Speaker 5: them pay. Ryan Lemon, we are here at the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 5: This is the what year of this? Do you think this.
Speaker 6: Is one hundred and fourteen?
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's just made up. I don't think
Speaker 4: that's the exact number. But this is uh a lot.
Speaker 5: It is the last high school basketball tournament in America
Speaker 5: with no no classes correct, there have never been uh,
Speaker 5: there's not another one. It was down to Kentucky and
Speaker 5: Indiana and then they gave in. They did, and this
Speaker 5: is the last one and it is still uh I
Speaker 5: would say the most special high school tournament in all
Speaker 5: the way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because every now and then you get a team
Speaker 6: like last year Lyon County, a small school from western Kentucky.
Speaker 4: We had Lyon County play Harlan County last.
Speaker 6: That's what makes it special. Was it fifteen years ago
Speaker 6: or so we had was it Shelby Valley came out
Speaker 6: out of the mountains and then won the term. That's
Speaker 6: what it makes it special, and these communities get behind
Speaker 6: these teams and it fills up with their students.
Speaker 4: It's awesome.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 5: And there's a lot of teams here who've not been
Speaker 5: here in a long time this year, including one that's
Speaker 5: coming down right now right a Dare County. I saw,
Speaker 5: you know, the favorite the tournament. Saint X hasn't played
Speaker 5: here since nineteen ninety five. They're not exactly a you know,
Speaker 5: lovable bunch of losers at Saint X at one of
Speaker 5: the maybe the richest school in the state, but they
Speaker 5: haven't been here since nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you think of sex such a powerhouse in all sports.
Speaker 6: For them that I got the pageant that was the
Speaker 6: last team that was on they came here.
Speaker 4: Well, I think so that would probably be right.
Speaker 5: I think that was Scott because I think Scott Patget
Speaker 5: was one year older than me. I think the last
Speaker 5: time Saint X was here, a young whipper Snappers named
Speaker 5: Scott Paget was here.
Speaker 7: I have a feeling they're gonna be here for a
Speaker 7: while because they absolutely dominated the regular season all the
Speaker 7: way to getting here. They're they're the favorite, and I
Speaker 7: looked up it looks like nineteen eighteen was the first year.
Speaker 7: So Ryan, I don't know what you're you're gay.
Speaker 4: They probably are interrupted only seven years off there. They
Speaker 4: probably interrupted a few times for.
Speaker 6: The war, probably uh COVID, probably.
Speaker 5: You or a couple of them. But uh, you know,
Speaker 5: besides that, this thing keeps rolling and.
Speaker 6: We are here.
Speaker 5: So it's either close to the one hundredth anniversary or
Speaker 5: just after it, don't you think.
Speaker 6: Or they call it the greatest show in hoops. I
Speaker 6: think that was their. It was their that was their
Speaker 6: logo bumbo for a while. I don't think it stuck,
Speaker 6: but it was. It was called the greatest show hoops.
Speaker 4: That's not even a good name.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 4: It doesn't rhyme.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's why did they I don't know they tried.
Speaker 4: They called it that, Shannon, or do you think Ryan
Speaker 4: just made it?
Speaker 3: I think Ryan just made it up.
Speaker 5: I think you just made that up. I do not believe.
Speaker 5: If someone could show me something where they called it
Speaker 5: the greatest show on hoops, I'll believe it. But I
Speaker 5: don't think I do.
Speaker 4: Wait, bit you haven't.
Speaker 7: There's a story ten years ago on the KHSA website
Speaker 7: about the greatest show in hoops.
Speaker 6: They tried, they tried to get it going and it
Speaker 6: just never caught on.
Speaker 5: Oh I wonder why five nine, two, eight, oh, twenty
Speaker 5: two eighty seven. So we're gonna be here today. Uh,
Speaker 5: in the second hour or the show, there'll be a
Speaker 5: game going on. Yes, Bowling Green and Adair County. Yes,
Speaker 5: Adair County is who we are for, because not because
Speaker 5: I have anything against Bowling Green, but they ate at
Speaker 5: the bar.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you eat at.
Speaker 5: The bar and you buy food, I'm for you. So
Speaker 5: the Adair County, Uh, what are they?
Speaker 6: The Indians in Indians?
Speaker 4: So they haven't they haven't updated.
Speaker 6: Later today, Caspar, we're gonna host Henderson and Great Crossing,
Speaker 6: all right, we gonna we support them also.
Speaker 5: So they all play tomorrow of course, Henderson County. Well,
Speaker 5: we'll go through the braw. I got plenty of bracket
Speaker 5: and now, okay, great I've been spending a lot of.
Speaker 6: Time you breaking down the high school.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, there's a lot of film the study
Speaker 5: that I've been doing, and we will do that over
Speaker 5: the course today. We're gonna make our picks. I've got
Speaker 5: the bracket right in front of me, and we'll do it.
Speaker 5: I love this and we you know, this is like
Speaker 5: your favorite thing. If we weren't on the road with Kentucky,
Speaker 5: I'd be here every single time, like I.
Speaker 4: Still can we don't play it on Friday.
Speaker 6: I'd be like me, mall, who's come here for what
Speaker 6: fifty something years? And you mentioned your friend Duncan Cavanall
Speaker 6: here he Dug Kavanaugh and his.
Speaker 5: Dad are on the way. They've been here. They've been
Speaker 5: coming here since as long as I've known him. Uh Corey,
Speaker 5: mister Sayer and Anderson County.
Speaker 4: It's always here as soon as he gets out of school.
Speaker 5: So this is you know, for there are a lot
Speaker 5: of families and and sort of it's that that have
Speaker 5: come year after year.
Speaker 7: I really like coming here, but usually the Kentucky's tournament
Speaker 7: run gets.
Speaker 4: In the way.
Speaker 7: Yeah, last year, I didn't want to leave the tournament early,
Speaker 7: but I was able to be here to watch Lyon
Speaker 7: Counties running that final game.
Speaker 4: So I like that. We're in India on Friday and
Speaker 4: get a chance to a couple of days of this.
Speaker 5: And you just love it because it's like it's I've
Speaker 5: said this before. This is where Ryan Lemon is the
Speaker 5: most popular. You know, I used to say that there
Speaker 5: are two places where Ryan Lemon gets the most props.
