Speaker 3: He'll make them pay. We are here at the KS

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: Bar and Grill. It is wings day. Uh and you

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 3: got burgers and you got wings, and you got dollar wings.

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: But you also got a little bit of sadness because

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: the Cats lose last night. Uh eighty six seventy eight.

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: This couple came in here from Marshall County. They drove

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: all the way to the game. This is the one

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 3: game they were going to this year, and they picked

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: it because they thought, well, there's a good chance we're

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: gonna win this one, right And uh, that didn't happen. Instead,

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: we lose in what I aks a big loss for

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: Kentucky big picture. You know, I talked a lot of

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 3: details of the game yesterday, but I think big picture,

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: big loss because if they had won last night, I

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: think they were basically in the tournament. Probably needed to

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: win one more game, but probably in either way. Now

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: you've got five games left, you're gonna be an underdog

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: four of them, and you can't afford to slip, and

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: you might even need to steal one to not be

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: in Dayton the SEC tournament. Your double buys probably gone

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: your single bye is not certain. I mean, there are

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: nine teams for eight spots, and you've got the hardest

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: schedule of the group, so that's not certain. And you know,

44
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: if at best, even if you kind of get hot

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: here and win some games at the end, you've probably

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: cost yourself a seed line losing it home. Ryan, it

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: did not go well. It's crazy.

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: One week ago we're sitting here talking about playing for

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: first place in the SEC. Now a week later we're

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: talking about we got to win a couple these just

51
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 4: to get into tournament. It's crazy how things have turned.

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: Just to get a not I mean even just like

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: we could not we could be playing on Wednesday. Not

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: only could we be playing on Wednesday or the SEC tournament,

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: we can play on Wednesday the first game because if

56
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: we're the nine seed. Just for people to realize, if

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: we're the nine seed, we play at one o'clock on Wednesday,

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: And I don't think there's really a way for us

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: to drop below the nine seed, but there is a

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: way to be the nine seed, and so you could

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: end up being playing one o'clock on Wednesday. So like,

62
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: it's not great.

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 5: No, the double bye was still a little unlikely. But

64
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: I think we closed the door on that last night.

65
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 5: Unless you just get some crazy hot to end the year,

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 5: and you know we're gonna be in that bubble conversation.

67
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: And this is why I hated losing early, Like, even

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 5: if your team turns the corner, if you get to

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: the tournament and you're such a high seed that your

70
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 5: path is improbable. I mean these the Georgia games matter,

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 5: the Missouri games matter, the games in November matter because

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: to achieve the goals we want to achieve, and you'd

73
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: be one of those top seeds and there's no way

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: they're gonna be a path that they're gonna like when

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: the bracket comes up.

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: No, no, it's gonna be. Yeah, I've won it all year.

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: Avoid the eight or nine seed because I think the

78
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: ones are so much better than the twos and threes

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: in the tournament this year. And we may end up

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: avoiding the eight or nine because we're a ten or eleven,

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: I think if we're not careful. So look, I went

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: over why I thought we lost the game last night.

83
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: I want to get your all's take here in just

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: a second, but I will say to you, I'm really

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: I was really disappointed last night with two things in particular,

86
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: one of which is the well, they both kind of

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: go to the same thing. I'm just really disappointed the

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: way we played in the first half. I gave this

89
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: stat last night, and in case you all went to bed,

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: and I would forgive you if I did. I just

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: want people to just digest because I want this stat

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: to take root in people's minds. We've played nineteen games

93
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: against power conference teams this year nineteen. We've played seven

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: games against bad teams, nineteen games against power conference teams

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: at halftime. Do you know what our record is if

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: the game ended at halftime.

97
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: I heard you say this last night, four and fifteen.

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: We've been losing at halftime in fifteen of these nineteen games.

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: Thirteen of the games we've been down at least a

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: dozen points at some point. So we I mean, we're

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: four and fifteen at halftime. Now, by the way, we're

102
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: only ten and nine for the games. We've barely won

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: more games against major conference teams than we've lost. But

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: we're four and fifteen at halftime. And that is awful.

105
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: Like that is awful. And yesterday is an example of

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: a game where it costs you because you could have

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: won that game, should have won that game, and fourign

108
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: fifteen at halftime, to me, as a coach, should be like, well,

109
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: whatever we're doing in the first half is not working.

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: But Mark Pope will not alter. He was asked a

111
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: couple times after the game about well, why do you

112
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: do the substitution patterns you do and you go, and

113
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: he was like, well, we've done research that says that

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: if you don't do that, your play will suffer down

115
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: the stretch. I mean, I guess, but we know it's suffering,

116
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: as Steve Smurrier would say, in the first half. And

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: then so that's first thing, then second thing. And listen,

118
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: we had this conversation yesterday on the show, so it

119
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: makes me hesitate to bring it up today because it's

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: gonna sound like I'm picking on the kid. I do

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: not want to pick on the kid because I don't

122
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: just blame him. All right, it's not his fault. But

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: if you look at the plus minus from the game

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: last night, most of our guys were all either plus

125
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: one or minus five, so they were all like bunched together.

126
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: Chandler was the best, I think, actually Moreno was the worst.

127
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: But they're all close to each other, but Trentono was

128
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: minus thirteen and Jasper Johnson was minus sixteen in fourteen.

