1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody.

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. The

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 2: Cats get a massive win at home tonight, hobbled, barely

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: able to put forth a team at the end, and

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: still find a way to get a victory against Tennessee,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: sweeping the season series seventy five sixty four.

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: You know this is for me.

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: This is one of the better wins we've had in

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 2: the last few years for a variety of reasons.

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: One is it's against Tennessee.

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Tennessee's obviously top five. Kentucky breaks an all time record

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: for most wins against top fifteen ranked opponents in the.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: History of the school.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: We've never had seven in the regular season, and we

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: have seven this year.

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Now, that's in part because we.

17
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: Usually don't play enough for these teams to get there,

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: but seven and one against top fifteen teams this year,

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: and that's.

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: An unbelievable accomplishment.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: This team is very unpredictable, but one thing you can

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: predict pretty certainly is they show up in these games

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: against top teams and they play well, and tonight they

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: get the victory over the Balls the fifth time in

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: the last six games they've beaten Tennessee and they do

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: it in front of a rock as home environment. We

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: talked when we heard the snow was coming, what's rock

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: gonna be like? I could tell at the bar before

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: when it was extremely.

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Crowded that it was gonna be great.

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: And then the arena, you know, we talk about ESPN

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: and where they placed the microphones, well, wherever they placed

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: them to night. It was loud, and a big kudos

34
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: to everybody that went there for what sounded like an

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: absolutely awesome atmosphere. For me, this game is there's a

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: lot of people to talk about. Actually, this was sort

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: of the epitome of a team win team. I would

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: say almost everyone that played played really well. And there's

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: maybe one person I wouldn't say that about, but you

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: know what, I'm not gonna call him out because I

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: want to be positive about all the people that did

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: play well, because I thought there was just so much

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: good that occurred. Obviously, don't have Jackson Robinson's start, You

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: lose Lamont Butler with eight or nine.

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Minutes to go.

46
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Obviously Kerr's not playing, and car is still not even

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: close to one hundred percent.

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: And then these other guys just decided, you.

49
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: Know what, we're not losing this one, and I want

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: to go through the people that I thought had the

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: biggest impact. I'll start with actually Kobe Brea because his

52
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: threes at the end. You know, when you don't have

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Robinson or Butler, you lose basically your two primary offense starters.

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: And so it's you know, how are you going to

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: get the offense going well with Kobe Brea? You know,

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: he's such a good shooter. Just how about step back threes?

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Two step back threes down the stretch. Game was tied.

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: He hits two in the next three plays, and then

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: after they crowd out of him, he drives the basket

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: and throws a lob to away. I thought, offensively, this

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 2: was maybe as good a game as Bray has played completely,

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: you know against Florida. Obviously had seven made threes, but

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: he did a bunch of stuff. He drove to the rim.

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: I thought Kobe was great, you know, the two kids

65
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: from Kentucky, Like, I mean, that's gonna be what most

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: people remember this game, and they should. Trent Noah eleven points,

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: three threes, you know, drove to the basket, played pretty

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: good defense, rebounded, hit free throws. I mean, what a

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: game by the Mountain Mamba, And all due respect to

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: my man Mark Pope, who I love, I'm not doing Hollerballer,

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm doing Mountain Mamba.

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: That's the name.

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: He seems to like it, and the fans have clearly

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: embraced it. And that kid, you talk about a kid

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: that has grown into feeling confident. What I love about

76
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: Noah is he believes not only he belongs out there,

77
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: he's not scared. His third three he knew Jay Bill

78
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: has pointed this out. He knew before he.

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Caught it he was gonna take it.

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: And so much of a kid like that is about

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: do you believe you should be there? And he does,

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: and he just keeps getting better. I thought he was

83
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: huge tonight. Travis Perry. You know, Perry's got some limits

84
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: on defense, but he keeps like getting closer, closer and

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: closer on defense, and then makes two threes, each of

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: which were huge, not scared.

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I love that about both those guys because the.

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: Deficiencies they have, some of them they won't be able

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: to overcome, but some of them they will. And until then,

90
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: keeping the confidence, you gotta like it. And to have

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: those two guys combined, did no I have eleven or thirteen.

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Now in my head, I'm thinking he had eleven.

93
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so to combine eleven points for him, six for Parry,

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: you tell me before the game we get seventeen from

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: those two guys, eight from Perry, nineteen from those two guys.

96
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Come on, that's huge.

97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: I thought the most important play of the game was

98
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: Ansley Almanor. We're down three, we're reeling. We're really not

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: getting a lot of space on offense, We're really not

100
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: getting a lot of movement. And he goes off the

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: bouts and gets an an one that to me was

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: the most important play of the game. Stop their run.

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: He makes the free throw ties the game, and we

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: really kind of take over from there. When you go

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: back and I will watch the last eight minutes of

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: this game again. Ansley Olmonor's play I thought was the

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: most important play, and it wasn't a three. It was

108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: him taking off the bounce thought that was thought that

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: was huge. Amari was good in the role. He kind

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: of does that top of the key thing. He also

111
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: had a huge and one down the stretch in the

112
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: second half. You know, I still find myself Billy a no, no, no,

113
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: yes when he shoots sometimes but that was a big one.

114
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: I think that put us up two. He got a name.

115
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: What he missed the free throw maybe put us up three,

116
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: But big play there by him as well. Oway Otaga

117
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Away has hit double digits in every game this year,

118
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: every game, every game. That is an unbelievable statistic for

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: that kid. Like every game he is twenty four for

120
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: twenty four. Let me just give you a little perspective.

121
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: The last Kentucky player to go twenty four games in

122
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 2: a row in double digits with Malik Monk.

123
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: That dude was pretty good.

124
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: You know how much I loved Antonio Reeves. And Antonio

125
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: Reeves obviously could go for thirty and could do things

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: that were amazing. But you know how many games he

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: had in double digits last year. I remember he was

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: like second team All American twenty three. Oway already has

129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: more than Antonio Reeves had in the regular season. That's crazy,

130
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: that's crazy, And it's between ten and seventeen every game.

131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: But you can rely on it, you can book it.

132
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: And I thought he I thought he played great defense,

133
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: like he was excellent on defense, and he especially with

134
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Butler Robinson out, he's our best defender now.

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: And I thought he did an excellent job as well.

136
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: So and Butler, by the way, until he got hurt,

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: played great. Butler had some huge drives to the basket

138
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: there early in the second half. I thought Butler was

139
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: excellent until he got reinjured. So massive win. Tucky's now

140
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: seventeen and six, right, They now are in the top

141
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: eight in the SEC. And this win and other results

142
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: kind of make it to where you know, if they'd

143
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: handle their business, they'll get in the top eight. They

144
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: have a chance, I think, to get all the way

145
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: to number four or five if they handle their business

146
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: down the stretch. Obviously, sweeping Tennessee is great, but this

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: team starting to find their rhythm, and you know it's

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: gonna be a piecemeal performance for the next couple weeks.

149
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: I was excited to hear Pope say that Jackson, Robinson

150
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: and Lamont Butler he thought would be ready for March.

151
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: That's good, but he also seemed to suggest they might

152
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: not be ready the.

153
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: Next couple weeks.

154
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: Well, we've got some winnable games, but they're games that

155
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: are not guarantees.

156
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: We go to Texas. Now, Texas is struggling.

157
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: Right now, they're getting I think they're getting whipped by Alabama.

