WNBA preseason tourney to feature local stars

When the WNBA announced the four preseason games being played at Mohegan Sun Arena on May. 4 & 5, I'm not even sure I put it in my blog.

Well, after Thursday night's draft definitely added some juice to that event since former UConn star Moriah Jefferson and former Hillhouse star Bria Holmes could play their first WNBA games in Connecticut.

The first of the four games will feature Jefferson's San Antonio team playing Holmes' Atlanta squad at 5 p.m. on May 4 followed by the new-look Connecticut Sun squaring off with the Chicago Sky at (about) 7 p.
