1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the local Toyota Dealers KS our postgame

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: show A tough one tonight, as the Cats lose to

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Gonzaga ninety four to fifty nine in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena.

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: It was ugly and we'll talk about it tonight. We

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: want to hear from you. I'm Billy Rutlie, normally the

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: producer of this show, hosting without Matt. I've brought Ryan

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Lemon into the studio just to toss some things off

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: of good evening. Ryan, how are you?

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we couldn't let you do this show by yourself

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: because you know, usually these postgame shows, even after bad loss,

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: we try to have a little fun, try to make

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: you make it a little lighthearted. Can't do that tonight. That

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: was awful.

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: Well.

15
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: I was prepared to go solo tonight, but I appreciate

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: you coming in from the bullpen. We are in place

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: of Matt tonight. If you have not heard, he posted

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: on Facebook earlier tonight he got a diagnosis of his dad, Larry,

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: that is not good. So he is just not in

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the right headspace right now. We want to send our

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers to Matt and his family going through

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: these tough times right now.

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Matt really apologize for not being here,

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: and he wanted to let people to know that. But

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: he's doing the right thing. He's with his family right

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: now where he should be. You know. That's so Larry.

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: So he said, it's had, you know, the medical issue

28
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: come up his dad, and so he's going to be

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: there for his mom and them. So we completely understand

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: and prayers for Larry.

31
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, our heart is with you, Matt. We're thinking about

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: you and your family. Now, Ryan, you are the one

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: that normally gets stuck with these crappy postgame shows, So

34
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna host this one. Are you okay with that?

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: I've had I've had many many It's times your turn.

36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: But I said, like, I can't even joke about it.

37
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: I'm such in a bad mood about what I just saw.

38
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: That was awful.

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: I mean, as bad as the Louisville game was, as

40
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: bad as the Michigan State game was, as bad as

41
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: the North Carolina game was, Yeah, tonight was worse. It

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: was just a beatdown of epic proportions.

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Tonight, Kentucky shoots twenty seven percent from the field, sixteen

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: percent in the first half, and Ryan, I swear I

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: was in a fever dream for that first half. I

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: mean Kentucky had not scored a point by the first

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: the first TV timeout.

48
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had one point one free throw at the

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: first TV time one point. They had two points into

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: the game, and then at the second TV time out

51
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: that only had two point two free throws.

52
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: Tretton Noah passes up a wide open three and they

53
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: go down nineteen to two at the second TV timeout.

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm losing my mind. I'm pulling my hair out. You know,

55
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: Tom and Jack are doing their best to stay positive, man,

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: but I couldn't help but hit the panic button. Ryan,

57
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I've hit it.

58
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: To put in perspective. Kentucky missed forty two of their

59
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: first forty seven shots.

60
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Is that right?

61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: And to go along with the end of the last

63
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: game where they went two of sixteen to end the

64
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: game and get You're right, Ryan, that could have been

65
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the two worst losses I've ever experienced working here on

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the UK Sports Network.

67
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we simply've been a part of this. We've had

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: some bad losses, you know, Saint Peter's and Oakland obviously

69
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: were back there in the tournament, but this was such

70
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: a beatdown on both ends of the floor. Couldn't not

71
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: make a stop, could not e k could have scored

72
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: one hundred points to night if he wanted to. Huff

73
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: could have had a hundred if he wanted to. We

74
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: could not make a stop. And then on the offensive end,

75
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: could not make a bucket, could not score.

76
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned ek. This one comes from Corey Price. He

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: had more two point baskets than the entire Kentucky basketball

78
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: team tonight.

79
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: I don't doubt it. Seriously, I don't doubt that that's

80
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: it's pathetic. It was inexcusable. I mean, I know we'll

81
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: get to it, but there was a lot of booze

82
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: in the stadium. I can't I don't think I would

83
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: ever boo But you know, those people spend a lot

84
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: of money, bought tickets, hotel, rooms, food, spend a lot

85
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: of time and effort to watch that pathetic performance. I

86
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: can understand why they were upset. Regardless what you feel

87
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: about the booing. It was a total bad look all.

88
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: But it was justified. I mean, the product on the

89
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: court is embarrassing, awful, embarrassing, and they deserve the criticism

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: that they're gonna get. Now. This is something that you know,

91
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned the booing. I look at these guys in

92
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: the body language just jumps off the screen. Yeah. No,

93
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: confidence is something that Jack was talking about a lot.

94
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: This team has no confidence right now. What's their identity?

95
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: They don't have one.

96
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could point to one thing that

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: this Kentucky basketball team does well, what is it?

98
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: Just one?

99
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: Tell me, because I don't think there is one thing

100
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: that this Kentucky basketball team does well. This offense was

101
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: historically bad, and now we have to pick up the

102
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: pieces and try to reevaluate what the season looks like

103
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: because they have Final four expectations, not just because it's

104
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Kentucky and it's always Final four expectations, but a twenty

105
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: two million dollar roster that we've talked about. These guys

106
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: were supposed to come in second year of Mark Pope

107
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: and do great things. But Mark Pope has completely misjudged

108
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: his roster. Yeah, he has recruited the wrong guys.

109
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: I thought we had shooters, guys Cam Williams, Trent Noah.

110
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: They can't buy bucket most of the time. And to

111
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: be honest, Billy, they're getting worse. This is their worst performance.

112
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: It's this they played worse tonight than against North Carolina.

113
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: At least in North Carolina they held the Tarhells the

114
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: sixty seven close game. Yeah, it was a close game game.

115
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: This is they're they're getting worse.

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, when Mark Pope was hired, we all watched

117
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: a YouTube video about Mark Pope's offense.

118
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, do you remember the apps?

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: It was like.

120
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Video game shooting numbers and like analytical approach. And I

121
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: think we all bought in. We got behind the nostalgia

122
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: and you know, this could be somebody that brings Kentucky

123
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: back to a promised land where the jersey means more

124
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: than the name on the back. Whatever, where's that offense?

125
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean this could be see it tonight he's below

126
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: five hundred against Power four teams.

127
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, now he's fourteen and sixteen. I think it's against

128
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: Power fourteen.

129
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: There's no fire, there's no energy, there's no leadership. Now,

130
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: I will give credit to Pope. He was much better

131
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: in the post game. You know, he's usually very down.

132
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: I thought he gave some better answers tonight. But when

133
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: I say leadership, I also meet on the court. I

134
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: mean you went all in on two experienced guys and

135
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: gave them some big n IL dollars this year, Otega

136
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Away and Brandon Garrison, and you could argue those are

137
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: the two biggest disappointments of the year.

138
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 2: Definitely Brandon Garrison and then your two top transfer portal guys.

139
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Aberdeen's not living up to his potential. Diabate hasn't played

140
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: in a month. Like I said that, they're getting worse.

141
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I don't know what the

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: answer is, and I don't know if you heard the

143
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: postgame show with Jack Gibven said he could tell during

144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: pregame warmups the energy just wasn't there, Like they were

145
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: not even focused on the other end than Gonzagi. You

146
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: could tell they are ready to play a big time

147
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: game and Kentucky was not. They just weren't ready.

148
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean they lost to how many points to Michigan

149
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: thirty forty forty and then beat Kentucky by thirty five tonight.

150
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I saw the stat at the end of the game.

151
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: First a in the modern era, a team lose by

152
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: thirty and then turn around a win by thirty against

153
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: two ranked teams.

154
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Then you have DeMarcus Cousins tweeting after the game, did

155
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: you see what he said.

156
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's uh well. Pope was asked about it

157
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: in the postgame news conference, Jack Pilgrim asking him about.

158
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: It, DeMarcus Cousins can't lie. This UK team has no heart.

159
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: This is hard to watch. Shake my head, it is

160
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: hard to watch. It was really hard to watch.

161
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: As bad as it was against Michigan State the other night,

162
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: I mean against North Carolina the other night, this was worse.

163
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: Couldn't score and then you couldn't stop anybody.

164
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up the fans in Nashville because

165
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: I feel bad for them. They spend a lot of

166
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: money to go to these Marquee games.

167
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: Yep.

168
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And in the Marquee games this year, Kentucky's zero to four,

169
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: and now you really have to question will they win

170
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: a non conference game outside of North Carolina Central On

171
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Tuesday when Indiana comes into roupp Arena, are they gonna

172
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: make a three?

173
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: Like?

174
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: These are the questions we have to start asking ourselves. Now,

175
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: I am not gonna call myself a basketball benny. I'm

176
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: not gonna break down the screens. I'm not gonna break

177
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 1: down the play calling that was happened in the game.

178
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: So this show is for you eight five nine two

179
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: eight zero two two eight seven. We want to hear

180
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: your thoughts tonight like we always do. Ryan, I thought

181
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I was flying solo tonight, so I booked a guest.

182
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a good guest.

183
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: Matt Norlander, the national college basketball writer, will be joining

184
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: us for the first call of the next segment. I

185
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: want to get a national perspective of what he thinks

186
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: about this team.

187
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, somebody from the outside looking in. You know, we're

188
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: all crushed because we're fans. Okay, let's leave what he

189
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: has to say. You know, he's a basketball Bennie, he's

190
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: a basketball expert. Let's hear what he has.

191
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's hear what he has to say, because I am

192
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: almost at a loss for words right now, just trying

193
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: to think of what to say going on this postgame

194
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: show without completely burning bridges. Ryan, I mean, I work

195
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: with the UK network, right, so I stay positive. I

196
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: want Kentucky, Kentucky to succeed.

197
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: But we're we're we're human, and we see what people

198
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: are saying. Pope is over his head, Pope's on the

199
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: hot seat. Pope's this big job, too big for him.

200
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's starting to to get out there. And now, Billy,

201
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not crazy. They're in danger of not

202
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: making the NCAA tournament.

203
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: They're not an NCAA tournament team right now. No, well,

204
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how you look at this team and

205
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna have any success against physical teams

206
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: in the SEC. Now, Jaden Quaytan's could come back. Jalen

207
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Lowe came back and had some energy tonight. But does

208
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: this roster have the puzzle pieces to make a Sweet

209
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: sixteen or Elite eight.

