Tuesday came and went without any new agreement on the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement, which means teams still cannot sign free agents.
The start of the signing period has been pushed back indefinitely while negotiations are hammered out.
It’s still not so bad… yet. There’s still a decent amount of time between now and the end of […]

I came across an interesting article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today and I thought I’d pass it along. The writer has two reasons why there’s a lot less parity in the women’s game versus the men’s, and they’re good reasons, albeit known ones if you invest a little time thinking about it.
Women stay in […]

With only one victory necessary to tie the team record for best start ever, the Georgia Lady Bulldogs were bested by Xavier 65-56.
Georgia falls to 13-1, leaving No. 1 UConn and No. 25 Arkansas as the remaining unbeatens in college basketball.
Amber Harris (screaming above) led Xavier with 19 points.
Obviously, Georgia wasn’t pleased with how they […]

Any other top teams have people they’d like me not to do a blog post about? So far, I’ve had Candace Parker and Candice Wiggins and their teams lose shortly thereafter.
The UCLA women knocked off No. 2 Stanford pretty handily 69-56 Friday night.
The Bruins have played well against some top teams only to fall off […]

Although most have been good ones, it’s nice to see some other ladies get their run.
Candice Wiggins, Stanford’s stellar shooting guard, had a great profile in the Los Angeles Times.
Ask about her most memorable moment from the Tennessee game and Wiggins doesn’t bring up the game-tying free throws she converted with 1:32 remaining in regulation, […]

So based on my reading, it seems that as Candace Parker (oh, and the Lady Vols, too) travel around the country, there always seems to be the story about the woman some say may save the WNBA.
Today’s edition comes from the Chicago Sun-Times.
There’s no shortage of Candace Parker video on YouTube. You can watch footage […]

Dunker-extraordinaire Sylvia Fowles from LSU is out of commission for the next few weeks following arthroscopic knee surgery.
Fowles was injured during the Tigers win over Miami last week.
“She should be fine,” said Brian Miller, LSU’s associate sports information director. “Once she gets back to full strength, she should be good to go.”
Apparently, […]
