Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the local Toyota Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: What a night as the Cats go down to Fayetteville

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: and defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks eighty five to seventy seven.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Mark Pope gets his revenge on John Caliperi. We'll talk

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: about it all tonight. Give us a call eight five

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: nine two eight zero two two eight seven and joining

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: me tonight in the celebration. Is the only KISR personality

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: to pick the Cats to beat Arkansas today. That is

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: Nick Rausch, who is live and living color in studio.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: Woo feels good, It feels great. You know, there's a

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: lot of haters. There's a lot of doubters out there.

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: I never had a doubt Billy, not for a second.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: And you know a lot of people they criticized me

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: a year ago because I was the only one who

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: picked Cal and Arkansas to come to up and win.

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. I know, Cal, I've seen this before.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: It's been it's fifteen years of it. Right. Sometimes he

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: does the thing where he gets to play the underdog

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: card us against the world, no pressure on and he

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: gets his guys playing great. Well, what happens when the

21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: shoes on the other foot, and he's playing a team

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: that's got really no pressure on him at all. They

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: had nothing to lose down there at bud Walton. It

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: just come off a tough, tough loss, and Pope got

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 2: his guys ready to go cal they were not ready

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: to go and I could feel it. I could feel it,

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: my plums. We knew this was gonna happen. All the

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: doubters out there, I'm sure all of you are going

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: to call in and say I knew the whole time,

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: don't kid yourself. Everybody expected oh loss, but not everybody's ballner, Billy,

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and you brought in. You were smart. You hit me

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: up today and said I need a ball noer, and

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: so you got me in the seat and we're I'm

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: so excited to talk about this one of the biggest

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: wins of the Pope era, one that Kentucky fans are

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: gonna be talking about for a long, long, long long time.

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right, Nick, I mean, this win

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: exercised some demons.

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: There's no doubt.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's not going to completely correct the season

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: and some of the struggles that they've had, but this

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: could be a launching point for what the rest of

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: this year could be. We saw some great play again

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: by otega Oway. We saw Mark Pope get a technical,

45
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: we saw a disgusting ref show that I'm sure we'll

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: get maybe one or more call on day.

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's good to see you, buddy. Thanks for

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: joining me here.

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy to I just I'm oh man, it's

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: just this is this is gonna be a great night,

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: So please join us. Eight five twenty two eighty seven.

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna be talking about this for the next hour.

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be so much fun. Pour yourself an ice

54
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: cold beverage and enjoy the spoils of war. Tonight's night.

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 2: We get to relish, we get to enjoy, and let's

56
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: just let's do the mat thing. Let's talk about the

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 2: how it all happened, the anatomy of an upset. How

58
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: do you go on the road and beat a top

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: fifteen team when you're an underdog. Well, first things first,

60
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: you need your best player to play like it, and

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: otega Oway did that tonight. In non conference play. You

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: could tell something was a little off with him, right,

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: Like something was just wasn't really there. You know. It's

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: like Okay, you got sixteen points, but it took you

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: thirteen shots to get there. Otaga was a little off.

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: He's been awesome in SEC play and he was awesome

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: again tonight, twenty four points. And the funny thing I thought, Billy,

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: is you know Frank for Shilla, he gets paid much

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: more than we do to provide basketball analysis, and he's

70
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: just just put your head down and get to the rim.

71
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: And it's like, it sounds really dumb, but just just

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: do it and Otaga away. He did it over and

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: over and over again. Here's another thing too, If you

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: want to go on the road and win, what do

75
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: you need to do? Don't start slow? Can you?

76
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: I can't believe it? Yeah, I can't.

77
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: Every I mean, it felt like the last month they've

78
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: just been walking out there like Malik Thomas with a shovel,

79
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: going to work and digging themselves in a hole every

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: single game. By the time that ESPN flipped it over,

81
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Kittucky was up twelve to five. There was a lot

82
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: of people who were just like, I don't want to

83
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: flip it over to esp and you this game is

84
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: almost over anyway, I'm not gonna miss anything. They're gonna

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: be done. Oh no, Kentucky starts hot. They put game

86
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: pressure on Arkansas, and when you're the underdog, you gotta

87
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: pot pressure intense moments. And the other part, like basketball

88
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: is a shot making game. It's very simple. The team

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: that makes shots, they're going to win. Kentucky made fifty

90
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: four percent of their shots. More importantly, they outscored Arkansas

91
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: by nine points at the three point line, and they

92
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: also made three more free throws, none of the best

93
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: free throw shooting night for either team.

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: Mister Rutlich, Well, you talk about this fast start, I

95
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: mean they started ten of eleven from the field, ten

96
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: of eleven.

97
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: I mean, how bad was.

98
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: The start versus Vandy. I think they were three to

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty to start that game. To then go ten of eleven.

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if this team only thought

101
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: that they had one game this week and they were

102
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: just so focused on beating Cal in Arkansas. But to

103
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: go into your arena and beat your team, Yeah, heard

104
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: that one before.

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: I heard it before.

106
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: It was just sweet and and just how much the

107
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: loss last year was crushing. We spent the entire year

108
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: saying they had to win one game last year was

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: Arkansas at Rop Arena. For Pope to win this game

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: now in Arkansas, when Arkansas is the highest rated team

111
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and the AP right now in the SEC at fifteen,

112
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: and with how bad Kentucky's been playing, this is just

113
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it's a momentous occasion, there's no doubt.

114
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: And the other part when you get in these games

115
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: against big time teams, so like, let's face it, they're

116
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: more talented the Kentucky right this is a fall of

117
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball team, probably not going to be winning SEC

118
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: championships and going to final fours, but they're good enough

119
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: to beat good teams. It's just how how do you

120
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: react when things get tight? And let's be real, there

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: was a moment there where a lot of that doubt

122
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: that first have joy and jubilation, people started thinking, oh god,

123
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna lose the cal again because things got off

124
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: the wire. When you want to upset a team on

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: the road, you got to weather the storm when things

126
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: aren't going your way. And Black Guy Billy, I don't

127
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: know if things could have gone worse for that short

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: little stretch where three technical fouls were called in thirty

129
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: eight seconds.

130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: Right wrong, up and down, up or down.

131
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody could predict what Doug Shows

132
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: was gonna do in those thirty eight seconds.

133
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: So the first one, Brandon Garrison, he earned he did

134
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: a brain and Garson.

135
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: Was a tough guy thing like which, like, dude, you.

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: Just you just played awesome defense on Darius a cuff. Okay,

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: but you don't have to just flex dim bones right

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: over top of him like to That was a very

139
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: dumb beg thing and like, okay, I get it. Let's

140
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: move on the technical that Doug Shows called on mo

141
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: Dia Bote. I'm so glad, so so glad that we

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: are talking about this after a win. Yeah, because you

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: sound like a sore loser to talk about bad calls

144
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: after a loss. But Billy, it's not how perbly to

145
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: say that that might be the worst call in the

146
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: history of officiating. I mean, the the hook I guess

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: it was last Saturday. Yeah, the hook that where Oway

148
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: was getting grabbed. I mean it was, it was. That

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: was a terrible call. Mod just swatched the shot in

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: Flexes in the crowd and Doug Shows season up. What

151
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: what in what world?

152
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: There?

153
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: That is never ever ever a technical And it happens every.

154
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: Single time that something like that happens this is.

155
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: The most basic basketball player ever in Doug Show's like,

156
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: you know what, time for me to be the center

157
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: of attention and then to make matters worse Denzel Aberdeen.

