In this special episode, sponsored by Discover Davis, we spotlight Lauren Tebsherany, a powerhouse in college basketball operations and the Director of Basketball & Conference Operations at the Big East. Lauren’s journey in sports began at Boston College, where she started as a team manager and quickly proved herself as an essential part of the program. Since then, she has built an impressive career, working her way up in the industry and playing a key role in shaping one of the most prestigious conferences in college athletics.

Lauren takes us behind the scenes of her work—from orchestrating major events like the Big East Tournament to navigating the impact of host cities and preserving the traditions that make college basketball so special. Along the way, she opens up about the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in sports, the importance of mentorship, and the lessons she’s learned on her path to success.

Joined by podcast host and best friend Kerri Shields, the two reflect on their shared experiences in the industry, their time at Boston College, and the relationships that have shaped their careers. Whether you’re looking to break into sports or simply love the game, this episode is filled with insight, inspiration, and a behind-the-scenes look at the work that keeps college basketball running.
