Rumors about Schedule, WNBA Lottery

From JRae at Rebkell:

I was called by my season ticket rep today and she told me that the Draft Lottery will be held on dec 3rd or 4th and that they were also going to release the wnba schedule sometime in dec as well. I thought it was weird that they were releasing the schedule so early but then again I havent paid attention in past seasons so i really have no idea when they usually are.

If the WNBA releases a schedule, you can be damn sure I'll post it.
