By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor I know, this is a bit late for a look back at the Top 10 Indiana athletes of 2012. Forgive me, I was enjoying the ocean, margaritas and 70-degree heat in Key West through the New Year and decided to put this off a bit. There were many worthy athletes […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor A stunning thought hit me as the Indiana Fever handled one run after another by the explosive Atlanta Dream in their season opener. The Fever can score. I mean, really score. They might actually score better than they defend. Huh? In a game against one of the WNBA’s more up-tempo […]
Every time Atlanta got close, Indiana answered. Katie Douglas scored 21 points and Tamika Catchings added 16 to help the Fever defeat the Dream 92-84 on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. It was a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals series, which Atlanta won 2-1. Indiana led by 17 points […]
The Indiana Fever open the regular season at 7 p.m. against the Atlanta Dream. Here are some things to watch for: -Shavonte Zellous will start for just the eight time in her four-year career. Her speed and athletic ability add an important element to the Fever squad. She has averaged 7.8 points per game in […]

Catchings had done everything else in her career — she’s been a gold medalist, NCAA champion, WNBA MVP, five-time defensive player of the year […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana is one win away. The Fever defeated Minnesota 76-59 on Friday night in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals and can clinch their first title Sunday at home. Shavonte Zellous scored 30 points, Tamika Catchings had 17 points and Erlana Larkins added 10 points and 15 rebounds. Indiana […]
From the Indiana Fever INDIANAPOLIS – In celebration of its historic run into the 2012 WNBA Finals, the Indiana Fever will conduct a viewing party and Finals rally with fans this week in Indianapolis. The Fever currently leads the best-of-five-game WNBA Finals series 1-0, with a 76-70 road victory over defending champion Minnesota last Sunday. […]
By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor INDIANAPOLIS — Erlana Larkins is the missing piece. For years, folks thought Tamika Catchings needed another scorer to get her and the Indiana Fever to the highest level. The Fever got her that with Katie Douglas before the 2008 season, and Catchings certainly improved. She was required to do less, and […]
