1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local Tony Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: A pretty brutally pitiful performance in Nashville tonight. Kentucky goes

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: down eighty to fifty five, never is really in the

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: game from the start all the way through, and after

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: two games in Nashville this year against Gonzaga, Gonzaga and Vanderbilt,

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Kentucky loses by combine sixty points to those two teams

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: in the city that is probably the most loyal to

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: Kentucky fans and Kentucky outside of the state. You can

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: give a shout eight five nine two eight oh twenty

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: two eighty seven. Look, it's twelve fifteen at night and

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: we just lost by twenty five points. So this is

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: one of those where I say, if you're up right

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: now and you're listening, then I consider you my friend

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: unless you are really rude, but otherwise I don't think

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: you will be, because why would you stay up this late.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: So A five nine eighty seven when you call this

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: like this is your best chance ability to actually get

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: to talk without me cutting you off, because we have

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: to fill this hour with something. Big opportunity, big opportunity,

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: big opportunity to get get your words in look, this

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: is an awful performance. Kentucky is now what fourteen and seven.

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: I will talk in a second about the season as

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: a whole, but I think some perspective on what we

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: continue to see in these games against good teams. Kentucky

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: has played eight games this year on the road against

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: on the road or on a neutral court. Eight games,

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: and in those eight games, Kentucky's been behind by double

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: digits in every single game, by double digits in every

29
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: single game. Even more stark, they've been down seventeen points

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: in seven of the eight games. So on the road

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: this season, Kentucky has been an absolute dud. In the

32
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: first half of these games on the road, Kentucky has

33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: been awful, not just I mean not bad, awful. Now,

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: to their credit, they came back against Saint John's, came

35
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: back against LSU, came back against Tennessee. So they're only

36
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: three and five in eight games where they've been down

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: double digits on the road. But it's still awful performances

38
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: and they've been absolutely embarrassed four times. I think it

39
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: is very rare for a good Kentucky team to get

40
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: embarrassed once during the season. Sometimes it'll happen on the road.

41
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Usually in the sec you'll let one get by you.

42
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Kentucky's been embarrassed four times. Michigan State, Gonzaga, Alabama, and

43
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt have beaten Kentucky in games that they've never once

44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: been in the entire game at any point throughout the

45
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: entire game, They've never been in it. That almost never

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: happens twice a year. It's happened four times, and there's

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: a decent chance with games at Arkansas and at Florida

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: still to come, it could happen again. And even if

49
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: you go back to last year when Kentucky had what

50
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I think was a relatively successful season, this happened throughout

51
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: last year too. First halves under Mark Pope, especially on

52
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the road, they're just terrible, and they're consistently terrible. He

53
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: cannot get his team to play, to come out ready

54
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: to play on the road against good teams. He just

55
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: can't really against any teams. Forget about good teams. Against

56
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: any team. They do not play well in the first

57
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: half on the road. They struggle sometimes at home too,

58
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: but they always struggle on the road. That's just not

59
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: a sign of a good preparation. It's just not, And

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, part of me sits back and says, when

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Mark got hired, I went back and looked at his

62
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: time at BYU, and it feels like it feels like

63
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that we saw when he

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: was at BYU is also true here. I guess I

65
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: thought he would kind of grow out of some of it.

66
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: But when he was at BYU, he would get wins

67
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: that you never thought he could get. I remember he

68
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: won once at Kansas in a really impressive game of year.

69
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Kansas was like number one or two in the country.

70
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: He would get these wins that he had no business getting,

71
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: but then he would lose by like thirty to Central Florida,

72
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: and you would say, what, And we're seeing some of

73
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: that here. When Mark gets beat, they don't just get beat,

74
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: I mean they get pounded. And that's kind of what

75
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: happened today this game tonight. You know, I'm gonna have

76
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: to respectfully disagree with my Jimmy Dykes, who I think

77
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: said in the second half something like, you know, Kentucky's

78
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: down twenty, but they've played really hard. I just I

79
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: don't believe that. I don't think they played hard. Didn't

80
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: sound like Mark Pope did either. As a matter of fact,

81
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: Mark was seemingly pretty critical of the way that they've played.

82
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, just to Tom Lee's just a

83
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. We need to engage our team in

84
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: the game. That's been a space where we've been fighting

85
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 1: a difficult battle all year long to get our guys

86
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: to embrace this idea of being incredibly physical and forceful

87
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: during a game. I mean, that's another way of saying

88
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: our guys don't compete the whole game. And I think

89
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: that's true. This is a team that has a pretty

90
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: amazing ability to fight back sometimes, but they also have

91
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: an ability to just have stretches of just not giving effort.

92
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: And that's what happened tonight. Yes they shot poorly, Yes

93
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: they took bad shots, but they also played no defense.

94
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: You heard Jack Gibbons say that he really didn't think

95
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: anybody except Diabaatee wanted to play defense. I think there's

96
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of truth to that. They

97
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: got crushed in transition, did never got back, and then offensively,

98
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the reality is if we don't get points in transition,

99
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: and if we don't get ball movement, we're just not good.

100
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: If you play a game in the half court, and

101
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: you could keep Kentucky in the half court and you

102
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: limit and you just stay on your man and guard

103
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: one on one. We're not good. We had forty five points?

104
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: What did o Way? And Aberdeen have thirty eight of

105
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: the fifty five thirty five of the fifteen. I want

106
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: to put it thirty five to fifty, you know, and

107
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: those guys look always been good in SEC play. Aberdeen's

108
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: been better, but like, I mean, they're not they they

109
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: cannot score over you know, sixty sixty percent of your points,

110
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: You're you're not gonna win sixty five seventy percent. I mean,

111
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna you are not gonna win in that scenario.

112
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: We got out physical by a team that's not very

113
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: physical the way you beat Vandy's on the glass. They

114
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: crushed us. Everything you need to do to win this

115
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: game you just didn't do. Now, I can sit there

116
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: and whine about it all day, but it's extremely annoying.

117
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: And and the thing is, games like this are miserable

118
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, most of you, a lot of

119
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: you are probably listening to this podcast on your way

120
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: to work tomorrow morning because you went and you might

121
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: not have even made it through the end of the game.

122
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I Billy during the second half read a book with

123
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the game on in the background. Oh you did.

124
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: That's a normal second half.

125
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Year well not not usually UK basketball. That's a Reds thing.

126
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: But it was not interesting. I mean, I had it playing,

127
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: but I didn't. You know, I gave as much effort

128
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: in some ways as they did during that and I,

129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: you know, it's frustrating. I'm not This team is not good,

130
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: all right, and I've not thought they were gonna be. Basically,

131
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I gave up on this team being good when Jaylen

132
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: Low got hurt. And I kind of gave up on

133
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: him being good before that, but I really gave up

134
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: on him being good when he got hurt. I just said, well,

135
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: they are what they are. Can we make the tournament?

