New York City prep player shot and killed

I can't believe how much violence there's been this year involving female basketball players. Now this: Tayshana Murphy was shot and killed early this morning in a case of mistaken identity. She had just started her senior year at Murry Bergtraum High School three days ago, and was ranked 16th at the guard position.

The entire story is so upsetting. I feel sick.

That is so tragically sad. It does seem that so much violence has touched the women's game in recent months. Maybe it was always there, but because the game wasn't as popular, we never made the correlation. No matter what, this is again so senseless. May she rest in peace and may God bless her family.

I don't know what it is either, Gail, but my heart is very heavy this morning.
