- I can’t for the life of me remember us playing Gonzaga in Maui in 2002. That’s rare.

- Looking forward to UK finally benefiting from the incremental leaps from established players. We have seen it every now and again, most recently from Tschibwe, Quick and Richards, but can’t wait to see what Reeves, Wheeler, Toppin, Fredrick and Tschibwe have in store for us.

When was the last time we even played in the Maui? It’s still pretty lame Cal refuses to ever play in it.

Reeves is such a solid addition, dude will get us buckets. 6’6 who can create his own shot and knock down some threes.

Pretty sure I wekked it to Vickie Dortch a few times back in the day.

-RIP Vin. The goat

- Vin Scully was one of those people who I guess I just assumed would live forever. The best to ever do it.

- Back in the day, they'd spread the Blue/White game around. They'd always have two of them...one at Memorial, and then one out in the state. They had one in Cynthiana that I attended in the mid-80's, presumably because it's Joe B's hometown. After the game the players/coaches lined the perimeter of the gym for autographs/pictures.

They'll never do two again under Cal, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to start taking it out to the state again, especially now that so many smaller towns have reasonably-sized arenas. They could easily rotate between Pikeville, Highland Heights, Corbin, and Owensboro.

- Guess it'll be easier to get a great seat when I go see the Nats/Reds in D.C. later this month.

- I can remember virtually every game from 83 through 96, but those late Pitino/early Tubby non-conference games are still a fog sometimes.

I've always thought it was really cool how two greats from the same era (Buck and Scully) each had an iconic call (one on TV, one on radio) of Gibson's homerun, which is one of the more epic plays in all of baseball history.
I remember his call and and a car in the background hitting its breaks when the ball was in the air - a true “Oh, **** … I missed it!” moment for the ages.

Nick Castellanos is one of my all time favorite MLB players exclusively because of his presence in hilariously awkward announcer calls.

Somewhere in all of that it came out that he was making 800k a day. 800K A F'ING DAY!

- New doc that is solid through first 2 is the Hunter Moore POS on NF called Most Hated Man on the Internet.

You can’t learn much from practice/scrimmage, but you CAN evaluate skill & team dynamics a little bit.

Watched the full/sloppy replay that was posted.

Toppin is a different dude. Pulling up, driving, and basically playing as if he felt he was THE dude. Great to see.

Collins skill level, stroke, and confidence was palpable. He’s gonna have a nice leap imo.

Livingston way more skilled & true wing-like than expected. Looked very comfy handling.

…and Reeves is clearly dope. Tight handle, all the moves, experienced & seemingly unphased by the step up in class - just a natural scorer.

It’s been kinda mum on him. No clue if he’s a 12 minute guy, or a 20+, but leaning towards/hoping for the latter.

Can’t wait to get a semi-real look at these guys in Bahamas.

My 5:

Wheeler
Wallace
CJ/Reeves
Toppin
O

(Wishful thinking with 3 smallish guards I know, especially w/ CJ)

Collins, Livingston, Ware depending on night

Legit 9 man rotation of capable dudes & mostly experienced.

Let’s go!
