1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local toy of dealers KSR

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: postgame show. Kentucky loses ninety eight eighty four in a

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: game where they were embarrassed for a half, fought back

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: in the second half, but a pretty bad loss on

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: the road in Oxford. Kentucky now four and five in

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: the SEC. It is only the first time since twenty

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: thirteen that they gave up as many points as they

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: did in the first half, and it's one of only

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times in the last fifteen years they've

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: gone one in four in a row in SEC play.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: The other time was twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, So look,

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: this was the first half. Is one of the worst

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Kentucky halves to start a game I can remember, you

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: know the I saw. I think it was Corey Price

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: said the last time we were down twenty three in

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: the first half SEC play was to Tennessee in twenty thirteen,

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: and that actually was the game that as I was watching,

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: I thought of that was the last time I remember

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: watching Kentucky play a game and thinking we are just

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: not even in it. And that was the game after

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Nerlins Noel got hurt and even though we didn't have

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: anyone new get hurt in the last game. That Nerlins

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: Noel loss was kind of a uh oh, this season's

24
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: in trouble. And I wonder if the Arkansas game had

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: a little of a similar effect, at least for a

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: half now. Unlike that Tennessee game, Kentucky fought back, got

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it as close as eleven, but you let a team

28
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: score ninety eight, you're not gonna win. Kind of some

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: unbelievable numbers in this game. Ole Miss only had one turnover,

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: one turnover. It's only the second time since nineteen ninety

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: that a team has played a game in the SEC

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: and only had one turnover. And it's a testament to

33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the big storyline from the game, which is our defense

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: is right now awful. Second half it was a little better.

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Ole Miss made some difficult shots, but we are lost

36
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: on defense. Part of it. I think fifty percent of

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: it is athleticism. You know, earlier this year, even when

38
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: we were good, I said, and I didn't think it

39
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: was controversial, but people sort of took it that way

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: that this was the least athletic team in the SEC.

41
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: And I still think and I think that's true, and

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: I think most people would now agree that we just

43
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: don't have great athletes on the team, and there's nothing

44
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: any of those guys can do about that. I mean,

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: you know they are the athletes, they are so fifty

46
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: percent of it. I don't know that you can fix.

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a couple guys on this team

48
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: that they're not going to be able to stay in

49
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: front of their man one on one no matter what.

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: But the other fifty percent I do think is if

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: not fixable, should be an improvement. Is they just they

52
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: get lost, they make odd decisions, and there's a hustle

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: factor that just isn't there that I don't understand. There

54
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: were thirteen points scored out of the first thirty that

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: were big men shooting wide open shots where the big

56
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: man gardening three times tomorrow twice Garrison didn't even get

57
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: a hand up, I mean didn't even get a hand up,

58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: and not surprisingly, all thirteen were nothing but net. The

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: defense in the first half, I'm not sure when I

60
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: can remember Kentucky plane worse defense. Offensively, we scored eighty four,

61
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: but once again, I still don't think take enough threes

62
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: only to twenty five. I looked it up. Kentucky has

63
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: taken thirty threes in only three of the nine SEC games.

64
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: If you remember, Pope said thirty to thirty five as

65
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: a goal every game, we've hit it three times, and

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 1: I think more damningly, we have given up six six

67
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: of the nine games, the other team has made more

68
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: threes than us. Earlier this year, we led the nation

69
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: in three point shooting, and we now only three of

70
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: the nine games. Forget about percentage, only three of the

71
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: nine games have we even made more than the other team.

72
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win like that. I mean, We're just

73
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: not gonna win like that. And I don't know, I

74
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: don't know what we do about it. We look lost

75
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: on defense, and we all too often look lost on

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: offense with any ball pressure ball pressure is killing this team.

77
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: And a big part of that is you don't have

78
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: a point guard. You don't have Lamont Butler. But if

79
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you listen to Mark Pope talk, he doesn't talk like

80
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: a guy who thinks he's gonna get Butler back. He

81
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: was asked about it tonight and he said something like,

82
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: we got to figure out how to be better now

83
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: without Butler. Hopefully we get Butler back. I still think

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: we will, But you know what happens until then, it's frustrating.

85
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, Amari Williams made history tonight with a triple double.

86
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's only the fourth one in the history

87
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: of the school. And by the way, Billy, what an

88
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: absurd group of names on our triple double list? Chris Mills,

89
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: dearon Fox, Isaiah Briscoe and Amar Williams. Is that not

90
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: wild that those are the four people? I mean, it's

91
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: that is a wild list. But Amari joins the list tonight,

92
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and kudos to the kid on the pregame show who

93
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: predicted it. Yeah, I mean, Mason, what are the odds

94
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: you could have gotten on a triple double before or

95
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: the game when there's only been three in the history

96
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: of the school. But he got it. Unfortunately it's for

97
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: not because of the loss. So Amari played well, although

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: still I don't know what I don't know what it

99
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: is about him putting his not putting his hands up

100
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: on defense, but on offense, he had a great night.

101
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Jackson Robinson played well, Otaga Oway played really well in

102
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the second half. But it's too little, too late. If

103
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: we're giving up ninety eight to teams, we're not gonna win.

104
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: And you know, Mark Pope. He sounds like a guy

105
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: that isn't what it's not. Sounds like he said, we

106
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: don't really know what to do. I give him credit

107
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: for honesty, but that's not the most confidence inducing thing

108
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: in the world. But I do give him credit for

109
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: honesty on that. But they got to figure something out.

110
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sitting here, I'm looking at the schedule,

111
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: right so we are fit. I am shifting my thought

112
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: process for these last nine games. I'm kind of shifting

113
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: my process to let's just I sound like cal, let's

114
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: just get to March. But I do think it's worth

115
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: noting March is not assured. We are fifteen and seven.

