1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: It is the Local Trader Dealers KSR postgame show.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: The Cats play a hard fought.

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: Game in Gainesville, but lose ninety two to eighty three

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: to the Florida Gators, who are probably playing as well

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: as anybody in the country and took a huge lead

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: against Kentucky early and was able to hold throughout the

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: rest of the game. You gave a shout on this

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Valentine's night. Some of you may be on your way

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: to dinner. To all of you couples out there, enjoy

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: your meal. Billy is cooking for his lady after this.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: But first we got to talk about the game, and

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: it was, unfortunately the beginning was kind of what we've

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: been used to in these games. Kentucky has now played

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: twenty five games this season, and they have been down

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: at least twelve points in the first half in twelve

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: of the twenty five games.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: That's really really bad.

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: Essentially one out of every two game teams they've been

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: down by twelve points. And if you throw out the

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: games against teams that stink, you've basically been down by

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: twelve points in the first half in two out of

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: every three games against Power conference teams, that's really not good.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: And it happened again today.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: Kentucky got down fifteen in the first half, and it

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: looked to me like they were about to get blown

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: off the floor. I mean, it was thirty two seventeen,

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I think, and I thought they were maybe one or

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: two more baskets from you know, just being destroyed.

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: But then they came out, got.

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: A nine to zero run, and for most of the

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: rest of the game, it kind of fluctuated between about.

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Five and twelve.

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Throughout the game, I never really felt like Kentucky was

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: in a position to come back and win, but they

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: also were not only competitive, I thought for a lot

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: of the last twenty five to twenty seven minutes, I

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: think Kentucky was better in a lot of those sequences.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: They did a lot of things right, but ultimately I

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: think they lost for three reasons. I'm gonna say the

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: first two first because I think they're more important than

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: the third. A lot of self inflicted errors by Kentucky,

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: and specifically for me, the most frustrating one is miss layups.

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: This team missed fifteen layups tonight, and this has been

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: an issue all year. We got guys who we have

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: two problems we got guys who get to the.

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Basket and miss layups.

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: By my count, Oway missed four of those fifteen, but

49
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: that I could be it might have been more, but

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: I know it was four.

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: And so that's the first problem. And I don't really

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: understand why.

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: Some of it is because Florida is very good at

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: rim protection on defense, and I think one of those

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: four he missed because of good rim protection, and then

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: he missed three that he was there, he just didn't finish.

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: And it feels like that has happened all year.

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: He does not finish well from the left side of

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: the basket, and he I think he prefers driving that way.

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: He goes left more than he goes right, and he

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: misses him. And then our bigs, Billy sometimes I think

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: when our bigs get an offensive rebound, their strategy is

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: just to throw it as hard against the glass as

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: possible and hope it goes in.

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Like literally, I.

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: Didn't think, get an offensive rebound and they just like

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: just launch it at the goal, no touch. I mean,

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: we had at least two, maybe three offensive rebounds where

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: the putback hit just backboard, no rim, just backboard. So

70
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: fifteen layups will get you I mean if you hit

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: if you hit five of the fifteen, you know it's

72
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: a one point.

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: It's you know we went now.

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that how the game plays out, but

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: you're right there, so you can't miss all those layups.

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: The second thing was I thought for stretches of the game,

77
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Kentucky was very poor defensive rebounding and closing out on threes,

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: which are probably the two things that are One of

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: them is the most important thing you have to do

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: against Florida, which is defensive, which is rebound And we

81
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: did a pretty good job for a lot of the game,

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: but then we had that stretch where I think they

83
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: got nine shots and four possessions, and I think they

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: scored in all of those possessions, and none of which

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: were on the first shot that kills us. You know,

86
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: early in the game, we actually did a pretty good

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: job keeping them off the glass, but you saw their

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: toughness kind of show through in the second half. Moreno

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: had eleven rebounds, so he actually I thought, played pretty well.

90
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: But Yellovich and Garrison and Moreno, to some extent, they

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: get the ball taken from them, you know that they'll

92
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: actually get the hand on the rebound, but then the

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: other then Florida's guys would just kind of out tough

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: them to get the ball.

95
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: And I think you.

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Saw that it wasn't an issue the whole game, but

97
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: it was an issue in key points. They out rebound

98
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: us by eight, which is a lot, But at the

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: same time, you know, that's the second best rebounding margin

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: Billy any teams had against against Florida all year, and

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: it was eight behind. That's how much they control the glass.

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: So I thought they did okay on that most of

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: the game, but it hurt them in key possessions and

104
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: then early the deficit in large part came because they

105
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: were hot.

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: Early. You know, they hit what was.

107
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: It, eleven threes for the game, and there they were

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: three hundred and fiftieth in the county tent. They were

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: three hundred and fiftieth in the country coming into the

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: game in three point three pointers made, and Lee and

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: the kid off the bench number seven hit eight between

112
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: the two of them, and Lee especially, he's played well

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: in the last few games, but that's not how he's

114
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: played all year, and that hurt us. Now, with that said,

115
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: Mark Pope said, after the game, I think he's right

116
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: He said he didn't feel like he put the right

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: defenders on them, and I think that's correct. Chandler really

118
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: struggled with Lee early. Couldn't fight through the screens, and

119
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Lee got open looks. And you just can't allow a

120
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: guy coming off the bench to hit five threes against you.

121
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: That crushed him. So you give Florida ten threes, you

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: give him those offensive rebounds, and you miss those layups,

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: and really that's the difference.

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: In the game in a lot of ways. You know.

125
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: I also thought the officiating was terrible. We didn't lose

126
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: because the officiating, but it was terrible in the second half.

127
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: There was just a discrepancy. There was. I mean, it's

128
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: not why we lost, but there was there.

129
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: And anybody that says there wasn't you didn't see the

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: same game I did. I thought in the first half

131
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: it was fine, but second half, I think there was

132
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: a discrepancy.

133
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: So nevertheless, I'm generally pretty encouraged by the game, which

134
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: has led to some people online going, oh, you know,

135
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you're starting to moral victories. No. I mean, Florida is good.

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: They're the defending national champion, and they're playing as well

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: as anybody in the country. And we're going to their arena.

138
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: I did not expect to win. We were thirteen and

139
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: a half point underdog. And not only did I not

140
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: expect to win, when we were down fifteen in the

141
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: first half, I would have bet most of my money

142
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: we were gonna lose by thirty. And then I think

143
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: we played really well and I think we showed that

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: while I do think they're better, they're not on a

145
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: level that we cannot win. We can win en Rup.

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if we will, but we can't.

147
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: And we made a.

148
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: Lot of mistakes and still played and still had a chance.

149
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: Chandler obviously hits a bunch of threes.

