Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. It's
Speaker 2: a late night again, but this time not as much
Speaker 2: fun as the last one. The Cats go down ninety
Speaker 2: nine to seventy in the quarterfinals at the SEC Tournament,
Speaker 2: a fairly terrible performance by the Cats that leads to
Speaker 2: a disappointing twenty nine point defeat, the largest defeat for
Speaker 2: Kentucky in their SEC Tournament history. You can give us
Speaker 2: a shout. Look, it's late at night. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and tell you. Anybody that calls tonight, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and say you're my friend. Because even I
Speaker 2: when I was listening to postgame shows before I did them,
Speaker 2: I would stay.
Speaker 1: Up pretty late.
Speaker 2: This would be the kind of game that you probably
Speaker 2: wouldn't offense. If you do, I'm gonna be happy with you.
Speaker 2: Eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. And
Speaker 2: because I'm going to air a grievance at the end
Speaker 2: of this segment, if you call, I'll let you aeric grievance.
Speaker 1: It's late at night.
Speaker 2: If you got something that annoys you, now at the
Speaker 2: time to say it. The performance tonight by Kentucky was
Speaker 2: you know, first half okay, especially when you consider that
Speaker 2: you didn't have Lamont Butler and Oway was out for
Speaker 2: most of the first half because of the shot he
Speaker 2: took to the face and basically missed nearly all the
Speaker 2: first half. After the first few minutes, it was a
Speaker 2: great star for Kentucky. Scored fourteen points in six minutes,
Speaker 2: but then the last thirty four only get fifty six.
Speaker 2: And defensively, you know, the Cats just could not. They
Speaker 2: have been able to stop by Alabama all year, even
Speaker 2: when they had their closest to a full team, and
Speaker 2: then tonight it got really out of hand. I was
Speaker 2: very disappointed with the play in the second half, not
Speaker 2: because we lost. I thought we were down seven at
Speaker 2: half time, but had actually played pretty admirably for a
Speaker 2: lot of it. But second half just really really terrible.
Speaker 2: I mean, able to handle the pressure, poor decision making
Speaker 2: and bad shots, raw people taking shots. You know, it
Speaker 2: was just it was a bad performance. And it's tough
Speaker 2: because you'd like to just throw it out. I think
Speaker 2: we will, collectively as a fan base, kind of throw
Speaker 2: it out. We're not gonna I don't think Kentucky fans
Speaker 2: are gonna rewatch this game. But the tournament is next
Speaker 2: week and you only get one shot and you can't
Speaker 2: have a game like this. Then Now we did get
Speaker 2: some good news tonight. It looks like Lamont Butler will
Speaker 2: play in the NCAA tournament. So that's good. I think
Speaker 2: you can't help but have more confidence there. It gives
Speaker 2: Kentucky a lot more options. He's obviously our best defender.
Speaker 2: So all that's good news.
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll.
Speaker 2: Probably just put this to the side. But that was
Speaker 2: a really disappointing second half. And I think you could
Speaker 2: hear it Mark Pope's voice in the postgame show. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure I've ever heard him sound that. I don't
Speaker 2: know what you would call it. Defeated in some ways.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it was very short sort
Speaker 2: of terse answers to Tom Leech. I don't think he
Speaker 2: was rude to him, but he was. It wasn't the
Speaker 2: Mark Pope that we're used to hearing. And he said,
Speaker 2: I think Leach asked him some kind of question about
Speaker 2: not having Butler, not having O Way, and he said,
Speaker 2: we got to play better with the guys that are
Speaker 2: in regardless, and it didn't happen in the second half.
Speaker 2: You know, they had a lot of moments where they
Speaker 2: were playing all three freshmen. That's something I bet you
Speaker 2: he did not think was going to happen at any
Speaker 2: time this year, and it was happening in the SEC tournament.
Speaker 1: We had no one, including Oway, who.
Speaker 2: Could stop Sears off the dribble, who could stop the
Speaker 2: other card file on. We just had no chance, none.
Speaker 2: And in the second half they started hitting threes, which
Speaker 2: they didn't hit in the first half, which made it
Speaker 2: really ugly. So rather than sitting dwell on it, where
Speaker 2: do we go from here? You get Lamont Butler back,
Speaker 2: you still have ol Way, you have Brea car and Williams.
Speaker 2: I still think that is an Elite eight level starting five,
Speaker 2: maybe even you know, I don't know if we can
Speaker 2: beat these four or five best teams in the country,
Speaker 2: but I think that is an Elite eight level starting five.
Speaker 2: I think our bench is not Elite eight level. So
Speaker 2: those top five guys are gonna have to play great.
Speaker 2: None of them can have bad games, and they're probably
Speaker 2: gonna have to play a lot of minutes. The young
Speaker 2: guys can maybe have spot moments, but they are not
Speaker 2: ready for this level, and so you're gonna have five
Speaker 2: guys against the world. The Braget's gonna come out. I
Speaker 2: think there's a good chance for a three seed. Wouldn't
Speaker 2: shot me if we dropped to a four, but I
Speaker 2: think we'll probably be a three, especially now that the
Speaker 2: tournament committee will know that Butler is gonna be playing,
Speaker 2: and we'll open with a fourteen. It'll be somebody like
Speaker 2: Montana or Utah Valley, you know, someone like that, and
Speaker 2: then we'll get a six seed that will be probably
Speaker 2: a difficult game, and we've got to come out and
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to play in that second game, assuming
Speaker 2: we win the first one, and then if we get
Speaker 2: to Sweet sixteen. I don't know about you all, but
Speaker 2: I will take it as all gravy after that. But
Speaker 2: we've played well enough this year and in the tournament
Speaker 2: that we're going to play two teams that are seated
Speaker 2: below us to get to the sweet sixteen. That makes
Speaker 2: it a doable proposition. And now I hope they can
Speaker 2: go and do it. I think with the roster they
Speaker 2: have with Butler healthy, it can be done. But they
Speaker 2: can't have performances like tonight, and they honestly can't have
Speaker 2: players who don't play well I didn't think this was
Speaker 2: the greatest tournament for you know, Mari Williams made a
Speaker 2: lot of free throws, but I was a little disappointed
Speaker 2: with his effort tonight. I was you know, Alway didn't
Speaker 2: play well, but he did have the injury. You know,
Speaker 2: the freshmen just aren't good enough at this point. But
Speaker 2: all that puts the side. You got five guys, you
Speaker 2: go play in the NCAA tournament and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: Eight two eighty seven, Billy, I'm going to allow people,
Speaker 2: since this is a frustrating night and we don't want
Speaker 2: to just say over and over how bad we played.
Speaker 2: I'm going to allow people to they can make their
Speaker 2: comment on the game, and then they can talk about
Speaker 2: something that they really don't like.
Speaker 1: Billy.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna like, like a pet peet, not
Speaker 2: something serious like I don't want to hear what you
Speaker 2: think about, like the economy or I'm talking about like
Speaker 2: you know, not serious things.
Speaker 1: You don't like. And here's mine. Okay, do you have
Speaker 1: YouTube TV? Bill? I do. Yeah. I don't like.
