1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone, it is the local Towny Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: The Cats win their third straight game in Knoxville, where

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: they came in as a double digit favorite five out

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: of the last six, as Kentucky officially takes ownership of

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: a big share of Rocky Top with a seventy eight

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: seventy three win in Knoxville. Three straight years, Kentucky has

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: come in double digit underdogs three straight years. Pretty Much

8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: everyone has gone into the game assuming we were gonna lose.

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Three straight years, Kentucky has come into the Tennessee game

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: with major injuries, and three straight years they've come out

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: with a victory in which they led virtually the entire game.

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Really an amazing, amazing performance tonight by Kentucky.

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: Ryan Lemon is in studio with Billy.

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do about half the show and then I

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: still got other stuff I have to do tonight, but

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let them finish. But Ryan, I went tonight

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to the Hurricanes. They were playing in New York. So

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: I went to the game, and I was watching the

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: Kentucky game on my phone, and so it would kind

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: of come in and out, and I was like a

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: lunatic because everyone else is watching the game in front

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: of them, and I'm cheering on a screen in my

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: hand that nobody is paying attention to. But I loved

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: it so much I then't came back to the hotel

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: and I just watched the second half again so I

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: could see the whole thing by myself. And it was

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: an awesome performance. I mean, so many storylines. I guess

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go to both of you guys and get

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: you each to say the thing that stuck out to

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: you the most. The thing that stuck out to me

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: the most is, honestly, even though we scored seventy eight,

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: the way Kentucky guarded Tennessee, Kentucky decided, You know what,

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can beat them down low.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can stop their penetration. We're

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna make them shoot threes. Tennessee shot forty five threes.

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: That's the most threes a team has ever taken against Kentucky.

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: In its history ever. Wow, and they only made eleven.

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky got Tennessee to play into their game plan, and

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that, to me was the difference in the game.

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: What about you?

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a gutty performance man, you know you go

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: in there, you're limping down there with Noel, Lamont, Butler,

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: Carr tried to play, played like a minute and he

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: couldn't go didn't play the rest of the game. And

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: you got a couple guys out there, they're playing out

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: of position and just rising their game. And we'll talk

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: about it with Jackson, Brea, Amari Ansley, Trent, Noah, Colin Chandler.

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 4: I mean we go, we'll go on and on and on.

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: Each guy stepped up in the absence of Butler and

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: of Car and it just was just a gut check

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: performance that I was really proud of them.

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there were Billy seven guys on the

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: team that really had important performances tonight. And not to

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: take anything away from Garrison and Perry, but I think

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the other seven guys, the five starters, Noah and.

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Chandler, who wasn't sure could play here this year.

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I actually thought all seven of those guys we were

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: crucial in the win. We'll go over them, but Billy,

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: I think all of them actually brought something tonight.

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 5: No I'm glad you mentioned those two, especially Noah. I mean,

61
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 5: I feel like, while everybody cheers when he goes into

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 5: the game, he's actually having productive minutes, especially defensively, and

63
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 5: this was against the number one defense in the country.

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: So really impressive for this veteran group to just move

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: on from what has been pretty two abysmal games before it.

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Seventy eight points we scored. That's the most Tennessee's given

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: up all year.

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 4: Yep.

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: And that's with basically two of our starters out. Yes

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: during the game. Let's I'm gonna just go over each

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: guy real quick. At what stuck out. Amari Williams fifteen

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: rebounds in only twenty four minutes. He only played twenty

73
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: four minutes, it felt like a lot more. But he

74
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: had foul trouble in the first half. Fifteen rebounds in

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: twenty four minutes and had to break and I don't

76
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: know I had to, but brought the ball.

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Up a little bit at the end of the game.

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you, maybe I.

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: Was a little nervous seeing him dribble it up every time,

80
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: But you know what worked out. I don't think he

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: he had three turnovers, but I don't think it was

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: on those possessions. I thought it was one of, if

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: not his best games. Jackson Robinson was seventeen points, and

84
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: as has been the case in a lot of games

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: this year, he hit shots when we like were struggling

86
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: at offense.

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: He keeps us going until other guys can click.

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I think it's the best all around offensive performance Kobe

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Bray has had all year.

90
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: He had three threes, but he got to the basket.

91
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: He got to the line.

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Ryan he had only taken ten free throws this year

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: coming into this game, and he had seven to nine.

94
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: He had almost as many free throws tonight as he

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: had taken all year because he was more aggressive. He

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: was getting to the line. Oway had some you know,

97
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: butterfingers a few times, but he was excellent, hit the

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: big free throws down the stretch. I thought he played

99
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: really good defense throughout the game.

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: Al minor four threes.

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, he struggled rebounding, but the four threes were crucial.

102
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Hit three in the first half. The one he hit

103
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: in the second half was was big. Noah, you know, Noah,

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: we played nine minutes, but his three was awesome. But

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: I actually think his bucket there were two baskets that

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: I thought were the biggest baskets of the game.

107
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: One of them was Noah's.

108
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: The crowd was starting to turn Tennessee had cut it

109
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: to six. There was a turnover and he ended up

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: with the loose ball. He might be the best dude

111
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: we have on the team at getting loose balls. That's

112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: a weakness of this team. He gets it, gets the layup,

113
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: kind of stops the run. I thought the other biggest

114
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: one was when Kobe Braa hit that three after the bank,

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: because you know when they right when he made the bank,

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we're done.

117
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: We go to the bank again.

118
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: And then Kobe Bray hit a three on the very

119
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: next position that I thought was huge. Those to me

120
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: were the two biggest shots. And then Colin Chandler. You know,

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: his stats are not going to stick out. He made

122
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: a kind of a poor decision at the end, but

123
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: he played fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes that allowed other guys

124
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: to get I actually thought he played pretty decent defense

125
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: all things considered. And if you told me, I mean,

126
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: we were gonna get fifteen minutes from Colin Chandler and

127
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: there'd be no real problems and it allows guys to rest.

128
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I would take that all the time. Ryan, So all

129
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: seven of the main contributors I thought were great.

130
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first two guys you mentioned to Maury, he

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: was plus twenty and Jackson was plus twelve. You mentioned

132
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: the two guys that had the highest.

133
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Plus about Mary was plus twenty. Yeah, plus twenty in

134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: a game we won by five. Ry No is his birthday.

135
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: Maybe we can play every game when he's birthday. It

136
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: was his birthday. And what is he is? He like

137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: thirty one at this point? I mean, he's been in

138
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: college for a while.

139
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: But go ahead, but where else can you find a

140
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: guy that can dominate the glass, get fifteen points and

141
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: then oh yeah, bring the ball up the courtn ack

142
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: like you initiate the offense as a point guard. There

143
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: are very few dudes I think they can do that.

144
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: I agree, And then you know they did everything they

145
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: needed to do. I mean, Jackson Robinson was playing point guard.

146
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: You had O Way play a little point guard, and

147
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: you had a Mariy Williams play point guard. I mean,

148
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: your two point grows are out and you basically said

149
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: to those three guys, you guys play point guard, and

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: you know what, it worked. But I thought this was

151
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: And again the players I just mentioned, I thought all

152
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: played really well. But this game to me is once

153
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: again kind of about the coaching, Billy. I mean, you

154
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: go into that game and Mark Pope clearly said, all right,

155
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: you know what, We're not gonna be able to stop

156
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Chaslin Neer off the bounds. We're probably not gonna be

157
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: able to stop Ziggler off the bounch Milichick is probably

158
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna be able to score. Let's make them shoot threes.

159
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: If we make them shoot threes, we got a shot.

