23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: Ryan and I spent all afternoon and evening traveling down

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: here to New Orleans. It's the first time I think

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: I've been in New Orleans since Kentucky cut down the

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: nets in twenty twelve. I was trying to think, has

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky played down here since then? Drew, I can't remember

28
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: a time.

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: Do you.

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 4: Yeah?

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 5: They played right up against Christmas in the CBS Sports Classic.

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 5: I think they lost. Wasn't a well attended game. It

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 5: was only the twenty third or something before Christmas win.

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I didn't come to that game because I have not

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: been here in a long time, and it's nice to

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: be back.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: We we came twice that year.

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: Ryan, they played in the SEC Tournament here and then

39
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: a few weeks later played in the Final four, and

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: we came to both, drove to both. I've been on

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: that road for a long time. Nice to be back.

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: Do you like New Orleans as a city?

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: I do?

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 7: You know, they used to have the SEC Tournament, used

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 7: to rotate in it like every third or fourth year.

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: Used to be at the super Dome.

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 7: There in New Orleans, so we would go down and

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 7: it's been a week down there and hang out of

50
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 7: Bourbon Street and do all the New Orleans stuff.

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was always a good fan place for Kentucky fans.

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: Haven't seen a ton of Hilltopper fans yet. Hattiesburg people

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: will probably drive down like day off because that's not

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: very far from here, but nevertheless, excited to be here.

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: The big news this morning, I mean, we'll talk about

56
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: a lot of other stuff, but the big news is

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: of course Saturday and the Kentucky basketball win against Saint John's.

58
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: I talked a lot about it on the postgame show.

59
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I mean, if Kentucky does something successfully this season, if

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: they are able to make any kind of run, we'll

61
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: look back at the moment. All of that changed the

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: second half when Jalen Lowe decided to come back in

63
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: after his injury in the first half and Jaden Quaintan's

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: arrived to UK fans for a second half where Kentucky

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: ended up winning by nineteen points in the second half

66
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: against Saint John's and really took a season that had

67
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: been depressing at best and completely flipped it around all

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: of a sudden, made it exciting, the possibilities endless, the

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: ceiling raising and watching Low and Quaintance on the court

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 2: at the same time.

71
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: You got a sense, now, Ryan, of.

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: What they were hoping to do when they constructed this team,

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: and it was electric.

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: It was not only the best moment of the season.

75
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's one of the better recent moments, along

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: with like the Duke win last year, etc. I'm just going, oh,

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: wait a minute, now, this could end up being a

78
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: fun season.

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the first time.

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 7: You're right, we got to see what the full roster,

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 7: what a full roster looks like, what that twenty two

82
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 7: million dollars roster looks like. And I'm telling you, man,

83
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 7: when Jalen Low came in early and got hurt and

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 7: walked to the locker room, I thought he's done. I mean,

85
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 7: not just done for the day.

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: Oh he is done.

87
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: I assumed, Ryan, I mean I just assumed he was done.

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 4: And then the kid comes back.

89
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 7: Just tells me everything I need to know about that kid,

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 7: so tough, kind of struggled early, but then he turned

91
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 7: it on and he needed to. And they are just

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 7: they're just a different team. When he's on the floor, Man,

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 7: they just everything is better. Offensively and even defensively when

94
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 7: he's on the floor.

95
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

96
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: You, no one in this team Drew can can kind

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: of create their own shot consistently besides him. But then

98
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: you throw in the quaintan's piece where you get this

99
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: physical presence. We've seen a lot of those guys over

100
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: the years, these guys that just physically are just a

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: different player. He is that, and you know, Kentucky has

102
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: not had that. Oscar was like that, but he was

103
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: below the rimp. We It's been a long time since

104
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: we've had a dude like that, and just seeing him

105
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: on the court, it's like, oh my goodness, Wow.

106
00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

107
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 5: I have high expectations for him long term, but in

108
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: his first game I didn't expect much out of out

109
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 5: of him. I mean, he hadn't played a full game

110
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: of basketball since February, so for him to come in

111
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 5: and play the way he did when he get like

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes, and there were moments, especially when he was

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: getting those put back dunks, I'm like, do we have

114
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 5: Shaq on this team? I mean, the way he was

115
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 5: throwing those down, that's been an issue for a few years,

116
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 5: especially last year. Guys wouldn't dunk it guys wouldn't challenge shots.

117
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: I mean on the offensive end, he was putting everything

118
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 5: back and had I think five offensive rebounds.

119
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: And defensively he made Zubie look.

120
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: Like a fool.

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: He was defense at him. Yeah, Zubi had no chance.

122
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: And then the way you're exactly right, the way he

123
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: defended with no help, there was no reason to help.

124
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: I mean he he Zubi twice had moves that if

125
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: it was anyone else on the court, he not only

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: tries to score, he likely does no chance with quaintance.

127
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: I want to go back to low though for a second,

128
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: because Jalen Low I've thought since they built this team

129
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: that he had to be good to me. I've said

130
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: going back from the beginning of the season, he had.

131
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: To be a while, he had to be the guy Without.

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: Him, I didn't think we'd be as bad as we were,

133
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: but I knew we wouldn't be good. It is so nice, though, Ryan,

134
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: to see it manifest itself right he.

135
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: Did in that second half.