116
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: We do have as good as wins as anybody, so

117
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: if it's closed, we'll get in. I think if you're

118
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: nineteen and twelve, you're almost certainly in twenty. You're definitely

119
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen, you're almost certainly in, and you might even

120
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: be in with eighteen. But I think you need nineteen

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: or twenty to be sure. So let's look at the schedule.

122
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: You play South Carolina Saturday. Billy must win, right, have

123
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: to win.

124
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have a win in the SEC.

125
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: They don't have a win in the SEC. You lose

126
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: that game all of a sudden, like it's a whole

127
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: different thing. Gotta win that, we get you to sixteen.

128
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: You later play Vandy at home. I know you lost

129
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: to them, but you gotta beat them at home. That

130
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: would be seventeen. And then you later play LSU at home.

131
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: That would be eighteen. Now, those are three games against

132
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: teams that if you don't beat those at home, those

133
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: are bad, terrible losses. I'm gonna assume they get all those.

134
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: That's eighteen. That might get you in. But let's say

135
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: you need another one, Billy, because I think nineteen is

136
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: for sure. Eighteen you're shaky, all right, Let's say you

137
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: can need nineteen. Let me give you the rest of them.

138
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: Tennessee at home at Texas, at Alabama, Auburn at home,

139
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma at Missouri. I mean, none of those are gimmes,

140
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: and none of those I did. I'm gonna go so

141
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: far as to say, I don't know if except the

142
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: Oklahoma game, I'm not sure we'll be favored in any

143
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: of those games. I bet we won't actually, So you know,

144
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: while I still think it's much more likely than not

145
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: that they're in the tournament. And once they're in the tournament,

146
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: especially if Butler's back, I think they can beat most

147
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: any team. It's not certain as far as the SEC tournament.

148
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, this year the field changes. We will have

149
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: four games on Wednesday, which means teams nine through sixteen

150
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: will play on Wednesday. And as of now, we would

151
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: be playing on Wednesday, because right now we are in

152
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: tenth place in the SEC. And again you look at

153
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: that schedule, you know, the chances of us playing on

154
00:09:52,640 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday are greater than what thirty percent? You know, I

155
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: think it's I think unless you're five hundred in the SEC,

156
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: you're probably playing on Wednesday. So I'm shifting my brain

157
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: a little bit too. My hopes when conference place started,

158
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: come in the top four in the SEC, get a

159
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: double by get a top three or four seed so

160
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: that you get placed in a region that's closer to

161
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: your home. I'm kind of putting all that aside. I

162
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: think the loss to Andy and the loss to Arkansas

163
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: took that off the table. So now we just for me,

164
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: need to start playing significantly better. Beat these teams. We're

165
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: supposed to get some of these the other six I said,

166
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: get a couple of them, whichever couple you can get,

167
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: get them, and then go to March, hope we're as

168
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: healthy as we've been, and then play with the same

169
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: kind of aggression and no fear to lose that Arkansas

170
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: did on Saturday, because you know the team that played Deny.

171
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not doing anything if it's that team.

172
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: But a week ago we won in Knoxville. So I'm

173
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: not giving up. I see people giving up. I'm not

174
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: giving up. But we gotta find a way. We can't

175
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: have performances. We lost that game tonight in like the

176
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: first six minutes. We can't keep having that happen. And

177
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: hopefully Pope and his staff will start being able to

178
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: come up with a plan to change it, because right now,

179
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: what's happening in these last two games is not working.

180
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: Eight five, nine, two, twenty two, eighty seven will take

181
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: your calls. I'm gonna try to have a little bit

182
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: of fun because starting at midnight, I can't eat again

183
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: until Thursday at like oh yeah, and so I'm gonna

184
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: eat like one candy bar right before bed. I don't

185
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: eat after like seven o'clock. It's like, you know a

186
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: way to like lose what right?

187
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: Right?

188
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: But I'm eating Tony because I can't eat for a

189
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: long time.

190
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: You canna be angry tomorrow?

191
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Wait till Thursday show. Yeah, exactly. We'll be right back.

192
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Welcome back.

193
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Hey,

194
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: f I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

195
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Let's just get started, Billy. It was no fun night,

196
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: so let's just get the phone. Who's up first, Let's

197
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: go to Wes. Wes, go ahead, Hey, what's up?

198
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: Matt Jones? First off, you guys are also I wanted

199
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: to say something. I normally call it a different name.

200
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm calling today with my actual name because I am

201
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: going to be critical and I think you, you know,

202
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: out of respect. I'm going to use my real name

203
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: because I'm going to be critical with you guys, and

204
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: you know, if you'll give me that chance. At Louisville,

205
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 3: the reason why they went to where they are is

206
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: because I think it wasn't just the Tino was the

207
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: worst person in the world. I think he was allowed

208
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: to just be not not questioned, not not not spoken against,

209
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: and that builds and builds and builds and that's kind

210
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: of where we are in the country and everything. To

211
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: be honest, and right now we're in a situation where

212
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: I can't like Mark Pope because I do. But the

213
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: last thing just coaching.

214
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: But who's saying you can't be critical? I hang on,

215
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: hang on when no one has. First of all, I

216
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: don't go to the press conference, so I can't ask

217
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: any questions. I've been very critical. I literally started this

218
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: segment by saying, that's one of the worst games has

219
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: defensively that I can remember. So of course you can

220
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: ask you a question. So I mean, I don't know.

221
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: That's not fair to say no one's being critical. I'm

222
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,119
Speaker 1: not there to ask my pope because I'm not in Oxford,

223
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: because I'm doing things like this show. But I am

224
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: being critical and and to some people I'm being of

225
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: course you can, but that's just not fair to say

226
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: no one's being.

227
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: Critical and you're one hundred percent right if that is

228
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: what I was saying that let me respond because I

229
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: have written down the first thing you started your show

230
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: on was you you told the fan base that you

231
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: believe that fifty percent of the reason that we are

232
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: bad at defense because of athleticism and you're so you're

233
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: you're telling me right now, that's how you started to

234
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: show mat.

