27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 4: one vers rights. Matt, this is my take on the

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 4: celebration last night in Lexington State Street, KS bar, et cetera. Yeah,

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: it was celebrating beating Duke. But I think more deeply,

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: it's a celebration of BBN having their program back the

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 4: way they want it, but still being able to win.

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: You agree with that, yep. I think that says a

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of what it is. We feel, like we said

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: it early, we got our program back, and that feeling

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: is back. That basketball means something to our coach, and

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: wins mean something to our coach, and we're gonna We're

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna play to win every single game.

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: I think if you ask Kentucky players, this is kind

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: of how they want to win too, or excuse me,

41
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 4: Kentucky fans, this is how they want to win with

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: guys like playing above themselves, playing as a team. You know,

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: I hope it stays like this throughout the Pope era.

44
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: I think it will. But you can really tell the

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 4: guys on this team are playing for the front and

46
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: that they always speech when it was over. Yeah, I

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: encourage all of you to go see it. Go find

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 4: Otega always comments after the game. He said, when you

49
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: put this jersey on, there's an honor to it, and

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: he says, it's up to you to match that honor.

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: That was a really cool thing to see.

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: That's that's it's neat to see a kid like say that,

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: but not just be giving it lip service.

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: It felt like he minted.

55
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, these kids, and you know probably all the sports

56
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 5: get media training. This is even though you know they're

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: speaking for themselves, there's also this is a little bit

58
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 5: of our messaging.

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel force at all.

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 5: They really believe it and are living being a part

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 5: of this and it being bigger than them.

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: Mark Pope.

63
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: Mark Pope said something rent interesting last night, and when

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: he said it get processed to me in a different way.

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: He said, everyone on this team, and this is probably

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: true with the exception of maybe Brandon Garrison because he

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: was so talented. He said, everyone on this team, no

68
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: one ever dreamed they'd play here.

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: It's like, if you.

70
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: Think about when they were in high school and college,

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 4: Kentucky was never really an option for any of these

72
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: guys that are playing. You know, maybe obviously for Travis Perry,

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: but for the guys that are in the rotation, they

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: never thought they would be here, and now they're here

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: and they really appreciate it, And I think that's cool.

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: It's a different era of one and done's we've got

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: right now. You know, we had the freshman one and dons.

00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Now we've got these.

79
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: They don't all have to be one and done. No, right,

Speaker 1: she could do it. Probably nobody would see her.

159
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: But somebody's got to take you gotta have visual proof,

160
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: need proof? Yeah, tasteful, but nevertheless we did. We didn't

161
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: need proof.

162
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: Well, there's a keyword in what you said. We want

163
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: to hear if she did it. We don't really need

164
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 5: to see if she did it. But we would like

165
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: to for yourself.

166
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: I mean, there has to be there has to be

167
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: visual evidence. You have to show anything, but you have

168
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: to like you.

169
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 5: Know, Shannon can hold it like your photo. He can

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 5: just be in charge of all these photos.

171
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: Shannon already has people's butts on his phone, probably a

172
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: lot that we don't know.

173
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: It is totally fine. Uh. If he has another.

174
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: I guess we could check the Harrison County police blotter

175
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to see if they arrested any streakers last night running

176
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: through town.

177
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: All right, they say, we're still breaking up, so let's

178
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: do this. Let's take a break, Let's see what we

179
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: can do about this.

180
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Sound good now, Well.

181
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: I'm still getting messages that we're breaking up. So either

182
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: way screaming though it might be a minute or two behind. Yeah,

183
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: might be you're exactly right. Maybe it is a movie, Shannon.

184
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: If Shannon says we're okay, we'll go eight five, nine,

185
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven.

186
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: Who's next?

187
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: Let's go to John?

188
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: John? Go ahead, John?

189
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 6: Hey, if though time's it going?

190
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: Doing good?

191
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 6: Hey? U first time?

192
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: Long time?

193
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 6: And I gotta say. Born and raised in Lexington, went

194
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 6: to UK, lifelong fan and I live in Atlanta now

195
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 6: when I went to the game last night, and I

196
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: just got a first and foremost, I gotta apologize and

197
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: ask for forgiveness from our Lord and savor Coach Pope.

198
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 6: I was not happy when he got hired, but then

199
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 6: we switched over and on a Sunday, gave my life

200
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: to him, repented, and now I mean, we are just

201
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 6: experiencing a camaraderie that I don't remember feeling as a

202
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 6: UK fan for a long time. We've obviously been super

203
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 6: excited with all the talent that we have and like

204
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 6: the players coming in, but at the stadiumast there was

205
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 6: just dislike we are banding arms together. And when Coach

206
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 6: Pope like turned to the crowd and put his fist

207
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 6: in the air, I mean, the place went crazy.

