Introducing: Good Game with Sarah Spain

Women’s hoops reporters Emma Baccellieri and Jordan Robinson join Sarah to chat about their new book Court Queens, which celebrates women’s basketball and the players and coaches who helped build its foundation. Jordan and Emma discuss their writing process, how they selected the most important moments from a century-plus of basketball history, and how they chose which nostalgic deep dives to share – like a quirky collection of WNBA-adjacent tunes that sadly never got re-upped for a second edition. Plus, the Badgers break the Buckeyes’ hearts again, winning while down, and March delivers on the promise of madness.

College Hockey & Trivia Butts with Nicole Haase

It’s a three-guest episode, y’all. First, with the WNBA and WNBPA reaching a verbal agreement on a new CBA, ESPN’s Alexa Philippou joins Sarah to break down the biggest takeaways from the new deal. Then, Vanderbilt basketball head coach Shea Ralph and superstar sophomore guard Mikayla Blakes join to discuss the program’s best season in years, share the quirkiest things about each other, and debunk the myth that some sort of magical fairy dust is powering one high profile, unbeaten opponent (cough, UConn, cough).
