Rose Nkumu takes on her big season after ‘buying in’ first year

If you ask Marquette women’s basketball head coach Megan Duffy what she thinks of sophomore guard Rose Nkumu’s latest success, she’d tell you she is someone who has “bought in from day one.”

“For her, it was getting to know the college game, the grind of it and get some experience. She has been someone over these last couple weeks where it’s all starting to click” Duffy said.

Nkumu said she has been playing basketball since second grade.

“Once I got to middle school and started taking basketball a little more seriously, I was really motivated to use that as an opportunity to go a really well-known university with a great basketball program,” Nkumu said.