208
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: So you were at okay, So you were at the

209
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: game last night, and so do you go to a

210
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: lot of these games or is it like because I

211
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: am I'm interested in what you said, because I agree

212
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: with you. The BBN is unified in a way that

213
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: part of me wonders if you have to go back

214
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 4: to like twenty fifteen, because that lost to Wisconsin. I

215
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 4: do think broke some of our fan base and some

216
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: people just decided after that Cal couldn't coach, which I

217
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 4: didn't believe was true, but there were but there were

218
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: some that felt like that. Did you feel like there

219
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: was kind of a unified sense last night?

220
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, And you know, I was telling some of my

221
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 6: friends this after the game. You know, in years past,

222
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 6: if we're playing a big game, or even a game

223
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 6: where maybe we're just down, I think mentally we're kind

224
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 6: of going were uk, We're going to turn it on.

225
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 6: Our guys are gonna you know, be our guys, our studs,

226
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 6: and we're gonna win this game. Swaggy Cow's gonna do

227
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 6: swaggy things. And I think last night there was this

228
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: like we're really excited that we're in this, but do

229
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 6: we actually have this in us? Like do we actually

230
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 6: are we able to actually pull this off? And man,

231
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 6: I'll tell you it's like we're nine points down and

232
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 6: then we're six points down, and then we're three points down,

233
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 6: and then they go on another run in their back

234
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 6: up eight. But then we just kept on clawing back.

235
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 6: And I think as that happened, our our crowd just

236
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 6: started believing. And when always got that steal, I mean,

237
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 6: it was crazy.

238
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: That's awesome I appreciate the call. I do think that

239
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: they're you know, first of all, you could tell by

240
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: the second half, like we're really good. You know, part

241
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: of this was Drew. We just didn't know how good

242
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: we were. Like there was there was a sense of

243
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: with all these guys, I really have no idea whether

244
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: we're good. About midway through the second half, I was

245
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: able to go, you know what, we're good. Whether we

246
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: win or not, we're good. And then to win. You know,

247
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: why can't this team make the final four. I'm not

248
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: saying I'm not gonna act like we're a favorite to

249
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: make the final four. I don't believe that right now.

250
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: But why can't we We've got the pieces like the

251
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 4: oh maybe we'll get in the tournament. That's nonsense. Like

252
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: if we should be in the tournament, we got the

253
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: teams to do it.

254
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: Why not. Why can't we make a run? Yeah?

255
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: When Pope was hired, the early critics said, well, he's

256
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 5: never won a tournament game, and Arkansas fans still talking

257
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 5: about having a tournament game.

258
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: That's not what a tournament game.

259
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: It was a pretty big statement in being comfortable with

260
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: Pope in big games and what will eventually be tournament

261
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: games when we get there and gets.

262
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: A chance, we don't know how far he'll go.

263
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: But winning that game against one of the best teams

264
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 5: in college basketball told me they're gonna be all right

265
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: in the postseason.

266
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with.

267
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: And you know my concern going in the season, do

268
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: we have a guy who can go get a bucket

269
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 4: in a big moment, beat his man off the dribble.

270
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: Still have that concern, right, Still have that concern, Still

271
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: wonder about it. But it's nice to see us win

272
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: a game, even though we don't necessarily have that.

273
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: They always say, you know, the mark of a good

274
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: team is when you can win a game and you're

275
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: not playing your best. Kentucky didn't play their best last night,

276
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: and their best player had one point and they beat

277
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: one of the best team in college.

278
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: So let's talk about our best player just a second.

279
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: He only had one point.

280
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 2: Didn't look good, No, he didn't at really, at any

281
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: point in the game, didn't look good.

282
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: You just scratched that off as a one off and

283
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 4: say he's looked good every other game. He look good

284
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: at by you? That's not where it's one game or

285
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: are you are you work?

286
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my concern. I didn't think he looked

287
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: very hesitant, like he was not even looking for his shot,

288
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: didn't attack the basket like he was.

289
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: He did take that one three he did. They missed

290
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: it by lot.

291
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: He only took like four shots. I think he was

292
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: over for four.

293
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: Took that with three minutes to go where it was open,

294
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: and I you know he didn't he was open.

295
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: He had to take it. He took it.

296
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 5: If you were a freshman we've never seen before, I

297
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 5: would worry. But if you watch some of his BYU,

298
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: he saved them a few times. Their game at in Lawrence,

299
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 5: Kansas where they went in and beat Kansas in Fallallen,

300
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: he had a great game, hit a bunch of threes.

301
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: Just speculating maybe the Champions Classic. There were probably a

302
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: lot of NBA scouts there that aren't normally at BYU games.

303
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: He might have had a little bit in his head,

304
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 5: which is why he had that slow start. But I

305
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: think long term he'll be fine.

306
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: I feel like that too.

307
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if he was a freshman, I might be worried,

308
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: but I feel okay about it.

