Speaker 4: Stein is gonna come join us and he will be

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: in here to sort of talk. I think we're just

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 4: gonna talk everything. He was here at this bar Saturday

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 4: night watching the game, so we'll talk to him about

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: what he thinks about the team. But also maybe Drew

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: the best storyteller. I mean probably he and DeMarcus you

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: think are the best storytellers of the cal Era in

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: terms of having players.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, not because they're good storytellers, just because they don't

29
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: care to say anything. Yeah, they don't let it fly.

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: They're not gonna hide anything. The most open Doran.

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 4: And Marcus Tigue were pretty open, but I think Willy

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: will even take it to another.

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: We had Willy this summer when you were gone, and

34
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: I asked him can we talk about the Bahamas? And

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: he said yes. It was the day we had so

36
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: many people. We only got a couple of minutes with

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: him and we didn't get much out of him. So

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: we know he's willing to go there if he wants to.

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 5: He's one of those guys that you know, we'll have

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 5: him on for a segment. We could have a whole

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: show with the guy like that. I'm just making a point.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: He could just do you know, we're gonna have him

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: on more than a segment if he will stay. I

44
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 4: assume he would, so he's in town. He was here

45
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: watching the game Saturday, looking forward to that. We also

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: have new headsets, so if we if you're listening and

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 4: we sound differently, it's because they tell me Ryan, these

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: are state of the art headsets. Yours.

49
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: Your two ear pieces are actually attached.

50
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: For the first time in the month and a half.

51
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Mine looked like a couple of mice had been eating

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: on it for a couple of years.

53
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

54
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 5: Drew's Drew actually had the best of all of us.

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 5: But we actually have a fourth set. Like Willie's even

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: gonna have a new headset when he comes and joined me.

57
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: You have mice eating on Mine was all chewed up,

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 5: Like the microphone cover was chewed up.

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: The head phone covers were all chewed up.

60
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: I really liked leaving the show and being out in

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: public and people would be like, you have like black

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: foam all over your ear. It's like, yeah, it's our

63
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: crappy headsets that would just leave a trail of radio.

64
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: Well, we have new ones. I was told they were

65
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: here for two and a half weeks and no one

66
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: brought them here. So but luckily we got them and

67
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: now we're ready to go. And what a great day

68
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: like Cats beat Mississippi State on Saturday night. Awesome when

69
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: on the road. It's their fourth victory over a team

70
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: that at the time was in the top twelve of

71
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: the NET. Gets Kentucky to two and one in the SEC.

72
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: Part of you know, maybe the separation of the SEC

73
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 4: a little bit. Five teams went on the road and

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: they might be the five best teams in the conference. Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee,

75
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 4: Florida and US all went on the road and beat

76
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: a good team on the road. So and I think

77
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: you could kind of see there haven't been a lot

78
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: of road wins that might be the sort of first

79
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: step in Okay, here are your best teams. But when

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: it comes to Kentucky, tough game, got a big lead,

81
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: gave it up, fell behind, hit the shots to come

82
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: back and win. I thought it was a great gutsy

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: test for this group. Jackson Robinson broke out my guy,

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: Ansley Almanor, who Mario just trashed before the season started.

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: But I took up for it because I saw something

86
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: from him. Hit three big three and Ryan we get

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: the victory.

88
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: Man, what a great game. You know, both teams played

89
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: a really high level. Man, and I think when most

90
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: of us thought the game would maybe in the seventies.

91
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: I think Jack Gibbons even said the sixties, ninety five,

92
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: ninety I mean, it was just a fun game to watch.

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Shot the boxtreamely will.

94
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: But I think if you told me that Kobe Bray

95
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: was only gonna go one of five for threes, I'd

96
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: have thought, oh, we're in trouble. Didn't realize that Jackson

97
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 5: Robinson was just going to hit everything he threw up

98
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: in the game.

99
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Jackson Robinson, you know, we needed that

100
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: game from him. I mean that's you know, I feel

101
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: like I was like a lone voice in the woods.

102
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: Think about how many people have called this show and said, Matt,

103
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: why do you keep saying Jackson Robinson has to be

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 4: our best player. That's why, yep, Because if we don't

105
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 4: have that, it will be very hard to win. Because,

106
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: you know, let's be honest, until the second half, I mean,

107
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: Jackson Robinson was the only one making shots for most

108
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: of the game. Now, Butler hit some big ones obviously Almanor,

109
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: but we're not in that game in the first half

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: without Jackson Robinson, we're down twelve again at halftime. He

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: really was huge.

112
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and my favorite part with that is it didn't

113
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: take him long. Kentucky still had a slow ish start.

114
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: I guess they went down five to OHO and like

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: eleven to five. It wasn't the slow starts of Duke

116
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: and Clemson where didn't look like they belonged out there.

117
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: But Robinson didn't waste any time finding his shot. We

118
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: knew within minutes that he packed his stuff for Starkville,

119
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: and it's just good moving forward. We knew he had

120
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: done it at b YU. I even brought up on

121
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 3: the pregame show, how I watched that game in the

122
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: fog a year ago, and I'm like, I know he's

123
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: done it. He did it at BYU, why can't he

124
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: do it here? We finally got to see that big

125
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: forty minute performance from him. He was one shy away

126
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: from eight. There's only eight people in history that have

127
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: made eight in a game, so it was almost a

128
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: truly historic performance from him.

129
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: Three points shoot. He it was funny they called time

130
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 4: out after his seventh three. I thought Mississippi State we

131
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: talked about how I thought early in the game, Pope

132
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: went one too many without calling time out. I thought

133
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: Misssippi State did that too, because they gave him a

134
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: couple extra ones. After their seventh one, they called time out,

135
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: and they clearly switched their defense to Robinson's not gonna

136
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: beat us, and then Kentucky was able to get stuff

137
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: from other guys at that point. Then you got Oway

138
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: going to the basket. Obviously you had Almanor car got

139
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: a few layups down low. We were able to adjust

140
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: to their changing defense, and I think that helped.

