Also know as the WNBA All Star Game.

More WNBA history for UConn

"The seven former Huskies scheduled to play in Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game are the most from one school in the game's history topping the previous mark of six (also by UConn) in 2011. Tina Charles and Tiffany Hayes will start for the East with Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi set to start for the West. Stefanie Dolson is a reserve for the East and Breanna Stewart is a reserve for the West. Seven times in WNBA history four players from the same school have been selected to play in the WNBA All-Star Game and on six of those occasions, UConn was the program to pull off this remarkable achievement. USC is the only team to join UConn in this select company although only two of the four All-Stars from USC played in the 2003 event."

And there is more if you care to check.

Thanks for posting this. I see Charde Houston made an All-Star team. Don't read much about her on this board.

Charde has been in Connecticut all week... she travels from Phx, San Diego, Florida every so often with her adopted daughter. Im not sure how she's making money these days

Notice that Sue is listed in almost every year. She has tied Tamika Catchings for the most All-Star games ever and has a chance to break that record next year.

This sounds like UConn domination:

UConn has had the most alums in the last nine WNBA All-Star Games counting Saturday's.

UConn and Tennessee are the only programs to have players selected for every WNBA All-Star Game.

She doesn't have to worry, when you're a UCONN WBB grad, people just give you money. Not an NCAA violation at that point.

She had an online homemade jewelry business for a while (Body Karmah), but the website (www.stylebodykarmah.com) seems to be down. She also had started a foundation, Y.O.U. (Youth Opportunities Unlimited) which still seems to exist.
