Speaker 3: Yesterday I went to Red's opening day, and right before

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: uh I got out of the car to go to

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: the game, I did one of my little back things again.

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 4: Oh no, stumbling.

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Around, uh in a little bit of pain, trying to

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: figure out can I get myself to Indianapolis today? Because

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: I want to go and I want to do the

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: pregame show, but then I also have to leave for

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: Europe next week and that so I'm not exactly sure

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: what to do.

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: It's the best timing for you.

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: The tournament is not coming a good time for me

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 3: to time. Maybe they could move it next year.

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: To May, uh Drew, I'd crawl naked on broken glass

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 5: to get this game, and I don't do.

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: That to me. I just throwing.

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: I heard that.

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: You see you saw me stumbling in here today? He's

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: he's over here going. I'd crawl through broken glass.

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: Walking like an old man today. How did you get

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: to your seat in the stadium yesterday? Then?

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: Not easy? Not easy? And that was uh, you know,

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: but you're already there when yeah you leave? So uh

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: so I was there the sitting is fine. It's the

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: walk walking, the walking that's a little bit of a

48
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: hard part. But well, you know, we'll see. I'm not

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna decide by the end of the show. So

50
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: I like my parents waiting. That's true, you all waiting.

51
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: We've got to figure out what we're gonna do, and

52
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: I want to do it. I'm worried about the hour

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: at ten roof. I'm not really worried about the drive.

54
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm not even really worried about the game. I'm like

55
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 3: worried about that out, like the hour at ten roof.

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: What are the shots they give athletes to get them

57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 5: through a game?

58
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it load you up for Andrew Andrew Carr

59
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: got that as it is. Maybe I need to get

60
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: the Andrew Carr treatment to uh to get through.

61
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure if they're a ten roof any we can

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: find you a big chair and just PLoP you on

63
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: the stage in a big, old comfy chair.

64
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: Well, well, we'll figure it out for the nights over eight.

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: I'm nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven text machine

66
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

67
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: So I was up late last night, as I'm sure

68
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: many of you all were watching the Sweet sixteen. Alabama

69
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: justed b yu scored, made more threes than any team

70
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 3: in history, three more than Loyola Marymount. Yeah, and beating

71
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: BYU scored it. I mean just an absolute blitz. Duke

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: kind of blitzed in their game Florida one by twenty.

73
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: So it was like, oh no, another night of routes.

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: And then Cal did Col. And when Col did Cal,

75
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: Arkansas blew it at twelve thirty at night. Did you

76
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: stay up to watch it?

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: Oh no, No, I went to bed at halftime when

78
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: Arkansas was up thirteen, but still well it was maybe

79
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: being seven and a half. Still the easiest bet of

80
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: the night for me was Texas Tech at money line

81
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: at halftime. You knew that you knew he was gonna

82
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 4: blowl it. You knew it was washed rints repeat with Cal.

83
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: You knew what was coming.

84
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: I wish i'd bet it.

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: I did. I bet a whole five dollars on Texas

86
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: Tech money line?

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: How much did that pay?

88
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: Ten dollars and something nice?

89
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I bet I was gonna bet him. Well,

90
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: I did bet him to win. I had quite a

91
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: bit on Arkansas. It's like the emotional head yeah. And

92
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: then at the end, I mean it was it was

93
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: honestly all of Cali Perry like summed up. I mean

94
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: it was he literally it was like the Eagles playing

95
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: Rupperena with the greatest hits. I mean he he deflated

96
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: the ball up for there They're thirteen with four and

97
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: a half minutes to go. He starts holding for one shot.

98
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: They miss free throws, right, they don't foul up three.

99
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: Now I know there were like nine seconds to go,

100
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: ten seconds, I probably would still foul, but he wasn't

101
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: gonna foul if it was a two seconds like, that's

102
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: just not what he does. Then he goes to overtime.

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: Overtime was very well played. I mean both teams were

104
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: making plays like they were. And then at the end

105
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: Arkansas misses, Texas Tech gets a little jumper and then

106
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: seven point five seconds does not call time out. DJ Wagner,

107
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean John L. Davis had been playing great, right,

108
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: the brazil guy had been playing well, and DJ Wagner

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: is up taken a long two and they miss, no

110
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: timeout used. I mean it was the greatest hits, Drew.

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: It was like everything we used to complain about in

112
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: a nutshell and.

113
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 5: We thought, you know, Cal had gotten over the hump

114
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: and maybe put some narratives to bed. But he found

115
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: a way to dig up all his demons and package

116
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: them into one game. And it was so predictable. I'm

117
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: in all these group texts and we're on the message

118
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 5: board and everyone is saying, well, he still hasn't gone

119
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 5: stallball yet, so this game's not over. When everyone watching

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 5: at home knows your flaws and knows what's coming, that

121
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 5: says a lot about your coaching. But the not letting

122
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 5: John L. Davis he had articulation or ot DJ. Both

123
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: times he is gonna ride and die with DJ. He's

124
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: shown that two years now and both times it's head

125
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 5: and work.

126
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: He had thirty points and he didn't get into the

127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: ball either time, and like didn't call time out.

128
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: So it's never sitting around just watching DJ dribble. No

129
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: one was moving, no one was setting a screen, no

130
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: one was cutting.

131
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: And after the game, did you see his comment, Well,

132
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: I probably should have used the time out, but I

133
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: don't like to call time out in that situation. It

134
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: was like the manifestation of stubbornness that we always see.

135
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: The Yeah, this is what I ought to do but

136
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: I don't do that.

137
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: We all knew it was coming. Everybody was a big

138
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Kinakogie fan last Coop Yars. We knew what was coming.

139
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 4: So as I was catching up this morning when I

140
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: woke up to the game, I saw some video the

141
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 4: cameras captured Cal's face at one point late during the collapse.