150
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: That's big thought. Moreno played well. Aberdeen was great.

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: Aberdeen going back to where he played, gotta give him

152
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: a rod of credit. And he had that run where

153
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: he got us back in the game almost single handedly.

154
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: Aberdeen I thought was really really good. I thought Diabatee

155
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: had really good minutes as well. Oway was not good,

156
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: and so he was.

157
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: What four for fourteen, four for fourteen. I talked about

158
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: those mislaps.

159
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't think he played particularly well in stretches on defense.

160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: Always defense often coincides with his offense. When his offense

161
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: is going well, I think he comes a lockdown defender.

162
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: When it's not, it can eb and flow, and there

163
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: was some of that. So the reason I'm a little

164
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: encouraged is if we don't start making layups better, and

165
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: if we don't start closing out in three point shooters,

166
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: and if o he doesn't play well, then we're not

167
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: gonna win. I think that's objective. I think that's clear.

168
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 2: But if those things happen. We just played one of

169
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: the best teams in the country on their floor, and

170
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: with those things not happening, we still had a shot

171
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: to win the game. Well, not a shot to win

172
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: the game. We stayed to where we were in fighting distance.

173
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: That gives me encouragement. It's not a moral victory. Part

174
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: of the reason we don't have, part of the reason

175
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: they're a lot better than us is we did not

176
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: bring in the right players, we don't always play smart, etc.

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: Etc. But this is not like a lost cause.

178
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: The way it looked four weeks ago, they're seventeen and eight,

179
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: they have six games left. They got Georgia coming in Tuesday.

180
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Nine. Georgia's just lost by sixteen at Oklahoma.

181
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: You've got to win that game, you're gonna have Vandy

182
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: and Florida come to you. You can you know, I

183
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: think you can win both those. You need to win

184
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: one for shit. And then you go to Auburn. You

185
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: go to an A and M team that's kind of reeling,

186
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: an Auburn team that's been way inconsistent, and a South

187
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: Carolina team you can beat. If you were to finish

188
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: that stretch four and two, which is eminently doable, you

189
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: could be twelve and six in the SEC. I think

190
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: you'll end up with like a sixth seed or a

191
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: seventh seed in the tournament. And you know, it's all

192
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: about the draw you get.

193
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: Now.

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: Is that what we wanted at the start of the

195
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: year now, But considering where we were a few weeks ago,

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a lot better than we would have thought.

197
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: So I was encouraged by today. A lot of guys,

198
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: especially Aberdeen, Chandler, Moreno, and Diabate, I thought all really

199
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: stepped up. I thought Yelovich had some positive moments. He

200
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: also really struggled on defense and rebound, but he had

201
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: some positive moments for us too, But overall generally pretty

202
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: encouraged and I think we have a shot in that

203
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: final game and rup if we get the atmosphere that

204
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: I want to have there, uh, we got a shot

205
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: to maybe maybe steal one he if I'm nine two

206
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: eight oh twenty two eighty seven, we will take your calls.

207
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: It's Valentine's Day, nine, Billy. I don't know if people

208
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: if they call, if that means they don't have Valentine's

209
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: Day plans or they're either on their way. But either way,

210
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: this is almost like an appetizer for balance.

211
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: Ooh, appetizer before the fancy dinner.

212
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: It's a it's a V Day appetizer and we will

Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, thank you to that theoretical person.

00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, whoever that is.

227
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just feel like he both could have.

228
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: You got plans tonight? You're going out doing anything?

229
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: You know, we don't. There's no reason to talk about things, Billy,

230
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: we did this. This is a this is a we don't.

231
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: This is a UK basketball show.

232
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: Its appetizer for Valentine's Day.

233
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. All right, who's up first?

234
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: Let's start with Bryce?

235
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Bryce?

236
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Hey, Matt, what's up?

237
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: How you doing doing great?

238
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 5: Uh?

239
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: First of all, I want to give a shout out

240
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: to my good buddy Jackson Keaton. It's his birthday today,

241
00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 4: So shappy birthday. So I think all of the team

242
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 4: showed a lot of heart and I a good fight.

243
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 4: I think Florida is the better team overall. Just a

244
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 4: quick question for you guys though, do we think Malachai

245
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 4: Marino stays after this year? I saw something today. He's

246
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 4: projected twenty second pick overall in the first round. Just

247
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: like to get your guys thoughts on that thing.

248
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: You know, I have no idea. I don't know.

249
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he has risen in the mock drafts. I think, look,

250
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: if he ends up being projecting the top twenty. Generally speaking,

251
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: I say, if a guy's going to the top twenty,

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: he's gonna go to the draft. I don't know where

253
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Malachai ends up. I could see him going through the

254
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: process and then deciding. The difference nowadays, though, is if

255
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: let's say he's at the end of the first round,

256
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: he can probably make that much money coming back. But

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: his NBA years don't start, so it just depends. I

258
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: would say, if I had to guess, I think he

259
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: comes back. I think he and he could come back

260
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: and be like all se see next year. His improvement

261
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: has been unbelievable, and I thought he played really well.

262
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: He had one mistake that I thought was pretty big.

263
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: On that one, he went up, he got the ball

264
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: in a like a little break and he went up

265
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: with his right hand, when if he had gone with

266
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: his left hand or just passed it to Diabaatee who

267
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: no one was on, it would have been easy two

268
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: points and ended up getting a shot blocked.

269
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: And that was kind of a and that was kind

270
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: of a big play.

271
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: But in general, I thought he played well and his

272
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: foul trouble is ultimately one of the things that killed

273
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: us because we took a dip every time he went out,

274
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: but he came back in with four, played with four

275
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: for a lot of game, and I thought played pretty well.

276
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: One person, Right to Matt, you didn't mention two guys,

277
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: Garrison and Jasper.

278
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Why not? Well, Jasper hit a couple of threes that

279
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: was important. Both those threes.

280
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: He hit one in the first half and we were

281
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: down like fourteen or maybe fifteen, and then he hit

282
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: a big one in the second half. The problem with

283
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: Jet for Jasper is he adds some stuff offensively, but

284
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: he's he's a real liability on defense. I mean, he

285
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: gets if you watch him, he gets. He gets lost

286
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: a lot on defense and that and and that hurts him.

287
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: That's why he doesn't play more minutes. His offensive ability

288
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: could really help this team, but he just I don't

289
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: think Pope can plain long stretches because of the defensive errors,

290
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: and he just has a lot of As far as

291
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: Brandon Garrison, I thought he was not good today. He

292
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: had one good pass back door to away, but in general,

293
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: really not a good Garrison game in my opinion. A

294
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: lot of errors on both sides. Bill, you don't want

295
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: to see the KSR group text for me.

