Locked On Podcast Network
Locked On Women's Basketball is a daily podcast covering all aspects of the women's basketball world! Join host Howard Megdal (The IX, The Next) as he interviews the incredible staff of The Next, along with the biggest and most influential names in the sport. From NCAA to the WNBA we'll cover all that and more on Locked On Women's Basketball, part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
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.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

Locked On Women’s Basketball podcast is your daily ticket to stay ahead of the game and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for all aspects of the world of Women’s Basketball.
While the 2024 women's college basketball season is over, with the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks wearing their rightful crowns as champs, there has been crazy movement of players in the transfer portal and coaches come and going across the country. The biggest shockwave came from California and the retirement of Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer after 38 seasons at The Farm and 45 overall as a head coach in women's basketball. What is her legacy? What is next for Kate Paye and the Stanford program moving forward as their new head coach? Analyst and host Missy Heidrick is joined by Michelle Smith, veteran journalist and USBWA Hall of Fame to talk about Stanford's new path and other happenings in the college game.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by ESPN’s LaChina Robinson to examine how the WNBA’s perceptions and visibility in popular culture has evolved over time following the 2024 WNBA Draft. What does a column from almost ten years ago from Maya Moore teach us about the current moment the WNBA is in? What did the draftees have to say about how the general public views the league? Also, how does women’s basketball history inform us about Caitlin Clark’s impact on the game, which is cumulative of all that have come before her.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by The Athletic’s Sabreena Merchant for an episode predicated on the WNBA rumor mill prior to Monday night’s draft. The duo shares some of the intel they’ve received from multiple talent evaluators across the WNBA as they explain how the rest of the draft lottery could shake out following Caitlin Clark as the consensus No.1 overall pick. Later, they discuss why Angel Reese has been deemed “an enigma” to evaluate along with predicting what the franchise known to shock on draft day will do. Yes, we are talking about the Dallas Wings.

Dawn Staley's approach to life manifests itself in many ways. South Carolina's latest three-year run, including three Final Fours, two titles and in 2023-24, a championship season is one example. But the way she affects her players, former and current, the way she unapologetically speaks to the great issues of our day, it all connects as well. Host Howard Megdal, joined by The Next's Rob Knox, dig deep on how it all comes together and what it means for historical context.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by The Next’s Cameron Ruby to preview this weekend’s women’s college basketball Sweet 16. First the two discuss the significance of the Pac-12’s dominance as a conference in the remaining field. Later the pair gets into the most anticipated region, Albany 2, which is also known as “the region of doom.” Who out of LSU, UCLA, Iowa and Colorado survives? And finally Jackie and Cameron make their predictions? How close will South Carolina vs. Indiana be? Can Duke stop Paige Bueckers? And can a mid major upset a No. 1 seed?

While Chiney Ogwumike has starred on the basketball court throughout her life — a 2014 WNBA Rookie of the Year and two all-star selections to show for it — the court has always been the start, not the end of her story. From her new YouTube show, The Chiney Show, to her work across ESPN platforms for the WNBA, women's college basketball and the NBA, she has bridged gaps that others have walked across in a path she created. She joins host Howard Megdal to discuss what her future, her work in creating a new platform that is uniquely hers, and even her work as an appointee of the President of the United States allows her to do: to use her voice to impact the world.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

The Indiana Fever and head coach Christie Sides head into March with a pretty clear path to the 2024 season. After adding Katie Lou Samuelson to the starting lineup, and Damiris Dantas as a vital backup big to Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith, all they need is a lead guard to pair with Kelsey Mitchell who can shoot it from anywhere and distribute. (If only Caitlin Clark had declared for the WNBA Dra-oh wait.) Host Howard Megdal and Sides talk about Caitlin Clark without talking about Caitlin Clark, along with the many reasons to be excited for the Fever, and how Sides herself approaches March Madness.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Stitch FixStyle that makes you feel as good as you look—get started today at StitchFix.com/LOCKEDONNissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV’s with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