Speaker 2: I've decided I don't like the moments of zend Or,
Speaker 2: at least I don't like the some of the moments.
Speaker 3: Of zen Oh really, yeah, I kind of like it.
Speaker 2: I don't because I find the moments of zen a.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this happens to you. They're louder
Speaker 2: than the rest of the show. That's not very sin
Speaker 2: like the fact that it's louder than the actual broadcast.
Speaker 3: The boat one with the water in the back.
Speaker 1: Water is so loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the water is so loud when I'm going through
Speaker 2: Venice there on my little gondola.
Speaker 1: Right again, for people don't have YouTube thro TV, they
Speaker 1: don't know what we're talking about. But that's okay.
Speaker 2: I don't like the otter that looks like it's dead
Speaker 2: floating in the water. Now people are telling me that
Speaker 2: that's like an otter and it's baby, and they're like nursing.
Speaker 2: First of all, that's more intimate than I need on
Speaker 2: my YouTube TV. But I can't tell one otter from
Speaker 2: the other on my screen. And it looks like a
Speaker 2: dead floating otter in the water.
Speaker 3: It doesn't soothe and relax you when you see it.
Speaker 2: Yes, And then last night they just kept showing a
Speaker 2: view from the top of Paris, right like, how many
Speaker 2: times can I look at.
Speaker 1: That Eiffel Tower. You know, I get it, that's Paris.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: I'm on a gondola with really loud water, and I
Speaker 2: get that this beaver otter is sitting there dead in
Speaker 2: the water.
Speaker 1: But I don't find it very zen like. Billy, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3: Would you rather watch a commercial because that's what it's replacing.
Speaker 2: If it'll at least be the same volume as the broadcast,
Speaker 2: that would be better. So I like the idea of
Speaker 2: moments of zen like they used to show, like like
Speaker 2: a jungle right and it was like you'd hear birds,
Speaker 2: But I don't, you know, watching a dead beaver float
Speaker 2: in the water, just to me is not very zen like.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll get him to turn it down a little
Speaker 3: bit and maybe you'll at least work.
Speaker 1: On the volume, okay, if nothing else arievance? Sure? Why not? Well?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 3: Okay? I hate auto flush toilets. Do you know what
Speaker 3: I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: Really? Like where you just get up and then it yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm doing my business and then I get up.
Speaker 3: I don't need to know that to you know, you
Speaker 3: get some toilet paper and to wipe, and it starts flushing.
Speaker 3: The toilet and all those germs go right up my butt.
Speaker 1: All right, that that's too graphic. We you didn't need
Speaker 1: to give me that level.
Speaker 3: I mean, they got to fix it so it goes
Speaker 3: off when I'm done.
Speaker 1: Eighty seven.
Speaker 2: I thought I thought you were gonna be a little
Speaker 2: better than that. Uh, if you didn't see the games tonight.
Speaker 2: Besides ours, the lane violation in the North Carolina game,
Speaker 2: should they have called that?
Speaker 1: You think?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Would you have called that? Billy?
Speaker 2: They were gonna they may miss the NCAA tournament because
Speaker 2: of an unemp you know, a non important lane violation.
Speaker 1: Would you have called it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's in the rule book. You can't dictate the
Speaker 3: last minute of the game different than the other part.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have let that be
Speaker 2: the call that separated the game, but they did, and
Speaker 2: I feel bad for that kid.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be really hard for him.
Speaker 2: Also, Creighton beats Yukon, so it'll be Craton and Saint
Speaker 2: John's and the Big East Final. There was also nearly
Speaker 2: a fight at the end of it as well. You'll
Speaker 2: have Louisville gets a win, unfortunately, so it is Duke
Speaker 2: and Louisville LOUISLLS never made the a SEC Championship game,
Speaker 2: and they make it this year, and they'll play a
Speaker 2: duke team without Cooper Flag, so they have a real
Speaker 2: decent chance of winning that game. And in the Big Twelve,
Speaker 2: it's what Arizona and Texas Tech is that who I
Speaker 2: think it is in the finals.
Speaker 1: So there you go. As far as the SEC.
Speaker 2: Two great games tomorrow with with Tennessee and Auburn and
Speaker 2: Alabama and Florida. Unfortunately none of them involve US. Eight five, nine,
Speaker 2: two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Will take your calls
Speaker 2: and get through this night together and then go to
Speaker 2: bed and get ready for the bracket show. This is
Speaker 2: the Local Toy Dealers KSR post game Show. This is
Speaker 2: the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. Eight five to
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Texas Machine
Speaker 2: is seven seven two seven four five two five four
Speaker 2: One person rights, Matt, How could you go through the
Speaker 2: first segment and not even mentioned the officiating.
Speaker 1: It was some of the worst that I've seen. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Bad, but you know we lost by thirty and as
Speaker 2: I said after the Old Miss game, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to when you lose by thirty, say that any of
Speaker 2: it has to do with officiating.
Speaker 1: I mean, the.
Speaker 2: Non call on the way shot to the face didn't
Speaker 2: make any sense. The continuation thing that they didn't give
Speaker 2: them Mari didn't make sense. I mean we you know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that didn't make sense. But
Speaker 2: we lost by thirty and a lot of the times,
Speaker 2: even in the first half when it was a seven
Speaker 2: point game at halftime, I felt like we were kind
Speaker 2: of hanging on the whole time. So, yeah, the officiating
Speaker 2: was bad. I think I even tweeted during the game
Speaker 2: that the officiating was bad. But that's not why we lost.
Speaker 2: And even though it is bad, and I thought tonight
Speaker 2: was maybe even particularly bad, we just got our our
Speaker 2: tails kicked and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: So all right, who's up first, Josh, Josh? Go ahead, Josh?
Speaker 5: Hey man, what's up? Man? H No, I think the
Speaker 5: vis shaking had nothing to do with it. We were
Speaker 5: just Alabama's got you know, five sixth NBA players we
Speaker 5: have done but uh.
Speaker 6: It's it's crazy.
Speaker 5: We have you know, Butler and Jackson out and then
Speaker 5: we got o Way going the locker room with his
Speaker 5: lips in half and then we got Car on the
Speaker 5: bike with his brace on. But uh, I'm just gonna
Speaker 5: be happy when we get to the NCAA tournament and
Speaker 5: we don't have to play in the SCC team. Maybe
Speaker 5: we get the first and second round without having to
Speaker 5: play a football game on the court. But uh, that
Speaker 5: was crazy. We got blood on the court.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is.
Speaker 2: This has been as physical, and I appreciate the calling
Speaker 2: its physical league as we've ever seen. It's been as
Speaker 2: talented a league as we've ever seen. It's a very
Speaker 2: athletic league. And we also have had an insane amount
Speaker 2: of injuries. I mean, basically, you know, you lose Robinson
Speaker 2: for the year, We've had Butler taken out number of
Speaker 2: different times. Car you know, has the back issue throughout away,
Speaker 2: gets you know, knocked.
