Caught this really sweet moment after Illinois' exhibition win over UIS last week. Illinois have three different players who represent Brazil's national wbb program - Lety Vasconcelos, Aaliyah Guyton, and Manuella Alves.

Léo Figuerió (pictured above) is the technical coordinator for Brazil's WBB program and is Manuella's father. Aaliyah's mother Adriana Mafra won an Olympic Bronze Medal with Brazil at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Today I learned that Jordin Canada is one of Destiny Jackson's favorite basketball players. Illinois' Sophomore point guard looks to players like JC for motivation to grow her game and reach her goals.

With four minutes left in the second quarter Xavier's Lucile Jerome already has 13 points on 4/5 FGs at Northwestern.

She scored 28 in the Musketeers' season opening win on Monday.

Anyone who admires Jordin Canada is A-OK in my books. Check out Dan's piece on Destiny Jackson if you are inclined to do things like that. #WNBASky #SkyHoops #WCBB #BigTen
