Jump to Comments

It’s a beautiful Sunday in Connecticut as the Silver Stars try to bounce back from an ugly loss in new york on Friday with a win in Connecticut, home of the defending NCAA Women’s basketball champions, the U Conn huskies and to the Connecticut Sun.

Hi everyone. I’m Chase risman. Happy fathers day!. what happened on Friday you ask? what should have been a 20 point win over a team that’s 0-3 turned into a 16 point embarrassment. Silver Stars in new york but without Becky hammon like today, they trailed from wire to wire. down 31-10 after 1. they fell to the liberty 77-61. so today, they try to bounce back. when do the silver stars get Ann wauters back? find out. plus Becky four points away from passing Diana Taurasi for 16Th place on the all time scoring list. and VJ now 5 Field goals away from passing Chamique Holds claw for 8Th on the all time Field goals list. coming up.  If I could describe bad news for the lynx , it’s this: Seimone Augustus is out for the season. Augustus suffered an acl injury.  what a difference a year makes. last year, Candice Wiggins missed the rest of the season now this year it’s Seimone. silver stars see the lynx next Friday on my35. it’s time for sharp talk. now the reason that maybe the stars are losing these blowouts is because Ann wauters isn’t back yet.  but she will be back in the second half of the season. after today the silver stars open up a 4 game home stand: Tuesday vs phoenix on espn2, Friday vs Sacramento, Tuesday vs Washington and Friday vs Minnesota.  now if they win all 4 and lose today, they would be 5-3. reverse, 5-2. now last thing, if we can’t win the finals rematch, i’m going to be so mad . we will be right back.

silver stars starting lineup is: Ruth Riley center, Sophia young forward, Erin beusher/perperglou at forward, Belinda Snell at guard and Vickie Johnson at guard. now i just learned that Sophia Young’s dad passed away on may 22 2009. he was sitting in the couch when he got up and went to work when his tea cup fell. he fell back in the chair and died of a heart attack. at this time a moment of silence please.  My prayers go out to Sophia And Mr.Young and the Young family. Since i was a fan in 2007, i have experienced this with the team before. last year, Vickie Johnson missed a game at Washington to be with her sick mother. so this isn’t the first time this has happened. now back to Sophia, last year she had 17 20+ point games. the stars were 14-3 when she did. she led the team in scoring 17 times and the stars were 12-5 when she did. She received player of the week, all defensive first team, and all first team. she has 30 career 20 + point games. 2 in 2006, 10 in 2007, 17 last year, and 1 this year. coming up, the sun scouting report. Connecticut sun starting lineup is: Chante black at center, former UConn star Asjia Jones at froward, Tameka witmore at forward, Barbara Turner at guard and Lindsey whalen at guard. Whalen last year led the league in assists. Now don’t make too much fun of Asjia Jones scoring a grand total of 39 points her last 3 games. she averaged 20 last year against the stars. she had 22 at Connecticut in an 85-73 loss and had 18 in their 78-74 loss in San Antonio. now for more on the sun, here’s our scouting report: “It’s important to know when Lindsey’s going to make a tough pass or when Asjia’s going shoot that 18 footer. Also when they miss a shot we have to be ready  to get the rebound because they get a ton of offensive rebounds. I think we know that this a match up of the last two coach of the year winners. so we need to rebound and if we do, will find a way to get some baskets”.  thanks for watching. we will see you at halftime.

hi everyone welcome back to the blog center, i welcome you to game day. The western conference championship will be on display at academy on June 27 from noon to 2pm. Enjoy the game we’ll see you at halftime!
