I don't think she has any eligibility left, does she?
I'll never forget that fist pump she gave on her back after a score against UT somewhere in my foggy past. Anybody got it?
Boy that was fun - ended up watching the whole game ... beginning of seeing the writing on the wall for TN - static defense and stagnant offense. I had forgotten how many minutes KJ played in 2000 and how well she played - reminded me of Ashley Battle in terms of being ripped and a defensive pest with somewhat limited offense.At 11:30 on this tape, Shea defends against McDivitt, taps the ball and dives to get a tie-up. Run the tape out to the 11:51 mark to see a replay of a great Shea fist-pump. It's from the title game on Sunday April 2, 2000 in Philadelphia, btw

And for those talking about platooning - lots of two/three person substitutions replacing the front court or the back court throughout the game in about 4 minute intervals. Tamika/Asjha in Kelly/Swin out - rinse and repeat.
Just one deep, terrific and seemingly unheralded team.That team in particular is an example of a very long bench (and the following year as well) -
Post players - Kelly, Asjha, Tamika, Swin, Stacy, Page, Christine
Wings - Sveta, Shea
Guards - Sue, Kennitra, Marci, Keirsten (injured)
The seniors were Stacy and Page, and they were replaced for 2001 with DT, Maria, Ashley (red-shirted after 5 games) as guards. Morgan as a wing, and Jessica as a post (red-shirted) Keirsten was once again a medical redshirt. Sveta went down in game 19 and Shea in game 30.

I always thought it was a football term. (once upon a time you laced up your pants)Maybe its me, but I always thought the term "Lacem Up" was associated with hockey. For a moment I thought Shea might be playing for the UConn hockey team.
That's a good one, thanksAt 11:30 on this tape, Shea defends against McDivitt, taps the ball and dives to get a tie-up. Run the tape out to the 11:51 mark to see a replay of a great Shea fist-pump. It's from the title game on Sunday April 2, 2000 in Philadelphia, btw

Since Shea can no longer play on this team, I predicting the next in-game team leaders and assistants will be Lou, then Crystal, then Megan. I'm basing this on their overt personality, behavior, communication style and word usage, compared to the same among their teammates. Time will tell. Out on the limb I go.
