00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: stop watching the clip of American tennis player Danielle Collins

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: heckling the hostile crowd at the Australian Open when I

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: say our jaws dropped. It's Friday, January seventeenth, and on

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: need to know about and HBCUs that could make noise

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: in the NCAA Tourney. Plus no love in this tennis match,

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: rule changes you need to know before Unrivaled tips off tonight,

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: plus your chance to own a slice. It's all coming

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: up right after this Happy Friday welcome back. Here's what

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: you need to know today in Pro hoops news.

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: Unrivaled tips off tonight. That's right.

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: The new three on three League holds its first two games,

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: starting at seven pm Eastern with Missed BC against Lunar

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: owls BC, followed by ROSEBC and Vinyl BC at eight

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: to fifteen. Both games will be broadcast live on TNT

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: and no none of the teams are from BC British Columbia.

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: That stands for Basketball Club. Unrivaled rules and format are

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: a little different from what we've seen in the WNBA

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: and in Olympic three x three competition, so we'll link

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: to a post in our show notes from the folks

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: that just women's sports that explains some key differences, including

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: one big one. There are three seven minute quarters and

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: then a winning score fourth quarter where they add eleven

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: points to the winning team's score, and then that's the

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: total a team needs to hit to win the game.

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: So let's say it's a forty to thirty eight game

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: through three quarters, the first team to fifty one wins

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: it walk off style. It's that whole elam ending that

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned in a previous show, and I swear I

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: didn't know that they were using it.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: I think the Unrivaled folks just read my mind. They

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: know I love an elam ending. You can check the

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:54,760

Speaker 1: Unrivaled games and host official watch parties during the season,

48
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: they'll feature cheer items and merch for fans. Speaking of cheering,

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: By the way, I gotta start talking about my squad, Phantom,

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: We by far have the best name for our fans.

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: We actually have a couple.

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: It's either the fandom with pH Ghost Gang, or, as

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Satoosabaly said, the Ghosties.

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, y'all, you can't compete with us. You can't.

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: In volleyball news, we've got more League one volleyball going

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: down tonight. Love Salt Lake and Love Madison hit the

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: court at Wisconsin Fieldhouse at nine pm Eastern. You can

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: catch that action on ESP More Vibes. The Pro Volleyball

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Federation has a match later in the night between the

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Omaha Supernovas and the Vegas Thrill at Lee's Family Forum.

61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: That one starts at ten pm Eastern you can watch

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: on YouTube. And speaking of the Omaha Supernovas, news broke

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday that there is yet another volleyball league starting

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: next year, Major League Volleyball, and that the Omaha Supernovas

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: will be leaving the PVF to join that new league.

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: Let's just say, we have a lot of questions about

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: how many startup professional volleyball leagues one country can have,

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: especially with so few dedicated volleyball reporters and outlets to

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: cover them. We're going to address that down the road.

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: In WNBA news, the Indiana Fever are getting a dedicated,

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: seventy eight million dollars world class sports performance center in

72
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: downtown Indianapolis. Pacer Sports and Entertainment, the company behind the Fever,

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: released plans to break ground on the center in August.

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: They planned open doors before the twenty twenty seven WNBA season.

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Three stories, one hundred and eight thousand square feet, connected

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to Gainbridge Field House by a skybridge.

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: And a bunch of amenities.

78
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Two regulation sized courts with strength and conditioning equipment, a

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Yogan palates area, a spat like retreat with massages, an

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: infrared light therapy sauna, steam and heat studios, a float tank,

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: hydrotherapy pools, private outdoor courtyard, mental performance space, is a

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: hair and nail salon, childcare space, a podcasting content production studio.