309
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 5: He's got a lot of tape at BYU have hitting

310
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 5: big shots even though he was their sixth man, he

311
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 5: did a lot of good and big games for them.

312
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's next, Let's David. How are you? David? Hey, David,

313
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: you gotta be happy, don't you.

314
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 7: I'm a Cloud nine baby good.

315
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad.

316
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 8: I was like to say this. I think last night

317
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 8: was Pope's went to Cal beating Yukon and Duke, I

318
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 8: mean Yukon in North Carolina in.

319
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 7: Two thousand and nine ten season and.

320
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 8: Petito and Patito beating Shack at LSU nineteen eighty nine total.

321
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

322
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: This is his, This is his I'm for real win.

323
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: Every coach kind of has it, you know. Uh you

324
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 4: mentioned Rick Patino's I'm for real win was beating Shaq

325
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 4: and Chris Jackson in RUP. With that, with that with

326
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: his first team. Tubby's kind of I'm for real win

327
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: is the comeback against Duke in the NCAA tournament.

328
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: I think it took a lot people a long.

329
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: Time to accept Tubby, but then when he came back

330
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: and won that game, he was good. Cal's was Yukon

331
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: and UNC and I completely agree with you. Pope's is

332
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: this game.

333
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, and He's gonna have a lot of a lot

334
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: more way that came from exactly. I think we're gonna

335
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 8: beat than n I think we might lose the Zagga,

336
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: but after seeing Clemson struggle with the East, I said

337
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 8: we could beat them at the week fight him.

338
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: Well, David, I appreciate it that.

339
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: The way I look at that Clemson Good Zaga back

340
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: to back is if we can win one of those two,

341
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: I'm thrilled. Two road games against good teams, top twenty

342
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: five teams. Let's get one of them. If we get

343
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: them both, that's awesome, but let's get one of them.

344
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: That would make this stretch two and one. Then go

345
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: beat Louisville, Ohio State. You could go into the non

346
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: conference with only one loss, which would be I thought

347
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: we might have three, Yeah, and you could go with one.

348
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: So Ryan, I'm I look at that week we're on

349
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: the road at Clemson and Good zag and go get one.

350
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: My perception of this team has changed after last night.

351
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: They are better than I thought they were even gonna

352
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: be there. You know, they showed up to the big

353
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: games and showed some grit. You know, they drank the

354
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: want of juice last night. They wanted it more than Duke,

355
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: and they showed me that with these senior leadership guys,

356
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: and for years.

357
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: We were kind of told that the game doesn't matter

358
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: and don't worry, we'll get there in March. But that's

359
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: a big win for the tournament. Resume that when you're

360
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: looking at seeding, you know, the top seed usually wins

361
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: instowly turn and they're gonna win the ACC. Yeah, they're

362
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: gonna win the AC. Statements change. Most likely we'll do

363
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 5: wonders for Kentucky seed line when we get to that point,

364
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: which we're all speculating what Pope can do there. That

365
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 5: Duke win will go a long way when they get

366
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: to that.

367
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: And by the way, winning does matter.

368
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: It's nice to have a coach who realizes winning matters

369
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: in these games. It masks this is not just about

370
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, it's not just about playing a game and

371
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: to get wait till March.

372
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: The beating Duke matters. It just does. And you can

373
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: feel that today.

374
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: Hey BBN, you wouldn't want to buy tickets to a

Speaker 4: of it.

387
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,800

389
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: all members of the seventy eighteen.

390
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: That's cool. They all signed it in seventy eight. Very cool.

391
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went through. It's got Jack Gibbons, Kyle Macy,

392
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Mike Phillips, got them all. Jay Scheidler, Chris Gettlefinger, Tim

Speaker 1: Stevens are all on there. James Lee.

394
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: Yes, great, great, great.

395
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: Cool piece of memorabilion. It is really cool.

396
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 4: One person writes, Matt If Kerkkrisa hits that fifty footer,

397
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: that's a one quite fifty foot would he be an

398
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: all time legend.

399
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: I mean if that had gone.

400
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: In, that's a shot like that enters the They put

401
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 4: that shot on at rupp Aerna like during the intro.

402
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: If that thing had gone in and then that's what

403
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: made us win. When he took it, I saw criticism

404
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: from the national guys online for him taking it. I

405
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 4: think he had to take it. There was only like

406
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: five seconds left in on the shot clock, so I

407
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: was okay with it.

408
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, shot clock was winding down and he'd hit one

409
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: a little closer than that. I mean it was pretty deep.

410
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: He already hit a deep one, so I had no

411
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: problem with him pulling the trigger on that.

412
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: I already thought about this. The shot wouldn't have made

413
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 5: him a hero. What he would have done after making

414
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: the shot, Yeah, no one knows what he would have done,

415
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 5: but it would have been a historic mocking of Duke.

