WKU senior All-American candidate Alexis Govan sat down with her teammates and members of the Hilltopper Basketball team to discuss life off the court, life on the court and everything in between in a series of question-and-answer sessions.
Govan, who is interning with the WKU Athletic Communications/Media Relations department this semester, is returning to the court in 2014-15 after missing much of last season with a fractured tibia. As a sophomore, Govan was one of the most prolific scorers in the nation and will enter the 2014-15 season as the second leading active scorer in Conference USA behind teammate Chastity Gooch.
Today, Govan sits down with redshirt-junior Nigel Snipes:
