1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,960
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Why

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: don't you tell me this before I start, Billy, It's

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: a KSR Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. We are

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: here after a ninety five sixty four Kentucky absolute beatdown

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: of the Vanderbilt Commodores in rupp Arena on Senior Night,

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: a feel good game where Kentucky basically did everything they

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: wanted to do against an LSU team that was not

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: up to the task of playing in the game. We're

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: gonna talk about the game, but there's a lot going

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: on that effects Kentucky right now, including a Texas Mississippi

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: State game that it looked like Texas was going to

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: win and they absolutely blew in a way that was

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: amazing to watch, and they're going to overtime now. And

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: if Texas had won, it would have guaranteed Kentucky a

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: bye in the SEC Tournament. And now I don't know

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: if that's gonna happen, but Arkansas's playing Vandy. If Arkansas

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: were to win, I think we're close to Garreta. There's

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: a lot of different ramifications, but there are games that

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: put Kentucky with a chance to have a buy in

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: the first round of the SEC tournament, but none of

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: it would have mattered if Kentucky lost, and they did

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: not ninety five sixty four win in which they dominated.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was a feel good game.

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Obviously Away had twenty four, but no other starter had

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: double digits. So after the last game when it felt

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: like no one except the starters played well, this was

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: a game where three guys off the bench had double

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: digits Ansley Aminor fifteen, Brandon Garrison, fifteen, Colin Chandler eleven.

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: And you go from five points off the bench to

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: just those guys with forty one points off the bench.

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good change.

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: And it was senior night for six guys that, as

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: we talked about multiple times today, both on the regular

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: show and the pregame show.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, these are.

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Guys who basically I think brought back the fan excitement

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: that had been missing the last few years around the program.

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: Still remains to be seen, what they'll do in March

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: still remains to be seen, how the season will be remembered,

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: but regardless, this was a program that needed an injection

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: of life, and this group of transfers did it. And

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: I thought it was great to have them go out

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: with a victory like this. Some thoughts just on the

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: game going forward. I thought the key was Kentucky getting

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: the pace where they wanted to. They were able to

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: get out and transition. It did not look to me

48
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: like LSU, especially in the first half, had the energy

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: Kentucky did, and Kentucky was able to take advantage of

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: that and get up and down the floor, play with pace,

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: get an extra step. They made threes. Obviously it was

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: the seventeenth game they hit double digit threes. Maybe, but

53
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: they made twelve and they took thirty two. And you know,

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: we've talked a lot about getting that thirty to thirty

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: five to three point mark. When you do and then

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: you make twelve, this team can be pretty tough to beat.

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: So I like that.

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: I loved a couple things I really loved. I loved

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: how Brandon Garrison played. I did not think he played

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: well against Auburn, but now he's two out of the

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: last three games played well. If you consider Oklahoma, that's

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: good going in the postseason. You know, I'm not gonna

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: get too frisky about Colin Chandler because I don't want to,

64
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, he hasn't played a lot of

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: the year, but I'll tell you what, the Colin Chandler

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: you saw tonight is a guy who could He's not

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: gonna he's not gonna like you know, change, He's not

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna substitute for Jackson Robinson. But man, if he could

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: give you games like that on a regular basis in March,

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: even though I'd have to score eleven points, if he

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: can just hit knockdown open threes and if he can

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: play defense, he can be a key contributor. I've kind

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: of felt like without when they had Robinson, I felt.

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Like they had only eight guys that they.

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: Could rely on, and I've kind of felt like we were

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: a guy short. And I'm not saying Colin Chandler can

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: be that guy every game, but if he can be

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: it in some games, his athleticism allows him not to

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of get taken on defense like some of the

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: other guys, and you'd have a lot more freedom for

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: Mark Pope to do stuff.

82
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: So I was very excited that.

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: To me, he's the biggest takeaway of the game because

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: if he can play anywhere close to that the.

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Rest of this year.

86
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: Okay, now you're talking about something. They hit the boards

87
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: well shot well, Crod was into it. It was a

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: great night and I love the story Mark Pope told

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: at the end, which maybe you heard during his comments

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: about the young man Zach Tal who is from I mean,

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: it's a great story from Madisonville. Mark Pope had open

92
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: tryouts for a walk on this year. Zach got picked.

93
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: They intentionally, I wondered, because even though he was at everything,

94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: they never listed him as exactly on the team, and

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: so I didn't know was he on the team.

96
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: He didn't dress out for games. It was hard to

97
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: really know what was going on.

98
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, I guess they made the decision to let him

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: dress out on senior night. Lamont Butler presented him the

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: jersey right before the game. And as I was litting,

101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: and you know, that's a kid from Kentucky who now

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 2: because not only he got to wear the jersey, because

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: he got to check in with point two seconds left,

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: he will now go down as a Kentucky basketball player. Officially.

105
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he would have done that unless

106
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: he had gotten in the game. That's what this whole

107
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: thing is about. And you go and look at this

108
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: year again, We'll see what happens in March. We'll see

109
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: what happens in the SEC tournament, We'll see what happens

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament. But what has become clear is

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: something that I think had been lost a.

112
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Little bit in recent years.

113
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: This name on the front, overname on the back right,

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: that really kind of came back in this in this season.

115
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: And you had a lot of players who were very

116
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: appreciative to be on this roster, a lot of players

117
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: who were very excited to get a chance to be

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: at Kentucky. And this group did that, and then they

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: also won a lot against really good teams.

120
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: And now we go into March, who knows with a

121
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: chance to make a run. I thought it was interesting.

122
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: Mark Pope said, you know, we're gonna miss Jackson Robinson,

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: but now we at least know who our team is.

124
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: And that's right. This is our team.

125
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: We're not fully healthy, we don't have Kreasa or Robinson,

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: but we are fully healthy with the guys that are

127
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: on the team. And now we see what we have.

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: You got five starters that can all play. I think

129
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: you got five starters that can compete with anybody in

130
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: the country.

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: Can we get three bench guys to play with them.

132
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: I think if we can, this team can really make

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: a little bit of noise. Af I'm nine two eighth

134
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. Texas has not given up yet.

135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: They're up three with a minute and a half to go,

136
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: although Billy, they once again turned the ball over and

137
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: ends up in a dunk on the other side.

