Editor's note: Charlie Creme, Graham Hays and Mechelle Voepel each vote to determine espnW's national player of the week, which is awarded every week of the women's college basketball season.
The best-known Latvian in basketball, New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis, is scheduled to have knee surgery Tuesday. Left to carry the flag for that Baltic nation on the basketball court, Kitija Laksa took apart No. 13 Ohio State on Sunday with a jump shot every bit as precise as a scalpel. She didn't even bother with anesthetic.
Porzingis can hope he fares better than the Buckeyes.