Speaker 1: In the face. I mean, there's just it's just one
Speaker 1: thing after another after another after another, and it's been
Speaker 1: really really, really really bad luck for Kentucky.
Speaker 2: But when it comes time for the tournament, we will
Speaker 2: have the closest team we can have to a full roster.
Speaker 2: We're basically going to have everyone but Jackson Robinson, and
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens. I mean, I'm not ready
Speaker 2: to give up on it, even though today is disheartened
Speaker 2: and he didn't give us a grievance.
Speaker 1: There, so you still can do that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I have on the CBS.
Speaker 2: Sports Network because Colorado State's playing Utah State and they
Speaker 2: have a literal giant on the screen, Billy they just
Speaker 2: went off. I think that's Roy Hibbert and he looks
Speaker 2: to be on that set nine feet tall.
Speaker 3: Now, the former Indiana pacer Roy Hibbert.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's him. I don't know, but I
Speaker 2: can tell you next to John Rostein and Jerry Palm.
Speaker 1: He looks very very tall. Who's next?
Speaker 3: Keith is next?
Speaker 1: Keith? Go ahead? Keith?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 8: Well, first the important part YouTube TV. Oh my god,
Speaker 8: I have teenagers and my wife were watching the game
Speaker 8: and we have to put it on mute. And I
Speaker 8: don't know what it is. Do they not have commercial advertisers?
Speaker 2: I don't understand why, Like, I don't get how that
Speaker 2: works either. Did they just I mean that presumably people
Speaker 2: buy commercials during the games. Do they just not show them?
Speaker 2: Or is YouTube, which I would assume is a multi national,
Speaker 2: billion plus dollar corporation.
Speaker 1: Can they not sell ads?
Speaker 2: And can we at least rotate it to where I
Speaker 2: don't have to see that stupid koala look behind his
Speaker 2: back or anymore, like just get new ones. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's it does. The opposite is in for me. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be honest with.
Speaker 8: You that that is exactly what I'm telling my family.
Speaker 8: I thought the dead I thought, I don't believe.
Speaker 1: I don't believe.
Speaker 2: I looked at multiple times because they said it was
Speaker 2: a nursing and a baby, and I don't see two
Speaker 2: otters there.
Speaker 1: I see a dead floating order. I don't care what
Speaker 1: they say.
Speaker 8: Appuche uh to the game, I actually thought. I thought.
Speaker 8: I thought Travis Perry was solid. He had a couple
Speaker 8: of turnovers. Guess what, Wellamut Butler has many turnovers. O
Speaker 8: Way has many turnovers. We just we couldn't hit anything,
Speaker 8: and then we were only close in the first half
Speaker 8: because they didn't hit anything. In the second half, they
Speaker 8: actually hit stuff. So that's that was the difference.
Speaker 7: Let's and.
Speaker 8: Get Butler back and see what happens. That's all I
Speaker 8: got to say.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I appreciate the call. I mean,
Speaker 2: we were in it the first game first half because
Speaker 2: they didn't hit and you know, we shot twenty three
Speaker 2: percent again from three. I mean we you know, we
Speaker 2: we continue to not shoot well from three, which is
Speaker 2: so odd because they were so good early in the
Speaker 2: year shooting from outside. You know, I hesitate to criticize
Speaker 2: like the young guys because they shouldn't have to play
Speaker 2: as much as they're playing. But you know, Travis Perry
Speaker 2: just I mean, he's not gonna be able to guard
Speaker 2: any of those dudes. And then when he is in
Speaker 2: a position where he has to create offense, which when
Speaker 2: you consider who we had on the floor, I guess
Speaker 2: he did, He's just not He's not good enough right
Speaker 2: now for that. And so you it's a men against
Speaker 2: boys thing. I mean, Colin Chandler, who's had some good games,
Speaker 2: this was not one of them. I thought Noah was okay,
Speaker 2: but like again, there was a there was a play
Speaker 2: where he had the guy boxed out completely and the
Speaker 2: other dudes just more athletic, just jumps over his head
Speaker 2: and gets it. I mean, I you know, you can
Speaker 2: play one of those guys or maybe even two, but
Speaker 2: you can't play three because you just it's it's like
Speaker 2: you're you know, they're just not good enough.
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, they're just
Speaker 1: not good enough.
Speaker 2: And when you're playing a team like Alabama, you can
Speaker 2: you can't have that. So it is what it is.
Speaker 2: There's just a huge talent description and then I don't
Speaker 2: think we played well. So if there's a huge talent
Speaker 2: discrepancy and you don't play well, you get a result
Speaker 2: like this. This was just like the Old Miss game.
Speaker 2: I mean, these were very similar results. It's just Old
Speaker 2: Miss was a very good defensive team and this was
Speaker 2: a very good offensive team.
Speaker 1: So who's up next, Ethan? How are you? Ethan?
Speaker 9: Hey man, how's it going good?
Speaker 4: I have a statement and then something that's rant worthy.
Speaker 4: So my statement is as hard as it is tonight.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stay pretty pretty positive. Of all the teams
Speaker 4: in college, I think that's the number two team that
Speaker 4: we probably don't want to see this time of year,
Speaker 4: Auburn being first.
Speaker 1: I think it might be number one. I think it
Speaker 1: might be number one.
Speaker 2: I think Auburn's better than they are, but I just
Speaker 2: think we just I do not know how we could
Speaker 2: score enough points to beat these guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, they scored.
Speaker 2: Over ninety against US three times, just so you know,
Speaker 2: that's the first time in the history of college basketball
Speaker 2: we've allowed any team to score over ninety against US
Speaker 2: three times.
Speaker 1: Of a year. Right.
Speaker 4: And then, like I said, before the season even started,
Speaker 4: you know, we were saying, cope was gonna have or
Speaker 4: consider it a successful season if we even made it
Speaker 4: to the tournament and we're at worst case scenario four seed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean, listen again, overall, and I'm
Speaker 1: with you overall, I'm happy with this year assuming we
Speaker 1: win a game in the NCAA and we can't lose
Speaker 1: to another double digit seed in the first game. What
Speaker 1: was your rant? Uh?
Speaker 4: So, and this goes across every sport inste ever existed,
Speaker 4: But we've got to stop these endgame coach interviews, whether
Speaker 4: it's half times or time, because it's like stupid, Hey,
Speaker 4: what happened in the first half? All they scored more
Speaker 4: points than like, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 2: No especially the ones. Yeah, the ones in the half
Speaker 2: make no sense to me. I don't even know why
Speaker 2: they do those. Uh the coaches clearly hated. The reporter
Speaker 2: doesn't even really know what to ask. I agree with you,
Speaker 2: there's who's asking for that.
Speaker 1: There's no reason to do that, right, right, I appreciate it. Thanks,
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: I don't even know why did they start doing them
Speaker 2: Billy during the half? Like the halftime ones sometimes aren't bad,
Speaker 2: but why why do they do them during the half?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. It just seems like the coaches hate
Speaker 3: doing it though.
Speaker 2: We're sitting there waiting, and we're sitting there waiting on
Speaker 2: an update on O Way and they interrupt the update
Speaker 2: to have her ask uh, pope, like, how's the game going.