158
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: Arkansas beat them at home. They lost to Vandy like

159
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: they're on a slide. So that's a game that if

160
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: we were at full health now I think we'd win,

161
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: but with this group, it's gonna be a struggle. Then

162
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: we play Vandy at home. We gotta win that one

163
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: that's at home. I don't know who's gonna be playing,

164
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: but that's at home. And then we got Bama. We

165
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: go to Bama the next week. The way I look

166
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: at it is, if you could find a way to

167
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: win these next two, the Bama game is free, but

168
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: then we're gonna have to piece it together and then

169
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: maybe when we get to the final stretch, play Auburn,

170
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: go to Missouri, go to Oklahoma. We may end up

171
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: at that point having our full roster. And I still

172
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: think in March anything can happen with this group in March,

173
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: and I think they can lose to anybody, but I

174
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: also think they can beat anybody. Like nobody scares me

175
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: with this group. They you know they have a way.

176
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: And was seven minutes to go. This game was tied,

177
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: and all signs indicated we were in trouble. We really

178
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: didn't have guys to create offense.

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Our best defenders were hurt.

180
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: We seem to be kind of out of sorts, and

181
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: then the next thing you know, they end up winning

182
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: by eleven. So big shout out to the team, big

183
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: shout out to Pope, big shout out to that crowd.

184
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Who I think played a huge, huge role in the victory. Eight.

185
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven. It is another happy win.

186
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: What a year. Seriously, what a year this has been

187
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: for Kentucky. I not only have I enjoyed it, this

188
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: is this is what we all kind of hope for

189
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: when we got Mark Pope and I maybe could have

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: guessed we'd be seventeen and seven.

191
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: But I certainly don't think I would have guessed it.

192
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 2: With two wins over Tennessee, a win over Duke, went

193
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: over Gonzaga. I don't know, man, this has been a

194
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: heck of a run and hopefully it will continue. We'll

195
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: take a break if I'm nine two eight oh twenty

196
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. Nice Tuesday night with a sweep over

197
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: the balls. This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Post

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: game show, walker Back. It is the Local Toy Dealers

199
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: KSR Post game show. Ef I'm nine two eight oh

200
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: two seven seven four five two five four.

202
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: Let me give you a couple from the text machine.

203
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: But first before I do that, if you're at home

204
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: and you're sitting there going what can I watch? If

205
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: if you most of you probably have the CBS Sports Network,

206
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: you should turn on. It's a great environment. Yukon is

207
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: playing Creighton. Yukon's up three. It's at Creighton. Creighton had

208
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: dollar Beer night Billy so that their fans would be ready,

209
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: so it is. It is wild and Yukon's player Liam McNeely,

210
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: who we recruited here at Kentucky, is just going off.

211
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: I mean he's like, I think he's got like twenty

212
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: eight points and he's talking trash to a drunk crowd

213
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: and it's it's actually quite an environment. So that's on

214
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: the CBS Sports Network. On the text machine, one person writes, Matt,

215
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna compare Pope to col forever, but I

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: do think we can say in the last five years we.

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Lose that game. Yeah, that's probably true.

218
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: I mean it's tough because we lost to Cow so

219
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: it's hard to kind of do that whole thing a lot.

220
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 2: But I do think this was like, this was a

221
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: grinded out kind of game that I think may end

222
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: up being. You know, Pope, you know we lost a

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: game like this at Vandy, but I feel like we

224
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: almost got it back tonight. Because the Bandy game was

225
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: a grinded out game that we should have won. This

226
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 2: was probably a grinded out game that we should have lost,

227
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: and we end up kind of splitting them. So I

228
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: think that works out. I think that works out pretty well.

229
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: One person rights Matt. The substitution pattern I saw you

230
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: didn't like, but I thought it was great. Good coaching

231
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: by Pope. Well, I mean, I listen, you can't say

232
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: anything bad about the bench because they play. I mean,

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: how many points did the bench have? You had, you know,

234
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: nineteen between Noah and Perry. I guess Almonor is technically

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: a starter, but I kind of went six twenty six

236
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: from the bench and that's not even counting how many

237
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: Almonor have twelve fourteen something like that. Thirteen. Yeah, and

238
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: I consider him a bench player even though he's starting.

239
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: So the only thing I don't like I don't like

240
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: when he I don't like that at the start like

241
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: four minutes into the first and second half. I don't

242
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: like that he puts all the reserves in it once.

243
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that does them justice. And I think

244
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: we see that when they play with other starters, they're

245
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: better off. You know, that's a nitpick. We won, so

246
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: like he might say that the reason they had so

247
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: much energy at the end is because he done it.

248
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: He did that, So there you go. If I'm nine

249
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: two eight twenty two eighty seven, U con this would

250
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: be a big win for them if they get on

251
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: the road. They've been struggling. Danny Hurley is doing all

252
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: he can not to lose his mind there in Omaha. Yeah,

253
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: he made his jacket into like a straight jacket right there.

254
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: Who's up first, Tyler? Tyler? Go ahead, Tyler.

255
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: Hey, Matt, we're driving back from the game. Had a

256
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: great time at the game.

257
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 4: I was just kind of came to me when we

258
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: were watching.

259
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: I know you're not big on.

260
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: Team nicknames, but I was wondering what you thought about

261
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 3: the Unpredictables.

262
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: For somebody sent me that. Maybe it was you.

263
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: Somebody sent me that tonight, And I don't think that's

264
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: a bad name, but you know, I don't.

265
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't do names. Mountain Mamba I took because it

266
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: was like the moment I.

267
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: Heard it, it was good besides that, but yeah, but

268
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: the ones I've heard because they are unpredictable to be on. Right.

269
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, that's it.

270
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Thank you man. Uh let me.

271
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: But you were gonna say something, Bill you you said,

272
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: uh and I wasn't at the game, but you said

273
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: there was a halftime show that was that was awesome?

274
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah?

275
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 6: I don't know what you call it, but it is awesome.

276
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 6: Drew Franklin posted a video of it, and it's this

277
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 6: woman on her back using her feet to bounce a

278
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 6: basketball on a contraption that then then puts it in

279
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 6: at hoop. So it's like it's a it's something, I'll

280
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 6: give you that.

281
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: So he puts it in a use it. She's dribbling

282
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: with her feet.

283
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know the old like machine you put a

284
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 6: penny into the slot and then you got to jiggle

285
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 6: it and have the penny land on the slot below

286
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 6: it like it's usually at like taco bell or something

287
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: like that.

288
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll take.

289
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 6: That in reverse. And she was on a on her

290
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 6: back and bounced a basketball up until it went into

291
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: a hoop. I'm probably doing a poor job explaining this,

292
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: but Drew, Yeah, yeah, it's something.

293
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: To look at that. Your your description is really bad.

294
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: But but I bet it will I bet it will be

295
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: interesting when I actually see it.

296
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: Who's up next?

297
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 6: Michael is?

298
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: Michael?

299
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead? And Michael, Hey Man, how are you doing?

300
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 7: Man?

301
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: Doing great? Uh?

302
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: So tonight Rupperena was amazing. I got a chance to

303
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: take my daughter with me. It's been a little while

304
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: since we got to see a game, and she just

305
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: had a blast. And so she loved Oway watching him play.

306
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: Was just jumping up and down, and uh, she knows

307
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: her dear old Dad's big blue fan. And my energy

308
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: went went a little bit down when Butler got hurt.

309
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when Butler went.

310
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: And got hurt, I sat down for a little bit

311
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: and was just she knew. She just felt it because

312
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: she watched me during the Arkansas game and I was

313
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: furious for darkness and went in just to talk to you.

314
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: But h No, the game was amazing. Uh, the place

315
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: was just rocking. And to watch Noah do what he

316
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: did tonight, I was just proud of him. And it

317
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: was great seeing some Kentucky players step up. But my

318
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: daughter actually has a question for you as you go

319
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: for it.

320
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, Hey, I was just wondering why you.

321
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: Were not the game. Yeah.

322
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't go to most of the games.

323
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: I think I get a too nervous, and now the

324
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: media seats are kind of terrible, so I watch it

325
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: at home.

326
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: But I'm glad you were there for me.

327
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, and I go to the games when

328
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: we go to the SEC tournament in NCAA, I'll be

329
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: it there, but appreciate the call.

330
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad glad you guys had fun.

331
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me say one of things I like about

332
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: Trent Noah's game. I don't think this is a fluke. Right.

333
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: So over the years, we've had Kentucky kids who have

334
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: had moments where like something crazy happens, Like Preston Lamaster

335
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: had that game where he's scored like twenty against Old

336
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: miss If. Dante Allen had.

337
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: A couple of games.

338
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: And then there were times that guys played Dominie Hawkins

339
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 2: and Derek Willis. I thought we're good players, but they

340
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: would have games where they just kind of went nuts.

341
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: I actually think Dominique and Derek probably don't deserve to

342
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: be on this list, but but I feel like with

343
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: Trent Noah, this is the start of him being a

344
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: really good player.

345
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: You know who. I think he's gonna be for us.

346
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: Really, I think he's gonna be like that kid from Clemson,

347
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: the one that we can't figure out.

348
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: Oh you know what I mean. I think he's gonna

349
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: be that for us. I think he's gonna be like

350
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: that kid.

351
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 2: That kid's really good. I mean that kid took Clemson

352
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: to a final eight. He had twenty rebounds against us.

353
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: He beat Duke the other night, Like, and you go,

354
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: why is this kid so good? I kind of think

355
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: that's gonna be Trent Noah. Like Trent's a better shooter

356
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 2: than that kid. That kid's a little stronger than Trent is.

357
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: But I think we're.

358
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: Gonna be looking back, and I wonder if he's gonna

359
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: be like I can't remember that kid's name.

360
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: It starts with an as his last name. But I

361
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of think.

362
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 2: He's got a little of those vibes in him because

363
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: I think I think that I think Trance could be

364
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: really good. I think Travis is gonna be good too,

365
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: But Travis is always gonna have some defensive limitations. I

366
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: think Trance got a chance to be really, really good

367
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: if things connect for it.

368
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Who's up next, Nate? Go ahead and Nate, all right,

369
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: here we go.

370
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 9: I'm gonna start off by Danny Hurley getting squirrely. Uhuh.

371
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 9: So we're talking about nicknames. Also, if we had a

372
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 9: third kid, I would reach out to call them fluffy.

373
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 9: You remember Harry Potter, the three headed dog. Those boys

374
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 9: got doggy tonight. So I was trying to call in

375
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 9: earlier on the postgame show or the pregame show to

376
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 9: talk about what Robinson needed to or what we needed

377
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 9: to do with Robinson being out. However, I figured you

378
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 9: all would say something about Bread needed to come through

379
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 9: for a good game or car.

380
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's what Ryan said, and and Ryan, I

381
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: mean Brayan. Look, we might have won anyway, but those

382
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: two threes hit were massive because we really weren't able

383
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: to get any shots off and he didn't need to

384
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: run offense.

385
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: He just stepped farther back and made two threes.

386
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 9: Then after that, I was gonna say, whoever thought that

387
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 9: Kentucky Fellows would come in combined for nineteen I want

388
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 9: to hear what you all have to say about that,

389
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 9: and nobody let's just keep going.

390
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, nobody, I appreciate the call. I mean,

391
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: I h yeah, nobody would have thought that. I mean,

392
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: they made five threes between the two of them. You know,

393
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: when Noah hit those free throws, Billy, that was I mean,

394
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: we were only up three, right, Noah's free throws made

395
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: it five.

396
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 6: Those were his first free throws.

397
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: Those first throws the year. Yeah, that's a tough that's

398
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: a tough spot to come in and shoot your first

399
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: free throws of the year. And then he nailed them.

400
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, thirty two points from Noah, Almanor and Perry.

401
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: That that's awesome.

402
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really awesome. And again Almonor started, but

403
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: I still consider I mean, think about it, at the

404
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, what Almonor, Perry and Noah what

405
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 2: were Okay, So when we started this year, we had

406
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: the starting five. Bray was the sixth man, Kerr was

407
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: probably the seventh, right, the eighth was what Garrison, and

408
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: so you probably had all Minor was the ninth man,

409
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: Noah the tenth, and what Perry the eleventh. So if

410
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: I tell you that we're gonna play a top five

411
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee team in February, and our ninth, tenth, and eleventh

412
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 2: men are gonna combine.

413
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: For thirty two points.

414
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty awesome, and that says a lot

415
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 2: about how Pope believes in those guys and really, you know,

416
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: builds them up.

417
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: Who's next, Thomas.

418
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: Thomas, Go ahead, Thomas, Well, I'm gonna build on that.

419
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 10: Because we were screaming, play your best five, Pope, play

420
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 10: your best five.

421
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: Well, but the best five tonight? Yeah, the best five tonight, though, wasn't.

422
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Noah was one of the best five tonight, right.

423
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 2: I mean when I was saying playing the best, I

424
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: think I tweeted out something like play your best guys.

425
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Part of that was I didn't love the minutes we

426
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: were giving Chandler in that moment. But then the other

427
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: part of it was I just don't like when he

428
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: doesn't play when he plays all those guys together. But

429
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: with that said, I thought Noah was one of our

430
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: best five tonight. So he I mean, he was in

431
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: it down the stretch like he should have been.

432
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 8: Well, we didn't until he got in the game and

433
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 8: did what he did.

434
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: So I'm loving that.

435
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: That's true. If you'd asked me before the game.

436
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: If you had asked me before the game, I would

437
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: not have wanted You're right, go ahead.

438
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: What'd you say?

439
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: Wouldn't you hate to play Kentucky right now?

440
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 11: If you were anybody else, wouldn't you hate you don't

441
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 11: know what you're gonna get?

442
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. I think what would be hard is

443
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna get.

444
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: So like if you were playing right now, you'd go,

445
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: why couldn't we get the team that was down twenty

446
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: seven at Old Miss? Why are we getting the team

447
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 2: that's beating us like in our place. You're right because

448
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: you would have no idea going in the game what

449
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna get.

450
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 8: And Brandon Garrison is the big question mark for me.

451
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: I love me too, I agree, Yeah, I don't. Garrison

452
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 2: is my and I appreciate the call. Garrison is my

453
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: biggest concern because we're gonna get Butler and Robinson back,

454
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: So like in other let's say we had when Butler

455
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: and Robinson come back, let's say Noah Perry almanor let's

456
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: say they're not playing well, like, we'll be all right,

457
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: but we're gonna have to play Garrison. He's gonna have

458
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: to be a Mary's backup, a Marius foul prone. And

459
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: he's just a really bad defender. Like, he's a really

460
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: bad defender, and I feel like he's gotten worse defensively. Offensively,

461
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: he can give you some stuff, He's just a really

462
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: bad defender. And you know, I actually think because Noah's

463
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: gotten better on defense, Travis Perry's.

464
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: Gotten a little better, all Manoor's got.

465
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: I feel like he Garrison is our biggest weakest weakness

466
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: defensively right now. And when he comes in he just

467
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 2: gets exploited. So they just put him in a pick

468
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: and roll and you know it just doesn't it kills us.

