The gals are getting paid. On Wednesday, the NCAA unanimously voted to pay women’s college basketball teams for playing in the NCAA Tournament, a long-overdue perk men’s squads have received for years. Here’s what you need to know about the game-changing decision.

Unrivaled, the innovative 3v3 league founded by WNBA superstars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, is tipping off tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Miami. Before the action hits the hardwood, let’s lay out all the deets about this exciting women’s hoops venture. Swish, swish.

Women’s college basketball is hotter than ever, with new stars, new contenders, and the same amazing on-court product. Here’s what to know as we near the midway point of the season.

March will be here before you know it, so before the regular season flies by, let's check in on the biggest and brightest stars of the men’s college basketball world, shall we?

Yesterday, the WNBA’s Toronto Tempo announced Sephora Canada as the team’s first founding partner and official beauty partner. It’s a major step forward for sports newcomer Sephora — which recently signed a multiyear U.S. partnership with Unrivaled — as it quickly covers ground in women’s basketball, where the next generation of beauty shoppers is sitting courtside.

The women’s and men’s basketball schedules are in full conference play mode, delivering must-see matchups night after night. Why let March have all the fun? There’s plenty to go mad about right now.

It’s only January, but the women’s basketball space is already buzzing with madness usually reserved for March.

Six-time NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler might’ve played his last game with the Miami Heat after receiving a team-issued seven-game suspension for eyebrow-raising comments about his on-court unhappiness in the 305. So much for “no shenanigans.”

Nonconference basketball was wild — remember when the now-No. 1 UCLA women snapped then-No. 1 South Carolina’s 43-game winning streak? But conference play is when stars shine the brightest.

Stockings were hung by the chimney with care because on Christmas Day, NBA and NFL action would be there. So today unwrap this present — a complete primer for all of the glorious games, tackling both the gridiron and the hardwood.

The NBA’s in-season tournament is wrapping up just in time for the holidays with tomorrow’s 8:30 p.m. ET winner-take-all NBA Cup finale that will feature a pair of No. 1 seeds: the Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma City (OKC) Thunder.

In a recent SB Nation interview, Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell confirmed the new 3v3 pro women’s basketball league boasts a salary pool exceeding $8M. That’s a $242K average salary for the league’s 33 players (and $222K if all 36 spots are filled), exceeding the WNBA’s current $214K max salary. This doesn’t consider player equity or revenue sharing, which is worth millions.
