Cukurova bounces back after their rough loss from a week ago
The Cukurova have managed to solve their problems from a 54-point loss to a 5-point win over the TTT Riga. As Nia Coffey made great progress on defense with 9 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks. Meanwhile, Leonor Rodriguez leads the team in scoring with 15 points. With their .500 record (2-2), will they solve their rebounding woes as they acquire LaToya Sanders, Morgan Tuck, and Alex Bentley?
And there have been new signings. Like Marina Mabrey with the TTT Riga. Natalie Achonwa with the Bourges basket, joining her former Fever teammate Marissa Coleman, and more to come.
I’m very excited to share more opinions about WNBA stars in EuroLeague Women in the next few weeks!
