I must admit that I haven’t always been a fervent fan of women’s college hoops or the WNBA — something as a female sports journalist I am reluctant and embarrassed by.
But this year’s potential NCAAW tournament really excited me. I’ve always respected the women’s game because those girls can shoot and guard like nobody’s business. Now throw Oregon guard Sabrina Ionescu into the mix, and I’m hooked.
She has always been great, from being named the national player of the year by both USA Today and Maxpreps after her high school senior season to bringing the first Naismith Award to Eugene, Oregon.