235
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: But I believe that that's not that's Roberts. I believe

236
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: that no, Jackson Robinson is not hang on, Jackson Robinson

237
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: is not a great athlete. He's he's good, he's a

238
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: good athlete. But Kobe Braya, Ansley Almanor, Travis Perry, Trent

239
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: and Noah Brandon Brandon Garrison should be a good athlete.

240
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: He's just not a good defender. Okay, But but that

241
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're great athletes. I mean, Jimmy, I'm not

242
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: the only one said that. Jimmy Dyke said during the game,

243
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: we have an athletic disadvantage at almost every position without Butler,

244
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: and I agree with that. Amari's really the only one. Yes,

245
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: of course they of course.

246
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: They'll that that I do not agree with. But hey,

247
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: we're allowed, We're allowed to disagree.

248
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: How do you explain how do you explain them beating

249
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: us off the dribble play after play if we're if

250
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: you're if by the way, saying they're not good athletes

251
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: is not an excuse, it's just a reality. No, it's

252
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: not because he recruited him and if he's going to

253
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: have a team of guys in our athletes, But that's

254
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: but that's different than saying they're not an athlete. Does

255
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: not mean that you are absolving the theme. He recruited

256
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: the team. He has to he has to create a

257
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: defense around what he has and right now it's not happening.

258
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: But that but I can't just say these are great

259
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: athletes when some of them can barely dunk.

260
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's a stretch. And but I will

261
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: say I agree with you. You know I'm not. I

262
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: just said that's how you started the show, and the

263
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: show should have started with, Hey, let's be real here.

264
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Like the last four games, some of the coaching decisions

265
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: and just pure coaching, it has just been astronomically bad.

266
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: And I.

267
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: Can't make him come on the show.

268
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right, and I wish he would. You're right,

269
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: that's right, that's one hundred right, you're right. But I

270
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: would say, I do know that you guys have the

271
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: biggest you know, y'all have the you have a bigger spectrum.

272
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: Then you know that's because you've earned that. This show

273
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: deserves it and it's awesome. So I just wish you know.

274
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: I was at the Article game and I left, and

275
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: I remember me and my dad were talking and he

276
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: never gets critical, and I was like, man, why can't

277
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: they ask Like I'm at the game and I watched

278
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 3: Brea and Amar and then come in to check in

279
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: in a TV timeout, and the entire fan they went

280
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 3: up in cheers because they were like, finally, thank you

281
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: put these players back in the gate.

282
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: Can Okay, I appreciate the call. I get it. I was,

283
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not exactly sure what your first call

284
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: is about me and what we're saying or we're not.

285
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: We were very critical of the decision to play Chandler

286
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: and those guys as much as they did the last game.

287
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: But if objectively, the reason we can't play defense man

288
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: demand is that our guys are not good defenders. But

289
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: that's not an excuse to give up ninety eight points.

290
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean again, athlete is fifty percent of it. But

291
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: did we Billy have better athletes than Saint Peter's in Oakland? Yes? Yes,

292
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: and we lost. You know why because our athletes didn't

293
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: play well and they out schemed us. Mark Pope has

294
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: has And I'm not even being hugely critical of him.

295
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: I think he got the team he could get considering

296
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: everything happened. But we have to create a defense for

297
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: this team. And if we put Kobe Brea on an

298
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: island with a guy that's five eleven and fast, he

299
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: is going to give up basket after basket. And that's

300
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: what happened a lot of the game. So you know,

301
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's play zone, but they went zone, and they

302
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: gave up a wide open quarter three. And I love

303
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Carr, but he was playing zone with the back

304
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: to the guy in the corner. That ain't gonna work.

305
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know who's next.

306
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 5: What a start good, Let's switch gears a little bit.

307
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 5: Good Glow Girl is next Glow Girl?

308
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I will say. By the way, his point though about

309
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: how you can love a coach or like a coach

310
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: and still be critical of him, I agree with that.

311
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: That was my frustration with some of our fan base

312
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: during the end of the Callier is like you couldn't

313
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: criticize it, or you were like didn't support the team.

314
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: You can be critical of Pope and still think he's

315
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: the guy for the job. That is totally fair. Go ahead,

316
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: glogut globe guys.

317
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 6: That what you girl, Girl, Glow Girl.

318
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 7: Okay, I just I was at the game, and first

319
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 7: of all, I disagree with Jack Kilgrim acting like the

320
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 7: atmosphere was substandard or whatever word he used, because it

321
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 7: was packed the lower bow. It was so loud my

322
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 7: ears of ringing by the time I left. They played

323
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 7: music the whole time, their student athlete, their student section

324
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 7: goes three ways around the arena, and some seats were

325
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 7: empty in the upper level, but the lower level was full.

326
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 7: They were loud, they were fast. It was a beautiful

327
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 7: new arena. And the other thing I want to say

328
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 7: is they we can't shoot threes when they're constantly taking

329
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 7: us out of the position, like they were guarding so

330
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 7: well that we can't just lob up a bunch of

331
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 7: threes when they're not open.

332
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Well you can, however, you can, and we did this

333
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: in the second half. You can create hard back door

334
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: cuts which leads to drives to the basket, which when

335
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: they then cut off the drive, you can kick out

336
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: the shooters. We did that a lot in the second half,

337
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: and it worked. In the first half, we did none

338
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: of that. We had guys try to go on one.

339
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: We tried to force it into the post and a

340
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff didn't work, uh huh, and we

341
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of what I mean, we missed like

342
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: seven or eight layups.

343
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 7: Well, that's so frustrating. That was last year too, but

344
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 7: that's the most frustrating that those layups they miss and

345
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 7: those hook shots they miss. Then they tried. I mean,

346
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 7: but when you say, well, and I look on Twitter

347
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 7: and it makes me sad because everyone's saying they aren't trying,

348
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 7: they aren't trying. They looked like they were gave a

349
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 7: lot more in the second half, but even in the

350
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 7: first half, they're doing what they can do.

