Colson and White one more time



Tyra White was a junior playing for a Kansas City team when I first saw her at Basketball on the Bayou and I was impressed by the many ways she could put that ball in the basket. She and Sydney Colson both put on quite an offensive exhibition and in fact became friends afterwards. This is where it started however the similarities between their careers have been, well .... Tyra White initially signed to play at LSU while LSU was one of the finalists for Colson who signed with A&M. White decided to attend A&M and was granted a release however she tore her ACL during her freshman season, Colson shortly after. Colson got a lot of her assists by getting the ball to White throughout her career and they combined on two of the biggest baskets in Texas A&M's championship season, well their WBB history, first against Stanford and then Notre Dame. The duo will reunite in Poland in a few weeks to play together one more time