210
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: I just I'm starting to doubt it.

211
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: I've run out of patience, like I've just my doubts

212
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: have overcome. So give us a call to night eight

213
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: five nine two eight zero two two eight seven. You're

214
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: on the local Toyota Dealers KSR postgame show. When we

215
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: come back, we'll speak with Matt Orlander and then we'll

216
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: hand it off to you. We want to hear what

217
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: you think about tonight. And I'm sure there's gonna be

218
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: some calls. Hey, volleyball team, one volleyball team, one volleyball school.

219
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 2: We are a volleyball school, No doubt.

220
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: That's right. It's Ryan Lemon and Billy Rutledge. Filling in

221
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: for Matt tonight. We're thinking about him, but we'll hear

222
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: from you next here on the Local Toyota Dealers KSR

223
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: postgame Show. Welcome back. This is the Local Toyota Dealers

224
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: KSR postgame Show, picking up the pieces after Kentucky's ninety

225
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: four to fifty nine loss to Gonzaga down in Nashville.

226
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: It's Billy Rutlerge and Ryan LeMond. Thought I was flying

227
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: solo tonight, so I wanted a national perspective before we

228
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: get to the phones. Matt Norlander of CBS Sports does

229
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: a great job covering college basketball. He joined Matt on

230
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: his Interrupted with Matt Jones podcast a couple of months

231
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: ago where we talked a little bit about Kentucky, and

232
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: Matt now joins us live here on the postgame show. Matt,

233
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: thank you for taking some time, but I need some help, man.

234
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: You got to help me talk through this Kentucky basketball team.

235
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: What is going on with Kentucky right now?

236
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 5: Well, the actual answers to that can only be brought

237
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: forth by the coaching staff and the players because they're

238
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: the ones that have been living through this for the

239
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 5: past month plus and know what really is The temperature,

240
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: What really is the environment? What really is the vibe

241
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: in the practices, in the film, sessions on the bus,

242
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 5: on the planes, all of it right, pregame huddles, postgame halftime.

243
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 5: They only truly know the answer to that. This Kentucky

244
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: team sits at five and four. It does not have

245
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 5: a win against a team that ranks better than one

246
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: hundred and ninety fifth at Kenpom.

247
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 6: It has had four.

248
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 5: Losses to four teams that are well on their way

249
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: to what seems to be quality and DOAA tournament seeds.

250
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: The best loss of the group just happened earlier this

251
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 5: week at home against UNC, which was a miserable offensive

252
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 5: performance on Kentucky's behalf. And then you come back a

253
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 5: few days later and are on the receiving end of history.

254
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 5: And the history is that Gonzaga, which I saw in person,

255
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: get vaporized by Michigan by forty points. Mark Few took

256
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 5: the worst loss in his coaching career all of nine

257
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: days ago. Gonzaga is now the only team to ever

258
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 5: ever lose to a ranked opponent by thirty or more

259
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: points and turn around in its next game win by

260
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 5: thirty or more points against a ranked opponent. So we

261
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: can dive into Kentucky. But right off the top here,

262
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 5: I know you asked me about the Wildcats. I do

263
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: want to at least acknowledge this. Gonzaga does rate, with

264
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 5: the exception of the Mission game, as one of the

265
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: three or four best teams in college basketball. It is

266
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: probably going to wind up with a one to two

267
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: or at worst a three next to its name when

268
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 5: Selection Sunday rolls around. Keep in mind at least the

269
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: competition on display in Nashville. Now, having said that it's

270
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: ninety four to fifty nine, it's completely it's completely unacceptable,

271
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: obviously for every single Kentucky fan. I did tweet it

272
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: earlier tonight. I tweeted it because I meant it. Kentucky

273
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: is the most overpaid, overrated, and disappointing team in college

274
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 5: basketball through the first five weeks of the season. It

275
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: doesn't have to go this way. We don't have to

276
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: get to February, and that is still the case. But

277
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 5: that is still very much the case right now. Injuries

278
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 5: has played a part of it. Sure you get Jalen

279
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: Low back tonight, Great, he only gets one point off

280
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: the bench fourteen minutes. Going to need some more time

281
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: to eat back in, but at least he's on the floor.

282
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: I know there was a fraction of Kentucky fans who

283
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 5: were cynical about the idea that he would ever play

284
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: in a Kentucky uniform. Again, they lack real aggressiveness, they

285
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 5: lack real heart. I know the DeMarcus Cousins tweet is

286
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 5: Ari going to gain traction, And for all I know,

287
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: maybe he's the only former player that tweeted about him.

288
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: But if we get to midday Saturday and find out

289
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 5: there's actually a few more than than Cousins, I won't

290
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 5: be surprised whatsoever. They don't have a collective identity and

291
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 5: feel free to follow up however we want. But I

292
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 5: tell you what, the thing that is sitting with me

293
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 5: in the heaviest manner right now on a Friday night

294
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 5: is I was at the Garden when Kentucky lost to

295
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: Michigan State eighty three sixty six. It took Mark Pope

296
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: about fifty minutes to get from the end of that

297
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 5: game into the postgame media press conference. And although I

298
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,479
Speaker 5: don't know this, I just suspected that in that postgame

299
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: locker room he probably went harder at them than maybe

300
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 5: he's ever gone at any of his teams, or certainly

301
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: any after any Kentucky game. Part of that was informed

302
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 5: by the fact that his voice just felt like it

303
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 5: was coming off horse, like he was someone who is

304
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: not just coaching a game for two hours, but maybe

305
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 5: a little a little more after that. Well, I don't

306
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 5: know if he did or didn't do that, but if

307
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 5: you did it against Michigan State and it still hasn't worked,

308
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 5: then I don't know where we go from here. Because

309
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: when I talked to Pope amid that New York City trip,

310
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 5: he told me that the next two weeks, not even

311
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 5: like week and a half, we're going to be crucial,

312
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 5: not just because they played by game opponents, but there

313
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: was some good time off and it was going to

314
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 5: determine what kind of team they really were going to

315
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: be this season. Well we've seen since then. Yeah, Okay,

316
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 5: they wiped the floor with Loyal and Marina Tennessee Tech

317
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: whatever those are ten Pom three hundred teams. They didn't

318
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: win at home against the UNC team that looks to

319
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: be solid, that should have been Kentucky's game for the taking,

320
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: and then the utter like epic no show here it

321
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: is it is vexing, to say the least, and Pope

322
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 5: will own it. I don't doubt that, Like I don't

323
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: doubt his ability to say this.

324
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 7: Is all on me.

325
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 5: I get all that that can only last you so long,

326
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: and this is now turning to be an uglier situation.

327
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 5: And basically anyone would have thought possible, you know, the

328
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 5: first twenty five percent of his second season in Lexington.

329
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Unacceptable is the right word. And this is a fan

330
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: base that doesn't have a ton of patients. But I

331
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: think the criticism is very valid. You're somebody that's reported

332
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: that it was a twenty two million dollar roster that

333
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Kentucky used with nil dollars. But just something seems broken

334
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if it was the pregame

335
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: before the Louisville nonsense, or if Mark Pope just takes

336
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: these losses too hard. What are your thoughts on Pope?

337
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned Gonzaga Mark Fus doing it again, right, He's

338
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been one of the most consistent programs

339
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: over the last two decades. Do you have confidence that

340
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Mark Pope can do something like that eventually or are

341
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: there some real question marks?

342
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: Now?

343
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: There could be one quick fact check here. I never

344
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 5: actually reported the twenty two million dollar figure. My reporting

345
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: has always been Kentucky was the most expensive roster in

346
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: college basketball, and I was of the belief that it

347
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: was encroaching upon the twenty million whatever. It doesn't matter,

348
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: twenty million, two hundred and seventy two million, it doesn't matter.

349
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: The entire roster is proving to be overpaid at this point,

350
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 5: vastly like this, dramatically so. But just a quick fact

351
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 5: check on that on that point there, because I know

352
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 5: that twenty this is what happens though. You get the

353
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: number that gets reported, this becomes the biggest thing. I

354
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: wrote this two weeks ago after the Michigan State game.

355
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: You get a number, you become the team that pays

356
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: the most for your roster in college basketball, and if

357
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 5: you do not show up and perform as a top

358
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: ten team in the country, that's the thing that gets

359
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: attached to you. It just does. That comes with the

360
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 5: territory poping. The staff knew it. They knew at a

361
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: certain point when you're gonna recruit and you're gonna recruit

362
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: players that are really expensive and other schools are going

363
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: to lose out to you. Word is just going to

364
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: get around in the sport, there's no avoiding it. They

365
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: didn't even necessarily run from it, but now this can

366
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: really boomerang back on you in a negative way, and

367
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 5: they got to figure out how to how to handle

368
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: all of this stuff, everything that comes with losing, and

369
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: everything that comes with losing with this price tag attached

370
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 5: to it. This is a new dynamic in college sports.

371
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 5: It's really only been around for about two or three years, truly,

372
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 5: and so for coaching staff, particularly at the high major level,

373
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 5: dealing with it when he goes wrong, it will have

374
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: to be an acquired skill. There's no doubt about it.

375
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: Does Pope have the ability as a coach to wrangle

376
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: this and turn it around? I do think that he does.

377
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 5: And the reason why I say that is there's gonna

378
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 5: be a lot of Kentucky cynic skeptics status and there's

379
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 5: probably you know, Kentucky fans that are emotional in the moment,

380
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 5: are like I'm already done with Pope, Like let's get

381
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: a move on. That's gonna happen, however, yeah, yeah, Like,

382
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 5: and that's fans that's reactionary stuff. It may have al

383
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 5: it could eventually prove to be true. Sure, but he's

384
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 5: not on the hot seat. He's not gonna lose his

385
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 5: job this year, And frankly, they would have to be

386
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 5: catastrophically awful in order for him to lose his job

387
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 5: anytime before year four on that, so, you know, plenty

388
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 5: of time for him to turn around. He has got

389
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 5: such a devotion and earnest dedication to this job that

390
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 5: I do give him a chance to figure it out

391
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: if and when Quaintance and I say if, I mean

392
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: it really should be a when Quaintance can get on

393
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: the floor, and that might not be for another month.

