8-Down: ___ Barbie (nickname for Angel Reese at LSU)

If you can solve our Monday crossword, you can solve anything. This week's puzzle was constructed by Marshal Herrmann and edited by Hoang-Kim Vu. Marshal lives in Chicago and is a longtime sports fan and, more recently, a crossword constructor. He's excited to publish a third Defector puzzle at the intersection of these hobbies.

Defector crosswords, launched in partnership with our friends at AVCX, run every Monday. If you’re interested in submitting a puzzle to us, you can read our guidelines HERE.
