Call them the Twin Towers, or name them what you will.
Just know one thing: When 6-foot-4 Azania Stewart and 6-foot-3 Aneika Henry enter the game, it's time for the other team to make some adjustments.
But there is one fact that might surprise you: The two interior forces have never played in a game together at the same time.
That all could change very soon, maybe even in the No. 15 Gators' (17-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) game against Mississippi (13-5, 2-1 SEC) on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the O'Connell Center.
The duo has seen increased time on the court lately and has brought a spark to the team when starting post players Marshae Dotson and Sharielle Smith have a seat on the bench.
There has not been much of a drop-off, if any at all, in the level of play when the two enter the game, and Henry has only one explanation for why that may be so.
"I guess it's because we're international," she said with a laugh.
Henry, a senior from Jamaica, and Stewart, a freshman from England, have built a relationship on and off the court because of their similar positions and foreign backgrounds.
Stewart's father is Jamaican as well, and it's something the two have fun with around the rest of the team.
"I'm the only one who understands her sometimes when she goes off on her Jamaican rant," Stewart said.
The centers give each other advice during practice and games, and it always seems like they're laughing about something.
Whether it's in pregame meals, in the locker room or during a game, their likable personalities draw their teammates to them and create a fun environment for a squad that's in the heart of conference play.
"If somebody fouls us because we're big, they never really give us the benefit," Stewart said. "If we've got girls hanging off our arms and they won't call anything, we laugh about that, but that's the game."
Assistant coach Susie Gardner, who works with the post players, said she has imagined what it would be like with Stewart and Henry side-by-side in a game.
"As soon as SEC play started, we started thinking that would be a great tandem because the height disadvantage that we have every single game," Gardner said. "We have toyed with it a little bit in practice. On paper and looking at them standing on the baseline and walking through the airport, you think, 'Man, what a great tandem that would be.'"
Stewart is optimistic about the possibility of soon playing alongside her fellow height-advantaged, foreign-born teammate.
"They're planning to," Stewart said. "We've been practicing together. When a big game comes up when we need a height advantage, the Twin Towers will be there.
"I can't wait until they actually do put us in."
The rest of the SEC might not feel the same way.