351
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 8: You know, they work hard.

352
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 7: And I go to all the home games and I've

353
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 7: gone to some of the away games, so I do

354
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 7: hate to hear the criticism that they're not trying hard.

355
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 7: Maybe they just can't help. But like you say, because

356
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 7: I've called.

357
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they try. There's a difference between trying.

358
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 1: It's hard to articulate. I think they tried. It's not

359
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: like I think these dudes are like quitters. Difference between

360
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: trying though, And let me give example. This was one

361
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: play probably nobody remembers it. There's a play towards the

362
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: end of the half there was a loose ball. It

363
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: got knocked. It was right at the top of the

364
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: key on our offensive end. Jackson Robinson, who I love

365
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: and if if we didn't have Jackson Robinson, we might

366
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: not win another game this year. So this is he's

367
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: He might be my favorite player on the team. So

368
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: this is not a not saying anything bad about him,

369
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: but he there was a loose ball and he reached

370
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: for it and you could almost see he could either

371
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: put his shoulder down and go grab it, or he

372
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: could reach for it. He reached. Old Miss guy came

373
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: and grabbed Old Miss guy got it lay up. If

374
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: Robinson does that, he gets it. He stopped. It was

375
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: like he saw contact and he said, I'm stopping before

376
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: this contact and contact got the ball because old Miss

377
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: did it. I think our guys do that a lot.

378
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: It's like they shy from that final moment of aggression

379
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: that will go get you the ball, and I think

380
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: that hurts us a lot.

381
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, well, thank you very much, thank you glo girl.

382
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, do we you have to

383
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: play as as Pope I think said in the game

384
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: early this year, like your hair's on fire. Go back

385
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: and watch how Arkansas played Saturday night. That's what they did.

386
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: They play and which is crazy because oftentimes I didn't.

387
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: I thought Cow's teams didn't do that at Kentucky. This

388
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: team was playing like that earlier in the year and

389
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: in the first half. Now, I thought in the second

390
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: half we did do it, but we were down too much.

391
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: But in the first half we just we didn't do it.

392
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: And then you throw in you know, I think Oway

393
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: missed three shots at the rim. I don't know what

394
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: the garrison back to the basket hook shots are. I mean,

395
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: those aren't going to go in ever. I mean we

396
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: did that on three or four plays in a row.

397
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 5: I didn't there's a ten second call in the first half.

398
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: It was yeah, walked it up the court, walked it in.

399
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean Chandler picked the ball up into a trap.

400
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: It's like, what, all right, what's next?

401
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: Taylor?

402
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Taylor, go ahead, Taylor?

403
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 4: Hey, mad I'm struggling with two words tonight, and those

404
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 4: are expectations and perception. My obviously, our expectations are final fours, championships,

405
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: certainly not being down by twenty three and.

406
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 8: A half in the SEC.

407
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 4: My perception is colored a little bit by the fact

408
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: that the last time we had a new head coach

409
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: it was John Walla, de Marcus Cousins, Eric Bludsoe.

410
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

411
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 4: And now I'm looking at the schedule a little bit

412
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 4: and frankly, I see eighteen nineteen wins twenty maybe, yeah,

413
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: And so I'm kind of.

414
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: A much touch tougher, much tougher. You're exactly right, much tougher,

415
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: exactly right. I went back before the before the Arkansas game,

416
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: I watched that clip. I think we've talked about it.

417
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: It was an hour and twenty minutes of one score

418
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: from every UK game that we won during the cal Era.

419
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: And one of the things that struck me is how

420
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: bad the SEC was during some of those years, Like

421
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: we were beaten teams five million. It's a much tougher SEC.

422
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: If this, if we were in the ACC right now,

423
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: we'd have gimme games. There just aren't many gimme games

424
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: in this league right now.

425
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: No one I agree with that. But but that our

426
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: present is the reality, and so I don't wonder what

427
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: the expectation being what it is, how do we view

428
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 4: this team if if, in fact what plays out looks

429
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: like it's going to with you know, eighteen nineteen twenty wins,

430
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: you're looking at a seven, eight, nine seed, and then

431
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 4: you don't depends.

432
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: On what happened. I think it depends how it depends

433
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: on what happens in March, right, I mean, so let's

434
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: say let's say we win nine. Let's say we win nineteen,

435
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: and we're nineteen and twelve. We go down the SEC tournament.

436
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Let's say we win two games, which in some years

437
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: would have gotten us to the finals, but this year

438
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: might only get us to Friday, right, and then so

439
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: we go in the tournament with twenty one wins. Let's

440
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: say we're with that record of eight seed. We win

441
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: that game, and then we play Iowa State in the

442
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: second round. The reality is how that Iowa State going

443
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: game goes, my friend, is probably how we look at

444
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: the year, right, I mean it is.

445
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: It is an Anthony Davis and Julius Randall and the

446
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 4: Harrison Twins aren't coming. I guess no they're not.

447
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: They're not. But remember about the Julius Randall. Remember about

448
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: the Julius Randall year. Awesome year. If James Young misses

449
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: that three, we lose in the second round, and then

450
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: how do we look at the year.

451
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 4: We looked terrible. I was there, but it was awesome.

452
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's that's really to some extent, when you're

453
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: not dominant, how you look at the year is gonna

454
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: be like, what do you remember of the Jamal Murray

455
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: Tyler less years?

456
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 4: Indiana?

457
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: You remember losing to Indiana? Right, Like, that's what you remember,

458
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's kind of how these things go,

459
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: is that, you know. And I'm as guilty as anybody.

