I’m sad she isn’t in law school.

 

[Argonaut]

Eckmark started law school at ASU in September of 2017, so she might have finished. ??

She could have finished one of the degrees in the school of law, but not the JD. She would be entering the final year of a JD this year. I thought I had read that was the path she was taking.

One less lawyer in the world?

and if she still has the itch, she can get back to it. Lawyers -> Judges can serve to 100.

From an article in Feb 2019:

Ekmark is in her second year of law school — following the path of both of her parents — and hopes to play professional basketball internationally if not in the WNBA.

"I think it would be cool to go overseas and live in a different country for a little bit and then come back," she said. "I told my parents that law school was just a backup plan. They looked at me like I was crazy. But I think having a law degree can help you in whatever you want to do."

Ekmark might be able to combine playing in Europe with a semester abroad as she completes her final year of law school, her father said.

Law school was a backup plan? Interesting. I'm a little suprised that Courtney will be able to play in Europe, but I'm happy for her.

Lou scored 15 points on 6 for 9 shooting. Lou was 3 for 4 on 2 point point shots and 3 for 5 on three pointers. She had 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist in 30 minutes.
Now the bad news. Her team lost 83 to 73.
Lou had 2 fouls at half time and in the 3rd quarter picked up fouls 3 and 4 in the first 3.30 of the 3rd quarter. She sat the rest of the third quarter but played the entire 4th quarter.
On to the next game.

Her team’s up to now leading scorer pulled an Arike and couldn’t find the basket, missing a dozen or more shots. Shame on me for that snide reference.

So BT is now BO. I'll have to make a mental note. It doesn't compute.

Sounds like a solid start for Lou. She needs to be on the floor more than she was in Chicago.

That's not hard.

 

[Dokey]

What Sky needs is another steady 15-20 shooter. Different players played that role this year but that affects the defensive strategy of opponents, meaning they don’t have to plan on a consistent second shooter. Maybe they needed to get into playoffs this year but next year means not standing still. Lou was that for four years at UConn and is showing that in France after a three point first game.

Anyone know if Chong has signed anywhere? She’s not playing for Beroe, where she played last year.

If anyone wants to watch the replay of Lous game on Sunday here is the link


Lou's team is in the dark uniforms.
Just my opinion, Lou's team played man nearly the entire game and Lou was covering an experienced 5'11 guard(#25) who was much quicker than her. I dont know why the coach had her guard that player. Lou also guarded another guard, #7 during parts of the game. Since the same player was guarding Lou, why didnt they post Lou up and use the 4" difference for paint shots. Lou could have easily guarded one of the post players, as they werent that tall or that strong, IMO. By the way, #25 was named POW for this week in France, and I believe played in Belgium last year on Lou's sisters team.

Anybody know if/where Moriah is playing?

i just saw this in the 3x3 thread about collier in regards to the national team college tour, re: january time-frame...

'but Collier won’t be joining them because she’s signed to play professionally for Fenerbache S.K. in Turkey.'

Yes, bench got more minutes in rout. Lou led scoring but was only 1/7 from three. Those 10 rebounds figure was third highest on team! After scoring only 3 points in first game, she has been in double figures every game.

Lous Team Flammes Carolo lost 66-59 on the road today.
Lou had 10 points 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
The flammes led at half 42-34 and came out as flat as possible in the 2nd half, scoring only 17 points.
With 7.48 left in the 4th quarter Lou had her leg rolled on(I think) and bruised her knee or shin. She finished the game but looked a bit hobbled the rest of the way.

Replay below

Yeah, the Flammes were heavily favored in this game but managed to blow it. Like rest of team, Lou did her scoring early and went cold at beginning of second half. Her defense looked good but in first half the Flammes were plagued with turn overs. She seemed in pain and slowed a bit but managed to score, something the Flammes forgot how to do. She took another bad fall going for an errant pass but played on. Team doesn’t pass well. They tend to get in pinned near basket.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lous team Flammes Carolo won their 2nd straight Euro Cup match 80-58. Strange that the team is 2-0 vs Euro Cup teams and 1-3 vs French League teams.

Note the stats link below is incomplete. FIBA must have had transmission problems with its last 3 games played Wednesday in Europe as all had incomplete scores in the 4th quarter.

With 8.36 left in the 4th quarter Lous team led 66-49. At that time Lou had 15 points and 4 rebounds. Hopefully full box score will be updated tomorrow.

I did notice this as well. Kinda frustrating. Good thing I have the website bookmarked.

Lou was 4 for 5 from the field including 3 for 3 on three pointers and 4 for 4 from the line. Getting decent minutes (23 out of 32 "so far") although oddly enough I don`t think she started. Kim Mestdagh of the Washington Mystics joined the team recently.

Lou should be taking at least 15 shots a game IMHO.

This is their first road win, and both Euro Cup wins have been blowouts. Good chance they will go undefeated in their bracket. All of their French League losses have been on the road.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Lou had 20 points with 3 minutes left in the game, per a Mother Jones tweet of info she found

 

[Dokey]

Yes, she also had two steals and was tied for leading scorer, 12 of her points came in second quarter when the Flammes took charge led by Lou. No one on team takes a lot of shots, Lou’s only miss was her lone shot in 1st q.
