Voepel delivers her after-action report on this year's pro season:

"It struck me during these Finals – perhaps more than ever before – how much I enjoy covering the professional game. The players are not just better-skilled and more experienced, they are also – for the most part – real grown-ups...

"None of this means that covering college is any less enjoyable … to the contrary, it’s more so because I know the best of the people I get to follow in school are going to continue with their basketball journeys. But I sometimes feel this need to 'stick up' for the WNBA in the very community of people who should be most supportive."
