00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: but very excited as the Cats get a big win

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: yesterday against Illinois. Now get ready to face Tennessee at

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: seven point thirty in Indianapolis on Friday night. I got

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: a text message this morning, Ryan from that my mom

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: has already booked a hotel room in Indianapolis.

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: Wow, Karen's excited about this trip to indian.

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: I gotta find tickets. That's when you're looking at.

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Those prices aren't cheap.

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: That's okay, A loving son. Yeah, hopefully maybe somebody listening

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: there is like I'd like mad his mom to get

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: a couple of tickets. But we've got a few days

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: to get brick it ready. And it's there because for

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: the first time Sin's twenty nineteen, we go to the

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen thanks to Pope. In this group of I

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: don't want to say ragtag vagabonds, but there is a

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: little bit of vagabond nature. First team in the history

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: of the NCAA tournament to go to the Sweet sixteen

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: who returned zero points from the season before Ryan Limit.

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: That's all makes I think this team so endearing to

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: all of us. We know what we were getting into

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: when this. When Mark Pope got hired and he put

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: together this roster in two weeks, we kind of knew

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 4: this ragtag bunch is kind of what they are from Direxel, Fairley, Dickinson,

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: Dayton and look where they got us.

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: They got us into Sweet sixteen.

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, when when Cal came, I remember saying this

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: when he came, you do a you do as a

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: it's a bet you're betting on you're gonna be good immediately,

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: which happened. And the trade off for that is when

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: you leave, you're starting over. And that's even more true

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal layer that even becomes and that's

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: exactly what happened. And most people would assume, Okay, starting

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: over is going to be a two or three process,

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: it's gonna be difficult, and instead Mark Pope has this

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: in the Sweet sixteen.

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it's fair to call them what

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: you all said, because They said it themselves at the

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: podium yesterday. I don't remember if it was Butler or Mari,

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 5: but they're like, we were overlooked. We didn't have a

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 5: bunch of stars, didn't get a lot of offers. We

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: had to work our way to get to this point,

65
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 5: and that's what made it so much special for the

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: guys themselves.

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 6: So it's just not a fan opinion.

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: They feel that way themselves, that they kind of were

69
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 5: an underdog role until getting here.

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then, you know, I thought, to be honest

71
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: with you, when the season started, just make the tournament.

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: I felt like that they had done a good job

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: in the portal, but that they were probably one player short,

74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: and then their best player gets hurt and is out

75
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: for the year, and so now in some ways your

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: two players short, and yet you're still in the sweet sixteen. Shandon,

77
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how. You can't be anything

78
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: but thrilled about that.

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 7: As soon as they got that win against Troy, I

80
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 7: felt like there was a weight lifted at two all

81
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 7: too right, Yeah, you've moved on to the second round,

82
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 7: then you've win. Yesterday, I think that was the most

83
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 7: impressive defensive performance of the entire season yesterday?

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Did you realize on that point that in the last

85
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: thirteen games Kentucky is eleventh in the country defensively? That's

86
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: crazy after being one hundred and fifteenth before that.

87
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: But who saw that coming?

88
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: Not me?

89
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: Not me.

90
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 7: But you know, I don't think this team's finished yet.

91
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 7: And if Tennessee and go on to the Elite.

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: Eight, well then you're legendary.

93
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: It's legendary run, especially in the first year from our posts.

94
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, remarkable stock.

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: You know, you don't have to do the remarkable tried

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: early in the year.

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 6: They're working their way into it.

98
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: It was, you know, it was what are you laughing at?

99
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: It was exciting. You know. Milwaukee was weird in some

100
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: ways because it ryan wasn't as many UK fans as usual, right,

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: the ones that were there were very excited. I think,

102
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: you know, it's a it's a broader conversation about the

103
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: way we do the SEC tournament. I think it hurts

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: us in the first and second round with attendance was

105
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: where we treat it as you know, comic con. Really,

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of how our fans treat the

107
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: SEC tournament now. And then they take the first and

108
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: second round off, and I think we'll treat it as

109
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: Comic Con again in Indianapolis. But it made it sort

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: of weird. It made it weird to be in an

111
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: environment that was pro Illinois. But yesterday they never let

112
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: those fans ever really get into the game. They had that.

113
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that arena was bustling with a line and

114
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: they just couldn't get into it.

115
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: It was almost a home game for Illinois. But every

116
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 4: time Illinoi'd make a run, we had guys that come

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: down and hit a big shot. Every every single time

118
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: we would stop their run.

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Think about some of those Colin Chandler hit one. Braa

120
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: hit one. Butler got the steal and the pass to

121
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: Garrison for an an one. I mean, those moments just

122
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 2: kept having it. He Andrew probably made the biggest one

123
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: is they I'd forgotten until I saw the highlights. They

124
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: cut it to six and then Carr got the end

125
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: one that kind of put up put away the game.

126
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 7: To Kentucky's credit, though they came out, they set the

127
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 7: tone early and they never allowed those Illinois fans to

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 7: get into it. If it had been you know, you

129
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 7: flip that script and Illinois comes out, and you know

130
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 7: goes on a big run. Think that that maybe could

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 7: have changed the tone for the entire.

