What's up? Welcome to Good Follow Show presented by DraftKings. I'm Roz Goldongwede and I am coming to you from our Los Angeles studios. And today we are joined by a very, very special guest near and dear to my heart. OK, she is one of the top voices in women's college basketball and is a host, reporter and analyst for all of women's basketball, including AFL. NCAA March Madness' digital content. She's a part of ION Studios' WNBA coverage and is even an NCAA tournament bracketologist. How cool is that? My little sis, Autumn Johnson, joins the show. What's up, sis? What's up, sis? Come on, intro. Yes. I mean, it's so impressive, all of the things that you are and how big and powerful your resume is because, you know, you...
I'm just so proud of you. Like you are the epitome of resilience, of hard work paying off, of conviction. And this is what I want to do. I want to be a broadcaster. And also at times building your own table, you know, to take a seat at. And, you know, I remember you early in your career, Autumn, just asking a whole bunch of questions, you know, looking for shadow opportunities. And so to see where you are now, I truly couldn't be prouder.
Oh my gosh. Thank you, sis. This means the world to me because this is the first time we've been able to work together. And you were one of the first people ever, one of my first mentors, one of the first people that I've been able to shadow. So to be able to have this moment with you, it's incredible. I always know I can hit you up whenever and call my big sis. So I just love it. I love it. I love sharing the space with you. Thank you, Roz. I'm excited to get into these topics today and talk some hoops.
Oh, you're the best. All the feels. I'm sending you a hug, girl.
I love this. I needed this.
Yes, me too. Oh, my gosh. And actually, with you on the show, there's no way to do a show with Autumn Johnson and not have it revolve around women's college basketball, which you have honestly become the face of in broadcasting. And so with that, we are going to do a high-level women's college basketball preview on Good Follow Show. I've seen it. is today's menu. So we will be previewing the biggest contenders, new look rosters, top players, and some sleeper teams that Autumn says we should watch out for. So Autumn, let's start right at the top, okay? All right. The reigning champs, UConn, AZ Fudd, Sarah Strong. They even brought in Sarah Williams from Wisconsin, a transfer. This is kind of like at the core of everything that they're doing.
Let's keep it simple here. Do you feel like UConn has what it takes to run it back?
Absolutely. I actually think UConn can take it all the way. They have a tough non-con schedule as well. I believe they could be undefeated this season. And yes, it is a new era. They are turning the page without Paige Beckers, who was the heartbeat of that championship team. And when you lose someone like that, yes, you're losing a lot of scoring, leadership. You talk about poise. Someone who always meets the moment, that's hard to replace. But I love the depth that the Huskies have. You just mentioned all those incredible names. They have size. They have skill. They have experience, depth, you name it. Headlined by Sarah Strong and AZ Fudd. I feel like they have the keys now. This is their team. We saw AZ Fudd be the tournament MOP, and she upped her three-point percentage.
Adding Sarah Strong, though, to me is the game changer because she didn't have the limelight in a sense at Wisconsin. They didn't have as much. Yes, Sarah Williams. Excuse me. Sarah Williams, she didn't have that limelight on her because of Wisconsin's lack of success. But coming over to UConn, I think it's the perfect success as I'm combining both their names with Sarah Strong. I think they're going to be incredible in that front court and Kaylee Heckle as well. We'll see how they look with their new identity and these new look pieces.
Yeah, actually, one way to think about it is Sarah Squared. I'll see myself out. I'll see myself out.
