Chris Holtmann on Rebuilding DePaul Basketball, Beer Tabs & The Big East | The Pat McGann Show Ep.31

Coach Chris Holtmann of the DePaul Blue Demons joins Pat McGann and Dwayne Kennedy to break down his first two years rebuilding Chicago's most storied college basketball program. 

After leaving Ohio State, Holtmann recounts calling Jay Wright and Tom Izzo for advice, sliding into Pat's DMs, consulting with Brad Stevens, and going bar-hopping after a big win at DePaul. He opens up about the grind, the glory days, and why he's all in on the city of Chicago. Plus: his semi-controversial Final Four predictions. 

🎧 New episodes every Thursday — filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.
