Podcast appearances and mentions of Breanna Stewart

The Battle of Indiana vs New York is HEATING UP!

JagCore member Christopher Marcum comes back to the podcast and the subject is the WNBA 2025 season preview. What player is set for a breakout year? Can the return of Courtney Vandersloot to Chicago energize the Sky? Will Angel Reese start to make layups? Is this the season Caitlin Clark wins her first MVP? How will Kelsey Plum fare in LA? Who can challenge Paige Bueckers for Rookie of the Year? AND HOW FAR WILL THE GOLDEN STATE VALKYRIES RISE this season? Tune in for all these answers.

When the Liberty Basketball team won the WNBA national championship last year, Breanna Stewart wasn't sure anyone would really come to the “Canyon of Heroes” ticker tape parade. But as Stewart's float turned a corner, thousands of cheering fans came into full view to no one's (except Stewart's) surprise! It's clear that the fandom around the WNBA, and the Liberty Basketball team, has reached fever pitch. In today's episode of The Run Through, Vogue's Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson talk to Stewart, aka Stewie, in the Barclays arena days after the team's home opener. They discuss Stewie's experience at the Met Gala, what it's like to be a bonafide Basketball star, and ask who is really behind the famous Ellie the Elephant Liberty mascot. Plus, Chloe and Chioma break down Pierpaolo Piccioli's appointment at Balenciaga and the latest celebrity Cannes looks.   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Basketball's landscape has been dramatically reshaped through a series of earth-shattering trades and roster moves that have left fans stunned and excited for what comes next.The WNBA has entered a new era with the creation of superteams across the league. We dive into the New York Liberty's championship victory and analyze how the league's competitive balance has shifted through major offseason trades. Kelsey Plum heading to the LA Sparks, Alyssa Thomas joining the Phoenix Mercury, and the shocking dismantling of the Connecticut Sun's starting five highlight a transformative period in women's basketball.Perhaps most exciting is the Indiana Fever's aggressive team-building around sophomore Caitlin Clark, adding veterans like DeWanna Bonner to create a legitimate championship contender. We examine these moves alongside the WNBA draft landscape, where Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, and other collegiate stars could further transform the league.The basketball revolution extends beyond the WNBA season with the Unrivaled League, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, bringing electrifying 3v3 competition featuring WNBA stars during the offseason. This innovative format showcases players like Skylar Diggins-Smith hitting game winners and Angel Reese dominating the boards.But nothing compares to the seismic NBA trade sending 25-year-old generational talent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. We unpack this stunning development from both perspectives – the heartbreak of Mavericks fans watching their franchise cornerstone depart, and the potential championship implications for LeBron's Lakers.Whether you're a WNBA enthusiast, NBA devotee, or simply someone who appreciates dramatic sports storylines, this episode delivers comprehensive analysis of a transformative moment in basketball history.

