Chelsea shares her "way too early" prediction for the 2026 champions.

Then we've got TwinBackcourt, Mia and Mya Pauldo from the University of Tennessee. They discuss their SEC journey, what made Tennessee the right choice, and their upbringing in a basketball-focused household. The twins also talk about their historic multi-year NIL deal and navigating the spotlight from a reality show while sharing their hopes for the current season.
