1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the Local Trade Dealers KSR postgame Show.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: The Cats put on a nice show tonight down in Nashville,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: winning one oh nine seventy seven over Vanderbilt. You could

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: give us a shout. We'll go ahead and open up

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: the phones if you're up this late and just kind

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: of hanging out with us. This is a kind of

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: postgame we show we haven't had in a few weeks,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: kind of a laid back, celebratory postgame show. Kentucky wins

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: by thirty two, eight five nine twenty two eighty seven.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: The Cats did exactly pretty much everything you would have

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: hoped this game. They came out, scored the first five points,

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: got up five to nothing, never trailed. Honestly, the game

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: was really never in question at any point. It was

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of It was a great performance by by UK.

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought they did pretty much. Everybody got

16
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: in on the act. Six guys in double figures. You

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: got to see a couple of Kentucky's elite scores go off.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Rob Dillingham in the first half had sixteen or thirteen points,

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: including three threes pretty close together. Looked great. Antonio Reeves

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: had a couple different flurries of points, finished with twenty four,

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: So two of the big time scores kind of had

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: one of their games like they have. Antonio Reeves has

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: between nineteen and twenty four points every single game. And

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: then some guys that we haven't gotten to talk about

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: as much had big nights. Great Justin Ewards was seventeen.

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: I was happy for him. He looked really for the

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: first time in a long time, he looked comfortable on

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: the court. I think it's important that he played the

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: four quite a bit. Sort of injury and circumstance I

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: think caused him to have to play the four, and

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: I actually like how he looked there. I thought he

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: was able to do the things he does best, worry

33
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: less about hanging out the top of the key, attack,

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: get to the rim, rebound. I really like him at

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: the fore. I've kind of always felt like he's a

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: college four, and I thought he played really, really well

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: seventeen points. That dunk was was terrific. I mean, you

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: can see some of the some of the potential that

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: everybody saw coming in with that dunk, and it was

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: awesome see him play well. And then a couple guys,

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, big z Man eleven minutes or twelve minutes,

42
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: eleven points. He he comes in and he fills up

43
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the stats no matter what points, rebounds, fouls, when he's in,

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's in. And I thought it was great

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: to see him play well tonight too. And then Jordan Burks,

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: a guy with thirteen. I mean, Jordan Burk's the dude

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: that it's easy to forget sometimes is on the team.

48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't get a lot of minutes. He

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, is just kind of been the odd man out,

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: and tonight look great. There's a lot of potential with

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: him if he can score, because I think he is

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: a pretty good defender. The worry has been can he score?

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: And you know, you put up thirteen hit a three.

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: So it was nice to see, but I thought Bradshaw

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: was better. Pretty Much everybody played well. I mean, Shepard

56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: was the only guy who kind of didn't score what

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: he normally does, and he was still plus thirty five

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: for the game, so he was, you know, still really good.

59
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: Probably the only guy that you might have said had

60
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: a disappointing game was Hugo. But again, when you win

61
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: by thirty two on the road, you're not gonna be picky.

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Vandy is not good. But you know what, when you

63
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: win and beat anybody on the road by that margin,

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: I think you gotta be happy with it. You got

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: to be. It's a step in the right direction after

66
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: a couple of very sort of negative games. And now

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: you get Gonzaga Saturday. That's a game that you need

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: to win. You should win. You're better than them this year.

69
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: They're not the Gonzaga team of the last few years.

70
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: But you had to stop the bleeding. This would have

71
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: been a loss here would have been devastating. And so

72
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: to win, win, but not only win, but do it

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: thoroughly and really never been in danger, and with the

74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: offense kind of clicking, you know, in sec play. It

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: really just the offense is We've put up a lot

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: of points in games, including against Tennessee, but it just

77
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: hasn't quite felt exactly the same. This felt like the

78
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: offense we saw for the first ten to fourteen games

79
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of the year, and so now let's hope they can

80
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: keep it up. They got Gonzaga and Old Miss at home.

81
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: Win those two, and then you go to Auburn and

82
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: that's probably the hardest atmosphere they face all year. But

83
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: if you could somehow get a win, you know, that

84
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: would be a good way to get back some of

85
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: what you lost last week. Nine twenty two eighty seven. Billy,

86
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: We you know, we did the pregame show. We got

87
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: a little Bucks sons right now, Janni's just dunked on

88
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: somebody's face. Devin Booker's new shoes coming out. We'll try

89
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: to keep this interesting on what was otherwise a pretty

90
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: routine win. But that's what we needed, and we got

91
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: it done, and we will take a break and be

92
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: right back. This is the Kentucky Selection or no, it's

93
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the Local Toyota Dealers KSR postgame Show. Quarterback, It is

94
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: the Local toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Eighty five, nine

95
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A couple of

96
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: people writing him. One person writes Matt talk about how

97
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: the South Carolina loss is not as bad as we thought. Well,

98
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I never thought that loss was bad. I thought it

99
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: was bad that it was by sixteen, and I still

100
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: think that's not great. But I never look losing games.

101
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: You'll always hear from me. Losing games at home is

102
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: a much bigger deal to me than losing on the road.

103
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: Every single year, even really good Kentucky teams will drop

104
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: a game or two on the road that they shouldn't.

105
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: I thought the game that we shouldn't was going to

106
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: be South Carolina. It looks like the game we shouldn't

107
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: probably be A and M. And South Carolina makes sense

108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: because they're eight and two in conference and they look really,

109
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: really good. My concern is more the home losses. North

110
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: Carolina of course lost at home today. They're they're an

111
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: odd team because on when they're when they're hit, when

112
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: they're kind of locked in, they look great. But I

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I still think right now Yukon

114
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: and Purdue look like the two best teams with like

115
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: a group, and maybe Houston with like a group that

116
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: includes I think Carolina, Kansas, and a couple other teams

117
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: below them. But I don't think there's any team that's

118
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: great this year, and so it's another year that if

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: you could go on a run and you have a

120
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 1: chance to make some noise in the tournament. One person writes, Matt,

121
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: what do you think is the budget for the buckle up,

122
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: put your Phone down commercial? That's a great question, Billy.

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I think, conservatively believe I've heard that song twenty three

124
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: times today?

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Just today, Yeah, just today.

126
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean I drove a lot today so I was

127
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: in the car quite a bit. And then we had

128
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: it on the morning show, and we had it on

129
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: the pregame show, and I heard it on Col's postgame

130
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: and then I just heard it here, so I do.

131
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: And then I think I just heard it on regular radio.

132
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: So what do you think? How many times do you

133
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: think that song has played this college basketball season? Oh?

134
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: This season?

135
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: Oh boy, thousands of times at least. I mean, do

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: you think.

137
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: There's anyone that is a UK sports fan that could

138
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: not sing buck Up? Put your phone now?

139
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Uh?

140
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know.

142
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: I feel like, if they at Raperena, if they want

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: to get the crowd hype against Gonzaga, just play buckle Up,

144
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: put your phone now, because I think the whole audience

145
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: will have to see.

146
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: I had somebody shadow me in the studio today, possibly

147
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: hiring a part timer, and he specifically said he hated

148
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: that song. And that's the first person I've met that

149
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: didn't like that song.

