1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: The Cats with a great win in Lexington tonight on

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: a freezing cold day, eighty one to sixty nine. Kentucky

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: goes to three and one in the SEC and now

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: with its fifth win this year against a team ranked

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen. Pretty amazing run for Kentucky. Five

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: and zero against ranked teams. That's the best record of

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: any team in the country. If I'm nine two eight

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: oh twenty two, eighty seven will open it up. As

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: you know, when we do these late nights during the

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: week and SEC play, I really like to hear from

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: you all because it's usually been a long day. But

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: tonight was. I thought, uh, you know, it wasn't the

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: best game Kentucky's played all year, but in some ways

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the more impressive and

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: important wins. And the reason I say that is Kentucky

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: won without playing its best and without in one a

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: different way. Basically, if you go look at the games

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: they've played against really good opponents, they've won them by

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: out scoring the other team. The Duke game was a

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: little strange, but still in the end made plays down

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: the stretch that Duke did not make. Gonzaga. We score

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: in the nineties, We score one hundred and six against Florida.

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: We score in the nineties against Mississippi State. This game,

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: even though we scored eighty one, a lot of that

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: was free throws at the end. This was a game

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: played in the sixties and seventies, and as we've talked about,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if this team could beat a good

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: team in a game that's in the sixties and seventies.

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Well they did, and for me, the story was defense

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: and rebounding. I mean, it's the first time I can

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: say that all year. Offensively, they weren't bad, but they

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: were kind of a notch down from them at their

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: full power. Obviously, started one for eleven from the line,

35
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: shot a lot better after that, but even in the

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: second half, it just didn't feel like the offense had

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: complete flow. But defensively, you know, they really help made

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Texas A and M take the shots they wanted them

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: to take. And what I mean by that is they

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: wanted A and M to take threes. They didn't feel

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: like A and M could make them. They made some

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning, but in the second half they adjusted

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: a little, and A and M just had a hard

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: time getting good looks the entire game. And then we

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: out rebounded A and M. And if if you had

46
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: said to me, you're gonna out rebound A and M,

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: I would have been surprised. And if you're gonna tell

48
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: me you're gonna essentially keep them off the offensive glass,

49
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: I would have been even more surprised. And they went

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: and did it, and I think that makes us win

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: extra special. TEXA. A and M is a tough team.

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: They're physical. Without Wade Taylor, they don't have the explosive

53
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: scoring boost. But it was easily a game that we

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: could have lost if we didn't play tough, and we did.

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: A couple people I thought were especially impressive. For me,

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: the player of the game was Amari Williams. You know,

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about how you know Amari. I

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: don't want to say I've been hard on him, but

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: like his limitations have frustrated me. But tonight I thought

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: he was excellent, rebounded well, he's passed well really all year,

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: and distributed, but also thought his defense was good. He

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: only played twenty three minutes but had eight points in

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: twelve rebounds, three blocks. I really just loved the way

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: he played the entire game. I thought it was it

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: was probably his best performance of the year to me

66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: that we've seen. Jackson Robinson obviously great in the first half.

67
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Fifteen points in the first half, twenty two overall. I

68
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: think he hit the biggest shot in the game, which

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: was the little pump fake three that then became a two.

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of the game, the shot

71
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: that sealed the game. But in the first half, when

72
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Kentucky was really struggling, he ended the first half hot.

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: And when Kentucky had the lead at halftime, after I

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: thought they hadn't played well, I felt really good about

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the game. So, you know, excellent win. Travis Parry six points,

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: two big threes, ten minutes with Butler. You know, first

77
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: of all, Butler got banged up about as hard as

78
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get banged up in a game. I think

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: Billy hurt his shoulder, he hurt his angle, and he

80
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: hurt his knee, and he hurt his face, he got

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: I think he hurt everything in the game. But Perry

82
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: had ten minutes and I thought he did really, really

83
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: well in those ten minutes. Andrew Carr looked a little

84
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: limited just in terms of how he was able to move,

85
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: so other guys came in. Al Minor had really good minutes.

86
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things I promise you that, Like,

87
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: I know, I'm repeating myself, but when one of the

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: things I love about Mark Pope is and it sounds simplistic,

89
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen this in recent years. He sees

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: mistakes and deficiencies and rather than just saying, you know,

91
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: we'll get him in March or we'll cover it up,

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: he works on it. So a huge problem for this

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: team has been boxing out. So what do they do.

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: They create an award for whoever boxes out the best

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: in a game. I mean, Billy, that's awesome. That's the

96
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: one thing this team was deficient at. So they create

97
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: an award. Annsley Almanor wins it the first two times,

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: but the mere fact that they create an award for

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: it says they recognize the problem and they fix it.

100
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: They don't just double down on poor decisions. So I

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: just I love that. It's so refreshing to see a

102
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: coach who is not stuck in his way but is

103
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: actually willing to change and listening to Pope. On the

104
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: post game, he talked about how he A and M's

105
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: weakness was shooting threes, so he wanted to have guys

106
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: shoot threes, but he wanted the right guys to shoot threes.

107
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: And at the beginning a couple of those guys made them,

108
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: but they thought it would even out over time, and

109
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: then it did. And you know, they hit seven threes

110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: in the first eighteen minutes of the game. I think

111
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: I tweeted out at that moment, they're averaging five a

112
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: game in SEC play. Now they have seven. They didn't

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: hit another one, Billy, the rest of the game, is

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: that right? They didn't hit another one. So when I

115
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: tweeted out that they had seven, they didn't hit another

116
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: one the rest of the game. Well that's how you win, right,

117
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: So big time victory Cats. Three and one in the

118
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: SEC doesn't get any easier. Alabama comes in here Saturday

119
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: for what should be an awesome environment. Uh they lost

120
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: tonight at Homed Old Miss. Kind of a surprising result,

121
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: not kind of, definitely a rising result. Old Miss is

122
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: now four and oh in the conference, time for first

123
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: place in the conference with Auburn. Alabama, now that they

124
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: have they have one loss, so they're three and one.

125
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: So the game Saturday, yet another biggie. But I really

126
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: believed You've heard me talk a lot on the show

127
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: about how kind of think there's Tier one, Tier two,

128
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: Tier three, tier four teams, and I kind of thought

129
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: we were in the Tier two and it was important

130
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: we beat those teams. Well, we've now played three of

131
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: those teams with Florida, Mississippi State and A and M,

132
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: and we're three and oh, and that's gonna be huge

133
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: come tournament time, seeding time. You know, maybe Old miss

134
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: is in Tier one, maybe we're in Tier one. We'll see.

135
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: But winning all three of those is big. Now, two

136
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: big results that could be happening right now. Florida is

137
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: losing at home to Missouri. Believe that would be a

138
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: huge upset if it ends like that, every by the way,

139
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: could end up three and one in the SEC. And

140
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the coach's name, but

141
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: a guy at Arkansas is if he's not careful staring

142
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: Ohen four in the conference in the face, they are

143
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: down seven with two minutes to go at LSU. I

144
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: feel like Billy, I'm watching every Kentucky road game in

145
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the last I mean it like it is. It is

146
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: every Kentucky road game of the last three or four

147
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: years besides this one. If they lose this, I mean Arkansas.

