AB attended the game alongside Lexie Hull and Brianna Turner to celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day. During halftime, she was asked about being a role model for young girls.

“It’s super important,” Boston said. “We’re in a unique position where we can influence young girls to continue playing sports. And honestly, shout out to the Pacers. They host this every year. There’s no better feeling than seeing young girls happy and dreaming big.”

The Pacers organized the event, involving their players who talked about their commitment to help female athletes grow. And for Aliyah Boston, it was a deeply impactful gesture.

At 12, Boston moved to Massachusetts in search of better opportunities. She attended Worcester Academy, where her career took off. She became a three-time Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year and a McDonald’s All-American.

So, having walked a difficult path herself, AB frequently uses her platform to support those hoping to follow in her footsteps.

Aliyah Boston Always Uses Her Voice for a Greater Cause

The Indiana Fever star runs the Aliyah Boston Foundation, which focuses on empowering young girls through education and opportunity. Just last year, she hosted a financial literacy summit in her hometown of St. Thomas.

The event helped eighth graders learn essential money-management skills through interactive games. Beyond that, in 2024, Boston joined the WNBA Changemakers Collective. Through a partnership with Voice In Sport, she mentors young girls and encourages them to stay involved in sports while developing leadership skills on and off the court.

Moments like her message at the NBA arena make one thing clear. This wasn’t a one-time gesture. Aliyah Boston has consistently shown up in support of women and the next generation of athletes.

The UConn star was named to the midseason top 10 for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award on Tuesday. This honor recognizes the nation’s best shooting guard.

Previously, Fudd appeared on the preseason watchlist for the award in 2021–22, 2022–23, and 2024–25. However, she did not advance to the February shortlist in those seasons, as injuries limited her availability and role.

Azzi Fudd makes the midseason top 10 for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, given to the country's best shooting guard.

Fudd is averaging a career-high 17.1 pts on 48.7% FG, 44.1% 3PT, 97.1% FT. She ranks 14th nationally in 3PT% with more makes (67) than anyone else in the top 15. https://t.co/jGdK8eNYxS

— Emily Adams (@eaadams6) February 3, 2026

Fudd is producing her most complete season after missing time in earlier years due to injury. She is averaging 17.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game. Her shooting splits stand at 48.7% from the field, 44.1% from three-point range, and 97.1% from the free-throw line. That includes a 27-point outing against Tennessee.

In that game, she made five three-pointers and scored 27 points. The performance came against UConn’s long-time rival and marked one of her top scoring nights this season

But even after a solid solo performance, Fudd credited the team first for the dominant win. “It was really great for us to have to go through, and I also think the way that we handled it was phenomenal. I’m proud of that and how we came out.”

Who Else Is on the List?

Other than Azzi Fudd (UConn), the midseason list includes Ta’Niya Latson (South Carolina), Flau’jae Johnson (LSU), Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt), Syla Swords (Michigan), Gianna Kneepkens (UCLA), Taliah Scott (Baylor), Delaney Gibb (BYU), Tajianna Roberts (Louisville), and Rachel Ullstrom (Richmond).

Talking to Front Office Sports, Wright stated, “Now that Caitlin Clark and others have catalyzed a new moment of interest, this time, the network is there to capitalize on that interest instead of letting it peak and go.”

Ever since Caitlin Clark entered the WNBA in 2024, her popularity has a direct impact on the WNBA with greater attendance, higher ratings, increased sponsor interest, and more merchandise sales. That boom has carried through to the 2025 season as well.

And it’s not just Clark. Female athletes all over the world are redefining the sports business market. Just a few weeks ago, Trinity Rodman became the highest-paid female athlete in the world. The NWSL even changed their cap regulations for her contract. That’s why Wright added:

“There’s strong commercial momentum that is going to last longer than just a flash in the pan. It’s going to be a great 10-year run no matter what, even if we all fumbled it. But if we do this right, this becomes a 30-year run on these assets that will continue to grow even faster than men’s sports.”

The numbers prove it. Back in 2024, revenue from women’s sports was $1.88 billion, and later grew to $2.35 billion in 2025.

So, how will Project Level and Wright grow the industry even further?