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: This place is going to have everything, and they thought

84
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of the fans. The center is going to have a

85
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Fever team store and offer some exclusive fan experiences. Some

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: cool responses to this, including from unrestricted free agent most

87
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: recently with the Las Vegas Aces Alicia Clark, who tweeted

88
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: about the facility news quote, all these w teams investing

89
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: in their own facilities. You love to see it. The

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: days of practicing in churches, old community centers, and schools

91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: is coming to an end. This is the investment the

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: OGS have pushed for since the inception of the league.

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: End quote.

94
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Clark went on quote The thing I really love is

95
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: that this younger generation of players, who have now been

96
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: passed the torch to carry this league forward, won't have

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: to know what it feels like sleeping in an airport

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: because of a delay. What being told not to go

99
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent on a court because the court isn't safe.

100
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: What having to move out of a locker room after

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: every season feels like? What not having the proper resources

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: and still showing up and thriving at your job. Feels

103
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: like all they'll know is professionalism and professional treatment, and

104
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I love that for them.

105
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: End quote.

106
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Sky's the limit for players with the kind of resources, facilities,

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: and treatment that men athletes have been getting for decades,

108
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: as for the players that will use that Fever facility.

109
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: On Thursday, the team extended a core qualifying offer to

110
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: guard Kelsey Mitchell, giving the team exclusive negotiating rights tour.

111
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: In return, Mitchell gets a guaranteed supermax offer around two

112
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine thousand for the twenty twenty five season.

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: The core offer makes a ton of sense. The two

114
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: time All Star has been a key piece for the

115
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: Fever and is one of the top free agents available

116
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: this offseason. She joined the squad is the number two

117
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: draft pick in twenty eighteen, and spend the team's leading

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: scorer in five a first seven seasons. Mitchell and Katelon

119
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Clark were one of the most efficient backcourts in the

120
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: league in twenty twenty four, both averaging nineteen point three

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: points per game. To College Hoops, the NCDA AZE membership

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: unanimously voted to approve paying women's basketball teams. Quote unquote

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: performance units for playing games in the NCAA Tournament each March,

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: just like the men have four years. The units will

125
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: be distributed to women's teams playing in the tournament starting

126
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: this year, and a team that reaches the final four

127
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: could bring its conference roughly one point twenty six million

128
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: dollars Over the next three years in financial rewards, fifteen

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: million in total will be awarded to the teams. That's

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: twenty six percent of the current women's basketball media revenue

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: deal and on par with what men's basketball teams received

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: the first year at the Performance Units program was established

133
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one. That total will grow to twenty

134
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: five million, or forty one percent of the revenue by

135
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. You can read more about the vote

00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: give a shout out to Certified Slice Molly Pritz, who's

153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,280

Speaker 1: the four competing schools together with the community to fill

155
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Ted Garden with fans. These are the same folks who

156
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: helped fill the garden for the Connecticut Sun game there

157
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: last summer.

Speaker 4: I am at day one slice, So yes, this is outsteady.

203
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: To have this opportunity to spend some time with you today.

204
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: Awesome. We love to hear it. I want to start

205
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: big picture.

206
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: Maybe some of the names folks know, the biggest names

207
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: in women's college hoops, the front runners for national Player

208
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: of the year.

209
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: Who's on your list?

210
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: We need to say that for everybody else's list.

211
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: You know, Hannah Hidalgo, Juju Watkins, Page Beckers, you know,

212
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: Laura Betts. Uh, those are probably the top names. And

213
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: how lucky were we this year to you know, have

214
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 4: those matchups right, to have Hanna Hidago go against so

215
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: Juju and Paige and vice versa. You know they you know,

216
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: Dori Day USC and you kind of all played each

217
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 4: other this year, which was outstanding for everybody. And then

218
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: I'm maybe a little by just because of my geographical location,

219
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: but I'm a huge Cheyenne Sellers and Kaylee's Michael fann

220
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: at at versa of Maryland. I mean, I know they won't,

221
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: you know, necessarily be considered for Player of the Year,

222
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: but I think Cheyenne and Kayleen are one of the

223
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: best duels in the country. And uh, you know, I

224
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: had the opportunity last week to cover the USC Maryland

225
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: game and write about Cheyennes on w b A Prospects,

226
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: and uh and go and and go really deep dive

227
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: on on wish he breaks to the game.

