FIVE QUESTIONS ARCHIVE

A look at some of Rebecca Lobo's previous Five Questions features.

Subject Rundown

Nneka Ogwumike, forward, Stanford

The senior All-American spoils us with not one but two dances, impersonates her mom, and talks about coach Tara VanDerveer's wrestling alter ego. (Recorded March 31, 2012.)

• Play video

Natalie Novosel, guard, Notre Dame

The senior reminisces about the World University Games in China, admits she wants to be an honorary "Nerd City Kid" and demonstrates Notre Dame's pre-game Irish jig. (Recorded March 27, 2012.)

• Play video

Alyssa Thomas, forward, Maryland

The sophomore explains her pre-game superstitions, says her sneakers define her style … and just might be the first student-athlete to refuse to dance for us. (Recorded March 24, 2012.)

• Play video

Jalana Childs, forward, Kansas State

The senior is afraid of heights, loves trail walking, quotes Denzel Washington and … somehow ends up singing "Sweet Caroline." (Recorded March 19, 2012.)

• Play video

Stefanie Dolson, center, Connecticut

The sophomore tells us why she likes "Glee" and why she isn't a hugger. But who knew Dolson could demonstrate model behavior? (Recorded March 16, 2012.)

• Play video

Bria Hartley, guard, Connecticut

The sophomore tells us what music she listens to before games, what she thinks about writing a six-page paper, and does her best impersonation of a teammate's on-court celebration. (Recorded March 6, 2012.)

• Play video

Skylar Diggins, guard, Notre Dame

What one word would the junior use to describe coach Muffet McGraw's sidelines style? What chain restaurant does Diggins dig the most? And just how many Lil Wayne songs are on her iPod? (Recorded Feb. 27, 2012.)

• Play video

A'dia Mathies, guard, Kentucky

The junior shares the story behind her apostrophe and her trademark braids, and demonstrates the "Shizz" for our ESPN analyst. (Recorded Feb. 21, 2012.)

• Play video

Whitney Hand, guard, Oklahoma

The senior explains why she might have a better arm than Sooners quarterback (and her fiancé) Landry Jones, and also picks the best athlete in her family and comments on how long coach Sherri Coale spends on her hair? (Recorded Feb. 13, 2012.)

• Play video

Brittney Griner, center, Baylor

The Lady Bears star fesses up on something she might have said about Geno Auriemma last year, which player she would most like to dunk on … and the best words to describe coach Kim Mulkey's hair. (Recorded Dec. 18, 2011.)

• Play video

Geno Auriemma, coach, Connecticut

Who's the hottest coach in women's college ball? What should his future grandchild call him? The UConn coach even does a little dance -- and pays Pat Summitt a compliment. (Recorded April 2010.)

• Play video

Kelly Faris, guard, Connecticut

Ahmnu … Ishka … come again? Then just a Huskies freshman, Faris explains some of her teammates' favorite nicknames for her … and politely declines to compare herself to another well known Indiana native at Notre Dame. (Recorded March 2010.)

• Play video

Caroline Doty, guard, Connecticut

Then a sophomore, Doty takes on Chris Dailey and toenail clippings, and partakes in a Neil Diamond sing-along during down time at the Big East tournament. Guess which song? (Recorded March 2010.)

• Play video

Tiffany Hayes, guard, Connecticut

Then a sophomore, Hayes discusses her last loss, the power of three and puts in a Chris Tucker impersonation. (Recorded January 2010.)

• Play video

Tina Charles, 2006-10, Connecticut

The Connecticut standout -- whose interview gets an honorary Hall of Fame spot as Rebecca Lobo's all-time favorite Five Questions feature -- talks about her place in the Huskies record books, Duke pal Joy Cheek and the nearby WNBA franchise. But be sure to stick around for coach Geno Auriemma's special appearance at the end. (Recorded on March 2010.)
