Source confirms to me and @herhoopstats that unrestricted free agent Alanna Smith signed with Dallas Wings for three-years, protected $1,190,000/1,249,500/1,309,000. That's 3yr guaranteed max & max raises for the Aussie big who once cleared waivers. @alexaphilippou first. #WNBA

Source confirms to me and @herhoopstats that unrestricted free agent Erica Wheeler signed with the Los Angeles Sparks for two-years, protected, $625,000/$625,000. Nice reward after her surprising bounce-back year in Seattle. Signing announced, I think, by Wheeler herself. #WNBA

Wrapping up deals from last night. Can confirm via source that Azurá Stevens signed with Chicago Sky for three-years, protected, $1,000,000/$1,050,000/$1,100,000. Big guaranteed payday after career year in LA in 2025. Signing first reported by @alexaphilippou, I believe. #WNBA

Source confirms to me and @herhoopstats that Haley Jones signed with the Portland Fire for one-year, protected, $300,000. Portland giving Jones, who was reserved, a little bump up from her minimum and guaranteed money. #WNBA

New article from me today: WNBA Core Decisions Looking at which teams might use their core designation, who they might use it on, and the pros and cons of each case. Also, as always, explaining how it all works. #WNBA 🔗: herhoopstats.substack.com/p/… 📸: @chrisphoto15

🎥 Patience paid off as UCLA claims their first Women’s Basketball national championship. Full Episode: 🍎 apple.co/4spFVU1 📺 bit.ly/4dyw6zw Clip from The Gauer Hour Podcast Hosts: @megangauer @r_joyce34 @CSNowTweets

For the first time in the NCAA era, @UCLAWBB is your national champion. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce take you through Final Four weekend, and more. 🍎 apple.co/4spFVU1 📺 bit.ly/4dyw6zw

Lauren Betts currently has 10 pts and 11 rebs. It's her 6th game this tournament in double figures (Tessa Johnson too!). Players who have done that in the 2020s: Paige Buckers 2025 Sarah Strong 2025 Caitlin Clark 2024 Caitlin Clark 2023 Angel Reese 2023 Aliyah Boston 2022 Aari McDonald 2021 herhoopstats.com/stats/ncaa/…

UCLA is only shooting 28.6% from deep today, but that's still better than South Carolina's 26.2% overall.

Ever since Caitlin Clark waved her off in the 2023 Final Four, South Carolina's Raven Johnson has shot a blistering 51.5% (17-33) from three over her last three NCAA Tournaments. Just five minutes away from the national championship game!

The last time UConn scored 50 points or less? Their loss to South Carolina in the 2022 championship game. That was a 64-59 win for the Gamecocks. herhoopstats.com/ask/ncaa-te…

South Carolina has 4 baskets and 4 turnovers.

Follow along with us tonight for the Women’s Final Four!
