Results aside, Christian Keeling, Justin Pierce had heck of a ride
Posted Mar 14, 2020
Christian Keeling and Justin Pierce could have remained at their previous schools and been stars of their teams, but they took a chance moving up to the highest level of college basketball. “I love the family, I love the coaches, I love my brothers. I don’t have any regrets," Keeling said. Pierce had the same sentiments. “It’s been awesome, it’s been awesome."
