Women's Basketball Milestones
Women's basketball in the United States has two stages that feed each other: the college game, where programs like Tennessee and UConn built national audiences, and the WNBA, which gave those players a professional league at home from 1997. This journey follows that path — a coach who built a program from almost nothing, a college streak nobody could break, the WNBA's first dynasty and the player who made one of its most famous plays.
Covers: NCAA women's basketball and the early WNBA. The final quiz focuses on the WNBA; the college stories are covered in the college classics quiz.
