Canada's team!

I'm happy to see the popularity of the WNBA rising with Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in the league. It's good for business because the league does need to make some needed noise. I'm gonna try to watch some more WNBA games.

This game comes on tomorrow at 4PM ET on ESPN, if anyone's interested in watching it, which yours truly will be watching it. The Fever's 2-0 against the Sky this season.

Eh... not sure how to feel about that. On one hand, I get Reese and Clark are the league's "next big things" but at the same time, Chicago and Indiana are a combined 12-19 and are just barely scraping by for playoff contention.

True, but I just watch it because of both women and see how they and their teams do against each other. I love watching competitive matchups.

Oh I wasn't complaining about watching them. I was complaining about obviously overcharging the shit out of fans.

Okay. The pricing of the tickets is ridiculous. Not many people can afford to pay that much money to watch games like this. It shouldn't be like that.

Tie game and a good one between the Fever and Sky at 39 a piece with 4:19 to go before halftime.

 

[Wolverine]

It's halftime and the Fever leads the Sky 46-45.

 

[Wolverine]

Dammit! I had other stuff going on and I missed a competitive ending to the Fever-Sky game, as the Sky won the game 88-87. Well done for the Sky for denying the Fever their third victory against them.

Angel Reese is the truth
