When the women's tournament begins in a little over two weeks, the University of Oregon and star guard Sabrina Ionescu should generate a lot of attention. She led the Ducks to last season's Final Four and was named national player of the year.
"She's changing the game," says Graves."There's no player in the history of college women's basketball that's getting the attention she is.""She's getting crossover support from some of the greatest men's basketball players in the world. Icons...and that just does not happen," he says."So she is, I think, making an impact for our sport that I think will be long lasting."When you hear a cheer, normally that means someone scored.
Oregon coach Campbell confirms that Ionescu's greatest skills are her passing and court vision. He was the first college coach to watch her, when she was a skinny 9grader in Walnut Creek, California. Campbell remembers a player flying around the court in a saggy basketball jersey. "It's funny now," Ionescu says,"I wish I could go back and just tell those people they had made a mistake."
