Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3969407, member: 5798"] [HEADING=3]Two UConn super-teams out west[/HEADING] This offseason, two of the league’s most recognizable teams in the Western Conference began an arms race of sorts. Both the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm made substantial moves to acquire former UConn stars. The Mercury added Kia Nurse and Megan Walker to a roster that already included Diana Taurasi and Bria Hartley while the Storm traded the No. 1 pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft for Katie Lou Samuelson, who joins Bird and [B]Breanna[/B] [B]Stewart[/B] in the Pacific Northwest. Nearly half the Huskies in the W are on these two teams. No other franchise has more than two. The Storm and Mercury face-off on July 9 and 11 as well as in the regular season finale on Sep. 17.
