Shawntinice Polk
University of Arizona basketball player Shawntinice Polk collapsed and died this morning before a practice."Polkie" was a fan favorite because of her size (6'5") and scoring prowess. She earned double-doubles in all three of her first games as a Wildcat back in her freshman year, and got to 1,000 career points faster than any previous player. She was considered a serious candidate for both the Wade and Wooden awards, and had been a member of the USA Basketball squad.