142
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: He just like a deer in headlights. He We've all

143
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: seen that look that he gets there late in the game.

144
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: We can't make the decision.

145
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, you're seeing four and a half minutes

146
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: to go right there, sixty nine fifty six, and then

147
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 3: they then they and they come and uh and they

148
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: were up six with a minute to go and still

149
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: ended up losing. You know, listen, I you don't want

150
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: to sort of wallow in the misery of others, but

151
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: I have to tell you there was a part of

152
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: me last night, part of the reason I bat on

153
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: our because I was, hey, I thought they could win,

154
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: but b I also thought, you know, it's gonna it's

155
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: gonna stink again, not for our fan base, but for

156
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: people telling us stuff if this happens. And it's almost

157
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: like you did get some vindication last night of this

158
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: is what we had like you get excited, the Arkansas

159
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 3: fans get excited, and then they have a game that

160
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: they should have won, and then they don't. And so

161
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: now with Arkansas and BYU losing, You know, I don't

162
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: think there should have been pressure on Pope because of that,

163
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: But if there was, Drew that now is alleviate.

164
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: And just looking at the calendar, he is officially in

165
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: the tournament, longer than by even Arkansas happened.

166
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: There's only there's only what twelve teams left. We're in

167
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: the top twelve.

168
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 5: I still believe that all three one out in the end,

169
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: with them all making the second weekend, and hopefully Pope

170
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 5: doesn't feel any pressure. But it would be a nice

171
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: little statement for Pope to even go further than the

172
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: other two teams. So I think it was best for everyone,

173
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 5: even though it's.

174
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: Certainly better for everyone. I mean, I think it was

175
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: you know, look that he's he in some ways. You

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: even got the year that was Cali Perry. Often preseason

177
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: hype stink at the beginning of the year, wait for March,

178
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: get some belief at the end. Have your heart ripped

179
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: out in March.

180
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 5: Random injuries with statements that don't make sense, Yeah, you.

181
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: Don't know who's gonna play, who's not gonna play. Haven't

182
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: seen him? You know that? And then you wrong guy

183
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: taking a shot at the end of the game. And

184
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: what was the game? Didn't we run a game where

185
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: we maybe it was last year where or two years

186
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: ago where the final play was a lob to a

187
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: do or whatever, and he didn't care like things like that.

188
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 3: You saw last night.

189
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: And a dude played last night. He had everybody healthy

190
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 4: to play last night. I don't want to see what

191
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: seth Greenberg's How are you gonna defend this one? I

192
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: mean it was a total again coaching malpractice. What happened?

193
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: He believe you went to sleep? You miss that. We

194
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: got a long day today. I needed to get my

195
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: beauty rest.

196
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 3: Where you're dressed up for it? You look nice? Uh?

197
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: Then I mean earlier in the day I went to

198
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: the Reds. You know, I'm not I'm not gonna go

199
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: into a lot of details.

200
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: They can how'd that game go? You can shut up.

201
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Like they led the whole game. They bring the ninth

202
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: and you know, you know my thing every year I

203
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: to play, Yes, you do, go back to Jumbo Diaz

204
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: quacking Worth or whatever. His name was quacking back. It's

205
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: no doubt now Ian Jibbou because as soon as they

206
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: brought him in, like his uniform doesn't fit, you know,

207
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: he's number seventy one, come on. And as soon as

208
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 3: he came in, I was.

209
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: Like, we're losing seventy one. That's his era.

210
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: He's out there, he just throws meat balls and we

211
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: go from three to two up to down six to three,

212
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: and I you know, and we end up losing the game.

213
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: And so ian Jibou is now, I mean he was

214
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: the we have a new manager already ready to fire

215
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: him because it was his first game, and he puts

216
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: the worst picture out there to close, He's the worst

217
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: picture on the roster. And so anyway, we lost, and

218
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: and you know, I was in back pain sitting there

219
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 3: up in the bleachers watching hus lose. It was just

220
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: not a good exp was it?

221
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 5: Was it at least fun before the ninth inning milk down?

222
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I mean Opening day in Cincinnati, I highly reckon.

223
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot going on now. You gotta

224
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: be ready, you got to be on your toes. I

225
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: saw a dude just getting knocked out, just knocked out

226
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: on the street Hubby just looks at me and goes,

227
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: I think those two people were about to fight. And

228
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: I turned over and as I turned over, the guy

229
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: was just falling. Wow. And then the other dude just

230
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: walked off, and I was like, it is somebody gonna

231
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: you know, are we gonna act like this happened? So

232
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: I walked Hubby's hubby and I walk over there and

233
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: we're like, hey, man, all right, and then this woman's

234
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: like this woman takes his phone, holds it up to

235
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: his face to like do the face thing, and calls

236
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: his friend and just goes, your friend just got knocked out,

237
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: which a weird thing to say to somebody on the phone, right,

238
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: And I wanted I wondered if the friend was like, well,

239
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: what do you want me to do? So then they

240
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: called the hot and then he got he woke up

241
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: and it was okay, woke up. But it was just

242
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: a very strange, like, you know, the whole day was

243
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 3: kind of strange.

244
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: What it is, It's like a national holiday up in Cincinnati.

245
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: Whe everybody takes the day off. They have to pray.

246
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: Even we're on right now, I can't. Okay, yes it is,

247
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: but it is kind of strange. David, we're on right now.

248
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: But it's got a nice hat on though.

249
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: That is a nice hat. That's true, But it was.

250
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: It was a fun day and it just ended up poorly. Sometime.