460
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: The Saint Peter's year, we were a two seed. We

461
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: were good. But what we're gonna remember, say Peters, you know, so,

462
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean on to some respera, to some respects, and

463
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Unless your team is dominant, like

464
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the John Waal team, or like the twenty fifteen team,

465
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: or even like the twenty seventeen team, you're inevitably gonna

466
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: look through the lens of how it ended as to

467
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: how you judge it. I thought this team had a

468
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: chance to go twenty five and six, and even if

469
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: we got upset in the tournament, people say, wow, that

470
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: was still a heck of a year. Man, that was fun. Well,

471
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if people will look at it like

472
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: that if we're nineteen and twelve, So then it's just

473
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna be what we do in March. And I don't

474
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: think it has any judgment on what's gonna happen for

475
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Pope in the future, because he had a month to

476
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: build this roster, and unlike cal he didn't have four

477
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: five star guys already committed to him at another school.

478
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's different because I think in large

479
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: part because the Butler injury, we'd just changed the way

480
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: things are going. Let's do one more and we'll take

481
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: a break.

482
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: Who's Nathan?

483
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: Nathan?

484
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: Go ahead, and Nathan, I'm at a long time list,

485
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: their first time caller.

486
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: Who are What's up?

487
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: So I was at the game.

488
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 4: Tonight and I want to say I really liked the

489
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 4: effort that we gave the second half.

490
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: I think starting out and.

491
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 6: They could have just dropped the bomb and kind of

492
00:28:59,560 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 6: given up.

493
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 9: Saw a lot of a lot of strength in those

494
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 9: back door cuts, like you were saying, I think there's

495
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 9: hope there.

496
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 10: But it's been seemed to be a trend in the

497
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 10: past few games and when teams are pressing us super

498
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 10: high on the corner, we can't get those threes off,

499
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 10: especially in the first half.

500
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: It takes us super.

501
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: Long to adjust. I just don't know what we should

502
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: what needs to be done about that.

503
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either. I mean I I I you know,

504
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: there's probably a part of it, and I appreciate the

505
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: call that when what what did Old Miss shooting the

506
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: first half? Billy? Sixty five percent? I mean a lot

507
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: of that's because we helped them, but you know, they

508
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: hit when they hit threes like that, we're probably gonna

509
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: lose either way.

510
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: But sixty percent sixty two.

511
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: It was frustrating to me about the first is that

512
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: we were down twenty three. It felt like we were

513
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: never in it. We were down twenty three, and in

514
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: some ways, Billy, I feel like we were lucky to

515
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: be down twenty three.

516
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 5: But you know, like zero turnovers in the first half

517
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 5: and Old Miss one in the game.

518
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: That's it's unpressible.

519
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy. It's it's and and some of it's

520
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: a lot of it's them, but some of it was us,

521
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: and we were just bad. And you know, I do

522
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: I like Mark Pope said, there are no moral victories

523
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: at Kentucky. There are That was unacceptable. If it's the

524
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: biggest halftime deficit since twenty thirteen. That's bad. We'll take

525
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: a break and be right back. It's a Local Toy

526
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: Dealers KSR postgame show. Welcome back. It is the Local

527
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,840

528
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: in a long time, Billy, and I just ate the

529
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: first bike. That was really good.

530
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: You're not yourself when you're hungry.

531
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: You know. I can't eat these because then I'll get

532
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: big again. Because those are really good.

533
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: No, I'm serious, and you've got discipline.

534
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 5: You can have a Snickers every now and then, right,

535
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, semi clusters.

536
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm I'm like that, that's not true, not anymore.

537
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: I eat like I like literally don't eat more than

538
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: like six a day, like and I mean like six clusters.

539
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 5: Not six bags like six clusters.

540
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean I've lost you don't give me any crowd,

541
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of weight.

542
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: No, I'll give you a lot of credit. You have

543
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: lost a lot of weight.

544
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: That's why I can't eat these because they're too good.

545
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm only doing it for myself tonight because I because

546
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, people are saying, there's no way I'm gonna

547
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: be able to do the show on Thursday. I'm doing it.

548
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm just not doing it at the bar.

549
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 5: Well, you know, the bathroom's not really close here either.

550
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 5: All right, you gotta run through multiple doors down a hallway.

551
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I'll make it work. Don't you worry about me? Who's

554
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 11: Billy, stop body shaming Matt Jones on the area.

555
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: No kidding, like you can't. I had my physical last

556
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: week and I was twenty three pounds less than the

557
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: last time I was in there. And that's still not

558
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: good enough for Billy think about him.

559
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 11: But go ahead, Billy, come on, Hey, a couple of

560
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 11: things guys. First, I'm still I'm still mad at Reed Sheepherd.

561
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 11: I'm still hurt. But he did a big He had

562
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 11: a big night tonight, sixteen points, seven rebounds.

563
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: Reach Eperd did well. Good for him. He still shouldn't

564
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: warn that shirt. Still shouldn't warn the shirt.

565
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 11: Absolutely. Hey, I'm curious what your thoughts are on what

566
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 11: you think Mark Pope's mindset is right now.

567
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: This is kind of tough.

568
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 11: The honeymoon has kind of war worn.

569
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: He knows it. And the thing is, he knows this

570
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: is what's tough. This is what's gotta be tough for Mark.

571
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: Mark knows so much about this that he can't like

572
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: delude himself. You know, like if you've been to karaoke

573
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 1: and you hear some woman or man get up there

574
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: and sing and can't sing, but they believe they can sing.

575
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: In their mind they're killing it, but they're not. Yeah,

576
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: sometimes I envy those people. It's like it doesn't matter,

577
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: they still feel like they're killing it. Mark knows. Mark

578
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: knows because like he's he knows how we feel. He's

579
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: not listening to this show, but he knows what these

580
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: calls are, and that's got to make it tough.

581
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

582
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 11: I think the loss to cal personally for him probably

583
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 11: had to be really difficult because I think that's a

584
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 11: big kind of monkey on his back that he has

585
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 11: to get off almost for his own confidence. And I

586
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 11: don't know him, but I'm just I'm projecting that, and

587
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 11: I think that that likely is really difficult for both

588
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 11: Mark Pope and honestly John Cali Perry because John Calli

589
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 11: Perry is going to be continue to be hated by

590
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 11: the fan base because because he won honestly.