158
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: Can we get a little urgency in the back court right? Like,

159
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, get it up the court. I

160
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: I thought he got across. I thought he made it

161
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: in time. They called it ten second violation. Pope loses it,

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: he gets teed up. You know what, Good on you, Pope,

163
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: stand up for your guys. That the fact that they

164
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: had all of that go wrong for them seven O

165
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: Arkansas run. It feels like all hope is lost. Credit

166
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: to this team who how many times have people called

167
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: into this show and complained to about the mental makeup

168
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: of this team often? I mean, look at him. They

169
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: kind of smiled, They almost smiled. In a press conference,

170
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: they said touch money when they were breaking the people

171
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: nitpicked this team to death. But they have showed some

172
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: real emotional resiliency this year and they deserve credit for that,

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: especially in this one, because they could have packed their bags,

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: they could have called it a day. You know what

175
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: they did and said Colin Chandler went down there, hit

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: a huge three to really do the sham wou and

177
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 2: plugged the leak. Right, it calmed everybody down. It was nice.

178
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: They had a couple of timeouts on the floor, but

179
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: the fact that they weathered that storm. Shout out to

180
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: this Kentucky Wildcats team, thank you for delivering a win

181
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: that we can all celebrate tonight, because that was that

182
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: was one hell of a win.

183
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Tom and Goose thought the same thing

184
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: about the mo technical foul. I think we all did,

185
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: But it was the double tech in the first half

186
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: that got Goose's attention. You know where oh Way got

187
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: into a scuffle with the other guys. He's not letting

188
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: to take in anybody's bs in this game. That is

189
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: exactly what Jack was looking for. He talked about on

190
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: the broadcast, how I wanted to see some fight from

191
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, maybe not just figurative fight, but an

192
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: actual fight, Like sometimes enough is enough, And maybe Kentucky

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: had finally reached that breaking point going on the road,

194
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: everybody counting them out except Nick Rausch in the Commonwealth

195
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. When you're back is against the wall, you

196
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: see people play their best and maybe that was a

197
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: little bit of that tonight for Kentucky.

198
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: Two players that deserve a shout out. Obviously we're gonna

199
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: shout a bunch of them out. But Chandler hit that

200
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: big three. He had a huge n one right before

201
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: half two. That's gonna get overwooked. But I don't know

202
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: how the hell he made that. And then end of

203
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: the game, it's a six point game. Things are getting

204
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: all tight, right, we might be getting into a free

205
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: throw shooting competition. I don't think anybody want to see

206
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: either of these teams of the free throw shooting competition.

207
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Who knows what would have happen. He comes in cold

208
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: off the bench, hits the little fade away that gets

209
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: it to eight and really delivered the dagger. And then

210
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: the other ones who Goose talked to in the post

211
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: SAMs trip note that guy.

212
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: He looked great. I mean he did what he needed

213
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: to do.

214
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: Tough, Yeah, every tough rebound he gets. I know everybody

215
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: wants to talk about his shooting ability, and frankly, it's

216
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: if there's one real big X and OZ thing Kentucky

217
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: needs to do that. Guy's a great shooter. Run plays

218
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: to get him shots, right, can we do that? But

219
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: it wasn't the threes that he hit. It said, he

220
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: was gritting and grinding some tough, tough rebounds. He's an

221
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: undersized guy who is just out there against these NBA dudes, like, no,

222
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm getting this rebound, You're gonna found me. I'm gonna

223
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: go down and make two free throws.

224
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: At the other end, he was shushing the crowd.

225
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: I love that and hopefully, you know, maybe shushing some

226
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: former Wildcat players who were very vocal online when Arkansas

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: came into Rupp Arena and beat Kentucky. Didn't see much

228
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: of that after the game, which was strange.

229
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, funny how that works out, you know. It was

230
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: speaking of funny, it did hilarious to just look at

231
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: the Arkansas bench. I mean.

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: You mean, like Chin Coleman's.

233
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's all of those guys. I mean, I

234
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: wish we got a little bit more crowd work from ESPN.

235
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: They're terrible at their jobs. They don't know how to

236
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: run a college basketball game. You think with all the

237
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: games they have they would know how to really maximize

238
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: the broadcast. They stink at it replays whole nine yards.

239
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: I hadn't seen a lot of cow shots. And there

240
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: was the one time out where they go towards the bench,

241
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: they see Col and then you see Kenny Payne just

242
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: sitting there doing nothing. His signature look right, and then

243
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: Chuck Martin his pocket square it looked like a bouquet

244
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: of flowers, like Chuck, you don't have to be that

245
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: loud man, like I can hear you through my TV

246
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: and your your mouth's closed, and usually it's Bruiser who's

247
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: chomping on that gum oh Chin, just that poor gum oh,

248
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,239
Speaker 2: poor bastards.

249
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know, as you were looking at the sideline,

250
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: people were also looking into the stands where there was

251
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: a Kentucky fan with a sign that said, well is

252
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: it we miss you?

253
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 5: Cal?

254
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: I miss you Cal.

255
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I think that would have had a

256
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: little bit more gravity if Kentucky would have lost that game.

257
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: But now you know, Cal said Mark Pope was the

258
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: perfect man for this job. And I'm not gonna wipe

259
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: away all the criticism we've given Pope.

260
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: This year, because he deserves plenty of it.

261
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: He hasn't lived up to expectations, especially with this roster.

262
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: But is there a chance that he is the right

263
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: guy for this job.

264
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: I think it's silly to do a lot of the torches, pitchforks,

265
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: we're gonna throw him out of town thing when pretty

266
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: much every important player he's had has gotten injured so like,

267
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: and that's not mistaining Jane Quaint's criticize them all you want.

268
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: That's a risk he took for that guy. But I

269
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: will give Pope a lot of credit for masking his mistake.

270
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: His big mistake this offseason was that he got away

271
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: from his formula right like the way that Mark Pope

272
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: coaches basketball teams. It's not what the roster built like this.

273
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: He felt like he needed to build a like this

274
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: to win games like tonight against Arkansas and the SEC. Well,

275
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: you know what, he didn't really know how to coach

276
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: that way though, So that's what's gotten us into this

277
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: predicament to this point because he's not used to coaching

278
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: guys like this, not a lot of shooters in space,

279
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: the flour out. But you know what, he's figured it out,

280
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 2: and you got to tip your cap to him. Give

281
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: him a lot of credit. Another top fifteen win. I

282
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: know Corey Price had a stat for that, but last

283
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: year you could tell you set the record for top

284
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: fifteen wins against a p opponents. So add another one

285
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: to him. I guess that's ten so far in his

286
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: short two year tender. He has still plenty to prove

287
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: and a lot to work on. But to go out

288
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: and get your guys to bounce back after that Vanderbilt game,

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: right because a lot of what people question Pope about

290
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: Billy is it's that intangible stuff. See pumpsft is even screaming.

291
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: Is he built for this? If he can do it?

292
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: He he took one to the chin his team. They

293
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: they got their ass kicked. That was as bad as

294
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: it could get on Tuesday. And what did he do.

295
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: He got his guys back in the gym. They didn't waiver,

296
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: they didn't flinch, and he got him ready to play.

297
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: They started fast for the first time forever. They fixed

298
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: some big problems, the concept. It's not a perfect team,

299
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: and it's not going to be a perfect team, but

300
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: they're going to deliver some fun wins. And I know

301
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there right now listening

302
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: probably said, hey, we're not gonna get a lot, but

303
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: if we could just get one, get the one at Arkansas.

304
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: If they didn't say that, they said get the one

305
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: at Tennessee. Well he got both of.

306
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Them and then embarrassed against Vandy, But then you come

307
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: back and win a big game like this, Like it's

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: impossible to predict unless you're Nick Rausch, unless you're Nick

309
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Roush predicting making the picks.

310
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: Well, they pay me the big bucks, Billy.

311
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,080

Speaker 2: It was very cool driving in and there was some

331
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: college guys who were bounce around between bars doing Cat's

332
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: Chance on Vine Street.

333
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: It feels right, doesn't it?

