Memphis forward Laquawanda Sippio: a steady, low-usage veteran presence
Laquawanda Sippio is listed in Memphis women’s basketball history as a 5-11 freshman from New Orleans who played in 23 of 30 games in the 2008-09 season, with flashes as a role player: four rebounds in a game at Rice, a blocked shot at Tulsa, and a career-best two steals against UCF[1]. The headline here isn’t gaudy scoring; it’s versatility, willingness to do the dirty work, and the kind of energy a coach can trust when the game gets physical[1]. If your team needs a high-motor forward who embraces defense, rebounding, and bench impact, she fits the mold.
