Congrats to Mikayla. If you're reading this thread you likely already know about her 53 points tonight at Florida -- SEC record and national freshman record (record just under a year old, in fact).

Also a nice win against an opponent that has given us trouble at times. Way to go, Dores!

Coach Ralph and Mikayla Blakes after Florida game where Blakes set an SEC record and broke the NCAA freshman single-game scoring record with 53 points. JuJu Watkins had the record with a 51-point performance last season.

Wow.
As a resident of Northern NJ, I knew Blakes was good and for awhile, there was some mutual interest between Ms. Blakes and Notre Dame, my educational and rooting interest. However, she chose Vandy, which certainly one had to respect for all kinds of reasons, athletic and academic.

I knew she was good, but recently she's morphed into a dominating guard. Way to go. Will be interesting in how she matches up against very physical and defensive Ole Miss team.
