Speaker 4: Look There's one main story, obviously, and that is the

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: loss to Arkansas. Saturday was one of those days that

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 4: it's hard to even like go into in terms of

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 4: I was just talking to my bar manager, the biggest

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 4: basketball day we've ever had, the second biggest day in

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 4: the history of the bar U, and if we had won,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: probably would have been the biggest. The amount of people

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 4: in here was crazy. Rupperina was full forty five minutes

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: before the game. I've never seen it full that early

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: in my entire time of going. The buzz before the

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: intro was something that I it's hard to even articulate

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: what the feeling was. It was excitement slash nervousness, slash anger,

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: slash happiness slash oh there's Tubby. I mean, like just

34
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: a million things. And then of course the loss, which

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: is I think a really really tough one. I don't know, guys,

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: I did the postgame show, so let's just let them.

37
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: I'll go to each of you.

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: What's the thing about Saturday Saturday that stands out the

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: most to you?

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: You're right, Saturday is what Kentucky basketball is all about.

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: Saturday kind of tiptifies our craziness we have for our program.

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: And it was nuts all day long. But man, I

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: really I don't believe what I saw Saturday night. I

44
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: know we'll get into it, but it just played out

45
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: like a Dagon movie, you know, the villain. Yeah we lost,

46
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 5: I know it, but you know, and the Arkansas team

47
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: that struggled offensively all year to score sixty points lights

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: it up for eighty seven. And the three dudes doing

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 5: the lighting and then lightening it up, well had our

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 5: uniform on last year. I mean, it was just after

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 5: the game. I did something I've never done before. I

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 5: went for a drive. Wow, it shook me so much.

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 5: You went for a drive. I went for a drive.

54
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 5: And I heard Mark you had to like get the

55
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: you had to get the thoughts out of here.

56
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: I guess so.

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 5: And I heard Mark Pope on this postgame show and

58
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 5: he sounded like somebody had shot his dog. And I

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: turned it off. I just I could not listen to

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 5: it anymore. His soul shook.

61
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: Wow, what about what about you? That's that's quite an

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: emotional reaction. What about you? I didn't go for a drive.

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: I didn't get to sleep either, but I will say

64
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: I woke up Sunday had a big old bowl of crow.

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: After all my talking leading up to that game, I

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: knew going into it, I knew DJ was gonna have

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: opportunities and I thought, if DJ has a game, we

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: could be in trouble. But you know, I even said

69
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: on the show, I thought A Z would play pretty well.

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: We knew A do a dude we didn't have a

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: matchup for. But the back of my brain was like

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: a DJ Wagner game is how this goes wrong. And

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: that's what it was. Plus everyone else. I mean, they

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: were last in the SEC and two point and three

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: point percentage, They were two hundred and ninetieth in the

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: country in three point percentage.

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: And they shoot fifty two.

78
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta just tip the cap in that moment,

79
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: getting booed the pressure on them for them to go

80
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: out and play like that, you gotta throw your hands

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: in the air and say, well, you know, Arkansas deserves

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: deserve No.

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: They completely outplayed us, especially in the second half. I

84
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: thought the first half was very well played by both teams.

85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: You know, the narrative that has developed online of oh

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: our booze motivated them and you know Mayo e Karma. Yeah,

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: I mean the booze motivated both teams score halftime was

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: forty six forty five. I mean, both teams were rolling

89
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 4: in the first half. So I don't nothing that happened

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: pregame had any effect on the game. Something happened at halftime.

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: And for me, the irony of all ironies is John

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 4: Caliperry won with halftime adjustments.

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I.

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: Mean that that that is the thing that gets you.

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: Their shot chart looked like a shot chart from Mark Pope,

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: and I've been looking at their shot charts. They've been

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: the same as they were last year. It's just this

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: time he was like, you know what, maybe everybody had

99
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: a point, Maybe I'll shoot threes in layups. Now they

100
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: had to make them, which is that's the surprise. They

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: make thirteen out of what twenty four whatever threes, That

102
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: is the surprise.

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: That's why they won.

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, they won because of

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: loose balls and they hit those shots. It was really

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 4: John L. Davis in the first half. DJ Wagner in

107
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: the second half. And you know Wagner, I actually thought

108
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: looked shook in the first half. I thought this, he

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: doesn't like this. But then he came out in the

110
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: second half and probably had his best half as a

111
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 4: basketball player in college and we lose.

112
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 5: You're right. First half, he couldn't hit anything. I mean,

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: his shots were.

114
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: Nervous to me. In the first half, I thought, I

115
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: actually thought the opposite of what I thought. The booze

116
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: had gotten to him. And in the second half, whatever happened.

117
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: He came in and played.

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: He became an All American. In the second half. Dude

119
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: hit absolutely everything. Seventeen points, all seventeen of these points

120
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: in the second half. Could not miss Big Z every

121
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: time he spoted up. I thought to myself, Oh no,

122
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: and boom the.

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: Big C three. I think he hit the most important

124
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: shot of the game. Yeah, I mean we went from

125
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: down eleven to down six. Crowd is into it. We

126
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 4: played twenty five seconds, a really good defense on the

127
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: shot clock, and then Ansley Almanor is one rotation short,

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: which gives Z an open look and he makes it.