We are reaching the critical point of the college basketball season - the final days of the regular season, where we crown conference champions and see who still is alive for the postseason in March. Analyst and national correspondent Missy Heidrick is joined by Alex Simon of SF Gate and AP Top 25 voter to break down the teams that are riding high right now and where everyone could shake out in the next 10 days. And we get the second Top 16 seed reveal from the NCAA this week - they break it all down on what we could see on 2/29/24 and more. Photo Credit: Ruby Family/The Next

You might have a Super Bowl hangover but the past week in women's college basketball was as crazy as ever.

Elite scoring guard Jacy Sheldon of The Ohio State University joins host Howard Megdal to discuss the rise of the Buckeyes. A year ago, Sheldon wondered whether she'd ever be healthy enough to play the way she has while dominating at every level. Now she is the apple of WNBA scouting departments' eyes and a realistic, yet cinematic goal is in reach: finishing her collegiate career with a Final Four trip to her childhood home of Cleveland. All this and much more in our latest conversation.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by Winsidr’s Rachel Galligan to react and dissect what came out of February 1’s WNBA free agency signing day. What did the pair glean about how different WNBA teams have approached getting better before training camp begins in just a couple of months? They also dive into what has felt different about 2024’s free agency period and why it was a slow burn that turned into a rapid fire explosion. And finally, Powell and Galligan preview what lies ahead and what shoes are left to drop. What will Nneka Ogwumike choose? Does DeWanna Bonner shock the world? And what’s going on with Elena Delle Donne?

Georgia native Anita Howard has taken some key tenets to every stop she's made as both a player and coach into her basketball identity: tenacious defense and relentless rebounding, while playing at a pace that makes it hard for opponents to keep up. Her Georgia Southern Eagles rank tops in the nation in both pace and offensive rebounds per game so far, and she talks to host Howard Megdal about the forces that shaped her basketball thinking, from childhood games with her father through a successful run as player and then coach at Division II programs. Hear from this innovating, under-covered star in the women's basketball coaching ranks.

And don't look now but the ACC is shaping up for a grind in the upcoming weeks of the early results have told us anything. Analyst and host Missy Heidrick is joined by Mitchell Northam, an AP Top 25 voter and ACC beat writer for The Next break it all down and then some.

Host Jackie Powell is joined by Jenn Hatfield, The Next’s Washington Mystics beat reporter, to unpack an opinion Jackie has: that the Washington Mystics hold the keys to WNBA free agency this winter.
Also, what's the latest on Elena Delle Donne and where could the pair see her ending up, especially after the Mystics cored her on Jan. 13? Also, does Natasha Cloud leave the team that drafted her? Jenn doesn’t think so, but Cloud will be on top of many teams’ free agency wish lists.
Finally, if both players don’t return to Washington, how do the Mystics move forward and into a new era? Is it time for retooling or rebuilding?

For Raegan Pebley, new general manager of the Los Angeles Sparks, the basketball journey she's followed has taken her into every corner of the sport. From a childhood spent amid the WBL to a distinguished playing career in college and then the WNBA, Pebley's post-playing days have included building a program from scratch at Utah State, NCAA tournament appearances with Fresno State, a broadcast turn with the Dallas Wings and much more. She chats about all of it, including the ways she navigated a brain tumor — publicly, but without missing a game — with host Howard Megdal.

In one week we went from 3 undefeated teams overall in the Big 12 to just one - No. 4 Baylor is still perfect. But there are four teams that are perfect in Big 12 play so if you can't tell already, this is going to be a wild ride in this league all season long. Who else besides Baylor is playing well? Who is finding their footing with key players out? Who is underperforming and needs to get back on track quick? And then we need to dissect the new NCAA TV rights deal that includes women's basketball - what does it mean moving forward for the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament?

Host Jackie Powell sits down with Alex, sports editor at SFGate, to go through the same exercise a year later.

