I was like, 19 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: what is that like for players too? You know when 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: you go everyone talks about going west coast to east coast, 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 2: But like, you know, if you're Kentucky. You probably feel 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: like it's you know, almost midnight or whatever it is 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: your body does in a game like that. And I wondered, Billy, honestly, 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: if that contributed to the start, right, Like I wondered, 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: if like you being in a situation with this three 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: hour time difference and you know, your body's saying it's 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: ten o'clock really, and you know you don't play games 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: that start at ten o'clock normally. So I did wonder 29 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: if that had contributed to, you know what, what happened 30 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: at the start of the game. But then you know 31 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: they're down eighteen, they come back and one of the 32 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: craziest comebacks I've seen.

So I appreciate that Mary Monday calling. I 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: want to hear about things that made you smile over 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: the weekend. I'm sure it'd be a lot of Kentucky 67 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: people excited about the game. Here is my thought, right, 68 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Can I be honest about back in time what I thought? Right? 69 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Because I think that game is gonna be the game 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: you look at on selection Sunday. Not because of what 71 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: Gonzaga means for a resume, right, like, not because of that, 72 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: but because I think you may look back at that 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: game and go, that's what it became Mark Pope's team, Right, 74 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: And now I'm not saying it wasn't before, Right, Mike 75 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: Prope gets the job, obviously, there were some people, there 76 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: were some doubters. He quickly won a lot of people 77 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: over with how he approached the job. Then he comes 78 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: out in week one of the season and he beats 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: Duke in the Champions Classic. There are a whole lot 80 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: of people who were going in that moment, Wow, Forget 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: if we doubted him, We certainly believe now. But I 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: felt like Saturday's game really put Mark Pope's stamp on 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: the program because you're down eighteen points and you're on 84 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: the road. And yeah, it wasn't a quote true road game, 85 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: but in Seattle, that is Gonzaga country. Even though I 86 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: was shocked by how many Kentucky fans had gone out there, 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: but you know that was one of those moments where 88 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: if Kentucky doesn't respond in the second win or lose, 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: like if they just get smacked in the face by 90 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: Gonzaga and they lose by fifteen to twenty five points. 91 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 2: There are teams, Billy, who haven't recovered from those moments. 92 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: Like there are teams that you can look at in 93 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: any season and go, oh, they got punched in the 94 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: mouth and they never recovered, and then you just see 95 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 2: them kind of limping through the season and you realize 96 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: that they never found a way to kind of put 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: that behind them. That could have been that for Kentucky, 98 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: Like that could have been the moment where you look 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: back on selections there and you go, they faced real adversity, 100 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: they didn't respond, and now that becomes a shadow over 101 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: the program the rest of the way I've seen it happen. 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: It certainly can't happen instead. And I don't know what 103 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: Mark Pope said to this team in the locker room. 104 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: I'd be curious, what do you think he said, Billy, 105 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: What do you think he told the team in the 106 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: locker room? Like if you if you were a Mark 107 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 2: Pope and you were giving a speech at halftime, what 108 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: would you have said to a team down at one 109 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: point by eighteen points against Gonzaga. 110 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: I think Mark Pope probably said, we got them right 111 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: where we want them. Myron, this is this is a 112 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: coach maybe you know he talks about like collecting data, 113 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: collecting data in the first half to adjust in the second. 114 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: And but Mari, they did it without a point guard. 115 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 3: I mean their point starting point guards not in the game. 116 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: Their backup point guard goes down, they have to put 117 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: Jackson Robinson at the point. I mean, I think you're 118 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: exactly right a seed line game when it comes to 119 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: when you when you're putting the tournament together in March. 120 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: I think a lot a lot of peop will look 121 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 3: back at this game against a top ten good Zaga 122 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: team that was up sixteen at the half. It's incredible 123 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: looking back. 124 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And the bracket is the bracket, right? Like for me, 125 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: like that'll be the tangible element of this, right, does 126 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: this make them a one seed or whatever it is? 127 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: There's a very tangible component of this, But just in 128 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: terms of like who you are, Like, that's one of 129 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: those we blame coaches for everything, and I sometimes can't 130 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: stand it if I'm being honest, right, because we want 131 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: coaches to do it all in moments like that, and 132 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: certainly coaches deserve blame, you know, if teams lose to 133 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: a certain degree. But I also think there are moments 134 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: where like players got to look at themselves in the 135 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: mirror and say who are we? And I really thought 136 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: it was that moment for Kentucky. I mean I tweeted 137 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: that I felt like, no matter what Mark Pope said, 138 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: the Kentucky Wildcats had to sit in that locker room 139 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: and they had to say who are we? Like, what 140 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: are we going to be with? Down sixteen and a 141 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: half right down by as much as eighteen, you have 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: your starting point guard is out, and defensively, you could 143 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: see what happened without Lamont and the challenges that they 144 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: had in that first half, Ryan Themhart and how good 145 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: he was. Then Kirk Crisa goes out and now he's 146 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: scheduled for surgery and out And definitely you are shorthanded 147 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: and you have been punched in the face by Gonzagativ 148 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: that scored fifty points in the first half. And I 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: don't care what Mark Pope said, I mean meaning I 150 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: don't think that was the most important element. Mark Pope 151 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: could have given a Rocky Balboa speech, he could have 152 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: given a Vince Lombardi's speech, He could have given the 153 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: greatest speech in the history of speeches. Right, that to 154 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: me was secondary to what Kentucky and the players in 155 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: that locker room and the decision they were gonna make 156 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: in that moment, how will we respond right now? And 157 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: I think that changes a team to go from down 158 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: that big at halftime on the road away from home, 159 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: and then you claw back into that game. You could 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: just see not only the momentum changing, you could see 161 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: Gonzaga like you know what I mean. It was like, 162 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: you know, I watched a lot of boxing, Billy right, 163 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: and you can see how like sometimes early you'll have 164 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: a fighter who's getting the best of the other guy 165 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: for four or five six rounds, and then like in 166 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: round seven, all of a sudden, the guy who's losing 167 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: comes back and starts throwing haymakers, and you could see 168 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: the fight change that happened against Gonzaga all of a sudden. 169 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: You could see how rattled Gonzaga was. You could see 170 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: how much pressure they suddenly felt because they went from 171 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: a team that has scored fifty points in the first 172 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: half and was up by sixteen to wait a minute, guys, 173 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: we can't lose this lead. And anytime you can make 174 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 2: an opponent feel like the goal is to preserve a 175 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: lead and not win the game, you got them. And 176 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: I think Kentucky did that because they're shorthanded, and I 177 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: think Gonzaga is looking at them and going, why are 178 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: you all still fighting? Why are you still throwing punches 179 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: In the ninth and ten round, I thought we had you. 180 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: This should be over, you should quit. And I think 181 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: that's why that hath and whatever happened in that locker 182 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: room will be impactful for the rest of the year 183 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: for this team, Billy, because Mark Pope can only do 184 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: so much. But those guys made a decision that they 185 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: weren't going to go out like that, and that says 186 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 2: a lot about who they are like to me on 187 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: the court, people will say this is a national championship 188 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: caliber team. I agree. When you can beat Gonzag in 189 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: that situation, when you can beat Duke, you are on 190 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: that level. Beyond that, this is clearly a team that 191 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: has a level of fight and heart that Mark Pope 192 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: can't do anything about it. That's not about Mark Pope. 193 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: That's about those guys, and those guys decided, you know, 194 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 2: Jackson and Andrew carn All, those dudes said, you know what, 195 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: We're better than this. And I think that is the 196 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 2: strongest message that that team is set. That's bigger than Duke. 197 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: I mean, symbolically, that's a big win over Duke. Obviously 198 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: in the catology, that's a big win over Duke. But 199 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: in terms of like what's going to happen the rested away. 200 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: You just lost to Clemson and now here you are 201 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: down sixteen points eighteen is the largest deficit you have 202 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 2: and you come back. That's the real stuff, man, That 203 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: that can change a team's outlook. And I think that 204 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: second half was that important for Kentucky. Billy. 