Speaker 5: Any place in Lexington where there is a large group
Speaker 5: of black people getting together. The mayor of Black Lexington,
Speaker 5: Ryan Lemon, it's looking at Mario's.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you from his days in w L a A.
Speaker 5: What is the name of the social group that gets together.
Speaker 5: They get together at our bar sometimes or at a
Speaker 5: Harper Hall sometimes. You know what I'm talking about. It's
Speaker 5: like the older professional African Americans.
Speaker 6: Oh, I know you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Anyway, if he went there, he could be pressed. I
Speaker 4: mean people, they people love righting.
Speaker 5: And then the second thing is here, like at the
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen, there's all these like drew older reporters from
Speaker 5: all these small towns and for them, Ryan LeMond is like,
Speaker 5: I'm serious, it's like it's like going to a MAGA
Speaker 5: rally with Trump.
Speaker 4: Wow. I mean he's like that. It is they wear hats.
Speaker 5: Make Matt Jones be nice to ride again like that.
Speaker 4: He is the king at this place.
Speaker 7: It is impossible to walk in with him and you know,
Speaker 7: keep it pace because he stops and shakes every hand.
Speaker 7: Hasn't seen everyone since the last week's six.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know everybody's name. You're like, oh, there's
Speaker 5: from Barberville.
Speaker 4: All look at all. How you doing? Rick? What's happening
Speaker 4: down there? And he starts pointing like this is this
Speaker 4: is your thing.
Speaker 6: I did already have a little conversation with mister Jullian Tacket, Sir,
Speaker 6: so scared, came in.
Speaker 4: So scared to Julia attack. Where is Julia Taga?
Speaker 6: He's walking around, he's got a suit on, he's looking
Speaker 6: dapper today.
Speaker 4: And you you are scared to death of that. Man.
Speaker 5: Im and Jim hosts come together. It's like the natural
Speaker 5: disasters earthquake and typhoon when they get around you.
Speaker 6: I'm hoping they come in and sit together so I
Speaker 6: get my picture, take it in two of them.
Speaker 4: You need to.
Speaker 5: But you you do love this. You love it, and
Speaker 5: I make fun of you. But I always think it's neat.
Speaker 5: You know, all these like small town radio stations that
Speaker 5: do their broadcast from here, they're all set up.
Speaker 4: I always think that's cool too.
Speaker 6: Well, it's kind of a lost art where you know,
Speaker 6: here in Lexington, we don't have we don't carry high
Speaker 6: school games, lotul they don't carr high school games. But
Speaker 6: in the small communities. The local radio station still carries
Speaker 6: their high school football in high school.
Speaker 4: I think they're not carry the high school games.
Speaker 6: I don't know WLAP will start. We used to do it.
Speaker 4: Why don't you make it happen? Yeah, I mean, like
Speaker 4: you could pick a team, you could do all the teams, you.
Speaker 6: Picked the game of the week, game of the night.
Speaker 5: Well, that one time many years ago, uh like tried
Speaker 5: to get a on Friday night a game of the
Speaker 5: week in the state, like making a stay. I even
Speaker 5: offered to back when I would work way too much
Speaker 5: that I would go and like we'd pick one and
Speaker 5: it would be like a thing, right and it would
Speaker 5: be broadcast all over the state and create a network.
Speaker 5: And there was some movement on it, and then it
Speaker 5: just didn't happen. But but I think it would be cool.
Speaker 6: I think if like just using like the four of
Speaker 6: us right here, well even Billy, we go through a
Speaker 6: couple of games a year, Bill, this guy, all the
Speaker 6: radio experience, Billy.
Speaker 5: Even Billy, Like this is such a good idea. We
Speaker 5: could even clinclude Billy Shinn. And that was kind of
Speaker 5: rude to Billy.
Speaker 3: Don't you some respect on Billy's name?
Speaker 6: What are you doing.
Speaker 4: We could even have Billy to be part of it.
Speaker 6: Because he's done play by play, he's done color commentary,
Speaker 6: he's got some experience behind the mic doing doing games.
Speaker 6: So I would love it, actually, And now that Josey
Speaker 6: was about to graduate, I've got some more free time.
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll look into doing it now.
Speaker 5: You should actually think, I cannot think of a thing
Speaker 5: that would be better for you than on Friday nights
Speaker 5: doing a high school back. Like, I think it would
Speaker 5: be good for your soul because you're gonna when your
Speaker 5: kids leave you act like this is gonna be nothing.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be sad.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be devastating.
Speaker 4: I mean, and he's just going across the street.
Speaker 5: He's staying in Lexington and it's still gonna be So
Speaker 5: that would give you something to do so you don't
Speaker 5: sit there and just you know.
Speaker 6: But I would like to go to the small communities,
Speaker 6: like do a game at Middlesborough, or do a game
Speaker 6: in Bria.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: The game of the week, Game of the week, Game
Speaker 6: of the week.
Speaker 7: When Ryan did TV in Evansville, I was young, I'd
Speaker 7: watch him with my dad and it would be a
Speaker 7: big deal. When Ron Lemon came to it didn't happen often,
Speaker 7: but if he was in Madisonville.
Speaker 5: Here, Lance Wilkerson, I think, I definitely think you should
Speaker 5: do it. I would also say, from the early looks
Speaker 5: of the crowd, hey, Bowling Green, you better get here
Speaker 5: because the Dare County crowd is going too far outweigh
Speaker 5: the Bowling Green crowds. It's so far from Bowling Green.
Speaker 5: I see two women, two purples. Bully Greens is a
Speaker 5: big city where is everybody.
Speaker 6: Well for like a Dare County that they never come here,
Speaker 6: So I it'd such a big deal. The whole school
Speaker 6: will come, you know, the whole community will come. Bowling Green.
Speaker 4: Eh.
Speaker 6: You know, they wont the state football title in December,
Speaker 6: so you.
Speaker 5: Don't think they're gonna show up at all. Im here frequently.
Speaker 5: There literally are two women and that's it that are
Speaker 5: over there. Well eighty seven. I think we've created a
Speaker 5: new broadcast here. I think so while we're doing it,
Speaker 5: we will be picking the games. Cats involves are two
Speaker 5: days away. You know, I told myself, look, if we
Speaker 5: get second week in, you know, then whatever, And then
Speaker 5: of course we end up drawing Tennessee, which makes it
Speaker 5: a little bit different. Are you starting to get nervous yet,
Speaker 5: Drew like you're starting to feel the cat's Vall's action.
