Euroleague Results

Nadezhda Orenberg 82, Halcion Avenda 63. What a difference Betty Lennox makes! After not winning a single game in Group A of Euroleague, Nadezdha (1-6) finally defeats a Halcion Avenda (5-2) team that beat them in Spain. About 2,500 spectators got to see Betty's debut.

Shameka Christon led all Nadezhda players with 20 points and six rebounds. Betty Lennox had a fairly decent game for Nadezhda - 17 points on 24 shots. At least, it's better than a lot of debuts after extended layoffs. (However, a poster at RebKell notes that most of Noox's points were garbage points, scored when Nadezhda was up by 15.)

Le'Coe Willingham led Halcion Avenda with 16 points. Other American/NCAA/WNBA performances were by Donette Snow (7 points) and by Paula Clocan (2 points).

Ros Casares 88, Prague 69. Erika de Souza remains injured, but her team climbs to 5-2 in Group B, getting a little closer to mathematically securing a spot in the second round.

Union Hainaut 80, Sibenik 69. Union Hainaut climbs to 3-4 in Group B with three games left, and 3-4 is good for third place when you have Ekaterinburg and Ros Casares in your group.

Five players scored in double figures for Union Hainaut, including Bernadette Ngoyisa with 17 and Chioma Nnamaka with 10. Constance Jinks scored 24 points for Sibenik, with Kerri Gardin pitching in 11.

(Old) Breaking News: Betty Lennox to play for Nadhezhda Orenburg

Speak of the devil. As soon as I start talking about Russian Superleague play, it appears that Betty Lennox will be playing for Nadezhda Orenburg. This was announced in the "Where Are They Now?" section of the Dream website on November 20, 2008.

The only American teammate that I know Betty will have will be Shameka Christon of the New York Liberty. Nadezhda is 3-3 in Russian League play. They will play again on Sunday, November 30th against Dynamo Kursk (1-5). Of course, with 7-0 CKSA Moscow theoretically shutting down, it's untelling what will happen with the schedule.

This leaves Katie Feenstra as the only player active as of the end of the 2008 WNBA season who is not signed up to play somewhere.