394
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 5: We'll have to wait and see on that. He truly

395
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: be a game changing kind of player, if low can

396
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 5: get healthier, Otago oways stats kind of feel quasi empty

397
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 5: this season. They've got to figure out some stuff there.

398
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: But Hope's connection with this team I do think is

399
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 5: a real thing. I say that having seen it firsthand already,

400
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: you know, kind of in private scenes from the season.

401
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 5: He can do it, Will he become It remains a huge,

402
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: huge question. Knowing Pope the wid and I know him,

403
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 5: and knowing that staff like they're not going to rest

404
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 5: like they know what the charge is here, Like five

405
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 5: and four don't deserve to be ranked, won't be ranked

406
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: next week. They get a by game next week, and

407
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 5: then they host Indiana, and then they've got Saint John's

408
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: in the CBS Sports Classic, and there's a chance that

409
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 5: game could actually be between the two but most disappointing

410
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 5: teams in the country. We'll see if Saint John's can

411
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: do what it should do tomorrow when it hosts Mississippi

412
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 5: at Madison Square Gardens. So yes, there's still there are

413
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: still things that need to be determined in terms of

414
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 5: line ups, rotations. Pope wants to go ten deep. I

415
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 5: don't know if you can do that. Also, did not

416
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: shoot enough excuse me, did not recruit enough good shooters.

417
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 5: Kentucky ranked outside the top two hundred and three point

418
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 5: accuracy as is, And I'm not yet subscribing to the

419
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: idea that Kentucky had a lot of good things about

420
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 5: his offense a season ago, but it might have lacked

421
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 5: the defensive aggression and overall profile to be a true

422
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: national championship contender, and so as a result, they totally

423
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: overcorrected and now are paying the price for that. I'm

424
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 5: not sure if that's actually the case, but there are

425
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 5: certain players on this roster that are getting a certain

426
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 5: amount of minus that probably should not be getting as

427
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 5: many as they are to this point, and figuring out

428
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: who's it going to be is going to be a

429
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 5: big issue, because keep in mind, when you spend that

430
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 5: amount of money on a roster, there's a lot of

431
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 5: expectations on a player by player basis in that locker

432
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 5: room that come with it, and balancing all that is

433
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 5: not easy. And so here we have Kentucky five and four,

434
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 5: with two more high profile games left on the non

435
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: constantly and then the SEC is not as good this

436
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: season as it was last season. Kentucky is now contributing

437
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 5: to that even more so. But it will be tough

438
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 5: and it doesn't get off with an easy way. A

439
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: month from now, they'll open league play on the road

440
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: against an Alabama team that quite possibly could be ranked

441
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: in the top ten by the time we get to

442
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 5: that game. So I'm sure Kentucky fans are highly, highly

443
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: emotional and just searching for answers. I know I'm going

444
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 5: along here a little bit on you, but I do

445
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 5: want to at least give you my perspective on a

446
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: lot of this stuff. I think that there is still

447
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 5: a chance that Pope can figure out a way to

448
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 5: level this and get Kentucky to be an NCAA tournament team.

449
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: That is a drastic change in perspective from what Kentucky

450
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 5: was in the preseason, whereas pre season ranking was. But

451
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: that's all out the window. Now. You have to figure

452
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: out who are the players you can rely upon, what

453
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: are you doing that is not working, eliminate that, and

454
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: determine how you can win against viable competition, because to

455
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 5: this point they've come up short and with the exception

456
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 5: of the home North Carolina, the other three losses they

457
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 5: were just no doubt about it. Kentucky wasn't prepped enough,

458
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 5: didn't have enough aggression, they weren't together on the floor,

459
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: and Friday was a combination of that and the fact that, oh,

460
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 5: by the way, Gonzaga very well could be on the

461
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: short shortlist of national championship contenders, and they were really

462
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 5: ticked off after Michigan pulled their pants down in Vegas

463
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 5: more than a week ago.

Speaker 1: talked one time before this. Thank you for taking some

467
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: time to join me tonight. This has been great perspective,

468
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: and if they get beat by thirty five again, we

469
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: may have to have you back on. Would that be

470
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: all right?

471
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 5: Well, I guess that's a deal, depending on the day.

472
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: And then I'll just I'll leave you with this, And

473
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 5: for your Kentucky fans listening, the only silver lining is

474
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: it is a loaded, loaded, loaded week in college basketball

475
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: on sports. There is so much happening on Saturday and

476
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 5: on Sunday that this in the moment right now, this

477
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: feels like the biggest thing. By the time we get

478
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: to Monday morning, Kentucky losing the way did outside the

479
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: city of Lexington and outside the state's borders will not

480
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 5: even rank as a top ten result overall, I wouldn't think.

481
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 5: But that being said, I'll do a quick plug on

482
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: College Basketball Podcast me and my co host Gary Parrish.

483
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: This game will get I'm gonna repeat a lot of

484
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 5: what I said tonight on that show on Sunday. But

485
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 5: I appreciate you having me on and good luck and

486
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 5: we'll talk on down the way.

487
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you very much, Matt. We appreciate it. Have

488
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: a great Night's.

489
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: Kind of interesting to hear somebody from the outside end.

490
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: You know, we're all pin panic mode. I'm just looking

491
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: at social media. Everybody's just you know, pop popes on

492
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: the hop seed. We're a five hundred team at best,

493
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. But it's good to hear

494
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: somebody from the outside that perspective, like, hey, stick, he

495
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: can still turn it around. You know, they's still got

496
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: good players and he is still a good coach.

497
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: He also mentioned the emotional Kentucky fan we may hear

498
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: from tonight.

499
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: I'll guarantee they're loaded up on hold right now, and that's.

500
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: What this show is for. So I appreciate everybody listening

501
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: to Matt Norlander or us yeap for twenty minutes, but

502
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: it's time to take some calls. Eight five nine two

503
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: two eight seven. Blanding is our first colleg tonight. What's up, Blanding?

504
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 7: Hey, Billy and Ryan, how are you on? You guys

505
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 7: must be getting hazardous duty bay to night.

506
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish, but we are here for you. Blandon.

507
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: What'd you think of the game?

508
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, guys, I want to ask you, guys a couple

509
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 7: of simple questions that I don't understand in watching this

510
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 7: team tonight. To me, their south selection was absolutely futrid.

511
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 7: I've never in my life seen the team continue to

512
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 7: take bad shots like this one does. They're outside shooting.

513
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 7: First of all, they don't have any good shooters outside

514
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 7: at all, and they will continue one sequence, they come

515
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 7: down the floor and one young man pulls up and

516
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 7: shoots a twenty five footer and there's literally four players

517
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 7: from Gonzaga that had it sealed off, and there was

518
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 7: not a Kentucky player within that four man circle. And

519
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 7: I don't understand the shots selections. They're on offense, and

520
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 7: it's like their offense. To me, it's like you're trying

521
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 7: to shove a square object in a round hole. It's

522
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 7: just they're trying to force these shots and they're not.

523
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 7: The chemistry is terrible, body language is terrible. He has

524
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 7: got to make I mean, they just don't have an

525
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 7: elite point guard this year, you guys, and to me,

526
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 7: in college basketball now, you must have an elite point

527
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 7: guards that can score the basketball and can facilitate handle

528
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 7: the ball and set up stuff. And they to me

529
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 7: look like like giant around objects trying to fit in

530
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 7: square holes. I just don't understand the offense.

531
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 8: Period.

532
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Bland, and thank you for the call. Appreciate it.

533
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: Well, not only do we take bad shots, we take

534
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: them without running any offense execution at all. It's like

535
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: it's like some of our basketball IQ is not very smart.

536
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: They're just standing around.

537
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a time one time we had three

538
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: guys on the wing just standing there. And I will

539
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: say this too, that we showed some effort in the

540
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: second half and Pope left those guys out there. Second

541
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: time he's left the guys out there in the second

542
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: half was Jasper Colin, Otega, Malachi and Yellovich. I think

543
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: for most of that stretch there, he just left them go.

544
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: Let them go. They were getting their brains beat in.

545
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: At least they were giving some effort and he left

546
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: them out there.

547
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, effort is another big thing. I come on these

548
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: shows and I say, I don't ever want to question

549
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: these guys effort because they want to win, right.

550
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: But it wasn't there the first half.

551
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: But the motivation level of college athletes has changed. Yeah,

552
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: you have to think about Nil Shannon, the dude, my

553
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: co host on the pre show. He is the most

554
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: money motivated person I've ever met in my life. You

555
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: tell him, you give him a couple bucks, he will

556
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: do it. He will not do it until you give

557
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: him those couple bucks. Is there any chance that these

558
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: guys are letting money impact the way that they treat

559
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: each other. I mean, I don't think that's that far fetched.

560
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's far fetched either. I think there's

561
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: just there's some issues going on, and it may go

562
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: back to NAL money may go back to I gotta

563
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: get mine, I gotta get you know, improve my NBA status.

564
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know right now, though, Mark Pope has to

565
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: show some leadership. He has to show he's not just

566
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: a former player that gets down when his team loses.

567
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: He needs to show that he can bring this team

568
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: back well.

569
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: Tom Leech was trying to talk to him on the

570
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: postgame show and Mark said one word.

571
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: He did, but that was near the end. He did

572
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: much better than he did in games past. I think

573
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: maybe somebody got to him and said, you got to

574
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: talk a little more.

575
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: That one He said something about the effort, and he said,

576
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: we were paralyzed. That was a great word. I kind

577
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: of felt like that's kind of how we seem like

578
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: we were to not we were paralyzed.

579
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: Todd is up next? What's up?

580
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 5: Todd?

581
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 9: Hey?