Speaker 2: I just it doesn't really seem I don't really know
Speaker 2: what that accomplishes. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: You know, Myron does a lot of that, doesn't he
Speaker 3: Sideline College?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean he's not the one. I mean,
Speaker 2: they've clearly made a conscious decision to set up those interviews,
Speaker 2: and I don't really know why they do that. But
Speaker 2: go ahead, Lance, Lance, Go ahead, Lance.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I have a statement and then a pet peeve. The
Speaker 11: statement is I'm not disappointed in losing at all. I mean,
Speaker 11: going to the game without Butler, I didn't expect to win,
Speaker 11: but it just seemed like they quit early in the
Speaker 11: second half, and that was kind of disheartening to see
Speaker 11: to be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And.
Speaker 11: Pet Peeve is, I cannot stand when people incorrectly use
Speaker 11: the forms of the word you're in two in sentences.
Speaker 1: Oh, you mean when they spell it wrong like why.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, when they spell when they spell it wrong
Speaker 11: like a text or an email or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if there's one thing that is consistent,
Speaker 2: I would say forty percent of all the tweets that
Speaker 2: tell me I am a you know, stupid liberal or
Speaker 2: whatever use your incorrectly. They will say, why you are
Speaker 2: a stupid liberal? That that happens all the time. So
Speaker 2: you're exactly right. Two being to or too that one
Speaker 2: you don't see as much. But I agree with you,
Speaker 2: that's a pretty egregious error too. Yep, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: I agree. I like those. I think those are those
Speaker 1: are very good.
Speaker 2: Do you know how many times I've gotten the phrase
Speaker 2: in the last twenty years, Billy, you're stupid while you
Speaker 2: are stupid.
Speaker 1: Literally the amount of time. And it's from all different forms.
Speaker 1: It can be political.
Speaker 2: It could be Tennessee fans, it can be Arkansas fans,
Speaker 2: Louisville fans, but that you're stupid while you are or
Speaker 2: you're an idiot or you're a snowflake or whatever, and
Speaker 2: they the amount of times that that is then while
Speaker 2: you are is pretty astounding.
Speaker 3: Who's next, Billy, Billy?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Billy. Oh my goodness, Billy, Yes, go ahead.
Speaker 10: What's that mean?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 8: I got a big voice.
Speaker 6: I understand, But I'm just saying they act like they're
Speaker 6: beating the high school team.
Speaker 8: What I would do if I was a ghost.
Speaker 12: Pope, recognize that score that you just got tonight, got
Speaker 12: your you know, beat up with, and give it back
Speaker 12: to them.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think we have the ability to beat
Speaker 1: them by thirty. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna say, now.
Speaker 8: Right back to him.
Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate the call. That's two cuss words
Speaker 2: in one call. You you can't cuss twice in one
Speaker 2: one call, Prize Billy, you even let him do it once?
Speaker 2: Is it just because it's late at night?
Speaker 3: Feel Yeah, I got the first one. I think I
Speaker 3: got the second one.
Speaker 2: So whoever, I hope you got the second one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: no cussing eighty two eighty seven. I mean, I didn't
Speaker 2: feel like they did anything wrong. I didn't feel like Alabama,
Speaker 2: you know, I didn't really Maybe they left the starters
Speaker 2: in a minute longer than I would have. But you know,
Speaker 2: I say this a lot if you if you don't
Speaker 2: want that to happen and stop them, but we just
Speaker 2: didn't have it. So you know, they got a great
Speaker 2: team that when they lose Sears, they're gonna be different.
Speaker 1: I mean that. You know, we've been a little unfortunate
Speaker 1: in that.
Speaker 2: Our rivals Auburn with Broom, Alabama Sears, and then Tennessee
Speaker 2: last year with connect and and uh Chaslnier, although we
Speaker 2: beat them both times, but both those teams have gotten
Speaker 2: kind of really unusually good transfers, and in the case
Speaker 2: of Broom and Sears, they've stayed multiple years. You know
Speaker 2: that's that's that's hurt us because you get a good
Speaker 2: transfer and then have him a couple of years like
Speaker 2: we might with what O way, you really got something.
Speaker 1: H something special. Who's next?
Speaker 3: Skyler, Skyler?
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Skyler, Gyladine Davis, Hey, I want to shout
Speaker 13: out my cal Poly Mustang from sam Luis Obisvioll California.
Speaker 13: They're they were they made it to the Big West semifinal.
Speaker 10: Guys.
Speaker 2: I was actually watching I was watching your Cal Poly
Speaker 2: Mustangs just a little while ago and uh.
Speaker 13: The farthest they've ever they've ever gotten.
Speaker 1: I think it was a good story.
Speaker 2: They were like they came in the tournament like eleven
Speaker 2: and eighteen and and made it to the semifinals, and uh,
Speaker 2: they're gonna end up losing, but you're gonna get uc
Speaker 2: Irvin and U see San Diego playing for a tournament
Speaker 2: bid and both those teams.
Speaker 14: It's Irvine, Matt, it's Irvine.
Speaker 2: Not listen, you California people. Don't have to act like
Speaker 2: you know everything. You see Irvine and you see San Diego.
Speaker 2: Those are both very good teams. And the winner will
Speaker 2: probably be like a thirteen seed that is very dangerous
Speaker 2: in the tournament.
Speaker 10: Gonna be good.
Speaker 13: I got an unpopular opinion. Okay, yes, I actually I
Speaker 13: actually appreciate the YouTube TV shorts and you can come
Speaker 13: to San Luis Obispo and you can see those otters
Speaker 13: in more Obey, I invite you come on out.
Speaker 1: Are they do they look dead?
Speaker 7: They do?
Speaker 10: Know, they're they're great, They're great.
Speaker 13: Hey, couple things, Yeah, but that I actually appreciate it
Speaker 13: more than the drug commercials and seal as well.
Speaker 2: There is I will say I had a woman I
Speaker 2: know write me and say she doesn't watch a ton
Speaker 2: of UK games. And she wrote me and said, is
Speaker 2: it just me? Or is there an insane amount of
Speaker 2: ED commercials? And I agree with you that it does
Speaker 2: feel like we're on an insane run of you ED
Speaker 2: commercials during these games.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 13: You watch the commercials and you're like, do I need this?
Speaker 2: It convinces you you do? Well, that's interesting, all right.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Good congrats to your cal Poly
Speaker 2: slow performance this year. AF I'm nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: Let's take a break. It's late at night. We got
Speaker 2: our tails whipped. But the NCAA tournament bracket comes out Sunday,
Speaker 2: and I still feel hope we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: It's a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Welcome back.
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. I'm
Speaker 2: glad to see a lot of people seems to agree
Speaker 2: with me on the YouTube TV's in commercials. They it
Speaker 2: seems like I'm not the only one that's not a fan.
