list of the 11 3Q comebacks in unrivaled history through jan 2026

list of the 11 3Q comebacks in unrivaled history through jan 2026

I love @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social Elam Ending, but it hasnโ€™t felt like a lot of comebacks, so I checked:

11 of 79 games are 3Q comebacks (~14%)
WNBA 2016โ€“2025 ~15.9% have 3Q comeback

small samples, but I kinda expected the 11 point target to increase comeback wins, not stay around WNBA levels!

I explain WNBA data to 13K+ people on TikTok. Then I taught it in a college classroom.

Here's what surprised me about teaching sports analytics (and why communication matters more than code)

Maddy wnbadata on Instagram: "๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ this started as a Seattle Storm investigation, and turned into a Minnesota Lynx conspiracy ๐Ÿค” where are the Lynx promos? #seattlestorm #wnba" The Seattle Storm and Minnesota Lynx promo conspiracy is a hot topic among WNBA fans. In this post, we'll explore the details of Intrepid Travel's ultimate adventure giveaway and examine the attendanc...

can any Lynx fans tell me if they do giveaways based on in-game events, like missed free throws?

Is the Aces' new bench strategy working?

Should Alyssa Thomas have made those free throws (statistically)?

the AP rookie of the year has been announced (separate from the official wnba award) but maybe that bumps up her chances closer to 98% tbh
