With the basketball season underway, we're starting to get some answers to all of our offseason questions. One of the biggest questions for me is how will UConn star Paige Bueckers end her collegiate career. Former pro basketball player and current hoops analyst Ice Young comes through to help point me in the right direction and discuss all things Big East!  We start with the UConn Huskies! Geno Auriemma has had them on top of the women's basketball world for almost my entire lifetime, but injuries and increased parity have kept them from winning it all since 2016. Paige Bueckers has gotten them close a couple of times now, but this is her last chance to make it happen. Can she join the company of the elite Huskies who have come before her by winning a ring? While Paige is the centerpiece here, Ice explains why she's just as excited about the rest of this Huskies' roster. From star freshmen to star transfers to returning players, this team is loaded. How does everyone fit together and will it be enough to make up for the losses of Nika Muhl and Aaliyah Edwards? The Big East isn't all UConn though! The Creighton Bluejays have also made some March Madness noise in the past couple of seasons. They have a brutal non-conference schedule and have had a rocky start to the year. Why isn't Ice worried about them and why should you learn the name Lauren Jensen?  We finish up talking about some up-and-coming programs to keep an eye on! The Big East is a conference on the rise. Could a couple more teams find themselves playing in March? Also, long term, what's so exciting about the future of the conference? We cover a lot so you're going to want to tap in!  For more from Isis “Ice” Young:  -Threads: https://www.threads.net/@iceyoung23_ -The “Good Word with Goodwill” Podcast: https://sports.yahoo.com/videos/shows/good-word-with-goodwill/ -Your World Media: https://www.yourworldent.com/ Want more of what I'm doing?

We also dive deep into the Chicago Sky's potential for a big comeback next season, along with the offseason changes they need to make it happen. The Dallas Wings are thriving now that they're healthy, while Sydney Colson is quietly becoming the Aces' secret weapon with her increased minutes. Gabby Williams' offensive evolution is taking her game to the next level, and I'll explain how Stef Dolson's highly efficient season is turning heads across the league.

And it's time to give Cecilia Zandalasini her flowers—her impact is undeniable!

New investment and enthusiasm are pouring into women's sports. In “The Price She Pays: Confronting the Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Women's Sports— from the Schoolyard to the Stadium,” lead authors Dr. Tiffany Brown and Katie Steele call for changes to the athletic hierarchy women compete under. As lead authors, along with co-author Erin Strout, they propose that the expanding popularity and financial clout of women's sports must be commensurate with an athlete-centred mental health approach  The book is a candid guide to all stages of the sporting life, from introductory activities up to U.S. major-college athletics and the pros. It is unsparing of the traumas, but always optimistic, which meshes with 2024's breakouts such as new leagues that are gaining traction, and the WNBA rookie class featuring the likes of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Kingston, Ont., native Aaliyah Edwards. “The Price She Pays” is both timely, and telling about what fault lines need to be filled in.  Brown and Steele are both licensed marriage and family therapists based in Oregon. Strout, who has written and freelanced for The Chronicle of Higher Education, Runner's World, Women Running, and ESPN-W, is based in Flagstaff, Arizona.  “The Price She Pays” was released by Little, Brown, and Spark on June 18, 2024.

The UConn women's basketball team, seeded No. 2, will compete in the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the 29th consecutive year on Monday against No. 7 Baylor. The winner of the game will advance to the Seattle Regional of the Sweet 16 and face the winner of the North Carolina vs. Ohio State matchup. In the first round of the tournament, UConn quickly dispatched No. 15 Vermont 95-52, with Aaliyah Edwards scoring a career-high 28 points and Dorka Juhász recording her 14th double-double, while Nika Mühl contributed 10 assists.

Although UConn and Baylor have a heated rivalry, this will be the first time they meet under new Bears' head coach Nicki Collen, who took over in May 2021 after Kim Mulkey left for LSU.
