00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: Of singing yesterday. I have to tell you now, I've

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: seen you.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: I've seen you perform a few times, and I and

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: you do an absolutely amazing job. I was here for

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: the beginning and then I came back towards the end.

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: You hadn't stopped the whole time, and you had a

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: crowd rocket the whole time.

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: You were full.

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: I felt sorry for the bands downstairs. They couldn't compete

48
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: with you up here. But how what is it like?

49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you've ever done that before. Seeing four

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: straight hours without a break. They are hard drivers here

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: at tin roof.

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: What did you think?

53
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: I will say it was a lot easier to do

54
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: with all the people here, So a big thanks to

55
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 5: those of you who were here. You guys brought the

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 5: energy and it went by surprisingly fast.

57
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: We did have a little bit of help.

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: We had some special guests come up on.

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's talk about who's sang first of all?

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: Of course Ryan saying he always sings, uh, and what

61
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: did you end up singing this time?

62
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: Wagon Wheels? One song one? Then the big surprise.

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: So I stayed here for like forty five minutes, went

64
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: off to the game. I get a text message and

65
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Vince Merrow says, I want to come see Shannon play.

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: He shows up. I'm not even here and he came

67
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: on stage and sang with you too.

68
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: In between what of the songs?

69
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: I hear somebody yelling my name and I look over

70
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 5: it's Vince Merrill and he goes, you guys are actually

71
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 5: pretty good.

72
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was not expecting that, he told me. I

73
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: guess the barb was very low.

74
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 5: And then somebody said to me, you know, if you

75
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: go over there and you get Vince to sing, or

76
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: if you ask him to sing, simple man, he will

77
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 5: come up and do Leonard Skinner with you. I was like, no,

78
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 5: he won't.

79
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: Yes, actually he did that in his wedding reception. I

80
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: will also note, however, if you've seen the video, Vince

81
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: is a better recruiter than he is and then he

82
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: is a singer.

83
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: But you gotta love the effort, right, I love it.

84
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: I love the swag for him to come up here.

85
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 5: He came up here looking for the teleprompter. I think, like,

86
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: where's the words at Like, oh, there.

87
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Are no words. Yeah, he just had to make it happy.

88
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was awesome.

89
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Then, on the other hand, we have Drew, who I

90
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: knew it was an issue when I had a friend.

91
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: I woke up this morning to a text that says,

92
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: it's three forty five in the morning and there's Drew

93
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: across the street.

94
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: So you got here this morning, Well done to you

95
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: after a.

96
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 6: Big light Like I would like to actually think my

97
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 6: Uber driver all week, it's been ten dollars to get

98
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 6: to Broadway PID one hundred US dollars to go home

99
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 6: last night in the rain at Surge pricing at the

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 6: end of the night, Yes, she'll got home a little earlier.

101
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: And then a big shout out to all the Kentucky fans.

102
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: It took I think until last night, but Kentucky fans

103
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: have taken over the city of Nashville.

104
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty clear.

105
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: Especially this morning walking around, you could just see it.

106
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: I genuinely believe that the session tonight and then assuming

107
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: we win the session Saturday, Ryan, I think they're gonna

108
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: be two of the wildest sessions in terms of attendance

109
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: and just people in the city. I mean, let's just

110
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: do a little thing. How many of you all in

111
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: here have tickets tonight?

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: Raise your hand, all right? How many of you just

113
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: wanted to be here and you're gonna be watching in

114
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: a bar somewhere tonight. I mean, that's a lot a

115
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: lot of people.

116
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: And so I think Kentucky fans, if I'm in if

117
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: you are in Kentucky, even if you do not have tickets,

118
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: I would want to be here. The only other place

119
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: to be chas bar in Lexington. But I really believe,

120
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gonna it's gonna be great here today.

121
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

122
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 7: Like I said, we were so long overdue as a

123
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 7: fan base to have a good weekend.

124
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: At the SEC tournament. Man, we're craving.

125
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 7: This is our weekend, this is our tournament. We finally

126
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 7: feel like we can get back to that level this weekend.

127
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: So Kentucky will play Texas A and M today seven o'clock.

128
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: It is a obviously a huge game for Kentucky. I

129
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: kind of take the view. This has been my view

130
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: of the whole time. I think if we win tonight,

131
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: I ain't we win the whole thing. I aink we

132
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: went the whole tournament. I oddly think tonight's gonna be tough.

133
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: It's probably if you're just looking matchup wise, Drew probably

134
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: the team that's the hardest for us to match up

135
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: with the way they play. I mean we're better than them,

136
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 3: but they play a physical style.

137
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Their guards.

138
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: While they can't stop us, they can kind of be

139
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: physical with us. And then they have a dude and

140
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: Wayde Taylor who can go off on you. They beat

141
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: us down there. I like us against pretty much anybody

142
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: else we would see plus A and M is according

143
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: to Joe Lonardi, the last team in the tournament, and

144
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: Lenardi said this morning, if A and M beats Kentucky today,

145
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: they're in. If they lose, who knows, it'll either be

146
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: them or Cream Abdul Jabbar. So the way I look

147
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: at it is, we win today, we win the SEC tournament.

148
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: We also got to do it for Cream Abdul Jabbar.

149
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: He's not gonna make the tournament unless we win today.

150
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: We gotta get a victor, gotta get it done. It's

151
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: a team you've got a little motivation. Having lost there,

152
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're eager to get them back. I will say,

153
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: Buzz Williams in Texas.

154
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 4: A and M.

155
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 6: They go on some runs in this tournament. They had

156
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 6: a good run last year. They can be a dangerous team.

157
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 6: But I mean, all the fans here we won something special.

