Donovan Dent is off UCLA’s injury report ahead of tomorrow’s NCAA tournament opener. Tyler Bilodeau, who participated in open practice today, is questionable. Riley Kugel (14.4 ppg), and Jamichael Stillwell (11.7 ppg), two of UCF’s top 4 scorers, are also listed. @SportingTrib

A look at Donovan Dent during UCLA’s open practice in Philadelphia. The Bruins already practiced at Drexel — mostly just half-speed spot shooting drills so far at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

I’ll have a few more stories over the coming weeks, but that’s the end of my time covering Maryland MBB for @thedbk. It’s been an eventful two years, from Derik Queen and a Sweet 16 to a coaching change and… everything that came after. Thanks for following along!

"For Williams, who turned in the worst first impression of any coach in program history, it needs to be." Harrison and @BenGeffner gave great coverage in a lost year and captured the importance of the upcoming months. This is the most crucial offseason in recent Maryland history

Solomon Washington told me Maryland’s season-ending loss to Iowa was partly anxiety-induced. “A lot of the seniors [were] out there. I know I felt it, like, “Damn it’s almost over.’ … we just let that get the best of us.” More from postgame ⬇️

Solomon Washington after his last college game: “It was a down year for Maryland, but we all tried. Nobody in here gave up … it may seem like it, but we tried everyday. We worked our ass off.” “It’s disappointing … how I went out.”
