Women’s basketball is having a moment, but the rise of the game has been decades in the making. In this episode of Hysteria, host Julie Roe Lach (Executive Vice President External Relations and Community Engagement Pacers Sports & Entertainment) traces the journey from pioneers like Cheryl Miller who played with little national attention to today’s sold-out arenas and record-breaking audiences. Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings reflects on leading the Indiana Fever to the 2012 WNBA championship and watching the game evolve, while Lynn Holzman (Vice President for Women’s Basketball at NCAA) and Hall of Famer Debbie Antonelli (ESPN/CBS/Raycom/Westwood BasketballAnalyst) share how increased exposure, media investment, and unforgettable players like the Fever’s Caitlin Clark have pushed women’s basketball to new heights. The talent has always been there. Now the world is finally watching. Host: Kavitha A.