136
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: And I still think we can make the tournament, although

137
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: I don't think it's assured. I do think we can

138
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: make the tournament. But we're not good. But more disappointing

139
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: to me than not being good is this roster, which

140
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,239
Speaker 1: fundamentally was flawed even at full capacity, even if everybody

141
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: was playing. This was a flawed roster. But what is

142
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: and that needs to be fixed in the offseason and

143
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: we'll see if that happens. I'm worried about that too.

144
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: But what is more of an issue to me is

145
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: I genuinely think Mark up until this point, has done

146
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: a poor job with this team. He's taken a flawed

147
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: roster and I think he's coached it poorly. They don't

148
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: play to their strengths. Every You could watch ten different

149
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: halves of UK basketball this year, just randomly picked ten halves,

150
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: and you would feel like you were watching six different teams.

151
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: They never play the same style, They rarely play the

152
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: same lineups. They have guys who don't play at all

153
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: for three games and then start with Yellovich, or play

154
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: two minutes and then play thirty four minutes, or are

155
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: the central leader of your team like Diabate and then

156
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: play eight minutes. It is impossible to have any sense

157
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: of what Mark wants to do with this team, because

158
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows. It changes every game, and

159
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: the only two consistent forces are away in Aberdeen because

160
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a choice but to play them back

161
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: when he had a choice, they weren't even consistently playing

162
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: regularly either. Every time he goes to the bench, it's

163
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: almost like drawn out of a hat. Billy, who's gonna

164
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: come off the bench.

165
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: It could be anyone whoever's left.

166
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: There's a Trent Noah, let's throw him in. Okay, Garrison,

167
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: what do you think? Well, let's put Garrison Diabate in.

168
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: That hasn't worked all year, but let's keep doing that.

169
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: And it just he doesn't know what to do with

170
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: this group, and it makes it very frustrating. I give

171
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: them credit. I think they've won some game, a couple

172
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: games they probably had no business winning. But it's just

173
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: not an enjoyable watch. This is, in my opinion, the

174
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: least enjoyable Kentucky team to watch besides the COVID team

175
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: probably ever in my lifetime. I hope that changes. There's

176
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: still ten games left. There are a lot of potential

177
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: wins you can get here that would be great wins

178
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: if you win them. But you know, it is what

179
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: it is. I know we won five straight. I give

180
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit for that. That season could

181
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: have fallen apart in those five, but there have been

182
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: too many games like this. Kentucky basketball does not have

183
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: stats like I'm about to read you. They do not

184
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: have seven of eight road and neutral site games where

185
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: you get down seventeen. That is not a stat that

186
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky Basketball should ever have associated with it. Right, you

187
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: should not have a stat that says Kentucky has led

188
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: at halftime just two times in the fourteen games against

189
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: power conference teams this year. Let me read that again.

190
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Kentucky's had fourteen games against teams from power conferences and

191
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: we've led at halftime twice twice. That's a game plan.

192
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: That's a coach that doesn't have his team ready to play.

193
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can say anything else. And

194
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: then the one that's the biggest kicker to me, Kentucky

195
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: has played forty games in under Mark Pope, forty against

196
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: Power four teams and we've been down fifteen at halftime

197
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: ten of those games. One out of every four times

198
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: we play a Power four team, we're down fifteen at halftime.

199
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Come on, now, I think they do a pretty good

200
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: job of adjustments. I think sometimes when they just let

201
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: these guys play, it works. But a coach who allows

202
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: his team to be down in twelve of the fourteen

203
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: games at half in one season and down fifteen ten

204
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: of the forty games in two seasons at halftime is

205
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: a team that does not have his team ready to play,

206
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: and we can all guess why it is. He outthinks himself.

207
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm not in the room,

208
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: so I can't answer. He's not a good motivator. I

209
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: don't know, but I do know this. Kentucky basketball cannot

210
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: have stats like that. And Mark always says that the

211
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: first half is about gathering information. Well, the first halfs

212
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: for me are about gathering information about the program. And

213
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: the program is starting futridly and doesn't have the talent

214
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: to make up for it in the end. Eight five, nine,

215
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. We'll take your calls.

216
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: It's late at night with Matt and Billy. This is

217
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Welcome back. It

218
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. A lot

219
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: of good text messages on the text machine. One person

220
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: rights Matt. I live in Sydney, Australia. Well, good day,

221
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm finishing up my work day. During the Louisville game,

222
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: my Australian coworkers laughed at how engaged in the game

223
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: I was, and so I made them honorary Kentucky fans

224
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: now I don't even care. I'm just laughing at this outcome. Well,

225
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: clearly you care. You're in Sydney, Australia and you're listening

226
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: to the show, so don't don't. I don't like when

227
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: fans say they don't care. You care. You know you're

228
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: you're not listening. If you're people who don't care not

229
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: listening now, so you care. But yeah, it's tough, but

230
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: at least you're Australian friends. Just keep them on because

231
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be a good time ahead. That's always the case.

232
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: One person writes, I don't understand what the focus on

233
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Low is. He wasn't that great. How many top twenty

234
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: five teams would he start at point guard?

235
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: For?

236
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: First of all, I only played five games, so I

237
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know, and I thought he played well at about

238
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: four of those five. But it wasn't even that he

239
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: was so great. There was a world where I could

240
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: foresee a way we could be good with him, even

241
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: though when we never totally hit it. I could see

242
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: us being good with him. I have a hard time

243
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: seeing this group right now being good. I don't know

244
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: what the world is is that this team is really good?

245
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: Does that make sense really, Like, I could see how

246
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: you could produce a really good team with lowet port guard.

247
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how this group we have right now

248
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: it gets really good.

249
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he had spurts where you saw you

250
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: saw it.

251
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: It could be the second half of Saint John's. We'll

252
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: always have that, right, No, we always could have that.

253
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Go watchid second half. Look how we played when all

254
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: those guys were in. I guess we'll always have that

255
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: as the uh uh as the one moment. One person says, Matt,

256
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: why don't you ask Pope? You should ask him these questions?

257
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Ask him, bro, Well, I don't know when they don't

258
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: have make him make him available to interviews to us.

259
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: And he does one press conference a week and it's

260
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: at noon on Monday, which I've always kind of thought

261
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: was intentional because we can't go because we've got the show.