136
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: He did everything, okay, I mean think about it, Drives

137
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: to the basket, finishing with layups, floaters, he made a

138
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: three great passes, He beat his man off the dribble,

139
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: and that is.

140
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: A good defensive team.

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: Saint John's can't score, but that's a top fifteen defense

142
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: in the country, and he absolutely shredded them. And if

143
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: you go back and look at the possessions where he's in,

144
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: we get a good shot on every possession. Even when

145
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: we miss, we get a good shot. It is unbelievable.

146
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: And then contrast that with when he's out and we

147
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: get no good shots. It feels like every time we score,

148
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: we're almost fortunate. It is unbelievable to see how much

149
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: easier this game is or and how much better this

150
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: team is when he's on the floor.

151
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 7: I gotta be honest, I never thought he was gonna

152
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 7: be an NBA guard. Second half show me he's an

153
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 7: NBA guard just the way like you could.

154
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: He could be. You could be. I don't know if

155
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: he is, but he could be.

156
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: Yep.

157
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 7: And just the things you were talking about that he's

158
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 7: doing that allowed Otaga to do what he does best.

159
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 7: You know, it just improves everybody. It enabled Cam Williams

160
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: to get some open looks and he knocked him down.

161
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 7: He just makes everything better when he's on the floor.

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: All of these guys Drew get to be in their

163
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: actual role. Otaga is the most obvious. I mean, Otaga

164
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: gets to be the secondary score, which is what I

165
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: think he can be, like the best secondary score in

166
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: the country. I still don't believe he's a star. You

167
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: and I fought about that a long time ago, but

168
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: I just don't believe it because I just don't think

169
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: he has the makeup for it. But now he doesn't

170
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: have to be He can be a secondary score. Cam

171
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: Williams is shooting open threes instead of contested threes. Oh

172
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: Diabat is able to be the secondary rebound rather than

173
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: the primary rebounder.

174
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: It just makes through. It just makes everything fit into

175
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: place a lot more.

176
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know you mentioned Cam Williams. I want more

177
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 5: and more Cam Williams a quaintance and Low. Everyone's talking

178
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: about them, as they should, but he was just as

179
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: important in that second half. He had two threes in

180
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: that fourteen oh run. He's been playing good defense. I

181
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: don't know how you fit him in in this puzzle

182
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 5: because you've got to got a lot of got a

183
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: lot of guys that need minutes right now. But I

184
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: want more and more Cam Williams because he seems to

185
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 5: have turned a corner and it is getting better with

186
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 5: each game.

187
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

188
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 2: I mean, I know what you mean by need minutes,

189
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 2: but I actually don't care at this point if they

190
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: get minutes. I mean, I think he needs minutes because

191
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: he's good.

192
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I don't know where to put him

193
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 5: because you got oay than the four, you got Diabaate,

194
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: and I don't minutes from They.

195
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: Played Cam a lot at the three.

196
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know they they played, and normally

197
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: I'd be against that, but I think Quaintance is and

198
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: d are such forces. Now, if you play a team

199
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: that makes a lot of threes, not only shoots them,

200
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: but makes them, you might not be able to get

201
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: away with that.

202
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.

203
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: You know, Alabama's not been shooting consistently well, but if

204
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: you played them and they did, maybe you couldn't do that.

205
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: But you know the lineup that that that made the run,

206
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: Ryan was low Away, Williams.

207
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 3: Diabate, Quaintans Yep, that was it, which on.

208
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: Paper doesn't look like the greatest lineup in the world

209
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: to score, but it worked, and it worked pretty consistently

210
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: during that half. And I'm sure there'll be teams that

211
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: game plan around that, and that will make that hard

212
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: for Kentucky to do. But in that game it worked perfectly.

213
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 7: What did you think about the lineup when he took

214
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 7: Diabatee out and went with two bigs, went with JQ

215
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 7: and Brandon or JQ Marino?

216
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: What do you think about that?

217
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: Okay?

218
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: I was okay, I mean I considered diabate though a

219
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: big too. I mean, I regardless of what I consider him,

220
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: playing like that it you know, I mean, I think

221
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: it'll work. I hate two bigs in general, but I

222
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: think if you've got two guys that can hand, they

223
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: all can handle the ball. Okay, So I do think

224
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: that makes a difference. They can handle the ball. I

225
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: don't know, Drew, if any of them can shoot, we'll see.

226
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: But at least worked in that game, and I think

227
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: it will work Drew in some SEC games. Whether it

228
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: works in all, we'll see.

229
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

230
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: I know Pope's an offensive guy, but with what we

231
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 5: saw Saturday holding Saint John's, I think they's thirty three

232
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: percent from the field, and the way Kentucky rebounded, it's

233
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: just gonna be a defensive, rebounding, tough team that we

234
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: didn't really expect out of a Pope team, but the

235
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 5: way Diabonte and Quaintans, especially we're playing on Saturday, we

236
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: need more of that because that's their strength right now.

237
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: I saw a guy on TikTok say that we can

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: now put in there Ryan the best defensive team in

239
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: the country. And he basically said, if Lowe gets a

240
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: breather and you go Oway, aber Dean, Williams, Diabat Quaintance,

241
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: that that could be the best defensive team in the country.

242
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: He might be right about that. Now, I'm not sure

243
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: if that team can score, so I don't know how

244
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: often you could play those guys together, but he is

245
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: right about that, Like they had a couple possessions with

246
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: that lineup where Saint John's couldn't even fathom getting a

247
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: good shot.

