| Should we include those who are playing in Division I, but has a sister who is out of college ball, such as playing in the WNBA or elsewhere?

Meg Bulger isn't playing at West Virginia any more, and Ben Roethlisberger isn't in college anymore either |
Neither is Heather and Heidi Burge, Heidi and Gwen Gillingham, or Donna and Bonnie Gill. |
Or Jennifer and Peggy Gillom

and yet no one has said Kelly and Coco Miller
or Camille and Miriam Lowe or Kara and Kim Braxton (All played at UGA)
Ashley Houts' older sister, Emily played for UTC two years ago.
If you go for siblings, Megan Darrah's brother is a QB at Bama and Porsha Phillips' brother, Brandon is the starting second baseman for the Reds.

Yeah, one got pregnant, married, and headed back to Cameroon. It was a shame, too, because they were both very good at the JUCO level.
Arizona also had the Neabors sisters.

Tamika Williams (now Raymond) played at UConn, before going to her WNBA career. She once worked as an assistant at Ohio State, and now does the same at the University of Kansas.
Her younger sister, Tiffany Williams, used to play at Fresno State during her freshman year, but later transferred out of there. IIRC, she now plays in a historically black college/university in the South, but I don't remember the name at the moment.
An older sister, Tanzania Williams, is currently the Director of Women's Basketball Operations at Ohio State.

yea it was a good show, I remember watching it, I admit the first time I watched it because Tamika Williams was one of my favorite players in college at the time, and it had mentioned her or something, so that's why I started watching lol, but after that I enjoyed watching the show, it was pretty cool as it followed them through practices, games, travel, etc

I know for sure that two players from that show play collegiately. Aisha Jefferson of Michigan State, and Maria Getty of Villanova.

that's cool, thanks for the updates on some of the players, based on the stats they seem to be doing well there, do you know how they are doing? are they potential WNBA prospects?

Now that there have been a lot of sisters listed both past and present, which group of sisters do you think is the best of all time.
I think Pam and Paula McGee rank among the top sister duos in NCAA history. I never got the opportunity to see them play in college, but based I what I have read about them they were the real deal and they helped lead USC to back-to-back NCAA titles.

| Adding another set to the list, Sky Lindsay, sophomore at St. John's, has an older sister, Candice, who played at Fairfield- there might have been a year's overlap, but I'm not certain of that. Supposedly, two of our frosh, Da'Shena Stevens and Elón Sidney, have b-ball-playing sisters, but since the sisters aren't in college yet, they don't count.

| seems like this thread morphied from current to past, but for me there was always the Mendiola sister at the University of Washington. I remember a day game, something to do with pack the house, kids' camp day, where Guiliana put up something like 44 against UCLA. It was one of the craziest atmospheres I have ever been associated with.

Ah yes, Giuliana and Giocanda Mendiola.
Gio, IIRC, was involved in a brawl between the UW Huskies and another Pac-10 team (don't remember which) when she slapped an opposing player after the post-game high-fives.

Wasn't there a huge issue between the Mendiola's, their brother and Diana Taurasi when they were all in high school?