262
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: So you know, they Kentucky has taken the view in

263
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: the last five years that all coaches the time you

264
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: will talk to them is this little ten minute window

265
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: in a press conference and they'll do official stuff with

266
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: the people for the official broadcasters, and that's it, and

267
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: that sort of avoids a lot of questions. You can

268
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: really only talk to the coaches during the off season, So,

269
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. I'm not sure

270
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: bringing him on and grilling him on KSR would go

271
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: over that.

272
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: Well anyway, Yeah, Matt, just ask Pope these things.

273
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, man, won't you go talk to Trump

274
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: about it? Well, I mean he has to say yes,

275
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, So that's you know, it is what it is.

276
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: That That wasn't how it was when I started. I mean,

277
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: it used to be you could basically call and say, hey,

278
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: can I get these guys on and they would almost

279
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: always say yes. That has changed in the post COVID era,

280
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: and it kind of is what it is, all right.

281
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: Who's up first, Tyler?

282
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Tyler? Go ahead, Tyler.

283
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 4: Oh what a privilege. I am the first one on

284
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: after a twenty five point beat down. So I'm I'm

285
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: just I'm struggling what to think right now. I've been

286
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 4: a Kentucky basketball fan my whole life. It has given

287
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 4: me some of the most joyous nights of my life

288
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: and some of the worst. And I think for me,

289
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 4: I care so much and probably too much. But I'm

290
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 4: sit there tonight, I'm like, you know, I'm watching this

291
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 4: game and they're probably gonna get blown out. So if

292
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: they play about I don't care. But then I'll watch

293
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: they look unprepared, they look terrible, and I'm like, why

294
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 4: am I doing this?

295
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: And I mean that, Oh you don't mean that. I mean,

296
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't you do not mean why are

297
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: you doing it? You've probably been doing this your whole

298
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: life watching these games. Right now you might say, why

299
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: am I getting so upset? But like, you're doing it

300
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: because this is what we do. Like why does a

301
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: bee make honey? Because it's what a bee is for.

302
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: You're a Kentucky fan. This is what you're supposed to do.

303
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to make myself miserable by watching my team

304
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: get blown up every night. You know that, man, I

305
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: hope we come back from twenty points down.

306
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: But by doing that, it makes those moments where it's

307
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: good even better, right like it It makes those moments

308
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: when we have those nights and we we you know,

309
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: even with Pope, we've had a couple of them when

310
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: we beat Duke in the you know, in at Saint

311
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: John's game and there you know, the Knights Oklahoma and

312
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: the couple like part of what makes those good the

313
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: LSU game last week is because you also watched these

314
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: nights too.

315
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: Oh I the LSU game. I went nuts when that happened.

316
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 4: But man, it sucks watching these kinds of games. And

317
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: I know, like, so when I'll see these kinds of

318
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: seasons go down, I think, man, you know, twenty fourteen

319
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: we had that, but twenty fourteen is different. We had

320
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: Julius Randall. We don't have a guy like that. Yeah,

321
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: we don't have And so for me, I sit here

322
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I We're not gonna make anything happen

323
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 4: in the postseason unless something crazy happens. And really, at

324
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 4: this moment, I'm like, that would be the only thing

325
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 4: I could lean on, is man, what if? And of

326
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 4: course I'll watch, but there is there's just no, there's

327
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: not a lot of hope for me.

328
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yes, dude, I think this team is not,

329
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: in my opinion, going to make anywhere close to twenty

330
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: fourteen runs. The tournament's still great, though, And here's why

331
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: the tournament's great. Can we win the national Championship?

332
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 5: No?

333
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Can we make the Final four? Probably not no? But

334
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: could you win a game or two? Could you like,

335
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: could you be a you know, ten seed, win two

336
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: and win two games and find your way in the

337
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen. You could you can also lose by twenty

338
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: in the first round, or you could not make it.

339
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I this team could. Any of those results

340
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't shot me. So I would say to you, what

341
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: are you gonna do that's better than this?

342
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: I I mean, honestly, there's the reason that I cheer

343
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: for all my professional teams, but I care so much

344
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: about Kentucky basketball. So I sit there and I'm like,

345
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: I can't detach from it like I can with those

346
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 4: other teams. And I think that's what I hate so

347
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 4: much is I'm like I struggle to Like tonight, I

348
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: turned the game off and then ten minutes later, I

349
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, have we come back yet? And I

350
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: checked them was like, no, we haven't.

351
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. But that's again why it's great. I appreciate the call.

352
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm the same way, like, I basically only cheered for

353
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Kentucky and the Bears my entire life, and then I

354
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: started in the last decade really picking up the Reds.

355
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: I've always kind of cheered for the Hurricanes, but I

356
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: didn't really watch them very much. And then I started

357
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: realizing that I really liked watching the Reds and the

358
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Hurricanes because they could lose and I'd be like, hey, whatever,

359
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: but there's no Reds, Hurricanes or Bears win that can

360
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: do for me what a Kentucky win came. And so

361
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: that's why that's why it's better. But it also makes

362
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: tonights like tonight'sak who's next, Laurie, Laurie, go ahead, Laurie.

363
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 6: Oh that's me. Okay, so first time, long time. I

364
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 6: guess what concerns me is the fact that we have

365
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 6: this team and we know twenty two millions, but but

366
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 6: it looked like oh way and and has been our

367
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 6: go to player. So I mean, I just don't understand

368
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: the roster construction. And I know we have like three

369
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 6: people out injured and like lifetime, like I was strutting

370
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 6: with Sudden and in my family too, and it's it's

371
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 6: so frustrating, you know that we like, you've never heard

372
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: I have a T shirt?

373
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: Young? H I was. I wasn't. I wasn't really I

374
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: was very young. Men, so strutting with Sudden.

375
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: Okay, Matt, you're not that much younger than me.

376
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: So oh, I'm very I'm very very young. I would

377
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: not remember that. But no, but this this roster construction

378
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: is poor and even if everyone was healthy, it still

379
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: would have been poor. They did not recruit enough people

380
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: who can shoot the ball. They were they went to

381
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: last year. They thought the difference between a title and

382
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: that team last year was they weren't athletic enough, and

383
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: they were correct. So they went and got a bunch

384
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: of athletes. But here's what they forgot. Then they don't

385
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: have anybody to make shots. They went too far in

386
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: the other direction. And if Mark Pope is gonna have

387
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: a team that's deficient in an area, he needs to

388
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: have it be a deficient in athletes because he coaches shooters,

389
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: and he's got a team right now it can't shoot.

390
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of them have great basketball

391
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: IQ and those are the two things that are most

392
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: important for Marx teams. And my guess is I've not

393
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: talked to him about this, but here's what I'm thinking.

394
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: He thought, I cannot teach athleticism. I will teach them

395
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: to shoot in the IQ. And I think he's found.