248
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 7: Well, you know, we talked earlier this season how we

249
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 7: thought they'd be an elite defensive team, and then we

250
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 7: got a little pushback because we're like, they didn't look

251
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: like it. But I think you're right. I think they

252
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 7: had the pieces there with that lineup you're just talking

253
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 7: about right now, they can lock people down, all.

254
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: Right, So let's talk. Okay, So now we have seen

255
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: them be good. Granted Drew for one half. Okay, we

256
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: all have criticized everyone in the fan base has criticized

257
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: the makeup of this roster. It is only one half,

258
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: and I still have one major caveat that I think

259
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: we're missing. But do you now say maybe the construction

260
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: of this roster is better than people had given it

261
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: credit for.

262
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 5: I'm still worried about not having a backup point guard,

263
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: and I'll say it's definitely better than we were saying.

264
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: It looked like a week couple weeks ago. But even

265
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 5: even though Low came back just the way he got hurt,

266
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 5: just sticking his arm out there, I still worry that

267
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: they're just walking a thin line right now with health.

268
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 5: But if he can somehow stay healthy, as you've talked

269
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 5: about how important he is, then I think they can

270
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 5: be special. And it worked out, but I'm just still

271
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 5: worried about not having a true backup option.

272
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: There.

273
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: Agree totally, And I also think, right we're still a

274
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: shooter short. Right, I still worry that we're gonna play

275
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: a team that makes a lot of threes and we

276
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: don't have guys that can match them. But with that said,

277
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: those two caveats, Low stays healthy, and maybe Chandler or

278
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: know what, somebody starts making threes, then I think.

279
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 3: It's a really good construction of a roster. But I'm

280
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: going to be sitting there all year like I don't know, like.

281
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: A like a mother with like a six year old,

282
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: going please don't get hurt, Please don't get hurt.

283
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: Please don't get hurt. Like that's how I'm gonna be

284
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: with low all season long.

285
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 7: And it's gonna happen again. You guys are right, he's

286
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 7: gonna get bumped again. It's gonna hurt again. The fact though,

287
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 7: that he wants to play enough to go go to

288
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 7: the locker room and come back out and just tells

289
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 7: me that the dude's gonna do everything he can to

290
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 7: stay on the court.

291
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: Now, you mentioned shooting.

292
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: Didn't everybody assume he was out for the year.

293
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: I did, Oh yeah, I did. Set all he's done.

294
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: He's not gonna mean by.

295
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: Somebody wrote me on the text machine because I had

296
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: just written a tweet that was like, well, Jalen needs

297
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: to be selfish and just not play, and then they

298
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: wrote me and they're like he's warming up, and I thought, no,

299
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: he's not.

300
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: Like I was shocked.

301
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, kind of inspiring man, to come back. Do you

302
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 7: know we had a point guard not long ago that

303
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 7: had had a little injury and then set out the

304
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 7: rest of the season set up like the last six games.

305
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: Part of the scare is he walks straight into the

306
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 5: locker room.

307
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Who are you talking about?

308
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: Severe? At once? He didn't play like the last what

309
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: five games?

310
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: Why did you make the little a little boom boo,

311
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: new boom boo and decided nothing to play? But you

312
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: don't know what was wrong with him?

313
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: Well we kind of know.

314
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: Oh he wasn't laying at all on the line for

315
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 5: that team that you're that's true, a fair point.

316
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: And now Jalen Low is okay, wow here, I want

317
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: to say.

318
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: One more thing.

319
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 7: You're mentioned the shooting what there were four or sixteen,

320
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 7: and one of them was Mohamad about day three pointer.

321
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 7: I mean, you're they've got it. You're right, They've got

322
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 7: to find another shooter somewhere. Trent and Chandler have got there.

323
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: First of all, Chandler's gonna have to shoot.

324
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: He looks scared to shoot right now, and somebody's gonna

325
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: have to make shots. I do believe that you're not

326
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: going to keep winning shooting twenty five percent, But with

327
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: Jalen low it is a different situation. AFI I've nine

328
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine

329
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

330
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: We will take your calls, talk more about the game,

331
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: including the blow by handshake at the end.

332
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: What was about? What was that about?

333
00:14:53,240 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: We'll be right back, Welcome back in this Kentucky Sports Radio.

334
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: If I eight twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven

335
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: seven two seven seven four five two five four.

336
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: One person rights.

337
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: I bet Severe Wheeler didn't get up today and think

338
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: Ryan Lemon would take shots at him.

339
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: On the radio.

340
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: Pay well, why why? Why are you taking shots at

341
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: him though?

342
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: I mean he just like, do you really think he

343
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: could have played the last games and just didn't?

344
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: Part of me? Does yes?

345
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 3: Part of you or you genuinely think it's true.

346
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: I generally think it's true.

347
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: Okay, One person rights. Jayalen Lowe is favoring his arm.

348
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: You can see it fingers crossed for his health in

349
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: the season. He clearly is drew. He clearly if you

350
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: watch him, he runs in a way to try to

351
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: protect that arm. I think a couple times you're gonna

352
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: see teams exploit this. He's very hesitant to go into

353
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: picks right shoulder first. So for him, you know, when

354
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: when a defender is driving, I guess to their left

355
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: and his right, he's hesitant to watch.