Speaker 2: Nathan says, I hate the AI voices in commercials. Okay, So, Nathan,
Speaker 2: I want to say something to you I didn't expect
Speaker 2: by the way during the SEC tournament doing me an
Speaker 2: airing of grievances show, but we lost that bad. I
Speaker 2: do have to say to you, Nathan, Here's what I
Speaker 2: don't understand about the AI voice. All right, In theory
Speaker 2: AI billy, right, shouldn't it have like all information? Is
Speaker 2: it that the whole point of it is, like you
Speaker 2: can Why is there only one voice? Why is every
Speaker 2: AI commercial the same voice? In theory, shouldn't AI have
Speaker 2: access to like every voice? Why is it that same voice?
Speaker 2: All of you know it? You've heard it on a
Speaker 2: million commercials? Why is that the only AI voice? Why
Speaker 2: is there only one tone of voice? I can get
Speaker 2: on ways and get like nine different accents telling me
Speaker 2: what road to go to, and yet AI it's all
Speaker 2: that same voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they want you to know
Speaker 3: it's AI and that's why they do it that voice.
Speaker 2: But but why would you want I mean, shouldn't you
Speaker 2: not want people to know it's AI?
Speaker 1: Like the goal is.
Speaker 2: People I don't think want to be read commercials by computers? Right,
Speaker 2: So in theory, shouldn't it not say shouldn't the AI
Speaker 2: be so good?
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like gay I? And why would you
Speaker 1: have the same voice.
Speaker 2: There's only one AI voice and we all you, all
Speaker 2: of you listening, can hear it in your head.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll play a commercial before the show ends
Speaker 1: with that voice. Why do they do that? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: It's a good question, all right. I did find the
Speaker 3: YouTube TV zen channel though, which I have on now.
Speaker 1: And Harry, there's there's not a ho it is.
Speaker 3: It's twenty four to seven YouTube TV clip back and
Speaker 3: forth on a delightful gondola ride and now I'm looking
Speaker 3: at a koala bear.
Speaker 2: Say it's the same, Like, why don't they put that
Speaker 2: stupid koala on the gondola then run into the otter
Speaker 2: in the water.
Speaker 1: That would be much easier and do it in Paris?
Speaker 1: All right, I'll shut up. Who's next? Eric? Eric? Go ahead? Eric?
Speaker 7: Hey? That unpopular opinion? How do you get the uh
Speaker 7: the pregame show?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 7: To host that? I know you do the before? But
Speaker 7: is there anyone more unsufferable to listen to the Cameron
Speaker 7: too shot? No?
Speaker 1: I mean I listen those guys.
Speaker 2: You know Cameron's a legend at UK and that he's
Speaker 2: been doing a long time. I do think they fight
Speaker 2: too much. If I'm gonna be honest with you. I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm listening to two old women bicker at
Speaker 2: the grocery sometimes.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I like those guys.
Speaker 7: I love me some dust Baker, I mean literals. For
Speaker 7: the time I was a kid, I just for some
Speaker 7: reason I thought he was super cool. But Lord Cameron,
Speaker 7: he uh he thinks he's uh Chatmanrie incarnate deu just givings.
Speaker 7: But uh, I wish that you or Ryan or anybody.
Speaker 1: But I used to do it. They got that. They
Speaker 1: got rid of me.
Speaker 2: If you remember when I when I did Hey Kentucky,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't let me be on it anymore.
Speaker 1: So so that's okay, I do it. I doing it?
Speaker 7: Are you able to do that?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 7: Beforehand? And I one quick question too, this is this
Speaker 7: is totally all subject. When you do like you, I'm
Speaker 7: a big fan when you take a hard break? What
Speaker 7: who dictates that? Like in the morning shows?
Speaker 1: Like that? Mean?
Speaker 2: So there are because we're on network, right, because we
Speaker 2: have because we're on the network, that there are breaks
Speaker 2: that are local breaks, and there are breaks that are
Speaker 2: network breaks. And in order so that all forty stations
Speaker 2: don't have to have a person there hitting the button
Speaker 2: for every break, you take a hard one at the
Speaker 2: thirty and at the end so that the networks can
Speaker 2: go to their break at the same time. So that's why,
Speaker 2: and you can't. There's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 2: Fires automatically, and Billy or Shannon or whoever's in the
Speaker 2: studio will tell me thirty seconds, ten seconds, and then
Speaker 2: that's what happens.
Speaker 7: Okay. Now, I was always just I mean, it's I
Speaker 7: can only ask you this at two in the morning.
Speaker 2: But I know, dude, if there was ever gonna be
Speaker 2: a night taskt it's when he lose by thirty in
Speaker 2: the SEC tournament.
Speaker 1: So I'm fine with it, all right, buddy, Thanks appreciate
Speaker 1: the call.
Speaker 2: By the way, the if you listened to the last
Speaker 2: night's postgame show, there were two of my friends who
Speaker 2: were who were up with me.
Speaker 1: They are both Billy passed out of sleep on the couch.
Speaker 2: Neither one of them made it to the uh. Neither
Speaker 2: one of them made it the next night. Now I
Speaker 2: have all of my friends walking in this room, including
Speaker 2: Tall who has on a shirt that says Ladies and Gentlemen,
Speaker 2: it's mister Conway Twitty with a picture of him in
Speaker 2: his hair.
Speaker 3: Who's up next, Spencer?
Speaker 1: Spencer? Go ahead, Spencer. Hello there, Mario, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Spencer?
Speaker 15: Hey Matt, first time, longtime?
Speaker 1: Who was.
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 15: My only really call for tonight is I think a
Speaker 15: freshmen are kind of just a step behind. But I
Speaker 15: really have confidence in what they're going to do in
Speaker 15: the future. I go to all three of them, especially
Speaker 15: the Kentucky boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I have some confidence.
Speaker 2: I think they all have abilities. Here's what I think
Speaker 2: about when I watched, when I watch was watching this
Speaker 2: tonight with all three of the men.
Speaker 1: At the same time.
Speaker 2: You we've got to have better athletes.
Speaker 1: We can't have all three of those guys. We ate.
Speaker 2: Hey, if we're gonna be in here, you got bread
Speaker 2: down notes. We can't have all three of those guys
Speaker 2: in at the same time. It's just not athletic enough.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Billy, they just broke the couch.
Speaker 3: They broke the couch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate the car. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: They literally four of them set on a couch together
Speaker 2: and they just broke this air.
Speaker 1: And I don't they didn't do anything. They just they
Speaker 1: are too big for the couch. Mario fell off the couch.
Speaker 2: I can hear them back then, and you can hear
Speaker 2: them laughing like children, cackling. This is not gonna go
Speaker 2: in the best of our couches. You all broke that couch.
Speaker 2: You have ruined Hubby's air b and b.
Speaker 1: Rating my goodness. All right, well, I guess we'll deal
Speaker 1: with that in the morning. Who's next, Blake, Blake? What's
Speaker 1: did you do that? Go ahead? What's going on?
Speaker 15: Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: Yes? Hello? Yeah, go ahead?
Speaker 15: All right?
Speaker 14: So big fan man, I just started listening, you know,
Speaker 14: about three years ago, and big fan, thank you very much.
