Speaker 3: at Ks Bar and Grill for Wings Day Dollar Wings.
Speaker 3: Starting when we opened at eleven o'clock. But we are
Speaker 3: here now and excited to be here. Ryan drew a
Speaker 3: nice little crowd of folks celebrating after the Cats absolutely
Speaker 3: dismantle LSU last night, ninety five sixty four, huge win,
Speaker 3: exactly as we wanted to see it. And Ryan, it
Speaker 3: was a feel good game. You know, in the SEC play,
Speaker 3: we've really not had many games where like it was
Speaker 3: never really a game at any point, and that one
Speaker 3: Cats got up early, just kept extending it and it
Speaker 3: was a feel good win for everybody that's it.
Speaker 4: Man, it was a feel good win to kind of
Speaker 4: celebrate the last home game for these seniors. You we
Speaker 4: kind of just needed that moment just to kind of
Speaker 4: celebrate together as a as a fan base of a
Speaker 4: big win that was never in doubt from the beginning. So,
Speaker 4: you know, our entire psyche of our state a lot
Speaker 4: of time depends on how Kentucky basketball does.
Speaker 3: It should be a lot of emphasis on this.
Speaker 4: It should be a lot of happy people today.
Speaker 3: Higher psyche of the state down to the uk LSU game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're gonna have a happy couple of
Speaker 4: days here. So well, if your postgame show is an
Speaker 4: indication some people started early last night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's gonna be a drunk few days.
Speaker 3: If you listen to the postgame show. We had a
Speaker 3: we had we had a rally of that might have
Speaker 3: been the most drunk callers for a weekday postgame show
Speaker 3: I can remember in a long time. It was quite something.
Speaker 3: And then but but it was a good win. You know, Drew,
Speaker 3: you were there, So I would say for me, the
Speaker 3: whole I kind of felt like the night was almost
Speaker 3: like a celebration of kind of UK basketball and sort
Speaker 3: of the new era of how things have gone. I mean,
Speaker 3: you start from Senior Night, which not only had six seniors,
Speaker 3: but six seniors, all of whom play right like, so,
Speaker 3: I mean it's been a while since we've had a
Speaker 3: group of seniors that that's that it had that many
Speaker 3: that also play. Then you throw in the addition of
Speaker 3: a feel good win where you kind of run away
Speaker 3: with it. And then after the game, Pope and all
Speaker 3: the players talk to the to the round. They all
Speaker 3: six came on the postgame radio broadcast, which I thought
Speaker 3: was a really neat addition. I have to say to
Speaker 3: UK and JMI, it's it's still a shame to me.
Speaker 3: Why do they make the Senior Day ceremony. Now you
Speaker 3: have to pay for it to watch it. You know,
Speaker 3: that's on the I looked for it. You have to
Speaker 3: play for all access. That's come on now. Seriously, that's
Speaker 3: the exact opposite of what we want with some of
Speaker 3: this stuff. But take that out of the way and
Speaker 3: kind of the new era of like we feel good
Speaker 3: about people wanting the front of the jersey. I just
Speaker 3: felt like last night kind of celebrated that throughout and
Speaker 3: pretty much everybody that played had a good game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a great night. It's my first time
Speaker 5: talking today. I haven't spoken to anyone. Could see you,
Speaker 5: guys know, a great night. If Jami wants to hide
Speaker 5: it behind the pay wall, you can go to KSRS
Speaker 5: YouTube watch the whole thing there. We'd love to have you.
Speaker 3: Oh you got it on KSRS Utah you of course
Speaker 3: and skip them just eat it then jam. But that
Speaker 3: really made me mad though I wanted to watch it
Speaker 3: live and it was like sign up for I get
Speaker 3: you have to charge for things. I don't mind that,
Speaker 3: but like, there should be a couple of things that
Speaker 3: are sacred. Senior Day should be one of them.
Speaker 5: But going, yeah, one of Kentucky basketball's best traditions. Marlena
Speaker 5: Van Hoos is officially my old Kentucky home from now
Speaker 5: until the end of time. It is now her song
Speaker 5: on Senior Night, she better be back every year. That
Speaker 5: was a highlight, and I mean, of course the game
Speaker 5: was a lot of fun, but then when they took
Speaker 5: the mic at the end, it was like Senior Night
Speaker 5: all over again, even better. I mean they all really
Speaker 5: poured out how grateful they were for the fans, and yeah,
Speaker 5: I like that. They said we're not done yet. Even
Speaker 5: Jackson Robinson, who's not playing anymore, said looking forward to
Speaker 5: the postseason.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So you know, as far as a game, cats
Speaker 3: come out early starters, get up, what is it like,
Speaker 3: you know, eighteen to five or somewhere like that like that.
Speaker 3: Then they go to the reserves. Didn't work great, but
Speaker 3: you know what, then they went back and it played
Speaker 3: really well. I mean, really didn't have a down time.
Speaker 3: The whole game got big games from Brandon Garrison, Ainsley
Speaker 3: Almanor Oway obviously had one of his biggest games. My
Speaker 3: MVP selection was correct, But I will tell you that
Speaker 3: the thing that for me I take away from this
Speaker 3: is a young Mormon chap named Colin Channer. And here's
Speaker 3: the reason I say that, I felt like with Jackson
Speaker 3: Robinson God that we were one player short of kind
Speaker 3: of athletic come in play defense score. And I love Tret,
Speaker 3: Travis Perry and Trent Noah. I don't think they're there
Speaker 3: yet for that this year. So I just thought we
Speaker 3: weren't gonna have it. But Colin Chandler is athletic. Colin
Speaker 3: Chandler can guard Colin Chandler. The thing that's looked scary
Speaker 3: about him is he was scared to death, didn't want
Speaker 3: to shoot, looked timid on offense. And then last night
Speaker 3: eleven points made three open threes, looked comfortable, and I thought, man,
Speaker 3: if you could get fifteen minutes, twelve to fifteen minutes
Speaker 3: of that a game, now that's a whole nother ballpark.
Speaker 4: He'd earned some minutes just by his defensive play. But
Speaker 4: now you're right, he's and he took the shot with confidence.
Speaker 4: There was a couple of times you know, bam, got
Speaker 4: it booms straight.
Speaker 3: Now was in a dude's eye, I mean, like like
Speaker 3: he did. He wasn't just open one of them. He
Speaker 3: just looked at a guy and took it in his eye. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's the story of the night.
