Ole Miss Women's Basketball #FreshFaceFriday: Taylor Smith

10/5/2018 | Women's Basketball

Smith Hails from Marietta, Ga.

OXFORD, Miss. – In the third part of our #FreshFaceFriday series for the 2018-19 Ole Miss Women's Basketball team, we get to know freshman Taylor Smith.

On her first basketball experience…
"The first time I picked up a basketball was when I was five. My granddad kind of forced me outside to go and pick up a basketball. I loved to do it but they have me that extra push."
 
On a great basketball memory…
"It was middle school and I scored like 50 points in one game and I was like I didn't know that I could do this."
 
On her game…
"Mainly just the pullup jump shot. Getting to that shot and knocking it down. That's mainly what I do."
 
On a career-defining moment…
"I want to say in high school when I hit my 1000th point, like, on a free throw. It was at the end of the game so I was kind of frustrated."
 
On what she is looking forward to…
"I am most looking forward to just competing with everybody in the SEC."
