“He always joked about the NCAA, never seemed to take it seriously, “-Georgia student on asst. coach Jim Harrick Jr.

As I sat down Sunday to simultaneously watch the CBS and ESPN men’s basketball tournament selection shows, I awaited hearing where my team would be headed. Unfortunately, that team is my hometown Texas Longhorns, not my beloved Hoyas.
