The WNBA offseason enters its second stage today. After 10 days of extending qualifying offers to retain the rights of their own free agents, teams are now allowed to negotiate with everyone. Contracts cannot officially be finalized until Feb. 1, but deals will be agreed upon before then, if not signed on the dotted line.

On the day when Kelsey Plum became the first UW women’s basketball player to have her jersey retired, the Huskies overwhelmed Purdue with a blistering offensive attack for an 87-58 win.

Kelsey Plum, who set the then-NCAA Division I individual scoring record (3,527 points) during her time with the Huskies, will have her No. 10 hung up to the rafters at Alaska Airlines Arena during UW's home game against Purdue University on Saturday.

A celebration of Kelsey Plum at Washington, followed by a decisive win by the current squad, showed fans why they should keep showing up.

The 2025 WNBA free agency negotiating window opens this week with a handful of star names and former MVPs leading the pack. The most movement is expected to come via trades, as the most notable names are likely to stay with their franchises and multiple players are set up for sign-and-trade deals.

The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on SNY. Fans looking to watch this women’s college basketball game can do so by using DirecTV Stream, which offers a free trial, or Hulu, which also offers a free trial, and options to bundle a subscription with Disney+ or Disney+ and MAX.

At Washington, Plum became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer with 3,527 points. The feat was broken by Martin's former teammate at Iowa, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark.
