I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.

Chapter 2: What are the main challenges facing Coach Pope this season?
There you go. There you go. He was a former UK assistant. And so sometimes there's reasons for these games. Right. You know, there's reasons for these games. They don't all have to be a top 25 team. Right. Like, we don't need ESPN, Showtime. I guess, what was the popular games like rivalry week? That's a hard word.
Rivalry week.
Yeah, and like we'll be fine. Kentucky fans will show up, but we got to win those games. And this isn't something that's going to bother like strength of schedule or something like that going into the decision-making time.
Yeah, not with the SEC.
We'll be fine. I was going to say, it's not really – no SEC team has to worry about that as long as they perform in the conference.

Chapter 3: How does the Kentucky basketball schedule impact team performance?
Yes. You know, that's usually – And who knows how many of those teams are going to win their conference. They've got to go back and play the same teams that are complaining about us playing. Right. It just makes us better. I think so. I think so. Like I said, I think I like it because going into last year, I was kind of upset.
I think some of the teams, I didn't know if we were necessarily prepared for that. And so sometimes you need to take some time to prepare. Some of these games are good to prepare for. your next opponent and whatnot. And speaking of preparation, I just got to say this. I was listening to Coach McLean talking. When he mentioned Zoom being that quarterback for the team that we talked about earlier,
You mentioned some of the guys kind of struggling with sprints. That's hilarious. I mean, is it? It's June. It is June.
Chapter 4: What are the expectations for the new players joining the team?
And like I said, that's why we weren't around the coaches. You know? But, man, I think the only guy I think is acceptable is the only true freshman we have, Mo Williams, Maurice Williams. You know, I mean, if he's a little gassed because he's like, oh, man, I didn't know. I think everybody else is coming back. They played college ball before. They kind of know what to expect.
Which they probably just thought they'd get back up to speed in the first week or two. But that's a week or two where you're worrying about getting your wind up versus... Getting better. Right. Exactly. So... Who knows? But you, of the two of us, you have never had an issue with sprinting. You're always one of the first to finish.
You and Ramon were the first one and two guys in every sprint, regardless of how long we went in practice. I was somewhere in the pack, in the middle. Yeah, you were in there. Maybe that's why I look at it that way. I was just kind of thinking, you know what? I don't know, what were we thinking in the offseason? I don't know.
That's something you can do on your own, sprinting, and you don't need any sort of equipment. Really, I feel like you just play pickup. Isn't that what we did? We just played pickup in the summertime. You go home in the summer. The season's over. You go take a little break. You might go see – you eat.
You're going to probably eat and hang out and stuff like that, but you're definitely working out and you're – I mean, you're a little bit different than the rest of the guys. You got to get in the gym.

Chapter 5: How does the team plan to improve its performance this season?
That's part of your routine. I got to hit the gym. Yeah. And I got to, I got to get some runs in. I got to get some runs in. So that's, that's kind of, that was, that was kind of something that stood out to me. But I think, I think, cause I know one of the, we had some fans that kind of talked about Pope being soft on some of the guys. And I was saying that,
with the competition that the pieces that we have coming in, I was saying that some of those guys are going to need to come in hungry. They're going to need to come in, you know, to be a championship team, because I mean, I'm going to be honest, I'm, everyone's hard on Pope. I'm, I'm not going to be, you know, the toughest guy on them, but I, I do want the team to be successful.
And I mean, the ultimate successful, obviously national championship team. So I'm, I'm, I'm, maybe skip or I don't know, but I'm going to be a guy that kind of pushes. I'm going to want to push for excellence. I feel like that's what you're going to have to do, you know, going in. I mean, seriously, I mean, dude, yesterday they were trying to replace this guy with Nate Oates.
You know what I'm trying to say? Man, leave Nate Oates in Alabama, please. And I'm not going to lie. Nate Oates, he's killing it in Alabama, though. He is. He's not doing bad at Alabama. But, you know... We got our guy. You know what I mean? So I want them to kind of make sure. If you got to light a fire under some of these guys, light that fire, man, you know, because we need them to bring it.
Yeah. We need everybody to bring it, everybody on the same page, you know, because last year conditioning was something that people questioned. I myself questioned at times. Yeah. You know, I did like that they would late in games kind of get it together, and so I would kind of back off on maybe they're out of shape and maybe it's just they just need to get it together.
You know, they just needed to get on the same page. Sometimes that needs to happen, right? And so that's what it was as opposed to guys being tired and stuff like that because late in the games, you know, when you make your surge, it's like, okay, you got to be in some kind of shape, right?
But, yeah, you know, pushing yourself to be able to make those deep runs deep in the game and stuff like that, that's going to be very important. So, again, I like that the guys are in the lodge together. I like that the coaches are in the gym with those guys. I like that they're pushing those guys. I like that where everything that I see is high energy. You know what I'm saying?
They seem to be patting each other on the back. You know what I'm saying? High-fiving each other. You know what I mean? We got some real high jumpers. I think I saw Hawthorne. He was touching the second row. You know what I'm saying? I mean, that boy got bounced. You know? And so, yeah, man. So, you know, like I said, going into this season – Once again, I'm thinking championship.
I'm still thinking championship. Absolutely. Championship or apparently it's championship or bust, but there's somewhere you can fall in the middle between the best we've done at Sweet 16 under Pope and the championship, but you can't finish below. Like we were talking about this before. You can't finish below your highest achievement. I don't think an Elite Eight will do it either.
