1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local Tony Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: The Cats, for the first time since twenty nineteen, are

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: back in the Sweet sixteen with a huge win here

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee over Illinois eighty four to seventy five. We

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: are here just kind of hanging out in a lobby

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: of one of the hotels. I don't They've asked us

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: not to say where it is because they actually don't

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: want people to come, so they were nice enough to

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: let us be in here. We decided to stick around.

10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave right after the show. What an amazing win.

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to stay because I wanted to go inside

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: and feel the experience of a victory again. It's been

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: a while since we've had it. In March, and we

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: got it. And now the Cats moved to the Sweet

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: sixteen where they will play Tennessee of all teams in Indianapolis,

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: and what will be I think one of the hardest

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: tickets that you will see in basketball. Kentucky, Tennessee, Purdue

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: all in the same region in Indianapolis. It's gonna be

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: a heck of a Friday night. A shout Billy will

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: open up the phones at the end of this segment

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: is that, all right, I'm gonna have Ryan and Shannon

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: are actually getting us food so that we can leave

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: right after. Drew will be here. They'll all be on

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: before this, before this show ends. But what an amazing victory.

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Kentucky really controlled the game from start to finish.

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: Was it was about as good as you could hope

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: for for a performance. They came out early, made buckets

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: and then kind of got a lead that they kept

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: five to eight points throughout the first half, and then

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: after a great run to end this to start the

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: second half, kept essentially an eight to twelve to fourteen

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: point lead throughout the second half. A bunch of stories,

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: but I think the biggest one is Kobe Bray at

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: twenty three points, including three in a row shots that

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that gets Kobe into kind

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: of the legend status. When you're thinking about the sort

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: of moments from the season, I think always lay up

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma and is one in the SEC Tournament, and

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: then I think you're gonna think of this little Kobe

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: brea montage of the three shots back to back to back.

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Huge performance by him. Lamont Butler an absolute beast. I mean,

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: for me, as great as Kobe shot, Lamont Butler's kind

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: of the MVP to come out there, have fourteen points,

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: five assists, play the defense that he played, you know,

45
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's playing with one arm essentially, And you know,

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: listening to Mark Pope talk about him in the postgame

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: press conference where he said, basically, somebody ask him about

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler, and he had a great quote. He said,

49
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: courage is real, but love is too, and he said

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: he is playing for the love of his teammates. And

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: I will tell you I've talked to a lot of

52
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: people around the program. They all say that. Some of

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: them say he probably shouldn't be playing with his injury,

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: but he wants to play. And how can you not

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: how can you not only appreciate that, but love that

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: for his teammates, for the program, For Mark Pope, I mean,

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: just a warrior. These dudes. These dudes are a special

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: group of guys. They become the first team, the first

59
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: team in the history of the NCAA tournament to get

60
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: to the Sweet sixteen having returned zero zero points from

61
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: the year before. Think about that zero and this is

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the first team to ever do it. Maybe it'll happen

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: more often in the transfer portal era. Probably will, but

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: this is the first one. And to see this group

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: of guys, Dudes from Drexel, dudes from Dayton, you know,

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: guys who came off the bench at Oklahoma wake Forest,

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: San Diego State, Fairleigh Dickinson, you know a kid from

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: a two year Mormon mission. Two kids who one year

69
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: ago today were playing in the finals of the Kentucky

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: high school state tournament. Yeah that was one year ago today.

71
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: It's just an awesome story and what a cool thing

72
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: to be a part of. And in that arena tonight,

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Kentucky fans were probably outnumbered three to one in that arena.

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Yet the Illinois fans could just never really get into

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: it because of the way Kentucky played. And even though

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: they only won by nine, I actually think, you know,

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: if they make some layups, I mean, this was a

78
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: double digit game. In my opinion, they did exactly what

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: they needed to do. They limited Illinois star players. Let's see,

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Casparis was sick, was six for thirteen, but he had

81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: a hard time getting shots all five for thirteen, excuse me,

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: especially early in the game. You know, their best player

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: was little z Billy who had five threes. I was

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: just like, first of all, he looks like he looks

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: like the kid Dwight Shrewt's cousin from the office. Dude,

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking about what's his name, the mos dude Mos.

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Don't you think with that little beard he.

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: Looked like most Yeah, I can see it now.

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: I think he looked like Mo's with that little beard.

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't help it. I kept thinking, you know, what's

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: this beat farmer doing out here? Hitting all these threes?

92
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: He really kept them in the game. To be honest

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: with you, Without those threes, it gets a lot worse.

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Will Riley to one for seven. I mean, if you

95
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: tell me before the game, we take two guys who

96
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: may both be first round picks, Case Paris and Will Riley,

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: they combined only for eighteen points, and they made two threes.

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Combined went two for twelve from three point land. That's

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: a heck of a job. And this team, we've talked

100
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: all year that they really weren't that good defensively. I

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: didn't know how much better they could get. They've gotten

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: a lot better. They were one hundred and thirteenth or

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: whatever in Kim Palm and defense. They're up to forty

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: fifth and I thought they played really good defense today,

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: didn't give Illinois a lot easy and they get an

106
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: eighty four to seventy five win. And big picture, this

107
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: is massive for the program, It's massive for Mark Pope.

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: It's also massive for the fans. I mean, there was

109
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people that I was around today, Kentucky

110
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: fans who you know, just kept saying, we really need this,

111
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: we want this. Especially Honestly, even though I said it

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't matter, it does matter to some people that Cal

113
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: won yesterday and then we get to the sweet sixteen.

114
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth noting four new coaches in

115
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: Division one have made it to Sweet sixteen in their

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: first year with their first team, Cal Perry, Dusty May,

117
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Mark Pope, and the guy at BYU. I don't know

118
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: that that's ever happened, that that's happened very often, but

119
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: for Kentucky fans specifically, you know, we're used to winning

120
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: here and there's been a lot of there's been a

121
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of losing. There's been a lot of disappointment since COVID,

122
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and to get that joy back, I hope people all

123
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: over Lexington were going crazy. I hope if somebody was

124
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: at ks Bar for the game. I hope you'll send

125
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: me a video. I finally got my phone working again,

126
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: so now I can actually get them. But you know,

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: nights like this, we've had a lot of them in

128
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, but we haven't had a lot

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: of them in the last five And to get back

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: to it is really really exciting. Ansley Almonor five points,

131
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Trent Noah, a big set of free throws before halftime.

132
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: Just one thing after another, positive stuff. One thing after

133
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: another is a really really cool thing. Ryan Lemon's just

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: walked up. Ryan put on a headset there and joined

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: me for just a second. He's eating rather than come

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: on the show. He's eating food.

137
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: I went and got our food.

138
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that. What'd you think of

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: the win? You were sitting there. I watched it at

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: the Saint Kate Arts.

141
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: Of course you did.

142
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: Kate's once. Brandon Garrison got that and one at the end,

143
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: I walked back and I got it. I literally walked

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: on the court as the game was finishing.

145
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: What did you think, Well, really, you're two and oh

146
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: in that hotel, so you did you know.

147
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: When they play in Indianapolis? Maybe I should just come

148
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: on in. You can go to the Saint Kate Art's hotel.

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: It was one of the few times all season I

150
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: think Kentucky won the game based on their defense.

151
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: I do too. I think they I think Lamon Butler

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: obviously Kobe Bray is shooting, and then their defense.

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. They came out and really stuck

154
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: it to Illinois, kind of really rattled them. The Jasparis

155
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: guy was really rattled and at clothed the Lamont But.

156
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've ever gotten his name right,

157
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: both both in the show Friday, the pregame show today,

158
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: maybe not even now. But he's gonna be a good player.

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: But he, especially early, was rattle.

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: He really was rattling. I think Lamont Butler deserves all

161
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: the credit goes to the bench in foul trouble.

162
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: And about that, I mean, we didn't even mention that

163
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: he only played five minutes in the first half. Yes,

164
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: you tell me, O take only plays five minutes in

165
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: the first half and we're leading at halftime by five,

166
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily believe that.

167
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: I think it's because Kobe Brea stepped up and was

168
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: doing Kobe bra A things. I mean Robbie Abrayh was

169
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: getting off tonight.

170
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: Colin Chandler. Colin Chandler two threes eighteen minutes.

171
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: And one was deep. I mean like in no hesitation.

172
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: He just pulled up and yank.

173
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the I think the second one

174
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: especially was kind of a big moment. It was they

175
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: were making a little bit of a run, and there

176
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: were two or three times that they started to make

177
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: a run and then we made a play. I thought

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: the Chandler three was one the the Butler steal may

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: have been the biggest player. Yes, that the arena was

180
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: starting to get worked up, and the steal to Garrison

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: at the end one that's when I decided to walk.

182
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: I have, just for the record, walked in Torrential Brain

183
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: four different times. I walked from the pregame show to

184
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the game and got drenched. I walked from the game

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: to the Saint Kate Art's Hotel, got drenched, Saint Kate's

186
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: Art Hotel, back to the game drenched, and then game

187
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: to hear drenched. Four different times. I've gotten drenched. But

188
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: even now, like a wet cat.

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: Even though it's a cold, wet rain, you know it

190
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, right, now we're going back to the Sweet sixteen,

191
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: so I think, you know it is kind of a

192
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: dry off. We'll try out. Our socks are a little

193
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: soggy right now, Who cares.