150
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: So well, okay, I mean I like it. I will say, though,

151
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: it's getting into that point where like I feel like

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be in my I feel like I'm

153
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: going to be on my deathbed at the point where

154
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: like I have a hard time remembering who is who

155
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: and they're gonna look at me and they go, do

156
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: you know who this person is? And like it might

157
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: be my maybe it'll be my currently non existent son, right,

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: and I'll just go no, but he should buckle up

159
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: and put his phone down. I feel like we're getting

160
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: to that point. But hey, it's working because we because

161
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: we know it. Hey, if I'm nine eighty seven, who's

162
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: up first?

163
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: We'll start with Red?

164
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Red? How are you read?

165
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 4: Good?

166
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: Matt, I'm here in Clemson. I just wanted to give

167
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 5: a shout out to the Tigers taking down the taller

168
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 5: hole tonight. That was pretty awesome. I wanted to say,

169
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: I think it really hit me tonight when I heard

170
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 5: cals Harry go on this postgame show and say the

171
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: exact thing fans have been saying for weeks about this team.

172
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: I mean, word for word, almost the exact the exact

173
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 5: thing that we've been saying for weeks. He just come

174
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 5: down and says it.

175
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: Just what are you talking about? What are you talking about?

176
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: The like he comes down and says, oh, we sweep

177
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: the zone on the inbounds play.

178
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 6: That comes in and.

179
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Says, all right, I didn't hear it. Did he say that?

180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean, they did play zone on the

181
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: inbounds play and it worked. Although I will say, go

182
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: back and watch those plays. If the dude was looking up,

183
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: there were two layups still to be had, but they

184
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't get him. Yeah. So so, but listen, that's good.

185
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Glad to hear, glad to see it. You know. My

186
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: view is it's always been like this. If somebody makes

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: a change and that changes for the better, clap for

188
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: the change, don't mock for the change, right, So if

189
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: he changes and does what we've always hoped, we have

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: to salute it and not just go, well, of course

191
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: you did it. Now that's a no win situation. So

192
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: I am happy that they did do that. We didn't

193
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: give up any layups tonight. You know. As far as

194
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: like what will happen in other games, we'll see, Because

195
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: I do think Vandy isn't the best.

196
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 5: That is true, and I just I don't know. It

197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: just struck me when he came out and said that.

198
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: I mean, he didn't even do the post game last game,

199
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: and of course he does it after a good win.

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 5: But you know, I don't know.

201
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 1: That's just I understand. Listen, everybody heard my I mean

202
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: you probably heard my post game Saturday. I was very,

203
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: very frustrated, still still frustrated about last week. With that said,

204
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, tonight was positive. I don't really have anything

205
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: to complain about tonight. So we'll just leave two. Like

206
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: for me, I just kind of leave Saturday in the

207
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: past and now let's see what happens next Saturday, right,

208
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it, Appreciate the call, and I you know, I do.

209
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: I did. I was excited. He goes, Billy, he said,

210
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: did you see what we did on defense in there?

211
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: And I was I was excited to hear what he

212
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: was going to say. And then he goes, if you

213
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: watch the game, well you saw what we did on defense,

214
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: and that's what we did. And I was like, well,

215
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: to tell me what you did.

216
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: Oh you basketball bennies, you'll figure it out.

217
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, they did. I do think a difference

218
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: today is the primary defender did a better job keeping

219
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: his man in front of him at the start of

220
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: the defensive plays. So I thought, in part because we

221
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: kind of were playing more wing guys. We were playing

222
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: Edwards Theeero and Burke's. We were kind of playing them

223
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: together a lot. We just were a little better defensively

224
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: than we've been and it didn't We didn't We didn't

225
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: suffer on offense because Dillian Ham and Reeves were shooting

226
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: so well and Edwards played well. Like that gives you

227
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: an example of how the team can be a lot

228
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: better if Edwards plays well, because you can be bigger

229
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: and play better defense if he's not killing you on offense,

230
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: and tonight he clearly did not.

231
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: Who's next, Morrison?

232
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Morrison? How are you Morrison?

233
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 7: I'm doing pretty well. This is my first time calling in.

234
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: Well, who are Morrison? That's a very proper name, Morrison.

235
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Where are you from? Morrison?

236
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 7: Well, I'm originally from Kentucky, but out like where in Kentucky?

237
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Frankfort, Frankfort, you know what? I think? That's where I

238
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: would think, like Morrison feels like someone who's like family

239
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: worked in government and they're like, we're going to have

240
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: an upstanding young son and we're going to name him Morrison,

241
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: So I like it. Go ahead.

242
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 7: Well, you hit it dead on with the family and

243
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 7: government stuff.

244
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's not a huge guest because it

245
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: was in Frankfu but Morrison feels like the son of

246
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: government workers name. But go ahead.

247
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 7: Well, I just wanted to be a little positive tonight

248
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 7: and say I was really happy, more than anything to

249
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 7: just see how Justin Edwards played and looked tonight. He's

250
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 7: obviously been through a lot, I'm sure, with social media

251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 7: and the way fans have reacted to the way he

252
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 7: started this season, and even though it's against Bandy, it's

253
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 7: great to see his confidence boost, especially after that dunk

254
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 7: and and watching how obvious it is that this team

255
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 7: is so supportive of each other, and watching how they

256
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 7: celebrated after his donk, it was really wonderful.

257
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: One of the great things and that nice to hear

258
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: from you, Morrison. One of the great things about this

259
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: team is they do seem to really get along. They

260
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: seem to really connect, and they pull for each other.

261
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: And it was nice to see the kid smile. Man,

262
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean like that. That kid has seemed at times

263
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: to have the weight of the world kind of on

264
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: his face, and it's nice to see dudes like that

265
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: have a good moment and smile. So I was really

266
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: I was really happy for him, you know, to get

267
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: a game like that, and I hope the confidence carries on,

268
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he has not played well and

269
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: it's clear it's been a disappointment, but he's not as

270
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: bad at times as he's looked. I mean, he's just not.

271
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: It's clearly a confidence issue in part, and hopefully this does.

272
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully this helps in moving his confidence in the right direction.

273
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Who's next, Pumba, Pumba? How are you Pumba?

274
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: Pumba? I am fantastic man, Thank you.

275
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: What's your name? It's not Pumba? Is it Puma like

276
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: the shoe?

277
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: No, like Kimona Poomba?

278
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Poba.

279
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're right, and I have one philosophy dare question.

280
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, but go ahead.

281
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 8: It's a kuna matata.

282
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: We just got to just take it easy.

283
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 9: You know.

284
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Look at what we got right now.

285
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 8: We got everything in front of us, and we got

286
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 8: all of the tools we need in our toolbox, and

287
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 8: col is just making it all work for us.

288
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: We just got to be patient with it. Let me

289
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: ask you a question, Let me ask you a questions. Yes, Matt,

290
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: do you really First of all, I agree with the

291
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: first part of what you said, it is on front

292
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: of us, and there are all the tools on this

293
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: team to do really well. You know, I don't know

294
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: about the defense, but maybe you can do it without it,

295
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: but the Cal's got it all under control. You don't

296
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: really believe that, like you don't believe losing to Florida

297
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and Tennessee were like a part of what we needed

298
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: to do.