Speaker 5: Even though Oway went off was non for eleven Chandler
Speaker 5: maybe having a breakthrough moment was great to see, especially
Speaker 5: after what they have five bench points against Auburn and
Speaker 5: forty three last night.
Speaker 3: Really big difference between Yeah, part of that.
Speaker 5: I wonder, you know, like I said yesterday, you want
Speaker 5: Jackson Robinson, but now that he's out, it's almost like
Speaker 5: guys know it's their turn to step up.
Speaker 3: It's that It almost like that Pope said, like, all right,
Speaker 3: now we know Robinson's out, so like we don't have
Speaker 3: to sit there and think about what's our team gonna be.
Speaker 3: Like Robinson's out, and now we build the team with
Speaker 3: that in mind.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like a picture knowing they're gonna start the next day.
Speaker 5: You know your assignment. They know the Jackson Robinson. They're
Speaker 5: done with the probables, the maybe's he's out and then
Speaker 5: they have to step up. And he was the first
Speaker 5: one to take big advantage of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great to watch. It was great to
Speaker 3: watch those guys have that moment. And then you know,
Speaker 3: Lsu I think kind of quit, but we didn't. I mean,
Speaker 3: score ninety five I thought they were kind of consistent
Speaker 3: throughout the game. Had maybe a couple small defensive lapses,
Speaker 3: but nothing big. It was exactly what you want. Now
Speaker 3: they go to Missouri on Saturday. That will be a
Speaker 3: tough environment and a tough game. I will tell you. You know,
Speaker 3: we've talked about this. I'm a bracket guy, right, Yes, sure,
Speaker 3: I love I love the brackets. I draw them, and
Speaker 3: yeah we don't always finish them on this show, but
Speaker 3: I start a lot of them right because they're fun.
Speaker 4: I think the right word is bracket nerd without question.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I I look at Joe Lonardi and
Speaker 3: I go, I hope that's not my future. But maybe
Speaker 3: it is. Maybe it is, Maybe it is. I don't know.
Speaker 3: So so last night my friend Ricky Collis sent me.
Speaker 3: He sent me this little website where you could play
Speaker 3: with the SEC tournament scenarios.
Speaker 4: Oh you can.
Speaker 3: I did it way too long. I did that like
Speaker 3: so you like. It had a spreadsheet and with every
Speaker 3: game you could pick who wins and then see what happen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I think I have it massed.
Speaker 4: If you're ready, So here are Can you simplify it?
Speaker 3: Basically, Kentucky can be as high as a five seed
Speaker 3: that's still plausible, or as low as a nine. Now,
Speaker 3: we don't want a nine because we don't play on Wednesday. Correct,
Speaker 3: So here's the scenario that we need to avoid. We
Speaker 3: need one of these things not to happen. Old Miss
Speaker 3: would have to lose twice, so they play tonight. If
Speaker 3: they were to win the night, then our nine seed
Speaker 3: is out. We wouldn't be so for us to be
Speaker 3: a nine seed, Old Miss has to lose twice. Now
Speaker 3: they play Tennessee in Florida, so they could lose both
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 4: They could lose both those games.
Speaker 3: We would have to lose to Missouri. Okay, Mississippi State
Speaker 3: would have to uh it beat Arkansas, loser lose to Arkansas,
Speaker 3: and then Vandy would have to beat Georgia. You got it.
Speaker 6: God, we need to be for the Mississippi schools, So
Speaker 6: we need Old Miss to win a game, Mississippi State
Speaker 6: to beat Arkansas, or Georgia to beat Vandy.
Speaker 3: If we lose, there's like five things, but honestly, all
Speaker 3: five of those could easily happen. So we now, let
Speaker 3: mean that's the negative scenario. Here's the positive. You beat Missouri. Okay,
Speaker 3: you beat Missouri Texas A and m loses their next game,
Speaker 3: Mississippi State loses, Vandy loses, et cetera. We could get
Speaker 3: all the way to the five because we would own
Speaker 3: the tiebreaker on Missouri, and if we beat them, we'd
Speaker 3: pass them, and then we could beat the five seed
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, so we can be as
Speaker 3: low as a nine or as high as a five.
Speaker 3: The most likely scenario, though, is still an eight. And
Speaker 3: if things kind of play out like there, what you know,
Speaker 3: we could be an eight and you know who are nine?
Speaker 3: Could be the Arkansas reason Like, there's a scenario that
Speaker 3: can happen where Arkansas wins, Old miss loses, Vandy drops again,
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, Arkansas the nine and worthy eight.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that game if that ended up happening.
Speaker 3: I actually would like it because I think we beat
Speaker 3: them the second time, but it would be a pretty
Speaker 3: nerve wrecking game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would take it. I've been so nervous about Wednesday.
Speaker 5: I've been even going back to the other day, Like
Speaker 5: when we won last night, a ten seed was still
Speaker 5: in play till till Mississippi State loss. That's how the
Speaker 5: LSU game, I mean it was important, but we're still
Speaker 5: not out of the water. And the scenario you mentioned
Speaker 5: where it can be Vandy Ole Miss in Kentucky, that's
Speaker 5: kind of the favorites winning all those games, which is
Speaker 5: you're not an.
Speaker 3: Ideal situation, the favorite one all five of.
Speaker 5: Those games except maybe the Arkansas Misissippi State that's the
Speaker 5: one where.
Speaker 3: So what we need to do basically is we gotta say,
Speaker 3: let's just start with tonight. If you watch it tonight,
Speaker 3: we want Old Miss to beat Tennessee. It's hard to do,
Speaker 3: but we need them is it is the game. Tennessee's
Speaker 3: a two point favorite, so we need we need Old
Speaker 3: If we Old Miss winns tonight, then Wednesday is off
Speaker 3: the table and we can go into next week just
Speaker 3: deciding are we gonna be the five seed or were
Speaker 3: gonna be the eight seed? So we need Old Miss
Speaker 3: to win and night and it's easy to root against Tennessee,
Speaker 3: so we should be able to do that, right.
Speaker 4: Crazy easy. I'm still thinking about if Arkansas's the nine
Speaker 4: and we're the eighth, very plausible. Can you imagine that
Speaker 4: fan base down in Nashville. It's all blue anyway, and
Speaker 4: it's a more raucous crowd.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm go go ahead and tell you all of
Speaker 3: you who are like you know what, I'll get there
Speaker 3: Thursday afternoon. I'll be there for the Kentucky No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: If we're playing Arkansas on Thursday, we need to go
Speaker 3: fill that place up because because we can't lose to
Speaker 3: them again. You know what I mean, Web, And the
Speaker 3: good thing is whatever bad taste we had in our
Speaker 3: mouth from losing that game Drew, if you were to
Speaker 3: go beat him in the SEC tournament, It's like when
Speaker 3: Indiana hit the Watford shot, You're like, okay, but you
Speaker 3: lost when it mattered, So we need we need to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they would still need some wild upsets
Speaker 5: to get there. But if that scenario happened and we
Speaker 5: were to lose, that will be the saddest scene on Broadway.
