Your University of Kentucky Wildcats took off from Blue Grass Airport around 4:30 p.m. today for a more-than-two-hour flight to College Station for tomorrow night’s game at Texas A&M. But before the team boarded their charter, assistant coach Bruiser Flint and starting point guard Sahvir Wheeler checked the pregame press conference off the team’s to-do list.
Flint went first, speaking on team chemistry, Oscar Tshiebwe, and getting buckets. He also dismissed any trap game talk and spoke highly of Davion Mintz and TyTy Washington.
When it was Wheeler’s turn to speak, he explained his role as a team leader, how it feels to be back from a neck injury, the reunion with Tom Crean, and more.