416
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 5: I know there's a clip with like three minutes in

417
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: the game. He's on TV and he's playing with his

418
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: mustache at the guy bringing the ball up the court.

419
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: So we know there were so many antics that we

420
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 5: don't even know about, and he would have been unbearable

421
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: if he had made that.

422
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: One person rights, Matt, Do you think Duke is an

423
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 4: all time hateable Duke Team? No, not necessarily, I mean

424
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 4: I don't. I think Cooper Flag is good enough that

425
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 4: you just kind of shake his hand and say, he

426
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: doesn't look like a trash talker. I mean, what's amazing,

427
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 4: only seventeen years old. I mean that he's I mean,

428
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: he's seventeen.

429
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 6: Now.

430
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: I will say the one dude nipple I think is

431
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: gonna be easy to dislike. First of all, he looks

432
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: like a thirty five year old right now.

433
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: He does. But he's also good.

434
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: But no, I think if you go back, if you like,

435
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: go back to my duke haterble list, it's usually because

436
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: they either were were jerks, or like they complained, or

437
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: they weren't as good as people act like.

438
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: I don't really think any of that's true about those guys.

439
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of reality check too. For Cooper Flag,

440
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, he had the ball in his hands two

441
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: times down the floor and turned it over both times.

442
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: They're late in the game, not to take up for him,

443
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: but he did have twenty six points, and so like,

444
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

445
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 4: I mean, there's gonna be a lot made of the

446
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 4: fact he turned it over twice. One of them was

447
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: a steel and then he slipped the other time. He

448
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: still had twenty six. He's good, you know, he's definitely

449
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 4: do twelve or three seventeen years old.

450
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, he's he'll get even better. I think

451
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 5: he's gonna be the Unicorn, and they've been talking about

452
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 5: coming into college basketball. We were fortunate we saw him

453
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: on November twelfth and in March.

454
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.

455
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: What did you think of What did you think of

456
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 4: the whole atmosphere? They've renewed the Champions Classic. Some people

457
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: online were saying, you know, these games on neutral courts,

458
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: they don't have the same field, But a lot of

459
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 4: times they were saying that during the Kansas Michigan State

460
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 4: game because no one was there.

461
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: But I think it's because most of the people that

462
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: went were Duke and Kentucky.

463
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: Fans and they just weren't in the arena yet, right,

464
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 4: And I think once look, it felt like the atmosphere

465
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 4: was great once our people got it.

466
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

467
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Apparently, during one of the TV timeouts, they bring out

468
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: a couple of students for a half court shots, and

469
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: the Kentucky kid they brought out had a Pope costume on,

470
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: and our fan base went nuts for the guy, like

471
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: as much as they were playing a real game. So

472
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: that just tells me that the environment had to be

473
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: pretty good. Inside there.

474
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's stuck during Kansas Michigan State, but

475
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 4: it's always Michigan State. Let's be honest. They shouldn't be

476
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: in it. They shouldn't be in it. They you know

477
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: what they ought to do?

478
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: What should they do?

479
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 4: All you guys are smart, take Michigan State out, put

480
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 4: Yukon in.

481
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: That's who should be in it.

482
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: Yukon should replace Michigan State right now, Yukon, that would

483
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: be the right. I mean, Carolina you'd put in it,

484
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: but they're the same conference as Duke, so you can't

485
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: do it. So if you're gonna have Duke take out

486
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: Michigan State, put yu Kan in and then I think

487
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 4: you would have exactly what you need.

488
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to see that too. And the

489
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: early game thing.

490
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 5: As I said, I think I've been to all of

491
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 5: these and Kentucky has been the late game ten of

492
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 5: fourteen times, which is crazy in itself. And it's been

493
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: the case in all of these were the first game

494
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 5: hadn't had the crowd because the Kentucky fans whoever they're playing,

495
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 5: are still out getting ready for it.

496
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: In Michigan State, like no one comes.

497
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 4: So Michigan State shouldn't be in it, like and if

498
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 4: they weren't in it, if you had Yukon, Kansas, Kentucky Duke,

499
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 4: it would be full all four games, right like you.

500
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 4: But they don't do that, and they should. Who's up next, Joe, Joe?

501
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Joe.

502
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: Hey, guess I just wanted to call in. We had

505
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 7: I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but somehow,

506
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 7: some way, I'm gonna speak poking on this first fifty.

Speaker 4: last two minutes of the game.

510
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 7: We didn't have it, but we were on the way

511
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 7: to the.

512
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: Oh you went to the hospital during the last two

513
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 2: minutes of the game.

Speaker 2: Bet Otaga?

517
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 7: I think I could swing that.

518
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: Otaga feels like that would be a good I mean,

519
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: Otaga probably made the play while you were on your

520
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: way to the hospital. What do you think, Drew, Otaga?