194
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: Let me also just talk for a second about the

195
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: scene after the game. I think sometimes they don't get

196
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: to show as much of this as you would like,

197
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: but I think fans love it. Like I said, decent

198
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Kentucky crowd not what it is normally, but the fans

199
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: of a big chunk of the fans are right behind

200
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: the Kentucky bench. When it's over that Mark Pope and

201
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: I believe Kobe Braya do an interview with CBS. I

202
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: think otega Oway is maybe with Jack, and then maybe

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: Mari or somebody's with like, so three different guys are

204
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: are are doing interviews the play. The players that are

205
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: not those three come greet the fans head to the back.

206
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: When the three guys that are getting their interviews, I

207
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: think it was Butler, Brea and o take it. So

208
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: it's Butler, Brey and otake. It's those three. As they're

209
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: walking off, Mark Pope grabs the three of them and

210
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: the four of them do a huddle. I tried to

211
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: get a picture. I don't know if I got it.

212
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: I'll have to look here and see if I got it.

213
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: I hope you got it.

214
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I did. I got

215
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: it after the huddle, but I didn't get the huddle.

216
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: But it was a really cool moment. It is clear

217
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: he like hugged them, and with the crowd going crazy,

218
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the four of them had their heads together. I don't

219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: know what he was saying to them, but you could

220
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: tell it was like a really kind of special moment

221
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: between the four of those guys. Then he walks all.

222
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: They walk off. The players, you know, say hi to

223
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: the fans. Pope, you gotta remember there's another game starting,

224
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: oh miss, and iway stay here coming And the people

225
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: are right on the court, and it's clear Pope does

226
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: not want to leave. So Pope is standing at the bench.

227
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: He's waving at the players, he's waving at the fans.

228
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: He wants to go up there, but like the old

229
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: misstaff is coming to replace him, and you can tell

230
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Mark's like, I don't want to leave. I don't want

231
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: to leave. Then he walks off, and I just found

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: myself standing there and he gave me. I actually just

233
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: wanted to shake his hand and say congrats, and he

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: gave me a hug. And I have to tell you, Ryan,

235
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm still you know, Piper goober face from Illinois can

236
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: shut up. I don't care if I'm a media member.

237
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm still fan at heart. And that was a neat moment.

238
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I want to thank Dylan Ballard who got a picture

239
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: of it. Mario got video. I'll cherish that for all time.

240
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: You know, I think not only did we need this

241
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: as a fan base, Mark Pope needed this because look

242
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: on the other side of the bracket, there's Byu, his

243
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: old school, there's John Caliperry r old coach. And I

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: think Mark Pope needed this, and I think he realizes

245
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: the moment that he's just got going to the sweet

246
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: sixteen in his first year's.

247
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: Going to sweet sixteen for his first year's coach. He

248
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: doubled Seth Greenberg's total career NCAA tournament wins one Mark

249
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Pope now has two. And yes, Mark Pope can hug

250
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: people in the stands and win, and that's what and

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: and that's what he can do. And just just a

252
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: cool moment, Just an absolutely cool moment, you know, Tennessee

253
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be tough. I think it's gonna be hard

254
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: to win that game for a third time. Uh in

255
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: the season. It's gonna be a great crowd in Indianapolis,

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be wild. I was just saying, Purdue's there too,

257
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: So think about what that ticket's gonna be.

258
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 4: Like.

259
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Have Kentucky, Tennessee Purdue in Houston. So you're gonna have

260
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Kentucky Houston travels better than you think. But Kentucky Tennessee

261
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: and Purdue in the same regional in a day's drive

262
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: from all those places away produce an hour away. I mean,

263
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a heck of a ticket. But but

264
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: everyone should definitely take a moment tonight. A couple of

265
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: things to look at. If you haven't seen it yet,

266
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: watch the CBS video of the team. I think this

267
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: is a cool tradition they've started where they mac the

268
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: board and move their team on. I love watching it

269
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: when other teams do. They really started that during COVID.

270
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember, they were trying to

271
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: get something when they didn't have fans at the game.

272
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: Huh.

273
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: So they started that tradition and it's kind of become

274
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: a big thing. I love watching it from other teams.

275
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: We haven't gotten to do it very much, so it

276
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: was nice to get to watch it. And you need

277
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: to see all the players tried to all right, hey, Mario,

278
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: you two gonna have to bring the volume down just

279
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: a little bit if you are to go to sit

280
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: right there. They have to, you know, the two of them.

281
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: All the players each tried to hold it while they

282
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: did it, so they all circle around and they all

283
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: smack it there.

284
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: Because it's a team effort that everybody like you went

285
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: through the everybody had their moment tonight. It seemed like

286
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: it was a complete team effort to pull it.

287
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: Really was a team effort, it really was. What about

288
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: Trent Noah's play at the end of the first half,

289
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: It was huge. I really was to play. I mean

290
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: they again Illinois making a run. Yeah, does he gets

291
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: the fake and gets the foul. That's gonna be a

292
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: veteran play. He's gonna make people mad during his time

293
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: at UK. But I love it. Colorado State, by the way,

294
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: just hit a three to go up one and gets Maryland.

295
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: They were down two four seconds to go and they

296
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: hit a massive three to take care.

297
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 3: No, that's that's the KSR bump. We went to the

298
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: Colorado State bookstore. Remember we even think about that. We

299
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: went to the bookstore. I bought a hoodie. I bought

300
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: a hoodie. You bought a hoodie.

301
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: That was probably a big part of it. All right,

302
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: open up the lines. A five nine two eight oh

303
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: twenty two eighty seven. It is eight twelve. I'll at

304
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: Central time, probably nine to twelve. Probably it is nine

305
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: to twelve Eastern. I'll commit to do it about fifty

306
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: minutes because we do have to get on the road

307
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: here and head down the road, but I also want

308

Speaker 1: to enjoy this. We'll take your calls. A five nine

00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: page ride on his nineteen forties Android, and we'll be

312
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: right back. This is the Local Toy Dealer's KSR postgame show.

313
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show.

314
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: We have our first NCAA tournament buzzer beater. Dereck Queen

315
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: of Maryland hits a shot at the buzzer to beat

316
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: Colorado State. Drew wins his bet he bet on one

317
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: buzzer beater and he wins it. That was a heck

318
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: of a play. Derek Queen, who I saw play earlier

319
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: this year and I thought was a little bit disappointing

320
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: to me. Well, now I see the hype a bank runner.

321
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a first round pick, maybe even a

322
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: top ten pick, Ryan, And what a shot.

323
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: That was a tough shot. Now, obviously they ran the

324
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: ball play to him, could put the ball in his hands,

325
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: go in the game for us, big fellow, and he did.

326
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Crab five is through to the sweet half five.

327
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: That's right. He's a good name. Not a tournament for

328
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: the little guy. By the way, with that win, all

329
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: the mid majors are out.

330
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: That's the last one sec.

331
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: By the way, now has six teams in the Sweet sixteen.

332
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: If Old Miss were to beat.

333
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: IWA Miss was ahead last time I looked.

334
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: If Old Miss were to beat IWA State, we would

335
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: break the record for most teams into Sweet sixteen ever

336
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: from one conference. The record is six and we've already

337
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: tied it. Old Miss is up eleven at the half.

338
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: At the half, yeah, didn't see that one coming.

339
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, hatty Toddy blah blah blah, Baboo behind

340
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Drew and Shannon

341
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: old Joyna Here in a little bit, Billy, you weren't

342
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: at the game, but it was an awesome sitting in

343
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: your little booth there in Lexington.

344
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: It was you know, Tom and Jack getting into it

345
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 5: late in the second half too, is my favorite part. Uh,

346
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: Kobe's was just incredible.

347
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Can you I mean, I don't want to give you work,

348
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: but is there a way for you to just play

349
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: those three Kobe shots kind of at some point before

350
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: the show's over.

351
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 5: Again, They're already ready to go if you want to

352
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: hear it. I just got to pull it.

353
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. Let's play if this is all

354
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: three of them in a row?

355
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: This, Yes, it is.

356
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: This is all three Kobe Brayers shots in a row. Perfect.

357
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: Thanks, I'm not ready yet, hold on, I gotta get it.

358
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: You just said you were ready.

359
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a call. We'll do it in

360
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: a minute. Go ahead, that great classic, Billy, I got it. No,

361
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't have that. Go ahead's up first, Eli, go ahead?

362
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 6: Hello?

363
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 7: Can you hear me?

364
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Yes?

365
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: Man, I just I just need like thirty seconds of

366
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: your time. I just I just want to say, this

367
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: team has so much grit and I love it so much.

368
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 4: Mark Coobe had two months to make this team without

369
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: a single player returning, and we're going to the second

370
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: weekend baby.

371
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: Well. I mean, they do have a lot of grit.

372
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, especially now that Jackson Robinson is out.

373
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this really is a team where the hole

374
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: is greater than some of the parts. I'll say this again,

375
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't expect I don't think any of these team

376
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: guys are gonna play in the NBA. Maybe O way,

377
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: if he comes back next year and has a huge year,

378
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: maybe he finds a way into the league. Kobe Bray

379
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: is not playing in the NBA. I don't think Amar's

380
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: playing in the NBA. Don't think Lamar's playing in THEBA.

381
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: I think theyre gonna play professional basketball right they want,

382
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: for as long as they want to do it. I

383
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: don't think they'll play in the NBA. I hope they do,

384
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's unlikely. But nevertheless, all of these guys,

385
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: he takes them to another level, and like Kobe Bray

386
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: is out there shooting. I mean, you got Kevin Harlan

387
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: calling Kobe Bray a lighting up. How awesome is that?

388
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: I was sitting in front of some old miss like

389
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: student managers, and they were like, at one point, like

390
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: this is unbelieve that guy's from Dayton, that guy's from Drexel,

391
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: that guy's from Fairleigh Dickinson. You know he's doing he

392
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: put these guys together. They were like shocked that these

393
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: mid major guys are now playing at such a high level.

