00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: to his best friend, will Sein, we do want to

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: go to your take on the basketball game. You were

51
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: there last night at Roperina. You've covered the catch now

52
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: for several years.

53
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 5: He slept less than us somehow?

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: Would you said he got four hours sleep last week?

55
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: I got about four hours. Yeah, I stay up a

56
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: little bit going through some film. You know, I don't know.

57
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: Why would you want to rehash that last night?

58
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: Oh?

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: Because I was coming on here. I wanted to be

60
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: able to see some parts of the game. But yeah,

61
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: it was not a good night, Ryan. I'm not feeling

62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: too good today, not too feeling too good about the

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 4: rest of the season. But you know, am I crazy

64
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: for thinking maybe maybe they can win the next three

65
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: non conference games?

66
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 6: I'm crazy, right, No, they can't. Okay, that's the optimism

67
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 6: we need. I was being too negative. You stick with that,

68
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 6: all right? You're going to Nashville? Yeah, I do out

69
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 6: there together.

70
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: They've done well when I go to Nashville usually.

71
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 5: How's that? Uh, you don't want to answer that.

72
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: What was the question? Sorry?

73
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: How do they do in Nashville when you're there?

74
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, man.

75
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: We haven't been to the weekend of the SEC tournament

76
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: in its true five years, so it can't be doing

77
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: that well.

78
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 4: No, and they lost to Vanerbilt last time I was

79
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: there in football and in basketball, so well.

80
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Obviously, the big talking point today is the ten minute

81
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: drought where they could not get a field goal. They

82
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: finished the game two of sixteen from the field. What

83
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: went wrong?

84
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: Well, I'll just say this. We are shooting twenty seven

85
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: percent from three against teams with the pulse. It was

86
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: our fears going into the season, right we were. We

87
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: didn't sign the shooters that we went after. You, Colin

88
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: Chandler's your best three point shooter right now, he's your

89
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: best shooter. What how many threes you take last night?

90
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: Two to over series? Yeah?

91
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Over two?

92
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: That's I mean, it's all of our fears coming to

93
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: fruition this team. To me right now, it feels like

94
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two to twenty three again, it feels like,

95
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: you know you got you got this one of the

96
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: stars back of the a potential player of the year,

97
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: and it'll take away, much like with Oscar and then

98
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: it I don't know, man, Like I think the biggest

99
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: non conference when they got there was Michigan, and it

100
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: feels like you're kind of I'm reliving that one. I

101
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: feel like I'm reliving a lot of you K seasons

102
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: here lately. I mean, just injuries piling up. I win,

103
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: Will Kentucky be dominant again? Like That's what I'm waiting for.

104
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: I'm not asking for it every single season, but I

105
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: need it. I need Kentucky to be one of the

106
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: top four or five teams again like that. That's Kentucky basketball.

107
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: And I'm feeling like right now, the standard over the

108
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 4: last eleven years is that we could be really good,

109
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: but we're not really ever great, and I'm getting kind

110
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: of tired of that.

111
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 5: You're not wrong.

112
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 6: You mentioned how they had Oscar that year, and I'm

113
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 6: not trying to say this is Oscar. But one more

114
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 6: bright spot is think God Malaca Marino has turned into

115
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 6: something his fresh year, right I did not expect him

116
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 6: to play that much. Honestly, I watched him at a

117
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 6: high school high school game, and he looked good. He

118
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 6: was still very and I just wondered how that would

119
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 6: translate to college. But my god, what would they look

120
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 6: like if he wasn't playing the way he's been playing,

121
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: because he's been pretty steady, especially since taken over in

122
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: the starting five. He was the only one that wanted

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: to rebound last night, and then, as we mentioned the

124
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 6: first hour, made those two big free throws that I

125
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 6: was hoping it would be a little more meaningful than

126
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 6: they ended up being. But thank god he's playing well.

127
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 6: I mean, they at least have a post presence in there,

128
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 6: one of them while waiting for Quaintness to get healthy.

129
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: And we mentioned this, you know, Pope ran with him

130
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: those five guys most of the second half. Yellovich, Marino, Chandler,

131
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: Otega and Aberdeen. He ran with those guys. Trent cam

132
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: Brandon Garrison did not play second half of them. Played

133
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: very little. We need more Yellovich. I know in practice

134
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: he keeps messing up and Pope makes some run stairs. Okay,

135
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: that's fine. Whatever put him in the damn game like

136
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: we saw last night how he could guard Caleb Wilson

137
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: highlights of the game. That's one of the toughest matchups

138
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: we'll see this year. I mean that that kid's legit.

139
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 5: We saw that fancy turn around he had late.

140
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 6: I mean, he could do some special things and for

141
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 6: the most part, Yellowvitch Garden really well. He'll rebound. Still

142
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 6: isn't hitting the outside shot, but I think it's in him.

143
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: Maybe if he gets out of there and gets comfortable,

144
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 6: gets more minutes. So I know everybody wants to do

145
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 6: about tay Back and that's a weird situation itself, but

146
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 6: I'm like, just put Yellow Bitch in more of him, please.

147
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: So another analogy I came up with. I felt like

148
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: when they during that stretch, they started playing like they

149
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: were behind. They actually had to leave, but they were

150
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: playing like they were behind, coming down, rushing shots early

151
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: in the shot clock, taking taking a bad shot. Do

152
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: you agree with that or not?

