Speaker 1: like you know, beat basketball.

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: You were telling me you you thought we would beat

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: Auburn last week.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I did. I thought we would beat Auburn because

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: I think the way they play, I think we have

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: good athletes from one to five, and I just felt

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: that they were gonna beat them.

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: Did you do you have that same kind of feeling

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: here today?

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes. I watched Alabama when they played Florida and

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: I said, man, this is a good matchup. We got

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: a lot of athletes on our team. What it makes

33
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: us dangerous. We can score from one to five and

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: that's pretty scary, and I think they're gonna play really

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: good today.

36
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: You you've been a big fan all year of Rob Dillingham.

37
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: That second half against LSU.

38
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: I know we lost, but that second half was was

39
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: something special.

40
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Wasn't it? And you know I'm a big fan of his.

41
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: But everybody, I'll be lying if I say when he

42
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: took that last shot, I was like, oh, and then

43
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: he hit it.

44
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no, yes.

45
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: He's instant offense. He mind me of a guy in

46
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: my generation of Vinnie to Michael Wave. He can get

47
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: points just.

48
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Like that oh Vinnie Johnson reference.

49
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he get points for Vinny was a big dude though,

50
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: but the same kind of you know concept that can score.

51
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: He had a little Uh he had a little like

52
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: sort of you know, football play like a little bit.

53
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Uh he if I'm nine to two, eight oh twenty

54
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: two eighty seven, we so let's talk a little bit.

55
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the basketball game and all that,

56
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: but I know people want to hear if you haven't

57
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: talked to you since, you know, since the since the

58
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 2: change at OC, how did do you love the new guy?

59
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about Bush Hamden Hamden Hampden.

60
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: Uh, I'll tell you what, man. You know, Bush is

61
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: really uh a guy that we knew, we knew from

62
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: when he was at Missouri. Uh, He's he's really a

63
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: smart guy. Uh no ego. He just comes in and

64
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: he you know, he's saying, I'm the coordinator. But hey,

65
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: we all gonna do this all together. And I think

66
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: what our fans gonna be very excited about is how

67
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: he goes about run game throwing the ball. I think

68
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a variation of both. I think Mark

69
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: Steus gotta give him a lot of a lot of credit.

70
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: He kept it very quiet, and uh, they.

71
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Kept it very quiet, like like not until the day before.

72
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: Did people kind of you think he did that on

73
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: purpose this time, so that there was no like noise

74
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: on the outside.

75
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: One thing I've been knowing Mark a long time. One

76
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: thing about him, He don't want anybody to influence his decision.

77
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: So I think he kept it very quiet to his chest,

78
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: and when he made his decision, he was good with

79
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 3: And it is a really good hire. I'm telling you,

80
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: it's a really good hire. Well good. The players seem

81
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: to like the guy. Yes, you know, it's kind of

82
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: like I hate to say that when somebody get divorced

83
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: and then the dad leaves, and then maybe the mom

84
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: get remarried and the dad comes in and he has

85
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: to really you know, get the kids to buy into him.

86
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: And I think our guys are very excited about him.

87
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. So he's like the new step dad. Yeah,

88
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: something like that.

89
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: Our fans gonna really love him. Go. He's a really

90
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: really good, good guy.

91
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 2: Good and I'm liking the group. We'll talk more about

92
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: it as we go, but let's let's.

93
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Talk a little basketball.

94
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: This has been a really odd year because Kentucky has

95
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: all this talent and you know, has been has dipped

96
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: up and down watching from afar, you know, you know

97
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: what it's like to have a team that everybody has

98
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: high expectations for. Maybe they're bumps in the row. That

99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: team two years ago was probably like that somewhat. The

100
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: football team, Yeah, what do you think it's like actually

101
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 2: having to play through that as a player.

102
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: And a coach, you know.

103
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: And I'll be the first to always say, I mean,

104
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: we're doing good things at football, but I mean this

105
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: is traditionally this is a basketball I mean, you're gonna

106
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 3: hear me saying it's a basketball school with football coming

107
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: up and being respectable and still climbing. I just think

108
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: every game they play, whether they playing a Division II

109
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: school or a no name school, is everybody super Bowl

110
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: or Nationville Championship for them. So they always have to

111
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: be up. And you know, when you're playing when they

112
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: play thirty.

113
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Games, they play thirty one done twenty six.

114
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: So just think you gotta be on your p's and

115
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: q's and be ready to go. And these are nineteen

116
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: and some eighteen year old kids, And I just feel

117
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: I told people, just told a lot of my friends this.

118
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: When March rolls around, they just got to win what

119
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: seven games? I think six. I'm putting my money on them, guys,

120
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: because they got some talent man, and they and and

121
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: and they actually playing defense better and better, but they

122
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: always gonna play offense. And uh, you know, when you

123
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: can score, you got a great When you can score,

124
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: that helps. I mean that's been the problem in the

125
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: last few years.

126
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: So you watch the LSU game, they had the end

127
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: of game, kind of a bad luck situation.

128
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: Again, you've been through that as a coach.

129
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: How does if you have that loss, you think the

130
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: guys just kind of they are for fans, there's a hangover.

131
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: For players, they just want to get back on the

132
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: court and go.

133
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, coaches players, they do. And you know, they got

134
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: a big game come up to day. So I just felt,

135
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: you know, they played that game. It was a tight game.