296
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: Today.

297
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: If it's frustrating, man, he's a he's a feast or

298
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: famine guy, and when it's a famine like it can

299
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: be bad.

300
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: I thought today was was was really really bad, especially early.

301
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: Who's up next, Matt, Matt, go ahead.

302
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 7: Matt, Hey. I just want to praise Malachi Marino for

303
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 7: the time he got off the bench out of foul,

304
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 7: trouble and play. He played a heck of a game

305
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 7: and he stood up against those bigs of Florida.

306
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I agree to him.

307
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 7: Jasper Johnson, it seems like he's one step behind. It

308
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 7: looked like when he was he was guarding from the

309
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 7: side a lot of times when they were driving.

310
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: He does and he and he and he looks and

311
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: like he what what he does struggle with that Where

312
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: he really struggles is off the ball, his man.

313
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: He loses his.

314
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Man by ball watching all the time, and it creates

315
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: defensive problems that then end up usually in good shots

316
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: for the other team.

317
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 7: I agree with that, and I also agree with you

318
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 7: when you say you're encouraged overall by the game. I

319
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 7: think if that game is in ruugh.

320
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 8: We win that game.

321
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah.

322
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 7: I think the rematch will be great.

323
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it will. I think it'd be a

324
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: great environment. I me remember we started SEC play last

325
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: year with him and Rup, and we'll finish it this year.

326
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.

327
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: Look I'm under no, I'm under no delusions that were

328
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: really good.

329
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I'm not. They're better than us.

330
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: For me right now, with six games left, the season

331
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: is all about can you get in a tournament?

332
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Can you avoid like an eight to nine seed where

333
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: you have to play a one in the second.

334
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: Round, and then can you be good enough that if

335
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: when you play you make it. If you make it

336
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: the second round and you get that to or three seed,

337
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: are you good enough that you got a chance to

338
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: pull it off. Four weeks ago, I didn't even know

339
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: if we were to make the tournament. Now I look

340
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: at it and I say, okay, Florida is a to

341
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: or three seed.

342
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: We won't draw them because they don't put SEC teams

343
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: next to each other.

344
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 2: But if we play like this, we would have a

345
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 2: shot in a game against them. So that means if

346
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: we get Iowa State or Nebraska or Michigan State or

347
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: whoever it is that is a two.

348
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Or three, I now think we can get in the game, and.

349
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: If they're a little off and we play our best,

350
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: we have a shot. That's where I am also, though

351
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: if we're a six seed, we could play an eleven

352
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: and lose in the first game.

353
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: We've clearly shown we can do that.

354
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: So but but I am more encouraged than I was

355
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago. And today was an example of

356
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 2: you're playing a two or three seed on their home floor,

357
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: and you had it.

358
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: You do a couple of things right, and you're you

359
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: had a shot at the game.

360
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: Who's next, James, James, Go ahead, James.

361
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 9: Two quick things. I think Nick Rausch needed to be

362
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 9: on every postgame show, and Matt, you gonna.

363
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: Beyond every one of them. He's not gonna be on

364
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: every one of them, but we will. He did get

365
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: he got He like Nick Rausch. He got mostly good

366
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: reviews and then some very angry reviews, which is kind

367
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: of what you like.

368
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: So he will be on. We will have him on more.

369
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll get one this year, just

370
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: because there's not much more left, but yes, he will.

371
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: Certainly we will use him more because I thought he

372
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: did a great job.

373
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 9: I got your last thing. You seem pretty convinced that

374
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 9: this team had to have Jalen Low to make a

375
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 9: run or be good. How far do they have to

376
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 9: go where you would say you were wrong. That's it,

377
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 9: thank you well.

378
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if they make the tournament, then I was

379
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: clearly wrong. I still think this team would have been

380
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: better if he had played all year and Pope had

381
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: designed this offense for them. But I will say this,

382
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: now that Aberdeen's playing really well, the drop off is

383
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: not nearly as much, so maybe, you know, maybe it

384
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I did not foresee Aberdeen being as good

385
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: if you think about the Aberdeen we saw in non

386
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: conference play. If that was the Aberdeen we were getting here,

387
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: then I would have been completely correct. But we're getting

388
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: a much better Aberdeen. So you get this Aberdeen. Yeah,

389
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: we might NodD need now. With that said, it would

390
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: be nice to have a back.

391
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Point guard another one. We're still a player short in

392
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: the backcourt.

393
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Uh, But no, Aberdeen has been In my opinion, the

394
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: unsung hero of this team's turnaround is Denzel Aberdeen, because

395
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: he's gone from somebody that I thought was really bad

396
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: in the first half of the year too.

397
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: He was our league score tonight I thought he was great.

398
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And let's give da R Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney,

399
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: moneymaker of the game. Injured, get small town compassion with

400
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 3: big city results when you call the Rocker at two

401
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 3: seven zero three two one four four two nine nineteen points.

402
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: He had four assists in thirty four minutes when everybody

403
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: was calling him a trader throughout the game. Denzel Aberdeen

404
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: on his homecoming night is arm moneymaker of the game.

405
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: He seemed a little amped up at the beginning, right,

406
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: he was like one of four to start, took one

407
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: or two bad shots, but I and then Pope took

408
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: him out, and then I thought when he came back

409
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: the second time.

410
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: From then on, Billy, I thought he was really good.

411
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And you mentioned his stretch was at the

412
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: beginning of the second half where he had maybe five

413
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 3: in a row six and that was huge.

414
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 10: Like we.

415
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: Immediately when the half started, we got it down to

416
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 2: I think, two, didn't we?

417
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I think we did.

418
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: And then they went on a seven ozer run which

419
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: got it back to nine, and again I thought, uh oh,

420
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: And then he scored five straight which put it to

421
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: four and kept it in that gap that we kept

422
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: for a while until we.

423
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: Kind of collapsed a little bit in the towards the

424
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: middle of the half. Who's next, Jacob, Jacob, go ahead.

425
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 11: Jacob, Hey man, man, you covered the game perfectly, I

426
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 11: will add. You know, we really seen why Jasper Johnson

427
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 11: doesn't get more minutes. He gave up that he was

428
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 11: running up the court with the ball and Boogie and

429
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 11: he was looking at Mark Pope instead of looking at

430
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 11: the main in front of him and watching the defensive player,

431
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 11: and Boogie stole the ball. And I thought that was big.

432
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 11: I thought he was gonna start doing his man on

433
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 11: man ball just because they booed him every time. And

434
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 11: but like you said, he got tooken out. I wanted

435
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 11: to follow up on that. That was that was perfect call.