153
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this looks like like I said that

154
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two twenty three team where it's just kind

155
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: of like five guys playing pickup ball out there. I

156
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: went back last night and watched that video. The video

157
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: that kind of sold me on on Mark Pope that

158
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: YouTube video from Hoop's Vision where it shows that Kentucky

159
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 4: or shows Byu flying down the court one two passes

160
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: and pulling from three. This this is not the offense

161
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: that I was sold, Like the offense I've been seeing

162
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: in some of these games is not. And I will

163
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: grant you like it will look different when Jalen Lowe's

164
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: out there. But I was told after the Michigan State

165
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: game that you can't build this around one player, So

166
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: then it feels like we kind of did. You're right,

167
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: and that's kind of that's frustrating.

168
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 6: And after last year when you saw what happens when

169
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: your guard gets hurt, I mean you never should have

170
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 6: just had one ball handler to begin with. I mean,

171
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 6: we don't want the injury to happen, But after you

172
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 6: just saw it last year, you should be the team

173
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 6: should be built better to handle it, especially with the

174
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 6: investment made and all the advantages. Kentucky has to just

175
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 6: be like, well, our guard's hurt. I guess that's it.

176
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 6: I mean, that should be how it goes.

177
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: Shannon, Is is it as simple as that they built

178
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: this team around Jalen low He was going to be

179
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: your leader, your point guard, and now with him out,

180
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: they've just been in a spiral that it can't recover from.

181
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: I think I think that's a lot of it.

182
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: But at the same time, we also heard about how

183
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: deep this team is and we're not seeing it right now,

184
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: you know, like the lineup last night that they put

185
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: out there. I don't have any confidence that if that's

186
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: the lot we have to stick with for the rest

187
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: of the season.

188
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: I do not have very.

189
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: Much optimism at all moving forward. So they've got to

190
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: get healthy.

191
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: The other big stat last night's Steven twenty offensive rebounds

192
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: for North Carolina twenty two second chance points.

193
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's where Modiabate helps, right, I mean, that's

194
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: where you'd like to you'd like to have had him,

195
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: but it you know, and JQ obviously, But those two

196
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: guys don't really fix for me. What is my biggest concern?

197
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: Because I thought, like, defensively, I mean, Kentucky played all right,

198
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: they held him to sixty seven points. I think that

199
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: if you hold him to sixty seven, regardless of how

200
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: many offensive rebounds. Now, I mean, you only get thirteen

201
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: threes off, I guess you could contribute, contribute some of

202
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: that to they stole twenty possessions from Kentucky or just

203
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: you know, from getting the offensive offensive boards. But I've

204
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: been concerned about the shooting since the summer, and I

205
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: don't know, I just felt like, I know you guys

206
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: have talked about it, but it felt like maybe an

207
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 4: overcorrection happened in the roster construction or you just missed

208
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 4: on the guys, so you kind of it kind of

209
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: just ended up being this way. But I felt like,

210
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: last year's team, do you take out the injuries, they're

211
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: top five to eighteen? Am I wrong?

212
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 6: No, not at all. I'm thinking back at last year's team.

213
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 6: I miss Amari just fast and how much motion was it?

214
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: Even when they were hurt, they would still move on offense.

215
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 6: It looked like the way Pope wants to play. This

216
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 6: team just gets stuck and the ball gets stuck and

217
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 6: they just started looking at each other. And that is

218
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: not at all what Mark Pope is why he's here.

219
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 6: That's supposed to be the advantage, not a disadvantage on offense.

220
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: You know, you're the biggest football fan of any of us,

221
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: but we brought you here for one reason. Will william

222
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: Stein's like your best friend. You're just your best friend.

223
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: You guys, we'll slip in bunk beds. No, we told

224
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: the story of the pregame show. You and will William

225
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: Stein played on a baseball team and you were sixteen

226
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: years old together the Louisville Lumbers.

227
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: Louisville Lumber.

228
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you wore the jersey last night to the game.

229
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: Did you show it to Will Stein? Yeah?

230
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 4: I was actually walking over the student section and looked

231
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: in front of me. I heard certain somebody say, hey, Steve,

232
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: and so my dad's name is Steve Peaks, so he go,

233
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: Will's gonna call me Steve. But I but when I

234
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: had to apply for jobs later on, they got real confusing.

235
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 4: Apparently I was trying to get money out of the

236
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 4: bank or something like that, and so they had to

237
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: put Steven. So and I'll go by Steven. But I

238
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: was doing by Steve in high school. So I hear that,

239
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: and he showed him the jersey and I got that.

240
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: I'm video put it on my Twitter. It was because

241
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: it's pretty cool.

242
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 6: Did you ever think you would your childhood friend and teammate. No, Like,

243
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 6: you know, it's already weird that he's what he's thirty

244
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 6: six years old. Yes, me, me, I've never felt older

245
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 6: than being old real the coaches that I cheer for,

246
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 6: of the team that I cheer for.

247
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 5: But what's your brain like? You go to these press conferences.

248
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 6: You've been going to Stoops and cow and Pope and

249
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 6: you name it for years, and now you're gonna be

250
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 6: set up the tripod waiting for your Louisville lumber short

251
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 6: stock to come out and do an interview.

252
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: That's it's so weird. I've had so many people text

253
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 4: me and ask me like the same thing. How how

254
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: strange is it that it's not even just somebody who's

255
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 4: our age. It's somebody I grew up playing sports against

256
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: and was on his team for you know, a couple

257
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 4: couple of years. So yeah, it's gonna be really, really weird.

258
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm so excited. I'm excited for today. I

259
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: need to here will say some inspiring stuff to pick

260
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: me up. So hopefully he's gonna he's gonna deliverate for.

261
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 6: You all obviously went your separate ways. He went and

262
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: did all the football you went. You went to Murray

263
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 6: out of high school, probably hadn't stayed in touch a lot.

264
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 6: But I mean you know him and what he's like,

265
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 6: what kind of guy are we getting with Will Stein?

