The Wings vs. Aces game, which is a Notre Dame homecoming for Ogunbowale, will be televised on ION at 7 p.m. ET on Friday. It will become just the second WNBA preseason game ever to air on national television, following a 2019 exhibition between the New York Liberty and the China national team.

The defending champion UConn women's basketball team has had even more luck as the transfer portal works out in its favor.

Paige Bueckers raised the expectations and excitement level for the Dallas Wings and their fans many months before she was even drafted by the WNBA team.
