Tanaeya Worden brings instant shot-making pop with Saluki grit
In the 2007-08 season, Southern Illinois guard Tanaeya Worden flashed real scoring juice: 5.8 points per game over 23 games, including a 17-point debut against DePaul and a team-high 18 points at Missouri State, while also piling up 21.6 minutes a night[1][2][4]. Her profile suggests a quick-trigger, fearless perimeter threat who can give a lineup energy and spacing, though the shooting splits show she was still developing efficiency[2][13]. For a team needing a competitive guard who can attack early and isn’t afraid of the moment, that’s the appeal — useful, lively, and a little bit dangerous when she catches a rhythm[1][7].
