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.