396
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 6: Out you'll be physical. We can't even be physical.

397
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: Well, they were physical against see. Part of this is

398
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: why I blame effort they were physical against Tennessee, and

399
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: they were physical against Old Miss and then they just

400
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: let like then they just against the least physical team

401
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: in the league. They're not. That's what doesn't make sense

402
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: to me. Tennessee is the most physical team in the

403
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: league and they played them well.

404
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 6: So I get it. And and like my siblings and I,

405
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 6: this is like our thing, Like this is our father

406
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 6: passed away, so this is like our thing. And we

407
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 6: go to the SEC Tournament Nashville, like you know, for

408
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 6: now until forever, and we spend like crazy amounts of

409
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 6: money and it's good, and of course it's.

410
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: Disappointing, but that's okay though, Like I feel like I'm

411
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: having to do group therapy for everybody, like it's supposed

412
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: to be disappointing. It's supposed to be disappointing. That's the point,

413
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Like it matters because you care. If we didn't care,

414
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: we'd all go to bed right like we like, it's

415
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: like we care, So I appreciate I appreciate it. Yeah,

416
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: but that's what but we should be because it matters.

417
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: That's what makes us different than everybody else. I don't

418
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: want to if we ever get to the point that

419
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: we don't care. Then we're not Kentucky anymore. We're Indiana basketball.

420
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Although I'd like to be Indiana football, I would not

421
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: want to be. Although they got a big win tonight,

422
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: didn't they beat Purdue tonight?

423
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: I didn't see. But I just found a threatening with

424
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: Sutton hat on eBay, and I may need you to

425
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 2: talk me out of buying it.

426
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: I actually would buy it. You may ever get it quick.

427
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: If you want it, you better buy it right now.

428
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Somebody's can get on there and steal it from you,

429
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: because somebody listening right here will have it in five

430
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: minutes if you don't buy it. How much is.

431
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: Thirty five bucks?

432
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: Is it? Truck her hat? It is?

433
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: And it's got anything?

434
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh, you gotta get it. Get it. If you don't

435
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: get buy it or if I'll buy it from it,

436
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: it's got any Sutton's face on it? At me, buy

437
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: it right now. This is like a minute delay. It's

438
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: gonna be gone.

439
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: I'm trying, all right, who's next, Luke?

440
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: You better tell me if you get it, I'm Luke.

441
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead, just shut up and do it. Go Luke.

442
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 7: I'm kill me. That's hilarious. Yeah, I'm here.

443
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: I'm here, guys.

444
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 8: I could talk about the fact that we got absolutely demolished,

445
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 8: but frankly, I think we need to have bigger picture conversations.

446
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 8: I know you should really wait till the end of

447
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 8: the season. And Pope is not getting fired by any means.

448
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 8: I'm not saying I want him fired, but I do

449
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 8: have concerns that this guy has no business being the

450
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 8: coach in Lexington over the long haul. I mean, it

451
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 8: just seems like, for lack of a better term, Matt,

452
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 8: that this guy's got no balls, Like I mean, your

453
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 8: team's getting annihilated like that means that you were not

454
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 8: preparing your teams well, which is pissed poor coaching. I

455
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 8: don't know how you can't prepare a team to come

456
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 8: out and play hard. A lot of the problems to

457
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 8: night were simply effort. I mean, they didn't do a

458
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 8: single thing right tonight. They didn't shoot the ball well,

459
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: they didn't defend well, they didn't rebound, they didn't hustle,

460
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 8: they didn't take care of the basketball, and they literally

461
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 8: did nothing right. And it's been the same old song

462
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 8: and stand by the way.

463
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: I mean, Bandy made some shots, they didn't play great,

464
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: and you know they were without their second leading scorer.

465
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: Let me let let me go to your point about

466
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: the big picture thing. Okay, let's let's take a couple

467
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: of things that are I think everybody would grant, he's

468
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be fired at the end of the year.

469
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: You agree with that, right, So that's not that's not

470
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Okay, it would. It would have to be

471
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: pretty drafted. Yeah, we would have to completely collapse yet. Yeah,

472
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: we would have to completely collapse in these last ten games,

473
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: right and might yeah yeah, yeah, And it would have

474
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: to be bad. They would have to be bad. So

475
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's gonna happen. Am I concern

476
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: so granting that because there are people who are like

477
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: Matt say that there needs to be changed. I don't

478
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: even know if I believe that. But if I did believe,

479
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter anyway, because it's not gonna happen. Do

480
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I have concerns though, Oh yes, I have multiple concerns.

481
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: My biggest concern this is what worries me. My biggest

482
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: concern is not even what we're seeing right now. My

483
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: biggest concern is the way they're building the roster. I

484
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: am concerned because I'm not certain next year is gonna

485
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: be any better because I don't even know who's gonna

486
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: be on the team, right, I mean, we have no recruits,

487
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: and you just look at this part of the game

488
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: plan of this roster this year, where you were gonna

489
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: be able to have a lot of these guys for

490
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: a few years. Who can you say, definitively on this

491
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: roster will be on the team next year. I would

492
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: assume would want well, I would want some of them,

493
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: but I also think, like like Malachai Moreino, I think

494
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: will almost certainly be on the team, but beyond him,

495
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know. And then yeah, there is a

496
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: question of who you would want. I don't know. So

497
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: then you throw that in. We've spent all this money

498
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: in the portal. I will tell you from my conversations,

499
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm not confident that money's gonna be there next year

500
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: because people are not happy with their rate of return

501
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: on this year's investment.

502
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 8: Okay, no, Matt, you own a yeah, you own a business.

503
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 8: Do you understand that if somebody's investing in a business

504
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 8: and is not making money, is not working, they're not

505
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 8: gonna you can't go back to the investors now for

506
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 8: more money.

507
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: So if you go and ask for it, let's just

508
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: say you ask for that amount, I don't know if

509
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be there. So then there's that issue. Then

510
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: there's the recruiting issue. Are they gonna be able to

511
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: get a top guy? Are they gonna have to spend

512
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: a bajillion dollars to get Tying Stokes? And then you're

513
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: beholden to the number one talent. But he's a unique

514
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: character that could go in any direction. You could have

515
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: a superstar, you could have a dude that takes you

516
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: in another path. So yeah, I'm concerned. And then once

517
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: you get the team on the floor, I thought he

518
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: coached last year's team really well, but this has been

519
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: a disaster this year in my opinion. So yeah, do

520
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: I have concerns? Yeah? I do.

521
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 9: Can I mention one concern?

