The Point Gawd Chelsea Gray is known for her dazzling passes and her ability to be almost unguardable when she gets on a hot streak. On Sunday night, she delivered one of those kinds of performances, matching Marina Mabrey’s Unrivaled record for 3-pointers in a game with 10. The number is gaudy, but it was […]
The 2025-26 women’s college basketball season will NOT smoothly slide into March. Instead, the second-to-last Sunday of the regular season for Power Four conferences sent a tremor through the top 10, as three top-10 teams were taken down. Here’s how Clemson, Virginia and No. 13 Iowa earned upsets over No. 9 Duke, No. 8 Louisville […]
Last time, it took the WNBA approximately six weeks to respond to the mid-December collective bargaining agreement (CBA) proposal submitted by the WNBPA. This time around, the WNBA shared their response to the WNBPA’s latest counterproposal in three days. However, the league’s improved expeditiousness might as well be irrelevant, as the league did not address […]
On Friday night, Hive kept their playoff hopes alive, defeating Rose in what became a high-scoring, back-and-forth Unrivaled showdown. On Sunday night, Hive can strengthen their once-improbably playoff prospects with their first two-game winning streak of the season, while Rose needs to return to the win column to solidify their playoff standing. And for that […]
The SEC currently has a record-tying 10 ranked teams. But there’s little question about which one is the best. No. 3 South Carolina is a conference-leading 12-1, giving them a two-game cushion over their closest challengers, No. 4 Texas and No. 5 Vanderbilt, both of which have three conferences and were defeated by the Gamecocks. […]
Unrivaled is all about 3×3 basketball, but even within those parameters, it’s never just about the sport. Rickea Jackson recently missed Unrivaled play for personal reasons. Her ex-boyfriend was arrested after an alleged domestic violence dispute involving Jackson. Obviously, such a serious situation takes precedence over a game, and Jackson took the time she needed […]
In JuJu Watkins’ freshman season of 2023-24, USC advanced past the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006, also making the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight for the first time since 1994. They, of course, advanced to the Elite Eight again last year, and were denied a legitimate shot at […]
The playoff push will be the priority for three of the four Unrivaled clubs in action on Saturday night. While third-place Mist already has clinched their spot, Breeze, Vinyl and Lunar Owls need to improve or extend their playoff hopes. Although they currently occupy a playoff spot, both Breeze and Vinyl will be looking to […]
Unrivaled’s Friday action kicked off the weekend right. The night’s opening contest between the top two teams lived up to the hype, with Phantom beating Laces 64-58. And in the other matchup, Angel Reese made her exciting debut for Rose. While they lost 70-68 to Hive thanks to a Kelsey Mitchell layup, Reese played well, scoring […]
The 2026 EuroLeague Women play-ins started with a bang as the competition’s eight remaining teams opened their best-of-three series. With spots in April’s playoffs—or “Final Six”—on the line, the first week of play-ins were hard-fought by everyone involved, as clubs like Fenerbahçe Opet and Casademont Zaragoza earned convincing victories while Galatasaray Çağdaş Faktoring squeaked past […]
The Unrivaled excitement should be at an all-time high in Sephora Arena on Friday night. Not only does the Week 6 action begin with a battle between Phantom and Laces (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT/truTV), the second and first place teams in the standings, but the second game will welcome the return of Angel Reese, when […]
History was made in the Big Ten on Thursday. No. 2 UCLA defeated Washington 82-67, a win that ensured the Bruins will, at worst, tie for the Big Ten regular-season championship. With two games left, all UCLA has to do is win their next contest and they’ll be the sole champs of the Big Ten. […]
Is No. 17 Ole Miss the most maddening team in all of women’s college basketball? The Rebels have remained firmly in the top 20 throughout the season, yet, even after entering the season ranked No. 12, never truly threatened the top 10—with their middle-of-the-pack position reflective of a resume that is both pockmarked by bad […]
With conference tournaments just weeks away, it’s time to revisit the top national championship contenders. No. 1 UConn, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 South Carolina, No. 4 Texas and No. 7 LSU all profile as true title contenders this season, but each team carries a specific question that could decide whether they cut down the […]
Kristi Toliver threw her hands up in celebration as she ran back on defense after sinking a step-back, contested, game-tying triple right in front of the Maryland bench at then-TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. There were, of course, just 6.1 seconds remaining in regulation, and the Duke Blue Devils would not get off a good […]
On Tuesday, the world woke up to the news that Rev. Jesse Jackson passed away at the age of 84 after a recent battle with Parkinson’s Disease.

The play-ins are divided into […]
Week 3 is a critical one in Athletes Unlimited. Performing well in Week 3 not only puts a player in position to be a captain in Week 4, when captaincies are determined by the season-long, rather than weekly, Leaderboard, but, as a Week 4 captain, they’re also likely to increase their chances of being crowned […]
Laces may have already clinched an Unrivaled playoff spot, but they aren’t satisfied. They beat Hive 76-61 on Tuesday, while Lunar Owls upset Breeze 75-70 to keep themselves in the running for a postseason spot. Brittney Sykes had a dominant performance for Laces, scoring 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting. Her most impressive stretch happened from the […]
On Tuesday, the WNBPA shared their latest collective bargaining agreement (CBA) proposal with the WNBA.

[…]
After a hiatus for the second edition of the 1-on-1 Tournament, won in epic fashion by Chelsea Gray, Unrivaled resumes fullcourt 3×3 action in Sephora Arena on Tuesday evening, finishing out the Week 5 schedule.

Stewart is currently playing […]
The first Top 16 reveal somewhat usurps the AP Top 25 poll in terms of importance. While the AP poll, a compilation of the evaluations of approximately 30 media members, offers a weekly snapshot of the season, reflecting where a team stands based a the season-long and more recent performances, the Top 16 reveal provides […]
On Saturday, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee shared the first Top 16 reveal of the season, projecting the top four seeds for each of the four NCAA Tournament regions. Fort Worth 1 regional Sacramento 2 regional Forth Worth 3 regional Sacramento 4 regional While such forecasts are fun, it’s often foolish to try […]