299
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 8: As much as that hurts is as much as I

300
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 8: believe in this team, and you can't just let that go, right, I.

301
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: Mean I can. I can disagree with you, like I mean,

302
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't think they I don't think losing to Tennessee

303
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: and Florida at home is like part of the master point.

304
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: It hurts big.

305
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 8: Time, But as much as that hurts in the regular season,

306
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 8: coach would also say, it doesn't matter because we could

307
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 8: just use that in the same way that.

308
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 10: We used to use the regular season, in the.

309
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 8: Same way that if we win the SEC tournament, it

310
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 8: doesn't matter at all.

311
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, I hope we do. I appreciate the call.

312
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: We haven't won an SC tournament since twenty eighteen, so

313
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I hope we win one. And listen, I said this

314
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night if they make a run in March, you

315
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: are correct, none of this will matter.

316
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: They won't.

317
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it won't. We don't care that.

318
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen that team was not very good in

319
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: the regular season, and we don't care that at times.

320
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: In twenty eleven that team really struggled because they went

321
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: to the Final four. So if this team makes a run,

322
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: you're right, we won't care. The problem is if we don't,

323
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: we will care. And so that's why I mean, it

324
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: all comes down to March. In some ways, assuming that

325
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: they do well enough. It's weird because I was talking

326
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: about this with Ryan and Drew today. In some ways,

327
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: the rest of this regular season, I'm not gonna say

328
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, because we still got to finish this out,

329
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: get in the tournament, try to get the best Sea

330
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: we can. But in some ways, the rest of this

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: regular season really doesn't matter. It's highly unlikely when we

332
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: win the SEC. Not impossible, but highly unlikely, and we're

333
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be a number one or two seed probably

334
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: no matter what we do. So in some ways it

335
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't matter because I think this whole season

336
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: is gonna come down to March, and you can say, well,

337
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: every season does that. I don't really think that's true.

338
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: I think Kentucky takes pride in having good regular seasons

339
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: and winning the SEC, et cetera. And but this year,

340
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, Billy, do you agree with me? I

341
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: don't know if these eleven game as long as we

342
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: do well enough that we're in the tournament and we

343
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: have a decent seed, I'm not sure the rest of

344
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: these games do matter a whole lot, do you No?

345
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: I think you're right the way that you're laying it out.

346
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: You could say the rest of the season a kunamatata.

347
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: You know. Let's say we finished. I guess my point is,

348
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: let's say we I got you. Let's say we only

349
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: lose one game for the rest of the year, and

350
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: we finished twenty four and seven. We probably would be

351
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: a three seed, and the tournament starts. Let's say we

352
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: lose four games and we finished twenty one to ten.

353
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: Will probably be a sixth seed or a seven seed.

354
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: And honestly, the only difference is how hard our first

355
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: round game will be. If you're a three seeds, you're

356
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna play a sixth seed in the second round. And

357
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: if you're a six seeds. You're gonna play a three

358
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: seed in the second round, so you're basically gonna be

359
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: in the same part. So in some ways, as long

360
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 1: as we make the tournament, I'm not sure that the

361
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: rest of the regular season does mean a whole lot.

362
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: This whole thing is gonna come down to a couple

363
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: of weeks in March.

364
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: You could use the rest of the regular season to

365
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: ramp big Z up because he could be a difference

366
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: maker by from what we saw tonight, well.

367
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: No, no, keeping yourself playing well and who you play

368
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: and all that I do think matter, I guess. I

369
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: just mean, like you know, I don't know, for instance,

370
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: if we beat Gonzaga and then we beat Old Miss

371
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: how much of a difference is it gonna make if

372
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: we win at all? But I mean it it'd be exciting,

373
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna have a huge impact because at

374
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, every Cal's gonna be judged

375
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: this year on March. He just is for better if

376
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: it's good, or where if it's not. Who's next?

377
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 2: Thomas, Thomas, what's up?

378
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: Thomas?

379
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: Uh?

380
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 11: You guys are making my point. I almost didn't watch

381
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 11: the game tonight because I thought, what's the use if

382
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 11: we win by forty or thirty or twenty, where does

383
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 11: it help us. I'm gonna watch it because I loved

384
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 11: teim Burke's Do Something Good edwards. And here's the thing, Matt,

385
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 11: if we're in the tournament, do you want to play us?

386
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean no, I don't know. In twenty fourteen,

387
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: I used to have a caller. I'll let you finish

388
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: your point. But I had a caller in twenty fourteen

389
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: when the bracket came out. If you remember, we were

390
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: thinking eight seed and we were playing like Kansas State

391
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: in the first round, and I remember I got a

392
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: caller called and said, Matt, we're going the final four.

393
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, why do you say that?

394
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: And he goes, if you're Wichita State, you're the number

395
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: one overlall seed. Do you want to see us as

396
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: your see us as your eight And I was like, well,

397
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: probably not. And he was like, and if you're Louisville

398
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: and you're sitting there at the four seed, you don't

399
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: want to see your cross town rival as the And

400
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: he was right, and we we did all it, so

401
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Let's say we're a six if you're

402
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: a three. You don't want us to be your six.

403
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 11: Because we're unpredictable, we're so big, we're so good.

404
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. No, you're exactly right, and I appreciate

405
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: the call. I mean, you're you would not want to

406
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: see Kentucky in your brack. At the same time, unless

407
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: we play a fourteen or lower, I'm probably not gonna

408
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: be over confident, Billy, in any tournament game, are you.

409
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I was on the phone, Okay, am I

410
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: going to be confident in any tournament game?

411
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Where were you calling your broker or were you like

412
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: calling a pizza?

413
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: No? No, no, it's a call in show, so got anger.

414
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: I know sometime.

415
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: But no, I'm not going to be confident in any game.

416
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 3: And I think those first two tournament games are going

417
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: to be the most nerve wracking things for John Calipari.

418
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: Maybe in a Kentucky tenure.

419
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt. I think the second

420
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: round of the tournament, let's assume we win the first round,

421
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: the second round will be the most nerve racking game

422
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: for me and I'm sure for col Since the twenty

423
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: twelve Louisville foul four game, I remember in the twenty

424
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: twelve Louisville Final four game. I thought it was a

425
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: no win situation for Kentucky. If they lost, that was

426
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be awful against Louisville. And if they won, well,

427
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: you were supposed to. This will be the second round

428
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: game or first round. I mean for a sixth seed,

429
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: the first round game will be like this, will be

430
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: will be like that again. Who's next?

431
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: Logan and Frankfurt.

432
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: Logan, go ahead, Logan to Frankfurt Cards.

433
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hey, matt Ay Billy, I actually live in Nashville now.

434
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 4: I just moved about a month ago.

435
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 12: So game time with some buddies.

436
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: You've lived in Nashville, nobody does. Nobody thinks about doing

437
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: that anymore. It's not crowded at all.

438
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 12: Man, It long story. We don't got time for tonight,

439
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 12: but I'll tell you sometime.

