Tracy Wolfson's NCAA Tournament Photo Goes Viral Before Sunday's Games
03/23/2025 12:11 PM
Tracy Wolfson is ready for an NCAA Tournament second round doubleheader as a sideline reporter for CBS on Sunday.
Wolfson joined CBS in 2004 and has been the lead sideline reporter for the NFL on CBS for several years. The University of Michigan alum also spent a decade as a college football sideline reporter for the network and is the No. 1 sideline reporter for CBS Sports' college basketball coverage. On Sunday, Wolfson will be with CBS' top announcing crew--Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery and Grant Hill--for two games in Raleigh, N.C.
The first game of the day just tipped off between No. 8 seed UConn and No. 1 seed Florida. One of the Gators' most notable players, freshman Olivier Rioux, hasn't even appeared in a game yet this year.
That's because at 7-foot-9, Rioux is the world's tallest teenager. This morning, the 5-foot-2 Wolfson reenacted the famous photo she took with UCF's 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall six years ago, posing next to the towering Rioux.
This time, Wolfson, who was barefoot standing next to Fall in 2019, wore heels. The height gap is still insane though.

These photo ops are becoming an almost annual event for Wolfson. She posed for a picture with Purdue's Zach Edey, who stands 7-foot-4, at least year's Final Four.
"You'll need a step ladder to interview those players," one fan commented today.
"In heels with Rioux as well!" a second person said.
"GOOD LORD!!!!" a third person wrote.
"I love this-- can relate! U rock, Tracy! #GoBlue," a fourth person added.
Florida, with the redshirting Rioux watching from the bench, will look to become the first team to beat UConn in the NCAA Tournament in three years.
After that game ends, Duke, the No. 1 seed in the East, will take on ninth-seeded Baylor in the same building. Wolfson will be working both games.
Get to CBS now for the action.
