The New York Liberty fired head coach Chris DiMarco on Tuesday, less than one year after he was hired.

Third, Vanderbilt.

What I'm saying here is that it's more than Mikayla Blakes.
MalHOST
Yes, Mikayla Blakes had 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists.
MalHOST
She's an amazing player.
MalHOST
There's no doubt about it.
MalHOST
But today, what I wanted to talk about more so than that is the other players around Mikayla Blakes.
MalHOST
Aubrey Galvin, 16 points, 11 assists, 0 assists.
MalHOST
Turnovers.
TreyHOST
Like, she's going to need help.
TreyHOST
So who's going to step up and help out Mikayla Blakes this season? Also, does Mikayla Blakes need to scale back her scoring a little bit to allow these other players – to get a bucket a little bit more.
TreyHOST
I'll be curious what ultimately happens with that.
TreyHOST
But again, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt are in a similar breath.
Tacarra BarnesHOST
It was rough.
Tacarra BarnesHOST
But Mikayla Blakes was as advertised yesterday.
Tacarra BarnesHOST
She almost had a triple-double.
Courtney LumpkinHOST
I
Sophia JonesHOST
I mean, everyone has their own philosophies at this point.
Sophia JonesHOST
[laughs] But for Vanderbilt, they were, of course, led by Mikayla Blakes, who, listen to this stat line.
Sophia JonesHOST
Mikayla Blakes finished with 23 points, also added in five rebounds, five assists, and two steals.
Sophia JonesHOST
She-- I am looking at the wrong box score.
Sophia JonesHOST
This is from 2024.
Sophia JonesHOST
She had 27 points, nine rebounds, and 11 assists.
Sophia JonesHOST
Now, going into the season, Mikayla mentioned that during the SEC media day that she would have a bit of a different role with this group this year, and this role is just looking like doing everything, which I felt like it was that similar role in years before.
Sophia JonesHOST
But now, especially with this stat line, it is really looking like we're just gonna get a lot of Mikayla Blakes in this year, which you love to see.
Tim FletcherHOST
I think Lipscomb's in Nashville.
Tim FletcherHOST
Mikayla Blakes, golly, geez, how long has she been at Vanderbilt, Rog? Wasn't she the player of the year last year? She's really stinking good.
Tim FletcherHOST
27.6 assists, 9 rebounds for the Doors.

Ole Miss, ranked 19th in the land, had no difficulty with Alcorn with an 80-38 win.
Chantel JenningsHOST
Your first team All-America group was Juju Watkins, Madison Booker, Hannah Hidalgo, Sarah Strong, and Joyce Edwards.
Chantel JenningsHOST
Mine was Sarah Strong, Hannah Hidalgo, Joyce Edwards, Juju Watkins, and Mikayla Blakes.
Chantel JenningsHOST
I don't know if you put yours one through five in terms of your votes or if that was just a grouping.
Chantel JenningsHOST
Mine is one through five in terms of.
Sam FedermanHOST
What do you think they need to take the next step?
Elena MorrisGUEST
Yeah, I mean, Mikayla Blakes, if you just watched her last year, she averaged 30 in the SEC.
Elena MorrisGUEST
You really can't ask her to do much more.
Elena MorrisGUEST
I think that the progression of Aubrey Galvin will be interesting because going into the year, I knew that she would be good watching her play, but I don't think anybody expected her to be as good as she was as a freshman.
Justin KalenHOST
I'm helping you avoid heartbreak right now.
Justin KalenHOST
Mikayla Blakes is going to win.
Michael BennettHOST
She's incredible.
Michael BennettHOST
Would you say that in front of Kenny Brooks if he was on the show
Justin KalenHOST
that.
Justin KalenHOST
It would probably motivate him to get Asia a little bit better.
Justin KalenHOST
I mean, Asia's great already, but Mikayla Blakes is another level.
Justin KalenHOST
She's awesome.
Sophia JonesHOST
I mean, they coined the term All-American essentially.
Sophia JonesHOST
And for the women's college basketball crowd, we have, again, I think this is a pretty cut and dry list, but we're going to go with Sarah Strong, Hannah Hidalgo, Madison Booker, mikayla blakes and juju watkins i don't know how you can argue too much with that list right there and starting with a player like sarah strong she is the reigning ap player of the year so already kind of has that one in the bag she received 30 of 31 votes to end up on this team so very impressive and sarah strong has just looks so incredible even in these couple exhibition games to start out the season she is be looking very confident shooting the three a lot more she looks very lean and strong and explosive kind of very leaning into that athleticism as well and she looks really ready to take an incredible leap this season and i'm excited to watch it And head coach of UConn, Gino Ariema, said that she was national player of the year.
Sophia JonesHOST
You know, it's pretty hard to get that much better, but it's not that hard to get better at some things that she wants to get better at.
Sophia JonesHOST
And I think that we'll see it is a much more aggressive Sarah, much more intentional and much more understanding.
Sophia JonesHOST
And this is not a surprise to me either.
Sophia JonesHOST
You look at the fact that last year she was on second team, which I'll get into this really quickly.
Sophia JonesHOST
First team All-American last season was Sarah Strong, Mikayla Blakes, Lauren Betts, Madison Booker, and AZ Fudd.
Sophia JonesHOST
