Colorado’s feisty, defense-first floor general
In the 2002-03 season, Maria Billingsley was one of Colorado’s top defensive players and brought high-energy pressure every time she checked in, with the Buffs also trusting her as a senior guard and floor leader[1][9]. She also added real upside as a left-handed, experienced playmaker who had already averaged 7.6 points, 5.3 assists and 3.8 steals in junior college, giving Colorado a guard who could disrupt opponents and steady the offense[13]. If your team wants intensity, toughness, and a veteran who knows how to set the tone, she’s a very strong fit[9].
