A look at Forbes’ perseverance, from transferring into Harvard, a school with a sub-1% acceptance rate, to helping lay the foundation for years for the Trojans.
USC’s McKenzie Forbes celebrates after their 80-70 victory over UCLA in double overtime in their Pac-12 tournament semifinal on Friday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Back then, in what should’ve been her sophomore year of college, she was floating, frozen in time, as she watched basketball pass her by.
“Well, sooner than later, she did her scary thing,” Gottlieb continued, as Forbes bowed her head with emotion, “which was leaving Cal – which was also leaving home for her – and going to Harvard.” The women’s program has such a miniscule history of taking transfers that back home, in Sacramento, longtime trainers would question why Forbes was so hell-bent on Harvard.But she was in too deep. This wasn’t about proving others wrong – it was about proving herself right. When she’d catch up with old friends, she’d tell them she’d be playing at Harvard the next semester.
“I’ve been waiting my whole life, but honestly my whole college career to make a deep run in March Madness, because I always felt like I was – I always felt like I deserved to be on that stage, and showcase my game, and that I was good enough for it,” Forbes said last Sunday. “And so, I think, just to have that opportunity, that’s why you see me, like – I just don’t like to hold back any emotion.