334
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 7: Oh Man?

335
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: Feels so good to get a big win. We're gonna

336
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: talk about all night. We're gonna talk about it with you.

337
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: Give us called eight, five, nine, eight, twenty two eighty seven?

338
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: Who we got? Who got it first? Billy?

339
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: All right, let's start with Richard. Richard, you're up first.

340
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 7: Hey, what a night. Isn't it great to be a

341
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 7: Kentucky fan? Three injuries of our best players. We don't

342
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 7: get any of the players we go for first, we get.

343
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 7: I mean, how much adversity does this fan base go through?

344
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 7: And you know what, I appreciate you talking about the

345
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: people who have doubted pope or unfairly criticized them. Yes,

346
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 7: we've had bad games and bad decisions and mistakes, and

347
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 7: we've laid eggs. But you wouldn't have thought we just

348
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 7: came off a five game winning streak. You wouldn't have

349
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 7: thought that we beat the best Duke team since Zion

350
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 7: Williamson with a bunch with a roster of you know guys,

351
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 7: who weren't great, weren't big targets, and weren't big players.

352
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 7: But they came here and Pope coached them into a

353
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 7: win over Cooper Flag. He coached them over He coached

354
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 7: them through a win over the Florida Gators who won

355
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: the national championship. We won against Tennessee three times, now

356
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 7: beat Illinois. I think Pope. If you don't think Pope

357
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 7: is the guy, what else do you want? This is

358
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 7: going to be a long term culture build. Were like

359
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 7: Izzoe and Michigan State in five years, He's not going

360
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 7: to have to preach to anyone, not fans, not recruits

361
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 7: about what Kentucky is. He's going to have built it.

362
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 7: It will be self evident in our wins, in our

363
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 7: you can already tell the rough atmosphere has changed. I

364
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 7: mean we boo players because we're amped. No other fan

365
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 7: base in the country's going to do that. No other

366
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 7: fan base in the country is going to light up

367
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 7: like we do in those games where we did boo

368
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 7: when we get hot. We are a very loud crowd.

369
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 7: And I mean no matter and if you're a recruit

370
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 7: looking at this, what else do you want? I mean, literally,

371
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 7: what else do you want.

372
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: I want more wins like this, And that's that's what's

373
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: beautiful is that it can change so quickly. It can

374
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 2: change on the drop of a hat. You can think

375
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: that everything is going down the toilet, and then you

376
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: go on the road you beat your former code who's

377
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: got his best point guard. Like that's the thing with Cal.

378
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: Cal's at his best when he has an outstanding point guard.

379
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: He's got one of those guys in Kentucky. Did he

380
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: make a shot in the first half billion.

381
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: I don't think he did.

382
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: Kentucky brought their a game.

383
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: They did, they did, And I gotta say, I mean

384
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: for a fan base that was told that they're unrealistic.

385
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to talk about that.

386
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: For a fan base that you know, went through Cal

387
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: and him coming back to up and getting that win,

388
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: I think this was cathartic. I mean, in a lot

389
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: of ways, this is I think if people were teetering

390
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: on getting off maybe the the Pope bus, maybe they're

391
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: they're jumping back on it after a win like this.

392
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: It's very funny, Billy, because I tried to look up

393
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: Seth Greenberg KSR. And there are like ten articles of

394
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: him explaining to fans there's one unworn and arrogance where

395
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: he just thinks Kentucky basketball fans expectations are too hot, Billy.

396
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: How many years did it take John Period to win

397
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: a national championship? Uh?

398
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 3: Not many?

399
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: Three? Three took him two to get to a Final four.

400
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: How many years to take Tebey Smith to win a

401
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: national championship?

402
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 3: Not many at all?

403
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, took him. One. Took Brick four years to get

404
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: to a Final four, and one of those was on probation.

405
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: Jobey Hall. It didn't take him long to get to

406
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: a Final four either. Kentucky fans have final four expectations

407
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: because we are Kentucky basketball. We set the standard. It's

408
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: a very high one. I don't care if it's gold, silver, platinum,

409
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. We have high expectations. We do

410
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: not like when Kentucky loses about twenty five points. We

411
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: are going to be pissed. That's right, and you deserve

412
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: to be mad for that. But you know what is long?

413
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 2: I feel like if I'm not going to tell you

414
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: how to fan, I'm just only going to stay mad

415
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: at the things that I think actually matter, and one

416
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: of those is, hey, Pope, you can't keep digging yourself

417
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 2: into double digit deficits and expect to pull a rabbit

418
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: out of your hat. You did it twice and you

419
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: got really lucky with that lsu wont my god, so

420
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: let's be yeah, it was really yeah. Yeah, So you

421
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: couldn't keep doing that, and you know what, you got

422
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: it fix. And you know I don't. I probably disagree

423
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: with that caller on like five years. Then we'll judge it. No, no, no,

424
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: this this is a different time in college basketball. But

425
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: it's good to see his coaching chops come out.

426
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Well and also guys that you thought may have checked

427
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: out still be really involved. I mean, Modiabatte was screaming

428
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: at his teammates recently, and he's making some of the

429
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: biggest rebounds every game. And you can talk bad about

430
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Garrison, and he makes some stupid mistakes at times.

431
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: He had a pass today that that was one of

432
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: the best passes I've seen all year.

433
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: Oh and then like a possession or two later, he

434
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: misses his first shot and then banks it in off

435
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 2: the glass.

436
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he's going bank it like you

437
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: know that's gonna happen. But like easy for those guys

438
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: to go a different direction.

439
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: Especially mod when they sent him to the bench and

440
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: we thought he was just checked out for the rest

441
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: of the year. But no, three blocks a night and

442
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: a huge box.

443
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 3: That's out your three best players, too incredible.

444
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: Who got up next? Billy?

445
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: Eate is up next?

446
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 6: What's up?

447
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 8: Hey?

448
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 6: You call me exactly the way people call me here,

449
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: Mount Sterling.

450
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 9: How's everybody doing tonight?

451
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Shout out Mount Sterley, Let's go.

452
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 6: So basically, I just want to call in and talk

453
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 6: about they came out and they fought despite the Doug

454
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 6: Show show. Obviously, he always wants to put on a show.

455
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: He wants to I guess he wants the crowd to

456
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 6: look at him. But also, I'll touch on another couple

457
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 6: of points real quick. There was no me and team tonight.

458
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 6: They shared the ball.

459
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 9: Well.

460
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 6: If Yellowviitch can score seven to nine points every outing,

461
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: along with the bench, especially Trent Noah, that surplus, we

462
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 6: can beat anyone. Also, I think the freshman, especially Jasper

463
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 6: Johnson coming up with those two quick bells. They're still

464
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 6: learning college ball and that's a problem. I'll hang up

465
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 6: and much you I'll talk.

466
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, Nate. I think the for me, Billy, the

467
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: role players work. If you get two of them to play. Well,

468
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: they don't have to do it every night, right, Like,

469
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: I forget what game it was where Jasper had like

470
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: eleven points in the first half that really kept the

471
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: boat to float. These games kind of all run together. Uh,

472
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: But tonight he came in two thousand and four seconds.

473
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: It was it was not.

474
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: Gonna be his night. And you know what, it wasn't

475
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Yellovich's night either, Right. Yellovich he does some things that

476
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: are whoa, oh, okay, that's pretty nice, like that three

477
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: that I don't know how the hell that thing went.

478
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: That was a prayer. But he gets lost in the

479
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: interior defense. His the interior defense of Kentucky is so

480
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: late on rotating. No one want to go. I mean

481
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: the amount of lobs they got in the first half

482
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: because Yellovich got caught with his hands in his pockets.

