After Team Collier's record-breaking 151-131 win, the team broke down their final huddle by giving themselves a new name: Team Hangover.
With basketball fans' eyes on the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis, Team Collier beat the odds to defeat Team Clark.
To be clear, Team Collier didn't exactly defy odds by overcoming any mismatches or a lopsided point spread, but instead, the group overcame the aftereffects of enjoying the Indianapolis nightlife.

Thanks in large part to the StudBudz Twitch stream, fans got a firsthand look at what Team Collier was up to on Friday. It helps that one half of the StudBudz is Lynx guard Courtney Williams, who made her All-Star debut for Team Collier in 2025.
Rewind to Friday night, and a few of Team Collier's members were shown having a time on the stream.
From Kelsey Plum's apparent affinity for Crown Royal to Alyssa Thomas' incredible reaction to Williams' lemon drop order, Team Collier was a major winner throughout Friday's festivities.
It didn't stop there, as rookie Paige Bueckers joined Williams for an inspired duet to sing Keyshia Cole's "Love."