141
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 5: That's exactly why Almanor had those good looks because they

142
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: were constrained so much on Jackson, Robinson and Omanor's credit. Man,

143
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: those were three big threes he hit. They were all

144
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: pretty crucially hit those well.

145
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: Think about the biggest shots. Okay, actually, as great as

146
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: Robinson played, I don't know that any of his shots

147
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: were the biggest. I thought the Butler corner three was huge.

148
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: Big Oway had a couple of layups where we had

149
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: to have a basket. The momentum was going against us,

150
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: and he would get down and get a basket. Almanor.

151
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 4: We're down two. When Almonor hits his first three and

152
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: not only down two. They had scored like six or

153
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: eight in a row, and they were on run, crowds

154
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: going crazy. Almonor hits the three car had a couple

155
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: of layups down low there that were really important. They

156
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: as good as Robinson, I thought other dudes hit major,

157
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: major shots. And then on the last possession, Butler was

158
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: in Hubbard's face. I mean, go watch those twenty seconds

159
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: of defense. Because Hubbard was shooting you could tell no

160
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: matter what he was shooting in Butler made sure Drew

161
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: he didn't get off easy shots. A championship shift saw

162
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: it again.

163
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: We knew before the year we'd see this out of Butler,

164
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 3: and it's great to finally actually watch it. When Pope

165
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: said on the radio, I don't lose a minute of

166
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: sleeping night about guarding SEC guards, he already knew what

167
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler was. And now we're finally seeing it. Because

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Hubbard's about as good as you're gonna face in the SEC.

169
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: He's up there at those scoring guards with Clayton, who

170
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: will see at A and M tomorrow night if he plays,

171
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: And Lamont Butler did a great job defending him, especially

172
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: when it mattered.

173
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: I loved everything about how we played. I loved the environment.

174
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: I mean, Mississippi State was rocking, and they went into

175
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: that environment and won. You know, we talked about I

176
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: consider Gonzaga a road win, but it's a different It

177
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: was still like an NBA arena. This was loud college arena,

178
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: people yelling at you kids, you know, screaming t shirts

179
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: that they don't do cowbells, but they have the culture

180
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: of cow bells, like you know, chaw everywhere. Like I mean,

181
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: it was that's what you want to do, is go

182
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: win one day.

183
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: I think that's what's so impressive to me.

184
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: They went into that environment after they just got beat

185
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 5: on the road at Georgia and played at a high level.

186
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: And you know, you hinted to this about Jackson Robinson.

187
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: He hits his first shot, he hits his section, so

188
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: that seems to like spring board him on.

189
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: This his first one, his first one, and then his

190
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 4: second one rattled in. But I think it was huge

191
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 4: there too, And I think it was that was that

192
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: was a huge thing for the game.

193
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: And there was the confidences in the one he missed,

194
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: he was quick to let it fly. It didn't go in,

195
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: but we knew that the Georgia game didn't linger because

196
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: you could worry that he would just come out and

197
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 3: not even want to shoot. He was so bad at Georgia.

198
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: But he got right to it his his comments after

199
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 5: the game where he said, Man, after the Georgia game,

200
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: I was really in my head, you know, I felt like, oh,

201
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 5: but then boom, look what he did.

202
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: He came out and looked great.

203
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: Mary Williams had a double double. Amari is my this

204
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 4: year player of no no, no, okay, okay, all right,

205
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that, like they like, that's him for me.

206
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: He he you know, but he he drives me crazy

207
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: with his won't put his hands up. But he does rebound.

208
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 4: He rebounds well sometimes and but he gets big ones.

209
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: Got a big one there at the end, ended up

210
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: missing the free throw, but that was kind of a

211
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: game clinching rebound. And he hustles. And I will say this,

212
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: he's a great passer. He's gonna make a couple turnovers

213
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: because he'll try to like thread a needle, but when

214
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: he threads a needle, it's pretty. And he is, for

215
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 4: a big man, a very good passer.

216
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 3: Even though I yell at him about once a game

217
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: He's still my favorite. It's just that his turnovers. Maybe

218
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: a few more, but it's just that when he does

219
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: turn it over, it's so bad. It's like, you know,

220
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: we mentioned trying to be a point guard. Garrison does

221
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: it too, but when he connects on him. There's not

222
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 3: many big man who can run an offense from the

223
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: top of the.

224
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: Key like Gryson hit a three as.

225
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: Well, he did Travis Perry hit a three.

226
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 5: I mean, well, everybody, but bring you only one guy

227
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: didn't shoot there very well, didn't pray it.

228
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: You think you'll ever get it right?

229
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: Probably not.

230
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: They're about to play the seventeenth game tomorrow. Yeah, brand

231
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: made one though, Yeah, so he made one and.

232
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: You're a big shot. You're mentioning earlier. Even though Perry's

233
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: was early in the game, missus Y State was on

234
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: early run and that one shut him up and pulled

235
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: Kentucky with hit the three.

236
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: I think that was when they had their biggest lead.

237
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: It was eleven to five, I believe. I think maybe

238
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: it was against the shot clock. Omari had to let

239
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: it flo Perry got the rebound and then hit the

240
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: three that cut it to like eleven to eight. So

241
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: our biggest deficit was when he hit the three. Just

242
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 4: an all around great team victory. You know there's you've

243
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: heard me say, this's a lot. There's nothing better than

244
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: winning a game on the road. Uh. You just get

245
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: to watch the teams come together. There's a picture after

246
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,599
Speaker 4: the game of them celebrating in the locker room. You

247
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: know it's a big deal. When Mitch's double fist seen

248
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: water ready to stuke. I mean he's doing a stone

249
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 4: cold shining with the water. I was ready to hit

250
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: it and drink it. It may not be beer, but

251
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: he'll still time to take the water. When he got home.

252
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: He probably did it with milk. That's how excited he

253
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: was about it.

254
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 5: I donk, go ahead, you want to bring it one

255
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 5: more big shot? The shot Butler hit right before halftime

256
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 5: because Hubbard had kind of stuck in his eye on

257
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 5: that four point play and was talking smack to him.