138
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

139
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: They don't want to win this game, but hopefully they

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: do because if they do, I'm looking.

141
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: At this if they can.

142
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: If if they lose and then Arkansas beats Vandy, Billy,

143
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: I think we're guaranteed to buy in the SEC tournament.

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna ask. Are we rooting for

145
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: Arkansas to eight two?

146
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: I am? I am? I mean, I think.

147
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: Even even if Mississippi State wins, I'm still rooting for

148
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: Arkansas because we have the tie breaker on Mississippi State.

149
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: We Vandy we split with, so the tiebreaker becomes a

150
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: little complicated when Vandy's in it. Who Doessissippi State play

151
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: in their next game? Mississippi State plays at Arkansas, So

152
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: again we almost need to root couch tights in order

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: to make sure we get our ye they found nine

154
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: to two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven.

155
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: We will take a break and be right back. This

156
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: is the Local Toy Dealers KSR post game Show. Welcome back.

157
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealer's KSR postgame Show. Since

158
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: we took a break, the Texassissippi State game has been

159
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: at the monitor the entire time.

160
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: So there you go.

161
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: That's a good thing that's consistent in college basketball is

162
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: we do need to spend a lot of time at

163
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: the monitor because that ultimately is where it is. They're

164
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: looking to see if Texas stepped out of bounds, and

165
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 2: they've been looking at it for three or four minutes.

166
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: And in my view, if you can't see him out

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: of bounds in three or four minutes, Billy, he's not

168
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: out of bounds, right, just make a call. Just look

169
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: at it, Like, what are you looking at, Doug shows

170
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: are you doing long division?

171
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Like, get off the camera.

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: These guys driving me crazy that there is nothing in

173
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: my that is frustrating me more about college basketball. I mean,

174
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: look at that they're still looking at this billion it's

175
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: been going off for four minutes.

176
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: What could they be looking at? Yeah, I don't know.

177
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: I'm just surprised that you're not watching the Trump address

178
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: right now, you've got basketball line.

179
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: I haven't watched the State of the Union since Obama,

180
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: and I don't expect to start anytime soon. Like there,

181
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: it's like those things used to have dignity and now

182
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: everybody screamed at each other.

183
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: It's not not worth it.

184
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: But I'd rather look at that than Doug Shalls looking

185
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: into that microphone.

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: Who's next? Soul train?

187
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: Sole train?

188
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: He was at the bar today. How are you soul trained?

189
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I am doing fine, Matt Jones. It was awesome

190
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 6: at the game tonight. I'll tell you. I got the

191
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 6: crowd pumped up and I haven't had them had their

192
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 6: hands up every time we went to the free throw line,

193
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 6: and guess what they made every single free throw. It's

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 6: my first yep, it was the first UK game I

195
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 6: went too since the since twenty eighteen, well actually twenty seventeen,

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, somewhere around there. But like, it's an awesome experience.

197
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,920

234
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: There's no there's there's no other volume level to go.

235
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: It is on the lowest level.

236
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: We've got to fix something here.

00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: if you don't, I mean, this is all I got.

242
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,040

Speaker 4: Ed?

246
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt, first time caller.

247
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: What's going on?

248
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 10: A couple of things you said last week has one

249
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 10: of the piggyback off of is to make up for

250
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,359
Speaker 10: Jackson Robinson. You talked about the first five guys, the starters,

251
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 10: what they need to do in the second tier being Alan,

252
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 10: Moore and Garrison, and then the three freshmen had to

253
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 10: produce more than one point, which I thought tonight. You know,

254
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 10: with Chandler, it was amazing watching him and he seems

255
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 10: to be one that's kind of coming into his own

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 10: as a freshman, which is great to see and see

257
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 10: his confidence rise. But do you think and I'll share

258
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 10: this real quick let you all talk about it. Do

259
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 10: you think with all the starters that if they could

260
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 10: average about four to six points above their average with

261
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 10: the next two probably about the same. And with what

262
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 10: Channeler did tonight with the three freshmen, maybe for them

263
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 10: to try to combine for ten to twelve points coming

264
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 10: off the bench in the roles that they play. And

265
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 10: also you know with the rebounding and the city.

266
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you're.

267
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: Asking them to You're you're asking them to have like

268
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: a crazy amount of points there. I mean like if

269
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: you have each starter gets six more points, that's thirty

270
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: more points. And then you do the same for the bench,

271
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: you're scoring fifty more points. Yes, if we score fifty

272
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: more points, we will win more games. But I guess

273
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm not doing much yeah thirty so but yes, we

274
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: need them to play better. I don't know if you

275
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: could expect them to to and O play that.

276
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Level of better.

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, that makes sense that yeah, yeah, I probably

278
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 10: exaggerated a little bit.

279
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 11: I'm glad you know.

280
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 10: That's what I want to bounce off to you. And

281
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 10: but hey, I just want to thank you guys.

282
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 11: Because you know, being in.

283
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160

284
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 10: three years from twenty eighteen to twenty in the Middle East,

291
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: two eighth twenty two eighty seven. Texas once again, they're

292
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: gonna blow it again. They were up five points with

293
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: a minute fifteen and now Mississippi State's about the tide.

294
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: This Texas may be the worst clutch How did we lose?

295
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: And did we lose to them in the clutch?

296
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? We did.

297
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: They're the worst clutch team I've ever seen and they

298
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: beat us in the clutch.

299
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: How did that happen? All right? Who's next?

300
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: Duncan?

301
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: Duncan, go ahead, Duncan.

302
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 12: Hey, what's up, Matt? I love the show. I just

303
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 12: had a quick question. So now we only have one

304
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 12: more game left in the season, and we obviously still

305
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 12: have the SEC Time Tournament, But where do you see

306
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 12: us at this point?

307
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 11: Like in March.

308
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 12: Do you think maybe this is a sweet sixteen, Elite

309
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 12: eight year we can get things going, or do you

310
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 12: think that as I say.

311
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I say, I feel I say, every time

312
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: this comes up, the tournament is random, so it's all

313
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: going to depend on the matchups, and uh, you know,

314
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: I need to see what the bracket is. I think

315
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: there's a big difference between this year being a three

316
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: seed and being a four seed. I think if we

317
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: beat Missouri on Saturday, we'll be a three seed, and

318
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: if we are a three seed, I think if you

319
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: look at the teams that could be the twos, we

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: got a real shot to make a run to the

321
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Elite eate. If you're a four, then it's gonna depend

322
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: on who your five is and who your one seed is.

