To have coaches that believe in you and that trust the fact that you can go out there and do it every night, and then to have players who are just as talented as you are but are willing to sacrifice their game for the betterment of the team to get me open, that that meant a lot,” he said. “So I share this with a lot of those guys.” I just wasn’t making shots,” Hawkins said. “They did nothing defensively to disrupt me. I just wasn’t myself. Wasn’t making shots.” There were others, though, so many others — from Hawkins and from Newton and from Joey Calcaterra, who had first walked down the tunnel. He used his jersey to cover his face.

Prior to that day, Hawkins and her sister had never played organized sports, but that experience served as the starting point of their basketball journey. We were walking through the grocery store and a man came up to my mom and was like, ‘Wow, your girls are tall. How old are they?’” Hawkins recalled. “And when my mom told him, he was like, ‘I have a basketball practice, you should bring them down to try out.’”

It was just one of those memorable nights when the coaches know you’re hot and your team knows you’re hot and they just feed you the ball, so you take advantage of it.” UConn spent the night in the city, set to return to Storrs on Saturday.

But, it was the University of Maryland that would ultimately catch Hawkins’ attention.

But I thought on Hawkins, O-Max Prosper, and whoever on our team, did a phenomenal job. We can beat UConn with their bigs scoring some 2’s around the basket. We can win the game like we did tonight. I don't know if we can beat them if Hawkins goes and makes five, six threes, and Calcaterra and guys are making.” In addition to the uniforms, Nike also is releasing a suite of products in team colors -- vests, T-shirts, pants, hoodies and more -- for players to customize their on-court and off-court looks, as well as a Team 13 collection -- the first WNBA fan apparel collection offered by Nike.