266
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: That he's like such a good guy, Like he's he

267
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 4: is a really good person, but he's a he's a

268
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: competitor and a winner. Like wherever that dude goes, he wins.

269
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: Like you know, he was at Trinity, played a quarterback

270
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: for his senior season, led him to a state championship,

271
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: had one of the biggest drives in Trinity football history.

272
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: It's the little play action bootleg to tie the games

273
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: and it's overtime got the win there. So Kentucky's getting

274
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 4: a really good guy and somebody who I think I

275
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: fully believe in that he's gonna take Kentucky football uh

276
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 4: to a good place.

277
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: That that uh, that emotion he showed last night when

278
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 6: he was pumping him off, is that his personality or

279
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 6: is that to him just getting kind of caught up

280
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 6: in roperena because that was that he brought to the Lexington.

281
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 4: No, that's that's Will. That's Will. That's that's the that's

282
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: the kind of guy you're gonna get. I am interested

283
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 4: because you all seen the YouTube videos in but kind

284
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: of breaking. Yeah, that's that's the nerdy side of them.

285
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: I love the side we saw last night. Yes, I

286
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 4: think that's what I love. You're gonna get both. You're

287
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: gonna get that that that excitement, and you're gonna get

288
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 4: You're getting somebody, uh, very intelligent that's gonna be able

289
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 4: to break down stuff for us in post games. So

290
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: maybe we'll learn. I think we're gonna learn some stuff.

291
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: Love it.

292
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:20,520

00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: You're so joyous and saying joy joy.

312
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 2: I need some joy in my life. After last night

313
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: with the postgame show and got over at two in

314
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: the morning, you had to blog till four in the morning, Stephen,

315
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: When did you get to bed?

316
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 6: My last text from Steven was it like at three

317
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 6: forty five am. Now, I'm not gonna read it on

318
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 6: there because we're buffalo upset, but we were. We were

319
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 6: firing off text pretty late.

320
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: Well, I do want to read a tweet from one

321
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: of our coworkers, mister Jack Pilgrim. He did the pregame

322
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: show with us yesterday. He's his inn tune with the

323
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: UK basketball as anybody, okay, his finger on the pulse

324
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: of what's going on in UK basketball. This is his

325
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: tweet after the game last night. This is a season

326
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: from hell for Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats. Just

327
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: an inexcusable product, no matter the injury situation, bad basketball team.

328
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 6: We did our rapid reaction pretty late in reperena and

329
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 6: uh yeah, Jack was pretty down down then too.

330
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 5: It was that tweet this morning or last night?

331
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: That was last night?

332
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: Okay, I didn't know if he had slept it off,

333
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 5: but yeah, he had a new one this morning. Okay?

334
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: Was this one this morning? Then the one this morning

335
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: where he's got feeding the duds? Kentucky's got an identity

336
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: crisis with no immediate answers in sight. Is it time

337
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: to shift expectations? I don't how do you answer that question?

338
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel the same way. We were all

339
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 6: pretty down last night, thought about kicking the Christmas tree

340
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 6: at one point. I'm excited for Nashville. I've been looking

341
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 6: forward to this Nashville trip since it was announced. I

342
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 6: bought tickets the moment you could buy tickets, taking vacation time.

343
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna be yapping with you all. I'm not

344
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 6: gonna be writing. I'm gonna be rapid reacting. I'm going

345
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 6: as a fan and I'm so excited, but on the inside,

346
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 6: I'm dead. I'm like, please, I would love to be surprised.

347
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 6: But like, I'm still excited to go and get down there.

348
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 6: But I just thought we would be looking much better

349
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 6: than we are right now heading into that matchup.

350
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: So Shannon, is it time to alter our expectations?

351
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: M Maybe a little bit, because what did we all have?

352
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: What were your expectations going into the season. How many

353
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: losses did you think we would have?

354
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: Six?

355
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: What did most of us pick?

356
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Five, six or seven?

357
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: Because I think if that's the case, there's a good

358
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: chance you got that going into the SEC.

359
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 6: I got tricked a little bit. Stephen recorded my preseason

360
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 6: predictions video.

361
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: The whole thing. Yea too if you had a light

362
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: and a microphone.

363
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: But he asked me after the Purdue exhibition, so I

364
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 6: was in a great place. I don't even remember what

365
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: I said, but it was I don't think I did

366
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 6: forty no, but I'm pretty sure it was one non

367
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 6: conference loss with absolutely whiff on that prediction. But that's

368
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 6: what mine was. I I had high expectations, just like

369
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 6: everyone else. If you open my DraftKings account and go

370
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 6: to open bets, there's Kentucky to win the national championship

371
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 6: sitting right there. I gotta look at it every day

372
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 6: that I go to gamble. I know many people people

373
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 6: were saying final four or bust about Oh yeah, now,

374
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 6: like can we just can we beat a team and

375
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 6: then we'll go from there. We'll figure it out. Let's

376
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 6: get one and then stack a couple and then set

377
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: the expectations, which is just crazy to say in December

378
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: with the opportunities they've already had.

379
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: So Steven, how do you answer Jack's question? Is it

380
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,479
Speaker 2: time to alter our expectations?

381
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I did that after the Michigan State game.

382
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: I think when Mark Pope came out and did that

383
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: press conference, to me, as upset as he was, I

384
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: think that for me that was kind of telling that

385
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: he may see some of the writing on the wall

386
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: with this team and the limitations that it might have.