148
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they're cooked, but they're pretty cooked.

149
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: If they can't pull us out, chance to go oh

150
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: to four in conference, all right, we'll take a break.

151
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven

152
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: Kats with a big time win against Buzz Williams, who

153
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people were saying to me after the

154
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: after the game they thought looked like Ryan Lemon. Do

155
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: you agree with that? No?

156
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: But there was also another character on the A and

157
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: M sideline who I did not know his name, but

158
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: he looked like a love professor Georgetown.

159
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: He did no, No, he looked like a professor at

160
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: like a Northeastern like liberal arts school like he he

161
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: looked like he looked like an English professor. Jimmy Dyke

162
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: set him up to uh say something, uh to show

163
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: that thing where he does the fouls during the free throws,

164
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: and then he didn't do it. But that dude got

165
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of airplay in his uh nice suit. He

166
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: war but he did look like a professor A five

167
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: nine two oh twenty two eighty seven. We will take

168

00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: to it. Uh, let's see what else is going on

174
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: in in basketball Indiana, they were booing Mike Woodson channing

175
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: fire Woodson tonight at Indiana.

176
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a bad look.

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, I don't want to say I

178
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: told you, but I always thought that Mike Woodson high

179
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: was a terrible hire. Indiana fans crowed it, and in

180
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: the next fifty six seconds there might be another one

181
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: that falls into that mark. I feel bad though, for

182
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: those Indiana fans such usually such reasonable people, right, really

183
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: is that right? Well?

184
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: They you know Kentucky plays him next year, right?

185
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I bet we'll be playing them with a

186
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: new coach at this rate. All right, who's up first?

187
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: Let's start with Travis.

188
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Travis, Go ahead, Travis.

189
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: Hey Man, thanks for taking micall. Shout out to Dave White.

190
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: Driving back to Brookville, Indiana tonight. But I love listen

191
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: to your trends. Are we at a point now where

192
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: if Brea or Jack and Robinson have big games, it's

193
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: almost a guaranteed win or getting close to it.

194
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think Robinson's the key one. Yeah, Butler,

195
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, appreciate the call it is. It's interesting We've

196
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: now beaten Mississippi State and Texas A and M back

197
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: to back, and I don't really think Butler played well

198
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: in either game. So I mean, I still think there's

199
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: a notch of for this team what we've seen. By

200
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: the way, how do we not talk about always dunk Billy?

201
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that goes up there as one of

202
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: the best ones we've ever had, don't you think.

203
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a really really good one.

204
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's tried to jam on people like four

205
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: straight games and not done it. But he got it tonight.

206
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: He got his body tonight. I mean it was that

207
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: was a absolute throwdown, in your face dunk and that's

208
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: that'll be a poster. I mean that, the the video

209
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: is great. The steel frame picture is pretty awesome too.

210
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: You gotta give uh that'll be one one we remember, dude,

211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: he always goes to the room with such authority. Yeah,

212
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Jackson first of all, those officials. They

213
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't have called the technical on the kid from A

214
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and M. And they shouldn't have called it on Jackson

215
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Robinson like that. We do not want to see you

216
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: call technicals unless you have to call. And both those

217
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: technicals were cheap, both of them. They called the A

218
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: and M when first, but Robinson was was too. You know. Yeah,

219
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: clearly though, there's something there. You know, I said that

220
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: today on the pregame show Billy. Something's there with Robinson

221
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: and Buzz. You know, Buzz says the right things, which

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: is what he should do as an adult, but there's

223
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: no there's clearly something there, right, Yeah. Yeah.

224
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: He was at A and M for a year or so.

225
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: He was at A and M for a year, and

226
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, Buzz said, oh, he's a great and I

227
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: that's what he should say. But I had heard Robinson

228
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: had been pointing at this game all year. There's got

229
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to be something there. You don't jaw at your coach

230
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: twice former coach unless unless there's something but good for Robinson,

231
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: nothing better. I mean, Davian Collins right now is playing

232
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: really good in this game against Arkansas against cal I

233
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: think Aaron Bradshaw played really well against US. I think

234
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: guys just have an extra an extra ounce of excitement

235
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: when that when that happens. Who's next, Dawson, Dawson, go ahead, Dawson,

236
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: what's that man?

237
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: Obviously there's a lot of good things talk about tonight,

238
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 5: like Jackson.

239
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 6: Performance to take his dunk and whatever.

240
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 7: But I just want to bring up how cause I

241
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 7: know you mentioned it. I hope I'm not the only

242
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 7: one who was getting up to fit. But Jimmy Dykes

243
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: was unbearable tonight.

244
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna talk a lot about this

245
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow because on a personal level, I like Jimmy Dykes,

246
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: but he was on one tonight, wasn't he like like

247
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, like yeah, I mean he was just kind

248
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: of on one, like what what his car? Creasy thing?

249
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Like whatever language he speaks, I mean.

250
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 7: Speaks listen to his interviews, he speaks English.

251
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 8: And at the end, like I think where.

252
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 7: It was like sending this left, we were up to

253
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 7: speak since he was like he Tooki's for the like

254
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 7: fifteen but.

255
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 8: A lot of time lest like Lamont shoot his free

256
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 8: throws and that was.

257
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: That last free throw that that last time out. My

258
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: buzz was stupid and I don't know why Jimmy took

259
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: up for it like that was that was a dumb

260
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: found fourteen point game. I mean, that's that was dumb.

261
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm with one.

262
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like it's for the future, it's not. You're

263
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 6: down fifty.

264
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 9: This is what playoffs.

265
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: It'd be for the future if it was like six

266
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: or five. Yeah, but when it's fourteen, I'm with you.

267
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: That was ridiculous to me. Yeah, I know, well, I

268
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. By the way, all of you driving home,

269

00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,520

276
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: to go and LSU will go to the line. Missouri

00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: is up four on Florida with four and a half

278
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: minutes to go. Florida was down twenty in that game. Uh,

279
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: trying to scrap their way back. Who's next, Jordan, Jordan,

280
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, Jordan.

281
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 10: Matt Otaga is one of those players. While he may

282
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 10: not be here miss gild or misconsistent, he's one of

283
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 10: those q out of your seats and flex at the

284
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 10: TV players because.

285
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's the only one of those guys we got.

286
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: He's the only one of those guys we got, and

287
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you're right, he does it.

288
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 10: And then I was gonna see, uh, in, who are

289
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 10: your favorite players like that?

290
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: Who?

291
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 10: They may not be your number one or even two

292
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 10: or three guys, the man, when they get to it,

293
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 10: they just get you riling up.

294
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: The first thing that comes to my mind like that was,

295
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: you know Iski Uh, I don't know if I don't

296
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: know if he was ever the best player on the team,

297
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: but he would just dunk in people's faces and he

298
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: would make you, uh, you know, he would make you

299
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: sort of scream and get excited. Yeah, I don't know.