258
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 5: Butler came down the other day. That tells me he's

259
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: he's got a little that dog in and we've.

260
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: Been talking about it.

261
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know that he had a great game,

262
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: but still hit a couple of big shots to play defense.

263
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 4: I actually thought he didn't play well, but hit huge

264
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: shots drew when it mattered.

265
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: We was someone who needed him to score ten points.

266
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: I can tell you he was one for nine from

267
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: the field for most of the game and then turned.

268
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: It on late. He was doing other things, but the

269
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: shot was not falling. He was trying to take it

270
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: to the rim and it just wasn't happening. He got

271
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: he got stopped at the rim a number of times.

272
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 4: And on your Barnhart double fisting point. You know, I

273
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: don't know Barnhart.

274
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: I'm not around him, but I've wondered seeing these photos,

275
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: is anyone having more fun than him?

276
00:11:59,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: Now?

277
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: Seeing him again in the water shower, he's grinning from

278
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: ear to ear like a little kid. I mean, this

279
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: was his pick. Everybody was against it, and he has

280
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 3: to be loving everything.

281
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're Mitch Barnhardt, you should sit there

282
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: and feel like I mean, he's not gonna do middle fingers,

283
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: but he's gonna be pinkies up on some respects because

284
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 4: you know, he's had to deal with col and even

285
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 4: when Cow was at his best, his relationship with Mitch

286
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: was terrible. Their relationship was never good from moment one.

287
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: So you gotta think of for fourteen years every day

288
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: he had to deal with someone he did not personally like. Right,

289
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: then you throw in the fa I mean, the fans

290
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: have never loved him, right, I don't think anybody hates him,

291
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: but I don't think like people don't go you know

292
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like there's not a bond there, even

293
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: though I think people respect how good he's done the job.

294
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: I remember Ditch mitchmand Brooks was here. Yeah, I mean,

295
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: it's just a he's not a warm and fuzzy He's

296
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: very nice man, but he's also like not somebody that

297
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna have a beer with, right, or

298
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: he's just that's just not who he is. Then you know,

299
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: he hires this guy and everyone, I mean, if we're

300
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: on it's outside of like five percent of people. Everybody

301
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: went and was like what rah? And then he turns

302
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 4: it around. Right, everyone embraces it, and now Pope's rolling

303
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: fans are loving it. The other guy is struggling, to

304
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 4: say the least. If you're Mitch Barnhardt, you do have

305
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 4: to be walking around like, yeah, he wants some ye

306
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 4: hope would n't be a part of this, right, he

307
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: was not a part of the water shower. They want him.

308
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes he would be there, but they didn't.

309
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: Like a lot of the players of the cal Era

310
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: were almost they almost felt zero connection to Mitch. And

311
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: Mitch is now like you know, giving Kobe Braya tickling

312
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 4: even like it's just not it's just a different thing.

313
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 5: You know, Mitch has to be feeling good, just not

314
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 5: with with Pope, but with Kenny Brook to the women's team,

315
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: stuck his neck out for.

00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 4: Many Yeah, I mean, well we'll talk more about them.

317
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 4: They're fifteen in one, yeah or whatever.

318
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 5: Stucky's neck out for men Jonen baseball and they went

Speaker 5: McMahon walking out with a little sweat.

321
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 4: Which is on a heater. If he could just get

322
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: stoops to get to a bowl, I think he could

323

Speaker 4: just like be fine, so good stuff eight five nine

324
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320

00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: We're gonna take a break. We're here at Chaos Bar.

327
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: If you want to come meet Willie, he'll be here

328
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: around eleven. This is Kentucky Sports Radio walking back. It

329
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here, it's Chaos Bar and grill

330
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

331
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: On the text machine, one person writes, Matt, do you

332
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 4: think Pope and staff notice Amari keeps his hands down?

333
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: Do you think there's an intent to it? Well, Pope

334
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 4: has got this characteristic that I like, which is he

335
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: takes up for his players when they ask questions. So

336
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how much of what he says is, like,

337
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: how what he really believes or if he's like taking

338
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: up for him. But he did say something like, well,

339
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: you can move quicker with your hands down. I can't

340
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: imagine though he always wants his hands down, but he did.

341
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: I will say to it Mark, his hands were down

342
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 4: the whole first half, early second in the second half.

343
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Towards the end, I did notice on a couple of

344
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: big plays his hands got up, and I cheered the

345
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: moment his hands got up, one of which led to

346
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: a block. I mentioned that on Friday's show.

347
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: On Pope's Calling show last week, I'd never heard someone

348
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: make the case for not having your arms up, Pope said,

349
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: guys can go around you.

350
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: You're more agile when your hands are down. I was

351
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: just thought, I've never really heard that explanation I'm not

352
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 4: gonna throw the challenge flag, but I'm throwing the challenge

353
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: flag on that. I don't believe coaches are like, yeah,

354
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: you're seven feet tall, keep your hands down at your waist.

355
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: I don't think they believe.

356
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: I can remember running in little league basketball from not

357
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: having my hands.

358
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 5: Yes, it's one of the things you're taught from early

359
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: aid to get your hand especially if you're in the post,

360
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: big guy, you gotta get your hands up.

361
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: I can see it.

362
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: Maybe on the perimeter, if you got him out to

363
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: your side a little bit, maybe help your lateral quickness

364
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: a little bit.

365
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he even keeps him like Eddie's knees, which

366
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: I don't which I don't get. One person writes Matt,

367
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: do you think Mitch Barnhart will do a press conference

368
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: and give one of Cow's Do you see what I

369
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 4: did there? No? And this is like I respect this,

370
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: but this is part of why I think it's been

371
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: hard for fans to connect with Mitch is he doesn't

372
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 4: really do press conferences. He's never warm and fuzzy, like

373
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: he never shows one ounce of like lovable personality, you

374
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: know what I mean. It's all business all the time

375
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: and I've heard like you watch him with his family,

376
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: Like I went to a UK tennis match last year

377
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: and sat with him and his daughter and his daughter's

378
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: kid just for a few minutes. And watching him with

379
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: his family, you see a different person than you see

380
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: you know Drew on the press conferences or something like that,

381
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: but he just doesn't show the world that side.