205 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, belief in yourself can 206 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 3: be one of the strongest things out there. That's why 207 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 3: I find myself on the biggest sports talk radio show 208 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: in the Commonwealth with Meyer Metcalft, an ESPN radio host, 209 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 3: because I believed in myself Myron to get to this 210 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 3: point and you and you saw that really take shape 211 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: in the eyes of these Kentucky players. But they did 212 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: it a different way. You know, they shoot only twenty 213 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 3: eight percent from three to seven of twenty five. They 214 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: bust out the one three one zone in the second 215 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: half that just confused Gonzaga just enough to allow the 216 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 3: Cats to kind of find that belief and momentum. So 217 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: it's it's really encouraging because you looked at this week, 218 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: you hope that they could go one in one one. 219 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: It's actually a loss to Clemson and a big win 220 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 3: versus Gonzaga. But you know, I like what you're preaching about. 221 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: These guys will be able to carry this comeback when 222 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 3: on for the rest of the season, to say, hey, 223 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: we can come back in any scenario despite when the 224 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: odds are against us. 225 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: If you could pick anybody to give a halftime speech 226 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: in that situation, like if Mark Pope could like call somebody, 227 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: who would you want to give that time speech? 228 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: That's a great question. 229 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: Who would give the greatest halftime speech? I could putting 230 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: out to the callers too, who would be I want 231 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: to know about your Merry Mondays. But also if you 232 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: could pick anybody ever, who's your halftime speech? For me? 233 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: I think, Billy, it'd have to be like Morgan Freeman, 234 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? 235 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: Oh, the voice of God to come in and. 236 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: Walked in and my team is down like sixteen and 237 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: a half and he gives one of those like Shawshank 238 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: redemption speeches, like we're winning by thirty. I feel like, 239 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: so I think that would be my pick. I am 240 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: curious with other people. 241 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I might go, like have a person I was thinking. 242 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: I don't know why this is the first person I 243 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: thought about, but like Matthew McConaughey could come in and 244 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: like really fret that'd. 245 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: Be a lot though he would do. Yeah, he do 246 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: too much. 247 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: I think I want to buy a buick every time 248 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 3: I watch his commercial. I figure he can get me 249 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: fired up for the game. But I like Morgan for 250 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 3: a little better than that one. 251 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: I mean Matthew mcconae. Like the problem with Matthew mcconaughe 252 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: doing a halftime speech is he's gonna stay on the 253 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: bench the whole game and at one point he's gonna 254 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: try to check in. Like it's gonna get weird with 255 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 2: Matthew mcconnae. I you know what I mean, that's the 256 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: check Like when I see him at these Texas football. 257 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: Games, I don't know he's ready to check. 258 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm like, bro, you don't play Like, why 259 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: are you so close to the sideline in the action? Man, 260 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: like take take a deep breath. But Morgan Freeman from me, Yeah, 261 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: Matthew mcconae, I get that. Whoever. Whatever they said, though, 262 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: it was clearly changed the vibe. Man in that locker room. 263 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: We got how many minutes we got left? 264 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 3: Man, Uh, we can do whatever you want. This is 265 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 3: a soft break, so you can you can break now. 266 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: We could go another five minutes. It's the next one. 267 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 3: We'll have a heart out. 268 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: So I got another thing to say here, and we 269 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: got callers. We'll get to callers here. Through Throughout the show, 270 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: I did a big piece on Mark Pope. Flew around 271 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: the country to get and talk to people and talk 272 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 2: to him and literally had to like chase him down 273 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: by the way. I went to like I was on 274 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: my way to Kentucky and they were like, no, he's 275 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: at Peach Jam. I changed my flight, Billy, I go 276 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: to Peach Jam in Georgia or South Carolina. Then I 277 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: come back to Lexington. It was a lot, but we 278 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: had a chance to sit down with Mark Pope this summer, 279 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: and you know, we were talking about the job and everything. 