323
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: So I think the Missouri game is important. And then

324
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: I think if you don't win the Missouri game, you know,

325
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: getting a run and in the in the SEC tournament

326
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: is important because I do think there's a big difference

327
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: between it being a three and four because I think

328
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: the one seeds are really good this year, but I

329
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: think the two seeds are are gonna be beatable, and

330
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: so I think it's just gonna depend on which which

331
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: seed we get.

332
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 12: And the thing is too with the SEC tournament. I mean,

333
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 12: if we get one or two games, I mean I

334
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 12: would pretty much solidify us as I having a higher

335
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 12: or a better seed. And that's going into the tournament.

336
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 12: I'm just be I'm getting nervous with the things.

337
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: But if we're an eight seed, and and I appreciate

338
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: the call, if we're an eight seed and you're playing

339
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: Auburn in the second game, it's gonna be it's gonna

340
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: be hard. And you know, we need some of these

341
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: teams to help us, but Texas could not be helping

342
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: us less uh here in the in the final moment.

343
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Let me, since I'm saying the negative, let me give

344
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: you some positives that could happen out of the bracket.

345
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: All right, If Mississippi State could somehow win this game,

346
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: excuse me. If Texas could win this game, and Arkansas

347
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: could beat Pandy, if Auburn come back and beats A

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: and M. You know, there's a world, Billy, we could

349
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: get all the way up to a five seed in

350
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: the SEC tournament. That world exists.

351
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 3: I would love that and avoid Auburn in that.

352
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that a lot of things have to happen,

353
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: but there's a world that you could get up to

354
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: a five, and there's a real world you can get

355
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: to a six. So uh in now, Mississippi State, just

356
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: this is two free throws. It is boy, this is

357
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: a This is a which team can throw this away

358
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: the most game? Who's next?

359
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: Farmer?

360
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: Farmer, go ahead, farmer.

361
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 12: Yeah.

362
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 13: I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the fact

363
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 13: that we actually shot the three. We got above that

364
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 13: thirty mark that we're looking for. We shot thirty two

365
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 13: of them, and we just out hustled them throughout the

366
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 13: entire day. We hustled them and we shut down Damian Collins.

367
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 13: They're a big man. Yeah, they really did.

368
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: They really played well against Damien, who had some success

369
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: against us last year when we played against him.

370
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, former Cat, we love him. We know he's going

371
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 13: through hard times when he was a Cat, but we

372
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 13: love him. But we shut him down this time. Get

373
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 13: him two points and go Cats.

374
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. They five nine, two eighty seven. Let's

375
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 2: take a break and come right back. The Cats with

376
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: a massive win first of one of the very few

377
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: comfortable SEC games we've had all year. I mean, we

378
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: haven't had too many where we just had a lead

379
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: at home and just one going away.

380
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: Is this right? I guess this one in South Carolina.

381
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: Really are only two that have been like that, so

382
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: it was nice to get it. We'll take a break

383
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: right back. I'm not sure I've ever seen an uglier

384
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: basketball game than the end of this Texassissippi State game.

385
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: But with all of it said, they got two free

386
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: throws here to.

387
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: Mississippi State will take the loss, and it looks like

388
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: they will, so that's good for Kentucky. So now Mississippi

389
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: State has lost, so that means that Kentucky they'll win

390
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: a tiebreaker versus them. So really, now, if we can

391
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: get Vanderbilt to get a loss either tonight or in

392
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: their next game, then Kentucky will be guaranteed to buy

393
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: in the SEC Tournament, which would be I think very

394
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: important for them going forward. So Vandy is playing Arkansas.

395
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: If Vandy either loses to Arkansas or if they lose well,

396
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: if they play at Georgia, I don't know if they'll

397
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: lose that one or not. So we need come on,

398
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: John Calperry, like, you know, can you give us one here,

399
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: like just for old time's sake, you just just get

400
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: one for us here on the road, all right? Who's

401
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: up next? Trevor, Trevor, go ahead, Trevor and Texas wins.

402
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: Go ahead A.

403
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 8: Matt first time?

404
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: Long time? Who are hey?

405
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 8: I could be crazy because it's displayed into the season,

406
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 8: and it could because I grew up in the Southeast Kentucky.

407
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 8: We beating and banging around down low, and Coach cal

408
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 8: had a lot of those athletes. But I'm still not.

409
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 8: I enjoy watching it, but I'm still not super confident

410
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 8: in the three point game on the offense. Can you

411
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 8: take some time to just boost my confidence a little bit?

412
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: What do you mean when you say when you say

413
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: on the three point game? What do you mean?

414
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 8: I'm used to watching ball back in the day. I

415
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 8: can't watch the NBA anymore. I am used to playing

416
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 8: ball under the basket, not shooting.

417
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Now. That's just not what basketball is anymore.

418
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean, like it's I mean, it doesn't make sense

419
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: to shoot under the basket unless you're open. Like, if

420
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: you look at the numbers, back to the basket, basketball

421
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: is next to long two's the worst shot you can take.

422
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: So I mean, this is basketball now it's shooting threes

423
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: and threes and layups.

424
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: That's basketball.

425
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 8: I did that and that definitely helps I appreciate it.

426
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not like, you know, we have

427
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: not shot the ball as well in SEC play for

428
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: a variety of different reasons. But I do think the

429
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: offensive style that Mark Pope plays is the right style

430
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: for the future.

431
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: It really is.

432
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: I mean you, I think the way Auburn plays is

433
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: honestly the way modern basketball on the college level is played.

434
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: They shoot threes.

435
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: Everybody on the team can shoot, but they have one

436
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: big who can kind of go inside outside with Broom.

437
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 2: And I think when Mark I think if you were

438
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: to ask Mark Pope at its best, what would you

439
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: like your offense to look like, he'd probably say a

440
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: lot like that Auburn team is so I mean, I

441
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 2: think the days of going okay, we've got I mean,

442
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: when you have Anthony Davis, it's a little different because

443
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: he's a special talent. But you remember that Yukon team

444
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: that won with a Mecca Oka four at the center

445
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: and the offense went through him. I would be surprised

446
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: if another team ever wins like that. I'm not saying

447
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: it won't happen, but it would surprise me because it's

448
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 2: just not the right way to play.