582
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 10: Ryan and Bailey? Oh you know why? I haven't seen

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 10: an ass kicking like this, probably since we got beat

584
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 10: by Vanderbilt back during the Billy I was there. I

585
00:26:52,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 10: was at that game, and this nil money. I don't

586
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 10: know if it's possible or not, but they need to

587
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 10: take this money and say you're gonna have to earn

588
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 10: this money.

589
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: You know, well, they can't do that. We can't do that.

590
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: You know they can't do that because the other schools

591
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: are going to give it to them up front. And

592
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: that way wouldn't we wouldn't get anybody here.

593
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: And that already happened to a degree. I mean, Michigan

594
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: paid more money for the Axle guy than Kentucky.

595
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: Did, and that's where he went.

596
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina paid more money to Caleb Wilson than Kentucky did.

597
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: That's where he went.

598
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: The priorities were to keep guys returning.

599
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: You can't say we'll pay you more if you get

600
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: a double double.

601
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 10: I know, I know it's it's uh. Everybody would have

602
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 10: to do it, and I'm sure that could never be

603
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 10: pulled off, but I mean I believe it would work

604
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 10: if they could get it to get it to pass,

605
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 10: you know where you know, like anybody else in their job,

606
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 10: you know, they don't get paid unless they do the work.

607
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 10: And I don't know, I'm just frustrated. It seems like

608
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 10: we struggle so hard to get anybody open for a shot,

609
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 10: and on defense it's like we let them push us

610
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 10: under the basket and then we're gonna pride to block

611
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 10: a shot, but we can't do it because they're already

612
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 10: under the basket and they lay it in. It's it's

613
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 10: just really frustrating. I had no idea this was going

614
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 10: to be the kind of year it has. But anybody

615
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 10: that's my rant, I'm sticking by it.

616
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 1: So we're with you, Todd, and we appreciate you calling in.

617
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us tonight. You know, here's the thing

618
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: that eats me up. Ryan good Zach didn't even play good.

619
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean that first half they weren't shooting the ball well.

620
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: No, the first TV time it was what five to one.

621
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: They were missing bunnies in.

622
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, your jay went off. You heard Jimmy Dyke say, man,

623
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: they hit these shots. I'm shocked they're missing these shots.

624
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't even playing well in Kentucky just could

625
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: not take advantage of the moment. You know, you mentioned

626
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Mark Pope saying the word paralyzed in the post game.

627
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that this moment was too big?

628
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Do you think these guys are coming in scared?

629
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: Well, you heard Jack Givens say they were not ready

630
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: to play, They weren't focused, There was no energy during

631
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: pregame warm ups. And poor Malachi Marino, he got bullied

632
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: all night long by those two big guys. You know,

633
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure it did. Malachi's played so well all year long,

634
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: but tonight was was not not his well.

635
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a freshman starting at center because

636
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: you prioritized Brandon Garrison, who is not ready for the moment.

637
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: Performing.

638
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: So the roster construction Matt Norlander mentioned it, I think

639
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: is going to be under a microscope. Dynasty is up next.

640
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 6: Just guys, uh, just thank you guys for filling in

641
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 6: for Matt. Prayer for Matt's father. Absolutely, guys, I think

642
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 6: we're seeing no one was excited about this higher I

643
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 6: I think Barnhart and everybody got us excited about it.

644
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 6: But unfortunately, I really don't think.

645
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 11: This guy is for us.

646
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 6: He has not won any big games this year and

647
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 6: it's it's gonna be a rough year. What do you

648
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 6: guys think about if we don't make the tournament this year?

649
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 6: What's gonna happen there?

650
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Well, donnastee. Let me ask you before I let you go.

651
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: Did you not buy in with the revival at rupp

652
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen with Tennessee? Do you not? Were you

653
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: not on board with Pope before the season started?

654
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 12: Oh?

655
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 6: Yes, for sure?

656
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 13: For sure?

657
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 6: And that's what I'm saying. Yeah, they bought us, all

658
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: of us though. I think in on this and I

659
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 6: think it was a little bit of full scote honestly.

660
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, that's fair.

661
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a fair opinion to have. You know,

662
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: this was a coach that had not won an NCAA

663
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: tournament game before he came to Kentucky. You could argue

664
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: that is not a good enough resume to come to Canuck.

665
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: You could have hired Mark Pope at any time. He

666
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: was a former player that would have loved the job.

667
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean some of that comes

668
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: back to Mitch and Dynasty. Do you have anything else

669
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: for it?

670
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 5: We let you go.

671
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just think it's if we don't make the

672
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 6: tournament this year. I think it's time to move on

673
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 6: before we end up like La and I think that

674
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 6: should be it.

675
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Man, all right, Dynasty, thank you for the call. I

676
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: don't think that happens. I think they could lose every

677
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: game the rest of the year and Mark Pope wouldn't

678
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: get fired. I think that's just a Mitch Barnheart thing

679
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: right now. He went to the Sweet sixteen last year.

680
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Can have a bad year, but this isn't acceptable.

681
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: It's definitely not acceptable. And like we said, they're in

682
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: danger of not making the NCAA tournament and that is unacceptable.

683
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: But we've lived through it before. We saw John Caliperi

684
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: not make the NCAA tournament one year, came back, had

685
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: some good seasons, So I agree with you. I mean,

686
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: even if they fall in their face this year, I

687
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: don't think he would lose his job. I just don't.

688
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: But look at how much fun everybody's having in the

689
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: non conference right now, Ryan, Like, there's these great games,

690
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: awesome game, good matchups in Kentucky. Just can't beat a

691
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: team that's.

692
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: And now we're all four all in four in our

693
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: big non conference games. It's it's and gotten worse gotten

694
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: worse in each one of them. That's what's scary. Yeah,

695
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: you're right, the Louisville loss is the best we played

696
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: in a loss.

697
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Low actually looked pretty decent. It is stretching that game.

698
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Jalen Low did return tonight. How did he look to you? Uh?

699
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they seemed to have a little energy when

700
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: he came in, but then once they got out of control,

701
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: he just, Pope did the smart thing and not put

702
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: him back out there. No risk any don't risk any

703
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: additional injury when you're getting beat by thirty. So he

704
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: kind of shut him down. But at least I think,

705
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: you know, I saw what a little spark when he

706
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: came in at that moment.

707
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess Dylan is up next. We'll take a

708
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: couple more than we'll take a break. Hey, five nine

709
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: two eight two two eight seven? Dylan, what's up?

710
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 11: Hey?

711
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: How y'all doing today?

712
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: We're hanging in there, man, what about you?

713
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 11: Oh?

714
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: Man, it's a tough one. I don't I don't know

715
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: about everybody else, but I'm a real big Pope advocate.

716
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: He's just such a nice guy. Uh, But it comes

717
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: to the point where I feel like he's just like

718
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: this locker room, it's done. Like I just don't get

719
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: a good vibe about anybody getting along. I think this

720
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: year is just like a lost cause and uh, like

721
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: they just don't vibe together. They don't. I don't know.

722
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how to explain it.

723
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: But.

724
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: I was just wanting to kind of touch base with

725
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: y'all and see what y'all thought about the whole, like

726
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: like how they're playing and stuff like. I mean that

727
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: just it seems like a lost cause for this year.

728
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: Like when I was at the Carolina game and we

729
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: hit one three in front of Tayshaun Prince Rajen Rondo

730
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: and it's just like, man, it was embarrassing.

731
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 9: Yeah.

732
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: And then the guy that hit a three tonight was

733
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Garrison. Again, I know, I know at all, doesn't

734
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: it absolutely?

735
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 3: I know I wasn't the only one. That's Like, as

736
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: soon as he went and put up at three, I

737
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: was like, no, Garrison, and then he hit it and yes, Garrison,

738
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: let's go baby.

739
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

740
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean.

741
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: That's all I had in thinking about Matt and his dad,

742
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 3: and I hope everything gets to going better.

743
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

744
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: Us two, Dylan, thank you for calling in and saying

745
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: that yeah. I mean they're playing bad. I mean, there's

746
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: no other way to say it.

747
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: And there are no shooters on this team right now, nobody.

748
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean the guys are supposed to be our shooters,

749
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: Colin Chandler, Trent Noah, cam Williams, Jasper Johnson. Nobody's shooting

750
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: the ball well. Denzel Aberdeen's gonna get his shots up though,

751
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 2: no matter what gully, He's gonna make sure he gets

752
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: gonna get his shots in. He drove the lane one

753
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: time and forced up a shot and Otago was wide

754
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 2: open in the corner. I mean, there was nobody within

755
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: fifteen feet of him, and he forced up something down

756
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: the lane.

757
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it was eleven minutes before Kentucky had a

758
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: basket in the scam Ryan and it was Aberdeen.

759
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: They were on pace to score eight points won every

760
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: five minutes there for a while.

761
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable for a coach that has the innovative offense. Right,

762
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: one more and we'll take a bright. Ryan is up next?

763
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 14: What's up?

764
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: Ryan?

765
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, I'm not gonna do the thing everybody does

766
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 11: and ask how y'all are doing, because I already know.

767
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 11: I just wanted to say I was at the game

768
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 11: and give a little little perspective of, yeah, what it

769
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 11: was like and really what a wasted opportunity it was

770
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 11: because that place was primed. You know, you guys have

771
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 11: said before that the games in Nashville, and it's it's

772
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 11: just a different version of the fan base, you know,

773
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 11: the ones that maybe don't get to go to RUP

774
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 11: all the time. And you know, the before the game

775
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 11: was just electric. The chance in line to get into

776
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 11: the arena, just walking to the arena, you could hear

777
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 11: Tat's chance coming out of the open doors of the bars.

778
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 11: It was just, you know, it was it was kind

779
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 11: of like an NBA arena experience. And the two loudest

780
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 11: she I will say that because there were some really

781
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 11: loud booze. The loudest cheers were eleven minutes into the

782
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 11: game when we scored our first basket. Yeah, and then

783
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 11: sometime and sometime in the second half, I believe we

784
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 11: cut it to twenty five and every body got excited.

