Good news for Comets fans: Tina Thompson and company closed out their season with a fine win over the playoff-bound Monarchs. Thompson herself scored 31. The game took place last night in San Marcos, Texas, after the reg-season was supposed to conclude, having been rescheduled from this weekend, when Hurricane Ike upended everything in Houston: some Comets still don't know what's happened to their homes.

Bad news for Comets fans: Houston still won't make the playoffs-- and it's still unclear whether, next year, they'll have a team.