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: And then immediately we try to force a bounce pass

130
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: that gets stolen. I think it was Kobe Brea.

131
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 5: He was Kobe.

132
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: And then they get a layup and the lead is

133
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: right back to eleven again, and I thought at that

134
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 4: point that's when it was over.

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: Definitely even though there were several minutes left. That was

136
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: the dagger because as Kentucky was getting that momentum, Reparena

137
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: woke back up. You start thinking, all right, the math's

138
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: in the math here in Arkansas is gonna go cold.

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: They've been too hot.

140
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: And then Big Z throws in another one, and on

141
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: the wagger point, he went over five in the first half,

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: seven for eight in the second. I mean, what a

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: turnaround at halftime I was. That was my talking point

144
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: with my friends there. We're all right, DJ's over five,

145
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: he's gone cold. These other guys have to come down. Nope,

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: went the other way, and DJ turned it on and.

147
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: The other guys did come down, and then he came

148
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: out and had uh three.

149
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 5: The Kentucky dudes ended up with what fifty two points?

150
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: Three Kentucky guys had fifty two points In their entire

151
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: time at Kentucky. They never combined for more than thirty four,

152
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: and I don't think they've combined for fifty two this

153
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: year in a game. And so I mean, they you know,

154
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: you got to shake their hand. The you know, the

155
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: Cali Perry thing. There's an argument that, like, if he

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: had made some of these changes, he might still be

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: the coach here.

158
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if they if they played like that regularly.

159
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: Now they haven't played like that all year, and so

160
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 4: this could end up being like a one off, like

161
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: he got one moment, right, But it doesn't make it

162
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: any easier for the our fan base, who you know,

163
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: I do want to say to our fan base, like,

164
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: stop blaming each other. Okay, they hired our coach, which

165
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: we were happy about, but then they everybody was talking

166
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: trash all summer. One fan base was gonna have to lose.

167
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: We lost, and that's what happens. And you know what,

168
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 4: I still think long term, we're in a lot better

169
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: situation than they are. But for one night, they got us,

170
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: and all you can do is shake their hand and go,

171
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: they got us.

172
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: How many times did you say last week? This is

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: the type of game that count Once a year.

174
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: He does it once a year, and he did it

175
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: to us, and he usually does it in the game.

176
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: Oddly that the fans really really won for whatever reason,

177
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: and he and he did it, and you know, I thought,

178
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: and look, you don't have to give me you know,

179
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: I'll be critical if I need to be of him.

180
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 4: I thought he handled the night about as well as

181
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 4: you could. I thought his his you know.

182
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: He comes out and he gets boomed the booze.

183
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: You know, if you weren't there, you have to understand

184
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 4: there were a lot of people clapping and booing. It's

185
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: just the people are clapping were like, and the people

186
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: at booing were like and so like. The booz are

187
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: gonn to be louder, right, I don't know who was doing.

188
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: Actually think there was a lot more clapping than people

189
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: at home think there was. But there was booing, and

190
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: it was loud, and there were the nine o'clock thing

191
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: was a big part of that drew. There were a

192
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: lot of people who that's what they wanted to do,

193
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: And you know, it was funny to me, shows you

194
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: how fickle younger people are. The students were like Col's

195
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: biggest advocates last year, and they were the loudest booers. No,

196
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: I mean no, I'm not kidding, Like they were the

197
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 4: people ready to do it the most. It's just funny

198
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: how when you're young, you're just like whatever, you know,

199
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's what they were doing.

200
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and boos are naturally louder.

201
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: You didn't voice and all that, But I was actually

202
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: surprised that the player booing was as loud as me too.

203
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I knew they would get booed by a few people.

204
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: I thought we'd hear it. But that was the most

205
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: shocking part of the previous guys that a do in

206
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: big Z got booed, period, I.

207
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: Did.

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: I don't like the player boo part. I just I'm

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: not but I but again, I get it. I I

210
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: was really surprised when a dude because I think a

211
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: dude went first. No Z went first, and I thought

212
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: he'll get applause, and then he.

213
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: Did, right, and he got booed.

214
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: And then it was a little louder on a dudes,

215
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 4: and then it was really loud on DJ you're right,

216
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: and then it was really loud on CONTs and it

217
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: was like.

218
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: But people just had to get that out, I think.

219
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: And then you know, every time they touched the ball,

220
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: they were booming them. I mean that did kind of

221
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: surprise me a little bit, that reaction they got from

222
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 5: the rough crowd of like during the game, every time

223
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 5: they touched it.

224
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, did it motivate him, Well, sure

225
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: it did.

226
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure it did.

227
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: I mean, of course, but you know what that can

228
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: also go both ways. You can be scared to death

229
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: if they and they, to their credit, weren't. But for me,

230
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: we lost because of basketball because again in the first half,

231
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: both teams were lighting it up.

232
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 5: Sure like we got up eighteen to.

