March Madness is just around the corner, with the NCAA women’s basketball tournament kicking off on Wednesday. Among the 68 teams participating, six will be stepping onto this esteemed stage for the very first time. One of those teams, the Grand Canyon Antelopes, is led by head coach Molly Miller, whose striking resemblance to LSU gymnastics star and social media sensation Livvy Dunne has caught the eyes of many fans.
As the Antelopes battled UT-Arlington over the weekend in the WAC tournament title game, social media buzzed with comparisons between Miller and Dunne. With her blonde hair and signature purple shirt, it’s easy to see how some fans might mix them up from afar. The basketball community is already rallying around Miller, not just for her looks but for her undeniable coaching prowess.
Comments from fans say it all: “Arizona State needs to give Molly Miller a blank check. She can flat out coach and revive the women’s program,” one enthusiast proclaimed. Another echoed the excitement, stating, “Another defining moment in history for Molly Miller! Budding star in the coaching world. Let’s go!” Another bold fan even predicted, “Molly Miller will be leading Grand Canyon to their first-ever National Championship.”
While the physical similarities may draw attention, Miller’s accomplishments speak volumes about her abilities. She has quickly established herself as one of the leading figures in women’s college basketball, guiding the Antelopes to their inaugural NCAA Tournament appearance in just her fifth season at the helm.
Before her tenure at Grand Canyon, Miller enjoyed a successful run at Division II Drury from 2014 to 2020, where her coaching acumen earned her two Coach of the Year awards and saw her lead the team to the Final Four in 2019.
With the spotlight now shining brightly on her, the question on everyone’s lips is whether Molly Miller can steer the Antelopes to a national title. Fans are ready to find out, as March Madness promises thrilling surprises and potentially historic moments in the world of college basketball. Buckle up; it’s going to be an exciting ride!
