What are the key matchups in the Women's Final Four?
Hey, what's up, y'all? Welcome to Good Follow, presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Gold on Wooday, and that right there, that's my girl, Logan Hackett. Logan, how are you doing? I'm great. How are you? Girl, I'm so excited. There's so much happening in basketball. March Madness, it's now. We are in the April part of it. We are heading to the Final Four. I'm heading to Tampa. I'm so excited. You know I like warm weather.
Yes, absolutely. With you saying March Madness, actually last night falling asleep, Ryan Rucos, you bet, was just playing him. You bet, you bet.
Not you being haunted by the voice of Ryan Rucco. You're in your kitchen. You bet. Oh my God, where are you? Where are you, Ryan Rucco? I'm gonna tell him that. No, but what's up to all of you? I know everyone watching at home. We've got a great show for you. Let me take you through the rundown today. And then there were four. We are definitely breaking down the woman's final four.
Why is the transfer portal causing a stir in college basketball?
And you know, we've been talking about March Madness, but the madness is happening in the transfer portal, y'all. It is absolutely insane. So we are talking about that transfer portal and what's going on there. We also have an exclusive interview with Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie joins the show. And the interview is awesome. She talks about her relationship with Dawn Staley, the WNBA's negotiations of the CBA. We reflect on Unrivaled, all the things. I mean, we're even talking about taste testing oxtails, all the things. So really cool to catch up with one of the GOATs.
And y'all, as always, we love y'all so much.

Alrighty. Well, the final four is officially set and we have UConn, South Carolina, UCLA, and Texas.
How did UCLA and UConn perform in their Elite Eight games?
So I want to start with UCLA, who booked their first ever trip to the Final Four after a pretty crazy Elite Eight game against LSU. And props to Kim Mulkey because she had a game plan and she stuck to it by getting Lauren Betts in early foul trouble. And I think Lauren was out for, what, a quarter, a little bit more than that. And I don't think anyone expected the rest of the team to play around her and step up. Tamia Gardner had 15 points. Gabby Hawkins, 18 points with eight rebounds, shooting four of five from three. And they really proved themselves in this game. So Roz, how did you see UCLA perform without bets?
And what's your take on that? I was impressed by it because come March Madness, come the tournament, come, hey, we're one win away from the Final Four. You better believe that the scouting report is in, right? So what you need to advance are X factors. Players stepping up outside of themselves and putting on an incredible performance that the other team may not have counted for or maybe made a bet on, like, all right, we're going to take away this one. Let's see if they can beat me there. And that's exactly what happened with Tamia Gardner hitting five threes in the game. I mean, that's an X factor stepping up. Or Jaquez with the dagger three, a big shot, rebounds, just steals, working throughout the game to make things happen. And as somebody who's been a point guard in stressful, tough situations, you know, I'm looking at Kiki Rice, who did not have a good shooting game, but still had eight assists. That takes mental toughness to continue to just stay with it, stay with it.
And speaking of mental toughness, we're going to highlight the fact that Lauren Betts had foul trouble in the game. But what stood out to me is that despite having foul trouble through the first half of the game, she still was able to come in and make big impact. I mean, she had six blocks in the game. She still had 17 points. She made her presence known on both ends. It's really hard when you're sitting out for that long, especially early, not to get psyched out, not to get cold, or it's hard to find your way back into a rhythm of the game. And instead, she was able to stay with it. The sign of a really high level and high mental toughness type player.
