First, let me just say, I'm a die-hard UK Wildcats fan. During basketball season, I eat, sleep, and breathe basketball. It's pretty much a requirement if you are from the old Bluegrass state anyway.
So when I heard that there was a Pro game, I jumped on board. Basically, recent Wildcat players that have gone to the pros came back to play the Dominican National Team that the UK coach is currently coaching. Did ya get that? Game 1 was scheduled in Lexington, and because it sold out so quickly, they played a second game in Louisville. Can I mention how awesome it was to see so much blue in Louisville!?!?!
We made the trek, ate at Hard Rock Cafe (Why did I think this place was so good? Our food was just ehh?) I bought a Lville Hard Rock shirt, complete with horses on the back. Pretty schnazzy, right? i also bought a Pro shirt. I just love buying souvenier tees. It's a habit.
We walked over to the Yum Center, and again, SO MUCH blue in that place was awesome. Our seats were in the lower section, at the end of the court, so I was pretty pumped!

The best part was seeing the old KY players. You may recognize some of these names; muhammed, Cousins, Wall, Liggins, Harrellson, Bledsoe, and my favorite....Rajon Rondo! You know, from the Boston Celtics?? So pumped!
