Seatle Minny game thread?

Lynx doing what you have to do against a tough, physical defensive team: be strong and aggressive with the ball; get to the line if that's what's available.

Whalen weak on the finish with that shot. Hopefully she will get accustomed to the wrist issue quickly.

Score is someone's ahead by 1, take your pick

 

[RadyLady]

oooo is that three on Bird?

 

[UConnChapette]

Maya is on FIYA!

 

[RadyLady]

oooo is that three on Bird?

nope..Little

 

[VAMike23]

"And then Maya.......she's the best player in the world...when you need points!"

 

[RadyLady]

OH MAYA!!! Left all alone just beyond the ARC for 3! She has 17 points in the first half, but Seattle answers with a 3 of their own

 

[VAMike23]

oooo is that three on Bird?

3 on Little

Only Rebecca notices Taj's kneepads........ lol

 

[RadyLady]

Lynx start strong in the 3rd, up a bunch of points

 

[VAMike23]

'Mone and Maya making shots, but nobody else really.....

Great defense by Maya there to get position and make Wauters think about that inside shot. Then Dev cleans up the rebound

 

[VAMike23]

Wiggins jumpin around like the Energizer bunny...

as is her wont.

 

[VAMike23]

That move by Seimone is NOT STOPPABLE

 

[VAMike23]

This game is going down to the wire

 

[VAMike23]

Brunson............!!!!

 

[UConnChapette]

Brunson playing tough under the basket. Two critical rebounds and baskets. It should be a good finish.

 

[VAMike23]

Let's go Lynx !!

And Birdie hits the 3 ....

 

[RadyLady]

Hard for me to say which team I would want to win...I like them both very much. This is a terrific game, and worthy of both teams. They are both winners to me.....sadly only one gets to move on

 

[VAMike23]

Bird again........!

 

[psconn]

My gosh Sue is awesome.

 

[VAMike23]

3.3 seconds to go.......

If there's contact will the refs swallow the whistle....?

 

[RadyLady]

yup...and seattle can win it on this play. I bet Sue Bird pulls it off

 

[VAMike23]

Minny wins by the skin of their teeth ...!!!

Will have to see the replay on Jackson's shot, OK here it is -- looked like Jackson faded away so not much if any contact. She just didn't hit it.

WHEW

 

[RadyLady]

WOW - and look at how crazy that crowd is....it is a great day for Women's Basketball

 

[alexrgct]

Is it just me, or was that an incredibly poorly managed timeout at the end by Seattle? Could have/should have taken it earlier, didn't seem like the play that was ultimately run was all that close to what was drawn up.
