The 2026 WNBA season may be over, but there’s no shortage of decisions ahead. With free agency approaching, teams are already evaluating their rosters, weighing their options and figuring out what moves they need to make to compete in 2027. Zena, Annie and Sabreena go team by team to break down what every WNBA franchise needs most heading into next season.
Plus, the crew dives into the latest women’s college basketball storylines, including Michigan’s statement win over UConn, what the early-season loss means for the Huskies, Iowa’s reliance on key players and Kentucky’s impressive start under Kenny Brooks.
And to close things out, Zena puts Annie and Sabreena to the test with a round of Two Truths and a Lie.