Speaker 7: I thought I would be nervous, it's actually going the
Speaker 7: other way. I'm getting more and more confident of there.
Speaker 7: You know, been writing some previews for the website and
Speaker 7: just writing about the recent games as a reminder that
Speaker 7: Kentucky's had Tennessee's number. I wrote last night, they've Tennessee
Speaker 7: has been the favorite five times in the last three seasons.
Speaker 7: And not only did Kentucky cover, they won all five
Speaker 7: games straight up. Wow, and they covered the spread by
Speaker 7: combined seventy five points. So Vegas has been way off
Speaker 7: on these games, and they've made Tennessee the favorite again.
Speaker 7: And I, you know, just taking back to the last
Speaker 7: couple of seasons, I'm ready to see Kentucky do it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not as confident as you are that
Speaker 5: we're gonna win.
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I just feel like, I feel like Tennessee's better than us,
Speaker 5: And are you gonna beat a team that's better than
Speaker 5: you three times in a year?
Speaker 6: Well, I tell you what scares me. Sekaia Zigler and
Speaker 6: chas La Nier. I don't think they can shoot horribly
Speaker 6: three games in a row against US. They shot horrible
Speaker 6: their first two games. It scares me. They're both probably
Speaker 6: due for a big game against US at the Since.
Speaker 5: You saw that arena, I mean, it's not gonna be
Speaker 5: a shooter's arena like they're playing it in the Dome.
Speaker 4: I saw, we saw a picture of it yesterday.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be that thing where you know they don't
Speaker 5: have great shooting backgrounds. The Final four is always played
Speaker 5: in something like that, but the regionals this is the
Speaker 5: only one played in a building like that. You think
Speaker 5: that makes any difference at all.
Speaker 7: Devin Booker tweeted about it, and he said stop playing
Speaker 7: basketball in football stadiums or something like that, and were
Speaker 7: responsor to the Lucas Oil picture.
Speaker 5: Really, I mean, I he's right. They're not gonna stop though.
Speaker 5: But but normally you don't have the regionals there. But
Speaker 5: they do this thing where whoever gets the Final four
Speaker 5: next year gets a regional the year before to get
Speaker 5: ready for it.
Speaker 6: It's tough, I mean, and shooters will tell you it is.
Speaker 6: It's it's different when you're out there in a big
Speaker 6: dome like that, that background, it just it throws you off.
Speaker 6: So hopefully they can get up enough shots to feel
Speaker 6: little comfortable.
Speaker 4: Who wins if neither team is shooting threes? Well kind
Speaker 4: of need Kentucky to knock out again.
Speaker 6: You just wave Inn Clark, who's Leanne Klark. She works
Speaker 6: for w L Stats, do all the stats for.
Speaker 5: I mean you say that though, like, but yeah, I
Speaker 5: mean that was a two handed wave to Lea Clark,
Speaker 5: who Now they're pointing at each other, and now the
Speaker 5: guy next to him's pointing like it's just like you
Speaker 5: what you and the at this place. It's the most
Speaker 5: amazing thing I've ever seen. You know, all of these people.
Speaker 6: You might say, it's my super Bowl.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's play a game. Who's this guy right here
Speaker 5: in the blue jacket with a pink shirt walking this way?
Speaker 4: I feel like, you.
Speaker 6: Know he's I don't know his name, he's an Adair
Speaker 6: County radio guy.
Speaker 4: You see, just the fact that you know that is unbelievable.
Speaker 6: You know, the Adair County radio I'm embarrassed. I can't
Speaker 6: think of his name.
Speaker 5: I'man Why would you be embarrassed the fact that you
Speaker 5: know the profession is unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could have gotten County. He's well dressed for
Speaker 4: the Adair County Radio.
Speaker 6: Big deal for a Dare County. Absolutely need to.
Speaker 5: Get your security five died two eighth twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 5: The text machine is seven to seven two seven zaid
Speaker 5: before five two five be four. We are here at
Speaker 5: the Sweet sixteen. You can watch all the Sweet sixteen
Speaker 5: games on what's the name of the thing.
Speaker 4: Prep Spin, Prep Spin.
Speaker 5: We're gonna have him at the bar as well, so
Speaker 5: if you want to come watch at the bar, you can.
Speaker 5: You can come here and watch, or you can get
Speaker 5: them on Prep Spin. There's no reason for you to
Speaker 5: miss the Sweetest of sixteen. We'll take a break and
Speaker 5: be right back to Scancer.
Speaker 4: Welcome back in.
Speaker 5: Kentucky Sports Radio, Adare County and Bowling Green coming. We
Speaker 5: I already have some corrections. Okay, this is what happens
Speaker 5: when we talk about something we do not know. Which
Speaker 5: is most thus to be honest.
Speaker 6: Fact is option.
Speaker 4: Adare County made the Sweet sixteen last year. They did so.
Speaker 5: This has not been a long time since they've been here.
Speaker 5: They were here last year. Scott Paget was not on
Speaker 5: the nineteen ninety five teen. He had graduated the year before,
Speaker 5: so and it was called the greatest show in hoops
Speaker 5: for fourteen years.
Speaker 4: We're right about Ryan Bennison.
Speaker 5: Ever, hear though, we didn't get that part then, and
Speaker 5: so I mean, if you want, you could just take
Speaker 5: the first segment and just assume it's all false, right,
Speaker 5: and then and then go from there. And now it
Speaker 5: looks like the Sweet sixteen This year is is sponsored
Speaker 5: by Beef, it says the Kentucky Beef Council. Looks to
Speaker 5: be from what I can tell, along with UK Healthcare
Speaker 5: the primary sponsors.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Beef's got some signage in both end zones, so
Speaker 6: they're definitely a big sponsor this year.
Speaker 4: You know, we had a wrestler in OVW named Beef.
Speaker 6: Whatever happened to the big dude, the big seven foot guy,
Speaker 6: wrestler guy, the monster guy you guys are talking about.
Speaker 3: He's still there.
Speaker 4: He's still there. He's still there, manage. Yes.