382
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: Oh, as somebody that stands next to Mitch at a

383
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: football or basketball you'll you'll know the fire in Barnhart.

384
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: But on the point of just being public and talking.

385
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: Sing here trying to think. I remember the awkward call

386
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: interview and then he came on the show. But he

387
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: just doesn't do much like press conferences or anything like that.

388
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't even remember.

389
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: I'd be if I were him, I'd have one every

390
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 3: week right now, just a flex on my on my

391
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: two basketball team.

392
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 4: Me tell you something if you go to the games. Okay,

393
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: So Mitch stands. He stands over there where I used

394
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: to when I did the radio sideline. I stood in

395
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: that little walkway where the players come out. That was

396
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 4: where they had me stand. I was there the fourteen,

397
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: fifteen and sixteen seasons, pretty good seasons. Right. He stands

398
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 4: there too. He would usually stand behind me and he

399
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: would check to make sure the microphone was off a

400
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 4: lot because, let me tell you, you know, he's a man

401
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: of God. Unless we're down three and get a bad call,

402
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: then sometimes a different set of things come out.

403
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 5: It's been fun to you watch him and when he

404
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: stands out there in the corner football games is the

405
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 5: same way, and the sideline. A lot of times he'll

406
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 5: stand in the end zone and he'll let you know

407
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 5: quickly what he's feeling.

408
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: Two eighty seven. One more person on the text machine, rights, Matt,

409
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 4: have you signed your contract yet? My wife keeps asking me,

410
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 4: and I need to give her an answer. Today is

411
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: the meet they finally gave me, finally gave me the

412
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: written thing Friday at eight o'clock, which is exactly when

413
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 4: you want it. And so the meeting is today.

414
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: So do we have a show tomorrow?

415
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: I mean as of this moment, but ask me at

416
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: five o'clock today, I'm driving back to Louisville. Shannon, be

417
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: at the building there with you for the first time

418
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 4: in a while.

419
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Shannon, need to have a best of ready for Shanna.

420
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: Have a best of just in case, you know, if

421
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 4: we if we do a show tomorrow, which I think

422
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 4: we will. Georgia Amore will be here with us tomorrow

423
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: as well. Ten she'll be she can only be here

424
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 4: one segment, so she'll be here at ten thirty. She

425
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: has a class at eleven.

426
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 5: So by someone who is just on fire right now.

427
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: She's had like five or six straight games of over twenty.

428
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 5: I mean, she is definitely playing at a super high

429
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 5: one of the best, maybe one of the top point

430
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 5: guards in the country.

431
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: We also should talk just a second before we go

432
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: the phones about the thing that happened after the game

433
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: with Pope and the guy in the crowd. First of all,

434
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: if you haven't seen the video, I don't know how

435
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: you couldn't have. It's been everywhere now. But Pope comes

436
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 4: out after the game talks to the people, the Kentucky fans.

437
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: But what has started happening is that Kentucky fans who

438
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 4: go to a road game kind of go gather down

439
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: next to the court after the game to celebrate when

440
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: they win. A lot of times they'll kick you out

441
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: for that. But at but at least at Gonzaga they didn't,

442
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: and now at Missippi's date they didn't. And then Pope

443
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: comes out and says hi to everybody. He does it

444
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: before he even goes to the media, so we're talking

445
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: ten or fifteen minutes after the game. He usually doesn't.

446
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: I guess he was down there. He saw a young

447
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: man in a wheelchair that was up on top of

448
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: the concourse who couldn't get down because Mississippi State's got

449
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: an old stadium, you know. I don't know if they're

450
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: eighty A compliant or not. But he was up there

451
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: on the con course. I don't know who told him that.

452
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: He walked up there to go meet the guy. And

453
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: then in one of the like, I mean, you've seen

454
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: the video, one of the nicest things you've ever seen.

455
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: Now only does he walk to him, sits next to him,

456
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: which people who know people who who deal with who

457
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 4: are in wheelchairs and who deal with that say, one

458
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: of the nicest things you can do is go sit

459
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 4: rather than look down upon sit. It's like a little thing.

460
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 4: Mark does it. And then what I love is Mark

461
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 4: talks to him just about being a fan. He's like,

462
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 4: when'd you become a fan? Oh, wasn't that twenty fifteen

463
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 4: team where Willy's here?

464
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 6: Right?

465
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: Like, wasn't that a great team. How good was that?

466
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 4: You know, just has a conversation with him. A guy

467
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 4: in the crowd just films it. Mark doesn't know that's

468
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: gonna happen. It's not an official UK video. It's just

469
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 4: a guy in the crowd, one of the you know,

470
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: just a really cool thing. And it's the kind of

471
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: thing he did so like nonchalantly. That right. It makes

472
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 4: me think he does it all the time. It usually

473
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: doesn't get shown on film, and it's it was perfect

474
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 4: to watch because it wasn't just it seemed genuine. I

475
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: mean too, he made the media weight, the radio audience weight.

476
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 4: He's set with this guy, and I just I thought

477
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: it was awesome.

478
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 5: I agree with everything you just said, one hundred percent genuine.

479
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 5: Just his natural reaction was he wanted to go talk

480
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: to this fan that was up there at the top

481
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 5: and couldn't get down everybody else. And I'm glad you

482
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: talked that about him pulling out the chair, didn't just

483
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: talk to the guy, just say hey, how you doing

484
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: want a picture? Pulled the chair out and set. But

485
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 5: I haven't talked to him for a number of minutes.

486
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 5: I just tell you what kind of person Mark.