Speaker 14: A bunch of people that are, you know, listeners.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 14: I'm not too I'm much too mad about this season,
Speaker 14: considering with what's happened the last few years. What I
Speaker 14: expected was one SEC tournament win. And I will be
Speaker 14: completely happy if we get a into a tournament.
Speaker 1: Went yeah, I mean, I think you gotta wine. I
Speaker 1: think you gotta win one.
Speaker 2: But I'm with you if you if you as long
Speaker 2: as you win one, I'm okay with it. Just when
Speaker 2: when you consider what's happened with injuries and all.
Speaker 14: That, absolutely, man, uh, you know, I was born in
Speaker 14: ninety two, about two weeks before the Crystal Linger shot.
Speaker 14: Uh my, you know my birthday was a day and
Speaker 14: Mark Prope was hired.
Speaker 1: So oh that's good.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, it's been a weird year, right, I appreciate,
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. We've gotten some great, great you know,
Speaker 2: we've gotten some great wins, and we've also had a
Speaker 2: ton of injuries. And we'll just see what happens next week.
Speaker 2: I'm still very excited about the tournament. I think positive
Speaker 2: things can happen. And I think you four look ridiculous
Speaker 2: sitting on that broken couch right now, Like you look ridiculous, Mario,
Speaker 2: What what did you do? I mean, they reilly, They said,
Speaker 2: have you ever seen a couch collapse? They're not even that.
Speaker 3: Big a guys, Yeah, say Mario.
Speaker 2: Four people on a three person couch just completely collapsed
Speaker 2: it in the middle of this Airbnb in Nashville. So,
Speaker 2: by the way, if you rented an AIRBNDB at Nashville,
Speaker 2: you might need a new couch thanks to my group.
Speaker 1: Who's next, David, David, Go ahead, David, Matt.
Speaker 6: There's troubling and unmistakable evidence that Mark Pope has no
Speaker 6: idea how to coach defense in this league?
Speaker 1: Well, who do we have that? But who's who do
Speaker 1: we have that's a good defender?
Speaker 2: Like, who do we have that's a good no hate,
Speaker 2: I'm asking you a question, who's a good defender?
Speaker 6: That's exactly my That's exactly my point, Matt. He built
Speaker 6: this roster with a bunch of guys that had no
Speaker 6: idea how to play defense.
Speaker 1: But that was smart. That that was a smart Okay,
Speaker 1: who would you like? Hang on?
Speaker 2: All right, Hey, unless you want me to hang up,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a chance. Turning down for a second.
Speaker 2: I will give you a chance to have a conversation.
Speaker 2: But if you just try to talk over me, I
Speaker 2: have a dump button and you'll go away. So my
Speaker 2: question is, if you want to answer the question, who
Speaker 2: did he go after getting that? He didn't get that?
Speaker 2: You think he should have? That would have been a
Speaker 2: really good defensive player.
Speaker 6: Okay, Matt, that's one question. Another question is, but you
Speaker 6: didn't answer.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate the call. I asked you
Speaker 1: a question.
Speaker 2: It's easy to complain about something, but then you have
Speaker 2: to offer a solution. All right, Mark Pope made a
Speaker 2: decision that he thought the best way to build this
Speaker 2: team was to get a bunch of guys who could score,
Speaker 2: and he got two defensive Players of the Year and
Speaker 2: Butler and Williams. Williams to me, I don't totally understand
Speaker 2: how he was defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 1: But it's a pretty good defender. Butler is hurt.
Speaker 2: So I don't know really what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: As far as the other guys, they're not good defend.
Speaker 2: I don't care what he coaches. Kobe Bray is not
Speaker 2: gonna be able to guard guys on the perimeter. Neither
Speaker 2: is Travis Perry. Neither is Ansley olmanor Now you could say, well,
Speaker 2: he could have go and gone and got another guys,
Speaker 2: but we needed points. He had no players and he
Speaker 2: had four weeks. Now, if you want to make that
Speaker 2: decision next year, if he brings a team here next
Speaker 2: year and no one can guard, then then I think
Speaker 2: it's a legitimate criticism. But he's got big time athletes
Speaker 2: coming in here next year. I don't know how good
Speaker 2: Jasper Johnson, Alcai Moreno and those guys will be. Katon
Speaker 2: Lewis will be next year, but they're all good athletes
Speaker 2: and they'll be able to defend.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else he was supposed to do
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: He if you go look into portal, you don't get
Speaker 2: a lot of great defenders. You get a lot of scorers,
Speaker 2: and he's got scores. They just can't guard people. And
Speaker 2: one of the two dudes that we had that was
Speaker 2: a good defender is hurt what he's supposed to do.
Speaker 2: And probably our third best defender, which is Jackson Robinson,
Speaker 2: is also hurt. A five nine two eighty seven. We're
Speaker 2: gonna take a break. I'm gonna look and see what
Speaker 2: they can do about this couch. And it is the
Speaker 2: local to the any Payers show, Welcome Back, It is
Speaker 2: the local toy Dealers KSR post game show, Matt Jones
Speaker 2: here in his Airbnb, and Wendy Nashville, everybody be careful
Speaker 2: in Nashville. And four of my friends sitting on one
Speaker 2: broken couch. I noted Billy. One side of the couch
Speaker 2: has my friend Tall, who weighs about two to eighty.
Speaker 2: The other side of the couch has Mario that weighs
Speaker 2: one forty. And it is Mario's side of the couch
Speaker 2: that broke, which I'm fascinated as to how that worked
Speaker 2: just from a weight perspective.
Speaker 1: But it was Mario's side of the couch that broke.
Speaker 3: It's not about the number, it's about how you use it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's apparently what it is.
Speaker 2: One person writes Matt, I am concerned about Pope's defense
Speaker 2: as well, but I think it's hard to judge him
Speaker 2: on this year because of the players that they have.
Speaker 1: I agree with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look historically with Pope, they haven't
Speaker 2: been great defensively. I think long term that's not a
Speaker 2: ridiculous thing to worry about. I just think it's hard
Speaker 2: to do it with this team. You had three or
Speaker 2: four weeks. I do wonder sometimes if the fact that
Speaker 2: I think we overachieved part of the year. First of all,
Speaker 2: this year we overachieved in some ways. We also underachieved
Speaker 2: in some ways.
Speaker 1: We overachieved it.
Speaker 2: We overachieved in in in beating Duke in Florida and
Speaker 2: those teams. We also underachieved in losing to Vandy and
Speaker 2: Texas and that kind of thing. So it's it's it's
Speaker 2: hard to know. And that's what Pope was at BYU.
Speaker 2: At BYU, Pope could beat anybody and they would lose
Speaker 2: to anybody. And we've had a little bit of that
Speaker 2: with with Kentucky this year.
Speaker 1: Who's next, Sean, Sean, go ahead, Sean, hey man.
Speaker 16: I was just wanting to say, first of all, we
Speaker 16: have YouTube TV, and I would say, like the worst
Speaker 16: commercials or the worst is in moment is like the Actually,
Speaker 16: I would say the Koala, you.
