Hate to say it but this will be a sweep.

 

[Zorro]

Shore looks like it.

Every time I see Griner play I am more shocked that Baylor won one NC with her. And I'm not even going to mention that they also had Sims.

. Too much Maya Moore in 2010, running into A&M for the fourth time in 2011, and possibly the most mind-boggling game ever against Louisville in 2013.

You guys are awesome, thanks so much for this! I was able to peek at the thread on my phone from time to time, but got caught and the hairy eyeball so I had to stop. I literally just got in. I expected a rout and apparently that's what happened. D is dialed in, Griner continued to improve, Dupree is awesome (she should make the World team IMO) and sadly EDD is not healthy. I will watch the replay, but now I have to go look at the US Open to see if Serena is done.

Sky looks totally bumfuzzled.

Great word

Sky looks totally bumfuzzled.

Not sure they look that good...

 

[OneTrickPony]

If BG can maintain her mental composure, she will be a monster for the US team...

 

[Zorro]

I am guessing that DT has been a great influence and model for her.

 

[RadyLady]

Watching the game now, I recorded it so I can fast forward through the breaks. even though they need time outs, I certainly don't.

 

[RadyLady]

I am guessing that DT has been a great influence and model for her.

It has been said in multiple articles that Diana has had some talks with her...encouragement and so on. It has paid off, plus Griner isn't a rookie anymore, and is more familiar with the lay of the land.

 

[RadyLady]

It IS like watching a UConn game....I love it!

 

[RadyLady]

I'm almost at the very end of the first half...and it SOUNDS like a UConn game...and Dee - WOW

 

[RadyLady]

Wow - on the replay of Griner fouling Fowles, you could tell exactly how she felt about the call...she's gotta be careful about that to not get T'ed up

 

[RadyLady]

whoa...stupid foul by Grinder at the end of the 3rd. It's her fourth, not a worry in this game with such a gap in the score , but something to think about going forward

 

[RadyLady]

and Game 2 is Tuesday, and I am going to miss that one, too.

RATS!

 

[RadyLady]

WOW - Diana just RIPPED that ball out of Big Syl's hands....

 

[RadyLady]

Hate to say it but this will be a sweep.

I agree. Actually, I think that it will be a clinic

 

[calpedaler]

I agree. Actually, I think that it will be a clinic

The Sky need EDD at her best to make it interesting.

The Sky need EDD at her best to make it interesting.

agreed, but between you and me and the rest of this board...I think that ship has sailed. I feel really badly for her. It's just not fair.
