Tyler Tanner: "My whole purpose here on earth is to bring people to christ. I tell myself to be a light when I pray.... 'God, help people see you through me’”
“I don’t think basketball is my purpose. I think being able to have this platform to share The Gospel is really my purpose”

If there is anything I want people to know about me, it’s that I am a follower of Christ. I will forever be grateful for the death and resurrection of Jesus wiping my sin clean. I have done things in my life I wish I never had. But Jesus has allowed me to use my past to show his goodness. I will continue to show HIS light no matter what it costs me here on earth. Basketball, money, and fame all comes to an end. But eternity is forever!
“I wish at [my player’s] age, I would’ve gone much deeper into a relationship with Jesus Christ… To me, the most important thing is to God with all my heart, soul, & mind.”
- Tennessee HC Rick Barnes

We caught up with Head Coach Jerry Nichols of Walters State following their win over Midland College.
With four players in double figures — led by Jamar Livingston (19), Taquez Butler (17), Carter Webb (17), and Brian Carter (12) — Coach Nichols broke down what opened up offensively and how their balance created winning basketball.
Put some respect on their name.
Walters State continues to prove they belong on this stage.
Coach Nichols also shared the message in the locker room as his group moves to 2–0 at the national tournament and prepares for the Elite 8.
