The junior has been the nation’s best player from day one and, frankly, it hasn’t been close…in transition or in her ability to get to the free throw line (where she shoots 83.5 percent), no one is Loyd’s equal.

Muffet McGraw

She’s a phenomenal player. She makes key shots. When the shot clock’s winding down, she makes difficult shots. That’s what a great player does and that’s why she’s one of the best players in the country.
