You know, I don't know why we have to have articles like this. It doesn't seem to do anything other than create pressure for an incoming freshman. To say she's 1 for 6 or 1 for 9 only creates an atmosphere where everything is microscopically analyzed. What is the follow-up story? Her lunch food choices, her cell phone minutes, the kind of shampoo she likes?

She needs for this to be published. This will be part of her life for as long as she continues to play basketball. We are still a very young team and we will need her to step up and not play like a freshman. That means not treating her like one as well. She has to learn to deal with the pressure.

Right. Because high pressure tactics worked so well for last year's team?