132
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they started the first and second

133
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: halves drew great. I mean Brad Underwood said we lost

134
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: the game in the first five minutes the first half,

135
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: in the first five minutes in the second half, And

136
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: I think that's right. I think, you know, coaching, I

137
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: think it showcases itself to me, coaching at the start

138
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: of games, start of halves, and then in the last

139
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: two minutes, and when it comes to the start of

140
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: the game, the start of the half, our guys aceed it.

141
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you said, they had an answer anytime Illinois

142
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 5: got close. Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like Gonzaga

143
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 5: duke all the big wins, Andrew Carr had like a

144
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: late and one like he just right. Numbers could prove

145
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 5: me wrong, but I feel like I've seen him do

146
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 5: that over and over this year. That and just defensively,

147
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 5: I thought they were amazing. Once they got that lead,

148
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: they were just able to protect it. Sure they had

149
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: an answer on the other end when Illinois would get hot.

150
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 5: But for Illinoid had fourteen turnovers and there were fourteen stills.

151
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 5: That is a pretty crazy statistic. Well, first of all,

152
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 5: you know Mark Pope, he shortened the rotation.

153
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I think I think if O Way doesn't

154
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: get in foul trouble, you would have had five guys

155
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: playing thirty minutes, you know, which is what we've been

156
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: calling for all year. But you know what, may I

157
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: may you know there was maybe a plan to get

158
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: these guys minutes so that because Colin Chandler played eighteen minutes.

159
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean again, think about think about a month ago.

160
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: If I told you Colin Chandler was playing eighteen minutes

161
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: in the second round of the NCAA tournament, You'd think

162
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I was nuts.

163
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: He was the eleventh or twelfth man a month ago.

164
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, back then he was afraid to shoot a three.

165
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: If you told me he'd shoot from the logo, I'd

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: be like.

167
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: Well, what kind of logo shot that was? I have

168
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: to admit the logo shot was when I had gotten

169
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: nervous and walked away for a minute. I hadn't seen

170
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: the logo shot till the highlights. That was a logo shot.

171
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: He didn't have to shoot that. But how about him

172
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: having to get it rupt that wouldn't shoot a three?

173
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 7: Him having the confidence to day now, and then he

174
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 7: does it so calm and cool.

175
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: You know, Yes, he's gonna be good. Man, He is

176
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: gonna be There's just something about his nature and his athleticism.

177
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: Colin Chandler is gonna be good.

178
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: We've seen him develop as years gone on. I don't

179
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: know because he was two years off from basketball, but

180
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: now he's like he's get as many minutes as anybody

181
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: coming off the benches and six man.

182
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: As we're sitting there and I expect him to come back,

183
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: but as we're sitting there kind of waiting official words,

184
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: oh wait, will be the one we wait for the most,

185
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: probably meaning like it's the biggest, But I think Chandler

186
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: might be second for me. No offense to everybody else,

187
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: but I think when I'm sitting there, going all right,

188
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: who's coming back, Chandler's maybe going to be the one that,

189
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I'm out there looking at his

190
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: fiance's Instagram post saying we're gonna move our home to Lexington,

191
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: and I'm like.

00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: Good for you, girl, Yeah you go girl, you go girl.

00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: There's good good, there's good opportunity in Lexington for you.

194
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: Spare time to buy.

195
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: It's not the mortgage help you with your financing.

196
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: Uh, so we get the win, and you know, for

197
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: Mark Pope, yeah, we talk. You know, you can see

198
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: there's a video we put Mario put online in my

199
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: speech last night about kind of the community of BBN.

200
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: But there was you know, it was such a cool

201
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: feeling on the court and I intentionally walked back. So

202
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: for people who didn't hear the post game show, I

203
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 2: watched the game at the Saint Kate Arts Hotel that

204
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: I did not understand you more specifically in the bank

205
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: lobby attached to the Saint Kate Arts Hotel.

206
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: Because that's where that's where the TV was.

207
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: Well, that was where a TV was without sound, no

208
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: sound or people or people except the man telling people

209
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: they couldn't go to the restroom. And uh, you know,

210
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: there were a couple of times all I got nervous.

211
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at?

212
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: You're just you're incredible?

213
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: Why why I am? But why your mine?

214
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 7: Well again I said this on the postgame ship when

215
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 7: we drove from Kentucky to Milwaukee. Yes, you have the

216
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 7: ability to go in and get really good seats, by

217
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 7: the way, I understand, and you decide I don't want.

218
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: To go into the arena watch the game.

219
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: So I was in there before the game.

220
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: I want I want to go to a bank watch

221
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: it on a TV.

222
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 7: And most people would say, I would like to get,

223
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 7: you know, some audio so I can hear the game.

224
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 3: You don't know, I want to know what.

225
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: I gave my own audio. Yeah, I had my own

226
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: my own commentary. So what is it about that? Are

227
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: you just just being in there? There's just too many

228
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: nerves and like I you know, and I thought I'd

229
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: be able to watch this one, but I didn't.

230
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: He watched the Troy game.

231
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that one was more nerve wracking in some ways.

232
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: But but but but I decided to walk back because

233
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to be in the post game atmosphere. I

234
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: was running. It was pouring ring. I mean, I just

235
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 2: it was pouring ring, and I was running back and

236
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm too old to be running. These are not running shoes,

237
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: these Jordan's eleven Low's. I don't know when they made these.

