In this week’s Sic ‘Em Pod, he sits down to talk about his coaching career
and preview the year ahead.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Three.

Omier became just the third player in college basketball over the past 25 years to reach 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds joining Armando Bacot (UNC) and Kenneth Faried (Morehead State).

The last person to reach that milestone prior to the turn of the century was some guy named Tim Duncan, you might have heard of him.

🐻 Have a great week!