251
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: I think I've been to Red's opening day. I think

252
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 4: two times when I was working at Channel eighteen. It's

253
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: just like I said, it's a celebration. Schools are closed,

254
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 4: people take off work, have a braid to be get

255
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: knocked down, lose blow lead the night. I mean, it's

256
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: just typical Red celebration.

257
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: So Kentucky and Tennessee tonight in Indianapolis. I also, can

258
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: I tell you one more mistake I made. I realized

259
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: yesterday I bought my parents tickets, very excited.

260
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: Oh no, got them pretty good seats on the Tennessee section.

261
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: Bought it for Sunday.

262
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 5: No, No, that's confidence, though, look at you.

263
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: You read taking ahead.

264
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. So my mom this morning, very nicely, this morning goes.

265
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: We have a little bit of a problem. She's like,

266
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: I got the tickets. I think they are for Sunday.

267
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: And I said, no, you just don't know how to

268
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: read them. No, there for Sunday. So we're gonna now

269
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to search for another pair. So you know,

270
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say the mojo is great going into

271
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: tonight's game, but I still feel oddly, I feel a

272
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: little confident.

273
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: Do you say it's good? You figure that out now?

274
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: Before they got to the game, they got to the

275
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: gate and they said, let's just let's just recap your

276
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: last twenty four hours. Red's blow leading the ninth, you

277
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: buy the wrong tickets for your mom and dad, and

278
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: you've hurt your back.

279
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: But Arkansas laws, but Arkansas laws. That's that I think,

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: is that that might be the change. That's okay. Uh,

281
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: But I do feel good about tonight.

282
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 5: I feel good too. My nerves will kick in once

283
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 5: I get to Indy and see Lucas Oil because we

284
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 5: haven't been back since twenty fifteen Wisconsin game in that building.

285
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 5: But right now, I'm feeling good. I had my my

286
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: weeda bix on the dryover. It's all still in my teeth.

287
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: I regret that although a mari hit a littlelike on

288
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 5: social media, so Mario's going around watching people eat weedy

289
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: bis this morning. But no, I'm I'm very excited. You

290
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: can't wait to get up there.

291
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: How do you feel?

292
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: Actually, I feel a little relieved though that I do

293
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: know it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but

294
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: the fact that Arkansas lost and b why you lost,

295
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 4: I feel a little relieve. Maybe it's just for Mark

296
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: that he now he can play with house money and

297
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: go out and try to beat a team that's really,

298
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 4: I think, really good. I'm still not there yet. I

299
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a really tight game, but I'm

300
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: not fully convinced they're gonna win.

301
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: Shandon, are you are you hopeful? I know, Mario, I'm gonna.

302
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: Think I'm hopeful.

303
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 2: I mean, don't ask me to put money on it,

304
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think Kentucky wins tonight.

305
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: You know, I think we have as good a matchup

306
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: as we can have. I mean I objectively. I try

307
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: to think about this as what if the other team

308
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: didn't have that jersey on?

309
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

310
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: Right, So let's say we were playing Tennessee, we had

311
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: not played them two times earlier this year, and it's

312
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: said Texas tech on it. I would go, we can

313
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: win this. Sure, we're just as good as they are

314
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: that we actually match up with them. So I think

315
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: that to the extent that we feel any anxiety, it's

316
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: because it's Tennessee, and it's because we beat them twice

317
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: earlier this year. So I'm trying to put that out

318
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: of my mind to say, if it's just Jersey versus

319
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: Jersey without the name on it, I'm gonna feel pretty

320
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: decent about the game.

321
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 4: I love that theory. Now, that's gonna help me, because

322
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: you're right, it's just the fact that Tennessee's on that

323
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: jersey makes me a little more anxious about the game.

324
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: Even if it's said Old miss and we'd beaten them

325
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: twice and we wouldn't feel that way. It's just because

326
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: it's Tennessee and so rationally I need to not do that.

327
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, if we're all being honest, a lot of the

328
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: anxiety is that their fans are insufferable, especially online, and

329
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 5: we'll have to hear about it for the next year.

330
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 5: Probably if you were to lose for any other game,

331
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: you wouldn't really hear after the fact. So it's mostly

332
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 5: just the fan base rival because the matchup. Why wouldn't

333
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: you want to play a team you've already beaten twice

334
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: shorthanded in one of them on their own floor.

335
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we didn't have uh, we didn't have

336
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler, and we Andrew Carr was like barely playing

337
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: the first time, and then the second time we didn't

338
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: have Jackson Robinson, which we don't have now, and Lamont

339
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: Butler was hobbled. So I mean, you know, why not

340
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: say that we we have a chance.

341
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this is the game though Mary can't

342
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: miss a bunch of two footers and layups. I mean,

343
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: he's gonna get a lot of opportunities. I think, though,

344
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 4: I think he's got to hit it.

345
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: That's our best matchup. Yes, him is him, because Igor's

346
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: good offensively, but he can't guard Amar. If I've nine

347
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, tax Machine is

348
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

349
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a break and be right back. It's

350
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: Kentucky Sports Radio.

351
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 4: Welcome back.

352
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. If I've nine two eight

353
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine is seven seven

354
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: two seven seven four five two five four getting ready,

355
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: cats and balls in India. One person, rightes Matt. I

356
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: was watching the game last night. I'm not proud to

357
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: say it, but I was rooting hard for Texas Tech,

358
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: Like as hard as I've ever rooted for a non

359
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: Kentucky team. Is that bad of me? What do you think?

360
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: Is it bad of you? Two? Is it bad? This

361
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: kid says no way, so does Heed? Is it bad

362
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: of us? I will admit I was wishing a lot

363
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: that the Red Raiders would win. Is that bad?

364
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: I think it was any other SEC team, I'd probably

365
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: pulling for him, but I just could not pull for

366
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: Arkansas in that situation last clearly.

367
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: But is it bad to have those feelings about the.

