Amanda Blumenherst and I are on the first tee of the Washington Duke Golf Club, and I'm harboring an uncanny fear that my drive will careen left and kill the reigning National Player of the Year.

Lindsey Harding trusts her eyes. She's seen the game from every potential angle-player, coach and fan-and she believes what she sees. Lindsey Harding is Lindsey Harding-the all-time winningest player in school history, the National Player of the Year, the National Defensive Player of the Year, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, the image of Duke Women's Basketball-because of her eyes. Just watch-the way the upward glare in her defensive crouch intensifies as the game progresses, how the iris expands when she spots a loose ball, how calm they always seem in the chaos of transition basketball. And when she stood at the free throw line in the Greensboro Coliseum on March 24th, with her team trailing by one point and one tenth of a second remaining in the NCAA Tournament regional semifinal against Rutgers, there was no fear in those eyes.