Speaker 5: By the way, cash Flow a little update got promoted
Speaker 5: to season regular on Telsea King. He will be in
Speaker 5: the rather than a guest star. He will be in
Speaker 5: the opening credit. So congrats to cash Flow.
Speaker 7: That way, I saw the little story written a preview
Speaker 7: and he kind of wrote about how he's got a
Speaker 7: bigger role. I just think that's the beginning of a
Speaker 7: big Hollywood run for cash flow.
Speaker 4: A leading man.
Speaker 5: He is gonna being a Netflix Hallmark movie with I
Speaker 5: don't know, with Jessica Beale, and it's gonna be it's
Speaker 5: gonna be wonderful. I don't know if I watched that
Speaker 5: one romantic if I'm nine twenty two eighty seven, one
Speaker 5: person rights Matt, wouldn't it be the case that both
Speaker 5: teams would shoot poorly in a in a in a dome. Correct,
Speaker 5: That's what I'm asking, though we didn't really get we
Speaker 5: got sidetracked. Who has a better chance of winning if
Speaker 5: neither team can hit threes?
Speaker 4: That's a great question, Tennessee.
Speaker 7: But I trust you know they're not a good shooting team.
Speaker 7: And if it's a it's a bad gym for it.
Speaker 7: I trust Kobe Bray to at least adjust and figure
Speaker 7: it out a little bit, being such an elite shooter.
Speaker 7: So I'm still hopeful Kentucky will be able to knock
Speaker 7: him down. But Tennessee has been truly awful in the
Speaker 7: Kentucky games. Wild they shoot like sixteen percent they al
Speaker 7: even going back to last year, Ziggler had one good
Speaker 7: game in like three years.
Speaker 4: I think he said one good game against them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that one game in Knoxby. He's one for eleven
Speaker 6: for threes. I think Lanier was like, what three for
Speaker 6: fifteen or something. They both shot horrible. That's a tough
Speaker 6: question you ask. So I'm thinking who's got the better
Speaker 6: maybe inside game of the way, the game's gonna be
Speaker 6: one of the paint Do you give a Mari and
Speaker 6: Carr the edge? Maybe a little bit?
Speaker 4: Maybe, Yeah.
Speaker 5: So a couple of little updates Weed to Bix, which
Speaker 5: we talked about yesterday. Weed to Bix was the number
Speaker 5: one selling cold cereal in America for a while yesterday.
Speaker 6: Close my well, no, we shouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 4: Really, I'm a little surprised.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, I you know, we do crazy stuff,
Speaker 5: but just buying a British cereal in bulk is one
Speaker 5: of the crazier things we've ever done, I think. I mean,
Speaker 5: it goes up there with the Uni brow and like,
Speaker 5: like it's up there. I mean we bought we were
Speaker 5: for a while, America sold more Weed to Bix than frosted.
Speaker 4: Flakes and cheery.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just want you to think about that
Speaker 5: for a minute, like we are crazy, but it is
Speaker 5: kind of awesome.
Speaker 7: And I just think it's another example of this fan
Speaker 7: base being back this season. Yes, going all the way
Speaker 7: back to that April here in Roparina when Pope had
Speaker 7: the press conference, Kentucky fans have just been at their
Speaker 7: best this season. The home games have been awesome. Now
Speaker 7: we're latching on to something a player eats. I mean,
Speaker 7: it'd be one thing if someone said they eat McDonald's
Speaker 7: before every game. We all just started eat McDonald's. But
Speaker 7: this is a British cereal.
Speaker 5: The British wheat cereal that pretty much everyone acknowledges is terrible.
Speaker 7: Not one person has had anything good to say about.
Speaker 5: And yet I'm still not seen. I'm still not gotten one.
Speaker 5: I I want one.
Speaker 6: I thought they'd bring a bunch of the restaurant.
Speaker 5: Yes, somebody apparently brought one with show is over, so
Speaker 5: we we we don't.
Speaker 4: We don't have something.
Speaker 6: We're gonna try it tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, I'm gonna try it tomorrow.
Speaker 7: I think I will say I didn't like Mark Pope
Speaker 7: on Monday Night his name for the for this whole phenomenon.
Speaker 7: He asked for suggestions, but he called it the actually
Speaker 7: wrote it down, the Kentucky weed de Bick's Unity.
Speaker 5: March towards March Madness. Yeah, I gotta work on that.
Speaker 5: Mark Pope has a lot of uh has a lot
Speaker 5: of wonderful qualities, but but he's a huge door and
Speaker 5: so like when it comes to naming things. What was
Speaker 5: it again, he said, the.
Speaker 7: Kentucky weeda Bick's Unity March towards March Madness.
Speaker 4: That's what he said. He's called He should not be
Speaker 4: in charge of slogans.
Speaker 5: You can't have the same word in there twice, the
Speaker 5: Unity March for March Maddness.
Speaker 7: Credit, he did ask for help. I think he's gonna
Speaker 7: need a little bit of progress.
Speaker 4: Yeah. It has been wild to see everyone ordering it. Though.
Speaker 5: Last night I was the guest on Field of sixty eight,
Speaker 5: which is the nightly college basketball show. Yes, and I
Speaker 5: was on there to talk about UK basketball. They left
Speaker 5: me on there for about thirty minutes. You can watch
Speaker 5: it on their YouTube page or on Twitter. Field of
Speaker 5: sixty eight But it was really good. It was Rob Doster,
Speaker 5: Jeff Goodman, and Tyler Hansborough was on there as well,
Speaker 5: and it was quite a conversation. I never thought I
Speaker 5: would be talking with Tyler Hansborough.
Speaker 6: Well, you and your new bromance with Jeff Goodman. You
Speaker 6: guys are tight now it's got a bromance.
Speaker 5: We were friends before cow it's just after a fifteen
Speaker 5: year hiatus we became friendly again.
Speaker 6: That podcast they do every night recapping the games has
Speaker 6: only become a big phenomenon.
Speaker 4: Drew and Mario told me they stayed up and watched.
Speaker 4: Uh did you.
Speaker 6: I didn't know you were on it, but I will.
Speaker 6: I will watch it probably tonight. I will watch it.
Speaker 4: You will watch it.
Speaker 6: It very I think it's very good. Okay, when they
Speaker 6: do it.
Speaker 4: So you'll watch it. You can report back. And I went, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6: You in your you do it from your living room.
Speaker 4: I guess I did it from my kitchen.