Speaker 5: Imaginable Kentucky fans going home at the hands of John
Speaker 5: Caliperi in Nashville after wanting him gone because he couldn't win.
Speaker 4: Win in Nashville.
Speaker 3: That would Belle start talking about his dog in Nashville.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be responsible for what I did. I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go ahead and say and say that like,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be I couldn't be held responsible.
Speaker 5: So that was a crazy win for them. Last night.
Speaker 5: I caught a lot of that game. I completely wrote
Speaker 5: them off without a due that man went was backs
Speaker 5: against the wall.
Speaker 3: Yeah they do all right. Now for for Kentucky, I
Speaker 3: think we am I crazy to think we could beat Missouri.
Speaker 3: What can't we beat they like they play? Uh? Did
Speaker 3: they play tonight or they play Oklahoma today? They play
Speaker 3: Oklahoma tonight, By the way, in order for us to
Speaker 3: get the five, they would have to lose to Oklahoma
Speaker 3: tonight too. So so the other secondary game you'd probably
Speaker 3: want to root for is Oklahoma to beat Missouri. And
Speaker 3: it's plausible. Oklahoma's at home and Oklahoma needs it like
Speaker 3: to get in the tournament, so it's a big game
Speaker 3: for Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: But go ahead, well, Missouri. And there was a time
Speaker 4: where they were playing as good as anybody, Alabama, Auburn,
Speaker 4: they were playing really well. It seems like this last
Speaker 4: game especially, they kind of fell upon little bit. So
Speaker 4: I don't really know what's going on with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah I don't either, but I do, Uh, I'd love
Speaker 3: the idea because if let's say you're a five, you
Speaker 3: get up there, you might have Tennessee as you're for
Speaker 3: a team you've beaten. You might have a Florida team
Speaker 3: that you've beaten. There's you're four, and all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you could see a potential for a run. So
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of possibilities. But the key is,
Speaker 3: let's get Old miss to beat Tennessee tonight and then
Speaker 3: we don't have to worry about Wednesday at all. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The easy way to look at it just root for
Speaker 5: the Mississippi schools so this week, that'll get you out
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, root for the Mississippi schools. That's exactly right. If
Speaker 3: I'm nine to two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven
Speaker 3: a really good, feel good way when it was also
Speaker 3: proved to me, I'm now on a kick. There should
Speaker 3: never be one moment of any game we're both Butler
Speaker 3: and away or out ever, true, because if you i
Speaker 3: the moment they were both out. Yeah, Like, if you're
Speaker 3: gonna if you're gonna have Periot point guard put away
Speaker 3: at the two, if you're gonna have a way out
Speaker 3: with uh, you know, Chandler or whoever else at the two, Uh,
Speaker 3: keep Butler like you gotta have one of those guys.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's set on the minutes with these guys, so
Speaker 5: maybe we can convince him into staggering.
Speaker 3: How he chased He did more of that. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: first substitution was a line change. Didn't work well. And
Speaker 3: then as the game went on, he was staggering and
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, maybe we're getting somewhere.
Speaker 4: I think most people would be okay with that. It's
Speaker 4: those massive line changes he does that kind of gets
Speaker 4: us to throw on a funk.
Speaker 3: At one point he had in that first half when
Speaker 3: they made their little run. The worst defensive lineup we
Speaker 3: could have put on the floor, like, there's not a
Speaker 3: worst defensive lineup than Perry Braa, Noah almanor Garrison, and
Speaker 3: that was the lineup when they made the run. You
Speaker 3: cannot have that lineup.
Speaker 5: In about once a game, whether it's that lineup or others,
Speaker 5: my phone will blow up with friends are all like
Speaker 5: what is this group? It happens about once a game,
Speaker 5: usually in the first half, but there's a head scratching
Speaker 5: rotation made.
Speaker 3: Nevertheless, big win A five nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3: I want to talk more about some Senior Day stuff,
Speaker 3: including I think a really cool moment that goes to
Speaker 3: what we've talked about with the whole what the jersey means,
Speaker 3: and get you ready for the week ahead. This is
Speaker 3: We'll take a break. It's weingsday here at Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: That was I'm in at CHS worker back at is
Speaker 3: Kentucky Sports Radio. A if I'm nine two eight oh
Speaker 3: twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven
Speaker 3: seven four five two five four one person rights. Matt
Speaker 3: listening to you go through SEC tournament bracket scenarios tells
Speaker 3: me you have too much time on your hands. Well,
Speaker 3: what did you do last night? That was so cool?
Speaker 3: Eight five nine seven nine seven You and your wife
Speaker 3: sitting bed and go, hey, honey, how was your day?
Speaker 3: How was your day? That's any like? I mean, I
Speaker 3: you know, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: That's the opposite. Abby looked at me, he is like,
Speaker 5: are you really up at three am? Still doing this?
Speaker 5: I had the scenarios up as like, yes, there's so
Speaker 5: many scenarios.
Speaker 3: I mean most people. I cannot trying to be rude
Speaker 3: to you eight five nine seven nine seven, but your guy,
Speaker 3: but your life, what did you do that was so awesome? Oh?
Speaker 3: It's such an exciting night sitting and watching reruns of
Speaker 3: Lost with your wife before falling asleep at ten fifteen. Like,
Speaker 3: stop it.
Speaker 5: Some of us like to know what happens if LSU
Speaker 5: beats an M and Georgia beats Vandy, Mississippi State loses Arkansas.
Speaker 3: I don't you worry about me. You worry about yourself.
Speaker 4: Nothing says romance in the bedroom, like looking at brackets.
Speaker 4: Maybe they should look into that.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I was by myself. I didn't. I wasn't
Speaker 3: trying to a cigarette after your brackets Statuh.
Speaker 5: It's exactly right.
Speaker 3: I went and it was. I had a shower and
Speaker 3: I went, you know what, this was a wonderful evening.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: One person, right, It's okay, Matt. That's the SEC tournament scenarios.
