Marching to Madness, Episode 948 – UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins

Coach Dawkins comes back onto the “Marching to Madness” hardwood after his UCF Knights were a tough out immediately in the Big 12 after winning seven games and then they lost five of those 11 by 8 points or under. UCF’s adjusted defensive efficiency was 21st in college basketball while their opponents shot only 41.2 percent from the field, 36th out of the 352 D-1 teams. The key will be on offense with the two returning scorers in Jaylin Sellers and Darius Allen. Coach Dawkins also added a pair of excellent scorers in UTSA transfer Jordan Ivy-Curry and former George Mason Patriot Keyshawn Hall.

The show’s topics include:

  • Sellers and Allen returning as talented shooters
  • How Ivy-Curry and Hall possess dynamics in addition to scoring ability
  • Philosophy of how to recruit the transfer portal
  • Coach Dawkins’ years with Coach K at Duke and in his nine seasons in the NBA

… And much more!
