Stewart tearing it up early

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stewie off to a hot start but picked up her 2nd foul midway thru Q1. That's not good.

 

[Kaizen]

Stewie has 7 pts, 2 rebs but 2 PFz also..

 

[nwhoopfan]

Some nice D by Ezi on Bonner. She can really move her feet.

It's been al J. Thomas for the Sun, she has all 8 of their points.

 

[Shades]

Connecticut look to be dragging near the end of the first.

Connecticut look to be dragging near the end of the first.

Still hanging around though.

FTA--Connecticut 8 Seattle 0

edit--make it a 10-0 disparity in Q1, ridiculous

 

[nwhoopfan]

This is amazing, Seattle is fouling almost every possession and Connecticut isn't fouling at all. Hmm.

 

[nwhoopfan]

21-16 thru Q1

 

[eebmg]

Seattle's traps are really great. Like scorpions.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Is Rapinoe in the WNBA now? 2 straight commercials featuring her.

 

[Shades]

 

[nwhoopfan]

Games like this make me nervous. Seattle outshooting Connecticut 50% to 33%, but it's only a 3 point game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That's more like it, now up 9.

Bird and Canada on the floor together, I don't think they use that lineup very often.

 

[eebmg]

Howard playing great. Especially defensively. Final puzzle piece.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Howard playing great. Especially defensively. Final puzzle piece.

Yeah her energy level had been looking better lately, but she was missing a lot of shots. She's back to being a defensive terror today. 8pts/8boards 2 blocks, hasn't missed from the floor or FT line.

 

[eebmg]

Stewie does not get enough credit for her wall screens for the perimeter 3. Just blockaded Alisha's defender on her 3. Stef would be proud.

 

[nwhoopfan]

42-33 at the half

 

[nwhoopfan]

Total fouls have "evened up" but still a 10-2 FTA disparity. Seattle was in the bonus for a while w/ no trips to the line. All I gotta say is, dang Connecticut plays some really physical basketball without getting many whistles against them.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Halftime feature on Stewie's rehab from the achilles rupture. There was a shot of her wearing a UW Huskies t-shirt. Uh oh.

 

[Shades]

Natasha Howard finding her groove.