483
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: It just couldn't happen, right, So Trent Noah comes in

484
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 2: and he makes the scrappy plays. Now, when you go

485
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: to the three two zone, okay, sometimes Trent Noah, the

486
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: six foot ten guys are going to catch the ball

487
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: over him and score, right, But you take the good

488
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: with the bad. You get two of those role players

489
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: to step up, play well, and next game it might

490
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: it might be Jasper's game next time out right, as

491
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: long as you got two of them stepping up ready

492
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: to go, then you can then you can make this

493
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: thing successful.

494
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: There is a next man up mentality with his team,

495
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: and there's nothing that better encapsulates that.

496
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 3: By a quick quiz. Nick who was the plus minus

497
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: leader by Kentucky ooh.

498
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm gonna I'm gonna guess Noah.

499
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: Malachai moreno oh was plus sixteen and twenty seven minutes,

500
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: played terrible against Vandy.

501
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: Nick, Yeah, he was unplayable against.

502
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Andy, and now he is the plus minus leader with

503
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: eleven points and seven rebounds. I mean, that is a

504
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: mentality that can take you a long way. If other

505
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: guys are gonna pick each other up a couple.

506
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: Of big box and the way they use him another

507
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 2: pick and roll too. Got a couple dunks that stopped

508
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: Arkansas from building momentum, right, because that and that's the

509
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: when you got a big lead like that, just don't

510
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: let the other team go on a ten oh run.

511
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

512
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: Now, sometimes Doug Shows might show up and give you

513
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: three texts and they go on a seven oh, run

514
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: in the blank of an uh, but you can get

515
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: him back, which we didn't talk about that the other

516
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: tech Nicoll they called on Arkansas.

517
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 3: The un Tech where he threw the ball.

518
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: And then stepped on his head. Yeah, and now, I

519
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: do you think he meant to step on his head.

520
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think he meant the ball. I

521
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: don't know.

522
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: About the step in. Yeah. Yeah, but it was definitely

523
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: a oh yeah, you got a game being called.

524
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: It had he had to get a tea, had to,

525
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: had to and I mean Moe got a tea for

526
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: screaming at the crowd. Arkansas guys were doing the exact

527
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: same thing later in the game, and they weren't getting

528
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: a tea. That is really a testament to a human

529
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: ego impacting a game when they're not one of the

530
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: team's playing.

531
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: I will say, though, Billy, you know this is not

532
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: an easy job. I dabbled in officiating back in the day.

533
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: Don't stand up for the refs on this one.

534
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, there's no more difficult game

535
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: to officiate than third and fourth grade girls basketball and

536
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: Dixie Highway. Okay, let me tell you when when you

537
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: got to tell him all right. You can't just run

538
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: all the way to the rim like you can walk.

539
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: You can shuffle feet of it, you can't run to

540
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: the risk when you called him for a travel and

541
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: their parents are ready to run out of the stands

542
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: and tackle you. That's a tough gig, all right. So

543
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: that Doug shows I know you like to be the

544
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 2: center of the attention, but I can relate to how

545
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: hard it is sometimes to deal with you.

546
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 3: Well, he better be at the final four.

547
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Who do you think who do you think he hates more?

548
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: Kentucky or cow That was the question I think we

549
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: were supposed to learn tonight, and I think it's Kentucky.

550
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 2: The funny part of it all, My favorite thing that

551
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 2: college basketball reps do is when they call it one

552
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: way for one half and then the second half they're like, no, no, no,

553
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: we are calling it completely different. I mean they were just.

554
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: The whistle tightens up a little bit and it just

555
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: completely changes the game.

556
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, and you know what, credit to Kentucky for realizing, hey,

557
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna call everything. Well, we're gonna get to the

558
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: free throw line. We're gonna put our heads downhill. Like

559
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: frankfs Shills said, We're gonna get to the rim. We're

560
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: gonna draw some fowls. And that technical that second one,

561
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: it was a five point possession. Kentucky got a lot.

562
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: I mean it felt like they got whatever back that

563
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: they gave up from that earlier sething.

564
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: And I mean, hell, Trent Noah is getting slung around

565
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: at the end of the game too.

566
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could. If it was tighter, Doug Shows would

567
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: have taught. He would have tied him up so quick.

568
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: But it was like, Ah, there's fifteen seconds left, we

569
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: don't need to be here any longer. Let's just get

570
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: out of here.

571
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: Let's take it out of the call.

572
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: Nick, what's good?

573
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: Jay is up next?

574
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 10: What O?

575
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 11: Jay?

576
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 12: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Nick, and Billy. I

577
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 12: just had to call in with a great win for

578
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 12: the Cats. I'm actually calling in for my aunt Doris.

579
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 12: My aunt Doris was ninety four years old. She lived

580
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 12: in Bringen, Kentucky and Mulenberg County. She died earlier this week,

581
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 12: and we had her funeral earlier today. And I'm actually

582
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 12: a pastor, and she wanted me to speak at her service,

583
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 12: and so at the end of my remarks, I said,

584
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 12: I sure hope she's pestering Saint Peter to help the

585
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 12: Cats find a way to beat those nasty Razorbacks. And

586
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 12: so I think at least part of the credit needs

587
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 12: to go to my Aunt Doris, and so I wanted

588
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 12: to shout her out on this night of victory for

589
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 12: the Cats, and shout out to my Aunt Doris Jones

590
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 12: in heaven and thanks for taking the call, and let's

591
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 12: go Cats.

592
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: Shout out to Aunt Doris, who's uh Muhlenberg County's fine

593
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: is certainly celebrating in Paradise tonight.

594
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: Needle and Saint Peter's up there, oh man, hoping for

595
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: a little help.

596
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: I love that.

597
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: And that's uh, you know, Kentucky basketball. That's why Seth

598
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: Greenberg irritates me so much when he tries to lecture

599
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: us on our fandom. You don't know how much it

600
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: means to us. You have no clue. It bonds, It

601
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: brings families together. We live and die with this stuff.

602
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: And so if we're gonna get a little irrational from

603
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: time to time, so be it.

604
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: Stephen Peak and his video.

605
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is our thing. And you

606
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: know what, if you think we're bad, Seth, go ask

607
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: to Eagles fans how they feel about their team right, Like,

608
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: did you think that Kentucky's the only fan base. I'm

609
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: watching the tennesseevolunteers right now. You think they're a bunch

610
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: of angels? No balls go Seth lectures old man. Man.

611
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: We gotta do, we gotta get your break.

612
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 3: We do, but let's take one more.

00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 4: tonight and I appreciate it. Boys, And hey, go cats.

624
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: Go cats. Billy, you ever been to a road wind,

625
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: I know you're you're usually cooped up in here.

626
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: No, I've only been to like two games period because

627
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: I can't get out of here.

628
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Well, one day we're gonna get you out of here.

629
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna get you to a road game. I will

630
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: contend I like that lot too, eat what they feed you.

631
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: I will contend that there is no more intoxicating drug

632
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 2: in the world than winning on the road, because it's

633
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: such a there's a small band of brothers there and

634
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: then when you just get to see those fans leave

635
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: so sad it is. Oh, it's so satisfying. I I've

636
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: been to bud Walton. Don't do as many basketball games

637
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: because we've got an army at KSL. Yeah, yeah, I

638
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: go to all the football games. But back in twenty twenty,

639
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: one of the road games that did was at Arkansas. Broh,

640
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: my dad. It's kind about tickets. We'll sit together in

641
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: the uproad deck after the game, I'll work and we'll

642
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: figure it out. And that was the game that cow

643
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: got ejected.