356
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: He kind of goes on.

357
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure teams are gonna exploit that with said Drew,

358
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: that's what he needs to do.

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: I'd rather him give up layups than get hurt.

360
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we saw how fragile he is when seven seconds

361
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 5: into the game when he heard it that wasn't even

362
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 5: really a hard contact. I mean, he was kind of

363
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: just trying to stop the ball and got bumped and

364
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: next thing you know, he's running through the tunnel. So

365
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: we know it's it's very close to going at any

366
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: moment there. And I know some people have already brought

367
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: this up. I would consider letting him chill tomorrow against Bellerman.

368
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 5: I know he needs a little run to keep getting

369
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 5: his way back, but I wouldn't push him at all

370
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: in a game that should be a blowout.

371
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't play.

372
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if I can't imagine there being a reason

373
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: to play, I hope and uh, you know, but he

374
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: did say I thought he had a good attitude about it.

375
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: He said something like, you know, I could get hurt

376
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: at any moment. I can't sit and think about it.

377
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: And Ryan, I do think that's true. He can't sit.

378
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: He can't. It's clear he's favoring it, but he also

379
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: can't sit in like try not to get hurt because

380
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: like there's only so much he.

381
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: Can do about that.

382
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: Both of the place where he's been hurt have looked

383
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: like nothing when they happened.

384
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 7: And look, he's not that type of player that's gonna

385
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 7: take it easy. He's gonna go full out as much

386
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 7: as he can. But you guys, you know he sits

387
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 7: out at Bellerman. You got a long break when you

388
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 7: play Alabama, You've got to deal with ten days, you know,

389
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 7: letting get heal up a little bit.

390
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I I want to see Quaintan's play

391
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: against Bellerman, but the other shots.

392
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: Who played as well as he did for as long

393
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: as he did.

394
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 5: Poor Bellerman getting the spot on the schedule where Quaintance

395
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: just decides to break out and become shack and then

396
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 5: they're the next team up feel bad for their time.

397
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: Didn't you think about the blow by handshake?

398
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 7: Uh that somebody there is a bad sore loser. I

399
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 7: took it that Patino's mad because he lost, and he

400
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 7: just doesn't want to make nice nice at this moment.

401
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 7: And they they went out for dinner the night before,

402
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: they made nice nice then not then not after the game?

403
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: Thought it was weird. I mean, normally you would think

404
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: in that moment they would have some sort of embrace.

405
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that they had spent time together.

406
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: I know it wasn't the first time seeing each other,

407
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: but I did think, Drew it was a little weird,

408
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: didn't you.

409
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: I did too.

410
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 5: You know, Patino's quick to make a video telling us

411
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 5: what to think and do and speaking about mock Pope

412
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 5: as captain, and it's he's always trying to insert himself

413
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 5: in Pope's time here at Kentucky. And then when it

414
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: comes time to have a moment after the game give

415
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 5: a little photo op, a hug and congratulations, he just

416
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 5: blows right by him, especially since he was.

417
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: A little sarcastic during the game, right when he did

418
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: that interview and.

419
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: Said, uh, we're all choir boys or whatever.

420
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's feeling himself in the first half when they

421
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: were winning by seven, but then when it.

422
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: Flip feeling himself huh. Absolutely, all of a sudden, he

423
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: got he got quiet there. Yeah yeah, I mean they.

424
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 4: Didn't want to give us the photo a photo op.

425
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: I mean they can't score like we think we can't

426
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: score like they at least against our defense.

427
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: They couldn't score like.

428
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize Drew Bryce Hopkins was out there

429
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: most of the game, did you.

430
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm man, He's it's crazy how he hasn't taken

431
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: a step forward, really, and Patino called him out last

432
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: week about how he's not an alpha and he needs

433
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 5: a complete personality makeover. But he's still just kind of

434
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: out there going through the motions. But we saw his

435
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: freshman season here, there's so much more and he just

436
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 5: can't get it out of him.

437
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he you know, he can't really one person Right's

438
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: mad at the team on the second half plays like

439
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: that all year. I think this is a Final four team.

440
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: What about you all? I mean I would still slow down.

441
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: I still think you don't have a backup point guard.

442
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: You're very susceptible to anything that keeps low out, whether

443
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: it's an injury or foul problems. And I still don't

444
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: think you have a really good shooter. But I do

445
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: think now. I guess what I would say right is

446
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: I do think now there's hope, and that is what

447
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: is exciting, because I don't know if I thought there

448
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: was hope until right now.

449
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I think it's a little hope now.

450
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 7: Still some things they got to clean up, Like you said,

451
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 7: shooting too many turnovers. Still, I think they had more

452
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 7: to turnovers and assists even in the game, So they

453
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 7: still got some things they got to clean up. Do

454
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 7: you become a Final four team?

455
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: I think, Rick, we have some breaking news.

456
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

457
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick has hired Bobby Petrino as his offensive corter.

458
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, the clown show just gets better.

459
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: Oh, Bobby Petrino will be joining North Carolina as Bill

460
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: Belichick's offensive coordinator. You can't write that, or like you

461
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: couldn't make that up, ladies, watch out there on the town.

462
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

463
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 5: I know they'd never sign off on it, but we

464
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 5: need a documentary crew in there for like a hard

465
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: knocks kind of show following these two around Chapel Hill.

466
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: Wow, and they get too easy for Carolina.