Speaker 3: Where do you think we are now with the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3: I sort of look at it like this, Drew, I
Speaker 3: think we Uh. I think if we were to beat Missouri,
Speaker 3: we're a three seed, probably playing somewhere that's close enough
Speaker 3: for people to drive. So uh, I think if we
Speaker 3: were to beat Missouri, we might end up in Providence,
Speaker 3: h Rhode Island. I kind of look at it like this,
Speaker 3: we're gonna if you look at where teams go. If
Speaker 3: I'm guessing, and this could change with upsets, We're either
Speaker 3: going to Providence, Rhode Island, or Denver if we if
Speaker 3: we're towards the top end, if we beat Missouri, We're
Speaker 3: probably going to Providence, Rhode Island, and we'll figure out
Speaker 3: that city. There's a place I've spent no time in
Speaker 3: my life. If we lose, then I think we might
Speaker 3: drop to a four, especially if we lose in the
Speaker 3: quarterfinals the SEC tournament, that probably puts us in Denver.
Speaker 3: But if I were to Gas, I'm thinking one of
Speaker 3: those two cities, Drew is our likely destination.
Speaker 5: I loved the new bracketology yesterday. That's Denver in Atlanta
Speaker 5: where you just have to beat the Utah Valley in
Speaker 5: Saint Mary's and know there's still a little basketball left
Speaker 5: that'll change it up. But I would also take Providence.
Speaker 5: Either one of those I'm fine with. I just don't
Speaker 5: want to go way out west like you all asked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we. I think we would have
Speaker 3: had to lose last night to go all the way
Speaker 3: out west to Seattle. So I or if we lost
Speaker 3: in the first round. If we lost to Missouri and
Speaker 3: the first round of the SEC tournament, like to Mississippi
Speaker 3: State or Arkansas, then maybe I could see us getting
Speaker 3: booted out to Seattle. I think as long as we
Speaker 3: win one more game again, I think you beat Missouri,
Speaker 3: we're going to be a three seed. No matter what
Speaker 3: happens in the SEC Tournament, we end up going to
Speaker 3: Providence and we'll buy some insurance or whatever it is
Speaker 3: they do.
Speaker 4: That's Prudential.
Speaker 3: Well, what's in Providence? And I wasn't I knew. I
Speaker 3: didn't think Prudential was a city. I think Providence is
Speaker 3: known for insurance? Or is that Hartford? I think it's
Speaker 3: hard for Hartford has the insurance, but they have insurance.
Speaker 4: You still get insurance in Providence insurance.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of what Providence is known for
Speaker 3: because we might be spending like five days there, So
Speaker 3: I do want to, like, have I've.
Speaker 4: Never been to Rhode Island, so let's me my first time.
Speaker 3: If we've had this conversation, we drove you through Rhode Island.
Speaker 5: We've been with you.
Speaker 3: You cut through Delaware, not I drove the Rhode Island
Speaker 3: on the trip to Maine. We we we went through
Speaker 3: Rhode Island.
Speaker 4: I don't remember that. Maybe I was a sleep.
Speaker 3: Okay, well you maybe you were eight if I'm nine to two,
Speaker 3: eight oh twenty two eighty seven, all right, so cool.
Speaker 3: I did really like the moment with the kid from Madisonville.
Speaker 3: So there's a kid. You know, this is a great story.
Speaker 3: Just it's a great story just in general. Okay. So,
Speaker 3: so Pope says he wants to have walk on tryouts
Speaker 3: every year at UK. Now, as a side note, the
Speaker 3: house settlement that we're talking about with you and I
Speaker 3: actually may not let that happen. We'll have to see
Speaker 3: how it goes. I think that needs to be fixed
Speaker 3: because you need to have walk ons. But Zach, so
Speaker 3: they have an open tryout, sixty five dudes show up,
Speaker 3: gets down, Zach Towel from Madisonville gets picked. I kind
Speaker 3: of thought it was I'd heard he kind of wasn't
Speaker 3: on the team, but on the team, and I thought
Speaker 3: that was kind of odd. But that's how it was. Apparently,
Speaker 3: according to Mark Pope, a one day tryout every day.
Speaker 3: If he had to keep earning his spot over and
Speaker 3: over and over, and I guess he did. They never
Speaker 3: had him dress out for a game. He sat there
Speaker 3: in sweatpants, in a sweatsuit the entire time. The players
Speaker 3: all decided a couple weeks ago they thought he deserved
Speaker 3: to have that moment. So Mark Pope's in the locker room.
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler gave Zach twel jersey and said you get
Speaker 3: to dress tonight, which had to be very cool. Now
Speaker 3: then not only does he get there, Pope gets checks
Speaker 3: him in, So now he'll go into record books Ryan
Speaker 3: as a UK basketball player. Otherwise he would not have
Speaker 3: he would have been in the team picture, but he
Speaker 3: would have not been an official UK basketball player. He
Speaker 3: checks in and now he gets to have that. For
Speaker 3: the rest of his life, he'll be able to say
Speaker 3: he was a UK basketball player. Just a really neat moment. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he just checked in for point two seconds, but he did.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you see on TikTok his sister
Speaker 3: who played, who was a really good softball player at Alabama,
Speaker 3: she has a TikTok of her like watching it and
Speaker 3: like crying and like, this is what an amazing moment
Speaker 3: for our family because she was at the game. Again,
Speaker 3: if you're talking about what makes BBN special and unique,
Speaker 3: this is what it is exactly.
Speaker 4: That's what makes UK basketball BB That's what made college
Speaker 4: sports special. Our stories exactly like this. And I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 4: even though it was point two seconds for that kid
Speaker 4: to hear his name announced checking in for the they go
Speaker 4: out kat Zach twe I mean goosebumps.
Speaker 3: And I think about little things like when they do
Speaker 3: these reunion days. Yeah, come right, like when they have
Speaker 3: the alumni hate you're a former player, you can get
Speaker 3: tickets for game. He gets to get it like it's
Speaker 3: the most important point two seconds of a person's life.
Speaker 5: And you know me, I was absolutely thrilled. I know
Speaker 5: the towels a little bit. Marcia actually texted me when
Speaker 5: I was parking saying, Zach just walked out and he's
Speaker 5: got a jersey on. So I was already thrilled just
Speaker 5: knowing they gave him a jersey. I didn't expect him
Speaker 5: to actually get in. But that's a Maroon legend that
Speaker 5: played about three years ago. He was great in Madisonville,
Speaker 5: and I'm glad he's getting a chance to get a few
Speaker 5: minutes or a few tents of a second with Kentucky.
