Some notes as we continue to watch UK players in the NBA playoffs ...
PELICANS UPDATE: Anthony Davis is doing his part to keep the Pelicans in their first round matchup versus Golden State, scoring 19 points and grabbing six rebounds. Unfortunately, for this season, it may not be enough as New Orleans trails 67-54 at the half. A loss would end their season. Still, the experience and strides the Pelicans have made this year will go far in making them a force in seasons to come.
EYBL UPDATE: Mailk Monk vs. Jayson Tatum became, as the Herald-Leader's Ben Roberts called it, "a free-throw shooting contest." Monk scored 19 points while Tatum scored 20. Neither shot well from the field (Monk was 3-13 while Tatum was 4-13) but each missed just one free throw, going 25-27 combined. Monk's Arkansas Wings team beat Tatum and the St. Louis Eagles, 78-69.
Of course, none of this will make any difference. The pair are still two of the highest regarded prospects in the land, and UK would love to have either. Or both. We would always love both.
DEVON/LEAH STILL UPDATE: Remember the Stills? He's the father, the one who plays for the Bengals as a backup so he can afford medical care for his daughter, who was suffering from cancer? Check this out: She's in remission, together they helped flip the coin at Temple's Spring Game, and then she scored a touchdown. You have to see it.
Nick Roush will be by later with a full recap from the day...
Go Big Blue!
