LAFAYETTE — Although Sylvana Okde established her shooting credentials through two seasons, the search continues for a couple of other things.
Okde, a junior guard for the Louisiana-Lafayette women’s basketball team, came to a jump stop during an open gym session in July last year. She is in the process of recovering from a resulting knee injury and subsequent microfracture surgery.
One thing she is looking for is space — the bit of room that a player with 148 career 3-pointers needs to take the next shot. Many of Okde’s teammates assist her on that mission.