436
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 11: I think we were a few defensive breakdowns from winning

437
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 11: that game. I'm I'm impressed. I mean, I'm not impressed,

438
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 11: but I'm not I'm not tore up about the loss.

439
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 11: You know, I was mad, but I think we beat

440
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 11: him at home. I think I think there was a

441
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 11: couple of stretches players than they have all year.

442
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a couple of stretches there where I

443
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: do think, if so, like there were a couple of

444
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: stretches where oh, like one time I always missed a

445
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: layup and I was like, oh, that would have cut

446
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: it to three.

447
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: That would have big, big, and he missed it.

448
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: And then one time we were kind of on a

449
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: roll and we did we and then we gave up

450
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: like two straight offensive rebounds and they scored both times.

451
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: And you know, you're right.

452
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: There were just these moments where I felt like if

453
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: we could just make wonder and then we would make

454
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: a mistake or Florida would make a big play, and

455
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: you're right. I mean they cut it to two once,

456
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: but it felt like every time we got to four

457
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: or five or six, when we had a chance to

458
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: get it to two or three or whatever, then they

459
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 2: would score, make it eight or nine.

460
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: We just couldn't quite get that threshold down.

461
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 11: One more thing, if we do get Cam Williams back

462
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 11: in the postseason, which I don't think so, but I

463
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 11: mean it's a possibility. I think that adds to our team.

464
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 11: I know he hasn't been able to practice, but hopefully

465
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 11: that rams up our defense a little bit more and

466
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 11: we can take down a Florida very health uh you know, Purdue,

467
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 11: or be very helpful.

468
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: You'd be very helpful. I think where yeah, appreciate the call,

469
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I mean, I think, you know, it'd

470
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: been nice to having this game. I think where you

471
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 2: they got so many bigs, but Cam could have played

472
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: like he's long, he could play the three on defense

473
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: like uh, but he could also be a stretch four.

474
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, he would be huge.

475
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: I I don't know if he'll come back.

476
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: Even if he come back, it's gonna be like spot minutes.

477
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: But again, like since he's gotten hurt, Chandler's really stepped up.

478
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying we don't need him, but I've

479
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: been surprited. I mean, Chandler made five threes today. I

480
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: really hope next year for me, it's all like, bring

481
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: Chandler back, and bring Moraino back. That's you know, that's huge.

482
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: And then if you could also bring Cam Williams back,

483
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: I think that's the core. And then you get two

484
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: stars out of the portal, and now you got a team.

485
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: You bring those three, you get two stars in the portal,

486
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: you get a point guard and a big and then

487
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: like a really good scoring six man, and then build

488
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: around that. You got a team that can be good

489
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: next year. But you know, I think I saw somebody online,

490
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: a college basketball reporter say the biggest thing for Mark

491
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: Pope in the offseason is bringing Moreno back. And I

492
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: would agree with that especially. I mean, the NBA goes

493
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: to the NBA, but you can't have him.

494
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Go to another college. You just can't.

495
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: And so he might really just get to name his

496
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: prize because we can't have him going to another college.

497
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta keep him.

498
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: He's gonna be He's gonna be a starr in coll

499
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: If he comes back next year, he's gonna be a

500
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 2: star in college. Now, if he goes the NBA, he's

501
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: probably gonna be playing in the G League, and you

502
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: know that is what it is. But if he if

503
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: he comes back, he's gonna be a.

504
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: Star in college.

505
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: What about Low?

506
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I can see whatever happens with Low to

507
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: me is fine. I mean i'd like to I actually

508
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: would like to have him back. But if Pope decides

509
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: there's a point guard out there it's a better fit.

510
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm good with it. I don't think he's crucial.

511
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: Those three guys I mentioned are both pretty crucial to me.

512
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: I don't know that I think low is crucial. Although

513
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: I'd be fine with him, I think it's gonna be

514
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: harder than people think to find a point guard better

515
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: than him in the portal. There ain't gonna be many.

516
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: I mean, what was he the fourth rank point guard

517
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: last year? That means there was only three better than

518
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: him than the four last year.

519
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're gonna have to have somebody. I don't

520
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: think Jasper stays, so I'm gonna have to get somebody.

521
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll see who's up next. Dave, Dave, go ahead, Dave.

522
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: Early on, just one second, hang on second, billies. People

523
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 2: are telling me Dave Ramsey took over the post.

524
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: W h A s not allowed that to happen.

525
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: Let me go, let me go talk.

526
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

527
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 12: I'm not Dave Ramsey anyway. You're You're you're analysis about

528
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 12: the blown layups and the poor preper defense was spot on.

529
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 12: It drives it will absolutely drive you crazy. But here's

530
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 12: the thing, here's the encourage you part from me. You

531
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 12: listen to the analysts and they almost they're almost guaranteed

532
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 12: that Florida is a perennial Final four team. The only

533
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 12: difference between those teams to me and us is we

534
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 12: have a less margin for error. We can't have when

535
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 12: we have we can't have a games when your when

536
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 12: your best player, I mean to be, we almost have

537
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 12: to have thirty five of die between Otaga and Denzel

538
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 12: and well, let.

539
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: Me put it, let me put it a different way

540
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: that on that point. Let me read you the numbers,

541
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: because we talked about this on the show. I totally

542
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: agree with you. That's a great way to articulate it.

543
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: Our margin of air is smaller. I think we said

544
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 2: on the pregame show, or we said yes on your

545
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: stage show, that we needed Chandler, Oway and Aberdeen to

546
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: get between fifty five and sixty, right, that's kind of

547
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: what we thought they needed to get, and they got fifty.

548
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: They got fifty.

549
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: Now, Oway had come into the game averaging I think

550
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: twenty or twenty one in conference play. He had thirteen.

551
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: If he gets his twenty one, that's eight more points

552
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: and it's a one point game, you know what I mean.

553
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: So like that's the margin of air is that Oway

554
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: was not quite what.

555
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: You needed today.

556
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 12: Absolutely one hundred agree. And last thing, Brandon Garrison is

557
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 12: one of the most frustrating players for me to watch

558
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 12: because he is constantly out of position on defense.

559
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean he is.

560
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 12: I couldn't tell you how many times he actually has

561
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 12: his back to the offensive player. Yeah, when rebounds go up,

562
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 12: his back will be to the basket and they just

563
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 12: volleyball the ball over top of his head. It just

564
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 12: seems like he's never in the proper position. He's very talented.

565
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 12: They attack him, but he's a great passer.

