Zena and Ben kick things off by diving into college women’s hoops — breaking down the standout performances from Week One, the nail-biting finishes, and just how deep some of these teams really are. From there, they shift gears to golf, exploring how WNBA players like Caitlin Clark are getting into the sport. The Athletic’s golf writer, Gabby Herzig, joins the conversation to discuss the growing appeal of golf among athletes and the shared mental challenges between the two sports.

Plus, Set Your Screens is back — we’ve got your guide to the must-watch games of the week.