449
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: To be honest, I got you.

450
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 8: You were an attorney at heart, my friend.

451
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, you know. I mean, they like

452
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: you look at like a team like Purdue. Like last

453
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: year Zach Edie was like, he's like seven foot three,

454
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: he would still shoot three, you know. I mean that's

455
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: just what it is now, Like these guys like the

456
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: old days of you know, twin towers and playing through

457
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: the post. I just I don't think you're going to

458
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: see that very much unless you have a super special

459
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 2: talent like an Anthony Davis type, and there just aren't

460
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: many of those kind of guys that come around.

461
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: Who's up next, Henry, Henry, go ahead, Henry.

462
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, do you think LSU is just really bad

463
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 5: or do you think we might be playing with the

464
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 5: little extra after losing Jackson that sort of lockluster locks

465
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 5: against Auburn.

466
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: I think what happened is we got up big on

467
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: LSU early and they kind of quit. To be honest

468
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: with you, I think that was this was a game.

469
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 2: We're getting off to that early start. You know, we

470
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: were up I think twenty we were up like thirteen

471
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: to start the game, maybe twenty one to eight or something.

472
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: They put a mass sub in or maybe it was

473
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: eighteen to five, whatever it was, they put a mass

474
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: sub in and then they kind of came back, and

475
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: then Pope went back to the starters and we put

476
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: the foot on the gas again. Then I think they

477
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: just quit. I think somewhere with about six minutes left

478
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: in the first half, LSU just quit and really just

479
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: kind of mailed it in the rest of the game.

480
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: So they're not good.

481
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they're as bad as they were tonight,

482
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: but part of it was us. We put our foot

483
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: on the gas and they quit. Basically they stopped as

484
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 2: as I think Jack Gibbons said on the post game

485
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: that they just didn't look like they cared about playing defense,

486
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: and we took advantage of it.

487
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 13: Yep, completely agree.

488
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 14: He thinks that.

489
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Yeah, I mean that's I think that's our offense,

490
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: if not at its best, pretty close to it. I

491
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: mean that that our offense looked good, and when we

492
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: had Butler and Oway in it looked really good. I mean,

493
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: that's the best we are. That's the best our offense

494
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: has looked in quite some time. Now. Again, the opponent

495
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: is not very good, so you do have to keep

496
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: that in mind. I mean, well they're okay, but they're not.

497
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: But they quit. But part of that was what we

498
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: did too. Who's next? DJ? DJ? How are you DJ?

499
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 9: I'm doing good, Matt.

500
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 15: I just want to say I got to go to

501
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 15: the game tonight. My brother in law gave me my

502
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 15: dad some tickets, so thank you to Jacob. But what

503
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 15: an incredible atmosphere.

504
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 10: It was awesome.

505
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 15: And then even after the game, I mean, we could

506
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 15: talk about the game all day.

507
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 14: It was awesome.

508
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 15: But even after the game, me and my dad probably

509
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 15: left thirty thirty minutes ago, and Mark Tope and the

510
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 15: guys were still signing autographs. And some of the guys

511
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 15: did leave, but Mark Pope was out there signing the

512
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 15: autographs and I'm I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if

513
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 15: he was still signing autographs. And he's just awesome coach,

514
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 15: And just shout out.

515
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: To Mark Pope.

516
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one thing that's great about him, is he

517
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, we talked about he gets the job and

518
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: they do that. They do that after every win, after

519
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: every win home and away, they stay out there and

520
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 2: sign Sometimes they do it after losses, but they do

521
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: it after every win. And uh, you know, I don't

522
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: even think people realize often how long they stay for that.

523
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: And tonight, with it being senior Night, a lot of

524
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: people stayed longer. And I think they were there about

525
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: as long as they could be.

526
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 15: Yes, sir, and you guys have a wonderful night.

527
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: Go big Blue at eight five nine two eight h

528
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. See right now they're saying, like

529
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: at the State of the Union, people are just getting

530
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: up and walking out.

531
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: Like they It didn't used to be like that, Billy.

532
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: It used to be literally a speech that was not

533
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: a political speech. It was a state of the Union.

534
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: Well, the one guy got kicked out like five minutes in, think, yeah.

535
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: What's hee? What are you doing yelling?

536
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: Like, stop yelling the I remember what was like fifteen

537
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: years ago one of those dudes got yelled and in

538
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: each it's just a it makes me sad. I used

539
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: to really like politics, Billy, and they've made it sad.

540
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: But I do like march madness, which is much more fun. Anyway,

541
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: who's next.

542
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 3: It's a good thing he didn't run. Then let's go

543
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: to Bradley.

544
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been a bad decision.

545
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: It would have been, uh take something that this would

546
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: be like the worst time to be in it too.

547
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: So all right, go ahead, Bradley, Go ahead, Bradley.

548
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, great start to the game once again, at

549
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: the first seven eight minutes, I thought I was gonna

550
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 5: go nutty with those substitutions.

551
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 10: Overall, we played good.

552
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 16: I'm glad we got to win.

553
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 5: Uh, it's March, now, what what's your prediction for the tournament?

554
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: I'd love to see at sweet sixteen. I bet everybody

555
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 5: in Big Blue Natan would love to get in the

556
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 5: stick and weekend.

557
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 15: What's your prediction, Matt from.

558
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: Mar Well, I gotta see the Like I said, I

559
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: gotta see the bracket. I appreciate the call. I think

560
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: this is a team that's very dependent on matchups. I'll

561
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: make a prediction after the Missouri game because I I

562
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: think the Missouri game will determine our seed probably. I

563
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: think if we beat Missouri, I think we're definitely a

564
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: three seed. If we lose, we could still be a.

565
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: Three seed, but will probably be a four. And so.

566
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: Ask me after the Missouri game, because I think we're

567
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: a three seed. I like our chances because those twos,

568
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 2: and you're looking at the twos right now, it's probably

569
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: gonna be what Iowa State, Michigan State.

570
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: Then what maybe Alabama they won't pair us with them.

