In her last NCAA Tournament run, Barbara Turner was unable to get her Connecticut team back to the pinnacle of women's college basketball after helping UConn win NCAA Championships in 2003 and 2004. The Huskies' 2006 Final Four bid fell short in overtime against Duke in the Elite Eight, with Turner unable to play down the stretch because of debilitating cramps. Still, Turner ended up one of March's biggest winners. The WNBA was watching, and Turner's dominant postseason - she averaged 22.8 points and 10.5 rebounds in the NCAA Tournament - secured her a spot in the first round of the WNBA Draft when Turner was taken 11th overall by the Storm. She quickly made the transition from power forward to small forward in the WNBA, starting nine games as a rookie.
