Before an emotional Mikaela Foecke made her way to the post-match press conference, she took a moment to give John Cook a hug and told him "best four years ever."
Those 4 years included 124 wins, 4 Final Fours, 2 national titles and a runner-up finish. Not too shabby.

Opinion: Everyone should be OK with reserves trying to score late in games where the outcome is already decided.
Putting in players who never see the floor and telling them to hold the ball for a minute+ isn't sportsmanship, it's just dumb. Let both teams play to the whistle.

I'm not exactly sure what comparing one of the best players in college football history to a walk-on commit having fun on social media is supposed to prove or why a grown man felt the need to make fun of a kid to take a shot at a program for RTs and likes, but go off I guess.