136
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: They play very, very very I thought they played really

137
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: well and to come back for this big game, they

138
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: gonna be up ready for this. I think the crowd

139
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: has to get involved.

140
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: When you get involved, you're down there yelling the whole game.

141
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a fan, You're it almost every game. Yes,

142
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of the basketball team. I want them

143
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: guys to do well. Got a lot of friends on

144
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: the staff, so I'm really always pulling for them.

145
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I think that.

146
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: To me, part of what's interesting about today's game is

147
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: you have a Antonio Reeves and Mark Sears, two guys

148
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: who are playing. They're probably two of the three contenders

149
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: for SEC Player of the Year, along with the kid

150
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: at Tennessee connect. You get those guys, those two playing

151
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: against each other, and I'm not saying that that's going

152
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: to be for the entire player of the year, but

153
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance. And so this is a

154
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: big time game for those guys. And then on Alabama side,

155
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: I think if Alabama wins this game, they're almost assured

156
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: to win the SEC. So there's a lot going on.

157
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: If you're Alabama, you got a chance to maybe get

158
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: a top two seed if you win. If you get Kentucky,

159
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 2: you got a chance to get your third best win

160
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: of the year. I mean, this is a massive game

161
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: I think for both teams and the individuals playing.

162
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: First, Antonio Reeves is really I mean, man, I always

163
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: knew he was a good player.

164
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: How abouch has he improved?

165
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Say, he has took his game to another level. I

166
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: was watching him against LSU and I said, man, this

167
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: guy's an NBA player now. I mean, he can score

168
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: from every level. He can drive, he can shoot the

169
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: short little dumper, and he can shoot the three, and

170
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: he's playing good defense. So I really believe he's going

171
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: to be a first round pick, like later rounds as

172
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: he keeps playing for me, and it's just for me.

173
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: When I start talking about Kentucky basketball, it's these guys

174
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: I think they see. If I don't know if Alabama

175
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: do you consider one of the top teams in the country.

176
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: I think there are notch below them, but they're like

177
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: seven to ten, six to ten maybe.

178
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: So when I watch them and I look at our

179
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: roster and I say, hey, this team is like night

180
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: and day. They can at one minute they can be

181
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: like the number one team in the country, and then

182
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 3: our fans, you know, if they lose a game, it's like, well.

183
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: What do you see is the different?

184
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: I mean, for a lot of fans, they sit there

185
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: and go Auburn is one of the two or three

186
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: hardest places to play in America, and they went down

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: there and dominated that game, yes, and then they lose

188
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: it home to a Gonzaga team that's on the bubble, Like,

189
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: how does that happen? As a coach, I know it's

190
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: a different sport. But how do you explain how you

191
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: can get such different performances based on the.

192
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: Game Because they're eighteen and nineteen years old, and you

193
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: know they I like it's a good and bad. They

194
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: don't look at the moment if they go to Auburn,

195
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: it's just Auburn. But fans seeing it as you going

196
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: into a trap and you shouldn't win this game. But

197
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: them young boys, all the freshmen, they look at it like, hey,

198
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: we playing basketball, and then I look at when they

199
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 3: lose sometimes. Man, you planning, you're getting everybody's best every

200
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: game to come in to rep Arena and playing that arena.

201
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: That's like going to the Mecca man of basketball. And

202
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: guys wanted, Hey, they figure if you played wekains Kentucky

203
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: in there, I may got a shot of going to

204
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: the NBA. That's true, you know. And then lake Max

Speaker 3: What's that like?

228
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: How do you keep that distraction.

229
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Out of the locker room and and the staff because

230
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: you know, you guys were there a few years back

231
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: before right before awesome againn has hit that kick against

232
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: Mississippi State whatever year that was. How do you how

233
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: do you just like tune all that out and try

234
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: to make sure you keep your team focused.

235
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think how you deal with that first it

236
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: comes from like administration. So they stayed calm, and you

237
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 3: see Mitch Bard, Harden and Mark Hill them type of

238
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: guys where they like I can always say, like, well

239
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: we lost a couple of games. That's probably the best

240
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: one Mitch and Mark Hill was they had come around

241
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: and we kind of down on a Sunday, watch a

242
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: film and you come in. They're like, Hey, we're gonna

243
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 3: be all right, blah blah blah. Same thing. I think

244
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: they do the same thing with Kyle. But I think

245
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: Kyle's doing a good job of just getting in the

246
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: bunker and telling his guys, Hey, we in this together.

247
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: We gonna shock a lot of peoples as the year

248
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: goes on. And I'm one of them guys that believe

249
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: that they gonna do that.

250
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I saw I saw the basketball players.

251
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: They were, I guess having dinner last night, and it's

252
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: such a good reminder that these are just kids. So like,

253
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: we sit here and we analyze all these players and

254
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: what they do. And I'm walking downtown last night. They're

255
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: having dinner at a place I won't say it was,

256
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: but they were outside outside about to get in their car,

257
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: and it was justin Edwards and DJ Wagner and a

258
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: couple of the other guys and they're laughing and like

259
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: they're having fun. And you're like, these are kids, and

260
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: it's so easy to forget that. Like we're sitting there going,

261
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: oh is he in his head?

262
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: Is it?

263
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: This? Is this? And they're like, it's Friday night. Yes,

264
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm meeting with my friends. Yes, I'm having fun.