233
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: Twelve, and if we get a couple stops there, who

234
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: knows what happens, Which gets to my biggest complaint about

235
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: the game. You know, I'm a numbers guy, I'm an

236
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: analytics guy. I'll take analytics over regular life. But it

237
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: feels like to me, when we're rolling, we gotta be

238
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: careful putting in that second unit. In mass we're still

239
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: doing like hockey line changes, and I don't think we're

240
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: good enough with these injuries to be bringing in Hey,

241
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: we're up eighteen twelve, okay, Garrison.

242
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Chandler Perry right now.

243
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: I just don't think we can do that, right, I think,

244
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: And that's when they we went from eighteen twelve to

245
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: down twenty one to eighteen in like us thirty seconds.

246
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 5: I agree with you. I think there's some player, some

247
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 5: rotations that just didn't seem to make sense at times.

248
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: The big one you mentioned the first half when we

249
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: were struggling to come out a halftime. You know, and

250
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 5: I don't want to knock on any of the kids,

251
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 5: but he played some kids that maybe were having a

252
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: hard time and maybe they shouldn't have been playing them. Trent, No,

253
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 5: it didn't play one second.

254
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna go to the bench,

255
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: why not. He's had some success in the last few games.

256
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: But you know, go look at Arkansas's minutes drew Their

257
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: top three guys played like thirty eight, thirty seven, and

258
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 4: thirty nine minutes. I'm kind of looking at Robinson, Oway

259
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: and Williams and saying, guys, thirty nine minutes, good luck.

260
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 4: I mean, they did it, you know, I mean I

261
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: think we almost have to do that. I get this idea,

262
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 4: keep playing guys, but we just got some guys that

263
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 4: when the other team's really athletic, they just can't be

264
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: out there.

265
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Pope's done this forever. If you go back

266
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: and look at his teams, no one plays a whole

267
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: lot of minutes. It'd share like that. And I don't

268
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: know why that's in his system. But Saturday was a

269
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: game where Mary Williams need to play about every minute

270
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: his legs could take because when they would go to

271
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: him inside, the weight difference he had on big Z.

272
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: He was doing everything he wanted. He rebounded well, I

273
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: think he led the team and assists.

274
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 2: He was great. But he only played like twenty five minutes.

275
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta get trouble.

276
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: There was a little bit there, but yeah, he was

277
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: so good, and I just feel like Pope needs to

278
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: leave the best players.

279
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: On the floor. He has leave them in.

280
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: I mean last year a complaints were bring the best

281
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: players in. Now we're like leave them in.

282
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.

283
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: Maybe, Look, I get it playing a lot of bench players. Okay,

284
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: remember what our bench was to start the year. Yeah,

285
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: our bench was to start the year Braya Kerr, right,

286
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: you know who else?

287
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: Then it was Almanor and then Almanor.

288
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: All Right, that's a different five six, seven eight than

289
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: Garrison Chandler Perry.

290
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: Right.

291
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: So I mean when Almonor goes from eighth man to

292
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: a starter, I mean, man, he's like, you just gotta

293
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: play these guys because our drop off is pretty big

294
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: right now to the next group.

295
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: I mean we're over twenty games end of the season.

296
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 5: It's not like it's a conditioning thing. You know, these

297
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 5: guys are ready to They could go thirty five plus

298
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 5: minutes that they needed to, and I think they should have.

299
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 5: You should have rolled with these main guys on Saturday.

300
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was a mistake. But you know,

301
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: I mean we eat crow On it. Does it end

302
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: the season? No?

303
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: Does it change to me the overall trajectory of the programs. No,

304
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: But for one night it sticks. I mean, its like

305
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: you can't act.

306
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: Like my mom called me yesterday and she was treating

307
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: me like we'd had a death in the family.

308
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: She really was, Shannon. She was like, are you okay?

309
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, I'm just in Louisville, you know.

310
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: And she said, I mean it's okay if you're not.

311
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: Okay, she was doing a welfare check on you. Yeah.

312
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: I was like, I mean I'm down. I mean I

313
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: wanted to win, but like, I'll be all right. And

314
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: she was like, I mean, you can talk to me

315
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: about it.

316
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: If you need to, Like, yeah, but I mean, like

317
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: I was down, but I think she was worried, Like

318
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: are you really down?

319
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm not. I am honestly upset for two reasons.

320
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: One I wanted to get this one for Pope, yes

321
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: and for the fan base. And two we just lost

322
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: to a bad team. At home, and that's not good.

323
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: These are the games you gotta win.

324
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: That's first Quad two loss. But I also know we

325
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: can go to Ole Miss tomorrow night and win.

326
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 6: What.

327
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't let col beat you twice, now, you can't,

328
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, oh Miss will be the favorite. Yeah,

329
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 5: but you know what, we could still win that. That's

330
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 5: the games and Pope, we're using our best.

331
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: So it's amazing. Eight five nine.

332
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: We are six and one against the top fifteen, and

333
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: we are one and five against power six teams outside

334
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: of the top.

335
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: This is just a really good thing.

336
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 6: They beat Tennessee because if not, you be on a

337
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 6: what four game losing that.

