[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,857]

Helluva weekend for IUWBB.

Indiana Women’s Basketball also added Sara Scalia a transfer guard who averaged 18 ppg. at Minnesota last season.

Poor girl didn't get her own thread when the news of her transfer broke.  I'll move some of the earlier posts about her into this thread.

Like the most unheralded transfer I can remember. She avged 18p a game and was 2nd team All B1G when there were 5 B1G teams in the top 20 all year. 

I mean, to this point in their careers--- she's very much outplayed Sydney Parrish.

She.

Is.

Big time.

[TTT 889]

Scalia is different but some of the shots she makes has some of the amazement of Clark at Iowa.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,933]

Can’t wait to watch this team. Gonna be dangerous. It’s realistic to think both programs start near top 10 in country.

Sara's a stone cold killer

Headed to Italy to play pro ball. 

(Cute puppy!)

Good for Sara.  It seemed that was always going to happen.

Question:  I assume most if not all want to play in wnba.  However, in reality which contract including life experience would be the most fun? (I think when T.Buss played overseas the first experience she did not like it (not exactly sure). and not sure on Cardano-Hillary. Amanda Cahill seems to be doing well playing overseas.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,857]

Great start to her pro career.

Sara looks good -- getting her shot off quickly. 

However, I completely disagree with some of the commentary on this clip!

Sara Scalia was named to the Italian national team in advance of the women's EuroBasket 2025 qualification games (Czechia on Nov 7 and Greece on Nov 10). Here's the announcement on the Italian Basketball Federation site (in Italian, obviously):

Quote

[One of] the main novelties [is] the ... debut with the Senior [National Team] for the Italian-American outsider of [Magnolia Campobasso's] Sara Scalia.

[Translated via Google Translate]

She was 7 of 10 on three pointers for a total of 23 points during Campobasso's last game on Oct. 20. You can follow her game log at the Eurobasket site: https://basketball.eurobasket.com/player/Sara-Scalia/524726
