00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 4: what you would say, sad or angry, probably moving towards

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: angry weekend across a big blue nation. Would you agree

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: with that?

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely?

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 6: It's been a long time I think that we've seen

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 6: the fan base like this about our basketball program.

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 4: But it is. It is really bad, shockingly bad. I mean, Drew,

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: we'll get to the scene in Nashville, But would you

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 4: have thought ten games into year two you would have

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: seen this level of anger in BBN.

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 5: No, not at all.

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 7: And we've now it's been a few days since that game,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 7: and I am actually still in the disbelief phase of

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 7: what I watched and mostly what I heard from the

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 7: fans in Nashville. I didn't have much faith in the game.

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 7: We've seen the team lately. They have big problems. But

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 7: to look that bad and get that response from some

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 7: of your most passionate fans, I still can't even believe

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 7: it happened.

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, aff nine two eight twenty two eighty seven,

Speaker 4: just a lot of gratitude towards all of you from

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: the weekend. You know, it's been it's been a tough

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 4: week for uh, for for my family and me. And

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 4: you know, the various pieces of news about my dad

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 4: have actually come out during the games on the right

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: game days of Tuesday and Friday, and uh, but people

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: have had an amazing response, just overwhelming, and I we all, myself,

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: my parents really appreciate everyone. Uh. You know, it's it's

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: it's a difficult situation, but my dad is is is

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: back home, and I'm gonna kind of leave the rest

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: of the stuff, uh, sort of private with my family.

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: But I I I hope you all will understand over

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: the course for me coming on and doing this show,

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: to be quite frank frank with you can be a

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: good distraction from what's going on, and that's kind of

58
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: what I would like to do as much as possible.

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: But there may be times that I in the coming

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: weeks have to be gone and I hope people understand that.

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: And you know, Ryan Drew, thank you guys for stepping

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: in this weekend, and I'm sure stepping in the future.

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 4: We were supposed to go next week, not this week,

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: but next week on our yearly kind of December road trip.

65
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: We're not gonna do that right now, we'll still be around.

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna be around, but I think it's probably

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: better for us to maybe postpone that maybe until January.

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens. But Ryan Drew, I want to

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: thank you guys and Shannon for really being such good

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: friends during all this and helping out. Man.

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 6: You know, we got your back to just hang in there,

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 6: be strong. We all love Larry life don't even a

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: couple of curve balls. But he's a tough old guy man.

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 6: And if they making beat fight this, it's Larry Vondelle,

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 6: There's no doubt about it.

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: I'll tell him you said that tough old gosh. Make

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: sure that that's what we passed.

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all here for you, man, and keeping in

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: our thoughts and just let Larry know that that we're

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: thinking about them.

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I appreciate that. And you know this, uh,

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: at times, sort of doing this and doing it in

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: a public way and having to go through situations like

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: this in a public way can sometimes actually make it

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 4: more difficult, but then also sometimes UH can can make

86
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 4: it really positive in terms of how people react. So

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 4: but anyway, I hope you understand in doing this show

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: and kind of going forward. It's just it's it is

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: kind of a good distraction for me, and we will

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: we will progress on in that way. And you know,

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: I love my parents more than anything. And Larry, Larry's

92
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 4: a fighter and and and will continue to do so. So

93
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: shifting gears. A lot of the stuff that happened happened

94
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: with me on Friday, So I missed a great deal

95
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: of the When I turned the game on, Drew it

96
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: was nineteen to two. Oh my, I thought I'm gonna

97
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: miss a little bit. Did not think I was gonna

98
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: turn it on and it was going to be nineteen

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: to two. You were there. I want you to do

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 4: me two favors. First of all, explain to me the

101
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: scene in the arena, because I generally believe that Nashville

102
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: provides the best of Kentucky crowds, literally the best, even

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: better than Rapperena. Nashville is the best. What was it

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: like leading into the game and then sort of what

105
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: happened not so much on the court, but in the

106
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: crowd during the course of the game.

107
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: Well, you're right about Nashville.

108
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 7: That was BBN at its best, and then maybe it's

109
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 7: worst as it went on. I thought Gonzaga fans might

110
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 7: travel because when they played it up, they barred brought

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 7: a good crowd. Of course Seattle that's close to them,

112
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 7: but they had a lot of the fans there. There

113
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 7: weren't many Gonzaga fans in that arena. It was all blue.

114
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 7: I hung around. Yeah, it was full, and it's that

115
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 7: SEC tournament. The rowdy crew that you know you mentioned.

116
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 7: It's not the normal season ticket holders that have been

117
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 7: spoiled by having seats for so many years. These are

118
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 7: the people that don't get to go to many games,

119
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: and they sure showed out. Going into it was a

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 7: little weird because everyone was excited, but the confidence wasn't high.

121
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 7: We kind of went in just waiting to see what

122
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 7: Kentucky could do. But then minutes into the game when

123
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 7: they're on that scoring drought, I mean, the reaction in

124
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 7: there it was just truly shock. And then when they

125
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 7: finally scored to break the drought, the sarcastic cheering our

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 7: first basket whatever minutes into the game was I mean,

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 7: I couldn't help but laugh, but it was like I'm

128
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 7: ticked off laugh. I just I couldn't believe we were

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 7: in that state.