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: So Trentona was minus thirteen and nine minutes and Jasper

130
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: Johnson was minus sixteen and fourteen minutes. Jasper Johnson was

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: two for eight from the field, and I watched him

132
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: personally give up four baskets on his own. Now he

133
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: wasn't the only one. Yellovich probably gave up five. But

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: I watched it and to me, I thought, well, after

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: that conversation yesterday, that's an unfortunate performance. After the game,

136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: Mark Pope, unprompted, brought up Jasper as having played well,

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: looked at the stat sheet, so he goes, Jasper I thought,

138
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: did some really good names things for us, and then

139
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: you could almost see him looking at the stat sheet

140
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: and then he went, well, you know, the stat sheet

141
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: didn't really show it, but I thought he played played well.

142
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: And then he had said earlier I think he needs

143
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: to play more minutes. I mean, there's a part of

144
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: me goes, what game is Mark Pope watching? Like, what

145
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: game is he watching where we don't change the first

146
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: half even though we're four and fifteen at halftime, and

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: where the player who had I think, objectively the worst

148
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: statistical game. You come out of it and say he

149
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: needs to play more. That that's what kind of makes

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: me go, what am I watching? Is that unreasonable?

151
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: No, it's not. It definitely was not one of Jasper's

152
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: better games last night. So I had a friend of

153
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: mine and text me, well, is the positive he's doing

154
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: a great job coaching at halftime making adjustments for the

155
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: second half.

156
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: Those are forty minute games. Would you get half your paycheck?

157
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: I mean we need a full game.

158
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I mean, okay, I'll give him the

159
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: halftime adjustments. Okay, but it's a full game.

160
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: It makes no sense how they have started slow like

161
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: this every single game and.

162
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Then she started well, it was like the last eight

163
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: minutes of the first run.

164
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 5: You're right, it's what stuck so bad last night. It

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 5: wasn't what's been getting.

166
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: Them all year.

167
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: And you're like, well, that's just what they are. And

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: they couldn't come back. They're up twenty seven to nineteen.

169
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: Was seven minutes left in the first half. That should

170
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: be foot on the gas. We're running you out of

171
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 5: elections to night, You're not gonna be in this. But

172
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 5: you know what, Georgia goes up there, up and half.

173
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 3: All right, but I had somebody, a little birdie, send

174
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: me the advance stats what happened with each lineup? Okay,

175
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: all right, I can look at the lineups and see

176
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: exactly who was in the same two players were in

177
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: playing together during George's run in the first half and

178
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: the second half. He had Jasper and Jelovich in together

179
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: for only five minutes in the entire game, and we

180
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: were minus fourteen in those five minutes. Now, why they

181
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: can't guard and you cannot play those guys together if

182
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna play him, you can't. And he had Jasper,

183
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: Jealovich and Noah in at the same time for three

184
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: minutes and we were minus seven in those three minutes.

185
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: How does he think you can play objectively your three

186
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: worst defenders on the floor at the same time. And

187
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: in one of those there were two possessions where we

188
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: had Jasper, Jeovich, Noah and Garrison in, which is objectively

189
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: our four worst defenders. Yeovich, guess what Georgia scored on

190
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: both the possessions. So he is not He is smart,

191
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: But you cannot have stretches, I said last night. See

192
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: if you agree with this, Aberdeen O Way Chandler Moreno,

193
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: three of those four have to be on the floor

194
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: at all times. I agreed. Would you agree have to

195
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: have three of those floor? You cannot have We had

196
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: scenarios last night where only one was in. Can't play

197
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: like that. This team's not good enough to play like.

198
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 5: That, and that shouldn't be that hard to do most nights.

199
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 5: That's the thing that drives me the craziest is he

200
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 5: keeps saying, I'm trying to find these ways to get

201
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: these guys rest. I'm not trying to be the old

202
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: guy like these are college kids. But surely they're capable

203
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: of playing thirty six minutes a game.

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: I'll with the season off the medio, surely they're surely

205
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: they can do. There are people all.

206
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: Over the country that have figured out how to play

207
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 5: thirty six minutes.

208
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: In a game, and they're doing over. I mean, I

209
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: would say, look, last night, you completely screwed up the

210
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: rotations and O Way played thirty four. You think if

211
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: he plays thirty six, he's just gonna fall down and

212
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: go that was it. But it's nothing he said the

213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: last two minutes that just did in Take me home, Lord,

214
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: I have to like he didn't say they get tired.

215
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: He says, we just start playing worse, almost like he's

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 5: saying they lose focus.

217
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: Well he said this, Yeah. In the post game show

218
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: with Tom last night, he said the reason the ball

219
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 4: went off always leg was for fault.

220
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come on? He did, Yes, he did.

221
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that he did not he said he

222
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: dribbled it off his foot, because I think he didn't

223
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: say that. Ryan, don't you be misquote why Mark Pope?

224
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: Yes, it was when he was talking to say the crowd,

225
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: he said, fatigue set in. I always had to pur

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: over and he drove it in.

227
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: So he thinks he drove it off his foot because

228
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: he was tired.

229
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: Me, it's the twenty sixth game of the season. There

230
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: should not be a fatigue problem where he, like Drew said,

231
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: other teams figured it out. Why is Kentucky not figured out?

232
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: It's not lost to me.