394
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: And that's partially what I love about it is, you know,

395
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: none of these dudes thought they'd play here. Yeah, you

396
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: know Lamont had success at San Diego State, going the

397
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: championship game. I'm sure that was something he never could

398
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: have imagined, But he didn't think he was gonna be

399
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: playing in Kentucky. Play a dude like Ansley Almonor. I mean,

400
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: Ansley Almanor is built like me, right, and he's out there.

401
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm serious, he's out there scoring points in the NCAA tournament.

402
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: You get Kobe.

403
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: Brea, he's at Dayton, right to get Andrew Carr's at

404
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: wake Forest. None of these dudes A Marii Williams is

405
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: from Nottingham, England. I mean the idea that that group

406
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: of people found a way to Kentucky and then found

407
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: a way to do this. It's just an incredible story.

408
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the ninety two team, but if

409
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: you didn't have Jamal Mata uh huh, like you didn't

410
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: have a Jamal Mashburn And that's kind of what this

411
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: is like.

412
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: And our best player gets hurt and is not even

413
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: eligible for this run just makes it anything even more special.

414
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: What these guys have done and continue to do.

415
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: And we're gonna continue to get guys like this like that.

416
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Like I think throughout the Pope area you're gonna have

417
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: dudes that play at these random schools. But here's what

418
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever have. I don't think we'll

419
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: ever have again a team that that's all there is,

420
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: because I think we're gonna have great recruits coming to

421
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: huh like even next year, we're gonna have these guys,

422
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: but we're also gonna have Jasper Johnson, right, who's gonna

423
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: be an NBA player. We're gonna have you know, these

424
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: young's uber talented. We'll never have a group here like

425
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: this again.

426
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: I agreeably, and.

427
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: I think that actually does make it kind of spec.

428
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: But I think this may be his most important recruiting

429
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: class of his entire career.

430
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: No doubt. He had to show he could do it

431
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: at this level. Yep, and he has yep. And now

432
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: you can keep going on, who's up next?

433
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: Well, I got the braas sound. Let me play that.

434
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do one more call and then I'll set

435
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: up right. Who's John? Go ahead? John?

436
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 8: Hey guys, it's been a while since I've called it

437
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 8: into the show, you know, growing up in life, and

438
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 8: I I love these players because I have nothing but

439
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 8: love for Coach cow. He did a lot for our statement.

440
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 8: I'm nothing but you know, proud of what he accomplished

441
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 8: with with our program. But it got to the point,

442
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 8: like when I was a kid, like even if we

443
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 8: didn't win that next year, it was the next year,

444
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 8: they're coming back and da da da. And I know

445
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: we might not get these guys again the same way

446
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 8: because of the portal and everything, but there's just a

447
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 8: heart that comes with, you know, these guys that are

448
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 8: just working. They're working to play basketball, they're working to

449
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 8: you know, to get degrees and things like that that

450
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 8: it's just I missed from being a child, you know,

451
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 8: And that's why I'm so proud of coach Pope in

452
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 8: his first year, and no matter what happens, it's a

453
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 8: success because he he brought a heart back that it's

454
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 8: that wasn't here. But it just you kind of you

455
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 8: kind of get disassociated when it when when when the

456
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 8: next year, it's just a whole new batch, you know.

457
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 8: And so I'm just really happy. I'm really excited and

458
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 8: I look forward to to to gain three against the

459
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 8: teams that we've done well against, and so I'm excited.

460
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 8: I think the future is bright.

461
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I appreciate the call. This is a

462
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: kind of blue collar mentality that's you know, look, I

463
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: want to we're Kentucky. I want to win national championships.

464
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I think to win national championships, I don't know if

465
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: you got to have elite freshmen, but you got to

466
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: have elite dudes. I mean, you look at the teams

467
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: that probably had the best chance to win the national championship.

468
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: You got Cooper Flag, you got Broom, you got Walter

469
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Clayton junior. Right, I mean, you got the Houston guys.

470
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of them, but they're they're old dudes.

471
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: We gonna need guys like that. But having a group

472
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: like this for a year. I do think really has

473
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: brought the heartbeat and the energy of Big Blue Nation back.

474
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 3: They love this team. They're so endearing. They just they

475
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: loved what these guys have been able to do their

476
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: one year head. They know they're just here for one year,

477
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: but to sacrifice and now get them to this level

478
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: whe they're back in the sweet sixteen for the first

479
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: time in six years is pretty incredible.

480
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they're one and dones, but it's a

481
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: different kind of one it is. And listen, I love

482
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: the freshman when it dones. We had a ton of

483
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: dudes here, and I think those guys respected the uniform.

484
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times when people are like, oh,

485
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: they don't care, I don't think that was fair to

486
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot of those kids. There was probably less than

487
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: five guys that were here that I what didn't really

488
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: enjoy being around. I love that group of players, But

489
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: for a lot of Big Blue Nation, this is the

490
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of team they fell in love with. Yep, you

491
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yep. And it's nice to see

492
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: what see.

493
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: What not Necessarily the McDonald's all Americans, just guys go

494
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: out and just bust their ass. When every practice every game,

495
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: and this is gonna be a special jersey.

496
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: This is gonna be one. I don't care even if

497
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: we lose to Tennessee's next week. This is gonna be

498
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: a team that fans are gonna love, oh yeah, for

499
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: a long time, and they deserve it. I think tonight,

500
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: I think it was gonna happen anyway, but tonight solidified,

501
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Yes it did, I think for real. All right. So

502
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: here's the Kobe Breyer run that was really kind of

503
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: the final you know, differentiation in the game.

504
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 9: Bounced feed to Garrison just outside the left elbow. Garrison

505
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 9: hands it back to Brea. Praya backs out, shoots a three.

506
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Got it.

507
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: Brea curls into the circle, runs into Garrison.

508
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 9: So he backs out, slides left, gets into the left

509
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 9: elbow with a jumper that bounces around and drops in

510
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 9: the soft shooters roll for Kobe Brea.

511
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: He's got eighteen.

512
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 9: Here's Brea straight away between the circles, started by Yaka

513
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 9: Chunnas goes left.

514
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: Gets screened off. Here's a three, big go.

515
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 9: Bria, closely guarded by Boswell, puts it behind his back,

516
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 9: comes off the screen, gets open at the high post.

517
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: Got it. That was all I mean that last one

518
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: was a huge one. But you know you can hear,

519
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: you can hear by that call. The crowd wasn't on

520
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: our side, No, no, not at all. And you were

521
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: sitting over there with the Illinois people.

522
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: There were twice as many or not Morenoy fans than

523
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky fans. And then when the Iowa State fans came in,

524
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: they all.

525
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Started Iowa State fans. And I thought, I thought, I

526
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: thought there was gonna be a lot of Iowa State fans.

527
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: It was Illinois.

528
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: I mean it was Illinois.

529
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 1: Fifty to sixty percent of arena was in Illinois. We

530
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: might have had more than Iowa State. I expected Iowa

531
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: State to have a lot more than they had. Apparently

532
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Friday night I didn't go to the Iowa State game.

533
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: They said there were tons of Iowa states that all

534
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: gone home because there wasn't as many at this one.

535
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: For whatever, I want to say one more thing about Brea.

536
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: He did things tonight he wasn't doing earlier than the year.

537
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: Creating his own shot kind of you know, finding a

538
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: way to get free good, some space to get that

539
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: shot off. He wasn't able to do that right.

540
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: Probably part of that is just having to do it

541
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: with Jackson Robinson out. Yeah, Like, I mean, we need

542
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: him to do what Jackson Robinson was doing, and so

543
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: he's just getting more of an opportunity to, uh to

544
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: do it. And you may remember when Colin Chandler had

545
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: his first good game, I said, Colin Chandler is not

546
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: Jackson Robinson. But if we could get to where he's

547
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: sixty to seventy percent of Jackson Robinson, remember me, that

548
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: would be great.

549
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forget.

550
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: He's getting there.

551
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: He is getting he's getting there.

552
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like getting into that little zone that

553
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about, which is not Jackson Robinson but maybe

554
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: sixty to seventy percent of Jackson Robinson.

555
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: And he's not hurting you when he's running the point,

556
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: not at all, not at all, not at all.

557
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Who's next? D W, d W, what's up?

558
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: D W?

559
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 10: Hey guys?

560
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: What a win?

561
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 11: Like?

562
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt, I saw you getting depped up by Mark

563
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 10: Pope after the game.

564
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 12: What was that?

565
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 13: Like?

566
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: It was awesome? That was awesome. I mean, I'm not

567
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: I didn't expect why I was starstruck. I do, I

568
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: know him a little bit, but I just in that moment,

569
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: I just wanted to. You know, I just happened to

570
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: be there. I just wanted to shake his hand, and

571
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: then he gave me a hug after giving me a

572
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: hard time the other day. And you know, just on

573
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: a personal level, man, it's been that's a big difference

574
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: in where we were one year ago. And that's for

575
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: somebody that's as big a fan as I am. That's

576
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: a that's a cool moment.

577
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 10: Hey, and y'all have already said that this team has

578
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 10: khone's like they're not going away easy, Like they're gonna

579
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 10: stick around. We're gonna make a finals before run.

580
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Don't worry, Hey, listen, I appreciate the call that the brack.

581
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: To me, I've said this a lot. I think there's

582
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: four teams. Kentucky's gonna have a real hard time beating Okay.

583
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: I think they'd have a real hard time beating Duke.

