Watching last night’s

game. Was moved by the following act in 4th quarter: with her team up big, with a 5v3 advantage in transition,

calls TO. Why? bc 2 Gator players were injured on the floor and she wanted them attended to immediately

Called my mom today. Said I was returning from my Endocrinologist checkup. She said, “I have prayed everyday for the last 5 years that your cancer doesn’t come back!” Tears sprang to my eyes as a mother’s love flew thru the phone. I am HEALTHY, LOVED, & BLESSED.

What a second half by

. They just showed the rest of the nation what the

saw during the last month of conference play- they have the pieces to make a deep, deep run! Tremendous coaching job by

I am in awe of Dr. Blasey Ford’s strength & courage as she testifies. I am also sympathetic to the emotions that victims of sexual violence must feel as they watch. This is not a political statement. This is a request for us all to show civility & respect towards one another!
Spoke with my dad this morning. He reminded me that evil spreads faster than good. He then challenged me to spread good today. Still listening and learning!

Year after year, sport after sport, female athletes show why they are a “cut above” on/off the field and court. These women are amazing ambassadors for their universities.

Lesson 2 from last night... can we talk about the grace that Tony Bennett displayed in defeat?!!!Every coach should strive to show as much character and poise as he displayed in his postgame interview!
To all the women who blazed the trail before me, THANK YOU! I am who I am today, because of all the opportunities, lessons and relationships afforded me through sports!

I’ve said this all season…
most say we are having so many upsets this year. I say, we have more parity now, because:
1. Window of opportunity in every game bc of skill level,
2. 5th/6th year players & the transfer portal.
3. Amazing coaches at all levels.

Pence is like that dreaded teammate that can never make his sprint on time. Just acts like he is giving his all but could care less that the rest of us have to keep running for his lack of effort

I hate the transfer portal opened today. Not a judgement on portal, but on timing. This should be a time where players, coaches, & fans should singularly be focused on upcoming games! Today should start the greatest week of sports, instead it starts a different type
