With the unveiling of the 'We Are Home Court Advantage' banner Wednesday night (8/25/10), the Storm kicked off the 2010 WNBA playoffs with a convincing 79-66 win over Los Angeles. Veterans Sue Bird and Swin Cash powered the home team to their 18th consecutive victory at Key Arena this year in route to taking the first game of this 1st round series. It was off to LA for game 2 on Saturday (8/28/10) where Lauren Jackson put a stamp on her quest for league MVP by pouring in a game high 24 points and 9 rebounds to spur the Storm to an 81-66 win over the Sparks and sweep the series 2-0.

The Storm now move on to the WNBA Western Conference Championship series against the Phoenix Mercury with game one set for Thursday at Key Arena beginning at 7PM. Game two will be held in the Valley of the Sun on Sunday at 12PM, with game three (if necessary) back at the Key on Wednesday at 7PM.  Dick Fain and Adia Barnes have the call for every game here on Alternative Talk 1150AM (or stream the games at WNBA.com) – so let's all cheer on our Seattle Storm in this years playoff run!

The Nebraska Cornhuskers take the field for the season home opener this Saturday at 4PM (3:30PM pregame) against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers right here on Alternative Talk 1150AM.  It's going to be another great year for head coach Bo Pelini and Big Red as they wrap up Big-12 play before heading to the Big-10 conference in 2011. Be sure to tune in and follow the Cornhuskers all year long on Alternative Talk 1150– and let's go Big Red!
