Maggie Davis

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I didn't cover the basketball team my first three years with KSR.

So I got started, like I said, doing just the Sunday shift.

I lived on campus, so I volunteered to start going to some women's basketball stuff because I could walk to Memorial.

And everybody knows it's a pain to park at Memorial Coliseum.

So I think everyone was just happy they wouldn't have to drive over.

They could just let baby intern Maggie walk over from my dorm or my sorority house.

So that's how I got my start covering the women's team for a year or two during the Matthew Mitchell era.

Then I added football the next year, and then I added men's basketball my junior year.

I guess that would have been your senior year.

Yes, you're older than me.

Just want to make sure everybody knows that.

It was a great experience, and we got to write a bunch of game articles in a time of our life where we weren't actually old or experienced enough to cover any games.

Now we get to be around these guys, and so this is my segue into the fact that I was lucky enough to sit down with assistant coach Mikael McLean yesterday.

He was kind enough to give me about 20 minutes talking all things Kentucky basketball.

Can't play that whole thing for you, but I got about seven minutes.

First, we're going to talk about his new job with the Bahamas national team, and then we're going to go –

and get into this year's team.

We'll get Jack's take on all the scoop after this, but here we go.

Here it is.
