boston so the stars that we already know that you're keeping an eye on? Rakia Jackson for Tennessee is one for me. She transferred from Mississippi this season in her first season of freshman year of Mississippi they had a really good team. I think they were 20 wins, 6 losses, something like that. And that team would have made a push in the tournament, the tournament was canceled that year. Right. And then the next two seasons, she didn't make the tournament Mississippi state. So this is really her first appearance in the tournament, and she's had 8, 20 point games, in a row, including through the SEC tournament, including against South Carolina, 8 seconds for rakia. Austin takes over guarding her. Bounce off the backboard. You can tell we can't Jackson Woods. That battle that challenge. She is a pro in my opinion. Her Jordan horse are so much fun so rikki is one. It's an Iowa lapse in from Florida state is a freshman that has put up big time big time numbers that has been so much fun to watch. Obviously Asia recent LSU for people at home that haven't paid attention to much to the SEC, I think they're going to love watching angel Reese play. She was at Maryland last season, so a little different look there. There are a lot of players that I'm really excited for people to see just because there's just so much talent across the board. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the first one on that list was a Tennessee volunteer, huh? Yeah, I mean, you know, just first one that came to mind. Maddie seegers from Villanova. There are four seeds, but Maddie seegers from Villanova is an absolute bucket. Like, she's the one that Rebecca lobo and I have talked about because you think, oh, Villanova and you don't think too much about Villanova, but Maddie seagrass is one to watch for sure.

What do you tell these guys? Skipper Dave Martinez? We got upon this race on tell a lot of these guys every day. Hey, when you're in a high leverage, situation, things automatically speed up and You've got to understand that you need to slow things down, understand where you're out at that point and just try to take everything pitch the pitch and that's thrown strikes, make a good pitches and do the little things and we talk about all time. So you know, they just got to go out there and and relax. Not all the youngsters struggled.

That know charles can because like you have tina charles and you can have a functional playoff of offense regardless sir teams in new york like showed us that As for the rest of like. I don't know it's it's really tough because like going into this season you had like alicia clark. You know championship pedigree In tasha obviously natasha cloud. Who is the point guard on that championship team You know that was they have. They've had to deal with a lot basically and it's like trying to like pogo through like the different things i've had do with it. It's been rough. So i mean just pain and speaking of pain like watching. The mystics against the sparks was pretty much the worst point of my wnba experience for the year. Two thousand twenty one. And it's funny. Because i haven't saying that when tina charles is out it's blake mystics donor. What they're doing on offense but kind of seem like they did against which is what's so crazy about. That team is light. It looks really good when everything is flowing and then you get into these situations where they bring off the court and disorder. Pass it around without any purpose as to what they're trying to accomplish any possession other than maybe My hands allen can do something epic inside of the paint or josh cloud like breakdown defender and obviously areal atkins Is having a really good season. I think that's gone quite a bit overlooked. Just because she's on the same team. Is tina charles in the mystics. Haven't been as good as i think. Some people might have predicted. But i just they don't have enough depth bike I like a lot of individual things that are happening with washington but they get into this habit of they go really big in the first half and then everybody gets super tired and they blow in the second half and it was. I think that's happened like five times since the olympic greg. I don't think i'm exaggerating legitimately. They've blown five double digit leads since the olympic break came back on. See i mean. It's it's weird to say that like on a league that's overflowing with talent and there should be plenty of good players to stock up on every single team like it seems like even in the w. there still concentrated pockets of talent and not everybody gets to their or share for washington's is no wasting roster spot on a leash clark and then they saved a bramham Working out atlanta's not their tina's out there too like they have so many pieces. It's just bad luck. One thing after another Historic killed them. Because i think they run better staff just about anybody in the league. I trust my loaded with him.

"Away from anything that charles doing this year In fact i think if fully healthy the washington mystics probably have a roster that can go toe to toe with anybody in the league including seattle including connecticut. We haven't mentioned yet on his episode. But we've talked about a lot this year because they're already beating beating teams. They should beat by a lot with justyna charles out there. So it's drew if you get dulled on back me del. Don's legit if she's if he's healthy she wanted. Mvp not too long ago and she still has a basketball after otherwise you yoshi wouldn't bother coming back from some pretty painful injuries so sounds like trying to battle back and play I don't think it's going to be a situation where it's like. Oh there's only one basketball would dina charles is going to have to take a step back and it's gonna be della donne team like that's team. That wants to win in knows how to win and one not not in not in the distant past. So they know how to be unselfish about the basketball so i i wouldn't worry at all about charles trajectory. If if don could come back to your. I think that'd be a good thing for everyone involved. I agree. i think. Tina charles della donne. Emma meesseman like i don't see any of those three necessarily stepping on each other's toes. I think the way that each of them plays the game just opens things up for for one another. Let's let's chat. Let's let's stay with bigs in the league and another question from s- money how do you think. Do you think that. Liz cam beijing. Asia wilson would work together long term.