487
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 4: Pope is it's obvious when you when you think about it,

488
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 4: but I had never really thought about it. There's a

489
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: guy in my fellowship, you know, asked an institute thing

490
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: that's that's in a wheelchair. We were gonna go see

491
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: him in South Dakota, and I said we He and

492
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 4: I were talking once and he said, you know, it's

493
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 4: a little thing. He was like, I don't get mad

494
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 4: when people don't, but when people sit next to you,

495
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 4: it's just now you put each other on the same level,

496
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 4: and it's you know, that had never clicked to me

497
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: in my life. Maybe it should have, but it just

498
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 4: never had. It clearly clicked to Mark Pope because he

499
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: did it naturally, and I thought it was really nice.

500
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: If he had just gone up there, given him a

501
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: fist bump and kept walking, I think that still might

502
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: have been the nicest thing in coach ever did to

503
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: go out of the way to someone who couldn't make

504
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: it down. If he had just done a photo, we'd

505
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: be talking about how nice that was. But to pull

506
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: up a chair and have a conversation, knowing you've got

507
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 3: a plane on the tarmac, you probably can't wait to

508
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: get home.

509
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: Your player's staff, everybody wants to get home.

510
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: You still have more obligations in that arena, and you

511
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: don't make that a brief interaction. You've made that dude's

512
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: a day, night, life year. I mean, you gave that

513
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: guy a moment he'll never forget.

514
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: Eighteen year old kid by the way, which I which

515
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 4: I didn't rise from Madison, Mississippi, who had made the trip.

516
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 4: So anyway, Uh, just a just a really neat thing.

517
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: Your tweet got a lot of play too.

518
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: I mean it's Tino and Kelsey. Yeah, only my three

519
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: or four biggest tweets of all time. And but it

520
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: wasn't me. It was the kid who took it. It's

521
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: just Adam Town's Adam Town take a break, take calls right,

522
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 4: KSR is he TJ Smith personal injury attorney called TJ.

Speaker 4: seven seven two seven to seventy four five two five four.

528
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: Let's just quickly to two other things. Louisville one at

529
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: pitt uh they're good, and how does that make you feel.

530
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: I think we want Louisville to be fairly good. Since

531
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 5: we beat them, you got'll help us, you know, come

532
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: to selection seating time.

533
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: They might have a crazy good record in the ACC

534
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: because they lost to Duke, but they've already beaten Carolina,

535
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 4: pitt and Clemson, who might be then three best teams

536
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 4: besides Duke. So the rest of the year they're playing

537
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 4: bad teams. Now they're not gonna get a lot of

538
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 4: quad one wins, but they might end up with a

539
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 4: gaudy record at the end of the year. Drew, Yeah,

540
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 4: I mean I prefer they lose every game.

541
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 3: But now that we already have that win, like Ron said,

542
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: that's just great for the resume. I think Duke and

543
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: Louisville both are gonna run through that conference. It is

544
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 3: not very good this year, which is gonna make that

545
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 3: Kentucky's resume even better, make those two wins look great.

546
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 4: I think so in the same case with Gonzaga, and

547
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 4: then we do have to talk about Arkansas owen three

548
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: in conference. Oh here comes Willie. Yeah, Willie, don't don't

549
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: listen to this part, all right, So you just just

550
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 4: wait over there. Just don't listen to this part. Okay,

551
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: you go to go to the restroom. Owen three a

552
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: classic cow after the game press conference where he's like,

553
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: I don't even know who we play? You know what's happening?

554
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 4: Is this basketball? Who are we doing? And uh, you

555
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: know they do. They might win a game this week

556
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 4: because they play at LSU, but oh and three, oh.

557
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 5: And three, and it ain't gonna get any easier for

558
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 5: that group. You start out the season oh and three

559
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: losing games at home, it's gonna get a lot tougher.

560
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: They're not good. We've got to beat them.

561
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 5: And I thought going in the season they were going

562
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 5: to be a good team.

563
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they're not good that they missed so many.

564
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 4: Did you see the meme? It was like, did you

565
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: see the post about what happens if Arkansas players? Did

566
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 4: you see the John F. Kennedy post?

567
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if I saw.

568
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: I think I saw that one. They had a picture

569
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 4: of John F. Kennedy where he was like one hundred

570
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 4: years old. Yeah, and they showed a picture of it

571
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 4: and said John F. Kennedy if the Arkansas players were

572
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: the shooters, I mean, like, come on now, like they're

573
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: being terrible about the fact that because they can't make

574
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 4: a shot, they cannot make a shot.

575
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: This isn't just our opinions, like they are in trouble

576
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: with their resume, Like in the they have one Quad

577
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: one and Quad two win combined that.

578
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 4: One, well, they'll get a lot of chances. No, they

579
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: just got a lot of confidence. I've seen the last

580
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 4: few chances.

581
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 3: The thing, I mean, the basketball is one thing. I

582
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's that surprised that a Cal team's not

583
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: hitting threes. But this stuff he's doing after the games.

584
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: Arkansas fans are getting tired of that real quick because

585
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: he does not have the good will there that he

586
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: had here.

587
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: That when do we play?

588
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 3: Did not land very well in Fatteville, they were livid

589
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: over that. We heard that ten times he had a title.

590
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: We kind of rolled our eyes, like, come on, Cal,

591
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 3: Arkansas has no patience for these stats are wrong?

592
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 4: When do we play? That got tired already. He hit

593
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 4: the wall Cousins year where all that stuff was cute.

594
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: It's just like, you don't know who we play.

595
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: You know these people calendar year ago had tweets they're

596
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: awful about Cal.

597
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that stuff is wearing thin who's up first?

598
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: Shit Kyle, Kyle, go ahead, Kyle.

599
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, great game this weekend. So overall our basketball

600
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 6: team is ninth in the country and shot attempts per

601
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 6: game and twelfth and fast break points per game. And

602
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 6: we've played eight D one Tower School so far where

603
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 6: we're four and zero against teams who are top one

604
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 6: hundred shots per game, you know, wanting to shoot with us,

605
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 6: and one in three against teams one hundred and first

606
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 6: or worse. So putting it playingly, I don't care who

607
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 6: you are, but if you play flow, I just want

608
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 6: our team to push the ball and shoot as much

609
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 6: as possible every game, driving up our possession totals. This

610
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 6: weekend was phenomenal doing that and starting with the Tennessee

611
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 6: game this month on the twenty eighth, what's your thoughts

612
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 6: on we played six consecutive games against teams outside of

613
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 6: the top one hundred and per game.