566
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: He can be a good passer, although I think he

567
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: sometimes makes bad decisions. But you're right, he can be

568
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: a good passer. But they attack him constantly for the

569
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: reason you're talking about, And it is clear. I don't

570
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: know where he got taught that the way to rebound

571
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: is to face the guy that you're you're boxing out

572
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: and then hit him with your They could call I mean,

573
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: I was complaining about the refs. They could call twice

574
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: as many fouls on Garrison as they do. He fouls

575
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: on every rebound. And the thing is he fouls and

576
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: then often doesn't get the ball, so he.

577
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: He I'm with you.

578
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: I I like his his excitement, I like his verve,

579
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: I like his energy, but he is a very frustrating

580
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: player for me to watch.

581
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 12: Totally great, Thanks guys.

582
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: Appreciate him A five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven.

583

Speaker 2: I We're gonna take a break. See if Billy can

584
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: get Dave Ramsey to shut up and put us back

Speaker 2: on eight forty and we'll take a break and be

590
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: How about that?

591
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: The cut Man and they had They had a long

592
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: conversation and both of them wrote me to praise the

593
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: other one. So so Alan wrote me to say my

594
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: mom was like the nicest person in the world. And

595
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: my mom wrote me to say how nice Alan was

596
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: to her. So how about that cut Man and Karen he.

597
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: Had a funeral. Sounds like a mad libs, but I'm

598
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: glad they interaction went well. Ears ringing at all today.

599
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: No I didn't.

600
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: I just all of a sudden, you know, you look

601
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, there's my mom's text. Oh, there's

602
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: Alan Cutler's text. Like all kinds, like all the big

603
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: stars are coming out. So I'm glad they I'm glad

604
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: they liked each other. Eight five, nine, two would be better.

605
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: It could be bad if they.

606
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: Didn't, it could have been bad because then, yeah.

607
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: Because I've been on my mom's side on them, the

608
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: hope Cutler knows that there's up next.

609
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: Catman is next, Catman.

610
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Catman, Hey man.

611
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: I tell you, I was really excited then. I was

612
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 8: pleased the way the Cats played today. I know they

613
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 8: I know we lost, but we really showed a lot

614
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 8: of grit and this team has a little a little

615
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 8: bit more upset. I think more people realize. I'm going

616
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 8: to go back to something I've told you personally, that

617
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 8: we need to stop the three and make teams make

618
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 8: the hard two.

619
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Yeah, I mean this team, this team, well,

620
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: I assume Pope looked at this team because if you

621
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: if you read the scouting report, you'd say, let Florida

622
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: shoot threes. That's their weakness. I mean, there were three

623
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth in the country, but then they came

624
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: out and made them. So I mean, you could make

625
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 2: an argument that when Florida makes ten threes, they're not

626
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: gonna lose.

627
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: But in general, I'm with you on that.

628
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: I mean I'm with you in Pope said, and I

629
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: believe is correct because if he says this, he knows.

630
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: Pope said, and I found this interesting. He said, in

631
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: college basketball in the last three years, the number one

632
00:31:52,640 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: correlation between winning and winning in the stat is protection.

633
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: That basically, the people who protect the rim the best win.

634
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: And I think to me, arranging our defense around, put

635
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: a hand on the three and protect the rim, I

636
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: think it's how you win.

637
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 13: Go ahead, totally, I totally agree. I don't mean to

638
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 13: interrupt you, but you know we we we did well

639
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 13: on the boards tonight overall. I know we kind of

640
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 13: slacked off in the second half. But this team has

641
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 13: a lot more upside than I think people realize. I

642
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 13: just want to I'm gonna pump a little sunshine.

643
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: I agree with you, I do think. I mean, I

644
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: don't appreciate the call. I think they have upside in

645
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: a one and out tournament. In a one and out tournament,

646
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: if they get the right draw, you know, we will

647
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 2: get the bracket out. And if we're a six or

648
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: seven seed, Billy, we could we could go to the

649
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: sweet sixteen, or we could lose in the first round,

650
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: and neither result would really surprise me.

651
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: Honestly, if we're six or seven, I could see it's

652
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: going to the Elite eight or losing in the first round.

653
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really could because I think the differential Our

654
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: worst is a barely a tournament team, but our best,

655
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: I think we saw tonight, is a team that can

656
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: beat a two or three seed. I don't know if

657
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: we can beat Duke or Michigan or Arizona, but I

658
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: think we can beat these other teams if we're if

659
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: we're if we're playing well, so you know, but we

660
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: also could lose to an eleven seat like I saw

661
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: UCLA's an eleven.

662
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: They could beat us. You just never know.

663
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially if Otega has a night like tonight in

664
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: the tournament. I mean, then you're gonna get balanced.

665
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: But see, I'm almost encouraged by Otaga didn't play well

666
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: and we still had a chance.

667
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

668
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: Those Chandler's threes cover up a lot.

669
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Well, that was big. You're not gonna get five threes

670
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: from Colin Chandler every game. That's fair. Who's next, Nate, Nate,

671
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: go ahead and Nate.

672
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 14: Yes, how y'all doing tonight?

673
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: Doing great?

674
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 12: Good?

675
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 14: Good good? So I want to touch on this here

676
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 14: Brandon Garrison come off the bench. Zero points, I want

677
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 14: to assist four fouls. That's not going to do it

678
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 14: and never will do it.

679
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to go with his stat line for

680
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: a second. Let me go with his stat line second

681
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: seventeen minutes zero points, three rebounds, one assist, two turnovers,

682
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: five fouls.

683
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.

684
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: You can't do that, especially in a game where their

685
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: bigs are as good as they are.

686
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 15: Right.

687
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 14: My next point was just giving a shout out to

688
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 14: the whole team, especially Colin Chandler, Captain Clutch. How did

689
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 14: you check GPT for the first time tonight? And I

690
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 14: do want to say one thing. It brings up something

691
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 14: about Chandler's efficiency versus consistency.

692
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 11: Could be debated.

693
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 14: I don't really make sense of that. Maybe you could

694
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 14: shed light on that.

695
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 8: I'll hang up.

696
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't I think chat GPT. I mean, I I

697
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: appreciate the call.

698
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 2: I recognize it has value, but I am billy holding

699
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: out into the last possible moment to.

700
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Never use it.

701
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 3: Why are you threatened by it or do you think

702
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: it's not?

703
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have a career that it

704
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect.

705
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think there's gonna be a chat

706
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 2: GPT postgame show better than ours.

707
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: But I just.

708
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: I read an article on the plane yesterday in the

709
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: Atlantic about what it's gonna potentially do to the economy,

710
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 2: and I just it's gonna be one of these things

711
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: that's gonna have some positive value, but I think the

712
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: negative is going to far outweigh the positive. Like I

713
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: read that it's gonna help like it's helping diseases that

714
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: don't usually get enough money to get studies, Like it's

715
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: helping with them.