160
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Mark Pope thought they would take forty five. Okay,

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's crazy. We only took twenty four.

162
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: They took forty five. But you know what a lot

163
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: better to have them shooting forty five threes, Billy, rather

164
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: than getting to the rim time after time.

165
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we've talked about Pope being able to adapt

166
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: after a loss like this put an emphasis on things

167
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 5: that they need to work on. Jack gibbns may some

168
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 5: comments today that UK looked more comfortable against physicality than

169
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: they ever have this year, So maybe starting to click

170
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: with these guys a little bit.

171
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: I agree, and I love that O way.

172
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: For instance, especially in the second half, he looked like

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: to me, right he was trying to draw fouls.

174
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about that.

175
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like our guys wanted contact, and in

176
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the first half we didn't, but in the second half

177
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: they started to draw fouls. How about this stat, Ryan,

178
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: you know when our last basket was our last field goal?

179
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: Do you know?

180
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 4: No?

181
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: That was that Kobe Braa three and it's in twenty

182
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: seconds to go. That was our last field goal. We

183
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: did not score a field goal in the last five

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: minutes of the game.

185
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

186
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 3: So they hit like four or five free throws and

187
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: O take it, hit those three at the end.

188
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, fourth straight that We're cute that they and then

189
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: I think Robinson had won as well at what point,

190
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: but he got fouls.

191
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: So I mean we had no you know, no field goals.

192
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: Now, you know, if we lost that sequence where they

193
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: got three straight offensive rebounds and one of them went

194
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: off always hands and then one of them went off

195
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: Bray his hands.

196
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: That would have driven me crazy. The refs.

197
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: The foul call, the offensive foul call on oh Way

198
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: is one of the worst fouls I've ever seen. I

199
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: mean that he gets mugged and they call the foul

200
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: on oh Way after I that was a home cooking

201
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: call if there ever was one. The reviews, somebody's gotta

202
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: do something about the reviews. No, I mean, none of

203
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: that stuff should have been reviewed. Probably the only play

204
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: that should have maybe been reviewed was The Way Rebound

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: where it got knocked out.

206
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 4: And I don't even think they got it right. Yeah right,

207
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 4: I think they.

208
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I think they reviewed it.

209
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 4: I don't think they got it right.

210
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Like to me, when you make a call on the

211
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: on the court, if you can't tell Ryan within twenty

212
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: seconds that it was wrong, you gotta go with the

213
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: call in the court. You got They got to stop

214
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: four minute reviews at the end of games.

215
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of time they were just checking to

216
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: see two but to make sure they had the clock right,

217
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: and they would adjust.

218
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 2: Who cares, it's one second.

219
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean with them half a second

220
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: with a minute twenty left, It's one second, Like, come on,

221
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: that's like, that's irrelevant to worry about the clock on

222
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: that level. The one time the Tennessee dude just dribbling

223
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: off his foot, what was there even to look at?

224
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: The Kentucky guy wasn't even next to him. No, they

225
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: off of that was a clock review on that one right,

226
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: who peers there's fifty eight seconds left? Like I get

227
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: looking at the clock if there's eight seconds left, but

228
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: if there's fifty like, who cares about the clock?

229
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: To that level?

230
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: That was That annoys me because the last two minutes

231
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: of that game twenty minutes, I mean, it was.

232
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous.

233
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: But regardless, this is a huge win, big picture for

234
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: the season. Tucky's now four and three in the SEC.

235
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: They went from tenth in the SEC, U Ryan to

236
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: I bet they're gonna end up probably being after tonight

237
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: maybe six or seventh in the SEC. You got Arkansas.

238
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Now you're coming into Arkansas all with good vibes. We'll

239
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: have a lot of time to talk about that this week,

240
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: because there's obviously gonna be a lot to talk about.

241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: But you know we mentioned earlier today.

242
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: You know, if you lost this game, got at Ole

243
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: Miss next week, if you know, God, God forbid something

244
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: bad happened Saturday, you could be like five losses in

245
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: row and you start thinking about making the losing the tournament.

246
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: They now, Ryan are six and one against the top

247
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: fifteen this year.

248
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: Six and one.

249
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that stat.

250
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: Like, dude, Florida, Tennessee you're all in the top ten,

251
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: A and M, Mississippi State, ufl are all on the

252
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: top twenty five. And oh yeah, they also beat Gonzaga.

253
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing their resume they've got.

254
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: We are six and one against teams that were in

255
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the top fifteen when we played them. We're gonna have

256
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: if we, If we, I mean, I am sure at

257
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: this point we have more high quality wins than any

258
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: other team in the country. I can't imagine there's another

259
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: team that has a better set of top line wins

260
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: than Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville, Florida, A and M, Mississippi State

261
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: and Tennessee. You think there's Billy, There's no team that's

262
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: got seven wins better than that, Right.

263
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: There's no match.

264
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 5: And adding the fact you didn't have both point guards

265
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 5: for Gonzaga and at Tennessee, oh Andrew Cars didn't play either,

266
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 5: I mean, it's incredible.

267
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,359
Speaker 2: With the dune, I am worried.

268
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: A little bit about Butler with what Pope said at

269
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: the end, right he said if and when Lamont comes back,

270
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: that if is carrying a load right there. That worries me. Right,

271
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. I when I if

272
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: and when is not? You know, depends on where what

273
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: you mean if and I guess if and when. It

274
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: could be yes, he's playing, it could be no. But

275
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: that that language worried me. Ryan not gonna lie to you.

276
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: I yeah, and we're all gonna decipher.

277
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: You know.

278
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: Lamont's dad retweeted a tweet that said we got to

279
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 3: rest him getting ready for March. Okay, does that mean

280
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: he's gonna wait a lot of several more weeks?

281
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: And just to make I'm okay with that, if you

282
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: told me, if you told me he rests three or

283
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: four weeks and we know we have him in March

284
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: at this point, I take.

285
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: I'd take that in a second.

286
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm worried because, like you know, we can grind out win.

287
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we've beaten Gonzaga in Tennessee without him

288
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: without him. But now, to be fair, though, where we

289
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: will miss him is against teams that can score a lot.

290
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee cannot, right, so we will miss him against an

291
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Alabama or at Alburg.

292
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 2: And you know, because of his defense.

293
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: Zakai Zigler was he shot eleven threes and he was

294
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 3: like one for eleven because he was getting open looks

295
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler would not have allowed him to get off

296
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: eleven threes.

297
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 2: I'm glad he did because he missed the ball.

298
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: He get missing. He do that.

299
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: Didn't he do that last year or the year before

300
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: against US?

301
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: Didn't he have a terrible game against us one time

302
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years.

303
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 4: That sounds right, That sounds right. He had a bad game, man, he.

304
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: I think it might have been last year. If it

305
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: wasn't it was two years ago.

306
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: He's had another game against US where he just completely

307
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean he and if you again, you tell me

308
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: he and chasl and the Airbilly before the game are

309
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna go four for twenty one from three?

310
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 5: You take that in a heartbeat, right, Yeah, I'm still

311
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 5: looking at the box square eleven of forty five from three.

312
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 5: When Kentucky was twelve of twenty four, they made more

313
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: threes and took a lot.

314
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: I thought we had to shoot okay, so I thought

315
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: we had to shoot thirty. We shot twenty four, but

316
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: we made fifty percent, right.

317
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: We made more of them.

318
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: And I am really impressed at our ability to score

319
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: on twos, especially Bray going to the basket.

320
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: Oh what I mean?

