Texas Southern 88 Alabama State 59

CC had 34 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, and went 7 for 7 from the charity stripe. (Is this kind of thing what commonly happens when a P5 starter moves to a 2nd or 3rd level conference?)

Certainly not always, but presumably she is now a "big fish in a small pond" and significantly more talented than most of the players around her, many of whom would not get a P5 sniff.

When a team from the truly lesser conferences can land a transfer or a "player" that just wants to stay local it can have a really big impact.
