Spider of the Week: Genevieve Okoro

Q: How long have you been playing basketball?

A: I have been playing basketball since I was in 5th grade.

Q: What has been the most challenging part of playing basketball with the Spiders?

A: The most challenging part was the adjustment from high school to college basketball play. When you play D1 basketball, you have to adjust to the fact that everyone on the opposing team (and your team) is the all-star back where they come from!

Q: What reasons led to your success in the first half of the game against Miami of Ohio?

A: A reason for my first half success was the transition offense by my teammates. The fact that our team was setting great screens was also helpful.

Q: Do you think you will be able to repeat that success in the next game?

A: Every game is a new game, but I believe we are capable of playing that way every time we step out onto the court.