Jason Wright Has a Plan

Project Level has secured $250 million to invest in women’s sports. This fund will be used as an investment, and will range from data analytics and ticketing platforms to parking lot operators and more. As Wright explained:

“Those things are uns*** compared to the teams and leagues that make headlines. But they’re really important for making sure the guest experience is world-class, that these teams grow at a sustainable rate, and that stadium complexes have a differentiated bill of events that bring in additional revenue.”

This new capital injection is poised to accelerate growth across the WNBA and beyond.

On Sunday, the two met in a dominant showdown at Hartford, CT. The game drew 1,213,000 viewers on FOX Sunday, the most-watched women’s college hoops game on any network this season to date.

The number overshadows the nearly 1.1 million viewers who tuned in for last season’s USC-Iowa matchup and marks a significant milestone for the sport.

Interestingly, when Nielsen released the women’s basketball TV ratings for 2026 a week ago, UConn wasn’t in the top 10. In fact, it was Iowa State that was ranked at the top. But we can see why the Huskies are so popular.

UConn is the only undefeated team. And on Sunday night, they went past the Lady Vols, with the score at halftime reading 42-42. But the contest turned into a one-sided affair from here.

It ended up being the largest margin of victory by either team in the history of the series. The Huskies ended the game 96-66. And for Tennessee, it was also the second-worst loss the program has ever taken in the NCAA season.

Their effort is being recognized by long-time coach Geno Auriemma.

Geno Auriemma Breaks Down the Team’s Performance

“I think had it been a 30-point lead at halftime, I would have been really, really disappointed. You play these games to be really tested, to find out a little bit about what your team is made of. … It’s good that you have to kind of regroup and find yourself.”

That’s the effort Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong combined. They scored 53 points.

“The fact that last year they all felt like they played poorly so going into today’s game, there was a sense of, ‘We’ve got a job to do, we’ve got a game to play that means a lot more to us than just a regular-season game.'”

And now the No. 1 UConn team looks to keep its ongoing momentum in a Big East matchup at DePaul on Wednesday.

On 3rd February, Lindsey Vonn took to Instagram with a heartfelt post, announcing that she plans to compete in the Olympics despite suffering an ACL tear.

As expected, the post spread across social media, and Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink and others, stepped in to show their support. 

CC responded with a message of encouragement, writing, “.” Well, the support felt personal as Fever star herself felt that pain.

A post shared by B/R W Sports (@brwsports)

During the 2025 season, she battled injuries of her own. She missed key games and was limited to just 13 appearances. However, she wasn’t the only WNBA star to chime in.

Even Cameron Brink shared a powerful message. “You are amazing truly one of my best mentors through injury. Always cheering for you ,” she wrote.

For her, the moment carried extra weight as an ACL tear cut Brink’s rookie season short. She also missed the Olympics because of it. And it was Vonn who offered her valuable advice during that recovery process. Something that Brink admitted on her Instagram story today. 

But that’s not it. The post also drew support from athletes across the sports world. Olympic gymnasts Jade Carey and Laurie Hernandez responded, along with alpine skier Chemmy Alcott, para triathlete Grace Norman, and skateboarding icon Leticia Bufoni. 

They all compete in different arenas and under different pressures, but shared a common understanding of resilience, especially when it comes to injury and recovery. And honestly, Vonn needed that support more than ever.

Lindsey Vonn Opens Up After Hurtful Skier Comment

Following her injury, Vonn admitted she was deeply upset by how some fellow skiers reacted after a women’s World Cup downhill race in Switzerland was canceled.

The race was stopped after several skiers crashed, including Vonn, who was injured during her run. As Officials deemed the conditions unsafe, the event was called off. 

But after the cancellation, some racers were caught on a live microphone expressing frustration. One skier was even heard saying, “Some athletes count more than others,” implying the race had been canceled because of Vonn. 

Naturally, hearing those comments, Vonn felt hurt. And in that moment, the show of unity from fellow athletes mattered.

Caitlin Clark’s name has been all over the sports world this offseason. None other than Patriots QB Drake Maye. So, during a post-playoff interview, Maye gave the WNBA superstar a shoutout that’s now making waves across both basketball and football circles.​

Maye didn’t hold back his inspiration during the interview. “And then I heard Caitlin Clark was pulling for us in the playoffs, so hopefully catch a touchdown from Caitlin Clark would be cool,” he said.