521
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,480

Speaker 4: middle name. Just go all in on the Otega away. Hey,

534
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,119

Speaker 2: Also, Jake Paul is fighting Mike Tyson Friday night. Are

547
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,520

00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Shannon?

549
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna here at the bar.

550
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna I'm actually really excited about that.

551
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

552
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the nostalgia of Tyson. I just hope that

553
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: he doesn't come out and look like a fifty eight

554
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: year old man.

555
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: A different rules, so they're using fourteen pound goal or

556
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: fourteen ounce gloves instead of ten. They're going two minute

557
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: rounds instead of three, and eight rounds instead of twelve.

558
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 3: I hope Tyson just knocks his block off in the

559
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: first round. That would make me happy. But I don't

560
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: know that that's.

561
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 4: Says that the stupid money is all pouring in on

562
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: Tyson and the smart money is all pouring in on Paul.

563
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what do you think is gonna happen?

564
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: Do you get no idea? Yeah, no idea. You know,

565
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 2: we decided to get the fight here. We don't. We

566
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 2: don't get a lot of fights anymore.

567
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 4: But I'm hoping that it feels like that's something younger

568
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: people will like wanting to see.

569
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: Jake Paul, we'll see.

570
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 4: I mean, it's tough with Netflix because like you have

571
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 4: to do this all this rigamarole to get the net,

572
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 4: but we're we're gonna get it and have it Friday night.

573
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, I can't think of a time that I'm

574
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: really interested enough i'd want to watch a fight. I

575
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: think just the fact it's those two guys. I know

576
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: it's not a title fight, but the fact it's those years.

577
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: I won't get to watch it live, but I want

578
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: to see some of it.

579
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: Well, why would you want to watch a fight when

580
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: it's over? Don't you want to see?

581
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 6: Like?

582
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: Don't you want to see like when when it's live?

583
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: Some of it too?

584
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: Like what you're gonna watch like one round?

585
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not that route wrong, you're gonna watch it? Yeah,

586
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 4: you'renna watch just the fourth round and then stop.

587
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: I want to see Mike Tyson. I want to see, Well,

588
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: he's like at fifty eight, my aid, he's my ad.

589
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the thing, you know, like he was

590
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: struggling at the end of his career.

591
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: He was thirty eight.

592
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: Then he's twenty years older since the last time he fought.

593
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: But I guess so, I guess we'll see if I'm

594
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: not two eight twenty two eighty seven.

595
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 2: One person rites Matt.

596
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 4: The thing I liked is that really none of our

597
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: guys look scared at the end. You had car taking

598
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: it to the basket light, butler o way uh even

599
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: Robinson took the three that he missed. It's nice to

600
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: see that we have guys who want the ball in

601
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: those moments.

602
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: That's true.

603
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 5: D that when they were down at halftime. I think

604
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 5: I might even said to Ryan, but I was thinking

605
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: at that point. The good thing about this Kentucky team

606
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: is no matter what, they could get hot in a hurry,

607
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 5: and you can look up.

608
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: At three straight threes in their back a.

609
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, they made a comeback, but I was surprised they

610
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 5: actually did it with defense and other things without a

611
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: big three point.

612
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 2: Only one three pointer.

613
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: Think about this, only one three pointer in the last

614
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: eleven and a half minutes of the game, and we

615
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: won it.

616
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 5: If I told you second half defense would beat Duke,

617
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 5: you'd like, what. But sure, Duke missed some open shots.

618
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 5: But what I think Duke shot forty nine percent in

619
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 5: the first half and second or in the second half

620
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 5: shot twenty something percent. That was the halftime adjustments. And

621
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 5: that's just to see the team we worried about defense

622
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 5: win that way was very refreshed.

623
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 4: I also think it's worth noting that the lineup that

624
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 4: we've talked about but we hadn't seen really all year,

625
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: we saw it in the last five minutes of the game,

626
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 4: which was Car at the.

627
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: Five and four perimeter. Dude.

628
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 4: Yes, they basically down the stretch, played uh Away, Robinson,

629
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 4: either Butler or Creasa, and then Brea some as well.

630
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: That they they played four out and Car as the five.

631
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 4: They did not play Williams and Garrison much in the

632
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: last five minutes of the game. That was like the

633
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: first time we'd seen that line up all year. Yeah,

634
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 4: and car got buckets. Like I said, he was tough

635
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 4: down low, scored some big buckets. Then they made their

636
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 4: big comeback and.

637
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: He was able to exploit there the duke big there

638
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: at the end.

639
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 5: That and they didn't lose a lot of rebounding in

640
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 5: that scenario. I like a little Car at the five,

641
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 5: especially late in games. Mario Williams hid his free throws

642
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 5: last night. I still worry about him being in If

643
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 5: he gets sent to the line and he's he he's

644
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 5: gonna have at least two turnovers a game where he's

645
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 5: trying to do too much and get on Sports Center.

