Chris Chiozza has his grandmother in his heart and on his arm

From the time he was running around with boundless energy on his grandparents' farm in Mason, Tennessee, and described by his own mother as a teeny-tiny kid, Florida senior point guard Chris Chiozza has been a blur.

Curtistine Crenshaw-Chiozza can still hear her late mother, Pearlie Crenshaw, marveling with that grandmotherly affection, "That boy has more energy than anybody in the world." Anybody who has ever matched up against Chiozza on the basketball court can relate.

It's only fitting that the SEC's best point guard carries a little bit of his grandmother with him everywhere he goes.
