Florida Gators guard Bennett Andersen doesn’t get many media interviews, but he certainly went viral thanks to Talia Baia.

Andersen went viral on social media during the Sweet 16, not because he scored his second field goal of the year in Thursday night’s win against Maryland, but because of his interview with a student radio reporter afterward.

Throughout their conversation, Andersen seemed distracted talking to ESPN Gainesville’s Talia Baia in the locker room.

Baia, who is studying journalism and communications at Florida, is a student reporter at ESPN 98.1.

“First of all, congrats on your bucket, that was huge,” Baia said. “I just want to know how was the trip here, and how was the energy going into that game?”

“Trip’s been awesome, energy was good,” Andersen said.

Bennett Andersen might’ve started out as the story, but focus would soon shift to Talia Baia.

“Bros speechless (I’d be too),” one fan said.

“He’s attracted to you. If you’re not taken, you should give him a chance 😊,” one fan said of Talia Baia.

“take her out!” another fan added.

“he was looking at her like she was the moon and stars 🤣,” a fourth fan stated.

One last fan added: “@talia_baia your the goat!”

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