321
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: That was And we and you know we didn't. We

322
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: shot sixty six percent from the line, but we made

323
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: sixteen of them. I don't know how many games this year, Ryan,

324
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: how many games you think we've made sixteen free throws

325
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: this year? I don't think it's a lot because I

326
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: think we did a line a lot, right.

327
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this team is not a team that gets

328
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: to the line a lot, and I don't shoot a

329
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: lot of free throws.

330
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,520

Speaker 3: perfect to play it, and I love it.

Speaker 2: Let's enjoy this one. Tonight.

371
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: All right, First of all, Trent Noah, somebody on ks

372
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: board Ryan gave him the nickname that I'm just gonna

373
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: tell you I'm calling him from now on unless he

374
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: says he doesn't like it, and that's Mountain Mamba. Come on,

375
00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: that's a great nickname, Mountain Mamba, Kobe Bryant, Mountain Mama.

376
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: Like, come on, that's the nickname? Is that? That's his nickname?

377
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: Mountain Mama? Right? Is that? Can we agree? I love it, I.

378
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: Don't love the nickname, and go ahead, Well, I'm glad

379
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: you mentioned that shot he hit because that was definitely

380
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: an STFU shot because they were starting to get into it.

381
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: He hit the shot to kind of shut him up,

382
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: and Coach Pope said he played the perfect role.

383
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: I think was Pope Maybee.

384
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: Maybe in Gibbons, one of the two guys said of

385
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: the night, he was the perfect role coming off the bench.

386
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: Well, Ryan at eleven o two getting spicy, isn't he here?

387
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: You'll see for eleven o two at night? Uh uh?

388
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: Text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two

389
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 1: five four. A few couple of people said this on

390
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: the text machine. I can't confirm because I didn't see it.

391
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: But Billy, they say to me that Brandon Garrison went

392
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: live on his Instagram from the locker room and that

393
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: on it, Lamont Butler came on and said he would

394
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: be back soon.

395
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 5: I was worried when you started that sentence. But that's

396
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 5: that's that's a good thing to know.

397
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: No, I mean, yeah, I don't. I mean, that's not official.

398
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: But if Brandon Garrison goes live on his Instagram and

399
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: Lamart Butler says he's gonna.

400
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Come back, that's good. Right.

401
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I will take that as a piece of positive news.

402
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't on it, but looks like that's what he said.

403
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's get started.

404
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: Who's up for Taylor?

405
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: Taylor? Go ahead, Taylor, hey.

406
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: Man, huge win.

407
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 2: Just curious.

408
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 8: Do you think that after the night we figured out

409
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 8: absent pressure that for offense to start that actually a

410
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 8: big bringing it up is a good thing because all

411
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 8: offense usually starts with a pass from a guard.

412
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: To a big.

413
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 8: I think back to the last game with Bob Butler

414
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 8: trying to force it in. We don't have to actually

415
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 8: initiate that pass if we have a big like Amari

416
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 8: Williams ring end it up.

417
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: I think your key phrase was at the beginning.

418
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: If there's not pressure, I mean, if you promise me

419
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: Amari's not gonna turn it over, then yes, because our

420
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: offense often does initiate with him at the top. If

421
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: you promise me that, then sure, I don't know. Again,

422
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: although Tennessee is one of the best pressure teams in

423
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: the country, they didn't really make the adjustment. I'm kind

424
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: of surprised they didn't. You know, Milichek's not quick enough

425
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: to get put pressure. But I'm kind of surprised they

426
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: didn't have Lanier or or Ziggler like get up on

427
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: a Mari as he was bringing it up the court.

428
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: But they didn't, and so it worked.

429
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: And so maybe, I mean, if they don't make an adjustment,

430
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: maybe you're right.

431
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean this surprised me. And they really did

432
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 8: not pressure our bigs. And frankly, we had big guards

433
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 8: bringing Baltimore most of the night.

434
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: Maybe you're right, gain he's a good defender. Yeah, me

435
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Shack and a Ben to go there.

436
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: He's a good defender.

437
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the call of you. Yeah, they didn't

438
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: appreciate it.

439
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: They didn't.

440
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: They really didn't Ryan do that, and so Pope took

441
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: it to his advantage and and Mamari brought it up

442
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: a lot there in the last few minutes.

443
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: The thing that's that's gotten better. And Amari's not trying

444
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: to drive on somebody, get it once against the ball

445
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: at the top of the key, trying to drive on something.

446
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 3: He's you know, initiating the offense do he's supposed to do,

447
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: not trying to become you know, Kobe Bryant out there

448
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: and trying to make a play.

449
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: I think, by the way, Kobe Brea this watch when

450
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: I rewatched the second half a minute ago, it's the

451
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: best I've seen him move without the ball at things

452
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: besides just trying to get a three like he was

453
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: cut into the basket.

454
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: And you know, I thought, as far.

455
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: As an all around offensive game, obviously he hit seven

456
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: threes or whatever it gets Florida, but is an all

457
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: around offensive game, this might have been his best one tonight.

458
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: He and he held his own defensively.

459
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: He didn't get like abused like has happened in some

460
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: of the other games. So who's up next?

461
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 5: Casey is next?

462
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: Casey? Go ahead, Casey?

463
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 9: What's going on?

464
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: MJ's that can't become a thing, by the way, I

465
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: can't become a thing.

466
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: No, I can't go ahead.

467
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 10: Well, they banked in a three and we still won. Yeah,

468
00:20:54,119 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 10: Williams fifteen boards for ten points on I called in

469
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 10: a couple of weeks ago and asked what our best

470
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 10: win is. We had wins against the Zags, Florida, Duke,

471
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 10: Mississippi State, Louisville, and a yeah's the best.

472
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: Win now that you know, it's a great question. I

473
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: appreciate the call.

474
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, when we get to selection Sunday, Ryan, I

475
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: think our best win on paper is still going to

476
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: be Duke, because I think they're gonna end up probably

477
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: the number two overall seated team in the tournament. But

478
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: this one's probably second by the numbers on the road

479
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. I'd have to look to see for sure,

480
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: but I bet you if you're just looking at analytics,

481
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: this is probably our second best win analytically.

482
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Duke's gonna be a number one seed, so

483
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the number one win. But you're right

484
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: to win at Tennessee, a team that was number one

485
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: for a long time this season, just a couple of

486
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: weeks ago, being them on their home floor.

487
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: I think that is the second best win.

488
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna they are great defensive team, but

489
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have the problem of they just

490
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: they don't create enough offense.

491
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: Right.

492
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: They really only got three guys that could score. Yeah,

493
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: and that makes it, I think hard for them. They

494
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: have to win games in the sixties, and you know,

495
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: we got to seventy eight, and if they, if any

496
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: team gets in the seventies, I think it's be hard

497
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: for Tennessee to win.

498
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: Who's next, Travis, Travis, Go ahead, Travis. It was MJ.

499
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 11: Hey Man first off, Mountain Mamba and Colin Chandler. Man

500
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 11: played a great game today, Man. They came off the bench,

501
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 11: they played their role almanor Man. That guy is just

502
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 11: getting better and better every game. He's getting more confident

503
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 11: is shot. And the defense tonight was it was good man.

504
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 11: You know, besides the late game offensive rebounds that Tennessee

505
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 11: just happened to come up with every time. You know,

506
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 11: we just we played good ball, man, and we shot

507
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 11: the ball well. And I'm excited for this game on Saturday.

508
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I agree with you. I mean, they we

509
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: gave up eighteen.

510
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: Offensive rebounds, which is a lot, but four of them

511
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: were on the last in the last minute and a half.

