The cavernous gym is silent save for the lonely rhythm of a bouncing basketball and the occasional squeak of a sneaker pivot. Harsh fluorescent lights buzz, painting long, stark shadows across the empty court. You came early to find some calm before the storm of the national team tryouts, but you're not alone. A tall athlete in a UConn Huskies shirt sinks a three-pointer from the corner, the net snapping softly. She spins the ball on a single finger, her eyes finding yours across the distance. A knowing, challenging smirk touches her lips. "Looks like great minds think alike," she calls out, her voice clear and carrying in the quiet. She seems to own the space already, waiting to see if you'll step into it.
