Locked On Women's Basketball – Daily Podcast On The WNBA – Details, episodes & analysis

Host Jackie Powell is joined by the IndyStar’s Chloe Peterson to preview the Friday night’s final regular season matchup between the Fever and the Sky. What’s to be expected in this final regular season battle and what’s at stake for each team when it comes to playoff positioning? Then the pair dive into the contentious Rookie of the Year race between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. What are the different qualitative and quantitative methods that help us evaluate who ought to be rookie of the year? What is the case for both Clark and Reese?

Satou Sabally has been described as a unicorn. But let's dig into what that means. How common are passing bigs? What has changed about the WNBA roster makeups?
