"Bueckers called her “the heart and soul of the team” – but she also plays with no ego, willing to do whatever the Huskies need her to do on a given night.
So while Westbrook doesn't lead the team in any major categories, she’s fourth in scoring, third in rebounding and minutes, and second in assists and three-point percentage.
“She's settling into a role that she knows she has to have on our team and she's enjoying it,” head coach Geno Auriemma said. “Shoot when you're open. Get the ball to people that are open. Be solid out there defensively. Impact the game in as many ways as you can.”
Against DePaul, Westbrook struggled on the offensive end, making just 4-12 from the field and turning the ball over six times – more than double her previous season-high. Yet she still found a way to make that impact with a career-best 14 rebounds, 11 of which came in the first half."
Big loss if she leaves after this year. On that score I have the feeling she won't go high in the draft and will struggle some with her knee and the rigors of the WNBA.