644
00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

645
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: And it is, without a doubt, the loudest I've ever

646
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: It's it's the loudest experience of my life, maybe except

647
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: for like a show at Cosmic Charlie's when I was

648
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: in college, where you're right next to the speakers and

649
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: it's just hammering you in the ear drums. But we were,

650
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean we were sitting next to each other having

651
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: to cover our ears. It was so loud, and the

652
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: if you go back and watch the replay menu quickly

653
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: covers his ears. It was that loud. And then Kentucky

654
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: went in a seventeen to two run in that place

655
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: you could you couldn't hear anything, and then you could

656
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: hear me Mlo Man screaming from the upper deck. I

657
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: mean it was. It was so satisfying to watch them

658
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: leave such a big game. They thought they probably got

659
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: col and they didn't.

660
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: And you see another Kentucky fan, maybe you give them

661
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: a high five, a high five with a random stranger.

662
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: Oh and your hand almost hurts afterwards because you smack

663
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: it so hard. And then to see them, just to

664
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: wave by by to them as they're leaving the stands.

665
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: They've been probably trash talking the entire game.

666
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: To see them pack up, grab their coats and leave

667
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: early tonight, it's beautiful, well done cats. Shout out to

687
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: They're just tougher than us and maybe may be more

688
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: used to it than we are.

689
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: This is it's been so called for so long, and uh,

690
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: I'm glad that it's it was hot inside Bud Walton

691
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 2: Arena fifty four from the field. Uh. One thing that

692
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: I didn't want to overlook when talking about the game tonight,

693
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: Denzel Aberdeen, I don't care what the rest of his

694
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: tline was. Zero turnovers zero. Now, I guess they didn't

695
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 2: give him credit for that ten second call. What happened?

696
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't They didn't. They didn't give him the turnover,

697
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 3: I guess.

698
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: But it says zero. It says zero next to his name.

699
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: He had ten points, hit a couple of threes. We

700
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: needed that second three to two billion.

701
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Well, while you're highlighting Denzel Aberdeen, why don't we give

702
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: away a Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney, moneymaker of the game? Ooh,

703
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: Nick injured, get small town compassion with big city results

704
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: when you call the Rocker at two seven zero three

705
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: two one four four two nine. And I think it's

706
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: an obvious choice tonight, Nick, it's gonna be the guy

707
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: that led you in points.

708
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: We don't always do that for the Johnny Rocker.

709
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, though, otega Oha didn't just lead

710
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: you in points. And I thought this was a great

711
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: point that Goose made afterwards he was tesked with guarding

712
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: Darius Acuff most tonight. Yes, and you know if a

713
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: couple of those free throws up short because he was

714
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: playing good defense on a cuff, so be it. It

715
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: took twenty shots for a cuff to get what twenty

716
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: two points?

717
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: Yes, he was.

718
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: Great and you need you needed that, You needed the

719
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: Is it the rockaway player that was a Johnny Rocker

720
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: money maker, the money maker of the game. Well, you

721
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: need your best player to be your money maker. You

722
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: need him to be the obelisk that everybody looks to.

723
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean, how money is twenty four points on twelve shots.

724
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't make three, but guys, was efficient.

725
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: He had eight rebounds, eight well, leading the team a

726
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: warrior minutes, one turnover.

727
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: Otega showed the fight tonight and that's why he's our

728
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 3: money maker of the game.

729
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: Until the battle is won.

730
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: That's right. I apologize I haven't played any tom t

753
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 10: awesome night, as frustrating as one of the more frustrating

754
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 10: games I've ever tried to watch, with all of the

755
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 10: technicals in the back and forth, just trying to take

756
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 10: the air out of the game. But I couldn't be

757
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 10: more excited, more happy after losing the cow last year

758
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 10: at home, finally getting to take him down, especially at Arkansas.

759
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 10: I mean, we beat Tennessee at Tennessee. That's my dad's

760
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 10: favorite game of the years. Every time we get to

761
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 10: beat Tennessee, especially on the road. But We also beat

762
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 10: Louisville in our home gym last year. Like, I've been

763
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 10: big on Pope ever since he came in. I think

764
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 10: he's done a lot to turn his program around. Yeah,

765
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 10: he's still got a long way to go. Yeah, this

766
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 10: team's still got a long way to go. But I

767
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 10: think we're doing an awesome job. So I'm happy. Everybody's happy.

768
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 10: Ryan Lemon's definitely happy. That dude's my spirit animal. When

769
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 10: he yanks's shirt off at the bar, and then last

770
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 10: thing is, you know, shout out Aunt Doris. I'll give

771
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 10: you a high five when I see you in heaven.

772
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 10: You know, go cats, go kats.

773
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: Amen to that.

774
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: Ryan Lemon was certainly he was having a good time tonight.

775
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: He predicted a blowout loss on the pregame show. We

776
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: all did besides Nick Rousch. By the way, but I mean,

777
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: when Ryan takes his shirt off at Chaos Bar and Grill,

778
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: is there a happen more happening celebration spot intelection?

779
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: I just when you is that a good thing that

780
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: we want people to know? Like, Hey, come to Chaos Bar,

781
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: you might get to see Ryan take a shirt off.

782
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: Well, if you ask Matt No, I think he would

783
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: he said, we're going to do a New Year's Eve

784
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: resolution where we're not going to talk about nudity on

785
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: the air or take your shirt off. And then I

786
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: mean after you beat Arkansas, Dick, I mean you got

787
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: to do that.

788
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe eat some Tyson Chicken nuggets. Diet starts tomorrow, Yeah, oh,

789
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: definitely tomorrow. We'll know. After next Sunday, the Super Bowl,

791
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: to get to the New Year's resolution. We'll get to

792
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 2: those times.

793
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: I saw matt retweet his video of thanking the Arkansas

794
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: the Chickenman.

795
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: He's been getting a lot of crap for that.

796
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, well the chicken Man. I hope you enjoyed

797
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: that last night, buddy, hope it tastes good eating that.

798
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 3: L We got next packetthew Matthew's.

799
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 13: Next good evening, gentlemen. So Billy was there, of course,

800
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 13: last time I called for the Billy R Sports post

801
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 13: game show after the Missouri Lake Missouri loss, I called

802
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 13: in and said that our program was broken and we're

803
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 13: not making the tournament. And I want to take this

804
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 13: opportunity to apologize to Mark Pope, the staff and the

805
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 13: players for that. As a lifelong Kentucky and I know

806
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 13: that we are never out of the fight. We always

807
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 13: find a way to defy the odds. And while this

808
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 13: team is not perfect and we may be down right now,

809
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 13: we are most certainly not out great unexpected Ever tonight

810
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 13: by Trent Noah, It's an effort that we're going to

811
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 13: need going forward this season. I love the grit we

812
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 13: saw from this team tonight in battling adversity and battling

813
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 13: the rest, of course to accomplish what they did. Don't

814
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 13: want to get my hopes up too high just yet,

815
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 13: but in the words of our former coach, I like

816
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 13: my team. Let's take care of the next two at home.

817
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 13: Let's break some hearts and games along Valentine's Day, go

818
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 13: cast and to Arkansas.

819
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 11: Max.

820
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: Eat it, Yeah, eat it, Max, Thanks so much for

821
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 2: calling in pat you. I think it's worth noting that,

822
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: as I mean, Kentucky's won six out of seventh, they

823
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: will be todd for second in the SCC correct standings

824
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 2: right now. I've been in seven, six and three, and

825
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: does A and M play tomorrow? Who's no Tomorrow's Florida

826
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: and Bama. I believe I was thrown off whenever I

827
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 2: was seeing a yes, a Sunday SEC game. That's weird,

828
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: but it's more as note to, Kentucky has the most

829
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: difficult schedule in the country going down the pipe. But

830
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 2: your point, you got Oklahoma coming into town, Nigel Pack

831
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: Porter Moser, that's a winnable game. And then the balls.

832
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: At least you already beat them.

833
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: You have already beat them, You've least got of split them.

834
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 2: I think the other part that we have to remember

835
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: to whenever everything is bad and you're kicking rocks down

836
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: the street. Oh, this isn't a tournament. Team may stink.