The comment came as Maye was asked about athletes he respects, and Clark’s name immediately came to mind alongside tennis legend Serena Williams.​

A post shared by Just Women’s Sports (@justwomenssports)

The Patriots QB was clear when he doubled down on his praise. “I know she’s a baller,” Maye added. And he’s not wrong. Clark just wrapped up a dominant 2025 WNBA season where she averaged 16.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 13 games played.

Her court vision and playmaking ability have drawn comparisons to some of the game’s all-time greats. 

What makes Maye’s comments even more significant is that he mentioned Clark alongside Serena Williams. “I’ve gotten into tennis a little more, a lot of respect to Serena Williams,” Maye said. “She’s maybe one of the greatest of all time, the greatest female athletes of all time”. 

Having Clark’s name in the same conversation as Williams, who is a 23-time Grand Slam champion, speaks volumes about the impact Clark has already made in women’s sports.​

Clark’s Admiration for Maye Was Already Public

Caitlin Clark’s support for Maye was already made public before  Drake Maya made comments on her. The Indiana Fever star spoke about her NFL playoff during a December appearance on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce.

When they were discussing which teams they would be supporting, Clark was clear about where her interest was. “Honestly, I’m a Drake Maye fan,” she said. “I think he has been incredible, and I think the Patriots are, I mean… I’ll probably be pulling for the Patriots”. 

The exchange highlighted a genuine crossover moment between two young stars operating at the top of their respective sports.​

Clark’s offseason hasn’t been quiet either. She recently appeared in two live segments as a special contributor for NBC’s.  And this was an entirely new role for the standout guard.

She spoke on several topics, including her stance on the ongoing CBA negotiations. The network is banking on Clark’s massive following to boost viewership for its Sunday Night Basketball relaunch, and she’s scheduled to return for another pregame show on March 29.

Ahead of the Lakers vs. Knicks game, the analyst desk was full of praise for CC and her impact in such a short WNBA career. But then Reggie Miller was asked which NBA player CC resembles. “Payton Pritchard” Miller replied. 

And that’s exactly what started the buzz, since many have long compared the Indiana Fever superstar to all-time greats, so the choice surprised many. Cunningham, however, isn’t exactly on board with the crowd.  “I mean, [Clark is] a dweeb. She knows the game, so that’s no shock,” Cunningham said on a recent episode of Show Me Something.

Still, she admitted it was “probably not the best comparison,” especially considering Clark’s generational talent and star power. And she’s not alone.

Paul Pierce Echoed Similar Sentiments

The Celtics legend reacted to Miller’s comment on an episode of No Fouls Given. “This is an embarrassment,” Pierce said while watching the clip of Clark speaking with Miller. But then he went even further. 

He argued that CC’s skill set aligns more closely with Stephen Curry, not just because of the shooting, but because of her gravity.  That’s because her stretches defenses, pulls viewers, and changes the game the moment she steps on the floor. And no doubt this comparison makes sense. 

CC indeed has a reputation for her deep-range shooting and step-back threes. and logo shots that electrify arenas. That said, Miller’s intent can still be debated. He did call CC one of the best shooters Indiana has ever seen.

So what do you think? Who is the best NBA comparison for Caitlin Clark?

After her Australian Open exit, the American has reunited with her little one. And a sweet clip confirmed how much this moment meant for both of them.

On February 2, 2026, Taylor Townsend posted a video on her Instagram story with her son, Adyn Aubrey. The overjoyed 4-year-old was holding her neck, grinning ear to ear.

Townsend captioned the clip with just one word: “reunited”. The tennis star’s bond with her son, AJ, has always been emotional and inspiring. After her loss at the 2025 US Open, AJ uplifted his mother with “Good job, mom. It’s okay.” When she leaves for games, he doesn’t forget to remind her to bring back trophies.

“This means the world to me to be able to show him what Mama did”, Taylor Townsend wrote in her story back in 2024. So, it’s natural that every reunion feels like a win that goes beyond the titles and court.

Although this year’s AO didn’t go her way, Townsend did make deep runs in this year’s championship.

Taylor Townsend’s Performance in the 2026 AO

The 29-year-old’s singles campaign was the shortest. Townsend lost the first round of the women’s singles to Hailey Baptiste 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. However, the 2024 Wimbledon champion reached the quarterfinals of Women’s doubles with partner Katerina Siniakova, without dropping a set.