238
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: They didn't make them for Milwaukee street environment. So I'm

239
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: running back. I get there. I get there like right

240
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: as the game ends. I mean, the game has just ended,

241
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: and I run on the court. I'm dripping like a

242
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: wet dog. Uh and I go in there and just

243
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: seeing the post game ran environment was so cool. I mean, people,

244
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: you know, giving me five and then you see, you know,

245
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: you take these players and one player is with Pope

246
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: on CBS, then one player is with Jack on the

247
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: local radio, then another with Noah Eagle and Tom Creane

248
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: on the national radio, and it's Butler Oway and and Brea,

249
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: and then the other players are up in the crowd celebrating.

250
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: It's just it was just a just an awesome environment

251
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: and it was just such a great feeling. And I've

252
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: had that feeling a few times over the years, right

253
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: the twenty twelve National title game. You know, I remember

254
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: when they in twenty fifteen when they just pounded teams

255
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: the environment after the game, but nothing seemed to me

256
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: to be that shared where the fans and the players

257
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: and the coaches were sharing it together. Usually they run

258
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: in the locker room, and to see that moment you

259
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: have to go in the locker room. This was shared

260
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: in front of everybody, and Ryan that was really cool.

261
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever seen that before, and

262
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.

263
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: Well, like we talked about on the postgame show, the

264
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: other night. Not only did we need this as a

265
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: fan base, that locker room needed that. They you know,

266
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: Mark Pope needed that. You know, he looks over and

267
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: he sees Arkansas and BYU in the sweet sixteen.

268
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: And that shouldn't have mattered, but it probably would. It

269
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: probably would act that b why you made it, which

270
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: is where he was and John cal Perry made it,

271
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: which is where who was here before. Sure they both

272
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: had won the day before, and he matched it, right,

273
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: so almost anything that happens next. You know, you got

274
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: to the second weekend and he matched it, and I

275
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: think which is more than both of those schools had

276
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: done before. I think that's a big deal.

277
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody likes to get online and bicker about who

278
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 5: won or who's doing this, but I think we can

279
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 5: all just look at each other and go, look, all

280
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: we all one of those teams improved and got an

281
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 5: upgrade however you want to look at it.

282
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 6: So I think it's big that all.

283
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: We all won. It was the very I always say

284
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: when people break up somebody it's one person wanted it

285
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: more than everybody else. But maybe that's not always true,

286
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: because in this case, everybody won. You know, look at

287
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: these three schools BYU ended up getting the coach that

288
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: their biggest donor had won it and had kind of

289
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: groomed so that when he got there, they got the

290
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: nl in ile money to go get whoever they want.

291
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: If you listen to my Orn Metcalf, he says they'll

292
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: have the most in ale in the country and that

293
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: dude was only gonna give it if that guy was

294
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: the coach.

295
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 6: They already have the number one player locked in.

296
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: So it worked for them. Sure, then you look at

297
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: cal he was done here, he was done. It was over.

298
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: There was gonna be no in Ale. They wouldn't have

299
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: had the money to go get John L. Davis. They

300
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: wouldn't have the money to get jonas a do. There

301
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: was no money here for him because people were done

302
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: with it. They just were. And he was done. He

303
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: was grumpy and he was angry and it was over.

304
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: He goes, gets this big pot of money, takes him

305
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: a little while, but gets reinvigorated and now uses the

306
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: underdog roll to get a couple wins and then Mark Pope.

307
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: The thing this fan base needed was to come together

308
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: as one feel the energy of BBN, and you couldn't

309
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: pick a better person to make that happen. Everybody won,

310
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: and in our case, we won, and we won Ryan

311
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: like we want to win, yes, which is as like

312
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: a group feeling like we're a part of it. That's

313
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: what we want. We want that more than anything. We

314
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: like winning more than any We like winning. But when

315
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: we can win the way we enjoy to feel it,

316
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: it's even better.

317
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: It's hard to explain, but you're exactly right. We want

318
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: those guys. They're a different kind of one and done,

319
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: but we want them to appreciate what that means to

320
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: put that Kentucky jersey on and love for this program

321
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: and love the fan base.

322
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: And they've got that with this group.

323
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: If you think about when Cow was here, the players

324
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: that we beloved the most were the ones who seemed

325
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: like they wanted to be here the most, even going

326
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: to like DeMarcus Cousins, right, Michael Kidd, Gilchris Tyler Eulss.

327
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: The guys that people felt like they're playing with this. Yeah,

328
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna leave, but they love this. And

329
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: the ones that it felt like it was a pass through,

330
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: people didn't feel the connection. This was the kind of group, though,

331
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: that we really want. No, they're not like Richie Pelfrey

332
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: feld House Woods you know from Kentucky or right here here,

333
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: but they appreciate this opportunity. I had somebody close to

334
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: otega Olways say to me, I'm almost certain he'll come

335
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: back because he knows this place changed his life.

336
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 6: That's what we want.

337
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty powerful. That's exactly what we want. And this

338
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: is the group that has done that. If I'm nine

367
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: in the arena then rushing back to get a photo

368
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,080

00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: Oh, huge head foul.

370
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: First of all, Harold huge head, I never watched the

371
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: game in the arena. You know that.

372
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: Why don't we go to be there? But you're not there?

373
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: I am there in spirit.

374
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 6: He likes the local banks.

375
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: No, I mean I like to be there before and

376
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: after the game. I did not try to get a

377
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: photo off. He just was there and then I was accepted.

