For James Wiseman, the day starts just like it does for most people — with breakfast in the morning.

He has bacon and eggs — it's 8:03 at the Terrace Grille at the University Plaza Hotel and the 7-foot-tall No. 1 senior prospect in the country has practice in an hour at JQH Arena.

Wiseman and his high school basketball team — the Memphis East Mustangs — have a game at 4:30 p.m. in an opening round match-up at the 2019 Bass Pro Tournament of Champions.

No, Wiseman didn't bring his unicorn to Springfield — although he admits he should have.
