Did Samuelson get to play? Per Box score she played 0 minutes. So they only went 7 deep. Wow

ESPN's box score has Karlie with 0 minutes, but a +/- of -2. Must have gone in for a fraction of a minute with no stats.

Nobody gonna point out Ogunbowale's 3-13 shooting? She did have 7 assists though.

edit--Mabrey with the better game between the 2 ND rookies this time around

and LA continues to play better w/out Candace it appears

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez, just occurred to me that when Las Vegas plays at Seattle on Friday, it will be the first time Plum has played at Hec Ed since March 2017. Maybe she'll rediscover her shooting touch on a floor she knows very well.

I rewatched the Sparks-Wings game, and aside from LA's impressive comeback from 16 down in 2Q to win the game, I have to say I am impressed with both of LA's rookies, Brown and Mabrey. Both of them are regulars in the rotation and contributing meaningfully in their limited minutes. Mabrey, as a 2nd round draft pick (#19 overall) and the last picked of the Notre Dame starters, looks comfortable and confident out there, and the biggest surprise for me is that she's also doing some good things on defense. In this particular game, she hit a few big buckets late in 2Q to close the deficit from 16 to about 10.

I caught most of the game, as well, and thought it was Mabrey's best overall performance of the season, playing a nick under 26 minutes and being kept in during crunch time. The time she spent as "lead guard" at Notre Dame has helped her thus far in that she can do a number of things for Coach Fisher, which comes in handy, given the lack of depth. While primarily an off-guard, she brought the ball up a number of times when Chelsea Gray was spelled. Liked the low-key way Fisher would call her over on a few occasions to coach her up and give some instructions/pointers.

And Brown looks comfortable and calm when she gets the ball down low. The O sisters were giving good feedback to her during the game.

Interesting article about Plum from the Seattle Times as she returns to her second home, chronicling some of her struggles in the W.

EDD is back for the Mystics and scored 28 today as they beat Indiana 95-88. I caught just a few minutes, the commentator said that if Dupree stays right at her average of 12 points/game, she will catch Katie Smith for #5 on the all time scoring list in their regular season finale.

EDD made quite a few clutch shots down the stretch playing with the Sue Bird Face mask. Very impressive. 28 Pts, 15 rbs 4 BS and 0 TO's. MVP push likely.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Huh. No Elise Woodward on the local broadcast of the Storm game tonight, instead UW coach Jody Wynn is on the mic.

 

[nwhoopfan]

MVP push likely.

I'd be fine with that. She's definitely established herself as one of the elite players in the league.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Any word on KML? She left the game with some sort of injury

Sounds like a minor knee injury. Not playing tonight, but she expects to be back soon.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Whoa. Loyd was listed as questionable for the game, she just checked in w/ about 2 minutes left in Q1. Storm are all over the Aces 19-9.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well, it's nice Loyd is able to play, but they need to get Whitcomb back on the court. A 19-6 lead is down to 24-19. She was 3-3 behind the arc and was bringing a ton of energy and hustle.

edit--well I called that, she came back in after a time out and immediately nailed another 3

 

[nwhoopfan]

LV tied it at 27, now Seattle is back up 10 41-31 approaching halftime.

During a 3 game losing streak Seattle couldn't buy a 3. The last 3+ games they can't miss. 8-14 so far today. I'm not sure when that happened but this year Clark has been almost automatic. Currently leading the league at 49%.

 

[nwhoopfan]

43-35 at halftime. Dejounte Murray is in the house. I'm pretty sure Chantel Osahor is sitting directly behind the Aces bench. Commentator says there are 8,000+ in the building (capacity 10,000), good crowd.

(Are we still using this thread to discuss the Howard DV case?)

The plot thickens:

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh oh. Wilson is down for the Aces.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jeez, now Howard limped off the floor (probably just a cramp).

Seattle has 15 steals thru 3 quarters. What a bunch of thieves.


edit--Swords might've just got a desperation 3 point heave at the buzzer to cut it to 55-52. Q3 was pretty ugly for both teams.

Never mind, shot was late.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Q4 has been a battle of good defense and inept offense. This one has turned into a stinker. Seattle clinging to a 4 point lead w/ 1:20 left.

Im sure Howard will fight through that injury

 

[nwhoopfan]

Im sure Howard will fight through that injury

I see what ya did there.

 

[nwhoopfan]

69-66 Seattle wins. I'm not sure how often you can win a game shooting under 30%, but they just did it. 20-20 from the FT line helped. The 18 steals played a factor as well, 21 total TOs for LV.

Will the Storm be back in Key next season.?
