European professional women's basketball teams do not get much attention from the media. So it was a pleasant surprise to find two videos of Jillian and Brooke playing for Pool Comense in Italy.
This video features Jillian in one of the Italian A1 League playoff games. You can catch occasional glimpses of Brooke (#14) and learn that air ball in Italian is air ball.
This video is of the closing moments of a mid-season game in which Pool Comense, wearing its home pink, defeated Umana Reyer Venezia 67-66. Brooke was the star of this game — she scored 25 points. At 1:06 into the video, Brooke makes the go-ahead shot. On the next play, Jillian blocks Laura Harper's attempted winning shot, then Brooke blocks her second attempt, then "Arriba!" Comense celebrates its victory.

Wow, that's my video!! (The first one) I travelled to Como from Spain just to see Jill, and so during the game I filmed some videos of her, like those two I posted together on YouTube. I actually had the chance to meet her after the game and I could talk to her and all that, she's so great!!
Thanks for posting my video here!! :)
