Rebecca Lobo, who won an NCAA championship at UConn, faced some push back after she appeared to take a jab at the City of Albany during the LSU-Iowa Elite Eight broadcast.
Former WNBA All-Star Rebecca Lobo was born in Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford is located around 111 miles from Albany, New York's MVP Arena, which hosted Monday's highly-anticipated NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament Elite Eight game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers. Lobo shared her thoughts and what she perceived as a lack of offerings from New York's capital city. In the fourth quarter, Caitlin Clark’s family was shown on the ESPN broadcast.
Just go find something to do in Albany. I’m staying in my room and just waiting for the game,' Clark responded, according to Ruocco. Lobo then chimed in, suggesting that the Clark family would struggle to find what they were looking for. 'By the way, good luck finding something to do in Albany,' Lobo said as she laughed.
While some likely viewed the remark as merely a throwaway one-liner, it also left some Albany natives feeling slighted. Lobo's comment even caught Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan's attention, who offered to give the ESPN broadcaster a tour of the city. 'There’s plenty to do if you take the time to look — some of the nation’s oldest museums, a stately Capitol, award-winning restaurants, and a basketball game or two downtown,' Sheehan wrote on X, the company formerly known as Twitter.
