Safe to say this one had a birthday for the books! She got to spend it with 15 of her best pals‼️ Thankful for the time these ladies take to invest in my girls... Happy 4th Birthday Kyler! 🎉🥳
Huge road win for the program! Poised, gritty, together…. So proud! Wasn’t perfect, but we found a way to get it done- especially on the glass against one of the best rebounding teams in the nation🐶💪🍦
Amazing day spent with all of our elite campers! Can’t thank you all enough for traveling from near and far to show us first hand what you got 😤 Our staff and players worked really hard to showcase Samford WBB on all levels! 🐶😍🤩
Resilient. So proud of this group right here…. So many people stepped up tonight when we needed it! Very impressed with our response when things got tough this entire road swing. I ❤️ this team! 🐶😤
Proud of our team. Big time plays, different people stepping up, and big shots down the stretch. Lots to build on. My favorite thing about coaching this team is they will battle no matter what is thrown our way. 🐶🏀🐶

Pretty incredible what
@BuckyBasketball
and this team has done so far this season. This team plays hard and plays together! Incredible environment and incredible effort- 4 games in 4 days. Keep it rolling…. Winners, win.
Proud is an understatement! No secret we have struggled the last few weeks- but this group has continued to stay bought in and committed to us trying new things and saw some much needed success! So fun to watch them celebrate each other ❤️🐶🔥
This group set a record on the road tonight (51 pts in a half) and responded in a big way defensively (held our opponent to 14 in a half). Proud of our growth and we aren’t stopping here! A little 🍦 before sending them home for 🎄!
Super excited about our 1st elite camp here at Samford today! Can’t wait to meet a lot of new people, watch great competition, and showcase what a special place this is! 🐶🏀😎
My players. My friends. My coworkers. I see you, I love you, I will listen, I will learn, I will advocate, and I will stand with you. Black lives matter!
