ESPN.com When many folks think about Stacy Frese, her incredible 3-point shooting abilities might come to mind, or that 16-point performance last March that led Iowa State's 64-58 upset of top-seeded Connecticut in the Sweet 16.
But if you think that win from almost exactly a year ago is the height of Frese's career, think again. When asked to recount her most memorable moment on the court, the senior guard picked a moment from high school. "My senior year in high school we won the state championship on a last-second shot by one point," Frese responded. "It was the best feeling in the world to charge the court in triumph." Frese shared the moment with us while completing a survey for ESPN.com. More than 20 players were asked to participate, and the Tournament Dish will continue to roll out the Bio Rhythms -- a fun and humorous look at the athlete by the athlete -- throughout the women's NCAA Tournament.

How did you get started playing basketball? I started playing basketball in third grade for a local AAU team and on boys' YMCA teams because at the time they did not have girl's teams.

My senior year in high school we won the state championship on a last-second shot by one point. It was the best feeling in the world to charge the court in triumph. Do you have any pregame rituals?

Megan Taylor and I put on Flex-All 454 before every game and we go out and do the same shooting routine before every game. Who is the best player you've ever faced? I would say Georgia's Kelly Miller because she competed harder and with more heart and determination than anyone else. Which player -- man or woman -- would you most like to take one-on-one? Jennifer Azzi, because she has always been the player that I most look up to. Person you'd most like to meet? Jennifer Azzi, just to see what type of personality she really has.
