When Katie Lou Samuelson received the opportunity to choose her next WNBA destination, thanks to free agency, she'd lived through a pro career that gave her plenty of food for thought on what she wanted to experience on and off the court. She joins host Howard Megdal to discuss how that process is playing out now that she's several weeks into training camp with the Indiana Fever. The two discuss everything from how motherhood changes your approach to basketball to what Katie Lou will miss most about commercial flight now that the WNBA is moving to charter travel. Plus, advice to her teammates, in light of the crowds Caitlin Clark is drawing, about how to play in front of full houses with a target on your back, something Samuelson knows well from her UConn days.

The Indiana Fever and head coach Christie Sides head into March with a pretty clear path to the 2024 season.

You'll hear from coach Geno Auriemma to open the show, as well as sophomore Katie Lou Samuelson (8:02), as beat writer Paul Doyle reflects on the regular season and looks ahead at the Huskies' road to a 12th national title.

Saniya Chong has been through, and seen a lot, during her three plus years as a part of the UConn women's basketball program. She’s been a part of three national championship teams, and hit key shots (see Maryland games 2016 and 2015); she’s missed time with injuries (last year’s IT band in particular), and sat for inconsistent play. This year though senior Chong has been the model of consistency, and while the “Core Four” of Katie Lou Samuelson, Kia Nurse, Gabby Williams, and Napheesa Collier gets most of the accolades and award nominations, it is Saniya Chong that is the backbone of the undefeated Huskies, their most consistent player. “Saniya, just looks so comfortable out there,” head coach Geno Auriemma recently said, “like she’s in charge of [her] emotions and game. Everything seems to be exactly where she wants it to be, at both ends of the floor.” On Sunday, the day we conducted this Dishin & Swishin interview, it was to the tune of 17 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. By the way, the nation’s leader in assists to turnover ratio, Chong had zero turnovers in that game as well, a 96-50 victory. She is poised to become the next player to win four national championships should the Huskies cut down the nets this year, joining her celebrated teammates Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson, and Morgan Tuck. Her trials and tribulations as a Husky are not lost on Chong; she talks about it freely, saying “I am a senior, and I can’t get the past years back. I try to work hard, and I try to stay consistent.” Chong’s success has her teammates thrilled; each praises Chong’s teamwork, effort in practice, and stability in leading them. “Saniya has been really good this year, consistently in practice, and in games for us,” according to Husky leading scorer Samuelson, ”we know we can count on her and she has been doing a great job distributing the ball and playing well." We wanted Chong on Dishin & Swishin

Audio: Napheesa Collier postgame interview , Conn. - Second-ranked UConn outscored Chatanooga 37-12 in the second half, to turn a 43-31 game into an 80-43 blowout tonight in Hartford. The game marks the 80th consecutive victory for the Huskies, who improved their record on the season to 5-0. Sophomores Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson led the way, scoring 23 and 10 points, respectively. Collier missed her first shot, then hit all 11 of her attempts to finish 11-for-12, plus 1-for-1 from the foul line. Samuelson was 8-for-1 from the flor including one three-pointer. "Two things in life are automatic," UConn coach Geno Auriemma joked after the game, "you throw the ball to Napheesa and she's going to score, and throw it to the guy she's guarding on the other end, and they're going to score. You can count on those two things." Junior Gabby Williams had a strong all-around game, racking up her second consecutive double-double, with 11 points and 10 rebounds, plus four assists and four steals. Chattanooga scored the first five points of the game, and led 14-13 with four minutes left in the first quarter before UConn went on an 8-0 run to close the quarter with a 21-14 lead. The Mocs hit 5-of-15 three pointers in the first half, with 3-of-5 coming from Lakelyn Boudin. However, they only hit 1-of-16 in the second half, as UConn increased their perimeter pressure. Chattanooga is now 3-6 on the season. Jasmine Joyner, Queen Alford, Lakelyn Boudin, and Chelsey Shumpert all had nine points to lead the Mocs. UConn enters a difficult stretch beginning Thursday with DePaul at home, followed by games with Texas at Mohegan Sun Arena and Notre Dame at Purcell Pavilion. Auriemma took a philosophical approach to the upcoming games: "I hope these ranked teams are as good as everybody says they are because we need to get our butts beat soon and bad so some of our guys will co