469
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: And so I do worry about Garrison. But the thing is,

470
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: you know Garrison had Garrison had fifteen the other night,

471
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,239
Speaker 2: So like he can make up for some of that

472
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: because he can hit shots.

473
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: And sometimes finished. But his defense does worry me.

474
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: Three though he.

475
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: Will and I want him to.

476
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: He made one, I think tonight, right, But but just defensively,

477
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: it's tough. I mean, Amari sometimes drives me crazy when

478
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 2: he doesn't raise his arms, but he slides his feet

479
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: and he can recover and get blocks. Garrison is he's

480
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: also slow, or at least he is slow watterly. But

481
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: go ahead, Jacob, Jacob, go ahead, Jacob.

482
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 12: Hey Matt coming home from the game, I think that

483
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 12: Butler really set the tone for the game with that

484
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 12: first that first steal and lay up. I think that

485
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 12: really at the tone.

486
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: That the crowd going. And he had another big steal

487
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: in the second half. He had another big steel on

488
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: the second half. I think the game was like three,

489
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: and they it looked like they had a layup.

490
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: That was gonna make it one.

491
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: He steals it and then goes down there and gets

492
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: a layup on the other end and it goes from

493
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: three to five.

494
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: I thought that was a big play.

495
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

496
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 12: Yeah. One of the things that Pope really hit on

497
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 12: in his postgame interview was talking about uh the improvement

498
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 12: in uh Noah and Bray especially, and I just wanted

499
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 12: to kind of echo that. One of the things I

500
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 12: think Perry had at two threes, I believe, but the

501
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 12: two pointer that he made that this little yeah, I

502
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 12: think that was I think that was almost more impressive

503
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 12: and it shows I think a little bit more of

504
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 12: a diversity in his game. I think he's getting better

505
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 12: that way. And then of course Noah's.

506
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, he's not scared to do it right, like like

507
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: anybody that saw that kid play in high school.

508
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's so he wasn't scared in high school.

509
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: Neither was Trent Noah.

510
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: But sometimes when guys like that get to college and

511
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: they're seeing a different level of athlete, they'll shy away

512
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: and like in Perry's case, maybe only shoot threes. Seeing

513
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 2: him take that drive, I'm with you, sir, I thought,

514
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: look the fact that he'll take a running drive into

515
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: a defender off in Banket make it or not.

516
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: I liked that he's willing to take that shot.

517
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

518
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 12: And then finally Oway had a great game and the

519
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 12: chant finally caught on.

520
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you caught it.

521
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: Finally I heard it. Yeah, it came through that it

522
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: came through. Yeah, it was loud. It was loud about

523
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: doing it. Appreciate the call. I shout out to whoever

524
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: got that going. I've been waiting all year, Billy for

525
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: the way oh way away.

526
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Chant sounded good on there, it was. I thought it

527
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: sounded great on TV. Well it was. It was awesome.

528
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 2: All Right, We're gonna take a break A five nine

529
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

530
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: Be right back. It's the Local Toy Dealers KSR post

531
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: game show. Working back.

532
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 2: It is a local Toy Dealer KSR postgame show. If

533
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: you're watching this Yukon game, I think you're seeing the

534
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: start of a star getting born. Here with the Liam

535
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: McNeely kid. He's got what thirty four right now in

536
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: this game? Uh, sixty five sixty two Yukon over Creighton.

537
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 2: He's got very he's got some lightner looks, you know. Ye,

538
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: he's got the headman, and he's talking trash and he

539
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: can dribble, and he's tall.

540
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: He's got some lightner.

541
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: Vibes to him. No, don't make another one. No, I

542
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: missed that one, all right. So, uh, you know, he

543
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: almost came here. It was down to Yukon and US.

544
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: I think if he had come, well, they saved a spot.

545
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: I think he was gonna be the thirteenth scholarship. It'd

546
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what happened if if he did

547
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: come here. A five nine h two eight oh twenty

548
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt. The thing I

549
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: love about our team is I think we're much tougher

550
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: than we were a couple of weeks ago, and that's

551
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: good to see. I agree with that. I think we

552
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: are much much tougher. I think we toughness was a

553
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: real issue. I thought, especially at the start of SEC play,

554
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: I just didn't think we were tough at all, and

555
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that has really really gotten

556
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 2: a lot better, a lot better. So yeah, eight, but nine, two, eight,

557
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: twenty two, eighty seven are who's up next?

558
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: Ryan? Ryan? Go ahead?

559
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 13: Ryan, Hey, Matt Hey, Billy, first time long come who

560
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 13: are Just got two quick comments. First of all, just

561
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 13: wanted to say I haven't been to too many UK games,

562
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 13: but that building was about to blow up. My voice

563
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 13: is gonna be raspy for three or four days. It's

564
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 13: so worth it.

565
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that. I mean, it certainly looked

566
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: like it from Afar. It seemed like it was. It was.

567
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: It was great.

568
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: I mean, I love watching RUP in a moment like

569
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: that is it is the best.

570
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 5: Yea, it was pretty nice.

571
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 13: Second comment, you may have mentioned something earlier in the show.

572
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 13: I didn't catch the first few minutes, but what you mentioned,

573
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 13: either on the pregame show or earlier today case are

574
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 13: about how we've seemed to stop over complicating defense and

575
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 13: just playing more straight up and not forcing to a

576
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 13: weak side or a strong side looked a lot better tonight,

577
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 13: and I thought we we stayed in front, played a

578
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 13: much more consistent type of defense, if that makes sense.

579
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: Part of me wonders if they're just if they've just

580
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: changed that, right like I do kind of wonder if

581
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: if they've just that was the way they were defending

582
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: and he's just gotten away from it, because they obviously

583
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: it felt like they changed that against South Carolina and

584
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: the same tonight.

585
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I that that was something.

586
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Apparently I missed this at halftime maybe of the Tennessee game,

587
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: the first one. Tom Crean pointed that out as a

588
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: weakness we were doing. I'm not sure, but uh, I

589
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: think I think we're not seeing the overplays like we were,

590
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: and that that looks like that might have been an adjustment.

591
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, I completely agree with that point. Definitely saw a

592
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 13: change in the South Carolina game. I just hope going

593
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 13: forward that's something we stick with.

594
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

595
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call, man, I know I keep bringing this up,

596
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: but dude, omaha, you know, except for that referee that lives,

597
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: there a lot of good things happen in Omaha. It

598
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: seems like, like, what do you know about Omaha?

599
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Billy?

600
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: You got the College World series, right, yeah, you got

601
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: the insurance company.

602
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the movie Nebraska?

603
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: No, I have really good movie.

604
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: You ought to see it. It's Will Forte.

605
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: His dad thinks his dad, I think, thinks he won

606
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: like a publisher's clearing house sweepstakes, and so he drives

607
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: him to Omaha, and like it's the whole thing. Yeah,

608
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: what are you laughing at? It's that riveting plot of ye,

609
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: but it's hard to describe, like it's like this, it's

610
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: not about the plot. It's like the maybe so maybe

611
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: like the halftime show. I've been to a Creighton game.

612
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: By the way their crowd gets it. I've been to

613
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: a Creighton game in Ohma. Their crowd goes wild. That's

614
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: a that's an underrated, really good crowd. We do you

615
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: know we played at Creighton? Did you know that was

616
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: that recent?

617
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: Or was that let's do a test. Can you remember

618
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: we played at Creighton?

619
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: No? We played at Creighton the year we went to

620
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: the n I T with Billy Gillespie, and I think

621
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: we won that year. I think we beat UNLV at

622
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: home with Perry Stevenson. That's when he flexed them bones.