280 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: And you know, one of the conversations I had with him, 281 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: I said, you know, Mark, this team has obviously the 282 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: veterans the town. You got that, but I said, do 283 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: you have any dogs? 284 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 5: You know what I mean? 285 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: Like, do you have any dudes? And I think that 286 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: was the real question for Mark Pope coming into the season. 287 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: It was the thing that I think he admitted he 288 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: didn't know yet, you know what I mean, Like he 289 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: didn't know. And I think if there's one thing that 290 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: Kentucky certainly had under Cat, it's like you always had one, two, 291 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: three guys where you said, I don't know what the 292 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: situation's gonna be, but those guys are gonna be as good, 293 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 2: if not better than anybody on the opposing team, just 294 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: from a raw talent perspective. Right. We know that didn't 295 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: always lead to wins, But I think that was the 296 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: one question Mark polpe face, when you're down in a 297 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: moment like this, who is it? Like, who's the guy 298 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: you're gonna turn to you? Who are the players you're 299 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: gonna say? All right, all right, Superman, you know, go 300 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: into the phone booth. Right And by the way, Billy, 301 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: on a side note, nobody saw a Superman changing in 302 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: that dog on phone booth. Are you kidding me? Billy? 303 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: Are you serious? This man has on glasses and slacks 304 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: and he's a trench coat whatever he's wearing, and a 305 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: briefcase and there's nobody near that phone booth that sees 306 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: him changing. Billy, Yeah, you w I believe that. Come on, man, 307 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: that's not that a phone move would be the worst 308 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: way to try to conceal you being a superhero. But anyways, 309 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: I digress. I don't know. I think that was the question. 310 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: I don't think Mark polpe knew if he had any dogs. 311 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: And I say this, I mean Andrew Carbs, he played great. 312 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: I don't know that this team has those kinds of dudes, right, 313 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: those takeover guys. But what I think they have and 314 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: what I think they showed against Gonzaga is they can 315 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: play team ball better than any team in the country. 316 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: And what I think happened in the first half, and 317 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: you saw this, Billy, when they got down, Kentucky started 318 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: taking some bad shots, shots where you're going, Okay, these 319 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: aren't shots that are coming out of what you do philosophically, 320 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: these are shots coming out of desperation. I got to 321 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: climb back into the game. What you saw in the 322 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: second half was how good this team is when they're 323 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: moving the ball, when they're making the extra pass, when 324 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: they're playing selfless basketball. That's what you saw. I don't 325 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: know if this team has outside of maybe Andrew Carr, 326 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: maybe some others who you go, Okay, this guy is 327 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: gonna be first team All SEC. I don't know what 328 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: that'll look like when the awards are announced, but when 329 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: they come together, I think what you saw in the 330 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: second half is they can beat any team in America. 331 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: I think that's the difference between the first half against 332 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: Gonzaga and the second half. You're down your point guard, 333 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: you're down a second point guard, you're down by eighteen points, 334 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: sixteen at the half, you're on the road, you're not 335 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: at home. You just got punched in the mouth, and 336 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: you just gave up fifty points to Gonzaga in the 337 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: first half. There's no way one dude's gonna pull you 338 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: out of that. But I think Kentucky learning, I'm talking 339 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: about the players, and maybe Mark Pope did too, how 340 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: good they can be when they're playing together. But I 341 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: think you saw it, Clemson. I think you saw in 342 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: the first half against Gonzaga. When that's not the flow 343 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: of the game, it gets really challenging. And now without 344 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: your point guards and now injuries to those key positions, 345 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to continue to play that way to 346 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: move forward in the schedule. We're gonna take a break here, 347 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: hopefully get some calls. Got a whole lot to talk about. 348 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: I want to hear your perspective on the game. I 349 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: want to hear about who you would give the halftime 350 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: speech opportunity to if you were Mark Pope at halftime 351 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: of that game. We will be back after this, Welcome 352 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: back on another Merry Monday with Mera Metcalf. No, Matt 353 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: Jones and company. I don't know.