Unfortunately, they lost to Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic by 6–2, 3–6, 6–0. The 2025 AO Women’s Doubles champion also reached the semifinals of the mixed doubles with Nikola Mektic. Yet, as the pair faced the all-Australian defending champions, Olivia Gadecki and John Peers, they fell short by a dramatic 7–6(2), 2–6, [13–11] tiebreak.

While Taylor Townsend didn’t make any official statement after her Australian Open exit, she did lay out her goal ahead of the tournament in Melbourne.

“My short-term goal is to get back inside the Top 100… That’s very attainable. Then it’s Top 50, and then we go from there,” said the player. So it may be safe to say that the veteran will be back in the court sooner rather than later.

South Carolina is gripping tightly to the momentum they gained, winning three games in a row. But to Dawn Staley, it was Edwards who stood out particularly in this game.

On February 3, 2026, the Gamecocks beat Texas A&M 71-56 to take thier winning streak to four. However, it wouldn’t be possible without forward Edwards’ standout performance. She scored 28 points and 11 rebounds, 14 of which came in the fourth quarter.

“Yeah, she can play make. I just thought down the stretch we were a lot more focused on getting the ball where it needed to be”, the Coach said.

“I think for a lot of the game offensively, we didn’t do a good job of moving the ball in a way that really impacts the defense. So, we just played according to how Texas A&M wanted us to play. They did a great job of executing defensively”, she added.

By the 3rd quarter, the Aggies had nearly erased South Carolina’s lead. They rounded up 16 points against the Gamecocks’ 14. And the results could have looked different without Edwards’ 67–53 lead under two minutes remaining.

While Staley acknowledged the victory, she stressed that her team must improve for the coming games.

What’s Next for South Carolina?

With this win, the Gamecocks stand at 22-2 overall and 8-1 in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina’s roster includes Madina Okot, who averages 13.4 ppg and 10.0 rpg.

Then there is Ta’niya Latson with 15.2 ppg and 3.7 assists. However, in this game, no double digits came from them.

They’ll face the Mississippi State Bulldogs on February 5. However, the schedule will get tougher with the Tennessee Lady Volunteers on Feb 8 and the 5th-seeded LSU Tigers on Feb 14. If the turnovers and poor spacing continue, Staley’s team will again be in a tight spot.

How do you think the Gamecocks will do in their next match? Comment your thoughts.

During the show on February 1st, Caitlin Clark was the special contributor, alongside several NBA legends like Miller. That’s when Miller compared her to Payton Pritchard.

“This is an embarrassment… Like she had the look of like, ‘Bro, I was thinking more Steph Curry.’ Her skill set and her magnetic pull… They’re not doubling him [Payton Pritchard] everywhere, face guarding denying him like they do her like they do Steph,” Pierce said.

This comparison isn’t new. Ever since Clark made waves in the NCAA, fans began putting her next to Curry in debates. And her impact in just two years has been clear.

Let’s see what the numbers say. Both stars are incredible shooters. Curry has an average FG% of 47.1 while Clark has an average of 40.5%. The difference is slightly bigger when it comes to the 3-point percentage. Curry has 42.2% while Clark has 32.9%.

The bottom line was that both are stars for their teams. Just as Stephen Curry continues to be a franchise guard for the Golden State Warriors, Clark holds the same position with the Indiana Fever. The 2-time WNBA All-Star was also the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA. So, pitching her up with Pritchard lessens her impact.

It’s why Pierce ended it by saying, “Her gravitational pull is on the same level as Steph’s in the WNBA.”

There was one thing Miller said that did get fans’ approval.

Reggie Miller called Caitlin Clark the no.1 Shooter in Indiana

“There’s a new shooter from Indiana. I’m the third-best shooter in the state of Indiana now. It goes Caitlin [Clark], Tyrese [Haliburton], then now myself,” he said.

But Clark was quick to respond with “that’s not true”. Laughingly saying that Haliburton may not agree with this ranking. However, Haliburton later compared Clark to Luka Dončić.

As Clark’s profile continues to grow, so will the debates surrounding her place in the game.

With that being said, who’d you compare Clark with? Let us know in the comments below!