591
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: For honestly, it's weird. It's weird. If Mark had won,

592
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: I think things would have been better at least with

593
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: the Kentucky fan base for both of them, you know

594
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. Now, it wouldn't have I mean, cal

595
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: still wanted to win, and it's better for the Arkansas

596
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: fan base that he would. But for the Kentucky fan base,

597
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: I think if Pope had won, both of them would

598
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: have been better off. But that's the way it goes.

599
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 11: And to speak to speak to the expectations to the

600
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 11: caller talked about about, you know, Caler Perry's first team

601
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 11: had John Wall and all that stuff. I do not

602
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 11: miss John Caller Perry for a minute. I appreciate the honesty,

603
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 11: the in depth analysis from our coach. Now, the care

604
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 11: he gets it. I know he's feeling the pressure right now.

605
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 11: He should feel the pressure, but I I'm just eager

606
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 11: to see now how like this is kind of when

607
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 11: a coach is made right when you kind of get

608
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 11: everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face.

609
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 11: And so he's lost two point guards and so now

610
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 11: now what is this going to look like for him?

611
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 11: I'm kind of I'm kind of excited to see, honestly,

612
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 11: which way it goes. I'm worried. I'm kind of worried

613
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 11: right now that it could go south.

614
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: But that Mark's story, and I appreciate the call. Mark's

615
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: story wrote in The Hair Leader that you don't become

616
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: the Kentucky coach until your adversity. If that's true, then

617
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: here it is. Right here it is, I do think

618
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: when I'm coming Pope, though, I don't think it's fair

619
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: to compare him to the first year of Cal. Cal

620
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: just took the team he was gonna have at Memphis,

621
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: which was already full of five stars, and brought him here.

622
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: And then he added Patrick Patterson, who I was pretty good,

623
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: right and Darius Miller. This is a different situation. Pope

624
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: didn't recruit five stars to be with you, and he

625
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: only was able to bring one guy from his team

626
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: last year. Now, the portal makes it easier in some

627
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: ways than what Cal had to do, But he didn't

628
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: get to say, hey, John Wall DeMarcus Cousins, we're just

629
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: moving to a different location. He did do that at Arkansas,

630
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: So I think it would be fair actually to compare

631
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: his first year at Kentucky with his first year at Arkansas.

632
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: But for Pope, this is a lot more like Rick's

633
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: first year. In some ways he's having to start over,

634
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: and in some way he's done amazingly well. But we've

635
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: now had some clunkers too, And that's weird. That's a

636
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: weird dichotomy. Who's next, Donnie, Donnie, go ahead, Donnie.

637
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm sitting beside the road up in my holler

638
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 10: and fifth passes from when I get home, Man, I'm

639
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 10: going to have two hot dogs and I'm going to

640
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 10: have a cake.

641
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: Okay, And why why two hot dogs?

642
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 10: Well, it's in your honor. I think what You're trying

643
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 10: to lose weight and.

644
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to see Billy, why did you take

645
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: my weight? Part of this conversation, Like by the way,

646
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: like what what is that about? Billy?

647
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't remember bringing that up. I

648
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: think I'm trying.

649
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I have a colonoscopy Thursday. This is the reason I

650
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: have to haveay Thursday. This is not about like a

651
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: weight loss or team. I don't get to eat tomorrow

652
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: because I have to do there.

653
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 10: My deepest apologies, but I'll still have the hot dogs

654
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 10: in Okay, listen, this is so simple. My gosh, you

655
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 10: are playing in the most athletic conference, probably in the

656
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 10: world other than the NBA. I mean, these teams, listen,

657
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 10: they can they're athletes, but they're athletes who are ballplayers.

658
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 10: They can jump, they can shoot, they have the first

659
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 10: step on you. They will get the loose ball, they

660
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 10: will get the rebound. Mighty Kentucky comes to town. They

661
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 10: are hungry. That is why this Kentucky team is in

662
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 10: the position that it's in. Make no mistake if you don't,

663
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 10: if you don't basketball, you know that he's This league

664
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 10: is all about athletes every team. They will kick your butt.

665
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 10: They're good. They can shoot, they can run, they can

666
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 10: dun't they can do it at all. They're not only athletes,

667
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:19,479
Speaker 10: they are basketball players. Now that being said, I wish

668
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 10: you would come in on that. And and here's my question.

669
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 10: We don't have a point guard right now. Yeah, Robinson

670
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 10: is very uncomfortable with the ball. I think or other

671
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 10: two guard old way he is. He is good off

672
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 10: of a pass. I don't think he can he doesn't

673
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 10: have that.

674
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: He's a huge Yeah, he's not a huge offensive talent,

675
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: so it makes it hard for him, Like Jackson, Robinson

676
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: create his own shot. But you're right, he doesn't want

677
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: to be he's not. He done like one hundred comfortable

678
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: as a point guard.

679
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 10: Okay, here's my question to you. Here's my question to you.

680
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 10: I don't think we have have a point guard right now.

681
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 10: And you know more about this than I do. You know,

682
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 10: I'm very tempted to throw Purry out there.

683
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: And all right, he played all right tonight. I appreciate

684
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: the call. He played all right tonight, and he was aggressive,

685
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: but he was also playing against a dude that was

686
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: closer to his high you know. He he did not

687
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: fare as well against the Arkansas guards for a couple

688
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: of minutes he played. Then, Yes, Perry, I think there

689
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: are games that can work. I actually thought he played

690
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: pretty well in the minutes he played in the first half.

691
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: To your point on the athletes, we are the most

692
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: unathletic team in the in the SEC. We just are.

693
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: We just are now. I think we are more skilled

694
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: than all but a couple of the teams, but we

695
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: are the most unathletic team. And we're not used to

696
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: that because in the col years we were either the

697
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: most athletic team or like the second most athletic team

698
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: every year. Well now it's the exact opposite, and so

699
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, long term, we'll have to see can you

700
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: win in the SEC. Because the thing about the SEC is,

701
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: even when the guys weren't talented, they were always great athletes.

