Just read this article on the midway point (!) of the WNBL in Australia.
The author goes though all the teams and you'll be able to see what former collegiate stars and or WNBA players are on what squads this season
I've linked the full article and cut and pasted to show how teams containing a certain UConn alum and two "Domers" are doing. (
Blue for UConn, Green for ND, Red for all others of note)

UC Capitals 5-2
The Caps are back on track. 2-0 quickly became 2-2 after a horror Round 3 where the Caps were smacked by the Boomers and humbled by Sydney. A steadying win over the Flames came in Round 4 before a trip to Victoria netted an upset-win over the previously unbeaten Flyers and an emphatic response against Melbourne.
The triple K’s –
Kia Nurse, Kelsey Griffin and Keely Froling – have been integral. Marianna Tolo is coming into solid form and Olivia Epoupa is slowly but surely settling into her playmaking role.
Melbourne Boomers 4-2
This experienced group thumbed its nose at critics who predicted their tumble down the ladder in #WNBL20 with a strong 4-0 start.
Cayla George is enjoying career-best WNBL form and looks to be relishing the Co-Captaincy. Hard to believe
Lindsay Allen is coming off no pre-season; she’s already matching the numbers she produced in #WNBL19 and fellow import
Sophie Cunningham has had a good couple of weeks, impressing coach Guy Molloy.
The Boomers lacked some spark in their first loss, to Southside, then couldn’t fight off a determined Capitals. A tough Round 6 with away games against Adelaide and Bendigo will reveal plenty.
Adelaide Lightning 4-2
The Lightning’s 4 wins have showed the league their good is seriously good. Adelaide’s thrashing of Bendigo last start and overtime victory over the Lynx in Perth said plenty about last season’s runner-up.
Brianna Turner leads the early MVP race off the back of her dominant displays,
Steph Talbot is revitalised and enjoying her basketball on return to her home state and it shows.
Nicole Seekamp continues to blossom as a leader and display why she’s one of the best guards in the country. Setbacks, Adelaide’s had a few.
Crystal Langhorne (knee) has returned to the US and the Lightning has been without 4x Olympian Laura Hodges so far, but she will return from a calf strain after the bye.
