Yesterday, AU released its 2024 roster, which features 29 current and former WNBA athletes, and announced that games will be available for free on the WNBA App for the first time ever.

The February event will be the first dedicated exclusively to basketball content, and while most entries are men’s basketball features, the WNBA–focused reality show is riding a months-long hype train.

Things were messy AF in women’s basketball (WBB) and men’s basketball (MBB) this weekend, and that’s not even counting the potential sign-stealing scandal brewing on the guys’ court.

One of the regular season’s most compelling (and expensive!) matchups is set to take place tomorrow between the sport’s biggest powerhouse, No. 1 South Carolina, and reigning national champ No. 9 LSU.

On yesterday’s episode of The GIST of It, Wilson explained how the activation puts the two pro basketball leagues on equal footing. Savoring every bite.

As mentioned on yesterday’s episode of The GIST of It, the constant upsets and unprecedented parity on the men’s court make it feel like anyone can win the natty.

There was some Top-10 men’s mayhem this weekend (more on that later), but all eyes (literally!) were on women’s hoops — and the gals more than lived up to the hype.

At this point, a massive upset on the men’s court — even USF’s 20-point comeback against No. 10 Memphis yesterday — barely registers as news.

Last week’s mayhem made Monday’s Top 25 lists nearly unrecognizable from the previous polls — and they don’t even account for the four upsets that went down on the men’s court last night.

Before we dive deeper into Bama’s bombshell gridiron news, there’s chaos to discuss on the hardwood, where six ranked men’s teams suffered upsets…since our last newsletter just 48 hours ago.