716
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: That's good, right, But what it's gonna do the job

717
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: market and how much slop it puts out and how

718
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it to where we never.

719
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: Like that question, he asked, Like people will just take

720
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: that as fact.

721
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? You know?

722
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people who send me.

723
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: The amount of people who send me incorrect chat GPT

724
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: facts and go see this proves my point. It's like, ugh, anyway,

725
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: different topic. It's Valentine's Day. Let's stay positive.

726
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: Who's next? E? E?

727
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead? E?

728
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 16: Hi first time? Long time?

729
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: Who are who are?

730
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 15: So?

731
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 16: I feel like it's a love hate relationship tonight for

732
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 16: the Kentucky game on Valentine's Day. But my question is,

733
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 16: I know Valentine's Day. You guys may have some dates

734
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 16: coming up. What are your worst and best Valentine's dates

735
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 16: thus far?

736
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Oh?

737
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: Wow, Uh, I appreciate the call. Really, I'll let you

738
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: go first because they're gonna think I mean the best.

739
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: You know, we don't need to get into that the worst.

740
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: The worst would be more interesting.

741
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

742
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: Mine was two years ago with my current fiance, and

743
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: I make the same meal every Valentine's Day. So it's

744
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: flame mignon, baked potato, asparagus, and shrimp.

745
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: So you never take her out like this is your

746
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: way of saving money.

747
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's okay, all right, that scam going out

748
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: on Valentine's okay, But I overcooked the steak and I

749
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: was really hyping it up. It was no jay. Linda

750
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 3: Farms overcooked the flame mignon, and she cried at the

751
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: dinner table. She cried, Yeah, she cried.

752
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: Oh she's not gonna like that.

753
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 3: She said that, Uh, well, that's okay. I rebound.

754
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: You must have really overcooked it.

755
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then no cha, Linda gave me step by

756
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 3: step instructions on how to cook the filet. The next year,

757
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 3: which was last year, and it went great doing it again. Yeah,

758
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 3: I lost.

759
00:37:54,800 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: I have a history of like having horrible holidays, like horrible.

760
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: New Year's Eves, horrible Force of July. I can't think

761
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: of anything horrible that's happened on Valentine's Day. I did

762
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: one time. It was dating a woman and forgot to

763
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: make a reservation anywhere and there was like nowhere I

764
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: think it was in Louisville, and there was nowhere that

765
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: she would have wanted to go that we could get in,

766
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: and we ended up going to like a takeout tie place.

767
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: And that was kind of a symbol I think at

768
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: the time of me not being thoughtful, which.

769
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: Probably was not.

770
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: It was, you know, because it's during the season, Billy,

771
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: there's we got stuff going on, and I probably didn't

772
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 2: that it was probably a fair criticism, to be honest.

773
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do remember that.

774
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: I do remember driving around like Frankfurt Avenue hoping there

775
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: was some restaurant that wasn't Did you show up.

776
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: With out a reservation or you just didn't go you

777
00:38:58,560 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: didn't have one?

778
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: Uh No.

779
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 2: I realized like in the morning, okay, and I had

780
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 2: done it, and I was like, but there's still time,

781
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: But there wasn't time. There was no Yeah, there was,

782
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: there was, there was no time.

783
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: One morning. We'll take a break. Who's neck? Ben? Ben?

784
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

785
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Matt talking about Aberdeen. Yeah, he had a great game.

786
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 5: But one thing I noticed too many times today. He

787
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 5: would drive into the lane, draw the defense, and then

788
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 5: we'd have guys open. Colin Jelvic, you know, we'd have

789
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 5: guys open, and he would force something up or try

790
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 5: to lob it at the rim. When Florida's main strength

791
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 5: is at the rim, like you were talking about, is

792
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 5: there is Did coach Pope want to do that or

793
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 5: do you?

794
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 10: You haven't an I.

795
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 5: Don't as good as our shooters were shooting today.

796
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

797
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean, but but I when I sit there and

798
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: think of the layups are perimeter guys missed for the

799
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: most part, I think they should have made him, right, I.

800
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: Mean, oh yeah, you know, so, I don't.

801
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: They contested, but I feel like we still should have

802
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: made him. I mean, Oway is an elite. He is

803
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: a really really good, uh driver of the basketball. So

804
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: he just has to be better finishing. He just has to.

805
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: I think of a guy like Keith Bogans. You remember

806
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: Keith Bogans. Keith Bogans was the king to me, the

807
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: king of drawing, contact and finishing. Joe Crawford was really

808
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: good at that too. He could take your hit and

809
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: finish and get the end one. Oh what, there's no reason,

810
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 2: no way, there's no reason. Now always not as good

811
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: a shoot her as Bogans and maybe as Crawford, But

812
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: when it comes to that talent, there's no reason he shouldn't.

813
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: Be as good as those guys.

814
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: And he just he just he just misses it and

815
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: and sometimes not even when he's hit, and so I

816
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: wish he was better at that.

817
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: But go ahead.

818
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 14: Yeah.

819
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 5: One more thing though, it's when seems like today and

820
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 5: I know we've talked about the rest and I hate

821
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: to even mention that because but it was bad. A

822
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 5: lot of times. Aberdeen especially was getting pummeled and no call.

823
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 7: You know.

824
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 5: Look look one time he even got up and Luke

825
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 5: at the left like, come on man, I could saying,

826
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 5: come on man.

827
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 7: What No.

828
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: In the second half, I thought they went through a

829
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: period the rest from about the fifteen minute mark of

830
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: the second half to about the five minute mark where

831
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: I thought they were awful down the stretch, I just

832
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: thought during that and that was a period where Florida

833
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: went on run.

834
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.

835
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 2: I thought they were really really bad, and I think

836
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: there was someone rebounding and then a couple of those

837
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 2: drives twice I can think of where Aberdeen should drawn

838
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: found he didn't. And Diabote gets Diabote's like Shack in

839
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 2: the sense that he gets fouled twice as many times Billy,

840
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: as they call it. Diabote gets fouled a lot, whereas

841
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: I think Garrison probably gets fouls people more than they

842
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: call it. The Abatte does not get a good whistle

843
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. The refs seem to have it out

844
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: for him. We'll take a break if I'm nine to

845
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. It is the Local Toy Dealers

846
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: KSR post game show, Welcome back. It is the Local

847
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: Toy Dealers KSR post game show. A couple of people

848
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: tell me, Billy, it sounds like you or I are

849
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: are chewing gum?

850
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: Are we chew? I'm not chewing gum? Are you?

851
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 3: I don't have any gum. I would never do that

852
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 3: on the radio.

853
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: And say it's when people are calling it sounds like

854
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 2: one of us is chewing gum.