They're not driving the five six day 358 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: trip it would take to come back.

Mark Pope shouted them out in the 363 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 3: postgame press conference. They're like, see those guys over there. 364 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: They drove all the way from Lexington for this game. 365 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: He was probably a little bit like they didn't have to, 366 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: but they did, you know what I mean? So Hey, yeah, 367 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: what I love a good road trip and I'm glad 368 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: they enjoyed it. 369 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:05,959 Speaker 6: Uh. 370 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 2: We got some calls here on this merry Monday.

Something that made you smile? 376 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: Hey? 377 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 7: Let me tell you this team now is playing like 378 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 7: the team that I grew up with. I mean, the 379 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 7: winning games are supposed to win, and games were if 380 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 7: he they find a way to win. I couldn't be 381 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 7: more thrilled, more happy. What about that one to three 382 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 7: one zone, which coach cal would have never have done? Yeah, 383 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 7: I mean it's just a great time to be a Wildcat. 384 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 7: And as we get ready for the next victim to 385 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 7: come up, another one will fight the dust Go Cats. 386 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 7: And that's all I got to say. 387 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 2: Now, I appreciate the call. Yeah, Billy, I'm sure like 388 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: that's sort of vibe. Right, And you know that changed 389 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: from first half to second half? Right? How are you 390 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: feeling at halftime? Billy? 391 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 3: I thought the game was over, Myron, I mean, and 392 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: after a loss versus Clemson, you're out out Lamont Butler. 393 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: I mean you think that this team, you know, is 394 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 3: when they face adversity, they hit a wall. But you know, 395 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: the really surprising thing is how different guys have responded. 396 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 3: Jackson Robinson had one point against Duke, He was one 397 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 3: for eight shooting in the first half versus Gonzaga, and 398 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: yet he comes in and plays that second half. You know, 399 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 3: Andrew Carr scores what three points total versus Clemson, and 400 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: then he's able to score nineteen in the following game. 401 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 3: Like these guys, it doesn't have to be their night 402 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 3: each night, but they can respond when needed. So that 403 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: was really encouraging. 404 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: And just imagine too, if you go from that first 405 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 2: from that Clemson loss, and imagine if you play that 406 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: way in the first half and lose that game to Gonzaga. 407 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: If you lose to Clemson in Gonzaga in that fashion 408 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: and in Golenzago wins by t twenty points or fifteen points, 409 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: that's a whole different conversation. Yeah right, that's not even 410 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 2: just about the next game. That's a conversation about, Okay, 411 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: who are these guys in the national picture. But instead 412 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: you bounce back, and now you have the whole country 413 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 2: saying I think that team cain a national championship. Who's 414 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: the next caller? 415 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 3: Tyler is on the line. 416 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: What's up, Tyler? How you doing that on this Mary Monday? 417 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: What's something that made you happy? Is something that made 418 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: you smile? 419 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 4: To be honest with you smiled as soon as I 420 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 4: realized that my path is going to be hosted. 421 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: Okay, man, I appreciate that. 422 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: I appreciate that, okay uh. 423 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 4: And as far as the game, really and truly seeing 424 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 4: how this team has made up the makeup of this team, 425 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 4: they're older, more experienced and mature, and I mean, really 426 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 4: it's not surprising what happened against Kenjagga. But yeah, I 427 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 4: think this team has some grit and some heart to 428 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 4: it that we haven't had in a long time. And definitely. 