The Hogs’ impressive freshmen led his team to a comeback win over No. 14 Michigan with a good chunk of the college-basketball world watching the victory from the World’s Most Famous Arena.
Fland noticed the crowd support, especially, during the game, pointing it out afterward.
“The atmosphere is crazy. We’ve got all our fans here,” Fland said. “We’re at Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous arenas. Let’s go out with a bang.”