130
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: I you know, I want to talk about the buoy

131
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: because that's gotten a lot of attention amongst the fan

132
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: base and amongst the outside college basketball world, because it

133
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: is not something you see a lot in college basketball.

134
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 4: But let's first run, I guess talk about performance. I mean,

135
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: we got absolutely demolished, ninety four to fifty nine. I'm

136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: not sure. I was trying to think of a time

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: I think Kentucky has been more thoroughly dominated in a

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: way like that. I mean a couple times I think

139
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: we've lost by more points, but this was, in some

140
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: ways maybe the worst beating that I've ever seen Kentucky

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: take because it was from moment one. There was never

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: one since where the game was even moderately competitive. And

143
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: I think it was a combination, and I think this

144
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: is part of why there's so much frustration with the

145
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: fan base. Combination of talent, which clearly is part of it,

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: but also a combination combined that with want to This

147
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: was it. I mean when I say they quit, that

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: would assume that at some point it felt like they

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: were in it. Even with that crowd and even with

150
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: that Jews. It was a team of no energy and

151
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: just it was an embarrassment. It was. I'm not gonna

152
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: say it's the worst loss in UK history. There have

153
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: been worse, but you know, the Oakland's, the Saint Peters,

154
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 4: et cetera. But in terms of most humiliating performances, Ryan,

155
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's been one. Do you know?

156
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 6: It was as poor a performance as I've ever seen.

157
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: And you mentioned there there's been some bad losses, but

158
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 6: this time they were they were gutless. There was no effort,

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 6: there was no energy, there was no focus. On the

160
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 6: postgame show, Jack Gibbons said, I knew it from the

161
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 6: pregame warm ups that there they were coming out flat

162
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 6: like they weren't ready to play.

163
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the pregame warm ups for just

164
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 4: a second, because Jack said that. But I was getting messages,

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: so you know, it was kind of weird because of

166
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: what was going on. I had my phone sometimes, I

167
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: didn't have it sometimes and I sort of looked like

168
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: an hour into it, I got on the text machine,

169
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 4: and Ryan, on your point about pregame warm ups, I

170
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 4: had multiple people writing me saying they were at the

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 4: game and they're like, Gonzaga is running like a military

172
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 4: asque warm up where they're like doing drills, et cetera.

173
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: And the Kentucky guys are standing around talking to people.

174
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: Talk to me about that. What are they talking about there?

175
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: Because I got multiple people saying that before the game

176
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: even started.

177
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was Gonzaga. They were getting themselves

178
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: mentally and physically ready to play, while Kentucky looked like

179
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 6: I think they were out there just shooting baskets, getting

180
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 6: ready to pay a pick up game. Like there was

181
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: no focus. A Jack kept using that word, like you

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 6: could tell they just weren't focused, no energy at all,

183
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 6: trying to get ready for to play this huge game.

184
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 6: But they have huge crowds. You chant and go big

185
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 6: blue although throughout the arena, and you can't get up

186
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 6: for it.

187
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: I mean, we don't even like you don't even have

188
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 4: to really go over the details of the game because

189
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: it was everything you can do. We did poorly. We

190
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 4: did not have energy. The rebounding right after we'd had

191
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: multiple we talked about this offensive rebounding thing. Another game

192
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: where we get absolutely demolished, and there are multiple videos

193
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: online on Tick talking on on Twitter of showing our

194
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: lack of hustle. Basically guys not getting back, guys not

195
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: in the right position. There's a really damning, like two

196
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: and a half minute clip of this guy just showing

197
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: all of Kentucky's errors, also showing Mark Pope making bizarre

198
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: coaching errors. They focus on inbounds place where we continue

199
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: to put our center guarding the inbounder and end up

200
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: with their ciner being guarded by a six or three guard,

201
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: three different possessions, and Pope never changes it up. It drew.

202
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: It's I can keep saying embarrassing. I don't want to

203
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: keep doing that, but I can't think of a worse

204
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: Kentucky performance where they did the name on the jersey

205
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: less respect than that one.

206
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 7: I know, just moping around like they don't even talk

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 7: to each other, talking about defending the realm. Grahamy k

208
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 7: could have had one hundred points if he wanted easy.

209
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 7: He was trust every single year. He at least the

210
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 7: last couple of years he had to earn it a

211
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 7: little bit. I mean there was It's like they didn't

212
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 7: have any defense on him whatsoever. And with Pope, yeah,

213
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 7: he wasn't making the adjustments. But this was my first

214
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 7: game because I went as a fan. I'm not sitting

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 7: up in the media seats. I'm a little closer to

216
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 7: where Pope is and I was just watching him. I'm

217
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 7: just as frustrated with how he looks like. He looks

218
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 7: like he doesn't have a single care. Well, I's not

219
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 7: care about an answer or any enthusiasm at all. When

220
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 7: we talked about fans, we're supposed to be the crazy ones,

221
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 7: and we're the ones that are terrified. He looks like

222
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 7: he's more afraid than any fan in the crowd.

