Vanessa Shippy Named Big 12 Player of the Year:
Adding to the heap of honors she’s received this season, Vanessa Shippy was named the Big 12 Player of the Year yesterday. Impressively, this is the second time she’s earned the honor, winning it previously in 2016. This makes her the third player in Big 12 history to win the award multiple times. With a .460 batting average, 26 RBIs and 25 walks, Shippy has had a senior season to remember. This is just a little icing on the cake.
Vanessa Shippy's unbelievable season continues, as she is named the #Big12SB Player of the Year for the second time in her career! #okstate

Marcus Smart Goes Off in Game 5 for the Celtics:
Marcus Smart was everywhere last night in the game 5, and the Sixers had no answer. Every time the Celtics needed a basket, Smart did what he need to do. He was everywhere at the end of the game, sealing it for the Celtics with an acrobatic one-handed steal at the buzzer. Consider it Marcus Smart doing Marcus Smart things. Next, the Celtics will face Lebron James and the Cavilers in the Conference Finals. It will be a series to pay close attention to.
