Whalen hurt.... left wrist...

Minny up 22-14 at the end of 1

 

[UConnChapette]

Whalen is a tough player. I suspect she will get back in the game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya has 10 points, 3 boards, and 1 steal in 10 minutes. Magnifico!

 

[UConnChapette]

Ruh-roh....Lindsay Whalen going in for Xrays on the wrist.

 

[UConnChapette]

Maya has 10 points, 3 boards, and 1 steal in 10 minutes. Magnifico!

That's "our" Maya!

Whalen is a tough player. I suspect she will get back in the game.

SHe's getting an xray now.

 

[RadyLady]

Seattle closed the gap to 4 points

 

[UConnChapette]

Storm coming back with Whalen out.

 

[VAMike23]

Taj has not been herself the last week or two - just missed another little chippie inside, and now misses another short jumper. Also missed a 20-footer moments ago. Missed a rebound that came right to her. I think even with the Olympic break, the season may finally be taking its toll on her "experienced" bones...!

She has had multiple, *phenomenal*, game-winning moments for this team this season. I still hope she can dig deep and produce a few more good ones tonight.

Storm coming back with Whalen out.

Going to be tough to handle ball pressure out top without Whalen. She is the master at breaking down the D and splitting the lane.

I have Faith in Taj - she did take a good fall at the end of the last game, she may not be 100%

They may need a monster game from her tonight to get the win....... we shall see

 

[VAMike23]

I had a feeling we might see Thorn....

 

[RadyLady]

21-22 Minny, no score at all in the second quarter.

I think you're right and I think it's her back. Taj just attempted an athletic move in trying to steal a pass intended for Jackson, so it's not her legs so much... then Wiggins threw a pass her way that was a little low, and Taj almost let it go right by, pretty much not bending at the waist *at all* to get the pass.....

 

[VAMike23]

Here comes Whalen back to the court....! I can't imagine the 'hockey player' will be sitting on the bench the rest of the game

 

[RadyLady]

Augustus steal, Minny cannot convert

 

[RadyLady]

Camille Little has the hot hand for Seattle, They now lead 26-25, Whelan coming back in

 

[VAMike23]

Maya consciously putting a little more arc on her 3-ball tonight, IMO

 

[VAMike23]

Definitely a higher arcing FT as well, slight but noticeable

 

[RadyLady]

Man, games gonna see-saw

 

[RadyLady]

Tina Thompson coming in for the Storm
