BY THE NUMBERS
Carrington played her first four NCAA seasons at Stanford, but in her senior year, a knee injury limited her to just five games. She transferred to Baylor as a redshirt senior, and set career highs in scoring, assists, steals and made three-pointers. The Big 12 honored her as the conference Newcomer and Sixth Person of the Year. The Lady Bears advanced to the Elite 8, but were eliminated by UConn, 68-67, on a controversial no-call when Carrington drove the lane with four seconds remaining with the chance to take the lead.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“An undeniable presence on the court, Carrington … plays bully ball with opposing guards. Whether it’s attacking the basket or punishing a lazy layup, the guard brings impact to the hardwood. While her three-point shooting may raise some question marks, Carrington has shown the potential to be a threat from deep as well—including a 4-of-7 three-point rate against Kansas in March.”
~ Theo Salaun, Bleacher Report
“DiJonai Carrington earned herself a spot in the first round after a great showing in the NCAA tournament for Baylor. It seemed as if Baylor relied on her a ton during the stretch of close games and she was able to answer the call a few times for them..”