Speaker 6: Your kitchen.
Speaker 5: I thought it was interesting. Jeff Goodman just sits in
Speaker 5: front of his stove. Did you notice that too. I
Speaker 5: was actually trying to look closely. I didn't know if
Speaker 5: that was like a generic background where you just had
Speaker 5: a kitchen behind him. But no, yeah, no, I mean
Speaker 5: I was sitting like I had the camera late on
Speaker 5: the kitchen counter looking back at my dining room. But
Speaker 5: he was sitting in front of a stove as like
Speaker 5: his background, which I thought was a really odd thing
Speaker 5: to do that.
Speaker 4: And uh, Tyler hans were always very nice.
Speaker 7: You h he has like an old school gaming headset,
Speaker 7: so he was like much louder and like doing some heavy,
Speaker 7: heavy breathing in the microphone.
Speaker 4: But it was overall, it was a good Internet.
Speaker 5: It was a little bit like Shannon being with Ryan
Speaker 5: when he just starts panting into the microphone. Yeah, there
Speaker 5: was a little bit of that with Tyler Hansborough last night. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what announcements are these people making? Like he's been talking
Speaker 5: for ten straight minutes. What could that guy be saying?
Speaker 5: The sponsor who's like the greatest showing hoops needs his moment.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, who's up first?
Speaker 3: Shit, we'll start with Roger.
Speaker 4: Roger, go ahead, Roger.
Speaker 8: Yes. The only question I had is anybody checked the
Speaker 8: win lost record non SEC versus SDC and the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 5: Well, you mean just the teams that are in the
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen playing against each other?
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, I mean they haven't been there.
Speaker 5: Probably haven't been that many games non conference where they
Speaker 5: played each other.
Speaker 4: Obviously, we beat Duke, so there's one.
Speaker 5: But I mean Auburn lost to Duke, Arizona loss to Duke.
Speaker 5: So I mean you'd have to you'd have to look
Speaker 5: at it for us if you take non conference. I
Speaker 5: think the only we played that still left his Duke,
Speaker 5: So I guess we're one to oh true.
Speaker 8: Talking about the yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5: But but if you're just talking about non conference games
Speaker 5: in general, the SEC absolutely dominated On that show last night.
Speaker 4: They were saying what.
Speaker 5: Does the SEC need to do to be the best
Speaker 5: conference ever? And they were like, get two teams in
Speaker 5: the final four, and they have a real legitimate because
Speaker 5: they already have the record for most teams in the tournament.
Speaker 5: They now have the record for most teams in the
Speaker 5: sweet sixteen. You know you're getting close as it is.
Speaker 7: I think we have a lot in the Elite eight.
Speaker 7: I liked last night on Field of sixty eight. I
Speaker 7: think it was your best moment. Tyler Hansbrough kind of
Speaker 7: tried to dunk on you about Clemson winning and how
Speaker 7: ACC did well in that game, and then you reminded
Speaker 7: him it was fourteen.
Speaker 4: And two for the entire fourteen and two ACC series. Okay,
Speaker 4: dere Canny already has an awesome roster.
Speaker 5: The guy in the front looks to be thirty seven
Speaker 5: and that kid in the back looks to be eleventh.
Speaker 7: Also got some kind of I like the the red,
Speaker 7: white and blue almost Harlem Globe trotter esque pants.
Speaker 4: There there's no way that kid's in high school. That
Speaker 4: kid is eleven. We'll be right. We'll tell you later.
Speaker 4: T J.
Speaker 3: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 2: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3: Here's not Jones.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you a really hard assignment, Shannon.
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to find a song about a Dare
Speaker 5: County or with something with a Dare in it. Okay,
Speaker 5: if you can, I'll be very impressed. But if there's
Speaker 5: either a song that was created in the Dare County
Speaker 5: the singer was from a Dare County, you just gotta
Speaker 5: have something to Dare County.
Speaker 4: Something Colombia.
Speaker 5: Uh you know that that since they're here, be easier
Speaker 5: for you to find.
Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken, isn't Shannon, a former a Dare
Speaker 4: County resident in Colombia.
Speaker 3: I did, that's right, I'm pulling for them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a couple of things here about we're at
Speaker 5: the sweet sixteen, just about the setup. But the Adare
Speaker 5: County has the widest run of ages I've ever seen
Speaker 5: on a basketball There is an eleven year old, there's
Speaker 5: a there's a there's a kid who looks like he's
Speaker 5: thirty seven and has a mortgage. I mean that, they literally,
Speaker 5: I think they took from the entire county. Uh, Shannon.
Speaker 5: I also have to tell you they just walked away.
Speaker 5: Ryan stole one of the people's here's hard line Internet.
Speaker 3: Yes, it doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 4: And they came over here.
Speaker 5: They were not happy, but they were like trying to
Speaker 5: act like it wasn't a big deal, but it was
Speaker 5: clear it was kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3: That's because we're on the air, but they're not going.
Speaker 5: To be on the air until later in the afternoon.
Speaker 5: I agree with you, but you could tell they were like,
Speaker 5: you know how, when somebody goes, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 5: But h And my view is if you say that
Speaker 5: clearly it is a big deal, you would have said
Speaker 5: it to begin with exactly we got a it's not
Speaker 5: a big deal.
Speaker 4: But about Ryan taking their internet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're doing the same X game at once.
Speaker 5: You weren't supposed to say who it was, like we
Speaker 5: were this was I mean, what is it with?
Speaker 3: Like Cleon was exactly.
Speaker 4: Clear that I didn't want to say who it was.
Speaker 3: It was it was.
Speaker 2: But Ryan comes in and he owns that place, like
Speaker 2: you've already said, he does what he wants.
Speaker 5: That clear that I didn't want to say who it was.
Speaker 5: And then Ryan just goes, it's a Saint X radio people.
Speaker 6: I didn't say that, you just I said they're here
Speaker 6: to do the Saint X game. They could be Jeffersontown people.
Speaker 5: Oh you think you think people are just supposed to
Speaker 5: think it was the Jefferson Town people. I didn't say that, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: we're here to do the st X game.
Speaker 4: But you just assumed it was the other team. It
Speaker 4: could be that happened.
Speaker 6: It could be the radio who was it supposed to be?
Speaker 6: Could be the Aceland radio station coming and do the same.