512
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: So but they fought through it.

513
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Billy, and you know, eighteen offensive rebounds a lot, but

514
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: they won and so you just but you can't let

515
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: that be a habit.

516
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 5: Are you starting to come around on a Mauri Williams

517
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: a little bit? Or is the jury still.

518
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: Coming around on him?

519
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 4: I think he's right.

520
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: Look he's plus twenty, like, that's awesome. He had fifteen boards,

521
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: that's awesome. You know, does he has he frustrated me

522
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: in games? Yes, he didn't really frustrate me to I

523
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't see. I didn't really see a play that I

524
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: thought he was really good. I did see the one

525
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: time they went to review to see if he touched

526
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: the ball going out of bounds, right, I wanted to

527
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: go he doesn't raise his arms. Of course he didn't

528
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: touch them. It's out on them. But he got a

529
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: couple two hnded rebounds that were big. I thought he

530
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: was great. I think this was his best game of

531
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the year in my opinion. I think him Colin Chandler obviously,

532
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: and I maybe even Kobe bry I mean, I know

533
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: he hit seven threes, but just as overall those those three, Yes,

534
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: this might have been their best games the year, all three.

535
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 5: Of them, and Mario's guy Ansley Almanor. I mean he's

536
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: he's still.

537
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still. I mean he hit four threes. That

538
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: was huge.

539
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: I think the game was at Mississippi State. I think

540
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: that's his game of the year. Is it wasn't that

541
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 1: the one he hit the four threes and they were

542
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: all at the end.

543
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: Was that the Yeah? I think that was.

544
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 3: He's eight of thirteen and he's last three thirteen three

545
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: point attempts.

546
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, before he hit against Misissippi State were like they

547
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: won the game.

548
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: So I'd say that's probably his best one. Who's that? Jacob, Jacob,

549
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: go ahead.

550
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 12: Jacob Hey, Matt Jones case, how about this, guys. Kentucky

551
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 12: didn't have their starting point guard. Kentucky didn't have their

552
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 12: backup point guard. Kentucky didn't have their starting power forward.

553
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 8: But you know who we had.

554
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 12: We had the Mountain Mamba hitting Logo threes. We had

555
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 12: Mark Pope coaching his butt off, and best of all,

556
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 12: we had go big Blue chance erupting.

557
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: That was great. That was that was I love that.

558
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: Pope said on the post game he didn't hear it.

559
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that because that was

560
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: that was loud. Ryan, that those chants in rupperena, that's

561
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: excuse me, and Thompson bowing arena is pretty awesome.

562
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: I think it was Oway who was shooting a free

563
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: throw and the chance started going and you could see

564
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: Jackson Robinson break into a smile behind him because they

565
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: heard it.

566
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 4: On the floor. I know Coach Pope heard it on

567
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 4: the sideline.

568
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to say about Jackson Robinson

569
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 1: when you have a game where you know you you

570
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: have a game where two of the four best players

571
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: are out and you are, in theory, the the best

572
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: scorer on the team. I know Oway leads the team

573
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: in points, but I still think Robinson's probably better score.

574
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Their defense is going to be focused on you, and

575
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: you could tell Tennessee's defense was keep Robinson from beating us.

576
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: He still had seventeen and he did a great job

577
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: of setting other guys up. I think he played excellent.

578
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: And you know, the dude I think has been good

579
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: this year. I think some people have hoped he'd be

580
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: a little better. But in this game and in the

581
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: Gonzaga game, in games Ryan where we had to have

582
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: him because other dudes weren't available.

583
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: He has played great.

584
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: I think those have been his best two games of

585
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 3: the year. And Zach and tonight, just what is being aggressive?

586
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: Looking for the shot, more running in the offense, making

587
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: good passes, playing good defense, and both both games he goes,

588
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: you know, called in to play a role he wasn't

589
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: used to.

590
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's next, Blaine, Blaine, go ahead, Blaine.

591
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 13: Hey, what's up, guys? I just wanted to say a

592
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 13: couple of things. I have probably five things, but I'll

593
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 13: only save.

594
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: Two for you. Give me your best two.

595
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I got your best too. So the first thing

596
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 13: I thought, the positive of Car being out is Noah

597
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 13: getting some uh really gaining some experience and and uh

598
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 13: really filling it up. So and I love the name

599
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 13: Mountain Mamba, but so I thought it was nice to

600
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 13: see him come in and get some experience as of reserves.

601
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 13: So when we need him and Car comes back, he's

602
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 13: ready to fight.

603
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, like yeah, yeah.

604
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 13: The other thing I wanted to say, I don't know

605
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 13: if you guys saw the Tennessee cheat sheet, was yeah,

606
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 13: Jackson Robinson weird name and owns the Mercedes Amari.

607
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, those are the dorkis those are the dorkiest.

608
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: They were the dorkiest. I appreciate the call, you know,

609
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: I listen. I disavow a lot of my Duke time,

610
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: but I would see the Duke student cheat sheet every game, Billy,

611
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: and it was always pretty good. Like they did research

612
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: and that this was when I was in school. They

613
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: did research. They were clever. This is pre the internet

614
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: being what it is now, so it's even harder to

615
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: find it. And they still had everything on the players.

616
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: Compare that to what Tennessee's was today. That was the

617
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: lamest thing I've ever seen.

618
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was really tame compared to what

619
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: you could have said or what Duke I guess was

620
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 5: doing back in the day.

621
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean owns of Mercedes. Like that's a negative.

622
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: That's that's something you mock. Come on, that was ridiculous.

623
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: And and oh his name is spelled funny. Come on,

624
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: you gotta do better than that, Tennessey.

625
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 5: Don't even try Andrew Carr, he's a graduate student, bro,

626
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 5: just leave college already. Trader to Wake Forest.

627
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the whole trader thing?

628
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Like half of their team is transfers too, Like, I mean,

629
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: is it like four of their five starters, transfers anyway.

630
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: Near sure is a transfer, I think I think milk.

631
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.

632
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: The only one that I think's been there from the

633
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: beginning is Ziegler because he's been there since Bernie and Ernie,

634
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: so I know it's been a while. Let's do one morning.

635
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I'll hand it to these guys for the last two.

636
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: Who's name Mark? Mark? Go ahead? And Mark?

Speaker 14: I've been with you and cass Are since the beginning

643
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 14: the podcast days. I'm fifty eight years old, I'm a

644
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 14: UK fan, and I'm really impressed with Mark Pope.

645
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: I just.

646
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 14: We could talk about all the players you want to,

647
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 14: but at the end of the day, Mark Pope is

648
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 14: the one that is responsible. Would you not agree?

649
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: Of course? Yeah?

650
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is still Tonight is a perfect

651
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: example of this team is the hole is greater than

652
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: the sum of the parts, and tonight two of the

653
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: parts were out and they still found a way to

654
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: win a big game.

655
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 14: Wasn't it beautiful? Did you watch it?

656
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: I did watch it? Yes, I did, Yeah, I did.

657
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: It was beautiful.

658
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 12: I know you did.

00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 14: I'm sorry.

660
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 13: It was just so.

661
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 14: It was just so amazing to me that this coach

662
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 14: did that without two starters and he beat Tennessee, the

663
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 14: number one defensive team in the coach country.

664
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: That was beautiful and it was.

665
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, and he made it look easy to be honest.

666
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I appreciate the call.

667
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for always listening and uh and and calling in.

