PISCATAWAY, N.J. — After Cincinnati beat Rutgers 65-58 Saturday night, Lance Stephenson wore a Yankees cap and a smile as he walked diagonally across the Rutgers Athletic Center floor.He had one thought on his mind. He wanted to see his daughter.
In addition to being a heralded freshman basketball player at Cincinnati, Stephenson is also the proud father of a 2-year-old girl named Liara.
“My daughter’s played a big role in my life,” Stephenson said after scoring 10 points and grabbing 6 rebounds in the victory. “Ever since she came I’ve just been real focused. I take everything more serious. I’m just more mature. Having a daughter made me take everything serious and be a good father.”