228
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder if you think the success of the

229
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: teams will have an impact down the stretch on who

230
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: ultimately wins this award, because I think you know, Page

231
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: and Yukon have a real high upside, but we have

232
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: seen them not be able to finish against the best

233
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: teams this year. You've got a team like Notre Dame

234
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: that got a couple first place votes in the AP

235
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: rankings this week trying to steal that spot from UCLA,

236
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: where Hidalgo might get some points for that, but also

237
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Olivia Miles is so strong, does that take away from

238
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: her case? Like how do you see the final stretch

239
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: of this season affecting the odds?

240
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: That's a really good question, really good thought process.

241
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: And you know, as somebody that has you know, spent

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: my time on numerous committees and voted and obviously been

243
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 4: on at least a Leslie a ward committee is always

244
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: hard because because you do get to a point where

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: you are kind of picky Straws that said, well, you know,

246
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: hit the head, but then they all you know, Page backers,

247
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: oh and too against Dori, David usc and you know,

248
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: obviously Noyi Day beat USC, so I tende lean slightly

249
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 4: towards Dago based on that, you know, just they hit

250
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: the hit day. But I do think team success is important.

251
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: Sometimes it feels like U kind does have a built

252
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: in a vege because they are they are probably hit

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 4: the shows above every team in the Big East this year,

254
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: whereas Juju is going to be navigating a minefield. And yeah,

255
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 4: same thing with Hannah and the ACC. So I think

256
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: deep success does play a part in it. But I

257
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 4: also think that Juju as well. I mean, if she

258
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: has another game like he had Sunday and strings and

259
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: feurials consistently together, it'd be hard to argue against her.

260
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: Right now, that would say, mid mid season, Hannah Hadago

261
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: by a slider EDG.

262
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like that's where people are leaning. You've

263
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: been in the rooms having these conversations.

264
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: I'm curious.

265
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, we talk a lot, and in my many

266
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: years doing ESPN National Radio covering all the biggest stories,

267
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about In NBA MVP, it was

268
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: like whose turn is it right? There was reluctance to

269
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: give someone the same award multiple years in a row,

270
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: or there was a lot of conversation about well, who's

271
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: hot right now? Who's interesting in the women's college basketball space.

272
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: Do you think conversations that people have affect their voting

273
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: in the same way, because you know, like you mentioned,

274
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: this is an individual award, but people might be trying

275
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: to take team success as some sort of indication of

276
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: whether that individual steps up. You look at someone like

277
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: Paige Yukon hasn't been able to finish, but she has

278
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: been a model of efficiency. She has been the player

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: that shows up in those games even when other players

280
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: are injured or they've struggled to find cohesion. And so

281
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: is there an extra bonus for that as opposed to

282
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: Hannah who gets to lean on someone like Olivia who's

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: going to be a superstar next to where every game?

284
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: How much do those conversations get in people's heads when

285
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: they're making these decisions versus looking at box score? How

286
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: much are you looking at eye tests versus numbers?

287
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: I prefer the eye test, boys, so did the numbers,

288
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: because numbers can be skewed however you want them to look.

289
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: One of the blessings have been an sid for so

290
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: many years and work in basketball is you have conversations

291
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: with basketball coaches or you spend time with them watching

292
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 4: film where you see them breaking down different things that

293
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: you have those different intangible conversations, right, And I think

294
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: we're all guilty of it when it comes to page

295
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 4: back because the excellence is taken for granted. And I

296
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: think sometimes people when somebody is at a high level

297
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: consistently like they, oh, okay, that's page well, she's supposed

298
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: to get twenty five and so.

299
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: Smooth, so smooth. She makes it look too easy.

