Speaker 1: Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2: It is the ks Are Pretty Show live in Nashville, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: at ten roof on Broadway.
Speaker 1: That's right. The crowd is already here.
Speaker 2: They are ready to go, and uh you give us
Speaker 2: a call the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line eight five
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It's Thursday,
Speaker 2: March thirteenth. It's day number two of the SEC Tournament.
Speaker 2: There was already a big long line outside of ten roof.
Speaker 2: One person got here at four a m.
Speaker 1: Let's give it up with this guy right here, Tyler Tyler.
Speaker 2: That's right, Tyler Scotts, who got here at four o'clock
Speaker 2: this morning.
Speaker 3: Four o'clock.
Speaker 2: That's right, Shannon the dude. Ryan Lemon sitting in for
Speaker 2: Billy Rutledge. Thanks for being here this morning. Ryan, How
Speaker 2: are you doing? You feeling good?
Speaker 3: I'm doing well. I woke up, grabbed my phone and
Speaker 3: my buddy Myron had sent me a picture of the
Speaker 3: line waiting to get in, and he was here at
Speaker 3: six point thirty. You people are crazy. You realize the
Speaker 3: game's not untill like nine thirty ten o'clock tonight, right.
Speaker 2: I just hope that all these people are ready to
Speaker 2: go because we're gonna need Bridge Stone Arena to be
Speaker 2: really loud tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been out.
Speaker 2: I think a long time since we've had the level
Speaker 2: of excitement that we have for this SEC tournament. I
Speaker 2: said yesterday on the show, I think before COVID, you know,
Speaker 2: but I think with Mark Pope the new team, I
Speaker 2: think there's a new level of excitement that maybe matches
Speaker 2: what we had, you know, prior to COVID, maybe twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: You know, it was the last time that they won
Speaker 2: the tournament twenty twenty two, last time since they won
Speaker 2: a game in the tournament.
Speaker 1: Let that sink in for a second.
Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen they last won a game here in Nashville
Speaker 3: in this tournament. Wait that they went it in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: I think they got beaten the second round Segon around
Speaker 3: never mind, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, it's basically time for Kentucky to take back
Speaker 2: their tournament, and I think it starts right here today
Speaker 2: in Nashville. You can give us a call eight five
Speaker 2: nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. That's the
Speaker 2: Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. Ksrpre show is always being
Speaker 2: brought to you by Italics, fine Italian downing in Lexington
Speaker 2: and you could be our whiskey thief call of the day.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: When Mark Pope was hired here, the thing he kept
Speaker 2: saying was I understand the assignment. Yes, and a big
Speaker 2: part of the assignment is of course winning the national championship,
Speaker 2: but also but putting meeting behind the SEC Tournament, which
Speaker 2: we've heard for years from our prior coach, the SEC
Speaker 2: tournament doesn't mean anything. But I think that he is
Speaker 2: here ready to win this tournament.
Speaker 1: He's not.
Speaker 2: You know, he even said We're not coming down here
Speaker 2: to lose. We're coming down here to win the tournament.
Speaker 2: That's the goal.
Speaker 3: You know, for so many years you could have called
Speaker 3: the SEC Tournament the UK Invitational because we came down
Speaker 3: here and just kicked everybody's ass. I mean, we won
Speaker 3: the tournament every single year. It was our tournament. And
Speaker 3: then the last six seven years that can we've kind
Speaker 3: of strayed away from that, and a lot of it
Speaker 3: I think was because Kyle didn't put a lot of
Speaker 3: emphasis on it. But man, these fans, this is, like
Speaker 3: we've said before, this is a different fan base that
Speaker 3: come to the SEC Tournament. These are folks who take
Speaker 3: a week's vacation to get him down here, and they
Speaker 3: save up all year and make a vacation out of it.
Speaker 3: So it means something to these people, and they're starving
Speaker 3: for some wins down here, and I think they finally
Speaker 3: get it tonight.
Speaker 2: Not to take anything away from the crowd at rapp Arena,
Speaker 2: because I think the crowd this year for home games
Speaker 2: is act been really good. And again I think a
Speaker 2: lot of that is just the excitement of Mark popeing
Speaker 2: and the coach and the new team. But I think that,
Speaker 2: you know, the SEC Tournament is the best of the
Speaker 2: best when it comes to this fan base. You know,
Speaker 2: people come down here, they're ready to party, and they're
Speaker 2: allowed and they take over Bridgestone Arena.
Speaker 1: That game tonight is going to be a home game.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's usually the case when Kentucky plays
Speaker 2: in Nashville. The crowds eighty eighty five percent Kentucky fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we walked around a little bit last night. There
Speaker 3: was a little blue but it'll really pick up tonight.
Speaker 3: The big blue wave will kind of roll in. And
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people waited until today to
Speaker 3: come down here since they don't play until late tonight,
Speaker 3: so we'll see a big wave of people roll in
Speaker 3: as the day goes on.
Speaker 2: So we took a little trip up and down Broadway
Speaker 2: last night. What did you think, the same old Nashville.
Speaker 3: Right, Every honky tonk's got a live man playing in it,
Speaker 3: and a lot of them are banging it out. So,
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, right here on this stage,
Speaker 3: Alice Blue Gowns be banging it out this afternoon.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, I'm gonna be thank you. I
Speaker 2: was just thinking, I'm gonna be up on this stage
Speaker 2: a lot today. So three hours with KSR and then
Speaker 2: four four hours, four hour show. We did it last year.
Speaker 3: Morgan's gonna put you on the payroll. You're up here
Speaker 3: so much, that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm gonna be up on this stage a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be exhausted by the time we tip off tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to make it to the end of
Speaker 2: the game tonight. That's my goal.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna like after a KSR is over, go
Speaker 3: take a little nap or a little rest before you
Speaker 3: come back here to perform for four hours. I'd have
Speaker 3: to then the game right after your show's over.
Speaker 2: I'd have to take an old man nap, you know,
Speaker 2: for an hour, recharge the battery, and then come back
Speaker 2: up here and.
Speaker 1: Be ready to go. But that's yeah.
Speaker 2: So that's at four thirty today and we'll be playing
Speaker 2: all the way U until tip off. Of course, the
Speaker 2: Cat tonight take on Oklahoma at eight thirty. Before we
Speaker 2: get into that, I want to talk about yesterday's games.
