Eight-year-old Lacey Holsworth has a new Twitter follower.

And his name is Jay Bilas.

For as long as the ESPN college basketball analyst has been active on social media, he has rarely followed anyone. Bilas has followed people before, but only one or two at a time and briefly. He followed Shaka Smart after ripping Virginia Commonwealth for making the 2011 tournament, which was the year the Rams went to the Final Four.

Bilas made another exception during this year’s Madness and retweeted the following Friday morning:

Holsworth is a Michigan State fan who is battling an aggressive cancer known as neuroblastoma. She met Spartans senior Adreian Payne more than a year ago when the team visited Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. The two hit it off and when Michigan State beat Michigan for the Big Ten title on Sunday, Holsworth helped Payne cut down the nets.

Holsworth had previously thought she’d conquered the cancer and her family took a trip to Disneyland to celebrate earlier this year. But upon their return, doctors discovered the cancer was back.

Once Holsworth was able to leave the hospital, Payne made sure she had tickets to Spartans games, and on senior night, he held her hand and walked out onto the court together.

If Bilas has decided to only follow one person, he’s made a great choice.
