Indiana’s steady forward from the early-2000s Hoosiers
In the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons, Carrie Smith was a 6'1" forward for Indiana and continued into the 2005-06 and 2006-07 stretch as a reliable veteran presence, with game coverage noting she could provide a spark off the bench and hit timely shots for the Hoosiers.[1][2][3][4] Her value appears to have been less about headline stats and more about poise, floor-spacing, and toughness—exactly the kind of glue player coaches trust when a game gets scrappy. If your team needs a smart, low-drama forward who can slide into a role and make winning plays, Smith fits the bill.[1][3][4]
