Yes.

Closing out their season as they switch over to become the Houston Comets.

But, I mean, you know, very quickly, Kiki Rice ends her season with a career-high 28 points.
Jerome ChengHOST
A lot of the same story, you know, a team that's depleted, some moments that you can pull away from.

Jerome ChengHOST
of Tankathon, we did it, which I guess, like, it's the only case where you can say we did it with a loss.
Jerome ChengHOST
But with their loss to the Connecticut Sun in the final game of the home season, they ended up tying the Sun to become, like, Sun future Houston Comets for the number one odds for the number one pick.
Jerome ChengHOST

Michael SpillinHOST
I want to get also your thought on the Connecticut Sun.
Michael SpillinHOST
They had their final game of their history unless they come back somehow as an expansion team uh but they were in Connecticut man for 24 years they will be the I want to say newly minted I guess Houston Comets next season uh but it was a it was a little bit of a disappointing year for Connecticut we talk about we talk about Haley Van Lith all the time um You know, we talked about Brittany Griner last week, too, on The Wheelhouse, saying how, you know, they were – she's almost been like another coach on the bench, by the way.
Michael SpillinHOST
It seems like she dresses up for games, but she missed a lot, a lot of time this season.
Michael SpillinHOST
But Connecticut no longer a franchise in the W, and they are now officially moving to Houston.
Joe GibbsNARRATOR
Next one.

The Connecticut Sun of the WNBA are moving to Houston and being renamed the Comets.

David LockeHOST
Unfortunately, we don't have Kevin Pelton.
David LockeHOST
He's now working for the Houston Comets, Connecticut Sun, and so we don't have his projection systems.
David LockeHOST
But if we go to the Basketball Reference projection of Ace Bailey, they're projecting that he takes 16 shots a night, which is a lot.
David LockeHOST
Seven of them being threes, which is kind of incredible.
Cari ChampionHOST
And I want to take you back because at one time when the league first started, there was this idea that the Sparks and the Liberty would, from different coasts, create this bi-coastal battle that would take over.
Cari ChampionHOST
But it ended up being the Comets, the Houston Comets and the Liberty.
Cari ChampionHOST
And, you know, there I mean, people tell you about the shot forever.
Cari ChampionHOST
We can get into the shot.
Cari ChampionHOST
But I want to talk about that rivalry just for a moment.
Cari ChampionHOST
When you think about that rivalry that you all had with the Comets, I am curious, is there anything today that could replicate that in your mind with the current teams? No.
Teresa WeatherspoonGUEST
No, in my mind, no.
Teresa WeatherspoonGUEST
It was something totally different.
Jack FarrellHOST
The Connecticut Sun...
Jack FarrellHOST
The WNBA team played their final game yesterday, and that means the Houston Comets are officially back.
Jack FarrellHOST
So hopefully get a nice rivalry.
Jack FarrellHOST
That's a nice rivalry, hopefully.
Cynthia CooperGUEST
I'm the only one that needs to.
Cynthia CooperGUEST
I will say during my era, so I'm not going to go with the Houston Comets at all.
Cynthia CooperGUEST
So during my era, I would say Lisa Leslie.
Cynthia CooperGUEST
Clutch.