623
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: Then we went I think we won at Creighton, and

624
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 2: then we lost at Notre Dame and that was the

625
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: game where Jody Meeks almost didn't come.

626
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Out for the second half.

627
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: So sounds like.

628
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: We have played a road game at Creighton. I don't

629
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: know if a lot of people remember that. Who's next, Kevin,

630
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

631
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Matt.

632
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 8: First of all, just want to say so appreciate you

633
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 8: everything you do for for UK. All the fans sometimes

634
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 8: missed the force for the trees with you, and I

635
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 8: just wish that was different. So, first of all, appreciate you.

636
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 8: Second of all, thank you very the observations from sort

637
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 8: of a macro perspective on the season that I think

638
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: is a hilarious paradigm ship. First thing is, you know, I,

639
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 8: along as well as a lot of other fans, criticize

640
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 8: Cal for the lack of SEC wins. But I think

641
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 8: a lot of fans would be willing to trade resting

642
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 8: our best players and maybe not representing ourselves the best

643
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 8: in the SEC tournament if it meant we would do

644
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 8: better in the NCAA tournament. And then yeah, You're probably

645
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 8: right about that.

646
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: The problem though is you don't know, Like, like, if

647
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: you tell me, okay, Matt, we sacrifice the SEC tournament

648
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: for the NCAA tournament and we get to the final

649
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: eight or whatever, like, then I agree with you. The

650
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: problem though, is when you sacrifice the SEC tournament and

651
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: then losing the first round of the NCAA tournament. You know,

652
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: I think that's what happened to Cal actually the last

653
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: couple of years a little bit. So the problem is

654
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: you don't know during the SEC tournament what's gonna happen

655
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: in the.

656
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 8: Next week, right, And obviously I'm operating on the sort

657
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 8: of the cute side of that, you know, to make

658
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 8: it interesting. But you know, second of all, preseason, we

659
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 8: probably would have just done. Everyone would have been okay

660
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 8: with a postseason win. And it's funny to see the

661
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 8: goalpost move consistently and consistently, you know, Pocus such a

662
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 8: victim of his own success. So it's gonna be interesting

663
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 8: to see how it closes out here on the season. Man,

664
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 8: I really appreciate you.

665
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate it well.

666
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you were if you were to have

667
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: told me when the season started that the SEC would

668
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: be as good as it was. Like, I knew the

669
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: SEC was gonna be good, but I didn't know it

670
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: was gonna be this good. Like I thought Alabama, Auburn,

671
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: and Tennessee were gonna be really good. I didn't think

672
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: Florida was gonna be as good as they are, and

673
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: they are. You know, A and M and Mississippi State

674
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: and Old Miss are better than I thought they'd be.

675
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: Missouri wash to eighteen last year in conference and they're

676
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: really good. You know, Oklahoma, even though they've struggled in

677
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: SEC play, was better than I thought. I mean, really,

678
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: if you look at the conference and you go, Okay,

679
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: who's disappointing? I mean, what like Texas is probably the

680
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: only team that has not been.

681
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: As good at Arkansas South Carolina.

682
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought they'd be bad. I thought they

683
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: were gonna be the worst team in the conference. Texas

684
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: and Arkansas are probably the only two teams in the

685
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: conference that are worse than we thought they'd be at

686
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: the start of the year. So if you had told

687
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: me the SEC was gonna be like it is and

688
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: we were gonna have a non conference schedule the way

689
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: we had, where Duke's probably better than people thought Louisville's

690
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: probably better than people thought. And you told me we'd

691
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: be seventeen and seven, I'd have been really happy. So

692
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna not be happy as it is now.

693
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: It's been a weird path there, but.

694
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: I just think I can't. We cannot under it.

695
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 2: In a normal SEC, Billy, the SEC we dealt with

696
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: in the last fifteen years, this team would.

697
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: Be nine and two in the SEC. Right now.

698
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: We're six and five. But we're not six and five

699
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: because we're worse. We're six and five because the SEC

700
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: is awesome this year.

701
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, and add on the fact that you're missing so

702
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 6: many players, some of your best scorer.

703
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: H that's Gigs, exactly right.

704
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: If we were fully healthy, you're probably I think we

705
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: win that Bandy game ifore fully healthy.

706
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: Was probably at least seven.

707
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: And four if we if we are fully healthy, So yeah,

708
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 2: you're exactly right. Who's next?

709
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: Butler?

710
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,759

723
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 10: lived down here in mccreek Anty. I've told you that,

724
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 10: you know what I call it in Yes, you said

725
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 10: it's not right for somebody to wear UK your every

726
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 10: single day, but I live literally ten minutes from the

727
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 10: Tennessee state line.

728
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: Yes, you do.

729
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 10: Fair and foul.

730
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty fair. It's fair. Oh, it's certainly fair now

731
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, I mean like you live.

732
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 2: See Okay, you live like you there are I don't

733
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: think people in the rest of the state who don't

734
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 2: live on the state line get it like you get it.

735
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: McCreary County's right there. Bell County, where I'm from, is

736
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: right there. There's some places down like I don't know

737
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 2: if if Hopkinsville is on the state line.

738
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: But it's right next to it. So like Franklin, Franklin, Kentucky.

739
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: I guess at Simpson County like those of us that

740
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: are on the state line, it's a little different, so

741
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: I know exactly.

742
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: What you deal with.

743
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I represent as much as I can. And

744
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 10: we don't have a Walmart here, so it's either Oneida

745
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 10: or Somerset or Winnsburg or Wayne County. You know, we

746
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 10: got to travel to get to a Walmart. So when

747
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 10: I go to the onnight of Walmart and Tennessee down there,

748
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 10: I'm wearing my blue no matter what. I got a

749
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 10: quick question for Billy and then I let you go.

750
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 10: I appreciate my taking my call Billy when and I love.

751
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 4: The pre show.

752
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 10: By the way, when Cal was doing the pre show,

753
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 10: compared to now that Hope is doing the pre show,

754
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 10: what is the call amount like? Because I feel like

755
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 10: the fan base is more ramped up now and you're

756
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 10: getting more cast because I've tried to call in all night.

757
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 10: I've tried to call in for a week and can't

758
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 10: get into Pope's calling show. I only tried like two

759
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 10: or three times with Cal and God but lost connection.

760
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 10: Is that agreeable that it's more harder to get into

761
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 10: Pope's going so than it was Cow's the last few

762
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 10: years or yeah.

763
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 6: No, very much so Butler, I mean, there's just an

764
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 6: excitement in the fan base that I mean, I have

765
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 6: full lines for the Pope Show at the very beginning

766
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 6: of the show.

767
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: So that's amazing because I can tell you there were

768
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: some years I hosted the cow Show and it would

769
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: be like Bob and Jamestown and.

770
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: Whatever the last few years like that. Really yeah, you know,

771
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: I mean that's what it was.

772
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: And so you're you're exactly exactly right, by the way,

773
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: speaking of living on the border, Trent Noah was asked

774
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: after the game in the press conference about playing against

775
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee and he said, my mom, he said, I'm always

776
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: you know, been on the state line right next to it.

777
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: My mom even would go get her hair done in Knoxville.

778
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: I was like, that is such a thirteenth region this

779
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 2: thing to say my mom would get her hair done,

780
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: because like that's you know, when I was a kid

781
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: in Middlesbrough, the city we went to was Knoxville, Like,

782
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, so and I had to watch Knoxville TV stations,

783
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: and so did Trent Noah. Right, if you're in Harlan

784
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 2: or Middlesbrough. We we got Knoxville TV. Now, uh, now

785
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: you get a win like that, that's got to mean

786
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 2: a ton for him to knowly win, but play like

787
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 2: he did in the game.

