Why this college hoops team wants Taylor Swift at their game
“The Dunk,” have taken to Twitter to lure the “Shake It Off” singer to the Big East matchup.pic.twitter.com/n2J6WKpYM6It’s unclear if Swift, 32, who has a house in Watch Hill, RI can even hit a lay up or knows the first thing about hoops, but she is something of a totem for the 11th ranked Friars.As the team — led by veteran players and Coach Ed Cooley, who is so awesome that when he split his pants during the 2018 Big East tournament final, he tucked a Gatorade towel in his trousers and kept coaching — have battled their way to a 23-3 record, Swift’s music has put some extra wind in their sails.Her 2009 hit, “You Belong with Me” has become the anthem for the squad and the raucous student section, as they’ve gone viral for belting it out in unison. The floor shaking interlude has helped create an electric atmosphere at the arena this season.