Speaker 3: There are some people online that were like why not
Speaker 3: give those dudes a minute of action? I'm certain knowing
Speaker 3: you Ryan, you're one of those people. Did you think
Speaker 3: that because you know the Horn and Darbyshire and they
Speaker 3: haven't played much at all.
Speaker 4: I was screaming with about four minutes left that last
Speaker 4: TV timeout they were up thirty. I'm like, put them in,
Speaker 4: give it and let the seniors get checked out one
Speaker 4: at a time. Give them their mouth.
Speaker 3: It nice they do it.
Speaker 4: Should have should have done that. Give those kids to come.
Speaker 4: I mean they practice every day. They deserved me on
Speaker 4: the court a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been nice. But but for it's
Speaker 3: just a really for a kid from Kentucky, and I
Speaker 3: love that. You know, I had the open trial. He
Speaker 3: comes through the open tryout. He did. He didn't come
Speaker 3: to UK even thinking he was gonna play basketball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was the president of his frat when he
Speaker 5: tried out.
Speaker 3: He was a frat president and then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden tries out, keeps making the cut, gets to come.
Speaker 3: Mark Pope might be a little bit more of a
Speaker 3: hard ass than I realized, in the sense that he
Speaker 3: gave him a one day contract. Every day. It's like,
Speaker 3: you know, Mark, he's been here sixty five days, maybe
Speaker 3: just letting be on the team.
Speaker 5: Actually he was at Pro Day. That's how back back
Speaker 5: his one day contract goes.
Speaker 3: And every day he was walked in there like all right,
Speaker 3: you got one more, one more. But then finally he
Speaker 3: gets it for last night.
Speaker 4: I love it. That's every Kentucky kid's dream. When you're
Speaker 4: shooting out in your driveway.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, we'll take a calls. Be right back
Speaker 3: to Kentucky Sports Radio.

Speaker 3: like it, but like we could. We could. We could
Speaker 3: do that and then we'll just close for the day.
Speaker 3: Matter we'll find some more chickens. So Women's SEC Tournament
Speaker 3: starts this afternoon. Kentucky, of course, doesn't play until Friday.
Speaker 3: This segment of sponsored by Cornbread Himp. We will be
Speaker 3: there Friday at their twenty five thousand square foot facility
Speaker 3: in Louisville. By the way, be watching with the legislature.
Speaker 3: Legislation is trying to do some some sneaky stuff on
Speaker 3: HEMP CBD. So if that's something you use, and I
Speaker 3: don't know why you wouldn't with Cornbreadhimp dot com. A
Speaker 3: lot of our folks are using it, including a lot
Speaker 3: of people on this show. You may check in with
Speaker 3: your with your legislator before they screw things up. But
Speaker 3: that we are going to be there on Friday, and
Speaker 3: they're gonna have they got gummies, they got all that's
Speaker 3: twenty dollars gift cards you can use online. You can
Speaker 3: learn more at cornbreadhemp dot com. But we will be
Speaker 3: there Friday. I thought there was a no crowd show,
Speaker 3: but this ad says crowd. So I will have you
Speaker 3: the official news uh tomorrow because I don't know that
Speaker 3: that's a place like it's a working facility, so I
Speaker 3: don't know if we're able, but uh, I.
Speaker 2: Went the other day they were they said they wanted
Speaker 2: to have a crowd out there.
Speaker 3: You want to They told me they didn't want to
Speaker 3: hold me.
Speaker 4: They didn't want to have a crowd.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I'll get it straight. But if
Speaker 3: if we do have a crowd, it's a Louisville remote.
Speaker 3: They're saying they're gonna give away gummies and gift cards,
Speaker 3: so so I guess I'll find out, hopefully before the
Speaker 3: day is over. But that is on Friday, and it's
Speaker 3: out in the industrial park in uh in Louisville. If
Speaker 3: I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text
Speaker 3: machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two
Speaker 3: one person rights, Matt. If we play like we did
Speaker 3: last night, this team could be an Elite eight team.
Speaker 3: I'm convinced. I agree, you play like you did last night,
Speaker 3: get the right draw. I think I talked about the
Speaker 3: postgame show. I think it's a big difference if you're
Speaker 3: a three or four. I think if you, I think
Speaker 3: the two seeds are not nearly as good as the
Speaker 3: one seed drew. So if you're a three in the
Speaker 3: sweet sixteen, I'd much rather play in Iowa State or
Speaker 3: a Michigan state than play at Houston or a duke
Speaker 3: in the sweet sixteen. So give me a three instead
Speaker 3: of a four, which is why I think this Missouri
Speaker 3: game is important.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even though I would stay it looks good, I
Speaker 5: think there's still a big gap Houston is.
Speaker 3: They might even be my.
Speaker 5: Favorite to win at all, even with Auburn and the conversation,
Speaker 5: I think they're very good. So I'm with you. I'd
Speaker 5: like to stay on that three line to avoid that.
Speaker 3: Auburn loss last night surprise to a lot of people,
Speaker 3: not necessarily me, because they already had clinched they it
Speaker 3: was a perfect trap game. They already had clinched the
Speaker 3: SEC regular season title, they already clinched the one seed.
Speaker 3: They've probably already clinched the one seed in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3: They play Alabama Saturday, like if you were ever gonna
Speaker 3: get them, this would have been the time to get them,
Speaker 3: and they did.
Speaker 4: That's the definition of a trap game what they had
Speaker 4: last night. They didn't care about that game. They do,
Speaker 4: I think will care about the Alabama game because it's
Speaker 4: Auburn Alabama, but again, meant nothing to them last night.
Speaker 5: It's a it's a tail as old as time beat
Speaker 5: Kentucky lose your next game, and adding to it, Miles
Speaker 5: Kelly went one for nine and missed all of his
Speaker 5: three pointers, because that's just how it works. When Kentucky losing,
Speaker 5: always bet against the other team after Kentucky lost.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, tell shit, who's first? Jay? Jay? Go ahead? Jay?
Speaker 4: The first time?
Speaker 6: Long time?
Speaker 3: Who are what's up?
Speaker 7: I don't think Tucky's gonna win another title unless we
Speaker 7: get another coach and they're.
