Zoey Cunningham had a question for her father as the two watched the top-ranked USC team play Texas A&M. The 8-year-old wanted to know one thing after seeing her first game.
She asked her dad if she had ever been to Boston.
Boston scored 19 points in South Carolina's win.
She knew a lot by the time we got there, like a recent article ranking her as the No. 1 player in women's college basketball. Donald Cunningham said that it was different being there.
It proved that being there in person can be different than watching at home.
Zoey Cunningham got a high-five from Saniya Rivers. Her favorite player was shouting. So why not shout out and hope Boston would respond, right?
It took a "hi" from the Gamecock forward to make Cunningham's night and turn her into an internet sensation.
My daughter's night was made by Ihoop and Boston.

Zoey couldn't wait to tell everyone about her encounter with Boston after the car ride home.
Donald said that she called her mom and called her stepmom. She didn't sleep the whole way home. She asked if Boston liked her video. She was tracking views.
Boston, along with Rivers and the South Carolina head coach, saw it. The three of them made a video for the Cunninghams.
All the tohustleandcrow and Zoey!

Zoey's favorite is Boston's blue hair and dominance on the floor. She is a fan of both Destanni Henderson and Zia Cooke. The three Gamecock players are the team's top scorers and a big reason why the squad is ranked No. 1 with a 16-1 record heading into Sunday's game against Arkansas. The program is on the cable network, ESPN2).
Donald Cunningham is a father of four and a South Carolina fan. Zoey just got onboard. He said she was a fan of the team from the upstate until she saw the "Sandman" tradition at the football game.
Zoey is hooked. She might want to play for South Carolina in the future.
Donald said they would see about that one.
