## Resource

What does it take to go from being overlooked to competing on one of college basketball’s biggest stages? This week on The Twins Take Podcast, we sit down with Virginia guard Jacari White to hear the incredible story behind his journey from JUCO, to North Dakota State, and ultimately to the University of Virginia. Jacari opens up about the sacrifices, setbacks, and moments that shaped him into the player he is today. We also talk about Virginia’s run to the ACC Championship game against Duke, what it’s like playing under the bright lights, and the mindset it takes to keep betting on yourself when no one else does. This conversation is packed with powerful stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and life lessons that every athlete—and every underdog—needs to hear.
