Shout out to the Bball players and TJ at the game Saturday!

It was nice to see the members of the men's and women's team signing autographs and taking selfies with the kids in the NW corner of the stadium during the game.

TJ even got into the game with several selfies.

Everyone was gracious and looked to be having a good time.

I was very impressed.

Great job!

TJ has been a great ambassador since his time as an assistant. He gave me to greatest head nod I’ve ever received in JTS back in 2015

I wanted to wear yellow for Ashley getting the CBA award on the anniversary of her death but I always wear the same shirt we won with until we lose and wore a red 2018 game day shirt for our first two games.

Not current basketball, but my parents were sitting right behind Niang in the SEZ and they said he was bombarded the entire game by kids wanting autographs and selfies. They said he graciously did every single one of them, asked the kids what their name was, where they went to school, how things were going, etc. Everyone around them was very impressed by how much interest he was showing in each of the kids.

It's been said many times but worth repeating. The University needs to hire Georges in some capacity when his playing days are over. Personally, I'd like to see Heft retire and Georges take over as color on basketball, then have him work in athletic fundraising.

Georges is so great. A couple years ago my niece's granddaughter put a poster in their RV window saying that her boyfriend had yet to ask her to a high school dance and asking if Georges would take her.

He saw it walking by, stopped and took pictures with her and all the kids! What a great guy and great ambassador for the university!

He truly is the best!