378
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: See you can't even have a nice moment without somebody

379
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: trying to ruin. That's all right, And I didn't even

380
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: know there was gonna be a picture like Dylan and Mario.

381
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: I didn't even know whobody was gonna be there. Don't

382
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: worry about what hero well, Harold huge head trying to

383
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: spoil my vibes, kind of like Ryan trying to spoil

384
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: my pronunciation of this beautiful town.

385
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did tell you it was Marvel.

386
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: I don't think that was.

387
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: He's like Marvel.

388
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: One person writes, Matt, do you think Travis Perry will

389
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: end up not staying because he didn't play? I mean no,

390
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be. Whatever happens is not

391
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: gonna because of that, you know. I I think Colin

392
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: Chandler developing will have an impact on what Travis decides

393
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: to do. I have not heard that he would do

394
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: something else. But Colin Taylor's good, and he's athletic, and

395
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if he ever considered playing point guard,

396
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: but now he had to do it the way it worked,

397
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: and I actually think he's pretty good at it.

398
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 5: Drew, you know, yeah, uh, just with his athleticism. I

399
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 5: don't want to get too far ahead. But if he

400
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 5: continues to develop, he could see a chance at an

401
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 5: NBA career because for a guard, the way he plays

402
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 5: in the athleticism and and.

403
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: He's big, He's got size, and he's athletic, and he

404
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: can shoot, you know. I mean he was playing defense

405
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: Ryan well before he started playing offense. He just looks

406
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: scared to be shoot. Well, now he's not scared to shoot.

407
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: That's how I earned his minutes with good defense. I

408
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 4: I never envisioned him as a solid point guard, but

409
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: he's proved me wrong. And the fact that he can

410
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 4: hit the shot from outside that does make h a

411
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: little more dangerous.

412
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: What was your favorite moment of the game yesterday? What

413
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: was there a play or something that was specific that

414
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 2: you liked. Anybody can speak up here.

415
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: Don't remember, Like, yeah, the Brandon Garrison at the end

416
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 4: one because he walked right in front of us. I

417
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: mean he was like two feet from us and he's

418
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: flexing and he's saying things we can't say on the radio, and.

419
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: That I think that was la. I mean remember we

420
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: had turned it over, yeah, and we stole it right.

421
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 7: Back from him and a Visa had a block three

422
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 7: point shot by Mari.

423
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was. And then on the other

424
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: end went to.

425
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: Yeah that last night when I was watching the highlights,

426
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: I think it's stan Van Gundy goes why did he

427
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: shoot that? Ye? Like I Mari was right there. Did

428
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: he think he was gonna be able to shoot it

429
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: over him?

430
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 5: Mario could have blocked him with his armpit he that

431
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: so well defended. And Mario also had another coast to

432
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: coast dunk. I know we were all a little frustrated

433
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 5: to Mario early he couldn't make a layup, but the

434
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: coast to coast in both games in Milwaukee were fun

435
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 5: to watch him.

436
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 7: Looks like Yanna's still a couple of times where he's

437
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 7: dribbling the ball way too much, but you know what,

438
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 7: I'll take that trade off for what you get on

439
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 7: the other end.

440
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: And you know, he had I thought a bad first

441
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: half that he turned into a great second half, which

442
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 2: is exactly what you want to see. I mean, you're

443
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: not gonna always be good, so bad first half turned

444
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: it into a great second half.

445
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: Jack Gibbons walked in front of him at halftime. We're like,

446
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: why didn't he just dunk it? Why didn't a Mariy

447
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: just dunk it. He's right there in the basket, He's

448
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 4: seven foot tall. Just dunked the basketball.

449
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: I watched games on and off with Larry as a child,

450
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: and he only had one analysis ever of games. Why

451
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: didn't he just dunk it? He's been he's been doing that,

452
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: like every time a big man would miss a layup.

453
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: Going back to Jared Prickett, I like you, Jared, but

454
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: you were the worst defender. Uh My, Larry would just

455
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 2: go why won't he dunk it? And I think of

456
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 2: that with Amari, Why won't you dunk it?

457
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 5: Like I can tell you about everyone I know, we're

458
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: sending me text people in the arena, why won't he

459
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 5: do it? I mean, it was just lay up, lay up,

460
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: and they're all misses. I tried to excuse it with

461
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: the overfloated ball, but when it was like four or

462
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 5: five in the first half, was.

463
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: Well, what about what about that run by Kobe? I

464
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: mean Kobe Brea. I mean he had the announcers, remember

465
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Kevin harland and and Stanvian Gunny your NBA announced Dan

466
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 2: Bonner isn't but Harlan and they both were like, this

467
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: dude is a flamethrower. You know, I was saying yesterday,

468
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: I don't think any of these guys will get but

469
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: playing the NBA, I should alter that conversation to say,

470
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't think any of them will be draft picks.

471
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: But I could see a team trying to talk themselves

472
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: into bray As shooting because he is a He is

473
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: just a rifleman when it comes to shoot.

474
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 7: When he gets hot. I don't think there's anybody better

475
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 7: in college not shooting.

476
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: There's nobody better shooting.

477
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: The ball, and he's shipping.

478
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 5: When he created he turned that one guy round, I

479
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 5: mean he had him spinning completely lost to the finder.

480
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 5: I think it was more of a mid range than

481
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: a three. But he's been showing off some good ball

482
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 5: handling and driving here lately too.