300
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean last year do had a little bit of

301
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: that in him? But but yeah, you're right when he

302
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: definitely like that?

303
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 11: Who?

304
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 10: And then we're we're a game away from four and

305
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 10: non conference, and we're a coach away from ooms four.

306
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 10: That's all I got freaking out.

307
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you can't help but notice it since

308
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: it's happening right here. I mean it is LSU is

309
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: up four with five seconds left, and I don't know,

310
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: did they they calling a fowl here? So I guess

311
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Arkansas is still theoretically in it. But I listen. I mean,

312
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: this was the right it was the right move, and

313
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: it it had to happen. I will tell you I

314
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: did not think on Damien Collins gets the game winning block. Poet, Wow,

315
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: Damien Collins gets the game winning block. I thought it

316
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: was the best move long term. But I'm even I

317
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: am surprised at what's happening this year. I really am.

318
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm surprised at how good Mark's doing. Mark Pop, I mean,

319
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: this team. Buzz Williams said for the game he thinks

320
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: he can win the national championship. You know, I don't know,

321
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: but just that ha beening a conversation is pretty amazing.

322
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: And then what's happening in Arkansas. They're zering four and

323
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: ls she's the worst team in the conference. And the

324
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: thing is, look at that arena, Billy, there's nobody there,

325
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Like everybody's Super Bowl you think if we were there

326
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: is that place packed.

327
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: Lining it around the block.

328
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: They're lying around the block. There's nobody there, so it's

329
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: a dead atmosphere, and they still lose. You know, I

330
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't take Glee and other people suffering,

331
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: but I will say this, if you remember what this

332
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: show was like and what things were like last year

333
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: when we even dared suggest that maybe it was time

334
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: for a separation. To now, I mean, it's pretty amazing.

335
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Who's up next? Thank you? Jack?

336
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: Golkid that Golkie?

337
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, maybe that was although I still,

338
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: how's it go on?

339
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 8: Mat?

340
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: What's going on?

341
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 12: You know, I'm I'm only twenty five, so I haven't

342
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 12: been watching Kentucky basketball as long as most people have.

343
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 12: But I can't remember a team that could be down

344
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 12: eight to twelve points and that you actually feel confident

345
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 12: that they're gonna come back.

346
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 7: You know.

347
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 12: I hate the hate on the other guy, but I

348
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 12: feel like when we were down the last few years

349
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 12: that there was absolutely no chance we're coming back, and

350
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 12: I actually never feel like we're out of the game

351
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 12: with Pope.

352
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't either. I think you're right about that.

353
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I feel like the only game I just never felt

354
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: like we were gonna come back was the was the

355
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: Georgia game. But in general, I agree with you because

356
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: you feel like you're one runaway. I mean, look at tonight,

357
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: We're down for that period of time, Robinson gets hot

358
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: on like a two minute stretch. Next thing you know,

359
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: we're leading at halftime. So I mean, they're with Robinson

360
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: and Brea especially, but even throw in Butler and Carr

361
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: and Perry and the guys that can hit. You know, though,

362
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: with Robinson and Breya, you're one little two or three

363
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: three pointers in a row flurry from being right back

364
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: in the game.

365
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 13: Absolutely.

366
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 12: My only question I have is can you remember a

367
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 12: guy that was more important to a team defensively and

368
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 12: both as a point guard as Walmont Butler is, And

369
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 12: I'll hang up and listen.

370
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: I can't. No, he is the most defensively, he is

371
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: the most important player on the team. Yeah, I don't.

372
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: I can't think of it. One. I mean, Tyler Ewis

373
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: had a little bit of that, where like if he

374
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: didn't play defense, you'd wonder who would. But no, he's

375
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: hugely important defensively. But this whole team played well defensively.

376
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Now today I mean, I mentioned Amari. I thought Away

377
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: played really good defense. I thought Robinson played good defense.

378
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: But when they crashed the glass, you know, Almanor rebounded well, Garrison,

379
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: all this team. The very few offensive rebounds we gave

380
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: up were because of shots that just you know, went

381
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: in weird places, long threes, et cetera. We gave up

382
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: that one. We got two free throw rebounds, which you

383
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't do. But A and M. I guess that's their specialty.

384
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: But in general, the offensive glass was not an issue,

385
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: which I think we all were worried. Uh were worried

386
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: that it would be. I mean, do you have do

387
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: you have Tyson Foods? Address? Should I send them?

388
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: They were getting a little chesty sending all that stuff

389
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: to the bar.

390
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: They sent a package of chicken nuggets to the bar

391
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: as a thank you package. I mean, I feel like

392
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I should send them a package back. Right. We could

393
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: send them, you.

394
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: Know, a dead hog.

395
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: I could send them. No, I mean, I can send

396
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: them a dead hog. What is this? They come on? Now,

397
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: you got something playful? I mean they were being playful.

398
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that we have to send a dead hog.

399
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: Your mind? What's your mind? That Billy who's next, Thomas, Thomas,

400
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Thomas.

401
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: I just there's a thousand points I want to make,

402
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 6: but you're gonna make. We beat the eleventh rank in

403
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 6: the country tonight. When these teams started in April.

404
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 14: It was equal.

405
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 6: Cal Perry had his team, he pulled. These kids in

406
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: Popa had nothing tonight. L usu us love rank in

407
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 6: the country. Oh my gosh, I don't know where to start.

408
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 6: If Pope loses three in a row, we would least

409
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 6: say he's doing the best he can do. Yeah, I

410
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 6: love this guy.

411
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: Well, I you know I want you. Here's what you

412
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: gotta do, sir, because I did this as I was

413
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: waiting for this postgame show. If you go to KSR,

414
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: there's the video of Buzz Williams press conference. And Buzz

415
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Williams can be annoying. He was whining about Jackson Robinson

416
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: and all that, but put that aside. I think he's

417
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: a good coach and he's a smart guy. And Buzz

418
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Williams was talking about studying Mark Pope's offense and he said,

419
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: I get actual, real joy out of studying Mark Pope's

420
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: offense to get ready for this game. And he was

421
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: saying this very respectfully, So I mean, I want to

422
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: be clear, he was being very respectful, but he basically

423
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: was saying, like he gets these dudes to execute at

424
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: such a high level, it's unbelievable. And he didn't say this,

425
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: but implicit I think in what he was saying, Sir

426
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: is like, this is not an uber talented team, but

427
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: he just takes it and they execute to their ability

428
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: so well that they just become really fun to watch.

429
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: And he said, really fun to scout. It is so

430
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: refreshing and fun to watch that it's we are not

431
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: watching guys and saying, this dude has so much potential.

432
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: I hope he gets to it. We're watching guys who

433
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: are giving one hundred percent of what they have and

434
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: we're watching like everything they have to give is on

435
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: the floor, and I just I really think that's refreshing

436
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: and exciting.

437
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: So don't you think if he fails the people of Kentuch,

438
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 6: he would say, but he's giving this coach is giving

439
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 6: us all he had.

