Social Media Has Plenty to Say as Photo Emerges of Molly Qerim at UConn Game After Leaving ESPN for Good

March 1, 2026

Qerim attended UConn’s blowout win over St. John’s on Wednesday night, stepping out in a simple but stylish combination of a short coat and denim jeans. She posted two photos from the outing on Instagram with the caption: “UCONN Bball.”

The former ESPN host looked relaxed, happy, and far removed from the high-pressure world of morning sports debate shows.

Fans were thrilled to see her.“nice to see you out ,” one follower commented.“You’re still the same. Keep it up!!! “ another wrote.“So so stunnaful ,” one shared.

“Can’t look at her the same after the Jalen Rose marriage…did my dawg dirty🙂‍↔️,” someone wrote, referencing Qerim’s 2021 divorce from the former NBA player and ESPN analyst.

“She’s so fine, how come nobody got her pregnant? Yum yum yum!” said a second a comment that drew plenty of side-eye.

“Only reason I used to watch first take,” one user confessed.

Qerim hasn’t been idle since leaving ESPN. According to Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, she’s landed her first post-ESPN gig as the new host of Zuffa Boxing.

The internet is happy to see her. Even if some comments are a little… much.