387
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: Partovic currently has us. He's pretty good at predicting stuff

388
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: he has. I mean he's perfect. But Partovic has Kentucky

389
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: at nineteen and twelve to finish the season. That's a

390
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 4: sixth seed. Oh wow, that would be That would be

391
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: kind of a nightmare scenario considering what the expect I mean, well,

392
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: what are the expectations for Kentucky basketball? Always would know

393
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 4: we moved, we slightly moved the goalpost a little bit

394
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 4: last year to give you know, it's a it's a

395
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: kind of a grace period. But I don't want to

396
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: keep saying this, but I kind of missed last year's

397
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 4: team a little bit. I miss a lot of the

398
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: guys on the team. You brought up a Mario. I

399
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: kind of miss having a Jackson Robinson obviously at Kobe Braya.

400
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, my expectations have have have changed. I still thing, now,

401
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: what if we can get to SEC play January first,

402
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 4: to get Jayalen Low and JQ back. We just reset things.

403
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: We're zero and zero. Let's try to win the SEC.

404
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: We haven't done that since since the world shut down.

405
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: Maybe we can do that again. We haven't won the

406
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: SEC tournament since twenty eighteen.

407
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 5: Can we just get to Saturday?

408
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: That'd be great, babe.

409
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 5: We're doing baby steps.

410
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's try to get that.

411
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: We got the Friday last years Saturday this year.

412
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: It's such a sad conversation. Yeah, Kentucky.

413
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: But you know, going into the season, we all thought,

414
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: looking at this was the perfect roster. We were too

415
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: deep at every position, we were over we had loaded

416
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: in the back court.

417
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 6: What's happened, Well, we assume some guys, I'm crazy for

418
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 6: us to think that they would improve. I mean, whoops,

419
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 6: that's my bad for expecting a returning player to get

420
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 6: a little bit better and not go the other.

421
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: Way, because that was Pope's mantra. Second players take a

422
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: big jump in the second year. That's not happened for

423
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: a couple of guys.

424
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Colin Chandler is the only one that I feel

425
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: like has really taken that that big step. Is there

426
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 4: anybody else? I mean, I feel like Collins is really

427
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: the only one and in and thank goodness he did.

428
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: What would this team be if Colin Chandler didn't take

429
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 4: that massive step, if he was still the guy averaging

430
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: two point seven points per game last year or whatever

431
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: it was.

432
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 6: And Steven mentioned how Pope kind of talks like the

433
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 6: writings on the wall. I do feel like like he's

434
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 6: our leader, and sometimes I think he's more scared than I. Yeah,

435
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: Like it's like we're in Brave Heart and he's in

436
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 6: the back of the line, like, wait, you're the code.

437
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: You get up here and lead us, please and stick

438
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 6: your chests out and have some confidence. Sometimes I'm looking

439
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 6: at him like, oh no, what do you know? Because

440
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 6: you're not exactly making me feel any better. And how

441
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 6: you're explaining this either.

442
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, guys, you were there last night,

443
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: how was the crowd for his post game crowd conference?

444
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 6: First that ever? I mean part of it. It's almost

445
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 6: one in the morning on a week night. So I

446
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 6: don't blame him.

447
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: He just lost.

448
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: Losing.

449
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 6: Didn't know that was the lowest we'll probably ever see. Yeah,

450
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 6: A lot of that was it was very late at night.

451
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 4: I was surprised when we walked out from the player

452
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 4: interviews and there was nobody there. I I mean it

453
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 4: was almost one in the morning, so I kind of

454
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: get it. But I think all the people in the

455
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 4: media were, like, never seen it like this.

456
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 6: If he were to win, I think maybe some people

457
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 6: would tough it out just to show him some support, like,

458
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 6: all right, let's figure this out.

459
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: But being a loss, everybody was quick to get on home.

460
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 2: Shannon on the Avis and Glass text Machine overwhelming disdain

461
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: for Kentucky Joe's new song.

462
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: I know I've been reading the comments too. Maybe we

463
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: shouldn't have doubled down and let him do both.

464
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: Amen, Yeah, yeah, all right? Eight five nine two two

465
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: two eighty seven who's our next collor Mike, Mike, go ahead, mikey.

466
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 7: Guys think I picked up bad time to stop drinking.

467
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 7: But anyway, I was just gonna say, you know, sometimes

468
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 7: I just don't understand Hope, because last night I thought,

469
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 7: you know, everything went wrong on offense. But the hind

470
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 7: an obvious advantage With yellow bitch down alone and you

471
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 7: go ten minutes without a bucket, why not put him

472
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 7: and Chandler on the same side and just let him

473
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 7: play some two man and get him a bucket man,

474
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 7: Because I mean, only is a bucket or two in

475
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 7: that ten minute stretch and we win that game. And

476
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 7: I know it was ugly, but it's better than the.

477
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: Elves appreciate it, man, you know. And like Drew said earlier,

478
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: a lot of those misses we had good looks. They

479
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: just couldn't knock him down. It was a three point

480
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: one time YELLOWVI. It shot from the wing. It was

481
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: dead on, but it came up short. I think because

482
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: these legs. He was tired. He'd been playing so many minutes.

483
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, can't be playing all the those now that that

484
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 8: talk is actually kind of annoying. Most teams play seven

485
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 8: or eight guys, right and that how many guys in

486
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 8: North Carolina played last night like with a lot of minutes?

487
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 4: Because I felt like they how come they had the.

488
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 5: Three guys that played thirty five or more?

489
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: So okay, so where were why weren't their legs given out?

490
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, can't have an answer. I don't know.

491
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 4: You know, Cali Perry, we had a quote a couple

492
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 4: of years ago where he said that doing the platoon

493
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: system made it to where he couldn't recruit for a

494
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: couple of years. Cal not known Fry purplely obviously, but uh,

495
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: you know, you look at some of the guys you missed.

496
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 4: Donovan Dent. I don't know how good he's actually hey

497
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 4: actually is, but somebody Kentucky wanted I guess that was

498
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 4: the first pick plays over thirty minutes you had Lamar Wilkerson.

499
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 4: How many minutes is he averaging? Drew thirty over thirty?

500
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 6: Also, don't look up his three point shooting Sea's shooting

501
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 6: lights out. Yeah, it's best for our mental state if

502
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 6: we just don't look that up.

503
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: And he's coming to rough Brain in a week or so.

504
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and so you look at the guys

505
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: you're missing out on and those are the guys that

506
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 4: are playing. Caleb Wilson, I think playing over thirty minutes

507
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 4: a game. Kentucky did have four guys that played over

508
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: thirty minutes, but that's because you have three starters hurt.

509
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 4: How do how is this happening? How am I still

510
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: reliving Kentucky basketball seasons with all these injuries. I'll say

511
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: it again, thirteen injuries in thirteen months of the Mark

512
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: Pope era. I'm losing my mind.

513
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 6: You include Quaintens on that because I don't give him

514
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 6: quaints Quaintances was already hurt. No, I don't think I

515
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 6: don't think we can throw that one low and whatever

516
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 6: going on with the No he thought the thirty experienced

517
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 6: thirteen injuries. Yeah, thirteen months, okay, because I mean he

518
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 6: built the roster with the guy with the torn aco.

519
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 6: I'm still for it. I think it'll work out. I

520
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 6: think it'll be good. But I don't count that one

521
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: as much as holding this team back because you knew

522
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 6: when you first called the guy how that would play out.

523
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: Let's get another call, Shannon, who we got Crease?

524
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: Crease?

525
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Crease.

526
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, I really am just disgusted with the state

527
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 9: of the program, and I really just think Pope's in

528
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 9: over his head with his job, and I know we're

529
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 9: probably stuck with him next year. The guy can't recruit,

530
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 9: and we're quickly slipping into any Indiana territory in my opinion,

531
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 9: as a program, and it's just disgusting.

532
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Crease. I mean, there's starting some rumblings. They're

533
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: seeing it on social media, people you know, questioning now

534
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: is Pope the guy? The honeymoon I think is definitely

535
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: over because some of the fans are already starting to

536
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: sour a little bit. How how much credit do you

537
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: give him? And how much credit do you not give him?

538
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: At this point?

539
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 6: I also keep thinking he came here, he's the one,

540
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 6: like I'm here to win championships, criticize me, like I

541
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 6: know the standard, we're not moving the standard, and now

542
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 6: it's like.

543
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 5: We are way off course here. If that's the game plan.

544
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: It will help him if he's able to land one

545
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: of the top recruits. That's still a big knock on him.

546
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: He hasn't checked that box. Can you get a top

547
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: recruit that's not a Kentucky kid?

548
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 6: And Steven's right about Resett in January, go win the

549
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 6: SEC and all that can happen when they get healthy.

550
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: But I'm worried about you're gonna have so many losses

551
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 6: in the non conference when we want to get to

552
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 6: our real goal. What kind of seed and what kind

553
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 6: of path are you gonna have in front of you,

554
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 6: because you can't just keep taking losses this early in

555
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 6: the season and expect to be in a good spot

556
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 6: at the end of the year.

557
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: Well, thankfully the SEC is not as strong as it

558
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: was last year, or maybe you can make up some

559
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: ground in the SEC season this year. All right, Well,

560
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,040

599
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 10: There was a clear play in the first apps that

600
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 10: the ball looked like it went off you and see

601
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 10: they called it U and C ball. They immediately score. Meanwhile,

602
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 10: you know you watched the Duke and sport A game

603
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 10: last night. Golden and shi are both used challenges fairly

604
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 10: early in the first half. So I mean, why are

605
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,840

Speaker 2: lexing data.

609
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: Well, they used one in the Michigan State game pretty

610
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: early on a call that really might have actually wanted

611
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: to hold on to it.

612
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 2: Truly, you're right about that.

613
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: Was there a play last night?

614
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 6: Was I need to I need to do my rewatch?

615
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 6: We sit up there on the moon, So a lot

616
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 6: of time we don't get replaced. So a lot of

617
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 6: times those close calls, I mean, you have just as

618
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: much luck go and asking someone sitting outside. So I

619
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 6: don't know particular like close things like that until I

620
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 6: go watch the bright.

621
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 5: What are you laughing at? I didn't mean that. It's

622
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 5: like a complaint.

623
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 6: I'm just saying there are things that happened in the

624
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 6: game where you know, I truly don't know what's going on.

625
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: Steve, you said you've already watched it, especially the second half.

626
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: Why would you want to go back and watch that disaster?

627
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: Because I was coming on here. I wanted to because

628
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 4: we don't know what we're talking about. No, And I well, yeah,

629
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 4: I mean I would. I just, uh, when you're at

630
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: the game. When I'm at the game, I'm roaming around.

631
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: I'm also nervous and pacing, so I don't feel like

632
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 4: when I'm at the games that I'm actually seeing the game.

633
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 4: So usually when I go back and watch it, I

634
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: actually try to figure out what happened.

635
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 6: We're working here, so half the time my nose is

636
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 6: in my computer and I look up and I'm like, well,

637
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 6: hope they show a replay.

638
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: I've missed whatever that was. Why Steven is all over

639
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 5: the place.

640
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: I recommend everybody go watch your rapid reaction. That's that's

641
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 2: worth a watch.

642
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 6: We appreciate the views, but it's not won't be the

643
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: most joyous conversation.

644
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: You'll watched better than rewatch the game. Go watch the

645
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: rapid reaction.