440
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: All right.

441
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 12: We've talked about turning points a lot this past week,

442
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 12: and man, I've been in the same camp. But I

443
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 12: hope tonight was a turning point, not for the fans

444
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 12: but for the players. We can lose two bad games

445
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 12: in a row at home, but fans will still drive

446
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 12: a decent amount. Yeah to pack Vanderbilt stadium out and

447
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 12: man they were.

448
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: What was the Kentucky turnout like today? Did you go? Man?

449
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 4: I did go? Yes, I did go.

450
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: Okay, So what was it like?

451
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 12: We were in the UK section, all blue, all loud,

452
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 12: felt like a home game, and in the Vanderbilt sections

453
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 12: there was a lot of blue. I'd say it's probably

454
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 12: eighty twenty Kentucky fans.

455
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Well, that's pretty good. And was the place full? No? No, ok, yeah, no,

456
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: well eighty twenty is is pretty good.

457
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 12: So I might be wrong. I might be wrong. Other

458
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 12: callers feel free to weigh in. But and the last

459
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 12: thing I had and I'll let I'll get off here.

460
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 12: Bradshaw has had a few tough weeks, but there was

461
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 12: no one more supportive on the bench than he was tonight.

462
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: I watched them all game.

463
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 12: He was the first one to tear he was the

464
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 12: first one to get out up out of his seat.

465
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 12: I believe in that kid. I'm glad he's here. I'm

466
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 12: glad coach Cal's here.

467
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: Night.

468
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, this is a great look. This is

469
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: the most and I appreciate the call. This is as

470
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: likable a team from a player standpoint. I like, there's

471
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: nobody on the team that I think seems to have

472
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: a bad attitude. I think they all have great attitudes.

473
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: They all seem positive even when things aren't going well

474
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: for them. They seem very cheerful with each other. So

475
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm very positive. It did sound like

476
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: cal Will seemed to suggest that maybe Trey Mitchell. Did

477
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: you get when you listened to him, did you get

478
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: the senseability that it might be more than just a

479
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: game with him?

480
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, kind of noncommittal answer on everything.

481
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Well, and he just said like he may need some time,

482
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: so I could see us not having him against Gonzaga.

483
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, the question for me is is Wagner? I mean,

484
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: I you know, he's missed three These next two home

485
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: games are must wins. You know, they knew, they probably

486
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: knew they'd be all right with Adhim to night. I'll

487
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: be interested to see if he ends up going Saturday

488
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: against Gonzaga. Who's next? Crew?

489
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 9: Crew?

490
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: What's up?

491
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 13: Crew?

492
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: Hey?

493
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 14: My name's Crew?

494
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 7: First time?

495
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 9: Waltime?

496
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

497
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 9: Crewe?

498
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: How old are you? Crew? Nine years old? Did you

499
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: go to the game?

500
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, my parents took me for my ninth birthday.

501
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 10: We had awesome seats right behind the bench.

502
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: Bench got a couple autographs and.

503
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 15: It was a great game.

504
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: Whose autograph did you get?

505
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 15: I got DJ Wagner, Bradshaw and bigg.

506
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: Are you will you give them to me?

507
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 15: No?

508
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: But see I don't have their autograph. I feel like

509
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: you should give them to me. That way I can

510
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: have their autograph. Oh good, So you're just gonna keep

511
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: it for yourself? Yep, all right, I'll let you have it.

512
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you had fun. Who's your favorite player?

513
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: Let me guess? Is it Dillingham?

514
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 9: Nope?

515
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: Who is it? Read Shepherd? Okay, well maybe that would

516
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: have been a better guess. Well listen, you and your

517
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: parents have a safe drive home, and I'm glad you

518
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Thank you appreciate it. See, how can you

519
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: not like kids? Billy? You know you're such a grouch,

520
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: And like, how sweet is that kid? Crew goes to

521
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: the game for his ninth birthday. He gets all those

522
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: autographs and they won't share them with me, but he

523
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: gets them. And like you always talk about how terrible

524
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 1: killed kids are. How could you hate that?

525
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: I can tell when a kid has a good point,

526
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: but it's when the parents call in and then hand

527
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: it to their kid and then they're in the background.

528
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: Cats. That was Is that your impression.

529
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: Of parents talking to their children?

530
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like that's that was the first time I've

531
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: heard you do like a Kentucky Southern accent.

532
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: Maybe the last time there you.

533
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: Thought it was at I didn't appreciate it.

534
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: Who's next, Let's go to Cecil.

535
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: Cecil? How are you, Cecil?

536
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm doing good, man, I hope you're doing good.

537
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: Uh.

538
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: Two positives for tonight.

539
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 13: First is Birks's good to see him, uh, because it

540
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 13: seem like he has butter fingers out there, even though

541
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 13: he's a good player.

542
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: But he came through and Uh, I thought he.

543
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 13: Had a great game that hopefully kickstart, yeah, kickstart a

544
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 13: great season. And Edwards, Man, we need him. He's the

545
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 13: only three we have on the team. We have a

546
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 13: lot of guards, we have a lot of bigs, we

547
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 13: have no three him. We're going to need him, just

548
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 13: like in the twenty fifteen Uh when we lost Poethrus.

549
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 4: We need that guy.

550
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 13: And with that size and lean, he's not a four,

551
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 13: that's uh, he's six six.

552
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: And on the south side.

553
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 13: I think it's ridiculous to think or play him at

554
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 13: the four. But man, it's good to see him. Hopefully

555
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 13: this is the confident.

556
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: You just like to argue with me, Cecil. You just

557
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: like to argue with me. You say it's ridiculous to

558
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: play him at the four. Cal specifically talked about how

559
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: good he was at the four and then he was

560
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna do more of it. You just like to argue

561
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: with me. Are you every shows you are arguing with me?

562
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: You're lying on me again.

563
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 13: First it was the next day you and Drew implying

564
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 13: that I was lying about a study that you knew about.

565
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: You still haven't sent me that lake. I'm still waiting

566
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: on your lake, but go ahead.

567
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 4: You said you knew about.

568
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: It, Yeah, because it was ten years old.

569
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: To you, and you cut me off. And this was

570
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: a positive call.

571
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 13: I don't want to argue with you.

572
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: All right. I love you, see, so thank you very much.

573
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. One person rights se see if you

574
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: agree with this. Okay, Billy, this is from somebody they've

575
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: never texted me before. Why do you sound so miserable?

576
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: You should cut this post game short. You're coming off

577
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: emotionless and bitter, almost disappointed that they're win. You need

578
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: to give Cal credit for taming player emotions. Managing young

579
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: players is a skill. Give cal credit. Do I sound

580
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: emotionless bitter and disappointed? We won?

581
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: No? No, But it is a different tone of voice

582
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: on the postgame shows. But that's every post game. But

583
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: it's kind of endeen at night.