233
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 5: Pope was on the team that is historically known for

234
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: conditioning and vomiting. Like he, of all people, should think

235
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: the guys could handle it. We know all those stories

236
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: from Patino's.

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: Practice in the trash game, Like you're making that up

238
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: because he did not dribble off his foot because he

239
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: was tired.

240
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: The exact word Mark Pope used time it was fatigue.

241
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: I just don't bund it. Here's what I know. Whatever

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: fatigue said in the full spirit of that lineup he

243
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: was playing in the first half was worse. I'll take

244
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: a fatigued Aberdeen, Chandler and o Way. I mean, I understand,

245
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to play Yovich, you're gonna have to

246
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: play Jasper, and you might have to play Noah. I

247
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: get that, but she can't play them all together. You

248
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: can't put all those guys in together. You're actually not

249
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: even giving them a chance to succeed. Like if they

250
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: have like if you're gonna play Noah, put him with

251
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: four starters in Noah, right, But you cannot have. At

252
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: one point Aberdeen, Owah, Chandler and moreno were all out

253
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 3: And you can make an argument those are our three

254
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: best scores and they were all out. You just this team, you.

255
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 4: Can't do that well, So let's let's try to figure

256
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: it out. For most of the game last night, you

257
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: had two offensive threads, Chandler and Oway until Aberdeen got

258
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: hot Lady, which she was Chandler, and that's your only

259
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: offensive threats. Is he trying to find who could be

260
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: another offensive threat?

261
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: Listen, And I'm not now this is nitpicking, But at

262
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: the end of the game, when we went from nine

263
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: to three, who had the ball in their hands every

264
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: play and made decisions Aberdeen? Why did we then not

265
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: do that on the last play? Yeah, right, Well he

266
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: gave it to an Oway who then droubled. And I

267
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: understand listen, oways great, but how about having Aberdeen make

268
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: a drive then get it to Oway. Oh, Aberdeen had

269
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands the last four minutes of

270
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: the game and he was getting to the rim and

271
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: either finishing or kicking it out. Those two Chandler threes

272
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: were off kicks from Aberdeen. He missed them, but they

273
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: were open. Why did we then go all right, this

274
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: has worked for the last four minutes. I think Dame

275
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: Bradshaw says in the broadcast they need to get to Aberdeen,

276
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: let him create something, and then we didn't do that.

277
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: Well, So, with all this said, you're right, at the

278
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 4: end of the game we had the ball in the

279
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: hands of Chandler and Oway, the two guys that should

280
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: have had the ball.

281
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: That's true.

282
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 4: Challenger's three opportunities with the all for three and re

283
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 4: empty possessions.

284
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: And that's tough. But it's hard for me to get mad

285
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: at those guys because that we weren't in the game.

286
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: Were already done at that point.

287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were blowing eight.

288
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: Point lead to Georgia at home and you're Kentucky. That's

289
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: already a loss for me in itself.

290
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so very frustrated, very frustrated. And I and more

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: I hate the miss free throws. Aberdeen, o Way and

292
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: Noah combined to shoot seven of fourteen from the free

293
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: throw line. Those are your best free throw shooters along

294
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: with Chandler. And Chandler got no free throw. So are

295
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: your four best free throw shooters combined to go seven

296
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: for fourteen.

297
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: Can't happen, Trent like an eighty five percent shooter.

298
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: Diabotte and Garrison and moreno were five for six. It

299
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: was your guards who missed.

300
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: The free at the end of the game. You're talking

301
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: about every day. When Aberdeen was getting in the lane

302
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 4: getting fouled, he except the free throw. Two of them

303
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: couldn't a free throw one of them.

304
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: It was good he missed because we got the rebound

305
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: and scorey rebound. Yeah, that was a bit Diabata had

306
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: nine boards in seventeen minutes.

307
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: You got to give him that credit, you know. Georgia

308
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: set the tone early, tried to get physical with this

309
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: and we didn't respond. But a bot day, the physicality

310
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: of the game did not bother him at all.

311
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty

312
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: seven text Machine seven seven two seven seven four five

313
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: two five four. Uh, we will take him. We'll take

314
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: a break, uh and take your calls. Tough loss, but

315
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: you know what we do, or at least we're not.

316
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: We're not Mike Cronin because we got to play that

317
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: tip or clip not tip.

318
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 4: We'll bear it back, kind of saying.

319
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Turkey Sports Radio A Feb Nine, two eight

320
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: oh twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, matt Lebron

321
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: James is five hundred and twenty years old and he

322
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: plays thirty three minutes a game. Are you telling me

323
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: these dudes can't play thirty three minutes a game? That's

324
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: a good point. I mean, now, granted he's a pro

325
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: and in amazing shape, but he is he is like

326
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: just a little younger than I am and still going.

327
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: And why aren't our guys an amazing shape, right, I mean,

328
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: there's no excuse.

329
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: Shannon, like Shannon chiming in, so you think there's no

330
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: excuse for not being.

331
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot to be said about what

332
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Drew said earlier. I mean, Mark Pope played for Rick

333
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: Patino and those teams. Every guy on that team, I

334
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: guarantee you back then could play for forty minutes and

335
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: if it went to overtime, they play forty five minutes

336
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: and not have to set out. And it's like now,

337
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: it's well, you know he can't go another two or

338
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: three minutes.

