ESPN's original WNBA broadcast team will reunite for one night only.
"Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts and UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma will come together tonight to deliver a special broadcast of the New York Liberty taking on the Dallas Wings at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Roberts and Auriemma helped introduce the WNBA to a national audience on June 23, 1997, when they called ESPN's first-ever WNBA game between the Liberty and Los Angeles Sparks. Now, the pair will be joined by play-by-play commentator Beth Mowins and sideline reporter Holly Rowe in celebration of the WNBA's 30th season.
Here are key facts about ESPN's coverage plans for the special presentation:
