***WNBA Thread***

Pretty amazing (not really) the Fever coverage in Iowa has really dropped back. I thought Iowa was in love with the wnba, not just a homestate favorite.
You think it's just in Iowa that coverage has dropped off since the start of college football and NFL?
 
And Collier is ruled out for game 4 for the Lynx. Injury added to the insult of the basketbrawl game the other night.

I feel like I’m a bigger fever fan than 99.999999% of Hawkeye fans just because I’m watching the playoffs.

The no call where she got hurt was one of the worst calls I’ve seen in pro basketball.

Just a 0% chance you could foul and injure an NBA star in that spot with no whistle.

Lynx coach is right they are not professional level.

I’ve watched every Fever playoff game and about 1000x less Hawkeye fans are this year. Make of that what you will.

Admittedly I put it on while I’m doing other stuff but I have watched them all while last year’s mega fan Kieth Murphy acts like it ceased to exist…as the Fever got much much better!!!

Was on a work trip, so watched the Lynx the night they let it get away from them in Minnesota

It should be a huge red flag that officials we see regularly in Big 12 WBB are getting postseason assignments in the WNBA.

This is why many CC fans are not watching. The team is playing better and they can't stand that this is happening with her on the bench.

They’d still be better with Clark but even without her they definitely are better with the offseason and midseason moves.

I can’t imagine cheering for pacers the past few years (as I have) and if Tyrese got hurt before the playoffs I just don’t watch them at all even though they won a playoffs series for first time in many years.

With the number of injuries them winning anything is pretty amazing. Still, there are lot of capable players left outside of rosters when the season starts and they have done a good job of finding those gals and having them fit in. Only 144 WNBA players picked from the best in the world versus over 500 for the NBA so the gals are out there.

Also Mitchell is just the fastest player off dribble in wnba. If she was a couple inches taller she’d be mvp. As nba lifer her ability to blow by defenders is comparable to AI and Rose in terms of no chance to stay in front so you have to recover from behind.
 
Fever force game 5, really an incredible story with so many key injuries.

Sucks the Lynx are without best player and a lot of other injuries.
