UConn in the WNBA

Double double for Aaliyah!!!!!!!!

She had a great game on defensive end of the court too. This Washington team has been fun to watch this season. They haven't won a lot, but they compete and have fun doing it as a team. Think this was a great landing spot for Aaliyah and glad she's been taking advantage of her opportunities.
 
I realise nothing has been told about Tina Charles first ever Triple Double - Isn't she the first Huskie to realise it in a WNBA game ?

Hall of Fame coach Bobby Knight called Geno Auriemma one the best coaches he has ever seen. When a player has 4 years of that type of coaching, you are more than prepared for the pro game.
In fact, I think UConn has the two best coaches in college basketball.

They do. There's no arguing it. The championships speak for themselves. In WBB's case, the amount of players who go on to be successes/legends in the W or are successful coaches themselves (Berube, Ralph) is something no other school comes close to. Dan Hurley singlehandedly dismantled each and every opponent in MM (Illinois must've been a horror show to their fans). And Illinois was a really good offensive team too I believe.

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.

But there is a chance she will be with Team for the Game of the champions, since London Lions has dibanded, Besiktas, as the runner up of EuroCup, is the team Fenerbahce will meet.
 
With four games left for the Atlanta Dream, Tina Charles needs 31 rebounds to tie Sylvia Fowles for #1 in career Rebounds. She has been averaging about 9.5 boards per game, so she should make it on the last game of the season.

A few other interesting stats from the all time list:

  • Tina needs 20 defensive rebounds to overtake # 1 from Sylvia in that category, so she should get that record this year also.
  • Tina needs 11 more offensive rebounds to overtake # 2 from Sylvia in that category, and 45 to reach #1 with Rebekkah Brunson. Matching Sylvia might happen this year, but catching up with Brunson would take another season.
  • Stefanie Dolsen is #3 in 3 point field goal percentage, and #10 in overall Field goal percentage.
  • DT is #2 in games played with 19 games behind #1 Sue Bird. If she plays one more season she should get that record.
  • DT is currently #1 in Nine out of the Nineteen all time Stats listed. Ten if she plays one more year and gets games played. (Although two of the stats aren't exactly ones to be proud of: Fouls and Turnovers!)
  • If Diana and Tina plays one more year and they get the Games Played and all three Rebound all time records respectively, between Sue, Tina, and Diana, UCONN Alums would be #1 in 14 out of the 19 all time stats tracked! (One Edit to this. Even if DT doesn't get Games Played, UCONN will still have 14 out of 19 as Sue holds # 1 in Games Played).

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...

WNBA lifetime stats have tallys for Total Rebounds, Defensive, and Offensive. She needs 9 more defensive to tie Sylvia. Should get that before the season ends also. OBoards are more difficult. She would need 41 to tie Rebekkah Brunson.
 
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.

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.

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,

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.

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.