Speaker 2: We went to Bridgestone Arena for my first time being credential.
Speaker 3: Yeah, shit, got his credential. How about that? Right, got
Speaker 3: his first credential.
Speaker 2: So and by the way, for anybody wondering, they did
Speaker 2: use the second headshot that I sent of me from OVW,
Speaker 2: so it's it's me and a gold Blink doubt jacket.
Speaker 2: That is my headshot that actually got approved for the
Speaker 2: SEC tournament.
Speaker 1: But we went yesterday. We were sitting there.
Speaker 2: When you walk in, by the way, they don't tell
Speaker 2: you where to go, like they don't tell you, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is where you're supposed to sit. Any other time
Speaker 2: I've been credential to a game, you have like an
Speaker 2: assigned seat and they say, okay, this is.
Speaker 1: This is where you're going to be sitting for the week.
Speaker 2: We go in yesterday and there it was just anarchy,
Speaker 2: like there was no direction or anything. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, back when we walked through, I thought we
Speaker 2: were gonna run out with the VANDID basketball team.
Speaker 1: We were like in like the time.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm pretty sure we should not be standing
Speaker 2: here right now, Like I don't think we're supposed to
Speaker 2: be here, But nobody was saying anything. Security was really
Speaker 2: relaxed behind the scenes. But then when we went out
Speaker 2: to sit and watch the game, all a media row,
Speaker 2: all the seats were taken, so I go, well, where
Speaker 2: do we sit?
Speaker 1: And you said, well, this is the overflow section over here.
Speaker 1: So we sat down.
Speaker 2: Yep, everything was cool, and then about ten fifteen minutes later,
Speaker 2: a security comes up and says to Mario, you're not
Speaker 2: supposed to be here in this section. He had a
Speaker 2: red lanyard for some reason. All the rest of us
Speaker 2: had a green lanyard. Yeah, so that started the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Somebody somebody we know and what.
Speaker 2: Somebody got a little upset and there was a twenty
Speaker 2: thirty minute argument that was going on behind us.
Speaker 1: I told Mario just sit here, We're good.
Speaker 2: That particular person left, and then about ten fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: later after that, another security guard comes over and says,
Speaker 2: you guys can't sit here, And this time he's coming
Speaker 2: after me, telling me I can't sit there, and I'm going, well,
Speaker 2: I've got a credential that says I can. He goes,
Speaker 2: you're in the wrong section. I said, okay, well, then
Speaker 2: point me to the right section where I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 2: He goes, well, you need to go talk to the
Speaker 2: person who gave you the credential for that.
Speaker 1: So I go, okay.
Speaker 2: So you're telling me I can't sit here, but you
Speaker 2: don't know where I'm supposed to go sit. So this
Speaker 2: goes on for another ten to fifteen minutes, and he
Speaker 2: threatens to call the cops at this.
Speaker 3: Point, and what was your line?
Speaker 2: Going right ahead, I'm not moving. I'm sitting here and
Speaker 2: watching this game in case I did. And eventually Mario
Speaker 2: I think, got.
Speaker 1: Up and left. He had enough.
Speaker 2: But I just sat there and they didn't come back
Speaker 2: anymore and bother me. But I'm telling you, like they
Speaker 2: they got to get that thing figured out over there
Speaker 2: at the arena, because if they don't, they're gonna have
Speaker 2: more people there today, and they don't have enough seats.
Speaker 2: They got more people who were credentialed, then they have
Speaker 2: seats for people to sit in. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen today, but I think that they're going
Speaker 2: to have a problem if they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't figure that out soon.
Speaker 3: Didn't one of you guys tell the security guy said, hey,
Speaker 3: you kick us out.
Speaker 2: You got to kick all of us out. We all
Speaker 2: have the same credential. So that was the other thing.
Speaker 2: Because he said, you don't have a number two on
Speaker 2: your credential. I go, I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2: He goes, you gotta have a number two on your
Speaker 2: credential to sit here. I look over there are kids
Speaker 2: who have like a hello, my name is sticker that
Speaker 2: says spectator on it, and they were allowed to sit there.
Speaker 2: So I wasn't moving, So I told the guy, you're right.
Speaker 2: It was probably one hundred seats there that were that
Speaker 2: were you know, on that whole action, maybe half of
Speaker 2: them were full, like, so people weren't like fighting over seats,
Speaker 2: you know, to sit there to watch.
Speaker 1: The Vandy game.
Speaker 2: Right, So I looked around and I saw that nobody
Speaker 2: else had any of the credentials either. I said, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm not going anywhere until you kick all
Speaker 2: these people out, and they never came back.
Speaker 1: I came ever came back. So I'm just telling you
Speaker 1: it's not all what.
Speaker 2: It's cracked up to be being credentialed, apparently at the
Speaker 2: SEC Tournament, because I was not not too impressed with
Speaker 2: my first day. Basically, I came in, had an argument
Speaker 2: with security for about twenty minutes, watch bandy get their
Speaker 2: butt kicked. I did have a good dinner before I left,
Speaker 2: and then got out of the arena. That that was
Speaker 2: my first day being credentialed at the SEC Tournament.
Speaker 3: I felt sorry for you. Were so excited, your face
Speaker 3: lit up and you got your credential. You're getting to
Speaker 3: sit in a good seat to watch the Vanderbilt Commonorees,
Speaker 3: one of your favorite teams play, and it all went
Speaker 3: south after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so God speaking to anybody credential trying to trying
Speaker 2: to find a seat over there later on today, So
Speaker 2: let's talk about some of the results from yesterday. Arkansas
Speaker 2: beat South Carolina.
Speaker 3: First of Arkansas was up twenty the second nearly blew
Speaker 3: apparently nearly blew a twenty point lead, which so when
Speaker 3: that had been a shame if that had happened. I
Speaker 3: didn't understand that what they were doing at the end
Speaker 3: of the game, because Kyl said, you know, they were
Speaker 3: up by three, right, Arkansas's up three, two and a
Speaker 3: half seconds to go, Arkansas's got one free throw, and
Speaker 3: Kyl was trying to tell the Arkansas player to miss
Speaker 3: it on purpose. Yeah he did.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I'm not a coach, but I don't
Speaker 1: understand that.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you rather make the shot, be up by four
Speaker 2: with two and a half seconds and have to endbound
Speaker 2: the ball and at that point the game is over
Speaker 2: versus intentionally miss the free throw. You're up three two
Speaker 2: and a half seconds to go, they still have time
Speaker 2: to get a half court shot off and go to overtime.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that. He tried to explain it afterwards.