Show Summary: On today's episode of Locked On UConn, we explore why Geno Auriemma's preseason assessment of Sarah Strong actually undersold her brilliance, how her historic performances continue to elevate the Huskies, and the broader impact of young stars like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers on women's basketball. Sarah Strong's dominance on the court and humility off it make her the cornerstone of UConn's future, as she joins the ranks of Maya Moore and Christyn Williams with dual weekly Big East honors. Plus, we delve into Caitlin Clark's Time Athlete of the Year feature and what it reveals about the growing cultural relevance of women's basketball. Show Notes: Segment 1: Sarah Strong's Dominance on the Court and Youth Off ItSarah Strong has continued to impress in her freshman campaign, recently earning Big East Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week honors, a dual recognition shared only by UConn legends Maya Moore and Christyn Williams. Strong has redefined what it means to be a freshman at UConn, leading the team in rebounds, blocks, and steals while ranking second in scoring. Her advanced metrics surpass even Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers at the same stage of their careers, solidifying her place as one of the most impactful players in college basketball. Geno Auriemma called her skill set the best he's seen in a post player since Stewart, further emphasizing her value to the Huskies' championship hopes. While she's a mature force on the court, Strong's lighthearted postgame moment following her 21-point performance against Louisville—where she admitted not knowing what “Go-Go Gadget arms” meant—was a rare glimpse into her youth. Her play, however, continues to silence any doubts about her ability to thrive under immense pressure. Segment 2: Caitlin Clark's Influence and Women's Basketball's Bright FutureShifting to Caitlin Clark, her recent recognition as Time Athlete of the Year reflects her influence both on and off the court. Clark's candid interview delves into the privilege she acknowledges as a white player in a league built on the excellence of Black athletes, showing her self-awareness and willingness to push for equity. Her thoughtful remarks also tackle the unique challenges faced by female athletes, from gender-based double standards to intense scrutiny over emotional responses during games. Clark's transparency and charisma make her a generational star, and her rise comes as the WNBA is poised to receive its most talented wave of players yet. With stars like Paige Bueckers entering the professional ranks soon and players like Sarah Strong waiting in the wings, women's basketball is experiencing a golden era that continues to break barriers and captivate audiences. Segment 3: Sarah Strong's Place in UConn's Legacy and Women's Basketball's FutureReturning to Sarah Strong, her Big East honors mark another chapter in her remarkable journey. Her ability to impact both ends of the court and her statistical dominance elevate her to a level of stardom usually reserved for seasoned veterans. With players like Strong setting new standards, the future of UConn basketball and women's basketball as a whole is brighter than ever. Strong joins a lineage of excellence at UConn, but her unique blend of skills and leadership potential position her as a generational talent capable of leading the Huskies for years to come. As the team prepares for its next challenge against No. 8 Notre Dame, Sarah Strong's performances will be critical, not just for UConn's success this season but for continuing to build the legacy of one of the most storied programs in college basketball. FanDuel Ad Copy:Get ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook!

UConn's dominant win over Louisville highlighted their potential as a complete basketball team, showcasing depth, balance, and defensive prowess that could make them unstoppable. Geno Auriemma's call for 40 minutes of excellence was finally answered, as the Huskies delivered their best performance of the season so far. Meanwhile, UConn's No. 2 ranking in the latest AP poll, behind UCLA, reflects their strong start but also leaves room for growth as they strive to prove they belong at the top. Finally, the emergence of Sarah Strong, whose early-season impact rivals even Breanna Stewart's freshman year, solidifies her as one of the most exciting young players in the country. This episode of Locked On UConn is brought to you by FanDuel and Omaha Steaks.

Geno Auriemma's demand for 40 minutes of consistent basketball was finally met, as the Huskies started strong and never let up. Sarah Strong shined with 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting, further establishing herself as the team's most impactful player. The depth of the bench, featuring standout contributions from players like Jana El Alfy and Morgan Cheli, was a stark contrast to last season's injury-plagued rotations. Paige Bueckers facilitated rather than forced her offense, highlighting the team's trust and balance. Despite Azzi Fudd's early exit due to injury, UConn didn't miss a beat, reinforcing their resilience and capability to adapt. Ad Read: Omaha SteaksNothing delivers comfort and joy quite like Omaha Steaks.

While the Huskies have looked dominant at times, including back-to-back blowout wins over Holy Cross and Louisville, UCLA's consistency across a challenging schedule justifies their top spot. UConn did receive eight first-place votes, a testament to their potential, but rankings at this point in the season are fluid. The Huskies' climb from preseason expectations to No. 2 reflects their growth, but the real tests lie ahead, with matchups like Notre Dame looming. Rankings don't win championships, but UConn's position will undoubtedly motivate them to prove they're the best when it matters most. Ad Read: FanDuelGet ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel, America's No. 1 Sportsbook.