702
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: The SEC has had great athletes my entire life. The

703
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: talent's coming gone, but the athleticism has always been there.

704
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: Pope tends to not recruit like that. How's that gonna work.

705
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: We'll see next year. He's already got better athletes coming

706
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: in than we have this year. But we'll see. But

707
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: this year it is what it is like. You know

708
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: how many dudes on this team, Billy are as athletic.

709
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Think about last year's Kentucky team, Rob Dillingham, Reed Shephard,

710
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: Justin Edwards, DJ Wagner, Aaron Bradshaw. Think about those guys.

711
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: Antonio Reeves was good. Antonio Reeves might be the best

712
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: athlete on the team if he was on the team

713
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 1: this year and he was the worst athlete last year.

714
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Like, it's just a different team,

715
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: and so we have to That's why we have to

716
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: make shots. That's why we have to outscheme people, because

717
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: we're not gonna out athlete people.

718
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they could use a Trey Mitchell too.

719
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean per Antonio Reeves was probably like

720
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: the eighth best athlete on the team last year, and

721
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: he might be the best athlete on this team except

722
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: maybe Oway. So it's just different. And so it's like

723
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: we and for us Kentucky fans, we Kentucky man, We've

724
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: just not seen a team like this here. It's fun

725
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: when it's rolling. Think about the Duke game and the

726
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: Florida game and all that, the Gonzaga game. But tonight

727
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: it was tough to watch. Eight five nine two eight

728
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: zero twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break

729
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: and be right back for the final segments. The Local

730
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: Toy Dealers k I saw our postgame show Welcome back

731
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: final segment. It is a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show.

732
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: If I'm nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven, Thank

733
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: you all for listening and calling in. We got five

734
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: people on. Let's do them and then we'll get ready

735
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: for tomorrow and hope we can forget about this game.

736
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 1: This won't be one that will stick in the memory banks,

737
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: at least for me. What's next, Jonathan Jonathan, Although it

738
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: was history, Actually I say we won't remember. We probably

739
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: will believe because we're the triple double. Yeah yeah, I

740
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: mean because of the triple double and then a rare

741
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight what do they call it? Trillion? Basically, Ansley

742
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: Almonor and Trent Noah both played more than ten minutes.

743
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: Ansley Almanor fifteen minutes, Trent Noah thirteen minutes. Neither one

744
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: of them had a stat got a single one all zeros.

745
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Just for the last Kentucky player to play

746
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: more than seven minutes and have all zeros was Perry

747
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: Stevenson in two thousand and nine played nine minutes. So

748
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: we had two guys tonight have all zero for stats

749
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: with more minutes than Perry Stevenson. First time that's happened

750
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: in twenty years, and it happened twice in one game.

751
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: That's wild. All right, Go ahead, Jonathan, Jonathan, Go ahead, Jonathan.

752
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt quick, couple questions here. You were talking about

753
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 9: seeding earlier, and even after the Arkansas lost, ESPN's Joe

754
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 9: Lenardi he has a still has a three seed today

755
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 9: and then also just you know, just you know, curious

756
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 9: as to you know, I'm curious in the fact that

757
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 9: won't the committee evaluate Kentucky's resume differently with Lamart Butler

758
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 9: being out.

759
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: So the first question is, yes, you're right about that,

760
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: and that's why I mean normally, if you went, say

761
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: nineteen and twelve, you would not be a seven seed.

762
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: You'd be in like the first four. But the reason

763
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: we would be, I think is because of how good

764
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: the SEC is and how good our resume is with

765
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler. Here's what they'll do, because I've been on

766
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: this mock committee. They will look at our record and

767
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: if our record with Lamont Butler is significantly different than

768
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: without him and he's playing, then yes they will consider it. If, however,

769
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: he comes back and we go like two and two,

770
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: then it probably won't make that much difference. Does that

771
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: make sense? So if they can look at a gap

772
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: on our record and go, well, they were one and

773
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: eight when he was gone, but the rest of the

774
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 1: time they were this, then yes, they will consider that.

775
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: It might move us up like one seed line.

776
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 9: I understand that, and my you know, it'll be interesting

777
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 9: to see. I think next Saturday is when the committee

778
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 9: does their top sixteen seeds that they reveal, So that

779
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 9: means we have South Carolina and Tennessee but the two

780
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 9: games before that, so we'll see what they think of us,

781
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 9: and hopefully we can pull these next two off.

782
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if we won the next two, Yeah, if

783
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: we won the next two, I bet we would be

784
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: on that list. If we didn't the South Carolina game,

785
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen. Even if we win, it's gonna

786
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: hurt us because it's gonna bring our strength to schedule

787
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: down because that's the only team in the SEC that's

788
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: not a what quad whatever? Right, So in some ways

789
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 1: even beating them doesn't help you. But if we could

790
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee and then you're probably right.

791
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 9: Just hope we get in the tournament. I think if

792
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 9: we get in the tournament, I don't want us to

793
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 9: blow all those good wins away where we could have

794
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 9: had a good season, a real good chance to make

795
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 9: a good run.

796
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I appreciate the call. Four more. Who's next, Steve, Steve,

797
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: go ahead, Steve.

798
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 12: Hi, Matt, how are you tonight good? The real problem

799
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 12: of to night. Let's get to it. You know, I

800
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 12: know the defense isn't good. We only had one steal

801
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 12: that was Jackson Robbin, and we only had one block

802
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 12: that was Travis Perry of all people, Is that right?

803
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 6: Wow?

804
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: Is that right? We only one block It was Travis Perry.

805
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that.

806
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, but you said yourself. These guys are getting

807
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 12: older and defensively, we couldn't expect them to get much

808
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 12: better and they're not going to.

