I love watching Jonquel Jones go to work on the glass; I'd like to imagine, if the WNBA had existed in 1994, that's what a young Yo would have looked like.

Good for Notre Dame: coming into tonight, the last seven times UConn actually lost in the tournament, the team that beat them was 2-5 in their next game. Nice to see them close the deal.
I have nothing but contempt for Don Geno and his Huskies but, all things being equal, it's probably best for women's college basketball for UConn to get to the Final Four every year, and lose.

I just watched the best basketball game that's going to be played tonight. Don't @ me.
Legendary coach Anne Donovan passed away today, at 56 years old, of heart failure. Donovan coached the WNBA Charlotte Sting to the WNBA Finals in 2001, losing to the LA Sparks, and led the Seattle Storm to the WNBA Championship in 2004. She was the fourth head coach, and the first woman head coach to win a WNBA Championship.
Lindsay Whelan is currently holding a press conference on NBA TV, officially announcing that she will (as expected) be retiring at the end of the 2018 WNBA season.
Last night, Courtney Vandersloot broke Ticha Penicheiro's record for most assists in a single season, with two games remaining in the regular season. And, the record is legit because, although Ticha set the record in a 32-game season, Vandersloot missed the first four games of the season, and broke the record in only 28 games.
Shout-out to Kara Lawson for correcting Pam Ward on air last night, during the Sparks/Mystics game:
Ward (paraphrased): [Connecticut Sun] have never won a WNBA championship... They've been to the Finals twice, and lost both times, including once to your Sacramento Kings...
Kara (under her breath): Monarchs.
Tell her, Kara! PUT SOME RESPECK ON Y'ALL'S NAME!

Well, that makes one of us.
Rassum-frackum Storm...
Oh well, at least former Monarch Courtney Paris gets a ring.

From the recent ESPNW Summit... I wonder how often Sarah Spain is posing for a picture with four women, where she's only the third-tallest one?

ESPN is airing (EDIT - just finished airing) an impromptu Women's Selection Special on ESPN2 two hours early, because the entire women's bracket got leaked online. That's a bad look.
Biggest takeaway is UConn is a #2 seed: first time they haven't been a #1 since 2006.

There are only two living coaches, not named Geno Auriemma, who have won multiple Division I Women's National Championships in the 21st century.
On Sunday, they'll each be coaching against the other, for a chance at their third. It will be the first time since 2012 that both of the head coaches in the Women's National Championship game are women; interestingly enough, that matchup also involved both these same coaches.

Yo, the injury to Lauren Cox turned this whole game around; from seventeen points to tied, with five minutes to go.
I tell you what: she hasn't been hitting down the stretch, but I wouldn't want to be the team that doesn't have Arike Ogunbawale, with the game on the line.

Cheers to Laimbeer for doing his part to make All-Star weekend a first-class experience for the All-Stars. And jeers to the NBA and the WNBA for doing their part to try and stop him.

Sports and entertainment media would be much better served if they had more Shea Serranos.
I hate the Mystics, but I'm very pro-WNBA, so this spoke to my soul:

All-Star
I'm failing to understand why this is ridiculous or why they couldn't somehow schedule a parade. What's going over my head here?
