Follow me over on Threads - to keep up with NCAA WBB Players Rankings - Class by Class, WNBA, Canadian Senior Women's National Basketball Team news/updates. My blog - covers all of NCAA WBB/WNBA/Can SWNT. Peace out! Bye Xwitter!
I know that Paige Bueckers is from Minnesota, but please, don't make her your main storyline, ESPN. PLEASE. There are other main storylines you can make as well. Talk about South Carolina and Stanford's dominance. Talk about other teams too. GROW THE GAME. Thanks.
NBA players such as Lebron James have access to WNBA players and can text them. There was no need for him to tweet what he tweeted. I'm so tired of NBA players not knowing WNBA basics. It's exhausting.
Late night tweet, but I really hope we see a ton of media coverage on Sylvia Fowles last season in the WNBA as well. She's also a very special player and superstar. I'm going to write about what her impact means on the blog this week, but I want her impact to be felt everywhere.
You know what made ESPN realize they need a WNBA Free Agency show for the first time ever? We did. Wsindr, TheNextHoops, HerhoopStats, independent news breakers, and of course
#wnbatwitter
people. We made the interest so high THEY HAD to do this. Keep using your voices. Push!!
Jeff Van Gundy just shouted out Sue Bird and her 3000 assists. Nice to hear WNBA conversation mixed in naturally in the NBA Finals broadcast, rather than hearing a promo.
I'm REALLY tired of NBA teams who have WNBA teams associated with them being called the "heroes" for when they do the right thing or stand up for WNBA Players. I'm sick of NBA players being interviewed in WNBA Playoffs. I RARELY see WNBA players interviewed at NBA Playoffs. Sigh
One last thing: I'm tired of the disrespect the WNBA Playoff games air on. They should be on ESPN. Not ESPN2. Hello, elimination games? The drama, the intrigue. Don't you want a bigger audience? I'm sick and tired of seeing it.
Seattle Storm going all in with Sue Bird's final season, by signing one of the greatest defenders in the WNBA in Briann January (who is also in her final year) to help Bird out.
The rise of the WNBA interest is increasing because today, I had a high of visitors/views and I didn't post anything, just my old posts getting views. When rookies play well in the WNBA early, it really gets the college viewers attention.
Ok, put Candace Parker on ABC broadcasts as a commentator after she retires. She's damn good as an analyst and tells the truth every time. She said her team was lucky to get the win. Straight truth. Not only that, so familiar already with the ESPN crew. DO IT, ESPN. DO IT.
I like it when ESPN tweets about more women's college basketball players. They keep doing this and spreading knowledge about other great WCBB players as well, it'll help shine a bigger spotlight and help them land even better endorsements. 😀
Very bright and early good morning. The WNBA has reached $75 million in outside capital raise, the highest for any women's sports property. Today, I don't want to hear anything negative about how the league runs it's business. This shows they are trying. 👍
The WNBA Draft is tomorrow evening and so I want to give thanks to the Las Vegas Aces for recognizing my hard work and putting up my WNBA Mock Drafts on their Draft Central. As a result, the WNBA saw this & put it on the official website as well, late March & linked it in April.
The WNBA is FINALLY HERE in downtown Toronto!! Go see the WNBA sculpture at the CN Tower!!! Take your families/little girls with you. 😎💗 15 years baby I've waited for this.

I just wanted to say that my Twitter algorithm has been amazing because I got to see so many tweets about people receiving WNBA merchandise as their Christmas gifts and then taking pictures of it. I love it. It's so nice to see how the league can continue making an impact. 🥰😍
Sigh. I woke up to half of my notifications telling me that I should be grateful and that I should be glad an NBA player talked about the WNBA. Seriously?? What is wrong with y'all. OMG. Sigh.
One of the reasons why I wanted to come to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the Women's Final Four is because this state really does support women's basketball and I wanted to see it with my own eyes and they've done a great job of hosting. Very appreciative of my first Final Four.
WNBA AGENTS PLEASE give the WNBA reporters your players free Agency information instead of these big time NBA reporters who don't give a damn about the league. Go to
@RachGall
. Smh.
BREAKING: Napheesa Collier is pregnant. She's due in May, which means she will miss the WNBA season. A big piece missing for the Lynx will be missing. Congratulations

