“It is a great pleasure to have been chosen by my peers”, McClelland expressed his excitement about carrying on the critical job of the Men’s Basketball Committee. “In my perspective, the NCAA tournament is the world’s finest athletic event, and we will keep working nonstop to make sure this magnificent endeavor continues to succeed in the future.” Additionally, Arizona’s Dave Heeke has been chosen to serve as the next Pac-12 Conference representative.
