NIU senior Lindsay Secrest leads the Huskies in points per game in 14
games this season.
After practice earlier this week, Secrest was kind enough to take time
to have a chat with the Northern Star.
Northern Star: If you could model yourself after an NBA player, who
would it be and why?
Lindsay Secrest: If I could, it would be Larry Bird because of his
work ethic.
NS: If you could trade places with one person for a day, either past
or present, who would you be?
LS: Hmm. It’d definitely be a guy so I know what it’s like
to pee standing up [laughing]. I’d be someone who seems happy and
not affiliated with sports. Leonardo da Vinci.
NS: Is cheerleading a sport?
LS: I’ve gone back and forth on this one. It can be when it involves
a competition, but no if it’s just cheering.
NS: What about a three-pointer makes it your shot of choice?
LS: Growing up, I used to play against a bunch of guys and because
they were so big, I just stayed outside.
NS: If you were stranded on an island, what three people would you
want to be surrounded by?
LS: My dad, because he would know what the heck he’s doing; my
sister Desha; and my future husband.
NS: What was the last CD you bought?
LS: Frank Sinatra’s classics.
NS: Last movie you saw in the theater?
LS: “Lord of the Rings 3.”
NS: Favorite “Lord of the Rings” character?
LS: Gandalf.
NS: If you had a million dollars, what is the first thing you’d
buy?
LS: I’d pay off all my family’s debts.
NS: What sport would you play if you didn’t play basketball?
LS: Volleyball.
NS: Favorite movie?
LS: My favorite movie, nobody will know. I’ll say “The Last
of the Mohicans.”
NS: Favorite musician or group?
LS: I like most music. If I had to pick one, I’d pick something
mellow like Norah Jones.