668
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: He he was great. Awesome win this listen. We've had

669
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: so many of these this year. I remember the postgame

670
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: show after the Duke game. There was such a thrill

671
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, this Pope thing, this may work. And

672
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: then after the Gonzaga game, which was in the middle

673
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: of the night and we were in that bar and

674
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: it was as late as it could be and how

675
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: great that was. And we'd be Louisville and uh and

676
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, we still own little brother. And then

677
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: you beat Florida in a game where you score one

678
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: hundred and six points and you go, Okay, we're gonna

679
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: be able to compete in this SEC. Then you win

680
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: at Mississippi State in a game where you show, Okay,

681
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: this team can do it on the road, and now

682
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: tonight they do it against Tennessee. I know we I

683
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: said at the end of the year, you look at

684
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: what Poke did it.

685
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 16: B Yu.

686
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be weight here.

687
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: They win some game, they lose some games they probably shouldn't,

688
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: but there's not a game you don't have a chance

689
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: with him. And at some point I'm gonna remember that, Ryan,

690
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: because we went to Clemson and lost, came right back

691
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: and beat Gonzaga. We went to Georgia and lost, came

692
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: right back and went at Mississippi State. We went to

693
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: Bandy and lost, and come right back and win at Tennessee.

694
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: They have a way of bouncing back, and maybe the

695
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: next time this happens, we'll actually remember it. Billy, Ryan,

696

705
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: postgame Show, as the Cats wins seventy eight to seventy

706
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: three over the steaking tobacco chewing Tennessee volunteers.

707
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 4: Billy.

708
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: Before we go to the phones, we got to give

709
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: out some flowers. That's all right, Yeah, first flowers I

710
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: think has to go to Drew Franklin. And Drew Franklin

711
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: had a little rant at the end of our pregame

712
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: show where even though his his prediction on the on

713
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: the morning show and on the graphic had Kentucky losing,

714
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: Drew flipped at the end of the of the pregame

715
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: show was all about Kentucky pulling this off, and he

716
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: nailed it. So I think we could give Drew some

717
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: flowers tonight.

718
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

719
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: I did a great job hosting the pregame show and

720
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 5: then brought the energy at the end, so no doubt.

721
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: I told him that I thought the team was listening

722
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 5: to that speech afterwards.

723
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I think they did, no doubt about it. I

724
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: think now, I guess since we talked talked about the graphic,

725
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: we got to give flowers tomorrow. Yes, Mario's the only

726
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: one out of all of us that picked Kentucky to win,

727
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: and he only missed the final score by two points.

728
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: He missed the Kentucky score by one point. I think

729
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: in the Tennessee score by one point. He almost nailed

730
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: the score, picked Kentucky to win when the rest of

731
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: us did not believe in the Blues. We gotta give

732
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: Mario some flowers.

733
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: Listen, he knows. Bam Ryan and I've been bad on

734
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 5: the guesses this year. I'd say Kentucky's done this weird

735
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: thing where they lose the games that you think they're

736
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: gonna win, and then win these these big games on

737
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 5: the road.

738
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: Right now, the last set of flowers we have to give.

739
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: I think I gotta give them to myself.

740
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 5: Oh wait, hold on a second, you can't flowers to yourself.

741
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

742
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: How Because the postgame curse, I think is officially over.

743
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: I think I think now it's going to exactly flip.

744
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: You know, we went.

745
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: We broke the KSR curse. We went to the witch

746
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: House in Denver on our trip out to Seattle. Broke

747
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: the KSR curse. I think it also broke the postgame curse.

748
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm happy about doing this postgame show tonight. It's a

749
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: good post game. It's a winning big game.

750
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: Billy. I think I think I deserve some flowers.

751
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: Too.

752
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: Well, we named it the Billy R Sports post Game

753
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 5: to avoid the bad juju with you hosting the show.

754
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 5: So maybe we'll have to do that moving forward.

755
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: Well, here's another one.

756
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: You know, I think the KSR curse, I think is

757
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: finally turning around. When that guy banked into three, how

758
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: many of us thought, Okay, we're gonna lose this game.

759
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 3: How many times have we seen a bank three pointer

760
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: ends up being in one of our four losses.

761
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they hit the three right after the bank went in,

762
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 5: So I think that was the sign that maybe this

763
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,479
Speaker 5: would be a different, different game.

764
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, two, two, seven, eight, five nine, two cats, if

765
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: you want to call them, get on board.

766
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 4: So is line him up? Billy? Who we got?

767
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: Joe is up?

768
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 4: Joe, go ahead, Joe?

769
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 7: Hey, Ryan, thanks taking the call. Guys. Hey, I was

770
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 7: a doubter tonight. I'm gonna be a man and admitute,

771
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 7: I didn't think we had a snowballs chance and hell

772
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 7: to get this game pulled off. But to me, this

773
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 7: game just kind of proves that we can go out.

774
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 7: We can beat anybody any night, all the way through March.

775
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 7: As long as they play aggressive like that we gotta do.

776
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 7: We've gotta get free throws, man, free throws are gonna

777
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 7: cost us in March. And then grab the ball with

778
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 7: two hands. That's all I can say.

779
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Joe, Yeah, Uh, you know, at least Otega

780
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 3: stepped up and hit those last three in a row

781
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: that were huge, you know, to kind of put the

782
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 3: game out of reach. Brea hit what did what did Kobe?

783
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 3: And the five out of seven free throws? I think

784
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: he was, Yeah, five out of seven free throws. Jackson

785
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: hit one of two. At least they were, you know,

786
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 3: hitting some of the free throws. But we're not a

787
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 3: great free throw shooting team, it appeared, though. The numbers

788
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: may tell me something different, but Billy, it seems like

789
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 3: they're not the greatest free throw shooting team.

790
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 5: Well that and you know the fact that Kobe Brea

791
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 5: had as many free throws tonight almost as he's had

792
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 5: the entire season. So maybe they're starting to take some

793
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 5: of his coaching and the emphasis that Mark Pope has

794
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 5: put on these guys. But uh, Goosen and Brea had

795
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 5: a special moment post game. Jack was saying how proud

796
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 5: of he was, if not just only the team, but

797
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 5: of Kobe of you know, staying aggressive after a couple

798
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 5: of bad games, and it was it was.

799
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: It was nice to hear that Kobe Brean did not

800
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: miss a shot. He was five of five from the field,

801
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: three of three, three point lands. He missed two free throws,

802
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: but he did not miss a field goal. He needs

803
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: to be more aggressive and shoot more shots. The dude,

804
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: just if this, If Kentucky wants to go a long way,

805
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: he's got to He's got to be more aggressive offensively

806
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 3: and being a little more selfish I think offensively.

807
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree.

808
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: Who's next?

809
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 4: Billy Bones is Bones? Go ahead? Bones?

810
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 16: Hey, what's up?

811
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 7: Guys?

812
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 16: Thanks for taking my call. Hey, so I was gonna

813
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 16: say so in your opinion, and I'm pretty sure stats

814
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 16: will back it up. Jackson Robinson's two best games, and

815
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 16: then when we forced him to play point guard, he's

816
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 16: been better offensively, he's been better defensively. Beaton Tag and

817
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 16: now we beat Tennessee. I know you can't run him

818
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 16: in Lamont, but let it together. But there's something to that.

819
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 16: And then number two, how about Ainsley Albimor eight for

820
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 16: thirteen in the last three games. Like in Kobe Bray

821
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 16: when he shoots it without thinking it's money. It's when

822
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 16: he hesitates, and tonight he didn't hesitate, and lets you guys.

823
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: Listen, good points.

824
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 4: Bones made three great points.