368
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: No, that's that's our old coach sitting there, our whole

369
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: coaching staff sitting right there. No, I don't want I

370
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 4: wanted them to lose. I wish him the best. Nope, Okay, I.

371
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Knew cheering for like Wagner and a Vsach and as.

372
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: I found myself pulling for some of the kids.

373
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I like to see a Vsitch and a

374
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: do and Wagner play well. But I mean also, it

375
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: would have been really nice for DJ Wagner as a

376
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: person if he hit that shot and I wanted him

377
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: to miss it. I mean, if I'm being honest, didn't

378
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: you Yeah?

379
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: Oh? I was doing the Red Raider finger guns all night,

380
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: So I was absolutely for Texas tech. I will say

381
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: after DJ missed, I wanted him to miss I did

382
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 5: feel bad when he just folded in his hands, But

383
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 5: I feel bad for about.

384
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: Any kids that like I do too.

385
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 5: I'm not anti DJ Wagner. I'm just anti Arkansas winning

386
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: that game.

387
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: When people when any kid feels the weight of I

388
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: lost this game, which he didn't. DJ Wagner played. DJ

389
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: Wagner made an amazing play before that to tie the game.

390
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: He hit like an up and under. That was an

391
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 3: amazing play, so he shouldn't feel that way. But when

392
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: kids do, I'm with you like that. I can't help

393
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 3: but feel bad for him.

394
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: And yeah, if only someone called a time out and

395
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 5: helped him so he didn't have to dribble in place

396
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 5: for seven seconds while his four teammates stared at him

397
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 5: without moving.

398
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: How can you not call a timeout? I mean, I

399
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: just don't understand. How can you not never have I

400
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 4: know it, I just don't understand it.

401
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: He's got a storage unit full of time out somewhere

402
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 5: that he takes.

403
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 4: But that was one.

404
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 3: They weren't doing anything like it's one. This goes back

405
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: to my overall point with him, which is when you

406
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: have John Waller Deer and Fox right there. Let him

407
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: go okay, But for better or worse, DJ Wagner's not

408
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: those guys, right, so you might need to run something.

409
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm Mark Pope, if we had the

410
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: exact same situation, I don't think are our dudes maybe,

411
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: oh what I would, But I wouldn't want any of

412
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: our other guys doing that. I'd want to have a

413
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 3: time out to set something up.

414
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 5: Even if you trust him, it was obvious he was

415
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: just dribbling in place, no one was moving. Cal still

416
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: had plenty of time to call one and fix that.

417
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 3: Everyone watching him long too, like you either want to

418
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: shoot a three and win the game or take it

419
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: to the basket. And he shoots a long two. I mean,

420
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: it's like it is the greatest hits.

421
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 5: Did he even get it off in time? I don't

422
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: think he recounted if he had made it, it was cool.

423
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know about that all right tonight. Who's our

424
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 3: most important play? We already talked about it. I think

425
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: a mari is. I think that's the matchup we have

426
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: advantage in. He just can't miss a lot of two footers.

427
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: He can he can dominate, He can beat a different

428
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: yesterday that sometimes he is trying to h avoid like

429
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 3: you know, he does the layup because he feels like

430
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 3: if he tries to dunk he might get blocked or whatever.

431
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: I say, try to dunk on these people's faces.

432
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: He's built like Hercules Atlas, go up and dunk it in

433
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 4: somebody's face, Hercules and Atlas. Yes, the guy's a man.

434
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: He's a man's man.

435
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 5: I'll go with Lamont Butler as my MVP running the

436
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 5: show in Garden Ziegler. However, I think Kentucky's gotta have

437
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: three point shooting and both wins against Tennessee. They shot

438
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 5: fifty percent while Tennessee shot like sixteen percent. It'd be

439
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: big ass fast those seems to do that. But if

440
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 5: they're anywhere close to If Kentucky shoots their average and

441
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 5: holds Tennessee, I think they'll be fine. But you gotta

442
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 5: knocked down shots, aren't.

443
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: We like undefeated? When Braham makes four something like that, Yeah,

444
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: I mean that went three for three against I mean

445
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: that's for me, like Breya, like a lot of it

446
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: is gonna be. Can we hit threes? Because I think

447
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: unlike against Alabama and some of these teams, we don't

448
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: have to score eighty five to win. You can win.

449
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: I think we won in Knoxville like seventy three, sixty

450
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: four or something like that. You can win like this.

451
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: But even with that, I think you gotta hit threes.

452
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 5: If you get to the mid to high seventies, you

453
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: gotta be feeling good. I believe it was seventy five

454
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 5: points in Knoxville, seventy eight and up, and you won

455
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 5: both kind of convincingly. Tennessee. They just they're one of

456
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 5: the best defensive teams in the country, but they're not

457
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 5: a team that's gonna go get in the eighties and

458
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 5: really light up scoreboards. If you can get close to

459
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: that number, I think you'll be okay.

460
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: Eight five, nine, eight, twenty two eighty seven. I want

461
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: to hear your alls thoughts on the game. Before we

462
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 3: do that, Let's talk just a second about the portal.

463
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: In his open Mark Pope did an interview in which

464
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: he said, I thought it was interesting. He said that

465
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: in game prep he was honest. He was like, look,

466
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: we're spending every afternoon and night on game prep, but

467
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 3: we're having to spend the morning, uh, recruiting the portal.

468
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: You know, it is what it is. He has to

469
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: do it. There was some good vibes coming out yesterday.

470
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: Uh there's some seems like conflicting info. But Jacob says

471
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 3: he hears Kentucky might be the leader for that Donovan

472
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: Dent at New Mexico, the kid from Georgia who averaged

473
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 3: thirteen game. What's his name? I think he played well

474
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: against us. Whatever. That kid's name is, the player Painley.

