Good chance for Connecticut to win their 1st game Seattle without Sue. This is not a good Seattle team without Sue.

This is a good chance for Connecticut to get their 1st win. This is not a good Seattle team without Sue.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Seattle looks awful outside of Stewie. Yikes.

What's gotten into Brionna Jones? 11 points in Q1, slightly outpacing Stewie. Sun leading 19-16.

 

[Shades]

League-leading scorer Bonner finally crashing back to earth?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Storm looking better in Q2. Howard showing some signs of life. Canada led a surge to put them in the lead.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oops, Seattle has gone downhill now w/ Canada out of the game. They apparently don't have a 3rd PG. I wouldn't really count Loyd or Whitcomb. Stewie has gone cold. Jones has 18 now, career high and it's not even halftime yet.

 

[nwhoopfan]

40-38 Sun at the half. A few nice runs for Seattle but overall pretty disappointing performance from them. Stewie has 12, Canada w/ 8. Jones leading everybody w/ 18, A. Thomas has 9 pts and 10 boards.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Seattle started forcing TOs and found the range from 3 to go from down 5 to up 8 at the end of Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Storm pulling away, up 14 midway thru Q4.

I'm surprised at how fluid Magbegor looks driving from the perimeter.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This is not a good Seattle team without Sue.

You didn't exactly nail that one. Looked good in the 2nd half. Cruised to an easy win 87-74, and it really wasn't that close.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Storm went 11-21 behind the arc. Stewie led all scorers w/ 22, Canada chipped in 14 and 6 assists, Clark had a nice 2nd half to finish w/ 13, 12 for Loyd and 15 big points off the bench for Whitcomb.

 

[nwhoopfan]

20 for Jones, almost all in the 1st half. A. Thomas w/ 15 pts/13 rebs, J. Thomas w/ 11. Bonner was harassed into a 5 point night, largely credited to Clark by the announcers.

 

[Shades]

Sun now go to 0-5. They might have to play the Liberty to pick up their first win.

Howard and Russell both didn't contribute much. The offense seems to run better when Ezi is in the game, and team defense appears to be better. Russell drops a lot of passes and blew 3 layups and got 1 blocked.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Seattle has Stewie and no one else does. She ups her game when Sue is out. Her shot and ball-handling look better than ever.

DeWanna had a very off-game tonight, about 20 points below her average. Connecticut looks better than an 0-5 team, but they have lapses that cost them games. I think they were fatigued late in some games.

Ezi should be at UConn and the pre-season POY. I think we would have won the 2019 championship with her.

I have to agree, Ezi would have been a difference maker in college. She has a pretty good handle for being 20 years old, catches well and can finish.

Russell looked awful tonight. This is my first watching Seattle this year. Last year a bunch of players took on different, expanded roles. Now I think several of them are struggling to figure out what their role is with the return of injured players. Howard had a good first half but then disappeared.
