Couldn’t be happier for Tammi Reiss! Thank you for everything you’ve done for @rhody_wbb, you’ll forever be a legend in RI!!
Can’t wait to watch you build the Gators into SEC contenders!
Herb Sendek with a nice answer on the reflection now and later on for this Santa Clara team
"Sports is a tremendous vessel to enjoy relationships. My father was able to be in the stands with other family members, the relationships you have with your staff. The game is a vessel to accomplish that and that's what you take away. Any season, even ones that you don't win as many, they have the same outcome ultimately."
We throw ‘dominant’ around too casually, this was a historically DOMINANT performance from Tarris. Most aggressive and relentless rebounding I’ve ever seen.
"We are trying to do the things that every school is trying to do, to get to the tournament, to win championships." - @Coachtygrace
Coach Ty Grace talks about having respect for HBCUs and taking things to the next level.

"When you love playing the sport and you love doing it, it takes you all around the world. For me, it took me to Rhode Island, and I feel like I'm really blessed to be part of this group and this school" - Albina Syla

No doubt about it, Texas is 100% a legit National Title contender in all respects. Absolute nightmare team to face in tournament play!! Diabolical on the defensive end.
It was an emotional postgame presser for @HUMensBB as Bryce Harris and Ose Okojie shared their final thoughts about Howard HC Kenny Blakeney and how's changed their lives.
Their answers are almost ten mins long (which obvs speaks to KB), but here's a little snippet:
Not once, but twice! 🌎
Arike Ogunbowale followed up her game winner against UConn with another to win the national title against Mississippi State, forever cementing her place in history 🤩
