Speaker 2: Lots of news.

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: There is a ton going on, but we will start

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: with the news that I uh just found out about

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: twenty minutes ago, and I'm sure all of you have

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: heard that Jalen Lowe re injured his shoulder in practice yesterday,

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: apparently a collision with Diabat, which you know I've seen that. Dude,

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you want to have a collision. He

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: uh was hurt yesterday in practice. They did imaging on

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: him last night and today, and the latest update, which

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: I got pulling into the parking lot, is that the

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: injury is slightly worse than last time. Surgery could be

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: an option. He also there are ways potentially he could

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: play through it, but they are going to think about

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: it for the rest of the day and then make

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: a decision. Could what I was told kind of could

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: go either way and it's in part what the staff

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: thinks is best for him long term. I got the

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: sense that this is probably a surgery that would have

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: to happen at some point, but maybe you'd wait and

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: do it in the off season, or you do it now.

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: This is basically exactly what happened with Lamont Butler. I

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: do not know if it's the same injury, so I

50
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: want to be clear. I don't know if it's the

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 3: same injury. But if you remember, Lamont Butler had to

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 3: have surgery in the off season, but he wanted to

53
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: get through the season and play, so he did.

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're kind of we're in a

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: similar situation here.

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: So I think probably by tonight we will know whether

57
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: or not Jaylen Lowe will play this year. He certainly

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: will not play tonight, and I would think he would

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: not play at least a lot of the non conference season.

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: So that's where we are. That's the new news. Guys.

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'll just give my take and then I'll pass

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: off to you. All I've said all summer. Anybody who

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: listen to this show knows that I thought he was

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: the key to the team. I said we'd be as

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: good as he is, you know, in my opinion, I

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: don't know if I thought he was the best player,

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: but I thought he'd likely be the leading scorer.

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: That's probably still would have been true for all this.

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: If we don't have him, I think it certainly hurts

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: our ceiling. Meaning, you know, I thought we could be

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: the best team in the country with him. I don't

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: know if we can be the best team in the

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: country without him. I still think we can be really

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: good for a variety of reasons. But now you got

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: a lot of things reps change, Oway's gonna have to

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: step up. One of these guys like Jasper Johnson or

77
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: something's gonna have to be a lot better than they've

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: been so far.

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: But it would be a bummer.

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: If you had asked me before the season, who's the

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: player UK can afford to lose least, I probably would

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: have said Jalen Lowe. And now it looks like three

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: games into the year, Ryan, there's at least a chance

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: we might have lost.

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: It does suck. I mean, they can still be really

86
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: good without him, but it does suck that if he's

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: gonna be out for a period of time. I mean,

88
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 4: I've been doing this a long time, and I can't

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 4: remember a shoulder injury ever, and our point guard's been

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: got it two years in a row. I mean we

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 4: needed to We had the ankle doctor. We need a

92
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: shoulder doctor or something. This seems like a deja vous

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: that we don't want.

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: It is crazy that you would have a shoulder injury

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: on your point guard twice in two years in a row.

96
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: I mean that is I'm with Ryan.

97
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: I can't remember ever having a having a basketball player

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: with the shoulder injury period, and to have him back

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: to back years at the most important position.

100
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: You know. I think losing Lamont crushed us last year.

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: Now he did come back, I hope this one doesn't

102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: crush us as much.

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: It's just insane to have another injury at the exis

104
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 5: same position. We ran out of point guards last year,

105
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 5: and then in the Blue White Game, you lose one

106
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 5: this year, even though we got him for a stunt there.

107
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm counting that he was out preseason. It's just ridiculous

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 5: to have these injuries. I'm no doctor, but the moment

109
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 5: I heard I thought, probably gonna have to shut that

110
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: down for the year for surgery. I'm glad you know

111
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: that they're leaving open the opportunity to not do that.

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: But it just immediately I thought, well, there goes Low

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: for the year. That was my first reaction. I'm sure

114
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: many people thought the same thing.

115
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: Now, I remember, you do have that kid for two years,

116
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: and maybe you now have him for two years again

117
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: if he does play. But he was I think he

118
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: was on a plan to play here next year regardless.