339
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: Why Olway played sixteen minutes in the second half so

340
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 5: he has a halftime break four minutes somewhere in there.

341
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: You're telling me that's why he dribbled off his foot.

342
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: He was so tired from that.

343
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. And again, if you're gonna give away and Chandler rest,

344
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: just don't do it at the same time, right. I

345
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: mean there's NBA teams that take the view. Well, the

346
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: Lakers do this with Lebron and Luca. They're like one

347
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: of them's always on the court, So why don't we

348
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: do that?

349
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. Substitution pattern have puzzled me ever since

350
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: Pope got here.

351
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: One person writes, please ask Ryan to defend his position.

352
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: He made a pronouncement yesterday about Jasper. He's now minus

353
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: thirty four in his last two game.

354
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talked about ituring the break, not Jasper's best performance.

355
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: And what are you gonna do, mister stand on a soapbox.

356
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: I still think he's an NBA player waiting to explode.

357
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 4: It just he's not not figured it out right now.

358
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: Would you what would you do if you were if

359
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: you were the coach, would you play him?

360
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 4: I think you got to play him a little bit.

361
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: But when he's when he's hurting like he has the

362
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 4: last couple of games, it's tough to get him on

363
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 4: the floor.

364
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, when he's knocking.

365
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: Down shots and he made a couple of good passes,

366
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: you know, I think that's what Pope was talking about.

367
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 4: I think he provided a spark offensively, but he's such

368
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 4: a liability defensively it's hard to leave him out there.

369
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: You know that those guys just need to get in

370
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 5: with four good players around him and just survive a

371
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 5: few minutes to give the guys the break. I agree,

372
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: they don't need forty minutes. Guys do need to sit

373
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: for a minute. So just get Johnson in there with

374
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 5: o Way and Chandler. Give Aberdey a little break. Johnson

375
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 5: just that'll be the main character.

376
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: I actually think that's exactly right. I think Johnson should

377
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: play when Aberdeen is out. I think what happened last

378
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: night is they were taking Johnson in for oh Way

379
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: and then I don't think you got enough well either.

380
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: Way, just as you said, having all the bench guys

381
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 5: in together doesn't do them any favors. Just try to

382
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 5: slide them in one at a time for a guy

383
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 5: and get a few minutes to spell Aberdeen, Oway, Chandler,

384
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 5: whoever it is. But when you're putting him in and

385
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: having what john had eight shots, I mean, I don't

386
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 5: know if we need eight shots when he's having an

387
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: off night like that.

388
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, AF. I'm nine to twenty

389
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: two eighty seven one buss reps matt our players don't

390
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: pass the ball. Thirteen assists and thirteen turnovers is ridiculous

391
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: that that's the stat If the game that's the most important,

392
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Georgia had twenty assists and seven turnovers and we had

393
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: thirteen and thirteen. That's you're gonna lose. I'm surprised. You

394
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: look at that surprise. The scores not bigger, you know.

395
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: If it wasn't O Way driving to the basket or

396
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 4: Chandler hitting a three. Our offense did not look good

397
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: last night like they put on they were so being

398
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: so physical, just kind of rattleus on the offensive end.

399
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 4: But my question defensively, it's a second game in a row.

400
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: We've given up many wide open looks at the three

401
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 4: point line, a perimeter defense last two games has been

402
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: this is.

403
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: Just a guess. This is just a guess because I'm

404
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: not in the you know, I'm not in the walkthrough

405
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: or the game prep. Florida's ranked three hundred and fiftieth

406
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 3: in the country and three pointers Georgia was ranked two

407
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety first. So my guess is the game

408
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: plan is let him shoot that. That's my guess, and

409
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: I don't think that's irrational. What I wonder is do

410
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: we just stay with it no matter what's happening on

411
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 3: the court, Like once you see three or four go in,

412
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 3: then don't you have to say, okay, maybe we gotta

413
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: maybe we gotta change up. And it doesn't feel like

414
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: they change up really.

415
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 5: I'll give it to them early in both games because

416
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 5: Georgia especially, they do everything in the room. They don't

417
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 5: shoot threes. Yeah, but you can't just leave them wide open. Yeah,

418
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: like uh Lee early in the Florida game, you're going

419
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: under screens. Maybe there was a game play, but you

420
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: don't leave them ten feet to shoot. I mean it

421
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 5: was just you know, open gym for those guys. So

422
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 5: I think even talking about on the pre show, these

423
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 5: teams have bad percentages because people are guarding them, and

424
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: then Kentucky's just letting them shoot wide open threes.

425
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm gonna act this out with Mario,

426
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: even though the only people that will see it are

427
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: these four people.

428
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 5: Do you mean to film with my phone?

429
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: No?

430
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: No, No, pers need to film this, and this is gonna

431
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: be one of the reasons why you need to come.

432
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: You know, you don't need to film.

433
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 5: Oh, we have a basketball involved.

434
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 3: Let's make this. Let's make this is just for y'all. Okay,

435
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 3: the people at home are just gonna have to visualize it.

436
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: All right, Mario, You're gonna be a guard for Georgia

437
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna play defense for Kentucky, and I'm gonna

438
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 3: show you what drives me crazy. Okay, all right, so

439
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna be guard, I'm gonna be let's say I'm

440
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: Brandon Gars. Okay, now you're a guard. You're faster than

441
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: me in real life. This is actually true. You are

442
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: a little faster than me. I will create. So I've

443
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: gotten switched on you, so I know I might have

444
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: to give you a little space. But here's my argument.

