I thought the guys on the bench, even Boston, were fantastic. Going crazy!

Best thing that ever happened to this team.

See ya 2020.
It really was good to see. It makes you want to root for these guys.

Other things that pleased me:
-10 blocks and 10 steals tonight
-Mintz and Askew combined for 11 assists
-Ware and Sarr combined for 24 rebounds

But most of all was of course Allen. Each 3 he hit sent that surge through you that UK fans know all too well, that feeling of unbridled ferocity.

“I don’t think it was pressure only because I put in the work,” Allen said. “I didn’t know when my opportunity was going to come, obviously it could’ve came today, next week, next month, nobody knows. I was keeping my head down and just working hard.

“I fall back on my work every time,” Allen said. The reason I said there is no pressure is of you put the work in, and you get your opportunity you know you are going to be ready. “A lot of people go down a different path – I was just waiting for my opportunity, and I capitalized on it.”

“It feels crazy. If there are kids listening, it comes down to work,” Allen said. “It might sound cliche, but if you put in the work, you can do some great things. Just put in the work, put your mind, body and soul into it.”



👏👏👏👏👏 Dontaie Allen.

Be nice if we could keep this rolling. Keep Allen getting 25+ minutes (I think he should start, but whatever). Also be nice if Brooks amputated calf would get better.

Askew, Mintz, Allen, Jackson, [Toppin, Ware, Sarr]. Let Boston and Clarke develop from the bench. Be a salesman, and have em' buy into it. Devin Booker did it.

I just want this to be somewhat fun. I'll take a tourney birth and some returning players.

One thing...

Bruiser called some important timeouts last night. Collectively calmed and organized his guys in OT... I thought just how different the end of game pace and strategy was a lot better than the usual ‘let em go because I empower them’ ******** fiascos of past.
Yep. Loved it.

It was on his show last night. Can't find the clip. Basically, he watched the game, it was awful, and both teams aren't great. Probably out there on the internets somewhere. But he mocked Cal specifically.

Cal went on one of his cheesy rants about people trying to steal the team’s joy after the win and SVP said he wasn’t trying to steal any joy but he watched the game and it was 2 teams who suck.

The Okinawa trip was the best part. Loved what they did with Chozen. The season was great. Not sure what you were expecting.