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: You know, Shanon, I.

120
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: What would you do, like if you I mean, if

121
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: let's say you knew you were gonna have to have

122
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: surgery at some point. Yeah, from what I understand, it's

123
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: a four to five month recovery, so you could wait

124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: till the end of the year and then be ready

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: for next year even if you played.

126
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: Would you try to play or would you.

127
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: Say, look, man, there's no reason I'm gonna be in

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: paid for four straight months as we'll go ahead and

129
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: do it.

130
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 6: Well, it's easy for me to say it, but I

131
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 6: would say, you just got to play through the pain

132
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: and try to get to the off season and then

133
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 6: take care of that. Then. You know, I wasn't really

134
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 6: willing to change my projection for how the season was

135
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 6: going to go after the Lobal loss. But I think

136
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 6: if Jalen Lowe is out for a significant part of

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 6: the schedule, then I think you do have to change

138
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 6: the way you look at this.

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: Is it his shooting handed to the other one, it's

140
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: the other one he's left handed, it's his right shoulder.

141
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: Well, with Lamont it was his shooting one though it

142
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 3: was so I do think, you know Lamont, it clearly

143
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: affected his play. You know, there is an argument that

144
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: with your off arm it's a little easier because it's

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: not your shooting arm. That's I mean, I'm just saying

146
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: there is an argument that maybe that wouldn't be as.

147
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 5: Bad if all I was older, didn't have a lot

148
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: more basketball to play, so he might have had to

149
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 5: push through you.

150
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: That's true. Good point.

151
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 6: I just want to know what kind of drills they're

152
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 6: running in practice to where this is happening like this.

153
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 6: But to Pope's credit, I mean, he had to deal

154
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 6: with those injuries last year and they you know, turned

155
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: out to have a good season.

156
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: So it is not by the way, you got two

157
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: of everything. I mean, people wonder why did they build

158
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 3: their roster like they did. They did it for this reason. Now,

159
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: I think Aberdeen's a good backup point guard that can

160
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: become a starter.

161
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: The question then becomes who's your who becomes the backup?

162
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: Because we saw what happened when Chandler and Johnson were

163
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: running the point guard. I think Ryan Jasper Johnson's gonna

164
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 3: have to figure out how to be a backup point guard,

165
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: like I think, because I love Chandler and I think

166
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: Chandler is great in his other role.

167
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: I do not think he's a point guard. So I

168
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: think you're.

169
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: Gonna have to figure out a way for Jasper Johnson

170
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: probably to be the backup.

171
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Colin's been playing great. We see how he does

172
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: when he plays off the ball. It was the Georgetown

173
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: exhibition and he played point guard and just had troubles,

174
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: just had a lot of struggles. Jasper, I think I

175
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: feel a little more confident if he's got.

176
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: To be a backup.

177
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: I feel confident jas Maybe we do.

178
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if he goes to be out for the year,

179
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know.

180
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: If you saw b Yu just signed a kid from

181
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: the G League that's gonna play this year, you know, Drew.

182
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 5: Maybe listen, I've already thought maybe you go do something

183
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: like that. I assistant in Europe right now. Scout we

184
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: know we can do the Big Z move. School doesn't

185
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: matter anymore. Whatever, We'll fake that. But I'm in Europe

186
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 5: right now, Like, hey, anybody want to go play college

187
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 5: basketball in January? Unless they really believe in Jasper they

188
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: would know behind the scenes. But I would really consider.

189
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: If you have someone you really if you think we

190
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: had added Big Z for.

191
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: At this point that you're left two years ago, would

192
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 5: you would you consider that?

193
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: Would you consider going and saying, hey, let's find another

194
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 2: point guard.

195
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: I guess you got to look into it a little

196
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: bit to look into it, and then Jasper could be

197
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: your good your fallback playing if you don't find a.

198
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Guy like Jasper.

199
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you want Jasper to be You want

200
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: him to do other stuff. But I could see him too.

201
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: I mean, b y, you literally just got a player.

202
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: Uh and they had a kid get caught drunk driving.

203
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: They'll probably get kicked out of school. So I mean,

204
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: I think that might have been partially why he did.

205
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: It every year.

206
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: I mean, we don't follow him every school, but every

207
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: year a high school kid reclassifies and their options. Hopefully

208
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 5: Jasper can do it. But with Chandler, it's just not

209
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 5: that he couldn't play defense, you don't want to take

210
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: away from him being the two guard. He has been

211
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 5: so good since he moved over there. He's shooting fifty

212
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 5: eight percent from three. So even if he could play

213
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: point guard, you don't want to ruin how good he's

214
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: been in his next.

215
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: Week in the SEC and three point shooting.

216
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't want to do that. So that

217
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: was that's part one. Now let's go to part two

218
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: for a second. And by the way, so we don't

219
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: know about Jayleen Lowe. I mean, I'm we're talking like

220
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: he's gone. I got the sense in my conversations that

221
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: they really are deciding that it is not. But you know,

222
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: he'll get asked after the game. We'll probably know when

223
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: the game is over because they're spending today thinking about it.

224
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: Let's go to the second thing. Mark Pope does his

225
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: press conference yesterday and very odd. I mean, I think

226
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: Mark Pope has nailed almost everything you could say to

227
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: the press. I didn't really understand his press conference yesterday.

228
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: He said before the Louisville game, a situation happened that

229
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: threw the team off, and that caused essentially something that

230
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: kind of put him in a bad frame of mind

231
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: for the game. He said, I'm not ready to say

232
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: what that is now, really bad decision to say that.

233
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: In my opinion, you either say it or you don't.

234
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: What you don't do is say it and then not

235
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: say what it is. How many times did you hear

236
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: me in the col Are era talk about we're gonna

237
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: people are gonna fill the void, like if you have speculation,

238
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: people are gonna guess what it is. And there are

239
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: already a ton of rumors floating around that. I have

240
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: no idea if any of them are true. I bet

241
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: one of them is true. But there's like three. I've

242
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: heard three different ones multiple times. They can't all be true,

243
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: but one of them probably is true. I think I

244
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: have an idea which one is true, But I'm not gonna.

245
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to spread misinformation.

246
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: But regardless, the fact that I'm having that conversation Ryan

247
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: is why I think that was a bad idea for

248
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: Mark Pope to say.

249
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: Really kind of strange that a head coach would say

250
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: that about something right before a major game like that.

251
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 4: Now here's my thoughts about it. It was if it

252
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: was something internally, I don't think you. I don't think

253
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: he would have said anything, because it's stuff internally happens

254
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: all the time, like fights in practice, fights in the

255
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: locker room. I think they just kind of work through that.

256
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 4: But if it was something like they got into it

257
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 4: with somebody in the arena that led to an altercation

258
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 4: or something. But still, why do you why do you

259
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: even say it? But see and then he promises it goes,

260
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 4: I'll go get into it more in the future, Like

261
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: you say, so.

262
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Why what are you waiting shit? Like if you if

263
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna if you're gonna say it one day, why

264
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: are we letting it drag on?

265
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: Just say it.

266
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 6: It's like when somebody says I've got news, but I

267
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 6: can't tell you what the news is, and there's nothing

268
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: more frustrating.

269
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: People get mad at me.

270
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: But it's kind of like that, a.

271
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 6: Little bit, like, well, this happened, but I can't tell

272
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 6: you about it. I would say that's gonna probably be

273
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 6: the first question for the Mark Pope Collin show. It's

274
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 6: gonna happened.

275
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna be his first question tonight. Yeah, I mean

276
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna get asked that. That's gonna be the first

277
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: question in the postgame press conference, and then you know

278
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna be put in a position do you say

279
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: tonight or do you keep it lingering? And then after

280
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: the Michigan State game, is that going to be the

281
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: first question? Like, I don't know.

282
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 6: I like that he's open and honest with us, but

283
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 6: sometimes I think he overshares. Sometimes we don't need to

284
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 6: know all the stuff that's going on behind the scenes,

285
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 6: and that I thinks there's probably an example of one

286
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 6: of them.

