Six-Month Injury Blow For Phee - LITE

Hey, Hoophead!

Sadly, we won’t see Napheesa Collier hooping for the next six months. After a season already marred by injuries, watching Phee go down again was heartbreaking for fans. Meanwhile, college hoops kicked off the new year by choosing chaos. Upsets were everywhere. Some you could see coming, others absolutely not. Michigan, Maryland, and Notre Dame all took hits. But if one loss stung more than the rest, it was LSU’s first loss of the season.

Wednesday’s Poll Result: Around 35% of you feel LSU won’t make the Final Four, and a good chunk of you are still on the fence about UCLA, too.

We officially have the tallest player in women’s college basketball.

Texas Tech’s women’s program has signed 7-footer Stephanie Okechukwu, and yes, she’s every bit as towering as that sounds. The center from Nigeria reportedly owns a 7-foot-4 wingspan, and Texas Tech didn’t waste time showing it off. There’s already a picture of her on their site, casually palming two basketballs at once.

Whether Okechukwu is cleared to play immediately will depend on NCAA approval.
