Take the mommas to Charlotte.
With two and a half minutes left in the first half of Mississippi State’s stunning upset over Tennessee in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, Cam Matthews added insult to injury. After reeling in a backdoor pass, the 6-foot-7 senior soared over the Volunteers, delivering a thunderous tomahawk dunk.
Matthews’ teammates weren’t the only ones losing their minds. Immediately after Matthews’ dunk, the broadcast cut to Matthews’ mom in the crowd. She turned toward opposing fans, arms open wide, bouncing with excitement.
After the game, Matthews commented on his mom’s electric reaction.
“Same old, same old,” Matthews said with a smile. “She’s very supportive even since I was a baby playing football, tee-ball. She’s been the same person my whole life. Feel like it would be kind of weird if she weren’t right there yelling and screaming. Really appreciate it, love her. But don’t show her this stuff.”