Speaker 3: Like, coach cal all right, I mean again, if you're
Speaker 3: just trying to be funny, like do you let me
Speaker 3: ask you? Questions are when you called in, did you
Speaker 3: think on a second, did you really think you were
Speaker 3: funny when you said that? Like, did you because you've
Speaker 3: sat on hold for thirty minutes? Did you really sit
Speaker 3: on hold for thirty minutes and think you know how
Speaker 3: we'll get him? I almost it's a pope cake coach
Speaker 3: and coach cal Can. Did you really like look in
Speaker 3: the mirror this morning and think that was gonna be
Speaker 3: a funny joke? Like for real, he's gone, Okay, that's
Speaker 3: what I thought. Then you hung up, So I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: like you could you I don't know you, sir, but
Speaker 3: you can certainly do better than that. He stood on
Speaker 3: hole for thirty minutes to say that stupid nonsense.
Speaker 5: Then he said he had to go again somewhere to be.
Speaker 3: He had to go because he knew it was terrible,
Speaker 3: Like he really thought, like he he thought, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get him. And then he was like, oh this didn't work.
Speaker 4: Click click, MAT's fussing at me. I'm out of here.
Speaker 4: By what do you mean I'm fussing at it? He
Speaker 4: deserved to be first hate, I hate bad jokes, and well,
Speaker 4: I think he was really thought he was going to
Speaker 4: try to just be uh uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bitch, I mean John cal Perry. Now they may
Speaker 3: have made the tournament with that win last night. That
Speaker 3: may have been the win that kind of got them in,
Speaker 3: but uh, you know, I mean, I don't think. I
Speaker 3: say again, if we had this same record with cal
Speaker 3: this would have been a miserable year. Like it would
Speaker 3: have just been a miserable year. Even if we had
Speaker 3: the exact same record, it just would have been with
Speaker 3: this fan base.
Speaker 5: I think it would have and we also would not
Speaker 5: have had this exact same record, It would have been
Speaker 5: much worse. I think I think you're exactly they had
Speaker 5: for dollars to go shopping with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well we've gone over that a lot,
Speaker 3: but this would have been a completely different situation. Who's next, Dave, Dave,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Dave.
Speaker 7: Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Matt? What's up?
Speaker 7: First? The first time calling in, and we just got
Speaker 7: a couple couple of things. First of all, I'm not
Speaker 7: a traditional Cats fan because I haven't been, you know, won,
Speaker 7: my whole life. In fact, I never really followed college
Speaker 7: basketball or college anything until we moved up to Kentucky
Speaker 7: and kind of got suck into the four Texa BBN,
Speaker 7: but then following them since two thousand and eight when
Speaker 7: we moved here and have really enjoyed it most of
Speaker 7: the time. I've been super I'm hoping you can answer
Speaker 7: this for me because I'm just like super frustrated. You
Speaker 7: got Auburn who lost three games this year, and we
Speaker 7: as of those teams.
Speaker 3: True, but this isn't I mean, this isn't it no,
Speaker 3: because I knew this was gonna happen. I mean, first
Speaker 3: of all, it's gonna be interesting long term to see
Speaker 3: if this continues to happen. But if you go back
Speaker 3: and I appreciate the call, I would say that I
Speaker 3: said this during the preseason. If you go look at
Speaker 3: Mark Pope's career, it's been one consistent thing. He beats
Speaker 3: great teams and then he loses to random teams. That's
Speaker 3: been his that was his career at Utah Valley State,
Speaker 3: that was his career at BYU, and and I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's gonna be his career here at Kentucky,
Speaker 3: but it has been this year. Like I don't know
Speaker 3: why that is. Maybe it's just the variance of shooting
Speaker 3: threes and all that, but that's been what it is.
Speaker 4: It's hard to even figure out we are We're in
Speaker 4: a pretty deep here, and it's hard to figure out
Speaker 4: how they play so well against some of these top
Speaker 4: level teams that are killing everybody, and yet then they
Speaker 4: can't beat it. We're in a game at Texas or
Speaker 4: Vandy or we you know, Georgia, some of these other
Speaker 4: teams that they definitely are better than.
Speaker 3: I mean, the perplexing games to me, Drew, Ohio State
Speaker 3: was baffling, Yeah, I mean, Ohio State was baffling to
Speaker 3: lose by twenty to Ohio State on a neutral floor,
Speaker 3: and then the end of the Texas game was baffling
Speaker 3: in some ways too, because you know we were up
Speaker 3: and we should have won. Now you also have to remember,
Speaker 3: when we go on the road, we get a different
Speaker 3: crowd than a lot of these other teams do. Like
Speaker 3: I was watching Mississippi State Texas last night, there were
Speaker 3: like five people in the gym. When we're there. It's
Speaker 3: a different thing, right, So I but you know it's
Speaker 3: just Pope in the regular season has these inconsistent moments.
Speaker 5: They have the third most squad one wins. So sure,
Speaker 5: we'd all love to have a better record. We'd love
Speaker 5: to be Auburn. But I mean, if I have to
Speaker 5: lose to Georgia and Texas, a couple of those, to
Speaker 5: beat Gonzaga, Duke Florida, Louisville Tennessee twice, all those good wins,
Speaker 5: I can handle the disappointing.
Speaker 3: Now, let's say we flipped it. Let's say we beat
Speaker 3: the teams we should have and we didn't beat the
Speaker 3: good team. So let's say we beat Georgia, Vandy, Texas,
Speaker 3: and Ohio State, but we lost to Duke Tennessee twice
Speaker 3: in Florida, we'd be like a six or seven seed
Speaker 3: instead of a three seed. So the way he does
Speaker 3: it make sure we have a much higher seed Ryan
Speaker 3: than we would have had other one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way he played out our resume is fantastic
Speaker 4: in the eyes of the NCAAA tournament. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: think we would much rather take that, even though it
Speaker 4: is disappointing when you lose a couple of those games.
Speaker 3: All right, So we are doing the crowd.
Speaker 4: We are doing a crowd.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was told the exact opposite, but
Speaker 3: we are doing a crowd. So let me tell people.
Speaker 3: When we go to Cornbread Hemp on Friday, it is
Speaker 3: at Write This Down forty six twelve Chef Avenue Scuff
Speaker 3: and you if you come, you get a free T shirt,
Speaker 3: you get free samples of their gummies, and a twenty
Speaker 3: dollars gift card to use on their product. So that's
Speaker 3: a pretty good deal. So we are, after month of
Speaker 3: me saying we're not doing a crowd, I guess we
Speaker 3: are doing a crowd Friday in Louisville at their facility.
Speaker 3: I've been out there. It's like in the industrial park.
Speaker 3: It's kind of hard to find, but when you get there,
Speaker 3: it's a really nice in a cool play.