300
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: It's like, girl, make it look harder, so we realize

301
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: what you're doing exactly.

302
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: That's so true, and so I think sometimes she becomes

303
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: a victim of that. Obviously, last year there wasn't much

304
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: debate about who the Player of the Year was. But

305
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: but again she she was somebody where you could say

306
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: eye test or the numbers, right, because she was kind

307
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: of doing both both and you're just like and then

308
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: you look at it to you again, like South Carolina

309
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: that went undefeated last year where the sum was greater

310
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: than that whole right. So yes, so it was always

311
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: the internal internal battle when it comes for you know,

312
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: these types of the awards.

313
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, it is fun this year. Last year,

314
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: like you said, Taitlin Clark kind of running away with it.

315
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: To have this trio or quartet of players that are

316
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: all really in the mix. Let's look beyond that, though,

317
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: because there's got to be some stars that are flying

318
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: under the radar. Who's having a standout year in women's

319
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: college hoops that you think isn't getting talked about enough.

320
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: I'm Michi, Kayleen and Cheyenne at Maryland, and you know,

321
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: it's really interesting and I know we'll you know, talk

322
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 4: to HBCU hoops a little later. But Alabama's leading scorer now,

323
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: Zay Green. She's leading them and scoring and assist at

324
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: sixty eight pointy seven points a game, and they you know,

325
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: she's used to the SEC because she started her career.

326
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: I wanted to say she started at Tennessee, then transferred

327
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: to Texas A and m then transferred to Arkansas Pine

328
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: Bluff before coming back to Alabama, and then you go

329
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: go to West Virginia. I had the opportunity to see

330
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: West Virginia play in person earlier this year, and I

331
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: came away.

332
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: It's funny.

333
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: I went into the game like excited to see JJ Quinley,

334
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: and she's she's phenomenal, She's dynamic, she's a bulldog. She's tenacious,

335
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: but with her just coming back from an injury that

336
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: force to the missed a game earlier this year, I left,

337
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: I left that gay you know, raven about Jordan Harrison.

338
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: I love her, Gabe. I think she's a perfect compliment

339
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: to JJ and I think she's the engine of that

340
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: West Virginia program on both ends of the floor. I

341
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: think she's she's somebody that fins should should get to know.

342
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: I think, you know again, I mean we know about

343
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: how how talented UCLA is obviously a Num. One team

344
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: in the country. It is funny because I don't think

345
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: ke Key Rice has been talked about a lot this year,

346
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 4: and again I don't know what her numbers are.

347
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: They're good, it's just a part of the It's like

348
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: you said before, like the whole is bigger than the

349
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: sum of its parts. It's it's one of several pieces

350
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: that get it done for them every night.

351
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: Versus her putting up thirty.

352
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: Right at South Carolina, they have the one loss and

353
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: some of those players have taken tremendous leaves by Chloe Hits.

354
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: I mean, man, she's she's been phenomenal this year.

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: You know, I got two other ones that stand out

356
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: to me, and one is Tania Latson of Florida State.

357
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: She's leading the NCAA and scoring right now. And you know,

358
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: Florida State, it's a fine team. They're not really gonna

359
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, no one thinks they're going all the way.

360
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: But Tanaya and her ability to consistently score and perform

361
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: every night, it's been really impressive. And then Audie Crooks

362
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: at Iowa State. You know that team. I think they're

363
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: sixth maybe in the Big twelve. Their record isn't super impressive,

364
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: but she's such a fun watch and I think she's

365
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: averaging twenty three something like that points a game. So

366
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: those are two players that I like to watch the highlights.

367
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: I like to hear what they're doing, and I've been

368
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: impressed by what they got. Mesh, just turn their camera

369
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: on what you got me add something?

370
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: Man.

371
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 5: I gotta give a shout out to Kyomi mc miller

372
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 5: out of Rutgers folks, we cannot sleep on her either.