One of the most consequential games of the women's basketball season took place when USC and UCLA met up on Dec. 30, and Cameron Ruby, a reporter at The Next, was there. She takes host Howard Megdal and the audience inside both the record-setting crowd and what we learned about both of these Pac-12 title contenders, particularly Juju Watkins of USC and Lauren Betts of UCLA. The two also discuss some early surprises in the conference, including Oregon State, and then they wax poetic about the greatness of Alissa Pili of Utah.

To understand the lightning-fast action and incredible scoring pace of Caitlin Clark and the 2023-24 Iowa Hawkeyes, it is necessary to trace back the evolution of her game through generations of Iowa scoring legends. One of them, Jan Jensen, is the Associate Head Coach with Lisa Bluder's program, and she joins host Howard Megdal to discuss all the ways the game has grown, but remains tethered to, the Iowa 6-on-6 game that produced stars like Jansen's grandmother, Dorcas Andersen, Machine Gun Molly Kazmer and Jansen herself. The two discuss this, the way Clark and Iowa have broken through into the broader culture, and all the ways Bluder and Jansen's vision has been validated, from Jansen living as her authentic self to the multi-decade expansion of the Big Ten.

Alicia Berber should be, by all rights, a hero celebrated by Riverside City College, where she played before moving on to the Pac-10, and now coaches the women's basketball team. Instead she's been forced to sue her employer over working conditions, won, and is suing again over a set of hurdles you have to hear to believe. She's here with her good friend and Riverside legend Cheryl Miller, who you might know as perhaps the greatest living player, and host Howard Megdal to talk about the latest and what's next.

The Missouri Valley Conference is always one of the toughest mid-major conferences in the nation. Teams play challenging non-conference schedules to get ready for the round-robin grind that is The Valley every year with their sights set on pushing the league to multiple bids in the NCAA Tournament. But if it's just the one bid at the end of the conference tournament, you know it will be earned. MVC play-by-play announcer Brad Wells joins analyst Missy Heidrick to talk about all things MVC - who are the teams to watch and which players are ready for a big year. Brad also recaps what he saw calling the Paradise Jam tournament in the US Virgin Islands over Thanksgiving - three top-10 teams were on the docket in the sunshine.

It was crazy week one of the '23-'24 women's college basketball season with top teams going down and up and coming ones making a move. It all started last week in Las Vegas and national analyst Missy Heidrick talks with The Next's Matthew Walter who was in Las Vegas for the big wins by USC and Colorado. He also helps Missy break down one of the best mid-major leagues in the nation in the West Coast Conference (WCC). Can anyone knock Gonzaga off that top spot?

Host Jackie Powell is back for Part 2 of her chat with Sean Highkin, longtime NBA Reporter and the author of The Rose Garden Report to parse through what happened to WNBA expansion in Portland. In Part 2, Sean and Jackie discuss Phil Knight’s influence in Portland's basketball scene. Could he be someone who could salvage the WNBA expansion bid in Portland? And with a team coming to the bay area, why would 13 teams in the WNBA rather than 14 not be the best idea.

In the five seasons before Megan Griffith arrived on campus, Columbia won 33 games, total. The Lions won 28 last year, captured their first-ever Ivy League regular season title, and came within one win of winning the WNIT as well. With veterans Abbey Hsu and Kitty Henderson back to lead the way, and a bumper crop of new talent in transfers and freshmen, Griffith left nothing to chance with the NCAA selection committee. She joins host Howard Megdal to talk about her unforgiving nonconference schedule, the way the Lions embrace the cutting edge of basketball analytics, and much more.

Erica Wheeler took over as Indiana Fever point guard, and the team took tremendous strides forward in the 2023 season.

The two discuss Erica's mission to not only give back to the community, but to find ways to do it at a cost that anyone can afford.

