00:03 That's the fever in the sun tonight.
00:04 6 and 1/2 point favorite for the Sun on their home court.
00:06 A total of 167 and 1/2.
00:09 Opening night in the WNBA with the biggest
00:11 superstar coming into it.
00:13 How does this plan?
00:14 An underdog.
00:14 Can we pull the outright upset here, Ben?
00:17 This game on national TV for Caitlin Cork's debut,
00:20 probably going to set historic numbers for a WNBA regular
00:24 season game to start off a season.
00:27 There is going to be so much attention.
00:29 But the right side is favored.
00:30 The Sun, the third best team last year.
00:32 Again, 27 and 13.
00:34 Both the Aces and Liberty won 30 games.
00:36 Connecticut, that third best record at 27 and 13.
00:40 Just to make a point, Alyssa Thomas,
00:42 who has the WNBA career record for triple doubles
00:46 at nine in her career, had five a season ago.
00:51 Caitlin Cork, who had a ton of triple doubles
00:53 during her time at Iowa, I believe 17 or 18 at career
00:57 close, again, she's going to have some lofty numbers
01:00 associated.
01:01 But that's the pedigree that we're talking about here.
01:05 Can Caitlin Cork score 20 in her WNBA regular season debut?
01:10 That's the expectation.
01:11 She had 21 in her WNBA preseason debut.
01:15 Look to the three-point shot.
01:17 That's how she's going to start to light it up,
01:19 or in the assist prop as well, at 7 and 1/2
01:23 for Caitlin Cork's numbers on her debut night.
01:26 But I would expect-- and this is just a thought.
01:29 We don't have a sample size on what Indiana's offense looks
01:32 like with Caitlin Cork running things at the helm.
01:36 But the fever pushed the pace just a little bit,
01:39 like Iowa did last year in women's college basketball.
01:42 If I had a bet in this game, Connecticut
01:45 is the right side to be favored.
01:47 I do like to see some points tonight over 167 and a hook.
01:51 (upbeat music)
