Ball goes up in tonight’s WNBA finals
The WNBA finals begin tonight in Arizona as the fast-paced Phoenix Mercury tries to wear down the tough defense of the Indiana Fever. ESPN.com reporter Mechelle Voepel joins us from Phoenix, the site of the finals’ first game.
Bonus: Takeaway listener and women’s hoops superfan Helen Wheelock complained we haven’t covered the WNBA enough ? so we invited her on the program to make her case.
