Houston’s do-everything, high-motor forward
Bria Patterson brings the kind of glue-guy edge coaches love: in the 2023 season at Houston, she averaged 9.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks while starting 29 of 30 games, and she earlier posted 10.3 points and 5.1 boards in 2023-24 before moving into a staff role after her Houston career. She’s valued for toughness, versatility, and defensive activity rather than empty-calorie scoring — the classic high-IQ, high-effort forward who can tilt a locker room, not just a box score.