522
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 8: Of course I mentioned one concern that you didn't yet,

523
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 8: So one concern I have Actually, and I'm not a

524
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 8: genius when it comes to human psychology or anything, but

525
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 8: I know that a sign of a very very high

526
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 8: IQ person is that when they recognize a problem, they

527
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 8: try to overcorrect the problem to fix it all off.

528
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 8: Hope with the roster going from no athletes to nothing

529
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 8: but athletes and no shooters. Right, yeah, Well the problem

530
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 8: my problem with that is this is basketball. Like de

531
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 8: Marcus Cousin said, this ain't no spelling, bis Son, this

532
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 8: is basketball. You don't need to be a genius to.

533
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 7: Be the coach.

534
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 8: And I wonder if, ironically he's too smart to be

535
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 8: a basketball people who said that problem, I don't know.

536
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate the call, I I don't I

537
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: don't think people can be too smart if you also have,

538
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: as they say in the Mountains, common sense. And I

539
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: don't know him well enough to know that. I've only

540
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: spoken to him a hand full of time, so I

541
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: can't say. You know, there are very bright coaches doing really.

542
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like think about Brad Stevens. I mean there's

543
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Most of the NBA coaches are succeeding

544
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: are really bright now. And I think, like John Shires

545
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: really smart and he's doing well at Duke, so I

546
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: think you can do it. I think Pope's personality is

547
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot, so I do wonder. I don't think he

548
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: is connected with this team, but now I think he

549
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: connected with last year's team, So I don't think it's

550
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: that he can't connect with players. I think he connected

551
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: with last year's but I think it's fair to say

552
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: he has not connected with this group. I think that's

553
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: fairly obvious. Did you get the hat? I got it.

554
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: You bought it, bought it, dropped check for it. Yeah,

555
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: well no, if you don't want it, I'll buy it

556
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: from you. How much it cost?

557
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: Forty five?

558
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: All day? All right? Do you want it? I'll buy

559
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: it for I'll give you fifty for it.

560
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta see it in person before I

561
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: give this thing up. I mean he's winking right at me.

562
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh gosh. Well, if you don't want it, I'll take it.

563
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I'll actually give you a profit. I'll

564
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: give you sixty four it, so you could have made

565
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars.

566
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: I kind of need that fifteen.

567
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're going to the super Bowl. Think about that.

568
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: That could buy you half a drink at Shack Diesel's party.

569
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: Could it half a drink? You could buy me a

570
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: corner of a drink man.

571
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: Eight five eight twenty two eighty seven. We'll take a

572
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: break me right back. It's a local toy of dealers

Speaker 1: KSR post game show, all right, So I just saw

Speaker 1: Actually, that's what I's gonna ask you. What would you

581
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:12,480

Speaker 2: Well, if there's not another one you can find on eBay,

583
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean it's a collector's item.

584
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280

00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: Okay, get back to me at the end of the segment.

601
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: I've got some thinking to do.

602
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: All right. Who's next? Ray?

603
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: Is that?

604
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: Ray? Go ahead? Ray?

605
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: Hey man, how are you good?

606
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 10: Yeah?

607
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: You said you would give us some time tonight. I

608
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 3: don't want to take up a lot of time, but

609
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: I do have a couple of points on offense and defense.

610
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: I think this could be somewhat constructive. But I also

611
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 3: have something sort of in defense of the roster build.

612
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 3: But yet the solution for it I don't think is good.

613
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: So you know you want the defense.

614
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: Of the do the roster do the Rosterek.

615
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I think we're forgetting we're you know, I

616
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: listen to you all quite regularly, and I think roster

617
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: build has come up a lot, but we've forgotten that

618
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: we had a kne Lewis committed at point guard and

619
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: he dropped us and went to Villanova at the last minute.

620
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: But that's part of roster bill.

621
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Wait a minute. My point is Pope

622
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: got stuck with his third and fourth guy on his

623
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: list because him exactly, exactly exactly, but the bigger picture,

624
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cut to the chase. Let me, let me

625
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: mention these names. I'll cut to the chase on this point.

626
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 3: Keep in mind, as you hear me make these points,

627
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: we have zero freshman coming in at this point. Okay,

628
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: we're not able to convince these guys to come. The

629
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: negative result of my point is this guy struggles to

630
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 3: attract these guys. Michigan has a guy named what Yaxel.

631
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 3: He's really good, he's just sixty seven. Ford Uh, Indiana

632
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: has a good Indiana has a guard that we wanted, Wilkerson,

633
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: and you n l v U n l v has

634
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: a guard. We we up with the third or fourth guard.

635
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: Well, our first choice actually has had a bad year too,

636
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: which was Donovan din I mean that was our first

637
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: choice and he ended up going to UCLA and he's

638
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: not had a great year either.

639
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: So we're seemed to be striking out with the high

640
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: school kids too. It could be a personality flaw, it

641
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 3: could be a reputation with all.

642
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: These other well, it's a lot, all right, I appreciate it. Okay,

643
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry man, you said you just I gave you

644
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. It could be a lot of things.

645
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: We've talked about, the whole Jmi situation. We've talked about Mark.

646
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure what it is. I have

647
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: my thoughts, but I'm letting this recruiting class play out

648
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: and we're going to see. But the reality is, I

649
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: am very concerned for what our roster's gonna be next year.

650
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: I mean, let me just go through them real quick.

651
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Jayl Lowe, he they brought him in to be a

652
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: two year player. I'd be fine with him being the

653
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: point guard next year, but I'm not you know, I

654
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if that I don't know

655
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: how that vibe went. I like him, I'm not sure.

656
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna end up being something

657
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: that comes back or not. We'll see. Aberdeen. Is Aberdeen

658
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: a junior senior? I always get him confused.

659
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

660
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: I think he's a senior, but I could be wrong

661
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: about that. Chandler, I think he's probably coming. He could

662
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: probably come back, but I don't know. Is how he

663
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: in Pope. I don't know.

664
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: Aberdeen I think is gone.

665
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: Diabate has another year do you want that Garrison has

666
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: another year? Do you want that? Right? Yellovich? What's his

667
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: status gonna be? I feel like Moreno's back, Jasper. All

668
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: you gotta do is look at the tweets online from

669
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: family members. You know that who knows? Right? Williams he

670
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: was they brought him in thinking two years, but who

671
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: knows Quaintons has gone? Noah? I mean there's a world

672
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: Billy where there's only like two or three guys back

673
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: from this team.

674
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: But would that be a bad thing?

675
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: Well, who you're gonna get? You don't have any recruits,

676
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: that's true.

677
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: They don't have a single person.