475
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: He enters the portal and Kentucky's interested in him. There's

476
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 3: also a kid from Davidson that has entered the portal,

477
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: a big guy that I think Kentucky is probably interested

478
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: if they don't get the Robert Morris kid. There's a

479
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 3: lot of people, and who knows who will end up getting.

480
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: But here's one of the things that I do think

481
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: is positive. It seems like Kentucky has the money to

482
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: get guys and has a lot of interest from these

483
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: top top guys, which remember last year we got a

484
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: lot of dudes, but they were like a notch below

485
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: the top. Looks like the top guys are all interest.

486
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: That was good to hear you say that yesterday, that

487
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 4: there was even money left over from last year they

488
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: can use even this year to gohead and get some

489
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: guys because now they've got you know, going into the

490
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: transfer portal season there, they're head strong. They're not just

491
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 4: putting together a roster. They can dedicate everything to look

492
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: on what they're doing.

493
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: So and they has like seven guys. You know, last

494
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: year you're starting from scratch. Yeah, this year you're gonna

495
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: have like seven dudes that you're gonna probably I mean,

496
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: when's the last time you think Kentucky's had this many

497
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: guys coming back? I mean we, I mean we have

498
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: I would assume four to five guys coming back and

499
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: then three freshmen. I can't when's the last time we

500
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: had four or five guys coming back?

501
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 4: Well that you're the twins Willie and Alex, that's probably it.

502
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably guess what that team ended up pretty good?

503
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: Pret dang good.

504
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So uh I think that's I think that's good news.

505
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: We're not used to that here. I mean, we're not

506
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: used to having a core return. Yeah.

507
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 5: And uh with Damp the guy that they're uh real

508
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: close with, now, I didn't think I could have a chance.

509
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 5: And now it sounds like it's Kentucky and UCLA are

510
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 5: head to head and everyone else is backed out all

511
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: surrendering that Kentucky has a lot of money.

512
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: Why would you want to go play for UCLA. That's

513
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: the most boring style, Like Mick Cronin's playing like from

514
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: the sixties, Like if you're a kid, he said. I

515
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 3: saw in an interview he said, I want to get

516
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: up and down the court. Well, you can't go to UCLA.

517
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: There's I mean, there's no team that gets up and

518
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: down the court less than them.

519
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 5: And nobody cares about you in La. You're a small

520
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: small fish in that pond here you're a star?

521
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: Is he from there?

522
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: Though?

523
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 5: I don't think he's from LA exactly. I mean he's

524
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 5: in a West coast kid.

525
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: I got you, Okay, Kentucky two eighty seven, We're gonna

Speaker 3: Tell you I thought about you. Yeah, that's right. Hopefully

Speaker 3: we'll be able to do it. I'm gonna I'm gonna

534
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: decide during the next break, Okay, decide whether or not

535
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: to UH to make the trip up there. I don't

536
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: want to me Like you know, I've said I love

537
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: the atmosphere before the games as much, if not more

538
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 3: than the game, So you know I hate would hate

539
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 3: to miss it.

540
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to get up, walk around like you said,

541
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 4: It doesn't bother when you're sitting here like this.

542
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine right now E if I'm nine two

543
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven

544
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: to two UH seven seven four five two five four

545
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: one person's rights, Matt. It's like when you get UH.

546
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: When you have a breakup and you don't hate your ex,

547
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: you want them to be happy, but only if you're

548
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: happy first. That's how I felt about Cal. I want

549
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: him to be happy, but only if we're happy and

550
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: go far are there first. That's an interesting way to

551
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: look at it. I can see that, like you date somebody,

552
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: you don't want to be miserable, but you want to

553
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: make sure you are as happy, if not more so.

554
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: If the Knights had flipped and we played last night

555
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 4: and lost, I would be praying at Arkansas and b

556
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 4: why you both lose tonight? So the fact that both

557
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: of them have already lost. I think takes a little

558
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: bit of the anxiety away from me.

559
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 5: Well, he already got his winning rup and Seth Greenberg

560
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: called it the best coaching job in Cal's career this year,

561
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 5: so he didn't have to do more. It's already such

562
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: a big success that he's done that. So I didn't

563
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: have a problem rooting against him to not make the

564
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 5: Elite eight.

565
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: That's, by the way, that was nice. It's the best

566
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: coaching job.

567
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 4: So he's gonna say this time.

568
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: I mean, he did a good week, he had a

569
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: good week, But like this year, that team, you saw

570
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: that team on the floor last year, they should have

571
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: been good this year. Yeah, he had a lot of talent.

572
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: They should have been good. They had a bunch of injuries,

573
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: but they still should have been good.

574
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 5: And I'm still of the belief that Hunter Dickerson throwing

575
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: it right to Boogey Flann changed the whole narrative of

576
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: Cal this post. They just don't give up that turnover.

577
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 5: I don't think Arkansas wins in round one.

578
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: Who's up first.

579
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: We'll start with Peyton.

580
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: Peyton, go ahead, Peyton.

581
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, I couldn't agree more about Cal happy to

582
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 6: see him half success, not too much success, but have success.

583
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 6: I wanted to talk about Pope. I follow me here.

584
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 6: So I got a bird feeder in my backyard. And

585
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 6: I'm big on energy and tracking energy and feeling good

586
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 6: vibes and stuff. And every time, every morning, come out

587
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 6: with my coffee and I look at this bird feeder

588
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 6: and the birds are just every time the cats win,

589
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 6: the birds are just eating away, having a good morning.

590
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: Okay, it's hard to beat.

591
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 6: It's hard to beat the team three times. And I

592
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 6: came out this morning and the birds took off, and

593
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 6: it just got me nervous.

