“NCAA On Campus” is a collegiate sports show which focuses on the student-athlete. Producers from “NCAA On Campus” were on the Greeneville campus this past December as they interviewed Gunn, her teammates and head coach Adell Harris. Senior guard Brittni Oliver (Kokomo, Ind.) also served as host of the program.
Gunn, a 4-11 native of Nashville, Tenn., has accounted for one of the greatest basketball playing careers in Division II history. The 2010-2011 Preseason National Division II Player of the Year is second is one of only five players in South Atlantic Conference (SAC) history to score over 2,000 points in her career.
The reigning SAC and Division II Southeast Region Player of the Year has scored 2,052 points which are second most in Tusculum history and fourth in the SAC record book. The two-time All-American currently holds school career records in free throws made (625) and free throw attempts (798). She is also second all-time in career field goals made (691) and career assists (610), and third in career steals (262).
During her storied career, Gunn has led the Pioneers to three 20-win seasons, two SAC Championships and three NCAA II Tournament appearances. Last year’s squad posted the best postseason run in school history, by winning the program’s first SAC Tournament title and parlayed that momentum in knocking off the top three seeds in the NCAA Regional to advance to the Division II Elite Eight in Missouri.
This year’s squad will at least share the regular season conference title. Gunn leads the Pioneers averaging 19.7 points per game, which is tops in the conference.