440
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's hard for me to see. It's

441
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: hard for me to see him failing, you know what

442
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, I mean, this will be this will

443
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: be okay, this team will be the least amount of basketball. Like, well,

444
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to say talent, because they're very talented,

445
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: but like, we're gonna have a lot higher ranked players

446
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: in the future. Now, will they be better than this,

447
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: we'll see, but we're gonna have a lot higher ranked players.

448
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: But it's hard for me to see him failing because

449
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: I feel like, and maybe I'm wrong again, he hasn't

450
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: won a tournament game ever, which is it's important to

451
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: remember that he's never won even won an NCAA tournament

452
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: game yet. But it's hard for me to see him

453
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: failing because they're he's so smart that, like, I just

454
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: feel like, if something's not working, he'll change and that'll

455
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: make it work, you know what I mean?

456
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah, I think no matter what he does

457
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 6: at this point, we're forgiving because nobody could do anything

458
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: more than what he's doing for this state. I think

459
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 6: we're more forgiving than just wins and losses.

460
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think we can say that now because we're

461
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: winning when we If we have a year where we lose,

462
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: it might be different, but.

463
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 6: Three three years maybe.

464
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I appreciate the call. I mean, this year,

465
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: this year, unless it's a complete collapse. I don't think

466
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: anybody will be anything but happy, you know, Billy, I

467
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: mean like, there was a part of me when I

468
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: thought about these last two games I think we had,

469
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: didn't Madison or somebody call and say somebody called the

470
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: pregame show before Missippi State Billy and said, like, is

471
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: there a chance we don't make the tournament? Remember that? Yeah? Yeah?

472
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: We talked and I thought to myself, no, not likely.

473
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: But if we were to lose to Mississippi State and

474
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: A and M with Alabama next, that would at least

475
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: be a conversation that you might start having. I don't

476
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: think you have that conversation now, even if you lose

477
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: to Alabama and now it's really about seating and matchups.

478
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know what's gonna happen in

479
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: the tournament. Tournaments are one and done, but I do

480
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: know this. We're gonna be prepared. And I've had so

481
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: much We're halfway through the year. I've had so much

482
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: joy with this group that I can't imagine being angry

483
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: or upset about anything. I might be disappointed, but I

484
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: don't know how you could be upset. Who's next? Todd?

485
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: Is next?

486
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: Todd? What's up Todd, So.

487
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 11: Man, I think you should celebrate this win tonight with

488
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 11: a good old cold glass of milk.

489
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: That's gross, but I can't think of anything worse, but

490
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: I still will celebrate it.

491
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 15: Why that would be good to just ask Billy. I

492
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 15: wanted to say that I am very thrilled with the

493
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 15: improvement on defense tonight. It seemed like we were more

494
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 15: aggressive and grabbing rebounds. Instead of grabbing it and coming

495
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 15: straight down, we turned away from the defender with it

496
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 15: and protecting the ball.

497
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: And I was just remember there was that play in

498
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: the first half. I did think we were getting out

499
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: hustled and out tough a little bit in the first half,

500
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: And there was that play where the A and M

501
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: player dove on the on the floor and Braill just

502
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: kept bending down to try to get bread.

503
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 11: Just just been over out.

504
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: It's just been over me too, and then they need

505
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: to break. And I, honestly, I don't know if Pope.

506
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I know a lot of our fans noticed it.

507
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: I tweeted about it, but we went there was a

508
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: time out, and then all of a sudden, the next

509
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: time they came. I don't I feel like the energy

510
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: was different after that I wonder if Pope pointed that

511
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: play out, because you're right, I felt like after that

512
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: our effort and toughness was as good as it's been.

513
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 11: All year, right, and I hope we can keep it up.

514
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too appreciate it. Missouri now up five

515
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: at or up six at Florida with two minutes to

516
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: go this that's to be a huge upset for Missouri

517
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: to win on the road. You know, Missouri I kind

518
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: of had as one of the bottom teams in the conference,

519
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: but they beat Kansas earlier this year. If they win

520
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: at Florida, those are two two pretty great wins. Maybe

521
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: you have to start moving Missouri up a tier of

522
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: the SEC. Eight five' nine twenty two eighty seven. Let's

523
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: take a break. We'll be right back. This is the

524
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: Local Toy Dealers KSR post game show. Walking back. It

525
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. Eight five

526
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Cats get

527
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: a big victory. Uh nine guys played double digit minutes tonight.

528
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: You don't see that a lot, actually, but you know

529
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: right now, there's not One of the problems I thought

530
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: early in the year is that there would be a

531
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: significant drop off when they would go to the second team. Guys,

532
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that's happening as much. You know,

533
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Almanor had six points in the first half, Perry obviously

534
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: hit those two threes, and I thought played well Garrison.

535
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: I feel like now when they go to the second group,

536
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: you're not seeing the kind of dramatic down downplay. And

537
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: maybe that's no, but no one is that true for

538
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: more than Almanor, who obviously, you know, won the game

539
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: at Mississippi State with his shots. You know, he scored

540
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: six points when we were having a hard time scoring

541
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: in the in the in the first half, and then

542
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: he you know, he wins the box Out Award two

543
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: games in a row like that. Kid has really improved

544
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: and been a big, big boost to the team. In

545
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: these last two games, Who's next?

546
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and two games Kobe Brean hasn't played very well, and.

547
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's part of why I'm excited. They've

548
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: beaten two top twenty teams. And I don't even know

549
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: that we've played great. So I certainly don't think we

550
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: played great tonight offensively. I actually don't think we played

551
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: well offensively. Now, we were great defense, I'm not sure

552
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: this team can play much better defensively and rebounding than

553
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: they did tonight. Who's next, Brandon? Go ahead? Brandon?

554
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 6: Hey?

555
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: Did you hear me?

556
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: Yes, sir? Yes? Go ahead?

557
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: Hey, Matt, first time long term?

558
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: Who are.

559
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: Hey?

560
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 16: I just I got a few things real quick. I

561
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 16: just want to say section two forty one. We set

562
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 16: near the top, but we're up in like row G

563
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 16: or whatever. And the crowd was crazy tonight. It was amazing,

564
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 16: and I got a couple things real quick. Travis Perry

565
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 16: gives us really good minutes off a bench. He's ahead

566
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 16: of schedule. He's not like a future NBA player by

567
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 16: any means, but he is way ahead of schedule. He

568
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 16: handles the ball against pressure, he set screens, and.

569
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 6: He does well.

570
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 17: He does what he's supposed to do.

571
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 16: He does good for us off the bench.

572
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: It's interesting he is. Here's where he is with me.

573
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: I when he first committed, and then when Pope became

574
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: the coach, I kind of really didn't think we were

575
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: going to be very good, and so I thought he

576
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: was going to play a lot, and I thought he

577
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: and so then when he first came out, I thought

578
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: he might be a little disappointing because then I saw

579
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: how good these older guys were. Now he's kind of

580
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: getting to kind of where I thought he'd be, a

581
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: guy coming off the bench playing eight to twelve minutes

582
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: giving you bucket. So I actually think he's kind of

583
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: right on schedule. But he is a head of schedule

584
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: where I thought he'd be when we watched those first

585
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: few games of the year where I really didn't think

586
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: he was gonna play at all. And you know, part

587
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: of that is Kerr got hurt, which I think is

588
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: giving him a chance, and he stepped into it.

589
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, when when Kerkkrisa comes back, he's definitely gonna still

590
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 16: be in the rotation, I think, But Kurr's probably.

591
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Not gonna come back. Just for the record, I don't

592
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: think Kurr's gonna come back. I mean that's just my take.

593
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: I would be very surprised if we see him the

594
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Really, yeah, I mean that's just

595
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: my take. I mean he I mean, he's still not

596
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: walking under his own like he's still not he's still

597
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: hopping when he when he walks. You know, we're gonna

598
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: be seven weeks from the tournament. Even if he comes back.

599
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's gonna play. You know,

600
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: he's got another year though if he wants to. By

601
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: the way, as does Almanor, under the new rules, they

602
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: both conceivably could come back but go ahead.

603
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 18: In the Clinton game and and the Ohio State game.

604
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 18: I thought maybe that we would struggle in like muddy games.

605
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 18: But today he taught me because we didn't score ninety

606
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 18: ninety six points and we still manage to win the game.

607
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 16: Today told me we can win in a different manner.

608
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 16: We didn't have to score ninety plus to win the game.

609
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think that's the key.

610
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 14: The key.

611
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: Take Wait, you only get three things? That was three.

612
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot. We're gonna have to go to other people.

613
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. I mean, I'll take three. I

614
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: usually like one or two. That was three. But I

615
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: do appreciate the call. Florida's trying to come back here

616
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: seventy nine, seventy seven. They're gonna do it, but they haven't.

617
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: They have not led this entire game.

618
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: That'd be brutal loss from his aeria.

619
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: And be a brutal loss. Lead the entire game into

620
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: the last thirty seconds. Who's up next?

621
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: We have another Todd on the line.

622
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Todd, by the way, that was the line. I guess

623
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: it didn't get fixed, right, the one that pops. Did

624
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: you hear that?

625
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: I heard it a lot on that one, but that

626
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: was not the same line as last time. So but

627
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: I did hear.

628
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: No, that's not a good sign. All right. Who's up next, Todd? Todd,

629
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: go ahead, Todd, Hey, Hey, what's up?

630
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 19: So Pope.

631
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 13: I was in Mesco and I heard Pope was our coach,

632
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 13: and I was kind of like dumbfounded by it, and I.

633
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: Was like whatever.

634
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 13: But he really brings Patino Ball back to Kentucky.

635
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch. It's Patino ball, though up updated.

636
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 13: For people would hate Patino.

637
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not. It's not. But it's Patino Okay.

638
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 11: Good, I'm forty five. I'm forty five.

639
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 13: He brought Kentucky back for me, I understand as a

640
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 13: young kid.

641
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: It's Patino ball though for the modern era, because it

642
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: is he is. He is not just he's not like

643
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: we don't press, for instance, which is a big part

644
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: of Patino stuff, because you can't really do that anymore.

645
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: Got too good a ball handlers. So he is running

646
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: motion sets. It's not you know, when Tino was shooting threes,

647
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: he and Arkansas were like the only ones doing that,

648
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: and now everybody do it. But he runs these these

649
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: sets that are just different and that get guys open

650
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: and include back cuts. It's almost like a mixture of

651
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: the way Patino plays with a little bit of the

652
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: Princeton offense with back door cuts and and overplays, and

653
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: I just it's so it's really high level basket love.

654
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 13: How he plays.

655
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate you call, don't I don't know, you know,

656
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: with a Mari and Brandon like sometimes you know, you go, man,

657
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: they dribble a lot, but they also like when they're

658
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: up at the top of the key, it opens up

659
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: the court so much so, I mean, Pope kind of

660
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And wait till he gets big

661
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: guys that he gets to train in that system. Remember

662
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: these dudes played in other systems last year. Wait wait

663
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: till he gets guys who he gets them from moment

664
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: one and does it. I think that's gonna be even better.

665
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: Who's next, Randy, go ahead, Randy, Hey, Matt.

666
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 19: I think it was a couple of years ago after

667
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 19: a rough South Carolina loss that I called and it

668
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 19: was very emotional on the radio, and it's amazing what

669
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 19: a difference two years will make for us as Kentucky fans,

670
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 19: because you know the adjustments that Mark Folk makes as

671
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 19: a coach. He changes everything up and we're three and

672
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 19: one SCC. You know, nobody knew where he was going

673
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 19: to be with this group, and I mean, they're just

674
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 19: an exciting bunch. The crowd to night was amazing, and

675
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 19: I just I don't want to wish my life away,

676
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 19: but I can't wait till March. I'll hang up and

677
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 19: looking Yeah.

678
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't think I've ever said this before,

679
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the call. I don't like I'm not

680
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to March because I really enjoy this team playing.

681
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: I want to keep watching them, you know what I mean, Like,

682
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't want it to end. I look forward to

683
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: these games. Last few years, If I'm being honest, I

684
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: did not look forward to most games. I found them brutal.

685
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, your team was a little better because I

686
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: really liked Antonio Reeves. Red rob was fun, so last

687
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: year's team was a little more fun to watch. But

688
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: a lot of these teams last few years have not

689
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: been fun to watch and I look forward to this group. Man.

690
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they they're just fun, like, they seem like

691
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: good guys, and that whole ability to get a greater

692
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: hole than some of the parts is just a really

693
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: really cool thing. Missouri's got a free throw here ability

694
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: that if they hit, they're they're gonna be hard for

695
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: Florida beat him. Well, let's we'll see if he makes it.

696
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's see it's up and good. So they're up for

697
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight seconds to go. Who's next.

698
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: So you're saying, right about at the time I joined

699
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: the postgame show, is when you stopped enjoying watching Kentucky

700
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 2: basketball games.

701
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, that correlation was probably correct, but uh no,

702
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean I enjoyed. Look, it's not like I hated it,

703
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 1: but the games were tedious. Man, It's like it felt

704
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: like I mean, it's like, honestly, it's like watching Arkansas

705
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: play right now, Like every basket it's a slog, that's

706
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: what it was, and now they're just so free for you.

707
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: When they have one or two plays where they get

708
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: bogged down, you're like, oh, this is weird, and then

709
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: he usually calls time out and next thing you know,

710
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: they're right back to the to the flow. Let's do

711
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: one more and we'll take our phone break. Who's next, Kevin, Kevin,

712
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, Kevin.

713
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 6: Matt.

714
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 8: Great to hear from you.

715
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 19: As always.

716
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 8: I always like to think that the Kistar postgame Show

717
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 8: it's sort of like going to the d m V

718
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 8: in the sense that you know, it takes all types.

719
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: I love it. It is absolutely the.

720
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: Best going to the DMV. No one likes that well.