338
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 4: Yes, but that's what we're doing all year is we're

339
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: winning these games and then we.

340
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: Play and we're like, well we got South Carolina home

341
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: next Saturday. Well I'm not making a prediction.

342
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: You know, who knows this group? You just you don't know.

343
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: We'll take a break. Be right back.

344
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: It's KSR. Welcome back.

345
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: They were four hundred hogs and they were just standing

346
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: out there. It's just sty ended up getting the victory.

347
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: Eight five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven

348
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: one person rates. Matt Wide did Colin Chandler have fourteen

349
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: minutes in the second half.

350
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't get that. Well. I didn't realize he had

351
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: fourteen minutes. That's a lot.

352
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 4: I mean, the reason he got fourteen minutes is he

353
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 4: guarded John L. Davis in the second half, and John L.

354
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: Didn't score much in the second half, so I think

355
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: Pope liked that. The problem is, while I'm amazed at

356
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: how well he fights on defense, he looks terrified on offense,

357
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: and so he takes a shooter off the floor in

358
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: a perimeter space for you, which is something I don't

359
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 4: think you can have in Pope's offense. I think in

360
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 4: Pope's offense, you better have four guys.

361
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: Who can shoot.

362
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 4: And he didn't look like he wanted to shoot, and

363
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: Brea couldn't make a shot, and then they were basically

364
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: making it. I mean they had the belief. And by

365
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: the way, this is exactly what who was it that

366
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: did to this did this to us Vandy. They were like,

367
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 4: Jackson Robinson is not gonna beat us.

368
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: That was what they did. I mean, in the second half,

369
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: they do not leave his side.

370
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: Jackson Robinson is not gonna beat us.

371
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: Brea. If you do it, you do it.

372
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: He ain't doing it, and then Away and Brea just

373
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: weren't able to do it. And Robinson, I mean, he

374
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: got a couple shots off and they went in. He played,

375
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 4: he went six for nine. He's gotta shoot more than

376
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: nine times. But I think they were like, he is

377
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: not beating us, and we'll live with.

378
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: The other guys.

379
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 3: Brea hit the early three in that run when they

380
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 3: got it to eighteen to twelve, and the when he

381
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: go zero for five after that completely disappeared on Chandler.

382
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: I thought he played really good defense, but seventeen minutes

383
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: in the game needed to probably be like ten, like

384
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: you're saying. Offensively, there was a key possession late in

385
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: the game where he had a little floater, missed it.

386
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: I think he missed a free throw. He just doesn't

387
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: look ready on that end of the floor. But he

388
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: got some deflections and played on ball defense on Davis

389
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: pretty well.

390
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: But still way too many minutes for him.

391
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 4: And there's a huge drop off if we're honest. At

392
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 4: least has been an sec play between Omar and Garrison.

393
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: You know you've heard my frustrations about Amar, but the

394
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: reality is, especially defensively, it's just a huge drop off.

395
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: I mean, Amary played, think about this, we lost by ten.

396
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: So the average your average time as a player, if

397
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: you were doing plus minus would be minus ten because

398
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: that was what the final score was. So you have

399
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: to remember it's not even zero, it's minus ten. A

400
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: Mario was plus fourteen or excuse me, am I right

401
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 4: about no, plus two. Mario was plus two, Garrison was

402
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: minus fourteen. That means you were winning when Williams played,

403
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 4: and you still ended up losing by ten. That means

404
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: of Mari was a If you look at the other guys,

405
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: they're all kind of it's nothing really sticks out, but

406
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 4: Garrison sticks out.

407
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: And I mean the big Z was the real dagger,

408
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: but another like half dagger was Brandon. Garrison missed a three,

409
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: and then DJ made a three, and I think Knox

410
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: got a steal in a donk or something. But the

411
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: Garrison three, they were only down six. Maybe that was

412
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: a big miss for him.

413
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's made a couple this year, but

414
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 4: I so I get it.

415
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: But the offense late in the state in the game

416
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 5: just came dump it down to Mario. Let him beat

417
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 5: Z one on one down the post. It's kind of

418
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: our offense there for a while.

419
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: But I want you to think about the irony there.

420
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: Their offense that was spread out, shoot threes, and we

421
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: were dumping it into the post. Yeah, like throwing it

422
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 4: into oscar against Kansas State. I mean like we literally

423
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: we almost flipped styles with them in the second half.

424
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: We let them play our style.

425
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: And we were playing the style of with Coal that

426
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 4: we didn't want to play anymore, which is dumped the

427
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: ball and then you know, and threes more than two.

428
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 2: They didn't want to.

429
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: Let big Z shoot last year and even this year

430
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: he wasn't shooting that much. That's the most threes he's

431
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: taken all season.

432
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they just let big Z go, you know.

433
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're cow like, if you're col is

434
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 4: there a better night you could have had? I mean,

435
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 4: you come out, you get booed, you don't like that.

436
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: But then there's a there's some Here's here's how I.

437
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: Take col Wall walking out.