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 2: I thought he was even more confusing me too. I
Speaker 2: didn't understand any of that. Can you speak any logic
Speaker 2: into what they were trying to do?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 3: No, you hit the free throw. It's a four point game,
Speaker 3: game over with two and a half seconds left. Now,
Speaker 3: if it was just a two point game, maybe you
Speaker 3: want to miss that free throw too, because then they
Speaker 3: have to throw one the full length of the court
Speaker 3: to try to hit a three pointer. But I heard
Speaker 3: these explanation too, it didn't make much sense to me.
Speaker 2: Then, uh so Texas beat Van dis Mississippi State, I
Speaker 2: mean that was never a game over LSU. And then
Speaker 2: Oklahoma of course beat Georgia. Tonight eight thirty, the Cats
Speaker 2: take on Oklahoma. Two weeks ago they played in Norman.
Speaker 2: It was a close game. Oh take a Ohway just
Speaker 2: completely took over there at the end of the game.
Speaker 2: How are we feeling about the game tonight? Are you
Speaker 2: feeling good about it? Do you think it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a blowout? Do you think it's gonna be close? What's
Speaker 2: your confidence level?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it didn't take O take Ohway to
Speaker 3: do a Lebron James act and score eighteen to the
Speaker 3: last nineteen points to win that game. Oklahoma, they've got
Speaker 3: some scores, man, They got four or five guys. They
Speaker 3: can shoot the basketball. They can put up a lot
Speaker 3: of points. But that's the way we like to play.
Speaker 3: Ye So if I had my choice of the two,
Speaker 3: Oklahoma or Georgia, I probably would have picked Oklahoma because
Speaker 3: they played we like to play. Georgia kind of plays physical,
Speaker 3: tries to get in there with you. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: we match up pretty good with Oklahoma. We just saw
Speaker 3: that we played them two weeks ago and beat them
Speaker 3: home floor.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that was a very physical game too.
Speaker 2: When they played Oklahoma, you know, it got chippy. Brandon
Speaker 2: Garrison luckily he didn't get a technical at the end
Speaker 2: of that game, had a beer can thrown at him
Speaker 2: at the end. So I think that maybe it's going
Speaker 2: to be a chippy game tonight.
Speaker 3: That's a good storyline about the Brandon Garrison effect, you know,
Speaker 3: because he played, he played well, you know, he's from Oklahoma,
Speaker 3: the state of Oklahoma, right, so that means a lot
Speaker 3: to him now on this game, and he kind of lost.
Speaker 3: He's cool there at the end, So we'll see how
Speaker 3: he performs today.
Speaker 2: Speaking of beer cans, I don't think anybody's going to
Speaker 2: be getting too drunk at the arena tonight. Did you
Speaker 2: see they are now selling beer to the general public,
Speaker 2: which is cool.
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. That's a good change that they made.
Speaker 2: But a premium large beer at the arena is going
Speaker 2: to set you back seventeen dollars and fifty cents. Ryan,
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I think that's the most expensive beer
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. I remember going to Lallapulooza many many
Speaker 2: years ago and I saw a beer for like fourteen dollars,
Speaker 2: and I'm going that is outrageous. Now fast forward, I
Speaker 2: guess you know fifteen years it's now seventeen fifty for
Speaker 2: a beer. So I would say, if you're gonna drink,
Speaker 2: maybe do all your pregame drinking here at here brew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come here to ten roof thirst, get it out
Speaker 3: of the world.
Speaker 2: I do think it's gonna be a drunk crowd, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, with it being a late game taking on
Speaker 2: you know, Oklahoma, a team that you want to beat,
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a really drunk crowd there tonight.
Speaker 2: We know our fan base, our fan base is here
Speaker 2: to win and to have a good time. So we
Speaker 2: got all afternoon to have a good time, watch your concert,
Speaker 2: and then go to the game. I just hope they
Speaker 2: can make it until midnight, because this game is gonna
Speaker 2: last until about midnight tonight. Eight five nine two twenty
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. We're gonna take our first break and
Speaker 2: take some of your phone calls. We'll be right back
Speaker 2: live from Nashville. We're here at ten Roof on Broadway.
Speaker 2: It is the KSR Pre Show.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys are sounding great out there. We're
Speaker 2: live at ten Roof.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Here's the great thing. This is one of my favorite
Speaker 2: shows that we do. All your is probably the favorite show.
Speaker 2: I agree, because you get here and like I said,
Speaker 2: you have people that were lined up at four o'clock
Speaker 2: in the morning to get in. There's an excitement that
Speaker 2: I think is unmatched for any other event that we
Speaker 2: have or any other game that we have all year long.
Speaker 2: And then you got, of course people drinking here at
Speaker 2: seven o'clock local time. So it's it's always a good
Speaker 2: good time here at ten Roue.
Speaker 3: That's why I told my man over here from Radcliffe,
Speaker 3: I said, pace yourself. It's a long day. I don't
Speaker 3: know what he's all your Ratcliff and Wildcat. I heard that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I guess if you don't start in
Speaker 2: the morning, you can't drink all day, right, all right,
Speaker 2: So let's uh, let's talk a little Draftking stuff here
Speaker 2: because we've got to pick the games for later on today.
Speaker 2: Before we get to that, let me tell you Draftking
Speaker 2: sportsbook promo code ks are bet five dollars, get one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty and bonus bets and you can do
Speaker 2: same game parlays, live betting, player props and so much
Speaker 2: boards easy and fast payoffs that you get with DraftKings
Speaker 2: later on today, Arkansas and Old Miss Arkansas is a
Speaker 2: four and a half dog, four and a half point
Speaker 2: dog against Ole Miss.
Speaker 3: Who do you get I'm picking Ole Miss? Come on, man, yeah, yeah, Cal,
Speaker 3: We've seen this story. We see how this goes. Sometimes.
Speaker 3: My last vision of Cal and at this tournament until
Speaker 3: yesterday was him walking off the court and the lady
Speaker 3: hanging over the railing. Is this the gold standard? Cow?