158
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 6: If we're gonna do something special, A and M doesn't

159
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 6: matter today. Win this game and we're moving on.

160
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be first of all four great games today.

161
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the matchup against A and M.

162
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 7: Well, we played him in January. They kind of bullyed

163
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 7: us around. They out rebound us like by twenty. But

164
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 7: you know, I think we've learned, We've got a little

165
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 7: bit better defensively. We've got a little better rebound in

166
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 7: the basketball and we've learned now Now man, even if

167
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 7: you turn the police around, we can still outscore you.

168
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 4: So I like our chances.

169
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: At the game against An, A and M, they absolutely

170
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: bullied our bigs. I mean our bigs just got thrown

171
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: around and that was I mean all of them. Everybody

172
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: that played got absolutely just tossed around. Tonight, some of them,

173
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Shannon have to fight back, and if they do, I

174
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: think we win by ten.

175
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 5: I know last game they didn't have Big Z. I'll

176
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 5: be interested to see if he gets any playing time tonight.

177
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: If he can be physical, I mean, he can be

178
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: a guy that can be an enforcer down low for Kentucky.

179
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 5: I don't know that he will be that, but they

180
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: didn't have him last game.

181
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: Wait, this was the game there where cow started moving

182
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 3: away from Bradshaw and towards Ugo. Was this game because

183
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: he saw Bradshaw get absolutely manhandled and he kind of

184
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: switched the way he's been.

185
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: Playing, and A and M saying they're not gonna change

186
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: any other game plan based on the fact that Big

187
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 5: Z is eligible to play tonight, So it'll be interesting

188
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 5: to see. But if the Kentucky has got to be

189
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 5: more physical, there's no doubt about that it is.

190
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: It's a greats also to knock Buzz Williams in his

191
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: vest out of the NCAA tournament. I mean he wears

192
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: I kind of like a vest because I would never

193
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: wear one, but I'd like to see him out of

194
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: the tournament.

195
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: He feels like a and m feels like an n

196
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: I T team to be.

197
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 6: I mean, I clearly want to beat him today, but

198
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 6: I'm a little bit of a closet Buzz Williams fan.

199
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: I think Ryan is too.

200
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 6: I hope he lose by a million points and he's

201
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 6: on his couch tomorrow in this tournament.

202
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: But I do think he's a very good coach.

203
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: That's why they are a dangerous team and they've gone

204
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 6: on runs in the postseason in the past.

205
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 7: I feel like he's kind of my doppelganger. I think

206
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 7: we could be twins. He got the fake hair, I

207
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 7: got the fake hair. He's a snazzy dresser. I'm a

208
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 7: snazzy dresser.

209
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 5: You yeah, as you wear your free T shirt right now,

210
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 5: it literally says your shirt.

211
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: I have to tell you. There's very few ways I

212
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: think you're like Buzz Williams. You both got plugs. That's

213
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: that's good.

214
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're both handsome young men.

215
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean you're both not young and we can both

216
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: pull off a vest. Well, what's the last time you

217
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: ever wore a vest?

218
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: Well, you know I.

219
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: Did like you rock in the One's Day T shirt everywhere.

220
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were supporting all the women out there before

221
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: you called him gal at some point during the day

222
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: for Kentucky there in town. They practiced here yesterday. Antonio

223
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: Reeves I think made third team to All American from

224
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: the Sporting News. So give a big round of applause.

225
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: That's one of the six major ones I think drew

226
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: for us to win the SEC tournament and maybe to

227
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: win the NCAA tournament, but certainly the SEC tournament, Antonio

228
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: Reeves probably needs to be the MVP. He has scored

229
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: at least fifteen points every single time he's left Rupperina,

230
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: and he scored at least twenty points ten of the

231
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: twelve times he's left Repperina, which is an absolutely insane statistic.

232
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 6: Do you think it continues down here? I mean, I'd

233
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 6: be crazy to say it wouldn't. It's just every game

234
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 6: like the last game, you know, he's match reading points.

235
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 6: We're all talking about Reid and you're looking at the

236
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 6: boxer're like, oh yeah, Antonio.

237
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, twenty seven. You don't even think of it.

238
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's almost just a given at this point.

239
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 6: I'm very excited for him in this postseason because last

240
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 6: year he had he had a pretty bad game when

241
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 6: they was sent home, and I'm excited for his redemption tour, especially,

242
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 6: I know, Bob and Jamestown, if you're out there, Antonio

243
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 6: Reeves is coming because he's got to make up for

244
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 6: what happened a year ago. And I think he's gonna

245
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 6: play well because it's done it every single game in

246
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 6: SEC play.

247
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: He had an interesting comment. I don't know if you

248
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: saw this, he said. He said in an interview, I

249
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: think yesterday, if not the day before. He said he

250
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: was kind of surprised that this has worked out as

251
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: well as he has. I mean, it's a I don't

252
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: know how many people know the situation that brought him back,

253
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: but part of why he came back is it wasn't

254
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: a one hundred percent clear he could play somewhere else

255
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: like that.

256
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 2: There was there was like.

257
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: Some sort of rule that he thought he might be

258
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: able to but he might not, and so it was

259
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: just easier to come back. And I think there was

260
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: a part of him that wasn't that thought if he

261
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: came back, you.

262
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: Wouldn't play Ryan, that he'd be like he'd be.

263
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Sitting seventh or eighth man. For him to come back

264
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: be first team all sec.

265
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Is a real great store, you know.

266
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 7: That was the storyline we had this summer. Yeah, if

267
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 7: he came back, is he gonna have to come off

268
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 7: the bench again? With the talent that Cal was bringing in,

269
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 7: that was a concern.

