While the national college basketball title is still yet to be decided, there is already one big winner from the tournament — CBS sideline reporter Allie LaForce.
The gorgeous blonde, who has been working with broadcast legends Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery, has been lighting up Twitter for both her all-American looks and her impressive basketball acumen.
She has been part of some of the tournament’s most poignant moments, such as interviewing St. Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli’s adorable mini-me grandson and chatting with Dayton star Devin Oliver’s sister Miya, who has Down syndrome.
The 25-year-old former Miss Teen USA played hoops at Ohio University, but she says she still has to battle the notion that she’s just a pretty face in a male-dominated arena.
“You fight that stereotype every day,” she said on “Boomer & Carton,” adding that people are constantly tweeting her to express surprise at the quality of her questions.
And, predictably, she gets a lot of dirty, sexually-charged tweets from male admirers.
“I can’t say any of them on the air,” she said.

And sorry, fellas, but she’s already taken.
Her fiance, Joe Smith, is a pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels.
