Sophomore forward Cate Reese had a rough time in the Rocky Mountains, with her on-court struggles being the least of her worries.
A Type 1 diabetic, Reese was hospitalized twice on Arizona’s road trip after her blood sugar surged to unsafe levels. If left untreated, she could have suffered a seizure.
“We didn’t know why,” coach Adia Barnes said Wednesday. “We didn’t know if it was the elevation, the travel, the stress, or fighting the flu or something. She went to the hospital (Thursday) and then played on Friday, which we weren’t even sure if she was going to be able to play.
