Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury is as polarizing a player as there is in the WNBA. To some, she is the G.O.A.T., and her amazing abilities on the court and extreme competitive nature make her a joy to watch. To others, she is a whiner and complainer, whose ego trumps her talents and makes her an object of criticism. The truth is there is somet…

When I first started watching women’s basketball, many years ago at this point, one of the teams that captured my imagination and made the game so exciting was the New York Liberty, especially in the early years of the WNBA.

The last time a WNBA champion repeated the next year was back in 2001 and 2002. That team was the Los Angeles Sparks. So, who is to say the streak of non-repeaters will not end in 2017 with the same franchise? Last year’s WNBA finals were women’s basketball at its best, and its worst. Amazing talent graced the floor for both teams, but refereeing m…

Even with the rise in transfers lately, one of the great things about women's college basketball is that the overwhelming majority of players stay four years, completing their eligibility in one place.

When Kelly Graves took over the helm of the Oregon women’s basketball program, he had a lot of work to do.