270
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: But there was a real worry that for him that

271
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: and I don't know what the rule was, but he

272
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: had two choices of where to play Kentucky and Illinois State.

273
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: Like he wasn't he was either gonna have to go

274
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 3: back there or come here. He didn't really there was

275
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: something about the academic situation that made it where he

276
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: may not be able to go anywhere else. And I'm

277
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: not saying that's why he came back, but I think

278
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: it was part of it.

279
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: And to see that work out Drew, I think he's awesome.

280
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was a little worried, you know, with Cal

281
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 6: having a freshman class. Obviously, you know Cal loves is

282
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 6: one and Done's will I be second fiddle to them,

283
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 6: But that's a credit to this team. How you know,

284
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 6: they embraced him, these freshmen, and really we talk about

285
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 6: this all the time, but from the first seat on

286
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 6: the bench till the end, this is the best attitude

287
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 6: I've seen of a.

288
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Group, no doubt ever.

289
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 6: I mean, you have guys who came in here thinking

290
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 6: they were going to the NBA, They're probably not gonna

291
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: play another minute, and they are cheering just as loud

292
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 6: as anyone else on the bench for their teammates.

293
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: Since we've been doing this in the col Air, I

294
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: think you can really see a correlation between how these

295
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: teams get along and how they do. I mean, they

296
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: haven't had they haven't had a team that hated each

297
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: other really since cal'sman here.

298
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: But they've had a couple where guys just weren't really

299
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: that close.

300
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: Last year's team was like that, to be quite frank

301
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: with you, the COVID team was like that a little bit.

302
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: And it's not a coincidence those teams struggled. I think

303
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: this team loves each other player to player.

304
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: I think they all are connected, and of course they

305
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: got the news yesterday. A second NBA mock draft has

306
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: Reed Shepherd going number one in the draft. A second one, Shannon,

307
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and it was the Ringer. Now

308
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: twenty four to seven Sports, two different mock drafts have

309
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: Reed Shepherd going number one in the draft.

310
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: It's crazy, isn't it? Like it wasn't it was like

311
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: five or six years ago.

312
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: Just so you know, Reed Shepherd was at this show

313
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: at the SEC Turn when he was like in seventh grade.

314
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean, we may have a future number one draft

315
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: pick sitting out there in the crowd right now.

316
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean, Reed Schipper was at this show. Which one

317
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: of you is? It gets you right here, you future

318
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: number one draft pick. I'll tell you what. I'll get

319
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: a picture of you just in case it happened, so

320
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: that I'll be ready in a few years because I

321
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: didn't take a picture of Read when he was here.

322
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: But isn't that nut?

323
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: I mean, considering where we thought he would be, the

324
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: conversations we were having this time last year talking about

325
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 5: him coming in to the team. But yeah, he'll be

326
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 5: a guy that comes off the bench, which he is

327
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 5: a guy that comes off the bench, but a guy

328
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 5: that maybe contributes as a six or seventh man to

329
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 5: now be the project at number one draft pick. They've

330
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: got what I guess, nine games. If they run the

331
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 5: table left, it's his to lose, though, unless he had

332
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: some really bad games.

333
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: It's his to lose at this point. And that's really unbelievable.

334
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: And on that point, I do want to say this.

335
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: I think pretty much all of you have the same view.

336
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: Don't you think this has been one of the most

337
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: fun teams we've ever had here at Kentucky at a time,

338
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: at a time when Kentucky basketball, in my opinion, really

339
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: needed a fun team. They've had a fun team. And

340
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: I look, I'm gonna be as nervous as any of

341
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: you guys. These next nine games will be nerve racking.

342
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: But this is this is gonna be the last chance

343
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 3: to see this group, and most of the people we

344
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: like the most we will not see again in a

345
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: Kentucky uniform. I do hope everybody really embraces that chance,

346
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: because this is gonna there's gonna be some special memories

347
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: that people will keep for a long time that happened

348
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: over these next four weeks. We're gonna take a break.

349
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: We are here at ten Roof in Nashville. We were returning.

350
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

351
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: Quarterback.

352
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,479
Speaker 3: It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live in Nashville, Tennessee.

353
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: Let's uh, we have about Kentucky. Brandon, by the way,

354
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: is back in the back. They've got UK gear and

355
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: KSR gear, some great hats shirts. All that stuff is

356
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: right back there in the back where that tent is.

357
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Thanks to ten Roof and country Boy, I want to

358
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: do a little little sort of test. How many of

359
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: you guys here are from Kentucky? Let me hear from it,

360
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: all right, So let's do a little part of the state.

361
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: How many folks here are from eastern Kentucky?

362
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: Six oh six?

363
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: Okay, come on, if you're from eastern Kentucky, I can

364
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: we do better than that. How many from eastern Kentucky?

365
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: Three we're a little we're a little thing.

366
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: How many you know what?

367
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: How many from the eight five nine in central Kentucky?

368
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: All right?

369
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: How many we got from Lowisville five oh two? Well,

370
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: I think I know what this one's gonna be. How

371
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: many from the two seven oh in Western Kentucky? Kind

372
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: of split out? How many from out of state, all right,

373
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: so from all over the place, no dominant looks like

374
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: your western Kentucky people win for once, we're sleeping in a.

375
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: Little bit, but we still have a good turnout today.

376
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 6: I will add that we have a distinct advantage today

377
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 6: because it's good.

378
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: As the crowds have been.

379
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 6: And I've been up and down Broadway a couple of times,

380
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 6: I don't think I've seen an A and M fan

381
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 6: I've seen.

382
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: I've not seen an AN and I have seen every fan.

