A better script couldn't have been written for Swin Cash's senior year at Connecticut.

She helped lead the Huskies to a 39-0 record and an NCAA title, snagged Most Outstanding Player honors in the Final Four, and was chosen by the Detroit Shock with the No. 2 overall pick in Friday's WNBA draft.

Cash, a graduate of McKeesport High School, was back in Pittsburgh last week. She told WTAE's Jon Burton that she had a message for anyone who thinks they've already seen all she has to offer.

"I love to play the game at an intense level," Cash said. "I think (fans) are going to see a lot of different things they may not have seen this year, because I played with some of the greatest players. I didn't have to do a lot of things that I may have to do at the next level."