837
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: You know what. There's a lot of at large bits.

838
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: I believe thirty seven if I'm not mistaken. They got

839
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: to go to somebody, and Kentucky is stacking up Quad

840
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: one wins this one, Tennessee. That's Saint John's mind like

841
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: that they are stacking them up. This resume is not

842
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: going to be the prettiest. But you know what, the

843
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: SEC's pretty a wide open right now. Take care of

844
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: business at home, Steal a couple here there on the road.

845
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 2: I mean, South Carolina looks down right bad. You gotta

846
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 2: win that one. Auburn is I mean Stephen Pearl's their coach,

847
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: so anybody's got a chance. It reminds me, you know,

848
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: I don't like a lot of things Bobby Knight said,

849
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: But there was one quote he had after a game

850
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: where Indiana they've been trailing to LSU. He said, were

851
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: you ever worried? He's like, you know, just looked over

852
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: the other bench and I saw Dale Brown, coach, and

853
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: I knew we had a chance. That's how I feel

854
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: when you look over there and you see Stephen Pearl

855
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: right Like, there's always a chance when Stephen Pearl's on

856
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: the other sideline. So the SEC's wide open, and uh,

857
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: Kentucky second right now at the end of Jannywhary who.

858
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: Without their three best players, who who would.

859
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: Have thought this about to go exactly? So, like, is

860
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: it's imperfect and it's not. It doesn't look like the

861
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 2: Monstars by any means, but you know what, they're getting

862
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: the job done.

863
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 3: Todd is up next?

864
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: What's up? Todd?

865
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 14: Hey? Tonight? Before the game, I kind of prepared myself

866
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 14: for a loss after hearing everybody give their predictions and everything,

867
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 14: and then after seeing what we did against Vanderbilt, and

868
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 14: I was very pleasantly surprised and just tickled to death.

869
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 14: We still need to work on our help.

870
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: Defense, no doubt.

871
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 14: Uh, you know we we did well tonight. And I

872
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 14: don't think I have ever seen a game where there

873
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 14: were six technical fouls called?

874
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: Have you Todd day? It's one of those were I

875
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: don't want to be prisoner of the moment, but I

876
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: think I can safely say that I don't think I've

877
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 2: ever seen a game with six technical.

878
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: Things outside of a brawl or something like that.

879
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: Y R like that. That was unbelievable, Todd.

880
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 14: Right, And I don't know why they didn't throw Brazil

881
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 14: at when he found no way after. Now, that was malicious.

882
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 14: That was absolutely a sore loser acting like that.

883
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it certainly was. And I think that's one

884
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: of those times where they're just like, you know what,

885
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: there's ten seconds left, just get him off the court.

886
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: Within this game. Go cry in your locker room, hogs.

887
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 14: I'm not one more question and see if you if

888
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 14: any of you all know it, you were a billy.

889
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 14: I've been noticing here lately where players get the ball

890
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 14: and they're falling out of bounds, they call time out.

891
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 14: Now you to we could you know it? Could be done,

892
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 14: and they changed that rule to where you couldn't do

893
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 14: it anymore. And it's evidently they must have brought it back.

894
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 14: Do you know if they had brought that back or

895
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 14: and when they brought it back?

896
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 2: I think, Todd, you just have to have a foot

897
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: on the ground. You can't be jumping out of bounds

898
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: mid air and call the time out. So like that

899
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: that one play where they threw it down to O

900
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: Way in the corner. If his foot doesn't touch out,

901
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 2: he could have called it time out. He could have

902
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: burned one there, but instead he got his got his

903
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: toe on the line. It was a turnover that that

904
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: made fan time out right, correct? Correct?

905
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, But I wasn't really talking about our game to

906
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 14: night on that. I just have watched other college games

907
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 14: and guys be appear to be in the air flying

908
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 14: out of bounds. They called time out and refere it

909
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 14: gives them the time out, And I thought, well, I

910
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 14: didn't think that was I thought they stopped that, you know,

911
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 14: And then I saw it again. I thought, well, maybe

912
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 14: they brought it back. I just liked to know when

913
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 14: they brought it back.

914
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if they've actually brought it back

915
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 2: or not, Todd, But I do appreciate you calling in

916
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: and hanging out with this on the local Toyota Dealers

917
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: KSR post game show, I did. I do like that

918
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: they brought out the coaches challenge rule and another one

919
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: give credit where credits due, Pope. Sometimes you're like, are

920
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: you sure you.

921
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 12: Want to do this?

922
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: But he is, he is a good challenger.

923
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's two for two the other night, right, Yeah,

924
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: and now he's he got that one and.

925
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: And you're just you worry seven minutes in the first half,

926
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 2: are you really going to do it now? But the

927
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: guys knew, the players knew, and it was clearly out

928
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: on a cuff that was a quick, quick reversal.

929
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. Let's keep it rolling before we gotta

930
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 3: take a break.

931
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: Let's go. Let's get rolling rolling like biscuit.

932
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 3: Zella is up next.

933
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 4: Hi, Hey, Zella, sirs, time long time?

934
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: Who ah?

935
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 15: After going one in one, where do you think we

936
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 15: sit on seating?

937
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 9: Hmmm?

938
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: Uh so, Zella. I don't know where the bracketology might

939
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: have us exactly. I feel like this is a team

940
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 2: that's probably around a seven six seven and could get

941
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: his high as a five. But I mean, you got

942
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 2: to be near the top of the SEC at the

943
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 2: end of the year. You got to be playing for

944
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 2: one of those top four bys. So I predict that

945
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 2: Kentucky's going to be in that seven to ten games.

946
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 2: So with the two seed waiting for him in the

947
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: round of thirty two.

948
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 15: Hey, here's my sister.

949
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,440

Speaker 3: Look at that. Yeah, that was a good call.

955
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, although I mean it's the eleven, it's probably right.

956
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: You got to let the kids stay up after big wins.

957
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: That's core memories.

959
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: run the energy out too, just kind of run it out.

960
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 2: There's no run outside. It's too called to be running

961
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: around outside.

962
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: It run around.

963
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: So we we had we called it Rausch Arena and

964
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: the the basement where we had a full court of

965
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 2: Fisher Price goals. And when I say full court, I

966
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 2: mean is the size of this small room right, you know,

967
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,839

993
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,959
Speaker 2: Kentucky escapes with an eighty five seventy seven win. We've

994
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 2: got one final segment here on the local Toyota Dealers

995
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: KSR postgame show. I'm Nick Rousch, he's Billy Rutledge. Man,

996
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: this has been fun time fives. When you're having fun, Billy.

997
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: It does.

998
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: And it's great to have you in studio. You know

Speaker 1: you drove up for this. Yeah, so I appreciate that.

1000
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 3: And Kentucky wins a game where they only hit six

1001
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 3: three pointers.

1002
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 2: Nick, which when they went on that five game winning streak,

1003
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 2: A big part of that was because of their three

1004
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 2: point shooting. Okay, it's got hot, right when you're making

1005
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 2: a bunch of threes, it's easy. They had to grit

1006
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: and grind this one out classic college basketball game where

1007
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: forty five fouls are called in a forty minute game.

1008
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 2: The Dug Show show, everybody and you know what have

Speaker 2: out rule.

1012
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: Okay, well you don't even need to have a foot down.

1013
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 3: Is that what you're doing?

1014
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they brought that back a couple of years ago.

1015
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 3: Once you have the ball, yeah, all the time out.

1016
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,360

1031
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 11: have been a KSR listener for a very long time,

1032
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 11: and I've also been a listener of the KSR postgame

1033
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 11: pre game you name It podcast blah blah blah. This

1034
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 11: is the very first time I have ever called in

1035
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 11: to a UK postgame show because I know how hard

1036
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 11: it is to get in, especially if I match there.

