Maryland or Georgetown. Either one he will do very, very well at. I'd imagine he prefers Maryland but I think he could unseat Nova as top dog in the Big East whereas Maryland has some oddities relative to the conference they are in.

Re: (M) Game 34, UCLA at Arizona (PAC 12 Tournament Final) (2021-2022)

Exciting game asnd as stated earlier two real heavy weights going at it. UCLA is not a 4 seed. They are a 3 seed at worst. Totally agree. They have three to four guys that can make NBA level contested shots and have a great defensive coach. Tough out for sure. I think they're Tennessee like but wit...

They outplayed us in the first half. Some of that was certainly due to not having either Kier or Larsson. Poor reffing or not we need to play better in the second half. I think we will.
