Alana Goes Commercial. This evening, while catching up on the local TV news, the BasketCases were surprised to see a familiar face, that of the Mystics' own Alana Beard, doing a commercial for Cox Communications, a cable TV and Internet service provider and a sponsor of the Mystics. Alana was in her Mystics uniform, on a basketball court, and showing her best defensive moves as she described how Cox Internet blocks pop up ads and other unwanted intruders as easily as she blocks opponents' shots. The commercial was obviously filmed before Alana sprained her ankle in L.A.; the BasketCases hope it's not the only appearance by Alana in uniform this week!