Speaker 2: Really don't like the Koala because the quality I will know,
Speaker 2: can I say something about the qual since we have
Speaker 2: it on?
Speaker 1: The Koala gets a little too in the mint with
Speaker 1: itself during that thing too.
Speaker 16: I just.
Speaker 1: I just want, I just want.
Speaker 2: You to for those of you that have it, the
Speaker 2: Koala gets a little intimate and then stares into your
Speaker 2: eye while he does it. Just when you're watching it, Billy,
Speaker 2: I'm just the next time you're watching it, just note
Speaker 2: that that happens.
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 16: And then and I was gonna say, second of all,
Speaker 16: since the game ended up, that people have been blowing
Speaker 16: me up with like the I'm not sure Mark Pope
Speaker 16: was the right and I keep saying like, just wait
Speaker 16: till we get the recruits next year.
Speaker 10: And because this team is done great with his.
Speaker 2: Stand, why people I don't understand why people would say that.
Speaker 2: I mean again, I would ask you name the NBA
Speaker 2: player on this team, Like, who is the NBA player
Speaker 2: on this team?
Speaker 1: We don't have one?
Speaker 7: Maybe?
Speaker 16: Yeah, And that's what I keep like, wait till we
Speaker 16: get Johnson moreno everybody else plus O way it Verry.
Speaker 16: Next year's team is gonna be like solid.
Speaker 1: I hope.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of it's gonna be
Speaker 2: about what transfers he's able to get in the portal
Speaker 2: this year, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's but I'm keeping high hopes up. It was
Speaker 16: a little down, it was a it was a letdown tonight.
Speaker 16: But I mean that's gonna happen with this team. Like
Speaker 16: it's just with all the injuries and everything, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I agree. Appreciate the call man.
Speaker 2: And and by the way, just watch when watch when
Speaker 2: when he and you know when that Kuala looks at you,
Speaker 2: just look where his hands are. Uh when he does it,
Speaker 2: it's not good. They'll do four more. Who's next.
Speaker 3: He's just trying to have his own moment, is in.
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
Speaker 2: But it's weird because the guy's right, he's the qualis
Speaker 2: tears in your eye while he's doing it too.
Speaker 1: Who's next, Michael, Michael?
Speaker 17: Go ahead, Michael, hey man, how are you doing coming
Speaker 17: from Little Rock, Arkansas while we're dodging tornadoes? I think
Speaker 17: I'd rather have a tornado than watch this zen.
Speaker 2: Then, by the way, everybody should be safe, especially where
Speaker 2: you are. But even here in Nashville, they're actually telling
Speaker 2: people that are going to games tomorrow to plan on
Speaker 2: getting there early. I think they want to get people
Speaker 2: in the arena because they're expecting the storm to hit
Speaker 2: right during that time.
Speaker 17: But go ahead, Yeah, my pet peeve, can we just
Speaker 17: stop the ten minute reviews on the on something that
Speaker 17: they end up saying is a common foul? I mean
Speaker 17: that just it's a big pet peeve of mine. I
Speaker 17: know they made a couple of comments, but one of
Speaker 17: them was the sideline reporter talked about how Pope was
Speaker 17: just really mad in the huddle, telling his team that
Speaker 17: they had just completely just quit on defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah they did. I think they did. I think he
Speaker 2: should be mad. He should be mad. They did quit
Speaker 2: in that second half. And I thought they quit against
Speaker 2: Old miss too, and that and that is a little disheartening.
Speaker 2: You know, hopefully you know they didn't quit last night,
Speaker 2: but I do think they quit a little bit tonight, right.
Speaker 17: And the last thing I want to say is, I'd
Speaker 17: really like for one time that if anybody goes off
Speaker 17: of a pick that they don't get held or they
Speaker 17: don't get like a hip check, like like they're in
Speaker 17: hockey or whatever, because I mean, coming off a pick
Speaker 17: that's like just barely it's like sighting through a war zone.
Speaker 17: And I mean it's in the whole SEC. But I
Speaker 17: mean that happened a lot tonight.
Speaker 2: Jay Williams had an interesting point tonight, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: the call. Jay Williams said he thinks this league has
Speaker 2: been as physical as any league in the last twenty
Speaker 2: five years, and he said, I wonder if it'll hurt
Speaker 2: the teams in the SEC and the NCAA tournament when
Speaker 2: they start calling that stuff fouls.
Speaker 1: It'd be interesting to see.
Speaker 2: It might help us because we may be the least
Speaker 2: physical team of the physical teams, but they do allow,
Speaker 2: especially off motion. But like you know, this is what
Speaker 2: I would say to Mark Pope, is we got to
Speaker 2: match it. If they're gonna be allowed to hold, then
Speaker 2: we need to hold because we lay off on those
Speaker 2: picks and we end up giving up threes. And so
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I'll be interested to see
Speaker 2: what happens in the tournament, because I do think they
Speaker 2: that the league has gotten insanely physical this year, and
Speaker 2: the rest have kind of let it happen.
Speaker 1: Who's next?
Speaker 3: Todd is next?
Speaker 1: Todd? Go ahead, Todd, bro Matt.
Speaker 10: We got out behind the wood shed tonight, didn't we Yes?
Speaker 1: We did. That second half was embarrassing. It was weird.
Speaker 1: It didn't feel like a march game.
Speaker 2: You know, in March games, I'm usually up like pacing,
Speaker 2: and it just felt like I was watching like a
Speaker 2: scrimmage because it was almost like I didn't care because
Speaker 2: I thought we're about to get destroyed, and then we did.
Speaker 10: Yes, And I agree with you and what other people
Speaker 10: has said too that you know, Pope had very little
Speaker 10: time to get this team together, and for what he
Speaker 10: was able to do has been has been purty doll
Speaker 10: gone good. But you know, we are bad on defense,
Speaker 10: and hopefully that can be fixed because Pope when he played,
Speaker 10: you know, they were a canacious defense.
Speaker 2: Yes, but they were also insanely athletic and this team
Speaker 2: at its core, this team is not athletic. Like this
Speaker 2: team is probably the least athletic Kentucky team since like
Speaker 2: Patinos first team, you know, I mean really we we
Speaker 2: A lot of our guys can barely dunk. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's be real, they can't. A lot of them can
Speaker 2: barely dunk. Always pretty good athlete, Amar and Garrison for
Speaker 2: bigs or decent athletes, but like a lot of Kobe,
Speaker 2: I mean, love of our guys are not good athletes,
Speaker 2: and so to be. You know, I think a big
Speaker 2: part of being good defensively is being athletic.
Speaker 1: And we just and we're used.
Speaker 2: To under cal having crazy good athletes and that's just
Speaker 2: not what this team is.
Speaker 10: Also, I wanted to speak on the Moreno guy coming in. Uh,
Speaker 10: you know, he's a big guy and everything, and but
Speaker 10: you gotta look at it. You know, he's he's a freshman.