678
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: They don't have a single player. So you're gonna go

679
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: get seven more new guys in the portals. I mean,

680
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: some of these dudes have to come back, Like, you

681
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: gotta have somebody. So like if you made me guess

682
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: maybe like Moreno, Chandler and lo I Diabata, things have

683
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: not gone great there, So I don't know. So I

684
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: just like next year, who knows who's gonna be on

685
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: the team, So like, if he has a bad end

686
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: of this season, next year is it? And you don't

687
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: even know who the roster is gonna be.

688
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's scary.

689
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: It is scary.

690
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: Who's next, Skyler?

691
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: Skyler? Go ahead, Scytler.

692
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, good, uh good talking to you guys. I just

693
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 11: have this visual of Billy trying to do his job

694
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 11: but getting distracted searching Sutton hats on eBay and on

695
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 11: looking for looking for.

696
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: Kettlebells, although he should get more and like going to

697
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: business with him because there are people. I think a

698
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: lot of people would want one.

699
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 11: Hey, I I I think Mark Pope has a difficult

700
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 11: My take is Mark Pope has a really challenging time

701
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 11: motivating some of these, like I don't want to call

702
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 11: him high dollar, but like high end talent guys. I mean,

703
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 11: if you think about last year, all of our guys

704
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 11: were underrated, overlooked, not believed in. And and you know,

705
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 11: Mark Pope was one of those guys in college overlooked, underrated,

706
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 11: not believed in. And I just think it's a different

707
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 11: mentality you have to take. I mean, I know he

708
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 11: crushed Cal for not being an x's and o's.

709
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 7: Guy, but he motivated guys.

710
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 11: He motivated the like the dudes. And I don't think

711
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 11: you can remember, but.

712
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: You remember it, but you remember who Cal struggled with

713
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: Cal struggled with guys like this, right, Cal struggled with

714
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: dudes that weren't highly recruited. Remember he always the guy.

715
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. I think you make a really good point.

716
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Cal was all it was brilliant at the top talents,

717
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: but when he had to coach the guy that was

718
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: like fiftieth Like remember how much he fought to not

719
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: play Antonio Reeves. Right, Antonio Reeves would kill it under Pope,

720
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: kill it. Yeah. And then but then I look at

721
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: a dude like Jaden Quaintin's and Mike, he might be

722
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: better under Cal. So you know it's you're I think

723
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Though he does seem to struggle

724
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: with some of these talented guys.

725
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 11: I wonder if that's a Quainton's dad and everybody around

726
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 11: Jaden is telling him. You know, it's like, hey, just

727
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 11: you had a good showing against Saint John's, let's ride

728
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 11: it to the draft. I do say, I do I

729
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 11: do worry because I look at the rest of the schedule.

730
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 11: Mark Pope said something to Tom Leech. He said, you know,

731
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 11: we're just coming off of a five game winning streak,

732
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 11: longest in the SEC. Yeah, but you're gonna You're you're

733
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 11: beating the bottom feeders of the league in a decent

734
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 11: a decent Tennessee team. And we didn't play very well

735
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 11: in any game but Mississippy State in the second half, and.

736
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: We played all the teams. We played, all the teams

737
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: that we match up well with. See, that's what worries me,

738
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: whether these teams are good or bad. A lot of

739
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: college basketball, unless you're an elite team, is about matchups,

740
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: and we match up well against the grinding teams. We

741
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: really struggle against teams that can put up points. We

742
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: got a lot of teams coming up that can put

743
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: up points.

744
00:41:55,120 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 11: Arkansas, Arkansas, Yeah, Ark'll be Vanderbilt ninety three to sixty eight.

745
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Darkansas almost lost at home to LSU. I mean,

746
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: you can do that game all you want, but and

747
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate your call. I'm just saying, like, what I

748
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: worry about is the matchups coming up, because the Pope

749
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: has done a pretty good job of playing well against

750
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: these mucket up teams. Well, we ain't got a lot

751
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: of mucket ups left. We're about to play the teams

752
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: that can put up points. And with the exception of

753
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: beating Florida at home last year. We haven't done great

754
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: against those teams, even the Pope era. Who's next, Heather,

755
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need an answer after the end of this call, Heather,

756
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Heather.

757
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,959
Speaker 5: Maunt. I'm just joining the therapy group.

758
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: I Gray, that's right, therapy.

759
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 5: And Billy, you better take that one hundred dollars Bill

760
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 5: because that's a good deal with her.

761
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I found one I might like better, though.

762
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: See his struggling. I know, but I'm just saying, just

763
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: to throw it out there. His is strutting with sudden

764
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: somebody sent me another hat that looks like it was well,

765
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: it may be gone now. It's called the It says

766
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,440

884
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 11: My son lives out there in Lexington, so I'm constantly

885
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 11: looking at the updates. So thank you for putting on

886
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 11: that seven thousand dollars. The newscasters getting them involved in

887
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 11: keeping everybody updated on that bill. You really, you really

888
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 11: just piqued my interest. And when you mentioned Stretton for setting.

889
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 11: I've been a forty year Kentucky Wildcat fan. I went

890
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 11: to high school in California, read The California with Robert Lott,

891
00:49:55,400 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 11: and some of my first heroes were Kenny Skywalker, Rex Chapman,

892
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 11: Cedric Jenkins. And it's just it's just been, you know,

893
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 11: forty years and they've been my team. I know they're

894
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 11: your team, And I have a question. The last year's

895
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 11: team really got me excited again. The maturity of those seniors,

896
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 11: the professionalism. You never heard them talking about money. It

897
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 11: was always about Kentucky, the name on the front. Yeah,

898
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 11: I think this year's team has a lot of I

899
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 11: don't want to say immature, but there's a lot of

900
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 11: growing up to do. And having said that, how do

901
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 11: you think the booing part, you know, how do you

902
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 11: tellmen feel about that affecting the recruiting for the new kids?

903
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know, it's maybe, but I think

904
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: the thing about the money part is that those kind

905
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: of things you're talking about become less important. Now. I

906
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: mean that that they matter, but they don't. I mean,

907
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can overcome that uh in because

908
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: of that, But you know, I appreciate the call. I mean, listen,

909
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: our fan base is are is our strongest characteristic, but

910
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: it can also be our our weakest if we if

911
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: it goes too too far. But I don't I don't

912
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: think it has. I don't think babooing in a couple

913
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: of games UH is gonna matter one person rights. Matt,

914
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: what do you think about the video that was posted

915
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: earlier with the players chanting money before they walked on

916
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: the court. I saw that video. I think people are

917
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: overreacting because I don't think you I'm not like what

918
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: they did. They stan chant like tough money or something. Billy.

919
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: What did they change?

