Meet Treasure Hunt, one of college sports best names and an x-factor for Kentucky

LEXINGTON – Kentucky freshman guard Treasure Hunt is more than a great name.

She might be key to the Wildcat women’s basketball team’s chances of making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

“She’s playing with a lot of confidence and one thing that she can do, even when she was trying to transition into college, is she can score,” UK coach Kyra Elzy said of Hunt after the Wildcats received a No. 4 seed in the tournament. “She knows how to put the ball in the basket, so she’s confident in that. I love that she’s helping us rebound, and she will be a big x-factor for us.
