There's Just So Much Basketball To Talk About!
And it's good to have this blog to talk to....
Let's start with WNBA draft stuff.
Swish Appeal discusses Courtney Vandersloot's draft prospects.
The other day I was wondering why Jeanette Pohlen wasn't listed on the Storm's website as a potential point guard. Today I found out that it's because they consider her a shooting guard. (Even though she's been running the point for Stanford all year.) Whatevs.
A list of all the draft prospects from WNBA.com.
WNBA.com also has pictures of all the #1 draft pictures. Look how cute (and young!) Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson were! Awww....
And finally, an article about how Liz Cambage is excited to come play in the WNBA, but not about playing for Tulsa. I'm only including this because I love the picture of her at the top of the article. Gorgeous!
And finally, speaking of Liz Cambage (and Courtney Vandersloot), wouldn't it be a hoot if they ended up on the same team? Tulsa has the 2nd and 7th picks, so it's possible. Then they'd get a tall, young, gifted Australian and the best incoming point guard in the country. Just like Seattle did with their picks in 2001 and 2002...
And now for some more Final Four stuff:
In the UConn/Duke game, Maya Moore scored her 3000th point. She actually got injured two points shy of the milestone, and Coach Auriemma took her out of the game. Apparently his assistant coaches convinced him to put her back in so that she could get the 3000th point done before the Final Four next weekend.
Final Four previews from ESPN-W, Time, and Sports Illustrated.
Interesting bit in the SI article: In their discussion of Notre Dame sophomore point guard Skylar Diggins, they mention that "she made it to the Indiana state championship game all four years in high school." Note that she didn't win the state championship. You know who did? UConn sophomore guard Kelly Faris (who, by the way, is my favorite UConn player). I've heard it mentioned by several game commentators that she grew up in Indiana and won the state championship all four years of high school. Ha!
