Aliyah Boston is extremely impressive in a media role. Unlike a lot of unnamed UConn players, she doesn't lean into her South Carolina background heavily. She's taking her role very seriously and treating both teams like equals.

Life of a coach's kid. Fans project a lot on to the sons of head coaches. It's not fair but the best of the kids don't let it bother them. Unsung hero this year, imo.
Can we give this guy some credit? Played every minute of the game, had 7 assists, 0 turnovers, made the game clinching free throw, and leads the nation in assist/turnover ratio. The stabilizing force of the Hawkeyes.

McHale set the Celtics' scoring record in 1985 with a 56-point game against the hated Pistons.

Nine days later, Larry dropped 60 on Atlanta.

I'm over arguing about how unique Clark is. You get it, or you don't.
Some people hate her for the name on the front of her jersey. Some for her/their color. Some out of pure jealousy or gate-keeping.
You won't get through to them. There are bigger, more important battles.

Agreed. I prefer players who don’t CONSTANTLY cry anytime a call doesn’t go there way and can score 15+ without shooting it 35 times.

In 2010 a one-time high school teammate of mine went into cardiac arrest and died playing slow-pitch softball.
He was 28 and in the prime of his life.
So, and I say this will all due respect, eff all the way off with the conspiracy bullshit.
Young healthy athletes like Bronny James should not be going into cardiac arrest….unless….
Nonetheless wishing a speedy recovery 🙏🏽
