shooting and defensive skills. He sits down to talk about his

zeroes in on Ewing as he discusses the Hoyas performance this
season and how they look to grow in 2021. Ewing gives his take on
the challenges the pandemic has presented Georgetown, the college

comes from Raftery, a former Seton Hall head coach and current
FOX and CBS talent. Raftery discusses all things college
basketball, what BIG EAST teams have caught his eye and what it
is like to call games during a national pandemic (30:20).
