When was the last time a WNBA pre-season game was sold out?

 

[GeorgePeeples]

I’ll go with:
22 total points
5 three pointers

 

[ICWestfan]

Over/under on total points? 3-pointers made?

I read an article from the Indy Star this morning and I'm not sure they'll play her the whole game. Looks like Coach Sides wants to look at all the players as well as different lineups/combos.

I'll say O/U 12.5 pts and O/U 4 3's.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

And, 12 assists

Off the cuff without googling, if I was asked if a WNBA preseason game has ever been sold out, my response would be:

 

[Tenacious E]

Over/under on total points? 3-pointers made?

For CC I am going 17 points, with 4 3-pointers and 9 assists.

If I am Sides (making her a huge Hawkeye fan), with Mitchell out I'm having CC play some shooting guard after she is done for the night at PG... Give the people the show they want!

More on tickets. Sales are up 93% compared to 2023, and 9 of the top 10 ten selling away games this year are Fever games. Sales for Fever home games are up 13x...

Years ago my mom was on a flight with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Back when not all NBA teams had their own plane.

A friend is having people over to watch the game down here in DFW tonight. A WNBA preseason game - not something I ever imagined doing.

I imagined it after Clark's freshman year.

 

[IllQChawk]

Can the weather in Texas have any effect on tonight's game. 12 inches of rain in 24 hours is unheard of.

 

[citizenHawk]

Evaluation game for different looks and options. This won't play out like any regular season game, nor should it. The Fever need to make cuts yet, and I'd guess they will be giving those players ample opportunity to show out.

I'd venture the starters will be rotated regularly for the first 2-3 Qtrs and then sit the 4th.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

I'd say play the reserves. First player to drop a pass from Clark gets cut.

Nope - That's 5 hours south of Dallas

Of course. They have just a week to cut 5 players, so she'll need to get a look at everyone. I'd actually doubt you'll see CC play the kind of minutes she did in college anyway, (38 minutes a game). She'll be asked to put more energy on defense, and they have a 9 year vet point guard in Wheeler to spell her, and to play together and let Clark play the two..

I'll take the over on the assist line.

 

[RayRay3454]

Just watched the news here in DFW. The Wings game was discussed for at least 10 mins because of Caitlin. The Mavs playoff game tonight got maybe 2 mins. The Stars who have a playoff game tonight barely mentioned. Nothing about the Rangers

I bought the WNBA season pass. Never thought I would say those words.

Too bad American Airlines Center in Dallas (seats 20,000) is in use tonight. Dallas is hosting the LA Clippers in Game 6.

Caitlin is making you and many others spend money!

Think of all of the little kids wanting her jersey. And when it doesn't fit next year? Mom!!! I need a new jersey!!

And just wait till her signature shoes come out....

License to print money. Little kids growing means an annuity for Nike and Caitlin.

No idea because I just paid out the gate for the app on Roku. Yeah, I'm that rich. They have a phone app too so that may be an easy place to test the freeness of it.

So it's streaming on the WNBA app? I downloaded it, but I don't see a place to stream it other than the WNBA League Pass. Do you need that to watch the game? Or is it free?

When I opened the app, the Fever vs Wings game was right there on the front page. I clicked on it (20 minutes ago), but it said the game has not started, yet.
