In a season that began with improved depth, Wichita State’s women’s basketball team is quickly finding its mainstays.
The plural form of that word may not be completely appropriate. Because of injuries, ineffectiveness and missed practices, junior guard Diamond Lockhart is the only WSU player to start and play at least 18 minutes in all six games.
That reflects on the unrest surrounding Lockhart, but it also speaks to her reliability. She started when the Shockers began the season with a three-guard lineup and has remained while they aim for the most effective combinations.
“Last year I was running the point-guard spot, and just taking on that leadership role and continuing to be the best teammate I can be,” Lockhart said.