809
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

810
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 12: The real problem is our offense. Amari Williams is awesome,

811
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 12: but Tennysis says a lot about how good he is,

812
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 12: but also just how much he's you know, handling the ball. Yeah,

813
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 12: and uh, and we need a point guard. We need

814
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 12: Butler back Kelsey, and we need car back kealth Lee

815
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 12: so that Angley Almanor and Kobe Braa can return back

816
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 12: to their normal physicians and coming off the bench, and

817
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 12: our offense flows better that way. Yeah. Even when Florida

818
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 12: scores over one hundred, honest, when we score more than them,

819
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 12: we win. So we can't really expect our defense to

820
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 12: get much better. We really need our offense to get

821
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 12: sorted out.

822
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that, completely. I appreciate the call. I mean,

823
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: the thing is one thing that's clear is until Butler

824
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: was hurt, our offense was pretty good. Even when we lost.

825
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: That really hasn't been the case. The whole time since

826
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: he's been gone, and hopefully, hopefully that changes if he returns,

827
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: which we really need him to. Who's next, Todd, Todd,

828
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, Todd.

829
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 6: So Matt, like he was talking about earlier, Pope has

830
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 6: got a huge what he has, and it is amazing

831
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 6: he was able to put together a team even this

832
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 6: good and when the short time he had. But I

833
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 6: was wanting to touch on what you said too tonight

834
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 6: about how the team seemed to get better of the

835
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 6: second half. You know, it looks to me like we

836
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 6: should have made those changes in the first half. Surely

837
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 6: you know to wait till halftime. You know, as soon

838
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 6: as you see what's happening, it looked like you need

839
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 6: to make a change right then, because it seemed to

840
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 6: me when we kind of doing that against Tennessee, we.

841
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: Were I'm sure Pope wanted to do it, the guys

842
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: just weren't executing it. And then I think this team

843
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: really has a tendency. I think Pope is one or

844
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: two plays short on calling time out sometimes. Jack Gibbons

845
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that on the post game Martin may just have

846
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: to say I'm going to take a time out one

847
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 1: play quicker than I'm used to because they we've given

848
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: up eight zho ten to oh runs very quickly now

849
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: in multiple games in a row.

850
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if I had figured correctly, and you might

851
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 6: could have Billy to look it up to the way

852
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 6: I figured, we're averaging giving up seventy eight points a game.

853
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you may be right. I don't know.

854
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 6: I actually thought it might be more than that, but

855
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 6: when I figured it up, it's like seventy seven point seven.

856
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's still a lot, though, I mean, that's a lot,

857
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: and it is and in an SCC play it's more

858
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: than that, I bet. I mean, so, yeah, that's a lot,

859
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: and it's gonna you know, for us to win like that,

860
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: our offense has to be pretty flawless, and that hasn't

861
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: hadn't been the case yet. Appreciate it. Todd two more,

862
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: who's next?

863
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: Todd number two?

864
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: Todd number two, what's up?

865
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 8: And I appreciate you taking my call a couple points.

866
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 8: First thing, I know, we're down two point guards, but

867
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 8: somebody on that team has got to light of fire

868
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 8: under these guys to get them more intense on defense.

869
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 8: We're so kind of lackadaisical that it seems like the

870
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 8: other team gets in a flow and it's just like,

871
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 8: we have no defensive answer for that.

872
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: We had no answer from them in the first half.

873
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean when they went zone. What what scared me

874
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: about when they let zone is how lost we looked

875
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: on so like, yeah, that possession, that possession when they

876
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: played zone, if you go back and look, that was

877
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: a horrible defensive possession. I mean, I don't know that

878
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: any of the dudes knew where they were supposed to

879
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: be and when they got That's why he didn't play

880
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: it anymore. Is I think they would have scored one

881
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: thousand if we stayed in zone because those right from

882
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: the beginning, all four five of them were looking at

883
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: each other like where are we supposed to be? It

884
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: was that was not gonna go.

885
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, there was no communication at all. Car and

886
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 8: I think Robinson were like on the same man. And

887
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 8: then the guy that hit six threes is standing on

888
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 8: the corner wide open. I'm like, God, somebody's got to

889
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 8: be like, go go get you know, I've got him

890
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 8: roll back or something. But second point offense, I know

891
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 8: people are pressuring up on us and we're starting the

892
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 8: offense like thirty feet from the goal. I get that

893
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 8: to a degree, but the dribble handoff is killing us.

894
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 8: We're getting nothing out of that. And then we wait

895
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 8: to backdoor people when we're down twenty seven. I mean,

896
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 8: we should be doing that within the first five minutes.

897
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 8: There's no screens away from the ball to free up

898
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 8: the guys that can't create their own shot.

899
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well so Bret Bray it can't get separation, right, No,

900
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: neither can car neither can all Minor. So the only

901
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: two guys that can get any separation are Oway in Robinson.

902
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: So they're really the only ones that can come off

903
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: that screen and get any downhill momentum. And the problem

904
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: is that Robinson apparently that dude that was guarding Robinson

905
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: is like one of the best defenders in the league.

906
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: And so really, now you're the o Way And if

907
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: you'll notice, in the first half, oh, Way got the

908
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: ball downhill towards the rim, but he how many times

909
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: did he miss the finish? So again like, yeah, we

910
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: just couldn't get anything to work.

911
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd like to see him go downhill and then

912
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 8: slide Brea off the wing to the corner and have

913
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 8: someone setting the screen like kind of a backdoor screen

914
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 8: to freeme open or something, because we've just got to

915
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 8: find an open look versus a contested look. Good luck Thursday,

916
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 8: by the way.

917
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, so tomorrow we will

918
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: be at KSPAR and Thursday I'll have Billy in charge

919
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: of keeping the door open in between the studio and

920
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: and everything.

921
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: That'll be something, there's no doubt.

922
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: Thank you all very much for staying up. Tough loss.

923
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 1: Next thing, you just gotta beat South Carolina Saturday. South

924
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 1: Carolina Saturday is a must must must win. We will

925
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: see you guys later. Cats go down ninety eight to

926
