Ionescu was wonderful in her speech. It was a beautiful tribute to two people who became friends. The she went out and scored 21 points, dished out 12 assists and grabbed 12 rebounds while leading Oregon to a 74-66 win over Stanford.
The fact that she clinched an all-time milestone just hours after honoring Bryant and his daughter makes this story even better.