438
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 4: He knew he was gonna get booed, and there's a

439
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 4: part that it hurt him, but he's also got a

440
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 4: little juice where he's like, all right, well, I guess

441
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: this is how it is. And then when it's over,

442
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 4: and he wins, like this side of him that really

443
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: hasn't been hit back since he was like, you know,

444
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 4: plank up, Patina, plink plank Jim Keller like when he

445
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: was doing that. I'm sure he felt that way in

446
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: the in the locker room after. And I I mean,

447
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 4: I can't.

448
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 2: Are you gonna watch the Vice documentary.

449
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be no, No, it went to where

450
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: we thought it was gonna be a nightmare for him

451
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 5: to a celebration. I can't watch that.

452
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's gonna be I'm sure that there'll be

453
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: some scenes of him going you know.

454
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: But I'll also say this though, about our fans.

455
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: It's but I see a lot of people online sort

456
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: of yelling like like the fans. You can think the

457
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 4: fans were wrong to do whatever they did, that's just

458
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: your personal opinion. But it did not affect the game.

459
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: Remember we got up eighteen to twelve, right, we were

460
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: the ones that came out on fire. We lost because

461
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: they were better in the second half than we were.

462
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 4: They made adjustments we didn't. That's why we lost. We

463
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 4: didn't lose because car mal geechee.

464
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: If you're not classy.

465
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: First of all, a lot of the people talking about

466
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 4: being classy. You ought to see the mentions you've written

467
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 4: me before in the past. But secondly, we lost because

468
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 4: oddly they out schemed and out hustled us did. And

469
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: that's like we actually should give them respect and respect

470
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: and credit for saying they went and won the game

471
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 4: and we just.

472
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 5: Didn't, Like, you know, Caliperio also, you know, after the game,

473
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 5: he said the right things. He's postgame game, he said

474
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 5: the right things, but you know, secretly it was just

475
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 5: he was jumping up and down Pumpany's fists, so happy

476
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 5: that he got that win.

477
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: Course, and if you if if it were me, i'd

478
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: be the same way. Yeah, of course, of course he would.

479
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: In the locker room, that clip comes out and he's

480
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 3: giving a speech and he says, I'm happy for my

481
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: three guys, and then he pauses and he goes and

482
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: me and he jumps right on top of him. I

483
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: just kind of had a little grin, like, cal, I

484
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 3: can't believe you did this to us.

485
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me ask you a question, do you think

486
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 4: this win makes it better or worse the next time

487
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 4: he came. I kind of thought if we won the

488
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: next time he comes, it won't be a thing. It's

489
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: still it's it's still gonna be a thing, which I

490
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 4: don't think it if he wins or if we win,

491
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: then I think it's like, all right, we won the divorce.

492
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: We wish you luck, we got out of our system.

Speaker 4: beat him in the SEC carry.

497
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't care about the SEC tournament. That's true.

498
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't care about the SEC tournament. But that might

499
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,040

507
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 4: some uh some you know, can't all be glooming do

508
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 4: Let's talk about some of the sights and sounds of Saturday.

509
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 4: First of all, ks bar, we ran out of beer.

510
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, right now, there is not

511
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: one bottle of beer.

512
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm serious.

513
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: Try that there's no beer here left. We've got some

514
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: taps I think that have them, but we're out of

515
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 4: a lot of those too. Yesterday, if you came here,

516
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: it was like you're gonna be on healthy Sunday because

517
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: we say, yes, it was a sober Sunday. I think

518
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 4: we get another shipment in here early this afternoon, but

519
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 4: there was no beer. Secondly, the moment that Cal came

520
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 4: out and then when he and Pope shook hands, I

521
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: intentionally took the view up.

522
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: There were some.

523
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 4: People here that where col people that I hadn't seen

524
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: in a long time that I was friends with, and

525
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 4: it was nice to see some of those people because

526
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 4: a lot of them, you know, they just left and then.

527
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: Just were like out of your life, right. Uh.

528
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 4: Darbyshire's dad, for example, is somebody that I've always been

529
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 4: really close to, and it was nice to get to

530
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: see him. I haven't seen him since they left, and

531
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: it was good to catch up with him and talk.

532
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 4: And you know, there were other people. But then I

533
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 4: also was respectful enough, like I'm not gonna go get

534
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 4: in the assistance faces, right, there's no reason for me not.

535
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 4: I'm sure they would have been fine, but like there's

536
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: no reason me. So when Ka, when Col walks in, Shannon,

537
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: I'm in the first row of the crowd, right like

538
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: I want to watch it, but I want to be before.

539
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: But I look at the media swarm.

540
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 4: In the center of it. Yeah, and what I see

541
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: is Cal searching for Pope, Pope, and it is Cal

542
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 4: Pope and.

543
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 5: Mario right in the middle, right there in the middle.

544
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean Mario.

545
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 4: When Cal walk down, Mario was not only I don't

546
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 4: know if this showed on at home or not, but

547
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: Mario was not only in the camera group. His camera

548
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: was like in Col's face. I mean even I even

549
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 4: like you know, I.

550
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 2: Always tell you to back up, Mario.

551
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: Mario was up his nose and I was like, I

552
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 4: wanted to scream Mario back up because he is like

553
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: right up bottom. And there is somewhere someone took a picture.

