State News: Do you have any pregame rituals?

Brittney Thomas: No, but at halftime I don’t like to shoot because if I shoot good then I think I’m wasting it and if I shoot bad then, you know, you just don’t feel good and then you start to have a bad game.

SN: If playing basketball wasn’t an option, what other sport would you play?

BT: Volleyball. I love volleyball. I miss it already.

SN: What’s the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

BT: When I was playing basketball when I was about 10, I was wearing warm-up pants because I was still cold. I was running for a fast break and I was ahead of everyone, and (my pants) fell. They passed me the basketball and I couldn’t move because I would’ve tripped and traveled, so I had to wait for everyone to come back down (the court). It was really embarrassing.

SN: What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

BT: I’m really goofy and I have standup comedy on my iPod — Dane Cook, Wanda Sykes, Katt Williams, Gabrielle Iglesias.

SN: What kind of music do you listen to?

BT: I listen to everything except for heavy metal. I think people are surprised because I have a good amount of country. I like it.

I’m really feeling Gretchen Wilson right now.

SN: How would you describe yourself outside of basketball?

BT: I’m really laid back. I kind of just go with the punches and, like I said, I’m just goofy and friendly.