373
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 5: Rutgers is not gonna win the conference, they're probably not

374
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 5: gonna make the tournament, but she is a walking highlight reel.

375
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: I have a friend Don Patrick, shout out to her.

376
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 5: Shout out to rising media stars who regularly gets to

377
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: call those games at Wreckers and gets a front row

378
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 5: seat to just the and one handles that this young

379
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: lady has so definitely want to shout her out. Love

380
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: it and Harmony Turner from Harvard she is just you

381
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: have stuff you want to say about her.

382
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: Rob right now.

383
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: You know she's average of twenty point three points a game,

384
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: in the top twenty in the country at scoring. She

385
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: you know, scored forty one points earlier this year, gets

386
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: so Boston College and you know she she has She

387
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 4: has definitely set up social media on fire throughout the

388
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: season and a lot of people have two dinner Harvard.

389
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 4: It is interesting because you you look at Harvard, but

390
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: you look at the IVY League. At the top of

391
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: the IVY League, it's kind of like a Battle of

392
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: War where they.

393
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 3: Could conceivably get three teams in the tournament.

394
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 4: I know that sounds funny and crazy because it's the

395
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: IVY League, But with Princeton and Columbia at Harvard, you know,

396
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 4: Princeton and Columbia win the tournament.

397
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: Last year, Columbia got the I believe Columbia.

398
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: Got the at large last year out the IVY and

399
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: right now in the mid major top twenty five, Harvard,

400
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: Princeton and Columbia two three and four, and Princeton knocked

401
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: off Harvard last week.

402
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: So so it's a battle.

403
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's your first appearance, your rob so

404
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I won't hold it against you that you don't know that.

405
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: We're only allowed to talk about Cornell if we're talking

406
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: IVY League. If IVY League sport to make it into

407
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: the show, we got a shoehorn Cornellen there you I'm

408
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: not sure how we're gonna do that here, but we're

409
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to talk about Cornell hoops.

410
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: If we're talking IVY.

411
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: League, Let's talk about HBCUs because you mentioned you know

412
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: you you follow a lot of HBCU hooped mid majors conferences,

413
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: even Misha's beloved coastal the CIA, who are some of

414
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: the strongest teams that you think could make some noise

415
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: come March madness.

416
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: Out of the mid majors at HBCUs.

417
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: You have to start with Norfolk State. They already have

418
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: wins this year, wrote wins this year at Auburn and

419
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: at Missouri. At a trailed Alabama by one point with

420
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: five minutes to go in the game, and you know

421
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 4: Norfolk is led by Kier will and Diamond Johnson. Diamond

422
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 4: Johnson will probably most likely end up being HBCU Player

423
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: of the Year. She started out at n C State,

424
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: played in that memorable Elite eight game at Yukon. She

425
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: leads to me acting scoring and happy to see Norfolk.

426
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 4: The other night at Morgan State, uh Diamond eight still

427
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: twenty four points and the teammate Kier Wheeler had another

428
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: double double with twenty four points. So together they averaged

429
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: thirty three point seven points a game. And then I

430
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 4: just want to shout out their head coach, Larry Vickers.

431
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 4: Larry has done a fantastic job with that program. I

432
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 4: mean when he first took over, you know they were

433
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 4: getting beat all the time and losing a lot. But

434
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 4: over the last three and a half years he has

435
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 4: elevated that program. And you know they've won the last

436
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: two tournament championships and lost in the first round of

437
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 4: South Carolina. They have opportunity, they get to write opponent

438
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: in the first round. They definitely won't be a fifteen

439
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: or sixteen. See if they go through the MIAC. You know,

440
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: you can't sleep on Howard University head coach TYD. Grace

441
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: does a phenomenal job there. Right now, Howard is on

442
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 4: the four game winning streak behind fresh regards to Naya King,

443
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: who's one of the top fresh regards in the country.