223
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 4: He looks defeated. To me, he looks completely defeated, and

224
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: I am shocked by that. I thought, of all people

225
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 4: that have ever coached here, you would never be able

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: to defeat him in terms of energy. I mean, he's

227
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: the guy that when he got hired, Shandon was out

228
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: hugging people on the sidewalk like I mean, he's constant energy,

229
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: and he looks defeated. He looks like a man who

230
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: just hates his life. And they're just and there comes

231
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 4: a point where you have to sit here and take

232
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 4: a step back from the game and go what has happened?

233
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: I mean, this program, it looks like the players cannot

234
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: stand each other. Yeah, it looks like they almost have

235
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: zero desire to be on the court. They make terrible errors.

236
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: We can talk about the design and roster build, and

237
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: I think it's clearly faulty, But they're not even like

238
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: they look like a bunch of guys that just met

239
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: each other and don't and they and don't want to

240
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 4: be around each other. I've never seen anything like it,

241
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: and I've never seen a coach that in four weeks.

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: Ryan seems like a more different person than he did

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: four weeks ago.

244
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 6: I'm sure you just got I am.

245
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: I am absolutely baffled by how bad they are.

246
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure you got get the same messages I did.

247
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 6: The people that were there, and Drew maybe can say this.

248
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 6: They look on Pope's face like they said, I feel

249
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 6: sorry for him. He looks like he has no idea

250
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: what to do, like he's feel sorry for him.

251
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I like him a lot, but I don't

252
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 4: feel sorry for him like you. You can't. You're the leader,

253
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: like sometimes you just have to be the one, even

254
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: if it's put on a fake front. Drew, I don't

255
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 4: feel sorry for him. You put this team together, you

256
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 4: coached him. You told us when they were a ferrari

257
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: like what's going on?

258
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: And that was a problem for me. Even before this game,

259
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 7: like stick your chest out and be the leader of

260
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 7: Kentucky basketball, Like why are you I keep using the

261
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 7: braveheart reference, like we're at war and he's in the

262
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 7: back of the pack, hiding behind the back line, back

263
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 7: there when he's supposed to be in the front, putting

264
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 7: on a good front. Some leadership here, Like just seeing

265
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 7: looks so scared makes everyone else so scared.

266
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: Let's quote our good friend John cal Perry. There's no

267
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 4: crime on the yacht.

268
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 6: No, there's not.

269
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: You're in Kentucky. You spent more money on this roster

270
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: than anybody else in the country. You played here, you

271
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: don't get to like when the ship's going down, you

272
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: have to be at the front. And I I'm baffled.

273
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm baffled looking at guys that like otega Oway, who's

274
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: okay although sometimes quit on plays, and I I don't

275
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: know how much Shannon I can watch Denzel Aberdeen shoot anymore.

276
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: And I and no one just standing out at the

277
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: three point line, Like I don't get it.

278
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: It's it's like a personality issue that this team has

279
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: clashers and you see, like you know, loose balls that

280
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: they are just not going after even being.

281
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: Going for Look, this roster is poorly constructed, Okay, and

282
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: that's a different way. It's poorly constructed, but right, it

283
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: ain't getting beat thirty five points in Nashville poorly constructed.

284
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 6: No, And I think that's the thing that scares me

285
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 6: the most is like they're getting worse, Like they're progressively

286
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: getting it's worse, getting worse.

287
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 4: The Louisville game was a loss, but actually, don't I

288
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: think was something to be embarrassed by it. Agree, you

289
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: played Louisville on the road, you played them hard, you

290
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 4: came back, you had a shot. The Mischigan State loss

291
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: was kind of embarrassing, but they're pretty good. I thought

292
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: the North Carolina loss was embarrassing. But this is a whole,

293
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 4: nother level. Yep, this is a whole Now. You don't

294
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: lose by thirty five points to anybody at Kentucky and

295
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: I am. I am at a loss for what has happened.

296
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: Their roster is bad, badly constructed, but it's not this bad.

297
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: Something has happened with this group, and Mark Pope has

298
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: got to like, I don't want to say, hey, go

299
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: figure it out, but figure it out because this is

300
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: this is ridiculous. Now we do have to talk about

301
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: the booty because that's a lot of people have had

302
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: strong thoughts. We'll deal with that and take your calls

303
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: next to our KASR. Who is this shin Fleetwood Mac?

304
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: What's his name?

305
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: With song Monday Morning?

306
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: So you know, I've actually decided I like Fleetwood Mac.

307
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: I had no exposure to them except for that song

308
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: that they sang at Bill Clinton's inauguration. I can't remember

309
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: what it is, and then silver Spring that was it.

310
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: That's all I knew about him. And then over the years,

311
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: whether it's that one that they say is the hardest

312
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: song to play or this one, I've decided I like

313
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: Fleetwood Mac. Is it just because I'm getting older? I think? So?

314
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys hit the Fleetwood Mic age.

315
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: Where is it like forties or Fleetwood at Mac?

316
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, like mid forties you start.

317
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: To get Fleetwood Mac.

318
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you go from nineties hip hop to I still.

319
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: Like that too, but I kind of like Fleetwood Mac.

