Despite the injury that cut her senior season short,her career at Kansas was staggering nonetheless.
By numbers alone, McCray will be considered one of the greatest players in Kansas women's basketball history. She ranks in the top 10 in school history in 10 different categories. In 116 games, she scored 1,934 points, which is fourth all time in school history. The second-team preseason All-American averaged 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season.
McCraybecame the fifth Jayhawk to be selected in the WNBA draft's history. The list also includes Jaclyn Johnson (Pick No. 42, 2001, Orlando Miracle), Tamecka Dixon (No. 14, 1997, Los Angeles Sparks), Lynn Pride (No. 7, 2000, Portland Fire) and Charisse Sampson (No. 25, 2000, Seattle Storm).

Woods posts four-under in first round at Augusta
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Even more surprising, he felt that way, too.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods played like the last five months never happened.
No longer the same person after he was caught cheating on his wife, Woods looked every bit the same golfer Thursday when he opened with a 4-under 68 — his best first round ever at Augusta National — that left him only two shots behind 50-year-old Fred Couples on an extraordinary opening day at the Masters.
Couples, who played a practice
round with Woods on Monday, sauntered along in tennis shoes and no socks and shot a 6-under 66. It was his best score ever at the Masters and made him the oldest player to be the outright leader for any round.
"I never really thought about what I was shooting," said Couples, who already has won three times this year on the 50-and-older Champions Tour. "It was a fun day for me. I still think I can play, and if I putt well I've got to be some kind of factor in my mind."
Tom Watson, at 60 the oldest player in this Masters, picked up from his amazing ride at last year's
British Open with a bogey-free round of 67 that left him tied with Lee Westwood, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Y.E. Yang and K.J. Choi.
Hitting for hours
"My goals were to play better than I've played in the last five or six years, and I achieved that — for the first round," Watson said. "I'm playing pretty well. I've said I have to play better than 90 percent to be successful on this golf course."
Still, this day was always going to be about Woods.
