Lisa Bluder won’t go anywhere after her retirement as Iowa women’s basketball coach. New head coach Jan Jensen confirmed Bluder would stay with the program as an advisor during Wednesday’s presser. Bluder just wrapped up her 24th season as the Iowa coach and has amassed a 528-253 overall record. She has directed the Hawkeyes to five Big Ten Tournament championships, four of which have come since 2019, and 18 NCAA Tournament appearances. She’ll still be around the program with the rest of the staff intact under Jensen. “I think it’s great that Lisa agreed to be in an advisor role,” Jensen said....

Caitlin Clark showed off some good and bad in her WNBA debut with the Indiana Fever Tuesday night. In the 92-71 loss to the Connecticut Sun, Clark led Indiana with 20 points and three assists. However, she produced 10 turnovers, which was the most ever for a WNBA debut. It’ll be something Clark can adjust to, but ESPN’s Andraya Carter pointed out some of her college tactics won’t work at this level. “I saw Caitlin Clark in her first WNBA game facing the best defense in the league, the Connecticut Sun are known for their defense,” Carter said on Get Up. “That’s what they do. They’re physical, t...

With the WNBA season kicking off on Tuesday night, it was a chance for the stars of the league to sport a headline-making outfit. And some stars of the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, including A’ja Wilson and Jackie Young, went bold with their pregame outfits for the season opener. Hosting the Phoenix Mercury for a 10 p.m. EST tipoff in Las Vegas, Wilson and Young both rocked some leather, but with varying styles. Wilson went for a suit-like outfit from Louis Vuitton with red leather accents on the blue, almost-denim like material. The candy apply red sunglasses help complete the look. And...

All eyes on Tuesday night were on the debut of former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark, meanwhile experienced veteran DeWanna Bonner quietly made a little piece of WNBA history. The Connecticut Sun forward and former Auburn star hit a bucket during the third quarter of the contest that moved her into fifth place on the WNBA career scoring list. She passed Candice Dupree. Dupree played in the WNBA for 16 years, a former first-round pick who tallied a career 6,895 points. Bonner has played in the WNBA for 14 seasons, so she broke Dupree’s mark in considerably less time. Each of the three players cur...

Following a frustrating first half, Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark got the support of one of her teammates most likely to understand the immense pressure to perform that she’s under. Former No. 1 overall pick Aliyah Boston grabbed Clark and had a quick word or two as the pair was headed to the locker room at halftime. Boston appeared to calm Clark down a bit, and Clark eventually offered a high-five toward the end of their brief chat. Boston had previously chimed in on what it would take for Clark to settle in and how her teammates could be of service. “We just talk to her, we encourage her,” Bo...

Former Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark has her first points in the WNBA, scoring on a driving layup in a game against the Connecticut Sun. It took a bit, but she finally broke through. Clark started 0-for-4 from the floor, frustrated a little bit by the Sun’s defense and foul trouble in the opening stanza. That would only last so long, of course. With about five and a half minutes remaining in the second quarter, Clark got the ball on the right side of the floor and cut to the baseline, reaching up for a layup and scoring. Check it out below. It’ll be interesting to see if Clark heats up as the g...

She opened up during the Fever’s pregame shootaround Tuesday. “I’m happy for her,” Clark said. “I called her and talked to her on the phone and she probably p...

Virginia Tech softball coach Pete D’Amour does not want to get ahead of himself when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. First up, it’s San Diego State on Friday in the Los Angeles Regional, hosted by UCLA. But D’Amour does not want to look ahead if the Hokies can get out there and get to the Super Regional. It’s a cliche, but it’s true. One game at a time. “I mean, you all know me well enough where we’re day to day,” D’Amour said. “And so we had coach (Huemul) Mata and coach (Mike) Lewis throw against our kids today and we scored a bunch of runs. And you just gotta keep reminding the players tha...
