Canadian college basketball player Delaney Gibb talking to the media

A new college star is born.

Canadian college basketball player Delaney Gibb is not as well-known as some other star women’s college basketball players. That certainly changed this week.

This week, the BYU Cougars’ star player led her team to victory over the Kansas Jayhawks in the WBIT Semifinal. They moved to 4-0 in the tournament and punched their ticket to the title game.

BYU will face No. 4-seeded Columbia on Wednesday in Wichita, Kansas, with the winner claiming the WBIT championship.

Before that contest, players on the team spoke about taking Sunday off in preparation for the game. Delaney Gibb was first up as she spoke on having a different perspective on everything and how things are much bigger than basketball.

Her overall look at the podium is what made her go viral.

It’s not hard to see why fans have become enamored with Delaney Gibb. She has the looks and the game. A recent video of her talking to reporters was all it took for her to go viral.

This is how fans responded to her on social media.

“I watched it on mute. I don’t know what she said, but I agree with her,” one person said.

“I see where a bunch of us are looking for the first girl’s name. She is Delaney Gibb and looks to be a better version of Madelyn Cline. Just a completely GORGEOUS woman!” a second person said.

“Don’t worry about fixing your hair, this is cute as fk. omg!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Please stay like this forever,” a third person said of Delaney Gibb.


“Damn, she’s cute. Looks like an 80s girl,” a fourth person wrote.

“Idk who she is, but I agree with whatever she’s saying,” one final person added.


It didn’t take long for the internet to find her Instagram after her viral moment.

Delaney Gibb is more than just her looks. When she transferred to Raymond High School, she led them to three consecutive 4A Provincial Championships in 2022, 2023, and 2024. She was also named Alberta’s Miss Basketball in 2022, 2023, and 2024, becoming the first three-time winner in history.

In 39 minutes of action on Monday, she poured in 12 points on 4 for 13 shooting. She also had seven rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
