Lynx Rally to Stun Mercury, Fever Deals Aces a Bad Hand + Unrivaled Season 2

Zena and Sabreena are joined by Brendan Glasheen, play-by-play announcer for the Connecticut Sun and Unrivaled. Together, they dive into the WNBA semifinals, discussing the performances of the top MVP vote-getters in their respective Game 1s, plus what adjustments the Aces and the Mercury need to make if they’re going to notch a win next time around. Then, it’s a deep dive into Unrivaled: the impact the league’s first season had on the WNBA’s current season, and some big changes to expect when Unrivaled’s second season rolls around in January. Finally, Sabreena quizzes Brendan on his memory of the 2025 Sun season. _________________ References: Unrivaled women’s basketball league announces 2 expansion teams, 18 roster spots by Ben Pickman Indiana Fever, Minnesota Lynx make WNBA semifinals statements with victories by Sabreena Merchant and Jon Krawczynski Kelsey Mitchell played in 6 losing seasons with the Indiana Fever.