445
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: Now make a move towards you need to get your

446
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: arms up, matok So to go up here and now

447
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: make a move towards me. Brandon Garrison goes like all

448
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: the way back here in Malchai moreno, like like I'm

449
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: gonna and then you've given me one step right and

450
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: you start to shoot and I come flying, but the

451
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: balls already off. We give So I want these guys

452
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: make Mario beat me off the triple. Okay, if he does,

453
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: I got big dudes that can collapse. If he can

454
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: hit that little floater, that's fine, well done. Okay, if

455
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: you can tyrese Maxie it and hit that little eight footer,

456
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: but a wide open three that you know how much

457
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: the white the two is worth two two, you know,

458
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: match that three is worth three three? How much do

459
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 3: you think he practiced the eight foot runner off one foot?

460
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: Probably not a lot. How many open threes does a

461
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 3: player shoot a lot? A bajillion? And I get so

462
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: frustrated our players. We play so far off of these guys,

463
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: so far with trying to stop them from the drive

464
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 3: that we can't get back out and they end up

Speaker 3: Yes, eight five, nine two, eight, twenty two eighty seven

521
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: one person rights, Matt. These players have money, cars, girls

522
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: and phones. Do you think they care about Kentucky basketball?

523
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: It's the phones. Yes, first of all, they've always had

524
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 3: at least the the money cars, girls. But I say

525
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: this every time people are like, in today's era, the

526
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: players don't care. These other teams are doing fine, and

527
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: they've got I mean, think about Duke, They've got all

528
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: of that. Maybe not I went there. Maybe not the girls,

529
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: but the money and the call in the basketball, Like,

530
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: we're not the only school playing nowadays. So these other

531
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: schools are finding a way to win. Michigan winning won

532
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: on the road at Purdue last night by ten.

533
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 5: They're good and they're a big and il team. If

534
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 5: there was a team that was gonna have money problems,

535
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 5: Michigan would be there.

536
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: They're making the most money of anybody. Michigan's probably the

537
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: only team that outspent us. And guess what, it's working.

538
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: So I just I don't buy that. Now, are there

539
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: guys that maybe aren't giving full effort. Maybe, but it's

540
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: not just because they're making making money. It's because it's

541
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: them or the motivation, et cetera. So I just I

542
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: don't buy that these other team works for the other teams.

543
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 4: And really, if we just hit some free throws last night,

544
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: we might be sitting here having a different show today.

545
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: You know, they they didn't play their best, but yet

546
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: they had a chance to win it. The balls in

547
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: Chandler's hands at the end of the game, the balls

548
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: and it'll take his hand at the end of the game,

549
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: and they miss some free throws or they have won

550
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 4: that game last night coming behind for another win.

551
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: We lost three of the last four to Georgia. The

552
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: last time that happened was the twenties.

553
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: I don't remember those games.

554
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 5: Nineteen twenty three.

555
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: The nineteen last time we lost to them at RUP

556
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 3: was Billy Gillespie. Every time any stat goes since Billy Gillespie,

557
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: everybody goes.

558
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 5: Pope's got a lot of sense.

559
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: Billy Gillespie's all right, who's up first? Ship Roger, Roger,

560
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: go ahead, Roger.

561
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 6: No, thanks to take my call, Matt, and I agree

562
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 6: with whatever y'all was talking about while ago. For sure.

563
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 6: On defense, I don't know if they don't know how

564
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: to play defense. But anyway, what I really want to

565
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: they have talked about is the first half, oh way

566
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 6: was hot as all get out. Yes, I mean, he

567
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 6: was putting us up eight points, and what's he doing?

568
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 6: Pope takes him out, puts Johnson in, and he's in.

569
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 6: A commentator said, what's he doing? Taking me out? Putting

570
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 6: him in? Always said that. And then he went down

571
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 6: eleven and they was up three. Then he decided to

572
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 6: call time out.

573
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: After that dirt, Yeah, that was that was too late.

574
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: On the time out. By the way, you're exactly right.

575
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: They they went on a seven oh run to cut

576
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: an eight point lead to one, and Pope let him

577
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: keep playing, and then they scored four more and next

578
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: thing you know, uh, it's it's it we're down three.

579
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: You're right, that was a that in my opinion, well,

580
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: he took He would say he took him out because

581
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 3: it's hot. Yeah, the numbers say get rest, and you

582
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: and I are right agree, that's not what you do.

583
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 6: If he leaves him in, we're up sixteen, another ten

584
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 6: minutes or five minutes, and then we're gonna we got

585
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 6: to we could blow him out maybe, but no, he's

586
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 6: done this like four times. We lost every game.

587
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate everything. I'm with you. I'm with you.

588
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: And then at the end of the game, Aberdeen's hot

589
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: and you take the butt of his hands. I mean,

590
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: I you know, numbers people will tell you the idea

591
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: of people getting quote unquote hot isn't true, but when

592
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: you watch games, that's I don't I don't agree with that.