Speaker 3: Is this the gold standard? That they just lost to
Speaker 3: Texas A and M.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Texas A and M.
Speaker 2: Is the battle of Texas A and M versus Texas
Speaker 2: later today at two thirty and Texas A and M
Speaker 2: is a six and a half point favorite.
Speaker 3: There might be a fight in this game. I'm just
Speaker 3: telling you, just be ready. There may be a fight
Speaker 3: this this These two teams obviously don't like each other
Speaker 3: very well. But Texas A and M they're good wayde
Speaker 3: Taylor is on fire right now.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Texas, you know, I noticed there was not
Speaker 2: one student that showed up in the student section well
Speaker 2: Texas or Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Not one.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to mean more like you just got added
Speaker 2: to the SEC and you can't even Not even one
Speaker 2: student from Texas or Oklahoma was excited enough about the
Speaker 2: SEC tournament to show up for their game.
Speaker 1: Not one.
Speaker 3: That's why I feel sorry for him today, because it'll
Speaker 3: be all blue. It'll be ninety five percent blue. No
Speaker 3: Oklahoma students in that section.
Speaker 2: Mississippi State and Missouri. Missouri is a three and a
Speaker 2: half point favorite.
Speaker 3: This is a good game. This is a really good game.
Speaker 3: Mississippi State looked awesome last night. Josh Ubbard was on fire,
Speaker 3: so that could be the best game of the day.
Speaker 2: And of course Kentucky tonight Oklahoma. Kentucky is a six
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite. I think that feels about right.
Speaker 2: Cats are gonna cover right, Come on, I think so.
Speaker 2: You think six and a half is about right for Kentucky.
Speaker 3: That's a good number. That's probably what I predicted something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: Uh so anyway, DraftKings the Crown of Yours. Gambling problem
Speaker 2: Call one eight hundred Gambler eighteen plus Kentucky only. Eligibuddy
Speaker 2: restrictions apply new customers only. Votus bets expire one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty eight hours after issuance. Four additional terms are
Speaker 2: responsible gaming resources see dk MG, dot co, slash audio.
Speaker 2: You can give us a call at eight five to
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Who do
Speaker 2: you think has to play good for the cast tonight?
Speaker 2: I mean we always say Kobe Brea. Is it as
Speaker 2: simple as if Kobe Brea has a big game, Kentucky wins.
Speaker 3: Doesn't it seem like that's the case. If he comes out,
Speaker 3: he's hitting shots, they're just so much better, so much
Speaker 3: more dangerous. You know, you get another big game from Otega,
Speaker 3: That's what's gonna take one of those two guys that
Speaker 3: got to have a big monster game. I believe, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh way, last game essentially put the team
Speaker 2: on his back and carried them to that crazy I mean.
Speaker 3: He was even the last second shot he hit, He's
Speaker 3: up in the air, twisting kind of over his head.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: And Brandon Garrison had double digits. Those were the only
Speaker 2: two Cats to score in double digits in that last game.
Speaker 2: So I think that you got to have more contribution
Speaker 2: from obviously Andrew Carr Amari Williams. Those two guys I
Speaker 2: think are going to be big for Kentucky to win tonight.
Speaker 2: But you can't just rely on otega Oway because as
Speaker 2: great as he has been, as many games as he
Speaker 2: has scored, you know, in double digits except for two
Speaker 2: all year long, you can't have one of those games
Speaker 2: where you know, Oway doesn't at you fifteen points, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then you're relying on everybody else to pick up
Speaker 2: the slack. If I'm Oklahoma, I'm just gonna lock in
Speaker 2: on O Way and go We're not gonna let that
Speaker 2: guy beat us, which is.
Speaker 3: What happened last time. Yeah, he beat him. You know
Speaker 3: they got Oklahoma's got that Jeremiah Fears freshman. He's awesome.
Speaker 3: But now Lamont Butler's healthy bringing on. I feel good
Speaker 3: about that. But they've got three or four guys, like
Speaker 3: I said on the earlier on the premier, that can
Speaker 3: really shoot the basketball. So this maybe another game where
Speaker 3: Colin Chandler plays a lot just because of his defense
Speaker 3: on the perimeter.
Speaker 1: He's been great.
Speaker 2: By the way, Hey, I look at Colin Chandler as
Speaker 2: just kind of like found money because I did not
Speaker 2: expect anything out of Colin Chandler. I didn't know that
Speaker 2: he would really get any playing time. But because of
Speaker 2: injuries and because of the season the way it's played out,
Speaker 2: he's sort of been forced to play extra minutes, and
Speaker 2: he's been really great off the bench.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Found Money, I saw you got some more
Speaker 3: foreign currency mailed to you this past week.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's still happening.
Speaker 3: I mean, dude, webs though one mentioned like five years ago,
Speaker 3: and you're still getting money mailed to you.
Speaker 2: It's the longest practical joke I think that I've ever
Speaker 2: heard of. I mean, yeah, it's been going on for
Speaker 2: five straight years now, at least, i'd say once every
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. I'm still getting people send it for money,
Speaker 2: and it's not from people in Kentucky. Like you can
Speaker 2: look at the envelope, you see where it came from,
Speaker 2: uh DC. I think the last one came from and
Speaker 2: then another one came from Arizona. So I don't know
Speaker 2: why people continue to send me foreign money.
Speaker 3: Just keeps the show.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want.
Speaker 2: Your foreign money, but that people continue to send it anyway,
Speaker 2: which is strange because you move and you think that
Speaker 2: you know your your address isn't going to be public.
Speaker 2: You've moved, and you're still getting still found it that anyway.
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Mark Pope. First of all, you
Speaker 2: know he's putting an emphasis on winning the SEC tournament.
Speaker 2: What I asked Billy this a couple of days ago,
Speaker 2: what grade would you give Mark Pope after the regular
Speaker 2: season and the job that he's done so far?
Speaker 3: I would probably give him an A minus. I feel
Speaker 3: like I can't give him an A because there were
Speaker 3: some blips in the season. You know, they shouldn't have
Speaker 3: lost to Ohio State, they shouldn't have lost to Georgia,
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have lost to Texas. I mean there's little
Speaker 3: couple little bits shouldn't have lost Arkansas, should have lost
Speaker 3: to Arkansas.
