Lee said he was feeling ill this week and indeed sounded stuffed up during postgame interview To play this well under-the-weather was extra impressive and I think he's gonna have a March Moment if we can win the ILT.

A young filmmaker who makes sports-themed content made a feature-length "day in the life" documentary about Xaivian:

I haven't watched it all yet, but you really get a feel for the insane level of work Lee has put in to become this good.

When the camera catches his upper back, like when he goes to shoot a FT, you can see some of that work in his physique. Dude is pretty ripped up there.

The film was about 80 minutes long. I agree about the hard work. The most surprising thing to me was how much eating he does, 5 meals plus 4 or so Powerade type drinks a day. I'd completely forgotten how many calories D-1 athletes burn.

When he described coming in his freshman year at 165 and ending the season at 155 I flashed back to those plays where he’d go flying after contact and the opponents would think he was flopping. That isn’t happening this season.
