The first overall WNBA draft pick and all-time leading scorer in South Carolina women's basketball history, A'ja Wilson is the definition of a real-life Super Hero. Angélique sits down with the rising star to talk about her love of family and ...

Host Howard Megdal is joined by Ben Dull of High Post Hoops. The two discuss the thought process behind each of the first round picks in the draft. For instance, exactly why is Las Vegas so certain to choose A'ja Wilson, and how will she fit into the way Bill Laimbeer plays? What is it about Kelsey Mitchell that makes her such a great fit for Pokey Chatman's offense? Exactly how should Amber Stocks supplement the all stars she already employs at center (Stef Dolson), shooting guard (Allie Quigley) and point guard (Courtney Vandersloot)? And on it goes through an absurdly deep first round. Who is a better fit for Washington, the defensive wunderkind Gabby Williams or scorer nonpareil Victoria Vivians? How on earth is a player as talented and ready for the league as Kia Nurse possible falling to ninth in the draft? And can Monique Billings help teams more by bulking up and crashing the boards, or stretching her range beyond the three-point line? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Editor-in-Chief of The Summitt (Summitthoops.com) Howard Megdal is joined by Debbie Antonelli, the omnipresent voice of women's basketball who is on the call for Tuesday night's Connecticut-Oklahoma game at Mohegan Sun. The game offers more than just another look at the Huskies (and the Sooners, who boast an elite inside-outside combo of Vionise Pierre-Louis and Gabby Ortiz), but also a chance for Geno Auriemma to win his 1000th game as a coach. Antonelli, no stranger to landmark games for Hall of Fame coaches like Muffet McGraw and Pat Summitt, discussed what the numbers mean, what unites these greats of the game, and what separates each of them. In addition, we talk about just what sets this Connecticut team apart, including the remarkable progress of Crystal Dangerfield and Kia Nurse. Then it is on to Knoxville, where Antonelli recently took in Tennessee-Texas. She tells us whether this is the Holly Warlick team everyone has been waiting for, and we spend, oh, a good five minutes gushing over the imminent return of Joyner Holmes for Texas. All this is prelude to an animated discussion of the Las Vegas Aces, what the city can come to mean for women's basketball, and if the reason Bill Laimbeer is smiling so much lately is that he's about to get to coach A'ja Wilson.

No tricks, just treats from Dishin & Swishin on Halloween! There's no question about it; 2017 was one hell of a year for Dawn Staley. Coach of NCAA women's basketball national champion South Carolina would be great on its own, but to also be elevated by USA Basketball to the head coach of the Senior National team makes it phenomenal. It is a pleasure to kick off Dishin & Swishin's NCAA coverage by talking with one of our favorite guests, coach Staley, to discuss the upcoming NCAA season and her summer camp with USA Basketball. After touring the country and Japan with her new bestie, the "netlace" in tow, Staley also had her first USA camp as head coach this summer. Now, though, it's back to business; winning the difficult SEC, returning to the NCAA tournament, and a trip to Columbus, Ohio, site of this year's Final Four. Even though the Gamecocks lost three WNBA first round draft choices in Rookie of the Year Allisha Gray, Kayla Davis, and Alaina Coates, the cupboard is far from bare. Returning is the odds on favorite for national player of the year honors, forward A'ja Wilson. Already a tremendous talent, on Dishin & Swishin Staley talks about what she asked Wilson to improve on for this season, and it is enough to make even the best of teams nervous at the thought! A loaded backcourt featuring returnees Tyasha Harris and Bianca Cuevas-Moore will be counted on for more offense this year. Graduate transfer Lindsey Spann from Penn State is already being a leader, according to Staley, and transfer post Alexis Jennings from Kentucky will need to make an  impact on both ends of the court.  Can South Carolina repeat? It won't be easy, but the possibility is real! One this is certain, their coach will be pushing them to reach their maximum potential. And really, what else can you ask for in a coach?

Jeff Walz leads an impressive group of college players into the first four-team U23 tournament in Tokyo, Japan beginning August 12.   The U23 team is bridge between the popular U18 and U19 teams, and the senior national team.  Players have to be under 23 years old, but also have to have just completed their freshmen, sophomore, or junior years. Despite the absence of some marquee names like A'ja Wilson, who is injured, and a quartet of UConn players that attended camp but have a European trip instead, the committee has chosen an impressive array of talent from across the country to represent USA basketball. Coach Walz joins Dishin & Swishin to discuss the purpose of the U23 team, coaching for USA basketball, training camp and having players involved that couldn't play in the tournament, the makeup of the team, and his approach to the tournament.

Ahead of Sunday's matchup, LaChina Robinson sits down with Louisville coach Jeff Walz to discuss the Cardinals' improvements from last season and South Carolina standout A'ja Wilson.

Into the great wide open we go! It is time to look into the Dishin & Swishin crystal ball and see what we can come up with for pre-season “Dishie” selections for the NCAA women’s basketball season! There will be no talk about “UConn dominance is not good for the sport” this year! There are probably ten to twelve teams that can realistically look to April and say “why not us?” We cannot wait to see what this does for interest and ratings in the sport, and whether or not the possible parity that so many have wished for brings rewards in terms of viewers, ratings, interest and excitement. Similarly, there is no Breanna Stewart this year, a clear cut, obvious Player of the Year, before the season even began. It will be a race to see who can elevate their game, and who can take their team to the top; because the Player of the Year does not have to have dominant stats, just be a dominant player on the court. That is something that can be done in victories, improving your game and your teammates, and that is just a beginning. Without further ado then, the Dishies for Pre-season All-American and Player of the Year: National Player of the Year: A’ja Wilson, South Carolina The subject of the attached “In her own words,” Wilson needs to be the difference maker for Coach Dawn Staley’s team if they are to contend for the national title.  As Staley said, with leaders like Aleighsa Welch (freshman year) and Tiffany Mitchell (second year), Wilson was able to just go about her business on the court. This year, the junior will be asked to be a leader on and off the court. The local product has been a difference maker in the community, helping the G Hive grow to epic proportions, as the team has moved up the ranks and contended nationally. This year could be the year South Carolina wins it all.  Already a conference player of the year and All-American, there is no reason to doubt that Wilson will make t
