Mechelle is back from relaxing with some ice-cold 7-ups, so check out her latest blog entry.

The last two weeks have been sort of vacation time for me, hence not a daily blog activity. However, there are a whole bunch of subjects I will endeavor to get to this week and next, including a long-promised look at Baylor and Texas (I really didn’t forget), a chat with former K-State favorite Megan Mahoney (who is still a pro player, just not in the WNBA), some interesting thoughts of a WNBA fan without a team (still missing the Comets) and a few other things that have piled up in my brain or on my desk.

She also takes time to write about 'ice and Big Syl in Chicago for ESPN.com.

They got to know each other years ago, as basketball prodigies growing up in Florida. It has been only as Chicago Sky teammates, though, that Candice Dupree and Sylvia Fowles have really gotten to know each others' games.

And the 6-foot-2 Dupree realized that she would have to change her game to best mesh with the 6-6 Fowles. She would need to develop a face-up game that included a dependable 3-point shot.

Dupree was 1-of-17 from behind the arc over her first three WNBA seasons combined. This season, she's 18-of-42 (43 percent), already surpassing the Sky coaching staff's hope that she would take at least 40 3-point attempts in 2009.
