A college profile not of Candace Parker
Although most have been good ones, it’s nice to see some other ladies get their run.
Candice Wiggins, Stanford’s stellar shooting guard, had a great profile in the Los Angeles Times.
Ask about her most memorable moment from the Tennessee game and Wiggins doesn’t bring up the game-tying free throws she converted with 1:32 remaining in regulation, the 16-foot jumper she made on the next possession or the steal that led to two more foul shots and a four-point lead with 32 seconds left.
The moment that remains frozen in her mind is when she missed two free throws with 16.9 seconds remaining, allowing the Lady Vols to tie the score at the buzzer and send the game into overtime. It’s that brand of mentality that impressed UCLA Coach Kathy Olivier when she recruited Wiggins out of La Jolla Country Day High.
Wiggins was also named USA Basketball’s Top Female Athlete of 2007, so congrats to her. Hopefully, she’ll get some run in Beijing.

I’m a snarky kind of writer, Anonymous.
Most of my college-related content prior to that post was of Candace Parker. I love Candace, by the way, I just realized at the time that I had done a ton of Candace posts.
It’s no hate, believe me.