646
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: A couple of times it works out and you're like, wow,

647
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 5: what an umber the pass, But a couple of times

648
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 5: it lands in the crowd.

649
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: He can't.

650
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: He never dribbles with his right hand. He only goes left,

651
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 4: and he only dribbles with his left hand, and he

652
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 4: looks when he dribbles the ball, he looks unbelievably awkward,

653
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: like it feels like he dribbles. It feels like he

654
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 4: dribbles like Stanley on the office with the ball like

655
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 4: way out in front of him, and you just hope

656
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: that he spins and makes it work. Although he did

657
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: hit a jumper and he was four for four from

658
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: the free throw line with the ugliest shot. But yeah,

659
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: he dribbles like it's like, and he only goes left,

660
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 4: and it's kind of surprising that it works out. But

661
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 4: he was three for twelve from the field, so you

662
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: don't want him shooting too much.

663
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: The world got to see that jumper from fifteen foot

664
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: not granted he did hit it.

665
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: It was the ugliest jumper that's ever gone in ht

666
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: the rim and just went smash, fell and fell in

667
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 4: in the basket.

668
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: But I don't know if it's a good thing, but

669
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 5: he is and you're right, it does look like Stanley.

670
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: He is capable of just.

671
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: Grabbing a rebound and going now, but he's also out

672
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: of control. He also grabbed that one rebound and went

673
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: and then turned it over.

674
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

675
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 5: He's he's gonna have some bad turnovers. But how many

676
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 5: guys his size can just take it and go the

677
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 5: other way? I don't know how often we want that,

678
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 5: but he's capable.

679
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's up next, Brian? And go ahead, Brian.

680
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 9: How y'all doing today?

681
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: Doing good?

682
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 9: I got my redemption. I got my redemption last night.

683
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 9: My son called in yesterday Clark, the one that pushed

684
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 9: his grandma. Yes, that was my son. So I got

685
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 9: my redemption last night. Oh good, it's good to Yep,

686
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 9: it's good to see a coach make adjustments at halftime.

687
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: Well, no, it is very I appreciate the call. It

688
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: is very good to see uh to. So yeah, we've

689
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: talked about a lot to see a coach. A coach

690
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: make adjustments to seem sort of you know, figure out

691
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 4: what's not working changing. I mean even just like think

692
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: about going to that lineup with Karth. They hadn't done

693
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: that the entire season, and then in the final five

694
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: minutes with the game on the line, he.

695
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Does and it works and they got buckets. So yeah,

696
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, not just adjustments at halftime, you know, in

697
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: game adjustments, you know, drawing up plays coming out of

698
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: a time out, drawing up plays for out of bound plays.

699
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he he's definitely a different breath of fresh

700
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: air that we've been missing for a long time.

701
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out one of the

702
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: guys we haven't mentioned.

703
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: Kobe Braa got two huge rebounds down the stretch. I mean,

704
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: he's not a great defender, but he went in there

705
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: and they fought for rebounds against taller players, just boxing

706
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: out and finding a way to get rebounds.

707
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: I felt like we got like seven.

708
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: Rebounds down the stretch where the ball would bounce on

709
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 4: the floor and we would find a way to come

710
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 4: up with it in the in the scrap.

711
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, he and car both felt like that. Just a

712
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 5: little behind athletically, but lay in that game. They were

713
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 5: hustling and making a lot of the plays defensively that

714
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 5: kept Kentucky in it. I worried early on when Lamont Butler,

715
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 5: you know one of the guys I think is gonna

716
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: be star defensively, There's that loose ball and it kind

717
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 5: of went halfway after it.

718
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, that was.

719
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: I think just early on Kentucky looked a little nervous

720
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 5: and that was part of it. But the second half

721
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 5: they were fighting and doing everything they could and that

722
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 5: come back.

723
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: One person rights, Matt, Do you think uh Mark Pope

724
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: can now lose a couple of games and it's okay?

725
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 4: I think I think he has what do you think

726
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: he has? Universal? Like we always talk about the approval rating?

727
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: Is there anyone not giving Mark proop approval right now?

728
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: I mean, is he at one hundred percent?

729
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 5: I don't know what you could say, Like, even though

730
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 5: I wanted to be a hater, I don't even know

731
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 5: what I would come up with.

732
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, how can you come up with anything to be

733
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: a negative of what he's done? And after they won

734
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: last night? I mean, if they lose at Clemson, they

735
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: lose it to Gonzaga, is I give him a pass

736
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: on those games? Like we're still in the honeymoon phase?

737
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

738
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: I mean the only thing that could frustrate people is

739
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 4: if we lost to Louisville probably Yeah, but you could

740
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: lose to Clempson and Gonzaga and people would still feel positive.

741
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: I agree, Let's not do that.

742
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: No, we don't want to do that.

743
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: I mean forty zero seems more likely than that at

744
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 5: this point, with all the excitement around here.

