UConn in the WNBA

Tina now needs 16 to tie, 17 to pass, Sylvia. Rarified air for sure. She averages over 8 RPG so if she does her average...

just grabbed 14 tonight in a big win over the sky - 13 defensive, 1 offensive - so she is #1 in defensive rebounds and should be able to grab 5 more rebounds on Thursday in NY to be #1 overall. Probably end the season in #3 on the offensive boards.

She just needs 3 more to pass Big Syl for overall.

If she pulls an Angel Reese and gets 7 OBoards, she will be #2 on that state.

Besiktas is in the qualifier for Euroleague competion. They will play a two game series H/A with Basketball Landes(France). If they win the series(I am guessing it is total points) they will play in the top Euroleague this season.
If they lose they will play in the EuroCup league, instead.

Heres the thing. The 2 game series is September 18th and 24th. Nika will still be with Seattle at that time and wont be able to play for the team.

Nika's overseas team, Besiktas, lost at home, to Basketball Landes, 84-70.
So they will have to go on the road next week, to France, and win by at least 15 points to move on in Euroleague or they will be playing in Euro Cup this season. No disgrace to play in Euro Cup,

I was having fun with a guy who has a crush on CC. I told him that all of her "records" need an asterisk on them. He said what do you mean? I said an asterisk just like Roger Maris had an asterisk for decades. You can argue fair or not fair until the cows come home... BTW, this isn't limited to CC.

What is the asterisk for?

What is the asterisk for?

I would guess the records were broken on a WNBA season that has had more regular season games then past WNBA seasons.
Similar to when Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's HR record in a 162 games season vs a 150 game season that Ruth played.

 

[Oldschoolbb]

I'd say she's hardly a candidate for ROY.

This is true of virtually every "season" record in every sport. MLB went from 154 to 162 games. NFL went from 12 to 17 games. NBA went from 68 to 82 games. NHL went from 60 games in 1948 to the current 80 game schedule.

Oh thanks. I thought it was referring to college records.

But she is certainly a candidate for the All-Rookie team. Her teammate, 31 year old Julie Vanloo, should also make that team.

Stats don't lie either

Lou forces CC to Tap Out!!
Lucky nothing happened, phew!

Tina has 3-6=9 rebounds tonight in the first half so is #1 in rebounds, #1 in DBoards and #3 in OBoards with still a chance to move up to #2 this season, especially if they win since she'll get at least another game.

Career records are based on regular season only.

Absolutely correct. I was actually having fun busting the guy's chops because I'm a little tired of hearing about someone who shall go nameless on this forum.

How it started.........How it ends.
What a career!!

The pass it on to the next generation UConn hug

With 4.42 left in the 4th quarter, of the last regular season game, Nika did it. A steal and a basket!!

 

[GoUconn7961]

I was thrilled Nika finally scored last night with Geno, CD, Sue, Gabby and DT there. I'm sure I'm missing others. What a moment.

 

[cancontent]

Love this angle.

 

[yhun89]

Nika points off a steal and score. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Nika pre game interview.
