#WNBA, #Fever, and #UofSC Gamecocks fan.
We live on an island of blue that we created in a deep red part of Indiana.
My grand-kitten, shown here, is Shane.

One thing I love about the #WNBA is that I enjoy watching everyone perform.
I'm working on a personal Top Ten list, but it's too long for the format here.
Given the shit show we're seeing at 1600 PA Ave, I can understand the anger. I just wish it didn't spill over into this beautiful space.

It's hard to have connections with #Unrivaled teams.
Players? Easy! Who's from my college ( #UofSC, 3 points)? Who's on my #WNBA team ( #Fever, 3)? Who do I like (1 or 2)? hate (-2)?
When I sum these numbers, I get that I like 5 of the 8 teams, with Phantom my favorite (because of Aliyah Boston).

Lisa Lesley is a great basketball commentator. But she's used the phrase "Wham, bam, yes ma'am" a few times.
"Yes ma'am' is not the way my asshole male acquaintances ended that phrase back in the day.
It makes my skin crawl every time.
Just sayin'

Google ain't as smart as they claim to be.
I, a documented women's basketball lunatic, typed
LSU Alabama
into The Google and got the screen shot, attached "Oh, wow!" I thought. "Alabama is up 20-9 already. That would be quite the upset!!"
Not so fast, Einstein.
Grrrr. Football.

The attendance in Philly last night was 21,490: A record for a regular season women's basketball game.
Arithmetically, its prime factorization is:
21490 = 2 x 5 x 7 x 307
Notably:
2: Kahleah Copper
5: Paige Bueckers
7: Aliyah Boston
307: № of A-list celebrities in attendance last night

I'm ready for some profoundly good news because I'm sick and tired of the bullshit coming from Dear Leader Cheetos, and (more trivially) crazy cold weather and the #WNBA CBA stalemate.

Generally, I love Chelsea "Point Gawd" Gray. But something about her demeanor last night did not sit well with me.
Ya know, it's probably just me - yesterday was a pissy day.

How much is gate at Sephora Arena for an #Unrivaled game?
Here's an estimate
Capacity is "over 1000." Let's say it is 1000
For the Jan 31 game (see image, from Ticketmaster), it look like half the seats go for about $250, and half are about $150
500 x ( $150 + $250 ) = $200,000
Probably more

The announcers on #Unrivaled just referred to Cameron Brink as "KelliCam". I did not realize she was a Klingon distance measurement.

Here is a link to my Google Sheet of all the #Unrivaled players, including their number, college, and 2025 WNBA team.
I would love to add their hometowns (I may, yet).
Lemme know if you find mistakes.

It's a letdown to see the modest crowd in Miami for the #Unrivaled double header, after watching so many high energy games in #NCAAWBB (e.g., full house in Columbia, SC, and the CRAZY crowd in Berkeley)
Why is the Unrivaled arena so damn small?!? High school atenas here in Indiana are way bigger.

#UofSC Gamecocks demolished the previously unbeaten Vanderbilt Commodores.
The team we saw this afternoon is the team that could beat UConn.
I hope we get to see that game: The Gamecocks we saw today versus the Huskies' team we've seen so many times already this year.

2026 #WNBA season: 44 games per team over 139 days. On average: 3.16 days between games
But there is a 3-week World Cup break near season end
(139-21) / 44 = 2.68 days btw games - the same average time btw games as '25
I guess injuries are not a consideration for Cathy & co., yet

There are some team names in #NCAAWBB that are kinda stupid.
I'll start with my Gamecocks. They tried "Lady Gamecocks" for a while, but that was even stupider.
The Presbyterian Blue Hose. Say it out loud (but not in front of the kids).
I'm also not fond of "Lady Vols."
Others?

The QB for Indiana, Fernando Mendoza, and the "QB" for the Mist BC, Allisha Gray, both wear № 15. And they are playing at the same time, in the same city!

When in type Kelsey, I usually get the auto-correct suggestion "Mitchell." But sometimes it's "Plum." I think it's correlated with barometric pressure, or something...
