It is often said in sports, that “if you f*** with the game, the game will f*** with you.” Last night provided ample evidence of that. Inexcusable. Watching the first minutes of the game, it felt like the Storm was more interested in proving they could take threes, than actually winning the game. The only enjoyable takeaway for me was seeing Emily Engstler play like she did at Louisville. Otherwise, that was two hours of life I’m not getting back.
She was vintage Emily: grit, hustle, effort and barking at the refs. She's never the most talented or athletic, but she always gives her best effort. She made Jeff Walz proud last night...
Disappointing given I thought a run in the first five games post break would help them.
I don’t understand the coaches challenge on the SDS trip. Time outs are gold in a close game and the chance of winning it was slim.
Sitting on the ball with 55.7 seconds to go made no sense to me. Why not toss something up or at least push it since you will get a second chance with 15 plus seconds left.
But they woild not have been in that position if they showed up to play.
Dispirited! Me and the Storm players. At least Sky took full responsibility for her failures. The team did not play at all up to their potential, but neither did they have good plays. How much longer does Quinn have?

She out hustled the Storm.

Embarrassed and outhustled is right on target.

It looked like some people spent the week at home partying.
