six minutes that one dancing with the star welcome she has just been fantastic in terms of being an yet again as you see her right there on the frame with all game for Connecticut out of that timeout carington in a row come down the defense and you can't wait till the Edwards a little show comes back middle Carrington a lot of confidence right now for Connecticut Melvin has that of players in the country during her collegiate career at North now Edwards has to let it go yeah I mean she's 0 for four from three but again I mean the pin is nine-point lead here for Connecticut boner trying to add to it as well and that gets lost she gets absolutely and you can see right there on the way up samelson you know you want to run her off that three-point line and the ability to stretch the floor she only played 12 minutes against Chicago toy I'm leave with something on this play for the mystics on a broken play at nine times out it's the first bench Mar Squad yeah M Mo minutes off for B attacking pull up Jay doesn't go con with a rebound decipher where to put the ball with a pass it's what you were saying is the whistle blows here I'll get back at Chicago a really solid bucket there five on the shot clock Walker Kimbro lost her F and it'll be Burton and Walker Kimbro [Music] to boner running the floor and unfortunately right there she put her hands up and instead of putting her hands up you know what she should have done that's why she got the foul she got into the body because her feet were not as she's been struggling a bit from the floor shooting under 30 theistic well she had a season high at Dallas whistle and foul call hold on we're that one didn't say anything I was quiet she splits the pair there little floater look like she was trying to challenge it did did she get a piece with her body I couldn't case here to to win this challenge so now you get more angles to be able to see us so if we don't have a degree I an initiated you'll win it camera angles but that's the best angle to see that there is absolutely no contact you have the ability to challenge obviously in high school you didn't but coach wish they had it now I would definitely love that uh here but we got it with that sh shout out to the video staff as well too for getting him that answer quick enough on samelson because there was no will jump it up and Connecticut will little time B three in the corner two seconds attacking the clock too strong that good energy by the mystics second quarter on D bobblehead here at Esa K [Music] Sam angler that back cut Pat Harris didn't really B fantastic this season Thomas is grabbing at her lower right oh no and Thomas it takes a un locker room after colliding with car Sam setting that screen and just I just looked like it was crosscourt Atkins Rises and connect a 9-2 run here's Harris as she can first on Staley her coach Atkins back to back to get down in the quarter court she can relay enshrined into the mystics Hall of Fame here here in the WNBA well I mean chrisy she's only 64 that's what we're going to say on that but you know there is the mystics organization six on the shot clock spins off Jones could not get that angler look like that could have been a jump ball Emily angler was right maybe it was because she was behind her and that reach in initial up by Atkins Harris Baseline cut and the Finish take away steps into it and knocks it down deflection misses the layup though flips that one up drops it home better CER continue to attack that and an offense to the Suns PR staff she just said that this that Alysa Thomas is complete that one carington that was a really beautiful whistle foul call spin on it boom right into the hands of DJ carrying Sutton attacking nice drop off to Dolson Dolson in transition kic May inside lays it up and INB Edwards draws and then speaking of dropping things off look at that little pitch pass back for game has levels and layers to it and the accepted as a blocking foul is going to be called on Britney inside into the paint but look at the last three games to [Applause] Excellence B 9 32 under four to play here a 39 32 lead inside kicks it Edwards nice little short jumper play quality defense taking charge in that Chicago game IQ of her making that kind of cut off the ball very high P up jumper does KN go underneath the rim boner comes somehow finish Edwards great bounce pocket pass DOL inside s block from caring defensive play of the game chrisy I mean it's the defensive prowess come get that and get it up Sykes attacking lays it up the in bringing a tough and grit to the court as always Steph Dolson whistled for the foul just a 57% free throw shooter but does get the firste here for the last eight games Nelson adota shooting 72 Works off Edwards pull up that one Taps that away ends up though in the corner with Carron that one blow cross with the layup and the kick how about Bonner attacking has it stripped Stephanie white wanted some contact there so she hit her on the a hand on the action to get a touch and shot from the floor six points 13 minutes of [Applause] play syes left that short as message in paint points for the home team a nine assist on 50 GM Mike TBO in post game live with Wes and CH you know they're just steady for for us uh both of them on both with a Defender right in her face you know they're both steady um and they have been J's made both three for three right now you know we got to respect it and we got to adjust disrupt them a little bit more on both on the defensive end you know maybe we can pull this out oh there was an anomaly that D carington knocked in off and continue to carve away here's Dolson gets three-point defense and how they are topel Atkins getting a piece of the paint and boner overhal and now she contests triples mayy answers with a three for Connecticut offensive rebound for Connecticut and it leads to their defense against Connecticut van defensive adjustments made for the home team a 5145 ay from the outside knocking in a couple of triples for Con in transition lays it up and in it's now an 11 plucking that one away like a grape for Mariel Atkin for Connecticut they have an advantage and Sykes is grabbing at her when it comes back down that way and there's an injured she planted in that left foot roll now intended obviously but Bry the frustration there in college dealing with two ACL surgeries not too long ago continues to battle back getting to 100 getting carried off and that's just so tough to see oh boy our Meg McDonald as you see Britney SES giving the fans down in the first half with a leg injury Edwards off the slit nice pass from Van Lou inside Couldn't get that to go and a whistle and a foul but I coached against Bri Jones in high school and I think we had all was not good see I was going to leave it alone and not ask that SL she has in five of seven in the last couple of games for the mystics angler nice rip and pull doesn't go Aben Jones Jones inside extra one angler that falls angler got down low nice little touch and Stephanie reent of a great pass up to that F line extended area and for moreon Emily angler we go to last three years you can have two approaches you can complain roasten when it comes to play on the floor and she said she used to say two years ago she was fourth overall pick her left quad as well too as boner is me and it's been a 72 run since the injury become one of the best defensive teams in the league after the breaks to get your group in the game yeah lots of groups in here the officials correct themselves and say sun angler attacking high off the window this one will that one doesn't go van tracks her those last two and those are shots we've seen her hit as we 17 points Walker Kim thought about it will attack Baseline too strong hopefully it's nothing serious for Britney syes she is M can play chest not Checker ability to score inside Jade melbin seek this game or not I think she has that mindset that she just wants to be on the bench with her second violation see yesterday I asked G TBO hey what do you want to see done when that but no one moved immediately on that one cross from the three-point line t with the little D Burton quickly up the floor attacking Melvin Defenders as we said earlier in the Big 10 four times beast when it comes to anticipation be Dolson returning to the Ball Game angler to the bench has found a way to impact the game in some capacity doubled kicked it Dolson to melbour that three's off the marker Dolson that one rattles home dial it up a little stronger on the defensive side don't that defense out dlon couldn't connect hesitation the floater she has perfected that called and H you could see it all over her body language like come on I know ta her on the arm too bad on that [Applause] but melbin one as we head to the fourth quarter [Applause] [Music] acted to her Harris 3 connects misses the first gets her own rebound kicks it to Burton for three she
