WNBA Playoffs Are SET! Bracket Breakdown + Nneka Ogwumike & Connecticut Sun Say Goodbye

The WNBA Playoff Bracket is officially set, and the postseason tips off this Sunday! 🏀🔥

On today’s show, we break down all four first-round matchups, including the season-series history, the series we’re most excited to watch, potential sweeps, upset opportunities, and our dark horse team.

In this episode:

• 🏀 WNBA Playoff Bracket Breakdown
• 🗽 Lynx vs. Liberty — New York won the season series 2-1
• 🌉 Valkyries vs. Wings — Golden State swept the season series 3-0
• 💥 Aces vs. Fever — Indiana won the season series 2-1
• 🔥 Dream vs. Mystics — Washington won the season series 2-1
• 👀 Which series could produce an upset?
• 🧹 Which team is most likely to get swept?

We also recap Thursday's action, including Minnesota's dominant win over Indiana, A'ja Wilson's 34-point performance against Phoenix, and Washington's win over Chicago.

And then, we say goodbye to two major chapters in WNBA history.

Nneka Ogwumike played her final WNBA game, finishing with 17 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists as the Sparks fell to the Golden State Valkyries in a wild 76-75 finish.

Meanwhile, the Connecticut Sun played their final game in Connecticut before the franchise relocates to Houston for the 2027 season and becomes the Houston Comets.

It's the end of an era—and the beginning of the WNBA playoffs.