785
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 11: I mean, how sad is that? But you know it

786
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 11: the fans wanted they wanted it had had Kentucky been

787
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 11: able to just even keep it to I'd say ten,

788
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 11: if they would have been able to keep it within fifteen.

789
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 11: That crowd would have stayed in and they would have

790
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 11: gotten loud on the defensive possessions and you know, tried.

791
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 11: It's just there was nothing to cheer for. Just just nothing.

792
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 11: And yeah, I don't know how it came across on

793
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 11: the on the TV broadcast, but but the booze were loud.

794
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 11: They booed them into the locker room at halftime.

795
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:56,959
Speaker 2: That was loud.

796
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: And you stayed for the whole game, Bryan.

797
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 11: I wish I could say I did. I stayed longer.

798
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 11: I left right about the five minute mark left in

799
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 11: the game. And you know, and that's another thing. I mean,

800
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 11: I'm sitting there thinking about traffic over these two hundred

801
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 11: dollars a piece tickets that I'm you know, the seats

802
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 11: that I'm sitting in, because there was just nothing there,

803
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 11: you know. And I'm a huge fan man, And and

804
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 11: I will say, I live in Nashville, so I didn't

805
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 11: have to pay for a hotel. I didn't have to

806
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 11: go out, you know and eat dinner beforehand. I can't

807
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 11: imagine what some of these people paid. I'm just paying

808
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 11: for the tickets, but a lot of people left before

809
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 11: I did. And you know, just the overall take for

810
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 11: me is I could sit here and complain about what

811
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 11: insane or lack of offense we're running nothing, but just the

812
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 11: missed opportunity for all of those people that were there

813
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 11: to night that you know, you hear about a bunch

814
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 11: of fan baseo booing their coach.

815
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Ryan, I thank you, man. We gotta go

816
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: ahead appreciate it. He's right that fan base down there

817
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: is a different fan base, the ones that go to

818
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: the SEC Tournament, the ones that go on the road.

819
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: That's why I understand why they were upset. I mean,

820
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: like I said, I would, I couldn't do it. And

821
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: it was a bad look. But those boos were definitely loud,

822
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: came through the TV, especially at halftime, and then esbing

823
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: isolated on some of our fans booing our team as

824
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: they walked off the court. That was rough. That was

825
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: a bad look.

826
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: There's I mean, there's no other way to put it.

827
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: Kentucky is the story of college basketball tonight, YEP. And

828
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of games going on right now

Speaker 2: Kentucky playing Gonzaga in a high profile game in Nashville,

832
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: and we stunk it up.

833
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: And we got Tulane up thirty one to seven against

834
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: North Texas. Looks like summer all might be making that

835

Speaker 1: playoff game.

836
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,800

Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, that's for perspective.

882
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 15: I'm forty one years old and I'm a season ticket

883
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 15: holder and I spend a lot of money, and so

884
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 15: have my friends. And I'm used to Beatino and Tubby

885
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 15: in the early years of cow Other than Bills Bi,

886
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 15: I'm used to winning, and Kentucky basketball is this and

887
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 15: we are not living up to the standard right now.

888
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 15: And I don't share the same sentiment as everyone else

889
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 15: because I wrote hard for cal for a long time

890
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,479
Speaker 15: up until the last year or two, and I'm tired

891
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 15: of being patient. I'm not going to ride for Pope

892
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 15: like that. I am done, du n done. And Mitch

893
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 15: Barnhart he's going to go out with the blaze of

894
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 15: glory and he needs to side which way that's going

895
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 15: to go. And I got one question. My insurance agent

896
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 15: told me. I don't know if this is true or not,

897
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 15: but I want you out to ask Matt is the

898
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 15: assistant ad married to someone in management at JMI, Because

899
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 15: if so, that needs to be addressed. And that's all

900
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 15: I have to say.

901
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, well, thank you Timmy Tucker's wife. You know,

902
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure on the fact check of the assistant

903
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: ad and JMI, but you know, I think she has

904
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: the same frustrations as a lot of fans.

905
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 2: Right now, Ryan, and she is legit and everything she says.

906
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: He's fans spend a lot of money. I got to

907
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: text in one of my friends, will Jeff Brewer from

908
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: the Commonwealth Band. He said, I bought two burgers, two fries,

909
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: two large drinks for seventy three dollars. Cat scored fifty

910
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 2: nine points. He spent more money on burgers and fries

911
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 2: than he did the cat scored points.

912
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it can kind of get away from you

913
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: if you if you buy a ton of concessions like that.

914
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: But are you d un with Pope.

915
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm not. I know a lot of people are, and

916
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: they're you know, in this microwave society were quick to

917
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: pull the trigger on things. So I still am willing.

918
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: I said this before I give coaches a longer lease,

919
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: probably in a lot of people because my dad was

920
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: a coach. So I'm not dun with him yet.

921
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: Are you No? No, I'm not. But like now, they

922
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: lose Indiana, the honeymoon is definitely done. The honeymoon is

923
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: over and all that stuff.

924
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 2: It's long over.

925
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

926
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the thing, Like I said, the thing

927
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: it's most frustrating for me is that they've gotten worse

928
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: each of these four losses. I mean, the first two

929
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: were they got run, but they made good comebacks and

930
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: kind of headed in the second half North Connor, they

931
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: played great defense, just couldn't score.

932
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: It was a close game at the end.

933
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: It was tonight. They couldn't score and they couldn't play

934
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 2: good defense.

935
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you. I mean, I'm running

936
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: the game, and I didn't pay attention to the second half,

937
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: Like I was just checked out, Like I wasn't gonna

938
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: watch any more of that product.

939
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 2: I was more watching my draft kings under big Are

940
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: you betting punt? And I bet over under? I bet

941
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 2: under the.

942
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: Pun equivalent in college basketball? Yeah, let's take another call.

943
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: Eight five nine two h two two eight seven. Nick

944
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: is on the line. What's up?

945
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 13: Nick?

946
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 12: Hey, hore were going, all right, here's here's my thing.

947
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 12: You know, the days when UK was dominant in the SEC,

948
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 12: we would go to Alabama in THESS City whatever. They

949
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 12: would play extremely physical hacking. You know, you know, they woul,

950
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 12: they would get in a foul, trouble, et cetera. This

951
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 12: and that. I just don't see us being able to score.

952
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 12: My philosophy is, are we just going to have to

953
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 12: resort to just you know, we had two fouls at

954
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 12: what a certain point in the second half when we

955
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 12: should have probably had four or five. I think fowls

956
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 12: represent a hustle and I just didn't see it. You know,

957
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 12: does that make.

958
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 6: Sense to you all?

959
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 12: Are we going to have to resort to hacking and

960
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 12: just being physical? Can this team do it?

961
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: That's the second time I've heard that. I saw it

962
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: on social media. This one guy said, what how did

963
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 2: e k only have shoot like four free throws and

964
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: Hugh shot like five free throws? Like, why weren't we

965
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: more physical with those two guys?

966
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: Because you're not the aggressor. I mean, Jack Gibvens talks

967
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: about this on the radio broadcast all the time. When

968
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: you are the one being the aggressor, you force the

969
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: refs to have to start making calls. Amen, If you're

970
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: going to play passive and just stand around and wait

971
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: for the ball to come to you, then you're not

972
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: going to get these calls. But if you're aggressive and

973
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: you make the ref make these calls, then yeah, more

974
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: going to go your way. So I think it's it's

975
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: got to be like a mindset thing, like it has

976
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: to be a whole over hall with this team. And

977
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: I think it starts from, you know, the leaders on

978
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: your team probably player led right now.

979
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 12: And we need I mean, let's let's commit sorry, let's

980
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 12: let's start committing fouls. Let's start you know, do it

981
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 12: on purpose. You know we got to do something.

982
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, appreciate thank you, Nick. You know we need

983
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: we need an Amari Williams so bad on this team. Yes, big, physical, strong,

984
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: you're not gonna push him around at the same time,

985
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 2: good leader. Remember how mad he would get when things

986
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 2: weren't going well and he kinda get this this snarl

987
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 2: face there on the little huddle. We need an Amari Williams.

988
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Well, he was soft smoking, so when he did speak,

989
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: you listened and you knew something was wrong. But the

990
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: bigger problem is you don't have a big that can

991
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: initiate any offense. I mean, Brandon Garrison is not that guy.

992
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: No yellowch he couldn't make a shot tonight.

993
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: He couldn't even hit the rim.

994
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Now apparently he's got the green light because he was

995
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: he was shooting, no doubt. I mean, Jaden Quainton's is

996
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: going to have to change a lot about this team's

997
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: identity for them to think that they're going to even

998
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: sniff the NCAA tournament this year. Am I wrong?

999
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: No, you're two You're right. You're two big physical guys

1000
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 2: are sitting on the bench, Jaden Clayton's and Diabate. Those

1001
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,479
Speaker 2: are your two physical, strong guys that can maybe push

1002
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: people around and not let us get pushed around. And

1003
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: they're both on the pan on the bench.

1004
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: And then you have to start hitting shots like I'm sorry.

1005
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: Like, what were they from three point land today today?

1006
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: Seven of thirty four?

1007
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: Seven of thirty four?

1008
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't even want to know what the total is

1009
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: of between the.

1010
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: Lines, they were one of thirteen. Yeah, so they're eight

1011
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: of forty seven. Figure that percentage out.

1012
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: I said, I didn't want to know, but you told me.

1013
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: And it hurts just as much as I thought it would.

1014
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: Cameron is up next, Cameron?

1015
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 2: What's up?

1016
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 3: First time?

1017
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 4: Long time?

1018
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: Uh?

1019
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: Who a?

1020
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 7: Uh?

1021
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, So This was the forty third game of the

1022
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 10: Pope era, and in thirteen of those games they've already

1023
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 10: been down thirteen points.

1024
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 16: I mean, Kenny Payne could have done better than that.

1025
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Well, I'll give you a stat somebody tweeted this at me.

