What was the story behind the sweater?
EDIT: found the transcript on that-
Q. Before yesterday’s game, how much did it mean to you to get the sweater from Lark Birdsong that belonged to Dr. Grant?
LISA BLUDER: There’s a story behind that. Dr. Grant hired me, hired Lark Birdsong, our first women’s coach, and she hired Angie Lee and she hired Vivian Stringer. Dr. Grant retired, and I had a strong relationship with Dr. Grant for all these years. She came to all of our games until she was too sick to do so.
Lark had a great relationship with Dr. Grant, as we all do, all of her coaches do. Lark cared for her quite a bit her last couple years of her life and helped her fulfill some wishes that she wanted, and one of the wishes of Dr. Grant was that she could see me, our team, in a Final Four.
The way they thought they could do that was by giving a piece of Dr. Grant, which was a sweater she wore. If you knew Dr. Grant, she wore these sweaters that were of Scottish wool quite a bit, V-necks, and she gave me a yellow one yesterday that Dr. Grant wore. I passed it around the circle yesterday, let everybody feel it, get a piece of Dr. Grant’s DNA.