594
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 3: And I why do you think the birds? Just a question?

595
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: Why do you think the birds eating in your bird

596
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: feeder is at all indicative of a basketball game? Like

597
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: there are other birds that are probably eating in their birds.

598
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 6: Well, I track it, and the birds don't lie. They

599
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 6: don't are saying to me.

600
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: When you wake up and the birds are eating in

601
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 3: the bird feeder, we win, and when they're not, we lose. Yeah,

602
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: and they did need this morning. Shannon, I like you

603
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: respond to this, This feels.

604
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: Like your guy is out of his mind, Like like,

605
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: are you serious?

606
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: Like is this a real call?

607
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: No?

608
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 6: It doesn't fail. It never failed.

609
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: So you think there's like there's anything, there's like an

610
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: energet energy calm between between the birds and Kentucky basketball. Yeah, okay, yeah.

611
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: By the way, by the way, while you were sitting there,

612
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: I think Mario, you ran that guy. You were trying

613
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: to take a picture and your stomach was on his head,

614
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 3: and no, I think it was I think he was

615
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: sitting there and you were hovering over him to take

616
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: that picture, and I believe you were giving his head

617
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 3: a tummy rub. You had you had some space. Okay,

618
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe it's not the birds, maybe it's

619
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: Mario hovering over the head. But do you think that

620
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: that's possible.

621
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 5: Umm, could be the case that you know, birds are

622
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 5: flying north Indianapolis because they're decided about the Sweet sixteen

623
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 5: when I be there for it.

624
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna look at that angle. I like to

625
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: track it down a little bit. Just for tickets. I

626
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 3: was looking. So they flooded the market with new tickets.

627
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: So there's like, if you go on stub hub, there's

628
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: tickets now. Now they're way way way up, but there's

629
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: tickets for like one hundred and ten dollars. So I mean,

630
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: now that's not cheap, but that's a lot cheaper than

631
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: it was. So I actually think, like, if you're sitting

632
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: there going back and forth, I had two different sets

633
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: of friends decided to go last night. So if you

634
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: if you're sitting there thinking about it, Ryan, maybe now

635
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: you do.

636
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of people like your friends decided, hey,

637
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 4: we're going. We just want to be in the building,

638
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: and they're buying tickets even though they're high up. They

639
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 4: just want to be there and kind of soak it

640
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: all up that we're back in the sweet sixteen.

641
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I don't believe your birds. By the way,

642
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: can I.

643
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: Say something about the birds if you want? You know,

644
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: we are a crazy fan base. We buy weeda bis,

645
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 4: we watch birds. But I'm here for every second of it.

646
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 4: I love it, you love it. I love the dude

647
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: who thinks his birds dictate how UK's gonna play basketball.

648
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous to think your birds dictate it. Now,

649
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: whether or not I'm in the shower does have.

650
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 4: A different It's just as ridiculous.

651
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like that that that is makes a difference.

652
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 3: That is like me rocking back and forth in the

653
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 3: same spot. I mean, I almost drove to Milwaukee this

654
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 3: morning to go to that bank again because we're two

655
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 3: for two with me standing in that bank.

656
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 4: Lob.

657
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: I wore the same shirt both games in Milwaukee. It's

658
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 5: a coat, and I thought about even though it's gonna

659
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: be eighty degrees, like, I guess I'm just gonna have

660
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: to wear my coat Indianapolis. I mean, we all have

661
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 5: our superstitions. What's working, what's working, it's not working.

662
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: And it's working, you shouldn't. You shouldn't get rid of it.

663
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: Who's next? LL cool ta and what's goodness?

664
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: Ll cool Tay?

665
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: How are you? Hey? You doing good?

666
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 7: Matt and Crew? Hey, I want to take you back

667
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 7: off of what he said about energy. I think some

668
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 7: one of the players that really to bring the fire

669
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 7: and I feel like we haven't seen in those years

670
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 7: is Brandon Garrison.

671
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, Brandon played really well in the game

672
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: against Troy. I believe the thing about Brandon Garrison with energy,

673
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call is that the energy can be

674
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: positive or negative, right, I mean like sometimes when he

675
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: has a lot of energy, he tries to do too much.

676
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: You know, he led that Troy game off. I think

677
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: he took two threes in like the first forty seconds

678
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: he was in the game. But I do think, you know,

679
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: he has an athleticism, he can switch off their things.

680
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: He can do that can make him very dangerous.

681
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was great in the Troy game, but do

682
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: he have like thirteen points off the bench had a

683
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 5: few moments in the in the Illinois game. I think

684
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 5: of the and one after Butler had that great steal.

685
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 5: But the thing with Garrison and when he gets too energetic,

686
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 5: he might just walk over the other bench and put

687
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 5: his finger in somebody's face and start talking trash. So

688
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 5: you he's a bit of a wild card. You don't

689
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: know how he's going to react, but I think he

690
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: will need to be an important piece tonight.

691
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: He's gonna get a lot of minutes. Like I said,

692
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: those two guys, that position is really crucial. The one

693
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: thing I like a about what he does when he

694
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: and the college kind of right when he comes in.

695
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: He does bring some energy, you know, and sometimes I

696
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: think they can help pick up the pace a little

697
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: bit when he comes on, and he's probably the one

698
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: GalF the bench that does that the best for us.

699
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: It seemed to me against Illinois, that that Pope shortened

700
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: his bitch, right, that Pope decided to play fewer and

701
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: fewer people, and kind of do you expect that? Yes,

702
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: we only had two guys on the bench get double

703
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: digit minutes last game. Uh do you got do you

704
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: expect that?

705
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Travis Perry, you know, didn't play at all. Alman

706
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: Or played limited minutes. He basically just went with seven

707
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: Garrison and Colin Channler. Channer was the first guy off

708
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: the bench. I think he'll probably do that again.