383
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: Their student section last night we counted had seven people

384
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: and three of those weird cheer dudes assigned to it,

385
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: and was basically one cheer dude for every two students

386
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: they had in the crowd.

387
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: I was in an elevator yesterday.

388
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 6: It was just me, an Arkansas fan and the nice

389
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 6: lady that hits the button, Susan.

390
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: This Arkansaw fan was broken. I mean I wanted to

391
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: hug him. He was so down.

392
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 6: And as he's leaving, he turns and he looks at

393
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 6: me and he goes, good luck to you all and

394
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 6: just walks off. And I've thought about that guy a lot.

395
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: How you respected the basketball? That's right, he was at

396
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 6: his worst and his lowest, but he still gave me

397
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 6: a little good luck to.

398
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: You, my Kentucky Brandon.

399
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: Worst tweet of the year goes to uh, Bob and Jamestown,

400
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: who writes, Matt Tell Drew after I called out Antonio

401
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: reeves nine points. That spurred him on and that's why

402
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: he's playing so well. Shut up, Bob and Jamestown.

403
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: That is true, though, that is fast here. You think

404
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: Antonio rus are sitting there and he goes, oh, well,

405
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: Bob and Jamestown thinks I need to play better, so

406
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: I must see.

407
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 5: I didn't say there was any correlation, but it is true.

408
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: After that call, he did start playing better.

409
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Did you see the last Journey video?

410
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 6: Yes, you can actually freeze a frame and he has

411
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 6: a picture, Bob and Jamestown, that was mirror where every

412
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 6: morning he wakes up and that's his motivation.

413
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: At least it doesn't have a picture of his porch

414
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: on his mirror.

415
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: They would not be able to show it in that video.

416
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: Eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

417
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some other the games today. You got

418
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: your lead off with Tennessee versus Mississippi State. How many

419
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: of us are cheering for Mississippi State this after that.

420
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: Tenessee's got a lot of people here. I mean, I

421
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: will say Tennessee. There was a time Tennessee's fan base

422
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: that these things was little. Now I think it's without

423
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: question the second biggest fan base here. If you want

424
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: to be able to buy tickets tomorrow for not an

425
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: outrageous price, you'd like to see Tennessee lose. That would

426
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: be a good way for tickets to come down.

427
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: You think they win today, I think they do.

428
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 7: I mean, I know, we just beat them, but they

429
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 7: I still think they're a good basketball team. And you're right,

430
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 7: there's a lot of orange walking around here. And a

431
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 7: Kentucky and Tennessee both end up on Saturday, that's gonna

432
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 7: be a really hard ticket to get.

433
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: Playing for a one seed, And the general thought is

434
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 3: North Carolina and Tennessee. If Tennessee wins the SEC Tournament,

435
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 3: they get the one seed. If they don't and North

436
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 3: Carolina wins, they think they get the one seed.

437
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: The bracket has busted in the ACC.

438
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: All the good teams are out, so it looks like

439
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: North Carolina can win it. So Tennessee basically playing Drew

440
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: to try to get a one seed and win if

441
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: they win this tournament.

442
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 6: It's unfortunate that they need to win the tournament because

443
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 6: that's not happening. But I do not like that they

444
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 6: have like a quiet confidence their fans around here.

445
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 2: You know, we just won. We're being a little.

446
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 6: Noisy when we see them, but they're kind of silent

447
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 6: looking forward to a rematch on Sunday. And as much

448
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 6: as I want them to lose today, I kind of

449
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 6: want them on Sunday too.

450
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: I will say this, this is another reason for us

451
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: to beat them.

452
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 3: If you look at how it would play out if

453
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: Tennessee does not get a one seed, then I think

454
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: if you just look at how the numbers go, there's

455
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: a really good chance we would end up as the

456
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 3: three in purduees region, which to me is the best

457
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: thing you could end up with if you're Kentucky because

458
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: the way, if North Carolina is the one out west,

459
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: then Tennessee will probably be placed with Yukon.

460
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: Because that's where they're the closest.

461
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: And then that leaves us either in Detroit with UH

462
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: with Purdue, or in Dallas with Houston. And just looking

463
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: at the numbers, I think we'd end up in Detroit,

464
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: and you tell me we can go to Pittsburgh for

465
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: the first couple of rounds and then Detroit with Purdue

466
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 3: is our one and Mark Kent is our two. I

467
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: don't know if you could ask Ryan for a better

468
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: drawl to try to make the final four of them that.

469
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: We're all taking that drawl.

470
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 7: There's no doubt about it, because the one we had

471
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 7: last week, I didn't like the North Carolina and Yukon

472
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 7: and our run our bracket. You give me Marquette and Purdue, absolutely,

473
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 7: I'm taking it.

474
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: And beating Tennessee twice, in my opinion, will get us well,

475
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: it'll it'll ensure we don't end up with Yukon, which

476
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: I think is the most important thing for us.

477
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: So we want, we want to win it, but we

478
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: also want Tennessee to lose.

479
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: If you tell me I got Purdue as my one,

480
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 5: SAI and Marquetez my two, I'll take that all day.

481
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 5: For due chokes every year in the NCAA tournament, I

482
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: don't believe in them at all.

483
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: And then with Creighton and.

484
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 5: Duke losing last night, that helps Kentucky as far as

485
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 5: seeding goes as well, bumping up maybe to the number

486
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 5: one three seed.

487
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: Uh before we go.

488
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 3: The phones Kenny Payne at Louisville out a lot of

489
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: chatter both yet yesterday and last night about the whole

490
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: Scott Drew thing. Let's say Louisville, we're to be able

491
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: to convince Scott Drew to take that job. Does that

492
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: worry you at all? Or you say we're still gonna

493
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: dominate him?

