FCP has continued to press its investigation into the issue and was the first to learn that Griner's school district is now promising that she can play--if only her parents send a note! http://wbb.scout.com/2/844386.html Ken Kallina/LeeMichaelson http://wbb.scout.com/2/844386.html Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:17:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Just over a year since Force 10 Hoops bought the Seattle Storm, the new owners are learning to walk in preparation for running. Within the last month, the four-woman ownership group has guaranteed its team's playing home for the next decade and leased a new office facility. With this foundation, they can now solidify their roster -- the current uncertainty of which is worrying a lot of Storm fans. http://wbb.scout.com/2/839826.html Sue Favor http://wbb.scout.com/2/839826.html Tue, 17 Feb 2009 01:12:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Full Court has already announced our selections for the McDonald's and WBCA All American Teams. Now we look at Brandon Clay of Jump Off Plus and his All American selections. Clay also breaks down this week in the Southeast Region recruiting and the Jump Off Plus Game of the week. http://wbb.scout.com/2/839333.html Brandon Clay http://wbb.scout.com/2/839333.html Sat, 14 Feb 2009 23:49:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Hot News for G Christina Foggie http://wbb.scout.com/a.z?s=427&p=9&c=2&cid=834400&nid=4163341&fhn=1 Unknown Unknown http://wbb.scout.com/a.z?s=427&p=9&c=2&cid=834400&nid=4163341&fhn=1 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:21:47 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb Bruin senior guard Tierra Henderson has been suspended indefinitely from the team, according to Steve Rourke, associated sports information director for UCLA. http://wbb.scout.com/2/823694.html Sue Favor http://wbb.scout.com/2/823694.html Mon, 22 Dec 2008 03:34:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Hot News for G Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis http://wbb.scout.com/a.z?s=427&p=9&c=2&cid=822844&nid=4106504&fhn=1 Unknown Unknown http://wbb.scout.com/a.z?s=427&p=9&c=2&cid=822844&nid=4106504&fhn=1 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 05:33:17 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb After months of speculation about the future of four-time league champion Houston Comets, one of the league's cornerstone franchises, and rumors of bailouts by private investors, WNBA president Donna Orender announced the team's demise today. Meanwhile, the rest of the league faces a shaky future in difficult financial times. PLUS, a photo gallery remembering the past 12 years of Comets' history. http://wbb.scout.com/2/817753.html Bob Corwin http://wbb.scout.com/2/817753.html Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:57:00 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb In one of the more surprising developments in Europe, Maria Stepanova has left CSKA Moscow to join another Russian Superleague powerhouse UMMC Ekaterinburg. http://wbb.scout.com/2/814405.html Bert Larsimont http://wbb.scout.com/2/814405.html Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:47:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Predictions are really nothing more than educated guesses that are wrong as often as they are right. http://wbb.scout.com/2/813586.html Sharon Crowson http://wbb.scout.com/2/813586.html Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:18:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb When, for the first time in league history, all four conference semifinals and both conference finals went to three games apiece, there was a lot of talk about parity in the WNBA. So where’s that talk of parity now that Detroit swept San Antonio to take their third WNBA title in just three games, two of them on the road? http://wbb.scout.com/2/799922.html Sharon Crowson http://wbb.scout.com/2/799922.html Sat, 11 Oct 2008 23:28:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Fourth quarter comebacks are fun and exciting for fans and players alike. But they don’t work all that often. What happens much more frequently is the team mounting the comeback gets close but can never take the lead and loses the game. The San Antonio Silver Stars learned that lesson on Wednesday as a furious late rally failed to catch the Detroit Shock. http://wbb.scout.com/2/797083.html Sharon Crowson http://wbb.scout.com/2/797083.html Fri, 03 Oct 2008 01:36:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb Neither team shot the ball well, but the Shock's key players came through in the clutch, bringing their team from behind for a 64-55 win and forcing a decisive Game Three in the East. http://wbb.scout.com/2/795640.html Sharon Crowson http://wbb.scout.com/2/795640.html Mon, 29 Sep 2008 06:52:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb One thing should have been clear after the Los Angeles Sparks squeak out a Game One on their home court thanks to early Seattle Storm miscues than to their own vaunted frontcourt dominance. The same thing should have been crystal clear after L.A. suffered a humiliating pounding in Game Two at Key Arena: They were going to have to get more from their two main weapons—Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker. http://wbb.scout.com/2/793963.html Lee Michaelson http://wbb.scout.com/2/793963.html Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:17:00 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb The most remarkable thing about the New York Liberty’s advance to the Eastern Conference Finals was that they defeated the Sun by only four points. http://wbb.scout.com/2/793531.html Jim Clark http://wbb.scout.com/2/793531.html Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:30:00 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb The temptation is to begin with a cliché, but the game deserves better so the temptation must be resisted. After Detroit took the first game of their series on Indiana's home court, few thought that the Fever could even take the series to three games. Fewer still thought they could do it without a major contribution from Katie Douglas. And a whole lot of people were wrong. http://wbb.scout.com/2/793131.html Sharon Crowson http://wbb.scout.com/2/793131.html Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:04:00 GMT 0 427 Women's Hoops wbb The Seattle Storm returned tit-for-tat this afternoon from their own home court, this time taking the early edge that had given the Sparks the margin of victory in Game One. Los Angeles never really turned it on until the final quarter, and though they closed the gap for a time, in the end, the Storm’s lead, which had at times been as great as 21 points, was simply too much to overcome. http://wbb.scout.com/2/793106.html Lee Michaelson http://wbb.scout.com/2/793106.html Mon, 22 Sep 2008 04:52:00 GMT 1 427 Women's Hoops wbb
