One of the major controversies of last night’s broadcast, was that ESPN and Bilas chose a Kansas player, not a Kentucky player, for his popular segment “94 Feet.”
This decision exploded social media. Why would they choose a Jayhawk to walk the storied floor of Rupp Arena for one of college basketball’s more popular segments?
Late last night, Bilas answered that question on Twitter:
UK does not practice in Rupp on Fiday or Saturday. All of our staff and stuff is at the arena due to GameDay. That’s the only reason. Just logistics.

While this answer did not seem to please fans, it does make sense.