Speaker 2: So I give him an A minus. Okay, See, I'm
Speaker 2: still saying that he gets a solid A. I think
Speaker 2: just considering the injuries that he's dealt with all season long,
Speaker 2: considering the fact that the SEC is the best conference
Speaker 2: that we've seen in our lifetime, and considering that it's
Speaker 2: basically a group that he threw together in two to
Speaker 2: three weeks, I don't know how you can give him
Speaker 2: anything other than that. I mean, if he had a
Speaker 2: completely healthy team and lost some of those games, okay,
Speaker 2: I could see, you know, maybe less than an A.
Speaker 2: But considering what he has done and the obstacles that
Speaker 2: he's sort of had to overcome, I think that he's
Speaker 2: done a terrific job so far.
Speaker 3: You know, going into the season, we all said the
Speaker 3: one game he has to win is Arkansas at home.
Speaker 3: You know, didn't happen. You know, I think if you
Speaker 3: get Arkansas again, you beat him. But then on that
Speaker 3: day you didn't. So I think that's why I got
Speaker 3: to give him an A minus.
Speaker 2: And I mean also, I mean the first year we
Speaker 2: talked about what would the SEC record be, I think
Speaker 2: I think I picked eleven wins. I think that's all
Speaker 2: I picked. But I mean they were only one off
Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, So I think overall, a pretty good job. Now,
Speaker 2: he was asked about one of his favorite SEC Tournament
Speaker 2: moments as a player, and I remember this game back
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety five of the SEC Tournament when they
Speaker 2: played Arkansas. They were down by I think it was
Speaker 2: nineteen twenty points something like that, came all the way back,
Speaker 2: forced the game to go into overtime, then got down
Speaker 2: by eight points in overtime.
Speaker 1: It still came back and won that game. Do you
Speaker 1: remember that game?
Speaker 3: Was that the game where Corey Price was Corey? Is
Speaker 3: that the game that Rodrick Rhodes missed the free throws? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I thought it was. And then Anthony Epps and Tony
Speaker 3: del Tony Delk came he hit the free throws. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was that game. That's what That's what My lasting
Speaker 3: memory of Rodrick Rhodes is him crying on the bench
Speaker 3: after he missed a couple of free throws.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's uh. I can remember that game
Speaker 1: as a kid.
Speaker 2: I think I was like twelve, Yeah, and sitting there
Speaker 2: watch going I know that they're going to come back.
Speaker 2: Because Kentucky back in the nineties absolutely owned the SEC tournament.
Speaker 2: It was the Kentucky in votash invitation was Kentucky and
Speaker 2: everybody else.
Speaker 3: And the biggest rivalry in the conference was Kentucky and
Speaker 3: Arkansas there during the mid nineties.
Speaker 2: It has been though, pretty amazing to watch the SEC
Speaker 2: and how much stronger it has gotten over the last
Speaker 2: several years as well. I mean a lot of great
Speaker 2: coaches coming in, great talent as well. You know, somebody
Speaker 2: was asking, who would you compare this team to this
Speaker 2: year from other teams. I don't know that you really
Speaker 2: can do that, just because the game has changed so much.
Speaker 2: The transfer portal, you know, wasn't the same as it
Speaker 2: was back then. You have nil money now, so I
Speaker 2: just think, you know, the entire landscape of college basketball
Speaker 2: has changed. I think it's hard to compare this team
Speaker 2: to any other team. Maybe the early Rick Patino team
Speaker 2: that was on probation could be, I guess the best
Speaker 2: comparison that I can make. But kind of hard to
Speaker 2: compare this team to other teams.
Speaker 3: It is, and we're in his historic season in the SEC.
Speaker 3: You know, Joelnardi said last night it is not crazy
Speaker 3: that fourteen teams can be in the NCAA Tournament out
Speaker 3: of the SEC. Yeah, just recently, that would have been
Speaker 3: the whole conference. Can you imagine the whole everybody in
Speaker 3: the team the conference going to the to the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 3: But with Texas winning, he's got them kind of last
Speaker 3: four out or something like that. So it's not crazy
Speaker 3: where fourteen teams can make the NCAA earlier the entire conference.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's ever happened before that many
Speaker 2: teams out of There were years where we.
Speaker 3: Were betting conference three or four teams. Cal was pleading
Speaker 3: to get three or four teams in the conference tournament.
Speaker 3: Now potentially thirteen, maybe fourteen.
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break. We'll be right back. We're
Speaker 1: live in Nashville at ten roof on Broadway. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. It is THEKSR pre Show.
Speaker 2: It is the KSR pre Show live in Nashville, ten
Speaker 2: roof here on Broadway. Shannon the Dude, Ryan LeMond eight
Speaker 2: five nine, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Let me ask just those of you there are here,
Speaker 1: is anybody not going to the game tonight.
Speaker 3: There's a couple, there's a few.
Speaker 1: See. That's the other great thing about this.
Speaker 2: You have the fan base that comes down here and
Speaker 2: they just want to be a part of the of
Speaker 2: the the atmosphere, the environment. Come down here and party
Speaker 2: and maybe drink a few Bruce Ki's watch the game.
Speaker 2: It is so much fun down here and the excitement,
Speaker 2: like we talked about earlier.
Speaker 1: Is just it's on another level.
Speaker 3: A lot of people they do that just want to
Speaker 3: be a part of it, you know, to come down
Speaker 3: here and feel the big Blue Nation at its best.
Speaker 3: And this is where it's at its best here at
Speaker 3: the SEC Tournament in Nashville. So you'll only a handful
Speaker 3: not going. That means all these people have to wait
Speaker 3: and wait and wait all day long to go to
Speaker 3: the game tonight.
Speaker 2: There was a long line actually to get in last night.
Speaker 2: I was I would think tonight it's going to be
Speaker 2: probably triple or quadruple that tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you may want to go early, but watch some
Speaker 3: of that Missouri Missippi state game. Just to get in,
Speaker 3: you have to wait in line.
Speaker 1: I heard there was a Luke Bryan sighting last night
Speaker 1: at the game.
Speaker 3: Was there.
Speaker 2: Would you be starstruck if you saw Luke Brian? Would
Speaker 2: you even know what Luke Bryan looked like? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: know what Luke Brian looks like.
