🔮 When the Women’s Champions Classic returns to Barclays Center later this year, the spotlight will shine on some of the biggest stars in women’s college basketball.
🔮 The Liberty, now trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five semifinals, learned after the game they had a reset timeout after all and could’ve advanced the ball on the final possession.
🔮 NOW“I would probably say that too if I didn’t want to admit that we got beat by somebody else,” Dream wing Rhyne Howard said Tuesday.
🔮 “Maybe just crashing and trying to make things happen, be a little bit more physical in that sense.
🔮 The scoring may be better distributed among the rotation in future games.
🔮 The Liberty didn’t know whether Han Xu would be available Sunday after she fell ill.
🔮 The Liberty may have waltzed through the first round by beating the Minnesota Lynx by an average of 16 points.
🔮 But they appeared to forget the one thing they could least afford against the Dream.
🔮 The No. 4 Atlanta Dream might be the higher seed in their semifinal matchup against the eighth-seeded Liberty, which begins Sunday.
🔮 It is being billed as a physically demanding series, where speed and size will matter greatly.
