It\u2019s safe to say that Savannah Curry\u2019s attitude toward the game sets her apart from her competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5-11 freshman took a different route than most peers in her position would. Ranked as the 37th best prospect in the nation in the class of 2024 by BlueStar Basketball, she committed to the underrated Temple University. Now she\u2019s a key player in reviving the winning culture on North Broad Street. Greatness doesn\u2019t happen overnight, though, and Savannah is taking her journey one step at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not really thinking too far ahead because we still have little steps [to climb] along the way,\u201d Savannah says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the noise surrounding the Owls&#8217; eight-year March Madness drought or any other external distractions don\u2019t bother her. Achieving smaller goals is more important, and she\u2019s focused on building from within to make that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it starts with the little tournaments we have leading up to it,&#8221; Savannah says. Since we spoke in December, Temple has been crowned the inaugural Big 5 Classic Champions, a tournament centered around Pennsylvania area schools. It seems Savannah\u2019s future-looking words came to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The BIG 5 runs through N.

I have great teammates, so it\u2019s really fun to hang out with all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of three true freshmen getting minutes on a nightly basis, Savannah isn\u2019t comparing her game to anyone else. When opportunity calls, she answers, whether it\u2019s dropping 12 points off the bench against Georgetown or snagging a team-high 3 steals at Florida Atlantic. Throughout her first season, pressure has become a privilege, and she\u2019s willing to do whatever it takes to help her team succeed. Until then, it\u2019s a turtle race, and Savannah is moving at her own perfect\u00a0pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Portrait via Savannah Curry<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps the greatest ability you can have on the court is your mindset.
