Mechelle on the Sun:

Admittedly, the Connecticut Sun might not be the first choice for the average women's hoops fan seeking a rooting interest this WNBA season.

With UConn having won 78 games and two NCAA titles in a row, plus the UConn-heavy presence on the U.S. national team coached by Geno Auriemma, plus a defending champion WNBA squad led by Huskies legend Diana Taurasi … well, it's understandable if the rest of the women's basketball world has a little (or a lot of) Nutmeg State fatigue.

Yet there are reasons to overcome that and appreciate what could be a championship-chasing Sun season.
