per Chip:
Like many kids, Hollins spent every March glued to the television, hoping that he would get to play on this big stage some day. His two favorite tournament memories are of Juan Dixon leading Maryland to the national title in 2002 and Kemba Walker doing the same for Connecticut in 2011. Hollins loved the way those two played with determination and purpose and no fear.
“I think March is about players who want it the most,” he said. “The world is watching.”
Hollins played in three state championship games in high school and emerged as the Gophers leader in the NIT as a freshman. And he came up big with some clutch shooting in the second half Friday.
“It’s just exciting, that intense moment,” he said. “I play well in that type of environment.”