584
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: I think they have a real hard time beating Florida.

585
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: I think they have a real hard Now again, we've

586
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: beaten them before, but I still think it would. We

587
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: would have a hard time. I think we have a

588
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: hard time with Alabama. I think we'd have a hard

589
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: time with Maybe that's it. Duke Florida, Alabama, Auburn, excuse me, Auburn,

590
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: so four, but we none of them are in our region.

591
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: So when the bracket came out, I did think, all right,

592
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: they put us in a region of teams we can beat. Now,

593
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll be favored against Tennessee. Probably shouldn't be.

594
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: I don't think we would be favored against Houston. I

595
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: think we might be favored if we played Purdue, but

596
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: all those teams are teams we can beat. So I'm

597
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: not expecting us to make the Final four. But it's

598
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: there for the taking if you.

599
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: Play with if you knock off Tennessee. I feel pretty

600
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: good about either Purdue or Houston.

601
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: I think Houston. Houston's tough, they're good, but I think

602
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: Purdue could be uson. Purdue's gonna have a massive home

603
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: court advantage game with us. Yeah, do we By the way,

604
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: we'll know that times late tonight, we'll know what. But

605
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: we we play Friday nights. The game is Friday. But

606
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: whether it's first or second game, if I you know,

607
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: if I had to get what's the other regional billy

608
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: that's that night, is Duke that night or not?

609
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I'll have to look that up right now.

610
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Okay, well, because that my If Duke is that night,

611
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: then I think we'll be playing at seven. If Duke

612
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: is not that night, then I think we'll be playing

613
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: at nine. The reason being, if Duke's that night, Duke

614
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: will be on CBS, we'll be on TBS. If we're

615
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: on CBS, they'll put us as the late game. If

616
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: we're on TBS, they'll put us as the early game.

617
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: It's just my gues so I don't know. I don't

618
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: know which which it's which it's gonna because I don't

619
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: know what. Who's up next? Craig and Guam, Craig and Guamb.

620
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good?

621
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 14: Last time Kentucky made Sweet sixteen, I was still Craig

622
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 14: in Alaska. But I guess little Z took a big

623
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 14: l tonight and also uh so bad for the women's team.

624
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: That was a that was a great game. But Georgia, Georgia,

625
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean she had a four foot I hate that

626
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: for you. She's so good.

627
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 14: But if she's gonna stay run in the States. My

628
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 14: tender profile was at Craig and Guam, so you know

629
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 14: she could.

630
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Look me up. I will make sure to pass on

631
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: the message match maker here. I appreciate the call. I'm

632
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: sure we'll get Georgia on again before before she takes off.

633
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: She's gonna be great. Oh I hated they lost that game.

634
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: They were playing that on the big screen in the

635
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: arena before and the Kentucky fans that were there, we

636
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: were Oh they got They had like four looks at

637
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: it at the end and just couldn't make any.

638
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 3: Perfect out of bounds play a great giving go. She

639
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: had a wide open look, a little floater on the baseline,

640
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: just didn't.

641
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Try I drop well, But she had one of the

642
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: amazing careers. Yeah, she's gonna be be fun watching her.

643
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: She's WNBA this year. She's show me a top ten

644
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: pick in the WNBA. So I'm looking forward to that

645
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: for her.

646
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: And it sounded like the crowd was awesome now you know,

647
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: and morel Costume, I think our local fans really got

648
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: behind him.

649
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: And so Duke is Thursday night. Because Duke's Thursday Night,

650
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: I would assume this is just a guess. I would

651
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: assume we will be on CBS. And if we're on CBS,

652
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: then I think they'll put us as the late game

653
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: at nine thirty. That's just my guess. But if I

654
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: were to guess, if we're on CBS, they'll put the

655
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: best game. Second, if Duke had been Friday, they might

656
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: have put us on TBS. But now we'll be on

657
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna guess Friday nine thirty on CBS. That's

658
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: my guess.

659
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: Well, you're usually pretty close.

660
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: So I called this one to day, didn't we? Yeah,

661
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: so Shanon's got food. Now that looks good. Who's up next?

662
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: We'll take a break so I can eat. Who's next? Jacob, Jacob?

663
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Jacob? Hey, Matt.

664
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 6: Just a couple of things. I think if there's any

665
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 6: doubt left by any of the fan base that Mark

666
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: Pope was the right hire, that Miss Martin Hart made

667
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: a great pick with Mark Pope, then that needs to

668
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 6: be put to bed. He's done an incredible job, fully

669
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 6: one behind him. I think this team that we need

670
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 6: to to really appreciate, And part of that is because

671
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: they've really bought into, you know, the Mark Pope system.

672
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 6: They've bought into the like you said, the sum is

673
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 6: greater than any one of them, So I think we

674
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 6: really need to appreciate them. And then also I think

675
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 6: that and I think that we are about as favorable

676
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 6: of a position as we could hope for. I think

677
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 6: that going into Adynapolis, I think we are I mean

678
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 6: our I like our odds.

679
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: I like our.

680
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: Chances too, and I agree with everything you just said,

681
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the call. I think we do. You know,

682
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: I remember I said in twenty ten Ryan that there

683
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: was no person who could have rebuilt Kentucky as quickly

684
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: as cal did, because the way you know, pre transfer portal,

685
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: you gotta get one and like, let's be cause you know,

686
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: they consider tom Izzo. I think tom Izzo would have

687
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: won here. It would have taken a couple of years,

688
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: though he would have had to build a program. John

689
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Caliperry was the only guy you could get at that

690
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: point who could rebuild it immediately, and he did. He

691
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: built it a meal. He was the perfect hire at

692
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: that time to get Kentucky basketball. Now fast forward to here,

693
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: when you consider the emotion of the fan base, when

694
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: you consider where we were just mentally kind of where

695
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: we were after the last few years, and when you

696
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: consider the sort of realities of a portal era now

697
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: where you're getting a different kind of player and you're

698
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: doing older kind of thing. Mark Pope was the perfect

699
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: guy for this at that time. John Caliperry was the

700
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: perfect guy in twenty ten, at that time under those

701
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: rules for this job, and I think in twenty twenty five,

702
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: Mark Pope was the perfect guy at this time for

703
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: this job under these rules.

704
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want anybody else. I mean, you know, we

705
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: were all a little lary when it came out that night,

706
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't want anybody else to be my coach

707
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: right now, nobody.

708
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: But I told you, okay, I remember when I got

709
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: the phone call on that Thursday night at like ten

710
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: thirty that it was gonna be Mark Pope. If you

711
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: had told me at that moment that we'd be standing

712
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: here in March in Milwaukee about to go to a

713
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, I don't know if I believe that.

714
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would have believed.

715
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: I should have, because he's done an amazing job and

716
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: he deserves all.

717
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: The ten watching.

718
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: There's just something, you know, there's something really sweet. It

719
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: was sweet yesterday when Ellen and Megan were crying after

720
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: that win against at Arkansas. It was, you know, whatever

721
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: thoughts are on John and recently, that was sweet well,

722
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what else was sweet watching Lee Anne

723
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: and the daughters in Mark after the game tonight. It's

724
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: just like it's just a college sports are amazing.

725
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: As you used to say, what sports is awesome?

726
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: That sports is awesome, But the emotion of the NCAA tournament,

727
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: because think about.

728
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: To you know from b Yu had never tasted success

729
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: in the NCAA tournament, never won, never won.

730
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: Again, and now it's doubled. Seth Greenberg's total eight. If

731
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, We're

732
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna take a break and be right back. It's the

733
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: local Toyota dealers, Okay, is our postgame show?

734
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 9: All he wants the screen takes it going down the

735
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 9: left side, hesitates, crosses, over, comes back to his right hand,

736
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 9: banks it up and it rims out no good and

737
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 9: Butler comes.

738
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 15: Up with a steal over to Garrison, layup good five

739
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 15: and one less on Butler the pocket of Yakatonas as

740
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 15: he was heading back up the floor, he fed Garrison

741
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 15: for the layup and Garrison got found Mond Butler gotta love.

742
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: That, love that energy from Tom and Jack. The big play.

743
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: I think that was one of a couple of very

744
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: very big plays in the game, maybe the biggest. At

745
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: the moment, a twenty two eighty seven. People are sending

746
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: me that the game is already at ten o'clock. They're

747
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: they're pointing to Draft Kings. I don't think that's official yet.

748
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: I think it may end up at that time, but

749
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: I don't think that's official yet. I think that's that's

750
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: probably their guess.

751
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 3: Because Draft Kings already have the Tennessee spread.

752
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: That's a good question.

753
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: Yes, a dog four and a half point dog.

754
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Four and a half seems about right to me. Honestly,

755
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee four and a half, that makes makes sense. I

756
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: wish i'd been guessed before before you said it. I

757
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: don't know if I would have guessed. Yeah, that's about

758
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: that's about right. I mean we were we were a

759
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: two and a half point dog tonight. Well I tipped off.

760
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: So you know, what are you gonna do? We we

761
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: we can be a dog.

762
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Illinois they should out twenty five percent.

763
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: I think from three point land they had some open looks.

764
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: You think about the SEC got six miss wins and

765
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: set the record. You think you know everybody sang the

766
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: you know sang a funeral song for the SEC after

767
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: they only went eight and six in the first round.

768
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: But my point was, our twelfth place team is playing

769
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: these other conference the second best team. If you put

770
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: seven teams in the sweet sixteen, and I would argue

771
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: all seven are good teams. I mean, the only team

772
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: that has lost for the SEC that I think is

773
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: a good team. Well, who lost in this who lost?

