Transfer forward Robert Jennings II spoke about the relationship he’s developed with Pharrell Payne.
Both are fifth year guys who missed most of last season with respective injuries.
“We don’t take the basketball for granted at all.”
Buzz Williams gave DJ Wagner a new name: “Julio.”
“I don't call him DJ anymore. He has a new name. This is a new start for him. This is a new chapter in his life.”
Almost identical to this moment below from last November.

Michael Locksley told his players to "go underwater" amid Maryland football's struggles.
"Even in class you'll hear people talking about the game... you just gotta ignore it," one player said.
Saturday's 51-point loss to UCLA was the Terps' worst defeat since 2019.

Maryland football was subjected to one of its lowest moments under head coach Mike Locksley in Saturday’s 54-3 drubbing against UCLA.
With the Terps and their fans seemingly at rock bottom, @aidan_currie_ had more from a cavernous SECU Stadium.
Ben Geffner retweeted
Maryland football lost its ninth straight Big Ten game on Saturday.
@BenGeffner was on-site for the Terps' 54-3 loss to UCLA. ⬇️ 🎥
UCLA coach Bob Chesney’s message was simple before demolishing Maryland, 54-3, on Saturday:
“[This is] your f**king house,” he told his team.
The Bruins felt right at home in SECU Stadium.
Asked 76ers center Adem Bona about his excitement level playing with LeBron James this season:
“It’s going to be an amazing year. Hopefully we can do something great,” he told me.
The Bruin alum is at Maryland today to watch UCLA football. Sixers media day is Monday.

They often say LA doesn’t travel well (I would know), but there’s a lot of Bruins blue out at SECU Stadium today.
@BenGeffner caught up with @UCLAMBB alums Adem Bona and Russell Stong, as well.
Ben and I have coverage for @TerpsCentral.
I caught up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe, who was at SECU Stadium on Saturday.
"I love being from Maryland," he told me. "In this area... we're just hungry, we get to work."
Tiafoe grew up training in College Park and currently has a career-high world No. 8 singles rank.
ICYMI: Caught up with Pelicans’ center Derik Queen, who was at SECU Stadium to watch Maryland football.
“It’s great being back, great people here. It just feels like home,” he said.
Malik Washington’s message to Maryland fans after losing to Virginia Tech:
“Of course we have to win games in order to make them want to come to games.”
He added: “We just really appreciate the support.”
Michael Locksley on the rationale behind Maryland going for two-point conversions vs Virginia Tech:
“We were playing to win.”
He also added: “I felt real good about our two-point plan that we had all week long.”
Michael Locksley: “As I told the guys in the locker room, it’s about the response now [entering Big Ten play].”
His full opening statement after Maryland’s loss to Virginia Tech:
Maryland’s student section with loud “F*ck VT” chants after the Terps score their second touchdown vs the Hokies.
This 45-yard touchdown by Maryland’s Kaleb Webb was taken off the board after an official review.
Refs marked him just short.
Maryland athletic director Jim Smith taking in SECU Stadium’s sellout crowd before kickoff.
Terps vs Hokies starts now.
