More than 350 women with a bounce in their step tried out on Saturday to be cheerleaders for the Brooklyn Nets — but the vast number went home unhappy.

About 50 women received callbacks for today. From that group, about 30 will try out for the half-dozen slots.
And, of course, several local journalists donned their tightest sports bras and courtside-worthy Spandex to try out, too. Daily News reporter Amanda Mikelberg looked the part, but didn’t make the cut.
