Cynthia Cooper -- no relation to coach Cooper -- was a big part of USC's glory days that included back-to-back NCAA championships. Now Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, she will return to Troy this weekend to see her No. 44 jersey retired and hung in the Galen Center. Cooper-Dyke is the third USC women's basketball player ever to have her jersey retired, joining Cheryl Miller and Lisa Leslie with that prestigious honor. Currently the head coach at UNC Wilmington, Cooper-Dyke remains a powerful part of Trojan history as a two-time national champion, a 1982 WBCA Freshman All-American, 1986 All-Pac-10 First Team selection, and sits in the USC career charts as the No. 9 all-time scorer, No. 3 all-time in steals and No. 7 all-time in games player and in assists.
