“I know this has happened a couple of times, Damian (Collins) will call “weak” as for our pick-and-roll but then we will play it wrong.

On if he can you feel how intimate it is between Kentucky and the people in this part of this state.…
“Yes, after seeing how much BBN cares for us and everything, it was very important for us to be able to come out and do this for Kentucky in general.