483
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: I do think the story of the game, though, to me,

484
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: is Butler.

485
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

486
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're just talking an overall story, I mean,

487
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: he's playing with one arm, right, they keep trying new slings.

488
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 2: He's on like his fourth sling, and I guess this

489
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: one work.

490
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: I guess it did work. He has zero points against Troy, right.

491
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and fourteen points, but controlled the game. He twice

492
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: did that thing where he drives by guy, then Waite

493
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: sleeves behind him and kind of sticks his butt into

494
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: him to push him back, and then goes forward. He

495
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: did it twice in that game last night, and it

496
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: worked perfectly both times.

497
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: We see how valuable he is of the team just

498
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 4: doing that, just running the offense, keeping everybody in control,

499
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 4: making the right decision and playing d playing great defense.

500
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he should have said thirteen points and six turnovers.

501
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: He Casparis Yakachunas see, I got.

502
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: It good, nailed it.

503
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: He I'm wonna say he was a non factor, but

504
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: he was completely harassed the whole game.

505
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: He rattled.

506
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: You add Will Riley and Casparras up. They had eighteen points.

507
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: You take that any day. Those are two first round

508
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: picks that you held the eighteen points. Will Riley didn't

509
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: even play in the second half because he was because

510
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: they shut him down so much.

511
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Consparras was definitely rattled most of the game. You

512
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: could tell, especially early on, missed some shots. Because I

513
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 4: think but Butler deserves all the credit.

514
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: Butler played a lot on him. Chandler played him a

515
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, they they really did an amazing job.

516
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: If I'm nine to eighth, twenty two eighty seven.

517
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: Who'd you say is from here? Greg Popovich and Dan

Speaker 2: Okay, I wish you'd told me that for a book.

00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 2: There was a guy dressed as like RoboCop, but a

528
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 2: Kentucky RoboCop, which I have two. First of all, looked awesome, too,

529
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: very awesome. You can see it on Ryan Lemon's Twitter account.

530
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 2: But I have two questions. One where does one get

531
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: one of those? Like like where do you find that costume?

532
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: And number two like it's really cool to walk into

Speaker 2: gets a little hot, probably gets a little hot, a

537
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable. I was helping, Yeah, who's going to the bathroom?

538
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 7: It looks homemade. It looks more like a storm Trooper.

539
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: To me, I'm not a Star Wars guy.

540
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: It sounds like you are. It sounds like I'm Scarce

541
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: scar It is not a RoboCop and it's a Star

542
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: proper Chewbacca.

543
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: There an extra hime.

544
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

545
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean, I think you can't sit in

546
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 7: that at the entire night. That's gotta be hot.

547
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: I would think it was. And he was sitting on

548
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: one of those hot seats with his little feet dangling

549
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 2: off of it.

550
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 7: So this is what we're gonna do now, Just encourage

551
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 7: people to dress up like mascot.

552
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I mean, I'll say, Friday night at the

553
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: bar will be exciting playing We're gonna play Tennessee. I

554
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 2: want to focus on Tennessee starting tomorrow. I do want

555
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: to enjoy this moment because I think this is an

556
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: exciting moment. What did you you know? Illinois just they

557
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: never really material We got that early lead, and I

558
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: think we led they said thirty eight of the forty

559
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: minutes of the game.

560
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 5: They went up five to four, and then Kentucky led

561
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 5: for thirty seven minutes and forty seconds.

562
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 6: I think it helped.

563
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: Illinois was pretty cold early, and then the second half

564
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 5: they started hitting a couple threes, but the cushion was

565
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 5: already too big for them to really be a threat.

566
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: Yes, they only ended up shooting twenty five percent from three,

567
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 4: and I think that's just because they hit a couple

568
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 4: of late.

569
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, worse than that if it wasn't for little Z.

570
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 3: Little Z.

571
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Little Z had five threes.

572
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: I just kept waiting for the run to come, and

573
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 3: it really never did.

574
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: Did they cut it to six right there at the end,

575
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: and that was but that was only the still a

576
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: minute and a half left when they cut it to six.

577
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: Well, on the on the pregame, I said, they're very inconsistent,

578
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 5: and they went forty percent the night before, and even

579
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 5: those Illinois fans we talked to were like, we can

580
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 5: never put two games together, and that proved to be true.

581
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 5: They went from forty percent to twenty something percent. That's

582
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: just kind of what their team's been this year.

583
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm nine twenty two eighty seven. For people who

584
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: watched it home, I think Havin uh Kevin Harland on

585
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: the game had to be exciting, Like even last night

586
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: when I was listening to the highlights, it was very cool.

587
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 2: Listening to him call. I mean like he's got you know,

588
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: he's got that voice, he's got that and we were

589
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: used to seeing him on big NBA games. I mean, Mario,

590
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: you want to talking about geek and half Yeah, he was,

591
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: he was at I was trying to think, like we've

592
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: talked about before, I in my lifetime, I don't really

593
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: freak out about many celebrities, Like if you go through

594
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: my life with people, I've been like, oh, I can't

595
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: wait to meet So I met Obama though before he

596
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: was Obama, like he was a senator.

597
00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you did.

