ESPN.com You can bet that Georgia Schweitzer loves those Cameron Crazies.
But when the Duke junior thinks back to her best memory on the court, it's nowhere near the Blue Devils' campus. "Whenever we play a high-pressure game or things are not going right, I think back to playing on the court my dad built in our backyard -- a half court, paved, with a huge street light," Schweitzer wrote. "I would play all night by myself and it would be so quiet and peaceful, time to just be alone." Schweitzer shared memories of that court 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 was in the second grade and had two older brothers. I wanted to do everything they did so I had to practice a lot so they would let me play. What is your best memory or moment on the court? Whenever we play a high-pressure game or things are not going right, I think back to playing on the court my dad built in our backyard -- a half court, paved, with a huge street light. I would play all night by myself and it would be so quiet and peaceful, time to just be alone. Do you have any pregame rituals? We eat a meal about three hours before game time as a team, then we have some down time. I usually study and always take a nap.

Mychal Harrison, the guy I play against every day in practice. Person you'd most like to meet? Abraham Lincoln. Tell us something we don't know about you: I can eat a whole pizza by myself.