646
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 5: Who's da watch Steven's video? You tweeted it? What your

647
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: s PK?

648
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 4: What is stephen p K?

649
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 6: Because Will really does walk by, he's like Steve and

650
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 6: he pulls up the lumber jersey.

651
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 5: That's a cool video.

652
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: You'll gotta watch that one. All right, here's next Shannon Randall. Randall,

653
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: go ahead, and Randall.

654
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 12: See, I believe that Will Stein's here at Kentucky. We're

655
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 12: really gonna see some good quarterbacks come through his programmer developed.

656
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 12: You know, that seems like a real positive as far

657
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 12: as his you know, tenure as an oct at the

658
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 12: Oregon and uh and another thing about the basketball, you know, uh,

659
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 12: Jack Gibbons was saying on the post game show that

660
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 12: that you know, they need one of these guys to

661
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 12: come into the huddle. And I think it's to take

662
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 12: you all the way that like, hey, feed me the rock,

663
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 12: you know, I mean like kind of be like that guy.

664
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 12: That's because he's supposed to be. I believe the preseason

665
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 12: best player on the team, and I mean, you know,

666
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 12: you need that strong leadership. You need that guy to

667
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 12: just be like, hey, I'm the guy that you need

668
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 12: to try to get the ball to.

669
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 11: In this moment.

670
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 12: I mean, and and I mean I'm not saying ballhog,

671
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 12: but I mean like when you when you zero in

672
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 12: on that one guy and you open up the floor

673
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 12: for these other guys like at the wing or something,

674
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 12: you dish it out to like Conlin Chandler over there

675
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 12: with open three hours a lot of times and seen

676
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 12: that Aberdeen go down and and Taydler's over there wide open,

677
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 12: and and but Aberdeen didn't dish it out. He just

678
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 12: go I mean, you know, it's it's it seems like

679
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 12: something that Pope would definitely be expressive. And maybe that's

680
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 12: what he means in in his most game conference where

681
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 12: he's talking about, you.

682
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: Know, play for each other. Yeah, okay, all right, man,

683
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: appreciate it.

684
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

685
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: You know, Otega is a guy that we saw signed

686
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: to the old Otega and I heard Jack say that

687
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: one time he's got to go tell these guys get

688
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: me the ball. Stephen.

689
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 4: I think you might have even counted how many times

690
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: that happened then than not kicking the ball out to

691
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: your open teammates. Yeah, yeah, it was like four times.

692
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: Instead we're just taking contested.

693
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: During that stretch of ten minutes without scoring.

694
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's guys open. And what we saw even in

695
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: the Purdue game, guy drives baseline, he kicks it out

696
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 4: to the corner. That guy doesn't shoot. He gives up

697
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: a shot, a good shot for somebody who's got a

698
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: better sh shot, better shot. Yeah, and in the Perdue

699
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: game one time it was Jasper Johnson who then got

700
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: to catch shoot wide open and he buried the three.

701
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 4: That's mark Mark Pope's offense. That's the ball movement that

702
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 4: I want to see. That's what we've seen. I mean,

703
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: what we saw last night and what we've kind of

704
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: seen outside of the louisvill game and against these big

705
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: teams is the kind of offense we saw under John Caliparium.

706
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: I wrong, without the the creators, without the without the

707
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 4: lottery picks.

708
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 5: We've brought up.

709
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: Travis Ford has said a few times so our boy

710
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 6: Cutler unfiltered about the team chemistry, and I think some

711
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 6: people interpreted it as like locker room, and that might exist,

712
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 6: But what Travis Ford was saying is the not passing

713
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 6: to your teammate, like they don't have on court chemistry correct,

714
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 6: Like they're not making that extra pass for the easy shot.

715
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 6: And I think that's really showing. Now I've heard him

716
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 6: say that a couple of times.

717
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: So as they go back to Jalen Lowell, they need

718
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: that guy, that strong point guard leading the team out there.

719
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: I think it all goes back to when they lost

720
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 2: him and they just went to tail spin that they

721
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: haven't recovered from.

722
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that is definitely a big part of

723
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: it getting him back. But I mean he wouldn't have

724
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 6: helped with twenty offensive rebounds and effort and just the

725
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 6: three times we've played a team that has any kind

726
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 6: of physicality, the moment we turned the lights up and

727
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 6: get excited about a game that it's like they just

728
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 6: they completely fold. Do they have at least in the

729
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 6: three trials so.

730
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: Far, I'll tell you he would have helped with eight assists,

731
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,239
Speaker 2: nine turnovers last night.

732
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 4: Definitely there, Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. And you

733
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 4: know I was looking at Otega always numbers, he's got

734
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: to get to the free throw line more. Last year

735
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: he was getting to the free throw line. I think

736
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: he had five point three attempts last season. He's three

737
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 4: point three so far this year. Some of that is

738
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 4: just having guys be able to make shots, to spread

739
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 4: the floor so that he can get downhill.

740
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: I think Otega was listening to Drew or Drews. They

741
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: want to go back to the old Otega. Just get

742
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: the ball, immediately go because he did that. He did

743
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 2: that last night better than he's done all season.

744
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 6: Now, he does need the spacing and that, you know,

745
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 6: got to hit the threes all that, but he's still

746
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 6: It was better last night. But he hadn't had that

747
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 6: aggression in that attitude that he had a year ago.

748
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 6: But maybe a light turned on last night, even though

749
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 6: it didn't result in a win, because he he seemed

750
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 6: to have taken a step forward, even though it didn't

751
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: help in the outcome.

752
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: Who's next, Shannon, Let's go to Joe.

753
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: Joe.

