As we round the turn into the final stretch of the NCAA women’s basketball regular season, Chauny, Tyler and Andrew ponder who might be the most underrated and underseeded teams ahead of March Madness. And after an insanely dramatic week that ventured into the uncouth between LSU and South Carolina, the crew discusses the battle between Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley and why MiLaysia Fulwiley is now caught in the crossfire. They examine the dynamic guards transfer to Baton Rouge first through a basketball lens and then through a more global one.

While the show was supposed to start with discussion about the WNBA CBA and recent developments, the WNBA decided to wait until the literal 11th hour on Tuesday night to, more or less, kill any momentum both sides were making in the negotiating process.

Finally, if you haven’t heard…

We’re going to be LIVE in Austin! On February 21, 2026, No Cap Space WBB will be hosting, in conjunction with Texas women’s basketball, Longhorn Legends Live, in the auditorium at the Moody College of Journalism. Tyler will emcee, Chauny will host and a who’s who of Texas hall-of-famers from the legendary 1986 team will be on a rotating panel to discuss their time in Austin and the legacy they left as the first NCAA women’s basketball champions to go undefeated.