429 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: Appreciate the call Tyler. I think Tyler brings up a 430 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: good point. Billy, I don't know that the same thing 431 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: happens if you have eighteen and nineteen year olds in 432 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 2: that locker room and you're down sixteen and a half 433 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: against Gonzaga. You know what I mean. I just don't 434 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: know that you have the ability to regain your composure 435 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 2: in that moment. But to have a bunch of veteran guys, 436 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: I can see how these guys could believe and all 437 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: the games they've been in throughout their careers, it's not over. 438 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: It's hard to communicate that to young guys, like it's 439 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: hard to tell a seventeen or eighteen year old it's 440 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: not over. Because the thing about freshmen coming into this 441 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: level is so many of those dudes, Billy when thirty 442 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: and one, thirty and two, thirty and three, like, some 443 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 2: of those dudes come in and they've lost less than 444 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: ten games in their high school careers, you know what 445 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: I mean. They don't even know what loss is. So 446 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: to put them in a situation against Gonzaga and you're 447 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: down sixteen at halftime and you haven't really ever lost 448 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: many games, and you certainly haven't been down like that 449 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: hard to get guys that young to respond. I think 450 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: you also saw the value of having experience across that 451 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 2: team and how that helped when it came to bouncing 452 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: back big time against Gonzaga. Experience was a significant factor, 453 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 2: and I think what happened in that game. We'll be 454 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 2: back for more. Mary Monday with Myra Metcah Black Jones's back, baby, 455 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: We'll talk to you soon. 456 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: I'm here, Meyern, I'm right here, don't you.

I mean, it's set the mood, there's 467 00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. 468 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: Take something.

So I 472 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: would say two three times a year, surprise it with 473 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: some mal because you just you know, you can't just 474 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: bring it in and then all of a sudden it's 475 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: just gone. That's not how al Green works. Okay, So 476 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: keep a consistent al Green theme. It'll help everything.

We got some more 507 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: calls on this Merry Monday, a lot of people reacting 508 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: to Kentucky and what they were able to do. I'll 509 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: just say this before we go to calls. This feels 510 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: and I know we say this in college basketball every 511 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: year because we're always talking about parody and all these 512 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: different things. It's never real, by the way, right if 513 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: you look at who's won national championships over the last 514 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: twenty five years, there hasn't been as much parody as 515 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: people think when it comes to who can actually cut 516 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 2: down the nets. But I do feel like this is 517 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: a year that feels somewhat wide open. I do, however, 518 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: believe that of the I don't know, eight to fifteen teams, 519 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: is that too much Billy in terms of who can 520 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 2: win a national championship? Maybe fifteen is too high, But 521 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: I do feel like Kentucky is sort of in that 522 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: group of teams where you go, Okay, Kentucky, Auburn, Tennessee, Duke. 523 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 2: I think is their teams that it feels like, are 524 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: putting themselves in a position where you can say, maybe 525 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 2: they'll end up separating themselves from the pack here in 526 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 2: the next couple of months based on what we've seen 527 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: so far. I mean of Kentucky with wins over Duke 528 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: now said that come from behind winover Gonzaga. I don't 529 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 2: think there's anyone with that resume so far this season, 530 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 2: and just the SEC overall has been incredible. But I 531 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: think we're going to have an amazing tournament and I 532 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: think the best of the best. Once we get to 533 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: sort of that elite eight, I think it will be 534 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 2: fascinating to kind of see who's there and to see 535 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: who comes out on top. But if Kentucky can beat 536 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: Gonzaga and can beat Duke at neutral sites, then that 537 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: means they can play with anybody. 538 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 539 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know we saw Missouri beat Kansas over 540 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 3: the weekend. I mean, we could have eight nine teams 541 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 3: in the SEC that you could put into that conversation. 542 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: You know, you're kind of touching on a point. I 543 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 3: did want to ask you, Myron, and that's you know, 544 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 3: how does this Kentucky team compare to these other top 545 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 3: national teams. I'm guessing you're looking at it and seeing 546 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 3: that it's wide open. You know, it is still early 547 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 3: in December, but you've traveled around a little bit. You're 548 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: the college basketball reporter for ESPN, So I mean, does 549 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: this team have that type of talent? 