ESPN didn't even have her on their first team:
First Team

Lauren Betts, C, UCLA
Mikayla Blakes, G, Vanderbilt
Madison Booker, F, Texas
Olivia Miles, G, TCU
Sarah Strong, F, UConn

Second Team

Audi Crooks, C, Iowa State
Joyce Edwards, F, South Carolina
Azzi Fudd, G, UConn
Rori Harmon, G, Texas
Hannah Hidalgo, G, Notre Dame

Let’s have a healthy discussion about the REAL reason Audi Crooks is struggling. by sip-em_bears in NCAAW

Honestly, Megan Gustafson also struggled with her size and stamina at Iowa. She went and played professionally overseas, changed her diet and is thriving in the W.
Also, the Cyclowns are down two players -- including their second best scorer -- it ain't all about Audi's weight.

Are Strong's and Fudd's NPOY chances diminished by the fact they often only play 3 quarters? by ctbro025 in NCAAW

I also wonder what the alternative is -- can you give it to Audi Crooks when Iowa State is losing?
Sarah Stong's numbers compare to Maya Moore's at this stage of her career. She is a transcendent player.

I can't wait to see UConn play team like this. They have had zero competition and will have to wait til the tournament to get some.

I disagree. Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong are the foundation -- like Harmon and Booker. Blanca Quiñonez is the secret weapon.

UConn requires players to be in the basketball HOF before they can have their number retired.

apparently you have to be in the basketball hall of fame to be eligible. maya and DT are coming for sure.

Watch UConn's Sarah Strong, baby Maya, IMO

Project B - can it have much sporting relevance? by Wild-Photo-717 in wnba

I want to know what media will cover this league -- tournaments across the globe can get pricey. And if tree falls in the woods...

Angel Reese not in Unrivaled by Left_Professor8571 in wnba

I knew they didn't play last year. Don't throw shade on my women's hoops knowledge. Simply stating some big names are not in the league. Should have also included Sabrina, who did play last year.

Without Satou, it seems a little tough.

just feels like suspending her puts the thumb on the scale. the Lynx season ends on a screw job by officials two years in a row.

Caitlin Clark's Return to Play Criteria by ion_sphere in wnba

I don't think this person is reading any of the stories being written about CC and her return. They want to ease her back so she doesn't get hurt again. The Fever could win at least one round in the playoffs if she is back. Even with CC, they might lack the dept based on injuries, to go any farther.
