Went to Bankers Life Arena with four other UofL fans to see Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz take on the Pacers. Upon entering into the arena one of the security guards asked why there were so many UofL fans there?
It was great seeing Mitchell in person in an NBA game, but it pains me to say it....he was not good last night. He was 3-8 from the field with only 7 points. Mitchell was very inactive usually just hanging out in the corner beyond the 3-line. He made no moves to the basket, no dunks, just jump shots. He was evidently criticized in the media for his past game where he took 35 shots and had 0 assists. So, maybe he was trying to compensate. Also this was the 4th game of a road trip and the Jazz looked gassed. They were sloppy and totally out matched by the Pacers.
I have to say the environment at Bankers Life was pretty impressive for a Monday night.
One funny note....Grayson Allen is on the Jazz and came in during the final minutes. When he was announced he was boo'd loudly. He picked up a foul on a and one play and the place erupted. That guy is really really not liked by just about anyone who is not a Duke fan.