584
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like I'm not gonna be going are right,

585
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: this is good, you know. I mean it's twelve fifteen

586
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: at night and we won, And like, if you've listened

587
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: this year, we've had this tone of voice Billy quite

588
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: a bit during the year, especially in the early season

589
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: when we won by a lot, right, Yeah, I'm very happy,

590
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not a still gonna not gonna act like that,

591
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: like we're winning the title now when we beat a

592
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: six and fifteen team, I mean, it's it's exactly what

593
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: we needed to happen to Not that's exactly what we

594
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: needed to happen, but this team has the same record

595
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: Louisville does, right, So like, let's not go crazy, let's

596
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: be happy. But at the same time, you know, this

597
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: is this is a step and there was a lot

598
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: of positives about it, and that's kind of the way

599
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: that I look at it. Let's take a break. If

600
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm nine two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. The local

601
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: Towinada Dealer's KSR postgame show will be right back back

602
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: Dealers KSR Postgame Show. If I'm nine two eight oh,

603
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: twenty two eighty seven, what person rites? Amanda writes, Since

604
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: I was at the game, it was a ton of

605
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: fun to uh as a game to go to, It's

606
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: always that's always a fun environment because you probably get

607
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: more Kentucky fans at that game than any road game,

608
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: except maybe at Louisville this year when they when no

609
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: one was they had no one there. But it's it's

610
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: always a great environment, and it's a lot of fans,

611
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think Cal said this on the postgame

612
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: show too. It's a lot of fans that, like, you know,

613
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: they don't get see Kentucky play a lot, so they're

614
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: excited to be there. It's a similar kind of mindset

615
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: that comes at the SEC Tournament, except in some ways

616
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: this one may even be more sort of regular fans

617
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: because it's cheaper, right, Like you don't have to you know,

618
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the SEC Tournament has now become a very very expensive

619
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: trip and this is now a lot a lot better,

620
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: so I I it is a very fun game. I've

621
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: been a number of times over the years and it's

622
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. Plus it's so it's an

623
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: odd arena. Have you ever been in their billy to

624
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: watch a game.

625
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: I haven't, But I thought they changed the rules with

626
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: the coaches and the baseline and.

627
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: They did well. Now they can walk to mid court,

628
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: but the benches are still on the end. But the

629
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: coaches can now walk all the way to mid court,

630
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: which they used to not be able to do. It's

631
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: like you're watching like an opera. It's such an odd gym,

632
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: but it is. It's a cool but it is a

633
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: cool place to watch a game. Who's next, Hunter? What's up? Hunter?

634
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 14: Hey guys, I hate to have to be this guy.

635
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: Oh, here you go, Yeah, here you go.

636
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 14: Uh, great win and I'm super happy to do that

637
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 14: to watch that. But we beat the breaks off of Vandy,

638
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 14: And aren't we supposed to beat the breaks off of Vandy?

639
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 14: How about we all just yeah?

640
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: But you got to join it, I will say. And listen,

641
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: you heard how harsh I was in critique Saturday. You also, though,

642
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: you do have to enjoy a victory.

643
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 14: I mean, at the end of the day. Yes, if

644
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 14: you're gonna if you're gonna you.

645
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: Can't make it to where you can't make it for

646
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: whether it's cow or the team or the players, you

647
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: can't put it where it's a no win situation, like

648
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: you cannot put it where no matter what they do,

649
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be pleased. They won by thirty two.

650
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: Now are we supposed to win that game? Yes, we

651
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: were only favored by eight and a half. Winning by

652
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: thirty two at Vandy is an impressive performance.

653
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 14: I very much agree with that. But there's a lot

654
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 14: of work to be done. And I liked everything I

655
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 14: saw today. I just want to see more of it

656
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 14: and against better competition.

657
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I appreciate the call. You'll get a

658
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: chance to see that Saturday and uh next Tuesday against

659
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Ole Miss. Those are those are both like bubble teams, right,

660
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: So that's that's basically what we're gonna see. All right.

661
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: So we lost at home Saturday to a top ten team,

662
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of got beat down. Before that, we lost to

663
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: a tournament team at home. Now you're going to play

664
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: essentially two bubble teams. So Gonzaga is on the bubble.

665
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: Old Miss is probably on the bubble slightly out, but

666
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: has a shot. That's what you're looking at. So basically,

667
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: let's go back to my tournament theory. If we go

668
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: in as a sixth seed, which probably is what happens,

669
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: if we lose at Auburn and at Tennessee, if we

670
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: go in as a five or six seed, these two

671
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: teams were about to play at RUP. That's who you're

672
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: playing in the first round of the tournament. That's the

673
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: way to look at it. These two next games are

674
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA tournament unless we get really

675
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: hot here at the end of the year. So that's

676
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: a good way to judge it, Billy, Right, Like, this

677
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: is your first round NCAA tournament game coming up, and

678
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: it's at your court, so let's see how we do,

679
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: right right? I agree?

680
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: And you say it's only Vandy.

681
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: I mean they had won the last two games of

682
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: the series, including the SEC tournament, so I mean, you.

683
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: See they were a lot better. I mean, as bad

684
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: as they were last year, they were better than they

685
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: are this year. How bad must Missouri be? By the way,

686
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Banby crushed Missouri last game. So who's next? Mike, Mike,

687
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: what's up? Mike?

688
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 4: Hey?

689
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 16: This is how are you go ahead. Yes, I'm good,

690
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 16: Damn me, I'm sorry. I just wanted to went out something.

691
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 16: And I don't know if this was a point out

692
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 16: earlier in the show because I got the first part

693
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 16: of it. But man, our dudes looked like they were

694
00:35:54,480 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 16: having fun tonight. Man Like it was like playground basketball. Yeah,

695
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 16: they were having a good time. I saw a smiling, laughing.

696
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 16: It seemed relaxed. And my question team is do you

697
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 16: think he relaxed playing a less I don't want to

698
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 16: say lesser team, but Vanderbilt deemed it was lesser than us,

699
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 16: or maybe cal changed a little bit of his philosophy.

700
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: No, I don't think he changed his philosophy in three days.

701
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the call. Uh what do we think

702
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: was happening with that call? Billy? Before? I before?

703
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: I think he was having fun tonight.

704
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: It was like the phone would be in. It felt

705
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: like the phone was in at times he was speaking

706
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: into it, at times it was on speaker, felt like

707
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 1: it went back and forth. Yeah, and uh, it sometimes

708
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: felt like it was in different places vis a vis

709
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: his mouth, depending on where he was. As far as

710
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: have fun, though, they did have fun, and I think

711
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: it was in part because you're winning. And like Vandy

712
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: plays a stop. I thought Vandy would try to slow

713
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: it down. They did not. They they tried to run

714
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: with us. And I don't know, man, you better be

715
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: really good to try to run with this team. I mean,

716
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: to be fair, Tennessee did and kind of beat us,

717
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: but most teams that do that, that's gonna be hard.

718
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: And and I think this team, Look, this Kentucky team

719
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: needs to get up and down the court. Now that's

720
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: sometimes easier said than done. But when they get up

721
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: and down the court, they're tough and they're fun. And

722
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: then when they're hitting shots, I mean, Dylan, they hit

723
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: what they hit seven of their first eight threes or whatever,

724
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: Kentucky did well. When they do that, I mean, you

725
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: can't guard them. You can't guard this team when they're

726
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: hitting threes. So, you know, I think that's why it

727
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: looked like they were having a lot of fun because

728
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: they because they were fun. They were really fun to watch.

