Sweet (16) Memories - Holly Berry BA '00/MAE '03 and Coach Jeannie Milling

This week's episode features decades old memories from 2000. That year, the UAB Women's Basketball team made a run into the NCAA Sweet 16. We are joined by head coach of that team, Jeannie Milling, and her captain, Holly Berry (Holland). The momentum during the Madness of March is often all that matters for basketball teams and that was exactly the case for this Blazers team.