467
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: North Carolina. You are North Carolina.

468
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: You're one of the best public universities in America.

469
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: Wow, Bobby Petrino.

470
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: That's a shocker to me. I can't believe. I can't

471
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 2: believe you and see would hire that guy.

472
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: Well, there you go.

473
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: It just goes to show in sports people will do

474
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: anything if they think you can win.

475
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: Who's up next? God, Scott up? Scott? Go ahead, Scott.

476
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, guys.

477
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: How are you all doing doing good?

478
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 8: We took the trip down to the game, and I'm

479
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 8: gonna tell you it was just awesome. Really felt like

480
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 8: we needed that. The atmosphere was great.

481
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: Talk to me about the atmosphere. Talk to me before

482
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: you do a question.

483
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the atmosphere, because that was one

484
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: of those moments that I really regretted not being there.

485
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 3: What was it like in there.

486
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 8: Well, it was an electric It started with just around town.

487
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 8: I mean it was blue everywhere. But you know, just

488
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 8: about forty five minutes to the game, I mean, the

489
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 8: line was just ridiculous to get into the place, but

490
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 8: everybody was just fired up, positive vibes. It was incredible.

491
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 8: You get in excitement. Of course, it was such a

492
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 8: such an amazing thing because you go from being high

493
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 8: to when low goes out. I mean just you could

494
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 8: feel the air just leave the stadium. It was crazy. Yeah,

495
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 8: and uh and then Quayton's comes in. So you're you're

496
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 8: you're you're excited, you know going, Yeah, you're excited.

497
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: I just have we just have thirty seconds, So give

498
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: me a question if you would.

499
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, no problem, it's it's a comment when when second

500
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 8: half was starting, Low got out there to warm up.

501
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 8: Was amazing. But I don't know if anybody else saw this.

502
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 8: We were sitting behind the Kentucky bench while the team

503
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 8: was huddling. Right before the second half throw in, Low

504
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 8: wrote runs over to the stands and over behind the

505
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 8: Kentucky bench. He's talking to somebody for a minute while

506
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 8: the team's huddled up, and I mean he's talking almost

507
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 8: when the team is, you know, getting ready to get

508
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 8: to tend court. He rolls out to the He rolls

509
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 8: out to the court, taps Pope and says, I'm good

510
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 8: to go, gives him a thumbs up. So that that

511
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 8: was interesting.

512
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: That was awesome.

513
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they decided right until the

514
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: last second to have him play.

515
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 3: We'll take a break right back, KSR.

516
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio eight five, nine, two eighth,

517
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven uh text for Seene seven seven

518
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: two seven seven four five two five four one person

519
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: rights Matt. I think the blowby was because Kentucky scored

520
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: with eight seconds left and it made Patino Matt, maybe,

521
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: but he can get over that, Ryan, I don't. I

522
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: don't understand. First of all, they were pressing. Okay, if

523
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: they're pressing and you break the press, you score. Secondly,

524
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: just stop people. I was talking about this yesterday on

525
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: cover zero, Like, when when did we decide that you

526
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: just stopped playing a sport at the end of the game.

527
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 3: I don't.

528
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: I mean, why, why explain to me why it's bad

529
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: that he that he scores right there.

530
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 7: I don't know why that trend started, because you're right,

531
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 7: it always used to be a chance to you know,

532
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 7: even the walk on to get a chance for them

533
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 7: to get a bucket in or something at the end

534
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 7: of the game.

535
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: I don't.

536
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 7: I don't know what happened, But like you said, they

537
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 7: were still competitive. James Leith made the final basket at

538
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 7: the end of the seventy eight Championship with a dunk

539
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 7: and the game was all But it was kind of

540
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 7: explanation point and it's.

541
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: One of the most famous moment of that game in

542
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: some ways.

543
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand why we decided this was

544
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: somehow bad form.

545
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 3: But even if you think it is bad form.

546
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: Drew they were pressing, So if they're going to press,

547
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: then you cannot expect them not to score.

548
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 5: Right, right, And I don't think Patino would have been

549
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: mad at that because he was pressing and he might

550
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 5: not have seen him. But Pope tried to stop Diabata

551
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: from scoring. He put up his hands. He was just

552
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 5: too late. I mean, I didn't think it was that

553
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 5: big of a deal it at all, but you saw

554
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 5: the Saint John's took offense and it's it's been happening

555
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 5: in the NBA a lot lately. They've had actual fights

556
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 5: because of the guy's got and done a layup with

557
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: you know, as time runs out, all.

558
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 2: These tough players could do what mainly and then you

559
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: score and you're like, hey, you're not being fair, you're

560
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: not being sportsmanship, Like I don't. I don't get that

561
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: at all, and that it was not always like that.

562
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't that that's been a change, and I don't guess.

563
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: I don't think I was at the meeting where they

564
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: decided that that was gonna be it.

565
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: One person, rights Matt.

566
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: That sounded like one of our best crowds in a

567
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: long time. I loved listening to how loud it was

568
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: with the traveling fans. I think, obviously the crowd was great.

569
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: Part of it, I'm convinced, Drew, is how they mike

570
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: these games, because on ESPN, I think they turned the

571
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: announcers up and the crowd down. And on CBS, I

572
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: think they turned the crowd up and the announcers down

573
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 2: because I could barely hear Bruce.

