As pointed out by Deion Sanders in his Instagram post, Shelomi had broken her hand a few days before the game, which delayed her debut for a bit. Finally debuting last night, the CU Buffs’ guard showcased a lovely technique, using her height to the maximum advantage. Deion couldn’t help but be proud of his youngest daughter and said, “@shelomisanders first bucket“.