598
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: It's really I wasn't like I would freak out if

599
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: I met Oh. I did meet David Letterman and I

600
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: kind of freaked out in a REDS game. I don't

601
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: think I would freak out if I met Tony Kornheiser,

602
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: but I'd be very excited if I felt like he'd

603
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: be nice to me. I think I would freak out

604
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: with Howard Stern, but I feel like he'd be meet

605
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: I feel like he'd be a jerk, so I'd rather

606
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 2: not meet him. So a point being, I don't think

607
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: there's many people i'd be like. Mario has a list

608
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: that starts with Kevin Harris, right, I mean my man.

609
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: Like the broadcast to go get a selfhie.

610
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: Well no, I mean he was like, I gotta meet

611
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: Kevin Harley. I got to meet Kevin Harley and he

612
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: broke away from me at one point and grabbed Kevin

613
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: Harlan like a stalker and was like, I need you

614
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: to take a picture. I've never seen Kevin Harlan has

615
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: never had a bigger fan than he had with Mario

616
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: last night.

617
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: As soon as I got to the arena, Mario, I'm sorry.

618
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 4: Rio rushed up to me and just show me his

619
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,360

Speaker 8: Okay, I'll give you two of them, one of them

643
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: the young Mario. I'm telling you what injected fresh blood

644
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 8: into this crew.

645
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: Guys.

646
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 8: I love y'all, but every now and then we get

647
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 8: a little staff, need a little young blood to get

648
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 8: in there. And even though he thanks Sonic Stock for

649
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 8: a couple of days that time, he's a pretty good.

650
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: Sailor, yes he is.

651
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 8: And also mar Pope is making the NCAA tournament great again.

652
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 8: Watching the game since since the boys Julius Randall on them,

653
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 8: we're making that run.

654
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I call from party, I appreciate it.

655
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 2: I actually I totally agree with him. There is you know,

656
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: there was just an excitement about about that victory. I

657
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 2: was trying. I mean I was trying. I think the

658
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 2: last time I was that excited about a tournament win

659
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: it was probably when we beat UCLA in twenty seventeen

660
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: because Dearon Fox had had that crazy good game against

661
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: Lonzo Ball.

662
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 6: You say they got him earlier that year.

663
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: You see, there was I was really into that win

664
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: and and uh, you know, but this to me, I mean,

665
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: when we beat Houston on the last second shot, that

666
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: was exciting. But I don't know, I don't know that

667
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: I felt to say, there's just probably go back to

668
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: that one and the Julie. I think the Julius Randall

669
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: team is a good analogy because we didn't expect any

670
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: of those wins, so each win got more and more exciting.

671
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: I kind of thought we were gonna lose yesterday, to

672
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: be honest with him, and so I think it was

673
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: kind of exciting when we won.

674
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 7: It's been a while since we've had anything to get

675
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 7: excited about, so that's refreshing, first of all. And now

676
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 7: you got your biggest, well one of your biggest rivals

677
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 7: coming up this weekend in Tennessee. That's gonna be a

678
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 7: crazy atmosphere, I think in Indianapolis on Friday night.

679
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 4: I think really this kind of started with the last

680
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: second shot over Oklahoma, just to win that first game

681
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 4: in the ANC Tournament. And the way they won it,

682
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: that last second shot. I think this that relief just

683
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: lifted off your shoulders. And then you win your first

684
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 4: game against Troy, more relief. Now you're beating on oil,

685
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: going to be sixteen. I think it's just kind of

686
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: building up. But I think it started with that Oklahoma win, and.

687
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: You mentioned nough fun the celebration was. You know a

688
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: lot of coaches they're almost too cool to celebrate. I agree,

689
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 5: Like when Jay Wright hit that buzzer beater, he just

690
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: keeps a straight face and goes to shake hands. Mark

691
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: Pope was jumping up and down. If you watch that

692
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: video UK put out, he's like Jack's get over here, Brady,

693
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 5: get over here. I don't want to hear you, but

694
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: he's jumping up and chess bumping every player on the team.

695
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's fun to see a coach get

696
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 5: that into it like he was.

697
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: That he does that. I love that he does that.

698
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: I never like when coaches do though we ain't want

699
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: anything yet, No, take a moment and and enjoy it.

700
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I I talked about last night that I

701
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: really love. They're doing this thing now where they put

702
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: the the sticker on the brackets for those guys. Take

703
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: a moment to enjoy it. I mean Pope said something

704
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 2: last night where he goes and this is true, Like

705
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: you only have so many moments in your life where

706
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: you have like elated joy about something. Take a minute

707
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: to like soak that in before you immediately go, Okay,

708
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: what's next. Enjoy that? And I think that Mark Pope

709
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: is really good ryan about making his team take that

710
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: moment and just celebrate and enjoy it. We can talk

711
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 2: about Tennessee tomorrow. Let's just enjoy this and live in

712
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: this moment that they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

713
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: And to be fair, none of these guys probably would

714
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 4: have experienced that if it hadn't been from Mark Popek

715
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: bringing him here.

716
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: You know, Lamon Lamon experienced it, but nobody else has, right,

717
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I really like that. I love how much

718
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: fun they have him. And you should see his wife

719
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: how excited she gets. I mean, his wife is just

720
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: running around like she I feels like she wants to

721
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: be a cheerleader in those moments. And I feel like

722
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: I've met his daughters and I think I've met seventy

723
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: five different peoples. I just keep meeting his daughters, and

724
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't think they're the same people. I think he's got.

