Absolutely great.” "She’s still not 100 percent physically and is working to get into game shape (she last played in March 2019). Westbrook says she still has good days and bad days with her knee. But there’s no doubt she’ll be looked upon even more this season as one of the team’s few players with two years of collegiate playing experience. As Tennessee’s starting point guard her sophomore year, Westbrook led the team in scoring and assists. From what he’s seen, Auriemma thinks he’s got himself quite the player when she’s a full go. “Man, her competitiveness just really stands out,” he said." [/QUOTE]
