LAWRENCE, Kan. – One of the best players in the history of Kansas Women’s Basketball was not on the court when her No. 12 jersey was raised into the rafters. She was instead watching from the top rows of the stands in her nun habit, now known as Sister Paula. KU knew this record-breaking basketball player as Angela Aycock.
Aycock traveled to her jersey retirement from Western Canada, where she now resides as a nun in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, according to kusports.com. KU and Aycock’s former coach, Marian Washington, negotiated with the 6-foot 2-inch former basketball star for weeks to set up an arrangement for Aycock to attend the ceremony.