550 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: Let me tell how much I've traveled, man. I had 551 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: a stretch last week where I was at ten airports. 552 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I was at seven airports in ten days. 553 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: Oh it's a lot, man. So I've seen seen a 554 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 2: lot of teams, but I mean, I think Kentucky can 555 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 2: play with any of them. You know, I thought Auburn 556 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 2: was maybe the best team in America. They go and 557 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: play Duke and it's like, all right, well Kentucky beat 558 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: that Duke team, you know what I mean? So Kansas, 559 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: there are a lot of questions about Kansas that were 560 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: going into that game. I think Bill Selva is still 561 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: trying to figure out his rotation. But that's a good team. 562 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: I don't think they've come close to peaking yet. I 563 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 2: think Iowa State is a very good team. Tennessee will 564 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: be number one today, I believe when the Associated Press 565 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 2: rankings are announced. I'm not ready to completely dismiss Yu Kon, 566 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: but I have a hard time putting them in that 567 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: category after what they said, after what happened in Maui, 568 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: and then yeah, I think Gonzaga is probably the team 569 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: I would have said coming into that game is going 570 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 2: to be the team that maybe is right there at 571 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: number one, number two if they beat Kentucky, and then 572 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 2: Kentucky does that. So I mean you can legitimate, legitimately 573 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: say that Kentucky can play with any team in America, 574 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: and you know, can I think if you told me 575 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: the NC Double A Tournament was today, there wouldn't be 576 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: a team in the field where you said, all right, 577 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: that team can overwhelm them, because again, I think they 578 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: have a lot of depth, they have a lot of experience, 579 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 2: they have resilience, and then clearly the talent showed as well. 580 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't want to make it seem like I don't 581 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: think they're very talented. I do. I just think their 582 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: strength is actually in their ability to come together, and 583 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: they showed that during that run in the second half 584 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: who's our first our next caller. 585 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go to Sean on the Clark's Pump of 586 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: Chat phone line. 587 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 2: What's up, Seane? 588 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 6: I'm doing good morning. 589 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, what made you happy?

Do you 621 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 3: think he could rally the troops or you think that. 622 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: Would fall flat in that situation? Yeah? Nah, I don't know. 623 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. Ryan, Like you're down sixteen at half, 624 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: like you you gotta be like rooty levels in that moment, 625 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? That's not just a pep talk, 626 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: that's like a you gotta be epic. And I don't 627 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: know if there are that many people who could have 628 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 2: pulled that off, but I would love to know exactly 629 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: what Mark Pope said to that team. What's what's the 630 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: who's the next caller? 631 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Clint. 632 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: Clint, Clint, you're on, it's very Monday. Hey, what's something? Hey, 633 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: what's something that made you happy? Something that made you smile? 634 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 9: I woke up this morning. That's always a blessing. 635 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 2: Ain't that beautiful. Isn't that enough, Clint, Like we take 636 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 2: that for grant. Ye, so many people did not get 637 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: to wake up. I think that's a great answer. 638 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 9: Uh today, Well, yeah, it's I think someone almost hit 639 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 9: to it. This team's really player driven. I think that's 640 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 9: one of the biggest differences from past teams is this 641 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 9: team has really taken on leadership roles where we didn't 642 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 9: see those, uh in the past teams. You know, with 643 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 9: these young guys, they're really dependent on the coach, more 644 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 9: on more or less than on each other. So I 645 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 9: think that's the biggest point that I've seen so far 646 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 9: in this year. 647 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I appreciate the call. I mean you see 648 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 2: it in a moment like that, right, I mean Jas 649 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: Robinson is point guard. Yeah, you're playing a really good 650 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 2: Gonzaga team that I don't know if people remember, but 651 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: they destroyed Baylor. I mean not not like they lopsided, 652 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: