Unrivaled players rave over record crowd at Philly tour stop

Was only able to watch the first game. The crowd was great and fully invested based on how they reacted to the game. Hopefully Unrivaled thinks of doing similar stops in other cities more often.

If you recorded it, you HAVE to watch the second game. I thought the Owls were cooked when I found out Aliyah Edwards was sitting out this game but Marina Mabrey went full superwoman and scored an Unrivaled record 47 points. It was amazing to watch!

Totally agree. I love the Owls and got a love/hate thing going with Marina being on the team, that I am working on, but Marina was cooking!! She had the drive game going and the deep ball going. She did her thang out there.

Hah. As Marina once told (male) doubters: go back to kitchen and make her a sandwich!
Mabrey has been doing spectacularly this winter, but this was beyond. Marina: 18-28 (10-15 from Three) = 47 points. Whew!

  • Since the game was in Philly, I've got to imagine that family/friends from Belmar/Manasquan made the relatively cross-Jersey trip to Philly to see MM.
  • With this breakout performance, she's now the leading scorer in the league at 28.1 ppg, narrowly edging Chelsea Gray at 28.0 ppg. With Skylar Diggins now back for two games, I imagine this average might go down a bit, but Sky knows to feed the hot hand (she once played with K-Mac)
  • If -- and this is a big if -- the WNBA CBA gets resolved, her performance this year thus far will only help her. Like 2/3 of the league, she's an unrestricted free agent this year and can sign anywhere. Not only is her shooting getting better with age, her overall game is.

Listen, Marina's an acquired taste for many and I get that. Not so much if you're a Long Islander who now lives in Jersey who went to and roots for ND...like me. 😉 While she's known for her, ahem, brashness, it was her selflessness to pick up most of the initial PG duties in 2017-18 (and lower her shooting opportunities) that helped ND towards the national title. We Irish don't forget that. Plus we see just how hard she works at her game. Now she's filling up the hoop and her "Crash Out" Jar. Go Marina!

Fortunately, I can access via YouTube because Unrivaled considers the Canada as part of their international market.

The phases "heater" or she's on "one" would certainly apply to Marina Mabrey last night in Philly. The variety of scoring is as varied as you can get and the three pointers are as ridiculous as some taken by you-know-who. What I like is just how loud and raucous this place gets, from teammates and announcers to the crowd. Take the show to another city! (Bring Mabrey).

 
Unrivaled 1v1 Tournament coming up on the 11th, 13th, and 14th. Last season, that whole 1v1 caught me off guard mainly because I was not expecting the ladies to go that hard. I figured that they would just shoot jumpers from the elbow or from deep. Some did settle for the jumper, but a good number of the players took it to the rack and the 1v1 got serious and physical. I can't wait to watch the matchups this season.
