17 Washington to win the Preseason WNIT Antworten

NEW YORK -- There are two weeks left in the regular season and the WNBA playoff picture is quite blurry.Minnesota and Los Angeles have clinched the top two seeds. Who gets the No. 1 is still up in the air. The Lynx and Sparks meet Tuesday night, with the winner getting the tiebreaker. New York needs one more win or Chicago loss to clinch the three seed.After that its wide open, with four games separating fourth and 10th. The league couldnt ask for a more exciting finish in its first season under a new format where the top eight teams regardless of conference affiliation make the postseason.We could easily not make the playoffs, Diana Taurasi said after Phoenix dropped a second straight game Saturday to New York. We need to play with a lot more urgency.While there is a lot of movement among the teams, the AP WNBA power poll had every team remain in the same spot for the first time all season this week.---POWER POLL: Minnesota and Los Angeles lead the way still. A look at this weeks WNBA poll:1. Minnesota (24-5): Getting home court throughout the playoffs would be huge for the Lynx. Also getting to rest some of their aging veterans in the final week would be big too.2. Los Angeles (24-5): The Sparks havent been as sharp as before the Olympic break, but still are finding ways to win.3. New York (20-9): Injury bug has nipped the Liberty, with Kiah Stokes, Shoni Schimmel and Tanisha Wright all hurt. Coach Bill Laimbeer hopes to have them back for the playoffs.4. Chicago (15-13): No team is playing better right now than the Sky, who have won four straight and are making a push for the fourth seed.5. Atlanta (14-14): Consistency has plagued the Dream all season long. They need to put together a few wins to seal a first-round home game in the playoffs.6. Phoenix (13-16): When the Mercury play defense they can beat anyone. When they dont, they can lose to anyone.7. Indiana (13-15): There are at least two weeks left in Tamika Catchings storied career. The Fever would love to extend it further with one more playoff run for their star.8. Seattle (12-17): Good teams win on the road. The Storm will need to do just that to make the playoffs, with three of their final five games on the road.9. Connecticut (11-18): The Sun have a light week until playing five games in the final 10 days of the season.10. Washington (11-17): Huge games coming up against Seattle and Connecticut mean the Mystics control pretty much control their own playoff destiny.11. Dallas (9-21): It really wasnt long ago when the Wings were being talked about as a serious playoff contender. An 11-game losing streak has changed that talk.12. San Antonio (6-22): Not the way Dan Hughes wanted to end his coaching career with the Stars back in the draft lottery again.---PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Elena Delle Donne has been the key to the Skys resurgence. She is the AP player of the week for the second straight time. Delle Donne averaged 28.5 points, six rebounds and 2.5 assists to help Chicago win both its games last week. Others receiving votes included: Minnesotas Sylvia Fowles and Maya Moore, Connecticuts Chiney Ogwumike, Los Angeles Nneka Ogwumike and Seattles Breanna Stewart.---GAME OF THE WEEK: Minnesota Lynx at Los Angeles Sparks, Tuesday, Sept. 6. First place in the league will be on the line when these two teams play. The winner gets the tiebreaker and most likely the top seed in the playoffs.---DUNKFEST: Phoenixs Brittney Griner had her first dunk of the season in a loss to Connecticut on Friday night. Griner now has eight in her WNBA career, the most by far of any player in the leagues 20-year history. She had the one-hand slam off a pick and roll with Taurasi. Scarpe Adidas Springblade Scontate . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187.

"Paul sent me a text this morning, just told me he loved me and wanted to go out and fight as hard as I would any other day," Simpson said Sunday after doing just that. http://www.scarpenmdscontate.it/scarpe-nmd-uomo-outlet.html . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U.

The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. NEW YORK -- Its a few weeks before Notre Dame and UConn face each other and a lot could change before then. For now, the two perennial basketball powers sit atop The Associated Press womens basketball poll.Both teams received 16 first place votes from the 33-member national media panel Monday. The Irish remained the No. 1 team in the poll after knocking off then-No. 17 Washington to win the Preseason WNIT on Sunday. That victory came a few days after a slim four-point win over Green Bay.UConn also was unbeaten on the week, topping Florida State in the Huskies opener before beating then-No. 2 Baylor last Thursday. UConn capped off its week with a victory at LSU on Sunday for the teams 78th consecutive victory. The Huskies would still have to beat two other ranked teams -- No. 18 DePaul and No. 14 Texas before facing the Irish in South Bend, Indiana on Dec. 7. Notre Dame has a bit of an easier schedule.South Carolina garnered the other first place vote and is third in the Top 25. Louisville and Baylor are next in the poll. The Gamecocks and Cardinals square off Sunday in the Basketball Hall of Fame Womens Challenge. Thats nnot the only good game between top teams this week.ddddddddddddBaylor, No. 8 Ohio State, No. 11 Syracuse and DePaul are all playing in the Gulf Coast Showcase over Thanksgiving.What makes this tournament a great tournament is the level of competition top to bottom, said DePaul coach Doug Bruno, whose team opens up against Western Kentucky. You got really strong teams that arent recognized, but are really good like George Washington and Florida Gulf Coast and Western Kentucky. Then you also got the elite nationally ranked teams Baylor, Ohio State and Syracuse.Maryland, Mississippi State, Ohio State, UCLA and Florida State round out the top 10 teams.Michigan State and Gonzaga entered the Top 25 in the bottom two spots this week while Indiana and Missouri fell out. The Zags knocked off No. 11 Stanford on Friday night.