774
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: And A and M's and and they could have won

775
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: that game. That game came right down to the end

776
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: against Michigan, So I think A and M. I think

777
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: we had seven really good teams in the SEC by

778
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: the time the season was over. Arkansas was good. They

779
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: weren't good most of the year, but I think they

780
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: were by the end. And now of those eight, you

781
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: might see seven of them in the sweet sixteen. It's

782
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: pretty good. Who's up next, Brent? Brent?

783
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 16: Go ahead, Brent, Hey man, uh call him from Oklahoma.

784
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 16: I just want to say this celebratory call. I'm so excited.

785
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 16: I've been in a bar all night, cheer and raising

786
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 16: heck with everybody. I'm so I'm so happy to get

787
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 16: this team back from what we used to be in

788
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 16: the in the dark ages. So I just wanted to

789
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 16: call in and say that I'm so happy.

790
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much, appreciate the call. I'm I'm

791
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: happy too.

792
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: Like I said, not just Mark Pulp need this, our

793
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: fan base needed this. We needed at least get to

794
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: the second weekend of the nca tournament.

795
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: I think Shannon put the headset on just second and

796
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: I know that chicken's good, but it'll still be there.

797
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: I want to interrupted dinner, I know, but I'll still

798
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: be there. He's gonna be all right. I want to

799
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: hear what he thought he was sitting. I looked up,

800
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: and you were sitting on the second row. How'd you

801
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: pull up those at a trip to referee? Just act

802
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: like you belong there. That's the main thing, right, you

803
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: were sitting like with the Illinois administration.

804
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 17: I was, yeah, you know, this bumped a couple of times.

805
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 18: I don't think they realized I was a Kentucky fan

806
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 18: sitting there next to them. But overall, you know, just

807
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 18: a great team effort. I thought, Uh, Kobe Brea shot

808
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 18: exactly the amount of times that I wanted him to.

809
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 17: He took sixteen shots, and I'm good with that.

810
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: Have you been how many NCAA tournament games. Have you

811
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: have you been to? I know what? I you actually okay,

812
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to think when was the last time

813
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: you went to one? Because you didn't go to Pittsburgh. No,

814
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: you didn't go to Indianapolis, went to Greensboro. You went

815
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: to Greensboro. That's right, Yep, yep.

816
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 18: The Kansas State game in Atlanta, we can forget about

817
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 18: that when I was there. But yeah, I was just

818
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 18: really happy with the way they played the night. And

819
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 18: you know, I give him a really good chance against Tennessee.

820
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 18: I think they've got a great chance.

821
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: I think I got a great chance. We'll have a

822
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 1: lot of time to talk about it about this week's

823
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Kentucky Sweet Sixteen is this week as well, so be

824
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: very exciting.

825
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 17: Now where did you watch the game? Did you go

826
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 17: back to.

827
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Saint Kate's Arts Hotel?

828
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: So would you he's undefeated?

829
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Would you like to know? Would you like to know

830
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: my setup at the Saint Kate's. Saint Kate Arts Hotel

831
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: also has like it's it's connected to like a bank

832
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: or it's like a big I think they're like there

833
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: their Milwaukee Theater is in there. It's like, you know,

834
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: it's a big office building. Or something. And in that

835
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: office building lobby is a television. So I found that

836
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: the last game, and so I went back there and

837
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: I was watching on the television and there was no

838
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: one there but me, and then one man whose whole

839
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: job it seemed to be was to tell people that

840
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: the bathroom was locked and they couldn't come use it.

841
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: So he saw me. There's no sound on the TV, right,

842
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: So he saw me just likecking, rocking back and forth

843
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: in front of the television, and I just kept looking

844
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: at him, and he looked at me, like who are

845
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: you and why are you standing in this building? And

846
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: he came and he tapped me on the shoulder at

847
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: one point and goes, just so you know, you can't

848
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: use his restaurant. And I was like, I don't care

849
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: about the restroom. I'm here watching this game in silence.

850
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: I rocked back and forth for two hours straight.

851
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 18: Just when you're swaying back in fourth in a bank,

852
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 18: it probably makes you look really suspicious, like you're like

853
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 18: something's about to go down.

854
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: But I want to know how you get a job,

855
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: the whole point of which is to stand in an

856
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: empty lobby until people they can't use the restaurant.

857
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 17: It's a great job.

858
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: And I would also say the door's locked, you can't

859
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: use it. And I wanted to be like, well, I

860
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: feel like if it's locked, they don't even need you.

861
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 17: Yeah, he's the one guy with the key right.

862
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: Just locked.

863
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be to I.

864
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 17: Don't want to understand you. Like we drove all the

865
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 17: way from Kentucky to Milwaukee.

866
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: Yes we did.

867
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 18: The arena's right here, it's right there. You don't go

868
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 18: to the game. You go to a hotel, Kate Art's Hotel,

869
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 18: Bank Billy. Wait a minute.

870
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: He goes to the game, but when it tips off,

871
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 3: then he leaves like he's in.

872
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: The arena comes back. When he leaves, I leave with

873
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: like ten minutes on the clock so I can get

874
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: to the hotel in time to watch the beginning of

875
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: theaw Whatever works for you.

876
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 17: I mean, we're two and oh here, so maybe you

877
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 17: should come back.

878
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, you know, it's we talked about. It's

879
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: the waiting. I don't like the waiting. And then when

880
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: you add the fact that the crowd was all Illinois,

881
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: it was it was very It was like, I, you know,

882
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't I need to be able to walk away

883
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: if I get frustra Yeah, you know, I need to

884
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: be able to take a lap and come back.

885
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 18: Kentucky did a great job of anytime the Illinois fans

886
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 18: tried to get into it and try to take over.

887
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 17: The loudest they got all night.

888
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 18: Was when they cut it down to three, and at

889
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 18: that point Kentucky came back, hit a shot and then

890
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 18: it and they never really were.

891
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: In they I mean, they didn't get it closer than

892
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: six the entire second half. Yeah way, they scored on

893
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: the first ten possessions of the second half Kentucky. Illinois

894
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: scored a handful of times too, But Kentucky scored on

895
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: the first ten possessions of the first.

896
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: Half, and it seem like Otaga probably got most of them.

897
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: You know, he didn get to play the first half.

898
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 3: He comes in the second half, goes on ten.

899
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: You come out at halftime scoring ten straight possessions.

900
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: That's pretty good a coaching, pretty good, right.

906
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 19: That's all awesome picture of you and Pope. Tennessee fans

907
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 19: they keep talking that crap with don scold them twice

908
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 19: this year.

Speaker 12: What's one more butt whooping?

910
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do butt whoop it.

911
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 19: Toby brah stepped up in a big way. And the

912
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 19: growth of Garrison and Chandler in the last five games.

913
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 19: I need to be talked about more than I have

914
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 19: been been unbelievable, Harris.

915
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that play Garrison made at the end.

916
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call you got the n one, which

917
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: obviously was great, But what about that defensive play. I

918
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: thought he was about to foul that dude on a

919
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: three and I was going to go absolutely in stands. Instead,

920
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: he moves his body, misses him, and then with his

921
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: hand knocks it off his leg. I don't know how

922
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: he did it. I have a question because well, you

923
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: were there, Billy. Well, I don't know, Billy. You may

924
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: not know either. I didn't get hear the game broadcast.

925
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: What was the controversy? Like, why were they? I mean

926
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: it was it seemed to me it was clearly off

927
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: the Illinois guy. What why was the Illinois coach arguing

928
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: what were they? What were they? What was the controversy?

929
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I didn't I didn't hear any of

930
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 5: the game broadcasts, so I didn't take that.

931
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell. It seemed like the coach was very angry.

932
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: It didn't. I mean, I don't think he fouled him.

933
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 3: It looked like they were arguing that they thought it

934
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: went out on him, you know, just seeing it live

935
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 3: action from that angle.

936
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: Okay, but when they did the slow motion, I thought

937
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: it hit him twice. I thought he hit't even the

938
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: arm end though it no the Illinois guy. Yeah, oh,

939
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: because wait a minute, you all wor at the game.

940
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: You didn't get to see the correct so he flies through.

941
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: I guess none of you also that saw it. He

942
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: touches the ball, the ball kind of it. It looked

943
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: to me like it grazed off his arm and then

944
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: grazed off his leg. But I will say it wasn't

945
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: like definitive, So I didn't know if I thought they

946
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: might not overturn it, but then they did.

947
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

948
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: But if you watch the trajectory of the ball, it

949
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: had to have hit him, you know how balls like

950
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. There's no way it would

951
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: have gone where it went if it hadn't hit off.

952
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: But it was an amazing play. But I don't know

953
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: if you could tell what an amazing play. He moved

954
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: his body to keep from hitting him and then put

955
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: his arm hit. It was for a dude seven feet tall.

956
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: It was a heck of a plus.

957
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: Seeing seeing it live. I don't know how he did it.

958
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't know how he got up there and then

959
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 3: got that.

960
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna find I don't think he

961
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: did faulty. Even on the replay, I don't think he

962
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: touched him. I think it was It was a pretty

963
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: great play. Who's next?

964
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 5: Hunter, Hunter?

965
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Hunter?

966
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 13: How are you doing?

967
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: Go for it?

968
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: Man?

969
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 20: All right, hey man, how about calling Chandler baby?

970
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 7: That was crazy? Are you on his?

971
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 8: Are you on his?

972
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: The train?

973
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 21: Now that we gotta keep him for the offseason, He's

974
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 21: going to be starting point guard.

975
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: Come on, we're going to keep him. I think he.