721
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 8: I said in the in the regard of the fact

722
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 8: that you get it's all types. You know, you get

723
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 8: all sorts of different love. That's a lot of It's

724
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 8: a lot of a lot of any case, Uh, tonight,

725
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 8: I think the biggest segue one we got to find

726
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 8: out what is going on with Lamont Butler's shoes. I

727
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 8: don't think I've ever seen a guy have more blowouts

728
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 8: in my life than this guy. I mean, he his

729
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 8: shoes are slipping out from under him every other play.

730
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: He does slip a lot. I hadn't thought about that,

731
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: but you're right, he does. And he gets hit in

732
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: the face a lot too. He I don't know, he

733
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: needs to move his face back, and maybe we do.

734
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he's wearing those shoes eye and wore it, Duke.

735
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: I don't know.

736
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 8: He's a handsome guy. I don't want I don't want

737
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 8: the complexion getting banged up too much, but uh, I

738
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 8: gotta say shout out, Jackson Robinson found his edge. I

739
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 8: feel like tonight getting in getting that little extracurriculum as

740
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 8: buzz unbelievable. I feel like he needed that. We needed

741
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 8: to see that, uh that killer attitude from him, that

742
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 8: that was what we needed big time.

743
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: I just need to know what that what that drama is,

744
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: because there's certainly some drama there, because like that was

745
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: a that was a little personal and when he did

746
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: it twice after having gotten the technical the first time,

747
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: that means it was it was extra special. I appreciate

748
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: the call. I listen Jackson Robinson. The last two games,

749
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: that's two games in a row where he's looked like

750
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: a star. And I continue to believe for this team

751
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: to be great, Jackson Robinson has to be great, and

752
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: he's been great these last two games. So I really

753
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: like that kid. Kind of like with Antonio Reeves last year,

754
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: I think I like him even more than he is good,

755
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: just because for some reason, I just really want him

756
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: to succeed and I I really like watching him play man.

757
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not Braa, but he's close in terms

758
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: of when he's open. That thing is good. It looks

759
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: like Missouri is going to beat Florida on the road.

760
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: That's a huge surprise. Eighty three seventy nine. Well, I

761
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: guess they're about to. It's not over yet, but for

762
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: the most part he is. We'll take a break and

763
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: be right back. This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR

764
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: Post game Show. Quarner back, It is the Local Toy

765
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Dealers KSR post game Show. You know something I just realized,

766
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: Billy that I'd forgotten. There's a guy named John Nighbors

767
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: who does a daily show, daily Art Kansas show, and

768
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: he's been he's always been nice to me going back

769
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: however long he's done it, five or six years. I

770
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: think I've been on this show a few times. And

771
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: he's coming to town for the for the Kentucky game.

772
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: And he asked me, I guess he's getting here Thursday morning.

773
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: He asked me if he could do his afternoon Arkansas

774
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: show at the Bar on Thursday. Really yeah, And I said,

775
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, sure if you want to. I mean, he

776
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: needs a place to do it. And it's like at

777
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: like three in the afternoon or something like that. And

778
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: now he asked me that, like maybe when he thought

779
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: they'd be good. I wonder what that'll be like now

780
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: he can just sit and interview Kentucky fans all the

781
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: time if he wants, or we could all just bring

782
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: him thank you gifts.

783
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 2: That'll be a miserable show doing that in nimey territory too,

784
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: Like that?

785
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Do you think you think we could all bring him

786
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: thank you gifts? That would actually be nice. It'd be

787
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: like a peace offering to the Arkansas host. That would

788
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: be nice. Yeah, thank you for taking forty million dollars

789
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: off of our books. Yeah, and uh and helping us out.

790
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: Who's up next?

791
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: James's next?

792
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: James? Go ahead? James?

793
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, This is James from Johnson County, first time caller.

Speaker 1: Who are.

795
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 8: Yeah?

796
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 3: I was took my son tonight to his first basketball

797
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: game and we had a We had a great time. Uh,

798
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: it was a great atmosphere. We really really enjoyed watching

799
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: them play hard on defense and do a lot better

800
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: on rebounding. And Uh, I have one question we do Uh,

801
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: cars seems to be getting a whole lot of minutes

802
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 3: and I know he was getting a back het at

803
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: Mississippi State, and he seemed to be stiff tonight, a

804
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 3: little bit stiff.

805
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: He's clearly got it back in He's got a back

806
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: spasm or something like that. He's got some kind of

807
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: back issue. Uh that is. I think he's had a

808
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: lot of the year, but it's apparently been worse. Uh

809
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: he was, he was on the injury report the last

810
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: two games. I think it was Jack Gibbons, who's around

811
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: practice every day, set after the game that Andrew basically

812
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: wants to get through the Alabama game and then you know,

813
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: we have a we have a week off. We we

814
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: we don't have a midweek game next week, and then

815
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: rested during that so. Uh So, No, he's definitely hindered

816
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: a little bit with his back. And you know, if

817
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: you've ever had back pain, you know that can linger

818
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: for some times.

819
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, definitely, But he just seemed to be a

820
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 3: little steve and we was that we were just figuring,

821
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 3: h we would we would ask about him and see

822
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: if you knew.

823
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 12: Uh.

824
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think he's gonna.

825
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: Be appreciate the call. I hope he I hope he

826
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: ends up getting better and you know, I mean, look,

827
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: he's still playing pretty well considering the pain. I mean,

828
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: he's it clearly has effect affected his jumping and his quickness.

829
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: But when he gets the ball in the paint, he's made.

830
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: He's finished on some both in Mississippi State and tonight

831
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: some big place.

832
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Goose called him the key to the second half.

833
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 1: Oh he did, really? Did he say? Why? Yeah?

834
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: Because they put him in different action. I guess they

835
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: put him up top and instead of a mari and

836
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: that led to them scoring a little bit more.

837
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. Goose knows uh more than

838
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: I do. Let's do five more and we'll go to bed.

839
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 2: Who's next, Todd?

840
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: Todd?

841
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 17: Go ahead, Todd, Hey, Matte, I appreciate you taking my call.

842
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 17: Called after the Georgia game and kind of got on

843
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 17: Robinson a little bit.

844
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 4: So I'll gladly.

845
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 17: Come on here and eat my crow. If he's going

846
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 17: to continue playing like that, well.

847
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: I mean those are three big games. There's three big

848
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: games with this Mississippi State in Gonzaga that we don't

849
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: win any of the three of them if he doesn't

850
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: have big games. So while he's not gonna do this

851
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: every game, I do think he deserves some praise for us.

852
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: Three of our five biggest wins of the year had

853
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: really been directly attributable to how he's played.

854
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, and you're right. I really think he's the

855
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 17: kind of the key to the teams. But he's that

856
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 17: one guy that we kind of got that can get

857
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 17: his own or create for someone else. It's good to

858
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 17: get a to get a win without Butler and o

859
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 17: Way playing overall really good. I mean they did. They

860
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 17: played okay, I mean especially defensively, but offensively they were

861
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 17: pretty rough to not A question though, is with Butler.

862
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 17: Uh to me, he seems to overpenetrate or to get

863
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 17: too deep a lot of times for his size. Is

864
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 17: that something coach, I don't know?

865
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 7: Lay up for.

