It seems that every year, in every NCAA tournament, there’s a player that steps up their production to help get their team over the hump. For this year’s Baylor team that player is junior center Queen Egbo.
In her last eight games, Egbo has averaged 13.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, along with a whopping 3.5 blocks. Those shot-blocking numbers would slot Egbo in at the No. 4 spot in the nation, and her rebounding average would tie her with Lafayette’s Natalie Kucowski as the No. 1 rebounder in America. As elite as her defense has become, Egbo had a stretch early in the season where she fell off somewhat due to fear of foul trouble.
