A real one!

I have been checking the TicketMaster app every day since they failed to send me a pre-sale link. There were only reseller tickets available when I checked yesterday morning. Just now, there are standard tickets.

Thank goodness because I refuse to put money in reseller pockets.

After last nights win can we give a shoutout to Naz Hillmon?

She was doing so much to help the team be successful that didn’t show up in the stat sheet. Her chasing after a loose ball or fighting for a rebound/jump ball and keeping everyone engaged in the crazy environment of Balhalla - she is a crucial piece of this team

Angel Reese is my favorite player and she’s rightly getting finals mvp chants after last night but let’s not forget the impact of everyone else too!

Big fan of Swoopes going back to 1997 and the Houston Comets.

We were so focused, working out and practicing before the game started. They were so happy and laughing. I think they believed that no matter what the deficit, they could overcome it in the 4th qtr with fresh legs; they did it against us, the Aces, Sparks....I think they were sure of Game 2. Even their threads said our best shot was Game 1, when we came out swinging. I had to confess I had some doubts when we were behind at half time and we were in serious foul trouble.