855
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

856
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't think I was chewing gum. I might be,

857
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: you know what it might be. I take a drink

858
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 2: of this coke.

859
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: Zero, can't wait? Drink your coke?

860
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: Well, the mic may be too close to my mouth there,

861
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: I'll move it back, or I will stop drinking during them.

862
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna blame you, but now that I think about.

863
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 3: It, it was time.

864
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: Not this time.

865
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: Let's do five more and then let's all have a

866
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day to remember while Billy cooks his full at Mignon.

867
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 15: Cody, go ahead, Cody, Hey, Matt, Hey, Billy, how are

868
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 15: we doing?

869
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: Doing good good?

870
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 15: I had two points I just wanted to say. I

871
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 15: know you, I know you've already talked about this, But

872
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 15: the refs, I think there was two or three maybe

873
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 15: travels by the Florida Big guys, and I just I

874
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 15: don't know. I mean, it's it's rough, but oh.

875
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one guy, that one guy, he would get

876
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 2: the ball and shuffle his feet on nearly every post

877
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: up Condon, there were at least two.

878
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. They were. I mean they're kind of

879
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: hard to see, but they, without question.

880
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 15: Happened for sure. And then the second point is if

881
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 15: all of our players, like Brandon Garrison, if he gets

882
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 15: a double double Malcamorano plays great, how deep do you

883
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 15: think we can get into the NCAA tournament.

884
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, again, it's all about matchups.

885
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this team, if everything connected and they played

886
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: their best, I think they could get to the Elday.

887
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: I also think they can lose in the first round.

888
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: So you know, if you've listened this show, and I

889
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: appreciate the call, I've been saying for fifteen years that

890
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: you can't only judge a team by what happens in

891
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: the tournament because there is randomness in the tournament. You

892
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 2: can judge a coach and a team about what happens

893
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 2: over a period of years. But you know, we almost

894
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: lost to Princeton in twenty eleven in the first round

895
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 2: and we went to the final four. And you know,

896
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 2: if we lose to Saint if we beat Saint Peter's,

897
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: who knows, maybe we go to the Elye Day. You

898
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 2: just you never know. So I think that's why you

899
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: have to judge over a period of years.

900
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Who's next? Cole Cole, go ahead.

901
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 17: Cole at first time?

902
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 11: Colin, who I.

903
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 7: Uh.

904
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 17: One thing I did like about Pope tonight is it

905
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 17: did show that he had a little bit of emotion

906
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 17: on the sidelines, which we haven't seen a lot this year.

907
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 17: And another question that I had, if Pope does land

908
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 17: elite talent, whether that be out of the portal or

909
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 17: from the high school ranks, how good can Kentucky be?

910
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 17: I mean, this year we have good players, but it's

911
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 17: not like that we have a bunch of of elite

912
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 17: players like Arizona, du et cetera. So I just wanted

913
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 17: to get your thoughts on that.

914
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, because I don't know how

915
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 2: he will do with elite players. You know, there are

916
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: guys like his mentor Rick Patino. When he was at Louisville,

917
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: he did better with guys that weren't elite. When he

918
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 2: got elite guys, it didn't always work out. Think about

919
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: like Samato Samuels. So maybe Pope's a guy, but we

920
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: still need elite guys because there's an athletic advantage that

921
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: sometimes we just don't have. So I hope when he

922
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: gets a good guy, and I appreciate the call. First

923
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 2: of all, I hope he gets one of those guys

924
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 2: and then if he does, I hope it works out.

925
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: We need it. We do not have. We have not

926
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: had elite talent since Pope's been here.

927
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 2: We've had really good college players, and I'm good with that,

928
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: but you need at least.

929
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: One guy who's a stud.

930
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: You may not need five of them like we sometimes

931
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: had during the Caliars, but you need at least one.

932
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 2: And we really haven't had one of those guys, even

933
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 2: if he's not your leading score. It's just you can

934
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: have an athlete that just other guys can't. Other teams

935
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: can't match up with Who's next? Tory, Tory, go ahead, toy.

936
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 6: Matt bro This this sucks. Every Everyone is calling, and

937
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 6: in a roundabout way, they're all asking you, like, hey,

938
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 6: in the off chance that this is better, can you

939
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 6: make me feel better? Everyone's asking the same question, and

940
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 6: the standard is just lower. We're just it's just a

941
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 6: lower standard, and everyone's trying, as humans do, to make

942
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 6: to make themselves still better.

943
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: What what do you mean by that? Let's have this conversation

944
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: for second, because I can't wait. Okay, you need to

945
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: come down and doge and we'll have the conversation.

946
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: I understand that people say Kentucky basketball shouldn't be X.

947
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. You know, we have not been elite

948
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: since before COVID. With that said, last year they went

949
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: to the Sweet sixteen. This year, you have a chance

950
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 2: to go to the sweet sixteen again if he were

951
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: to do that. While I would be disappointed in the

952
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 2: regular seasons back to back sweet sixteen's, there might be

953
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: seven programs, six programs in the country that will have

954
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: done that. Does that mean we're Indiana who barely makes

955
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 2: the tournament? No, it means we're not where we want

956
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: to be. We want to see Pope be like Duke

957
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: has been in the last few years, and we're not that.

958
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 2: But that also doesn't mean we're collapsing and that we're

959
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: somehow not relevant. I don't think that's true either, And

960
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't understand why it can't. There can't be moderation,

961
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: Why people have to go our standards are lowering.

962
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know who you want

963
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: to get on the roster right now?

964
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: This is the team we have, and considering this is

965
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 2: the team we have, I wasn't particularly mad about today's performance.

966
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, I know. I think we're a middling top

967
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 6: half SEC team, that we're not.

968
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: A middling top half We're not a middling We're not

969
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: a middling.

970
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:59,479
Speaker 1: Top half SEC team.

971
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: Okay, how many programs in the last six or seven

972
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: years have been better? Just take these are our worst

973
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: five or six years in the last thirty how many

974
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: programs have been better than US? Alabama, Florida, Auburn. But

975
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: Duke's not in our commerce. So you said, you said middling,

976
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 2: top middling cost St. John's, Kansas also not in our conference.

977
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 2: Also not in our conference. And Saint John's. By the way,

978
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 2: how St John's hang on?

979
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 12: Sir?

980
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: How St John's hang on?

981
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 2: Explain to me how I want you to make the

982
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: case why Saint John's has been a better program than.

983
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 6: Us in one of the last six years.

984
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me why Saint John's been a better program.

985
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 6: Well, you're trying to make me argue a point that

986
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 6: I wasn't trying to be brought up.

987
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: You brought up Saint John's, So tell me how sat Okay,

988
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 2: But Saint john.

