USC transfer Alissa Pili has been a driving force for the No. 9 UtahWBB in her first season, averaging 20.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game while shooting 61.9% from the field.
Utah Utes forward Alissa Pili tries to make a play in basketball action between the Utah Utes and the Brigham Young Cougars, at the Marriott Center in Provo, on Dec. 10, 2022. After transferring from USC, Pili has become a leader for the Utes this season.Gianna Kneepkens remembers what it was like to be on the other side of Alissa Pili’s competitiveness.
Pili transferred to Utah because she was no longer happy at USC. It was during summer workouts with her new team when she started to rediscover her joy for basketball. “We’re certainly not gonna make it a big deal,” Roberts said. “It’d be humanly impossible to not have a little bit of that in your brain. But she’s a competitor. She wants to win. And I think she wants us to win more than it’s about USC.”“We haven’t even asked,” Roberts said. “I don’t want to put her in that position and I think it distracts from her doing what we’re doing. I’m sure I could ask her but I don’t want to.
