The Lexington Herald-Leader has some great photos of the UK men’s basketball team in Cancun, Mexico. A couple of the shots are from the team’s open practice Monday, but the coolest ones by far are of the team enjoying some downtime in the pool.

It’s nice to see the guys having a good time and enjoying themselves. I think it was something missing among the team as the season carried on. Sure, they’re here to play basketball and go to school, but it’s also about them enjoying themselves and having a great college experience. It develops team chemistry.

Judging by the Herald-Leader’s photos, it looks they’re having a great time. And I’m extremely jealous I’m not there.

Having said that, it turns into a business trip at 4:30 p.m. when the Cats take on Cleveland State.
