Actually it IS only 4 months - for example BC will go to Australia and play after the WNBA season and get paid to play there and then after that season ends she will (hopefully) play with the Canadian National Team. They do not have responsibilities for their WNBA team after the season ends until Training Camp the next year

Many of them play year-round and the WNBA bridges the gap from the end of their overseas season to the start of the next one. The WNBA has the highest level of competition and is a good showcase but doesn't offer many of them the chance at big bucks.
Its got to feel crazy to go from being "the player" for your whole career to not even getting in the game. It takes some incredible mental toughness to work through a stage like this. You know it is just a matter of time until she comes in and contributes significantly.
That's cool that you get personal satisfaction watching somebody who has been nothing but class fall short in their dreams, all because some online folks got your feelers hurt. You do you, man.
Hope your back's not sore after that big stretch. Megan is a good ball player, but Bridgette is better suited for the pro game. Bluder put a nice team together last yr with enough outside shooters to help her out. She was able to dominate inside but the competition just gets bigger and stronger in the WNBA.
12th player on a good WNBA, short of injures, isn't probably going to play much. Might be a Alison Lacey redux when she was on the Storm roster that one season.
Come on. 99% of us are extremely proud of our state's two best WBB players from this season. If you poke the 1%, you are the problem.
I am glad for Bridget and sad for Megan. Both played hard and ultimately it is coaches decision on who to keep. Aus and BC are fine examples of ISU and being chosen to play on a roster shows their skills and dedication. European and Australian leagues are not a bad gig to see the world - if that is your dream then go for it!
Some research tells me Mohegan Sun Arena is part of a casino/resort. So it's possible to go watch Bridget play, do some gambling, and get blasted without having to go anywhere. Sounds like a CF road trip is in order.
Not to self: Email Lynx ticket guy back and let him know alumni ticket thingie for Lynx/Suns in August is a no go.
Despite being cut before the season, Gustafson has more career WNBA points than every former ISU player other than Frese.