725
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: I think he has an unending supply of daughters.

726
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 4: I couldn't tell him apart Layla. One of them is Leayla.

727
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 4: What's the other ones?

728
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I keep meeting. I've

729
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: met some of them like five times.

730
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: Avery, Okay, she's one on a mission, Layla.

731
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: And then there's fare others.

732
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: There are two others, there's seventy three others.

733
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 5: It is very neat how he's made it so like

734
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 5: they're at every press conference. I mean, the family is

735
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 5: with him at all times, going to everything.

736
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. They that his wife collapse at the end of

737
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: the press conferences, which I think is kind.

738
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: Of cute, as she really Yeah.

739
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: Uh, spring is sprung, and that means you're getting outside more,

740
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 2: whether that's doing yard work or just staying active by

741
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: biking or running. Increase physical activity when the weather gets

742
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: warmer can also lead to aches, pains, and injuries. That's

743
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: where court physical therapy can help. Court therapists can help

744
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: you heal and get back to where you were before.

745
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: It's easy to find the center near you. Seventy locations

746
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: statewide that's court dot com, ko RT dot com. We'll

747
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: take a break and be right back here in Meryllville, Indiana.

748
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: This is KSR. Welcome back, take you sports radio. We

749
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: got some folks on the phone. I want to go

750
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: to it, but first we got to talk about pipe bombs.

751
00:32:59,080 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: Derrek Piper.

752
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 6: Oh I saw that.

753
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: So Derek Piper. I didn't even know who this dude was,

754
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: got nothing against him. He's got twenty eight thousand followers,

755
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: so he throws from He says he gives hot takes,

756
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: which he calls hashtag pipe bombs, so that a nerd

757
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: him me hashtag to me hashtag pipe bomb. I will say,

758
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: if I worked in Illinois media, it would be hard

759
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: for me not to look at that dude all the

760
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: time and go, oh, pie bomb. Yeah, you see, because

761
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: he says like, you can't be he can't be real,

762
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: putting that in his bio hashtag pipe bomb. Anyway, he

763
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: works with twenty four seven Sports, which I guess is

764
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: a right? Is a right? Is a twenty four seven site.

765
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: It's not a rival site. He's twenty four seven site.

766
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: And he made some offhanded comment about how uh he thought, oh,

767
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: Kentucky media wears Kentucky gear. Oh is that how it's

768
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: gonna be? Like, you know, like you know, he's Mike

769
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: Wallace or something from sixty minutes working at pipe Bomb

770
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: at the Illinois Insider or whatever. Now, I don't think

771
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: that comment it was made it me, although it could

772
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: have been, but I had normally, just as a side not,

773
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: I don't wear UK gear. I do think it's kind

774
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: of like you. I mean, I only it's a rule,

775
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: but I just don't do it because like when I

776
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: start was coming up, people weren't doing it. Now it's

777
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: becoming much more common. I don't care. Normally, I don't

778
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 2: do it. I did have on a KSR shirt, which

779
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: is like my halfway ground right because it says Kentucky

780
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: Sports right now. Yeah, now I had a UK had on,

781
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: which I actually didn't mean to do. I kind of

782
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: didn't rise I had it on. But whatever, point being,

783
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: it's not that big deal. It's certainly not worth a

784
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: pipe one, okay. But I saw that, and then I like,

785
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: apparently maybe he saw Jack Pilgrim or something, and so

786
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 2: I felt like I had to, you know, you got

787
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: to take up for your people. Yeah, so I just

788
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: uh so, first I responded Piper down, which I liked,

789
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: but then I remember the voice from White Lotus Piper now,

790
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: so I sent the gift of pipe or no from

791
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: White Lotus, and then it just became I mean, I'm

792
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: not gonna say, poor guy. He put it out there,

793
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: but I looked up he had five hundred responses. Oh

794
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: my goodness, all people send in their own pipe off,

795
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: and it just I don't think it went well for

796
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: him for the rest of the day.

797
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: No, I think I was looking at his other tweets.

798
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 5: They have like ten twenty thousand views. That would have

799
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 5: like seven hundred thousand views. He was probably talking about

800
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 5: Jack's Jack had a sweatshirt on, but I was near

801
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: him and I had the brightest blue shirt I own

802
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 5: and the UK had on. And I'm sorry when I

803
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 5: got dressed in the morning, I forgot to consider Derek's

804
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 5: feelings before I put on my outfit. But I think

805
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 5: it's crazy. If he only knew how much money I

806
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 5: had on.

807
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: The game, he'd be really upset.

808
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: A journalist, Yeah, I mean, look here, I've always had

809
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 2: this belief going back to when I started. Everybody has

810
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: their own personal views, right. I'm a fan of just

811
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: say it right. I could sit there and act like

812
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't like Kentucky, but that's stupid because I do,

813
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come across. I feel this way about everything,

814
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: like just be honest about who you are, and then

815
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 2: people can make the determination whether they want to believe

816
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: you or not. Right, Like, I'm not gonna believe a

817
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: word Sean handed, he says, because I know what he is,

818
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: but at least he says it. I think it'd be

819
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: worse to act like you didn't and then do the

820
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: same thing. Right, So I have no problem with Kentucky

821
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: media wanting Kentucky to win. If Piper Knew is honest,

822
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: he's gonna get more subscriptions if Illinois wins, so he

823
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: wants them to win too.

