Missy Konieczny

  6'2 Center

         Junior               Senior

Missy was named the most improved player on the Badgers after the 1997-98 season and probably would have repeated had the award been given after the 98 season.  She has improved from an unsure freshman to a scrappy post player, who made a significant contribution off the bench.  She has about a ten foot long first step and uses it to go hard to the basket.  When she gets near the hoop, she holds the ball with both hands and goes strong.  That lead to a 75% field goal percentage this year.  She combined that with strong offensive rebounding to move up in the rotation.  Missy has good hands and catches the ball well.  She will likely be the first post player off the bench in 1999.  But, for all her contributions on the offensive end, she remains a defensive liability.  Her lack of upper body strength allows opponents to push her out of position and her lack of footspeed leads to her getting beat by average post players.  Missy is in line for significant minutes in her senior year, but she must get better defensively.  She could also use some work on her free throws.