574
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: Pearl and Bill Laftery.

575
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: I could barely hear what they said, but the crowd

576
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: was loud. If I'm right about that, that it depends

577
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: on how loud you turn the crowd or not. Now,

578
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: Billy says, also the radio bro he thinks the people

579
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: in Atlanta screwed up the crowd because they couldn't even

580
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: turn it down on the radio. So maybe that was

581
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: just an en arena thing. But which do you prefer

582
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: it the way ESPN does it, the way CBS does it?

583
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 5: I think CBS is a much better product, But I

584
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 5: will say I didn't if there were moments where even

585
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 5: thought like, I can't tell you thing Bruce Pearl said, like,

586
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was just him not adding

587
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 5: much or the fact that it was turned down, but

588
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 5: I was really excited to hear from Bruce Pearl, and

589
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 5: nothing really jumped out from me. And part of it

590
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 5: was it was kind of quiet with the announcers talking.

591
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 2: I could not hear those guys at all, which I mean,

592
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: I guess it doesn't really matter, but but Ryan, I.

593
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: Mean, especially Bruce Pearl, Bill Raftery.

594
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: I can hear a little bit, but I feel like

595
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't hear Bruce Pearl say anything a lot of

596
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: the game.

597
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: I agree.

598
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 4: You know, we're sitting at home watching it turning the

599
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 4: volume up.

600
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 5: Now.

601
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 7: I got a friend that went to both games, Gonzaga

602
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 7: and Nashville and the Saint Johnsan Atlanta. He said the

603
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 7: crowd was louder in Nashville, but on the TV it

604
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 7: sounded louder louder in Atlanta, didn't.

605
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: It just shows how much they can manipulate it with

606
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: those like knobs of whether or not you turn it,

607
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: turn it up or not. Another person writes, Matt, what

608
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: do you think about Patino calling you guys out in

609
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: the media.

610
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 4: We weren't part of that are.

611
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 2: I haven't written anything in a long time, but but

612
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, okay, So his point is, you

613
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: guys gave up on this too much, and there was

614
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of that from some folks in the fans.

615
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: Here's what I would say. The job, the job of.

616
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: A media person is not to be the cheerleader. And

617
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: I think some people are naturally optimist. Some people are

618
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 2: naturally pessimist. But even if you were an optimist, I

619
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: don't know how anyone could have looked after that Gonzaga

620
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: game and said things are going well. Even leave aside

621
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: low ac quaintance. The issue drew after the Gonzaga game

622
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: was not just that the team wasn't well constructed, is

623
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: that they were not playing hard. That was my problem.

624
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: They were not playing hard. So I'm not surprised.

625
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: They're a lot better with Low.

626
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: I thought it would be like that all season, but

627
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 2: I was upset that they weren't playing hard, and so

628
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: I think the criticisms that the media had us included

629
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: were drew completely fair. Now, if you gave up and

630
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: said Pope can't recruit, Pope's not good, that's a different point.

631
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: But I didn't make any of those points. But if you're.

632
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: Making the comment of this has been disappointing, I think

633
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: that was totally fair, then.

634
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 5: I do too the fire Pope crowd. They were a

635
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 5: little little early on that I thought, but overall, that

636
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: was not a fun month to start the season. And

637
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 5: sure those guys are out, but you still paid a

638
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 5: lot of money for Brandon Garrison and a lot of

639
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: the roster and to get embarrassed the way they did

640
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 5: in those games and just not even show up, that's

641
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 5: a different conversation than losing. If you go out and

642
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 5: lose by four and some of your best players are out,

643
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 5: all right, you can brush that one off and get

644
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 5: excited when you can get healthy. But they looked terrible

645
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 5: in those games, and that's why the criticism was fair.

646
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 5: They should have been much better than they were, even

647
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 5: if they weren't able to win.

648
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: Totally agree. Who's up next? Rick? Ryan is up next? Ryan?

649
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Ryan?

650
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 9: How you doing? Matt's been a while since I called

651
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 9: you first ball. I want to miss briss all you guys,

652
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 9: and Merry Christmas and a happy New Year at parents

653
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 9: and prayers for your family, Matt, your dad. A couple

654
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 9: of times here I got a question for you. Go

655
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 9: for it, uh Quentin and uh Lowell. You know, they

656
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 9: pressed us and then we turned around and pressed on them.

657
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 9: But one thing on the press. When they were pressing

658
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 9: us our ball, our guys were not moving. They just

659
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 9: stood still. You've got to move.

660
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: I understand that.

661
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 9: You know a lot of them not agile, not agile,

662
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 9: But we were awful if we do when somebody's pressing.

663
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 2: Yet if we had lost that game, Okay, hang on,

664
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: hang on, just take.

665
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: A break, okay, okay, take a breaker. My name is

666
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 3: not Mike. I appreciate the call.

667
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 9: You I mean, I mean Matt, I mean Matt.

668
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, hang on, I don't remember what you said. Now,

669
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: all right, go ahead, do your second point. But the press,

670
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: the press, okay, So that drove me insane, right, it

671
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: drove me insane.

672
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: We had three turnovers just the amounting the ball in

673
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: the press.

674
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: We didn't get the ball, and well, but he's exactly right.

675
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: We didn't do anything. We just stood there with our

676
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: left arm up trying to lob the passes. I'm convinced,

677
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: and I like Mark a lot. He didn't run one

678
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: thing to get them ready for that press.