745
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 4: Do you like it seems like every time Jay Billis

746
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: does one of our games, it becomes a contrary. Do

747
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 4: you like ja Billis on the Call of Games?

748
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: I do, like I said, I saw a lot of

749
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: complaints on social media about him being a duke homerlast night.

750
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: That's why I ask you, But I like him doing

751
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: it again, Shan.

752
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: And I like him though, ye me, I know you

753
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 4: hosted with him for a few years.

754
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he and I are really close friends, so I

755
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: mean he'd be biased a little bit, but no, I

756
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: think that he does a good job of calling it

757
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: down the middle. I saw a lot of people, though,

758
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: saying the same thing that you did online.

759
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like he was a duke.

760
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 4: I mean, look, the storyline in that game is is

761
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 4: Cooper Flagg? I get it, Like that's the storyline now.

762
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: I mean, ESPN, it is a little weird that their

763
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: headline for the game is John Shire says Duke's cramping

764
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: hurt their loss, Like come on, yeah, you know, I

765
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: mean they're cramping was an issue, but like that shouldn't

766
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 4: be the headline. But with that said, I fully expected

767
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: the story to be Duke, and it will be Duke

768
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 4: all year just because of.

769
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: How many draft picks they have. But that's what we

770
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: were for many years.

771
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: We can't we can't complain like that's what we were

772
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: for a long time.

773
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 5: They're going to promote Duke as much as they can

774
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: because he's going to be a national story. He already is,

775
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 5: but just the more casual viewers are going to learn

776
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 5: more and more about him because he will be the

777
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 5: number one pick.

778
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 4: I bet the ratings for that game are really good

779
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: last night, Like, I bet that ends up being a

780
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 4: very highly rated You know, it's interesting they had Dallas

781
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: and Golden State played in the NBA Clay's return to

782
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: step against Steph.

783
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like the Kentucky Duke.

784
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 4: Game is going to outrate that game, and yet the

785
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 4: coverage will be way more for the Steph. Yeah, in

786
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: my view, And this is a criticism of ESPN that

787
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 4: I've made to ESPN college bask For many years they

788
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 4: covered college football, not nearly as much as as popular

789
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: as it was. Now they've kind of they cover it

790
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: a lot. I still don't think they cover college basket

791
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 4: that think about the coverage they make to the NBA

792
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: Visa VI College even though the really good college games

793
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: get better ratings than the NBA games too.

794
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, Clay returned to Steph is

795
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: a good story. But if you want to watch a game,

796
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,239
Speaker 1: you're watching that Kentucky Duke game last night.

797
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: You know what.

798
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 4: It was a good game though too. That Steph would

799
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: Steph was amazing down the stretch. But I still I'll

800
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 4: make your bet. I bet that Duke Kentucky game got better.

801
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 4: I bet I bet it did a nine two eighty seven.

802
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 4: Tell me about stock to.

803

858
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: The UK basketball team.

859
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: Has been such a disappointment over the last five years,

860
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 4: and especially like where you really feel it is like

861
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 4: road games because people just would not come out and

862
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: watch road games and then last night was so awesome

863
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 4: and so fun, and it feels like, Okay, now here

864
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: we go, you could show up, Ryan could take a

865
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: shirt off.

866
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: Ryan.

867
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 4: I knew it was fun when Hubby called me at

868
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 4: like midnight in the uber on the way home, and

869
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, he must have had a good

870
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: time if that was happening.

871
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: Hubby stayed to the very end. We were all still

872
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: here partying, celebrating. I just talked to Druder in one

873
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: of the breaks. I don't even know who they played next.

874
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: I was so focused on this Duke game. I didn't

875
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: even know who was next with the basketball.

876
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: So we played.

877
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 4: We played Lipscomb next Tuesday, so we got the weekend off.

878
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 4: Lipscomb next Tuesday, which is the team that played Arkansas

879
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: and with like five minutes to go was only down four.

880
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 4: So it would be an interesting basis of comparison is Lipscomb.

881
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: They had a bad loss last night.

882
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 5: They were up twelve at home with like four minutes

883
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 5: left and managed to lose, So they'll be coming off

884
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 5: of that. To your point about the bar being crazy,

885
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 5: there are people here that I've talked to during breaks.

886
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 5: They're like work thirds and we normally go home and

887
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 5: go to bed. Be like, no driving the chaos barb

888
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 5: be part of this last night other than people sweeping

889
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: and counting the money to go home. I was the

890
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: last person to leave, sitting at the bar working on

891
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 5: my computer, and two different ubers showed up after we

892
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 5: were kind of closed.

893
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: Like we just want to keep the party going. Had

894
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 2: to politely be like, you know, it's two in the morning.

895
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 5: I mean, people just wanted to be around Kentucky fans

896
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 5: late last night and even earlier this morning.

