I know this isn’t directly UK-related, but I wanted to share this anyway. Two SEC coaches, Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville and Georgia’s Mark Richt, were part of a five person coaches visit to our men and women serving overseas. ESPN’s Ivan Maisel traveled with them and has entries from last Tuesday until yesterday. . And the [...]

Rajon Rondo was part of a very balanced Boston attack, playing a team high 40 minutes. Rondo’s stat line: 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. The downer is Rondo also had five turnovers, ouch. Tayshaun Prince struggled at home last night, going for 4 [...]