920
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: I didn't see the chanting I saw UK was like

921
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: in the tunnel with the.

922
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but they said something like

923
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: tough money or what. The thing you have to remember

924
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: is unless you speak, unless you speak college kids or

925
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: like young basketball players like you don't even like you

926
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: don't even really know what they're talking about. So I

927
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 1: think you have to be very careful if you are

928
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: middle aged white person trying to understand the slang of

929
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen twenty year old basketball players. So don't you

930
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: agree with that? But like be like, I don't. I

931
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: don't read anything into that.

932
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: I'm still hip and know the lingo.

933
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: Just that phrase right there says I do not trust

934
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: I do not trust you. I mean, I just I've

935
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: learned that like when I don't think something, when it

936
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, it's probably some song I don't know

937
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: or some tic like I just so i'd be very

938
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: careful to judge. I think it's it's nothing, all right?

939
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: Four more? Who's next?

940

960
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I think he lost his trade on just

961
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: dropped the cuss word in the middle of the night. Well,

962
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: isn't it after? What is it after one? Can't you

963
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:15,520

00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 2: I don't know that rule well enough to let that slide, honestly, So.

965
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a rule that like after it it

966
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: might be two, it's either one, it's either twelve one

967
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: or two. But at one of those points you can

968
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: just say whatever. That's why Doctor Drew and Adam Carolla

969
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: could start.

970
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 2: Talking for CC's safe harbor hours or from ten pm

971
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,040

00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: So well, you could have left it, but there's kids listening,

973
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: and I understand, so I do for the kids. Sorry,

974
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: Double D, you just can't. You can't just be dropping

975
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: that in the middle of the night.

976
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 2: Who's next doing great?

977
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir.

978
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 7: Matt. I hope you're doing well.

979
00:54:58,320 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: Thanks.

980
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,919
Speaker 7: I want to give a shot because.

981
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: Touch money, touch money is what it says. That's what

982
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: they said, touch money. But I'm sure that's a slogan, right,

983
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, doing great?

984
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 7: All right, Sorry about that. I want to give a

985
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 7: shout out to Billy because Billy always lets me in.

986
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 7: I listen to y'all show every day. Today, for example,

987
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 7: listening to Shannon for forty seven minutes on hold and

988
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 7: didn't let me in, So thank you, Billy.

989
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: Well, it's not really Shannon's fault, Like I mean, I

990
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: don't call for as many calls during the day, so

991
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: when you called during the day, it's all about where

992
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 1: we are in the pace of the show. So it's

993
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: not always Shannon's fault. Sometimes it might be mine.

994
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 7: To go ahead, okay, okay, fair enough. Well, I'm looking

995
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 7: at my notes here. This is very serious. Uh okay, okay,

996
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 7: So here's my question. Here's my question. Here's my question.

997
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 7: Hear me out. So obviously tonight was very frustrating, and

998
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 7: I don't know if humored from last week, but last

999
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 7: week I tried to pump him sunshine after the old

1000
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 7: miss when affluent, you know, five wins in a row.

1001
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 7: So let's say let's say the rest of the season,

1002
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 7: we go what ten and eight and the sec nine

1003
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 7: to nine, I don't know, whatever it takes to get

1004
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 7: a nine seed or eight seed and end of the tournament.

1005
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 7: Why are we immediately immediately refuting the idea of you know,

1006
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 7: making some sort of run because I've I've heard throughout

1007
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 7: the show that you know, we're not gonna be a

1008
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 7: national championship winner, which you probably won't, but like you know,

1009
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 7: tonight was frustrating. But why are we immediately refruiting Well.

1010
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, we're not gonna win a TI. I

1011
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,959
Speaker 1: mean we're not, But I'm not refuting making a run.

1012
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: I think we are just when you are not, when

1013
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: you're not a one seat or a two seed, what

1014
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: you are doing is putting your mercy, putting your fate

1015
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: at the mercy of the what the bracket? Right? So like,

1016
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: so so for us, let's say we're a ten seed

1017
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: or a none seat, it's all gonna be about who

1018
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: we happen to draw, right, and if we draw a

1019
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: ten that we match up with, well with who knows

1020
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: you might have a chance of pulling upset. But if

1021
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: you draw a team that can put ninety five up,

1022
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: even if they're a seven seed, we might get blown

1023
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: out in the first round. So you don't control your

1024
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: own fate, is what I'm saying. I remember when twenty fourteen,

1025
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: when the bracket came out, one of our callers, Heink,

1026
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: called in and said, I remember him saying when he

1027
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: called in, this is a great draw for us because

1028
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: we match up well with every team in the bracket.

1029
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: And he turned out to be correct. We actually did

1030
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: match up well with all those teams. But then there

1031
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: what could be a world We get somebody that we

1032
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: have no chance of beating because of matchup, So that's

1033
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: the only thing. Could you make a run? Yeah, but

1034
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: you're at the mercy of the bracket show as to

1035
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: who you get.

1036
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, that's totally fair. I just wanted to make

1037
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 7: that point that you know, we made that We had

1038
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 7: a tough year that one year, and then we still

1039
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 7: made a run. So I understand it's unlikely this year,

1040
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 7: but let's you know, yeah.

1041
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: Let's hope. I appreciate, uh, appreciate the call. I just

1042
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: got the call today that I'm hosting the Bracket Show again.

00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 2: role Player of the game.

1073
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: How much did we lose to Alabama bout last year

1074
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: in the tournament on the SEC at tournament, No, I mean,

1075
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: what's the score? Because I because that would mean our

1076
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: last three games in Nashville have been by what scores?

1077
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: Because we lost by thirty five to Gonzaga, we lost

1078
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: by twenty five to UH tonight to Vane.

1079
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: It was ninety nine to seventy by.

1080
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: Twenty nine, So we have lost by eighty nine points

1081
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: in our last three games in Nashville. That's crazy. We've

1082
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: lost bout eighty nine points in our last three games.

1083
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 2: Real, that's hard to even.

1084
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: That's terrible. All right, two more and we'll go to bed.

1085
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Who's that big Z?

1086
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 13: Big Z go ahead, Hey, Matt, Hey, Billy. I appreciate

1087
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 13: you guys taking my call a couple of things. So

1088
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 13: when people say, you know, hey, it really doesn't matter.

