Just 5'6", Ivory Latta has carried UNC to new heights

Posted Feb 3, 2006

"I look at [Ivory Latta] and I compare her to Allen Iverson," says UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who watched Latta torch his Huskies for 21 points in a 77-54 Carolina win on Dec. 5 in Hartford. "There is really nothing that she doesn't do well. She can run, pass, handle and shoot. She sees the floor and plays hard. Size to that kid is irrelevant." (Sports Illustrated)
