Only 19 made 3’s, all the rest via 2’s & FT’s for 943 points which would STILL be a single season record! Let ‘em know M’VP 😤.

The 3 to the dome celebration happened 3 quarters AFTER the inadvertent contact. Christine you know better now BE better, PERIOD 😤.
I asked DiJonai Carrington about that moment early in Sunday’s Indiana-Connecticut game when she caught Caitlin Clark in the eye. Here’s her answer:

On an unbelievably heartbreaking day, my hoops heart is full for @sabrina_i20 who finally got a win at Gill Coliseum. She played every minute today, and exemplified the mamba mentality. Brava @OregonWBB Congrats on ur 1st win in Corvallis in 10 yrs & #CivilWar🧹 #RIPKobe #RIPGigi

Is this the same Sage Steele slated to open the ESPNW summit focused on creating positive change and opportunity for women in sports?.
So on top of thinking former President Obama shouldn’t identify as black because he didn’t have a relationship with his black father, Sage Steele also thinks female journalists who dress a certain way “know what you’re doing when you’re putting that outfit on.”. Clown behavior.

Crunching numbers ahead of the @aces visit to the desert Sun. @_ajawilson22 is on the brink of becoming the 4th 3x @WNBA MVP in league history. Not only is she avg. career highs in PPG, REBS, STLS & BLKS; she’s averaging a career low in TOV‼️ A’ja has her own gravitational pull.
