US-based Kenyan college basketballer Felmas Adhiambo Koranga has helped her team, Troy University's Trojans, qualify for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament for the third time in the last five years.
Felmas was instrumental in her Troy’s emphatic 73-65 win over Louisiana-Lafayette, lifting the Sun Belt Championship title and securing a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
She scored 12 points to become the first woman to go with her game-high 22 rebounds (11 offensive), for her 11th double-double of the season.
This will be Troy Trojans’ fourth overall appearance in the NCAA Tournament and third as the Sun Belt Conference representative.
The 24-year-old Felmas has been on a remarkable streak since she secured a sports scholarship at Tyler University in 2018. She has amassed more than 1,000 points and 750 rebounds in her two-year career, according to data from World Exposure Women’s Basketball.
“Felmas finished 6th in the nation for blocks (92), 16th for total points (590), and 5th for total rebounds (407). She has tallied 26 double-doubles in 31 starts, averaging 19.0 points and 13.1 rebs per game,” World Exposure Women’s Basketball says in a report.

You’re stupid.
There have been rumblings in the black communities that foreign blacks are taking places/opportunities that, the Blacks Americans fought for.I think the influx of Africans playing movies roles that black could,"easily" play has displeased some of them;Basically saying that they did the heavy lifting,and now here come africans to pluck the low hanging fruits. I think this is bone of the tension that has existed between black americans and africans. What this malcontents fail to comprehend is that when an african come to the USA,they representing themselves,and not the country,or the continent they came from.That's just incident.
Of course Africans are not the only ones "exploiting" the opportunities available in the USA.May be there will come atime when africans will reverse the trend.
@Maxiley I think Samuel L Jackson is the person who pushed that to the forefront conveniently forgetting movies like Biko, Cry Freedom, Hotel Rwanda, Madiba, Mandela, Biko, Invictus, hell even the last King of Scotland all were about Africans but featured non Africans in the lead. Until black people control the finances, this will continue. As for the young lady, I wish her luck. She may even make it to the WNBA. Salaries are not as grand as the NBA but they are now better than average even in the US
You are right @ Mundumugo.I remember Oprah also getting some backlash for building a school in South Africa.What Samuel L.Jackson and his ilks dont seem to ignore is that this kind of talk further alienates the black from africans,when we should all be celebration our commonness. Remember some where even hesitant to endorse or vote for Obama because he did not have the so called,"slave legacy".
me too will castrate all men who act as their threat
