They both stand 6-foot-1 and bring a dynamic guard-forward combo skill to Western Kentucky. Brown had the ability to take complete control of a game and Givens is showing early signs of the same strength.
Now a redshirt junior in a consistent starting role, the comparison to a recent WKU legend is a weighted expectation Givens embraces.
Through 11 games, Givens has become the most dynamic player for the Lady Toppers (5-6). She leads the team in scoring (19.6 points per game) and minutes played (30.5 per game). She’s also WKU’s best free-throw shooter with a 93 percent success rate at the line and most aggressive defender with 31 steals.
