But nobody wants to stop there when they talk about Tennessee junior Chamique Holdsclaw, a 6-foot-2 forward who will lead the top-ranked Volunteers against the Portland Pilots at 5 p.m. Some of the most accomplished players of all time say Holdsclaw can become the best to ever play the game. Some say she will revolutionize women's basketball, taking it to a broader fan base with her flashy spin moves, her smooth jump shot and humble attitude. But right now, Holdsclaw simply is the best college player in the nation. Her judgment day with the sport's elite is in the future, which starts with the next practice, the next game. And tonight is that next game in her pursuit of greatness.
