so this will be a 1-month run, then. doesn't clash with the main WNBA season. any overlap with overseas off-season?
There are so many overseas leagues that I am sure it conflicts with something... I do notice that some folks play on more than one team or in more than one league... it really is about what is best for the individual player because there are so many options.... but yes, AU is clear of conflicting with the WNBA season... I believe that is all they were or could be concerned with....

I have only seen a portion of one WBB game... I am not sure I am ready for college basketball yet but I see that South Carolina and UConn are at the top of the polls right now... and I saw at least one journo talking great about Paige...

Great news from Asia Durr... after battling long-haul Covid, which kept her out of the past two WNBA seasons, Asia has been cleared to play basketball again!!!!

The Atlanta Dream and its new ownership group just doesn't care.... surely, the W has someone in its executive office to deal with tampering...

Changes in the WNBA Playoff format have been made... the single elimination rounds have been eliminated... but so have the byes... there will still be 8 teams making the playoffs, against what I would prefer.... but here's to the changes

Good. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Seems much more straightforward.

By other, they are Katie Lou Samuelson, Jackie Young and Breanna Stewart. I look forward to this collection but I laugh at this picture... why is Sky so big when she is by far the shortest, lol....

Kysre Gondrezick has posted for the first time in months.... I figured the death of her father was a big reason she disappeared... hope she continues to get the help she needs...

Suspensions for Court and CB, as a response to that altercation that happened before the season but wasn't made public until after the season:

Wow. So the league will have them back if a team chooses to sign them. Is the suspension too light or just right?

I'm happy for Britt. She's enjoying herself very much in Canberra. Her stories are a nice look into her daily grind.

Some think that the suspension is a joke... basically, the team knew, when it happened, but did nothing... and it seems like the league did not find out until the videos went viral and they decided to "investigate" the issue...

I do think they should be allowed to return, if a team is willing to take them... I know Court has been a problem at all of her stops but this wouldn't be the first time someone's talent overshadowed their behavior.... but eventually, she will run out of W teams to burn so she needs to grow up now or she won't have many more years in the W...

This was so random :ROFLMAO:

Have you watched her on the Celebrity Apprentice? She was on the season with Porsha and Kyle from Real Housewifey

Apparently, I hadn't been following Lisa on IG, and didn't realize it... she had some other videos where she is moving as well....

However, naw, I didn't see her edition of Celeb Apprentice.. I only watched one season of that show and that was random enough, lol...

Big up young lady!


I saw this and Paige Buckets has been a bag since before college so she is definitely in school at the right time... I think this current crop of college ladies will be the barometer as more attention is being placed on the W... they might be the actual stars who transfer from college to pros, not just the chosen few... even though Paige does go to UConn so she already had that going for her...

I need to see the deals that Zia Cooke of South Carolina is getting... she has the flair and game to be getting that national bag as well....

Azzi Fudd will be working with Stephen Curry's brand... another UConn player, and Paige's good friend, getting the bag...

There seems to be a good number of W players in the land down under...

Marina Mabrey (Dallas Wings) and Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces) are with the Perth Lynx

Many players are down under because most the Asian countries have a ban on foreigners.

The WNBA Draft Lottery will take place on Sunday, December 19th between two Women's College Games... of course, there are only 4 teams eligible for the lottery but since my squad is one of them, I will always hope we get the #1 pick... I don't think we have to give it to anyone and we could use a young building block...

There are also good homegrown talents down under too I've noticed. Hope it's beneficial for both global crops participating together.

I'm digging the shots posted by Skylar! Would like to get my hands on them but my heart's set on Ivy Park.

Yeah, I saw this on Twitter... UConn was up big over ND but Paige was still in the game and got hurt when she really shouldn't have been in the game... and Geno had no good reason why she was still in the game that late...