976
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: I I think they they. I think there will be

977
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: five guys from this team that are on the team

978
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, and he. I think he's back. I

979
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: mean his wife just posted something on Instagram about how

980
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: they were getting married and she was moving to Lexington

981
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: to start her life. I don't think that's gonna be

982
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: for like a month, so so I assume that means

983
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: that they're they're back.

984
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 16: Highly doubt it.

985
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 21: Just a great win overall, and I am so I'm

986
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 21: so excited to go against Tennessee.

987
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 6: Let's go beat him, Let's go send Rick Barnes in

988
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 6: a retirement, Let's go baby.

989
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well that's that's true. That's the word.

990
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 3: No.

991
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of chatter that he may

992
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: he may hang it up. We could kind of end

993
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: that career maybe. And I like Rick Barts. I think

994
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: he I think he seems like a good guy. I don't.

995
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: I have no animosity towards Rickmore.

996
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 3: He kind of seemed to own Cali Perry for whatever reason.

997
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: He kind of beat Cali Peri here several times. But yeah,

998
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 3: here Polpan's first year's beat the guy twice a team

999
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: that was number one in the country for a loll

1000
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 3: for a while there.

1001
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah a five nine, two eighty seven. Who's next, Robert, Robert,

1002
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: go ahead, Robert, Hey, guys.

1003
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 7: I love my Mark Pope's excitement post game. I really

1004
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 7: think he felt like he was in that ninety six

1005
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 7: jersey again, and I'm really glad that you all got

1006
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 7: to embrace post game after that. I have one question,

1007
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 7: all hang up. You know Tennessee's gonna have a chip

1008
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 7: on their shoulder coming in this game Friday. What do

1009
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 7: you think are keys to success in this third matchup?

1010
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 16: Are?

1011
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 7: And also shots? My friend mister Hogan.

1012
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, we have been very blessed in both of

1013
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: the games against Tennessee that they have shot terribly in

1014
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: both games. I mean, I don't know what the number is,

1015
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: but they have. They have just thrown brick after brick up.

1016
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: If it wasn't for ego or I don't know that

1017
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: they would have made a three in any of those games. Obviously,

1018
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: we got to hope that happens again. I don't think

1019
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: you can plan for them to shoot as badly as

1020
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,280
Speaker 1: they have shot, because they have shot awful both times

1021
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: against US. I think you just keep I mean, I

1022
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: think the game plan will be very similar. Shoot it

1023
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: good luck, yeah, you know. I mean I think we

1024
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: try to limit the both games, we tried to limit

1025
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: their their scoring inside and we've given them the outside

1026
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: shot and they haven't made it. And I think probably

1027
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: if it ain't broke.

1028
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: You do it again, right, Zakaiig I think was one

1029
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 3: of ten at Ropparena from three.

1030
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: So he is again knock on all the good. But

1031
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: as good as he is, he's really never played well

1032
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: against us.

1033
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 3: You know, uh, you know the first game down in Knoxville,

1034
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: we didn't even have Lamont Butler and he still was rattle,

1035
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 3: still didn't play.

1036
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: The only reason they were even in that game in

1037
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Knoxville was that gainy kid. Yeah right, in Igor but

1038
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: both Lanier and the Linear played better in Rough But

1039
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: again Knoxville, they all they both.

1040
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 3: Played bad, and the gainy kid nobody in that game.

1041
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: Remember the game in Knoxville, we had like six.

1042
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: Players, that's right, that's one of our first game. I think,

1043
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: without Jackson and Lamont both. I think it seems to

1044
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: me like.

1045
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: That I watched that game on my phone at the

1046
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: New York Rangers hockey game, so I forgot that. Yeah,

1047
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: we'll do one more and we'll take our final break.

1048
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: Who's next, Josh, Josh, go ahead, Josh, Hey man, what's up?

1049
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 14: I thought it was funny that video that Mario put

1050
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 14: out that Mark Pope actually made you look like smaller

1051
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 14: than you actually are because you're not smaller.

1052
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 7: Josh.

1053
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: Sure, if you just see the still framed picture, we

1054
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: look like we're the same size. Watch the video you

1055
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: want a sense of how tall he is, Like, I'm

1056
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: like six three and a half and he towers up.

1057
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: Now he is on a platform, he's on the court,

1058
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: and now I'm under the court. But still you get

1059
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: a sense out to all of you.

1060
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's what I say too.

1061
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: It's fine.

1062
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 22: But now, hey, my kids want to say one thing.

1063
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: No, thanks very much, Hey man, go be blue. I'm

1064
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: not shamed by height. I'm plenty tall, but that dude

1065
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: is another level of tall. I'm so happy for him.

1066
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he needed this, Like I said, he's looking

1067
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: at the bracket and he sees Arkansas and BYU and

1068
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 3: the fleet sixteen. Pope needed this to get.

1069
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: Exactly And you know that's a good point. B Yu

1070
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: makes the sweet sixteen. Cow makes the sweet sixteen. Mark says,

1071
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: all right, I'll see it and I'll call I call you,

1072
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: and then he keeps going eight five to nine two

1073
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: a oh, twenty two eighty seven. We will take a

1074
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: break and come back. Final segment, eating wings in a

1075
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: random hotel bar. Uh I'm not to get this. Mario's

1076
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: first NCAA tournament. Come here, Mario, real quick, stop stop

1077
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,600

1078
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,000

1079
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 23: Uh.

1080
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: All right, so this is your first ever NCAA turn.

1081
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: What did you think of it tonight? It was incredible. Man,

1082
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: I don't have much words to say.

1083
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 11: It's just a whole lot of excitement that I experienced.

1084
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 1: Man, have you caused another ruckus again?

1085
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 3: I did? What did I do?

1086
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: That dude took a picture of you? That was weird?

1087
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: A random dude. Dude was trying to take a picture

1088
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: of Tom Crean. I don't know why he wanted to

1089
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: picture of Tom Crean, but he did. But instead he

1090
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: just took a picture of Mario. He just walked up

1091
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: and took a picture of Mario. And again, I don't know,

1092
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: for some reason, I act like I'm your dad or something,

1093
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: because I'm always like, what are you doing? Why are

1094
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: you taking a picture of Mario? And he was like,

1095
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm taking the picture of Tom Crean, and I go,

1096
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: you could have got closer to Tom creen Why, I mean,

1097
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: why are you getting He had more Mario in the

1098
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: picture than Tom Crean. You barely could see Tom Crean

1099
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: in that. But you keep getting me in fights. But

1100
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: what was that You had a big smile on your

1101
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: face when it was over. Man, I just can't believe

1102
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:48,959
Speaker 1: we're here, Matt.

1103
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 11: And if you told me this and back in June

1104
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 11: when he got hired or April whatever he got hired,

1105
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 11: I would not believe that we would make it to

1106
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 11: the Sweet sixteen. And the crazy thing is we're doing

1107
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 11: this without Jackson is our best player, arguably our best player,

1108
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 11: and we're still doing it.

1109
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: And what if I told you sixteen months ago that

1110
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: you would be here, I mean, you were getting an enterprise.

1111
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe it.

1112
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 11: I'd probably be cleaning cars right about now, to be honest.

1113
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: But you dude, you deserve it. You I appreciate that.

1114
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll be telling you right. Ryan can tell you he's

1115
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: the most famous person here. Definitely not Pee. But nobody

1116
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: even wants. Nobody wants to take people like Matt. Will

1117
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: you hold my phone so I can take a picture

1118
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: with Mario. That's where we is not accurate. That's where

1119
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: we are. We'll take a break and be right back.

1120
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: It's a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Hunter back. It

1121
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: is the local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Ole miss

1122
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 1: is up twenty on Iowa State twenty. So the SEC

1123
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: is gonna get seven teams in the Sweet sixteen, almost

1124
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: half if A and M had just held on against

1125
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 1: seven and one in the second round. Uh, they will,

1126
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 1: they'll be there. I think the Big Ten. We'll see

1127
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: what happens with Michigan State here and the Oregon Arizona

1128
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: as to how many they get in. But seven teams,

1129
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: one from the ACC, seven from the SEC.

1130
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: You know, and the Big ten were banging their chest.

1131
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: They were only there with a Big ten and oer

1132
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,479
Speaker 3: they won their first ten games. I think they've kind.

1133
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: Of they've lost at least two today or they lost

1134
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so we'll see. Maryland did win. So the

1135
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: Big ten, I mean, you could end up a situation

1136
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: where like thirteen of this or twelve of the sixteen

1137
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: teams or Big ten or SEEC. You know, that's uh,

1138
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. But seven teams, I mean, who would

1139
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: have ever thought? There were years where we were the

1140
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: only team in the Sweet sixteen from the SEC.

1141
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 3: There were years where Kentucky on Kentucky was like the

1142
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 3: only for sure fire sees, I mean, potential NCAA tournament

1143
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 3: team like maybe three Now to gets seven in the

1144
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 3: sweet sixteen is pretty amazing.

1145
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Iowa State was good, but uh, I thought.

1146
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 3: They were real good.

1147
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: Ole Miss just destroying them in that same arena right

1148
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,000

1149
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We have six people.

1150
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: We'll do it and then we'll call it a night

1151
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: and do this again in the morning. Who's next, Isaac, Isaac,

1152
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, Isaac.

