Duke-Bound Fenwick Star Shoots Her Way to the Top Page 1 of 4 Duke-bound Fenwick star shoots her way to the top Page 1 of 4 Published on News-Gazette.com (http://www.news-gazette.com) Home > Girls' Basketball > Printer-friendly Duke-bound Fenwick star shoots her way to the top By Fred Kroner Created 03/11/2010 - 11:51pm OAK PARK – Tricia Liston's high school basketball career is over. The Fenwick High senior ended up on the winning team in last weekend's Class 4A third- place state tournament game. Though there are no more games to play – until next season when she enrolls at Duke – the final chapter on her prep career has yet to be written. "When people reflect years later on the great scorers in girls' basketball, absolutely they will say Tricia Liston," her high school coach Dave Power said. "She is the most prolific scorer I've seen at the high school level. Ever." Liston averaged 28.8 points per game as a senior and, in her final game (40 points), moved into 14th place on the all-time IHSA scoring charts. She wound up with 2,713 points. Liston headlines The News-Gazette's 32nd All-State team as Player of the Year. "She is exactly like Larry Bird," Power said. "She has the ability to shoot the three or attack the basket and beat people off the dribble. "Larry was great on the big stage, and against top competition, Tricia was able to deliver." For Liston, comparisons between her and one of the NBA's all-time 50 greatest players are flattering, but ... "I don't know much about Larry Bird," said Liston, who was born the year Bird retired from the NBA (1992). "I never had the chance to see him play." What she does know is that if there was ever a temptation to believe all the kind words she's heard – which were enhanced by her current ranking as one of the country's top 50 female players – Liston was brought down to earth at home. "I am the youngest of four girls, and they always remind me I am not that big of a deal," she said. Her father, Brian, said the family has helped keep Tricia humble. http://www.news-gazette.com/print/192806 4/8/2010 Duke-bound Fenwick star shoots her way to the top Page 2 of 4 "She does not believe she is the only good player around and does not take the accolades for granted," Brian Liston said. What is a huge deal is her upbringing in the game. Brian Liston – who played four years at Loyola after graduating from Fenwick – was the first coach his daughters had. "I had a big influence on her learning the fundamentals such as shooting, passing and dribbling the right way," he said, "but that is just a small part of why she has been successful. "Her athletic ability, hard work, love of the game, understanding of the game, court vision and offensive creativity are all hers and can't be taught." Her basketball IQ, as Power calls it, sets Tricia Liston apart from most of her peers. "A gift she has is the quickness of making a decision, the right decision, and it's something she does in a fraction of a second," Power said. "Some kids take extra time, and it allows the defense to slide in there. "Like Larry Bird, she can make quick decisions. She sees it before you see it. She catches it at the right moment." Entering a girls' basketball program like the one Power has established at Fenwick – where his teams have secured six top-three finishes at state in the past 11 years – Tricia Liston believed her career could skyrocket. "I never expected all of what I have accomplished, but I knew it was a possibility because of the history of Fenwick basketball and Coach Power," Tricia Liston said. The performance of the state's Gatorade Player of the Year was outstanding, Power said, because Liston made the commitment to be in position to succeed by dedicating herself to the game. "Sometimes players that good ease off the throttle, but she was at everything and made sure her teammates didn't cut corners," Power said. Liston was not just a high percentage shooter (making 55.8 percent of her attempts as a senior) but a highly efficient shooter. She took an average of 16.6 shots per game, a total that is more than eight fewer per game than Olney's Brittany Johnson attempted as a senior (24.9) when she became the first athlete in state history with more than 4,000 career points. One of Liston's most endearing traits, Power said, is there's not an ego to match her enormous reputation. "She's a sweet girl and doesn't get caught up in stuff," Power said. "Sometimes coaches can come to practice in a bad mood, but you look at that smile of hers and lighten up real fast." Before settling on Duke, the 6-foot Liston considered Wisconsin – where sister Clare played volleyball last year – and DePaul because "Coach (Doug) Bruno is one of the greatest women's basketball coaches around today," she said. http://www.news-gazette.com/print/192806 4/8/2010 Duke-bound Fenwick star shoots her way to the top Page 3 of 4 Liston missed five December games while recovering from mononucleosis but was the Friars' top scorer in the 31 games she played. She eclipsed the 20-point mark in 30 of those games. "The only one to hold her under 20 was her coach," Power said ruefully, referring to a 32- point December victory in which he removed his star after a 19-point performance. At the next level, Power believes Liston will lead the team in the same manner she did in high school for teams that won 126 games, including 32 this season. "I would not be surprised if she played on a championship team, like she did at Fenwick," Power said. "With the shot clock and 40-minute games, she will be a tremendous scorer." Though Tricia Liston was known for her strong work ethic in basketball, her dad said that attitude wasn't always prevalent when it comes to doing chores. "She is not quite so ambitious about helping out at home," he said, "but after a little negotiation, she will chip in and help when we ask her to. "She is easy to be around at home and does not require much of a fuss, but she definitely would rather be on the court than in the kitchen."

  • Geno Auriemma Katie Lou Samuelson Kia Nurse Moriah Jefferson
    NCAA Women's Regional Semifinals and Finals: Bridgeport Sunday, March 27, 2016 Bridgeport, Connecticut yeah, there was a huge difference in the score, but the Geno Auriemma way that we were playing, we were executing everything we needed to execute, and I know speaking Katie Lou Samuelson for the players, we had a great time. I think that it's a mixture of both, because people say Kia Nurse that women's basketball is boring to watch, but when we're playing at such a high level and because we're Moriah Jefferson beating everyone else, then they don't want to watch it either. So I don't know what they want us to do about Morgan Tuck it. Breanna Stewart Q. (No microphone.) BREANNA STEWART: You definitely can't win this Connecticut argument. I think that for women's basketball, we're trying to continue to grow the game, and you can tell THE MODERATOR: We'll begin with an opening that we are with how the tournament has played out so statement from coach and then take questions for the far, with the upsets and that kind of stuff. But it needs student-athletes. to continue. Teams need to get better, players need to get better and that starts from before we even get to COACH AURIEMMA: Thank you. Obviously, we're one college. game away from the Final Four, and I think any time you get to the -- to this point in the season, it's exactly Q. Morgan, how close to the perfect game was where every player wants to be from the time school yesterday's game, in your eyes and in your eyes of starts in September to today.