494
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: It doesn't worry me.

495
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 7: I mean, he's a good coach, but it doesn't worry me.

496
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 7: And there there are such a dumpster fire right now.

497
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 7: He can't He's not gonna be able to build them

498
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 7: up for a while. It's gonna take him whoever gets

499
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 7: that job a couple of years.

500
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I let him have it. Line up the next one.

501
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 6: We'll beat them to They are so broken right now.

502
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 6: I don't know why he would even consider that job

503
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 6: where I know it's Waco, Texas and Baylor.

504
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: But they say their boosters are gonna come together and

505
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: they're going because you know they they are now, just

506
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: so people realize they are still pain, Rick Patino, Chris Mack,

507
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: Kenny Payne, and that they will be paying next season

508
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: four different coaches next year.

509
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: Wow, imagine that you want Kenny Payne out so bad.

510
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 5: You know, this buyout dropped down to six million in April.

511
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 5: Imagine not waiting two weeks. Yeah, they did say two

512
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 5: million dollars.

513
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: They could have saved two million dollars by waiting two weeks.

514
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: And they're like, we just gonna give it. You gotta go.

515
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 3: That's amazing. But I think the fact they're gonna be

516
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: playing four coaches next year, and and they're.

517
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: Probably all those coaches. Chris Max will be your next coach?

518
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: Here are you? I mean, that's that's what it looks like.

519
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: Well, maybe that name Will Wade's another name that has

520
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 5: been floating around for the Vanderbilt head coach.

521
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: Jo come here.

522
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: You don't think you believe McNeese.

523
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: No job, No, it's not. Who's up next? I'd rather

524
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: coach at McNeese State.

525
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: Go ahead? I don't even know where it is. Kentucky. No, Kentucky.

526
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: Joe can't go, he sang ten minutes ago. I love you, Joe,

527
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: but you don't get to you don't get to come

528
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 3: on back to back shows.

529
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: Who's next? Jackson, Jackson? Go ahead, Jackson?

530
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt is your self proclaimed favorite.

531
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: Twelve year old Darry Be careful, Jackson. I was say,

532
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: twelve year old fan, that was it? Yes, I have a.

533
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 8: Stat, a comment, and a question. Okay, is that in

534
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 8: this is the old This is the fifth year that

535
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 8: we beat Auburn, Mississippi State, Florida, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt all

536
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 8: on true road games, and the last four times that happened,

537
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 8: we were national.

538
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: Champions He's exactly right about that.

539
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: By the way, that is a real stat that Kentucky,

540
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: those four teams, we have only beaten them.

541
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: All on the road in the same year.

542
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: This is the fifth time, and the other four times

543
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: we won the national championship. So it is a very

544
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: very good sign. Jackson, I think the crowd likes that.

545
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: I'd like to take the rest of it, but I

546
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: gotta go to break. Jackson, I'm sorry, Let's get this victory.

547
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: We'll take a break and be right back. This is

548
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: Kentucky's Arts Radio quarterback, Kentucky Sports Radio. I have a

549
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: request from a friend here. They want to hear Nashville

550
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 3: in Kentucky. Give them to him right here. I don't

551
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: even know if you can actually if it's even translates

552
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: over the radio. How many people are here at tin roof,

553
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: But the place is absolutely packed, Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin,

554
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 3: and Shannon the Dude eight five nine two eight oh

555
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 3: twenty two eighty seven text Machine seven seven two seven

556
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: seven four five two five four Before I get the phones,

557
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: Rick Patino tonight Shannon plays Yukon for in the semifinals

558
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: of the Big East Tournament. They said it's gonna be

559
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: the most highly anticipated game at the Big East Tournament

560
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: in a decade. They're gonna have to play selled out

561
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: at the Garden. Here's what I want to know. I

562
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: want you to be honest. Yukon the number one team

563
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: in the country, or at least one of the I

564
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: don't know what they're ranked, but they probably the best team.

565
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: Rick Patino and Saint John's. They're probably in the tournament,

566
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: but they definitely would be if they won.

567
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: They're probably in any way. But are you gonna root

568
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: for Rick or are you gonna root for Yukon and

569
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: root against Rick?

570
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 5: I don't know how all of you feel. I'm actually

571
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 5: pulling for Rick Patino. I don't know if that's a

572
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 5: Are you on board?

573
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Let's see, let's take a poll.

574
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 3: I mean, he's are the most rabbit, I say the

575
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: fans at the SEC tournament are the most rabbit.

576
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: Of UK fans.

577
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: How many of you are pulling for Rick Patino at

578
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: Saint John's Raise your hand? How many of you want

579
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 3: to see Rick Patino lose at Saint John's. I would say, though,

580
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: that's like eighty five, fifteen or ninety ten.

581
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: Yes, does that surprise you?

582
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: It does, But that was a loud minority, by the way,

583
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 5: But they look like they were all in one family.

584
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, it does.

585
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 3: You know he he date sister? Is that what happened?

586
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: One of your all sisters or daughters? That's what happened.

587
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 3: I could there's no way you'd have that much animosity.

588
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 5: You know, if you go back just a few years

589
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 5: ago and you asked that same question, it's flipped. It's

590
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 5: eighty five to fifteen the other ways.

591
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 3: It is surprising how in a very short period of

592
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: time it seems like Rick has started to endear himself

593
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: and begin to Kentucky fans well.

594
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 7: And every interview he does, he always throws out, you know,

595
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 7: some flowery remarks about Kentucky and his days in Lexington.

