In Case You Missed It with Khristina Williams

In this episode of In Case You Missed It, Khristina Williams sits down with Sandy Brondello, the new head coach of the Toronto Tempo. They discuss Brondello’s journey in the WNBA, including her championship success with the New York Liberty, and her current task of building the Toronto Tempo as a new franchise. Brondello is as candid as ever as she shares her strategies, the importance of community engagement, and her vision for cultivating talent and establishing a winning culture in professional women's basketball. Plus, what does she think about the added pressure of coaching a team that plays for an entire country?

Nearly a year after WNBA players opted out of their CBA, WNBPA Executive Director Terri Jackson joins Khristina to break down where WNBA CBA talks stand — and what’s really at stake. With the 30-day extension ticking down, Jackson discusses pay equity, player-led protest moments that defined the 2025 season, and why this round of negotiations feels different — not just for the league, but for the direction of women’s sports itself.

Two-time WNBA champion Dana Evans joins Khristina to break down her rise from Gary, Indiana, to winning titles with the Chicago Sky and Las Vegas Aces. She talks about stepping into star-studded rosters, making her mark in the Finals, and proving her impact on every team she’s joined — sharing what it takes to keep winning at the highest level.

In this episode, Khristina is joined by Notre Dame women’s basketball coach Niele Ivey. Niele shares her journey in women’s basketball, from player to assistant and head coach. She discusses the growing support for women’s sports, building team chemistry, and the lessons she learned from mentor Muffet McGraw. The conversation covers leadership, the WNBA’s evolution, and the impact of NIL on college athletes. Ivey also shares her pride in her son, NBA player Jaden Ivey, and her dedication to developing her team’s success both on and off the court.

This week, we dive into the upcoming Women's College Basketball season with analyst Chelsea Sherrod. We discuss the top contenders like UConn and South Carolina, the impact of key recruits such as Olivia Vukosa, and how transfer portal acquisitions are shaking up the landscape, including MiLaysia Fulwiley to LSU and Olivia Miles to TCU. Chelsea shares her "way too early" prediction for the 2026 champions.

Then we've got TwinBackcourt, Mia and Mya Pauldo from the University of Tennessee. They discuss their SEC journey, what made Tennessee the right choice, and their upbringing in a basketball-focused household. The twins also talk about their historic multi-year NIL deal and navigating the spotlight from a reality show while sharing their hopes for the current season.
