Who would have imagined the 20th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes to knock down the number 1-ranked LSU Tigers? Well, that’s exactly what happened. The Buffs pulled off a 92-78 victory and Pilar Sanders, who is Deion Sanders‘ ex-wife, couldn’t be any happier. After all, her daughter, Shelomi, is a part of the team.
While she did not play due to an injury, Shelomi ‘Bossy’ Sanders was on the court cheering her teammates on with all her force. Meanwhile, Pilar Sanders has raised some eyebrows with a comment.

Colorado Buffaloes Center Aaronette Vonleh was a huge force behind this win. Going against last year’s NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player Angel Reese, she successfully dominated both sides of the court.
While Shelomi couldn’t play, her excitement was visible online. Apart from the mother-daughter duo, Deion Sanders shared his thoughts on this huge victory.
Deion Sanders’ reaction to Shelomi and the Buffs’ big win: “They’re balling”
Not just Mama Pilar, Daddy Deion was pleased with his baby girl’s victory as well. During his weekly press conference Tuesday, he exclaimed, “They’re coming and we should’ve played their theme music, cause they’re balling.”
He also added how he is a big fan of their coach, Coach Payne, adding, “She’s unbelievable. Just to see her do her thing and witness her practices.”
Shelomi has suffered through a finger fracture during an earlier Buffs practice. While fans had hoped that she would get better in time for the LSU bout, clearly she needed more time to recover.
The 19-year-old plays the guard position on the team and has been a vital part of the squad. It remains to be seen if she’ll be able to join the team in their match against Le Moyne tomorrow at 6 p.m. It’ll be held at the CU Events Center.
