the Bearcats’ versatile, knee-bouncing wing with a scorer’s toolkit
Bellva May was described as a rare junior-college transfer who could hit threes, knock down short jumpers, and attack the basket, and Cincinnati pegged her as a frontrunner for the No. 2 spot in the 2004-05 season after she returned from a knee injury that cost her the prior year[2]. In game coverage from that season, she showed secondary scoring pop for the Bearcats, including a 10-point, 6-rebound effort against Saint Louis and a three-point play in another win[1][3]. If you want a guard who brings shot-making variety, toughness, and some “don’t sleep on me” energy after adversity, she fits the mold nicely[2].
