Rebecca Lobo stood on the court that began the journey from talented local girl to nationally-recognized basketball ambassador and made her latest moment in the sun about everybody but herself.
Her brief remarks to the 8,103 fans in attendance at Gampel Pavilion for last night's 82-47 victory over nationally ranked Cal were quick to credit her coaches, teammates and the Husky faithful for helping her become the first UConn player to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Then she turned the spotlight onto the UConn legends who followed her to Storrs.
"You are going to have to make room because there are going to be a lot more women's basketball players going into the Hall of Fame," Lobo said before her Hall of Fame banner was unveiled.