1153
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 21: Hey, guys, I just wanted to share a quick story

1154
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 21: about BBN. I thought it was cool. So I work

1155
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 21: at a local Kroger in Kentucky, and unfortunately I had

1156
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 21: to work tonight, so I had it on my phone

1157
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 21: and so I would just stalk while I was watching

1158
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 21: the game and put my phone on the court. At

1159
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 21: one point, I turned around and there was like a

1160
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 21: group of people to shopping, but they were like huddled

1161
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 21: around my phone just checking the score. I thought that

1162
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 21: was so crazy, so I just let them check it

1163
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 21: out and then we all kind of celebrated it because

1164
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 21: we were up by a lot.

1165
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we were all huddled around. I appreciate

1166
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: the call. I was a huddle around Mark Story's phone

1167
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,760
Speaker 1: watching the women's game for a little while tonight.

1168
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 3: And that's what we do, right, that's how you watch

1169
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: the end of the women's game.

1170
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: Well, until I roused it was on in the arena,

1171
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: I was like, I was, Jeff Drummond and Mark Story

1172
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: and I were huddled around the little cell phone. Then

1173
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: somebody goes, you know, it's playing out on the arena floor,

1174
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, well.

1175
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 3: Might be a little bitter way to watch.

1176
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 1: A little bigger screen out there than it was.

1177
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 3: I hate that for the women that way. They lost

1178
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 3: the game and at home, but winning tonight sure makes

1179
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 3: it feel a little better.

1180
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: Yes. By the way, Rick Petino was wearing a scarf.

1181
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: Billy right now? Why does he wearing scar him?

1182
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 5: And Shannon the dude?

1183
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: But look he's indoors in the ring, he's at his

1184
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: son's game.

1185
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 3: Oh okay, he's wearing a scarf.

1186
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, why is he wearing a scarf? For five more?

1187
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: Who's nfitt Moffatt? How are you moffittt?

1188
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 7: I'm good man.

1189
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 22: It's hard to complain after a win like that.

1190
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 8: Uh.

1191
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 22: Normally I try and get my two little girls on

1192
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 22: here to say go big Blue, but they fell asleep tonight.

1193
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 22: They'll listen to this tomorrow, Scarlett Lucy, I love you.

1194
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 22: I haven't heard anybody talk about Andrew Carr yet. I

1195
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 22: love Andrew Carr. Whenever he's got the ball, I feel

1196
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 22: like I can take a deep breath. That's about all

1197
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 22: I've got to contribute to this tonight, Go cast, go

1198

00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: Appreciate I appreciate its call. I completely agree with you.

1200
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Carr has really stepped up and been uh and

1201
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: been awesome, and I agree. I feel some some confidence

1202
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: when he gets the ball, Ryan like I, you know,

1203
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: this is it. We're in good shape, and he may

1204
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: he makes big plays.

1205
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 3: He's become a battler down the paint. I mean he

1206
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 3: he finishes you know, Mari again, finishing at Tyne. Why

1207
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 3: he just dunk it. You know, just said we try

1208
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: to lay it in. But Andrew, yes, he did. Andrew

1209
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 3: carrs become a battler down of the paint.

1210
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: Drew Franklin has now just appeared here. Drew h that

1211
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: was awesome. One that you and I have been there

1212
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: wasn't awesome.

1213
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely soaked it out of breath. That was the

1214
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: worst tom Inte walk in my life.

1215
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is poor, all right.

1216
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, we're gonna beat the hell out of Tennessee.

1217
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: But that was. But listen you and when we were

1218
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: you and I were sitting there next to each other

1219
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh when things kind of fell apart last year

1220
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: against Oakland. Kind of cool to see back where it

1221
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: needs to be.

1222
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely it's uh, Kentucky's right where God intended them to be.

1223
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 2: Moving on the NCAA tournament. Uh, Indy's got a little

1224
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 2: bit of a curse. But this is a new era,

1225
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 2: a new team, a new attitude, a new and excited

1226
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: fan base, and we're gonna break that curse and take

1227
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: down the balls.

1228
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, we've had two very painful losses there with

1229
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin and Saint Peter's, but we also have two

1230
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: amazing wins, that Louisville win and the Michigan win. That

1231
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 1: Aaron Harrison shots were in Indianapolis.

1232
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 2: Too, they were before the recent curse.

1233
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: You know.

1234
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 2: The twenty fifteen is when everything went south. I'm ready

1235
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 2: to go exercise these demons. I don't know if Ryan

1236
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 2: kept that sage that we picked up in Denver, but

1237
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: we might want to take that with us. But just

1238
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 2: thrilled about the win tonight. That was an absolute whooping

1239
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: led for thirty seven and a half minutes. Anytime they'd

1240
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: try to come back, Kentucky always had a good answer.

1241
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: I mean, that was all Kentucky all night.

1242
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: You were in the postgame press conference, I heard some

1243
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: of it. Anything stuck out to you.

1244
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 2: They're really funny and loose, and I think that it's

1245
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: easy to be funny and loose when you just want

1246
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 2: a game, but I kind of feel like they were

1247
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:32,879
Speaker 2: like that all night.

1248
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

1249
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 2: For the game, they kind of seemed like they were

1250
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 2: cutting up a lot.

1251
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: So I had someone tell me, I won't call them out,

1252
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: but somebody tell me that they were a little worried

1253
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: in the first game that they saw Mark Pope before

1254
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: the game and they were like, he's tenser than he

1255
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: normally is. And then they said, tonight he looked like

1256
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: the Mark Pope that we've seen most of the season.

1257
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: He just had a looser feel to him. I'd be interested.

1258
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: I almost asked him that, and then I was like, well,

1259
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't want him to know who told me this,

1260
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: so Ali, but I wonder what that was because he

1261
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: did seem very loose before.

1262
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: The game, and without really being among him and close

1263
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: to him, he don't really know what they're going through.

1264
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: But it did seem like they were out there to

1265
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: have a lot more fun. It didn't feel a lot

1266
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 2: of pressure like some teams do. And I think that's

1267
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,919
Speaker 2: why it was what it was. Illinois led with five

1268
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 2: to four and then it was that was it.

1269
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: So uh Amari Williams told that they told this story

1270
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: that apparently he you know, he's he's British and he

1271
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: eat what's what's the name of the weed to bix?

1272
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: So I guess he eats something called weed a bix

1273
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: When he was growing up, it was it looked to

1274
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: me like it was like shredded wheat, you know, the

1275
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: cereal shredded wheat, but it's called weed a bix. And uh,

1276
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: I guess he had toast before the first game and

1277
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: he buys it in Lexington weed to bix at some

1278
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: international grocery store. But when he was up here, they

1279
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't have weed to bix and they thought Amari had

1280
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: not given as much effort in the first game because

1281
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: he didn't have his wheet to bix, so they sent

1282
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: a manager to go get whatever weed a bix is.

1283
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: It's like a British shredded wheat cereal, and I guess

1284
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: they found it at some store here in Milwaukee. They

1285
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: brought him weed a bix. He apparently it's cereal. He

1286
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: apparently eats the cereal with hot milk, so not cold milk.

1287
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: He was like, you Americans use cold milk on cereal.

1288
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: We use warm milk. So they got the hotel, Saint

1289
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: Kate Art's Hotel shout out, you've been good to us

1290
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: this trip. They got them to make warm milk, and

1291
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: Mark Pope and Brandon Garrison and Amari Williams. I guess

1292
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: they decided in unison to eat wheata bix and to

1293
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: get Amari to tell the story. Mark Pope was like,

1294
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: I want to get you an nil deal, tell the story,

1295
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: and I will bet you between now and Friday something

1296
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: wheat to bix and Amari Williams is gonna happen, definitely.

1297
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 2: I Like, someone asked how it tastes, and Mary's like,

1298
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't taste that good. And Pope went no, no,

1299
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 2: say that again. He goes, Actually it's outstanding, looking right

1300
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 2: at the camera. So, like I said, that was part

1301
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 2: of them being fun and goofy. I felt good. Talked

1302
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 2: to English breakfast with the Mari last summer, so I'm

1303
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: glad breakfast is a big part of his routine.

1304
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about cereal and warm milk?

1305
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: I think it sounds absolutely disgusting because.

1306
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if somebody in Lexington wants to

1307
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: bring some wheat to Bix to the bar day Tuesday

1308
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: at the show, I would love to see some warm

1309
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 1: wheat to bixs cereal on Tuesday.

1310
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: And it's not like the cereal rod eats that's in

1311
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: a box and it's got a little word search on

1312
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 2: the back. It's like a brick that you actually have

1313
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 2: to break up into pieces.

1314
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think its wheats off.

1315
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: But well, first of it's not for loops.

1316
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: You'll have to branch out.

1317
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: We're in Lexington, they said, do we We don't have

1318
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: a British grocery.

1319
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he gets it in like, I don't

1320
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: think he's had it in like a long time, and

1321
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 2: that's why.

1322
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he hasn't had it. I don't think he's had.

1323
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 2: They found it somewhere around here.

1324
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: So Milwaukee got him the wheat to bis and the

1325
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: warm milk.

1326
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 2: So but on a mari another coast to coast dunk.

1327
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I know he was missing every layup in

1328
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: the beginning the game. We were ripping our hair out.

1329
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 2: But that was fun to watch him when he turned.

1330
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: It was, by the way, I just had our friend

1331
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: Jamie Shambari just said she just ordered weed to Bis

1332
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: from Amazon. I wonder if they're gonna see like this

1333
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: huge in sales in Kentucky and be like, what is

1334
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: going on in Kentucky right now?

1335
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, no, but I know I'll probably it's wheet a

1336
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 2: bis w E E T A b I X.

1337
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: Well before the game in India, he better have.

1338
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 3: Just we'll just light it up breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

1339
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: Let me meet it all right, I got four more.

