Texas A&M basketball coach Billy Kennedy brought his 7-year-old daughter Anna Cate to Madison Square garden for the Aggies' game against St. John's. Anna Cate sat in the second row and got herself noticed by screaming (actually, it was more like shrieking) very loudly while St. John's players were at the free throw line.
In what may be pure coincidence, or proof that her screams were effective, St. Johns happened to miss six of its last eight free throws in the final four minutes of the game. This included two misses by Nurideen Lindsey with the Red Storm down by 1 point with 2.3 seconds left which would have tied or won the game.
CBS Sports went so far as to say that Anna Cate was the MVP of Texas A&M's 58-57 victory over St. John's. That may be overstating things, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for Coach Kennedy to bring Anna Cate to Texas A&M basketball games as much as possible.
