  • Dallas Wings, UConn players and Sedona Prince

    The 2025 WNBA Draft is in the books, and the Dallas Wings hope that it will be another transformative event in the league's history, much like the 2024 draft was for the Indiana Fever. As expected, Paige Bueckers was the top overall selection - though perhaps unexpectedly, walking the stage in her second outfit of the evening - and there weren't too many surprises through the evening until the third round.

    As Sarah Strong dominated the South Carolina frontcourt during UConn's national championship victory, gobbling up rebounds, protecting the rim and scoring from everywhere on the court, it was easy to imagine her also doing so at the next level.

    When the Los Angeles Sparks traded out of the WNBA Draft lottery to acquire Kelsey Plum, part of the organization's stated rationale was skepticism about who would be available to select with the No. 2 pick. A similar thought process informed Chicago's decision to trade No. 3 for Ariel Atkins. Both of the projected top-two picks, Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles, had additional years of collegiate eligibility, as did several other highly ranked prospects.

  • South Carolina lands Ta’Niya Latson, nation’s leading scorer, after title game loss

    Between the third and fourth quarters of the national championship game, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was asked on the broadcast, “Who else can score for you right now? Where do those points come from?”AdvertisementStaley responded, “I don’t know,” as her team struggled to find offense in a 23-point defeat. Now, the Gamecocks are adding the nation’s leading scorer, as Ta’Niya Latson announced Tuesday on Instagram that she will transfer to South Carolina for her final college season.
