Deborah Stroman joins 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell over the phone on Friday, Apr. 3 from Phoenix ahead of the women’s basketball NCAA Tournament’s Final Four tipping off. Stroman shares what the atmosphere is like and what it’s like to be an environment so celebratory of women’s hoops. Then, the pair preview the matchups of South Carolina-UConn and Texas-UCLA — a repeat of last season’s Final Four. Is that kind of repeat a good thing for the sport, and how do those programs find the consistency to set themselves apart? Who does Debby say are players to watch and the favorite to win it all?

Dr. Deborah Stroman — who is a consulting professor for UNC and Virginia, sports businesswoman, former basketball player, and columnist — chats with 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell each week about headlines from the world of sports. Covering both local and national stories, Stroman specializes in connecting the on-field product to the impact of sports on business, culture and society. Listen to their past conversations on Chapelboro, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