989
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 6: Arguing that's not my original actually did the tangent point

990
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 6: that I made in the last fifteen seconds. The tangent

991
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 6: I went on, it's not my original point.

992
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is your original point?

993
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 6: Can I make my original point?

994
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 18: Yeah?

995
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 6: Absolutely no, so no, No. The point is that I

996
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 6: was trying to make his folks keep calling in and everything.

997
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 6: All of our success has to be explained and broken

998
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 6: down in a way that makes it palatable and and

999
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 6: and and I would like to say this. I think

1000
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 6: Kyle should have been fired his last four years. He

1001
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 6: was kind of a bum and it was his time

1002
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 6: to go.

1003
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: Uh kind of and were I mean, we were awful.

1004
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: It was his time to go. Yeah. Yeah, the last

1005
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: four years we lost.

1006
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 6: We should have fired. I don't think we found a

1007
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 6: replacement that's going to take it to the next level

1008
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 6: or continue the success that he had prior to his

1009
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 6: fall off. So now it's the point we're probably really

1010
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 6: at ten will team every year, and we have to

1011
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 6: now frame every little bit of success he has and

1012
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 6: have these conversations to where you have to argue about

1013
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 6: whether or not you're actually happy about it. And that

1014
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 6: is the standard. Now it's I think you're making. I

1015
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 6: think I appreciate the call. I appreciate the call you

1016
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 6: you're making. You're conflating two things. You're conflating the bigger

1017
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 6: picture conversation about whether or not Pope It's going to

1018
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 6: be successful at Kentucky, which is a conversation I think

1019
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 6: you have in the off season once we know how

1020
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 6: they finished the year, with the end season conversation.

1021
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: With what are we going to do this season?

1022
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: This roster was a terrible job by Pope, but it

1023
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 2: is the roster. So sitting here all year and saying

1024
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 2: these guys stink really doesn't do us any good. The

1025
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: question is we're six games from the NCAA tournament.

1026
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: How are we going to do?

1027
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: And the reason I brought up the Saint John's thing

1028
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: is in making the case that you don't think Pope

1029
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: is gonna be a great coach.

1030
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, you're you're allowed to make that case.

1031
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: A lot of people think that you say Saint John's

1032
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: because you just want to pile up on Pope. Saint

1033
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: John's has not been to the second weekend of the

1034
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: tournament in fifteen years.

1035
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 1: We went last year, and we beat.

1036
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 18: Him this year, Billy didn't we play Yes, So you know,

1037
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 18: the best point you made is is Pope gonna get

1038
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 18: to the standard of col.

1039
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 2: Before COVID. It's a hard standard. Cal was really really

1040
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: good before COVID.

1041
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: And if you don't think he will, that's not an

1042
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: unreasonable point. But we'll have to wait. I'm gonna wait

1043
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: and see two more. Who's next, Martin, Martin, Go ahead, Martin.

1044
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 19: Hey, Matt, I's gone good, Cami Matt.

1045
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, go ahead.

1046
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 19: So two points. The first one is a little bit negative,

1047
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 19: kind of to the previous College point on big take sure.

1048
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 19: I'm as pessimistic as some people come, and so my

1049
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 19: main gripe is just recruiting. Mitch Barnhardt at the end

1050
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 19: of the day, has to have a press conference and

1051
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 19: give fans a blunt answer as to why we won't

1052
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 19: get any twenty twenty six recruits, because right now it's

1053
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 19: just an insult in the slap in the face of

1054
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 19: the fan base who pays money to go to these games.

1055
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: That is a very reasonable point. My biggest concern about

1056
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: Mark Pope going forward is recruiting.

1057
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: We have no.

1058
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 2: Players for next year, and I'm worried about it. I'm

1059
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 2: very worried about the roster next year, very So that point,

1060
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 2: to me is a completely reasonable one.

1061
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 19: What's your next one, right, and we just need an answer,

1062
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 19: you know, just a blunt answer. What's going on, what's

1063
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 19: going on with Jmi, all that stuff. And then my

1064
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 19: second point more to do with the game. I'm actually

1065
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 19: extremely optimistic going forward one because the team showed progress.

1066
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 19: Before this game. I was saying to myself, just don't

1067
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 19: get blown out, don't get blown out.

1068
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 13: Don't get blown out.

1069
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 19: Because what has happened in the past two seasons is

1070
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 19: we seem to go on these runs of run of

1071
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 19: games where we went two or three in a row,

1072
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 19: and then you go to a big game and you

1073
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 19: get blown out by thirty and you go, well, what

1074
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 19: the heck? And you know, what is there to be

1075
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 19: optimistic about if we can't even fight in these big games.

1076
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 19: But tonight, you know, I was optimistic because it didn't

1077
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 19: seem like it took a step back in terms of mentality.

1078
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 19: And so now you say, Mark Pope can look at

1079
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 19: his team and go, Okay, I know the mentalities, right,

1080
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 19: I know I don't have to worry about that, so

1081
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 19: now we can work on the other thing. So I'm

1082
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 19: extremely optimistic. I mean, Florida hit what ten plus threes?

1083
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 19: The rest were terrible. We missed a thousand layups and

1084
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 19: we only lost by nine. And again we were favored

1085
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 19: to lose by double digits, So I'm optimistic going forward

1086
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 19: and I think we can. I'm always looking for us

1087
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 19: to win title number Now, I say, why not appreciate it?

1088
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 2: I actually agree with with almost everything he said. There,

1089
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 2: let's do one more and we'll call it a night.

1090
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:13,680

Speaker 10: But anyway, I got two quick things, buddy. I'll get

1109
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 10: off here. Uh, I thank Colin. Chandler needs to stay

1110
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 10: in the game. I don't know what he needs to

1111
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 10: come out of the game if he asks to come

1112
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 10: out of the game, because a lot of bird team

1113
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 10: when he's on the floor, and I got onemost.

1114
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 7: A howl in the world.

1115
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 10: Did you go and look at the monkor and not

1116
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 10: see Oh? Yeah, get that guy grabbed the Bonte Jersey

1117
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 10: and held it man and they come back and say

1118
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 10: a comment file on Kentucky, thanks for taking.

1119
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: I think the answer to that question is because they

1120
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 2: called a foul on Kentucky first, and I don't think

1121
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: they're allowed to flip it. I think that's the rule.

1122
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: I think that's a stupid rule. Once you go to

1123
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: the monitor. The whole point of going to the monitors

1124
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: to get it right. How you gonna look at it,

1125
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 2: see it's wrong and then go well, we can't do that.

1126
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 2: That's dumb. I've always thought they should change that rule.

1127
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 2: And you you saw it tonight.

1128
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,319