320
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: I meant to say this at the beginning and I forgot,

321
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: So let me just go quickly on the schedule. I'm

322
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: going to try to be here every morning show that

323
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: I can. I may not always be in uh in

324
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 4: studio or at the bar. I'll try to tell you

325
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: when I am, but I'll try and trying to do

326
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: as many of these as I can. I won't be

327
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: doing the game stuff tomorrow. Hopefully going forward, I'll be

328
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 4: able to do most of them. But but but I

329
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: am going to try to do the morning shows. But

330
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 4: I've just got to say up front, I don't know

331
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 4: uh when I'll be like in person, but I'll be

332
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 4: around as much as possible. So I just want I

333
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: feel like I should let people know that because I

334
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 4: know sometimes people come and want to see us and

335
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: remotes we're going to try to do as well. A

336
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: five nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. All right,

337
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: So the booing, I'm not a booer, Okay, Like, I

338
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: don't boo anyone except the umpires drew at the Reds game.

339
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 4: That's really the only people I ever bow, right. I

340
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: do boo the umpires at the Reds game because they're

341
00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: always cheating the Reds and I generally am a don't

342
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 4: boot college kids. Now, the Nile situation has changed stuff

343
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 4: a lot in that regard, and it has not changed

344
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 4: the mind of whether or not I would boo, but

345
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: I now understand why people boo a little bit more

346
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 4: you were at the game. One of the things about

347
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 4: booing is it can be only a few people, and

348
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: it can sound like it's everybody, because booing's loud. Booing's

349
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 4: louder than clappy. Sometimes you'll see like the president or

350
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 4: something come to a game. It'll seem like the whole

351
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: crowd's booing, but then they show individual shots and it'll

352
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: only be a handful of people. It's just booing can

353
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: be loud. You're there. What percentage of the audience, Drew,

354
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 4: do you think was actually booing on Friday night?

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: Oh? It was a lot, is it?

356
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 4: Uh?

357
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 8: Yeah?

358
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it was a whole lot.

359
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: And what do we say, what's a lot percent?

360
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 5: I'll go twenty. You know, it was like half of

361
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 5: the crowd.

362
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: Twenty percent of the crowd was booing.

363
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 5: It felt like it.

364
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 7: And I didn't boo. And I'm not trying to say

365
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 7: I'm too good to boot. My jaw was on the

366
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 7: floor and just taking it all in. I'm looking around like,

367
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 7: oh my god, Kentucky fans are booming the home team

368
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 7: like again, that goes back to just the shock of

369
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 7: so many things that happened that night, And can you.

370
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 4: Remember can anybody ever remember booze like that at a

371
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: Kentucky It's happened sometimes in football. Can you ever remember

372
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: any of you that level booing at a Kentucky basketball They.

373
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 7: Got booed by in the UNC Wilmington lost, But it

374
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 7: wasn't a fraction of the booing.

375
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: But this was this was booing, was six minutes to

376
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: go in the first half booing. This wasn't at the

377
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: end of the game. There were only fourteen minutes into

378
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: the game.

379
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 7: Ryan, do you not all boozs are the same. This

380
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 7: was anger, This was coming from This was coming from

381
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 7: the belly. This was like maybe even pent up, going

382
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 7: back to past coaching eras and ok, this was like

383
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 7: a release of I am so disappointed in this program

384
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 7: the last several years.

385
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: Ryan, You've been around long as long as I have.

386
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 4: But actually, at the games, can you ever remember it worse? Never? Never?

387
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 6: I mean it was loud and deafening and in the

388
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 6: first half they booed our team off the court. At halftime,

389
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 6: I've never seen that. I mean, it was a bad

390
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: look for us, But I kind of outline, I'm like

391
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: you I'm not a boorer. I wouldn't do it, but

392
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 6: I understand why some of those people were. They spent

393
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 6: a lot of money to watch that team and then

394
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 6: they stunk it up.

395
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: I think it's a coll Okay, So I think I

396
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: think you guys hit a majority of why. I think

397
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: it happened, all right, So start with five or six

398
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: years of kind of being disappointed about UK basketball.

399
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 6: Yep.

400
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 4: I think that's a part of it. Like we've we've

401
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: not been what's the steat We've been to the Saturday

402
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 4: of the SEC Tournament once in the last seven years,

403
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: something like that.

404
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 7: I think the last time we were there is twenty nineteen.

405
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh only been far as we've been to Sweet

406
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 4: sixteen and that was last year in the last five

407
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: or six years. So I think that's part of it.

408
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 4: I think another part of it is that we've gotten

409
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: progressively worse as the season goes around. That we spent

410
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: allegedly twenty two million dollars on the roster. I think

411
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 4: that numbers high, but we still probably spend as much

412
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: as anybody in college basketball. That we were told by

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: the staff and media who kind of believed it that

414
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 4: this was gonna be a Ferrari that we lost at

415
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: home to North Carolina on Tuesday, and then that we're

416
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: in Nashville. Everybody's been drinking and party and it's that rowdy,

417
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: fun Kentucky crowd. And the one thing Kentucky fans won't

418
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: accept is quitting and not giving energy. We had a

419
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 4: team last year that wasn't quite as talented, but it

420
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: always felt like every single one of those guys gave

421
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 4: you everything they had, and now this year you get

422
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: the exact opposite, or at least it feels like the

423
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: exact opposite. Drew. I think it's the combination of all that,

424
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: and then you come off that moment and there's just

425
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 4: this visceral sound and then when a couple people do it,

426
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: more join in and you end up with this sort

427
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: of chorus of booze. Yeah.

