Fans were not impressed with a video that circulated on social media showing several players walking right past Sister Jean after their 76-54 win over Eastern Michigan on Tuesday night. The win marked the Ramblers' seventh straight and kept their record perfect.
"How can you leave Sister Jean hanging like this?!?’ Barstool personality Dan Katz, known as "Big Cat," said in a post on X.
"There’s 1 rule in college basketball that must be followed: You NEVER ignore Sister Jean," another person wrote online.
Sister Jean has become a staple in the college basketball community since she became team chaplain in 1994. She celebrated her 105th birthday in August, and the university hosted a mass and block party to celebrate the incredible milestone.
