This is a great game for Princeton WBB to get. Many power-conference programs refuse to play the Tigers, but next season, they already have games at Georgia Tech and Maryland. Both games are also homecomings for some Tigers, which has been a priority of Berube’s. The Next: A women's basketball newsroom at The IX

It's been a tough few days for Aaliyah Edwards amid reports that the Washington Mystics are taking calls about trading for her. But Edwards responded with arguably her best game of the season on Thursday. #WNBA My story for The Next: A women's basketball newsroom at The IX on how she did it: thenexthoops.com/wnba/washingto…

Halftime thoughts: The Sun are really making an effort to improve their spacing and ball movement. As a result, they’re finding shots. I talked to Lindsay Allen about this before the game: The Next: A women's basketball newsroom at The IX

Lindsay Allen told me before the game that Rachid Meziane was “getting on us this past week about the little things in our offense.” Specifically their spacing, setting screens and finding each other on the floor. The Next: A women's basketball newsroom at The IX