866
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: Three or I don't. He misses a lot of layups,

867
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: And I think you're right that he misses a lot

868
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: of cut and he gets blocked a lot, probably because

869
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: he gets so deep. I did notice, and I appreciate

870
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: the call. He and one of them. He missed the

871
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: free throws, but he he has been Tonight, he drew

872
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: a couple more fouls, which is what I think he's

873
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: actually pretty good at if he wants to, but finishing

874
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: is an issue with him, and it surprises me a

875
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: little bit because he's he's you know, he's he feels

876
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: like he can handle contact. He clearly gets hit a lot,

877
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: but he does struggle finishing and he has all year.

878
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: But but you know, he's a tough kid and defensively,

879
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: we got to have him four more. Who's next? Dave? Dave?

880
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: What's up? Dave?

881
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 5: Taking my call? Just I know you guys have talked

882
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 5: a lot about how the SEC is so tough this

883
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 5: year and to really kind of be expecting, you know,

884
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 5: a team that has a lot of losses to do

885
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 5: well in the tournament. And I was thinking about I

886
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 5: get encouragement about that because I was thinking about, wasn't

887
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 5: Dan Hurley's first Yukon Championship. Didn't they go through the

888
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 5: Big East and they.

889
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 3: Had a bad record going in?

890
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: They lost. I think they lost well, they had a

891
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: good wreck. I think they were like a four seed,

892
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: but I think maybe in January or early February, maybe

893
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: they may have lost like four straight games or something,

894
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: and then they got really hot at the end of

895
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: the year. I think they came in as a four seed.

896
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: But we're playing as well. As anybody in the country

897
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and it wouldn't shot

898
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: me if there's an SEC team like that, right that gets.

899
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, no, go ahead.

900
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 11: Yeah.

901
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 9: I was thinking, like some remember Dan Hurley was saying

902
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 9: in a press conference, like the Big East prepared us

903
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 9: for this, and I was just thinking about I'm not

904
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 9: saying we're gonna win a national title, and we're definitely

905
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 9: exceeding expectations, but man, I'm just encouraged about decks.

906
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 5: I think the SEC is definitely the best conference, and

907
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 5: Kentucky I think I Final four is definitely reasonable for real.

908
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: Oh wait, we're certainly going to be a contender for it.

909
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: I agree, and I appreciate calling that year the Big

910
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: East was really really good. That that was two years ago,

911
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: and I don't remember, but there were a bunch of

912
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: teams that year the Big East was really good, and

913
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: you're right, that was kind of how that Yukon team

914
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: team was. I you know, we're what's crazy is, Okay,

915
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: we've won five games against teams in the top fifteen,

916
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: But what if I told you, Billy, I think we're

917
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna play six more games against teams in the top

918
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: fifteen six, two against Tennessee, two against Alabama, one against Auburn,

919
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: and then I think by then Old Miss might be

920
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen.

921
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: So it's unbelievable, you know.

922
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take some I mean, we're three in

923
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: one in conference. We still got two against Alabama, two

924
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, one against Auburn, one at Old Miss. We

925
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: still got six really hard games and that doesn't even

926
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: count like at Missouri, you know, at Bandy, you know

927
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: other games that like if you're not ready, you could lose.

928
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: So there's still there's still a lot of at Tax,

929
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: at Texas, at Oklahoma. I mean, it's not gonna get

930
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: easier in any of these games. And we're gonna take

931
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of losses, which is why I think when

932
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: you can, you gotta hold servant home and you got

933
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: to steal a cup on the road. And we've done

934
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: that in the last week. Uh what was it? Three more?

935
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: Three more? Who's next?

936
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 2: Bones next?

937
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: Bones? Go ahead? Bones?

938
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 7: Hey, what's going on?

939
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 6: Man?

940
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 7: Thanks for taking my call. With a great win tonight, man,

941
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 7: just just another great win. It was exciting. Finally got

942
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 7: back to rut since the twenty eighteen and man, that

943
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 7: place jumps.

944
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 8: Now.

945
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 7: Uh, it was just a really exciting game, but just

946
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 7: two quick things when I was really, really really impressed

947
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 7: with Travis Perry. But it wasn't his offense. He actually

948
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 7: started to show his defense and wasn't such a liability,

949
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 7: had a big steal, was on the floor. You can

950
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 7: tell his confidence is growing fast. And then the other

951
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 7: thing is I was talking to somebody the other Hey,

952
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 7: so I was talking to somebody the other day and

953
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 7: about the officiating. I don't want to sit here and

954
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 7: the playing. But that's like three games with a lot

955
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 7: of phantom, crazy calls, and I know the coaches can't

956
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 7: really criticize it. I think there ought to be some

957
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 7: kind of like I guess, I don't know what you're

958
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 7: gonna call punishment rule whatever that the NCAA after each

959
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 7: game reviews and obviously you're gonna miss some calls, but

960
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 7: they should have started putting notice on these guys about

961
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 7: the egregious calls, maybe like hey, here's your warning, here's

962
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 7: your second warning, and then if it happens the third time,

963
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 7: you know, there's got to be some kind of fun.

964
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 7: But it'll also help them to keep an eye on

965
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 7: which officials constantly do it or whatever. But that's all

966
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 7: I got, Man, go cat.

967
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. I didn't. I didn't think the officiating

968
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: was bad tonight.

969
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: There's one bad call against a Mari early in the game,

970
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: if you remember that, which one was that he was

971
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 2: he was just he was mugged in the corner and

972
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 2: they called an offensive foul on here.

973
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that yeah. I didn't like that call. You right,

974
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: But I also noticed in like three of the two

975
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,479
Speaker 1: of the first four place Andrew Carr and Amari threw

976
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 1: the guy out about and they didn't and they didn't

977
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: call anything. I actually thought the officiating was you listen,

978
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,479
Speaker 1: I mean I could get every call right, like they're

979
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: just like they're they're they're not. What I think is

980
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: the mark of bad officiating is when it is clear

981
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: and official does not like a coach, which I don't

982
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen to us with Mark Pope. I

983
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: can't imagine an official knock and there were guys that

984
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: did not like cow. And then I also hate when

985
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,959
Speaker 1: it's like inconsistent, like they're calling everything and then they're

986
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 1: calling nothing, and then they're calling everything. That's what bothers,

987
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: That's what drives me crazy, and I didn't feel like

988
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: any of that was really the case tonight. The only

989
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: thing that really annoyed me was calling those technicals. I mean,

990
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: I didn't complain when they called it on A and M,

991
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: but they probably shouldn't have called it on them, And

992
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: then the one on Jackson was just stupid. You gotta

993
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: let guys have fun. Who's next, Trey? Trey? What's up, Trey?

994
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 14: What's going on? Fellows? Say? So, Matt, we talked about this,

995
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 14: I don't know it was last week, about how many

996
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 14: opportunities Kentucky's gonna get too correct, this whole physicality in

997
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 14: the league. And here we are now.

998
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, back two games back to back, when they've.