554
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: If you watch on TV.

555
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: I look later. The camera's on one side of the court,

556
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: but someone in the.

00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 4: Crowd on the other side has to have a picture

558
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: where the backdropper is the media. And I guarantee you

00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: she will shoot you talk about no conscience, but she

626
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: still went like fifteen twenty two, like she didn't miss much.

627
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: I was sitting there at this bar in Louisville just

628
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: hooting and hollering, and I'm the only person in the

629
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: place watching I'm not missing them again. They only have

630
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: like eight games left. I've watched most of their games

631
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: this year. I'm not missing another one. She is going

632
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: to go along, go down with Valerie Steel and Ryan

633
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: Howard as the best player to ever play here and people.

634
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: I know she gets some attention, but she needs to

635
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 4: get more attention.

636
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: She's unbelievable.

637
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: That was the best medicine yesterday after Saturday. I was

638
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: in a funk like everyone else Sunday morning. But then

639
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: she goes and does that, not just in any game.

640
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: That was the thirteenth rank team in the country on

641
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: the road at Oklahoma. She also had eight assists it's

642
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: not yeah school record in points. And then eight assists

643
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: and with a fishing seven threes I think seven.

644
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: I mean, she gets the ball right, and she's just

645
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: like like she's just like everywhere, and she's so low

646
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: to the ground that these these these young women like

647
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 4: they don't even know how to stay next to her.

648
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: And then as soon as you think she's about to pass,

649
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: three in your eye, just in your eye, and then

650
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: she runs down the court with this grin, and I

651
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 4: know the grin.

652
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: It's Max's grin.

653
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 4: It's that Australian sarcastic grin. I've seen it a million times,

654
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: and she does it. I could watch, I could watch

655
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 4: the women's team play. They are so much fun and

656
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: they play like three or four ranked teams in the

657
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: next four or five games. I mean, I'm definitely going

658
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: the next time they're here.

659
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 5: She's the best player on campus right now. There's no

660
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 5: doubt about it. Forty three points at says they're nineteen

661
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: and two. Like I said, just knocked off a top

662
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 5: fifteen team on their on their floor. She's the smallest

663
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 5: player on the floor. She's always the best player on

664
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: the floor. I love that about it.

665
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: I really did like the most. When when's the next game?

666
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: They have a week off. They're at Old Miss next Monday.

667
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Then they're at home for Texas and Georgia. Okay, after

668
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 3: that Tennessee.

669
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: They're going their home against Texas on the thirteenth.

670
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: Yep, three ballot, Yeah, okay, Mario, you back up if

671
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 4: you go?

672
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: Who's next, Chad, Chad? Go ahead? Chat? Hey, good morning, Matt,

673
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: good morning.

674
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: First off, I want to say I'm thankful for Pope.

675
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 7: I wouldn't trade Pope for ten Caliperi's now that I've

676
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 7: got that out of the way. I don't think DJ

677
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 7: Wagner scores near seventeen points if Butler is healthy. I

678
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 7: think that was we just struggled defensively because of him

679
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 7: not being there. And I know you touched on it

680
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 7: earlier about Chandler. The guy played seventeen minutes in the game.

681
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 7: He did a great job in the first half shutting

682
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 7: down Janelle Davis, but he has no offensive threat.

683
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 4: So well, you're right about that. That's probably too many

684
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 4: to be fair to Arkansas. I think you're exactly right.

685
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 4: I think we probably win that game with Butler, but

686
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: then they could reasonably go we lost Bookie fan. Yeah, right,

687
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: like they can reasonably say the same thing.

688
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, I agree with that, But I wanted Trent.

689
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 7: I wouldn't play back, you know, hope of talking about, Hey,

690
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 7: you know, we're having trouble fitting him in the line

691
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 7: up because we were so heavy at that position. But

692
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 7: I'll tell you something, that kid is an absolute faller.

693
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 7: He can rebound, play defense.

694
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: And he's great.

695
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 4: But there's a there is a big difference, to be

696
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: fair between playing in the thirteenth region and playing uh

697
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: you know, look, he's had don't get me wrong. Mount

698
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 4: Mamba's had good minutes and I and he'll have more.

699
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate, I appreciate the.

700
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 4: Call, and he maybe should play instead of uh, instead

701
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: of Chandler Chandler. But also his weakness, his garden guys

702
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: one on one, and that was everyone's weakness on set.

703
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 5: The only reason I was hoping he'd get in there.

704
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 5: You know, Arkanta was playing just more physical than we were,

705
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 5: and E were getting all the loose balls.

706
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: That's what the.

707
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: Trend has been good at. Yeah, I thought that might

708
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: help spark Kentucky if you give him a couple of minutes.

709
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: I think they should have given him a shot. I

710
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 4: didn't understand, like, not at all, you know, playing it.

711
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't change the outcome, but he earned it

712
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: the way he played at Tennessee play twelve minutes. He

713
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: had that fearless three pointer from the logo. To go

714
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: from that to not even get a glance in this game,

715
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: I thought he at least deserved a chance.

716
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did too.

