Madeline and Charlotte could not be more thrilled to have ESPN's Elle Duncan on the show! Elle is the anchor of the 6 p.m. SportsCenter, co-host of her YouTube show and podcast “The Elle Duncan Show,” women’s college basketball host for ESPN’s College GameDay, and host of WNBA Countdown’s studio coverage throughout the WNBA season with Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter.

Elle just wrapped up a very busy women’s college basketball season and is heading into the WNBA season, so who better to talk about the draft and look ahead? Elle talks about why this year’s ratings can't be compared to last year’s and why there’s such exponential growth in women’s basketball. She tells Madeline and Charlotte whether anything in this year’s draft shocked her, why she loves Hailey Van Lith’s story, why she’s intrigued to see how Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale play together in Dallas, why the women’s college game seems more popular than the men’s these days, and why this year’s WNBA draft was “the social media draft.”

Elle also tells the gals what it felt like to start working in women’s sports, how welcoming the women’s basketball world has been, and why hockey fans are the most intense. She reveals her favorite sports gossip moment of all time (when Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria with his teammate’s wife). And, finally, the show ends with Elle’s signature vibe check, but she's the one who has to answer the questions!
