Final Four Set, Playoff Picture Taking Shape & WNBA Shake-Up

The championship picture is starting to take shape across basketball.

On this episode of Shooting Lights Out, we break down everything happening across the college, NBA, and WNBA landscapes.

We start with major WNBA news as the Connecticut Sun are being sold and Houston is set to welcome back the legendary Houston Comets franchise.

Then we shift to college basketball as the Men’s Final Four is officially set, featuring Arizona, Michigan, UConn, and Illinois.

On the women’s side, two teams have already punched their ticket to the Final Four—UConn Huskies women's basketball and UCLA Bruins women's basketball—with the remaining spots to be decided between:

  • Texas vs Michigan
  • South Carolina vs TCU


We also take a look at the NBA playoff picture as postseason teams are set, but seeding is still up for grabs, and discuss who we trust—and who we don’t—as the playoffs approach.

Plus, a Flagrant Foul segment centered around Houston basketball and what’s going wrong at the worst possible time.