614
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: I think I think you make a great point. When

615
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 4: we impose the pace and I appreciate the call. We're

616
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: great when the pace is what we want, we're great.

617
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 4: We move when we get up and down the floor.

618
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: We're better at fast breaks than other teams. We're better

619
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: shooting than other teams. Teams seem to shoot their best

620
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: three point percentage of the year against US at least,

621
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: but Mississippi State did in the second half. In the

622
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 4: first half they missed a bunch. But the problem is

623
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 4: when teams slow us down. But Mississippi State was a

624
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: team I thought was going to try to slow us

625
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: down and they weren't able to do it. We scored

626
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 4: ninety five on a team. Remember, Florida was second in

627
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: the country in half court defense, Mississippi State was fifth.

628
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: So it's really just about do we get to the

629
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 4: pace that we want to get to, because when we

630
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 4: do ryan we're as good as anybody.

631
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: Two of the best defensive teams that we've played all year,

632
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 5: Florida and Mississippi State, we scored one hundred and six

633
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 5: ninety five against them because we were able to dictate

634
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 5: the pace, set the pace. Georgia, they set the pace.

635
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 5: It slowed it down. That's why they trouble.

636
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: And I don't know why one was different than the other.

637
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: We're gonna play Texas A and M another team that's

638
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: gonna try to set the pace. Now they're more guard centric,

639
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 4: like they're gonna they're they got guards that are good,

640
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: but they're gonna try to set the pace. Then we'll

641
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: play Alabama, who I think will be fine playing our pace. Yes,

642
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 4: so with two interesting home games coming up.

643
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, to your point, I mean, the only three times

644
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky hadn't scored seventy five points, or the three losses

645
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: they were in the sixties and all those games, I

646
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: just I don't think they're gonna win any fights that

647
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: are that low. Scort with Mississippi State hadn't given up

648
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: They'd only give it up eighty once this season, and

649
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: they hadn't given up that many going back to like

650
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen.

651
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: That's yeah, you know I heard. I was listening to

652
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: the Field of sixty eight and Terrence Oglesby, who seems

653
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: like he's kind of taking up the role as like

654
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: Kentucky critic. He was like, this team's defense. If they

655
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 4: have to play a game in the sixties, they're not

656
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: gonna win. And I was like, yeah, you're right, if

657
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: we're in the sixties or seventies, we're not gonna win.

658
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: But if we get to the eighties, I like our chance.

659
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: I mean, we get to the eighties, I don't know

660
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: if you can out shoot us when we're in that amount.

661
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: Because we're in the eighties, somebody's making them.

662
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: We talked about the rule of eighty one. I think

663
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 5: with this team is sad the rule of seventy one. Yeah,

664
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 5: we can get to eighty one. We got a pretty

665
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 5: good shot to win the game.

666
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: But it is it will be fit. We're not gonna

667
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: win a game with defense, No, but we can out

668
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: shoot almost anybody. Remember, we still haven't had a game

669
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: I think where everyone's hot, right, you know, we still

670
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 4: missed a lot of shots. Praya was one for five.

671
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: If we get a game where everybody's hot, we might

672
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: score two hundred and forty four.

673
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: That's what's so wild about the other night. Seven players,

674
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: seven different players hit a three, and Kobe Braya was

675
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: cold like you had. Garrison hit one all them on

676
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: the course had the.

677
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 4: Fixed though three. That was definitely a no, no, no,

678
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 4: yes three there by Garrison. Who's next, Let's go to slugger, slugger?

679
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: How are you slugger?

680
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 6: Oh?

681
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 7: I'm well, boys. I was actually at the game there

682
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 7: and I can tell you right now that place was

683
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: a hornets neez getting in there. It was just one

684
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 7: bad mouth after the other, and they definitely didn't appreciate

685
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 7: me wearing blue. But deep down, I feel like that

686
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 7: was our best game all year.

687
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, I mean maybe when you can see I

688
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: think I still think the Gonzaga win, just when you

689
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: consider how much we were down and all, that maybe

690
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: the best. But in terms of winning on the road,

691
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 4: like you said, I mean, when you have a fourteen

692
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: point lead and you give it up, I think it's

693
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: very rare to win that game. And then they did.

694
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, And when we went down eighty seventy eight,

695
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 7: I thought, man, this is we're in a hole. Now

696
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 7: get ready, boys, And not only we come out of it,

697
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 7: we came out of its strong. It was a great

698
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 7: effort and a lot of fun there. And the people

699
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 7: that were sitting around me were bad mouthing me the

700
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 7: whole time. And he let's say, with about ten seconds ago,

701
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 7: they were running for the exit.

702
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the way it works. I appreciate the call.

703
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: That was the moment I was the most worried. Eighty

704
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: seventy eight. We get the ball and I think we

705
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: turned it over, so we gave them the ball they

706
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: had it back up to and I was like, uh, oh,

707
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: and then we came down. I think that we made

708
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: them take a bad shot and then Ansley Almanor hits

709
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: three the next possession. That was I think a really

710
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 4: key sequence right there. And Maari turned it over when

711
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 4: it was eighty to seventy eight. Yeah, on the cut

712
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 4: Amari passed.

713
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 5: You're exactly right tas spot when I thought, oh, when

714
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 5: they banked in the three pointer.

715
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: Well, they never easily never come down. That was and

716
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: that was a six point play.

717
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

718
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: They called a fake foul on Robinson on the that's

719
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 4: has another bad flop if you watch it. Robinson's now

720
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 4: been called for two horrendous flops on rebounds, the one

721
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 4: at Georgia and then that one that dude did not

722
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 4: get fouled and ended up getting a six point play.

723
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll be honest, that bank three. I thought

724
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: that was the curse because State banked one in and

725
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: Clemson banked one in.