571
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: So Iowa State, Michigan State are those are teams we

572
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: can beat, So i Wisconsin we can beat those teams.

573
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 2: So I really hope we can find a way to

574
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: get a three seed. And if we're a three seed,

575
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: we'll play closer to home. We'll play either in Providence

576
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: or Denver. We won't go all the way to Seattle.

577
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm hoping for.

578
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: There's next, Dwayne, Dwayne, go ahead, Dwayne.

579
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 5: Hey, there's a great one by the cast night.

580
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 14: But I ask you a question.

581
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: JD Vans he's from eastern Kentucky.

582
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: And he's not. He's not He's from Ohio.

583
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 13: Well, I mean he was born there, wasn't he.

584
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: No, his grandparents moved.

585
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, his grandparents were lived in Eastern He might have

586
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: been born there, but he lived in Ohio growing up.

587
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: And then his grandparents lived in eastern Kentucky, so he

588
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: would go, he would visit them, and that's where that

589
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: book came from.

590
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just telling Kentucky or he's from Ohio. Okay,

591
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: all right, I mean I don't know what else you

592
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: want me to say.

593
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: I think he may have been born in Kentucky, but

594
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: he lived he grew up in like outside of Cincinnati,

595
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: in Ohio.

596
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I appreciate the call.

597
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: Was he was still there. I think he just left

598
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: him speechless.

599
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's spot the book is about.

600
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: He would live in Ohio and then in the summers

601
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 2: he would visit his grandparents and he would talk about

602
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: the difference in the two cultures and all that. I mean,

603
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: he has Kentucky connections, that that part is true, but

604
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: he's I mean, I moved to Middlesbrough when I was five,

605
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: so I consider myself from Middlesbrough. I was technically born

606
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: in Lexington, but I grew up in Middlesbrough.

607
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: So born in Middletown, Ohio. According to wikipeople, he.

608
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Was born in Ohio. That's what I said. He was

609
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: born in Ohio. Like, what do you think his point was?

610
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: What was he going to be asking?

611
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, he's a Kentuckian. We need to support him.

612
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: And even if he.

613
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: Was like you don't I mean you said, well, okay,

614
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: let's get back to basketball.

615
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: Who's next, Melissa, Melissa, go ahead and Melissa. Yeah.

616
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: I don't know why everybody's trying to talk politics tonight.

617
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 12: Here we are trying to.

618
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 13: Like watch a basketball game.

619
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Let me read you, U how you do before you

620
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: do your thing? Let me read you the bracket right now,

621
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: because this was my point I was making a minute ago.

622
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: The bracketology right now with Joe Lonardi has this is

623
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: the three seed playing Utah Valley in Denver. If we won,

624
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: the winner would be Saint the winner we would play

625
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: the winner of Saint Mary's and Indiana. Feel good about

626
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: that game, and if we won that play Iowa State.

627
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know about you, but I think

628
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: we got a real good shot in that scenario.

629
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 8: But go ahead, Yes, first time, long time, look super.

00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,520

642
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,560

Speaker 2: You never know what's gonna be on the other end

644

649
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: Never mind, I feel like he took more than that.

650
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: I know he takes a handful of him in the NBA,

651
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: but go ahead, Darlene.

652
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 16: Hey, Matt, I spoke to you after the Oklahoma win.

653
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: I was just so excited about being able to speak

654
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: to you.

655
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 11: I just make a lot of good points itself. I

656
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 11: wanted to call in tonight to make a good point

657
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 11: about our coach, Mark Pope.

658
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 13: Twenty wins.

659
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 11: I don't care what people are saying, first year coach.

660
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 14: Gotta give him credy.

661
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty wins when he only had a handful of

662
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: weeks to build the roster and what is certainly the

663
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: best sec of all time and arguably one of the

664
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: best conferences of all time. And in the process, you

665
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: beat Duke, you beat Tennessee twice, you beat Louisville, you

666
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: beat Gonzaga, you beat Florida, You win seven games against

667
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: top twenty five teams. As we said on the pregame show,

668
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: I think if you took out the Arkansas game, you

669
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: could almost argue you won every game that you went

670
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: into the season really wanting to win. So I have

671
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: to agree with you, Darlene. I think it all things considered,

672
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: you can't help but say it is a successful year.

673
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 11: Thanks Matt for saying everything I wanted to say tonight.

674
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 10: You're the best journey.

675
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Darlene. I appreciate it.

676
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, Arkansas

677
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: is down three, are you not gonna pull for Arkansas, Billy?

678
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's I know it's cow, but like,

679
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: we need them to win. If we win, we don't

680
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: have to play on Wednesday.

681
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, we're I definitely will. I'll pull for them.

682
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we I think we need to, uh,

683
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: we need to get it because I think, and again

684
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: I could be doing the math room, but I'm fairly

685
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: certain if we win. If they lose, then we would

686
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: win all the time breakers. So we have play on Wednesday.

687
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,840

00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: you know, if you're going to try to like do

716
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: a joke call, you gotta be better than that.

717
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Like I was almost certain that was a joke from

718
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: the beginning.

719
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,879

Speaker 8: I think's gonna get blown over by the wind.

731
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 17: Smoking the victory cigar.

732
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Good.

733
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 17: I mean, uh, I mean, I just say, it felt

734
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 17: like a real senior day. That's the first thing I say.

735
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 17: I mean, you actually knew the players who are seniors

736
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 17: this year.

737
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 11: That was cool.

738
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they've only been here a year. That's

739
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: no different than it is. That's not I mean, all

740
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: of our senior days have been guys who transferred in

741
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 2: in the last seven or eight years, and we're here

742
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: for a year.

743
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 17: Most of those guys were playing and that was that

744
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 17: was cool. The other thing I want to say is

745
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 17: is that Pope set up Brandon Garrison and his post

746
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 17: conference interview.

747
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: He says, what do you think about.

748
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 17: Brandon when he shoots the three? I mean, personally, every

749
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 17: time he shoots that, I'm afraid and it's not going in.

750
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was, I think at the beginning

751
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: of the year. But he's shooting such a good percentage

752
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: now that if he's open.

753
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: Now, I actually don't like when he gets it in

754
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: the block and decides to do something.

755
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: But when he but when he shoots an open three,

756
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: I've actually become almost.

