SO many different things that I loved this episode
Taliek Brown
RJ and his dad. I didn't know his dad played overseas. Seems like a super grounded dad
Wilcher learning from the Butler missed dunk
The end Pitino talking to the team after the Marquette win almost got me. Started getting choked up

Look ahead to next week showed a clip of Repole getting the team fired up before the UConn game

Episode 3 is another great one.
I’ll overlook a couple of slight embellishments, like Deivon being ruled out at halftime of Nova game (he came back for a few minutes in the 2nd half). Narrator also mentioned Deivon missed 5 games due to the shoulder injury, when he only missed 3. Still a fantastic show. Next week covers our win at Storrs.

From a purely entertainment/access/quality perspective, obviously enjoyable. We're really lucky they're following this year.
But I feel like I know too much to not critique the episode a bit.
The Sim storyline was a bit meh. Although it was cool to see him turn it around mid-game against X from being in his head, the real climatic moment was his big plays at the end of games in January -- especially against Villanova if I remember correctly. Sim really seems like a great kid and someone I want all four years.
No footage of Rick yelling in and out of the locker room after Providence game?!
Also if the theme of the episode was about getting the team closer together, the omission of Smith's suspension + team vote on it is pretty glaring. Especially since he's kind of blended into becoming the team's x-factor.
Again, really enjoying the show and did enjoy the episode. RJ stuff was amazing.

I didn't expect this to be so well done. Every episode is great. Vice is really getting a lot for its money with our success this year.
The Pitino exchange with his son before the New Mexico game was hysterical.
Rick: Kadary will be out
Jr: No he won't
Rick: He's hurt, if he does play it will be off the bench
Immediately cut to game announcer: starting at guard for St. John's, Kadary Richmond!
That's Pitino in a nutshell.

The thing I like about it is this is a phenomenal recruiting tool. Whether its players, agents, coaches, etc. watching it, you will know exactly what you're getting if you come here.
Sounded like Repole was invited to speak at the schools CBA?
He did this week
I thought that’s what I saw as part of next weeks show. Very cool.
I think this series is great, when would we ever get a look behind the scenes like this?
Wow.
This guy can coach better than I ever imagined.
I watched a Louisville BET game years ago and happened, by coincidence, to be seated next to Denny Crum** (thought he'd have better seats, and with an entourage-- but no). He said to me at one point, watch how Pitino has these guys playing defense. Well, now I know firsthand.
Can't wait for Repole's speech, next episode.
** Louisville's Crum no slouch himself, HoF, two Natys, 6 FFs, .697 winning %, may he R.I.P. always had a rolled up program like his mentor Wooden

One other time. ESPN The Season covered the 2001-02 campaign. A two-episode behind the scenes documentary. The infamous “Where’s Alpha?” and the comical Eric King raising his hand when Jarvis asked the team who should be shooting 3s.
