6/13/24 Las Vegas lost to Minnesota on the 11th by double digits. Martin played significant minutes and did some good things. I've not seen all the teams play yet, but Minnesota is the best offensive team I've watched. Too bad that Clark isn't on the Lynx. The Lynx are currently statically the...

6/10/24 The Fever got humiliated by Connecticut in a blow out loss. The coach sat all but one starter out the second half. Clark played 22 minutes and had 10 points. That's the fewest minutes she has played. After 13 games the Fever is not a "team". It is pretty much a collection of players...

I'm starting this thread to track how current Hawkeyes are doing in the WNBA. I'm really tracking Indiana and Las Vegas, but you never know another Hawkeye might get picked up. Anyway. my two cents worth about The Fever vs the Mystics and the Aces vs the Sparks. The Fever beat the win less...

If you are tracking realignment you might fined what @gentics56 has to say. Normally I would not post something like this, but the guy has some credibility. Big Mountain Podcast Guest @Genetics56. I'll add some comment why you might want to listen. It boils down to the B1G adding Florida State...

What you should know about Chennedy Carter when you digest the article. She has a history. Since she turned 22 in 2020, she was eligible for the 2020 draft. On March 29, Chennedy Carter declared for the WNBA draft, forgoing her senior season.[3] On April 17, she was drafted fourth overall in...

During the Chicago game the Fever shot 39.1%. Clark made her first two 3's but missed the next seven 3s. She ended up with 10 pts. Mitchell took the most shots (of course) and was 6 of 16 with 5 free throws. Boston was 4 of 14. The shooting was atrocious today. The Fever really has no bench...

Sparks vs Fever: LA was unconscious from 3 and Indiana was the opposite. After 8 games or 20% of the schedule Indiana looks disorganized. While CC22 had her best scoring night, but the offense had too many bad possessions. Mitchell has been forcing shots (5 of 15) and not making any assists or...

I've wondered about the academic side long before NIL came along. I have a difficult time with how transfers can immediately become eligible. The admission offices must be pretty lenient accepting credits from other institutions. Once upon a time students had to be making progress toward a...

Recently the number $30,000,000 per year/per school for damages related to NIL. Below are revenue figures and expenses for B1G teams in 2023. From some reports roster sizes are going to be imposed to mitigate the problems of cutting out sports and dealing with title IX scholarships for women. I...

I retired before I wanted to because I was diagnosed with a cancer that only males can get. I had 35 years in the retirement system and if you die before you get a retirement check your descendants get a lump sum payment. I was nearly 62 at the time and working in the information technology...

The WNBA initiated from NCAA women's basketball. Women's college basketball has been dominated by a few teams; Tennessee and Connecticut are prominent. The Summits and Auriemma's established a style that won at the collegiate level, was copied, and carried it over to the WNBA. Interest in...

Aces vs Fever - I missed the entire 1st half and part of the 3rd quarter. You had to know Indiana had no chance in this game. Back to back games and the 7th game in 11 days with 5 games on the road. Great scheduling by the WNBA to schedule 5 games against the top three teams in the league to...

The Fever played probably their best game against Seattle. It was a 18,000+ and the noise level was very good. I think Clark played her best game to date. Her stat line was good. She was a +7 for the game and had her least amount of Turn Overs. She played much better on defense and didn't get...

The WNBA commissioner needs to evaluate how the games are refereed. There are too many inconsistencies in what is a foul and one that is not. It seems to me that the games are called to slow the pace of the games in order to protect the older women. The Thomas woman really was allowed to push...

I'm inclined to say no. Other than the money factor for the game isn't being in the playoffs enough? If multiple Big Ten teams make the playoff then just pit them against each other in the playoffs?

The Aces played immediately after the Fever's game. Kate played 27+ minutes. She came in the 2nd quarter and ignited a 17 point run. She did the little things and played well defensively. She fit in well with the team on the floor. She probably didn't get much practice time with that group so...

I had never watched a WNBA game until Tuesday. I can see why the WNBA is not entertaining. There's not much you can do to save it from failing. It look nothing like the college game. The only thing I saw comparable this year was the WV vs IA game in the 2nd round. Unless the WNBA cracks down...

The Fever coach should not have Clark bring the ball up the court because she drawing a double team the entire time leaving little time to get a good shot. If she rebounds it then let her bring the ball up. Boston hasn't showed any foot speed.

This seems appropriate. D Dodd CBS article on Lester.