717
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,

718
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: let's see, we'll take a break. We'll be right back

719
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: this Kazar. Welcome back, Tucky. Sworts radio. Those of you

720
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: asked me about to read Shepherd thing. I'm gonna talk

721
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 4: about it the second hour, just that we'll get I

722
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: want to give it just a little room to breathe

723
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 4: seven seven two seven seven four uh five two five

724
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: four Ryan.

725
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: By the way, people are sending me pictures of Mario.

726
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: He was not just that.

727
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: He was involved in everything, like he was in every

728
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: single picture of everything he is.

729
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: Look at him. He was just he's like a piparazzi. Yeah.

730
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 5: I was at home watching and he was in a

731
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: lot of the ESPN shots, you know, as the reporters

732
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 5: and the photographers trying to catch Cal and it come out.

733
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 5: I'm glad the Duke North come out of game. Got

734
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 5: over early. It was a route so we could enjoy

735
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 5: all that, you know.

736
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the uh, it was weird with the intro. I

737
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: went home. I walked home after Cal came out. Then

738
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 4: I went there and I rewound to watch because I

739
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: want to watch the intro.

740
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

741
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: No, they opened the broadcast with my voice.

742
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 5: I didn't even catch that.

743
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 4: Yes, they opened the broadcast with me going Kentucky basketball.

744
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: Nobody cares about winning more than Kentucky basketball. And then

745
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 4: it was like Jay Bill's and then it was like

746
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: Jay Williams. And then later in the game when they

747
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 4: were talking about the people about how when he left

748
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: the fans were ready for him to go, they put

749
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 4: up these articles.

750
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: First article, the.

751
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 4: Only blog I've written in two years, was the one

752
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: that said the Caliperry era ends in a whipper.

753
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: And there it is.

754
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: Then comes Tyler Thompson's next. It's like, well, thanks for

755
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 4: reading and listening ESPN.

756
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 5: What about the people that were tweeting you saying you're

757
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 5: you're the guy that told everybody to boo yesterday Saturday.

758
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 5: I saw a couple of those tweets coming at you.

759
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 4: People are idiots, Like if you don't, you didn't listen

760
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 4: to the show. Anyone who anyone who's listening right now

761
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: knows that I did not tell anyone it ever, and

762
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 4: I said I wasn't gonna boo. But it's a perfect

763
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 4: example of how it doesn't even matter what you say,

764
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: people will hear what they want to hear.

765
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: You know.

766
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 4: This was that dude on the uh whatever Pope's Cats.

767
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 4: What First of all, what a name, Jim Arthur m Ullen.

768
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: Days quite a name, quite a mouthful.

769
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean that sounds like a like a regal person.

770
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: Jim Arthur under, I guess rosse player at Duke.

771
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, I guess he runs that that that's that

772
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 4: board I was telling you about that Pope's cats that

773
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 4: for some reason seems not really favorable to Pope or

774
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: the cats, like they're all cow people, and uh, I

775
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 4: guess they hate us. And he just wrote what about

776
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 4: KSR people and especially Matt Jones who encouraged the fan

777
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: base to boo loudly at coach Cow.

778
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: That never happened, Never happened.

779
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 4: But then of course I mistakenly look at comments and

780
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: it's all I'm sure nice.

781
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: People going why to do that? Alla, Rade? And I'm like,

782
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't.

783
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: You said all weak fans should do what they want

784
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 3: to do. You said it's okay if they do, it's

785
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: okay if they cheer.

786
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm not their dad, all right, I'm not.

787
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that seem to want to

788
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 4: be the Kentucky fan base's father and mother and tell

789
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 4: them what to do.

790
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want. They're grown people, and

791
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 2: John Caliperry can handle it.

792
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it made him killed probably didn't, but

793
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: you know what, he proved he could handle it.

794
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 5: It didn't make.

795
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 4: Us thrilled when he said we lost a Tennessee about

796
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 4: twenty two in the SEC tournament, but I get to

797
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 4: go see my dogs. I wasn't thrilled by that comment.

798
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 4: So people can express whatever emotions they want. And there

799
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: were a lot of people clapping, a lot of people clapping,

800
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 4: and good for the like they can do that.

801
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 5: That didn't come through on the TV broadcast. All we hear.

802
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 4: Because again, let's pray to something. I'm gonna clap. You

803
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 4: move the mic back and you boom. You don't have

804
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: to take it off, but just put it close to you,

805
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: all right, reading anybody hear that clap, Let's try again.

806
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: We give that same reaction. We're gonna get way two

807
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 4: different sounds, and that's kind of what happened.

808
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: What did you think of Cal's ol people's eyebrow that

809
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: they captured as he was walking through the tune.

810
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 2: He was smiling, but he kind of raised.

811
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: His eye program That was a nice touch. I will say,

812
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: all right, I'm all for Mark Pope's niceness. He inspires

813
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 4: me to be nice, right, I'm all for that. Like

814
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: the you know the Mormons smiles that we saw at

815
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 4: b YU. Everybody's friendly and happy and I'm four, But

816
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: all right, Mark, sometimes I need you to be like.

