- Your periodic reminder: @HarvardWBB was the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament back in 1998. The club is now 3 teams deep, not 2.
- Here's what @WashMystics guard @_shatori had to say postgame about teammate @AaliyahEdwards_' 23-point, 14-rebound double-double tonight. ⬇️ @TheNextHoops #WNBA
- Today @WashMystics practice, @Mooks_22 told me she makes a point to welcome newbies because 1) the vets did that for her & 2) she knows how hard it is to join a new team. @machirui is her new bestie, & "besties gotta have handshakes." "Want to see it?" she asked. @TheNextHoops
00:00 - Myisha Hines-Allen (@Mooks_22) is out of health and safety protocols & back in the @WashMystics’ facility, per players’ IG stories. One teammate who evidently really missed her, though, was her bestie, @machirui! ⬇️ @TheNextHoops (Shoutout to @NatalieHeavren for the video help!)
00:00 - It's all love between @WashMystics point guards @T_Cloud4 & @machirui! (In fact, Cloud has a signed Rui poster in her locker in DC.) Here they are as Cloud subs in for Machida in tonight's win over Indiana. They combined for 10 assists & only 2 turnovers. @TheNextHoops #Mystics25
00:00 - .@WashMystics announce that former Nikki McCray will be posthumously inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame on Aug. 20. This was in the works and Mike Thibault was able to tell her before she passed away. @TheNextHoops #WNBA
00:00 - (1/2) A cute moment after last night's @WashMystics win: @De11eDonne and @T_Cloud4 congratulating and praising @machirui, who had two points, three assists, a rebound and a steal in 11:05. @TheNextHoops
00:00 - UConn head coach Geno Auriemma talked about Kaitlyn Chen yesterday leading up to the national title game. Here's part of his response, about the culture @Coach_Berube and @PrincetonWBB have built. @TheNextHoops #NCAAWBB
- Spotted: @UConnWBB's Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd at the @IvyLeague WBB Tournament. @PrincetonWBB head coach Carla Berube is a UConn alum, and @CULionsWBB's Carly Rivera and Fudd both went to St. John's College HS in DC. #IvyMadness @TheNextHoops
- That is former @HarvardWBB captain Maura Healey! Healey played for the legendary Kathy Delaney-Smith from 1988-92, won an @IvyLeague championship in 1990-91, and has her name all over the Crimson's all-time top-10 lists in the assists categories. @TheNextHoops #NCAAWBBBREAKING: Maura Healey of Massachusetts makes history as the first out lesbian ever elected governor of a state, @NBCNews projects. nbcnews.to/3NRTHfx
- The fact that @debbieantonelli charted that Monika Czinano had only dribbled 16x to get 214 baskets entering today is one reason why Debbie's been getting big games for so long. Hat tip to her preparation, whether it's for a #NCAAW, #NCAAM or #WNBA broadcast! (Also, what a stat!)
- .@WashMystics head coach Mike Thibault said just now that, for the first time in 2 years, he will probably have a full roster for tomorrow’s game vs. Seattle - including Elena Delle Donne. She will have a minutes limit but looks good in practice. @TheNextHoops #WNBA
- Christyn Williams is not in Washington Mystics camp because she is not fully recovered from tearing 3 knee ligaments a year ago, Mystics GM Mike Thibault told reporters at practice today. She’s leaving DC and going home soon and is an unrestricted free agent. @TheNextHoops #WNBA
