Jeré Longman story on South Carolina and A'ja Wilson

[wbball novice]

In the New York Times online:

A’ja Wilson and South Carolina Seek a Title With No Asterisks

Including some bulletin board material from Lexi(e) Brown:

“I think A’ja’s thunder was a little bit stolen last year because they weren’t the team that took UConn down,” said Lexie Brown, a Duke guard who is friends with Wilson. “If you weren’t an avid women’s basketball watcher, you probably thought Mississippi State won the national championship.”

Pretty solid article. Good to see writers say that our UConn women's program is the standard vs other writers saying how our UConn program is bad for the women's game of basketball.

I consider Longman to be the best sports writer in America. Years ago, I began reading his articles out loud to my young children because his prose was so beautiful. A joy to read his articles.
