Two things about this photo:
1) Elvin Hayes is one of the best basketball players of all-time, is 72 years old and looks a lot closer to 52.
2) Who is sitting next to Elvin Hayes??? 😍#Houston #Michigan #MarchMadness #NCAATourney pic.twitter.com/A74vAJmlyb

In an interview with Click 2 Houston, Fritz revealed that it wasn’t so much a date as it was an opportunity for her enjoy the game with one of the sport’s all-time greats.
“Big E is a great friend,” she said. “I enjoyed sitting next to the legend and hearing his expert analysis on the game as it played out.”
We have just one question left: Is Fritz single?