Speaker 5: A picture like Willie Walker's factory, and I like to
Speaker 5: following tub of help.
Speaker 3: What it's like, Shannon, You know, I'm not a conspiracy
Speaker 3: theory person, right, but I don't like them. I think
Speaker 3: it's I think it's a waste of tall Like most
Speaker 3: of the time, here's what happens on conspiracy theories. Everybody
Speaker 3: gets worked up and then the facts come out and
Speaker 3: it's nothing or it's not what they thought, and then
Speaker 3: people just go, well, we didn't learn everything because nothing
Speaker 3: will stop them from having so perfect example as the
Speaker 3: awful Epstein stuff. They released all the documents supposedly and
Speaker 3: there were no documents, right, Like, that's kind of what
Speaker 3: usually happens with all that said. Something's up with the
Speaker 3: Gene Hackman death. Okay, they still don't know what happened,
Speaker 3: and they know it wasn't carbon monoxi.
Speaker 4: That's what they thought it was, right, And.
Speaker 3: Today the Corner reported that they said the wrong dog
Speaker 3: had died. So they said there were three dogs and
Speaker 3: a written. Initially they said that one dog. Yeah, now
Speaker 3: they said we got it wrong. It was the other dog.
Speaker 3: That's weird to me. How do you misidentify the dog?
Speaker 3: But they were apparently dead for ten days they were
Speaker 3: both dead. They have no they have no idea why
Speaker 3: both the both Gene Hackman and his wife and the dog. Okay,
Speaker 3: but two of the dogs were alive, which means whatever
Speaker 3: was in there, whatever gas or whatever that or whatever
Speaker 3: might have killed them, didn't kill the other two dogs.
Speaker 3: So what could the what could the explanation be that
Speaker 3: the husband, the wife, and the dog died but the
Speaker 3: other two dogs live.
Speaker 4: What could that be?
Speaker 5: My fault was the dog was in a kennel and
Speaker 5: the other two weren't, and maybe they could get to
Speaker 5: food and it starved to death or couldn't access stuff
Speaker 5: while Gena and his wife died. I don't have that answer.
Speaker 4: See, I didn't know this until you just told me.
Speaker 4: It was all all the early reports where they were
Speaker 4: suspecting carbon monoxide.
Speaker 3: Plays they've already ruled that out. No carbon monoxide.
Speaker 5: Wow, could it have been Jeane fell because they found
Speaker 5: a cane and sunglasses next to him and then she
Speaker 5: made a decision because she knew he was dead and
Speaker 5: she but they.
Speaker 3: Said, there's no there's nothing that shows any that they killed.
Speaker 4: Themselves, and no trauma to the body or no trauma.
Speaker 3: There was no sign of a break in.
Speaker 5: No, nothing, Wow, it's bizarre.
Speaker 4: It is bizarre.
Speaker 3: Well I just am I did, Shannon. Don't you think
Speaker 3: that's odd? It's definitely one dog dead, other dogs not dead.
Speaker 3: That's odd, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if maybe the dogs were like a like
Speaker 2: kind of like with drusaid, maybe a different part of
Speaker 2: the house. He's probably got a huge house. Maybe there
Speaker 2: was some sort of leak in that part of the house,
Speaker 2: but the other two dogs were somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Well, they said it wasn't It wasn't a carbon monoxide leak.
Speaker 3: If it was a leak, and it would have had
Speaker 3: to be something else because it wasn't. They tested for that.
Speaker 5: My best guess is a dog starved. One of the
Speaker 5: dogs couldn't get to food. The two dogs killed them all.
Speaker 4: That is what happened.
Speaker 3: But what a what a dog starve in ten days?
Speaker 3: I don't know does a dog? I wouldn't think a
Speaker 3: dog would starve.
Speaker 2: In ten days.
Speaker 3: I don't think you would starve in ten days. I'm dead.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Dude, Dude, y'all are shaking hand. You
Speaker 3: don't think dogs would starve in ten days? I don't
Speaker 3: think they would in ten.
Speaker 5: Days, especially got.
Speaker 4: And maybe they had a doggy door they could go
Speaker 4: in and out.
Speaker 3: They didn't have a doggy door. But one of them died. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: so there you go. Still though that doesn't explain the people.
Speaker 5: Didn't she have pills next to her, so he could
Speaker 5: have died. She saw that he was dead, decided she
Speaker 5: didn't want to live anymore, left the dogs as they were.
Speaker 5: Two of them were able to live, and the other
Speaker 5: one in the crate died in the crate.
Speaker 3: Here you go.
Speaker 2: Most dogs have three to five days without food.
Speaker 3: Only three to five days. Where are you getting that?
Speaker 3: Is that aigle? Yeah? Google, I don't know Google.
Speaker 5: Five aliens, I have the one I gave more aliens.
Speaker 3: Five eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven
Speaker 3: seven four five two five four. We will take a
Speaker 3: break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. All right, So see, this
Speaker 3: is why you put things out to the public. You
Speaker 3: learn things. So people say dogs can live without food
Speaker 3: for like three to four weeks, but the water would
Speaker 3: be the big thing. And and Shannon was right. One
Speaker 3: of the dogs was in a crate, so might not
Speaker 3: have had access to water, and so that may make sense,
Speaker 3: but that still doesn't explain the human beings. We just
Speaker 3: still don't know about that.
Speaker 4: I assume they've already done autopsies on the bodies.
Speaker 3: They said the toxic they're in the First of all,
Speaker 3: they lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which we've been to,
Speaker 3: which seems like a weird place for a celebrity to live.
Speaker 3: But they're doing the toxicology reports. And by the way,
Speaker 3: if you've never been to Santa Fe, New Mexico, that
Speaker 3: is a real like there aren't a lot of places
Speaker 3: in America that are completely unique and like there's nowhere
Speaker 3: else like them. Santa Fe is kind of like that,
Speaker 3: Like it's almost like you're in a different country. It's
Speaker 3: a very cool place. Remember that you and you threw
Speaker 3: went out in Santa Fe.
Speaker 2: That Oh yeah, I can't remember where we went, but
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 5: That was Reduction Bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the bar you loved man.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Like all the houses are like old style, I don't
Speaker 3: know what you call maybe is it adobe or something
Speaker 3: like they're all and it's got a down to it's
Speaker 3: just a if you've never been to Santa Fe, it's
Speaker 3: off it's hard to get to. You have to drive
Speaker 3: off the interstate and it's but it's a neat little place.