757
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: And I think he I think he actually does. He's

758
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: got good form. It's when he's open. He's he next

759
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: to Bray. He probably makes it as much as anybody.

760
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: You know.

761
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think the numbers speak the truth. But it

762
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 17: just makes me nervous.

763
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: I get it.

764
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: I get nervous when he dribbles. That's that's when I

765
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 2: get nervous. I'd much prefer him shoot a three. When

766
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: he starts handling the ball and he's dribbling it like

767
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: stan Lee way out in front of him from the office,

768
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 2: that's when I get nervous.

769
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 17: It's like one of those times where you're like, uh,

770
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 17: you don't want to do it, but it goes in

771
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 17: and you're like, yes, I'm glad I was wrong.

772
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I appreciate the call. Uh yeah, I

773
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: don't know. It's interesting. It's interesting to hear Pope talk

774
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: about the players that might come back. Because he talks

775
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: about them, you kind of get a sense of if

776
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: he thinks they're coming back. He he talks about Garrison

777
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: like a guy who is gonna come back next year

778
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 2: to Kentucky.

779
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: So that's interesting.

780
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 2: That's good to see an interesting I think same with

781
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: o Way, although when he talks about Cresa, it's harder

782
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: to tell.

783
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think, uh, I think they probably.

784
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that might be a

785
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: little different with Pope in the last regimes, I think

786
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: they know. I think they know what guys are gonna do,

787
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: and I think they might I mean, I don't know,

788
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: they might already know who they're gonna get from other teams.

789
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. A and M is now up eleven

790
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 2: on Auburn. Uh, you know, we we hold the tie

791
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: breaker on A and M. So if they had taken

792
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: this loss tonight with that would have been good. But

793
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: looks like they may win. Who did they play in

794
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: their last.

795
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: Game, Billy? They played at LSU.

796
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: See, that's unfortunate because we owned the time breaker on them.

797
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 2: I thought we they'd lost tonight, we might have had

798
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: a chance to pass them in the standings. Who's next?

799
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 3: Steve is next?

800
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: Steve? Go ahead? Steve?

801
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 5: A Hi, Matt. First, I wanted to express my displeasure

802
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 5: on ABC putting the rest of the game on ESPN

803
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 5: News Saturday after they put their fire out. I thought

804
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 5: that was kind of sucky.

805
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: But they did they end up putting any of it

806
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: on TV.

807
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know any of it got on TV.

808
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 5: Yes, the end of it was played on ESPN News.

809
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 5: My Papa and I had slipped over and was watching

810
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 5: a dodgeball on the ochow and I had come back

811
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 5: from the bathroom and the game was just on.

812
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't run, so we couldn't walk.

813
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 5: But that was after the fire was put out. But

814
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 5: tonight's game, I wanted to point out that you had

815
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: mentioned we had went up early in the game, and

816
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 5: then Pope put in all the subs, and and you know,

817
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 5: we started to lose that lead a little bit after

818
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 5: that point. He never mass subbed again.

819
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: Agree much.

820
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 5: Every time I saw bench players in, I saw three

821
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 5: starters and two bench players, I think, yeah.

822
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 2: He I totally agree with you. And he not only

823
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: went to the bench again. Far be it from me,

824
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: like he knows more than I do. I always want

825
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: to say that.

826
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: But.

827
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: He literally had the worst defensive lineup that we could

828
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: possibly put on the floor together because the only starter

829
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 2: he had left in was Brea, who is our worst

830
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: defender of the starters. So the lineup he had in

831
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: was Perry, Breya, Noah, Almanor, and Garrison. Like you can't

832
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 2: have a worst defensive lineup. He had the four starters

833
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: out and then the one decent defender coming off the bench,

834
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: which is is Chandler. So I think he quickly realized

835
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: that you're right. He didn't do it again, but like, literally,

836
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: you couldn't draw up a worse defensive unit than that,

837
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: and he just can't play all those guys at the

838
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 2: same time.

839
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just hoping he learned something tonight. Until the

840
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 5: garbage time. He did three starters, two backups, and I

841
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 5: think it worked because three of our top five scores

842
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 5: tonight were bench players.

843
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate, appreciate the call. Now.

844
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 2: See, these are the kind of people when they write

845
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: in Billy that I appreciate.

846
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: Okay, can I read you a back and forth with

847
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: a guy on the text? Please? Yes?

848
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: Okay, He writes, Matt, why are you so concerned about Vanderbilt?

849
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: We beat them in every different tiebreaker possible. Uh, if

850
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: we end up tied with them, we're ahead of them.

851
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: Why are you worried? And I said, well, if they

852
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: were to win tonight in their next game and we

853
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: lose to Missouri, they'll finish one game ahead of us.

854
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: And he responded, I got you.

855
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm a lot dumber than I look, and I

856
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: look pretty dumb. That's a great answer, right, that's like

857
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: self deprecating. See that's what I like. Four more, who's.

858
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 3: Next, We've got another Steve on the line.

859
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: Steve, go ahead, Steve.

860
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 11: Hey Man. First of all, you do a great job.

861
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 11: I love the work that Mario is doing as well.

862
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 11: He puts out fantastic content. I hope people see what

863
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 11: a good job he's doing. Kentucky.

864
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 10: Really, they had a fifteen.

865
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 11: To oh run in that first half, and that was

866
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 11: a you know, it set him up for a substantial

867
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 11: halftime leave.

868
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: They had two runs. They had a fifteen oh run

869
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: and then they had a ten o run after that.

870
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, and can you talk a little bit about the

871
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 11: fact struggled with transition defense but tonight they were really

872
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 11: solid defensively in transition and a little bit about how

873
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 11: they limited their turnovers and actually got a lot more

874
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 11: steels than we're used to seeing as well.

875
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: Totally agree with both of those points. And I appreciate

876
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 2: the Colin thank you for what you said about Mario.

877
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: He does a great job and has added you know,

878
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: as we hit our fifteenth year here, you know, we've

879
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: had kind of a core group. We added Billy a

880
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: few years ago from an organizational standpoint, and then and

881
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 2: content and then Mario with the social media. It's been great.

882
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate how everybody's welcomed him. Now on your point

883
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: about the transition defense, we did do better at it.

