A new poll launched by USA Today seeks to crown the greatest women's basketball player ever to emerge from Indiana, inviting the public to weigh in on a list of 19 nominees that span high school phenoms, college stars and trailblazing professionals.
The America 250 Project
The nominees were unveiled on July 10 as part of USA Today's "America 250" initiative, a year‑long tribute that spotlights milestones in Indiana's basketball heritage and the athletes who have defined it.
Voting opens on July 21 and will close on July 24, giving fans a narrow but exciting window to cast their ballots online and influence the final selection.
Beyond the competition, the poll underscores the deep connection between the state's basketball culture and its community, celebrating the women who have inspired generations of players and supporters alike.