679
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that.

680
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, they were doing the Cali Perry place and the

681
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 7: biggest guy, just Dan with these arms.

682
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: Perry would do that on an inbounds play on our

683
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: own side of the basket. And while I didn't like

684
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 2: that either, that's even different than a press. I mean,

685
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: you're sitting there trying to lob it drew to guards

686
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: who aren't that tall to begin with.

687
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: I just I hated it so much against the Saint

688
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: John's team that can really make you pay doing that too.

689
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 5: And you're right, it was obvious they didn't have any

690
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 5: plan in place or practice for that much to just

691
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 5: try the old lobb it up inbounds.

692
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: And they never adjusted either, by the way, well at

693
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: any point in the game, they just kept doing it,

694
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: all right, what's your second thing?

695
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 9: The question is if we got a call in show while,

696
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 9: are we not taking callin calls on the big blue line.

697
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 9: I don't understand that there's been criticism, but if you're

698
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 9: a coach at Kentucky, you should take calls. I don't

699
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 9: understand that, and I want Charles to pay.

700
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: I think there's two reasons I appreciate the call. One

701
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: reason is that they didn't they didn't get a lot

702
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: of calls. I mean, that's one of the reasons it

703
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: was like Bob and Jamestown every week. But then another

704
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: reason is when things go bad, they don't want to

705
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: take calls.

706
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: So I agree with you. If it's just gonna be

707
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: a leech Pope.

708
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: Monologue every week, then you probably shouldn't call it the

709
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: Call It Show because I because they don't really take calls.

710
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: So but I mean, that's the way it goes. Who's next,

711
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: edt ed, go ahead?

712
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 7: Ed?

713
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: Ed? All right, no, ed, Who's next? Okay? Up? Next

720
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 10: catch on fire on the side of seventy five.

721
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,560

723
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680

00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: drove by saw your UK gear and your car on fire.

725
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: But did I hear you? Still manage to get to

00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: the game.

727
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 10: Yes, we made it to Atlanta about eleven o'clock.

728
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 8: Saturday morning.

729
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 3: All right, so what happened to your car?

730
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 10: H Well, we were driving along every single sign and

731
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 10: lost all power, pulled over, popped the hood and it

732
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 10: was already on fire. I'm really not sure what happened.

733
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry about that.

734
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 6: Is it is?

Speaker 3: Is it gone?

737
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, it's completely gone.

738
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: Well all right, well I'm sorry. But at least you

739
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: got to go to the game. So that was good.

740
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, we may there once. You know, it is what

741
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,280

742
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: I say, well, if you can say it was a

743
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: good weekend when your car caught on fire, I think

744
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: you got a pretty good, pretty positive outlook on life.

745
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 10: Its first time I'd ever experienced Katlan in person. And

749
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,280

750
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,360

Speaker 2: lost the first set, which we should have won. We

784
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: were up six points at one point, kind of lost

785
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: all momentum and then you know, the Texas A and

786
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: M run continues. It's a bummer to get to all

787
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 2: the way the championship drew and lose. I saw they

788
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: kicked you out early and then we just never were

789
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: able to come back.

790
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think my gens had anything to do

791
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 5: with that, when they just got absolutely dominated. I didn't

792
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 5: watch all thirty three or whatever their matches this season,

793
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 5: but I have to assume that has to be one

794
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 5: of their worst performances. They just couldn't get anything going

795
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 5: after they lost that first set. I mean, you have

796
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 5: set point there and can take a lead, and the

797
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 5: blow it like that. They were just never in it

798
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 5: from there, and it didn't help. It didn't help that

799
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 5: it sounded like A and M had ninety nine percent

800
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: of the crowd getting them going to They had all

801
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 5: the energy, all the momentum, and they ran away with it.

802
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think the Nebraska for some reason volleyball of

803
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: the other teams hate us, like the other fan bases,

804
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: because Nebraska had over half.

805
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 4: The fans there.

806
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: They all cheered for Texas A and M, which I

807
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 2: don't understand why Nebraska would care either way. I guess

808
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: it was because they had beaten Nebraska, but I don't

809
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: really understand why they would care.

810
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 3: But it does seem like the other fans.

811
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: Really don't like us, and I don't know why that is,

812
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: but it did sound like the crowd was very pro

813
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: Ryan A and M yesterday.

814
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

815
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's because we're the new kid

816
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 7: on the block and the SEC's kind of not been

817
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 7: the dominant in volleyball, so we're trying to take over

818
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 7: two SEC teams in the championship. Nebraska anti Kentucky for

819
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 7: whatever reason. But yeah, more than half the crowd was

820
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 7: Nebraska people rooting against Kentucky apparently.

821
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 3: So we had a good crew. Was it fun at

822
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: the bar? I saw it was packed.

823
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: It was awesome.

824
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 7: It was a great environment. Every table was full. We

825
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 7: had a line of waiting line to get in all

826
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 7: that excitement. We jump out by six, everybody's happy and

827
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 7: then just watch it just slowly fall apart.

828
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: I got there early knowing I wouldn't be staying, and

829
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 5: I was shocked by how many people were already in

830
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 5: their seats well before it even began.

831
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

832
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: Well, I hate that we lost, and uh, but shout

833
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: out to Craig Skinner and that team.