726
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: Yep, I just thought it didn't Georgia bank one.

727
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: I mean say Georgia, Yeah, not in not Ohio State. Yeah,

728
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: that's that's been the Uh, it's been one of those

729
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: in each loss.

742
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 4: which we didn't know because we were out in Seattle.

743
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: So we're now two and oh. When he watches a

744
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,840

746
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: His record a lot better than our record.

747
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 4: When I watch games here, we never win, so I

748
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: think it's because I'm too nervous, I feel it.

749
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: Congratulations to Willie. He's now hosting every game watch party

Speaker 4: Rest of season. Looking forward to that. That's very nice.

752
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: Say five nine to two to eight to zero. Twenty

753
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: two eighty seven one person rights Matt Okay, So Kobe

754
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 4: Braan missed those shots collectively. Where does this team rank

755
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: in three point shooting for UK teams? Oh, that's tough

756
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 4: because when they're hot, it's as good as any. But

757
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: they can go cold. I mean, besides this team, what

758
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: do you think is the best three point shooting team

759
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: in Kentucky history? Just as a team, We've had individuals.

760
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 4: Last year's team individually was great those three individuals, but

761
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: then the other guys weren't great shooters. What do you

762
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 4: think has been the best collective group?

763
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: Earlier in the season, I remember a lot of notes

764
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: of like first time since nineteen ninety three open with

765
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: five straight games of ten threes. There was a lot

766
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: of first time since the ninety two ninety three range,

767
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 3: So I'd put those teams in it.

768
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: The ninety two to ninety three was really good because

769
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: the bigs could shoot threes too. So you had like

770
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: the four kids from Kentucky. You had Ford, Mashburn, Dale Brown,

771
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: even Jamel Martinez could shoot the three if he won.

772
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: And I think the team the Fox Monk Brisco wasn't

773
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: a great shooter, but he was on those, but then

774
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 4: Derek Willis and uh Dominique Hawkins coming off the bench.

775
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 4: That team, when they got hot, could really make shots.

776
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 4: And Bam now makes him in the NBA. He didn't

777
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 4: really shoot him when he was at Kentucky. Last year's

778
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 4: team got to be up there though, even though he lost.

779
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 4: I mean, you three of the six best three point

780
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 4: shooters in UK history on the same team. I'm trying to.

781
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: Think of ones and my brain's going Antonio Reeves, Re

782
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: Shepherd and Rob Billingham.

783
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all three of those guys on the

784
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 4: same team. I mean, Col's had Cal had a ton

785
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 4: of teams where there were so many good bigs and

786
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: so many good getting to the basket guys. But as

787
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 4: a group of just all three point shooters, I mean

788
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 4: everyone on this team can make them except Amari. That's

789
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 4: pretty good if you have eight guys who can make

790
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: a three.

791
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 3: Brandon Garrison is three for four from three in the

792
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: last four games.

793
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 4: It's crazy because I sure don't like it when he

794
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 4: shoots it, but then it goes in.

795
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: And Trentonoah's like three or four. Hey, he doesn't miss either.

796
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 4: Tritton Noah doesn't even is not didn't even get in.

797
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, that's why I think we're gonna name him

798
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 5: the Johnny Rocker role player. Every game, every game, Travis

799
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 5: Parry made one, he did make. Do we put the

800
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 5: ninety six team in the comings?

801
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 4: For sure? They should be up there that whole ninety

802
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 4: six through ninety eight because in ninety six, everyone but

803
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: Pope shot three? Yeah no, I mean I think I'm right. Apps,

804
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 4: just the Apps, Delk Walker, McCarty, all those Eric Anderson,

805
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 4: Ron Mercer all shot three, Jeff Shepherd, all those guys. Yeah, No,

806
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 4: ninety six through ninety eight's got to be in that conversation.

807
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 5: But way, if you ask just to pick who's number one,

808
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 5: I think we've hit the top three ninety two, ninety

809
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 5: six and last year.

810
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 2: Who's the best? Which one are you picking?

811
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 4: Well, this one is in that group. I mean those

812
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: teams were better six Well, ninety six and Willie's team

813
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 4: are the two best teams of all time in my opinion.

814
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 4: Last year's team was not great, but they could sure shoot.

815
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 4: I think this one will be up there with him.

816
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: And just if you're talking.

817
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 3: Three point shooting, oh definitely. And bra even though he's

818
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: been cold for a week. When the season's over, he's

819
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: gonna be up there at the top. With some of

820
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: the names we've mentioned. One that's not a team but

821
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: a backcourt. Ulis and Murray didn't miss a lot when

822
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 3: they were open. We forget how good Ulyss was a

823
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: three point shooter in addition everything else he did.

824
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 4: And then Murray of course is high on. Honestly, I mean,

825
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 4: even with Willie sitting here, think about who's on the

826
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: fifteen team, Booker, Uless, the Twins, Alex could shoot from three,

827
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 4: Trey Lyles and they didn't even let Carl Town shoot

828
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: from three, and he won the NBA three point shooting contest.

829
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 4: So I mean that's also a pretty good group if

830
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 4: you look at it.

831
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: And before that, Cale didn't need shooters because he had

832
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: to Lamb, and we have drawn Lamb. You know, you

833
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 3: don't need anybody else on the team that can shoot

834
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 3: when you have amb.

835
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 4: Who's up next, Kentucky? How are you.

836
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 6: Hey?

837
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 4: Good guys? How y'all doing doing good?

838
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 8: I had a couple of comments, so I called in

839
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 8: last week and talked about the rebounding. Offensive rebounds had

840
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 8: been given up, and I thought we'd done a great

841
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 8: job against the six State If I'm not mistaken. We

842
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 8: out rebounded them all together and on the offensive boards,

843
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 8: and uh so I was curious. I don't know a

844
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 8: ton about them as far as rebounding goes that just

845
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 8: because they're not a great rebounding team, or did we

846
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 8: shore that up.

847
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 4: I thought we've I thought we did a pretty good

848
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 4: job keeping them off the glass on the offensive rebounds.

