Ute women’s basketball star Daneesha Provo will play a sixth college season

Utah women's basketball player Daneesha Provo has received a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA, enabling her to play for the Utes in 2019-20 after her college career apparently had ended with a knee injury in January.

Provo played for Clemson in the 2014-15 season, so her standard five-year clock expired in 2019, counting the year she sat out after transferring. A combination of having withdrawn from Clemson for personal reasons in January of her freshman year and being injured in Utah’s Pac-12 opener last season worked in her favor in the eligibility case, the school said.