788
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 6: Who's next, Trey?

789
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Trey?

790
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on?

791
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: Fellas?

792
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: What's up?

793
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 4: Well?

794
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: So h MJ.

795
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 4: I got two points? The first one is that caller

796
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: the other day. The other day he said some sports

797
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: reporter said that he thought this team had peaked already.

798
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 4: I don't think that's true at all. As a matter

799
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 4: of fact, I think this team has a lot of

800
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 4: growing room, you know, to see Trent Noah and Travis

801
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: Perry transform right before our eyes and too legitimate minute players,

802
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: and I think come termament time, they may have a

803
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 4: huge impact in a game, a game or two.

804
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they've peaked if we're healthy, right,

805
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: So for me, it's there isn't a health sense. Like

806
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: I don't think cars going to be one hundred percent,

807
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: So I think at best we're gonna get an eighty

808
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: percent car just because you can just tell he's in pain.

809
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: But if we could get rob if we can get

810
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 2: Robinson and Butler healthy to where they are Like I thought,

811
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: Butler was one hundred percent himself until he reinjured his arm.

812
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: If you can get.

813
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: Those guys to where they are one hundred percent themselves,

814
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: then I agree with you. I think there's another gear

815
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: they can still get. Now, if we don't get those

816
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: guys healthy, then I do think there's a cap as

817
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: to where this team can get. But if those two

818
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: guys are healthy, then I'm with you. I think there's

819
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: still a higher level they can reach.

820
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 4: What do we know exactly the shoulder injury extent of Butler?

821
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: They haven't said.

822
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure I have not heard, like what

823
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 2: the official diagnosis is. I mean, I know before before

824
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: he got hurt at the end that I thought he

825
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: looked pretty close to.

826
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: One hundred percent and he was.

827
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: You know when your right hand and you go up

828
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: for a layup on the right side, you take a

829
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: hit to the left shoulder, and he took a few

830
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: of them and seemed to be okay, And then I

831
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: think he just fell in a weird way, and then

832
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: that's why I got hurt.

833
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: Of you, well, hopefully hopefully he'll get he'll get back soon.

834
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 4: Second point this is, this is really interesting to think

835
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: about So come next year, isn't it going to be

836
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: crazy to think we're gonna have four Kentucky guys on this.

837
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: Right, and they'll all contribute.

838
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 4: Get them good ones.

839
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: And they'll all contribute. You're exactly right, that will be

840
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 2: I mean, what you got to go back to? When

841
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: would there have been four Kentucky guys contribute? I mean,

842
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: obviously Rick's early days. I wonder has there been a

843
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: year since since those the you know, the ninety two

844
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: to ninety one years, has there been a year that

845
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: four Kentucky guys?

846
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't think Sutton had any.

847
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: No, well, Patino had.

848
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, so Patino had Reggie Hansen, Richie Farmer, John Pelfrey,

849
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: and Darren Feldhouse. So those were four Kentucky guys contributing,

850
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: and that would have been like what ninety and ninety one.

851
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: That's probably the last time that there's been four Kentucky guys.

852
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's been four Kentucky guys on the rock.

853
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: Well wait minute, let me think Brandon Stockton, Josh Carrier,

854
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: JP Blevins. Was there one other one on that team?

855
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 2: But but those guys aren't as good as the ones

856
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: we're talking about. So so Yeah, you're probably right. I

857
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: don't know that we've ever certainly not in my lifetime.

858
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 4: If we had that, Oh I'm excited for it. I'm

859
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: gonna hang up, guys.

860
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: You guys appreciate the call. Yeah, I don't. That's a

861
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: good question.

862
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: I mean that that Tubby had that group, that had

863
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: all those guys, but they're not as good as the

864
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 2: guys that are coming I mean next year. Well, first

865
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: of all, Kentucky has not produced two dudes as good

866
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 2: as Jazzper Johnson Malcai Moreno in the same year maybe ever,

867
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 2: or at least for a long time. So yeah, that

868
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: we probably will have more Kentucky contributions.

869
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: And let me just say, I think.

870
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: There's a kid out there that plays for another school

871
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 2: that's from Kentucky that you could see here next year.

872
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, it might be the most Kentucky team since

873
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: the Unforgettables AF I'm nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven.

874
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: We will take a break, come back. Final segment. It's

875
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. Welcome back. It

876
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 2: is the Local Toy Dealers ksbar ksbar KSR Postgame Show.

877
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 2: Here's a little interesting thing that I just saw sports

878
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: betters can no longer place wagers at Churchill Down the

879
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: racetrack closed its sports book.

880
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: Wow, isn't that interesting?

881
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: Like the whole It's so funny how that whole the

882
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: whole idea of all this was that like it would

883
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 2: be at the tracks and then it would like help

884
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: the tracks. And now everybody bets on their phone and

885
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: the tracks things don't really matter, you know.

886
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 6: Is that because nobody's betting at the track. Is that

887
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 6: why they're closing that?

888
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 2: I guess, well, they're nobody's bet on sports. They'll bet

889
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: on horse racing, but they're not betting on sports. So

890
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: like I remember when when when Red Mile opened the

891
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: the the in person sports betting there, I was like

892
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: worried about for Case Park.

893
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: And I just think everybody does it on their phone,

894
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: you know.

895
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 2: So it's like the I think a lot of these

896
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: businesses put in like a lot of money into their

897
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: sports books, and I don't know, I don't know how

898
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 2: much that's working for them because people just do it

899
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: on their phone, you know. So it's like a lot

900
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: of things. Everybody does it on their phone. If I'm

901
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: nine two eight zho twenty two eighty seven. Let's do

902
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: five more and we'll.

903
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: Call it an eating. Who's next, Luke, Luke.

904
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 14: Go ahead, Luke, Hey man, how's it going?

905
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: Doing good? Yeah?

906
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 5: So two things real quick. I know the defense was

907
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 5: a lot better tonight. How much of that do you

908
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 5: attribute to Lamont Butler being back? I know he went down.

909
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 5: Hopefully he is good to go for the rest of

910
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 5: the season, But how much of that do you think

911
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 5: it is?

912
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's huge. I think it's huge. I

913
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: think you saw that when the worst defensive stretch we

914
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: had was that stretch at the start of the second

915
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 2: half when Butler went out, Like from the sixteen minute

916
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: mark to the twelve minute mark. I think Tennessee scored

917
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: on eight straight possessions and that was when Butler was out.

918
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: I also think, though we just oddly, we match up

919
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: really well with Tennessee, Like they lead the country in

920
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: three point defense, yet we've shot fifty percent from three

921
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: in both games against him.

922
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure why that's the case.

923
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: And then they're not a good three point shooting team,

924
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 2: but they're hideously bad against us, and so I don't

925
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: really know why that is. And we seem to defend

926
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: pretty well against him, So I just.

927
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: Think for whatever reason, the matchup is good for us there.

928
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree that Kai Siegler is kind of a

929
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 5: bum when he plays Kentucky.

930
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, well, but I mean

931
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: so is Chas Lanier.

932
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean neither like, yeah, and Lanier and Gainey tonight,

933
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: we're zero for eleven from three.

934
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: Now.

935
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: Gainey played pretty well against US down in Knoxville, but

936
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: Lanier and Ziegler both just have not. Ziegler played better tonight,

937
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: but like, they just haven't played well against US, and

938
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,439
Speaker 2: they play well against everybody else.

939
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: So I don't really know what it is.

