Nebraska’s bruising paint anchor with reliable two-way production
In the 2000-01 season, Casey Leonhardt was Nebraska’s most consistent threat, averaging 12.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game while ranking among the Big 12’s top players in all three categories[1]. A 6-foot-5 center, she brought interior scoring, rebounding, and rim protection, plus the kind of steady, hard-nosed presence coaches love: she scored in double figures in 21 of 30 games and produced six double-doubles that season[1].