596
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 7: I kind of want him to win because I want

597
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: to play him. I think they'll Perry Saint John's Hodawa.

598
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to play him, Are you crazy?

599
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: Though I love to beat him?

600
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: Look, you know what, hang on this second. You do

601
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: not want to play Rick? I mean, listen.

602
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: I hope he does well, but we can't play him

603
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: on the off chance we were to lose if we

604
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: would never.

605
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: Hear the end of there is. I am one hundred

606
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: percent Drew against playing Rick Patino, aren't you. He would

607
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: be so loose.

608
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 6: And free, talking trash and cow and I would understand

609
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 6: it because I I would you would feel so much

610
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 6: pressure in that situation.

611
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: I want to stay far away from that for years.

612
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: What happened in that Rick Patino versus cow is Cow

613
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: went in. Rick had to wait to the world on

614
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: him and Cow went in. He was looser in those

615
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: games than any other, and it was part of the

616
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 3: reason we always won.

617
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm like Drew.

618
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: I feel like if they played now, it would be

619
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: completely different, and I would not want that.

620
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: You're exactly right.

621
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: There is so much pressure this year, especially to get

622
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: at least out of the second round, right, and if

623
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 5: you play Patino's team Saint John's, that that's gonna be

624
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 5: the first or second round. Probably the first round if

625
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 5: they end up meeting, so you do not want to see.

626
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: Them in the game. I do.

627
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 7: All I'm hearing is you guys are scared to play Rick.

628
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 7: I'm hearing it's you guys are scared to play Patino.

629
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: He's right though, on the off chance that they did

630
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: get upset, the one guy you can't.

631
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: Lose, you would not want.

632
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: Like I know, there's a couple of people in your

633
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: life that you like, just don't that you used to

634
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: be close to, that.

635
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: You just don't like anymore.

636
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 3: You wouldn't want to have your most important like season

637
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 3: in ten years be up against them, would you.

638
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 7: Why are we scared to blame beat him, light it

639
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 7: up and beating all right?

640
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 6: I think we're scar It's just an unnecessary pressure exactly.

641
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 6: We don't need that drama in round one.

642
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: We've talked about this.

643
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 3: I think there is going to be more pressure on

644
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: this Kentucky basketball team in round one and two then

645
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: there's been in forever now. Once you get to Sweet sixteen,

646
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: I think it opens up a little bit. But you

647
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 3: take if we're a three seed and you take that

648
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 3: second round game to a six seed, I'm not sure

649
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: who the six seeds are but we're playing in Pittsburgh

650
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: Saturday night against X That's going to be drew one

651
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: of the most nerve racking games that Cal Perry has

652
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 3: ever had. I certainly don't want it to be with

653
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: Rick Patino standing there on the Sundlicks.

654
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying that earlier.

655
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 6: We don't need storylines, we don't need drama, we don't

656
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 6: need pressure. Give us a random team, directional school. Give

657
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 6: us Utah stass Man, then we'll get into the to

658
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 6: the meat.

659
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 2: Of the tracket.

660
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 3: Give me Utah State in Pittsburgh, and then let's just

661
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: move on and go to the next round.

662
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: Who's up next, court, court? Go ahead?

663
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 9: Hey man, how you doing? Uh yeah, I saw the

664
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 9: video y'all posted of Justin Edwards, I think practicing where

665
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 9: he was miked up.

666
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 7: Man.

667
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 9: He just appeared real loose, playing dancing, cutting up with

668
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 9: his teammates. So I think it's gonna be a big

669
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 9: Justin Edwards knight.

670
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 2: Heng on just second, hang on, just a second. On

671
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: the Justin Edwards point.

672
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: How many of you guys are proud of Justin Edwards

673
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: and how he's played this year.

674
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: I mean I will say to you, I will I genuinely, Ryan,

675
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean I was.

676
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: I didn't say bench him, but I was kind of

677
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: the opinion, man, we just got to quit relying on him.

678
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden he had like one

679
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: good game and now he's without question been one of

680
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: our top four or five players.

681
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 7: Dude, He's shooting the ball as good as Reading Reeves

682
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 7: and doing him right now.

683
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: He is a money from.

684
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 7: The three point line, and I think we're all pulling

685
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 7: for him. When we saw him on the bench and

686
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 7: had his head down and shoulders down getting discouraged.

687
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: But the col's credit. Cal kept the faith in him,

688
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: and now he's paying off.

689
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: That's one where Cal deserves total credit, YEP, because I

690
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: think if the fan base was honest, I think ninety

691
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: percent of us were like, stop playing Justin Edwards?

692
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: Why are we playing Justin Edwards? And he's stuck with him.

693
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: And I do think Drew Cal deserves all the credit

694
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: for that because it would have been very easy to

695
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: about mid January just go all right, we're just gonna

696
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 2: have to stop, and he didn't do it.

697
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 6: And I mean he's he had the perfect game that

698
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 6: was awesome. He's been knocking down shots, played well at Tennessee.

699
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 6: But it's not even his scoring box score defense. He

700
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 6: just looks like a completely different person. Does if you

701
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 6: were in Ropperena. I don't remember the oonent opponent, but

702
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 6: he took a three and hit the side of the backboard.

703
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 6: I thought he might just leave the arena. He was

704
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 6: so down they sent an assistant coach to run over

705
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 6: and lift him up. He was slouched, he looked broken.

706
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 6: Now he's the one that's pumping up the crowd, talking trash.

707
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 6: He is just so engaged now and it's so good

708
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 6: to see him breakthrough.

709
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: That shot you're talking about, that was the low point,

710
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: Like if he shot a three, hit the side of

711
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: the backboard and the rubbery in the crowd made an audible.

