I love how much fun it is to watch A’ja Wilson play right now. Dominating on both ends—scoring at will, protecting the rim like her life depends on it.

We’re lucky to be watching this once-in-a-generation player in her prime.

Every time I hit publish, I’m reminded: writing is just a small part of running a newsletter.

Editing, fact-checking, and scheduling take 3x longer.

Respect to every creator out there who makes it look easy.

Three games on deck in the W tonight:

🟣 Sparks at Sun — 4 PM PT
⚫️ Aces at Fever — 4 PM PT (Prime Video)
💚 Storm at Sky — 5:30 PM PT

Connecticut’s trying to avoid a 4-game losing streak.
Vegas vs Indiana could be tight.
Seattle are favorites at home.

3. Diana Taurasi just launched her own girls basketball camp

The TAURASI Snow Valley Camp kicks off today in Santa Barbara for girls ages 11–18.

Taurasi: “Basketball has given me so much, and I couldn’t be more excited to give back.”

2. Paige Bueckers is putting on an efficiency clinic

There’s plenty of rookie hype—but Bueckers is in her own lane when it comes to efficiency.

🔥 18.2 PPG on 45% shooting
🔥 5.5 assists to 2.3 turnovers
🔥 8 assists, 0 TOs in the All-Star Game—an NBA/WNBA rookie record

1. Connecticut Sun will stay at Mohegan through 2026

After uncertainty, the team told season ticket holders they’re not leaving Uncasville (yet).

Last year, the Sun had to share a gym with a kid’s bday party during playoffs

WBB NEWS: The Connecticut Sun are staying put—but that anonymous player poll still stings.

Plus: Paige Bueckers’ ridiculous efficiency and Diana Taurasi’s new all-girls hoops camp.

Somebody get the ice bath ready for Veronica Burton… taking a beating out there

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Jul 9

I love our team, they play so hard

Morning hoops, let’s gooooo Valkyries!

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Jul 1

This season has been incredible. But man—this roster turnover is brutal.

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Jul 1

Being a Valkyries fan means:
A) Living your best life in a sold-out Chase Center
B) Mourning waived players you're attached to
C) All of the above

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Jul 1

Wore my “Rooting for Women’s Basketball” shirt to the Valkyries game last night… but honestly, that’s every day for me.

UConn vs USC is trickier. JuJu Watkins being out changes the equation—but it also takes the pressure off USC. They're motivated. They're dangerous.

Still, it's hard to pick against Paige Bueckers right now.

Give me UConn.

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Mar 31

Texas has solid guard play, tough defense, and tournament experience—

--but TCU feels like a team on a mission.

They’ve handled pressure, stayed composed, and have real momentum. And of course, they have HVL.

I'm going with TCU.

Kim Nunley @kimnunley.bsky.social · Mar 31

Two more teams punch their ticket to the Final Four tonight:

• TCU vs Texas – 7 PM ET
• UConn vs USC – 9 PM ET

Both on ESPN.

Here’s how I see it playing out:

Such a fascinating analysis today from @andytulin.net and @herhoopstats.com

They've ID'd 5 key rules that narrow the NCAAW national tourney field of 68 down to just 5 true contenders.