Speaker 5: Do you think Ashland comes here to do the st xtgames?
Speaker 5: They drive all the way up here to do the
Speaker 5: st X games.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the next round one.
Speaker 5: You know what the people of Aceland want. They want
Speaker 5: the Saint x J Town game on the radio.
Speaker 6: There are some stations used to carry every single game.

Speaker 5: that does it.
Speaker 6: Gary Ball.

Speaker 5: me like Bowling Green is thirty or is twenty eight
Speaker 5: and six? Adare County's thirty and five?
Speaker 6: Who you got let me give you a little thirty
Speaker 6: seconds on each team fifteen. Bowling Green has the best
Speaker 6: athlete in the state of Kentucky.

Speaker 5: player I've never heard of on a Derek.
Speaker 6: County Connor Lloyd. Connor Lloyd, he leads the state and
Speaker 6: assists and he's got over three thousand.
Speaker 4: Points from succession.

Speaker 4: Connor Lloyd's he's.
Speaker 6: A superstar you've never heard of? He took a dere
Speaker 6: County here to this week sixteen last year got him
Speaker 6: back over three thousand points. He just doesn't get the
Speaker 6: exposure to get I don't know if he's committed anywhere.
Speaker 4: I mean, didn't you tell me somebody was going to
Speaker 4: Stony Brook.
Speaker 6: That's on Callaway County.

Speaker 4: What you Let's not forget the Burger King into the
Speaker 4: Burgo King in Kentucky is in is in the Dare

Speaker 7: Though they have the Burger King and uh Shannon's former home.
Speaker 7: I'm going with Deuce Bailey, Okay. So so it's Todd.
Speaker 4: Mario, he's gone, Mario split. Can I call out what
Speaker 4: just happened to me? I don't think you all noticed.
Speaker 7: A guy gave Ryan finger guns, gave Ran a big
Speaker 7: high five, stuck out his hand for me. When I
Speaker 7: went to shake his hand, he did the too slow
Speaker 7: and moop his hand.
Speaker 4: And walked away, telling you what is going on here?
Speaker 4: Ry this place? Ryan owns this place and he always will.
Speaker 5: Uh. Let's we got one more for the morning session
Speaker 5: before we go to the phones. Jefferson Town in st. X. Now,
Speaker 5: clearly st X people may not hear their broadcast because
Speaker 5: Ryan took away their radio equipment.
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm gonna take sat X, what about you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're the best team in the state at the
Speaker 6: only lost two games and both losses were out of
Speaker 6: state teams. They're undefeated in Kentucky. They've got the best
Speaker 6: freshman in the state. Josh Lindsey. The guy is a
Speaker 6: stud in the making.
Speaker 4: Josh Lindsey.
Speaker 6: Josh Lindsay. They got three good guards. Jeffersontown. Kind of
Speaker 6: eh social season.
Speaker 4: Eh, yeah, sweet sixteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of The sixth region wasn't very strong
Speaker 6: this year, so you know, so I'm going St.
Speaker 4: X in a route.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm impressed by the show prep over here, all right,
Speaker 6: st X by twenty Yeah, Jody.
Speaker 7: Every every every Monday on KSR we have the KSR
Speaker 7: Top twenty five and I write a little blurb about
Speaker 7: it in the morning post, and I feel like every
Speaker 7: Monday I wrote about how Saint X was number one
Speaker 7: again and won both games about thirty points.
Speaker 4: So gotta go with st X here, all right, Shandon.
Speaker 2: X, sat X wins and nobody's going to know about
Speaker 2: it and their internet.
Speaker 4: That's riot. Who's up next, Debbie, Debbie, go ahead.
Speaker 8: Debbie, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 9: I just wanted to get your take on which explosion
Speaker 9: the transfer portal being what it is and the smaller
Speaker 9: new major schools having to figure out a way to
Speaker 9: navigate that. You think that this could foster relationships between
Speaker 9: the coaches and the larger schools and the coaches of
Speaker 9: the smaller schools that have similar coaching philosophies and make
Speaker 9: them almost like feeding schools.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're going to be feeder schools.
Speaker 5: But there was an interesting article that came out this morning,
Speaker 5: Debbie on this which which basically said, under the new
Speaker 5: House settlement, that's going to come in April. Presumably most
Speaker 5: colleges are going to have three to four million dollars
Speaker 5: in the Power five schools to pay their players. But
Speaker 5: the point was the schools that don't have football, like Villanova,
Speaker 5: could use more of their settlement for basketball because they
Speaker 5: don't have to pay for football and might actually be helped.
Speaker 5: There was an argument that, hey, some of these mid
Speaker 5: majors might actually be able to offer more money, which
Speaker 5: was kind of an interesting thing. So I don't, Debbie,
Speaker 5: I appreciate the call. I don't know that we'll know,
Speaker 5: but I will say this, I think the hand ringing
Speaker 5: over this is completely ridiculous, This hand ringing of, oh,
Speaker 5: the mid majors are gonna be this, the mid majors
Speaker 5: are gonna be that.
Speaker 4: The mid majors have.
Speaker 5: Never won anything anyway, when's the last time a mid
Speaker 5: major won.
Speaker 4: A national championship? Geez never? I mean, it doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: Butler got there, But Butler got there.
Speaker 5: But they're in the Big East now, right Like, It's
Speaker 5: not like they're just these.
Speaker 4: Little children running around.
Speaker 5: Gonzaga is a power program that's just situated in a
Speaker 5: different conference. So the handrick, yes, will players from Drake
Speaker 5: go to another school.
Speaker 4: I keep using Drake.
Speaker 5: Yes, but so did Drake's coach right like Drake's coach
Speaker 5: went to Iowoad.
Speaker 4: Nobody seems to care about that.
Speaker 5: So why I just refuse to believe the idea that
Speaker 5: players shouldn't have the same right as coaches. Now, does
Speaker 5: it need to be structured? Yes, I think it is
Speaker 5: going to be structured. Everybody, just take a deep breath,
Speaker 5: give it a month or so. But Ryan, I just
Speaker 5: don't find it to be this awful thing that people
Speaker 5: act like.
Speaker 6: Do you think at some point they'll put a cap
Speaker 6: on how much each sport is allowed to receive out
Speaker 6: of this allotment or.