444
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: And then guard Destiny Halle, a graduate guard who two

445
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 4: years ago, before she tore her ACL was a French

446
00:20:54,320 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 4: WBA prospect. She's she's super talented at Coppin State. You know,

447
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: they haven't went over Arizona State this.

448
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: Year on their resume.

449
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: And Layla Lawrence is also one of the fifteen finalists

450
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: along with Diamond Johnson for the Becky hm A Mid

451
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 4: Major Player of the Year Award. She's second in the

452
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 4: me I CAN scoring in sixteen point eight a game,

453
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 4: and she leads the conference in rebounding. So I would say,

454
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: you know, obviously, I mean I could talk about all

455
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 4: eight programs in the meat, but I would say at

456
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: the top for this conference, Norfolk Howard, in Compon State,

457
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 4: you go over to the SWACK this year, things that

458
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: start to take shape. So you know, Jackson State, you

459
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: have to start with them. Dave won thirty six straight

460
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: regular season SWACK games this year. They have a first

461
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: year coach Margaret Richards, who's not new to the conference.

462
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: She's due to Jackson State. She coached the Alabama and

463
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 4: then for eight years before taking over for Tamika Reed

464
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 4: who's at Charlotte, and she did a terrific job there.

465
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: You know.

466
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: The lead scores Tealia Dilworth, She's a transfer. She's average

467
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 4: at fourteen point six points a game. One thing that

468
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: one point out to your listens is Jackson State was

469
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 4: the last Division one women's basketball team to play a

470
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: home game. They played their first home game on last

471
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: Thursday was January ninth.

472
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Wow, that's wild. That is wild. Who are the schedule makers?

473
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: That's so unfair.

474
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: Thats messed up?

475
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah right now.

476
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 4: Surprisingly, Texas Southern is also three and zero, and two

477
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: of their wins well over the preseason favorites Grandlin State

478
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 4: in Southern courtney a lot of males, fourth and the

479
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: Swacken scoring and Jada Belt in his fifth and rebounding.

480
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 4: So these two are solid combination, as is film us

481
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: on Seyamick Evans and Sydney Drickx, who I'm actually in

482
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: the prices of writing about for my HBCU notebook for

483
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: the next So things are beginning to break during that conference.

484
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a interesting race throughout

485
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: both of those conferences of the MIAK and the SWAG.

486
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Okay, before we let you go, Rob, I need you

487
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: to give us one game this weekend that you particularly

488
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: got your eye on, something that we should watch for

489
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: that you're into.

490
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 4: I want to go in the Coastal if I can,

491
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: because you have the two preseason favorites colliding. Uh Drexel,

492
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: who wonted won the conference last year. The tournament last

493
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: year is at North Carolina A and T Friday night,

494
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 4: So that's a big, a big game. It also got

495
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 4: my eyes locked on Sunday Oklahoma at South Carolina. Yeah,

496
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 4: and I got cool Yukon. I would not be remiss

497
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 4: if I didn't just just shout out the talented staff

498
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,840

520
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 1: Little bit deeper on a lot of the women's college

521
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: basketball stuff that you want to know about.

522

Speaker 2: So thanks so much, Rob for the time. We really

00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:31,720

Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me, and this has

525
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: been been a blessing.

526
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: We got to take another quick break when we come back.

527
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: We turn our teas from earlier in the week into

528
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: a totally cool announcement.

529
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: It's coming up next. Welcome back, slices.

530
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: It's time for a little what the fact today is

531
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: what the fact offers a little more context on that news.

532
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier that the NCAA unanimously approved implementing a

533
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: women's March Madness revenue sharing plan.

534
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: This is what the fact involves.

535
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: The number thirty four, as in, it took the NCAA

536
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: thirty four years to offer women's basketball teams the same

537
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: benefit offered.

538
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: To men's teams. Now, this is one of those things

539
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: we don't.

540
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: Talk about enough, women's sports having to battle against intentional roadblocks.

