Sireece Bass (again)

Mlive.com/Ann Arbor News had a nice article on Sireece Bass and her battle with lupus. She's one tough young lady.

Last season as a freshman, Bass played in 26 games for the Wolverines and made eight starts.

She's now down to four pills a day and is rarely affected by her disease. She goes full speed in drills.

"Basketball means a lot to her,'' Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said. "She's on the court, she cares, she tries hard. I don't ever see her walking around feeling sorry for herself because she's got something.''

Bass will live with lupus the rest of her life, but doesn't allow it to define who she is or what she is capable of doing.

"She's still pushing and fighting - it's somewhat of an inspiration,'' Whitfield said. " So I can't complain too much because I look at how she handles what's she's had to deal with.''