Speaker 3: I would. I would probably be a little starstruck. He's
Speaker 3: a big superstar.
Speaker 2: Is he one of your favorite country artists? I know, Darian,
Speaker 2: I know he's no Darreious Rucker.
Speaker 3: Nobody except for you you're the only thing close to
Speaker 3: Darius Rucker.
Speaker 2: By the way, when we do Wagon Wheel later on,
Speaker 2: are you gonna get up on stage and take your
Speaker 2: shirt off like you do every year?
Speaker 3: Of course I would, but we've got the pregame show.
Speaker 3: Say they want they want Ryan shirtless? You want the
Speaker 3: the ladies at KSR want to see Ryan take his
Speaker 3: shirt off. The crazy was to listen listen to that pop.
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is our pregame show is in the
Speaker 3: middle of your concert till later today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I guess you're gonna have to come early.
Speaker 2: Then I'm may have to come early and do it.
Speaker 2: Speaking of shirts, what do you got? Who gave you
Speaker 2: this shirt? It says it's a picture of somebody giving
Speaker 2: a Mark Pope jersey.
Speaker 3: It's father Jim Shitco Shitco. Watch careful to say there
Speaker 3: giving a pope jersey to the Pope, the actual Pope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it says basketball Heaven.
Speaker 3: Basketball Heaven. So yeah, it's kind of appropriate. I think today.
Speaker 2: Is that a one of one shirt? I don't think
Speaker 2: they're selling out a Kentucky branded are they.
Speaker 3: I believe maybe that's where I got it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't know. By the way, Kentucky branded I believe
Speaker 1: is back there the back. They are back in the back.
Speaker 2: So make sure you're swinging back at tacky Brandan and
Speaker 2: get all of your UK merch before the game. Eight
Speaker 2: five nine twenty two eighty seven. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2: Take her first caller? Who do we have?
Speaker 3: Rick? We have Jacob first?
Speaker 1: Hey, Jacob, what's up?
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

Speaker 4: too much today?
Speaker 3: Oh this is the Jake had cracked us up yesterday?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, what's up, Jake?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just looking forward to looking forward to today
Speaker 4: for two reasons. Today I get to listen to Marshall
Speaker 4: County lose their game, and then they get to.
Speaker 3: Listen to then they get to listen to.
Speaker 4: The Wildcats win another game.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, and there this that's gonna be great,
Speaker 1: especially the first part. So that's gonna be real Fun's
Speaker 1: talking a little trash talking a little okay, thanks to
Speaker 1: the call. We appreciate it, you know.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the girls, Sweet sixteen, the two superstars yesterday
Speaker 3: were two eighth graders. Oh really and eighth grader plays
Speaker 3: for Taylor County had like twenty seven points. And then
Speaker 3: in eighth grade that plays for Frederick Douglass had like
Speaker 3: twenty points. The two big leading scorings yesterday were two
Speaker 3: eighth graders.
Speaker 1: Did they eat at ks Bar? Is that what it was?
Speaker 3: Like? The pregame meal they got the North Laurel did,
Speaker 3: and North Laurel won. Yesterday they ate at ks Bars
Speaker 3: and they won.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, I'm just saying, yep.
Speaker 3: I mean I was a coach to one of the teams,
Speaker 3: I'd be taking them to ks Bar today or tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Get the cheese logs and all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 3: going out here a superstar playing, you know, scoring thirty points.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's go to whoever's next? Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Rick? We have Ryan up next?
Speaker 1: Hey Ryan? What's up?
Speaker 4: Thank you? Sharon?
Speaker 1: Ryan?
Speaker 4: Uh? I just I was warned, remind you seven years
Speaker 4: ago one him tickets in Barstown.
Speaker 1: Out of remember boy.
Speaker 3: We want either.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I got a couple other times. I want
Speaker 4: I want to give a I want to let coach
Speaker 4: reup do Mark Pope's report card, and I swear it
Speaker 4: won't be nothing negative. Okay, real quick, real quick, you know,
Speaker 4: Paul Page down a real good job. But now hey,
Speaker 4: Age should play that one three one zone more and
Speaker 4: shoots a three point shot more. Thanks for taking my cow.
Speaker 1: No, who is that supposed to be?
Speaker 3: That was Trup? That was Rup? That was the rough. Really,
Speaker 3: you know he had a country twain. Did he really
Speaker 3: sound like that he had a twain? It's it's not.
Speaker 3: It's pretty close to what he sounded like. That was
Speaker 3: his impersonation of coach up grading Coach.
Speaker 2: Pope, Well, we're still looking for a whiskey thief call
Speaker 2: of the day. Uh, we're not off to a hot start.
Speaker 2: Eight five nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Speaking
Speaker 2: of coaches, Uh, Mark Pope and his coaching staff were,
Speaker 2: they're watching the game last night Oklahoma and Georgia.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: You know, not to keep piling on our previous coaching staff,
Speaker 2: but I don't think that would have happened before.
Speaker 3: Well that this guy. These guys are more prepared than
Speaker 3: any coach staff I've ever been around. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: what's amazing to me. Like Coach Pope does his pregame
Speaker 3: show with Tom Leech on the Network pregame show, and
Speaker 3: Pope will go down all these intricate details of every
Speaker 3: single person on the opposing team without any notes. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is stuff he just has already locked in his
Speaker 3: memory a day or two after they just played. Somebody.
Speaker 2: Remember he challenged his players to be able to give
Speaker 2: a couple of facts on stay. So I would think
Speaker 2: that if he's expected as players to do that, he
Speaker 2: has to know that as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think you're going to outprepare this UK
Speaker 3: coaching staff. Ever, when he comes to getting ready for
Speaker 3: a game.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a big, beautiful day, a super beautiful day.
Speaker 2: We were amazing, amazing, amazing, beautiful, this fantastic day eight five,
Speaker 2: nine two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Did you see this quote?
Speaker 2: This might be the best quote that we've had in
Speaker 2: sports all year.
Speaker 1: Alarm.
Speaker 2: Do you know who Toby Lowell is? I think I'm
Speaker 2: saying his last name, right, I don't know who this is?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So he plays for Virginia Tech and they just got
Speaker 2: knocked out of the ACC tournament. They finished thirteen and
Speaker 2: nine eighteen for the year. Okay, but his quote was
Speaker 2: this is verbatim here. They thought we were going to
Speaker 2: be ass. I mean, we were still ass, but we
Speaker 2: weren't that bad.
