NEW YORK -- Jewell Loyd has always loved coming up with innovative trick shots.Whether shooting from behind the backboard or through her legs from halfcourt, the Seattle Storms young star has become an internet sensation with her imaginative creations. It started in college at Notre Dame against a friend and grew from there.Wed always shoot it off the wall after a tough workout, Loyd said. Basketball to me is about having fun. Shooting halfcourt shots or trick shots just gets me loose.Loyd also admitted it was a way for her to come out on top against her brother when the two were younger.Wed play horse and it would be my best chance to win, she said laughing.The 22-year-old admits shes a little too young to remember seeing the famous McDonalds commercial that pitted Larry Bird against Michael Jordan, making their own crazy shots for a Big Mac. However, she said she has caught it a few times on the net, which has inspired her. She wouldnt mind doing a remake of it with another WNBA star.Shes inspired Liberty guard Sugar Rodgers, who spends a few minutes after practice trying to perfect her own trick shots .The only rule that Loyd has is that if she cant make the shot in 10 tries, shell stop and try something different.One of her favorite shots was throwing the ball from about 15 rows deep behind the backboad and having it bounce off a trampoline and into the basket. She had a little help from the Storm crew for that one. It only took one take.Loyd hasnt needed too many tricks on the court this season as shes made great strides in her second year. The reigning rookie of the year is averaging 17 points and 3.4 assists this season.I definitely am feeling more comfortable out there this year, Loyd said.She has helped Seattle stay in the playoff chase. The Storm are currently seventh in the standings after routing the New York Liberty 102-78 on Wednesday night.Thibaut Courtois Belgium Jersey .

Weve been the hunters for a long time, (but) we are now the hunted and thats a new role for this team, so were learning how to accept that night in, night out, Schaefer said. I thought tonight we took their best shot in the third quarter and came back and answered it with my best player in foul trouble.Mississippi State (5-0) shot 51.9 percent from the field.Lexi Bando and Sabrina Ionescu each scored 14 points for the Ducks (4-1).In the second half we got back to what we like to do, which is get the ball side, top, side, Oregon coach Kelly Graves said. We had a little bit more motion and flow to our game and that helped, but then we got away from it at the end. They clamped down and theyree a good team.ddddddddddddOregon was called for 27 fouls to 19 for Mississippi State and had three players finish with four fouls.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: has now won 33 of its last 34 regular-season none-conference games going back to the 2014-15 seasons, including 13 straight victories in such games.Oregon: shot just 39.3 percent from the field in the first half, but kept it close by shooting 50 percent (12 of 24) after halftime. The Ducks were playing their first game away from home.HIGHLIGHT REELOregon got within six points of Mississippi State following a free throw by Morgan William that made it 53-47. The Ducks looked to cut the deficit even further when Jayde Woods broke free for a transition lay-up, but Breanna Richardson soared from behind and blocked her shot with just seconds remaining in the period. The big defensive play was a four-point swing for the Bulldogs and helped them regain momentum heading into the final quarter.INFLUX OF YOUTHOf the 14 players that saw court time for Oregon, half of them are freshmen. The Ducks recruiting class, which is ranked third nationally behind Maryland and Baylor, features four players that were Gatorade state players of the year in high school, including Ionescu, last years national player of the year.We grew up a lot tonight, theres no doubt, Graves said. Thats a senior-laden Mississippi State team. Those are veterans and a couple of times we had four freshmen on the floor for long stretches. Theyre just learning how to play the game. Theyre really talented, but physically, were not ready for this yet. That being said, we hung with them for a long time.UP NEXTMississippi State will play San Jose State Saturday, which will mark just the second meeting between the programs and first since Dec. 19, 2004, when the Bulldogs held on for a 66-60 win over the Spartans.Oregon faces tournament-host Hawaii Saturday, which leads the all-time series against the Ducks 3-1.