729
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: Who's next, Sam?

730
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Sam? What's up? Sam?

731
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 17: Hey, Matt, thanks for taking my call. First, just want

732
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 17: to show some appreciation to you and Billy. You guys

733
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 17: do a fantastic job and deserve nothing but the best.

734
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 4: Tonight.

735
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 17: I've seen a post on your Twitter and someone replied

736
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 17: to him and goes, it's six and fifteen Vanderbilt, are

737
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 17: you really happy? And to answer that, I'm very happy

738
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 17: tonight it looked like the offense had clicked better than

739
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 17: it had in quite a while. With without DJ, without Trent,

740
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 17: it just felt like more of a team effort. And

741
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 17: my second thing is, was it ever confirmed on what

742
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 17: Jerry was so upset about there at the end of

743
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 17: the day.

744
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, you know, he's a he's an interesting dude,

745
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: right Like, it feels like he feels like I mean,

746
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: he obviously it's obvious he and Cale can't hate each other.

747
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: His son is on the staff, right so, but he

748
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: does feel like he's always got like a temper issue

749
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: when they play US, you know. So, I don't know

750
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: it was weird. I mean, they did he did shake

751
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: Cow's hand, but then it didn't look like he shook

752
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: anyone else's hand on the Kentucky bench. So so I

753
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not sure, but I appreciate the call.

754
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: And yes, if you didn't enjoy that game, my argument

755
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: would be, if that game didn't make you happy, then

756
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: why did you watch it? To begin with, because like

757
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: Kentucky's not going to do much better than they just did.

758
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: And if you walk down there and go, well, I'm

759
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: not happy, then why did you watch it? Like what

760
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: was the point? Did you just want to be angry?

761
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Because that should have been plenty happy for you, at

762
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: least it was for me. Let's do one more and

763
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: we'll take our final break.

764
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: Who's next, Dakota, Dakota, how are you?

765
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: Dakota?

766
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 18: Pretty good for you know, twelve fifteen in the morning.

767
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 18: But uh yeah, I think big Z. I love watching him.

768
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 18: He's an agent of chaos. Though, like he comes in,

769
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 18: they show Bud in like I think four minutes he

770
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 18: had seven points, but he had three fouls. So he's

771
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 18: coming in there and making an impact either way.

772
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: And then no, he's gonna be like if watching him

773
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: in the first half when he came in, I just

774
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: kept my eyes on him the whole time. He's it's

775
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: all over the place, likes he's not in the right

776
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: place defensively, but then on offense, he got six offensive

777
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: rebounds in twelve minutes. Six offensive rebounds in twelve minutes.

778
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: That's crazy. So you're right, I think that's a good phrase.

779
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: He's an agent of chaos.

780
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 15: Yeah.

781
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 18: And also I noticed something else, just like watching highlights

782
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 18: of the other games tonight, I saw Houston and Kelvin

783
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 18: Sampson and I was like, he reminds me of somebody.

784
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 18: And then my mom shouted.

785
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: Out he looks like O. J.

786
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 18: Simpson, And now I cannot see it.

787
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I've never noticed that before. Well, there you go.

788
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Call you know. You know, so it

789
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: was an easy win when your mom is comparing UH

790
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: basketball coaches to former football players slash murder. So that's

791
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: where it goes A twenty two eighty seven. Let's take

792
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: a break, Billy, and we will come back for our

793
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: final segment. The Cats with a massive win in Nashville.

794
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Munter

795
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: back final segment, Local Toy Dealers KSR post game Show.

796
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: It is eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.

797
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: Uh text machine still people texting in late at night.

798
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: This is the best fan base that there is. I mean,

799
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: if you can see how many people are going to

800
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: are still texting, it's it's unbelievable. One person writes, unc

801
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: lost a Clipson at home. Do you still think UNC

802
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: is really good? I do? You know, traditionally speaking, if

803
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: you home to a non top twenty five team, it

804
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: is very rare for you to win the title. Not impossible,

805
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: but very rare. So I'm gonna keep that in mind.

806
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: I'll probably still have North Carolina in my five teams,

807
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: the only two I'm I mean, you definitely have to

808
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: have Yukon and I think I'm definitely gonna have Houston. Objectively,

809
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: I should probably have Purdue, but it's hard to pick

810
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: Purdue because it's just Purdue. But those three are probably

811
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna be there. And then the question is North Carolina Kansas?

812
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: You know, beyond that, it's hard for me to see

813
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: any of these teams in the country winning the title.

814
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: But we'll see. You know, Auburn in the metrics looks

815
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: like I mean, they have the metrics to win a title,

816
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: but when I watch that team, I don't think that

817
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: looks like a title team. But we'll see. They host Alabama,

818
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: So let's see how that game goes, uh, and maybe

819
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 1: we'll have a better idea. Who's up next?

820
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: Bill Thomas?

821
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: Thomas? What's up? Thomas?

822
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 11: You get us the worst if you're then in the

823
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 11: last tournament sixty four teams, you get us the worst

824
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 11: because you do not know what we're gonna do to you, right.

825
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have any idea, like you you you

826
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: you don't you know, you don't know what team you're

827
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna get, right, I mean, you know how we're gonna play,

828
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: but you don't know, like, are we gonna play well

829
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: or not? We might if we might beat you by

830
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: ten or we might lose by ten. You just have

831
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: no idea.

832
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 11: Loved it tonight, but it's frustrating against good teams.

833
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but you can't again like tonight. I don't

834
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: think tonight's the night to complain about how we've done

835
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: against good teams, right, I mean, we play who you

836
00:43:55,040 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: play and we won? All right? I appreciate the call.

837
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: He was still there, He's just stunned in silence.

838
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: All right, who's next?

839
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 2: How about chi Wu chi Wu?

840
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: How are you sir? Doing well?

841
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 19: Thanks Matt? Thanks for taking my call. Three wins, three

842
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 19: in the hook in the NCAA tournament. If that's the question,

843
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 19: I don't think. I don't know if they could win for.

844
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't think. I mean, you got to remember

845
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: how much chi Wu of the tournament is about your

846
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: draw too, right, So you know it's there's a lot

847
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: of it. That's when you when you're a great team, okay,

848
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: when you're twenty fifteen Kentucky until you get to the

849
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: final four, it's not about your draw. You're better than everybody, right,

850
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: When you're just good or very good, then the draw matters.

851
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it matters who you get. It matters if

852
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: teams get upset, right, Like if somebody gets upset and

853
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: you end up playing an eleven seed, it's different. So

854
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: so no, I do I think it's impossible for us

855
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: to win four straight. No way, of course I think

856
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: we could win four straight. But we're gonna be kind out.

857
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: But we're gonna be at the mercy and I'm sorry,

858
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: I'll let you fish. We're gonna be at the mercy

859
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: of the draw, you know what I mean? That's that

860
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be true.

861
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 19: What would you set what would you set the number

862
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 19: at if you were over and under three?

863
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 4: Three in the hook or four?

