I’ve listened to several interviews with Mintz, Oscar, TyTy, and Wheeler to name a few. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard this kind of selfishness out of a UK team. They discuss nothing about the NBA, all about being a final four team and winning titles.
Someone needs to remind them it’s about the name on the back and not the front. They’re not supposed to care about a college legacy and championships.
In all seriousness, I’ve missed hearing key guys say they play for UK and not for a future contact. It’s been a huge gripe of mine over the years, and it’s been a pleasure to see it return. Pride of program not of self. No matter where they end up, they’ve represented better than any UK team in the Cal era.