593
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: Chandler was hot from three, get him more shots, like

594
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 3: when he's hot, go. I mean, I would say a

595
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: Chandler three is about the shot Chadler opened three, he

596
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 3: might be my favorite shot this team can take.

597
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 5: Oh the run he's on since the Vandy game. It's

598
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: five games now, it's like twenty for thirty three or

599
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 5: something from three. It's insane. But to the point sticking

600
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 5: on taking out Oh Way, you're up eight, as the

601
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 5: caller just said, push that thing up, and I don't know,

602
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 5: maybe give Way a rest in the second half when

603
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 5: you're up by fifteen in the games out of reach,

604
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: let him sit the last few minutes. Like when you

605
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 5: have that momentum and you're up eight early in the half,

606
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 5: keep pushing it. See how big that lead can get,

607
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 5: and worry about the rest when you're up even bigger.

608
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: Caller's right too. The camera did catch Oway when they

609
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: took him out. He could read his lips like really,

610
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 4: like he was cooking.

611
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: So clearly he didn't need a rest. If he's like really, yeah,

612
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: you know, what is it? John bon Jovi said, Shannon,

613
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: I'll sleep when I'm dead, right, No, yeah, he said

614
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: that was that bon job that said that he might

615
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 3: not have been bad name. Yeah, yeah, I don't think

616
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: that was. I wasn't thinking. If you'll give love a bad.

617
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: But she's a little runaway.

618
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I was thinking more of these alive. Okay,

619
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: but again that those are not the slogans. He also

620
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 3: said I'll lay you down in bed Roses. That doesn't

621
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: have anything to do with his game. This game I'm

622
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: talking about when he said I'll sleep when I'm dead.

623
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: Well, like we just said, he always was cooking at

624
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: that point, and you only had two offensive threats to

625
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: first half all way drive Colin three.

626
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: That was it.

627
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 4: There was no other offense to generate. Gotta leave him

628
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: out there, man, you gotta win the game.

629
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 3: It's, by the way, the same two guys kill us

630
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: every year, som Toe and Blue Cane.

631
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: I can't stay in Blue Blue Cane knock off of

632
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: like a independent wrestler.

633
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: It does if the Blue Cane sounds like the Kentucky

634
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: version of the wrestler cane.

635
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: He comes out and he has blue fire. But was

636
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: a monster though. That dude's a freak inside. I would

637
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 5: have loved watching him a Kentucky. I mean, he his

638
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 5: rebounding numbers weren't huge, but he's just so physical in there.

639
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: When he got the biggest rebound and game, I mean,

640
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: that was that was a huge That was the game Roy,

641
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: Who's next? Jake in Florida? Jake, go ahead, Jake.

642
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 6: When I'm Matt, it's pretty indicative. Pretty crazy, how indicative

643
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 6: our our exhibition games were as.

644
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: Far as the high at Purdue and then the lower Town.

645
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Good point some of our games this season.

646
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 4: I went back and listened to the to the Purdue Show,

647
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: the postgame show, and it's pretty funny, uh, what you

648
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 4: were saying on there.

649
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't don't bring it up now. I'm sure I

650
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: was way too happy after that Purdue game, and I

651
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 3: learned my last and next year, if we win an

652
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: exhibition game, I'll go, well, you know, we'll see.

653
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 5: That's all I got.

654
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: Maybe appreciate it. Uh. You know, when Mark Pope was hired,

655
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: I said this on this show very a few times,

656
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: because I watched Pope a lot at b y U.

657
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Why he had weird He would beat really good teams, yeah,

658
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: including on the road, and then he would lose to

659
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: people he had no business losing.

660
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 4: To, often at home.

661
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: So I remember he beat Kansas and Lawrence on a Monday.

662
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: I told you, they don't lose on Monday. I think

663
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: Mark beat him on a Monday one, and then he

664
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 3: went home and lost at home to Central Florida, and

665
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: that has played itself out drew here as well.

666
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were kind of warned that that's what he

667
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 5: could do, and I don't I guess we all just

668
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: got excited. Well, it won't happen at Kentucky. This is Kentucky.

669
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: But that's what we're looking at right now through almost

670
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 5: two full seasons.

671
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: See, I wonder if I'm him, don't you sit and

672
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: want like, look at well, why does that happen?

673
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 5: You'd think for guy that's so into the data and

674
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: studying everything.

675
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: Why is it that I have that? Because he has

676
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: this is a pattern over both of his coaches. Why

677
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: does why? Why is this what plagues me? You know?

678
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker had a really good article yesterday. He's back

679
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: on college basketball. He's writing for twenty four to seven Sports,

680
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: and he basically looked at Mark Pope what the people

681
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: his friends said about him this year, and they all

682
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: said the same thing. They were worried about him early

683
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: this year in terms of what he was saying. Apparently,

684
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: Rick Patino not only called him, Ricko called him and said,

685
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: what the hell is wrong with you?

686
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 5: He even called name.

687
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: He even called him the name. He was like, stop

688
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: being a blah blah blah, and he was like, stop

689
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: getting in front of the media and whining and like

690
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: I give Rick credit. He was like, stop acting like

691
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: you know. He reminds me of the scene in Godfather

692
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: when when Marlon Branto snaps him and go smacks even

693
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: go snap out of it.

694
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: I have yeah, I saw them, I saw the Godfather.

695
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: Who did he smack his son?