999
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 14: Done it, Yep, exactly. Hey, so I've been I've been

1000
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 14: thinking about this for a while. Let's do a hypothetical

1001
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 14: real quick. All right, does Kentucky thunder John Caliparty with

1002
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 14: this current regime and they beat Duke this year?

1003
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: All right? So, I mean you'd have to figure out, like, Okay,

1004
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: who's the roster?

1005
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 14: Right?

1006
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 11: So Zach roster with this roster.

1007
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: O would have been terrible with this roster.

1008
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 11: I mean he.

1009
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: With this roster, he would have been awful. Now, if

1010
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: you take the roster, if you take the roster he

1011
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: would have had, which I still don't think would have

1012
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: been a good roster. But if you take the roster

1013
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: he would have had, he'd be better. He I can't

1014
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: imagine a group of players he'd have been worse with

1015
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: than this one, because his whole theory of offenses beat

1016
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: your man off the dribble, and we don't really have

1017
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: any guys who do that, So we would have been terrible.

1018
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 14: Okay, Kidzaga.

1019
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: No, we wouldn't won any of those games. I mean

1020
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: we'd be owing Foreign Conference probably right now. No, we would, Yeah,

1021
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: we'd be owing for in conf Yeah, we'd be owing

1022
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: for in comt with this roster. But he would, to

1023
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: be fair to him, he wouldn't recruit this roster like

1024
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: this is not a rong. He I don't think there's

1025
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: any guy on this team that would be on one

1026
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: of his teams. The better question is, let's say he

1027
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: had the roster that he would have had here, which

1028
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: is basically the roster that he has at at Arkansas,

1029
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: minus take out Trayvon Brazil and maybe put in somebody else.

1030
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, would he we'd be having the same result.

1031
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 14: You know, so o, hey, how about this? On a

1032
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 14: contrarian thought, what would Mark Pope do?

1033
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be good with Cow's roster. He wouldn't be

1034
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: good with it either though, like that, like because he

1035
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: needs guys who can shoot, and that's a team full

1036
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: of guys that can't shoot. So now there are dudes

1037
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: on that team that would play better for Pope, like

1038
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: the John L. Davis would be better with Pope because

1039
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: he's just he's just lost down there, and you know,

1040
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Pope considered trying to give him John L. Davis would

1041
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: be a lot better off here. But like again, trying

1042
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: to be fair, a kid like you know, Jackson Robinson

1043
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: or Andrew Carr is not even gonna play for Cow, right,

1044
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: So like there's it's just you know, they just recruit

1045
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: different kind of dudes.

1046
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 14: No, that's uh, that's good food for thought. And hey,

1047
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 14: last I'm no genius when it comes to this, but

1048
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 14: with the phone popping and everything like that, I do

1049
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 14: work for the telecommunication company. You guys probably have damaged

1050
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 14: copper on your on your line, so okay, I have

1051
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 14: somebody look.

1052
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: At damaged copper. Right. I appreciate the call why will you?

1053
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: Will you tell guys and Nathan to look for the

1054
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: damaged copper? Billy?

1055
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, we don't have phone lines. We

1056
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: do this all on like digitally.

1057
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: But but there's probably something in there that's copper. I mean,

1058
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: there has to be something right, like it's digital, but

1059
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: like there's a phone somewhere, isn't it. Yeah, I don't

1060
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. The only thing I know

1061
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: about copper is that people in the mountains steal it.

1062
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: That's all you know about copper.

1063
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's people like go up. You know. When I

1064
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: was a lawyer, I represented a certain power company and

1065
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: people were always stealing our copper, and sometimes they would

1066
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: hurt themselves stealing the copper, and then they'd sue us.

1067
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 2: How can they do that?

1068
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: Well they couldn't. I'd win. Yeah. I really only had

1069
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: one of those cases. But we won tell you that

1070
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: story one day. Probably shouldn't say it on the here,

1071
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: who's neck last one?

1072
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: Who's the last one?

1073
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Barry? Barry?

1074
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 20: Go ahead, Barry, Hey, Matt, I would try to be

1075
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 20: cohering arahad a whiskey, see fit. I forgot it's full

1076
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 20: proof a little while ago. But the okay, The question

1077
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 20: I have is do the with a fourteen to three record,

1078
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 20: do the three kind of considered kind of bad losses

1079
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 20: way more than.

1080
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 14: No the good win.

1081
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 11: No.

1082
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: The NCAA, because you may remember many years ago. I

1083
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: don't know how long you've been listening to this, but

1084
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, I was part of the NCAA. They

1085
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: do this media mock bracket process where they bring the

1086
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: media up and teach them about how brackets go, and

1087
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: they bring like fifteen every year, and they picked me

1088
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: that year, and it was oddly the year Kentucky didn't

1089
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: make the tournament. But I went through the process and

1090
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: it was very interesting. It was very instructive on how

1091
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: they do it. But basically, they obviously consider who you

1092
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: beat and who you lost, but when it comes down

1093
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: to it, if there's a tie break, they are more

1094
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: interested in who you beat than who you lost to.

1095
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? So I think a win is

1096
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: worth maybe one and a half points more than a

1097
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: bad loss. So if we were gonna lose three games

1098
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: and win, or if we're gonna lose three games, we've

1099
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: done it the right way. We've beaten the good teams.

1100
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 20: Well that's what I was thinking. I would rather have

1101
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 20: these good wins and forget about the bad loss.

1102
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: You don't want to take the one thing you don't

1103
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: want to do. You get punished for taking bad losses,

1104
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: so like you don't get punished for losing at Georgia.

1105
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: That will not be a punishment. At Clemson will not

1106
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: be a punishment. The Ohio State game will probably be

1107
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a punishment because it's a neutral

1108
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 1: court when we got crushed and they're not good. So

1109
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: the Ohio State game is probably the only game that

1110
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: on Selection Sunday they will hold against us at this

1111
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: point at all. But we will weigh outweigh it with

1112
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: these With these wins.

1113
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.

1114
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 20: This team seems to every game they seem to fix

1115
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 20: an issue that they had previously. And I think by

1116
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 20: the end of the year, you know, with the defense

1117
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 20: we played tonight and with you know, it just seems

1118
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 20: like the team's going in the right direction. I love

1119
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 20: his coaching and the way he fixes things and it's exciting.

1120
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: Totally agree with you, appreciate the call. I still don't

1121
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: know how we lost that Ohio State game like we did. Really,

1122
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: how do we lose that game by twenty points, like

1123
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: Georgia and Ohi Georgia and Clipson. I understand their home

1124
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: court crowd's crazy. I get it. How did we lose

1125
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: by twenty Ohio State? Yeah, I don't know.

1126
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 2: I mean the bench plays stepped up a lot since then,

1127
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 2: rebounding's gotten a lot better.

1128
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: But that's gonna be one of those that you're like, remember,

1129
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: I remember one year, I think last time Duke won

1130
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: the title. They lost that year at home to like

1131
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: Miami by twenty five, and I was like, how did

1132
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: that happen? I wonder if that'll be like that with

1133
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: this game. Hey, folks, thank you all very much for listening.

1134
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: We will be back tomorrow morning at Ksbar. This has

1135
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: been the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show
