    She's Always Had Game: Rutgers Basketball with Brittany Wallace

    In this episode, we delve into one of the most significant eras in women’s college basketball—the mid-2000s Rutgers program—and explore the enduring legacy established under Hall of Fame coach C. Vivian Stringer. From the historic 2007 National Championship run by the Rutgers Scarlet Knights women’s basketball team to the national attention surrounding the Don Imus Rutgers controversy, this program transcended mere competition. It played a pivotal role in shaping culture, fostering resilience, and redefining what it meant to represent something greater than basketball. Joining the show is Brittany Wallace (formerly Brittany Ray), a Bronx-born guard who emerged from Rutgers during that transformative era. She became an integral part of the foundation that sustained the program’s unparalleled excellence. Brittany shares her journey, the rigorous standards set within the program, and how playing under Stringer profoundly influenced her approach to the game and her life beyond it. This conversation goes beyond statistics and accolades, delving into the realm of legacy, identity, and the profound impact of Rutgers women’s basketball on the sport.
