Two weeks ago, the Connecticut Sun, a team easily identifiable as the hotbed of Maryland women’s basketball alumni in the WNBA, were eliminated by the Las Vegas Aces in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
After spending over three months in what was trademarked as the “Wubble” at IMG Academy’s campus in Bradenton, Florida, former Terps Alyssa Thomas, Brionna Jones and Kaila Charles saw their season — easily the most unusual in league history amid the COVID-19 pandemic — come to a close.
As one would expect, the entire team echoed its disappointment with falling one game short of reaching the Finals for the second straight year.