864
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate the call. That's tough. I mean, yeah,

865
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to answer that because there's no answer

866
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: that it is not just gonna lead to people screaming

867
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: at me. So I think I'll just I think this

868
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: team today, if the tournament started tomorrow, could make the

869
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: final four, or could lose in the first round. I'll

870
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: probably treat this for the rest of the year like this.

871
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it like, what if the tournament

872
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: started today. Tournament started today, we're probably a six seed.

873
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: We're playing an eleven, so we're playing a team like

874
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: Gonzaga or Florida. I think we could lose that game.

875
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: But I also could see us playing a one seed

876
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: Perdue and beating them by ten in the Elite eight.

877
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: So who knows. It's gonna be exciting because we have

878
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea what to expect in the tournament.

879
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: I really don't now. Maybe over the next five weeks

880
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: we'll have a better indication, but if the tournament starting tomorrow,

881
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: I would have no idea what to expect. Who's next? Jordan,

882
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: what's up? Jordan? Jordan down? Go ahead?

883
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 6: Hey man, Billy, thank you Billy sticking my phone call.

884
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: You're welcome.

885
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say thank you for Jordan Brooks.

886
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 6: Jordan Brooks stepped up tonight.

887
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went great, he played great, was good. To

888
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: see him happy too, right, Like he's a guy who

889
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: has had to kind of be a cheerleader the whole year,

890
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: and he got out and played and you could see

891
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: he enjoyed himself.

892
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 6: Then justin Edwards, they both stepped up to a lot

893
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 6: in the role.

894
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I both were great and Reed Reed is

895
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 9: a potential defender and he he bites it a lot

896
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 9: of stuff instead of hopping over the screens and stuff

897
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 9: like that.

898
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 6: And I wish you would just stay, you would just

899
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 6: hop over the screens instead of look over steels. And

900
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 6: I feel like that's where he sails a lot, when

901
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 6: he looks for steels instead of just stepping over like

902
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 6: Reus does and Rob sometimes does.

903
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Reed Shepherd is one of the more, and I

904
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. He's one of the more. It's a

905
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: feast or famine defense with him. He either gets blown

906
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: by or he gets a steal and a crazy fast

907
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: break blah, like he's Reed Shepherd's defense is a lot

908
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: like this team, you really don't ever know what you're

909
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna get. You might get something amazing, you might get

910
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: something bad, but like it's always exciting, you don't know

911
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be on any given play, Billy, I

912
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: just had this dude, the one who's whose text I

913
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: read earlier. Yeah, he has texted the text machine the

914
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: same text fourteen straight times.

915
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 2: Oh, you got him riled up. What is he saying?

916
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: Well, it's mostly about how awful I am. Okay, and

917
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 1: I'm going to block you now eight five nine, seven

918
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: five three. And just for the record, I did see

919
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: all fourteen texts, and they were all because it was

920
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: the same phrase, equally incoherent, and so I blocked you

921
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 1: so we don't have to see you anymore. Fourteen times though,

922
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: to reak to copy and send again, That's.

923
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 2: That's something you got his point across. Let's uh, let's

924
00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: go to Larry.

925
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: Larry, what's up, lay.

926
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 11: Hey man?

927
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: How's it going? Doing good? Good?

928
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 10: A first time caller who I was just gonna make

929
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 10: two comments real quick.

930
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: Uh.

931
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 10: I was at the game tonight and I'm a Kentucky

932
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 10: fan for life for sure, but I'm excited tonight. It

933
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 10: was fun to watch. I mean, I think we have

934
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 10: to take what we get and who you play and

935
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 10: have fun. But my real question was about the defense,

936
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 10: you know, the defensive defense efficiency talking about nasal title contenders.

937
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 10: You know where we're at now, We're definitely not there.

938
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get better. We're not gonna get better

939
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: at that. I hope everybody knows. It's like, we're not

940
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: getting better. We might get better, but we're not winning

941
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: on defense.

942
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 11: Do you switch to his own?

943
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 10: Is that possible?

944
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 4: Or he's not gonna do that.

945
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not gonna do that. You know, he's

946
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Like if you hisze, you wouldn't

947
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: wait till right now to do it. Like we've been

948
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: bad at defense all year, so we're not switching to

949
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: his own. Actually, I'm not even sure if that would

950
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: be good at this point. How much could they possibly

951
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: have practiced it? You know, Yeah, who knows. Maybe there's

952
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: a game where they break it out in a specific situation.

953
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's always possible. This team is. Here's

954
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: what this team is. In my opinion. You gotta go out,

955
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: you gotta play good enough defense that you can score

956
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: ninety and win, and you gotta score ninety that's what

957
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: But I think this team can do that. There's no reason,

958
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: there's no reason Tennessee should score one hundred and howe

959
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: many points they scored, right, if you can score, Yeah,

960
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: you can't do that, right, but you need to get

961
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: to work. You hold them under ninety and you score ninety.

962
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: That's the way this team wins. And that's a tough

963
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: way to win, but I think it's their best chance.

964
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 10: I agree, I agree. I just I just didn't know

965
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 10: if there was any chance, any change we could do

966
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 10: to to make it work, because I mean, I love

967
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 10: watching this team. They're awesome. God obviously Shepherd, you know,

968
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 10: coming from Jeff Shepherd back in the day, I just

969
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 10: I want him to win so bad.

970
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: But well I do too, and I appreciate and I

971
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: think I think you you know again, I think I

972
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: don't know how you can get much better defensively when

973
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: you cannot keep your man in front of you. And

974
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much that's going to improve in

975
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: five weeks, but I hope it does. But remember Billy,

976
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: six weeks ago, I said we're not gonna get him

977
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: better on defense. People yelled at me, and I was like,

978
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like we will, and we haven't, right,

979
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't gotten any.

980
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: Better on defense, Yeah, not much better.

981
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned. I think the bigger issue is our offense

982
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been as good in the last couple of weeks.

983
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of dipped a little bit.

984
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 3: But I was going to say Red Shepherd only scored

985
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 3: six points, but he was plus thirty five tonight.

986
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they didn't need it. He didn't how much

987
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: did he even shoot? He didn't shoot that much.

988
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: He didn't need he was two or six.

989
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, he didn't even need to steels.

990
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: See he does that a lot. He's feast or famine

991
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: on defense, but he gets some great steals. Let's do

992
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: three more.

993
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 20: Who's next, Mason, Mason, go ahead, Mason, Hey, good evening

994
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 20: from Honolulu.

995
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 21: Well, it's like, I don't know, almost eight, but I

996
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 21: just wanted to say I get as mad enough to

997
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 21: punch a baby whenever we lose. I don't care who

998
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 21: we lose to. But I mean, and the season is

999
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 21: not really gone the way we would hope. But the

1000
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 21: reality is is like at this point, everything's kind of

1001
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 21: it's kind of a one game season the rest of

1002
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 21: the way, Like you just kind of gotta go, who's next,

1003
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 21: Let's beat them, Who's next, Let's beat them, like leave

1004
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 21: the rest when it gets here, And like I just

1005
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 21: don't really see why people are getting so upset. I mean,

1006
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,959
Speaker 21: I guess I get it, but like, at the same time,

1007
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 21: it's like we like, these kids had fun tonight and

1008
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 21: and I love seeing that, and that made me enjoy

1009
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 21: the game.