Speaker 5: No, each school will get to decide what they want
Speaker 5: a fund with what, and you know then there.
Speaker 4: Are gonna be people who give more through the outside people.
Speaker 5: Here was something interesting I read today. The judge meets
Speaker 5: I think on April ninth or something to decide whether
Speaker 5: to approve the settlement. It is expected that she will,
Speaker 5: but deals that occurred before that aren't counted in. Wow,
Speaker 5: So some people think these plays need to sign before
Speaker 5: April ninth to make sure they're not cap so that
Speaker 5: you're gonna see a lot of people sign really quick
Speaker 5: to make sure they're not cap drew by the settlement.
Speaker 7: I didn't consider that that makes sense to your point
Speaker 7: about like a Villanova. I've actually seen people saying someone
Speaker 7: at a better schools should consider leaving because Villanova will
Speaker 7: be able to put their entire budget into basketball and
Speaker 7: can make that better than a school that's got to split.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so all of this, like, I just refuse to
Speaker 5: be a gloom and doomer the Ultimately, here's what I
Speaker 5: would say to people. If you don't like the chaos
Speaker 5: of the portal, just ignore it and wait till the
Speaker 5: games start.
Speaker 4: Because when the game started this.
Speaker 5: Year, we all enjoyed it, right, yes, everyone, and it
Speaker 5: was the most enjoyable year we've had in a long time.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 5: So if you don't like the chaos right now, just
Speaker 5: tune it out. Come back in June. You'll know the
Speaker 5: roster and then go from there.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 5: I enjoyed the chaos. The chaos is fun to me.
Speaker 5: But if you don't like it, just ignore it and
Speaker 5: then wait till they get on the court.
Speaker 7: Yes, see what people love NBA free agency and just
Speaker 7: keeps the season going. I mean, if you want to
Speaker 7: get into the mud and see all this. It's just
Speaker 7: more to the sport. You can follow them, that's right.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I yesterday, and we'll talk about this
Speaker 5: in the second hour. I was sitting there reading about
Speaker 5: Robert Morris players. I would never do that otherwise. But
Speaker 5: if you don't want to do it, just don't and
Speaker 5: we'll have a roster and you can cheer on that one.
Speaker 6: And the chaos is even crazier for teams that are
Speaker 6: still playing right now.
Speaker 5: This now that are still they should wait and open
Speaker 5: the portal when the seasons are.
Speaker 4: I agree. I do agree that that was I don't
Speaker 4: know why they do that. BBN.
Speaker 5: Spring is sprung, and that means you're getting outside more,
Speaker 5: whether that's doing yard work or just staying active by
Speaker 5: biking or running.
Speaker 4: Court. Physical therapy can help at court.
Speaker 5: Our therapists know what it takes to help you heal
Speaker 5: and get back to the things you enjoy while also
Speaker 5: helping you prevent future injuries from happening. Over seventy locations statewide,
Speaker 5: it's court dot com. It's KRT dot com. So you
Speaker 5: got Deuce Bailey and what's the name of the kid
Speaker 5: on Honor Lloyd honor Lloyd Connor, Lloyd with his he's
Speaker 5: number fourteen, right, which one's fourteen?
Speaker 6: I think he's still got his shooting shirt on right now?
Speaker 4: I think, all right, well, good luck Connor.
Speaker 5: We'll take a break of your right back. This is KSR.
Speaker 5: All right, Shannon, So you're supposed to think of a
Speaker 5: song from a Dare County.
Speaker 4: This is it?
Speaker 3: Well he does. He just talked over it, but he
Speaker 3: mentions a darre Okay, try that again. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 4: I like it from eight there.
Speaker 3: That's Chris Knight and the song is Becky's Bible.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: I saw Chris Knight once in Louisville at the Palace,
Speaker 5: and I don't think he was sober when I saw it, but.
Speaker 4: It was still good and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: And we are here at the Sweet sixteen and Dare
Speaker 5: County and Bowling Green are about to play another thing
Speaker 5: about Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 4: I like Drew.
Speaker 5: Just saw a guy walk on press row in overalls.
Speaker 5: You don't see that at a lot of other events.
Speaker 5: Man's just in overalls on press row. I don't know
Speaker 5: who he covers, but he's doing his thing.
Speaker 4: I should have worn my overalls.
Speaker 7: What do you think the ill piper guy would have
Speaker 7: said about wearing overalls on.
Speaker 4: President's got professional piper name pipe bomb two eighty seven nights.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna put some pick two more games.
Speaker 5: South Oldham and dan Bult Christian south old Them twenty
Speaker 5: nine and five, Damnil Christian twenty nine and three, Damil
Speaker 5: Christian's first ever trip to the Sweet sixteenth.
Speaker 6: Demil Christian's got two their seven footers. They're transfers from
Speaker 6: Africa and uh, they've got a female African player that
Speaker 6: got to the Daniel Christian girls team in the state
Speaker 6: finals two years in a row. The guys here for
Speaker 6: the first time. Here's interesting about these tw guys? Let me
Speaker 6: take you interesting.
Speaker 4: Fund What are their names?
Speaker 6: I don't know?
Speaker 4: Okay, uh A good part.
Speaker 6: They're very athletic because they both grew up playing soccer
Speaker 6: and they want to be soccer players. But they won't
Speaker 6: let them because they're so big. They're six ten, six eleven.
Speaker 4: They won't let them.
Speaker 6: Like his family who around, they won't let him play soccery.
Speaker 6: I guess his his people.
Speaker 5: This is not like a high school where you banned dancing.
Speaker 5: This is not footloose. If they want to play they'll let
Speaker 5: him play soccer.
Speaker 6: I think it's a footloose situation.
Speaker 5: These two guys are the band from playing soccer. First
Speaker 5: of all, being tall is not even a helpful in soccer.
Speaker 6: Well, that's why they won't let him play.
Speaker 4: Who is they?
Speaker 6: Maybe his maybe his mom and dad, I don't know,
Speaker 6: maybe his coaches.
Speaker 5: See Shannon, he just gets a fact in his head
Speaker 5: and he never questions it, like they banned them from soccer.
Speaker 4: But who's they?
Speaker 3: I feel like they would let him play who I feel.
Speaker 6: Like you play basketball, made him play both play basketball.
Speaker 3: Made hims.
Speaker 4: Force them to play bass.