709
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's my parents.

710
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 4: I just walked. They're blue ready to go to the

711
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: game on Sunday.

712
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: He's got Yes, they have to Sunday team. I mean

713
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: if they have to watch Houston Tennessee, they will. I

714
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: mean they you'll have to go pull for the Cougars

715
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: eight two eighty seven, one person writes Matt. They say

716
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: Donovan Dent could cost three million dollars. Do we think

717
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: Kentucky has three million dollars? Yes? But with all one

718
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: of the things that's gonna be interesting is all of

719
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: these programs have a set amount of money that they

720
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: feel like they can pay. The problem is, you don't

721
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: know do they want to pay three million for Donovan

722
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: Dent or a million each for three other guys. And

723
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer to that question is

724
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: because I don't know what they're overall budget, Like, I

725
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 3: have no idea, for instance, what Oway, Garrison, Noah, like,

726
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what those guys are gonna cost coming back.

727
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: I do know this, I was I was talking to

728
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: somebody on Monday, and they said, priority number one is

729
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: oh way back, that's priority number one. So I don't

730
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: think they're gonna do anything that would make it that

731
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: it could at all jeopardize Oway coming back Drew and

732
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: so we'll see. I don't know what that means.

733
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 5: Though, in three million seems like a high number, But

734
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 5: I trust Mark Pope to not just throw away a

735
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 5: bag at someone that can mess up a locker room

736
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 5: or you run out of money somewhere else. With all

737
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 5: the analytics and preparation and research he does, if he

738
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 5: spends three million on a guy, I'm gonna trust that

739
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: he has other millions, plenty of millions to take care

740
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 5: of the rest of the roster and not go all

741
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: in on one player because that's not his style of coaching.

742
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: But I mean, if he does spend three million. Remember

743
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: this dude right now is ranked as the number one

744
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: guy in the portal. Now, I think there's gonna be

745
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: a couple of people get in that will probably pass him.

746
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's any way this dude does

747
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: not end up as a top five portal player. He's

748
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: your point guard. Like, I mean, he's gonna be He's

749
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: very I mean, he's the Lamont Butler of that. He

750
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: went to the same high school as Lamont Butler. Literally,

751
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: like you want to have a Lamont Butler clone, This

752
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 3: dude went to the exact same high school. So there

753
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: is a I think, a real reason to want to

754
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: get it.

755
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 4: But you're right, a lot of it is budgeting. That's

756
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 4: why you need like a general manager to handle your

757
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: recruiting budget.

758
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 3: Our general manager, like we we don't really have a

759
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 3: general manager in the way that people talk about it.

760
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: We have somebody else who kind of runs the nil

761
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: that does it. Mark Pope is the general man. Mark

762
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: Pope picks the players, and then I think Mark Pope says, Okay,

763
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to business side, you work that out.

764
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: But I think Mark Pope tells them these are who

765
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: we want, now go and get them and then it's

766
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: up to those people to go and do it.

767
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 5: The way I see it is if Pope wants them,

768
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 5: and he's everything that he's ranked in the portal right now,

769
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: the top guard you can go get if he costs

770
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 5: three million, he costs three million.

771
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: It's all relative, like, we don't know what these other people.

772
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: Three million sounds like a lot, but what's everybody? I mean,

773
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: the dude at by Us making seven million next year allegedly,

774
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: but who knows. Like I said, I don't believe any

775
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: of these numbers anyway, I always read these numbers. I

776
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: don't believe any of them. I think they're all inflated.

777
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: I think they're all higher than what they actually are.

778
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: I actually think the amount of money is much smaller

779
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: than people say. Hey, we've had a lot of storms

00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 5: That was fair.

834
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: I didn't think that was fair. North Laurel against Moco.

835
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 4: Who you got? Moco? Like I said, they came in

836
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 4: here in eight yesterday, so I got to continue.

837
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: To North canceled. So normally I would put the thirteenth region,

838
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: but I gotta go with Moco because they canceled. Hon

839
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 3: It's true, and that's bad. That's that's like the birds

840
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: not eating.

841
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: I'm going Moco too, after they let up the scoreboard

842
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 5: in their first round win Shannon, Who you got?

843
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,959
Speaker 2: Montgomery County le and what.

844
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: Might be the state championship tonight? In all honesty, this

845
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 3: is probably the game that has the most likely chance

846
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: to decide the state champion great crossing in Cooper. Tim

847
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: Sullivan fired from his job a month and a half ago.

848
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: One last night. Now they play future cat Malachai Moreno,

849
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: Unfortunately this is during the Kentucky game, or I actually

850
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: think this would be a game I would really recommend

851
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: people to go to. Unfortunately, they're playing during the Kentucky game.

852
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: But who You Got?

853
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 4: It's been a great run for Cooper and Tim Sullivan.

854
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 4: That's a great story, but I think it ends tonight.

855
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 4: Great Crossing just too too much talent on the floor.

856
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 4: Malachi had like what twenty one points, twelve rebounds, six

857
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: blocks last night?

858
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 5: He was he was incredible ron And I saw Malachai

859
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 5: eating an ice cream cone in the concourse. He took

860
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 5: it down to like three bites. I was worried about

861
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 5: how focus he was because he had a game that

862
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 5: three bites. I mean, he demolished it, but then he

863
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 5: played well that night. So I'm going with Malachai get

864
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 5: his ice cream today and Great Crossing winning tonight, future.

865
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: Cat playing as we go to the Elite eight. You

866
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: got to take Malachi and Great Crossing.

867
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: Who you gotch I have never wanted a high school

868
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 2: team to win more than I want Cooper to win

869
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: the entire thing, just to see if they have the

870
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: guts to fire after they went to state title.

