Karma is a beach (Arike makes WNBA history).....and Kia v. Arike

Speaking as a Texas homer, if Brooke McCarty-Williams were just a couple of inches taller, I think she could be a solid WNBA pg. Sadly for me, Brooke's Dallas career probably ends when either Skylar or MoJeff returns -- certainly if and when both return. But Brooke did play 19 minutes in yesterday's Dallas win and had 5 assists, zero turnovers.

I love McCarty's decision making and toughness. There has to be a place in this league for her. At a minimum, I am sure she has improved her international opportunities.

To be honest, I was at the preseason of the Liberty game where I saw Bianca Cuevas Moore and I think she was also one of those undersized lightning quick guards who if just a few inches taller, could break in.

Again, I see her able to handle international play.

Per ESPN:
--- Ogunbowale set the league futility mark for a player taking 20 or more shots, according to STATS. She surpassed the 3-for-20 effort by Sheryl Swoopes in 2002.

--- Ogunbowale also matched the record for most misses in a game that didn't go into overtime that was held by Wendy Palmer-Daniel in 1997.

--- Maya Moore missed 23 shots against Connecticut in an overtime game in 2015.

Maya... MAYA?

Maya... MAYA?

yes but she must have made 30. Right?

I was curious. Turns out she went 9-32 in that game (28.1%)

She had a good performance today. Y’all are so quick to hate on a rookie.

Has nothing to do with being a rookie. If you read some of the previous comments on this post (Carnac's in particular) you'll see that the dislike for Arike began while she played for Notre Dame.

So who is ONO's neice's mother?

I believe that would Dearica Hamby, but I'm not aware of the about referenced incident....

Yes, ONO's "niece's mother" aka ONO's sister-in-law....

Did Hamby get married?

 

[tchalla1]

Did Hamby get married?

I'm not sure. However, she is referenced in several articles including UConn Report as being ONO's sister-in-law...

 

[j66kicker]

Did Hamby get married?

Well I had no idea about this sister-in-law thing. So I had to look it up. Hamby is married to ONO’s brother, Alonzo Nelson-Ododa (presumably “ANO”).

I've always felt that making a circus shot 3 to win the National Championship in a game where she went 6-21 was "Peak Arike"

Winning Rookie of the Month in the same month that she had a 2-23 game is pretty close, though.