1010
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean I don't look, I don't totally

1011
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: disagree with you. I mean, you know, the and I

1012
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Beat. No, I got one more thing,

1013
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, sorry, go ahead.

1014
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 4: No.

1015
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 21: I was just gonna say, does uh was it just

1016
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 21: me or does Billy's Eastern Kentucky parent kind of remind

1017
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 21: you of like wi.

1018
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: Will Ferrells Harry Carey a little bit? Oh, it was

1019
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: not a good accent, like he didn't do a good

1020
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: job on it or anything. I just I appreciated that

1021
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: he tried. He's trying to you know, he's not from Kentucky,

1022
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,439
Speaker 1: so he's trying to relate as best as he can.

1023
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: And I appreciated the Uh, you know, I appreciated the effort.

1024
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: All right, thanks, Matt, appreciate it. Appreciate the call. What

1025
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: is our record? Are we seventeen and.

1026
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 3: A lot of appreciating going on there. Let's see Kentucky's record,

1027
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 3: is it fifteen and six?

1028
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 2: Now, is that what it is?

1029
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: No, it's it's better than that, isn't it? Is it

1030
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: seventeen and six or sixteen and six?

1031
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: I think it's sixteen and six now after the win.

1032
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: Sixteen and six? All right, so we're sixteen and six.

1033
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: If you win the next two, you'd get to eighteen

1034
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: and six going into what I think is a difficult stretch.

1035
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: If you win the next two, you're guaranteed by the way,

1036
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: twenty wins because you're gonna beat Arkansas and Bandy at home.

1037
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: So that's the thing you gotta remember. Our last two

1038
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: home games are Arkansas and Vandy before the final game

1039
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: of the year, which is at Tennessee. Two more, Who's next?

1040
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 2: Josh?

1041
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: Josh? What's up? Josh?

1042
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 4: How y'all doing tonight?

1043
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: Doing good?

1044
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 4: Go Catz?

1045
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: Number one.

1046
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 22: I've been a UK basketball fan my whole life, and

1047
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 22: I've seen a lot of teams play and uh, regardless

1048
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 22: of their defense situation, it's terrible.

1049
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 23: But this team, it's really fun to watch, you know,

1050
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 23: win or lose. They're still you know, there for one another.

1051
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 23: They're still kind of smiling, having a good time.

1052
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: And uh, I.

1053
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 23: Want to say this, man, A lot of people forget this,

1054
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 23: and uh, you know, I've been one of those ones.

1055
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 23: It's you know, if we don't win the national championship

1056
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 23: every year, you know, I'm I'm pissed. But I've really

1057
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 23: come to realize with Cal. Uh, he puts kids in

1058
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 23: the NBA. He makes kids, you know, they behave when

1059
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 23: they're on the team and they're in the community, and

1060
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 23: he really he recruits good.

1061
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: Kids to this program.

1062
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 23: A lot of people want to forget that, and I

1063
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 23: just kind of wanted to bring that up. And Austin

1064
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 23: and College shott. Uh, We're taking down Tennessee and Knoxville

1065
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 23: this year, y'all.

1066
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: Have a good night. I can see him doing that.

1067
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: And I do agree with you. I think if you

1068
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: had asked Kentucky fans, if you had asked Kentucky fans

1069
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: when when Cal was hired, do you think fourteen years

1070
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: later you will have had the quality of kid here,

1071
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 1: they might have said that, no, and they have. And

1072
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: that's a test. I mean, I do think Cal has

1073
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: always recruited good kids. I mean, he's had a couple of,

1074
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, minor issues, but for the most part, I've

1075
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: liked almost every player that played here. And so yeah,

1076
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: that is something he definitely does deserve credit for him.

1077
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 2: Who's next, Donnie to finish it up?

1078
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 1: Donnie will finish strong? What do you got?

1079
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 15: Hey? Right on? This defense is gonna get better?

1080
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: But no, I mean, why do you say that though?

1081
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: Like what do you base that on? Like what do

1082
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: you base the confidence that the defense is gonna get

1083
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: better on.

1084
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 15: Here's what I think is wrong with this team. I

1085
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 15: think it is so so elementary. It is talking, it

1086
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 15: is communicating. This team does not do that. If they talk,

1087
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 15: if they communicate, pick pick pick drop drop drop, get

1088
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 15: my man, get my man, shut slide, help, help, help.

1089
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 15: But that's why I think it's just a matter of communication,

1090
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 15: because the talent is there, Matt, you know that. But

1091
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 15: here's what we can't do. We can't and I think

1092
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 15: we've given up thirty five threes in three games. We

1093
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 15: can't give up drives to the basket uncontested and then

1094
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 15: give up eleven threes twelve strees.

1095
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: No, we can't. But I you know, I hope you're right.

1096
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: I hope you're right, and I appreciate the call. I'm

1097
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: less confident just because I don't think it's all communication.

1098
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it's just keeping their man

1099
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: in front of them. But the thing is, you know,

1100
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: I used to say early in the year, look, we'll

1101
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: have to win by offense, and we can do it.

1102
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: I still believe that's true. I think, with the exception

1103
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee game, which was kind of an all

1104
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: systems failure in some ways, in the other games, if

1105
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 1: we had had our normal offensive output, we were one.

1106
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: This team's gonna have to win on offense. When they

1107
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: play like tonight. I know they beat Vandy, and I

1108
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: know it's easy to go, well, they stink and blah

1109
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. But when they play offense like

1110
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: they did tonight, they'll beat anybody. And they didn't even

1111
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: have DJ Wagner and Read Shepherd scored six points and

1112
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: Trey Mitch. I mean, they'll beat anybody playing offense like this.

1113
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: So to me, the path to success is continue to

1114
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: push the ball and score as many as you can

1115
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: and then hope you make individual plays on defense like

1116
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: they did tonight. They made some really good plays tonight.

1117
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, folks very much for staying up. Tomorrow. We

1118
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,919
Speaker 1: will be at ks Barr again, full house, full house

1119
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: from now on with Drew full time. We don't have

1120
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: to say whether it's a full We'll always have a

1121
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: full house unless somebody's off. Thanks to Billy for staying up.

1122
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: We got more late games coming, Billy. Next two. Next

1123
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: two weekend weekday games are both at nine o'clock.

1124
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard you're taking one off day.

1125
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Ryan. Ryan felt. It feels like the

1126
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,479
Speaker 1: Old Miss game is a Ryan game, don't you think? Well, yeah,

1127
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,479
Speaker 1: I have two more. I have two more off during

1128
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: the year. One of them might have to be gone,

1129
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: so I have to take that. So I'm gonna let

1130
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: Ryan take Old Miss. It feels like his game. Really,

1131
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: it's core. Don't you think I'm with it?

1132
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.

1133
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be here for the LSU one, which that

1134
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: one maybe the latest of all because that was on ESPN,

1135
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: so that one might not start until the middle of

1136
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: the night. Thank you, folks very much. We will see
