Week 4 WNBA Power Rankings

Tonight it is Number 1 vs. Number 2

2008 WNBA.com POWER RANKINGS: June 10
	TEAM (last week's ranking)	W/L	NOTES
1	Connecticut (5)	7-1	Mike Thibault's Sun have won four straight games, including last Friday's matchup against the then-unbeaten Lynx. Tamika Whitmore and Asjha Jones are both playing at an All-Star level and Lindsay Whalen may not be flashy, but she is quietly establishing herself as the league's most reliable point guard. But tonight's ESPN2 game in Minnesota could quickly take away Connecticut's top seed.
2	Minnesota (2)	6-1	The Lynx lost last Friday to the No. 1 Sun, but Minnesota remains the surprise of the 2008 season to this point. They bring a 3-0 home record into tonight's rematch with Connecticut, and with a win they could easily vault into the top spot. The Lynx are a close second to the Mercury in points per game and their offense is firing on all cylinders as rookies Candice Wiggins, Nicky Anosike and Charde Houston continue to impress and with third-year vet Seimone Augustus putting up MVP numbers. There are reports that injured point guard Lindsey Harding will return to practice today, as well.

Whalen/Sun Hand Lynx First Loss

Somehow, you just knew it wouldn't last throughout the season but we fans held out hope. There was some small satisfaction that Lindsay Whalen was a part of our disappointment. 78-77 was the final as the Suns handed our Lynx their first loss of the season.

One small note - Coach Z normally goes with 11 players but cut that down to 9 for this game. The playing time for a few players has dropped some over the past 3 games as the team begins to have everyone define their roles a little better.