Speaker 3: I sound like a quote I probably said yesterday on KSR.
Speaker 1: The KSR was asked, but we weren't that bad? I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: I mean he says we were we were We were asked.
Speaker 2: They thought we were gonna be asked, we were asked,
Speaker 2: But yeah, we weren't that bad. Weren't that bad? Did
Speaker 2: that make you feel any better if your teammates with
Speaker 2: that guy?
Speaker 3: I love this guy. He's my new favorite Virginia Tech player.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I just love that quote.
Speaker 2: Eight five, twenty two eighty seven Kentucky and Oklahoma tonight,
Speaker 2: what are we thinking? Eighty percent Kentucky fans eighty five?
Speaker 2: I mean, is anybody from Oklahoma gonna be here to
Speaker 2: support thirteen?
Speaker 3: No, they had the very small section last night of
Speaker 3: the Missouri Missippi State people. They'll probably leave, so it
Speaker 3: will be eighty ninety ninety five percent Blue in there
Speaker 3: and it will be rocking. Like I said, this SEC
Speaker 3: tournament crowd just different and they're starving for a win.
Speaker 3: They finally get this experience off their back of the
Speaker 3: first round losses because now they can come back and
Speaker 3: get this team to win it. Tonight.
Speaker 2: I was just shocked watching the Texas game in the
Speaker 2: Oklahoma game going like they don't have they felt like
Speaker 2: any fans that I mean, I know, like you know
Speaker 2: they're not going to travel as well as Kentucky fans,
Speaker 2: but it just felt like looking around like last night's session,
Speaker 2: there were a lot of empty seats for that game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean the session earlier in the day was actually
Speaker 2: it was more filled up then later on last night.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they are waiting to come today,
Speaker 3: but it seems crazy you wouldn't come in case your
Speaker 3: team got beat last night. So I think it'll be
Speaker 3: it will be a lot of the same, not a
Speaker 3: lot of Oklahoma fans there tonight.
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about this since you are
Speaker 2: the only parent that's up on stage between the two
Speaker 2: of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my kids sitting right there.
Speaker 2: According to a new study, parents spend an average of
Speaker 2: sixty seven hours a year negotiating with their kids.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 2: Apparently, no pun intendant parenting has changed because when I
Speaker 2: was a kid, I can tell you that if I
Speaker 2: didn't do what my parents told me to do, I
Speaker 2: was going to get my butt whipped. And I guess
Speaker 2: parenting is not quite like that anymore because a lot
Speaker 2: of parents are negotiating with their kids instead of doing
Speaker 2: what they did to me, and basically you get your
Speaker 2: butt kicked and.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 3: Well, there's definitely a time for negotiation because you have
Speaker 3: to pick your battles. You know, you don't want to
Speaker 3: always just be the guy that's got of you know,
Speaker 3: put the hammer down every single time. So you know,
Speaker 3: you negotiate, maybe this because you know you got to
Speaker 3: have him do this later on. Yeah, maybe you've already
Speaker 3: done that.
Speaker 2: So there's nothing to be said for You're going to
Speaker 2: do it. And that's the way that it is. And
Speaker 2: if you don't like it, you're grounded.
Speaker 3: There are certain things you know you may want to
Speaker 3: do that for, but then there's other issues like hey man,
Speaker 3: why don't you clean your room?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no no. See that's the difference. Why don't you
Speaker 1: clean your room?
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, it was clean your room,
Speaker 2: or you're grounded and you're not going out.
Speaker 3: See I want to get that, you know, when it's
Speaker 3: like amen, you know, take the dog out, feed the
Speaker 3: dog out. That's something I really got to have. So
Speaker 3: why don't you know, there's a little negotiation in the
Speaker 3: cleaning the room part, which I don't need as bad
Speaker 3: as I needed to take the dogs out.
Speaker 2: Are you spending that much time of year? Do you
Speaker 2: think sixty seven hours? Probably more, it's more.
Speaker 3: Probably more than You're not the hire end of the Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm probably on the hire end of that.
Speaker 2: Kids got it easy these days, they do. They definitely
Speaker 2: do eight five, nine, two, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3: I guess you to what I did today? We kid,
Speaker 3: what did you do? I made him walk?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: You left him, that's right, left, We left him at
Speaker 2: the hotel. So yeah, that's right. You brought Josiah along
Speaker 2: with you on this trip, which is really nice, you know,
Speaker 2: letting him see Nashville, go to the games. Our lift
Speaker 2: was there, Our lift was ready to go at seven sharp.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: I was downstairs. I had the equipment. I was ready
Speaker 2: to go, even worked in a little Continental breakfast before
Speaker 2: we went. And you came down at seven o'clock. We're
Speaker 2: ready to go. No, Josiah, what did you do yet?
Speaker 1: You left them?
Speaker 3: We had we had to get down here, so sold
Speaker 3: of the dude. You gotta walk, then we gotta get
Speaker 3: out of.
Speaker 2: Here now Before anybody thinks that you know, you're a
Speaker 2: terrible parent. It's less than a mile walk, it is.
Speaker 2: And last night, by the way, we were gonna get
Speaker 2: a lift back to our hotel, and he was the
Speaker 2: one that I think didn't want to walk, right.
Speaker 3: I was like, you're younger than both of us. You
Speaker 3: should be able to handle a mile walk. These two
Speaker 3: old men, we can. We can make this walk up hill.
Speaker 2: Hold on a minute. I made that trip, not once
Speaker 2: but twice. Yeah, so I did up and back, up
Speaker 2: and back. That's four miles and probably another mile or
Speaker 2: two just walking around the arena. So five or six miles.
Speaker 2: But hey, for a guy that's walked fifty miles, that's nothing,
Speaker 2: no big deal to me. Nothing, and four hours is
Speaker 2: gonna be nothing. Later on today, I'm looking forward to
Speaker 2: that Alice blew down at four thirty right here on
Speaker 2: the stage. And also I think we got JD JD. Shelburne,
Speaker 2: another Kentucky fan, Kentucky native who's going to be playing
Speaker 2: here before us. So get out here, and actually you
Speaker 2: don't have to leave ten riv you can just stay
Speaker 2: here here. We're gonna have your entertainment all the way
Speaker 2: up until game time for tonight JD's the biggest Kentucky
Speaker 2: fan as anybody.