1340
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: Just let me give you a quick schedule tomorrow. We're gonna

1341
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: be wherever we stop on the interstate tonight, Uh, probably

1342
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in in uh maybe maybe somewhere between Chicago and Indianapolis.

1343
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where we're gonna end up stopping. Tuesday,

1344
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: we will be at ks Bar. Wednesday, we will be

1345
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: at Sweet sixteen. Thursday, we will be at ks Bar.

1346
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: Not sure what we're doing yet Friday, because I'm going

1347
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: to Opening Day Thursday after the show as well. Opening Day.

1348
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: That's I'm hoping they're playing. If I get up there

1349
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: and it's two more teams, I'm going to be very

1350
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: disappointed if that happens. Four more. Who's next, Danny, Danny,

1351
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: go ahead, Danny.

1352
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 13: Yeah. I was thinking about a Mari Williams. Why does

1353
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 13: he miss so many shots down low? He acts like

1354
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 13: he's a guard. He should dunk some of those. Uh

1355
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 13: think about what how the points spread could have been

1356
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 13: with him, you know, making better decisions.

1357
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: You know, we won.

1358
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 13: Though I do, I do, and we lost games throughout

1359
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 13: the year because.

1360
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. The Cats are in the Sweet sixteen.

1361
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a little slow Star on layups.

1362
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 2: They figured it out. They're only six per tent at halftime.

1363
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 2: It felt worse, but it was six or ten.

1364
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, he missed layups and he does need to

1365
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: do better at that. I thought he played a great

1366
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: second half. I thought he was actually I thought he

1367
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: actually had a really poor first half. But I actually

1368
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: thought He played a great second half.

1369
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 3: He had a pass where he saw it and Kobe

1370
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 3: Brad should have cut to the basket because Amario laid

1371
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 3: it in there just perfect bread though didn't make the cut.

1372
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 3: I mean they have that vision like he's a point guard.

1373
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 3: Was pretty amazing to watch that.

1374
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 2: He still hit Brey on one later in the game,

1375
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 2: though he did.

1376
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Our friend Tall wanted me to tell you, Drew he

1377
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: we are three and oh when he wears his Snoopy

1378
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Kentucky shirt? All right, and snoopy shirt he has his

1379
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: shirt Kentucky is a Kentucky shirt with Snoopy, which I

1380
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: feel like it's one of the many ridiculous shirts he wears.

1381
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 1: But we're three and oh with that shirt Snoopy going.

1382
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: He didn't wear it for the Friday SEC Tournament game

1383
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: and we all lost. So we're three and oh in

1384
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: the postseason with the Snoopy shirt. You're telling me we

1385
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: could have won the SEC. We could have won the

1386
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: SEC Tournament. Tall, I expect the Snoopy shirt on Friday.

1387
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Who's next, Matt?

1388
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 12: Matt, go ahead and Matt, how you doing, mister Jones,

1389
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 12: I just want to say gold, big blue, and it's

1390
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 12: feel great. To be back in the Sweet sixteen. Been

1391
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 12: a few years since we made it out of so

1392
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 12: we made some noise. Coach Pope, welcome, welcome home, team,

1393
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 12: stay tough, playing.

1394
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Hard, appreciate the call. Now do we do? Do we

1395
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: get a huge crowd in there in Indy? Absolutely?

1396
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 3: I think it'll be a massive crowd, But I think

1397
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Perdue will also have massive crowds.

1398
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: With the price is right now they get in because

1399
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: that's a big arena too. Area has a lot of tickets.

1400
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: What do we what do we think it's gonna be?

1401
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Someone said they're doing at the Football Stadium. I wouldn't

1402
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: think that'd be the case. Is that accurate? They don't

1403
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: usually do the Final Four at the Football Statement at

1404
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: the Football States.

1405
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised that I could have been lied to.

1406
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: But it'll still be a tough ticket. You know, Tennessee,

1407
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: they're excited. They probably don't love seeing Kentucky in the

1408
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: way because we love to remind them that they don't

1409
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 2: have a Final four and we can knock them out

1410
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 2: before they get a chance to play for that. But

1411
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: I think they'll travel well. And Perdue being right down

1412
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 2: the street, it right now the get in price, it

1413
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 2: looks like it is. It's at Lucas Oil.

1414
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hell, it is at the football stadium, so even

1415
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 1: though it is at the Okay, but they're not using

1416
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: the whole stadium.

1417
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, so.

1418
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: They're only using like, actually they're not they're using like

1419
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: a third of it. So it's probably twenty five thousand.

1420
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 3: Maybe probably somewhere like that.

1421
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: The get in price right now though, is two hundred

1422
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: and forty nine dollars to sit in Section six twenty eight.

1423
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 3: I suspect in the cheapest.

1424
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: Seed is in the lower level. Yeah, six hundred and

1425
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: fifty six dollars.

1426
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 2: You got that on your rine. Our buzzer beater cast

1427
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 2: we can use that.

1428
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 3: You did you want the buzzer beater in the timement?

1429
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: What? Three more? Two more? Who's next?

Speaker 23: you're like, yes, I can hear.

1447
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 23: But I want to give a shout out to my

1448

1453
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 23: the women come to Indianapolis they can't find their chew

1454
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 23: in tobacco.

1455
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: That made me laugh. I'm not gonna lie to you.

1456
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Well done, Dwayne. I appreciate Wayne.

1457
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 3: With the call of the night. He's gonna buy up

1458
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 3: all the times.

1459
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Are you gonna talk about Tennessee women and chewing tobacca

1460
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:56,400

Speaker 1: Every day?

1463
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 3: Because it's a fact. It happened. It's not I just

1464
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 3: didn't make it up. The Tennessee women chew tobacco and

1465
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 3: they spin it on your shoes. When you're at the

1466
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 3: football games, they spin on your shoes. Yes, you have

1467
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 3: to be careful you Tennessee women spit on your shoes. Yes,

1468
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 3: I kind of feel.

1469
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Like you haven't had that happen. Where is Shannon? Always

1470
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: wondering where did he go? We did lose Shannon Shannan.

1471
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 2: By the way, when I walk into this is like

1472
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 2: an elegant ballroom with chandeliers.

1473
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think you all to be up here. Yeah,

1474
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that woman goes you all are staying here,

1475
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: aren't you? And I went, no, Well, I'm a Hilton

1476
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Rewards member. I'm an you think that's some of the

1477
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: bronze Hilton member. You think the Hiltonwards members? Okay, what

1478
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: we weren't supposed to say where we were. We're good,

1479
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: We're finished it, so it doesn't matter what MOREJ CJ?

1480
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: How are you? CJ?

1481
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 7: I'm good.

1482
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: Guys.

1483
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 20: Damn, that's a tough shoes to follow for for Dwayne.

1484
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: But I've got a.

1485
01:04:54,760 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 20: Couple of things. One, I'm trying to figure out of

1486
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 20: way to explain to my girlfriend why it's justified for

1487
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 20: me to be up and pacing and shouting and waving

1488
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 20: my arms around like a crazy person when I watch

1489
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 20: these UK games. And then the other the other thing

1490
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 20: is is when well, let you all.

1491
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Remember a time you speak to Let me speak to

1492
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: your girlfriend on that. Okay, ask your second question, and

1493
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: then I'll finish the show by speaking to your girlfriend.

1494
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead, all right, all right, all right, all right.

1495
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 20: My other question for you guys is, can you all

1496
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 20: remember a time where there's a there's a possibility of

1497
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 20: there being the all four final four teams being SEC teams.

1498
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 16: There there's a there's a.

1499
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Road for that happening. Has that ever happened before? Yeah?

1500
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean the Big East had three in eighty five.

1501
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't I appreciate the call. I'm not sure that.

1502
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that another conference has ever had three.

1503
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: The ACC may have had three one time, but it

1504
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: does not happen very often. Rarely happens with two. That

1505
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: happens a decent amount. But now you guys a chance

1506
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: to get three. As far as the final thing to

1507
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: your girlfriend, who's like why asking her boyfriend? Why are

1508
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: you pacing around acting like a lunatic? You know, I

1509
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: thought about this while I was standing in the bank

1510
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: lobby with the guy telling people not to go to

1511
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: the bathroom on a Sunday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You knows,

1512
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: as society moves on, we get more and more like

1513
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: in our own worlds. These phones put us like in

1514
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: our own individual life where we can choose to focus

1515
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: on things and the person that lives next to us

1516
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: has no idea what we do. We don't watch the

1517
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: same TV shows, We don't d you know, we don't

1518
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: listen to the same music, we don't see the same movies.

1519
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,439
Speaker 1: A lot of the community aspect of life that was there,

1520
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: like even when I was a kid, just isn't there

1521
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: is as much as any anymore. We all kind of

1522
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: live in our own spaces. But I think that does

1523
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: make it to when there's something collective that it's even

1524
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: more beautiful. When there's something that binds people together that

1525
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: is greater than them, it becomes even more beautiful. And

1526
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: the best thing about Kentucky basketball to me, it's not winning,

1527
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: even though it's great to win. It's not the talent,

1528
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: it's not any of this. It is a community. What

1529
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: has been difficult the last few years is everybody knows

1530
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: that the community part of this just hasn't felt the

1531
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: same in the last few years, it just hasn't the

1532
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: community aspect of Big Blue Nation. It just hasn't felt

1533
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: quite as coherent. And along comes Mark Pope, who understands

1534
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: the community part of it better than any coach we've

1535
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: ever had. Remains to be seen if he'll be as

1536
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,439
Speaker 1: good a winner as these other people will. I think

1537
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: he can be. We'll see. But when it comes to

1538
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,760
