The moment isn't too big for Dominique Oden.

The Georgia native has been unfazed by the big stage, whether it be in the Big Ten Tournament, where her dagger three-pointer spurred a comeback vs. Indiana or closed out Ohio State, or the NCAA, when a late triple ended a Green Bay rally on Friday.
But Oden's cool under pressure because she's faced biggest obstacles in her past, which she outlined in a story for the Jan./Feb. 2017 (Vol. 27, Issue 3) edition of Gold and Black Illustrated.