834
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: They made it really exciting this year getting to the

835
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 3: championship game. And you know, I think he's gonna.

836
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: Have multiple more years of having a chance to have

837
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: a top program here. I think his entire team are

838
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: there's only one senior, right, am? I correct?

839
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 6: It was?

840
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't Hudson the only senior.

841
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 5: It's a big one to lose, but they still are

842
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 5: built to make another run next year.

843
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: She's the one lost.

844
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 5: As long as they retain everybody.

845
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's uh. They I think they got a

846
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 3: big time future ahead. Who's next?

847
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 4: Got Joe up next?

848
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: Joe, go ahead, Joe.

849
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 6: Oh man, I'm going to tackle what you just talked

850
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 6: about why Nebraska fans weren't pull Farest. Do you ever

851
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 6: think maybe they think they maybe made her own ois

852
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 6: and picking blost bomb Kelly the Lottsville coast over coach Skinner. Uh,

853
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 6: that might be.

854
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, but they don't like us, which is weird.

855
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 6: That's all right, they'll get over. Here's my big comment. Uh,

856
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 6: Coach will Side, he really hasn't formulated or or I

857
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 6: haven't heard a special team coordinator. And I think that Matt,

858
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 6: I'm serious about this, that might be his most important

859
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 6: of whoever he designates to be his special team coordinator,

860
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 6: because I've always said this about Kentucky. If you have

861
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 6: good special teams, you've got a chance. And if he

862
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 6: can get the right coast that is special teams, then

863
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 6: I think we got an outside chance win six games.

864
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 6: And the last question is did you make the Body

865
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 6: and Clydes over the weekend?

866
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: Mate?

867
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: I did not make Bonning and Clydes. Unfortunately I got

868
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: tied up. And we'll talk about this a little bit more.

869
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: In the second hour. I got into my head about

870
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: this play by play, and it led me to.

871
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: Stay at home and work all weekend.

872
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: But so I didn't end up doing that, but I

873
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: you know, I have not heard about the special teams

874
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: coordinator will Stein wins. So he's gonna at least be

875
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 2: staying there through the first of the year and we'll

876
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: see what We'll see what happens. But will Stein will

877
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 2: remain there and he's gonna continue to have to go

878
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: doing double duty at least right up until the opening

879
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: of the portal. So that'll be interesting to see how

880
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: that works. Who's next.

881
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 3: Up next is Corey Corey?

882
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Corey, Good morning everybody. So I was at

883
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 11: the game of set second row down there, and you

884
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 11: guys have shown some interest in the environment. Something cool

885
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 11: that wasn't on the broadcast was during the lineups. Whenever

886
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 11: they were calling Saint John's, Rick Patino and Bryce Hopkins

887
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 11: both got applause from Kentucky fans. Now it wasn't like

888
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 11: a roaring It wasn't like a roaring applause like for

889
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 11: our guys, but more like you know, when you sink

890
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 11: a seven foot putt. It was kind of like that,

891
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 11: but still there was no booze. So I thought that

892
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 11: was really cool. And another thing that was really first off,

893
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 11: I've gone to a lot of games that ru up

894
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 11: some of the bigger games like Kansas and Zaga and

895
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 11: all that. This may be the best environment I've been

896
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 11: in as far as the crowd the cheers. Of course,

897
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 11: it was probably eighty percent Kentucky fans there, so that

898
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 11: was that was cool. But the guys they seemed different.

899
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 11: They were having fun on the sidelines. Every time they

900
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 11: come down in front of us. They were smiling. Of

901
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 11: course they were up by then, but they were just

902
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 11: having a good time.

903
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: No, it was definitely a.

904
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: Different definitely a different mindset for the players. You could

905
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: tell they looked a lot happier. And I appreciate the call,

906
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 2: and it is without question Ryan drew that the Kentucky

907
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: fan base on the road, but specifically in Atlanta and Nashville,

908
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: it is just a different fan base. And it can

909
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: be because, like we talked about, they party leading up

910
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: to it. It's people who don't normally go. But I

911
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: would suggest that for big time home games, if you

912
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: promised me we get to control the tickets, I almost would.

913
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: They're playing in Atlanta and Nashville because the crowd is

914
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: so much better down though there.

915
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of those fans they don't get to

916
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 7: go to Rupprino and like the caller, this is their

917
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 7: one game a year, get a travel, make a big

918
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 7: deal of it, make a big weekend of it, and

919
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 7: that's why it's so exciting.

920
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: But it also just I think it just attracts a

921
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: different kind of person, Drew. You know, I mean, I

922
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: I I'm nothing against RUP, but I think people who

923
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: have season tickets get complacent about it. They don't do

924
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: that for these trips. They're basing their entire reasoning around going.

925
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 5: And you just said it it's a trip. I mean

926
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 5: having just spent a lot of money to go to

927
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 5: Gonzaga when I purchased that last April. I mean, you're

928
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 5: looking forward to that for months and months and months,

929
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 5: and when it finally gets there, it's all just bent

930
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 5: up and you're ready to let it out for the game,

931
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 5: unlike when you get a routine of going to home

932
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 5: games at RUP.

933
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish we could find a way to get

934
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: some of that energy and rough.

935
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: I think it's hard, but I am for I would

936
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 2: be four playing a game in Atlanta and Nashville almost

937
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: every year because I think that is the best of

938
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky crowds and in some ways. These regular season games

939
