Over the next several months, IUHOOSIERS.com will catch up with former Indiana women's basketball players to see where life has taken them after graduating from IU. Khisha Asubuhi, who played for the Hoosiers from 2002-03 was the second alum to write in.
Asubuhi played two seasons with Indiana after transferring from Cincinnati State Community College. She was a defensive-minded guard who had both the quickness and size to match up with nearly any opponent. Her career-high 13 points came against Long Beach State on Dec. 16, 2001. The Columbus, Ohio, native contributed to the 2002 Big Ten Tournament title when she scored seven points off the bench. She played in 39 games over her two-year career, starting in two of them.
Below is what Asubuhi had to say:
Tell us what you have done since you graduated from Indiana:
After I graduated from Indiana University, I went back to Cincinnati to coach at my former junior college, Cincinnati State Community College. Our first year, we won our conference and finished second in the region. My second year, we went 29-3 and won 28 games in a row, which made Cincinnati State history for the longest single season winning streak. We were also Conference Champions, Regional Champions, District Champions, and finished sixth in the NJCAA National Tournament. All of our players went on to play at Division 1 or Division 2 schools.
What is your current job right now and how do you like it?
Currently, I am working for the United States Postal Service full-time and could not ask for a better job at the moment.
What are some of your best memories of playing basketball for the Hoosiers?
The support from everyone was great. The fans were AWESOME!!!!!! (Big-Ten 2002...We had Conseco Fieldhouse PACKED! Thanks again everyone). The media crew (our media guides, highlight tapes, interviews were so organized), and most of all the VARSITY CLUB (scholarships).
My favorite basketball memory is participating in the NCAA Tournament at Duke University in 2002. A lot of people did not know if it could be done...but we did it. It took a lot of teamwork, motivation and heart. It was the best feeling I ever had.
Would you say playing basketball and receiving an education from Indiana has really helped you get to where you are today?
DEFINITELY! You appreciate things a lot more when you are done. For example, when you are in the real world you have a lot more time to think about things in your past that have helped you into the person you are today. I thank everyone who helped me at IU as well as those who are helping our younger athletes become strong powerful women who will also look back and appreciate being a HOOSIER!