696
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 4: No, his co ort, coworker, No, I don't remember. Keep

697
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 4: guessing his dog.

698
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: That would be bad. He didn't smack his dog. No,

699
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: he smacked his uh what was it his god cent

700
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 3: or whatever. That this the lounge singer from Vegas, remember

701
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: he was he needed a part in the movie and

702
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: he was like Godfather in my career everybody anyway, and

703
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: he said, snap out of it. Be a man.

704
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 5: Patino did that to Pope.

705
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: Pope kind of I think got a smack from Patino.

706
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: He was the Pope was being the Vegas lounge singer.

707
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: We can't talk like that about Pope as Patino can.

708
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: But during that time we were saying, it feels like

709
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: he's hiding under the table.

710
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, like he's the one that should be sticking his

711
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 5: chest out, and he's had a couple.

712
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: Of post games that made me uncomfortable.

713
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: I thought we were gonna get that last night at.

714
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 3: A Michigan State game, and then I think it was

715
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: the Missouri game. There were a couple of those where

716
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: I was like, Man, are you good?

717
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 4: I really was, Yeah, what's wrong with you?

718
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: Man? Yeah?

719
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 5: So like, we're scared. We need you to tell us

720
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: not to be scared. You're in the back of the line,

721
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 5: hiding behind us, and you're the coach. Where's the conference?

722
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: I said, I thought we're gonna get that. Mark Pope

723
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: last night. It was such a bad loss at home.

724
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,200

734
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: you sorry, here you go. I knew bon Jovi said

735
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: that a five nine twenty two eighty seven one person right,

736
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: a Texas machine. No wonder our coaches don't want to

737
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: come on your show after loss. You guys trash them? Well,

738
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not trashing them. I'm giving you my opinion.

739
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: And uh, I think they'll come on the show. But

740
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes they stop. And that's I mean, this

741
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: goes back to my view. You're at Kentucky, man, You're

742
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: getting paid a lot of money. If you can't handle it,

743
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: nobody's making you coach here.

744
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 4: Mark Pope looked you in the eyes and said, when

745
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: things aren't going well, I want.

746
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: You to be critical. He looked me directly in the

747
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: eyes and said, when we lose, you should blast me.

748
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 3: That's what he said. Yep, and I appreciate it because

749
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 3: he's right now. I don't I don't think I blast him.

750
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: But like, that's this job. And if it means that

751
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: a coach doesn't come on here, so be it. Like

752
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't you want me to come on

753
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: here and say, yesterday was good. Hey, we losing the

754
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: Georgia at home. That's no big deal. You know. One

755
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 3: of our players was my sixteen and after the game

756
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: you said you need to play more. Makes sense to me, coach, Like,

757
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you want me? What do you

758
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: want me to do? You want me to have like

759
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: be real or not? You know, I mean the easiest

760
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 3: analogy for me is politics. There are accounts you can

761
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 3: follow that anything. Your guy says, Boy, he's brilliant, But

762
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: like that's not the real world. So I mean, that's

763
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: just how I am. But I I think Mark Pope

764
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 3: will come on here at the end of the year.

765
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he has any grudge. But if he

766
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: were not going to then you still have to be

767
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 3: honest with the true right.

768
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: We're fans. That was not good. Georgia has two wins

769
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 5: in a month. It's Kentucky lsu. I mean, what do

770
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 5: you want us to say? That's basketball? Grew up watching.

771
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 3: They lost it home at home to Oklahoma by sixteen

772
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 3: last week, and then they came in here and beat us.

773
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 5: They have four wins in Lexington since nineteen twenty three.

774
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 5: We're gonna be a little shocked and disappointed when it

775
00:35:59,440 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 5: happens again.

776
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: Now, the one thing we don't have is a jerk

777
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 3: for a head coach. Did you hear Mick Cronin last night?

778
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 4: I heard of you, but I heard your teasing it.

779
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 3: So here's the backdrop of this. Xavier Booker played at

780
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 3: Michigan State last year, took a bigger nile to go

781
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: to UCLA this year. This was his return to Michigan State. Okay, okay,

782
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: so he's he's playing for UCLA. Michigan State just runs

783
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Ucla out of the gym during the game. The student

784
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 3: sex and section. Every time he does something bad and

785
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: apparently he played poorly, they just start chatting Booker. Booker

786
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: not the most creative chant, but you know, trying to

787
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: like get at the kid. So a student reporter for

788
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: Michigan State ask a what did you think of the

789
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 3: student section chanting? Now I'm not saying that's Woodward and

790
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: Bernstein journalism, but it's a reasonable.

791
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 4: Question, right, such if he thinks it have caused the

792
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: difference to his performance.

793
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: Especially if he didn't play well because of it. Two

794
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: points he had two point. So Cronin is doing his

795
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: press conference. If you haven't seen the video, he's not

796
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: even looking at the guy who asked the question. He

797
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 3: has like his shoulder to him. And then this is

798
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: one of the jerkier things I've ever seen someone do

799
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 3: to a reporter, especially when it sounds like it's a

800
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: student reporter.

801
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 7: Go ahead in the student section, channing Hooker's name, I

802
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 7: could give a rat's ass about the other team student section.

803
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: Overall the way that, I would like to give.

804
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: You a kudos for your worst question I've ever even asked.

805
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 5: All Right, did you like.