428
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 7: I think, you know, a lot of it was just

429
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 7: the excitement of that trip. As we've said, you know,

430
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: these this might be the only game a lot of

431
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 7: people see in person all year, might be their only

432
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 7: chance to show their frustration in the team. Then you

433
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 7: throw in all the cocktails that people probably had before

434
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 7: on the street, and just how bad that start was

435
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 7: to go nine minutes without a basket after you just

436
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 7: blew your last game by going ten minutes or whatever

437
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 7: without a basket. A lot of people were bringing that

438
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 7: up in the arena. How we've almost had twenty minutes

439
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 7: of Kentucky basketball without a field goal?

440
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 4: What was it? Nineteen and a half minutes of Kentucky

441
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 4: basketball with two field goals?

442
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 7: And that's when it just snapped, and it was I mean,

443
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 7: I as that was a vicious boo. That wasn't all

444
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 7: we're kind of disappointed, let's play better. That was I

445
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 7: want you to feel how mad we are at you

446
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 7: right now.

447
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 4: Nighteen and a half minutes of consecutive basketball against North

448
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 4: Carolina and Gonzaga, basically at home with two field goals.

449
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have gone ahead, but I kind of understand.

450
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: We'll take your calls. R after this KSR. Smith, personal

Speaker 4: need to try as hard. I don't buy that in.

460
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,000

Speaker 4: Other teams are playing well. Like that. There's a high

462
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 4: level of college basketball being played all over the country.

463
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 4: I would argue outside of Lexington, Kentucky, this is some

464

Speaker 4: you turn on these games. Dudes are giving it even

466
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 4: when they're not playing well. I watched some of Michigan

467
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: State duke guys diving everywhere, Dudes who are gonna have

468
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: better pro futures than our guys, And yeah, I don't

469
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 4: buy that. We are not giving effort. But I don't

470
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 4: think it's the money. It's these guys in this team,

471
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: So you got to adjust. Listen. I watched some of

472
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 4: Shannon Ohio State Indiana football. Those dudes are making money.

473
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 4: That game didn't even matter and they were going crazy, right,

474
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just don't I don't buy that. All Right,

475
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: before we go to the phones, I want all four

476
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 4: of us to take a vote trying to faure out

477
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: what's the best way to worry about the booing acceptable

478
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: or not? In twenty twenty five Kentucky at Gonzaga, not,

479
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: do you understand is it acceptable to boo your team

480
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: in that scenario?

481
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 6: Ryan, I'm gonna say no.

482
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: You're gonna say no, even though they make money.

483
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 3: That's predictable, even it is predictable.

484
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: Of all the four of us, that was the vote

485
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 4: I was most clear we were getting was Ryan was

486
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 4: an vote? Why NOx?

487
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 6: Why that you took it out of the equation understanding

488
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 6: why just understanding?

489
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 4: Is it acceptable?

490
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 5: No?

491
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 6: It's not not your own team. Not like that.

492
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 4: Okay, Like if if somebody did harm to your child

493
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 4: and then you hurt that person, that might be you

494
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: might understand, but it's not acceptable. Right, Yes, so this

495
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: is a so but so you're saying that it's my vote?

496
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, without hesitation. Yes, it's acceptable. They are

497
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 7: really so bad. I mean, when you don't even try,

498
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 7: that's a different story. If you're losing because shots aren't

499
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 7: going in, or your bad matchup or your coaching fills,

500
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 7: that's you take your loss and you go home. These

501
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 7: are guys that are giving no effort, and in four

502
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 7: games against teams with the pulse have lost by like

503
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 7: a combined sixty five points.

504
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 5: So sure, it's.

505
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 7: Stinks that you bow your own team, but it stinks

506
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 7: that your team doesn't show up when the lights come on.

507
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 4: To Shannon, it.

508
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 3: Is acceptable Ryan to boo that team.

509
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: When you're nine minutes into the game and your best

510
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: offense is two free throws, you boo that team. These

511
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: fans paid hundreds of not thousands of dollars to come

512
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: to Nashville to watch that, and that deserves to be booed.

513
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 3: That was awful.

514
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: What do you think that if I'm not to it,

515
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 4: I'll see I was hoping you wouldn't.

516
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, you said all four of us, You're.

517
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: Including no I I was gonna just move on. No, Nope,

518
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: I would not do it. I would not recommend doing

519
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: But I also think because of the effort, it has

520
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 4: nothing to do for me with the money, and it

521
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 4: actually doesn't have to do with the performance. Okay, if

522
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 4: I felt like everybody was given one hundred percent effort, engaged, connected,

523
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: doing all they can and they just weren't good, then

524
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: I can deal with that. That's then a problem of

525
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 4: roster construction, and you deal with the coach and the

526
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: people who picked the players, and I do think that's

527
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: part of it. But when you're not giving effort, and

528
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: that includes to me, the coaching staff. I sit there

529
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: and watched the coaching staff just stare straight ahead yep

530
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: for the entire game, like none the whole game. I like,

531
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 4: to me, they didn't do anything the entire game. I

532
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: think it is acceptable, And I can't believe I'm saying that.

