| Game 1 West Conference Finals: Seattle (2-0) v. Phoenix (2-0) | Fri, Sep 3 01:01 AM |
| STORM WINS: And another goose egg is gone with Seattle getting its first postseason win against Phoenix in a 82-74 decision before a sell out crowd of 9,686. The Storm lead by as many as 15 but if it weren't for Wright being aggressive in the fourth quarter, drawing fouls and making half of the ensuing FT attempts, one of the Mercury's other stars may have helped them win the game. Taurasi fouled out with 54 seconds remaining and shooting 2 of 15 from the field. Dupree led her new team with 15 points and 11 boards for her second postseason double-double. "Phoenix controlled it a little more than we did, they wanted us to play slow, they wanted us to think and not be aggressive," said Abrosimova of how the game started. "When we're aggressive, we're really dangerous. By (them) not defending us hard, we couldn't really read the defense. They kind of stood in front of us and (said) you do it, you figure out what you want to do. So, sometimes you have to take the ball and go to the basket and create." Wright did just that and scored all nine of her points in the fourth quarter to stave off repeated challenges by the defending champions. Abrosimova's six in the third were key in keeping Seattle lifted. The star, however, was Jackson with her 23 points and career playoff-high 17 boards - also a franchise record. Jackson, who was honored with her MVP award on-court, too, said the day was draining and that she was looking forward to having a glass of wine to relax. "From the middle of the first quarter to the second, she was really doing some damage inside," Agler said of the Aussie. "She was feeling it. Obviously everyone got tired. I think both teams were tired out there. Some people lost their legs and when that goes, sometimes your offense goes." Yet, you can always play defense. And the Storm's defensive effort held the Mercury to their fewest postseason points since Game 1 against Los Angeles in 2000. The Storm has Friday off and will travel to Phoenix, practicing there on Saturday. Game 2 is scheduled for noon on ABC. Crazy thing, if Seattle sweeps, it would advance to the WNBA Finals before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between No. 4 seed Atlanta and No. 1 seed New York begins Sunday evening. "Game 2 is going to be even more difficult," said Bird, who finished with 10 assists on Thursday. "You never know what's going to happen." | The Seattle Times: Huskies |

| Washington Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) | Wed, Sep 1 12:50 PM |
| Washington coach Steve Sarkisian has said since the day he became coach at Washington in December 2008 that he doesn't expect the turnaround to take very long. A 5-7 record last season in his first year appeared to get the train going on the right track. Now his second year begins with a golden opportunity for a significant breakthrough as the Huskies open on Saturday at Brigham Young. UW hasn't won a road game since beating Stanford in November of 2007, a nasty streak that Sarkisian knows the Huskies have to stop to make anything of this season. And while BYU may not quite have the expectations or experience of the squad that went 11-2 a year ago, beating the Cougars would arguably be UW's most meaningful win in years. It also has... | Yahoo! Sports - NCAA Football - Washington Huskies News |