265
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: And you can just moments like that are very important

266
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: to remember that while we spend all this time, at

267
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: the end of the day, a lot of that stuff

268
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: is not in their minds at all. Right, They're just

269
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: getting there, just hanging out, and then they're ready to

270
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: go play basketball.

271
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: Right. And I think when Cayle says this, like you,

272
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: I hear them said a couple of times, like hey,

273
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: get on me. He does say that get on me

274
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: because I think he wants to take These guys are

275
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 3: young guys. I mean they going back. They lose a game,

276
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: but they going back to play PlayStation and xboxing all

277
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: that they do.

278
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: And I think fans sometimes see that and they go, Okay,

279
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: So this is a good thing for you to describe

280
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: because you're around players. Fans will see a guy, a

281
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: kid play not well or you know, we lose or whatever,

282
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: and then they'll see them go play PlayStation or go

283
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: play Xbox and they'll kind of be like, well do

284
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: they care? But I actually, I mean that's just the

285
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: way they process things. It doesn't mean they don't care, right,

286
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean you agree.

287
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: With that, yes, And let me tell you something. I

288
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: think we got the best fan base. And this ain't

289
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 3: me hyping them out. I think we got really good

290
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: fan base in the state of Kentucky. But I think

291
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: sometimes they can get lost sometimes with these kids. Is

292
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: no different if a parent got on their son and

293
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: he did something wrong and next thing they know, they

294
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: out there kicking the ball or playing places up in

295
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: their room. Do they not care what their parents said

296
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: to them. I think our kids want to win. It's

297
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: just that they still are young student athletes. And honest,

298
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys are treated like ryalty.

299
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: So it's like but there and there's pro and CONTI that, yes, right,

300
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: that's what you get with. But that's I mean, the

301
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: cow used to always say, I can't hide you like

302
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: this is Kentucky. This is what it is. But there

303
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: is a pro in the con when it's good. I

304
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: say this all the time. When it's good, there ain't

305
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: no place better. When it's bad, this could be one

306
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: of the harder places to play for players, for players, yes, yes,

307
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I mean and for coaches yeah. I mean

308
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: when it was rolling here, who was happier than cat

309
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: at But when it's hard, it's hard, yes, you know

310
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 2: what I mean. That's but that's what you get in

311
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: some ways for being in a place where people care

312
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: so much, you'd.

313
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: Rather do that.

314
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, is the coach, would you rather

315
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: have that than have place where you can't get people

316
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: to care?

317
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: No, because then the competition and just being the drive

318
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: to win, it's not there because nobody cares. You know,

319
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: you need sometimes somebody to push you over the hump.

320
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: I mean when we were losing, you know, when we

321
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: first got here and you hear fans just saying, please

322
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: just get us to a bowl game. They just want

323
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: us to win six games. Now we have won ten

324
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: but twice in five six years and nine and eight,

325
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: and now they're looking at it's like, hey, does that

326
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: frustrate you?

327
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: Because you remember what it was like when you won

328
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: two the first year When you hear people go, why

329
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: can't they get over the hump?

330
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: Why can't bowls?

331
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 3: Not? Like?

332
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: Does that frustrate you?

333
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: Nah? You know, I'm me and steps from the same place.

334
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: We don't run from you know, expectations, but it's like,

335
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: you know, we're there. We're very close. If them two

336
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: ten win seasons, we would have been in the playoffs

337
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: when it was twelve twelve games twelve teams now, so

338
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: I just think now we are getting there. We are

339
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: very close, and I'm very excited where we're going. We'll

340
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: be talking football. I'm very excited where we're going.

341
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: A five nine two twenty two eighty seven.

342
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: If you have a question for Vince, and I'll probably

343
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: be honestly for Vance and for being honest.

344
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: They can talk to me anytime. They can't talk to

345
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: you all the time. You could give it. We it's

346
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: Cats in Alabama.

347
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky opened up at one and a half point favorite,

348
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: now three and a half. The money's coming on the Cats.

349
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: We will take a break and be right back. This

350
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: is the Kentucky Select Chevy Dealers KSR pregame show.

351
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,400

Speaker 2: game here today. Place is full right now with pregame stuff,

355
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: but it'll clear out for people to go to the game,

356
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: and probably starting around three, it would be a good

357
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: time to get here and get your seat for the game.

358
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: It's a fun place. I was here watching the game

359
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Vince, and then we lost at

360
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: the end and it was deflighting. You talk about people

361
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: leaving a place the moment when we leave, they were

362
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: places cleared out in thirty seconds. People were sad after

363
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: a loss.

364
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: It's like that and rough too though.

365
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that line of unfortunate. I've seen it

366
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: online where it was on Twitter and she's showing the

367
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: last seconds and it was like you saw me.

368
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,880

00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: You know, during the SEC tournament NCAA tournament, we're gonna

374
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: it's happy and not sad during nothing. All right, we

Speaker 3: I'd say mine's probably the game.

390
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Against Houston in the Sweet.

391
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Sixteen a couple of years ago with the PJ block

392
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: and then the hero three. Well, first of all, Iron

Speaker 2: Eagle is on the game. Do you know I am,

394
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: by the way, the announcer. He's like one of my

395
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: favorite games ever. He does NFL. I don't think he

396
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: does call No, No, I heard NFL in college basketball, and

397
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,120

398
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: T and T guys. Go he'll be here, So you know,

399
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: Vince hasn't been around as well as me. I mean,

400
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: the most famous calls Jeff Brasso with the Bill Rafter,

401
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: who's at the game today with his Brasso call, Tayshawn

402
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: Prince puppy set off the.

403
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Bus shooting the three.

404
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: Jay Williams, even though he annoyed everybody, had a great

405
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: call that Dillingham layup the other day. Sarah, what's since

406
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: you've been here, what's the basketball moment that you remember

407
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: the most?

408
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: The play? The shot? Which one was a.

409
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: Twin Aaron Harrison. We flew to Indianapolis and I think

410
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 3: they played Michigan, either Michigan or Louisvivan he hit a three.

411
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: No, no, it was well, both Michigan, Louisville and Wisconsin.

412
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: Three straight games he hit a three.

413
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: I'm telling you it was. It was. It was actually

414
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: Louisville because I remember I was very a little more

415
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: excited when he did that. So yeah, that was my

416
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 3: moment when he hit that. It was a big time three.

417
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Hit That was I've said this a lot. I think

418
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: that Louisville twenty fourteen game was one of the more

419
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: exciting wins ever because it was Louisville. Yes, I think

420
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: they were, they were favored, they were probably better than us,

421
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: and then to beat them in Indianapolis, I just it

422
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: was elite eight Sweet sixteen, Sweet sixteen, Sweet sixteen, Yes, yes,

423
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: and then they beat Michigan.

424
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: We stayed there for the two days. We stayed for

425
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 3: that game and we went up with ray Ball rested soa,

426
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: but we went up with him to watch that game. Yeah,

427
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: it was very good.

428
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: Did you Has there been any player that since you've

429
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: been a coach you've particularly gotten to know or liked

430
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: it all? Remember you on the basketball team. I remember

431
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: you had like some sort of relationship with Kevin Knox.

432
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 3: Sharon Knocks Me and his dad was teammates. We were

433
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: roommates and teammates on the road and we played with Buffalo.

434
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: He's in the same draft. H Tyler le Less because

435
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: I like Taylor because he's really on Ohio Guyama lima

436
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: guy from a couple of guys I recruited out there.

437
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 3: But I just like man, he was just so tough,

438
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 3: really tough and right now reed Shepherd because he played

439
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: au with my nephew John, I'm really.

440
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Really Are you surprised how great he's been?

441
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: No, because I told somebody the story, like it's one

442
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: thing when he does it here in Kentucky high school.

443
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: But I watched him play against some really good players

444
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: who didn't look like him, that were highly recruited guys

445
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: in AU and he tore him up, and I was like,

446
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: it was.

447
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Interesting about him.

448
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: He always played better in AAU than he did in

449
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: Kentucky high school basketball. It was almost when the competition

450
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: got better, he got better, yes, which I think is

451
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: a sign of a dude who can play.

452
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: Dude, I'm telling that dude's a good player. I don't

453
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: care what knowing he is now, I see why people

454
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: are saying he like a top ten He is his

455
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: IQ for basketball and making the right plays and just

456
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: hitting key shots. When you watch a lot of our games,

457
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: he hit a lot of key shots keep us going.

458
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: I just think he's the man.

459
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of top ten, where in next year's draft is

460
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Dione Walker gonna go?

461
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: I think Deyon Walker has the talent. He can go

462
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: anywhere from one to ten.

463
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: You think he's that good, Well, first of all, I

464
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: know he's that good. You think he'll end up being

465
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: that highly projected?

466
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 3: I think if and what he's doing right now, he's

467
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: in the lap getting just really really getting his body right.

468
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: The talent, the talent speaks for himself. He's a first

469
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 3: top ten talent. He has to really really take an

470
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: the next level, like Josh Allen did, But I'm telling

471
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: you he is not far from that.

472
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: Since you've been at Kentucky, would you say Josh Allen's

473
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: the best player you've had.

474
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: Here, I'll say yes.

475
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: And where does he compare to him? Because Josh Allen

476
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: was the top five.

477
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: Bit where does he? Where do these compared to I

478
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: think Josh was different man. He just he was. He

479
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 3: was a machine. And Josh did it four years. I

480
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be three years for him. Yeah, And

481
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: you cannot coach six seven can move now and he

482
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: can started. He can he can actually start a tight end.

483
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: He can start at left tackle.

484
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: I still think the most interesting thing about Josh Allen

485
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: you had him in that class which was maybe your

486
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: most highly touted class up to that what up to

487
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: that point and then maybe even since, I mean there's

488
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: only been one or two comparative to it. He was

489
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: the lowest rank recruit in the class. And I remember

490
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: doing the signing day show with Freddy Maggert. Freddy Magret said,

491
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: you know who my favorite person in this class is

492
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: Josh Allen And I went, come on, Freddy, he's the

493
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: lowest rike dude in the class. But he knew it

494
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: and todg Yes.

495
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: I looked at when we recruited him, his sister, like

496
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: Josh was like one ninety six four one ninety but

497
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was eating right. But I

498
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: looked to see his sister was like six three, probably

499
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: two thirty playing at two twenty planing at Louisville. She

500
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: was their starting center, okay, And I just felt once

501
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: he got in the program that his body and it

502
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 3: would just keep going. And he went from one ninety

503
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: eight to two twenty five, from two twenty five to

504
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: two thirty five, two thirty five to two sixty five.

505
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a hoss and he's doing great.

506
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 3: He's about to get a new contract.

507
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Who's next, Billy? About a minute, Brady, Brady got a minute?

508
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

509
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: Hey, uh, I just wanted to say about this game.

510
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: I was I'm kind of scarce because I feel like

511
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: we're either going to put up.

512
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: One hundred points and so is Alabama, or we're just

513
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 5: gonna get run off the court because they can score it,

514
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 5: soak it.

515
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: We I know, but I don't know. I just had

516
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: that feeling that it could end up like the Tennessee

517
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: game where you just can't seem.

518
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 2: To ever really get the right Hey on this second, Vince,

519
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: is what Nurse pond no I was just saying.

520
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: I understand why he saying that. But these are two

521
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: different teams.

522
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tennessee player, they were Tennessee not a great defensive

523
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: test team team this year, but better now Bama. Remember,

524
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: as bad as our defensive ratings are, there's one team

525
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five worse than us, and it's Alabama.

526
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: We're twenty fourth out of the top twenty five in defense.

527
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: They're twenty fifth.

528
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: Oh, I really like her.

529
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: So, I mean, that's the one team.

530
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: If you're gonna play and not like what if we score,

531
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: we'll be our Yes, but we gotta make shots and

532
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: we got to school. We're gonna take a break. A five,

533
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,119

540
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky and Alabama. Kentucky A three and a half point

541
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: favorite in Rupp Arena.

542
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 1: Should be a great crowd.

543
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of great crowds over the last

544
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: few weeks and then not been able to get the victory.

545
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully that changes today A five nine, two eight, twenty

546
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. Vince Merrow is my co host here.

547
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm watching Houston and Baylor. Baylor was down twenty five

548
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: points and now has the ball with a chance to

549
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 2: tie right at the end.

550
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 5: Uh.

551
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: Kelvin Sampson Scott Drew. I think two of the most

552
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: underrated coaches in the country played for the national championship

553
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: a few years back. I think, uh, and they are

554
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: playing right now in Waco.

555
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 3: Uh.

556
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: Vince, we were talking about this earlier.

557
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: You the freshman Son Reed Shepherd's played great, Delion Emmons

558
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 2: played great.

559
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Some of the other guys have struggled.

560
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: When guys come in with that high expectations, I mean

561
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: sometimes and when it doesn't work.

562
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: Out, that's tough on him, isn't it.

563
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because you know, with all these rankings like five

564
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 3: stars and high four stars, and when people annoint these

565
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: guys before they even play a game, it's it's tough.

566
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: If these guys don't if things don't go well for them.

567
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: And I really like the one kid. I think it's

568
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: like the number one player in the country at one time,

569
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: Bradshaw Wagner. I think he's a good player.

570
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: He's struggled since he's come back from the injury.

571
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's what's gonna be scary. He's gonna get right

572
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: right at the right time. Yeah, right at the right time.

573
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: When you when you recruit top talent, I mean it's

574
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: different football because you don't come in necessarily expecting.

575
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: To play right away. Or is that changing? Do now?

576
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: Guys expect to play right away.

577
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, and I'm gonna tell you

578
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: I learned this from Cal when I about Damien here

579
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: seeing to see Cal, and Cal was like, he said,

580
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: e Vince, I recruit NBA players, And I'm like, okay,

581
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 3: but you got college. He said, No, I recruit NBA players,

582
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 3: meaning they are NBA players right now. I'll say from

583
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen or sixteen, a lot of the top high

584
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: school kids that we recruited four stars, they actually played

585
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: as freshmen coming in. Yeah, I mean the expert we

586
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: knew like certain guy's gonna play. And it's the same

587
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: thing with these guys for the basketball team. They they

588
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: they get all that they're they're very talented, but it's

589
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: like things still have to go right for you for

590
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: it all the work out.

591
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: Give me the three guys that are in this incoming

592
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: class that could play for you in football next year.

593
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: Well I started with the one kid, uh, And I

594
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: know we loaded our room, but I think Willie Rodriguez

595
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: has a chance to come in and contribute, like the

596
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: tight end. The tight end, he's a he's he's six

597
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: four sixty five two forty and he's a he's a man.

598
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

599
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 3: I think, uh, you know one of the twins or

600
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson.

601
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: You have five people coming in next year, last named Smith.

602
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: How are you gonna get three of them? Start with

603
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: the letter J. Aren't you gonna get confused?

604
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 3: Nah? I think I'll tell you what Brad when we

605
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: did all his recruiting part, he really did a good

606
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: job assembling, like last all them guys on the side.

607
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 3: But I remember this one that I think I think

608
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 3: Ryan Nichols got a good chance. I really do think

609
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: that's one of your highest rated guys, right, he's he's

610
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: he has some kind of like Mike Edwards type.

611
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: Talent, so about him winning another Super Bowl.

612
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: Room talked to him. You know, I tell you what,

613
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: he's so lucky. And then now I was with Clint

614
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: last night. You know, Steve, Clintskale, he's the he's a

615
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: DV coaching now for the Chargers, and Mike's is a

616
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: free agent, and he's saying, Mike is like one of

617
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: their high guys.

618
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: How many guys?

619
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 2: How many guys get to play with Brady and Mahomes?

620
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 2: With Brady and Mahomes, that's awesome. Who's up next?

621
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Jerry? Jerry? Go ahead, Jerry?

622
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: Thence uh. In light of what the federal court did

623
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 4: yesterday and gave Tennessee what it wanted and throwing out

624
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 4: all the rules when it comes to recruiting, how are

625
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: small market schools like Kentucky, smaller donor schools going to

626
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: be able to bubble the Ohio States and Michigans and

627
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 4: the Texas a and M's of the world when it

628
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 4: comes to get enough players to be competitive?

629
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, do you know what happened yesterday?

630
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? And I'm mad, to be honest, like that's something

631
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: that our administration, Mark Hill, Rachel Baker, Alim dealing with

632
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: that part. But with the NIL part as us recruiting,

633
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: we still I feel we're doing a really good job.

634
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: I mean, we had a top twenty class this year.

635
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: We gonna get the players that we need to get,

636
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: and I think, you know, the state, the administration, everybody

637
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: has been very supportive.

638
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: So let me ask you on in ile. Okay, so

639
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: I've had a theory for a while. You tell me

640
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: if this theory is incorrect. I've kind of had the

641
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: theory that at Kentucky, with the way inile is here,

642
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: you guys can go and get I don't know what

643
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: the number is, maybe it's twelve, maybe it's twenty, whatever,

644
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: you can get a core group that you can be

645
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: competitive INILE wise.

646
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: With most, if not all, the teams in the country.

647
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: Yes, the difference between us and them is maybe they

648
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: can get two levels of those guys.

649
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: Am I wrong about well?

650
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: I think the big misconception that people really need to

651
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 3: they need to focus back on this. Everybody at NIL.

652
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: So you still have to be a good recruiter to

653
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: get them guys, because you know what you can offer

654
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: me this, but then the school of are can offer

655
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: you that. So you have to still have relationships and

656
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: build that part, but I feel what you're saying, what

657
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 3: you're saying is uh, what you're saying is you're right.

658
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: But I feel the way we still recruit and develop

659
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: and we only need if people take twenty of them.

660
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: We need to just go get guys that fill in

661
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: the spots because we do a good job recruiting at

662
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: a high school developing them.

663
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: Guys Baylor while getting a one with three seconds to

664
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: go to elate that, and now they're they're shooting a

665
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: free throw to take the lead. I mean they were

666
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: getting destroyed earlier. They got a free throw to take

667
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: the lead right now, Rick, go ahead?

668
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: Rick.

669
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I just been watching the team frustrating like

670
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: everybody else. But I think the real poor problem is

671
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: pretty simple, and it comes down to we're playing We're

672
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: playing the wrong guys the wrong minute. We're not gonna

673
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: get in the seven footers. Han't made us better defensively

674
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 5: or made us a better rebounding team, so and they

675
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 5: certainly aren't helping us score. We're gonna win by.

676
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: Scoring eighty five points in the ninety points a game.

677
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 5: We need to play these guys or get us there.

678
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: Wow, Well, I hate to do it. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

679
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't mean to interrupt you. I appreciate the call.

680
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Did you see that? So Baylor dude misses his free throw?

681
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Come Houston comes down, they take a three.

682
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Did he get it off? I don't think he did.

683
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: I don't think he got it off. Oh my goodness.

684
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: I thought in real time it was.

685
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: It was good.

686
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: I don't think he got it off. He hit a

687
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: three at the buzzer to win the game, but I

688
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: do not think he got it off.

689
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: Getting ready for March, Maddness is coming. Wow.

690
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: That was amazing, wasn't it? And then I think he

691
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: missed it so they'll go to overtime. You like March?

692
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're a football guy, but you

693
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: got to love but it's just nothing like March.

739
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty eight, the Michigan team who lost like

740
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,800

Speaker 1: For you, you averaged seven points a game.

745
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: And I had a coach that was kind of like,

746
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: he's kind of mad at me his the beginning the season.

747
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 3: Then I actually, our first game we won, I scored

748

775

776
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: I really do they have the talent? Yes, they certainly

777

Speaker 3: have the talent. Regular season Rick about Rick Bards. That's

778
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: quite a quote.

779
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: You would if you're a coach, you wouldn't have one

780
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: to have that time, it would you. No, let me

Speaker 3: I like they got that good orange, but that Tennis.

787
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 3: I'm really starting to feel like that about them, like Louisville.

788
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta you like Jeff. If there was

789

Speaker 2: you soft well although you did, you did talk.

792
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: You were pretty happy when we beat them this year.

793
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: Listen, man, look it's Jeff is a really good friend.

794
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 3: Uh uh, I just I don't like Tennessee. I'm being.

795
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,239

797
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: You can sit sad.

798
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,640

Speaker 3: Louisville hate us because we've been beating them.

803
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: Uh, you can't. You don't hate a team unless they're good.

804
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: That's the reality of it, because if if if you,

805
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: nobody hates teams that they nobody hates in basketball, nobody

806
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:58,880

00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: So today? So let's see. That's a good question, Dane.

812
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Let's see, if you were going

813
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: to create the starting lineup for tonight's game, Uh, what

814
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: would it be? I would say, I would go.

815
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: Dillingham.

816
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: Uh, Dillingham reeves Shepherd Thierro, Mitchell's not allowed to play,

817
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: or Mitchell's out. So I would say, then, Ugo, what

818
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: would you do?

819
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 3: I would go read? No, yeah, I would go read.

820
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 3: I'm would keep dealing Ham coming off the bench.

821
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: You like dealing him off the bench.

822
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: I like him. I think he's he gives us a spark,

823
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: and I think he's comfortable with that. I would go

824
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: with an Uh, Antonio, dear what's the African kid. I

825
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 3: think he's the most underrated guy on this team. Yeah,

826
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: I really do. I like his I like his skill set.

827
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: He's powerful, he can shoot, he can play defense. I mean,

828
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: I really like him. And then I go with the

829
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 3: center with Hugo or bradshawd Ugo, the dude who do

830
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 3: all the blocks.

Speaker 1: Pre Games Bring Back.

843
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Select Chevy Dealers KSR pregame show. It

844
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: is cats and tied here about I don't know. Hour

845
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 2: and twenty minutes away. Baylor is on the ropes again

846
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: with Houston. Houston's tough team. Man, I would not want

847
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: to see them in March, so they're they're one of

848
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 2: my You know I always pick events. I usually pick

849
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: five teams, and I guarantee the title will come from

850
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: one of those five teams. It's only not happened once,

851
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: and that was the twenty fourteen Yukon teams.

852
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Who's five, Well, I don't Three of.

853
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: Them are gonna be Connecticut, Houston, and uh Purdue, even

854
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: though I don't really like Purdue. They're just too that

855
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: big dude's tough. I'm probably gonna have North Carolina's the fourth,

856
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: and I'm holding out on picking the fifth for a

857
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: little while. Who is there anybody you would add, Yes, Kentucky.

858
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: I want to put them there, but I gotta see

859
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: us how we finished before March. I want to I

860
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: want to put them there because I think they have

861
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: the talent.

862
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: But I'm just going off straight just looking at talent.

863
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: They got scores from one to five, actually got scores

864
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 3: from one to eighth, and I just think once you

865
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: get in the tournament and you get hot, that's that

866
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 3: that can be hard to stop.

867
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: I totally agree.

868
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: Here's the way I look at if they beat if

869
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: they beat Alabama today, Mississippi State on the road Tennessee,

870
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: I want to see what they do in the SEC

871
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: tournament and if we're getting hot, I feel because you know,

872
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: if you think about those teams. So I did like

873
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: a little research after seeing somebody else's research. Last thirty

874
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 2: five NCAA tournaments, twenty nine of the thirty five teams

875
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: who won were a one or two seed. At least

876
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: six tournaments where they weren't a one or two seat.

877
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: Three of those six were three seats, all right. The

878
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: only three teams to win the tournament that were not one,

879
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: two or three teams were Yukon every time. Now, what

880
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 2: was the common denominator for Yukon those times they got

881
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 2: really hot.

882
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: At the end of the year.

883
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 2: Yes, that one year with Kimba Walker, that one year

884
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 2: with Shabbaz Napier, and then last year they got really hot.

885
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: I need to see us get really hot if we're

886
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 2: going to be a team that's not a one, two

887
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: or three and win, does.

888
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: That make sense? And you always leave that fifth spot

889
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: for me for some group of five team.

890
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: But they never win.

891
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: The group of five teams never win the title. Though

892
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: this might be the year, buddy, Well, I'm gonta think

893
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: who it would be this year though, I mean, like,

894
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 2: because Houston's now in the Big twelve. Gonzaga is not

895
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: very good this year. Uh maybe that's just San Diego

896
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: State's DC.

897
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 3: But Gozaga. Look, I'm telling you, but we're the only

898
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: good team they've beaten all year. They have team that

899
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: can get hot too. Well.

900
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: The well, first, they got to get in. It's not

901
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: certain they're in yet. They're although they're kind of on

902
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: the bubble.

903
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: Who's next, Jeff, Jeff? What's up? Jeff?

904
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: All right?

905
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: What's going on guys side?

906
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 6: I don't want to go ahead and say shout out

907
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 6: to Roder Peerson that's my nephew. But I got married

908
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 6: or I got engaged in twenty twenty one at the

909
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 6: Florida Gators game on August the second, when Walker Ploffe

910
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 6: was there with my wife.

911
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: And that's second, Tonne to you got gaged after you

912
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: got engaged at the Kentucky Florida football.

913
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Game, Yes, when Walker Plucker was there.

914
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: Short did.

915
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: If you got hey, go a second.

916
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: If you got engaged at the Kentucky Florida game or

917
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 2: at the Kentucky game where Walker Plucker was there, that

918
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: wasn't October. So make sure you get the date right

919
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: because you're gonna need to remember that with your wife.

920
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't.

921
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 3: Started. That's a good point. You better remember that, but.

922
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: Right started the second I remember that.

923
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 6: Anyways, I always got season tickets now but any count

924
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 6: got a question for Vince Morrow. So, with having a

925
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 6: twenty five top class this year and having the five

926
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 6: star quarterback in h Vandergraff from Georgia, do you feel

927
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 6: that we're going to make the twelve into the playoffs

928
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 6: this year?

929
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: Buddy? I would really hope. So, I mean, I think

930
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: we have a good chance if we can schedule. I

931
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: look at it like this. We won ten games, like

932
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: I said, twice in five years or six years. If

933
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 3: we would have had a twelve game, twelve team playoff,

934
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,479
Speaker 3: we would have been in the playoffs. Uh, it's gonna

935
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 3: take hard work. But I like the continuity of our staff.

936
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: I like the players that we assemble in free agency,

937
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 3: which I call free agency. And I like the guys

938
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: we drafted and out of high school, which I called

939
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: a high school draft. So I think it's a good

940
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 3: combination of how good What about mand of Griff? Talk

941
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 3: about him? We haven't.

942
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: We haven't got to talk to you about him.

943
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: With you, I think Vander Griff it could have went

944
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: either way with him and the guy who became to

945
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: start at Georgia when Kirby was like could have went

946
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: either way. That either guy could have won the job.

947
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 3: And I think when he thought he thought old boy

948
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: probably would go pro this year, and when he ended

949
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 3: up staying, I think he said, Man, I gotta go

950
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 3: somewhere and find it good. You'd be amazed when people

951
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: look at us and they say, man, Kentucky is right there.

952
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 3: If I can go there with that talent and just

953
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 3: get him over to hump. Who knows what I think Vander.

954
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: I think he's a he's a coach's son. He's a

955
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: tough kid, he's he can run. He's very athletic too,

956
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to see what he can do

957
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 3: for us.

958
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: Hey, if I'm not two eight oh twenty to eighty seven,

959
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: who's up next? Jake, Jake, Go ahead, Jake, Jake, go ahead?

960
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: Hello, Yes, go ahead?

961
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: Hey, I just had two things, real quick, coach, if

962
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: you could have one basketball player off this team to

963
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: come play for your football team, who would it be? Who?

964
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: I like that question?

965
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 5: And what do you guys think about the five and

966
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 5: a half points one.

967
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: Hundred and seventy five and a half is one of

968
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 2: the highest plus minuses I've ever seen. I won't ask

969
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: Vince to answer a game wing question, but what about

970
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: a question of which basketball player could you see play

971
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: on this team playing football?

972
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: Already said it. If two guys Dilleham or what's his name,

973
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: I can't say his name, the number three.

974
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: Three Thierra the fastball, what position Eagle play, he would

975
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: be a big TV Okay, he would be what.

976
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 3: They do play linebacker, tight end And he's explosive. He

977
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: he's an NFL guy. He's if he switched over and

978
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 3: played football. I'm telling he's very explosive that that guy

979
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: would make a lot of.

980
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: Former tight end here. This has nothing to do with

981
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: the game, but you know, because he's Dayton Taylor Swift.

982
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: Everybody talks about Travis Kelsey, who's the best tight end

983
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 2: of all time?

984
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, man, Kevin Winslow.

985
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: Everybody, all the old school guys say killing.

986
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: Winslow or gron Gronk. I'm gonna say.

987
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: Kelsey said he thought the Mount Rushmore was Winslow, Gonzales,

988
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: Gronk and him.

989
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 3: You like that, fo, Yeah, I do. I think that's

990
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 3: Gonzaled Tony go to Gonzales. Yeah he was good. I

991
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: think Gronk was the all around all around best he

992
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 3: I mean Gronk was a monster.

993
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Cats in Alabama, Kentucky needs this one.

994
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: Eighteen and eight Alabama wins this, they're probably winning the

995
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: SEC maybe even outright big game in Rupperena. Here's what

996
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: we do, Vince. Every game, we pick the winner, what's

997
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: the score and your MVP. Since you are my guest today,

998
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: I will let you go first. Give me your score

999
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: and your MVP.

1000
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 3: Score is going to be eighty four seventy six Cats,

1001
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: I like it.

1002
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: And who's your MVP.

1003
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 3: My MVP is going to be I think it's gonna

1004
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: be Red Reach Chep Shepherd, all right, I like Shepard.

1005
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be Re Shepherd.

1006
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: In games this year where Kentucky has played teams like this,

1007
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: that's when they've played the best.

1008
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: This is when they've looked their best.

1009
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: When they played these teams that like to get up

1010
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 2: and down the floor like they do, that's where they

1011
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: played well, you know, against you and c.

1012
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of how Auburn likes to play.

1013
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: Although he didn't play Auburn didn't score much against US,

1014
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: so I like this match up for Kentucky. I'm gonna

1015
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: say the Cats win eighty seven eighty uh and I'm

1016
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: going to say in the matchup that will hopefully make

1017
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 2: people consider him SEC Player of the year. I'm gonna

1018
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: take Antonio Reeves to get you know, he is a

1019
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: road dog. He plays good on the road. I think

1020
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a home game like he tends to

1021
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 2: get on the road to this today.

1022
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 3: I love that. We gotta be loud though. I'm gonna

1023
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 3: tell you the reason why Kentucky has a lot of

1024
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 3: mishaps on defense because the crowd is loud. They can't

1025
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 3: hear the shifts and saying hey switch. Our crowd has

1026
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: to be loud, so Alabama cannot hear the communication on defense.

1027
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: This thank you very much for doing it. Did you

1028
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: join always?

1029
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,000

Speaker 1: Good.

Speaker 2: I appreciate it. We will come out if after the game.

1032
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,600

00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: come to the postgame show here. I'm still deciding. But

1036
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: either way, hopefully we're celebrating.

1037
