The Seattle Storm won the coveted #1 pick in next years 2016 WNBA draft. Just a year after they selected Jewell Loyd with the #1 pick and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis at #3 will they finally leave behind their recent trend of mediocrity? Will the emerald city once again be one of the best cities to play in? Will their loyal fans flock back and fill Key Arena? [Read more…]

EuroCup 2016

by Leave a Comment

eurocupWith a crowded field in this years Euro Cup which kicks off on October 28, 2015 there are several teams who stand a chance to bring home the championship this season. Last season’s Euro Cup champions ESB Villeneuve-d’Ascq and runner up Royal Castors Braine have both moved on to the Euro League leaving the title up for grabs.

There are several heavy hitters participating in this years competition. The club with the most history having won four Euro League titles is Spartak Vidnoje. Rounding out Group A are Besiktas who recently signed WNBA champion, All-star and no stranger to Euro competition Cappie Pondexter, Adani Aski SC, and little known underdogs from the Slovak Republic Piestanske Cajky.

Group B‘s most notable team is three time Euro Cup champion Dynamo Moscow who won most recently in 2013 and 2014.  Also in Group B are TTT Riga who won the last spot in the competition by beating the Flying Foxes Vienna on aggregate in the qualifying round. The other two teams are Udominante Basket and Orduspor Sportif Faaliyetler AS. For both teams this is their second year in the competition.

Several Teams in Group C have little experience in european competition with two teams hailing from Russia. Newcomers from Turkey are  Edirne Belediyesi Edirnespor. With only one season under their belt in the euro cup Enisey Krasnoyarsk Territory looks to make an impact in this group.  Tsmoki Minsk hasn’t faired well in their past euro cup outings and BC Chevakata is probably one of the most experienced teams in euro cup competition having competed in eleven straight.

main hoopThank you for visiting www.womensbasketball247.com! After losing one of the most promising women’s basketball websites, I took the opportunity to create a place where women’s basketball fans can stay updated on what their favorite players, leagues and teams are doing all over the world.

Many fans and players will agree that women’s basketball could use a little more media coverage. Although grateful for the hard work that many journalists, analysts, and tv personalities put into our league and players I want even more people excited about women’s basketball and what we have to offer! I decided to build a site that will not only bring you scores from around the world, but personal stories, blogs, videos, and much more.

Assuring fans everywhere that “there is no off season” for their love of  the game I want you to have the chance to experience all aspects of a female professional basketball player. You will soon realize that many players play year round and although our schedules can be grueling at times our love for the game supersedes any doubts we may ever have about what we are doing! Thank you for all of your support and I look forward to growing the game with you! Make sure you give us a follow on twitter @womensbball247!