1037
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 11: So this is my inaugural effort.

1038
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 2: Soky me, you did it, you made it.

1039
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 11: I finally made it in and it's it's awesome. Let

1040
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 11: me let me tell you something, like, guys, I have

1041
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 11: a unique perspective. I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas in

1042
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 11: two thousand and one for a job. Was down there

1043
00:48:55,200 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 11: till end of twenty fourteen. The first eight games that

1044
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 11: Kentucky played Arkansas after I moved to Arkansas, we won.

1045
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 11: So I was flying my flag loud and proud. So

1046
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 11: I have a unique perspective on what Arkansas is, what

1047
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 11: they think of basketball, you know, so on and so on.

1048
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: You know how much they hate Kentucky like they they

1049
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: probably hate Kentucky more than any other school, right because

1050
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: they don't they don't really have a rival, like a

1051
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 2: true rival. It feels like, particularly in basketball, they they

1052
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: get their knives out for Kentucky. There's no whin They

1053
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: want more than to beat Kentucky every year and it

1054
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 2: doesn't happen often.

1055
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 11: You are correct. And I'll tell you this long before

1056
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 11: I moved there. Obviously, the epic Kentucky Arkansas SEC championship

1057
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 11: game Robert Grose miss as the free throws goes over time,

1058
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 11: We're down nine with like ten mint their ten seconds left,

1059
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 11: come back and win it. I mean, it was a

1060
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 11: huge robbery in nineties obviously, Patino and and uh and

1061
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,479
Speaker 11: uh it you know, And I was there when when

1062
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 11: Norman Richardson unfortunately lost that game in O one, and

1063
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 11: that's when he kind of you know, I don't want

1064
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 11: to get into that stuff. Yeah, he he lost his

1065
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 11: wig there and it went south and blah blah, and

1066
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 11: you know, Arkansas fans didn't care much for basketball after that.

1067
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 11: She's sure they were huge in the nineties. Obviously he

1068
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 11: won a title and and when the next year they

1069
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 11: came back and lost in the championship game. But anyway,

1070
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 11: it's it's interesting I had such a unique respect. But

1071
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 11: what I want to kind of get at for this

1072
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 11: game at least, is that, uh, you know, we we

1073
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 11: suffered that lost last year at home to Cal and

1074
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 11: and it was funny. I was. I listened to a

1075
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 11: lot of radio shows during the during the week and

1076
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 11: and everybody's like, you know, Cal always kind of left

1077
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 11: his guard down in one big game where he's huge,

1078
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 11: you know, he's a huge favorite, and YadA, YadA, YadA.

1079
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 11: And I'll be honest, I didn't think we had a shot.

1080
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 11: But after the first few minutes when we were fourteen

1081
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 11: to five, I think I was like, man, this just

1082
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 11: feels like one of those games. And it played itself

1083
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 11: out referee tried to referee tried to alter it.

1084
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 8: Man.

1085
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 11: I you know, I have I know two shows. I know,

1086
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 11: a good shows and the bad shows. And the bad

1087
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 11: show showed up at the worst time, and I thought

1088
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 11: he's gonna cost us. Man, our guys came back. Man,

1089
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 11: I don't know where this team's gonna go. It's flawed.

1090
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 11: We have a lot of injuries and all that kind

1091
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 11: of nuts and everything everybody talked about. But it was

1092
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 11: it was very satisfying watch at the night. I'm only

1093
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 11: I'm only two days removed for my birthday, so I'm

1094
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 11: taking this as a birthday present. Very happy, very happy

1095
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 11: about it, very happy about it. Nick, You're the man.

1096
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 5: I know.

1097
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 11: I think last year you're the only one to pick

1098
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 11: the game the other way, but she picked it the

1099
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 11: other way this year too, So good on you, brother,

1100
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 11: keep doing what you do.

1101
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, man, and I'm glad you got to

1102
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 2: drink up that birthday win, even though it is a

1103
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 2: little bladed. Yeah, birthdays you get a little bit older, Billy,

1104
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 2: they don't it don't matter as much.

1105
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, do they mean anything? After twenty six because then

1106
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: I had to get my own health.

1107
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 2: Care, you know, you hit thirty. Like thirty, it's like, okay,

1108
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: we'll do something fun for it. So you know, you

1109
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 2: maybe you make an excuse to go out a little

1110
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 2: bit more. But no, they don't matter as much. What

1111
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: does matter is when you go out you get a

1112
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: big win on the road, and the Cats they got

1113
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: one tonight. Man, tastes so sweet.

1114
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 3: It sure does.

1115
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I do wish. So it's not this week, but

1116
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 2: it's the next week where there's not a midweek game.

1117
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 2: Kind of it would have been nice if you just

1118
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 2: got to sit in this one a little bit, roll

1119
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: around in it, bathe in it a little more. But Oklahoma,

1120
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: They're coming to Reparna nine pm, late tip off on

1121
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: Wednesday night.

1122
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 3: A rup Evan is up next.

1123
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 9: Nick rash Evan, my man. I was telling my wife

1124
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 9: before the game, how excited I was about you doing

1125
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 9: the postgame tonight, because I said, if the Cats somehow

1126
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 9: pull off an upset, I'm calling in because Nick rash

1127
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 9: is the absolute man.

1128
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: About that.

1129
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, so all this chatter about Pope, I mean, obviously

1130
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 9: there are some deficiencies there. We all know about them.

1131
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 9: We're concerned about recruiting next year.

1132
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 2: Got to be my all, my family.

1133
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 9: Members and friends that are a huge UK fans. For

1134
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 9: some reason, they will not give enough merit to the

1135
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 9: fact that Pope is coaching a team without three starters

1136
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 9: right now? Yeah three And listen, we listened to Goose

1137
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 9: Givings on the Leach Report or postgame talking about practice

1138
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 9: and timing and everything. How important is to have your

1139
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 9: team spending time together and jailing. The fact that we

1140
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 9: go out there and win a road game against the

1141
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 9: top fifteen team with the Hall of Fame coach and

1142
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 9: get that win without three starters is absolutely massive for

1143
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 9: a program and I'm so happy for Mark, Pope and

1144
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 9: the entire team. The second about this, Take the Chicago

1145
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 9: Bulls when they won the six titles. Take three starters

1146
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 9: off that team. Do they win any titles?

1147
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 7: No?

1148
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean they figure it out. If it's you know,

1149
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 2: Horace Grant and Steve Kerr and who's another one of

1150
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 2: those random three? But Bill Cartwright there you go. Maybe

1151
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: they could figure it out because you know, Otega is

1152
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 2: our Jordan. But it's it's hard to do it. And

1153
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 2: I think the other part that makes it hard to

1154
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: evan that we overlook it's not just that Pope got

1155
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 2: a different kind of player this year he got. It's

1156
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 2: a very young team, a very inexperienced team. I mean

1157
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: the minutes that Trenton and Malachi Mareno like these guys,

1158
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: they don't. They didn't have a bunch of minutes under

1159
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: their belt going into this year. They Mo did.

1160
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 9: Bonte Moe was smarter from tonight because he didn't take

1161
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 9: any goofy outside shots, played his ass off, got huge rebounds,

1162
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 9: played great defense, and then Otega's defense on a cuff

1163
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 9: was spectacular tonight. But let me finish the call by

1164
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 9: saying one thing. I've got a crazy cousin in Russell County, Kentucky,

1165
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 9: Jonathan Grider aka Jy Rock, my two man partner for

1166
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 9: the infamous Rolling Hills two man championship that we won

1167
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 9: this past year. He sent a text to my famous

1168
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 9: stream this morning he called this win this morning. So

1169
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 9: tudos to Jay Rock Grider. Congratulations, he won a bunch

1170
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 9: of money.