"But they were able to their lead with their defense. Actually they turn them over turnover pretty well two games but then they also be Connecticut which had to be a confidence booster but they go into that game against washington as you mentioned washington had season. High points off turnovers with twenty three. They forced minnesota to twenty one. Turnovers had thirteen steals. We'll get to the mystics committed where it seemed like things are are starting to shape up a bit but the links twenty turnovers tied for the most in a game this season i agree with you. I just think it's a team. That's still getting their footing. Kristie think may struggle a little bit more out of the gates is those that were missing players either due to injury coming back from overseas like the feast was Or or later rivals. you know. maybe she'll read Becoming available with something cheryl read just felt like she had to take advantage of. I'm sure a lot of teams league felt like they needed laser clarendon with her experience but You know so so things are still coming together but it seems like those teams that are making late changes late. Ads may be the ones that starts to really hit their stride. And before i get to a team that's added some pieces in his starting to move in the dallas wings. Let's talk about your mistakes. Got that win over minnesota and from those of us on the outside looking at washington this year. It was okay. How's tina charles going to do. They're sitting ninth right now. Three in five coach tibo said early. Let's not get carried away with the expectations. This team is going to get better as the season goes on teen got four thirty point games this year in the mvp conversation. Some changes to the lineup. I think zealous started the other day. Give us some insight on where the mystics are right now. I mean they're right where they want to be. I think right now in terms of having tina charles played some of her best basketball and she's just been consisted. Like you said i mean. She has worth point games but she also has the ability to be a great leader for this team. In the absence of elena della donne who has not seen the court. I think that is still something. That is intriguing to say the lease when she gets back into the mix with tina charles but the fact that she is leading the league in scoring let china i think that speaks volumes to what she wants out of this experience in. Dc and the fact that washington won a championship in twenty nineteen. That was enticing for her to make her way back to a place. That's comfortable for her. I mean she played for my tibo in connecticut for years. He drafted her. She won the mvp under his religion. Twenty twelve so. I think with back kind of hunger around you have asked the players. What does that hunger for a championship due to you. Even though you've already won one and this was terrible. She said it just empowers me. You know to have somebody. You almost wanna do it for her. you know. and she's in her fourth year this year area as she did it in a couple of beers and the league for a while so she she kind of kind of echoed. What a lot of the players who are remaining on the roster for washington wanna championship. They have a player like tina charles until they weren't a winner for her then just makes them go harder. So i think my tibo. He says it properly everyday when the day and take it step by step. And you know he's never gonna say advocates like we're gonna do it. Even though the underbelly of that is we want to do it all. But it's not gonna happen right away. There's still some rumblings of emma meesseman making return after the olympic break. So that's also something to keep an eye on for washington. But i think they have a great mix of players. Sydney weeks unfortunately is out with an ankle injury by. That's not gonna take too long to come back from and she's going to be back out there striking for three so i think the spread offense is is really great to see. My asia hines allen. Had a fantastic year last year second team all wnba at the end of the bubble situation and she just made some great strides her confidence and she played big minutes in france so her conditioning. Great she says you know. I've never played this many minutes. You know before last year. Then i went overseas to play the more big minutes so she center epic shape mentally and physically you. She's taking that load off of players. Like tina charles so with both of them on the floor. They're really starting to come together. In gel and costa said today prior to the la sparks game. That they really don't have practice time to gain that chemistry that chemistry that those two in particular are gaining. That is happening in game. So that's fun for me to see. Because he can't get into the practice excel. I like watch a dynamic of of those two players really play off of one. Another when tina's double teamed my asia moves well and relocates to the sweet spot. And they're they're really find me one another that way. Yeah i mean to. Your point hines allen. Had thirty two against vegas again. That washington just came so close. I mean you win. That one in your confidence is sky high right with the way we've seen vegas performance stretches any word on windows dot will be back. Is that still a little bit of a mystery. It is a mystery in. It's unfortunate because it. It's almost like you know you see you're at the games you know from from the eyeball tests. There's no she's not laboring. She's not limping around. She's not the stiffer tight. So keep an eye on. I'm bob so much. I never i see those i watch it every little paying but no no word yet at the beginning of the season chievo had said you know three to six games. But you know now. We're seven games in here in dc in. I still no no word. You know whatever we get the report of injuries. She's always on there saying out back so we're just patiently waiting No news i guess is good news but i mean. I don't think you're any setbacks by me saying that al setback. So that's good news part of it so i guess we're just kind of anxiously waiting for the all clear by the training staff to permit Second back surgery after that initial went after the twenty nine championship. So i know. She's trying to contend for a roster spot with usa basketball as well so that's something to consider so. I don't know what that looks like for. Elena della donne but i hope she gets back out there because i want to see that mix that we never got to see last year with words Cloud out there and afghans to see that mix. I want to see what that looks like. Yes ima back. I don't know how. Coach steve will make all that work on the roster but anyway that's why he's one of the best in the business all right But you're right. Tina charles is averaging twenty six points per game to lead the wnba guba. Wally at twenty two per game so a little bit of a tina's up there. Speaking of the last team we wanted to ask you about is the dallas wings wings. Who have won two in. And it's not just that they've won two in a row and they are in that spot so the bottom up goes indiana chicago. Minnesota washington mystics in dallas But the two that they want were against seattle but the heartbreaker shot by a rejig. Wally and against phoenix so against two teams that are headed them in the standings and just curious as i mentioned earlier sort of that theme of getting players back in the mix you know. Now they've got sought to sabally Who's who's healthy and playing and obviously marina mabry is having a tremendous season has to be the front runner right now for for most improved from last year but You know with the rega- with her scoring ability. I like this young wings team and now they've got a leash gray back as the other player..