817
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: Yes and always like you know, have smile like this

818
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: is one of those burrs.

819
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 5: Just once or twice I said his postgame radio show

820
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 5: with Tom Leach, he could he couldn't even talk. He

821
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 5: would start talking, he would pause. Well, I mean, uh pause,

822
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 5: those guys are pause. I mean he couldn't even get

823
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 5: the words out. He was so upset.

824
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's clear he's messed up with this roster. He

825
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: doesn't know what to do right now without Butler Crease.

826
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so what do we think about Butler?

827
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: I bet he's not playing him all night.

828
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: Well, but I mean he said we're trying to create

829
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: a new team. He did it.

830
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: It may if you only heard ninety seven percent of

831
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: his comments, you'd think this kid wasn't playing it. Yeah,

832
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 4: but then he did say we'll give it a go

833
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: with him one more time. Sounds to me like he's

834
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 4: got something in his shoulder that probably needs to be fixed,

835
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 4: and both he and Butler are trying to say he

836
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 4: could probably play with it, but it's probably not best

837
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: for this is just my read.

838
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,760
Speaker 2: Hurt, probably gonna.

839
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: Have to have surgery at some point, but could play

840
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 4: in pain, but won't be one hundred percent, and he

841
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: and Butler are both trying to decide do we do it?

842
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: That's how I read it? Is that how you read it?

843
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're trying to figure out the right equation there

844
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: of how much to play him without hurt him long

845
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 3: term in the postseason.

846
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 2: It's a little comforting.

847
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 3: As we've seen on social media, his his dad and

848
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: mom have you know, shared things that that seem like

849
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: they say he'll be back eventually. And then Butler was

850
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: in that Brandon Garrison Live and we could go say

851
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: and he'll be back, but I still don't feel like

852
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: we'll see it.

853
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 4: Soon eighty percent. Butler's better than what we have.

854
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we need it.

855
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 5: He's a super tough kid. I mean, he doesn't want

856
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 5: to go out like this. It's his last year playing

857
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 5: collegiate basketball.

858
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: He's at Kentucky.

859
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 5: He's gonna give it a go at some point.

860
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: Who's next, Tyler? Tyler? Go ahead, Tyler?

861
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt so cal Pay, I ain't as good as

862
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 6: he once was. He's good once as.

863
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: He was he's true. I mean, that's a really good point.

864
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 2: I mean he can't.

865
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: He can only meet the sisters once every two years,

866
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 4: but once every two years.

867
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and uh and but even cal Perry said,

868
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 6: this was one game, and uh, you know, I'd expect

869
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 6: this Pope team to get back up, that's itself off

870
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 6: and get back to work, and uh, you know, the

871
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 6: best way to avenge this, Liza nascill I agree.

872
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 4: And then also the I appreciate the call. I think

873
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 4: part of the best way to avenge it is don't

874
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: think about it anymore. They still got a ton of

875
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: work to do to just get in the tournament. And

876
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 4: we you know, this team's won a lot of really

877
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 4: good games. The sort of PostScript for this team is

878
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 4: going to be written by what we do in March,

879
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 4: both in.

880
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: The SEC and the NCAA term.

881
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw a while reaction after the loss. I mean,

882
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 3: the loss definitely sucked, and there are some big flaws

883
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: with this team.

884
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 2: But did people forget.

885
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: He'd beat Duke Louisville, Florida, Gonzaga, allow out all the rivals.

886
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: He already has the record for top twenty five wins

887
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: in the regular season. It's been a pretty good ride

888
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: so far, even though Saturday was off.

889
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 4: I had seen a lot of really anti Pope stuff,

890
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 4: which is good because there shouldn't be. I mean, he lost,

891
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 4: and that stinks, but we won a lot of good

892
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 4: ones and there's still a lot of this season left

893
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: to go.

894
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 5: This what is this the third time where he's won

895
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 5: a game. I didn't think they would win and lose

896
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 5: a game. I didn't think they'd lose. You know, the

897
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: Clemson Gonzaga week, It just killed the Tennessee.

898
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 4: I actually thought that was last week for us. I

899
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 4: thought that was going to be the Van d Tennessee.

900
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 4: Like we lost to Vandy but then won at Tennessee. Well,

901
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 4: let's win at Old Miss and keep it going. Yeah, yeah,

902
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 4: So who knows a five nine two ah uh twenty

903
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 4: two eighty seven will take a break when we come back.

904
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 4: We do need to talk about the uh, the Shepherd thing,

905
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: because while I will tell you what again, you just

906
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 4: judge it by the average fan.

907
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 2: That's what people were writing me the most.

908
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 5: Is it really upset people?

909
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: It really did?

910
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it and honestly, when I saw it, well

911
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 4: when I saw it you over here, I thought.

912
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: It was Ai.

913
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 5: You thought the pregame show.

914
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I thought.

915
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: It had to be AI. I was like, there's no

916
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 4: way that guy, there's no way that kid did that.

917
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: And then he did. So we will talk about it

918
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 4: and more. We are here at Kspar and Grail. You

919
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 4: come on out and have lunch. We'll take a break.

920
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 4: This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