897
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: I got up at five forty five this morning in Evansville.

898
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: Right, thank you very much.

899
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: Tyler Hero had forty last night, by the way, for

900
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 4: the for the heat, his career high, just keeping that

901
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 4: UK train going BJ another one BJ Boston. A lot

902
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: of you may have forgotten him. He's killing it this

903
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 4: year for the Pelicans, and I'm happy for him, Like

904
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 4: that team's that team's stunk, But I don't really, I

905
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 4: don't blame him. One of the things is gonna be

906
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: tough tough about that COVID team and the and only

907
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: the second losing record is like there are multiple pros

908
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 4: that were on that team. You know, Olivier Sar played

909
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 4: in the NBA BJ Boston.

910
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: In the NBA Isaiah Jackson.

911
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 4: Isaiah Jackson. I mean, so we have three guys in

912
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: the NBA from that team, and we went and we

913
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 4: had a losing record.

914
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: Not just a losing record, they were really bad, really bad. YEA,

915
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: three NBA guys on that team. Just I'm not saying

916
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: I feel like there was even more? Are we forgetting anyone? Well?

917
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean, rest in peace.

918
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: Terrence Clark probably would have been in the NBA if

919
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: he had not passed.

920
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: Who's next, Tyler? Tyler? Go ahead, Tyler.

921
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 8: Hey, Matti, guys, thanks, thanks for taking my call. I

922
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 8: probably don't add anything new to this, but I went

923
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 8: back and looked last night at my tweets from a

924
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 8: few months ago when we hired Mark Pope, and I

925
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 8: said something to the effect of this is like a

926
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 8: legacy hire for Barnart. He's either going to be a

927
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 8: hero or a doing based on this higher And you know,

928
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 8: at first I thought the expectations and the higher he was,

929
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 8: he wasn't setting Pope up for success based on the

930
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 8: way things were communicated. But you know, hat in hand,

931
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 8: he you know, Mark Pope is exactly the coach we

932
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 8: needed and we didn't know we needed at the time.

933
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 8: I mean, I felt like, well I've heard Ryan say

934
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 8: this multiple times, but you know, I'm an Eastern Kentucky

935
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 8: kid originally, and uh, I didn't get to go to

936
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 8: a lot of games. My dad worked second shift a

937
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 8: lot of times growing up, and we moved to Central

938
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 8: Kentucky and he worked at Toyota and he worked second

939
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 8: shift his whole life. And I remember I got to

940
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 8: take my dad to Reperena for his first game and

941
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 8: seeing my dad what it meant to him to be

942
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 8: in Ropperena, and I felt like the last five years

943
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 8: of being called a basketball penny and everybody acting like,

944
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 8: you know, games didn't matter. It was just like we

945
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 8: felt like we were being condescended to and talked down

946
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 8: to his fans. And you know now when I take

947
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 8: my son, he went to Pope's second game, it was

948
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 8: a game the other night. He didn't want to leave

949
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 8: my son's twelve and has never known he came to

950
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 8: be really good.

951
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: And that is to cut you off, but I totally

952
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: agree with you with you on that. I appreciate it.

953
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: Called Mark Pope said, there's a thread that connects everyone

954
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 4: involved with Kentucky basketball, and Mark Pope was the first

955
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: perfect person right now to kind of get that thread

956
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 4: back tied. There are a lot of people, not everybody,

957
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: but there were people who felt like their kind of

958
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 4: connection and thread to Kentucky basketball had frayed in recent

959
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 4: years for whatever reason. Everybody has a different reason. Maybe

960
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 4: it was I didn't get to know the players. Maybe

961
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 4: it was, you know, I don't like the way Cal

962
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 4: talks to us. Maybe it was we're losing too much.

963
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 4: Whatever it was, but there were people whose connection to

964
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 4: the program just wasn't as strong as it once was.

965
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 4: And it feels like, no matter what your thought about

966
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 4: the program was, Ryan, everyone's connection is now back strong

967
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: and tiding it.

968
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: I love that word thread because we do. We as

969
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: fans feel as much as part of the UK basketball

970
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: program as otega Oway. We as fans feel as much

971
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: part as Mark Pope, that thread that connects us to

972
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: the team. You're right, had been kind of afraidtle bit

973
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: over the years because Cal called a player's program. Well, no,

974
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: it's not, you know, it's a fans program.

975
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

976
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 5: And it's not just the fans and the players. There

977
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 5: are people that work behind the scenes of the UK

978
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 5: that have worked there forever who have talked about how

979
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 5: even in the office, everything just feels like a cohesive

980
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 5: unit against everyone's working together.

981
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what uh, you know, that's what you want. Yep,

982
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: you want to have that that excitement. It's a unified,

983
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 4: big blue nation and we're going to just to the

984
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 4: rest of the world, we're gonna be obnoxious. I mean
