βIt might not be a bigger level, but itβs more money than Iβve ever made in my life.β
- Arike Ogunbowale, asked how her game-winner compares to other big shots sheβs hit, including one for a national championship at Notre Dame.
Sheβll have to win the final to cash the check, but still.
Arike Ogunbowale bangs in the game-winning three on the jump from the corner, and on her birthday.
One last explosion of noise from the crowd to cap off a fun night.
Grandstand finish up in Breeze-Mist. It was 62-55 Breeze at the end of the third quarter, the target score was set at 73, and it's now 67-67.
Breanna Stewart has led the comeback, and very much does not want to lose this.
Former Japan international and FC Cincinnati designated player Yuya Kubo has announced his retirement, and one of the photos he's used is... a shot I took of him just a week after his 18th birthday in the 2011 Emperor's Cup final.
Pretty sure I know how it got to him all those years ago - neat!

- Kelsey Plum in her on-court interview.
Could barely hear the rest as the crowd was cheering, to further the point.
Kelsey Plum hits the winning three to cap off a 31-point night and send Phantom to the final with an 83-75 win over Vinyl.

18,261 is the attendance in Brooklyn tonight.
It was never going to top Philadelphia because the Barclays Center is smaller. But Philly still gets to say it has the attendance record.
That said, given what New Yorkers are willing to spend, I won't be surprised if tonight grosses more revenue.
No surprise either that Azzi Fudd is in the building.
Alas, Geno Auriemma is not, but Paige Bueckers said she'll be at the regional games in Fort Worth if UConn gets there.
No surprise that Kelley O'Hara is here with Alex Morgan. Stuart Holden and his wife are also here, sat behind them. (They were all just on the big screen.)

More celebrities in attendance:
Sue Bird (but not Megan Rapinoe - I was told she has another commitment tonight, and I presume it's in Seattle)
Issa Rae
Carmelo Anthony
Updates to come, I'm sure...
Names floating around for celebrities at Unrivaled in Brooklyn tonight: Alex Morgan, Jason Sudeikis, Ashton Kutcher, Wanda Sykes.
I can confirm Sykes - just ran into her, and of course sheβs wearing Philly Sisters gear.
A week after Gianni Infantino claimed that βeveryβ 2026 World Cup match is βalready sold out,β FIFA... launched an unexpected sale of 2026 World Cup tickets.
At least 64 of the 104 matches were available, according to fans who sent information and screenshots to @theathletic.com.

Big blow to the Wildcats, who donβt have a ton of frontcourt depth.
Rutgers is moving on from Coquese Washington.
Turning the cash-strapped Scarlet Knights back into consistent winners will be no easy task.

Here it is. The great @eaadams6.bsky.social shot it and gave permission to share it.
(The obvious joke about that was made.)
Paige Bueckers just hit a half court shot in Breezeβs shootaround and ran around screaming in celebration.
There is video on the other site and Iβll try to figure out how to get it on here.
On Matchday 2, a total of 29 teenagers appeared across the league this past weekend, which tied for the most in a single weekend in MLS history.
The 1,456 combined minutes played was also the most ever by a group of teenagers.
