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).
