2012 WNBA Season
As originally written by BWBarefoot
I dive back in to covering women's basketball, this time with the upcoming WNBA season.
Once again, national telecasts will be split among ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and NBA TV. These are the only games I will post on this thread. Most teams will have at least some local telecasts, also.
Bear in mind that the league plans to shut down for 32 days due to the London Olympics, so the season probably won't end until just before Halloween. There are also very few broadcasts at the start of the season due to the NBA playoffs.
As always, all times are Eastern.