The Greatest Women's College Basketball Players Bracket (1997-2020) Challenge Winner was...
@Candace_Parker
of the Lady Vols! The details can be found in this post.
Already over the MNBA fans talking about Jonquel Jones salary as a potential core player. If it bothers you so much, why not do something about it? Go watch a game. Buy a jersey. Matter of fact, bug a rich investor/group to buy a WNBA team when the league is ready for it. 😒
Don't ever come to me with saying there's "no coverage" of the WNBA/WCBB to me ever again. Just published 2 blog posts, and another article that goes live in the morning. I've been busy and scrambling all day. It's rude and disrespectful to those who grind weekly. Good night.
I gained a lot of new followers today, so I'm going to re-introduce who I am. I am a Canadian 🇨🇦 blogger/writer who writes in three areas of women's basketball. Women's College Basketball, the WNBA and the Canadian Senior Women's National Team. I blog and I write for 2-3 sites.
Please don't be like Kim Mulkey and take off your masks. Covid-19 is still very real, a threat. Did you know that as Canadians, me and my fellow Ontario residents are still in lockdown. It's not a joke. It's insulting to see a future HOF coach take it as such. 😣
It's past 12 am here on the East Coast, but this milestone needs to be highlighted early. Diana Taurasi needs 19 points tonight vs the Connecticut Sun to reach 9000 POINTS. She will be the first EVER WNBA Player to hit that scoring milestone.

NEW: I am creating a WNBA Player Database List which will be updated from now until late July when the WNBA season will tip off in which I will update the status of every single signed player and whether or not they will play. It will make it easier for fans, media, bloggers
What I am the most happiest is that all tourney games will be on ESPN2, ESPN, ESPNU AND ABC. No more trying to find games on ESPN3 or ESPN+. No more box score watching, no more trying to find intriguing games while watching blowouts on TV. I'm so happy, I could cry. Big stuff.
Start the countdown. We officially now have 10 days until WNBA Free Agents can start negotiating with any teams. Does Liz Cambage want to stay with Las Vegas? Does Jewell Loyd want to go play somewhere else? Jan.15th is when all of that begins.

Absolutely stunning to see Kentucky defeat
#1
South Carolina in the SEC conference tournament. Wow! Kentucky stamped their ticket to the NCAA tournament! We get to see Rhyne Howard in March Madness!
I truly do not understand the Phoenix Mercury. You waive Megan Walker, you don't bring back Sophie Cunningham either. You sign Shey Peddy to just a training camp contract. The only good thing they did was send a qualifying offer to Kia Nurse. What about your youth??
I usually don't do late night tweets, but to all the WNBA players/American/Canadian players please come home if you are currently playing in Russia or Ukraine. Safety is utmost importance right now. Please stay safe. 🙏🙏
BREAKING NEWS: FIRST WNBA Game held in Canada sets records for attendance, viewership and merchandise sales. We did it!! Now, how much longer do we have to wait for? 🤔 19,923 fans is a record for most watched WNBA preseason game and second most watched WNBA game ever.
It's officially March 30th. I turn 30 years old today. Three decades. 30 on 30. That will never happen again. And it happened during quarantine. Sigh* Oh well. Happy Birthday to Meeee 😍🍰
Just want to say that's it's pretty neat that Twitter recommends my account to follow when new WNBA/WCBB fans/media/personalities sign up and have a new account. Just shows how much my account has grown since when I used to write about the SA Stars and have a small presence. 🙂
I've said this many, many times before, but Cameron Brink is yet another star player for that special WNBA 2024 Draft class. She has versatility and can be an impact player for a future WNBA team. She's showing bits and pieces (before she got hurt) in this Sweet 16 game.
Breanna Stewart says that the one year deal is because of the CBA's rule regarding the prioritization. She just wanted more freedom because of that rule. Question was asked by
@WNBAStormChaser
Betnijah Laney now has scored 20 or more points in six straight games, matching Cappie Pondexter who also had 6 straight games of 20 or more points in 2008. Joining elite company.

Sigh. I used to love WNBA League Pass as a Canadian because I could see 80% of live games. Now, not so much. Half of them are blocked. Not all of us still have all of these extra sports channels anymore. :(
Hey
@LaChinaRobinson
@RebeccaLobo
please make sure you highlight Sylvia Fowles on the show today because it is her final season and she is just as important. Thank you.
I don't ever remember this many WNBA Free Agents signings on the first day ever. And I mean, some big WNBA Free Agent signed too. This is nuts. It also means that the WNBA is growing.
It is shocking to hear Candace Parker leave LA. It is. Especially after what she helped lead there. Lisa Leslie wanted Candace Parker to continue her legacy and it is kind of sad to see her go. But for Chicago, this is such a great trade to WIN right away.
Now, the WNBA just needs to tell me when to buy WNBA League Pass. I've said it again and in previous years, but it is the best deal when it comes to sports streaming. (Also, for us Canadians/internationals, we do not have to worry about region restrictions, so YEA it's GREAT!)
Today is the deadline for college seniors/international players to declare for the WNBA Draft. Whoever can get the list published, it would be greatly appreciated to please share it with the rest of us. I'm putting together my FINAL Mock Draft which will be released next week. 🙏
I know it's only Day 4, but anyone else a little overwhelmed by the amount of WNBA games every day? I like to watch the whole league so I pretty much watch every game. If I can't watch it live, I watch the replay. Problem is, when I finish replays, more live games happen.
Big, big congratulations goes out to Penny Taylor, Delisha Milton-Jones and Becky Hammon on being named as part of the 2022 Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. All 3 players, I've watched large parts of their careers. How sweet to see them inducted!