754
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Joe. You're on with Steven Peake, Drew Franklin,

755
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,760

00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know, can't tell.

759
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Okay, all right, okay, okay, okay, all right.

760

Speaker 11: Baxball Gang, okay gang.

761
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: The basketball game. Yes, yeah, it didn't go very well.

762
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: We we appreciate phone call. Yeah, I think we're all upset.

763
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: Having a hard time.

764
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: You need it out of that run, Yeah, I think

765
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: so quick appreciate the call.

766
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know where it was going. That's so

767
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: I apologize.

768
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: Shannon's just doing his job over your job. You're cue.

769
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: Let's let's try another with Wayne, Dwayne go ahead.

770
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 9: Yeah.

771
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 11: I think it's gonna have to come. I think there's

772
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 11: a lot of it's gonna have to come from the

773
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 11: players that sell themselves. Like, for instance, somebody like take

774
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 11: a oh Way. You know, they used to back in

775
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 11: the day, thirty years ago, they would they would start

776
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 11: the black Watch like early in the morning and go

777
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 11: in and shoot, and they spend that extra time, and uh,

778
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 11: you know, Coach Patino would always encourage them, get in there,

779
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 11: get your extra shooting in. If you're not shooting, if

780
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 11: you're not shooting at least forty percent from the field,

781
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 11: you need to be shooting. And he tall you look

782
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 11: up and he'd see who's in there. And there was

783
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 11: a direct correlation between the extra shooting and uh, they're

784
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 11: they're shooting percentage and uh, but some of some of

785
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 11: these guys can't even I mean they were missing layups

786
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 11: from writing.

787
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 7: You know.

788
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 11: It wasn't just three pointers. They were shooting it come

789
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 11: over the goal from two feet away. I mean it

790
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 11: was get back threes are awful too.

791
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I don't appreciate the call. I don't

792
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: doubt that they're working and working hard and going in

793
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: and getting extra shots up.

794
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

795
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember I was in we went we

796
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 2: learned this summer, we went through the crafts Inner. We

797
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: were giving somebody a tour and it's ten o'clock at

798
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: night and Colin Chandler's in there shooting, you know. And

799
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: this was in the summer. So I think those guys

800
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: still get in there early on their own time and

801
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: do get their shots up.

802
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 4: We saw from looking in that Joe Craft Center, the

803
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: Noah Art System, what's our ROI on that this year,

804
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 4: But guys were putting in thousands of shots. So I mean,

805
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: I don't think that they think that's the issue.

806
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I don't either. I mean sure we don't.

807
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 6: It's not branded as the breakfast club and some of

808
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 6: the things we've had in the past where they've just

809
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: openly bragged about, Wow, these guys are just always here.

810
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 6: We're not hearing that that much. But I'm not going

811
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 6: to criticize their work ethic. I'm not over there. I

812
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 6: assume they're in the gym. I do think they're trying

813
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 6: really hard. I really do.

814
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: Let's talk about something positive. The UK volleyball team hosting

815
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: first round in the NCA Tournament tomorrow night over at

816
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: Historic Memorial Coliseum. It's the second game of the night,

817
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 2: so it could start anywhere between seven seven thirty somewhere

818
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: in that ballpark.

819
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: First one's a four thirty.

820
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: So if you're not going, if you can't get tickets,

821
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: come here. We'll have it on here at kas Bar

822
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 2: and Grille, kind of like a volleyball watch party. We

823
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: had a great watch party the other night when they

824
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: won the SEC tournament. It was a lot of fun.

825
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: They started winning when Drew walked out of the building,

826
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: told you, yeah, trust me, I won't be here for

827
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: the next one. Drew, stay away me. We want to win.

828
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: So it's tomorrow night. Now. Tonight, the UK women basketball

829
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: team plays on ESPN. They play Miami right down at Miami.

830
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: I have o'clock game a little earlier than we typically get,

831
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 6: so maybe they'll cheer us up tonight. They're on ESPN two,

832
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 6: ESPN two, okay in Miami, but uh, you know, big

833
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 6: night for women's basketball and volleyball tomorrow. I saw Craig

834
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 6: Skinner was on top of the fifth third building promoting it.

835
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 6: He just keeps getting higher and higher. That's the tallest

836
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 6: building in the world. So if they win tonight, I

837
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 6: don't know what he's doing next. Maybe we'll get him

838
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 6: on the moon. Maybe Jeff Bezos can shoot Craig Skinner

839
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 6: in the space to promote the second round. But uh, there,

840
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 6: I guess we have will Stein now. But the volleyball

841
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 6: team has been the only reason to smile very sure

842
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,479
Speaker 6: a few weeks. I'm very excited for them to start

843
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,400

884
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: which I care about more than the game last night

885
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: because people were getting some pushback. You know why he's

Speaker 6: We were pretty committed to the grind and we're we

889
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 6: know this is busy times, but family comes first, especially

890
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 6: while you're having a procedure. Glad it went well, and

891
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 6: if Matt needs to take however long you.

892
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,880

Speaker 4: to hear what Matt had to say, but it kind

898
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,279

899
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: little bit better, validated how I was feeling. So I

900
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,920

901
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,560

Speaker 2: Appreciate your call.

924
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 4: Cole.

925
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 13: I had two quick questions here, one football, one basketball.

926
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 13: I'll start with the football. I think, for first, I

927
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 13: think Will Sein is a phenomenal hire, arguably could be

928
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 13: potentially the best hire so far in college football, maybe

929
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 13: second behind Lane Kiffin if you count that. But I

930
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 13: will say, for a long time now, I've been saying,

931
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 13: even before Stupis was fired, I said, we really need

932
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 13: an offensive minded coach. We need somebody like Sein or Heartline.