like when they get out in front like that. Billy 653 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: Gonzaga destroys teams and how they shut the water off 654 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: on that team. And there are a lot of people saying, oh, 655 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 2: Gonzaga just missed threes. What are you talking about? Could 656 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 2: you imagine Billy what the national common would have been, 657 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: like if Kentucky had been up by sixteen and had 658 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: lost that game, Like if Kentucky had a halftime lead 659 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: of sixteen points and had found a way to lose, 660 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: do you think anybody in America would have said, well, 661 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: Kentucky just misshots. Absolutely not. People would have said that 662 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: was a collapse. They would have given Gonzaga full credit, 663 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 2: as they should. And if you didn't watch that game, 664 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 2: then say so. But if you watched it, you saw 665 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: the It wasn't just the one three one zone and 666 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 2: now people are saying that that was big. It was 667 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: that Mark Pope was switching from that one three to 668 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: one to man on the same possession. So you had 669 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: guys who were coming down to court for Gonzaga ready 670 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 2: to adjust to a one three one, and then just 671 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: as they got comfortable, Mark Pope would switch to man. 672 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: And because he has so much linked on the floor, 673 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 2: there were never a lot of mismatches. I mean there 674 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: were multiple possessions. If you watched that game where Andrew Carr, Jackson, Robbinson, 675 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 2: these big long guys on ryannimhar and that's how they 676 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: shut the falsot off. I mean they shut the falsot 677 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 2: off on and it changed the entire game. How much 678 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: more time we got in this segment? 679 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 3: We got time for one more call if you wanted 680 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 3: to take one more and then we can hit the brake. 681 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: Here a right, let's go, let's go to the next call. 682 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 3: All right, so let's go to Todd on the line. 683 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 2: Todd, how you doing on this merry Monday? 684 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 4: Man? 685 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 2: What's something that made you happy? Something that made you smile? 686 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 5: What made me happy is I'm forty nine. I'm lucky 687 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 5: enough to still have both of my parents alive and 688 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 5: I got to spend yesterday with my eighty four year 689 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 5: old mother. 690 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: That's a beautiful thing, man, That's a beautiful thing. I 691 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: love that answer. What else? What else? What'd you think 692 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: of the game? 693 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 5: The game? 694 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 4: I like. 695 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 5: The individual ball. They did the exact opposite against the 696 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 5: Gonzaga and they came together as a team to overcome 697 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 5: the deficit. 698 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I appreciate the call. I think everyone kind 699 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: of saw that, Billy, that this was the team that 700 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 2: didn't do it with one person saying I got it, 701 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: that it was the whole team that said we got it. 702 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: And I think that's how they have to play well. 703 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: That's how they beat Duke at the end. You know, 704 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 2: that was team defense, and that's how they won against 705 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 2: Gonzaga two. 706 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 3: And another guy that struggled versus Clemson but played well 707 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 3: versus Gonzaga was Brandon Garrison. There were times when Amari 708 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 3: Williams really disappeared, and he was a guy that I 709 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 3: thought they played better defense. You know, Myron, I want 710 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 3: to ask you, if you fracture your foot in game, 711 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 3: would you still be able to contest the layup as 712 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 3: Kerk Crisa did in the second half of that game, 713 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 3: because I tell you what I'd be on the ground. 714 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be contestant. 715 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 2: I don't know what that man is made of. Man 716 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 2: to be able to do what he did in that heart, 717 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: that's an unfortunate thing. You know. It's they're saying I 718 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 2: think three to six weeks, but you know, you hope 719 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 2: it's it's shorter. But man to be able to come 720 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: together like that after losing another point guard, it is 721 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 2: just remarkable, man, just remarkable. We'll take a break here 722 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 2: and we'll be back with more of your calls on 723 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: this Merry Monday with Myra metcalf A.