1026
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true or not, but that

1027
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: he said Kenny Payne's worst loss at Louisville was thirty

1028
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: two points, and unfortunately Pope beat that today five yep, exactly,

1029
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: bring Katy back, Cameron, appreciate the call.

1030
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 5: Man.

1031
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: So eight of forty seven the three point land. So

1032
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: what that means is they've missed thirty nine three pointers

1033
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: in the last two games, missed thirty nine three pointers.

1034
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: He couldn't hit the broadside of a bar.

1035
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 2: Yet we can't miss and during this summer we're lighting

1036
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: it up, we're hitting.

1037
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: So what's the disconnect? I mean, how come Trent Noah

1038
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: can't hit a shot anymore?

1039
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. He was playing good

1040
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: until he got hurt, and he just hasn't been the

1041
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: same kid since he came back from that injury.

1042
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: Cam Williams didn't have a point. He played fifteen minutes,

1043
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: zero points.

1044
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 2: And he's your shooter. He's your best shooter on the team,

1045
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 2: they said, and he can't buy one.

1046
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: In the pregame, you guys talked about a college rider

1047
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: that did four reasons why Kentucky basketball has not been successful.

1048
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 2: This yeah, that's right.

1049
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: Point guard play was one of them. I wrote it

1050
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: down somewhere right because I wanted to talk about it again.

1051
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: You doubled up on skill sets. You have two of everything,

1052
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: but no dominant player at any position.

1053
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: Right.

1054
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: You have only one guy that's shooting an open three

1055
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: that you feel good about right now, in Colin Chandler.

1056
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: That's it.

1057
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: And then finally you have no shooter at the four. Nope,

1058
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: Cam Williams, I guess isn't going to be that guy.

1059
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 2: If he's got that guy, Yellovich is not that guy.

1060
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: You had a shooter at the four last year.

1061
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: Made a big difference, didn't Andrew had two shooters and

1062
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: Angley Aminor it made so I.

1063
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: Just you know, and Norlander touched on this. Pope just

1064
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: went completely opposite of what happened last year. He saw

1065
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: his deficiencies in the SEC. He went and got Mo Diavaatee.

1066
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: He went and got more physical, but relied on returning players,

1067
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little too much A five two two eighty seven.

1068
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: Let's see who we got?

1069
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 3: Here?

1070
00:48:59,080 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 4: Is it?

1071
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: Bub? Bub is on the line?

1072
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 2: Bub? What's up?

1073
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: Bub?

1074
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 7: This?

1075
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 11: Faith?

1076
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you?

1077
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 1: Is that how your name?

1078
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 17: Oh my god, guys, I'm so mad.

1079
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 3: This is praisey.

1080
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 17: You caught me in the middle of a lot of

1081
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 17: ice creams. But this analytics full crap.

1082
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 12: Who cares? We're Kentucky.

1083
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 17: We we go and dominate. Who cares what the analytics says?

1084
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 17: That happens for a long range of teams.

1085
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 12: Let's go beat these teams. Let's go win.

1086
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 6: Why can't why can't we?

1087
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 17: I don't I don't understand what is happening. I'm sorry,

1088
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 17: And prayers for Matt's family.

1089
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: Matt's family. This is.

1090
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, once again, you caught me off guard. But guys,

1091
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 17: oh my god, Bob.

1092
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: We appreciate you, appreciate you calling and enjoy that ice cream.

1093
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: Don't apo you did fine?

1094
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 2: You know, I can't remember who it was. I don't

1095
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: know it's Jack Gibbons or Sean Woods, one of these

1096
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: guys I heard, you know, the guys that he went

1097
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: out and got were like the fifth person on the

1098
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 2: on the scouting report, like Denzel Aberdeen being the sixth

1099
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 2: or seventh guy on the Florida scouting report. Diabati was

1100
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 2: like the fifth or sixth guy on the Alabama scouting report.

1101
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: You know, he didn't go out and get guys that

1102
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: were the number one player on the scouting report. Last year.

1103
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: Oh Way was probably the third or fourth guy on

1104
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: the scouting report behind Obray, you know, uh, Kobe Brea

1105
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: and so you know some of the other gus, Lamont

1106
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: Butler and even Amari.

1107
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got a bunch of six men out there.

1108
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: Yes, do you think that plays into it?

1109
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1110
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 3: I do.

1111
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: And then when you're the guy, it's very different than

1112
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: being the spark plug off the bench. Yeah, when you

1113
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: can't get a basket for eight minutes and everybody's looking around.

1114
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: We hit two free throws.

1115
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, I mean a goose egg would have

1116
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: been even worse. When it comes to the nationally of

1117
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: this team.

1118
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 2: When it was nineteen to two, we all knew it

1119
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 2: was over. It was over. There was no fight in

1120
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 2: that team at all the night it was. They could

1121
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,959
Speaker 2: have walked off the floor right then. They were done.

1122
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: Matt is a big proponent of analytics, as is Mark Pope,

1123
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: and I am generally too. I mean, numbers are numbers, right,

1124
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: You want to follow trends in patterns, but numbers can't

1125
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: tell you if somebody broke up with their girlfriend that morning.

1126
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: Numbers can't tell you if somebody's got a stomach ache.

1127
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: That's true, you know, there has to be a balance,

1128
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: and maybe there is such an emphasis on the numbers

1129
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 1: that maybe they've been blinded to what sometimes does matter

1130
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: in sports, and that's the human element of it.

1131
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: But you might be right. And if that's if you

1132
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: are right, it's got a change. I mean it has

1133
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: to change. Period, exclamation point, dot dot.

1134
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: Who knows what will happen next? Let's take one more

1135
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll take our final break here. I believe

1136
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: it's Christian on the line.

1137
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 8: What's up, Hey, guys, what's going on the first time?

1138
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 8: Long time?

1139
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 2: Who?

1140
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 8: I Well, there's an old thing that hungry dogs run faster,

1141
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 8: and right now we got a bunch of fat cats

1142
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 8: sitting around. I've never seen the lack of effort, lack

1143
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 8: of intensity. I mean, it's nineteen to two on national

1144
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 8: television on Friday night. But you know what, it's okay

1145
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 8: because those game checks come through. We're fine.

1146
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but anybody's getting paid, right, I mean, Kentucky's not

1147
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: the only thing paying or paying their players, So I mean,

1148
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: you can't have success while you're paying your players like this.

1149
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:48,439
Speaker 8: You absolutely can't. But there's a disconnect with what Mark

1150
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 8: Pope is preaching with Kentucky this and Kentucky that. And

1151
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 8: I love Mark Pope and I wish he would do

1152
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 8: well here, but it's hard to preach Kentucky first when

1153
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 8: those game checks are coming through. And I don't know,

1154
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 8: I just feel sorry for the fans that drove hours

1155
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 8: and hours down there and spend hundreds of dollars on

1156
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 8: the tickets to go and set through that travesty of

1157
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 8: a basketball game for what like this program Big Blue

1158
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 8: Nation has this decade, no fan base has given more

1159
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 8: and gotten less in returned than the BBN.

1160
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, when you put it like that, Christian, I mean,

1161
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Thank you for joining us tonight.

1162
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been some tough times. We've had

1163
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: some angry postgame shows for the football season this year, Ryan,

1164
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: I did not expect the anger to come up this

1165
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: quickly within the basketball season.

1166
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 2: Especially we were riding so high after last season, you know,

1167
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: kind of exceeded our expectations, got to the Sweet sixteen.

1168
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, a li Lamont Butler's injury and Jackson Robinson's

1169
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: injury kind of didn't slow us down as much. Of

1170
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 2: these injuries seem to have flowed us down this year.

1171
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 2: It just seems like just going backwards right now, are

1172
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 2: just getting worse.

1173
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: They beat eight top fifteen AP teams last year. I

1174
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 1: think it was a record, or at least tied the wreck.

1175
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: How they doing against top ranked teams this year?

1176
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: Now they're abunder five hundred against Power four opponents. In

1177
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: Mark Pope's time here at Kentucky, I don't know what changed.

1178
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it was Cooper flag spinning in the corner strip.

1179
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: It it's coming.

1180
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: It was obviously Annabelle. You and Shannon figured it out

1181
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: on the KSR pre show. It was obviously Annabelle. And

1182
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: then Matt making fun of Annabelle.

1183
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: Well that was part of it. Yeah, and then the

1184
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: sage and the water and well.

1185
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: That happened up in Seattle. I know, you guys, we

1186
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: beatn Zaga after that happened. Shannon forgets that part of

1187
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 2: the story.

1188
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: Well you didn't. But the KSR curse still lives on.

1189
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 2: Well, they'll beat North Carolina Central on Tuesday, will they?

1190
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: They will, though, I mean this is what will inflate

1191
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: their Ken Pom numbers, and that's why they're still a

1192
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: top fifteen team right now when you look at the numbers.

1193
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: But Ryan, as we've just discussed, sometimes you have to

1194
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: look past just numbers eight five nine two eight h

1195
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: two two eight seven. Need to take a break. When

1196
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll hit six more callers and when

1197
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: we'll wrap things up here on the local Toyota Dealers

1198
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: KSR postgame show, Welcome Back. It's our final segment here

Speaker 1: Oh, it's like the Bills back in the day. Yeah,

00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: positive thing. They're going to the Sweet sixteen next weekend.

1239
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 2: There we go go to Flowers. Yeah all right, yes,

1240
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 2: Craig Skinner on top of the big blue building.

1241
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: All right, we got six people on the line. All right,

1242
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: let's run through them.

1243
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 2: Right, let's do it.

1244
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: Peyton is up next.

1245
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: What's up?

1246
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: Peyton?

1247
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 4: Hey, guys. First of all, prayers from and his family.

1248
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 4: I'm one of those people that the caller earlier alluded to.

1249
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 4: I live in Hopkinsville, so Nashville is just a little

1250
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 4: over an hour for me. I don't always get to go.

1251
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 14: To rub.

