Exceeding many expectations during the 2008 rebuilding season, the Sun are looking to come back even stronger in 2009. There is no reason to believe the Sun will not contend for playoff position. During the first six seasons the team has been in Connecticut, the Sun have tied the highest winning record of any team in the WNBA during that time period, posting a record of 127-77, translating into a winning percentage of .623. The Detroit Shock has the same exact record for those six years. That success has reflected itself in the team's attendance, which has surged from 6,025 in 2003 to 7,644 in 2008. (*)
