I probably didn't do a great job in phrasing the question, so I will give 2 examples from last year that don't apply this year, because the players are no longer WNBA teammates. Stewie (now with NY) and Lloyd were teammates for Seattle and played against each other in the 2014 Natty Championship and Ty Harris (now with CT) and Big T were Dallas teammates and played against each other in the '17 finals. I counted 4 current examples.

KML and Jewel Lloyd

If I read you correctly:
Arike (Notre Dame) and Big T (Miss. State) played against each other in the 2018 Finals.
Arike (ND) and Kalani Brown (Baylor) played against each other in the 2019 Finals.

I can think of a few semi-final matchups (Lynx: Jess Shepard of ND and Napheesa Collier of UConn), but you're after the NC pairings.

A couple of extremely memorable final's moments in general and for Arike.

McCowan/Ogunbowale was previously mentioned, so we are now halfway home. Nice

I’m thinking Kia Nurse and Jewel Loyd may have matched up in a NC game. (This trivia has my wheels spinning)

I've always liked Lauren Cox. She was like a physical, defensive center who could do all the little things, especially with passing, in college. Now 4 years post graduating and she's kinda changed her game. Shoots a lot more from the outside, atleast overseas. I still want to see her get a real shot but that's the W for you.

I feel horribly for her and it doesn't seem to be wise, but she has had multiple opportunities in different environments. I'm sure the coaches know her college and overseas attributes as well as her personality -- we are not at practice is the only thing that I can say with a lot of these???

Amazing how there is only 1 starter from the '19 championship team still in the league and she (Kalani) is hanging on by a thread after being waived multiple times.

Absolutely. Her perimeter defense was so strong. Dana and Koné will have to step up with Copper having to do a lot of what Gardner did

By the end of the year Kone will be the 1st player off the bench or starting.
At 20 years old she has the it factor, just needs the playing time.

Will the Lynx win a game this year? Okay, obviously they will. How many losses will they accrue first? 0-6 start to the season. Will they boost the Fever out of their accustomed spot in the cellar?
 
It was great to see Dorka getting legit minutes. I mean she got some minutes! My Lynx are one game from reaching their worst start to their season since we got Coach Reeves in Minnesota. Well I guess we will see what happens with this team over the next few games. Up next, Washington.
 
The Lynx don't look terrible, but their guard play may be. They are the worst team in the league, at 0-6. Coach Reeve, over her Lynx career, is 2 games under .500 without Maya on the roster and 128 games over .500 with Maya. They need more talent, especially at the guard spot.

The petty part of me feels like this is karma for waiving Dangerfield, a decision that made little sense at the time and only grows worse in retrospect...

The Lynx need someone who can play defense, that team can't stop anyone.