Hosts Howard Megdal and Jackie Powell join you live from the WNBA postgame podium to talk about an A'ja Wilson performance for the Las Vegas Aces in a 70-69 Game 4 win that gave Las Vegas back-to-back titles, the first repeat champions since 2001-02. The New York Liberty, however, fell short of their championship aspirations, and then failed to show up for postgame media access as well beyond Breanna Stewart, Courtney Vandersloot and Sandy Brondello.

Host Howard Megdal reports following live coverage of the New York Liberty's 87-73 Game 3 win over the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center. Suddenly, a lopsided series turned into a dramatic one, thanks in large part to the Jonquel Jones virtuoso performance — 27 points on 15 shots, dominance inside and out. But the game was marred by a late injury to Las Vegas' Chelsea Gray, whose status for Game 4 is unresolved, and whose lose would fundamentally change the dynamics of how the Aces play on both ends.

Amanda Zahui B. is not only a sage veteran presence for the Indiana Fever, she is, as always, a frank and honest truthteller about the WNBA world she inhabits. She joins host Howard Megdal as the two discuss everything from the mechanics of getting traded and then facing your former team to whether she'd still wear the outfit she wore at the 2015 WNBA Draft and, most significantly, how she's found joy elusive in her WNBA experience, and what it means for both her and the league that she's captured it now.

Co-hosts Howard Megdal and Jackie Powell break down a very eventful day live from Barclays Center following a New York Liberty 98-88 loss to the Dallas Wings. Big questions are pondered, like: what if the New York Liberty are merely the 2018 Washington Mystics, with Breanna Stewart as Elena Delle Donne, not the 2019 Mystics? If Dallas beat the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty, are we sure THEY aren't the superteam? And what happened to Skipper, anyway?

Chatman gets into the weeds on exactly how she plans to utilize and develop Kelsey Mitchell, the second overall pick in the 2018 draft, and navigate her between the playmaker role and her ability to score while playing off the ball. Then there's how Victoria Vivians, the eighth overall pick in 2018, fits into Chatman's up-tempo offense, and where. Yes, the term "positionless basketball" comes up, no surprise given Chatman's innovations on that front. Other topics include how Candice Dupree will continue to grow into the role of top scorer, whether Stephanie Mavunga can be expected to grab all the rebounds as she did at Ohio State, timetables for Tiffany Mitchell and Shenise Johnson, and both short and long-term goals for the Fever in Chatman's eyes.

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?

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.

After last season's surprise trip to the Elite Eight, Oregon's 2017-18 season has surpassed expectations once again. Host and Editor-in-Chief of The Summitt (SummittHoops.com) Howard Megdal discusses what's gone right and why with Kelly Graves, who has built the Ducks into a legitimate national title contender ahead of schedule. The two talk about the huge leap forward in efficiency from Ruthy Hebard inside as well as long-range threat Lexi Bando. How Maite Cazorla and Sabrina Ionescu share playmaking duties, and what that flexibility means for the team's ability to maximize offensive production is broken down.

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.

After a long, successful tenure by Bill Laimbeer, the New York Liberty are now Katie Smith's team. Laimbeer said he thought it was time. The consensus around the league reinforced this. So what does Katie Smith think? Listen and find out. Smith discusses a broad range of topics, from what will remain the same in her charge and what will change for the Liberty, to precisely how a New York team that consistently reaches the playoffs but has yet to break into the Minnesota-Los Angeles range can take the final steps necessary to win the Liberty their first WNBA title. Plus, Smith weighs in on the differences between coaching and dentistry (spoiler alert: there are many!), how she reconciles her all-time great play with coaching those who are simply not as accomplished as she is, and precisely how much she is going to rely on the great Tina Charles, New York's star, in 2018 and beyond. There are plenty of reasons for optimism in the year ahead for the New York Liberty, but perhaps none as clear as the ascension of Katie Smith. Listen to her describe her plans and you'll understand why the league has been planning for Smith to coach a team since long before she even retired.

