As days creep closer to the UCF women's basketball team's exhibition game on Nov. 6 at 2 p.m., members of the team are taking a break from their busy schedules to provide a glimpse into their lives. In this final Q&A installment of preseason, sophomore forward Erika Jones debates Team Jacob vs. Team Edward and her guilty pleasure song.
You are the oldest sister in a big family. How would you rank yourself as an older sibling?
I'd say I'm a pretty good big sister. I'm really protective over them. I will fight their battles before I fight my own.
What's your favorite book?
"God Don't Like Ugly" by Mary Monroe.
Rumor has it you are a Twilight fan. Are you Team Jacob or Team Edward?
Well it's hard because I know Edward loves her, and so does Jacob, but Jacob is fine (laughs). To be honest with you, I think Bella plays with both of their hearts.
Where is your favorite spot on campus?
The student union. There is great people watching at the union. I laugh there, and I like to chill with my friends there.
What is your guilty pleasure song?
I like old school music like Al Green. So that's a good question. I guess it would have to be Justin Beiber's "Somebody to Love." I love that song.
What have you been focusing on in the preseason?
I'm focusing on my conditioning and getting through pressure.
If a genie gave you three wishes, what would you wish for?
1. That I could meet Dwight Howard.
2. I wish that I could go back and live in the 80s because I feel like I could fit in in that decade.
3. To give my parents a big house, paid off.
The reigning Conference USA championship women's basketball team is slated to play 18 home games, tipping off with Florida A&M on Nov. 18. UCF will also welcome Hartford, Florida Gulf Coast, Virginia Tech and Florida State just before the New Year. Fans can ensure that they don't miss a minute of play by purchasing their season tickets today by calling (407) UCF-1000 or by visiting UCFAthletics.com.