871
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: That would be ca let me ask, if he were

872
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 3: to win state, couldn't they still.

873
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 4: Fire couldn't fire him? You can't fire him after he won.

874
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: So he's fighting for his job.

875
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: He's playing say he's playing for his job.

876
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't even know if you fire him now after

877
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: he got you to this sweet sixteen.

878
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: Elite eight lead to the Elite eight. I don't know

879
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: if you Cooper Sham, yes, give me Cooper it is.

880
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: It is an amazing story. So who's the state finals?

881
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: What you think Ashland? Great crossing, Moco, great crossing?

882
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 4: Who you got I'm gonna go great Crossing Ashland.

883
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be great crossing Ashland. That'll be

884
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: a heck of a run for Ashland. Probably didn't see

885
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 3: themselves in that spot.

886
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 5: If it were Cooper, though, he couldn't go back, He

887
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 5: could not give them the satisfaction of him going back.

888
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 5: And but you didn't want me, you know.

889
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: You didn't the only coach in the school's history.

890
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: If you didn't want me at my worst, you don't

891
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: get me at my state champion beck I.

892
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 5: Wouldn't even let him have the trophy. I'd walk straight

893
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 5: off the road floor then take it home.

894
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 3: You okay?

895
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:37,719

Speaker 8: I'm going to the game tonight, I got my wheat

903
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 8: to bis. I'm gonna hit the road to indian a

904
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 8: couple hours. In Big Blue Nation. We just have to

905
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 8: own that arena tonight. We cannot let those savages in

906
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 8: Orange gain any momentum at all. So be in, make

907
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 8: sure you need your wa to bis. Let's all roll

908
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 8: up to Andy tonight and make Tennessee our wee to bitch.

909
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 6: Let's go cast.

910
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, whoa, hang on a second, you know, h

911
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: Shandon liked that one. He uh. You know, we always

912
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 3: talk about how the crowd in Nashville is an amazing

913
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: crowd for us, much better in some ways than the

914
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 3: rough crowd. Do you think this is.

915
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 4: A Nashville crowd, a rough crowd? Somewhere in between?

916
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: Like it is expensive, but then again, now the SEC

917
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: tournament is expensive too, Like what do you think the

918
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 3: crowd's gonna.

919
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 5: Be leaning a little closer to Nashville crowd? And okay,

920
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: Tennessee helps. The people in there are going to be

921
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 5: absolutely on fire. Probably won't be as drunk as Nashville

922
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 5: because you just got Broadway right there and that late

923
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 5: game led right into it. But I think with the matchup,

924
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 5: people that have paid good money to be there. It's

925
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 5: just different than the home crowd at Rough that sees

926
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 5: a lot of games.

927
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lean with Drew. I don't think it's a

928
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 4: Nashville crowd because somebody, actually, I've got to bring this up.

929
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 4: Spring Break and a lot of high school starts on Monday,

930
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,880

Speaker 4: Is next week?

935
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, maybe that makes some people more likely to go.

936
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 2: They were looking at Lucas Oil Stadium.

937
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, who I mean, that's go to the beach in Indianapolis.

938
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: It's really nice this time of year.

939
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: It's gonna be seventy nine today, Yes, and I.

940
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: Think it's good. I'm with you all. I don't think

941
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Nashville, but I think it's gonna.

942
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: Be like wud uh huh.

943
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: What's gonna be interesting though, is a lot of that

944
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 3: stadium is gonna be empty in the first game because

945
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: of those are the Purdue fans YEP, Likedue is gonna

946
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 3: have a lot of people there and they're not even

947
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 3: gonna be there for the first game, or at least

948
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: some of them. So I think, do you think we

949
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 3: have the most fans? Do you think we have I

950
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: think we'll have more than Tennessee. Do you think we'll

951
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 3: have more than Purdue?

952
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 5: I think so. Just the pope, excitement and fans ready

953
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 5: to I think most people would say that we're already

954
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 5: a little farther ahead than expectations right now going to

955
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: this Tennessee game.

956
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 3: Apparently they released more tickets this morning, so yeah, for

957
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. Now, I think those are probably like

958
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna need but oculars to see from up there.

959
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 3: But they only would do that Ryan if they were

960
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 3: expecting a packed house, like they would not. You know,

961
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: they at these stadiums that are like this, they only

962
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 3: keep releasing tickets if they think people are gonna be

963
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: in them.

964
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: That makes me think, yeah, the tickets they have released,

965
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 4: those are gone. So they just keep releasing a little

966
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more,

967
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 4: trying to cram more people in there.

968
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see. I think Kentucky'll have the most.

969
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: I actually think Purdue will have the second host, and

970
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 3: then I think Indiana after that.

971
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 5: I won't be surprised they have a good turnout their

972
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 5: fan based the travels and we'll spend a little bit

973
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 5: of there.

974
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: Weren't as many of their people here as I thought

975
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 3: in rub like that that remember that game, those tickets

976
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: were going for like six dollars for their game.

977
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 4: Does Houston travel at all?

978
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 3: I think they have, like they got some really rich boosters,

979
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: but I don't think they have.

980
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 4: The amount of people.

981
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 3: They'll have people, but like they're they're very like top it.

982
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 3: They have very rich alumni. But it's not like they

983
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 3: don't they don't travel in mass.

984
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll have a good section behind their bench.

985
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 5: That costs a bunch, but as far as throughout the

986
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 5: arena only plus.

987
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 3: They have the if they they may think if I

988
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 3: go to the final four, it's in San Antonio, right

989
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 3: which is which is two hours away for them and

990
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 3: could end up I mean, now, if Houston made the

991
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 3: Final four, they might have a massive crowd down there

992
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: because of because of that eight five, nine, two, eight

993