825
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: The thing about Jackson Robinson, him playing point guard against Gonzaga,

826
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: him forced into point guard, and not against Tennessee he

827
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 3: has two of his best games of the year. I

828
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: agree with Bones. I don't think that's coincidence. I think

829
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 3: Jackson is just better with the ball in his hands more,

830
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: and by him playing point guard, he had the ball

831
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: and his hands more. He becomes more aggressive offensively looking

832
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 3: for he shot more. So, Billy, I do think there's

833
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 3: a little something to that.

834
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny because we heard that story of

835
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 5: Robinson running down the court screaming at Pope, I'll never

836
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 5: play point guard again, back when he was at BYU,

837
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 5: and then yeah, you know, he's just had to be

838
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 5: thrusted into that role at Kentucky and and you know,

839
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 5: Bones is right, he's played well in those moments.

840
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 3: Bones also mentioned Ansley Aminor. We talked about his twelve points,

841
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 3: his four to three pointers. Dude played thirty minutes tonight.

842
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: He was on the floor a lot and he had

843
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: to since Carr was out thirty minutes twelve points for

844
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: to three pointers. As Bone said, he's eight of his

845
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: last thirteen from three. He in the first half helped

846
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: kind of give Kentucky that cushion that they really never

847
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: gave up the rest of the way.

848
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 5: Him and Colin Chandler. I think maybe midway through the

849
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 5: year it was like, what kind of role of these

850
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 5: guys are gonna have. Are they gonna get on the

851
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 5: court very much at all over these in the last

852
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 5: half of the season, and they've proven that they can

853
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 5: step up and that's what they needed, right. I mean this,

854
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 5: with all these guys out, somebody had to play well,

855
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 5: and I feel like almost everybody you know played their role.

856
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: Who we got next? Sam?

857
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 5: Is next?

858
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 4: Sam? Go ahead? Sam?

859
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks for thinking my call. Guys. I'm looking at

860
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 9: ESPN right now and I just dated back to when

861
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 9: Kobe Braan had this amount of free throws. He's only

862
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 9: shot eight free throws since the lipscumb game, and tonight

863
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 9: he was able to shoot sad, which is pretty amazing

864
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 9: to me. But the three started following tonight and the

865
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 9: boy's got to w appreciate you taking my call.

866
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 4: Thanks, am appreciate it.

867
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of made a topic about Kobe Brean

868
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 3: not getting to the free throw line this week on

869
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: KSR in the morning show, the fact it only been

870
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: ten times all season and he gets there seven tonight

871
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: Billy once again.

872
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 4: I think they were listening to.

873
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: The show maybe, and he was the first guy to

874
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 5: make a shot in the game, had the first three pointer.

875
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 5: Kentucky hit four threes in the first four minutes and

876
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 5: then went what the next media timeout and had only

877
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 5: scored one point after that, So it was a hot

878
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 5: start and then they definitely cooled down after that.

879
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 3: So somebody tweeted me on X and said that Kobe

880
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 3: Brea maybe one of those guys that needs to start,

881
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: because he seems to play better in the couple games

882
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 3: that he started. I can't remember how he played in

883
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 3: the last game that he started, but obviously tonight being

884
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: in the starting line, he said he hit the first

885
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: shot and had it going down for the minute the

886
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: game started.

887
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 5: I've been told it doesn't matter who starts, yes, who

888
00:39:58,400 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 5: finishes Ryan.

889
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 3: But I think some guys it does matter. But yet,

890
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: you know, he came off the bench all year last

891
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: year at dating. I mean, he's us He's comfortable in

892
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: that role.

893
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 5: So it is Jackson.

894
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. If you can started, who you're gonna sit? Right,

895
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 4: tell me who you're gonna sit? Ye can't I sit?

896
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 4: O'll take it, Jackson l Yeah, all right, here's next, Leslie, Leslie,

897
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 4: go ahead, Leslie.

898
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 17: Hey, this is Leslie from Saint Louis. And I will

899
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 17: say that the Banks three. When I saw that, I

900
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 17: was like, we're gonna win this game. And uh, I

901
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 17: just love the way Pope was so masterful at rotating

902
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 17: the players, and the way Colin Chandler was like a

903
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 17: little bee buzzing around and he made some great passes.

904
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 17: I was so excited to see that because I didn't

905
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 17: know he had such great ball handling skills. And then

906
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 17: I do. I did so a little bad for Travis Perry.

907
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 17: He didn't seem to really have a great game tonight.

908
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 17: Do you how does the plus minus thing work?

909
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 10: Do we know what his was?

910
00:40:59,480 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: Uh?

911
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 4: Billy, see if you can look that up, see what

912
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: his was.

913
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 5: I can have that. Travis Perry was minus six tonight.

914
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 5: It was not the worst. Brandon Garrison was minus sixteen,

915
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 5: but Travis Perry minus.

916
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Travis was just kind of good matchup for trying

917
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 3: to guard Ziggler. Zigger went went right past him a

918
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 3: couple of times, and I think they realized, Okay, we

919
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 3: can't go do this. I agree with you, though. Yeah

920
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: about Colin Chandler, that was his that was his best

921
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: game of the year. Best games is the Blue White

922
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 3: Game by far.

923
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 10: Yeah.

924
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 17: He seemed really relaxed and just went out there and

925
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 17: played hard. And the way he would cut to the

926
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 17: basket and then make these great passes. He did a

927
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 17: great job.

928
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 7: I was.

929
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 10: I was really impressed.

930
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: Now are you the Leslie that knows Jason Tatum from

931
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: growing up in.

932
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 15: Saint Louis, I am, yes, I am.

933
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 13: Yeah.

934
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 17: He went to elementary school with my kids. Yeah, that

935
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 17: he was a classmate with my daughter.

936
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 5: Good callback ran Billy.

937
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: She sent me this thing that Jason Jason Tatum wrote

938
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: when he was in what the fourth grade, seeing how

939
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 3: he was going to be it.

940
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,520

00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,200

00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,280

982
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: All right?

Speaker 18: Is the cash crew and two d as my grandson's

984
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 18: all right, here's a question I want to ask y'all

985
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 18: talking about it. I listened to it this morning. Everybody

986
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 18: was predicting nine and nine in the SEC. Have you

987
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 18: wavered on that a little bit? Now? I'm kind of

988
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 18: leaning out eleven and seven or ten and eight. How

989
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 18: do y'all feel about that?

990
00:43:59,120 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: All right? Appreciate it?

991
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: In our preseason predictions, I think Billy, you and I

992
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: both said eleven and seven.

993
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 4: Is that right? Yes? That is correct?

994
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

995
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: I think even Shannon said eleven and seven. I think

996
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,959
Speaker 3: Drew and Matt said twelve and six. I mean, I'm

997
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: I'll be happy that if they end up twelve and six.

998
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: But it's not a reflection on Kentucky. It's reflection on

999
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 3: how good the SEC is this year. They're going to

1000
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 3: lose another game to like a Georgia or a Vanderbilt. Again,

1001
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: it's just gonna happen this year in se you know,

1002
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: they still have to go to Missouri. Everybody thinks that's

1003
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 3: gonna be a w Missouri's really really good, so there's

1004
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 3: still some losses out there for him. But yeah, this

1005
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 3: team is h This team could easily win twelve or

1006
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 3: eleven SEC games.

1007
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 5: At Ole Miss is gonna be a tough one, at

1008
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 5: Alabama is another one, and at Missouri, like you said,

1009
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 5: and then you've got some home games against Auburn, against

1010
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 5: Tennessee South Carolina, who hasn't been great, but you know,

1011
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 5: like you have a home game versus Vandy. Yeah, so

1012
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 5: I mean it's it's no slouch.