940
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's been his whole career. He's not

941
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 5: played good against Kentucky, So I don't know if he's

942
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 5: just got the jitters or what. But uh, I know

943
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 5: for a fact that he's no competition for the Mountain

944
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 5: Mamba and the Bluegrass Bucket. Thank you so much.

945
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: Oh, I like that the other name.

946
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think part of it is, you know, I

947
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 2: think part of it is that that Tennessee were used

948
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: to Tennessee being a really big, really athletic team, and

949
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 2: they're playing three guards for the most part. Their center

950
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: Igor is a good stretch player, but he's not crazy athletic.

951
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 2: And then kind of their athletic guys may shack and

952
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 2: the other one. They're not great scorers. So I think

953
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: we just seem to be able to defend them pretty well.

954
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: The guy that used to always give us trouble for

955
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: them was like Adu, who's now at Arkansas. We always

956
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: struggle with those guys, and they just don't have a

957
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: guy like that this year. So Yu Khon beats Creighton

958
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: on the road, we'll do. You got four on air five?

959
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 2: How many you got left? I got five?

960
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: You want to go to all five? It's too all five?

961
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: Okay ahead, Casey, Casey, go ahead, Casey.

962
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 15: What's going on?

963
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 2: Fellas?

964
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 15: I just wanted to holler at you and see what

965
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 15: you thought. So we had no Robinson. We played good

966
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 15: defense versus the best defensive team and the nation, in

967
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 15: my opinion, not stagnant again we usually play. I feel like, well,

968
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 15: we were pretty staggned.

969
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: I disagree with you on the stagnant.

970
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: We are pretty stagnant in that second half, but we

971
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: got fortunate that guys made big players.

972
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, we lost Butler though that we did we did.

973
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: The Butler's the key but Butler, Butler and Robinson. Yeah,

974
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: Butler is the key on defense. Butler is the key

975
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 2: on defense. Robinson and Butler are the key on offense.

976
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 2: And so having Butler's was huge.

977
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 15: All right, So Jackson and Robin. So Jackson, Robinson or

978
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 15: oh Way is our best player, gott to be but

979
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 15: Lamont Butler is our key player, and you can, okay, I.

980
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 2: Think I think Robinson is our best scorer. Oh Way

981
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 2: might be our best overall player, but but Butler's our

982
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: most important player.

983
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 15: Yeah, I can't, obviously. And then also I just want

984
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 15: to say, the Big Blue Nation, we're in a position

985
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 15: where we're at because of this man. Pope tas the truth.

986
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 15: I have not seen ma yet. He can't say all

987
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 15: the things he's got to say. He had some things,

988
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 15: but Pope tes the truth. He does not lie.

989
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 12: I won't.

990
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 15: Thank you, will and I appreciate him for who he

991
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 15: is and what he does.

Speaker 7: Matt and Billy, my fifteen year old son, and I

00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 7: are driving back from the game. We're going we're driving

1000
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 7: back to Ashland.

1001
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 10: Uh.

1002
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 7: We had a family member give us free tickets and

1003
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 7: they were in the top row. So we walked into

1004
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 7: Reparena at six thirty five, got on the game time

1005
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 7: app and bought tickets eight rows up from the floor

1006
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 7: and had the best time. And I'm calling because I'm

1007
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 7: just really happy. I'm really happy that this generation of

1008
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 7: Kentucky fans are getting to actually get a good taste

1009
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 7: of what Kentucky basketball is all about. My fifteen year

1010
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 7: old son diehard fan. He was three years old when

1011
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 7: we last won the national championship. We have season UK

1012
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 7: football tickets and honestly, in the last five or six years,

1013
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 7: he's had better UK football memories than basketball, and we

1014
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 7: try to keep killing him. No, no, you don't understand.

1015
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 7: Like UK basketball, it's like it is, it is it is,

1016
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 7: And I'm really glad that they're getting to see that now.

1017
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 7: And I'm just so happy we were at the game.

1018
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 3: Go Cats.

1019
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 2: Totally agree with you. I appreciate the call. I think

1020
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: that it's been interesting to watch with kids. I do

1021
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 2: think kids. You know, when cal first Scott here, kids

1022
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 2: loved John Wall, they loved Michael Kidd, Gilchrist Anthony Davis.

1023
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: I think Malik Monk and Darren de Aaron Fox were

1024
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 2: big with kids. And then for whatever reason, I mean,

1025
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 2: part of it is that we weren't winning. I thought

1026
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: dilling Hammond Ree kids really liked, but kids didn't seem

1027
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: to be I would notice that it just didn't seem

1028
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 2: like kids had the same energy that I had. And

1029
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: it seemed like kids had in the early Kal years.

1030
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: Well that's back this year. I mean, I see it

1031
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 2: at the bar before games, and the kids like this group.

1032
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, I think Oway really resonates with kids.

1033
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: And then I think having these two guys from Kentucky,

1034
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean, all these kids in Kentucky see these two

1035
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 2: dudes from their state and they're playing. And I just

1036
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 2: and now on the back of Reid doing last year

1037
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 2: and kids loved draw but like, it's good to see

1038
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: Kentucky just the younger fans being re energized. I didn't

1039
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 2: know this until I just saw Tyler Thompson's tweet. Did

1040
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: you know Mark Pope's daughter danced with the dance team tonight? No,

1041
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 2: Mark Pope's daughter either does or did. She may not

1042
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 2: anymore dance for the Utah Jazz dance team, and I

1043
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 2: guess she wore Mark Pope's jersey and danced with the

1044
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 2: Kentucky dance team today, So it's kind of a neat

1045
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: little thing.

1046
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 6: All right, three more, who's one question for you?

1047
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: Though?

1048
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 6: There was a goaltending call that was overturned in the game,

1049
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 6: but they didn't do it until they were at halftime.

1050
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, I get reviewing goaltending, but there's

1051
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: a problem with reviewing goaltending. First of all, it should

1052
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: be at the first at the next stoppage.

1053
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: There was a stoppage.

1054
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: They stopped it with fifty seconds left, like Tennessee called

1055
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: time out, So if they're not if they don't change it,

1056
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: then I don't think.

1057
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: They should be able to change it at halftime. So

1058
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:37,720
Speaker 1: that's my first problem.

1059
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 2: Second problem, I hate the rule that if they call

1060
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 2: goaltending and then they find out it's not, it just

1061
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: goes away because the guy blocked it out of bounds

1062
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 2: we would.

1063
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 6: Have had the ball, then no benefit.

1064
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: You don't get the benefit like so that they've got

1065
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 2: to figure that out because if you're gonna go review

1066
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,240
Speaker 2: it and the offense would have gotten the ball back,

1067
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 2: you're punishing the offense for your bad call.

1068
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: You can't do that, so like I hate that. I

1069
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: get why they have the rule, and in theory, I like.

1070
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 2: Being able to replay goaltending, but I just don't think

1071
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 2: you can do it to where the team. I mean,

1072
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 2: we would have gotten the ball back, so not only

1073
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 2: did we not get the points, we didn't even get

1074
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 2: a chance to score. I just I've never liked that

1075
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: rule and I actually think it's kind of unfair and

1076
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know why they do it like that. So

1077
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: also I want to thank the fans. We had thirty

1078
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 2: four tickets given to me that I was able to

1079
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: give out to other people. That's a lot for people

1080
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 2: to cause, you know, that's those are thirty four seats

1081
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 2: that were filled that wouldn't have been otherwise. So thanks

1082
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 2: to the fans that did that.

1083
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 6: Who's that Todd is next?

1084
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: Todd? Go ahead?

1085
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 4: Todd hey Man.