Speaker 10: He's playing against high school teams. If he comes in
Speaker 10: and he's able to do that against experienced SCC players,
Speaker 10: then say we got something. But you know, we're gonna.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be a backup next year. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think Moreno has a huge upside for the future. But
Speaker 2: he's not your starting five next year. We'll have to
Speaker 2: see whether they think Garrison is. I think they gotta
Speaker 2: get another big in the portal. Jasper Johnson is a
Speaker 2: starter next year. The other two guys are not. In
Speaker 2: my opinion, I don't think they're starters. I think Jasper
Speaker 2: Johnson's is. I think we come into next season with
Speaker 2: two starters. I feel really good good about o Way
Speaker 2: and Jasper. Maybe Garrison gets there, but they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to go get two or three starters in the portal.
Speaker 2: They need to get a shooter and then either Chandler
Speaker 2: or Noah or and Perry they're gonna have to step
Speaker 2: up and play a lot better.
Speaker 1: But I mean, this is a big ortal for Pope.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to go get like three really good guys.
Speaker 2: I was talking to a guy at the game tonight
Speaker 2: who's a reporter, who said he he wouldn't tell me
Speaker 2: who it is, but he was like, I think they're
Speaker 2: gonna get there's one stud they already have, and uh,
Speaker 2: that's good. I was glad to hear it, but I
Speaker 2: don't know who it is.
Speaker 10: And Chandler, you got to remember too, you.
Speaker 2: Know that's true. But he's athletic. We're talking about athletes.
Speaker 2: I forgot about him. He is athletic, even though he's
Speaker 2: you know, he's still a freshman.
Speaker 10: And you know, get get the rushed out of him,
Speaker 10: and you know he may be an entirely different player
Speaker 10: next year.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I think you're right. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: We'll do two more and we'll call it a night
Speaker 2: and a weekend. Who's next, Chris, Chris, go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt, A couple of quick questions, and then at
Speaker 9: pet Peeve. First question is do you think a coach
Speaker 9: his job is to put his players in the best
Speaker 9: position to succeed.
Speaker 1: I do yes.
Speaker 9: So if we don't have the athletes on defense, why
Speaker 9: are we not switching up our defense keep the other
Speaker 9: team's offense.
Speaker 1: I think that's a I think that's a fair question.
Speaker 2: I think what my answer would be is, you know,
Speaker 2: you play these teams that shoot threes well, and you
Speaker 2: play zone, they're gonna kill you.
Speaker 1: It's probably what he would say, like, you.
Speaker 2: Play zone against Alabama Florida teams like that, they're gonna
Speaker 2: score one hundred and thirty points.
Speaker 1: It's probably what he would say, they played zone.
Speaker 2: A couple of plays tonight and it seemed to help
Speaker 2: a little bit, and then they hit a couple of
Speaker 2: threes and they got out of it. And so you know,
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, but you still to be
Speaker 2: a good zone team. You still need to be athletic,
Speaker 2: and we're just not athletics.
Speaker 9: I agree. I just I'm not saying to do it
Speaker 9: one time or going one.
Speaker 1: Way or all the other.
Speaker 9: Just mix it up right, keep it on their toasts. And
Speaker 9: my pet peeve is stupid. People don't know they're stupid.
Speaker 9: Agorance is bliss go cat.
Speaker 2: Well that's the truth. I appreciate the call. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's a whole other thing. The most confident people are
Speaker 2: usually the dumbest. But but you know, think about uh.
Speaker 1: Tall to himself. Think about when Cal.
Speaker 2: We had good teams under Cal and we might draw
Speaker 2: like Davidson in the first round of tournament or Wafford,
Speaker 2: and we go, oh, oh, what's gonna happen this week?
Speaker 2: And that team would be full of unathletic guys who
Speaker 2: could execute. And then what happened when athletic dudes who
Speaker 2: were playing well played against them.
Speaker 1: We beat them by twenty five points. Because they just
Speaker 1: couldn't guard us.
Speaker 2: Right, it's not that extreme, but our athletes aren't nearly
Speaker 2: as good at athletes as these teams were playing right now,
Speaker 2: and I think that'll be better starting next year. Let
Speaker 2: me just use example of Vansley Almanor. I love Ansley Almanor.
Speaker 2: I love that he hits corner threes. I love I
Speaker 2: think he's he seems like a great kid, and he's
Speaker 2: made some big shots for us. If Ansley Almanor had
Speaker 2: not come here, do you know where he was gonna
Speaker 2: play basketball next year?
Speaker 1: Now? This year, it was gonna be at Sienna. Okay,
Speaker 1: he was gonna be at Sienna if he didn't come here.
Speaker 2: So you know, you got to put perspective on this
Speaker 2: was a guy who played at Fairley Dickinson, who's gonna
Speaker 2: go to Sienna, who now because of the injuries, has
Speaker 2: to be like our seventh mate.
Speaker 1: That's the way it goes. One more? Who's next?
Speaker 3: Greg?
Speaker 1: Greg? Go ahead? Greg?
Speaker 12: Hey, Matt, how are you?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Well?
Speaker 12: I've got a fear and a grievance, So I'll start
Speaker 12: with a fear. Have you watched any high point university
Speaker 12: basketball this year?
Speaker 2: I have not although I've seen that they can be
Speaker 2: very dangerous and they are projected kind of in that
Speaker 2: thirteen to fourteen range.
Speaker 12: Yep, yeah, I've got that fear. And actually, a couple
Speaker 12: of weeks ago, in one of Lenardi's bracket versions, he
Speaker 12: had us matched up with him, and they just remind
Speaker 12: me of of a Mississippi Lights with a lot of slashers,
Speaker 12: a lot of athletes, a lot of size.
Speaker 1: They do have the key there, but the key is
Speaker 1: the that is the size part. If we if we
Speaker 1: we had, we do have.
Speaker 2: Size on them, and so that would be our advantage
Speaker 2: in that game. Plus, I think you know, they slash
Speaker 2: a lot, but we we do.
Speaker 1: We do shoot.
Speaker 2: I think they'd have a hard time scoring with us
Speaker 2: if we play like we should in.
Speaker 1: A game like that.
Speaker 12: I definitely, I definitely think I agree with you. I
Speaker 12: think we'd be the favorite. But I do see it
Speaker 12: as as the type of style that could could give
Speaker 12: us some fips.
Speaker 9: If we're off.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's my grievance, all right, my grievance
Speaker 12: the potholes. And here's my thoughts. In the Year of
Speaker 12: Our Our Lord twenty twenty five. How is it that,
Speaker 12: as you're you're rolling from winter into spring. You have
Speaker 12: a crew come out and six potholes on a Monday,
Speaker 12: and they're all broken up by Wednesday or Thursday.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know, I did hear when we talked about potholes
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: Somebody told us that we have more potholes in Kentucky
Speaker 2: than anywhere else because the weather stuff.
Speaker 1: I might as well believe him on that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's a good way to end it,
Speaker 2: because who knows what the what the answer is? Hey, Billy,
Speaker 2: thank you very much for being around this weekend. I
Speaker 2: know you've been up as much as I have. Thank
Speaker 2: you all for listening, especially if you're listening now. If anybody,
Speaker 2: if anyone can get my friend the Turkey Hunter to