884
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: Part of it was and this is actually I'm going

885
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: to steal from Cal because Cal used to talk about this.

886
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,959
Speaker 2: There's difference between turnovers and bad turnovers. Right, the last

887
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: few games, we've had a lot of bad turnovers, which

888
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: are not just turnovers that occur, but that lead to

889
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: fast breaks the other way or threes where you miss

890
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: and it kicks out towards the other goal. We just

891
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: didn't have as many of those tonight, so I think

892
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: it was harder for LSU to get transitioned. I mean,

893
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: Damian Fishback kept talking about getting in transition for LSU,

894
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: but they just had a hard time. Part of it

895
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: was we got back, but part of it was we

896
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: didn't turn the ball over in places that led the

897
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: fast breaks. That was always something back when I would

898
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: go to Cal Perry practices. He would say to the guy,

899
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: if you're going to turn it over, you know, turn

900
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: it over not at the top of the key because

901
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: it leads to a layup the other way, And he's

902
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: exactly right about that. You're much better turning it over

903
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 2: in the corner or down low because you can lead

904
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: to a layup, and we had a lot of those,

905
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 2: especially against Auburn, where we just turned up led to

906
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: a straight layup down the other of the court. Arkansas

907
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 2: leads by six at halftime. The bandy they go on

908
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 2: a run. So Arkansas may be gonna help us book

909
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 2: the day one by here tonight if they can hold on.

910
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: Who's next, Zachary?

911
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: Three more? Go ahead, Zachary.

912
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt, you know, everything that Pope has done this

913
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 9: season just you know, on or just remarkable. But with

914
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 9: his philosophy about his bench, in his lineup, just the

915
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 9: fact that he doesn't seem to want to like even

916
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 9: think about alternating or keeping the main guys in for

917
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 9: longer in the game because of the max efficiency thing. Like,

918
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 9: to me, that is just concerning for the tournament coming up,

919
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 9: because if you're not even like even willing to negotiate,

920
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 9: you know, who are going to be your main guys,

921
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 9: Like I just think that that could really cost us

922
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 9: maybe a game, you know, in the tournament. So it's

923
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 9: just really concerning. But you know, like you said many

924
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 9: many times, like the fact that he's done the job

925
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 9: he's done in the matter of time he's had to

926
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 9: do it. You know, I don't think any other coach

927
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 9: could really could do it like he has. But just

928
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 9: the lineup thing is pretty concerning.

929
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, although Jess, I appreciate Carl, I agree with you,

930
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: but as.

931
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: The out you know he did, he didn't do it

932
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: again after that run. I mean he kind of all

933
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: until the end didn't really matter as much, but he

934
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: always tried to keep I think the key is I

935
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: don't think you can have Butler in a Way on

936
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 2: the bench at the same time. I think our perimeter

937
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: defense besides Butler in no way is not gonna be

938
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: very Travis Perry is not a good defender.

939
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: Kobe Bray is not a good defender.

940
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: Trent Noah is an okay defender, but he's not a

941
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: good defender out on the out on the three point line.

942
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: He's he's better inside.

943
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: So if you don't have either Butler or o Way in,

944
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: the other team's guards are just gonna crush you. And

945
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: so I just don't think he can ever take those

946
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: guys out at the same time. And I think if

947
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: he does, then he's got to have Colin Chandler in.

948
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 2: So when you go back to that run they went in,

949
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: he didn't have any of those guys in, and I

950
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: just don't think you can do that. You know, in

951
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: the interior, Amari's a lot better than Garrison defensively. I

952
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 2: think cars better than Almonor defensively. But sometimes you can

953
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: make that work. But he just cannot have Butler and

954
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: Oway on the bench at the same time. If he does,

955
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 2: they just they cannot defend on the perimeter. And I'll

956
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: be interested to see if he stops doing that like

957
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: he staggered he took Braya out, put in Noah and

958
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: then brought the subs in and put Praya back in.

959
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: I'd rather see him take like Butler a way out.

960
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 2: Have Butler play with the reserves, right, But you can't

961
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: have Braya with the reserves because then no one can

962
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: defend and you just you can't do that. Two more,

963
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: Who's next, Trey?

964
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: Trey? Go ahead, Trey?

965
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 16: Hey, what's up?

966
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: Matt? What's going on?

967
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 16: Hey?

968
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 5: So I think you.

969
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 16: Are one calling it like bay Ruth Colin Chandler could be.

970
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 5: He could be.

971
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 16: He could be the golden ticket for this team come March,

972
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 16: because with Jackson Robinson going down, like you said, you

973
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 16: got to make up those points somewhere. And he has

974
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 16: really really gotten his game a lot better. It seems

975
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 16: like every game when we turn the when we turn

976
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 16: it on, he does something a little better and a

977
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 16: little better and a little better.

978
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: So he's he's the first guy that I've seen. Okay, So,

979
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: like I think Travis.

980
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: Perry and Trent Noah can have stretches where they really

981
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: help you a lot, hit some shots, you know. I

982
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: can see Trent Noah had that really great game against Tennessee.

983
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: Perry had a pretty good game against somebody the other night.

984
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was. But Chandler looks in

985
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: the last few games like a guy who can play

986
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 2: with these athletes and can guard them. And so if

987
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: he could get to the point he's been looked so

988
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: nervous on offense, like he didn't want to shoot and

989
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: he didn't want to dribble, if he can get to

990
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: the point that he's even shooting decently, or even if

991
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: he's not shooting decently, it's just not nervous. He helps

992
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: so much on defense that like, okay, now all of

993
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: a sudden, you got some And if he can get

994
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 2: to the point that he makes open threes, just that

995
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 2: sentence alone in Kentucky.

996
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: Because really difficult to guard. So that's what makes me

997
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: a little excited.

998
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 16: Well, and we're gonna need it off the bench and

999
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 16: you know a lot of people Matt forgid that you

1000
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 16: know he was a top recruit. Oh yeah, he did

1001
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 16: his fishing trip.

1002
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: And he is a great athlete. He is a great athlete.

1003
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: Uh like like he like he is.

1004
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: You watch him like during like dunk during warm ups

1005
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: and stuff. That dude is a great athlete. He just

1006
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: looks so scared for the first two thirds of the

1007
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: year and in the last three weeks he doesn't look scared.

