We lost a tough one in Lexington yesterday afternoon.  No time to dwell on it though and I’m glad we get another shot at them later in the year. We play Ole Miss, who is currently ranked 14th in the AP poll, this Wednesday at home.  Once conference play starts you really don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself after a loss.  You just learn from the mistakes you made, put it behind you, and prepare for your next opponent.  With that being said, I want to share a story from earlier in the year:

I’m going to take you back to a few weeks ago.  I got to the locker room about an hour before practice and was killing some time talking with TO, our graduate assistant and the star of my first 2 game day trick shots.  I told him I was planning on recording a video of Travis Leslie dunking from the free throw line (and I still am).  TO said he had to see it to believe it.  This prompted him to call Travis in to harass him about how he wasn’t reaching his “bounce potential” and hadn’t dunked on anybody all year.  We gave him credit for his oop vs. St. John’s but gave him some flack for missing layups instead of just dunking. He claimed that he was “going to start dunking on people” from that day forward.

If we never had that conversation I’m not sure these clips would have ever happened.  Like I said, you are welcome:
