1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: On Thanksgiving Eve, the Kentucky Wildcats win by fifty one

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: to oh four fifty four against Tennessee Tech and a

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: game that started not well but ended up actually being

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: one of the better offensive performances Kentucky has had. You

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: can give a shout eight five to nine two eight

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: oh twenty two eighty seven. Kentucky scored eighty points in

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: in what thirty one minutes or actually twenty eight minutes.

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: After a not so great start to the game, they

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: got extremely hot in the second half, went fifteen to

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: thirty from three, and you saw a lot of guys

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: play well. Trenton Noah four or five from three, Denzel

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Aberdeen was four of six from three. Five players scored

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: at least thirteen points. You had a number of guys

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: finished with fifteen or sixteen. It was a feel good

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: game after a poor start. I mean the game was

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: tied at twenty five. I think Kentucky was actually down

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty one at one point, and it looked

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: like a sort of uninspiring, kind of ugly beginning. But

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: then things took off after that and there was a

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun, including the Walker Horn three, which I

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna make the argument Billy could be the

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: turning point in.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 3: The season, right turning point of the season.

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I'm exaggerating, but I will say in

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: that moment, when you saw the team celebrating on the bench,

28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: and you saw all the excitement and you saw all

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: of the sort of happiness and togetherness, that's something we've

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: kind of been waiting for. I mean, with all the

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: rumors about the chemistry, etc. You know, that was a

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: really great mom I mean, be honest with you, it's

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the best moment of the season so far.

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: There's some truth in that.

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's any argument that it's the

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: best moment of the season. And I'm exaggerating when I

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: say that it is the turning point, but it is.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: I think a h it was a good sign of

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: the kind of thing we've wanted to see from this group. Uh.

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go over a couple of things here.

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Just about the actual basketball game. I thought everybody on

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: the team had really good moments except maybe Brandon Garrison

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: wasn't He's still very frustrating to me. He had a

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: play where he air balled a lay up. Uh. He

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: then he got his hit. Should have been a walk.

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: They didn't call it. He got it back, He got

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: it back, he came down the floor, gave up a dunk.

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: He's just for I still I think he's been not good.

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: I thought Oway was not very good at the beginning.

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Kind of he had his moments a little bit later.

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: But besides that, I mean, I liked what I saw

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: from these other guys. Uh. Denzel Aberdeen obviously made shots.

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I still think he's better at the two, but he's

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to play point guard. So it is what

55
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: it is. Colin Chandler kind of carried the team a

56
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: little bit at the beginning, you know, when they were struggling. Obviously,

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Noah made his shots. I thought they're some good Yellovick moments.

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: And then moreno had sixteen points. So I think you

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: gotta feel good about a team that honestly three probably

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: three other four or five best players are out and

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: they were able to still get a fifty point win. Now,

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: the other part of the story of the game is

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: which I was gonna talk about later, but I want

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: to do it now because Drew is in studio because man,

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: I want he's got to go home and work on

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: his turkey brine, right, Drew, don't you have that sitting

67
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: there now?

68
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: I have to do a lot of website work first,

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 4: and I'll get home and see what's left of my

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: turkey that the squirrels left me.

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: I hope your squirrels a meed. But I wanted to

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: have you on because before the game, right after we

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: went off on the pregame show, we found out that

74
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: jd Vance, the vice president, was downtown and there were

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: reports that there was crazy traffic. I actually didn't think

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the traffic was that bad when I drove home, but

77
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: we were at the bar. We were warning people, getting information,

78
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and then it turned out and we thought he was

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: at the game. Turns out he didn't go to the game.

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: He was eating at Tony's. And did I hear did

81
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: you sneak in? You know?

82
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: I just like to be part of the scene, Matt,

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: And uh, you know the road in front of Tony's

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: was completely closed, which was why traffic was so bad.

85
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: Tennessee Tech was late to the game, coming down New Time,

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: Newtown Pike everything.

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: That's how he was coming in, right, Yeah, closed, I

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: heard they closed Newtown Pike for a while.

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: Newtown Pike was closed, Main Street was closed. It was

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: utter chaos on the.

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Lower end, so correct, see, I hate that. I mean,

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not listening. All the presidents and vice presidents do it.

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, I guess they should get

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: to have lives, but like that seems like a huge hassle.

95
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 1: But anyway, go ahead.

96
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: Well they do have a good crab cake, so I

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: can't I can't judge me. He knew what he was doing.

98
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: But always I have that hour and a half between

99
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: pregame and game, and I usually pop in somewhere anywhere

100
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: anyway and eat dinner by myself. When I saw that

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: Tony's was chaos, I knew exactly where I was going.

102
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: What I didn't know is how much security would be there.

103
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: And I didn't even think they would let me in.

104
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: But I thought, you know what, I'll try it. And

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: I had my backpack full of things. They pulled everything out,

106
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 4: ran swabs on my lape, taught my phone, tore my

107
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: backpack apart. I had to take my hat off. But

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: then they let me in. And then when I got in,

109
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: I didn't really know what I was gonna do. I

110
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: was gonna sit at the bar, but it was it

111
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: was full, And then I had some friends invite me

112
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: to sit down, so I sat down and eight with them.

113
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: But I was just, you know, very presidential in there.

114
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: There were security, secret Service everywhere just across the street

115
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: from Reperina. I think a lot of people didn't even

116
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: know that was going on, that were heading to the game.

117
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'd kind of leaked out, like right as

118
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: the pregame show ended. Apparently I was told he was

119
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: going to go to the game, but he didn't give

120
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: notice that he wanted to go until this morning, and

121
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: they didn't feel like they could secure the building uh

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: in time. So yeah, it's been interesting to see if

123
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: he if he did go to the game, what would

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: have happened. I'm also told I think he's like staying

125
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: here all weekend, so for people there there, again, who knows,

126
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: but there are some reports he's like got a house

127
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: for like a Thanksgiving weekend in Lexington. Oh he didn't.

128
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: He didn't mention that to me.

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh did you talk to him?

130
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: Well no, but I just you know, since I was

131
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: already part of his pregame, like.

132
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Those of you that are you know traveling around the

133
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: city there could be traffic, you know, maybe through the

134
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: course of the weekend, so you may have to think that. Well,

135
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm glad you did some on scene reporting.

136
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: I had to. I didn't take any photos. I was

137
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: very intimidated.

138
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: One it's on Facebook of them walking into the back

139
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: of Tony's that was looked to be taken from an

140
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: apartment over Tony's, but they didn't end up going to

141
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: the game. What'd you think of the game? Real quick?

142
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: Well, considering just a few days ago, I wrote a

143
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: website post called Manifesting the walker Horn three pointer, and

144
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: then I mentioned it on the morning show and pregame show.

145
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: I went crazy. And you know, this is my sixteenth

146
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: season covering games. I've never cheered on Press rod like

147
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: I did.

148
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: I still cheered.

149
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: I stood up. I shot the Jamal Murray bow and

150
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: arrow to him from I was in two thirteen. I

151
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: couldn't have been farther from walker Horn and I tried

152
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: to shoot him with the Murray arrow. I was high

153
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: fiving people. That's the most I've ever cheered as a

154
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: member of the work press.

155
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Uh And did you did you you agree that was

156
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: like the moment of the year, right.

157
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: Uh, I do, but I don't want you to forget

158
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: the Colin Chandler dunk.

159
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: I think collectively that was that was that's that was

160
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: a really good You're right, that's really good.

161
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: I've been at every home game so far. The roof

162
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: blew off on both of those moments.

163
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Can I tell you one? Uh the negative thing of

164
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: the night for me? As you know, Uh, my parents

165
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: came into town for Thanksgiving and we were going to

166
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: go to the game. Uh, we were giving some some

167
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: good tickets to the game, and then when we pulled

168
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: in to go to the game, they scanned it and

169
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: they said, this doesn't work. They had accidentally given me

170
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: tickets for the last game. So we didn't get to go,

171
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: or we didn't get to go at all. We didn't go.

172
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: Oh, Larry, this was his.

173
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: This was his game, and they didn't. I think that

174
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: the person who gave them to me was was very

175
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: nice by doing it. But they accidentally gave me tickets

176
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: to the Loyola early game.

177
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: So were the parents. Okay, I know how excited.

178
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Me and I think you know, I mean, we didn't

179
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: have a choice. What are you gonna do? You know,

180
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: because I had to. You know, we tried to find

181
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: them in a certain way so that Larry could get

182
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: in and out. You know, there's you can't just I

183
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: can't just scalp them and uh and so it didn't

184
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: end up happening. But you know, it's the thought that counts.

185
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: That's what they say.

186
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: Right, You got to spend more time together at home.

187
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: You got to hear Tom. You got to hear Tom

188
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Hart make fun of Sha and the dude for the

189
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: green beans. That was nice. Uh so, so that part

190
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: was was, but it is. It's a little embarrassing, Drew

191
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: when they got Joe's no that they could just not

192

Speaker 1: work here.

193
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: But it happens, especially if you it was such a

194
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 4: big night. They're at the bar, they're so excited. I'm

Speaker 4: sorry for them.

203
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: of the game? It was cool the unforgettables together in

204
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: rupp Arena, for the first time, which is amazing to

205
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: me that they have not been together in RUP at

206
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the same time since nineteen ninety two. That's uh, that's wild.

207
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360

00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna find out what this team is. I don't know

211
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: what they are. I'm not uber confident, but I guess

212
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm more confident than I would have been if the

213
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: game had ended about with about eight minutes left in

214
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,199

Speaker 3: Wow, I just saw Auburn beat Saint John's.

219
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: Auburn beat Saint John's. So some of these games you

220
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: know the teams were playing, have lost. But Tennessee lost

221
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: to Kansas, Auburn beat Saint John's, and now Gonzaga losing

222
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: to Michigan. Not doing a lot for our strength to schedule.

223
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie to you all these games. Uh, sec

224
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: is just been atrocious in the non conference Auburn gotta

225
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: win today, but otherwise just atrocious so far in non

226
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: conference play. A feb Nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven.

227
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: We will take a break and be right back. It's

228
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the Local toilet Dealers KSR postgame show. Welcome back. It

229
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: is the Local toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. A Feb nine,

230
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: two eight zero, twenty two eighty seven. Gonzaga losing to

231
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: Michigan by sixteen. Michigan must be really really good. You

232
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: know that there's some The three teams that supposedly spent

233
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: the most money on their rosters are Michigan, Saint John's

234
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: and Kentucky. We obviously know where we are. Saint John's

235
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: now zero to three versus quad one. Kind of a

236
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: disappointing start to the season, uh for Rick's group. But

237
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Michigan looks like money well spent. We could have used

238
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: this axle kid Billy. He would have been nice.

239
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's real good, He's really good.

240
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: Like we We definitely that's one we definitely could have

241
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: used it.

242
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 5: You think, sorry, do you think Kentucky's gonna see some

243
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 5: zone now that Tennessee Tech played that in the first

244
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: roe Ah?

245
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: No, because I think we I mean, yeah, if we

246
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: just throw bricks, but that we were able to penetrate

247
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: the zoning once we got down low. They couldn't do

248
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: much about it, but we might. Honestly, though, you know,

249
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought maybe the most telling part of the game

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: was Dame Bradshaw said that John Pelfrey had told them

251
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: before the game, if Kentucky shoots forty threes, were happy

252
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: with that. We shot thirty and made half. But that

253
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: tells me that coaches in general are they don't think

254
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: this team can shoot. And you know, I'm a big

255
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: believer of what I know of Mark Pope. A Mark

256
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Pope team's got to be able to shoot, because Mark's

257
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: not known for his defense. Mark's teams are not necessarily,

258
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: at at least at this point, known for their toughness.

259
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: They got to be able to shoot. And we have

260
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: not shot well this year. We didn't start shooting well tonight,

261
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: although we you know, fifteen to thirty you'll take every day.

262
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: So but that's interesting. That means the scouting report is,

263
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: let this Kentucky team shoot, and we're gonna have to

264
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: play our way to where that's not the you know,

265
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: the game plan. But if you just look at the

266
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Louisville Michigan State game. You would say, let Kentucky.

267
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: Shoot yeap, who's up first, Dustin, Dustin, go ahead, Dustin.

268
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, can you explain better like you talk about

269
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: Mitch Barnhardt transitioning to his new rule? Is that January

270
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 6: of next year or July or.

271
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, I mean this is this isn't official yet. This

272
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: is just what I'm hearing. Yeah, I understand that is

273
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: that when I've said at the end of the year,

274
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: I mean the end of the school year. So I

275
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: think this will be his last school year, which of

276
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: course ends in May. Now when would they announce that,

277
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, the he's he has to give six months notice,

278
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I guess is what that contract says to the assistant thing.

279
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: So that's why we had talked about, well, maybe he

280
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: does it at January first, because the the eight hundred

281
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year as a special assistant starts if

282
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: he's done after July first. Does that make sense? Okay,

283
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: So he could announce it at January first, But I'm

284
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: under the assumption this will be his last school year,

285
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: which would go through the end of May.

286
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 6: Okay, I understand, and I know one time you mentioned

287
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 6: a person's name. I know this is all speculative of

288
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 6: the moody else that would be taking over. Did you

289
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 6: have any opinions or concerns about him or well?

290
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 7: He is he first Wood?

291
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 6: I guess you would say.

292
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I mean, okay, So so I mentioned

293
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: the name Mark. Let me just say, I mean I

294
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: like Mark Hill a lot. I mean I've I've spent

295
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of time. I mean, we've dealt with Mark

296
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Hill for fifteen years. I like Mark. I think I don't.

297
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be fair to say he's

298
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: exactly like Mitch. I think he's more open to a

299
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: lot of the things that are in modern athletics now

300
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: than Mitch is. Okay, so I don't. I do think

301
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: he is more modern? Is it fresh blood? I would

302
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: not say that, no, because I mean he he was

303
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: trained under Mitch, so some of the things that frustrate

304
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: me about Mitch Barnhardt. I do think Mark Hill would

305
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: be an improvement. Do I think though they should just

306
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: give him that job without doing a national search. I

307
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know that I would say that. I think you

308
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: have to at least go all the way around and

309
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: maybe you end up back with him, but like I don't.

310
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't really like people hand picking their successors, and

311
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: we've talked about that before. Yeah, I appreciate the appreciate

312
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: the call. Oh, I'm sorry, did you have up on him? Yeah,

313
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: he's gone. I'm sorry. I didn't know you had other things, sir,

314
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: My bad. Uh, Michigan now twenty who's next, Joe, Joe?

315
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Joe.

316
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 8: Hey man, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, Michigan's looking

317
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 8: insane right now. Yeah, but I'm yeah hoping we can get.

318
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: And we don't play at least we don't play them.

319
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: Right Yeah.

320
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll see what happens with Geza. They looked unstoppable

321
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 8: at Obama. But I really like Yellovich tonight. I think

322
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 8: it was his best game. He only scored five, but

323
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 8: ten rebounds in fifteen minutes. I really like him. And uh,

324
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 8: if we're going to play big him and Malachi a

325
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 8: lot and trim the minutes for BG as time goes on, hopefully.

326
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: He'll get better.

327
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 8: But that seems to be where we're going.

328
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: I liked Yellowvich's minutes, especially in the second half. Now,

329
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: granted the game was kind of a route at that point.

330
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I'd like to see more.

331
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the minutes right now. Yeovich

332
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: played fifteen, Garrison played seventeen. I mean Garrison's minutes have

333
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: gone down a lot. I want to say, like the

334
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: first or second game of the year, I think he

335
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: might have led the team in minutes, and now he

336
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: had fewer minutes than Trent Noah and Jasper Johnson. So

337
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: I think if that doesn't send a message to him,

338
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going.

339
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 8: To Yep, we'll see how he responds. I also thought

340
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 8: we pressed. I feel I thought a little bit and

341
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 8: I liked it when we did. I don't know how

342
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 8: common that'll be again.

343
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we need to have more players to

344
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: do that. I mean, you know, I think we Maybe

345
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: that's something you do a little bit when you the

346
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: press is not like I think what you want to

347
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: do is you just want to harass full court like

348
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: the old days of pressing and trapping. I just don't

349
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: think that happens much. But picking up guys full court

350
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: and making them work, Yeah, there'll be some teams that

351
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: that can work against. Yep.

352
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 8: Happy, thanksgiving you as well.

353
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: Five nine twenty seven for those of you at home,

354
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: a couple of things. I mean, Gonzaga Michigan is at halftime. Also,

355
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: the Rockets have just and Reid is playing right now

356
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: on ESPN. So if you want to watch Reed Sheppard

357
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: in the NBA, if you don't have lead pass, you

358
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: might not have seen him yet. He's on right now.

359
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: Who's next? Phil? Phil? Go ahead? Phil?

360
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 9: Hey Man?

361
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 7: Happy Thanksgiving?

362
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Uha.

363
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 7: I know you watched first half and you know the

364
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 7: second half just like I did. But gosh, dang, can

365
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 7: Brandon Garrison just do something and his line of basketball.

366
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 9: Or does Pope just.

367
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 7: Needs to look at it even to like, hey man,

368
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 7: you're good, but you're not that good. Let's just sit down,

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 7: play play my cap, play play these other guys and

370
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 7: what the chips fallow? They fall ill?

371
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how manymore? How many more?

372
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's done it like he did he, I mean,

373
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Garrison was now he's not, and he had the second

374
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: fewest minutes of any of the rotation guys tonight. I

375
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: kind of think there's not like if that doesn't get

376
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: the message, I don't know what will the problem for

377
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: me with Brandon Garrison is his effort I mean, you know,

378
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: if he misses a shot, he misses a shot, hero effort.

379
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: It's just the effort is not there.

380
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 7: And with Oway, I don't know, if y'all seen the

381
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 7: first thirty minutes a game, there's very little effort from him. Also,

382
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 7: I'm a testman. I love Kentucky basketball, watch it every day.

383
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 7: I watch all the podcasts, you know, a listener every

384
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 7: I'm very rarely call in Yeah, but the effort from

385
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 7: Oway Garrison, the two guys we thought would give the

386
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 7: effort have the heart. It's not a I mean, it's

387
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 7: about the heart. It's about wanting to play, wanting back.

388
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 7: And what's frustrating.

389
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Is what's frustrating is those are the two guys that return, right,

390
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: the guys that played the most at return. And if

391
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: you were to ask me last year, who were the

392
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: guys that played that game the most effort, you might

393
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: have said those two right, Like, it's it's kind of

394
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: bizarre that And I'm with you on all that. I

395
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. I'm that they were the returneys and

396
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: o Wait was certainly the effort guy. And even Garrison,

397
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: he would do small minutes, but he'd come in be

398
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: all over the place, almost be two all over the place,

399
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: and it just they just don't, for whatever reason, looked

400
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: the same. You know, it's very, very frustrating. I mean,

401
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: I can take a kid like say Who's an example.

402
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: I mean Colin Chandler had a couple of games early

403
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: in the season, even though he scored a bunch, where

404
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: he would make a lot of mistakes and he missed

405
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of shots early tonight. But it's constant effort.

406
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 1: And I feel like Aberdeen gives constant effort. Obviously Diabyte does,

407
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: but especially Garrison, but even sometimes Oway. I like those

408
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: guys their talent is in part their effort. I mean,

409
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: Oway is not preseason All SEC player talent, He's just not.

410
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: But he's really good talent, and then the effort can

411
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: take him to that level. But if he didn't give

412
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: that effort, then he's not gonna be an. He worked

413
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: close to that and he hasn't been so far this year.

414
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: And I think that's hert Kentucky, Who's next? Michael, Michael?

415
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Michael, Happy Thanksgiving, Matt, Happy Thanksgiving to you. Yeah.

416
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 10: I was just I had a question and a thought.

417
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 10: I'll go with the thought first, when I saw somewhere.

418
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 10: I was trying to look it up before you picked, uh,

419
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 10: you know, picked up my call. I saw today somebody

420
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 10: said that Kentucky is without you know, Lowell and Jayden Quince,

421
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 10: that Kentucky is really just filled with America six man,

422
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 10: Like it's stilled with a bunch of six six you know, six.

423
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Man off the That's I mean, I don't think that's crazy.

424
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a little harsh because

425
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: I think Colin Chandler is a starter for most teams,

426
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: and I think, but but it's not. It's not a

427
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: terrible take, I would agree.

428
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, Like I mean, I could definitely see Colin

429
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 10: not fitting into that.

430
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: But like, you know, like even today when when the.

431
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 10: Game started that first you know, gosh, fifteen minutes or so,

432
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 10: I mean you just know, it did not look good.

433
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 10: You could not get no one could get open, no

434
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 10: one could you know, get the ball into the paint.

435
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 10: And so I just thought that was an interesting comment.

436
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 10: And then my question for you is Kentucky has six

437
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 10: games in the month of December for them against twenty

438
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 10: five teams. Three of them of those four are at

439
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 10: rupp Arena. Based on I saw today two of.

440
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: The four Indiana and North Carolina rup Okay, Gonzagas in

441
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Nashville it's counted as a home game, and then Saint

442
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: John's at.

443
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 7: Okay.

444
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 10: So I think I saw your thing that said, you know,

445
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 10: you put the panic level out an eight if you

446
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 10: know Low's not back based on what you saw up

447
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 10: till today, what would be your prediction of those six games,

448
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 10: what record they have.

449
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: It's Low playing or not, I'm gonna say no, Okay,

450
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: So let's say Low's not playing, then I would consider

451
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: two and two a success if he's not playing, and uh,

452
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: if he is, I mean like a real success, okay,

453
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: because if you look at the SEC schedule, we start

454
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: at Alabama and then we have like four or five

455
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: really winnable games in a row, right, so you can

456
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: get some wins and get everybody healthy. But you cannot

457
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: take I mean, just to use these four top twenty

458
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: five games and then at Alabama. You can't start the

459
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: season with seven losses, right, Like, I don't.

460
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 11: Care what we have.

461
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, we've got to win some

462
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: of these games. However we win them, I think it's

463
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: going to be very hard. I mean, I think and

464
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: this goes to your first point about the role players

465
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: I have said. You've probably gotten tired of hearing me

466
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: say that Jayalen Lowe is the most important player on

467
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: the team by far. He's even very important than he's

468
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: even more important than I thought he was, because this

469
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: team just does not have guys who can consistently create

470
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: their own offense without a point guard. And we have

471
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: seen this team look really good for these little periods

472
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: of time, and really you're talking about the Louisville game,

473
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen minutes when Lowe was point guard,

474
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: we looked really good. And other than that, against good teams,

475
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: we have not looked good. And I worry, and I

476
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: worry that's how it's gonna be the whole year unless

477
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: something changes. So I appreciate the call. It's nothing against

478
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: these guys, it's nothing against them, but I just don't know.

479
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: If you don't have low acquaintance, I just don't know

480
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: how good they are. And then you throw in that

481
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: against Michigan State the effort was poor, Well then you're

482
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: asking to get crushed if you do that. I think

483
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: the effort will be there a lot of the year,

484
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: but I just don't know how good they are if

485
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: they don't have low acquaintance in it. But if you

486
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: have low acquaintance, then I think you can still be

487
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: really good. But we've literally only seen we haven't seen

488
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: it with a quaintance at all, and we've only seen

489
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: it with love. Oh like ten or fifteen minutes of

490
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: the Louisville game. So who's next, Tommy, Tommy, go ahead,

491
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: Tommy eight, five, nine, twenty two eighty seven. By the way,

492
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: since I told everybody to tune in watch Reedy miss

493
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: five straight shots? Go ahead, Tommy.

494
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 11: Man.

495
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 12: Yeah, So you think you're taking on his thirteen games

496
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 12: this year?

497
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 11: Uh?

498
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Is Jalen Lowe playing? If if Jalen Lowe's not playing,

499
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I still I don't think they'll lose

500
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: thirteen because I don't think the SEC is very good

501
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: this year. But if Jaalen Lowe's not playing, I'm I'm

502
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: worried about the team.

503
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 12: I think they're gonna get blowed down on the thirteen.

504
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 10: Uh.

505
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the truth. Hang up on the truth. I

506
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: knew that was the truth. That was the truth. Yeah.

507
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: Is he still? Oh no, he's not. I hung up.

508
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: I guess that he was trying to be he was

509
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: trying to be low key, but the fact that he

510
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: picked the thirteenth and it was Indiana and then I

511
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: heard that, Yeah, that was that was the truth, Priz.

512
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: He didn't ask for tickets.

513
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. When we play North Carolina in Indiana,

514
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: both those games are at home. If you're a good team,

515
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: you gotta win those games. It's one thing to lose

516
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: on a on the road to Louisville. It's another thing

517
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: to lose on a neutral court. You can't lose home.

518
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: We gotta beat North Carolina Tuesday, and we gotta beat

519
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Indiana on the thirteenth, and then what would be a

520
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: real success is if we won those two and then

521
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: split south of Saint John's and Kotzaga. Then I'd be

522
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: like over the moon. But I'll be honest with you, Billy,

523
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: we could lose them all. We're not careful. Yeah we play.

524
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: If we play like we did against Michigan State, we'll

525
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: lose all of them. Now, I don't think we'll play

526
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: like that. I think we'll win a couple of them,

527
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: but it's not a given. Who's next?

528
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: Hunter, Hunter, Go ahead, Hunter, Hey Matt, how are you

529
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: doing tonight.

530
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: Good. What's up?

531
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: Hey?

532
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 13: I want to give a big shout out to Cam Williams.

533
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 13: I think he's improved a lot beginning in the season.

534
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: He has You're right, I'm glad you mentioned him.

535
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, ah, yeah, he's been a lot better. And once

536
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 13: he starts hitting the shots, I think he's going to be.

537
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: Big for us. We definitely got a short in the

538
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: frontal court rotation as well.

539
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 13: I think DG doesn't really need to be getting minutes.

540
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 13: But I will say I had one thought after the

541
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 13: game when Pope and the Unforgettables were doing the interview,

542
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 13: he asked the question to them, something to the effect of, like, hey,

543
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 13: what was the moment where you guys were at your

544
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 13: lowest and you guys pulled through? I wonder if that

545
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 13: was something that was kind of on his mind when

546
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 13: he asked that question, you know, just from where he

547
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 13: is right now.

548
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe. I mean, I've really had a hard time

549
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: reading Pope these last few weeks. I mean I felt like,

550
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: prior to the Louisville game, he's very different than I am.

551
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: He's probably that means very different. I mean everybody's different,

552
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: but he's like very different than I But I feel

553
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: like I had a pretty good read on him and

554
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: kind of the way he reacted to things in the way,

555
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: and in the last two or three weeks, I've I'll admit,

556
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: I haven't really understood a lot of his not just

557
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: after the Louisville game in Michigan, but just in general.

558
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: I listened to his press conferences and I'm I have

559
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: a hard time kind of following what he's doing. So

560
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: I wondered the same thing. I mean, I thought, I

561
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: thought it was cool that they brought those guys out.

562
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: I enjoyed listening to them, but it was also I

563
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: agree with you, he sort of was talking a lot

564
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: about the adversity of those times, and part of me

565
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: did wonder, like, is this something where he's trying to

566
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: send a message to our players? And I don't know

567
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: the answer to that. I mean, Pope has been very

568
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: honest this year that he doesn't think he's gotten through

569
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: to these guys, and you know, hopefully that starts to happen.

570
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, I appreciate the call. I mean, I

571
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I what has been sort of hard for me to

572
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: understand is I just feel like these last three weeks

573
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: have just been really difficult to comprehend. I mean, I'll

574
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: give you a stat, Billy, that's kind of interesting. Okay.

575
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: I can't think of too many times early in the

576
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: season where we've looked worse than we looked, like first

577
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: half of Louisville and the whole Michigan State game. Would

578
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: you agree with that? Yeah, now we played pretty we

579
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: played decent in the second half, but first half of

580
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Louisville in a Michigan State game. I cannot think of

581
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: too many times where we've had the first two good

582
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: games look like that. With that said, I saw a

583
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: stat today. This is the first time in UK history

584
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: that in the first seven games of the year, Kentucky's

585
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: won four games by over forty points. So, on the

586
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: one hand, we've looked really bad, really bad against the

587
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: two good teams we played, and on the other hand,

588
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: we're beating the bad teams we play by obscene amounts,

589
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: like historic amounts. Yeah, part of it is that the

590
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: bad teams were No, it doesn't mean either, but the

591
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: bad teams were playing are really bad. But we play

592
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: bad teams every year. It's just interesting to me that

593
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: this team can win by fifty regularly against bad teams

594
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: and then lose. Like Michigan State's good, but they're not

595
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: seventy points better than Tennis and Tennessee Tech, right, right,

596
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Yet there was a seventy point differential in those two games.

597
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 5: Well, if they didn't have the BBN United tip Off

598
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 5: presented by Kentucky Tourism and they went to Maui instead,

599
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: then it could be even a worse record.

600
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Well, the teams of Maui are bad, but if we've

601
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: played in the players that Player's era, we might haven't. Yeah,

602
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: but then again, you take a team like Kansas who

603
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: has looked bad and then they go to the Players

604
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Era and went go three and ozero and win. So

605
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: maybe we're gonna have a moment like that. Maybe North

606
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: Carolina is that moment for us. We'll see two eighty seven.

607
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: We will take a break pre Thanksgiving. Local Toy Dealer's

608
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: KSR post game Show. We'll be right back. Welcome back.

609
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR post game show.

610
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: One person writes Tim Matt. I'm watching the Players Era Tournament.

611
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't play in it because I don't

612
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: think we'd have done very well. But I've really enjoyed it.

613
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: T and T is doing a good job with college basketball.

614
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, we're not gonna have any games

615
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: on ten T. I guess they're doing Big East in

616
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Big twelve games. But I think they're actually really good.

617
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: I think they've got a great I mean for a

618
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: network that last year was their first games and they

619
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: only had like Big twelve games last year. I mean

620
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: they've got you look at who they've got doing it

621
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: with our friend Adam Lefko. But like the color announcers

622
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: are Bruce Pearl, Jamal Mashburn, Chris Weber, Jalen Rose, Grant Hill.

623
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good group.

624
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: Billy, you know, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

625
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean that's a pretty good group of people calling games.

626
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: And then Robbie Hummel might be the best color announcer

627
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: going right now, and he's on there too.

628
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 3: I wonder how Bruce was tonight. Was he on the

629
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: call for.

630
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully called down just a little bit. But I mean

631
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: they've got, like I heard Danny Hurley say tonight, Danny

632
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: Hurley did an interview and he said something to the

633
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: effect of they're covering college basketball how we need it

634
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: to be covered. They do pregame shows, they do postgame shows,

635
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: they do interviews. I agree with that. I mean, it's

636
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: nice that our games are on ESPN, and I'm an

637
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: ESPN employee, but ESPN, like NFL, is always going to

638
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: dominate everything, and so college basketball doesn't get a lot

639
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: of like people just like when their games aren't on,

640
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: they're not talking about it, whereas with TNT, now this

641
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: is like the only sport they have, so they're treating

642
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: it like an event, and I actually think it's it's

643
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: it's good for the sport. I kind of wish a

644
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: couple of our games were We're on there too. One

645
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: person writes, Matt Wire, when are you gonna stop acting

646
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: like Jayalen Lowe is Michael Jordan. He's a good player,

647
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: but you keep pounding him as being the answer, and

648
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: we all all while knowing we will not get him

649
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: back this season at one hundred percent. I disagree with that.

650
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: First of all, he's not Michael Jordan. I agree with that,

651
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: But if he comes back, I think he will be

652
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent unless he gets hurt again. I mean,

653
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: from what I understand about that injury, because this is

654
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: not like Lama Butler. Like Lama Butler had some structural

655
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: damage that was apparently worse than Low's. I mean, did

656
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,239
Speaker 1: you see Billy when he was celebrating the walker horn thing.

657
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: His arms were replailing everywhere.

658
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: I didn't, But that's a good sign, right.

659
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be okay unless he gets hurt again.

660
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: And then I think when he gets hurt again, I

661
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: think the idea is then that he probably wouldn't play anymore.

662
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna be like a please don't get hurt.

663
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: But I think when he plays, he'll be very effective.

664
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: And I you cannot show me a time that a

665
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: college team has been good without a point guard. College

666
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: is a guard's game. The NBA's guards game now too,

667
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: but college is really a guards game. And show me

668
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: a college team that does not have a good point guard.

669
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: And Denzel Aberdeen is is pretty good, but I don't

670
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: think he's like a real point guard. I think he'd

671
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: rather be a two. So I think Pope's gonna regret

672
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: we don't have a Pope's gonna regret he didn't bring

673
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: in a backup point guard. I think I guess he

674
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: thought Aberdeen could do that. And you know, he's fine,

675
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: but we need we needed a more athletic Travis Perry

676
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: on this team this year, and we didn't get it.

677
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 3: And that's what happened last year, right, well, last year

678
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: he brought in Kirk Crisa.

679
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: He's got hurt.

680
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: You know, they both got hurt, and then Butler got hurt.

681
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean they both got hurt. So he's

682
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: had a lot of bad luck with getting hurt. But

683
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: we didn't even really bring it back up in this

684
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: year and that was probably a mistake in hindsight. Who's next, Dwayne?

685
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Dwayne?

686
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 14: Hey, Mart, what's up after a fifty point? When after

687
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 14: a fifty point win tonight? I was I was the

688
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 14: one to ask you a question. Pat Rally played at

689
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 14: Kentucky and nobody ever says anything about him. Is there

690
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 14: is there some kind of animosity between pat Rally and Kentucky.

691
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's animosity that I've ever heard. It

692
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: is always been weird to me. I agree with you

693
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: that we don't make a bigger deal about the fact

694
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: that he plays there. Now. I have heard, like he

695
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: was on that RUP's Runs team right that lost to

696
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: Texas Western, And I've always heard that he you know,

697
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: has had like you know that there was always some

698
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: kind of thing of being part of this historical event

699
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: but sort of being on the bad guy side of it.

700
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, that is something that Pat's like always kind

701
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: of not wanted to make a big deal out of.

702
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: But I mean, he was here a couple times during

703
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: the cal Era as a scout, and he would be

704
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: at the game. But but I don't disagree with you.

705
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: It is odd to me. I mean, he's one of

706
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: the more famous people to ever play here and we

707
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: don't talk about it a lot, and it's not played

708
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: up a lot.

709
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: It is.

710
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: It's it is sort of strange. I agree.

711
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I just thought the like, do you

712
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 14: wuys hear more about it, because like I mean, he's

713
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 14: like a big I mean, like a big time name, and.

714
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: Like no, I mean I think if you're talking about it,

715
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: if you're talking about guys who played here and their

716
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: impact on professional basketball, like real impact, I mean, you

717
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: could make an argument he's had more impact than anyone

718
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: that ever played here on the NBA, you know what

719
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean you could certainly make that argument.

720
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it probably is him. I don't even

721
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: know who else it would be. I mean, I guess

722
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: the other two would be like Anthony Davis and maybe

723
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: one day to be Shay Gilges Alexander, but like it's

724
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: him probably, and you're right, we don't really talk about it.

725
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I mean there's a lot of people on

726
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 14: our fan base that don't even know that he played here,

727
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 14: because I did until just a couple of years ago.

728
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 15: When I was like looking at him, like, oh, well

729
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 15: yeah he played here, Like oh that's oh, and there's

730
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 15: like and nobody ever says nothing about it, and I've

731
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 15: been meaning to ask you.

732
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question. That's a very good question.

733
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. That's a very good question. Billy,

734
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: did you I mean, I know you know now, but

735
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: did you when? Did you know growing up that pat

736
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: Riley played here?

737
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 3: I did, Yeah, I can't tell you when I figured

738
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: that out, but I didn't know.

739
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean it is interesting. I do think

740
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: part of it is that he was on that team.

741
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: That is, you know that they've made movies about us

742
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: losing the game.

743
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.

744
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's probably part of it. But

745
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and it was history and it's

746
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: not like that was pat Reley's fault. So I don't.

747
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, so it's it's a good question.

748
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: Who's next, Hudson.

749
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: Hudson, Go ahead, Hudson. How are you? Hudson?

750
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:18,919
Speaker 15: Good?

751
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: What's up?

752
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 12: So Walker Warn jail grade three today?

753
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: Yes, he did? Were you in the gym?

754
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 16: Yeah?

755
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: Did you go crazy? Because it looked like everybody did.

756
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

757
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Well I loved it. His first points as a UK player.

758
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: What an insane shot to make it on and Hudson,

759
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: I have you? I hope you have a good Thanksgiving Billy?

760
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: Did you? Oh? Go ahead, Hudson, he's gone. Why I

761
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: didn't even appreciate the call that was with you and children.

762
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: No, that was not I was not trying to end

763
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 3: a call or anything.

764
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: That was just. But I didn't say I didn't give

765
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: you the magic words.

766
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: It was the magic time, says who.

767
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Call screener? All right, I'm sorry Hudson. Billy was not.

768
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: I was not. Billy is not in the Thanksgiving spirit?

769
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: It was yeah that he should be? Did you okay?

770
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: So walker Horn? For a second, I had somebody say

771
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: send me a picture and said walker Horn. Uh. In

772
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: the moments after that looked like big Erne McCracken from

773
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: King Pitt and I think that's a pretty good call.

774
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: And big Ern McCracken is one of my favorite characters

775
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: in a movie ever. Uh, And I think that's a

776
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: good call. I'm a big walker horn guy. I love

777
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: the joy he had with it, you know, like he

778
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: wasn't tried that cool. You know, sometimes we've had walk

779
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: on who try that cool, Like Brad cal Perry tried

780
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: that cool. I like Sam Malone a lot, but he

781
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: tried that cool. I like the walker horns, like I'm

782
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy because this is fun, you know.

783
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been trying to hit it too.

784
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: So it was and I love to see it. I'm

785
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: telling you, I love that reaction of the bench. I've

786
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 1: watched it probably ten times. It was. It was great,

787
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: and I'm calling it now, Billy. It's the thing that

788
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: turns around the scene.

789
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: I hope, So I do.

790
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna come out, We're gonna beat North

791
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: Carolina and it's gonna be somebody's one of the players

792
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: is gonna say that moment was the one that turned

793
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: it around. I don't feel like you're buying.

794
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: It, no I am. I'm just worried about the reaction

795
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: of that me hanging up on the kid there.

796
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can't be like that. I think

797
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: you're over I think you're worried too much. You didn't

798
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: do it on purpose, You probably did, actually probably did.

799
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: All right. Who's next? Hunter, Hunter, Go ahead, Hunter.

800
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 17: Matt, Billy, great to talk to you, guys. Billy, you

801
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 17: getta watch out. There might be a hashtag justice for

802
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 17: Hudson Twitter.

803
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: Is going on, so I'm sure Hudson I understand.

804
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 17: So I have one quick point that I did want

805
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 17: to make in one of your take on it. But

806
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 17: first I do have to give a quick shout out

807
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 17: to my father to fortninth birthday today. He's been a

808
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 17: case our listeners since twenty fifteen. He's he's been the

809
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 17: reason Like he's the reason why I'm talking to you

810
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 17: guys now, Like listen to his car on you know, drive,

811
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 17: so on and so forth. But I take away from

812
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 17: this game is, you know, we have the potential.

813
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: To be great.

814
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 17: My worry, though, is December is going to be a

815
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 17: very meaningful month. I mean by that because our sec

816
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 17: play is set up to where we play all the

817
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 17: all the good teams away and all the bad teams home.

818
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 17: So when we when we lose to the bad teams away,

819
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 17: it's not going to ding this as much the city.

820
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 17: So our SEC player set to help maintain seating, and

821
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 17: so this December is really gonna help us. Where we're

822
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 17: gonna make the most jumped up or down depend on

823
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 17: what happens. So I'm really hoping we can get Jay

824
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 17: and Queen's getting low backed. That way, we can you know,

825
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 17: have a great December and then we can roll that

826
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 17: into SEC play.

827
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you everything you just said right, there's

828
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: one hundred percent correct. The schedule is weird. It's a

829
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: bad schedule for us. I appreciate the call in terms

830
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: of like we may take a lot of losses, but

831
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: it actually is not a bad schedule for us in

832
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: terms of strength of schedule because, as you said, if

833
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: you lose at Alabama, you ain't gonna get punished for it,

834
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: whereas you can lose at home you might. But that's

835
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: part of why we got to beat North Carolina in Indiana,

836
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: because the neutral site games and the home games against

837
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: good teams we have to win. And we didn't win

838
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: the Michigan Stag game like the Louisville game, would it

839
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: would not have hurt us at all for an NCAA resume,

840
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: but the Michigan State one will, and so well the

841
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: North Carolina when if we lose, so we we we

842
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: need uh to win.

843
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: That A.

844
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: Kayden Lewis, by the way, was was going to be

845
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: our backup point guard. That's the he's a he's at

846
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: Villanova and we did and he decommitted and that's fine,

847
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: But like, you still could have gotten somebody. I mean,

848
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: there are people that got players in August. I mean,

849
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: whoever it was, they probably needed somebody because I don't

850
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: know if they thought that would be Aberdeen or if

851
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: they thought that would be Jasper Johnson. And I'm not

852
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: saying it can't be those guys. They just haven't yet

853
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: showcased the ability to be that. I think Jasper Johnson

854
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: is a great playmaker. I'm not sure that he's the

855
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: best at getting everybody involved, although he does he does

856
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: make I mean, he does pass well, but I'm just

857
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: not sure if that's his his strength. One person writes, Matt,

858
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: my mom, uh dated pat Riley at Lafayette High School.

859
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it's a claim to fame. Dated pat Riley.

860
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: She let me pat Riley. He's not from here. But

861
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: is he any from Lake Missouri or something?

862
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, but he'll he'll forever be big blue.

863
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: True, he will forever be big blue. Eighty seven. We

864
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: will take a break, take one final round the calls

865
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: with Billy the hang Upper and Matt Jones here on

866
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show, Welcome Back, Final segment,

867
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. We'll go I don't know,

868
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: twelve or fifteen minutes and then let Billy go home.

869
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: You're taking some heat on this Billy on the text machine.

870
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: I knew it.

871
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 3: I was counting.

872
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 9: Uh.

873
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: One person writes Matt. Billy said it was the magic

874
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: time to hang up? How does he decide that? How

875
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: do you decide that there's there's there's a there's a

876
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: cod for you to do it. But let's say you

877
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: decide to go on your own. How are you? How

878
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: are you deciding that?

879
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

880
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 5: It's just more of a feeling than it is anything

881
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 5: I can describe. No, no malice behind that hang up.

882
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: Though.

883
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: I felt like I've been doing better with kids, women

884
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 3: and children, so.

885
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: You know that the saying is always women and children first.

886
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: Are you saying for you, it's the opposite. I don't

887
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: think you want to take that position, do you.

888
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 3: No, not at all. Okay, put them on the boat,

889
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 3: get them out of there.

890
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: Okay, it's one way to say it.

891
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

892
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: Pat Riley was from Schenectady, New York, which I've never

893
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: been there, but I've always like, I've used the phrase

894
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: Schenectady as like a a word for just like a

895
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: random place like that's you know how some people used

896
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: to say if it plays in Peoria. I would always

897
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: be like, oh, it's in Schenectady. I didn't realize that's

898
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: where pat Rolly.

899
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: He's actually from there.

900
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he actually, So when I've been saying the like,

901
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: in my mind a random place, I was actually saying

902
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 1: pat Riley's home. One person says, Matt, it is crazy

903
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: seeing the little kid from North Laurel guards Steph Curry.

904
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: That really is kind of amazing. I mean it was

905
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: only what I mean, he was playing at North Laurel

906
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: three years ago, you know, I mean literally three years

907
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: ago he was playing against you know, Lynn Camp, and

908
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: now he's playing against Steph Curry. That's I mean, he

909
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: had a road game at Redbird and now He's playing

910
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: against Steph Curry in the Golden State's home arena three years.

911
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: Think about that in life, that's insane. From Redbird to

912
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: Steph and Raymond. That's you know what, Only in America

913
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: it was next.

914
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 3: Danny's next, Danny, Go ahead, Danny.

915
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

916
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 12: So we have North Carolina at REPERENI, yes we do.

917
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 12: I know we need the point guard. But I mean

918
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 12: with this person that we have, don't you just dig

919
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 12: deep and get that win?

920
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: Yes?

921
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 12: Wouldn't it change the mindset of the players and the

922
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 12: fan base.

923
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: Yes, we need this, We do need it. I completely

924
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: agree with you, and you have I mean, listen, this

925
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: isn't the ideal group, but you I think you would agree.

926
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: We have a team that can beat North Carolina Reperena.

927
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: We can win that game, Okay, I mean think about it.

928
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: We've had really good teams. Go We've had better teams

929
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: than North Carolina here, and we've gone on the road

930
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: and played teams worse than we are this year, and

931
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: they've beaten us on their home floor because the environment

932
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: and because so we can win. I mean, it's at

933
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 1: nine to thirty on a Tuesday night, so with it's

934
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna be late and we need a loud crowd and

935
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: we need all that, but we can win the game.

936
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: I'm with you.

937
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 9: Absolutely.

938
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're not great. I mean they're good,

939
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: but they're not great. I appreciate the call. You know,

940
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to see Caleb Wilson, who we wanted here,

941
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see him up close. But you know,

942
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: they lost. I think it was their point guard. Is

943
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: the guy that got hurt and the weightlifting thing. Was

944
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: that their point guard?

945
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about that.

946
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: Well, they lost one of their good players to like

947
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: a weightlifting injury, and uh so, I mean they're not

948
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred percent. Either we gotta win with

949
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: or without Jaylen Lowe and I don't think he's gonna play,

950
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 1: But with or without, uh we gotta win. Apparently, Adam

951
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: Lefko said this Gonzaga Michigan game was gonna be the

952
00:48:55,080 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: best non conference game in twenty years, which is a

953
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: strong statement from left go right now. The score is

954
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: Michigan seventy two, Gonzaga thirty seven. Goodning, that's the score,

955
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: seventy two thirty seven.

956
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 3: And Dusty Man may be a problem this year.

957
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: Who all has beaten is Michigan beaten this year, so

958
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: they beat They've beaten Oakland by forty, Wake Forest by

959
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: one in overtime, TCU by four, and then San Diego

960
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: State by forty, Auburn by thirty, and they're up thirty

961
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: on Gonzaga. That is a heck of a three day run,

962
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: isn't it.

963
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 3: They flipped a switch at the right time.

964
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if the game weren't end right now, they

965
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: would beat San Diego State, Auburn, and Gonzaga by combined

966
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: one hundred points. That's got to be one of the

967
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: greatest tournament runs ever in a preseason in tournament like.

968
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 3: Ever, they're money motivated.

969
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: We'll go to Jerry, Well, yeah, they get this money right.

970
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 1: It's like they split like two million dollars, don't they. Yeah,

971
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: if they win the.

972
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: Tournament, Yeah, all right, who's that, Jerry?

973
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: Jerry? Go ahead, Jerry.

974
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 18: Hey, thanks taking my call. Man, I'm more worried about

975
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 18: our team playing against teams are physical. I've been watching

976
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 18: this tournament in Las Vegas, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama.

977
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: I'm just worried.

978
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 18: I don't know how much we can handle physicality. And man,

979
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 18: I loved I will tell you. I want to see Quaints.

980
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 18: If we can move Moraino, which is the center at

981
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 18: Quitetess at parafoward, I think we can roll. But I'm

982
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 18: just worried about the I'm just worried about the physical county.

983
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 18: But this team, since Tennessee, they're so big and huge strong, Well.

984
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: You should be. I mean, that's how many can stay

985
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: beat us. Uh is the physical. So I think it's

986
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: a legitimate word. Appreciate the call, you know, So if

987
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be physical, then you better be athletic,

988
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: and you better be able to shoot and some things

989
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: we haven't been. So it's completely legitimate to worry. I

990
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: understand why you do, and I worry about it too.

991
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't think North Carolina will be the game where

992
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: we feel it, but Gonzaga may be. One thing I

993
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: don't like about the new elon Twitter, Billy, is that

994
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, now if you're not careful, you get the

995
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: for you instead of the following or whatever. Yeah, and

996
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: so you get tweets in like any order, and people

997
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: will see tweets I sent at one point in the

998
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: game and think I tweeted it after the game, so

999
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: I wrote, like after ten minutes, this is a pretty

1000
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: uninspiring poor effort, which it was at that point, right,

1001
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: But then people see it after the game and they

1002
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: can't think that I may have said it when we

1003
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: did look bad.

1004
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that they got to find some critical thinking there,

1005
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 3: and that's exactly right.

1006
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: One person rates, Matt, you Drew snuck into Tony's to

1007
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: see jd Vance. If you had seen him at the game,

1008
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: would you have spoken well, yeah, of course. I mean

1009
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: there was a time. He has been a multiple time

1010
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: guest on this show. I don't think people realize that,

1011
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: Billy this is he is a three time guest on

1012
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: a on a Matt Jones show KSR twice in the

1013
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: podcast once, so so yeah, I mean I haven't talked

1014
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: to him in a long time, but we I used

1015
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: to know him.

1016
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 3: So you couldn't even get into the game either, that's.

1017
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: True, knowing me to talk to him. I couldn't even

1018
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: get in both of you. We both were told to

1019
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: stay out. All right, we'll do five more. Who's next, Nathan, Nathan,

1020
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: go ahead and Nathan.

1021
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's actually crazy so that we had our

1022
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving last night and my brother came from the sales

1023
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 2: and Jad, I guess he landed in uh Our airport,

1024
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: so he was like an hour and a half getting

1025
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 2: to the dinner. So I had to just stare at

1026
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 2: the dinner because it was all done, and.

1027
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: Oh did you really you couldn't? Yeah you have? Did you? Are?

1028
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: You like a family? Everybody has to be there before

1029
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:17,959
Speaker 1: you start eating?

1030
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 2: Well yeah, because it was they were the guests, so

1031
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: I couldn't just start eating without him. But yeah, but

1032
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: that would be him out and about today I saw

1033
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: him at p Rats and he was actually like checking

1034
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 2: out couches for some reason.

1035
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 17: I don't know.

1036
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: Okay, that's craze, but.

1037
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,959
Speaker 2: Hey, uh So the one thing I was actually calling

1038
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 2: about was because you're you're joking that the walker horn

1039
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 2: might be the turning point, and I was thinking, okay, well,

1040
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 2: in all honesty, that was the funnest I've ever seen

1041
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 2: this team have this year. I agree so much better

1042
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 2: when we're loose, and I mean like so much, we're

1043
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 2: very rigid and not you know, that's when we're getting

1044
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: stagnant and everything like that. So in all honesty, I

1045
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: hope they can take that, you know, the fun that

1046
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: they saw right there and how Rupperena blew up and

1047
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: take that and move forward and have some momentum.

1048
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: So I'm totally with you, like I was kidding, but

1049
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: not really when I say that about the turning point,

1050
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: because I appreciate the call. I think you're exactly right.

1051
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: They did have fun in that moment. They look like

1052
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: a team that liked each other in that moment, and

1053
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: they look like college kids. And one thing that cal

1054
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: Perry used to say that I think it's totally true

1055
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: is these dudes at this level play better when they

1056
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 1: play loose. I think that's all. I think that's true

1057
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: of almost everyone. I think it's probably true at the

1058
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: professional level, but I definitely think it's true at the

1059
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: college level. And they did in that moment look like

1060
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: a group that was having fun, and I do hope

1061
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: it carries over. I mean, and if we win, I'm

1062
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: going to give walker Horn, Big Iron Horn, his credit

1063
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: because I think he deserves it. Four more. Who's next?

1064
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 5: Well, what it's time now for the Johnny Rocker personal

1065
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 5: injury attorney, moneymaker of the game injured get small town

1066
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,760
Speaker 5: compassion with big city results when you call the Rocker

1067
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 5: at two seven zero three two one four four two nine.

1068
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 5: And while walker Horn is our MVP of the game.

1069
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 5: We'll go in a different direction for the money maker

1070
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 5: and pick Colin Chandler, who scored fourteen points, had five rebounds,

1071
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 5: and five assists. In twenty six minutes. He was plus

1072
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 5: thirty eight, which was tied for first on the team,

1073
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 5: and he scored or assisted on twelve of eighteen straight

1074
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 5: points near the end of the first half. That was

1075
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 5: really the run that got Kentucky to the blowout stage.

1076
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 5: He is our moneymaker of the game.

1077
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: How would you define for people what it means to

1078
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 1: be the money maker of the game?

1079
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I uh, somebody.

1080
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: If you're picking it, you need to you need to

1081
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: have a definition.

1082
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was not a clear definition given to me

1083
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 3: when we made the name change.

1084
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: But how are you picking the people?

1085
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 5: You know, somebody that maybe made a little money tonight,

1086
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 5: maybe they did something else.

1087
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: That's a Ryan limit definition. You just repeat the words

1088
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: he's money. Yes, it's someone who makes money. Yeah, okay,

1089
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: all right, Well maybe we need to work on the

1090
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: definition because I do think it like we should be

1091
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: precise as to who the money.

1092
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: Maker and it does not involve gambling. This is a

1093
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 3: completely different kind of Sorry. Four more, Who's next lane?

1094
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: Lane go ahead, Lane.

1095
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 19: Yeah, Hey, you mentioned that, Hope, it is difficult to

1096
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 19: read this year, and I agree with you on that.

1097
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 19: I think the original concern with him coming in was

1098
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 19: that he was just kind of giving off really corny,

1099
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 19: youth pastor vibes, and then that quickly was squelched by

1100
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 19: his passion and it's just his firsthand experience understanding the

1101
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 19: UK fan base and that was awesome. But I'm just

1102
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 19: curious if you have any observations on his ability to

1103
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 19: kind of motivate a locker room because he's not coaching

1104
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 19: the fans on the court, and I know that he

1105
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 19: his his past experience has been at Utah Valley and BYU,

1106
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 19: which is just a very different type of player. And

1107
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 19: I'm just curious to me he seems I love him,

1108
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 19: I love him as a coach, and he's a really

1109
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 19: likable guy, but he also seems really unrelatable to me,

1110
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 19: and I'm curious as a player.

1111
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 1: A Vince Marrow type that well, I think he has that.

1112
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: I do think he has that in some of these assistants.

1113
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 1: So I think Alvin Brooks, from what I understand, is

1114
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: really good at relating to players. Jason Hart is really

1115
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: good at relating players and even Cody figure. I think

1116
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: his assistants do serve him well in that regard. But

1117
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: I do think everybody takes the lead of the head coach.

1118
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: So there are many, many, many different ways to be

1119
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: successful as a coach as a leader. So let's take

1120
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: last year. I agree with everything you just said. Last year,

1121
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: I think he really connected with that team, But you

1122
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: have to remember what that team was. That was a

1123
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys from places like Drexel, right, that were

1124
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of like Mark Pope, right, people who were kind

1125
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: of very smart, underappreciated working hard for everything they did.

1126
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: And that was probably a group that really vibed with

1127
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: Mark Pope's and they would talk about how much he

1128
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: motivated them. Okay, some of the we've got some of

1129
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: those guys on this team, but we also have and

1130
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: are going to especially if he gets like Tyron Stokes

1131
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: and some of these guys, a different kind of guy,

1132
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: a guy that's got super talent that probably is not

1133
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: going to be you know, reading yates when it's over,

1134
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: And so how does he relate to those guys? And

1135
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that question. I don't know.

1136
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's an open question because you're right,

1137
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: he didn't have those guys at Utah Valley and he

1138
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't have those guys at BYU, and so I don't know.

1139
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: It seems like it's go ahead.

1140
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 19: Well, I don't think he's really landed like a killer

1141
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 19: or like a dog type of care yet. I mean

1142
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 19: last year that was that guy was from Nottingham, England

1143
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 19: and Amari Williams, and he was virtually mute on the court.

1144
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, So like I'm curious.

1145
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 19: I'm excited to see quaintance, but I'm curious to see

1146
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 19: if he can get.

1147
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: Well the acquaintans is a unique guy because a quaintance

1148
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: is like quaintance is an anime chess guy. Right, So

1149
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: like quaintance, right, he'll probably work out really well with Quaintance.

1150
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I appreciate the call. I think it's

1151
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: a fair question. I I have found Pope to be

1152
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to use the word odd because that

1153
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: implies like a negativity, and so I don't want to

1154
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't feel negativity. But I've found him to be

1155
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: very difficult to read in these last few weeks, and

1156
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why that is. I think losing his

1157
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: part of it. He sounded more like himself tonight. He

1158
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: clearly was very happy having the unforgettables there. But I

1159
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, we've all talked a lot about

1160
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: the way he looked at the Michigan State game and

1161
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: what he said after. I guess we have to see

1162
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: what it's like Tuesday night, because it's been It's been

1163
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: odd to me. I mean, I feel like with most

1164
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: of our coaches, we kind of know him, and I

1165
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: still think with Mark like it feels like I don't

1166
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: completely feel like I know what I'm going to see.

1167
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Every time he talks three more, who's next?

1168
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 3: We have two on the line, so we need one

1169
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: more person to call in two.

1170
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: I think we had I think that you're probably scared.

1171
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 3: I don't blame him after all, Right, hopefully we'll get

1172
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 3: someone before.

1173
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: This is ron n Go ahead, Ron Billy, everything good,

1174
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: every Thanksgiving to you.

1175
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 9: A quick question, No, hope. You know you had mentioned

1176
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 9: that he's been going third and stuff. Do you think

1177
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 9: that he made me, uh upset that he's left me

1178
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 9: like you with what they have?

1179
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: And no, no, not at all. This dude is in

1180
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: heaven with this job, So no, I don't think he's regretting.

1181
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: And look we've got We've by just got more n

1182
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I L than they had when he was there, but

1183
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: we still have more than they do in Aisle. Is

1184
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be an excuse here. I mean that we

1185
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: we probably spent more on this roster, or at least

1186
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: equal to every other team, so uh, BYU. He might

1187
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: be like, well, you gave him more money than I got.

1188
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: And that may be true at b YU, but when

1189
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: it comes to here, as much as they have at BYU,

1190
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: Kentucky will have equal amounts.

1191
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 9: And they at all the money out there.

1192
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: You know they do, but they didn't spend I mean

1193
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: they you know, they spent a lot on AJ Demonsa,

1194
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of those guys, most of their players

1195
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 1: returned from last year. I mean it's not like they

1196
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't go get seven portal guys. Well

1197
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: they may have gotten said, but like they still have returner.

1198
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Richie Saunders kid who we wanted returned, so.

1199
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 9: I mean they they you know, we had him on

1200
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 9: campus and he went back or something or that.

1201
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: I guess that may have been his first year. But anyway,

1202
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Yaxel Landenberg twenty points, ten assists. There's

1203
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: some ten rebounds and seven assists tonight. That's pretty good, crazy,

1204
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: almost triple double. They are up forty four points on

1205
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Gonzaga right now. Make that forty six points on Knzack. Wow,

1206
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the more impressive. That's one of

1207
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the more impressive December performances I think I've ever seen

1208
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: in a college basketball game. Who's next? Lucky, Lucky, go ahead, Lucky.

1209
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 16: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Guys, poor Hudson. By

1210
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 16: the way, I got a random, quite hypothetical. Lowe is starting,

1211
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 16: so I've got to set somebody. I'm not setting Chandler,

1212
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 16: I'm not setting Aberdeen. I'm setting oh Way. What would

1213
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 16: you do, and what do you think Pope would do?

1214
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: If you were talking about based only on their performance

1215
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: this year? You would sit Oway? Yes? Without question? What

1216
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: do I think? I think I would have to know

1217
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: Oway's mind to sort of know. Am I gonna lose

1218
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: this kid if I send him? And I don't know

1219
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the answer because I don't know him. My guess is

1220
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Pope will give him every chance to be the starter,

1221
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: and he would probably sit Chandler or Aberdeen. But if

1222
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: you just based it on performance this year, yes, you

1223
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: would start low Probably what will happen is that Lowe

1224
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: will come off the bench at least for I mean,

1225
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: that's what he did in the Louisville game, So I'm

1226
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,600