712
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: Noise like, oh my goodness, that's awful.

713
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, man, that might be just like

714
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: he can't do it, and I thought that was it.

715
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: I did too, And for him to bounce back from that,

716
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: he deserves and cow deserves a lot of credit.

717
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: All right, Well, yes, I mean he does. They do.

718
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Uh, what's what's the next? What was your second point?

719
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 9: Oh? My second point was you got to say, who

720
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 9: am I? Right now? This is the news of the sportscaster.

721
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 9: All Right, y'all, there's about nine much from now. We're

722
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 9: gonna have a lot of children in the Commonwealth with

723
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 9: the first.

724
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: Name read, Am I supposed to know? Was that an impersonation?

725
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 9: That's Jimmy dice Man, that guy he said, He said

726
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 9: it like two or three times.

727
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like a lot of people have said that.

728
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate to call the reality is it's also probably

729
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: true maybe a couple of Let me ask you a question, Ryan,

730
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been I've been obviously a fan for

731
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: my entire life. There's a lot of people here who've

732
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: been fans longer than me. But you covered the team.

733
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: Who is there anybody that's played at Kentucky since you

734
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: when'd you start covering him ninety six? Since ninety six

735
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: that you think has been a bigger beloved star than

736
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: Reed Shepherd.

737
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 7: Nicole Because the guys that would come to mind were

738
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 7: before I got here, Rex and Richie Farmer. Read is

739
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: just the fact that he's one of us. He loves

740
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 7: that he he like you said, he used to come

741
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 7: to this show. They post pictures of him with Coach

742
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 7: cal and meeting DeMarcus Cousins, that's why he signs every

743
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 7: autograph because he was one of those kids that used

744
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 7: to get autographs when he was growing up.

745
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean that's like, I bring up this kid right

746
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: here in the hat, but literally, and I mean this

747
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: like old are you?

748
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: Eleven?

749
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: So seven eight years ago? Dan Shepard was you. They

750
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 3: didn't make hats like that back then, but I mean

751
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 3: this Reed Shepherd was you. He sat here in the crowd.

752
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: His dad brought him to a show. If you all

753
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: were here, you may even remember he sat here at

754
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: the time. And I remember, I think somewhere floating around.

755
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: I think he took a picture with us, and then

756
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: there was a period of time that we didn't see

757
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: him for a while, but he was here, And I

758
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: think that is something like I don't know that that

759
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: will ever happen again.

760
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: I mean I really don't. I mean, I know Travis

761
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: Perry's coming next year.

762
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: He's a different kind of player, like he's I hope

763
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: he does well, but he's not gonna be the number

764
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: one picking the draft. But the fact a kid who

765
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 3: literally was going to UK radio shows wearing the uniform

766
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: and then now could lead the team on a championship

767
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: run and be the number one pick. That's like the

768
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: stuff drew of a movie. Like it really is. It's

769
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: like the stuff of a movie, and it's unbelievable.

770
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

771
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 6: He grew up with like the picture of the little

772
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 6: boy with his head on the basketball on his wall,

773
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 6: dream with the dreaming of a Kentucky player.

774
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: Then he just lived it.

775
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 6: And that's not even considering excuse me, his parents, I

776
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 6: mean a couple of legends themselves. I mean it's almost

777
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 6: like his parents both played here, you know. I mean

778
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 6: that's crazy to sitting down to like create a player.

779
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 6: I think we would create read. It's like if you

780
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 6: just gave me a blank canvas, I would.

781
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: Draw reach out thirteenth Region, like like Shannon, if you

782
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: made it up, people would think you were lying, Like

783
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: it would be a Disney movie and people would go, well,

784
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: that's not really believable.

785
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 5: Just the perfect story growing up in Kentucky, dreaming of

786
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 5: playing at Kentucky, now being one of the top players,

787
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 5: being the projected number.

788
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: One draft pick.

789
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 5: I mean, it is uh, unbelievable, like where he is

790
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: where he was to where he is now.

791
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: It really is.

792
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: Hey, if you're tired of buy an expensive sunglasses, Ryan

793
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: only to lose or break them.

794
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 2: How about shady rain.

795
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: Tell me about shad here and the independent American owned

796
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: company started right well, not here, but right over there

797
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: in Kentucky. If you lose or break your shades, they'll

798
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: replace him, no questions asked. They got all the best styles,

799
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: all the best selecttions. It's Shadyrays dot com. You can

800
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: get them online, use a co KSR fifty percent off

801
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: two or more pairs. It's Shady Rays plus. They got

802
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: a location in Lexington and one in Louisville. It's Shady

803
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: Rays dot Com. We'll take a break and be right

804
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: back here at ten roof. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

805
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: Water back here, Kentucky Sports Radio. All right, come on,

806
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: those of you in the middle, those of you in

807
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: the middle and in the back, they can't do all

808
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: the work for you coming into break. Let me try

809
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: that again. Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. There we go,

810
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: much better, much better, you all making these folks here

811
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 3: in the front carry everything, and you just sitting in

812
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 3: the back getting drinking.

813
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: That's not that's right, fair drinking at eight o'clock in

814
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: the morning.

815
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 3: I will say, Tin Roof has gotta be happy when

816
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: the Kentucky fans come to the town. I don't think

817
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: I don't think they see this on a Thursday morning

818
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 3: or Friday morning very often. Thank you, by the way

819
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: to ten Roof for hosting us. Some scheduling here, all right,

820
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: so we we will do the pregame show the games

821
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: at seven. We'll do the pregame show at four thirty

822
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: Eastern for those of you in Nashville, that's three point

823
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: thirty Nashville time. I'm not sure where we're doing that,

824
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: but it won't be in front of a crowd the game.