1089
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 13: I don't care anymore. I'm telling you. It's one thirty

1090
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 13: in the morning. I'm I'm talking as low as I

1091
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 13: can so my wife doesn't wake up and uninvite me

1092
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 13: to last Vegas on Friday, and I'm recovering from a

1093
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 13: total knee replacement and I'm sitting here in our bathroom,

1094
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 13: not in the actual commode, but in the bathroom, so

1095
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 13: my wife doesn't kill me. Matt, this matters. I'm gonna

1096
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 13: tell you what it means for me. The two and

1097
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 13: a half hours before the game and the game in

1098
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 13: the after the game, that is time with my best

1099
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 13: friend and my son Ethan, that I look forward to

1100
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 13: every single game. And my fear is I don't think

1101
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 13: the opposite of love is hate. I think it's indifference,

1102
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 13: and I'm afraid of that. So tonight Ethan says, hey, Dad,

1103
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 13: will you please, Matt's got to write a second book

1104
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,959
Speaker 13: to Mitch please and say Mitch please retire and let's

1105
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 13: you know, replace Barnhardt. So I see that a little

1106
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 13: tongue in cheek, Matt. But you know, I don't know Pope.

1107
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 13: I do know one other Mormon guy.

1108
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I know.

1109
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 13: He's the best guy I've met in my wife, and

1110
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 13: I think Pope is too. And I coached soccer through

1111
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 13: high school in the KHS. You got to motivate these kids.

1112
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 13: And he's so smart, like you're a genius. And when

1113
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 13: you explain stuff, I'm like, oh, it makes perfect sense.

1114
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 13: I don't know that he can articulate and connect with

1115
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 13: these kids, and I think that might kind of be

1116
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 13: the problem. And I just you know, do you think

1117
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 13: that hey, whatever happens this season is next year, do

1118
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 13: or die for him? And listen Matt one more time.

1119
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Before you go go ahead saying there you go.

1120
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 13: Ahead, Well, no, I just wanted to say. And there's

1121
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 13: one other thing. I love how much you love your mother,

1122
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 13: and I love how much love Larry. That makes me

1123
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 13: so happy. And you know, for whatever people say about

1124
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 13: you're a great man, I appreciate you, we love you,

1125
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 13: we love Billy. But I do want to give a

1126
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 13: shout out to Ethan, my son and my best friend

1127
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 13: that we get all this time together and it matters

1128
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 13: and doesn't.

1129
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Thank you for those words, and let me let me,

1130
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: let me, let me make a couple points. Don't go yet,

1131
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: because I want to let me make a couple points

1132
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: to what you said. Yes, sir, First of all, yes,

1133
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: the opposite of sort of love is indifference, and I

1134
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: don't ever want to see indifference with this fan base.

1135
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: And I don't. I literally have hundreds of messages when

1136
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I ask people to say where they're from, and these

1137
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: are people listening right now, and tomorrow at three o'clock,

1138
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I'll look on the charts and this will be a

1139
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: top fifteen podcast, so people care. Secondly, your point about

1140
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: smart and connecting is a very good one. I went

1141
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to law school. There were two hundred people in my

1142
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: class at Duke, and probably one hundred and ninety five

1143
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: of them were very smart. We did have a few idiots,

1144
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: but for the most part, everybody was very smart. But

1145
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the amount of those people that I thought could go

1146
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: into a small town in Kentucky and not be just

1147
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: completely mocked or ignored was like fifteen percent, right, And

1148
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: to me, that was what, like true intelligence is both

1149
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: is being able to be both. I think Mark connects

1150
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: with people really well in the abstract right, like on

1151
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: press conferences, like he seems like a great dude, But

1152
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: when you're with somebody every day, like all the slogans

1153
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: go away and it's just do I jibe with this person?

1154
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: You know? And I think it remains to be seen.

1155
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I think some of the players he does. But does

1156
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: he do it with the elite talents? I don't know.

1157
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm not there, so I can't say. I think he

1158
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: did do it with the guys last year. It just

1159
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: hasn't seemed to work as well this year. And your

1160
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: last point is next year, do or die? Yeah? I

1161
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: think so. I think every coach minus something crazy deserves

1162
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: three years. You know. Billy the something crazy was all

1163
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the off the court stuff. But if Billy Gillespie hadn't

1164
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: had the off the court stuff, sir, he'd have gotten

1165
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: a third year. You know. He just had all the

1166
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: off the court stuff.

1167
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's the.

1168
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 13: Last thing I want to say. I want to beg you.

1169
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 13: Heather is my kind of people. If you can get

1170
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 13: her on the ESPN show to say now coming for

1171
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 13: King of the Heel, I think we we got we

1172
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 13: got to bring it to the mountains, the mountains of

1173
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 13: the best, and that one last game I always hope

1174
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 13: and I pray that my son loves his mother like

1175
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 13: you love your mother. Have great night, guys, and.

1176
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Thank you appreciate it well I do.

1177
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm not going to go into detail.

1178
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: But also got some some positive news this week with

1179
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: Larry too, so that's good. So thank you all for

1180
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: all the nice comments people been saying, last call, Who's next?

01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good week. Why don't you just do that?

1186
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: You should get Heather to DoD raft and she goes

Speaker 9: Hey man, I'm glad to be the Johnny Rocker role player.

1191
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 9: That's fantastic. I was later than not. Let me tell

1192
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 9: you I've been to Nationale twice this year. Oh no,

1193

Speaker 9: I was. Yeah, I'll send you a picture of the

1194
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 9: five guys at the restaurant.

1195
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1196
01:05:55,240 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 9: We enjoyed that part next part not so much. I

1197
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 9: don't know how coach can sit there and talk to

1198
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 9: his assistance when you're down twenty points and you give

1199
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 9: up four or five layups, a couple of threes in

1200
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 9: the corner, and you're not in there chewing somebody. I don't,

1201
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 9: I don't get it. I know he's nice, I know

1202
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 9: he's not, But I mean it was awful. I mean,

1203
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 9: I mean, I expect to lose sometimes because you can't.

1204
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 7: Win them all.

1205
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 9: There's no way, you know, you just lose that when

1206
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 9: you don't put the effort that a Kentucky basketball player

1207
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 9: should put. I mean, it's just awful. And I believe Blue.

1208
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 9: I'm sixty one years old, but a fan for you know,

1209
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 9: as long as I've been born, I've seen it all.

1210
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 9: But this here, this is getting bad. I mean, Nashville twice,

1211
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 9: two hour drive and get beat by sixty sixty, get

1212
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 9: sixty points in two games sixty And I was there

1213
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 9: at this SEC tournament that A and m when Ree Shepherd,

1214
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 9: So how about that?

1215
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: That was a bad one too.

1216
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 9: The first time I ever went to the SEC tournament

1217
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 9: for the whole tournament. I had been there for a

1218
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 9: game or two. I went for the whole tournament and

1219
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 9: got beat. Now I went and got some cookies and

1220
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:04,919
Speaker 9: milk and went to bed.

1221
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:12,560
