Kentucky coach Kyra Elzy appreciates the way sophomore guard Cassidy Rowe can impact the team. She played sparingly as a freshman but Elzy understands what she means to the team.

“Cassidy Rowe is the epitome of what I want every Wildcat to be, she is heart and hustle,” Elzy said. “She won the Wildcat Award this summer.

“I know exactly what I’m getting. She’s going to play hard. She’s a coach’s kid. She’s going to make the right play. She’s gonna empty her tank. I don’t have to worry about anything being left in her body when she comes off the floor.

“But more importantly, her ability to hit the outside shot… she has shot the ball extremely well, which opens up our offense.”

Elzy talks constantly about players being ready for their opportunity when it comes.

“You have to be ready when your number is called. It’s going to take all of us doing our job and everyone playing to their strengths. And in order to play the pace that we want to play offensively and defensively, you are going to need a breather so the next man up so they know they have the opportunity to play which I think keeps everybody on their toes and ready,” Elzy said.