825
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: If you are going to the game in Nashville, go

826
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: to the game. If you're not, I think this place

827
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: will have a great atmosphere. And then our other partner,

828
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: DraftKings down the road on Second Street, will have a

829
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: great atmosphere as well.

830
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: You could go to either of those the postgame show.

831
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 3: If we win, I'll probably find a place to do

832
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: it and I'll tweet out where we are where we are.

833
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 3: If we lose, I'll probably go to the hotel and

834
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: just be depressed and do it there. If you're in

835
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: Lexington and you want to watch the game around Lexington

836
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: at Ks Bar, get there early games at seven.

837
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: I would say.

838
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 3: You know, people always ask me what time to get there,

839
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: and I feel bad because I'll say, get there thirty

840
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 3: minutes before and it'll be full.

841
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: No go, I thought you told me there thirty bits

842
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: for I don't know.

843
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: I'll just say to you the farther we go in

844
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 3: the tournament, the earlier I would get there.

845
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: Amen.

846
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: But I do have a request for those few that

847
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: cast bar. If you get there early. That doesn't mean

848
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: just sit there for two and a half hours and

849
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: don't buy anything.

850
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: I love you all, but you know who you are.

851
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: Make sure the earlier get you get there, you actually

852
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: buy things, especially for our servers because they work on

853
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: tips and so Drew, just be courteous to people.

854
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 2: If you're coming and taking the table for a period.

855
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's all about the server, their section, that's their

856
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 6: office for the day and they take home when every game.

857
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: Make it those tables, especially like tonight and tomorrow when

858
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: the Girls Sweet sixteen is in town and we have

859
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: a lot of people.

860
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: Just do that. But tomorrow night it'll be all Kentucky.

861
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 2: Some bad news.

862
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Transylvania lost last night to NYU.

863
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: They cheated.

864
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: They only won by twenty three. So they cheated the

865
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: entire game. We watch some of it. The NYU team,

866
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how that's a Division three team. They

867
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 3: were bigger, faster, That's what happens when you have twenty

868
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 3: nine thousand students versus one thousand students.

869
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: But still they won the national championship last year, Final

870
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: four this year.

871
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 3: Give a round of applause my alma monor at Transylvania run.

872
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 7: This two year run they've been on has been unbelievable.

873
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 7: Undefeated until last night for two straight years. They deserve

874
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 7: a lot of credit for what they've done.

875
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 3: Feels like NYU is too big though, both as a

876
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: school and as players to be.

877
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: In Division three. Very NYU of them, they should be,

878
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 2: They should be a shade of themselves. Yeah, but a

879
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: great run to your run, great run on and uh,

880
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: you know Shandon.

881
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 3: I don't know who UK's gonna hire to their women's coach,

882
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: I've heard. I've actually been surprised how many people down

883
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: here have given me opinions. It seems like when it

884
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: comes to Matthew Mitchell, there are two opinions, either definitely

885
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 3: hiring or definitely don't like.

886
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: People don't have like mixed opinions.

887
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they either say the job already should be his

888
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: or going a new It's weird because I'm kinda like,

889
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

890
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: I could see an argument for either way.

891
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: But when I talk to fans, especially fans of the

892
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 3: women's basketball program, like people who follow it, they are

893
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: intense either yes or no.

894
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

895
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 5: I'm kind of in the middle. I can see the

896
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 5: good and bad, the pros and cons of hiring him.

897
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 5: I mean, on one side, we do know that he

898
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 5: can win here.

899
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: He's one.

900
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's one here, and he knows the culture here

901
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 5: at Kentucky. But does Mitch Barnhart want to go in

902
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 5: a different direction and get somebody younger and up and coming.

903
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 4: It's all gonna come down to that.

904
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: I think there are two things that have been proven

905
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 3: I think pretty much correct over the years. Ay, it

906
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: almost always is a disaster when you hire an alumnus

907
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: with no coaching experience to be your head coach. Patrick Ewing,

908
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: Clyde Drexler, you know, Jwan Howard, Kenny Payne.

909
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: Now you got.

910
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: Hubert Davis and John Shire. We'll see what happens with

911
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 3: those guys. I think the jury is still out, but

912
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: for the most part, his disaster the second thing drew.

913
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: It's almost always a disaster when you hire somebody for

914
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: a second time. The second time around almost never works.

915
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: Bobby Petrino, Bill Snyder, and there are other examples. So

916
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: you got that history to deal with when you're deciding

917
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: whether to do it.

918
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, if he wasn't interested or on the list, I

919
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 6: would certainly want someone young and tried to build something

920
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 6: you could sustain for a long time. But with his history,

921
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 6: I mean, we know the fans love him. His career

922
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 6: was kind of up and down with their results, but

923
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 6: you know kind of what you're getting. If you get

924
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 6: an unknown, it could be awful. You know, he's not

925
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 6: just gonna be terrible. He's got a higher floor than

926
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 6: a lot of them because he's already built the built

927
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 6: up the good will with the fan base.

928
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: Our opinions, though, are less informed than the guy standing

929
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: next to me who is good friends with Matthew Mitchell.

930
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 3: So let's just go Scooper scuttle Putt. Is he gonna

931
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: be the next coach at UK women's team?

932
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 7: I can tell you I honestly have no idea.

933
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: No, he's oh, you know so oh I don't do

934
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 3: you want to say why you don't have any.

935
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 7: Idea or I'm not pressuring even trying to get him

936
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 7: to tell me something because then I felt like I

937
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: would let it slip on this show.

938
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 4: That's exactly what we need.

939
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 2: To be fair.
