February 20, 2026   |   Read Online February 20, 2026 | LITE Edition: #196 Hey, Hoophead! It was a classic sweet-and-sour day in women's basketball. On the sweet side, Rickea Jackson was back on the court for the first time since reports surfaced that her boyfriend allegedly rammed his car into hers. Even sweeter, the WNBA is landing a massive platform. But before we get to the good news, let's start with the heat. One intense moment from the night once again put Kim Mulkey's freshman and her on-court aggression under the spotlight. Mulkey Won't Revisit Freshman's Controversial Technical Issued for Taunting Grace Knox's fiery edge has been under scrutiny before, but this time it sparked such anger from the opposing coach that staff had to step in and hold her back. Here's what happened.

So, Do You Believe Kim Mulkey Needs to Manage Her Freshman's On-Court Intensity? Yes No Share Your Thoughts Thursday's Poll Result: Over 80% of you think Flau'jae Johnson's mom crossed the line this time.     Tennessee was the only Top 25 team to stumble on a packed slate. And Kim Caldwell didn't have "anything to say." While the LSU–Ole Miss matchup grabbed headlines, North Carolina vs. Virginia Tech quietly delivered one of the best games of the night. The clash went to overtime and featured 11 lead changes and five ties before UNC finally pulled away with the win. Oklahoma saw Aaliyah Chavez put together another statement performance. The freshman finished with 27 points, five assists, and four rebounds, strengthening her case for Freshman of the Year. For Texas and South Carolina, it was mostly business as usual. The Gamecocks handled their work, but there was a brief moment of concern as a sick Raven Johnson headed to the locker room. These are the moments we live for! Imagine being a star. On the verge of becoming one of your school's legends. Senior night. Your home court. One last chance to take the floor in front of your people. And then… injury takes it away. That was the reality Chloe Crawford had to face. Until sportsmanship stepped in. Before tipoff, Southeast Raleigh and South Garner reached a special agreement to honor the North Carolina Central commit. Crawford, still limping, stood directly under the basket and was allowed to score an uncontested layup before the game officially began. This was a beautiful moment! And if that wasn't cool enough, the Bulldogs were then given a free layup on the other end. Truly, that's bigger than basketball! Thank you for reading She Got Game.