Speaker 5: My highlight was the restaurant we went to was a buffet,
Speaker 5: like a Mexican style buffets or twins if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 5: But yeah, I loved it all right.
Speaker 3: So the conference tournaments are in full gear. They're going on.
Speaker 3: Have you seen the Atlantic Sun bracket? No, if you
Speaker 3: were one of the worst four teams in the Atlantic Sun,
Speaker 3: you have to win seven games to win the.
Speaker 4: Turn Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: So Bellerman is in that conference, and if you look
Speaker 3: at the bracket, they make it to where you they
Speaker 3: they're trying to protect their top seeds.
Speaker 4: H huh.
Speaker 3: A team like that Orman would have to win seven
Speaker 3: games to win the conference tournament. Do you like that
Speaker 3: to try to protect your your top seeds? No?
Speaker 5: I like the chance of a team pulling off the
Speaker 5: upset seven is just a little too extreme. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's hard enough in conferences that are four and five
Speaker 5: as it is.
Speaker 3: Eastern Kentucky, by the way, is out already. They lost
Speaker 3: in the whatever round they were they were in. They
Speaker 3: lost at Jacksonville. But they're going on. It really starts
Speaker 3: in full tonight. There's a ton of games going. Do
Speaker 3: you enjoy the small conference tournaments?
Speaker 4: And that's why I don't like what you said they're
Speaker 4: doing in the Atlantic sun Man. That's what March. That's
Speaker 4: what makes March Madness special.
Speaker 3: But it also makes the regular season meaningless if you
Speaker 3: don't do it like this, like it makes it to
Speaker 3: where it doesn't even matter because in the conference tournament
Speaker 3: you don't even get a bye, So like, why not?
Speaker 3: The goal is to try to protect the teams that
Speaker 3: do well in the regular.
Speaker 4: Smaller conferences, want their good teams to get in the
Speaker 4: tournament and do something. Yeah, I don't know. I kind
Speaker 4: of like just a regular format, just and watch somebody
Speaker 4: go on a Cinderella run.
Speaker 5: I just love conference tournaments because usually at about noon
Speaker 5: I can sit at home and get all my DraftKings
Speaker 5: app and bet and watch college basketball all day on
Speaker 5: a weekday.
Speaker 3: How do you think Kentucky's women are gonna Do you
Speaker 3: know they're in? They play their four seed. Looks like
Speaker 3: they'll probably play Alabama in their first game, a team
Speaker 3: that I think they beat earlier this year, and then
Speaker 3: if they would win, they got lucky Texas lost the
Speaker 3: coin flip, so they're on the opposite side of Texas.
Speaker 3: Any chance Kenny Brooks's team makes a run.
Speaker 4: They can definitely make a run. I mean the fact
Speaker 4: that they're got that double bike on of helping, they're
Speaker 4: just sitting there and rest up, and they're talented enough
Speaker 4: that they've shown they can compete with those with the big,
Speaker 4: big boys, big girls in the SEC.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought Columbia. I mean, they lost by double digits,
Speaker 5: but to get with them two in the fourth quarter
Speaker 5: showed me they can hang with those teams for a while.
Speaker 5: And if you're in it in the fourth who knows,
Speaker 5: maybe in the tournament you flip the script and go
Speaker 5: on to win it.
Speaker 3: By the way Kenny Brooks said it is on his
Speaker 3: final radio show, he kind of gave a hint, like,
Speaker 3: you think we're good this year? Just wait, did he
Speaker 3: like I think he thinks. I think he thinks he's
Speaker 3: building the team here that can win big time. Before
Speaker 3: it's over, we'll see his.
Speaker 5: Recruit for not next year, but the next year. That
Speaker 5: Madden Greenway. I saw a lot oflight real of her.
Speaker 5: She is crazy good. I can't wait for her to
Speaker 5: get her.
Speaker 3: She's like the best. Only people are eyes. We have
Speaker 3: like the best player in the country coming here in
Speaker 3: two years that's already committed. And the girl that got hurt,
Speaker 3: that Jordan Obie girl. She was supposed to be the
Speaker 3: second best player on this team. She got hurt and
Speaker 3: has been out the entire season.
Speaker 4: Well, I saw George Amore got the KSR bump named
Speaker 4: first team All SEC. So she's going our face because
Speaker 4: of us, exactly right.
Speaker 3: Who's up next, Wesley? Go ahead, Wesley?
Speaker 8: What's going on? I got a couple of things. First off,
Speaker 8: I really hope we.
Speaker 9: Win on the first in the first weekend this this
Speaker 9: coming up tournament, it's been pretty hard the last couple
Speaker 9: of years.
Speaker 8: Me and my brother went up there last year to
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh and it was just it was terrible.
Speaker 9: We got an airbnb and everything and we just left
Speaker 9: her like shrew, we're not even staying up here because
Speaker 9: it was so bad. And then so Kirk carisa is
Speaker 9: is out for the year.
Speaker 3: So does that.
Speaker 8: Say he's coming back next year or like, what's going on?
Speaker 3: I think Kurk Krisa will play college basketball next year.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he will play college basketball at
Speaker 3: Kentucky so I think, I mean, I'm not saying he won't,
Speaker 3: but I think there's a decent chance that that there'll
Speaker 3: be uh that another school you know, might get him,
Speaker 3: just just because I think we have to have a
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler type point guard. Again, could be wrong, but
Speaker 3: I would suspect it wouldn't shot me if he's somewhere
Speaker 3: else next year.
Speaker 4: But he is.
Speaker 3: I think the plan is to play college basketball next year.
Speaker 8: Well, I would hope he would play here. I would
Speaker 8: hope you know, Pope, you know, recruits him or whatever
Speaker 8: he needs to do that. And then I also saw
Speaker 8: that in that current.
Speaker 9: Last bracketology they put out that apparently Auburn is supposed
Speaker 9: to play in Lessington and.
Speaker 3: Up playing here. Yeah, Auburn oi end up playing here.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, appreciate the call. They'll end up playing here.
Speaker 3: And then I think either Tennessee or Alabama, whoever ends
Speaker 3: up finishing higher. So the two teams in Lexington will
Speaker 3: Auburn will certainly be one of them. And then I
Speaker 3: think Drew either Tennessee or Alabama, So Reperena might be
Speaker 3: filled with vall fans here coming up in a couple of.
Speaker 5: Weeks, we can raise our prices here and renout kazbar
Speaker 5: to them if they need it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything costs twice as much for a Tennessee fans.
Speaker 3: We take a break, be right back our number two.
