Per your point, Chicago Coach Tyler Marsh: "(Allen) clearly got elbowed in the face right in front of the ref, and it wasn't called. Then other things ensued. It's unfortunate for us. Two players that play high-quality, high-valuable minutes for us." Bec Allen is hardly what I'd call a...

Similar to the Fever coming back against the Wings at the tail end of their game. That's such a challenge and a fine margin to keep going, going....miss.

And Roberts encouraged the three ball -- a lot -- when she coached Utah up to this year. So that reasoning holds.

Did you watch the game live or checking out the boxscore? I watched the first half and it was one of those "grab the ball, get downcourt and let it' rip" games. Plus, when it did settle into half-court sets, New York was packing that middle with Meeseman, JJ and Fiebich (boy, is she long)...

I get that these are organizational decisions (I'm aware of the levels in Washington) in the same way that Morgan Tuck in no way made this trade without input from President Rizzotti. And the strategy on Sykes makes all the sense in the world; in part because Sykes is a "rent-a'-player" for...

On the surface level, this is about two players taken relatively high in the first round (Sheldon, 5th and Edwards, 6th, who are coming off the bench for teams with losing records. Hence, the Mystics get a 40%+ shooter from three and a first-round draft choice for a forward who wasn't getting...

Southi: You and @jbc021592 are making me switch gears from my post-vacation re-entry to board life! ;) I ventured over to the Recruiting Update on the Bench (which I conveniently compile) and found this: "(Abii) Took an unofficial trip to ND during the Cal weekend Feb. 7-9, 2025." To the...

ND only offered her in June of this year, so mutual interest and timing might be good for the Irish. As noted, ND badly needs a mobile big to match up with Leah Macy going forward.

As expected, Minnesota stepped up as a whole against Seattle: Williams with a scorer's touch, as well an newbie Carrington. Jess Shepard (Shep) pulls off a double-double, which could be routine thing if she played those kinds of minutes all the time.

Seems like you're hedging your bets there. Perhaps a "While..." to start the sentence? ;) On the other, I have no reservations about Bjorn's ability to play at UConn and/or Iowa or Notre Dame (the latter two schools are also in the mix last I read.). She's going to be a huckuva wing for...

With two days left until the Trading Deadline, Richard Cohen of Her Hoops Stats gives his opinion on where each team stands (buyer, seller or ???), whom they should consider and what players could be targeted. As usual, a good cup-of-coffee read...

Posted this prior to my coastal getaway: I'd very much look into a new front office and would have some serious talks with Coach Hammon about how she'd run a different kind of team. She coached a team with a core at their individual and/or collective peak: What about a new, crew? Is she right...

Sun Rumored To Be Sold, Moved to Boston for 2027 Season Reported by ESPN (see link), this move would have to be approved by the WNBA Board of Governors (teams just can't move themselves). The potential buyer is a minority owner of the Celtics and he has agreed to spend an additional $100 million...

And, if I saw correctly, Diamond Miller didn't play -- coach's decision? Or was that an incorrect listing by the WNBA boxscore? In any case, I agree that no starters should've been in there....heck, Hammon took hers out before Minnesota did!

Gonna lean with @baggerbob a bit more here: As noted, the principals -- Emma M., Stewie and Jonquel -- have extensive experience with each other in Euro competitions at the highest levels. They know how to mesh together. In fact, one of the aspects I love most about Emma is her ability to be a...