For new Atlanta Dream head coach Nicki Collen, the decision to leave the Connecticut Sun was far from an easy one. Collen, working with Curt Miller, helped shape the Sun into the next elite WNBA team in the eyes of many. But the challenge, and the opportunity to finally take ownership of a coaching job after decades in the trenches as an assistant both at the collegiate and professional level was too enticing to pass up. The long and winding road for Collen has included stints assisting her husband, Tom, all while raising three children. But when Tom exited coaching, it led to Nicki finally getting her chance to prove herself, and she spoke about what that means to her personally and professionally. Hear Collen discuss her early pro tennis dreams, life as a young basketball player with professional dreams, along with in-depth dissection of just how the Sun got so good so fast, and the many puzzle pieces she gets to arrange in Atlanta to bring that same success, and perhaps even more, to the Dream. Collen on what it will mean to mentor Layshia Clarendon, build around Angel McCoughtry, even how she plans to allow Elizabeth Williams to roam free out to the three-point line and much more can all be found here.

It's been a busy month for Lindsay Whalen, point guard for the 2017 WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx.
Whalen led her team through the WNBA playoffs, winning home games at Williams Arena, known as "The Barn that Weezy Built", per her teammate Maya Moore, University of Minnesota home court where Whalen had her glory years as an undergraduate. She was honored this past weekend by the Golden Gophers, enshrined in the athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater.
Meanwhile, the appearances keep coming—The Ellen Show, the Vikings-Packers game, not to mention the victory parade and celebrating her tenth wedding anniversary.
So how does she balance it all? What does it actually feel like to prove Tom Wolfe wrong and go home again in a way that is usually limited to dreams?

The news came this week that the Seattle Storm, building around the young core of Breanna Stewart and Jewell Loyd alongside icon Sue Bird, had hired an old hand at the WNBA coaching business to lead them: Dan Hughes.
For Hughes, whose epic career dates back to the earliest days of the league, it was an opportunity to overcome the disappointment he felt when the WNBA lottery balls favored Seattle over San Antonio, where he was the coach and general manager at the time.
Hughes counts working with Moriah Jefferson as a career highlight along with such accomplishments as taking San Antonio to the WNBA Finals and turning the Cleveland Rockers into the league's elite teams, but the chance to coach Stewart feels like something else altogether.
Hughes discussed an array of topics during this podcast, from whatever happened to his former assistant coach in Cleveland, one Cheryl Reeve, to the offensive and defensive goals he has for a Seattle team he says can be among the league's best, but will need to prove it.

It's been an unconventional rookie season for Kelsey Plum, the top overall pick in the 2017 WNBA draft by the San Antonio Stars.
But after a slow start, perpetuated by a lack of playing time, Plum is reminding everybody of the transcendent star she was during her four years playing for Mike Neighbors at University of Washington, setting scoring records while doing it with an efficiency no one has ever seen.
Last week, she collected 12 assists in one game, scored 23 points in another, and added to a remarkable stat: the Stars are 5-0 when she plays 30+ minutes, 1-21 when she doesn't.
We talk to Plum about that stat, the way her game has developed both off the ball and on the defensive end, along with an array of bigger-picture issues. Among them: what does it mean for the greater appreciation and understanding of women's basketball to have WNBA players in a video game? Exactly what does it mean when we compare women's players to men's players, and why don't we compare men's players to women's players more? Learn more about your ad choices.

The talent-packed USA Basketball U-23 team was picked on Friday afternoon, following the gathering of nearly two score of the most talented young basketball players in the country's pipeline.

Feinberg spoke to us about some of the players who impressed the most at camp, with Asia Durr of Louisville, UCLA's dynamic duo of Monique Billings and Jordin Canada earning particular praise.

What's followed, from her seamless fit into Atlanta head coach Michael Cooper's system to a broad-based success that includes an impressive block and rebound percentage, not to mention a top-15 defensive mark, has the league talking about her the way she thought of herself back in April.
