Brad Davison is a first-time girl dad.

The former Wisconsin basketball star and his wife, Tyra Buss Davison, welcomed their first child, Maya Marie, on Tuesday morning.

"God’s Greatest Blessing - A Perfect Gift from Above," Brad wrote on his X account Thursday. "Tyra and I Feel so Blessed and Thankful."

"The most Precious and Perfect Gift from above - Brad and I couldn’t be more grateful! Mommy and daddy love you more than you could possibly imagine, sweet baby girl! We are the luckiest parents in the world!" Tyra wrote on Instagram.

"Thanks to everyone for all of the Prayers!"

And it didn't take long for baby Maya to learn about dad's and mom's favorite sport.

Among the photos posted on both Brad and Tyra's social media accounts introducing Maya included an image of the newborn with a plush basketball.

Basketball is Brad and Tyra's livelihoods.

Both were standout collegiate players — Brad for the Badgers from 2017-22 and Tyra at Indiana from 2014-18 — and are now continuing their basketball careers in Spain.

Davison is playing for the Obradoiro CAB basketball team based in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. Tyra most recently played for Hozono Global Jairis in Murcia, Spain.

If Maya will be like her parents she'll be a star hoops player.

Brad had a banner five-year career with the Badgers and is No. 1 in the program's record book for most three-pointers made.

Tyra left Indiana in 2018 as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,364 points. The former two-time All-American is now No. 2 but remains one of just two players in Indiana women's basketball history with over 2,000 points. Tyra is atop the program's list in assists.

Tyra spent one season as an assistant coach with the UW-Milwaukee women's basketball team from 2021-22.
