Growing up in San Diego with a father who was a sports anchor meant only one thing -- the topic of conversation in Steve's house usually centered around the Padres, Chargers and the Aztecs.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. — Te-Hina Paopao 's basketball journey began on the blacktop courts of Oceanside High School, where she caught the eye of a coach at just 8 years old.

That coach knew what he was talking about, as this past weekend confetti fell from the rafters while Te-Hina and her South Carolina teammates celebrated a NCAA national championship victory. Te-Hina began her college career at the University of Oregon, where she played for three years before transferring to the University of South Carolina, a decision that proved to be pivotal.
