Conn Sun should have won!

I love Taj McWilliams, but man, she and Wendy Palmer combined for 4 missed layups with less than 5 minutes left.

I mean they were point blank and wide open!

That made all the difference in the game!!!

Me no like Lisa Leslie, Nikki Teasley, Latasha Byears and Tameka Dixon

How in the heck can the Sun not draw but 9000 plus fans at that game against the defending world champions. That was horrible. I thought Conn was a hot bed for women's hoops.

I'm not a Conn fan but I as a WNBA fan, am dissappointed.

I agree those missed lay-ups was probaly the difference in the game. The Sun did a great job shutting down Leslie and Milton in the second half, and they also out rebounded LA(if i'm not mistaken)

Leslie was killing them in the first half... but yeah, they did a great job on her the second half... too bad they have so many weapons because Mabika went nuts...

I attended the game, it was a sell out. Yes, there were a few empty seats but it wasn't bad. They were no-shows because the box office ran out of tickets. Add to that, the game was on ABC on National TV - I was not disappointed.

However, I was disappointed with the missed layups and missed EASY shots that cost Connecticut the game. I can tell you the Connecticut is a MUCH better team than they were for their first preseason game. I attended that game, also. And walked away VERY unimpressed.

I think the arena only holds between 9,000 and 10,000 fans.

It looked just like a "Miracle" game!!! They have ALWAYS had loads of potential, but never seem to quite pull it off. I'm hoping that the new venue, coach, & addition of the tenacious Debbie Black will help.

It's too much work for PeeWee to have get them motivated. I'm thinking (hoping) that the combination of PeeWee/Debbie might fire them up!