1008
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: And that that you can't help but be kind of

1009
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: excited about that.

1010
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 16: So totally agree. Uh. Last thing this is this is

1011
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 16: a bit obscure, but with so many seniors on this

1012
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 16: team this year that have already probably graduated, what what

1013
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 16: do they do during the day? Is it just is

1014
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 16: it just kind of hang out?

1015
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: Well, they do have a class they have they have

1016
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: to take master's classes. Now I don't know how much

1017
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: class that is exactly, but they do. I mean a

1018
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 2: lot of these dudes sit around and play video games.

1019
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I mean I think that's

1020
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 2: a lot of nah And I appreciate the call we've had.

1021
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: You know, we've had teams over the years. You talk

1022
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: about a book you could write sort of like, what

1023
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: are these dudes like off the court? Cow's guys didn't

1024
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,479
Speaker 2: really get in trouble that much, but they're almost never

1025
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 2: but they had some dudes who liked to party and

1026
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 2: do I don't get the sense that this group, I mean,

1027
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't ever hear about this

1028
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 2: group doing anything, you know, so maybe because they're older, right,

1029
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: But I don't know, Like I don't even you know,

1030
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: almost every team that's been in Kentucky, you'll get like

1031
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: some picture of them somewhere, like at a bar. Not

1032
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 2: necessarily I'm doing bad, but like, look here this year

1033
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: about any of them. So maybe they're just like me, Billy,

1034
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: they're just all old men who uh maybe they sit

1035
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: and read like I do, or watch Breaking Bad.

1036
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: That's right.

1037
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 4: You're a freshman, you're eighteen nineteen. You want to go

1038
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 4: see the party. You want to say, it's very different.

1039
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very different. Eighteen and you're eighteen and nineteen

1040
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 2: is very different than twenty two and twenty three. And

1041
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: that's what these guys are. So uh uh, what we got?

00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 15: He ist up hard.

1053
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: Well.

1054
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 2: He did play well today. Yeah, he did play well today.

1055
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 2: I mean I thought I thought he looked. I thought

1056
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: this was a year he said. Two of his last

1057
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: three games.

1058
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: Have been uh, have been really good. You know.

1059
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: I don't think he played well against Aubourne. We played

1060
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: great against Oklahoma, and I thought he played great tonight.

1061
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 2: So uh, you know he I mean, we need him

1062
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: to be able to not like be a disaster when

1063
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 2: he came in. But the last two of the last

1064
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 2: three games, he's been better than a disaster. He's actually

1065
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 2: played very well.

1066
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 14: I thought, yes, absolutely, he's not a disaster. And now

1067
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 14: he's stepping up.

1068
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate the appreciate Okay, yeah.

1069
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:54,000

1070
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 14: I've been here for a minute, and when you got

1071
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 14: your credentials and the first time you got onto Reperena

1072
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 14: the ship, Yeah that.

1073
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: Was before I even had a show.

1074
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, crup and I was under the basket, and I

1075
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 14: saw you walking on the court and I saw you.

1076
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 14: You look like a twelve year old boy. You were

1077
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 14: smiling so big, and it was so much fun to

1078
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 14: see excel and get to where you are right now.

1079
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: That's very nice of you. Thank you.

1080
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 2: The first game I ever got credentialed was, and I

1081
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 2: appreciate the call, was Kentucky Louisville, and I want to

1082
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 2: say it was two thousand and seven, two thousand and six.

1083
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: Rondo was the point guard, and that was the first

1084
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 2: time I ever got a credential.

1085
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: And I can't remember very many times in my life.

1086
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: I was happier than that because I was, like, I

1087
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: honestly thought, I have a credential for the Kentucky Louisville game,

1088
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 2: like I made it. That's really all I need to do.

1089
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: Like I can stop now and go back. You know,

1090
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: I was still practicing law at the time. I can

1091
00:52:58,520 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 2: just go back to my legal job.

1092
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 3: He peaked.

1093
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: I did peak like I did peak. I remember, I

1094
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 2: was a huge fight to get credential. I was the

1095
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: first blogger to be credential in the entire sec. They

1096
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 2: would not the Dwayne Peebe was the was the sid

1097
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 2: here and and finally the SEC would not allow him

1098
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: to credential me, and then finally they said yes. In

1099
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: the first game I got to do, it was Kentucky Louisville,

1100
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 2: so nice memory by that guy. And I did look

1101
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: twelve years old, and I was chubby Billy that's bangs.

1102
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: I looked awful.

1103
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 5: You know.

1104
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: Well that picture that that circulates, that's not that's like

1105
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: that year. Oh yeah, it was that year because it

1106
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 2: was that was Tubby's last year, and then Billy was

1107
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: there the next year.

1108
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, good times. Well, interesting show tonight.

1109
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody staying up uh and listening. So let's go

1110
00:53:55,160 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 2: over some scheduling. Tomorrow is they the women start in

1111
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: the SEC tournament on Friday at two thirty. Don't know

1112
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 2: who they'll play yet, but the women's tournament actually starts

1113
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: tomorrow for the women's SEC Tournament, but Kentucky's got a

1114
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: double bye. They do not play until Friday. The men's

1115
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 2: team plays next at noon against Missouri on Saturday. The

1116
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 2: pregame show will be at nine to thirty AM, but

1117
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 2: that will be I'm sitting here, I just ran through

1118
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: these scenarios. It looks to me like if and Andy

1119
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 2: loses tonight, we are guaranteed the bye. If we beat

1120
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 2: Missouri and the results happen that you kind of think

1121
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 2: should happen. Now that A and M is gonna beat Auburn,

1122
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 2: we could get up to be the seven seed and

1123
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 2: be in the bottom.

1124
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: Half of the bracket and avoid Auburn. So the Missouri

1125
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: game's huge.

1126
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 2: Vandy loses tonight, we don't, We'll have a bye, and

1127
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 2: then if we beat we lose to Missouri where they eight.

1128
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 2: We beat Missouri with the seven and I think probably

1129
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 2: a top three seed in the NCAA tournament. Thank you,

1130
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 2: folks very much for listening. Thanks to Billy for hanging out.

1131
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: We will see you in the morning. This has been

1132
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,959
Speaker 2: the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postscape Show.