541
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: When we discussed the output of women's sports, we need

542
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: to acknowledge the input. You can't call the women's NCAA

543
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: tournament a money loser for years when you've prevented them

544
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: from using the name March Madness, offered up lesser resources venues,

545
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: marketing and promotion, and you've given school zero incentive to

546
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: care about the success of their women's programs. For years,

547
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: people talked about the women's basketball tournament as a lesser product,

548
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: when in fact we've seen how much it's built to thrive.

549
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Players stay in school longer, so you get to know them,

550
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: Rivalries are established, and matchups become must see. Plus, with

551
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: the pro game still catching up in terms of the

552
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: number of markets and awareness, for a lot of folks,

553
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: the women's college game, whether it's their alma mater or

554
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: a local team, is the peak of their fandom in

555
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: women's basketball and the focus of their money spent. For years,

556
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: revenue was lost because we didn't talk enough about the

557
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: true value of the tournament and the ways intentional practices

558
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: were holding it back. And the sexist decision making of

559
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: the NCAA doing things like paying men's teams for tournament

560
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: appearances for thirty four years before finally getting around to

561
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: paying the women is certainly a part of that. Today's

562
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: what the fact, brought to you by elf Beauty. And

563
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: here's another fact. Elf Beauty's recent report shows that gender

564
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: diverse boards lead to positive business results. SMP five hundred

565
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: companies with above average gender diversity on their boards saw

566
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: a fifteen percent boost in return on equity and a

567
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: fifty percent drop in.

568
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,000

571
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,280

572
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: good on that tease we gave you earlier in the week.

573

Speaker 1: It's here and it's today's good game play of the day.

574
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: Now remember that awesome opportunity we mentioned, that thing that

575
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: would change the way you see ownership, decision making and

576
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: community building.

577
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: Well, here it is.

Speaker 1: In four months of a first round investment period three

594
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,800

598
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,560

600

637
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: Australian Open, rating five out of five gasps review. This

638
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: clip dropped into my social feed with zero context and

639
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: when I tell you, I watched it with the rapt

640
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: attention and dropped jaw usually reserved for a slap fight

641
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of a Real Housewives reunion. In case

642
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: you missed it, American tennis player Danielle Collins was relentlessly

643
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: booed during her match with hometown fave Australian Destiny Aieva

644
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: in the second round of the Ossie Open.

645
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: Now.

646
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: During the match, Collins.

647
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: Responded to the booze by blowing kisses to the crowd,

648
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: cupping her ear to take in their booze, and even

649
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: slapping her ass in their direction. Then the postgame interview

650
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: where she thanked the crowd for helping her get a big,

651
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: fat paycheck to take a five star vacation, and did

652
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: the presser where she said, quote, every person that has

653
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: bought a ticket and has come out here to.

654
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: Hackle meet can do what they do.

655
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: It's all going towards the Danielle Collins fund, so like, yeah,

656
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: bring it on, I love it.

657
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: End quote. Now listen, y'all.

658
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm all for like a confident, sassy athlete. But for

659
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: some reason this felt real icky to me, Like, what

660
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: did you expect an Australian crowd to do in a

661
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: match featuring their Australian hometown. Gal, I'm not saying the

662
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: booze are cool, Like booing someone just for not being

663
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: from Australia seems a little bit much. But there's a

664
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: way to handle the booze, get the win and move on,

665
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: especially when you're playing a twenty four year old who

666
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: clearly would love to win in front of the hometown crowd, and,

667
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: in the case of Aiva, has publicly dealt with mental

668
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: health struggles. The whole thing just felt over the top.

669
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Next time, be swaggy, but keep it classy Collins. Oh

670
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: and by the way, shout out to Aiva, who rocks

671
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: vintage looks for many of her matches. This time she

672
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: wore a dress popularized by Maria Scheripoba at the twenty

673
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: thirteen Australian Open.

674
