CC really coming on

Got to see two games against the Aces. So also saw Kate Martin and Meghan Gustuffson. If any of you are inclined to go to Indy to see the Fever I know you will enjoy yourselves.
 
The Aces are quite good. I thought the fan support for CC was amazing. CC jerseys everywhere in town, venue sold out. They put on a very good show. A lot of Hawkeye jerseys in the mix. I wore mine.
 
It's now official: Not just the WNBA Rookie of the Year, but it was UNAMINOUS!

Congratulations to the player most responsible for the meteoric rise in popularity of the WNBA, who plays with class and poise, and speaks with maturity far beyond her years.

What an amazing 4+ years it has been for Iowa women's hoops and its fans!
 
The playoffs proved way too much in the 1st game for both the Fever and the refs. The Fever weren't ready for the intensity on both sides of the ball from the Sun. And the refs just about got 40% of the calls wrong in the 1st half including some petty intense hits to the face both to and from CC. Not really favoring either team, just made for a brutal viewing for the fans.

I don't like to rag on the refs too bad, I know it is a very difficult job. But WNBA refs have not been up to the task all year. The league needs to address this. And I agree, they didn't favor one team in this game, but they were rough.

Connecticut took it to the Fever, looked like a vet team beating up on a young team. It will be interesting to see how fast Indiana can learn. It seems like Boston might have the most favorable matchup, can they find a way to take advantage without straying too far from what makes them great (CC and KM bombing and attacking)? Can they ratchet up the defensive intensity to playoff level? Will be fun to watch.
