In the second part of our conversation with Kentucky native, UK alum and ESPN Sportscenter anchor Michael Eaves, we get into his time as a student at UK in the early 1990's and what he experienced as Rick Pitino led the program out of probation. Michael has some great stories, including his friendship with Jamal Mashburn and other former Wildcats. We also discuss with Michael his time after graduating from UK covering the Cats through that run to three straight national championship game appearances from 1996-98. Michael also has plenty to say about that 2015 Final Four loss to Wisconsin, which he covered for Turner Sports as the sideline reporter for that game. And Michael takes us behind the scenes at ESPN on the day Kobe Bryant died. He anchored ESPN's coverage of that tragedy from the moments after word of the icon's death had spread on social media through the following five-and-a-half hours.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! TheragunTry Theragun risk-free for 30 days or your money back by going to Theragun.com/lockedon For a limited time, listeners get a FREE charging stand with purchase – a seventy-nine dollar value.PostmatesDownload the Postmates app and use code LOCKEDONNBA.
