Deserving recognition for Tara and a fine acceptance speech indeed. There were also great acceptance speeches from Paige Bueckers and Maya Moore that are worth rewatching.

Agree re the three speeches. It was interesting. I'd guess 75% of the eve featured black commenters, presenters and award winners.  And, celebration of black women and social justice was the main theme. Wonder what the SEC folks who tuned in to hopefully celebrate their various winners thought. Bueckers made very thoughtful comment that it's the sports writers and commentators who tell us who is great, and who should be featured, and they focus primarily on white athletes. Maya Moore was a revelation. I don't think she was reading. PS: Reading speeches isn't Tara's strength.
