In today's episode you'll hear Sarah's honest and heartfelt conversation with UCLA women’s basketball head coach Cori Close from the espnW Summit NYC last week. They talk about putting an excellent season in perspective despite a disappointing ending, losing players to the transfer portal, and the challenge and opportunity presented by coaching sisters Lauren and Sienna Betts next season. Plus, new records are set, playoff tickets are punched, and a statue commemorates a hoops legend.
