Of the five gallery pictures, three were of Becky Hammon. If there was anything that I didn't expect, it was that Ekaterinburg (2-1) would lose a game in Euroleague. Despite Ros Casares's (3-0) strengths, despite the fact that they are one of the best teams in Europe , I didn't think anyone could beat one of the Russian superteams from the Superleague. However, in front of 2800 spectators in Valencia,...

Ros Casares (6-0) continues its domination of the Liga Femenina in Spain. Today's victim was Cadi la Seu (1-5), and El Ros picked up the win on the road 86-73. Even though this could have been a close game, Ros Casares has never won a game in the Liga Femenina by less than 10 points this year. The box score is here . There's no write-up yet and there are no pictures. I'm sure that members of the Hammon...

Renee Montgomery is trapped between Erika de Souza and Laia Palau. Look at Erika's new hairdo! Ros Casares is unstoppable, whether at home in Valencia or even on the road in another country. Overmatched Vilnius (0-2) had the lead for approximately 91 seconds, and then it was all over as Ros Casares (2-0) got its second big win over another Baltic opponent, 78-48. All the stuff you could want: a box...

Usually, it's Erika de Souza that stacks up all the honors in the Liga Femenina, but this time it's Sancho Lyttle that is bringing home the (mythical) hardware. Lyttle was named the Most Valuable Player of the Spanish League for the month of October. Other awards: Best team : Ros Casares, but who didn't expect that? Best coach : Ismael Canto, the Ros Casares coach. MVP : Sancho Lyttle, definitely....

Becky would've caught that bat, too (via silverstarsnation.com ) A Silver Stars post? At this time of the year? I'm afraid that's what you're seeing, guys. We'll get back to our scheduled Spurs obsession soon, but I thought it would be interesting to know what our gals are up to during the offseason. For those of you who don't know, in women's basketball European leagues (in particular the Russian...
