Game started. Go Stewie Go Sue ...

Scoreboard: Women's Basketball Scores

 

[Kaizen]

8-5 Stewie has 6 pts

 

[j66kicker]

Washington has waked up. And Seattle has not gone to sleep. Looks like this will be an intense battle. 15-11 Seattle halfway thru Q1. Bird & Stewie are “on.”

 

[Mlb0814]

I love AC’s defense on Toliver.

 

[Kaizen]

18-11, Stewie has 11 pts

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Is this the game thread? I'm so confused! Next two minutes may mean the game. 21-14. Oops, 23-14. Time out.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I know Sue is hot right now, but I don't think mikeing players is a great idea.

I guess Yes .

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I guess Yes .

Okay. Washington obviously trying to shorten the game.

 

[Kaizen]

25 - 16 end of 1Q

 

[Mlb0814]

Seattle’s outrebounding 12-4 but the fouls on Bird are concerning.

 

[Kaizen]

Whitcomb has 3. She replaced Sue for 2 fouls.

 

[Kaizen]

WSH scored 2 quick buckets 31-26.
SEA has 6 TOs ..

 

[nwhoopfan]

Seattle was up as much as 12 but Delle Donne going to the FT line, can cut the lead to 1. Storm haven't scored in a while.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Did everybody catch Sue's "granny" sneakers? That's kinda funny.

 

[nwhoopfan]

2 offensive fouls on Stewie

last one was very suspect

 

[nwhoopfan]

Bird is ice cold since re-entering the game. Bricking 3's.

 

[BigBird]

It doesn’t help Seattle when Loyd starts launching her almost-mid-court quick shots. She needs to do what she can, not what she obviously cannot.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Mystics have had 4 chances to take the lead, finally did it.

Stewie started out red hot but she's cooled off, Loyd is invisible (1-4 FTs) and Bird isn't playing very well. Momentum is on the side of Washington, they are playing with more energy.

 

[Kaizen]

2 offensive fouls on Stewie

last one was very suspect

Another one on Clark is bad also ..

 

[nwhoopfan]

Delle Donne and Tolliver are both playing much better than game 1, not surprisingly resulting in a more closely contested game so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Another one on Clark is bad also ..

Yeah, inconsistent. Mystic player bulldozed a Storm defender and got a block call.

 

[Mlb0814]

It doesn’t help Seattle when Loyd starts launching her almost-mid-court quick shots. She needs to do what she can, not what she obviously cannot.

I agree. When she’s off she’s an asset in terms of passing and rebounding but when she’s off shooting, it doesn’t get better.