Hey ESPN, where's your story on the undefeated California Baptist team? They are 26-0 and are going to the WNIT quarterfinals to face Rice on Monday. Hello???
Hey you! ESPN is giving $5000, yes, $5000 dollars away in their WNBA Mock challenge! Answer 10 questions in your entries (you can enter twice) for a chance to win! Use your WNBA/NCAAW knowledge to win! I entered, did you? 🤔
Now that the NEW YEAR is here, it's time for the 2022 WNBA Free Agency period! Teams can officially start sending out offers to their restricted free agents, reserved players and can core a free agent. Let the games begin!!

Courtney Vandersloot needs 9 rebounds tonight to reach 1000 rebounds. She will join Sue Bird & Lindsay Whalen as the only other 2 WNBA players to have 3K points, 2K assists and IK rebounds.
I've gained a bunch of new followers within the past two months and since the WNBA season started, I thought I would re - introduce myself. My name is Aneela, I'm a late 20+ Muslim woman who got into the WNBA in 2008 when Candace Parker entered the league.
It's official. I will be covering the Toronto WNBA preseason game next Saturday for Her Hoop Stats. I am beyond thrilled. I've been wanting WNBA games in Toronto since I was an 18 year old girl. 😀💕🏀🤩

Lauren Cox is available and in my personal opinion, shouldn't have to wait too long to hear a WNBA GM pick her up for their team. I don't have inside information, but she still has potential to be great.
I'd like to take this tweet to acknowledge the retirement of Tanisha Wright and Camille Little. Thanks for both providing us some great moments over the years!
@nyliberty
@PhoenixMercury
WOW. The Indiana Fever's 5 game losing streak is OVER! What a really nice win over the LA Sparks. What a cool way to get your first win as interim head coach for Carlos Knox.
#WNBATwitter
I'm so excited!! I'm going to my first EVER Toronto Raptors game of the season!! (Yes I know, I've been a Raptors fan for 13 years, but this is my first in person game ever) I can see Luka Dončić in person tonight. Me and my best friend are about to have some fun. 🏀
Paige Bueckers and the UConn women's basketball team can sign deals starting Monday, who do you see Paige signing with? (I do not have inside information, FYI.) Just curious. 🤔
I've seen more WNBA players on SportsCenter Twitter posts this season than any other season. It's not just superstars they highlight. I've seen them highlight some players that not many people are aware of to. Spreading the word. If they did this every WNBA game, it would be FIRE
Ok I lied. This is my final tweet. I just want to echo what
@nemchocke
said about WNBA media. There were 3x more WNBA reporters/media this season. A couple of years ago, that was not happening. You had to scrounge the internet for information. THANK YOU WNBA MEDIA! THANK YOU!
Yay!!!! Happy for Lauren Cox!!! She's going to the LA Sparks on a rest of season contract per
@RachGall
! Her first test will be tough however. The Sparks face the Aces and she will have to deal with Wilson & Cambage.
Umm....I have been watching ESPN here in Minnesota and they haven't mentioned the NCAA W Final Four yet and it starts tomorrow AND they have the rights!!
Kelsey Plum is really benefitting from having Becky Hammon as her head coach. She seems more confident and more willing to attack and be aggressive. Seems like a totally different WNBA player.
#WNBATwitter
Coming up in 30 minutes, Stanford and South Carolina face off on ESPN2. For WNBA fans, the two potential top 2 picks for next year face off. Aliyah Boston is the potential
#1
draft pick and Haley Jones is the potential
#2
pick next year. College fans can enjoy the rivalry.
Hey
@verified
you need to verify
@RachGall
. She's the top go to source for WNBA news/free agency reporting for over a couple of years now. She deserves it. I truly appreciate her coverage.
