You mean if I yell a little bit louder, I could get a seat on the girls bench too?

We need Bigs!

We need Bigs!

Who are the non players sitting with the team and what are their functions

I think one is Westbrook, the transfer from Tenn. ( she will be a huge addition next season, assuming good health ). Another is that player who transferred from Kentucky two seasons ago, and is always recovering from an injury ( Batouly?)
