This week on Hoops Across the Pond, Gracie sits down with German international and TCU guard Clara Bielefeld.

Fresh off representing Germany at a home FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, Clara reflects on the experience, her journey from playing basketball for fun to competing on the international stage and finding her feet thousands of miles from home in Texas.

We also talk about TCU's new-look roster, the growing international presence in college basketball, her hopes for the season and what life is really like as a student-athlete in America.

And, of course, we get to know the person behind the jersey. From sad pre-game playlists and competitive family game nights to German Christmas markets and her very strong opinions on American bread, Clara takes on questions from our Hoops Across the Pond community.

A conversation about basketball, belonging, growing up and all the little things in between.

The WNBA Finals are bringing the basketball, the drama and plenty of opinions - and we've got a lot to say.

We're looking beyond the court as women's sports continue to take over bigger stages. From Atlanta playing at State Farm Arena to Arsenal and PSG's stadium conversations, we discuss what these moves mean for the future of women's sports.

Additionally, we're getting into the conversation surrounding Gabby Williams, the expectations placed on female athletes and whether fans, creators and the media are allowing unnecessary drama to overshadow the basketball itself.

Plus, we've added some bonus reactions to Games 5 and 6!

Bigger crowds, bigger platforms and bigger conversations. But is the coverage growing in the right direction?

The WNBA may be across the pond, but the obsession is very much alive over here.