1013
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: They're at Ole Miss week from tonight. Right, that's next

1014

1033
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: Kentucky's last three big wins in Knoxville against Tennessee. All

1034
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: three wins involved a good game from a Kentucky kid. Trent, Noah, Tonight,

1035
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 3: Reed Shepherd last.

1036
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: Year, c J. Frederick two years ago.

1037
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: That's kind of cool, man, because when you grow up

1038
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 3: in this state, you know you you.

1039
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 4: Just you're just it's just in you.

Speaker 3: You hate Louisville, you hate Tennessee, you hate Duke, you

1041
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,960

1042
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: in Knoxville and each win the last three years, a

1043
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: Kentucky kid was a vital part of the wind.

1044
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,200

Speaker 4: twenty four minutes. That's amazing, all right. Who we got next, Thomas, Thomas?

1098
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Thomas, dude.

1099
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 15: We won. We had two guys on the bench that

1100
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 15: were starters. Are you kidding me Tennessee. I'm so fired up.

1101
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 15: This is a great team with Pope. Oh my gosh, incredible, Thomas.

1102
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 3: I could not have said it better. You said it

1103
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,359
Speaker 3: just as good as anybody could say. It's a brother.

1104
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 3: We appreciate it, enjoy the win. Anytime you beat Tennessee,

1105
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: it's a.

1106
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 15: Good win, especially when the guys on the bench are injured.

1107
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 3: Really yeah, exactly, all right, Thomas.

1108
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 4: We appreciate it. You know.

1109
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 3: I think, uh Lee on our last segment and Thomas

1110
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 3: tonight maybe have been celebrating with Grandpaul Gary with Big

1111
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: Blue Ben for his birthday tonight.

1112
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 5: It wasn't Kentucky a double digit underdog in this game?

1113
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was like eleven and a half.

1114
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, But Drew pointed out two years ago, Kentucky was

1115
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 3: also an eleven point and a half point underdog. They

1116
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 3: didn't have caseon Wallace, they didn't have Severe Wheeler down

1117
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 3: two point guards. Tonight we're down two point guards. Kind

1118
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 3: of eerily similar and they both come in with wins.

1119
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kentucky players just miss hate that song Rocky Top.

1120
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: I hate it. I hate it.

1121
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 5: Well, after you hear twelve times, you were like, Okay,

1122
00:49:58,480 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 5: that's enough.

1123
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 3: I went down to a Kentucky Tennessee football game one year,

1124
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what year. It was early two thousands,

1125
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting in the press box and I decided

1126
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna just make a little mark on my note

1127
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: count every time they play Rocky Top. And I'm not

1128
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 3: kidding you. I think it was like seventy nine times

1129
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 3: because they, you know, not the whole song, just a

1130
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: little blip, that little blip after every first down, after

1131
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 3: every point, after every spop stoppage of play. It was

1132
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: like seventy nine times. They played at the Atnland Stadium

1133
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: that day.

1134
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 5: That's amazing. I mean, I think we put the over

1135
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 5: under at twelve and that was it. I think it

1136
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 5: went way over that.

1137
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, who we got next, Darren.

1138
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 5: We're gonna try Darren again, Darren.

1139
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 4: Let's try Darren again?

1140
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 7: All right, go ahead, it is Casey from Second Creek.

1141
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 10: Darren Kung can get through on his first try, So

1142
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 10: I'm gonna give the phone to Darren.

1143
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 4: All right, Thank you Casey from Casey Creek.

1144
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 7: Hey, listen, I love, I love.

1145
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 11: We got a big wind of that.

1146
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 7: But if we're rebounding like that, out of don't say

1147
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 7: this to one far in the tournament.

1148
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 15: I'll see what your thoughts on thoughts is a better well.

1149
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Mario Williams got fifteen rebounds tonight, and I

1150
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: like him when he's in the game as far as

1151
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 3: doing the rebounding, and Tennessee is a really good rebounding team.

1152
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: They most of their offensive rebounds. I feel like, thanks

1153
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 3: for the phone call, Billy. Were like at the end

1154
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 3: of the game, I mean those last couple of minutes

1155
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 3: when they kept getting rebound after rebounding shot after shot.

1156
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, and overall the rebounding edge for Tennessee was only

1157
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 5: forty one to thirty eight. So add that to the

1158
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: minutes and Yeaentucky has the edge in rebounding.

1159
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I totally agree with you. All Right, who's next?

1160
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 5: I think it's Griggsby and Josh?

1161
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 4: Is this Shannon Griggsby?

1162
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 5: I didn't investigate. Hopefully they're still on the phone.

1163
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 4: Griggsby, are you there?

1164
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: Hey?

1165
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 21: It's a grief Bey and Josh.

1166
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 5: Okay, what's up guys?

1167
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 21: Hey, first time away game, first time caller, just crossed

1168
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 21: back into Kentucky.

1169
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 18: I've got two.

1170
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 21: Things, Pope, energy, some half maybe halfway through the first half.

1171
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 21: I think it was an out of bounds play, came

1172
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 21: close to getting the technical his I believe his energy

1173
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 21: got those guys going, you know, and then it died

1174
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 21: down there towards the end and Tennessee went on that run.

1175
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 21: Take it think he is they needed to grit a

1176
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 21: win out like that, you know, four or five losses

1177
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 21: they've been right there with with you know, good teams

1178
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 21: and just couldn't seem to get over the hump. And

1179
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 21: they gritted one out to that with two starters on

1180
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 21: the bench.

1181
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 3: YEP, appreciate it. Man be safe going home, but he

1182
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 3: he's is it Grigsby or Josh?

1183
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 4: Which every one was that we were talking to.

1184
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it was exactly right, and especially about Pope.

1185
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 3: I just happened to catch on the radio broadcast at

1186
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 3: that moment that but Josh is talking about and I

1187
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 3: think even Tom Leach said, that's about as close as

1188
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 3: you're gonna see Mark Pope get to a technical that

1189
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 3: he got so upset at that moment.

1190
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 5: I can't remember what it was. There was like a

1191
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 5: no foul called, or if it was a foul call,

1192
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 5: but yeah, he was up and jumping.

1193
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 3: Billy somebody on the pregame show named Mark Pope the

1194
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 3: Johnny Rocker role Player of the Game because of his

1195
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 3: coaching tonight that he's gone to juggle the point guard position,

1196
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 3: juggle Andrew Carr position, mix things up, try to figure

1197
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 3: out to score against Tennessee's great defense. Must have been

1198
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 3: a genius, a basketball savant to name Mark Pope as

1199
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: the Johnny Rocker role player of the.

1200
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 5: Game, which is strange because it's a role player and

1201
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 5: you're naming a coach.

1202
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 3: Well, his role tonight was to be a good coach.

1203
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 3: You don't have to be coming off the bench to

1204
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 3: be a role player. You like a Mario Williams. His

1205
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 3: role tonight was to go get all the rebounds.

1206
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, yeah, I mean maybe we've reversed that

1207
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 5: curse as well.

1208
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you it all goes back to stopping

1209
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 3: at that witch house one on my trip out to

1210
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 3: Seattle and the sage that I left in a pot

1211
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 3: of water in our airbnb.

1212
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 4: All right, who we got? Is this the last one?

1213
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 20: We got?

1214
00:53:58,600 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 5: Two?

1215
00:53:59,320 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 2: More? Okay?

