Intro

This weekend, two top-ten women’s college basketball teams — the USC Trojans and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish — face off in Los Angeles. It will be a battle between two of the league’s biggest stars, USC’s Juju Watkins and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo.

Another player to watch coming this season is UConn’s Paige Bueckers, but you already know that because she has been the player to watch since she was in middle school. 

All three of these stars are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a fresh new season of women’s college basketball unburdened from the discourse that dominated last season. Elle Duncan joins us to explain how the wave of excitement from last season shows no signs of stopping this year.
