On today’s episode of The Hoops Cap, Co-Host's Mark Zanetto and Tee Baker dive into the emotional and cultural impact of JuJu Watkins’ heartbreaking ACL injury and what it means for the future of women’s college basketball, especially in comparison to Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark. We preview UConn’s Sweet 16 showdown with Oklahoma, a dominant rebounding team and home to Raegan Beers, who famously chose OU over the Huskies. Can UConn’s frontcourt hold up? And in our final segment, we break down UConn’s evolving roster strategy as Geno pivots toward size, with portal targets like Serah Williams and international standouts Gandy Malou Mamel and Blanca Quiñonez. The Huskies are going big, and the women’s game might be shifting. Part of the Big East Energy Podcast Collective.