1219
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,920

1220
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,960

00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 20: you all. He took me around as if he was

Speaker 20: I as part of the Big Blue Nation. I can't

1224
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 20: be any more grateful. I thought, Wow, what great guys,

1225
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 20: And I think I think I listened to the pregame

1226
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 20: show and the postgame shows and everything, and all of

1227
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 20: you all are so professional and as part of what

1228
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 20: as part of of what I think of the team,

1229
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 20: I think defense stood out tonight. I think that was

1230
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 20: mentioned several times, but I'll just listen to see what

1231
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 20: you had to say about that.

1232
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Jerry.

1233
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 4: First of all, Jerry, thank you very much for everything

1234
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,240
Speaker 4: you just said. That's awesome.

1235
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 3: You know, we love here from people like you, Jerry,

1236
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 3: So thank you very much. And we're all in it together, man.

1237
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we do a radio show, but we're fans

1238
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 3: just like everybody else.

1239
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 2: You know.

1240
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 3: We want the catch to win just like everybody else,

1241
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 3: and we get excited when they do.

1242
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 4: So glad to do that.

1243
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 3: And Jerry's right, the team that came into the game

1244
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 3: all headlines were about their defense was Tennessee yet Kentucky's

1245
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: defense tonight I think was the difference in the game. Well, yes,

1246
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: hitting shots played a big factor in Kentucky winning, but

1247
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 3: also their defense. They without Lamont Butler, they really I

1248
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 3: thought Billy played a good job on the defensive end.

1249
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously it starts with Amuri Williams and everything that

1250
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 5: he was able to do. But we we highlighted Colin Chandler,

1251
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 5: who I thought gave some great defensive minutes. They did,

1252
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 5: and you know, this was important without Lamont Butler, who

1253
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 5: is arguably your best defender. So for you to hold

1254
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 5: you know, Tennessee is not the best scoring team, but

1255
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 5: to do what you needed to do to win the game.

1256
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 5: It was impressive performance all around tonight.

1257
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 4: All right, we got one more. Who's our Josh Josh?

1258
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 19: Go ahead, Josh Josh Smith. How are you doing? Boys?

1259
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 19: On the first start by saying thank you, Billy and Ryan,

1260
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 19: y'all do a great job. Matt Jones as well, inspire

1261
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 19: you represent the state very well Kentucky, and I want

1262
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 19: to point out that BBN got a big win today

1263
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 19: and celebrate that. But on Saturday, I hope that we

1264
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 19: all come together as a state and at least respect

1265
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 19: Cali Perry. Give him a good cheer when he comes in,

1266
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 19: because without him, we could very well be in Indiana's shoes.

1267
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 19: He saved the program at the time we needed it.

1268
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 19: I want to keep that in mind. I hope everybody

1269
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 19: does and appreciates what we did. Doe. I'm excited for

1270
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 19: our new coach. The state of Kentucky as a whole,

1271
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 19: between Mark Pope and and Pat Kelsey, couldn't ask for more.

1272
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 19: As long as it's not the state of North Carolina.

1273
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 19: We're winning as a whole. We're winning as a state.

1274
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 19: And as always, God blessed and good luck with you'all

1275
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 19: show you keep killing it.

1276
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 3: Thanks Josh, appreciate it. Appreciate what you said. You know, Billy,

1277
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 3: there's three more days talk about the Arkansas game. But

1278
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 3: now that the Tennessee post game show was about to

1279
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 3: be put to bed, I can say that when the

1280
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 3: schedule came out and we saw Arkansas at UK at

1281
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 3: Roperna on February first, this day could not get here

1282
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 3: fast enough for me and most UK fans because the

1283
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 3: man that we loved and did great things here won

1284
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 3: a national championship here, went to final four, after final four,

1285
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 3: after final four, during that stretch, was coming back, but

1286
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: going to be on the opposite bench in red, not

1287
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 3: in blue. He's going to walk into that arena in red.

1288
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: But this I'm trying to look at it from his perspective.

1289
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: You know, he he loved it here. He loved I

1290
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 3: really believed it. I really believe he loved living here.

1291
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 4: He's got some very dear friends here.

1292
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: He's I know, he's excited about seeing his friends, going

1293
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: to Dunkin Donuts, sitting and to have a donut and

1294
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 3: some coffee, riding his Vespa around Chevy Chase. He was

1295
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: one of us for a long time and it's hard

1296
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 3: to forget that. But on Saturday, Billy, I want him

1297
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 3: to lose, and I want him to lose badly. I

1298
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: want him to regret leaving here, and I want him

1299
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 3: to feel bad about leaving us. Although it was probably

1300
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 3: time was right, I still want him to feel it

1301
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 3: because what we felt having to say goodbye to our coach.

1302
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on me?

1303
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 3: Because like I said, we'll we talk a lot about Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

1304
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 3: But what are your thoughts as you now that's the

1305
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 3: next game on the plates, the one we've been waiting

1306
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 3: for for months and months and months.

1307
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 5: Overall, he did right by Kentucky in a lot of ways,

1308
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 5: and even till the very end when he saved us

1309
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 5: millions of dollars by talking to the Chicken Man and

1310
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 5: eventually opening the door for somebody like Mark Pope to

1311
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 5: come in and be embraced and bring back a meeting

1312
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 5: to this fan base that it hadn't had. I'm really

1313
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 5: glad they're not coming in on a three game losing streak.

1314
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 5: I'll say that because the vibes would be very strange

1315
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 5: going into that game at Reperena. But for him to

1316
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 5: go to a team in the same conference, I think,

1317
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 5: you know, makes it fair for you to have that opinion, Ryan,

1318
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,919
Speaker 5: that that that there will be a time where cal

1319
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 5: is honored and this is part of it, but he

1320
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 5: is also going to be on the on the opposing

1321
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 5: side on Saturday.

1322
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 4: You're right, you know.

1323
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 3: Rick Patino went to the Celtics first, That's okay. We

1324
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 3: hated to lose him, but we still really liked him.

1325
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: But then he went to Louisville, went to our rival.

1326
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 3: We don't like you. Then we like Rick Patino. Now

1327
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 3: after he left Uville Louisville a couple of years, got

1328
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: away from it. When Tubby Smith left here, there were

1329
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 3: a lot of people, a lot of fans ready to

1330
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 3: run him out of town.

1331
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 4: They wanted him to leave.

1332
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 3: Ten lost Tubby, but he went to Minnesota, you know,

1333
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 3: Cali Perry's like Patino went to Arkansas. At one time

1334
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 3: in the nineties, was one of our biggest rivals.

1335
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think cal wants to prove people wrong, and

1336
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 5: I think he does. And he's got on Saturday, right.

1337
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 3: That's when he's at his best. Yeah, that's what scares

1338
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: me a little bit. That's when he's at his best

1339
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 3: to try to prove people wrong, people counting him out.

1340
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 4: So I can't wait. I can't wait for it. I'm

1341
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 4: so excited.

1342
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 3: Nine o'clock on Saturday, so our pregame show will begin

1343
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: at six thirty. People were asking me what time I

1344
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: should get to KOs Bar on Saturday. I said, when

1345
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 3: do the doors open eleven? I would get there. Then

1346
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 3: it's gonna be crazy all day in Lexington. It's gonna

1347
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: be a crazy weekend and I can't wait for it.

1348
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: Should be exciting, So that's gonna do it for the

1349
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: local total. There's KSR post game show. Cat's a winner

1350

Speaker 3: over Tennessee tonight at Tennessee seventy eight to seventy three.

Speaker 3: Siah on a college visit to Miss Saint Joseph. So

1356
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: that's why I wanted to kind of talk right now

1357
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 3: about Cali Perry. Sometimes we can't talk much on the show.
