Former Sooner Courtney Paris could be teamless in Sacramento.
The Sacramento Monarchs folded on Friday, a shocking and disappointing development for the WNBA and one of its original eight franchises.
The decision was largely based on the Maloof family's desire to focus all its energy and efforts on the NBA's Sacramento Kings. Maloof Sports & Entertainment had owned both teams.
Now, the WNBA is left scurrying to try to find a new owner for the organization and a suitable market: with the most logical place being the Bay Area, perhaps in Oakland or San Jose.
League president Donna Orender said in a statement Friday that the league is in discussions with potential investors to relocate the Monarchs to the San Francisco area in time for next season.

Hells yeah! The Lady Warriors!
Still, the WNBA isn’t a joke. They did pretty well when they first started out. But, when the NBA signed their current deal with ABC and ESPN, it largely limited the WNBAs exposure, and they just haven’t been in any media lately.

I know I enjoyed last year's finals.
Tamika Catching is a beast. Check this bit of info from wikipedia…
A quintuple-double is defined as a performance in which a player accumulates a double-digit number total in all five statistical categories—points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocked shots—in a single game.65 It is unclear whether or not this feat has occurred at the collegiate or the professional level. The only known quintuple-double has occurred at the high school level when Tamika Catchings of Duncanville High School (Duncanville, Texas) recorded 25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals and 10 blocks in 1997.