Speaker 6: You're too tall to play soccer, you gotta play basketball.
Speaker 5: I'm for these kids who are apparently held against their
Speaker 5: will at Dane Bull Christian and forced to play basketball.
Speaker 6: That they play south old them. That's Billy's alma monitor.
Speaker 6: That's okay, Yeah, he went to south Oldham.
Speaker 4: Where he was also forced to play back.
Speaker 5: Bad for these guys too, You made them into sympathetic figures.
Speaker 5: I just want to dance, dad, shut up, and play bass.
Speaker 6: All they want to do is go out and kick
Speaker 6: the soccer ball around a little bit.
Speaker 5: By the way, I don't believe this story at all,
Speaker 5: it's true. I do not believe these dudes are banned
Speaker 5: from playing soccer. I don't believe this.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 4: He did a lot of show BRep. I'm believing him.
Speaker 4: Two wins.
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick Daniel Christian.
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna pick danvil Christian and the poor
Speaker 5: kids who aren't allowed to play soccer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like Daniel's been recruiting a little bit.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go against Billy's alma mater here, all right, Chandon,
Speaker 7: who you guys.
Speaker 3: Is gonna pick?
Speaker 2: South oldh them until I heard that their players have
Speaker 2: been held hostage in the gym, So gave me whoever
Speaker 2: the Old team is?
Speaker 3: Damn All they.
Speaker 4: Want to do is play soccer, but no they're not
Speaker 4: allowed to.
Speaker 6: And when told them, beat south Old them twice this year,
Speaker 6: but in the third meeting in the region finals, south
Speaker 6: Old them beat him. Kind of what Kentucky's facing this room?
Speaker 4: No, that's not good, Mojo, Why are you telling us that?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 5: Then the final game tonight Ashland Blazer against Callaway County.
Speaker 5: As I said last night, Ashland is closer to Canada
Speaker 5: than they are to Callaway. You said, give us a
Speaker 5: quick which players are being held hostage in Ashland or
Speaker 5: Callaway County.
Speaker 6: Well, Ashland leads the state and wins this like they're
Speaker 6: seventh year in a row. They've been here, they're just.
Speaker 5: The Aceland has twenty three wins. Callaway has thirty one
Speaker 5: wins career.
Speaker 6: Okay, Ashland has the most career wins in any school
Speaker 6: in Kentucky. I don't even think it's close, all right,
Speaker 6: So they're here a lot. They've won many state titles.
Speaker 6: Calloway County's got two really good players, Jonah Butler, who's
Speaker 6: committed to Stony Brook stony Brook, and Eli Finley, who
Speaker 6: I've seen play since he was in middle school. He's
Speaker 6: really good.
Speaker 4: Also, where's he going? I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't think he's committed yet. Okay, but they got
Speaker 6: two really good players, all right, So you're picking Calloway County.
Speaker 4: I'm picking Ashland. Go Eastern Kentucky. I gotta go with
Speaker 4: West Kentucky and Callaway. But I cannot get over Ryan
Speaker 4: name dropping players on each team.
Speaker 7: I feel like a month ago you asked him who's
Speaker 7: good in the state and he didn't have an answer.
Speaker 5: Now, I mean, he still calls Kobe Bray and Bobby
Speaker 5: and Bray, you and Lamar Butler and Lamar. But yet
Speaker 5: he knows the kids on Calloway County are going to
Speaker 5: stony Brook.
Speaker 4: So we don't know any of this is accurate. Now
Speaker 4: he could say anything right now.
Speaker 5: He just convinced us that two dudes want to play
Speaker 5: soccer and are instead forced to play basketball.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's true either, Shandon, who.
Speaker 3: You got and they got a guy going to Stonybrook?
Speaker 3: I gotta go Calloway County in this one.
Speaker 5: How in the world does stony Brook, New York find
Speaker 5: a player in Calloway County. That's not a pipeline, that's
Speaker 5: a regular one. You can't even get, Like the Calloway
Speaker 5: County's like eight years from here.
Speaker 4: It is so far away.
Speaker 6: You know, these kids they play summer ball all over
Speaker 6: the country. Maybe that's where some got founded.
Speaker 4: All right, who's next, Shannon?
Speaker 3: Bluegrass?
Speaker 4: Blue Grass? How are you Bluegrass?
Speaker 10: I'm doing fine that you know. We're excited up there
Speaker 10: in the mountains this time of year. And my man,
Speaker 10: let me give you, let me give you a flowers,
Speaker 10: get quick. I listened to the sixty four and if
Speaker 10: anybody has a finger on the pulp of the fans
Speaker 10: at kentuscky hq man, I'm the breakdown, Thank you very much.
Speaker 8: But what I'm talking.
Speaker 10: About when I called in, we had the conversation if
Speaker 10: we were going to lose somebody, then it's probably alright
Speaker 10: to lose Jackson because of Brea to sit right in. Well,
Speaker 10: I think it's the mentality we have now we're getting
Speaker 10: hands in passing lane like we're switching. Our witching is
Speaker 10: so much better. I never thought I'll call you in
Speaker 10: and be talking about defense, Matt, But I'm liking what
Speaker 10: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we were playing better defense than
Speaker 5: we played all year, Drew, and.
Speaker 4: Hopefully it keeps up.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's necessarily I think it's just having
Speaker 5: now a consistent group of guys and really having Lamont
Speaker 5: Butler backs huge.
Speaker 7: Having Butler back is the biggest piece. You just see
Speaker 7: the difference he makes. But I also have to give
Speaker 7: Mark Pope credit because the defense flipped a switch after
Speaker 7: he ripped the locker room to Shreds and Oxford when
Speaker 7: they were not interested in playing any defense.
Speaker 4: At all.
Speaker 7: The analytics even say Kentucky's been a better defensive team than.
Speaker 4: Tennessee since that Old Miss game. That's amazing.
Speaker 7: So when he went that locker room and toured apart,
Speaker 7: I think it woke them up on that side.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, I think Adair County is just one
Speaker 5: big family from age eighty to six. Like there are
Speaker 5: more ages on this team than any team in the world.
Speaker 5: So that's what I'm taking there. All Right, We're gonna
Speaker 5: take a break and be back. When we come back,
Speaker 5: it will be a Dare County and bowling green national
Speaker 5: anthem is starting. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
