"'The kid', Swanier, delivers her gift'" |

Mohegan
Nobody
would have blamed Ketia Swanier if she ran to the scorer's table when
Sun coach Mike Thibault summoned her to enter the game late Friday …
and kept running. And running. Past the Atlanta bench, down the hall,
up the escalator, past the craps tables, past Irene and Marge playing
the slots, all the way to the parking lot.
Hell of an assignment, this guy Thibault gave her.

Barbara Turner, Connecticut Sun
By Mike Slane
June 2, 2008 - Throughout the season we will look at some of the WNBA's emerging talent and the candidates for the WNBA Most Improved Player award. Previous winners include Sacramento's Nicole Powell, Houston's Michelle Snow, the Miller twins and most recently New York's Janelle McCarville. No matter the reason for their advancement, the player will have shown major improvement over previous seasons.
When you have hit career highs in most scoring categories just six games into the season, chances are you're setting yourself up quite nicely to be considered for the postseason honor. Take a look at Connecticut Sun forward Barbara Turner.
The third-year pro, who was dealt to Connecticut from Houston during the offseason, scored 15 in her Sun debut and reached double figures two more times, including a career-high 17 points - on a career-best six field goals - in a win over the Monarchs on May 24. Her early season average of 10.2 points is nearly four more than her previous best set during her rookie season.

Mohegan - Asjha Jones used to be Connecticut's sixth man, so she's qualified to evaluate how newbie Barbara Turner has taken to that role.
”She has this down to perfection,” Jones laughed. “For me, I wasn't as excitable as she is. She makes a shot, she's screaming and pumping up the crowd.” Jones, not excitable? Jones, who went 120 mph in her first season with the Sun? ”Yeah, but I wasn't like, 'arghhhhh!,'” Jones exclaimed, imitating Turner. “That wasn't me. Yeah, I was going fast, but out of control. (Turner) knows what she's doing. It works for her.”

"Tyler-Merideth...a Griz Forever" |
|
Hollie Tyler has never stopped being a Lady Griz.
Granted, she turned in her Montana women's basketball uniform for good three years ago. But like the proud mammal UM claims as a mascot, Tyler can survive in the wild. Through dehydration, physical duress and radical changes in her environment, her ferocity never fades.