1252
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 4: And going in the crowd was great, uh, but it

1253
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 4: was just so disappointing and deflating for me to pay

1254
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 4: all that money.

1255
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 8: Uh.

1256
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 4: I have a seven week old kid at home, and

1257
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 4: I'm at the point where I'm almost scared to watch

1258
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 4: games with him so he doesn't become a global fan.

1259
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 4: It's just it's really bad and deflating as a fan

1260
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 4: to pay this money and go watch and just get

1261
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 4: that performance. And to top it all off, here's how

1262
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 4: much of a clown show we were? Then de elaborating

1263
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 4: was shooting free throws and on the jumbo tron it

1264
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: said number one. Lamont Butler, Like, what are we doing?

1265
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 4: It's it's just it's just a disaster right now as

1266
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 4: a program. Uh, thanks for taking my call. Have a

1267
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 4: great night, guys.

1268
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pyton, Well, this is why we pay millions of

1269
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: dollars to sports coach because they have to figure it out.

1270
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 2: They got to figure it out. This is their job,

1271
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 2: and you got to figure out quick son.

1272
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so sorry if I don't have a ton of

1273
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: soul sympathy for these millionaires. But they'll figure three. I

1274
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: hope they'll.

1275
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 2: Three of their next five games Indiana, Saint John's, Alabama.

1276
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 2: They got North Carolina Central and Bellerman. But then they

1277
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: play Indiana, Saint John's and Alabama at their next five.

1278
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: And how do you and how do you think they do?

1279
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh and three?

1280
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 4: What?

1281
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: Two and three?

1282
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: They're at rut for the Indiana game.

1283
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 2: Though, I have zero confidence in this team right now.

1284
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: Zero can't shoot, can't I'm almost du in now that

1285
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: I think about it. They better beat Indiana a reparata.

1286
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: You're right, I'll give them that one.

1287
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: You gotta beat Indiana and you beat.

1288
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 2: The fighting Scotty Davenports of Bellerman was whatever he finally

1289
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 2: retired over there.

1290
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 1: What was the guy's name that you guaranteed was coming

1291
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: to Kentucky? And then Lamar Wilkerson. They could roll Wickerson?

1292
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: Lamar really use a Wilkerson? Yeah, no doubt team right

1293
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: now they need a shoot he's been shooting.

1294
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 2: Well.

1295
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: Ryan is up next? Hey Ryan, Ryan, you're there?

1296
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, sorry, guys, we got you.

1297
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 13: So.

1298
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 9: I wasn't going to call into the show, but I

1299
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 9: just couldn't stand here to listen to the blasphemy that

1300
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 9: things spoke about our head coach. Yes, the team's struggling

1301
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 9: right now. I think a lot of it just goes

1302
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 9: back to poor roster construction, which again falls on Pope.

1303
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 9: But we know what he can do with guys that

1304
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 9: fit his system. Look at last year. If it was

1305
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 9: for injuries, that team very well could have been playing

1306
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 9: in the National Championship. I do have one question, though,

1307
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 9: why aren't we seeing the center at the top of

1308
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 9: the key like last year running the offense. And I'll

1309
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 9: leave it at that.

1310
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 12: Thanks guys.

1311
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Ryan. Yeah, I mean Mark Pope is

1312
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: a good college basketball coach. He didn't get the job

1313
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: for no reason. But he also needs to be held

1314
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: responsible for the players that he brought in. If you're

1315
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna get the praise if you win, you've got to

1316
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: get the blame if you lose. Why the center isn't

1317
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: at the top of the key probably because you don't

1318
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: have a center that can distribute the ball.

1319
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 2: That's it. We don't have an Amari Williams like when

1320
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 2: o'mary could do last year kind of initiate the offense.

1321
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: I don't think Malachi or Brandon Garrison can do that.

1322
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: And so that's why you don't see it.

1323
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 2: Why don't see it?

1324
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: But in return, you're not seeing much of anything. Like

1325
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: what is the offense right now?

1326
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 2: If we're not you asked the question order the show,

1327
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 2: what is their offensive identity? Yeah?

1328
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 13: What is it?

1329
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: Is it to wait until otega Oway wakes up some

1330
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: way or midway through the game, or is it to

1331
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: hope Colin Chandler hits a three that's five feet past

1332
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: the three point line?

1333
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Like, what's what is the idea if Dinzel Aberdeen jacks

1334
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 2: up another three? Or yellowch shoots another air ball. I mean,

1335
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what the identity is right now.

1336
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: Look at North Texas coming back thirty one to twenty one,

1337
01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: seven minutes left. Here Andrew is up next. How are

1338
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: you doing, Andrew?

1339
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 4: I'm doing good.

1340
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 18: Guys, thanks for taking my call.

1341
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 7: To start.

1342
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 18: You know, it's it's hard enough being a UK fan

1343
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 18: when I live in Dallas, you know, because you've got Texas,

1344
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 18: Texas A and m Baylor TCU who all have decently

1345
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 18: good football and basketball programs. But it's a lot easier

1346
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 18: when when we're winning and I and I stick with

1347
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 18: UK because you know, I grew up in eastern Kentucky,

1348
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 18: in Pike County and in a in a coal mining family,

1349
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 18: and UK is near and near to my heart and part.

1350
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: Of who I am.

1351
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 18: But that's why it hurts to my core to hear

1352
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 18: Matt Norlanders say that UK is the most overrated and

1353
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 18: underpaid an overpaid team and agree with it. And you know,

1354
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 18: basketball is what I had to look forward to after

1355
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 18: the season that the football team had. But now, you know,

1356
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 18: I can't feel like I can go watch the Mavericks

1357
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 18: and have a winning team to to get behind the Cowboys.

1358
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 18: So I mean, I I don't know. Things better turn

1359
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 18: around in the next few weeks before we start playing

1360
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 18: you know, Indiana Saint John's in Alabama. But I'll leave

1361
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 18: you guys with the question, do you think if this

1362
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 18: was Mark Pope's first year and not last year, do

1363
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 18: you think emotions would be the same or lower.

1364
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 7: Than they are?

1365
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 18: Now?

1366
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: That's a good question, Andrew, thank you for calling in tonight.

1367
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: I think it'd be lower.

1368
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1369
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 2: I think it'd be lower too, Yeah.

1370
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Because it'd be like no point of reference to say

1371
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: that there could be any success in the future. At

1372
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: least you've shown that with the correct guys in his system,

1373
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: he made a sweet sixteen.

1374
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 2: Man. I gotta admit I'm as guilty as everybody who

1375
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 2: thought this roster makeup was, Oh, we're built for a

1376
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 2: big run. We are too deep at every position. We

1377
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 2: got shooters, we got good insight guys, we've got a

1378
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 2: good point guard. We are set, we got Otaga away,

1379
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 2: come back to the Leaders, to the Promised Land. I'm

1380
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 2: as guilty as anybody of buying into that. But the

1381
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 2: roster has definitely got some issues.

1382
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: I do feel for Andrew, though, because I mean UK

1383
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 1: Sports is what brings us together, right, We're all up

1384
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: this late because we care about the Cats. And it's

1385
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: amazing because you could go anywhere in this world and

1386
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: you'll find Kentucky fancy. You can connect to people of

1387
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: different cultures just because they like the same team. And Ryan,

1388
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: has there been a worst six year stretch for Kentucky

1389
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: basketball ever than the last six years that we had.

1390
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 2: It's fair really, you know, if we go back to

1391
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 2: the Saint Peter's loss, the Oakland loss, what happened right

1392
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: now this season? This past what three weeks, Louisville lost,

1393
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Michigan State loss, North Carolina loss, Kenzag and loss. This

1394
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: has been one of the worst stretches of UK basket.

1395
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 2: That is not a long time.

1396
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: That is not the standard. And you should hold people

1397
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: accountable when they don't live up to the standard.

1398
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 2: We are the gold standard.

1399
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: But I'm not done with Popia.

1400
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm not either.

1401
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a giving I mean, we should criticize what

1402
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: happened tonight.

1403
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 2: I wish, you know, we can only can just guess

1404
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 2: all we want, but I wish he would have just

1405
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: laid it out what exactly happened before that Louisville game,

1406
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 2: because they have not been the same since he had

1407
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 2: just told us the beginning. Suspend some guys, if you

1408
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 2: need to be suspended, don't do this beating around the

1409
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: bush and tell us he's gonna throwust little nuggets once

1410
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: in a while and whatever else he said that night.

1411
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 2: Just tell us, because they they've gone downhill since then

1412
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 2: and since the Annabel.

1413
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Doll, and since Matt mocked the Annabel Doll. Jerry is

1414
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 1: up next. What's up, Jerry? Jerry? You going to the

1415
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: bathroom in there?

1416
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 11: Oh?

1417
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, man, I apologized. The The biggest problem I

1418
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 16: got was is I sit there and watched it tonight

1419
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 16: in the first and a half. It won't hurts me

1420
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 16: more than anything in the world. Is is the effort?

1421
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 16: And I have no idea. I mean, I love Pope's

1422
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 16: dead and the hope of succeeds, but Garrison is completely

1423
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 16: But at the end of the day, what's gonna kill

1424
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 16: this team? Right here? We have no shiner play Garrison

1425
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 16: and Marino. I mean, I love Marino beat more of

1426
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 16: a power forward. Don't you think he's.

1427
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: The only one that can hit a three? Right now?

1428
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 16: And yet and another thing is and nothing personal gets

1429
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 16: Jet Lowe when you only got one point guard on

1430
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 16: your team and he's heard all the time, you have

1431
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 16: no idea. There's no way that you can survive. We

1432
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 16: got Indiana coming up, and got Saint John's. I'm not

1433
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 16: so much worried about Indiana Saint John's as I am

1434
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 16: worried about going into the SEC. And we'll probably go

1435
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 16: go into the SEC with a looser record. Fellas, I'm

1436
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 16: more worried about this team, not even excuse I got

1437
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 16: one more thing. Now, I'll let you guys say, I'm

1438
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 16: secured to death that this team's not gonna make the

1439
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 16: n C double a termament. And I love Mark Popeman,

1440
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 16: but we cannot score, we cannot rebound, we cannot defend,

1441
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 16: and he and the people are from man. We just

1442
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 16: we just cannot do nothing right, I mean we we

1443
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 16: don't guard. And I love him. I hope with God

1444
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 16: I'm wrong. I hope you quaintness comes back. And Jay

1445
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 16: and Lowe, I mean Jay, I mean love low but

1446
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 16: he just is so small man.

