| Vadeeva started and has looked pretty good, thus far. She hit a 3 to close out the first quarter! Kursk is leading 25 -16. Faulkner (Chicago) is getting some time for UMMC now.

| Maya with a big chunk of UMMC's points just picked up her 3rd foul in the 2nd quarter. I think Angel was just called for a tech. 24-32 Kursk

| Really poor shot clock management for Kursk during the last 2 plays to end the half. With a Torrens 3, UMMC took the lead 34-35 closing the 2nd quarter. Btw, still no Pipf for Kursk, nor any Toliver or Sanders for UMMC.

The missing UMMC players may well be due to the Russian league rules, which require a certain number of Russians on the court, not just Europeans (which is why Faulkner - now 'Russian' - is particularly useful). Piph on the other hand is presumably hurt, seeing as she missed the ELW games and is herself 'Russian'.
The foul I saw that they called on Maya, possibly her third, was a ridiculous call. And in Ekaterinburg as well! Don't these refs want to get out alive? |

Yes indeed, I'm sure that's what is keeping the UMMC players out. I wonder what kind of injury Prince has. Gooood night, Maya is ridiculous wherever she goes! lol! Nneka was above the rim on that last rebound attempt and the teams are backdooring the heck out of each other.

| Vadeeva is definitely not afraid to challenge BG but she needs to realize it will be hard to power through her. Some good footwork drills would do wonders there.

Whelp, Superteam UMMC takes game one and no disrespect to Cruz but Kursk really needs a point guard who can manage the clock, pass the rock and be an offensive threat...Yikes! There is not a lot of flow to their offense.
Game 2 is Sunday!

I didn't watch the game but looked at the stats (what I usually do). I noticed a couple of things.
Krusk seemed to forget about Petrovic. She has been one of their best recently. Nneka took a lot more shots than usual.
And I am hoping that BG will get those rebounding results while playing against Vadeeva this summer. And anyone else for that matter.

I believe it's 8AM Eastern. I'll definitely post the game youtube streaming link when they post, unless someone locates it first.
sportsfan48: Yeah, I don't know why they went away from Petrovic. It will be interesting to see what they do tomorrow.

| Angel hasn't made it in... I haven't seen her at all. Edwidge Lawson-Wade sighting in the stands. Ummc up 30-18 to end the 1st.

Angel was shown sitting in the stands earlier . . . I don't know why.

Kursk looking a little out of their depth in most of the first. McCoughtry in street clothes, presumably to allow Ciak to play instead, and that hasn't worked.
Thanks for your help finding the game (and noticing when it was on), WfanFrJmp. Now I'm gonna expect you to find where Kursk are broadcasting the next game(s) in the series  . |

If you want to rewatch anything you can use the red bar at the bottom to go back, just like any normal YouTube video. You don't have to watch it all live.

I would tend to agree, especially as Game 1 was pretty close and didn't seem to demand major changes. Of course it's possible that Angel picked up some kind of injury and that's why she's out (my Russian isn't great ). |

Oh wait! Nneka and Petrovic bought in new life. They are only down 12.
Was that Nolan's voice we just heard?

| What the hell are the foreingner rules in Russia these days, anyway? It can't be two Russians on the floor at all times with the Torrens/Moore/Meesseman/Griner/ANOther lineup UMMC go to all the time. Is it at least one Russian, plus max of two non-European? |

I hope she's ok. You're right they are looking very much out of their depth but with Prince, their starting point and Angel out, I suppose what should we expect. I mean, it was going to be difficult anyway... The funny thing is that since UMMC's offense is flowing pretty good, Maya, BG and Emma haven't really had to impose themselves. Torrens has finally found a nice rhythm though.
