  • Excellent Conversation

    I just listened to episode #55, a conversation with Coach Richard Pitino. It was interesting and full of good info for any Lobo BB fan. Geoff is a good interviewer and I like coach P more and more every time I hear him. This is the most fun Lobo team to watch and root for in several years.
