Indiana Fever lose to Dallas Wings in a Thrilling Season Opener (107 – 104)

May 9, 2026

The Indiana Fever dropped a heart-breaker in their season opener, falling 107–104 to the Dallas Wings in a game defined by relentless back-and-forth action. The contest was a statistical dead heat for much of the night, featuring 12 lead changes and 8 ties, with neither team able to carve out a double-digit advantage.

While the half-court battle remained even, Dallas found their edge in transition. The Wings dominated the fast-break points category, outscoring the Fever 25–12. This ability to push the pace allowed Dallas to capitalize on Indiana’s defensive rotations and keep the pressure on the Fever’s backcourt.

Kelsey Mitchell put on a masterclass for Indiana, leading all scorers with a blistering 30 points. She was supported by Aliyah Boston, who anchored the interior with 23 points. Caitlin Clark finished with a quiet but efficient stat line of 20 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, facilitating the offense through heavy defensive pressure.

For the Wings, Arike Ogunbowale proved once again why she is one of the league’s premier finishers. Ogunbowale led Dallas with 22 points, including a clutch, go-ahead step-back three-pointer in the final seconds that effectively sealed the game. Paige Bueckers debuted with a strong 20-point performance, while former Fever guard Odyssey Sims haunted her old team with 20 points of her own.

The Fever had opportunities to force overtime in the closing seconds. Both Mitchell and Clark had looks from beyond the arc to tie the game, but their attempts failed to find the mark.

Game highlights;

Indiana will look to bounce back as they travel to Los Angeles for a Wednesday night matchup. Meanwhile, the Wings remain at home to host the Atlanta Dream this Wednesday evening.

Here’s the full result of the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery, Dallas Wings wins First Overall Pick

November 24, 2025

The Dallas Wings won the 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery and will have the first overall pick. This will be the second consecutive year that the Wings will take the top pick, in 2025, they took UConn star PG Paige Bueckers.

🏀 2026 WNBA Draft Lottery Results (Top 5)

Pick Team
1 Dallas Wings Won the lottery for the second consecutive year.
2 Minnesota Lynx Pick acquired via trade with the Chicago Sky.
3 Seattle Storm Pick acquired via trade with the Los Angeles Sparks.
4 Washington Mystics
5 Chicago Sky Pick acquired via a swap right with the Connecticut Sun.

The two expansion teams, the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire, will select 6th and 7th, respectively.

The 2026 WNBA Draft class is considered to be very deep and lacks a single, clear-cut consensus No. 1 prospect right now. However, two players are most frequently listed as the top contenders for the Dallas Wings’ pick:

  1. Lauren Betts (Center, UCLA);
  • Her case for No. 1: The 6’7″ center is a dominant presence in the paint, known for her scoring ability, rebounding, and shot-blocking.
  • Fit with Wings: Dallas has a guard-heavy roster (including 2025 No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers) and desperately needs a player with Betts’ size and interior skills to balance the team.
  1. Azzi Fudd (Guard, UConn);
  • Case for No. 1: A highly talented 5’11” shooting guard with elite offensive upside and one of the cleanest jump shots in the college game. Her scoring ability translates very well to the WNBA.
  • Fit with Wings: Fudd was a college teammate (and is a “close” friend) of current Wings star Paige Bueckers. The potential to reunite the two for a dynamic backcourt is a huge factor the Wings’ new front office will consider.

Other Top Prospects
While Betts and Fudd are the favorites, other collegiate and international stars are also considered potential top-five picks:

  • Olivia Miles (Guard, TCU)
  • Flau’jae Johnson (Guard, LSU)
  • Awa Fam (Center/Forward, Spain)

Since Dallas already has their cornerstone guard in Paige Bueckers, many analysts project them to lean toward Lauren Betts to fill their biggest need for size and an interior anchor.

Paige Bueckers and UConn routs South Carolina for 12th National Title (82 – 59)

April 7, 2025

UConn’s “Big Three” was simply too much for South Carolina. The trio scored 65 of UConn’s 82 points. Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd each scored 24 points, while Paige Bueckers added 17. Strong also grabbed 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks. By the end of the third quarter, UConn had built a 20-point lead, which grew to a 32-point lead with just 4 mins and 20 seconds in the game.

This will be Coach Geno Auriemma’s 12 NCAA championship, the most in the history of the league.

What’s next for UConn?

  • Paige Bueckers will be going Pro and projected to be the No. 1 pick for this year’s WNBA Draft.
  • Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd will return to college next season, making UConn still a contender season.
  • UConn HC Geno Auriemma will
