Yet another example of a Junior College player making the best of a second chance: Middle Tennessee State's Amber Holt.

Holt leads the nation in scoring (27.1 pts a game), set the new school single-game record with 44, and has scored 570 points — 198 shy of Chrissy Givens' single-season record of 768.

"I think she'll be a first-round pick in the WNBA draft — maybe even in the first 10 picks," [head coach Rick] Insell said. "I think when they go down the line and look at what Amber Holt can do — she can play the two, three and four — if you're putting a team together or you've already got a good team, she's the type of player who can rebound, run the floor and knock down the 3. Then she can take a guard one-on-one and break her down.

"Tennessee puts (Nicky) Anosike and (Candace) Parker on her, and she gets 28 points. Maryland put (Crystal) Langhorne and (Laura) Harper on her and she gets a double-double. You look at the people she's gone against and her basketball IQ is amazing.

Side note: Off the court, Holt has got to be one of the shyest, most self-effacing players ever. I was impressed the writer got as many quotes out of her as he did.