849
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 4: They they I appreciate the call. They were not as

850
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 4: big a glass crashers as I thought they would be.

851
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: But I think we actually, especially in the second, you know,

852
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: towards the end of the game, I thought we did

853
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 4: a pretty good job at that. Yeah.

854
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 5: Really, you know overall this season that that's definitely an

855
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 5: area where they've not been great.

856
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: But they didn't kill us.

857
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 5: On the off to Glasgow Misissippi State that Cam Matthews though,

858
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 5: he was like, uh.

859
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: He's like, but here's Cam Matthews was a nineteen percent

860
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 4: three point shooter going into the game, and he made

861
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: three straight. Although they may say that about al Minor,

862
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 4: but I mean he made three straight. By the way,

863
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 4: Willie got disrespected at the halftime of that game. You

864
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 4: didn't hear this because you were here, But Ron Slay

865
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: and Damian Fishback. Were talking about the dudes in the

866
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 4: SEC who had dunked on people the hardest, because Jack Yeah,

867
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 4: dunked on should have been on. Oh he wasn't named

868
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 4: He named like three not I don't think he named

869
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 4: a UK guy. He named like you could have just

870
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 4: named Willie three. Who did he say? Who you should

871
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 4: have been? I mean, you're dunk against Florida, but it's

872
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: not just that one. Then the dude you made the

873
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 4: dude in Cincinnati he should have retired from basketball in

874
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament. I mean that dude that I think

875
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 4: he did. Remember he left the game and didn't come back.

876
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 4: I think he did tell me what you really did?

877
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 4: He should have That was one of the most didn't

878
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 4: have seen that he works at Amazon though. Who's up next? Ed?

879
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 4: What's up? Ed? But they didn't mention. I can't remember

880
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 4: who they mentioned. They mentioned like three guys. Can't remember.

881
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: It was ed go ahead in.

882
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 8: Hey man, what a great day to be a Wildcat

883
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 8: San And I was wondering Jackson Robinson his breakout performance.

884
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 8: You think it continues?

885
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 4: Yes, I do? I think. Okay, So after the game,

886
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 4: appreciate the call. They asked about Jackson Robinson. Drew alluded

887
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 4: to this earlier. Pope said that he came to him

888
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 4: after the last game and said, I'm just thinking too

889
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 4: much when I missed the first when it gets in

890
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 4: my head all the stuff we guessed about, he said,

891
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 4: I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just gonna shoot. And

892
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 4: he's won for one in games since that. I think,

893
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 4: if you know how I've said, I don't think any

894
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: of these dudes are gonna play in the NBA, Drew.

895
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 4: If he plays like he did against Mississippi State, he

896
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 4: might be able. He could be an NBA player if

897
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 4: he plays like that.

898
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 3: And Pope, who's had him a couple of several years now,

899
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: so that was his best college games. He's had better,

900
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: actually really had better statistical games, but just given the

901
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: circumstances coming off maybe his worst game and all the

902
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 3: criticism and doubt in his head to turn around and

903
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 3: do it on short notice, Pope said, that's the best

904
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: TS scene from Robinson.

905
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 4: What do you make of the fact that Mississippi State

906
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: hadn't beaten us in the regular season since like oh eight?

907
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy?

908
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 2: That is crazy? Especially that's a tough place to play.

909
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: At times.

910
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 5: So to win all these years in a row down

911
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 5: even on their place, that's that says something about your program.

912
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 4: It's weird to me because it's not like they've stunk

913
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: the whole No. I mean there was a period of

914
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 4: time where we broke their hearts every year. I mean

915
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 4: we twenty ten, right, we beat them the call Me Game, Yeah,

916
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 4: the SEC Tournament game I think we had. I mean

917
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 4: we've also had crazy endings down there.

918
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: Reid shot yeah, read Dante.

919
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 4: Allen, Dante Allen went off. Eric Daniels hit the layup

920
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 4: at the buzzer, the call Me game, DeMarcus Cousin or

921
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: you know, putting it in at the buzzer to send

922
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 4: it to overtime. The fact that they've not beaten US

923
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 4: in the regular season since eight is an amazing stat

924
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 4: really is.

925
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: Like Ryan said, they don't always have the best team

926
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: in the conference, usually even more towards the bottom, but

927
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: they've mostly been a very physical team. I could think

928
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 3: of some big guys that have been elite, like Bernardo

929
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: down there blocking shots, and they've still gone in and

930
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: played great games.

931
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 4: Forgot about He's the SEC all time shot ball shop.

932
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 3: There's also been several overtime games, including the tip end.

933
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 3: I think Dante Allen's was overtime. It's like Mississippi State

934
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: just keeps getting a heartbreaking ending.

935
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: I think the loss in the SEC tournament that year

936
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 4: with Dante Allen in the COVID year is the only

937
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: time they've beaten US since OA, and it was about

938
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 4: one point I think, so eight five, nine, two eighty seven. Listen,

939
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 4: do we have time for one? Quickly?

940
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 2: Say less than a minute?

941
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: So y Adam, go quick?

942
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 9: Hey Matt, first time caller, Uh, great day to be

943
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 9: a wall category with the last caller. Saw your tweet

944
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 9: about the UK official pregame show. Got a kick out

945
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 9: of that because I was listening to the to the

946
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 9: pregame show. I just thought how bad that show had become,

947
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 9: and I hang up. Listen to your comment.

948
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 4: But I don't want to say it's bad because I

949
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: don't necessarily believe that. But I do want to talk

950
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 4: about maybe we'll do it in the second hour. If not,

951
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: we'll do it Tuesday. Dave Baker and Camera Mills need

952
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 4: an intervention the two of them. The two of them

953
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 4: are going to kill each other at some point. It

954
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 4: really is like insane isn't it. Are you gonna let

955
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 4: me talk? I mean that they're going to fight at

956
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: some point. We're gonna take a break. When we come back,

957
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: we're here a ks bar. Willie Caley Stein will join

958
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 4: us right after this
