We kick off with upsets: we break down Iowa’s short-handed stunner over #7 Baylor—shoutouts to Ava Heiden and Hannah Stuelke, and Baylor’s Taliah Scott—then relive Notre Dame’s buzzer-beating win over #11 USC behind Hannah Hidalgo, improved defense, and lifts from KK Bransford and Vanessa De Jesus.
We keep it rolling with marquee wins and tight games: we unpack #1 UConn vs. #6 Michigan—spotlighting Syla Swords, Azzi Fudd, and Sarah Strong—and why Michigan looks disciplined, plus Kentucky’s 72–62 rivalry win over Louisville.
We celebrate clutch moments with Arizona State’s last-second three vs. UNLV, then preview Thanksgiving tournaments—the Player’s Era (Las Vegas), Discover Puerto Rico Shootout, and Virgin Islands Paradise Jam—with the matchups and teams to watch.
We close with can’t-miss games—Texas–UCLA, South Carolina–Duke, Maryland–Kentucky, and Tennessee–UCLA—share our own holiday tourney memories (Becca in Puerto Rico, Sydney at the Paradise Jam), and pick the Player’s Era as our must-see, with a soft spot for the Virgin Islands vibes.
