Being the biggest player on a basketball court has obvious, tangible advantages.
There is a less obvious flip side to that.
"There's more pressure," said Tamara Seda, the 6-foot-4 sophomore center who's never known anything other than being the largest player on her team. "Everybody expects something extra, a little more, when you're the tallest."
That's expected, even though Seda is still only a sophomore transfer, coming off of injuries that cut short each of the previous two seasons, even though she's making the transition to a higher level of play and a completely different style of basketball from the international game she grew up with in Mozambique.
