Kia Nurse for MVP on a mini van ride to remember, The C-word, Puerto Rico joy, Julie Allemand and the Fever, Canada ambitions, Tom Hovasse, The Jawdropper, plus THAT game between Belgium and Japan.

It's a weird year in the WNBA, especially for Husky fans who follow the league. For a variety of reasons, Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, and Maya Moore, four of the best to ever play the game, are missing all or most of the season. Even so, three former Huskies managed to earn All-Star nods as Kia Nurse was named a starter, Tina Charles was named a reserve, and rookie Napheesa Collier got in as an injury replacement.  In this women's basketball episode of the podcast, we discuss the Husky All-Stars, some big wins on the recruiting trail, and Howard Megdal interviews New York Liberty head coach to discuss the success of Charles and Nurse and Bria Hartley, who has carved out a nice role for herself.  The Liberty play their home games in Westchester, not too far from Connecticut in case any hardcore fans want to see a few former Huskies in action.

Host Ben Dull is joined in part one by Neil Olstad of Canis Hoopus and the Lynx Dynasty Podcast to discuss the Minnesota Lynx, including a look back at an up-and-down 2018 season, the retirement of Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Brunson's lingering post-concussion symptoms, the flurry of moves by Cheryl Reeve to infuse the roster with young talent on the fly, rookies Napheesa Collier and Jessica Shepard, playing "small" vs. more traditional lineups, opening up the floor for Sylvia Fowles and more. Erica Ayala of The Athletic New York and High Post Hoops joins the show in part two to preview the season for the New York Liberty, including impressions of Katie Smith's first season as head coach, reflecting on last season and the complications and stress caused by the venue change and ownership situation, new owner Joseph Tsai, takeaways from Kia Nurse's rookie season, getting more scoring from the perimeter from No. 2 overall pick Asia Durr, the impact of second-round pick Han Xu and what needs to be done to get the franchise on the fast track to getting back to the postseason with Tina Charles still in the prime of her career.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Kia Nurse has won a huge amount all ready at just the age of just 22. Devang and Simon look back at the life of this phenom and her arrival in the WNBA. 

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.

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.
