Carnival of championship previews:

Six members of the Shock have rings from '03, but veteran Kedra Holland-Corn says their mindset has changed: "When they were young in 2003, it was more of 'Oops! We're here.''Oops! We're there. Oops! We won the championship.' " Bill Laimbeer: "We're more mature, we're stronger and we're smarter." (More mature?)

Katie Smith likes playing alongside Cheryl Ford: "You don't have to worry about the rebounding too much because she can corral most of those."

Scholanda Hoston Dorrell left LSU with three Final Fours, but no collegiate championship: she can get a pro ring now. "“It definitely helps you to forget those three failures in a row. I'm right back at it," says the defensive specialist.
