Huskies in the EuroLeague Women Modern Heroes Comp

[Trappa]

I saw this on Twitter the other day: the EuroLeague Women is having a "Modern Heroes" bracket showdown, featuring some of our former stars!

Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird (and Penny Taylor, does she count as an honorary UConn-er? lol) have made it through the first round. Diana and Penny both made it through the second round and are matched up against each other in the Elite Eight (lol); Sue faces off against Candace Parker in the next group of voting. Head to their Twitter or Instagram if you want to vote -- there's only one match up a day, it appears, so I believe Bird vs. Parker is up next tomorrow. @euroleaguewomen

Lol, I just checked and it's actually pretty close, so you do never know.