533
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: Two years ago, I would have said, you never bow

534
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: college kids. Ever, I don't know. I think you never

535
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 4: bow college kids if they at least make it seem

536
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 4: like that doing this matters to them. If they're not

537
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: good enough, well that's life. Sometimes we don't get what

538
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 4: we want. But if they're not going to even give effort.

539
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 4: I can't think of the Kentucky team that didn't give effort.

540
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 4: Go to that terrible Kentucky team during COVID. They weren't good,

541
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: but they tried. Olivier Saar tried every way to make

542
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 4: a shot to win the game through it just never

543
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: went in.

544
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 6: That was just a gutless It was a gutless performance.

545
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: I just can't remember. I can't remember a team that

546
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 4: seemed to lie. I cannot remember any team that liked

547
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: each other less than this.

548
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 6: So that's that's the big, mean dother question. Do you

549
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 6: think a lot of it is internally?

550
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 4: It had? Well, I mean, at this point it has

551
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 4: to be. Look, there have been teams that didn't like

552
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 4: each other. Okay, team Turmoil in two thousand and two,

553
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 4: they did not like each other. I don't really think

554
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: that COVID team liked each other. But even amongst those teams,

555
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: Severe Wheeler and Oscar didn't like each other. But even

556
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: amongst those teams, they found ways on the court, sometimes

557
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 4: drew to play connected, and there were even groups of

558
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 4: players that liked each other. I'm not seeing these guys

559
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: off the court don't like each other. I don't know,

560
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 4: but I've never seen a team that is like not.

561
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: They don't they don't get They look like they've just

562
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: met all of them.

563
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 7: And I mean, he should have done it in a

564
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 7: while ago. But whatever's going on, Pope needed to have

565
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 7: a team meeting. Say y'all figure it out, because there's

566
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 7: a lot of bigger things going on than whatever y'all

567
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 7: have between yourselves. I mean, I don't Pope clearly doesn't

568
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 7: have the fire that maybe some the potatos, the Kala

569
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 7: Perrys have, but he's got to find something to light

570
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 7: into them.

571
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: Otherwise, I don't know what you do. Heck through me.

572
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 7: I might start Walker Horn and Zach Talo tomorrow night

573
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 7: and try to send a message, because whatever he's telling

574
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 7: them in the locker room, it's not only not working,

575
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 7: it's making them go the opposite direction. They're getting worse

576
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 7: and seem to hate each other more and more by

577
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 7: the day.

578
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: He doesn't scream like Callen Rick, but I know he cares.

579
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. It is baffling to me

580
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: how they've played this last week. All right, who's up first, Donnie, Donnie,

581
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 4: go ahead, Donnie Man.

582
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 8: I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through with

583
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 8: your family.

584
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: Thank you.

585
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 9: So.

586
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 8: I'm in my seventies, I go back a long way.

587
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 8: I've never seen a team this dysfunctional. I think it

588
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 8: goes to the coach, and I love this guy. Players

589
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 8: are dogging it. I would get in their face. I

590
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 8: would meet them on the court. I wouldn't wait for

591
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 8: them to come to the bench. I would get in

592
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 8: their face. I'd send them to the locker room. I

593
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 8: don't care about the money. You're playing for the university

594
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 8: of Kentucky. This is unacceptable. I'd send them to the

595
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 8: locker room and I'd go through every one of them

596
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 8: until I got down to five players. You don't dog it.

597
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 8: You go to the locker room and when you decide

598
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 8: you want to play, come back out and play. This

599
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 8: is totally unacceptable. And this didn't start in the Zaga game.

600
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 8: It goes back way before that. And the coach has

601
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 8: got to hold these players accountable. Matt, how do you

602
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 8: fix this problem?

603
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 4: I don't know. If I do how to fix it,

604
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: I'd say it. I appreciate the call. What's crazy is that?

605
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: Like when they play a bad team, Ryan, they look

606
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 4: really good.

607
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: Yep, they're going to be.

608
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: It's so crazy. I don't know. I don't know what

609
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: it is.

610
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 7: In Central is ranked three hundred and fiftieth out of

611
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 7: sixty This is going to be a joke.

612
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 4: Like they're awful when but I don't I don't know.

613
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: I will tell you what Terrence Ogleby said, Ryan, Do

614
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: you know Terrence ogles ogle.

615
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 6: By is or I don't know who that is.

616
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: He's on field of sixty eight. I think he used

617
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: to be a coach, Drew, where is he a coach? Zavior.

618
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: Maybe where did he coach? I don't know. He's a

619
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: ball guy that's on field of sixty eight. Actually I

620
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 4: think he does a really good job. And he was

621
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: talking about Kentucky and he said, look, I really respect

622
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: Mark Pope, how smart he is, et cetera. But maybe

623
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 4: he's just too smart right now, he says, he keeps

624
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: talking about analytics, he keeps talking about inbound efficiency and

625
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: burber Burn, burber Burn, burber bun. He uses these big

626
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: words and he brings in four guys and takes him out,

627
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: and three guys he's says, they don't even do the

628
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 4: basic things. So he was like, if I was Mart Pope,

629
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 4: I'd throw out all of my catchphrases, all of my

630
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: numbers and say let's guard the pick and roll right.

