The talent that Rhyne Howard possesses doesn’t come around all that often. For Kentucky Women’s Basketball, a player of her caliber only comes to Lexington every 40 or so years. Valerie Still (1979-1983) will forever be known as the greatest female hooper to ever suit up for the Wildcats, but Howard continues to build her already Hall of Fame-worthy resume.
On Thursday night, despite Kentucky falling on the road to Vanderbilt 65-57, the two-time reigning SEC Player of the Year accomplished something that only two other players in program history have managed to pull off. Howard finished with 25 points against the Commodores, settling exactly on 2,000 points throughout her college career.
