I'm running out of gift articles this month, because, Madness. :D

How her UConn teammates support Jana El Alfy as she observes Ramadan during March Madness

Paige Bueckers has held many titles throughout her time in Connecticut — from National Player of the Year to All-American.
But for the past three weeks, the UConn women's basketball star has taken on a new role. One away from the basketball court and the social media headlines.
Jana El Alfy’s personal morning chef.
Bueckers has chosen to support the native of Egypt through Ramadan this year by getting up before dawn most days and cooking breakfast for El Alfy before her daily fast.
Such was the case Sunday, the day before the Huskies' NCAA Tournament Second Round meeting with South Dakota State. But El Alfy slept through her alarm, leaving Bueckers no other choice but to bang on El Alfy's bedroom door to wake her in time to eat before sunrise.
"I was like, 'Jana, wake up! I didn’t make these scrambled eggs for nothing!'" said Bueckers, recalling the moment in UConn's locker room after the Huskies' midday practice.
 
Good for Paige and the rest of the teammates. We all know how special Paige is and what a great ambassador she is, but the things that truly make her stand out are the things she does that usually get no publicity (we were fortunate to have someone write an article of her and the team supporting Jana during Ramadan - thank you CT Insider)...

Staying after games to sign autographs until there is no one left, even at away games, is another example of her being selfless and making the game special for others who may only get to see her live once in their lifetime.
