All About Full Court Press

According to ESPN, Full Court Press is a show that "will immerse viewers in the world of elite women’s college basketball." Season one premiered in May of last year and featured Iowa star Caitlin Clark, UCLA guard Kiki Rice, and then South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso, who's now in the WNBA.

The series showed fans the inner workings of the stars' lives, including their hometowns, their brands, and of course, their college seasons. Full Court Press is produced by Peyton Manning, who seems to be looking forward to the upcoming season.

"There is no better time to be a fan of women's college basketball than right now," Manning said in a quote shared in ESPN's post.
