Krista Phillips article

Today's Michigan Daily had a nice profile on Krista Phillips.

At 6-foot-6, Krista Phillips is taller than more than half the men's basketball team, a rarity for a female hoops player.

The sophomore center used her height along with her talent to lead all Wolverine freshmen in games played (29), points (8.0), rebounds (4.3) and blocks (37) last season.

It sound like Coach Borseth has big plans for her in the future:
"I don't think we can drop the whole boat on her shoulders and say 'Ok, you go do it,'" Borseth said. "I don't know that Krista, at this point, is capable of doing that. But at some point in the coming years, I think she is going to have to be, and I think she's capable of doing that."
And some good news - it sounds like Phillips is healthy after off season knee surgery:
And this season, Phillips won't have to worry about the nagging cartilage injury that plagued her last year. She underwent surgery over the summer to fix the problem in her knee.
