After the Florida women’s basketball game ended on Sunday afternoon, UF guard Simone Westbrook stood at center court awaiting her interview with SEC Network.
She not only led Florida (18-4, 6-3 Southeastern Conference) with a career-high 20 points, but she also led them to a 85-79 victory over highly touted No. 12 Kentucky (16-4, 4-5 SEC).
As she waited, fans called to her from the stands. But as she waved at them and did a gator chomp, one voice in the crowd stood out.
"I’m gonna be like you one day," a young fan screamed at Westbrook.
