Fever Star Joins Iowa Basketball Broadcasts with New NBC Deal

Title: Aliyah Boston to Join NBC Sports as Big Ten Basketball Analyst, Strengthening Dual Career

As the Indiana Fever, No. 6 seed, geared up for the pivotal Game 5 of the 2025 WNBA semifinals against the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces at Michelob ULTRA Arena, one of their standout players, Aliyah Boston, announced a significant career development. Boston, a former South Carolina Gamecock and 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year, has sealed a deal to become a studio analyst for NBC Sports and Peacock’s Big Ten college basketball coverage this fall and winter.

Aliyah Boston’s Expanded Role with NBC Sports

According to a report from Front Office Sports on September 29, Boston will reprise her role with NBC Sports and Peacock, potentially serving as a game analyst in addition to her studio duties. Her broadcasting career commenced with Peacock’s coverage of Big Ten women’s college basketball in the 2023-2024 season. This marks a continuation of her dual career path, akin to athletes like Greg Olsen, Chiney Ogwumike, and Draymond Green, who successfully balance professional sports with broadcasting.

Connect with Iowa Fans: Memories of the 2023 Final Four

While it remains unclear if Boston will focus only on men’s college basketball, Iowa fans are well acquainted with her achievements. Boston played a key role in supporting Caitlin Clark’s Rookie of the Year season with the Fever and faced off against the Hawkeyes during the 2023 Final Four. In that memorable game, Caitlin Clark’s stellar performance, scoring 41 points, powered Iowa past Boston’s South Carolina team to the national championship game with a 77-73 victory, handing the Gamecocks their sole loss of the season.
