WNBA Coach of the Year praises Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever: "They don't fear anyone"
Ahead of Wednesday night’s match-up between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever, Sun head coach Stephanie White praised Indiana for their growth this season.
The two teams have faced off three times already this year — Connecticut emerging victorious all three times — but White noted that the team they’re facing today is a completely different team than the one they played in May and June.
“Anytime you’re a young team that’s that’s really growing into yourself, the understanding of one another, the timing, the pace, the connectedness just wasn’t quite there early,” White said of Indiana. “It’s there now.”
The Fever began their season 1-8 and seemed destined for the lottery. But, they turned things around in mid-June, and have won 11 of their last 17 games. They now, ave a 2.5 game over the Sky for the #7 seed. If the playoffs started today, the Fever and Sun would face off.