824
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 7: I have to admit I saw that tweet and I

825
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 7: immediately looked at my left and gus he was wearing

826
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 7: Kentucky gear, Ryan Lemon.

827
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: I've always wondered where is this rule written? What he

828
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: said media can't wear their school colors? Why where is

829
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 4: it written?

830
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: Belief for a long time that you had to act

831
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: like you didn't care who won. But that's always been nonsense, Yes, right,

832
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: that's always been nonsense, And so I'm just so when

833
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: I A big reason for KSR success was I was

834
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: open in Kentucky. I wanted Kentucky to win. But the

835
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: thing is, I don't know if Jerry Tipton wanted Kentucky

836
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: to win, but the Harald Leader wanted Kentucky to win.

837
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: They sell more papers. Sure Kentucky wins.

838
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: Tom Leach did't what Kentucky.

839
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: Tom Lench, of course wants Kentucky win. Kentucky. Like, let's

840
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: just be honest. Bill Simmons is, in my opinion, the

841
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 2: one who changed this. Bill Simmons came around and said

842
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: I want the Boston teams to win, and then all

843
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: the sudden it became well, I kind of want my

844
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: team to win. Yeah, I kind of want And as

845
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: long as you know who that team is, person's team is,

846
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: then you can judge whether they're fair or not. So

847
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 2: Piper bomb like, it was not much of a bomb

848
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: to me, except poor guy he got a lot. And

849
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: then I kept thinking I was gonna run into him

850
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: and how he was gonna be and I was just

851
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 2: gonna go.

852
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: Did any of the media run into him?

853
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we had a picture there, but

854
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure. But I just wanted to go piper name.

855
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 5: I had an Illinois fan tweet me and they're like

856
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 5: typical UK journalism school. You could drop me in UK's

857
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 5: campus right now. I wouldn't know what direction to walk

858
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 5: we find the journalism school.

859
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: I don't know where it is.

860
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: Here's a named.

861
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: Probably four of the six most followed people UH in

862
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: UK broadcasting are sitting on this couch and none of

863
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: us went to journalism school.

864
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 6: It's true.

865
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: It's true.

866
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 2: You may have even you may have taken a journalism class.

867
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 4: I was a mass communications major at Kentucky Westley In College.

868
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 4: That put me on the path where I am today.

869
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 6: That's the closest You're the closest.

870
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: Dinosaurs and disasters, not journalism classes.

871

873
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to cheer on press. They say that I.

874
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 6: Haven't written unwritten rule. Don't worry about what another grown

875
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 6: man's wearing.

876
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: What's wrong with friendship? Romance Love?

877
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 8: Is it?

878
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 3: That was the name of the class? Friendship Romance Love?

879
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 6: Is that A three?

880

884
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 9: Hey man, I just got two quick things. First, I

885
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 9: really hope we don't have to play anymore of visitches

886
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 9: those two brothers against us uh. And the second thing is,

887
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 9: I just want to say I kind of teared up

888
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 9: when I saw that video of you and Pope hugging.

889
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 9: I know, these last couple of years with the previous staff,

890
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 9: it's been a bit rough on you guys, and I've

891
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 9: been listening to you all for years. I love this show.

892
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 9: It's a part of my daily routine. And like I said,

893
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 9: I know you've been through a lot, and I'm sure

894
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 9: there's even more you haven't gone into detail with, so

895
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 9: just and the coach embrace you. It was great to see.

896
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 9: So I'm really glad you got to have that moment

897
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 9: last night.

898
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: Oll. Thank you man. I mean I I it was

899
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: a great moment for me. It's you know, it was

900
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: more it was more symbolic to me. I mean, I

901
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: know my relationship with Pope was positive, but it was

902
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: you know, what made the last couple of years. Hard

903
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: was the way that the tension between the staff and

904
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: us affected the way the fans looked at us, and

905
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: it was the way it was really the reaction we

906
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: got from the fans because of it, and you know,

907
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: to that moment last night, to me is the culmination

908
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: of a year that really began at the press conference

909
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: when you started to see, you know, the haters are

910
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: a minority. But yeah, that was really neat and I

911
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: think Mark appreciates I told this story. You know, when

912
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 2: I met Mark the first time, I said to him,

913
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, Mark, I really thought about not doing this anymore,

914
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 2: and I don't. I guess he didn't understand me because

915
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: he thought I was saying I still was that was

916
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: thinking about not doing it, and he was like, you

917
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: got to keep doing it. He was like, you're important

918
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: to this, you are my connection to the fans. You've

919
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: got to keep doing it. It's gonna be worth and

920
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 2: he was like trying to taught me in to keep going.

921
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: And I wanted to be like, at this point, I've

922
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: already decided to stay. We're good. But it was like

923
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: he really thought there was an important role for the

924
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 2: media in this that it was a connection to fans.

925
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: I mean he took a picture with all the media. Yeah.

926
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: I mean we didn't get invioted, but he took a

927
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 2: picture with everyone else. Yeah yeah. But seriously, like I said,

928
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: this towards the end of cal when everything is connected,

929
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: this place rolls the best. When the staff, the boosters,

930
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: the administration, the media are all on the same side.

931
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 2: You get nights like you got last night. Amen, and

932
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 2: that's good to see. We'll take a break, come back.

933
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: I remember two Scar