Comparing a Rising Star to Breanna Stewart's Freshman YearSarah Strong's stellar start to her UConn career has drawn inevitable comparisons to Breanna Stewart's legendary freshman year. Through eight games, Strong is averaging 17.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, and shooting 58.7% from the field, far outpacing Stewart's early freshman numbers. Her versatility, efficiency, and ability to step up in key moments—like her 21-point, 8-rebound performance against Louisville—have made her the most impactful player on this roster. While Stewart's postseason run cemented her legacy, Strong is making her mark early, showing that she's not just a freshman phenom but potentially a cornerstone for UConn's future success. Closing StatementThis has been another episode of Locked On UConn. I'm Mark Zanetto, reminding you to stay locked on and stay connected. Remember, it's not just about getting it done—it's about doing it in a way that can't be done any better. Go Huskies!

After a quiet first quarter, Strong exploded for a personal 10-0 run in the second and finished with 22 points, seven rebounds, and two steals in just 25 minutes. Strong's basketball IQ and poise set her apart, earning comparisons to UConn legends like Breanna Stewart and Stefanie Dolson. Through seven games, she's averaging 15.6 points and a team-high 5.9 rebounds while shooting 54.7% from the field. With a stretch of ranked opponents coming up, Strong's consistency and versatility will be key to UConn's success. Ad ReadGet ready to tackle NFL action with FanDuel!

A flat first quarter saw the Huskies shoot just 4-for-15, and they only managed a six-point lead at halftime. Geno Auriemma didn't hold back, pulling starters early and calling out his team's effort. The second half was a different story. Sarah Strong dominated, Kaitlyn Chen delivered a career-best performance with 14 points and seven assists, and the team showed the energy and focus needed to pull away. However, the game underscored a season-long issue: the inability to sustain focus for all four quarters. With Louisville, Notre Dame, Iowa State, and USC on the horizon, those lapses need to be addressed. Ad ReadThis episode is also brought to you by PrizePicks, the simplest fantasy sports app. Just pick two or more players, predict their stats, and you can win up to 25 times your money.

Geno Auriemma hinted that the rotation would tighten as the schedule gets tougher, and some players seized their chance. Morgan Cheli set a career-high with eight points, KK Arnold showed aggression, and Ice Brady tallied six assists. Looking ahead, UConn faces four ranked opponents in their next five games, a stretch that will reveal who Auriemma truly trusts in high-pressure situations. The rotation has leaned on stars like Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong, but bench players like Cheli and Arnold have an opportunity to carve out larger roles. As Geno put it, “These next three weeks will tell us a lot.” ClosingThank you for making Locked On UConn your first listen every day.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 4, 2024 is: hoopla • HOO-plah • noun Hoopla refers to talk or writing that is designed to get people excited about or interested in something, often with the implication that the person using the word does not find the thing exciting or interesting. // Marvin didn't understand all of the hoopla surrounding the new frozen yogurt shop in his neighborhood. See the entry > Examples: “The stars seemingly have aligned for the WNBA with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese joining the ranks of A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi and others. The league is getting unparalleled attention. Now the challenge for the WNBA after opening its 28th season Tuesday night is translating the hype and hoopla into a movement and not just a moment in its history.” — Teresa M. Walker, The Associated Press, 15 May 2024 Did you know? In French, the interjection houp-là is used roughly the same way as English's upsy-daisy or whoops-a-daisy, as one might say when picking up a toddler who has fallen down on their bottom to assure them that their tumble is not a big deal. When the word was borrowed into English, however, it referred to a kind of excited or agitated commotion, synonymous with other h-words including hoo-ha, hubbub, and hullabaloo. Hoopla later gained a sense referring to hype, especially of the kind marketing execs cook up for the release of a new product. Both senses can carry with them a whiff of disapproval. If you're calling something hoopla—whether it's the bustle of activity around a holiday or the promotional buzz around a new movie—chances are you want to convey to others that the cause of the fuss may not be such a big deal.
