What does [Missouri transfer]Kyley Simmons add?
She’s a really good point guard. She’s a really good leader. We’ve had good kids here, but they haven’t always known how to lead, and she’s a good leader. Now we can say, “Follow Kyley. When we’re not in the gym, do what Kyley tells you to do.” She’s a leader; she’s a go-getter. She believes in herself and has that self-belief that “I’m getting this done.” She just has so much energy. Every day she comes in with joy and is so excited to practice. She wants to be in the gym all the time. |

Is women’s basketball, as a whole, in good shape?
I think so. I don’t think the game is broke at all. It’s just a different world we live in today. There’s so many more choices with entertainment that there’s going to be more of a battle getting fans. The Big Ten drew extremely well last year. We had crowds last year. We lost six straight, then we come home and we’ve got 3,000 people there. If we build this, they’ll come. |
