Milan Momcilovic: Conferences are more similar now with the transfer portal
If there’s one word that I can use to describe Milan Momcilovic, after hearing him speak to the media Thursday, it’s “smart.” Momcilovic is a smart player, but he’s also smart in the sense that he knows what’s happening around college basketball.