631
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 4: And I actually thought, maybe he's in a case Ryan,

632
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 4: where as smart as he is, he's gotten into his

633
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: head and he's almost trying to be too smart, and

634
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: we've somehow gotten away from just the basics of basketball.

635
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, this offense they're running is nothing like we saw

636
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 6: his offense BYU. Like we were so excited about how

637
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 6: they were going to pass the paths and look for

638
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 6: the three point shots.

639
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 4: See sorry, go ahead, Ryan, No, let's go ahead. Yeah, Shannon, fine,

640
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: see if you can find that Terrence Oglesby clip. It's

641
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 4: on Twitter. Okay, and because he can say it better

642
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 4: than me. But I thought it was really good when

643
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: he was talking about it.

644
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 3: Who's next, Let's go to Braiden.

645
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: Braiden, go ahead and Breik.

646
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 10: This fan base is broken, no hoping, pope.

647
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 8: I got a very special song to play.

648
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: All right. I appreciate the call. You're not it's not

649
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: a Kentucky fan. No, but that's not a Kentucky fan

650
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 4: because the fan base is not broken. We were very

651
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 4: I mean adam positive about will Stein's hiring. Go look

652
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: at the crowd for the volleyball games. That's a Louisville

653
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 4: fan so or an Arkansas fan. It is no one's

654
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: fault because they didn't know. But Shannon, this wasn't the

655
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: right week for me to have my old comments about

656
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: col going to Arkansas go viral.

657
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

658
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: Every time I got online, that's all I saw. It

659
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: was like great. So that made me stay away from

660
00:33:53,080 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 4: being us many. They really follow me. I think they

661
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 4: may be the fan base that follows me. Second most,

662
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 4: I used to think it was Louisville and Tennessee, but

663
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 4: it might be Arkansas now I'm not sure, but see

664
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 4: if you can find that during the break, Shannon, No,

665
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: it's on field of sixty eight. Maybe somebody else sends you, oklip.

666
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: I just think it's it's very upper po Kentucky Skin

Speaker 4: dot com. We'll take a break and be right back.

677
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 4: It's KASAR. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. So the vote

678
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 4: on here looked like it was like three to one

679
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 4: that it would be acceptable to boo with Ryan in dissent. Uh,

680
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 4: let's take a vote on the text. I still think

681
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 4: you get the best cross section of his fans for

682
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: me on the text machine. I think Twitter runs a

683
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: little negative. Facebook definitely runs negative. Some things like the

684
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 4: postgame show I think run a little positive. So let's

685
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: do this just yes or no. Was it acceptable in

686
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: that moment for fans to boo? I'm not asking if

687
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 4: you would boo, but is it acceptable to do it?

688
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 4: Just yes or no? I just want to do a

689
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 4: little survey and we'll see. So seven seven two seven

690
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: four five two five four yes or no? Just texted him,

691
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: all right, So this is what drew This is Terrence

692
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: Elgillby when he was talking about maybe Mark Pope being

693
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: a little too smart to fix this this year, go

694
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: ahead and play.

695
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 5: Because he just doesn't know where to be.

696
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 9: This is not what Kentucky basketball has become a known ass.

697
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 9: Even with Calipari, at least the effort was there. He

698
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 9: kept it simple. They switched a lot, that's fine, but

699
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 9: the effort was there. Sometimes when they weren't super talented,

700
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 9: the effort was there. Now you're over complicating things, and

701
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 9: I'm tired of hearing about like he talks about eccentric

702
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 9: loads and workloads and work output and all this stuff

703
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 9: that requires three degrees to listen to. How about you

704
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 9: just play off two feet, communicate and switch, and then

705
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 9: make sure when somebody curls you have post help, Like

706
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 9: what are we doing? Get back to the simple parts

707
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 9: of this game as opposed to seven three guys in

708
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 9: every substitution. It was a very frustrating game to watch.

709
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 9: That's kind of where I was at the entire game,

710
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 9: because these are very simple things.

711
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 5: Very well, you think, Drew, He's not wrong, It's a

712
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 5: good way to put it.

713
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 7: We know Pope likes the analytics and all the detail,

714
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 7: but his guys obviously aren't getting the message. Whether he's

715
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 7: putting too much on him or he's not doing a

716
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 7: good job explaining it. But if they're clearly confused and

717
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 7: not doing what you're supposed to be doing, so he

718
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 7: should go to the very bare minimum of instruction at

719
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 7: this point because any of his ADVANCEDCS metrics and all

720
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 7: that is just going in one out the others. How

721
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 7: it seems when the players are on the court, Ryan.

722
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 6: You know this. We're in almost mid December. This is

723
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 6: when you're fine tuning things before you get into conference play,

724
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 6: and it's like we're just getting started, Like they have

725
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 6: no identity whatsoever on offense, I don't I don't know

726
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 6: what kind offen the team we're supposed to be and

727
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 6: this is a time of year where we should be

728
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 6: getting ready to head into like your best play, going

729
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 6: into conference play.