806
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 3: You should take it? Do you really think I care

807
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 3: about the other.

808
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 5: About you are?

809
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 7: Come on, dude, yes you were. Everybody's standing here listening

810
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 7: to you. Everybody this is on camera, they can hear you.

811
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 7: I answered the question. I could give a rat's ass

812
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 7: about the other team student section.

813
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: I coach you.

814
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 7: I don't care a Michigan State students who cares?

815
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 3: What a jerk? Wow? Okay, So it's one thing to

816
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 3: say I don't care about the student section. Fine, if

817
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 3: that's your answer, fine, But then he comes back and says,

818
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 3: that's the worst question I've ever heard, and the kid

819
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: apparently says I'll take it, and then he goes, yeah,

820
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: you'll take it. B'ber berber burr, still.

821
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: Not really looking at him.

822
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: By the way, that's a big part of Addie. He

823
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: comes back and he goes, you know you're burb berber

824
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: berber bluh. And then the kid responds, he goes, you

825
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: raised your voice at me.

826
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 4: That's where he crossed the line right there, I felt like.

827
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 3: And he didn't raise his voice. He didn't raise his voice,

828
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: and he and and then he goes, I answered your question.

829
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: I don't care about the student section. No, you answered it,

830
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: and then you kept yapping at him. I was saying

831
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: last night, if I was a student when this happened,

832
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 3: I would have sat there and probably I probably wouldn't

833
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: have been as confident as that kid was. But if

834
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: he did that to me now, I'd be like you,

835
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, you little And if he did it to

836
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 3: one of our ks r college kids, like I'd be,

837
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: I'd be even madder.

838
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 8: Who do you think you are? Just these college coaches

839
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 8: are such jerks. They think they run the planet. And

840
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 8: then everybody should back you are, Mick Cronin. You've never

841
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 8: won anything.

842
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: What have you done? You've never done anything? And it

843
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: was a reasonable question. You're just embarrassing this, like, you're right,

844
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: he didn't even raise it.

845
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 5: I looked at everybody else like write, it's no video.

846
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 5: Look at him kind of like it's like, yeah, it

847
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 5: is on video, Mick, we can see it.

848
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: You're gonna be the one that looks like the video

849
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 3: does exist, and you're the one that looked like.

850
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 4: A video is gonna show you tried to bully a

851
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: college kid. A college reporter asking, I.

852
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: Know you are, but what am I?

853
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 5: That's what he should have voicing me, I would I

854
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 5: understand as a student, I would have had a hard

855
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 5: time not being an asspec because.

856
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: I was just way over the line. I agree, did

857
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: you well? I have strong stance word bully.

858
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 5: So make if you can put your little man syndrome

859
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 5: aside for one minute and answer my question.

860
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he doesn't even look at him, Shannon, doesn't

861
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 3: you ever saw the video? Don't you think he looks

862
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 3: like a jerk? Oh, he is a jerk.

863
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: He's the angriest little man in college.

864
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: But he is just the angriest little elf. Yeah, hello,

865
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 3: angry elf? All right, who's next? Sean? Sean?

866
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Sean, quick question, too, little nuggets.

867
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: If I can at seventeen and nine and eight and five,

868
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: do we back off of they're a second half team

869
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 3: or are they a second half team and they're just

870
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: not that good. Well, I don't I appreciate the call.

871
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: We're not that good. I mean we're not We're not bad,

872
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: but we're not good. We're kind of in the you know,

873
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, what's a team that's perpetually just over

874
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: the bubble. What's a team that's like always a seven

875
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 3: to ten seed. It feels like for the last decade,

876
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: Michigan State has been that lot.

877
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 5: I would take, I would take their scenario, but.

878
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like it feels like they've

879
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 3: been that quiet. I mean, they used to be better

880
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 3: than that, but it feels like they've been that lot

881
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: over the last few years.

882
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 5: I haven't told Ryan last night, I got my guard

883
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: up big time with this game because I just felt

884
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 5: like we won some we weren't supposed to, and eventually

885
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 5: that average, you know, he gets back to the mean.

886
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 3: But I mean, this is the kind of team that

887
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 3: could go to Auburn and win Saturday easily, you know,

888
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the kind of team that could

889
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 3: go when at A and M and you're.

890
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 5: Like, what I think Kentucky's backcourt really turned a corner.

891
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 5: Chandler Aberdeen in away, getting back to for him and

892
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 5: moreno is better. But outside of those four, I mean,

893
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 5: guys have good games, they come and go. Diabate is Diabate,

894
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,959
Speaker 5: but it's kind of like if any of those guys

895
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 5: don't have a good night, you're in trouble. You're kind

896
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 5: of relying all four of those to play.

897
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: Well.

898
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 5: Yes, we have four guys that with Diabate going and

899
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 5: getting every rebound.

900
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: I have four guys that you can count on. And

901
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 3: then we have a Diabate who I think you can

902
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 3: count on, but is an offensive dout.

903
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, he goes and get It's that free throw rebound

904
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 5: that saves you a game.

905
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: So there's like five guys you know what you're gonna get.

906
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: And besides that, it's kind of like, well, who knows,

907
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: hope somebody brings it. Yeah, who knows? And you're right,

908
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 3: be nice to have a former All American Big Guy

909
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 3: lottery pick. Yeah,
