She started due to Diamond Miller's knee injury. Miller's out indefinitely, so Bridget might continue to start in the near future.

Miller had her knee scoped and is likely out 4-6 weeks. Carleton starting again tonight.
Martin and the Stanford mugger have been two big surprises to me. I didn’t think either would translate to the pros that well. Im def being proven wrong.
Martin has really surprised me. Don't think any of us had her as an 18th overall pick and than making the roster of the defending champs and than playing 20 minutes in a game and not just a minute or two in garbage time. I knew she was a good player and liked her game but underestimated the value a WNBA coach would place on a very smart Swiss Army Knife player.
It reminded me of when MJ first left the NBA early and the fans voted BJ Armstrong onto the All Star team (he was my favorite player as a kid but all star was a stretch). Seems I was wrong.
Martin is a very good player who knows the game and her talents, very good spot up shooter from three and hustles on defense and not afraid to mix it up. Right now the Aces have a number of injured players so she is getting playing time and doing a good job.
Not all of those attributes she showed in her role at ISU although it was more of the role she seemed to play on her Canadian national teams going way back to U19 and all.
If Carleton had some support and more playing time early in her career, she would have had a better stat line now.
She was definitely an underrated part of Iowa's success the last two years.
True. I always said how Iowa's “supporting” cast went is how the team went. Martin was key to all of the success Iowa had. She played defense and was a dangerous shooter.

Watching the Linx game. Some little differences in the WNBA vs college. In the WNBA the visiting team wears white while it's the home team in college. And in the WNBA the teams play on offense in front of their bench in the first half rather than the second half like in college. Makes it a little confusing for me.
And they just called a defensive 3 seconds in the lane???

On uniform colors - there is no standard in WNBA on who wears what color. It may be that the home team chooses an color and visitors have to adjust but not sure about that.