730
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 4: When I was a kid Shennon in Middlesbrough, sometimes if

731
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: I would make a lot of my classmates mad, I

732
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 4: would have people say to me something to the effect of, yeah, Matt,

733
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 4: you might be books smart, but you ain't got no

734
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: common sense. They wouldn't say that to me sometimes, right, yep,

735
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: And I think I did have common sense, but that

736
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 4: was an interesting way of putting it of, Like you

737
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 4: can know all the numerical formulas and all the analytic

738
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: you know, charts and all that, but sometimes you do

739
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 4: need to have common sense to be able to walk

740
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: into a room and like interact with people in a

741
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: normal way. I wonder if Mark Pope, just for whatever reason,

742
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 4: can't have the common sense to interact with this team,

743
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 4: they just don't get him. I don't know that that's true,

744
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 4: but Shannon, it could be. It could be. Yeah.

745
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: I mean, analytics are great in certain situations, but they

746
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: don't They're not the end all be all When it

747
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: comes to winning a basketball game. You know, they don't

748
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: tell you a player's effort that they're putting out. They

749
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: don't tell you if a players having a personal issue

750
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: which is causing them to play bad that day. I mean,

751
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: there's certain things that you have to take into consideration

752
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 2: outside of analytics.

753
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: About eighty twenty ryan, yes, of people saying you it's

754
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 4: acceptable to boot, maybe more maybe eighty five fifteen, does

755
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: that surprise you?

756
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 6: No, not at all.

757
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: You think that would have been true five years ago.

758
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: No, I've getting ready to say three years ago, maybe

759
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 6: not even true when all the nil stuff was starting

760
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 6: to get started. I think people would thought it would

761
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: be unacceptable to boo your own team at basically what

762
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 6: was a home game like that.

763
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's changed, and I think you know, there's

764
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 4: good that comes within ile and that may be one

765
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 4: of the things you get with more with you know,

766
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 4: to who much is given, much is expected, And that's

767
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: probably part of it with this as well. What's next,

768
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: Todd Todd?

769
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Todd, Hey guys, sorry to hear about your dad.

770
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 10: Hope things get better on that end. I took off

771
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 10: Friday and I drove the five hours and spent the

772
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 10: weekend in Nashville, and I go disagree with Drew. I'd

773
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 10: say it's fifty percent booing because that was really really intense.

774
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 10: But another thing. The effort is one thing. But my

775
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 10: girlfriend even looked at me within first two minutes of

776
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 10: the game, she said, why are you guys not playing

777
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 10: with any effort? You guys just look like you're just

778
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 10: glad to be there. And then it was the one

779
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 10: arm passes and not hustling back. And I'm not trying

780
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 10: to say this to be funny by any means, but

781
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 10: our offense. I've seen fifth and sixth grade teams run

782
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 10: better offense.

783
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: Oh, I agree than when I saw Friday night. We're

784
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 4: playing five out drew, five guys behind the three point line,

785
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 4: and we don't have anybody that can shoot or drive.

786
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 4: I mean, we literally are playing an offense. I appreciate

787
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: the call that you would play with five sharp shooters.

788
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: We're playing Golden State's offense, and Ryan, we don't have

789
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: one guy who can make a three consistently except maybe

790
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 4: Colin Chandler.

791
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 6: Once we get behind, we become a very selfish basketball team.

792
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 9: Man.

793
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, shoot some bad shots at some bad times.

794
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 4: It just I mean, Aberdeen's shot selection drives me crazy, Drew.

795
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: But at the same time, there's a part of me

796
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: that goes, I don't know, man, if you're just standing

797
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: out there and everybody's just standing around. But I mean, like,

798
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 4: there's a play that showcased to me how much this

799
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 4: team doesn't like each other. Drew. Aberdeen drives the pain.

800
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 4: He gets double team. He throws up a shot and

801
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 4: it goes nowhere, always opening the corner. He doesn't pass

802
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 4: it to oh Way, and after he doesn't pass it,

803
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 4: Oway just acts like he shot it, like he does

804
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: the motion, and it was one of the most kind

805
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 4: of blank you things I've seen a plan to a teammate.

806
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe those two like each other, but it

807
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 4: sure doesn't feel like it.

808
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I saw that go pretty viral. I mean, always

809
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 7: pretty much just calling him out for not making the past,

810
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 7: which has been a problem all season with these guys.

811
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 7: That's on court chemistry that they have fallen apart, and

812
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 7: on the on the analytics, and Pope relyon on that

813
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 7: too much. When he says things like, well, you know,

814
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 7: Brandon Garrison's are most efficient, It's like, no, just use

815
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 7: your eyeballs, don't I don't please, do not tell me

816
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 7: how efficient Brandon Garrison.

817
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 6: Is, but for one against Gonzaga.

818
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 7: When he says stuff like that that he's locking too

819
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 7: much of the numbers, like no one else is seeing that?

820
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 4: No?

821
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 6: What?

822
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 4: No? All right, so now we all know it's awful?

823
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: Can it be better? Jaden Quaintance is allegedly, according to

824
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 4: Matt and Orlander, going to return against Saint John's. Well

825
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 4: that helped. Do you think this can turn around? We

826
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 4: will deal with that. Plus I want to talk a

827
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 4: little UK volleyball. They make it to the second round,

828
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 4: will Stein's making moves? Are you gonna pull for Oregon

829
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 4: in the playoff? We will deal with all that and

830
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 4: more in the second hour. The A F I've nine

831
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 4: two eight oh twenty two eighty sevens could be sports

832
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:15,000