1171
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe kat go, congrats. It feels good to align

1172
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 2: your pockets with DraftKings. Money always feels good.

1173
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,240
Speaker 1: Who else predicted the Cats win today?

1174
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 2: I know a guy who was Danson jumping up and

1175
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: down line in his pockets with some DraftKings cash. The problem.

1176
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: The hard part is Otega away is your Jordan. I

1177
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: mean normally he should be your second or third guy, right,

1178
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: not the guy, but.

1179
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 2: I mean he was the guy down the stretch last year.

1180
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 2: He was awesome and they did into Oklahoma games. Now

1181
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 2: the part where you can be like that, yes, Pope's

1182
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 2: down three starters, but let's be honest, it was a

1183
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: gamble that he was ever going to have one of

1184
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: those guys. But Jane quaints, which I know you'll heard

1185
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: the comments earlier this week that he's kind of a

1186
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: shutdown mode. Like it's, uh, if he's back great, If not,

1187
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 2: so be it. But Pope did only get one ball

1188
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 2: handler and that guy got hurt in Jalen Law. Yeah,

1189
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,439
Speaker 2: and so I think if you were like, well maybe

1190
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: in a pinch, Aberdeen can get us a game or two,

1191
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 2: well he's having to do a lot more of that

1192
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: this year. And you know what, to his credit, that guy,

1193
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: there's a time Billy where he was like, what are

1194
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 2: these shots? He's taken leaps and bounds, But he is, Yes,

1195
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: he is. He has rained it back in their figure.

1196
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 2: Now they're figuring out their roles. They've got a good

1197
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 2: feel for how to play with one another right now.

1198
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 2: And that's what's gonna make the end of this year fun.

1199
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 2: And I know this is a sea, this is this

1200
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: is a sport that's defined by postseason success. But we

1201
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 2: got to enjoy the rock. It's gonna be a wild one.

1202
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: There's some more ups and downs, there's gonna be there

1203
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 2: might be another twenty five point loss, but you know what,

1204
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: there's probably gonna be another crazy woe like this.

1205
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 3: So it's been a crazy year.

1206
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 2: Yep. Who else? We got Billy Crystal, Crystal, Hey, how

1207
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 2: are we doing?

1208
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 11: Hello?

Speaker 2: today too.

1212
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 15: I'm so honored you take our call.

1213
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 14: Thank you.

1214
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 15: So I'm married into Big Glue Nation. I'm West Virginia girl,

1215
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 15: and my husband's a Kentucky fans and I just we

1216
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 15: listen to y'all every day, two hours a day, and

1217
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 15: we love you and we respect you, and we're thankful

1218
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 15: you'd take the Carl. But I predicted we would win

1219
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 15: this game, and he's like, there's no way, no way,

1220
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 15: And he, as practical as he is, went through all

1221
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 15: my rituals. We hung our flag, we got our cross,

1222
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 15: we did all the things and we won, and I'm

1223
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 15: just so stoked and I'm so excited and.

1224
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 14: Just so happy.

1225
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, we're so happy that you got it

1226
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 2: figured out. You married right, you married in the right family,

1227
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: you know, And it could be it could be tough too.

1228
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get like a split household. I you know,

1229
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: a house divided. I married a uf L cardinal bird,

1230
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 2: so I got to deal with the house divided. Soff

1231
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 2: sometimes Crystal can be taught.

1232
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 15: Oh my goodness, We're just so happy. And I want

1233
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 15: to say, pants off, dance off to Ryan. We are

1234
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 15: on his side.

1235
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 2: I would Ryan to keep his pants on. Thank you, Crystal.

1236
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: I don't you mean Crystal. Now I'm thinking about rhyme

1237
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 2: with his pants off. We don't need that that image

1238
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 2: in people's minds.

1239
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: Like I saw these videos from Mario of Ryan celebrate

1240
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: and taking a shirt off, standing on the bar like always,

1241
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: and then like Mario uploaded another video forty minutes later,

1242
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: he still got a shirt off. He's still running around

1243
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: party and there's a conga line of people with their sharetop.

1244
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 2: It tarps off for the night. It could be a

1245
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 2: late one. Let's do it. Paul is up next, Paul, y'all,

1246
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 2: what's up man?

1247
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 5: How are we doing?

1248
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 11: An?

1249
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: I fellas.

1250
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 14: I got just a.

1251
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 5: Couple of things ended on Doug shows is the most

1252
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 5: worthless piece of human flesh on the planet. The guy

1253
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 5: shouldn't be calling special Olympics dodgeball matches. And going back

1254
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 5: to one thing you mentioned earlier in the show about

1255
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 5: the Arkansas bench. Is it just me or does Brad

1256
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 5: Carey where Brad Calipari look like a total Louisville man.

1257
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 9: He does have a good night.

1258
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: He does have a little bit of that Louisville manaqua,

1259
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: the Louisville man. I mean, would anybody be shocked if

1260
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: there was a little mini bottle of Coron Royal in

1261
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: that inside pocket?

1262
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 3: Well, you're living in Fayetteville.

1263
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: Now, maybe a little garbage cane juice, garbage, remember that one?

1264
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: That one?

1265
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1266
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 2: Oh Brad, what a jim earned? Not giving.

1267
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 3: Two more? Two more?

1268
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Nick, let's do it?

1269
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 3: I finish strong here?

1270
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 2: Oh so strong?

1271
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:23,479
Speaker 3: Hunter is up.

1272
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 6: Next, Billy.

1273
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 16: It's great to talk to you guys. I think we

1274
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 16: need to have a petition for Nick to take over

1275
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 16: fade this with both predictions in back to back years

1276
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 16: oh hey. I mean if he's good with it, like

1277
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 16: I say, let him go, let him cook potential. That's

1278
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 16: the biggest thing that we've heard this entire year is

1279
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 16: like this team has potential.

1280
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 7: We've seen him beat.

1281
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 16: Like the bad teams by thirty forty, which most great

1282
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 16: teams do, but when it came time to show it

1283
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 16: in the actual good games, they haven't shown that potential

1284
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 16: that we know that they have until the last two weeks,

1285
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 16: until the Tennessee, until today when we went out and

1286
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 16: we showed whose boss. I'm loving the Arkansas Tears Doug

1287
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 16: show can eat it. I hope he stubs his toe.

1288
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 16: I hope that both sides of his pillows are warm

1289
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 16: today tonight when he goes to bed, and I'll leave,

1290
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 16: I'll leave with this a quote from our previous from

1291
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 16: a former player who tweeted this when Arkansas won last year.

1292
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 16: Good old Tye ty Washington walked into the trap, took

1293
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 16: over their trap.

1294
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm a good night, guys, taking that dog back to

1295
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: the Lex. Shout out Tyrese Maxey. He did that back

1296
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. Took that dove back to the Lex.

1297
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 11: Uh.

1298
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 3: Tom had a good line tonight.

1299
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: He was talking about shows and he said shows spoke

1300
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: on the PA more than the PA announced.

1301
01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh man, Dug shows great whipping boy as easy to

1302
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 2: gang up on him because that guy, he loves to

1303
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 2: be in the middle, middle of it all. We really

1304
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 2: lost something. We lost TV Teddy, but Doug shows he's

1305
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 2: picking up the slack boy.

1306
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 3: But I was going through it those during those thirty

1307
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 3: eight seconds, we all were very different post.

1308
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: Question you know what exactly? Now we just get to

1309
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 2: laugh at him for being bad, not mad at him

1310
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 2: for causing us a game, because this team showed toughness.

1311
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: His team showed fight, and they showed it against a

1312
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 2: team that was more talented them or saw was a

1313
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 2: very talented team, and the Cats controlled went the entire way.

1314
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 2: Hell of a win. Hell of a win. We got

1315
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,040