Speaker 3: So he's gonna be on the stage. And then you

Speaker 2: Did you see the latest bracketology, Ryan, I.
Speaker 3: Have not seen. It came out like early this morning, right.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let me ask you if you like this.
Speaker 2: Kentucky as a three seed, Yeah, they would play the
Speaker 2: fourteen Montana and if they were to win that game,
Speaker 2: they would play either Illinois or wait for it, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Another SEC school.
Speaker 2: So if we may be seeing Oklahoma again, if Joe
Speaker 2: Lenardi is right and it plays out the way that
Speaker 2: he's got it right now.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. There's so many SEC teams in the tournament.
Speaker 3: They usually don't want to pit conference schools against each
Speaker 3: other till at least they get to the second weekend,
Speaker 3: but they can't get around it this year. If there's
Speaker 3: gonna be thirteen teams in the SEC in.
Speaker 2: The tournament, and then your seventh seed would be ole
Speaker 2: Miss another SEC school, and then your one seed Florida,
Speaker 2: so we could be going through the SEC gauntlet once again.
Speaker 3: That's why this argument that the SEC tournament is tougher
Speaker 3: than the NCAA tournament. It is, I mean, just is
Speaker 3: to try to get to the championship game.
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
Speaker 2: If you said, like, who do you not want to see?
Speaker 2: I think they're all SEC schools. Yeah, Like give me
Speaker 2: any other school, give me do gimme Houston. I'm not
Speaker 2: concerned about those teams. Do I want to see a
Speaker 2: Florida in the in the tournament? Do I want to
Speaker 2: see Ole miss Again? Probably not. I would rather have
Speaker 2: any other school than an SEC.
Speaker 3: It would be crazy if you play an SEC school
Speaker 3: in the second round, an SEC school in sweet sixteen,
Speaker 3: and then an SEC school in the lad eight. Yeah,
Speaker 3: back to back to back.
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones, aight, five, nine, two, eight, oh,
Speaker 2: twenty two, eighty seven?
Speaker 1: Who's up next? Rick?
Speaker 3: Got Mike up next?
Speaker 1: Mike? What is up?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: Did you all get a chance to see the little
Speaker 6: segment this morning on CBS about all Anthony towns?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it either. What was it?
Speaker 6: They just had a little article about him that he
Speaker 6: likes starting at when he was fifteen year old, he
Speaker 6: would make a note to a phone and have the
Speaker 6: improve his game. And he really give a lot of
Speaker 6: credit to his parents, especially his mom and Stiffer. And
Speaker 6: he mentioned his time at Kentucky and Calliperry.
Speaker 2: Well, I have not seen it. I'll go back and
Speaker 2: watch it later on anything else.
Speaker 3: That's all all right, appreciate the call. No, I didn't
Speaker 3: see it. But you know, the dude is just a
Speaker 3: special person. You know, we all know that got the
Speaker 3: nim around him when he was here, so and he's
Speaker 3: still that way. He's still that special guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely one of the most beloved Yeah players off
Speaker 2: of off that team for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Rick? Tracy is up next?
Speaker 1: Hey Tracy?
Speaker 3: I guys go big.
Speaker 5: Was excited for the guys tonight, which I was there.
Speaker 1: Why are you not here? All right?
Speaker 5: So here's right, tweeter us all. There was a some
Speaker 5: sports show from Arkansas tweet it out to their fans
Speaker 5: say if they could choose any past player to play
Speaker 5: in this postseason, who would they choose? And I like
Speaker 5: most people will pick Charley Williamson, I believe, said I pick.
Speaker 5: But I would just kind of wonder for you pay
Speaker 5: fans if that question was I asked, if you could
Speaker 5: choose any one Pist players to play in this post season,
Speaker 5: who would most people pick.
Speaker 1: It's a good question.
Speaker 2: Any player Ryan that you could send back from Kentucky's
Speaker 2: past to be on this team, who would it be?
Speaker 3: You know, you've heard a lot of the former players
Speaker 3: say how they wish they could play in this system
Speaker 3: where they just got the green light to shoot. Jude
Speaker 3: and Jude and Jut and jew heard you know, Deron
Speaker 3: Lamb told us this summer, like, man, you care crazy.
Speaker 3: I would love to play in this system where every
Speaker 3: time I got the ball got the green light to
Speaker 3: put it up. So Duran may be one of the
Speaker 3: guys you maybe would want to see on a team
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: We got a lot of great shooters on the team, though,
Speaker 2: I don't know, like, yeah, I'm thinking maybe like a
Speaker 2: guy like Anthony Davis, right, I mean, if you could
Speaker 2: add anybody, em be the guy that I would add
Speaker 2: just for his defense. I mean, if if that alone,
Speaker 2: what was he like? You took like the eighth most
Speaker 2: shots on that team.
Speaker 3: I've heard that. I've heard that story once or twice,
Speaker 3: Yeah you're here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else?
Speaker 5: Just thinking about Kyle Mighty or like Rake Tratman's a shooter,
Speaker 5: like I didn't know who everybody else would would have
Speaker 5: fought that would have been attaining them one too, But
Speaker 5: I thought that was like a good question to say
Speaker 5: what everybody would think?
Speaker 1: So who did you say yours would be?
Speaker 5: Well? I was thinking either like Frake Tratman or Kyle Mightcy.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well, I mean either one of those would
Speaker 1: be great.
Speaker 3: Rex is a good answer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I would just like thinking about uh,
Speaker 2: thanks for the call. We appreciate Tracy. What about a
Speaker 2: guy like I don't know if Oscar would fit on
Speaker 2: this team? Very well, great rebounder, but I just don't
Speaker 2: know that he would fit in with this system, which
Speaker 2: is crazy.
Speaker 3: He was a college basketball player of the year, yep,
Speaker 3: got you you know, twenty rebounds a game more than once,
Speaker 3: and yet he wouldn't be maybe a good fit on
Speaker 3: a team like this.
Speaker 2: Had a great game a couple of nights or a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks you did where he's I think he
Speaker 2: scored like twenty and I think he did rebound or
Speaker 2: something like that. Ye before we get out of here, let
