Bird re-ups with Seattle

Looks like those rumors that former UConn star Sue Bird would land in either New York or Connecticut after her contract with the Seattle Storm expires can be put to rest now that the Syosset, N.Y. native signed a six-year extension with Seattle.

Speaking of the WNBA, the Connecticut Sun's playoff hopes were not aided by tonight's results with Detroit beating New York 94-87 in overtime and Chicago defeating Indiana 86-79. The Sun, who play at Atlanta on Friday before hosting Indiana in the regular-season finale, is currently tied with Washington for fifth place. Connecticut is 1 1/2 games behind third-place Detroit and a 1/2 game behind fourth-place Chicago. With the possibility of five teams finishing tied with 17-17 records in the Eastern Conference, it will take somebody with more mathematical expertise than me to figure out all the scenarions.