1086
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, that gold team call, that's pretty that's pretty lame

1087
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 11: by the NCAA to do that. Yeah, but uh, you

1088
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 11: open your show talking about the Almanor drive, which I

1089
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 11: thought was huge, and then the Berea drive with the

1090
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 11: lob of the Oway, and I think that's something this

1091
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 11: offense has to have because the dribble handoffs that we're

1092
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 11: trying to get a back door or a three. They're

1093
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 11: just pushing everybody out, but we get a little bit

1094
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 11: of penetration. It opens up Noah, it opens up Brea

1095
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 11: and he gives that lob the Oway and I think

1096
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 11: that's something that we've missed with Butler, but maybe we

1097
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 11: can hopefully get those guys at least doing that to

1098
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 11: kind of open things up for everybody else.

1099
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: I was really surprised because this team has been pretty

1100
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 2: weak getting people off the dribble. Like Oway can get

1101
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: to the rim, but then he can't finish.

1102
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: Usually he misses so many layups.

1103
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: Robinson has the same problem because he's not very strong now.

1104
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: Butler's a pretty good finisher. But then like brand Almanor,

1105
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I've seen Brayan Almanor take a guy

1106
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 2: off the dribble all year, and then they both did

1107
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: it in key moments tonight.

1108
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, Almanor that he's gonna have to do that because

1109
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 11: everybody's just like, Okay, he's gonna shoot three. So they're

1110
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,959
Speaker 11: putting a guard on him like Lanier was guarding him tonight,

1111
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 11: and he finally took.

1112
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: Advantage that's a good point, that point, and also.

1113
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 11: Good to see the Kentucky boys come through. Uh, Perry

1114
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 11: still makes me nervous handling the ball, but I'm sure

1115
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 11: that's something will come with experience. But Noah, Noah's defense

1116
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 11: is very underrated.

1117
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: I feel like he's really good at guarding. They having

1118
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: guarded the four a lot, and I'm shocked at how effective.

1119
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: He is at that.

1120
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, he was on Lanear tonight and he wasn't

1121
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 11: just trailing him off screens. He was kind of running

1122
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 11: on the side of his hip and like going under

1123
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 11: a few screens, which I think we need to do

1124
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 11: more of. But just his overall I Q and you know,

1125
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 11: the kid just makes just makes winning plays. And I

1126
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 11: hope he continues to get time and hope he continues

1127
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 11: to progress because that that that kid's something special.

1128
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate the car he ran. I'm back to he's like

1129
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: that Clemson kid.

1130
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 2: Like you look at that Clemson kids, you go, how

1131
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 2: does he guard anybody? And then he's a pretty good defender,

1132
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: and uh, no one reminds me of that guy. Like

1133
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 2: I said, I think he shoots better than that guy,

1134
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 2: and that guy's probably a little stronger than.

1135
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: Noah, but uh, they have a lot of similarities to me.

1136
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 1: Two more, Who's next, Lance, Lance? How are you Lance?

1137
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 11: I'm doing good, Matt. I'm kind of piggybacking off of

1138
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 11: a caller a little earlier. I feel like tonight was

1139
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 11: a major advancement in the depth of our roster. Honestly,

1140
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 11: there may be a game, you know, if we are

1141
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 11: completely healthy, hopefully get everybody back where Butler or Oway

1142
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 11: or maybe another starter is in foul trouble or possibly

1143
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 11: they get injured during the game. You know, something comes

1144
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 11: up there during the NCAA tournament where these crucial minutes

1145
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 11: and sec play against teams like Tennessee will be crucial

1146
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 11: towards Perry and Noah's confidence going forward.

1147
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: Well, we've already seen their I agree with you, And

1148
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 2: we've already seen their confidence go way up.

1149
00:55:58,760 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

1150
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 2: Love I don't really think they were scared earlier, but

1151
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 2: they were hesitant. They're not hesitant now. And to me,

1152
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 2: you can't play basketball at a high level and be hesitant.

1153
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 2: And I seeing Noah and Perry and it's not just

1154
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 2: Noah Perry, seeing Almanor and even seeing like Oway, who

1155
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 2: I thought win.

1156
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: A few games where he didn't want to shoot.

1157
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: Seeing all these guys be confident, you know, I love

1158
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: it because we need that because you got you can't

1159
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: be scared in these games because if you are, you're already.

1160
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 11: Beat absolutely, And it's just it's just going to see

1161
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 11: their progress getting forward as all I got.

1162
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate the call.

1163
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 2: That was one of Kyl's best skills is cal made

1164
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 2: the dudes believe that they were awesome. Sometimes I wish

1165
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 2: they were a little less confident, some of them, but

1166
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 2: he was great at telling dudes like getting the best

1167
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 2: out of them and making them feel confident. I feel

1168
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 2: like Pope's got that scene characteristic. Like they they go

1169
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 2: about it a different way, but they're both really good

1170
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: at making all the guys kind of believe like I

1171
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 2: can do it. And I think that's a that's a

1172
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: great characteristic to instill. All right, let's do one more

1173
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 2: and we'll call it a knight. Who's next?

1174
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 6: Kentucky dude, Kentucky dude?

1175
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: How are you?

1176
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 12: Hey?

1177
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm good?

1178
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: How you got good?

1179
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 14: I'm glad to go on the Billy show.

1180
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 2: Let's see.

1181
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 14: I'm down here in Louisville right now at Derby City

1182
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 14: and the sports game one is wide open.

1183
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: Well, this is at Churchhill Downs, is what the thing is.

1184
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 2: It's at February sixteenth, will be the last day?

1185
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 14: Oh that's last day. But anyway, how about the I

1186
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 14: was down here, I'm down here on work. I had

1187
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 14: some guys from Michigan. They were trying to figure out

1188
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 14: how to how to say Louisville. It's a Louisville. Louisville,

1189
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 14: it's a Loserville.

1190
00:57:58,360 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'll take that one.

1191
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: I'll take that one too.

1192
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 14: Yeah, I said, well I'm from the six six.

1193
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well I appreciate your call. They they're good though,

1194
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 2: and that helps us. Listen, Louisville being good just keeps

1195
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: helping our resume. So i'd say after this game, we're

1196
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 2: probably a solid four seed, assuming we win Saturday. But

1197
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 2: Saturday is gonna be tough. I know Texas is not

1198
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 2: played well, but it's gonna be eight o'clock. If you're

1199
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 2: just looking at like, you know those first time Kentucky's

1200
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: played there. Well, I think we played there once in

1201
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 2: the ACC Big twelve Challenge maybe, but we we don't

1202
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 2: play there a lot. Eight pm. It's the prime game

1203
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: on ESPN, so I think it'll be a wild environment.

1204
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 2: And if we can get that one, then you got

1205
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: Vandy at home, got LSU on the back end like

1206
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 2: you can. We can get to where my goal for

1207
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: the rest I want us to be get us get

1208
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 2: a bye in the SEC tournament, be a three four

1209
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 2: five seed, and then let's just let it roll and

1210
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: see what happened. Thank you folks very much for being

1211
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 2: here tonight. Huge win for the Cats against Tennessee. We

1212
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 2: will be back tomorrow morning at ten am. It is

1213
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 2: wingsday at Ksbar. So, uh, you think they'll have school tomorrow, Billy,

1214
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: I guess, uh, Well, the roads don't look bad.

1215
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they should probably should.

1216
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: But if they don't, come on out and join us.

1217
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: And if they do have it, come on out and

1218
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: join us. Anyway, your kid doesn't need to go to school.

1219
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 2: We'll see you later. This has been the local Toy

1220
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 2: Dealers KSR post game show, the Cats take down the Balls.

1221
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: We'll see you later.