933
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 13: And I had always kind of given Brian Hartline the

934
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 13: edge just because he's kind of known for his recruiting

935
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 13: and sending these guys to the NFL, not that Will

936
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 13: sign hasn't. I just don't know as much about his recruiting.

937
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 13: I was gonna say, if you guys, do we know

938
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 13: what happened with Heartline or if he was even interviewed,

939
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 13: And it just made me think of it because I

940
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 13: saw that he's going to be hired at at South

941
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 13: Florida today. And then I had a basketball question.

942
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 5: But okay, about that.

943
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: What's your basketball question, We'll do both of them.

944
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 13: Then, okay, yeah, So I was gonna say, so not

945
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 13: to be negative, I know you're just talking about positivity,

946
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 13: but this question here. I hadn't even thought about this

947
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 13: till this morning. I saw some people saying, you know,

948
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 13: mentioning it on Twitter, just you know, negative fans. But

949
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 13: should we be slightly concerned that Quaintons may not ever

950
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 13: end up playing for US? I know we need him

951
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 13: pretty bad, but you know, with his injury and everything,

952
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 13: I thought maybe if the season's kind of going downhill,

953
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 13: I kind of feel like this has happened to us before.

954
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: All Right, you guys, thank you, Okay, all right, I

955
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 2: appreciate the phone call you take. The Jaden Quainton's question.

956
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 6: First, I don't expect that at all. I know I've

957
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 6: heard people saying he could Shade and Sharpest. Those are

958
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 6: completely different situations. Sharp actually had the benefit of being

959
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 6: a mystery, having never played like he had amazing high

960
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 6: school highlights. He set out and the NBA rolled the

961
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 6: dice top five pick and it worked. Quainten's kind of

962
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: needs to show them that he didn't lose a step

963
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 6: in his rehab because he had good tape at Arizona

964
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 6: State and he blows out his knee and he I mean,

965
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 6: he would still be a high pick. Somebody would take

966
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 6: that chance. But he also can do make himself a

967
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 6: lot of money if he plays and shows that he's

968
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 6: didn't lose a step with that injury and his attitude

969
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 6: has been right from the beginning. I would be surprised

970
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 6: if he doesn't play that.

971
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 5: I don't think. I think they're completely different scenarios.

972
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 2: Steven, since you're will Stein's twin brother, you take the

973
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: will Stein hartline question.

974
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 4: About whether they which which one they reached out to.

975
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's I'll answer for Steven well. Stephen was also

976
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 6: he was one of the first to put it out

977
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 6: there about Stein on the job.

978
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 5: But you won't.

979
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 6: You've Trinity people. I don't know what's going on there.

980
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 6: If y'all just have these like these underground tunnels and

981
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 6: a little bit and talk to each other, yeah, regardless,

982
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 6: it seemed Stein was high on Kentucky's list early in

983
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 6: the processing one and Kentucky was high on Stein's list,

984
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 6: nailed the interview. They might have had a few conversations

985
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 6: with others, but it looks like they got their number

986
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 6: one guy, and and Stein was a quick yes because

987
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 6: he wanted to be here.

988
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: I feel like they hadn't have make contact with Stein's

989
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: people weeks ago. That happens yeah, it should. That happens

990
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: all the time. I think Heartline was a good fallback plan.

991
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: But obviously he took the job to day at South Florida,

992
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: so it all worked out the way it was supposed to.

993
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 6: Ye, we could all live in a fantasy land where

994
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 6: people wait till the portal to make calls. No, they

995
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 6: are coaches talking to players and coaches talking to school

996
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 6: all season long.

997
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 5: We didn't act like that doesn't happen, but that happened.

998
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. You know what I thought was weird is

999
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 4: how they've talked about, you know, how young will Stein

1000
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 4: is and he's can't he handle this being thirty six

1001
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 4: years old? In the SEC. I mean I was looking

1002
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 4: up Jim Bayheim. I know, this is basketball. He just

1003
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 4: hired a thirty one years old. This used to not

1004
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: be so crazy. Well old was Rick Patino when he

1005
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 4: was at Kentucky thirty seven? Yeah, Mike s Seski, these

1006
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: are basketball guys. I know, there were just the easy

1007
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 4: ones for me to look up. He was thirty three.

1008
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he took over a duke, So it used

1009
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 4: to not be that weird, but it's felt like hiring

1010
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: somebody who was in their thirties felt like like, oh,

1011
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 4: we're just hiring somebody straight out of high school. Now,

1012
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 4: Like that's what it felt like. So, you know, I'm excited.

1013
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: Is this the only millennial coach in the athletic department?

1014
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 5: I guess so.

1015
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 4: Uh interesting.

1016
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: I had to think about that.

1017
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 4: It might be, but we.

1018
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 6: Needed the youth. I think it'll be good for him.

1019
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 6: As you saw last night, just that energy. Stoops had

1020
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 6: a style is more go to work, keep your head down.

1021
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 6: Looks like we're gonna have a little more fire with stun.

1022
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: All right, thirty seconds, rapid reaction positive before we get

1023
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: out of here, Drew.

1024
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 6: We're going to Nashville, Western Kentucky's gonna show up, good crowd,

1025
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 6: We'll beat Gonzaga.

1026
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 5: We're beating Gonzaga, Steven.

1027
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna win one of these next

1028
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 4: three games in the don Con and then we're gonna

1029
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: have a good sec run. I think so, Shannon.

1030
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: They didn't score a point in ten minutes and still

1031
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 3: one of the lost bout three defense.

1032
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: Was decent volleyball. Gonna win the title.

1033
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 11: There you go,