1447
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 7: But how do you go into a.

1448
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 16: Season we just one point guard. I don't understand it

1449
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 16: for life of me. And I understand he thought he

1450
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 16: had the right roster. They spent this ton of money

1451
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 16: on this roster. But at the end of the day,

1452
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 16: I hope I'm wrong, and I pray to God I'm wrong.

1453
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 16: Right now, I'm just secured to death.

1454
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Jerry gotta gotta stop you there. You know, it was

1455
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: in this game last year that I got hurt.

1456
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 2: It was the good Zagga game. And what he did,

1457
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 2: ran down the other end of the floor trying to

1458
01:06:58,200 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 2: make a stop and.

1459
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: Jumped and Can tested that shot. It was one of

1460
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: the more crazier things I've ever seen on a basketball court.

1461
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,439
Speaker 1: For a guy to get that hurt with a foot

1462
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: injury and still get back on the court. That is

1463
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: a team that cared for each other.

1464
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 2: Yep.

1465
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: That was a team that represented the name on the front.

1466
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: To be cliche, I don't see that effort with this team.

1467
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't see that energy, that want to that pride.

1468
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 2: That's why I think he left those five guys out

1469
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 2: there for a while in the second half when they

1470
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 2: would get down by thirty, because they were at least

1471
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 2: trying to give some effort a little bit. It was Yeah, Chandler, Otega,

1472
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Jasper Malachi and Yellovich, those five guys, and.

1473
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Pope has talked about the players not grasping exactly what

1474
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is trying to do with them right now.

1475
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: So maybe there is a disconnect and maybe that's why

1476
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: you're seeing everybody just kind of look at each other

1477
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: at point times during the game. Two more we have

1478
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: sewn up.

1479
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Next.

1480
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 14: What's up, Sean, Hey, guys, appreciate the call. I think

1481
01:07:58,040 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 14: I have a fear of why this is happening.

1482
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 12: These guys.

1483
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 14: I don't think they believe, and that's why you see

1484
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 14: the body language and the poor shooting and just the

1485
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 14: horrible performance. And I think it all goes back to

1486
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 14: the roster construction. And I think these guys have played

1487
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 14: enough basketball. Think of all the dribbles of the plays,

1488
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 14: the coaches, the years they put into it, and they

1489
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 14: know when something works and when it doesn't, and they

1490
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 14: just don't see it work, and so then when they

1491
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 14: get on the floor, they don't have a lot of

1492
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 14: confidence on what's going to happen. Just all all starting

1493
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 14: with the strategy around how the roster was constructed.

1494
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,759
Speaker 3: What do you guys think, Well.

1495
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call and joining us tonight, Sean.

1496
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing. When you prepare, you're not nervous,

1497
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: you're confident. Yeah, you know, I got much better at

1498
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: the morning show that I do because I cared about

1499
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: it and prepared. I didn't just write some notes down

1500
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: right before the show started, right like I do maybe sometimes,

1501
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'd go and research the warm opinions and

1502
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: write things down, and it showed, and then when I

1503
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: get to the show, I'm not nervous. I'm prepared, You're

1504
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: ready to go. I've got everything that I want to

1505
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: talk about already. But you know, if you do the opposite,

1506
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get nervous, You're going to feel pressure, you're

1507
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: gonna start pressing. And I think those are all three

1508
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: things that we've seen from this Kentucky team.

1509
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: What if all? What if?

1510
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 3: What if?

1511
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 2: What if? The coaches do do a good job preparing them,

1512
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 2: they do have a good scouting report, they do have

1513
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 2: a good execution all possible, and the players are just bad,

1514
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: bad teammates, bad teammates, selfish.

1515
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: Well, it's possible. You know, money could impact that. Money,

1516
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Girlfriends could impact that, girlfriends, playing time can impact that.

1517
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: Jealousy what if it's just a bad mix of dudes.

1518
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: We've had that before, absolutely before the last six years.

1519
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about it, the Oscar Severe Wheeler.

1520
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 1: We've we talked about on KSR.

1521
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 2: That team that divide, but it's turmoil in two thousand

1522
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 2: and four.

1523
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: It does, but it goes back to cal It goes

1524
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: back to the coach Pope these this is the roster

1525
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: construction that they've put together, so they need to put the.

1526
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 2: Puzzle as it goes back on him.

1527
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Was our first caller? And what did he say? He said,

1528
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: that's trying to put a round object into a square hole. Yeah,

1529
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what this roster is. The metaphor for

1530
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Dwayne is our last caller. If it's a good one,

1531
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: what's up, Dwayne?

1532
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 11: Hey?

1533
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 13: This calls to Eli Cappeluto because he's he's the president,

1534
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 13: He's the one who runs the whole operation. And I

1535
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:49,759
Speaker 13: think Mitch Barnhardt the last two coaching hires, he's easy

1536
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 13: coaching hires, like who wouldn't hire Mark Pope because he

1537
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 13: was there? And who wouldn't hire Will Stein because he's

1538
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:05,600
Speaker 13: a hometown boy. So I think there's some accountabilitys be

1539
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 13: held there.

1540
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 5: And I think.

1541
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 13: There's some accountability he needs to hire with Mark Pope,

1542
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 13: and I think he needs to meet him at the airport,

1543
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 13: and I think he needs to have Barnhart and Pope

1544
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 13: their resignation letters, and we need to start fresh on

1545
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 13: Monday with some new with some something else going on,

1546
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 13: because this ain't working. And everybody has seen what Pope

1547
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 13: was going to do after the first few games, after

1548
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 13: last year, and after last year, everything that I mean,

1549
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 13: it's this total failure.

1550
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Appreciated. Yeah, thank you, Bud, appreciate it. It's not Evel

1551
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: like Catholio's fault. It's not his fault. It's not Mitch's fault.

1552
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 2: It's that locker room with that coach and those players.

1553
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 2: That's where the issue is. I don't know what the

1554
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 2: issue is, but there's an issue with this team and

1555
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 2: they're getting worse and playing worse, losing more confidence each

1556
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 2: time out. Got nothing to do with Mitch Barnhart or

1557
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 2: you like Caplotle, that's my opinion.

1558
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: You always say that you're a son of a coach.

1559
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, your dad was a coach. Dad was a coach.

1560
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 1: So I want to put you in the locker room before.

1561
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 14: We leave here.

1562
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: All right, our final thing we're gonna do here on

1563
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: the local Toyota Dealers KSR post game show besides the

1564
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney moneymaker of the game, Ryan, Oh,

1565
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 1: who is it injured? Get small town compassion with big

1566
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: city results when you call the Rocker at two seven

1567
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: zero three two one four four two nine. Uh, not

1568
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: easy to pick one tonight. And I'm taking all the

1569
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: fans that went down to Nashville to watch the Cats tonight.

1570
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: You deserve better. You spend a lot of money to

1571
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: go see the Cats. You are why Big Blue Nation

1572
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: is the best fan base in the country. Amen, did

1573
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: not get to see what you paid for or what

1574
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: you should have saw, at least a competitive game that

1575
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 1: was embarrassing. So our Johnny Rocker money maker of the

1576
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 1: game is all the fans that spent money.

1577
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 2: Even our own Drew Franklin was down there with his

1578
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 2: wife Abby and their new baby.

1579
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

1580
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 2: They were there at the game.

1581
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I think they had good seats too. Okay, so let

1582
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: me put you in the locker room before we leave.

1583
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: You are the son of a coach. I'm gonna put

1584
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: you in the Mark Pope seat.

1585
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeap.

1586
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: What are you saying to your locker room after a

1587
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: game like that? And what are you doing moving forward?

1588
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 2: I think you gotta have you got to sit down.

1589
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 2: First of all, I know people don't like players only meeting.

1590
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 2: There's got I don't think there's a leader. If there's

1591
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: a leader on this team, they need to have a

1592
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:38,559
Speaker 2: player's only meeting. Maybe they had it tonight.

1593
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 1: That's not a good sign. That means the season is done.

1594
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 2: Players only meeting, and somebody's got to step up and

1595
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 2: take control. I don't know. Maybe it is jayalen Low,

1596
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 2: but if I'm Mark Pope, I'm coming in there and

1597
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: looking them all on the eye and said, good guys,

1598
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 2: it's time to grow up. You're gonna be a man.

1599
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 2: Time to be a man. You want to do this,

1600
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,320
Speaker 2: Let's get on the same team. We're brothers here. We

1601
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 2: share the locker room, you share the living cord. You're brothers.

1602
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:05,600
Speaker 2: Help your brother out do the right thing. That's what

1603
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling them. I was getting ready to say something else,

1604
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 2: but no, I liked it. Well, here's what Pope, I'm

1605
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 2: trying to think it exactly. What did Pope say to

1606
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 2: Tom Leach tonight? Tom Leech asked him about his identity,

1607
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 2: and Pope said, we're going to have a product that

1608
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: everybody's going to be proud of.

1609
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,759
Speaker 1: That's yeah, what is your the goal for an offensive identity?

1610
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 2: Isn't that what he said?

1611
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: When you are clicking? Yeah, I believe that was the

1612
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: framing of the question. And he said something that we're

1613
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 1: all proud of.

1614
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes, a product that we're all proud of.

1615
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: Well, you heard it here from Ryan Lemon. It's time

1616
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: to be a man. Time to be a man.

1617
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Shut up and do your job for your brother.

1618
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: It's time to break a whiteboard it is or something.

1619
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,879
Speaker 2: Just whining and crying and do the right thing.

1620
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: Because this team showed no fight tonight. A big thank
