Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4975900, member: 1131"] If she aspires to a WNBA career, she might reasonably believe that it's necessary to prove herself against stronger competition than the Big East (other than UConn) offers. And she is right that if she can score 20 ppg against Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan, Maryland, and the new West Coast entrants to the B1G, she will be a first round draft pick next spring. You can say, "But Maddy Siegrist was a top draft choice last year coming out of the Big East". True, but she didn't play a lot of minutes in her rookie season, so WNBA general managers might not be ready to do the same thing again with Lucy. It certainly reduces her risk if she can prove herself enough so that they don't have to take that risk. She will certainly get plenty of minutes at Iowa. [/QUOTE]