287
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so odd decision. First of all, do you think

288
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: what he said? Do you think it did have an

289
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: effect on the game.

290
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: It seemed like some guys may have been affected by it.

291
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: We all talked about some guys just didn't play well.

292
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: We talked about the body language and some of the

293
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: other guys on the team. So I whatever it was,

294
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: it seems to maybe affected him or he wouldn't have

295
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: even had the notion to bring it up.

296
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I do not think. So. I've heard three different stories.

297
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: I will give one because because there's one that I

298
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: think is the one that people are talking about. Why.

299
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: I do not think it is necessarily the our guys

300
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: got into it with the students section, because.

301
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: I think that's happened before and that would get out. Well,

302
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: there was video.

303
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: I mean there's video of Jayleen load Jawn with the

304
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 3: student section, but Jalen Low really didn't play bad most

305
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 3: of the game, so I couldn't like. Jalen Low played well.

306
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: He took a couple of bad shots at the end,

307
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: but he actually played pretty well. So I don't think

308
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Low jawing with the student section Drew would have

309
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: had an effect on the result of the game.

310
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: No, and that was it doing the I have a

311
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: secret I can't tell you now over a player yelling

312
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: at a student teams that aren't even good.

313
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: Not last year.

314
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: I would sit and watch players go at it with

315
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: the student section.

316
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: It's usually playful. I can't imagine that would be it.

317
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: Plus, by the way, if you say publicly, if you're

318
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: a coach, the student section yelled at our players and

319
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: it rattled them.

320
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not a good son.

321
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: Every other telling, every other student section in the country

322
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 3: rattle our guys.

323
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: They get rattled. So I can't imagine that would be.

324
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 5: A good idea you as We'll just say I have

325
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 5: a very soft team if I.

326
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: Mean, so, it's got to be something else, And I

327
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: think it's probably something else. I actually think Ryan, it's

328
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: something else that did actually have an impact.

329
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: But I'm surprised he said it.

330
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that I'm really surprised you

331
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: would say, because you could kind of have kept that

332
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 3: in house, if that makes sense. Or the second thing

333
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: is Louisville did something and he's mad about it. He's

334
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: trying to figure out when he's gonna say it.

335
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: I think that he.

336
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: Said we were out of character. But yeah, so I

337
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean I think I know, but I

338
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: don't know. But either way, I'm surprised he said it.

339
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he needed to bring that up.

340
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: I'm very surprised he said it. He knows what kind

341
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: of fan base we are. We're all gonna speculate now

342
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: like we're doing right now.

343
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what this is what's gonna happen

344
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: if you do that, and and people less responsible than

345
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: us would sit in here and say them all and

346
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: then debate which one was more likely. That's just a

347
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: dumb decision. And there will be places that do that

348
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: right now.

349
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 5: And they just took a horrible loss. You need to

350
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 5: close the book and moved. What do you get in

351
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: two weeks. You can be like, oh, by the way,

352
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 5: let's bring up that Louisville pre game again after you

353
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: were playing Indiana, Like yeah, now we can move on and.

354
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: It's a great point. Let's say we go to New

355
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: York and lose to Michigan State. You're gonna explain why

356
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: we lost.

357
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,440

Speaker 4: Free parking in the parking garage, I think for their

00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving buffet, so big deal.

399
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: It's right.

400
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: Come on up and join us here in downtown. This

401
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: is a you get a good view of the city

402
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: right here. A lot of people are are a couple

403
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: of things people have said since.

404
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: The low injury that I think are important to note.

405
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: Number One, somebody rote and I think this is utterly ridiculous.

406
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: There was another MEDIUM member that said something to the

407
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: effect of that Jalen Lowe's injury prone. And then I

408
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: saw somebody say he saw he missed.

409
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: One game at pit one game.

410
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: He missed literally one game, So that's ridiculous to say

411
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: he's injury prone. Second, I've seen people say soft, dude,

412
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: it separated his shoulder. He separated shoulder, then came back

413
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: a couple weeks later, and it's still considered like you

414
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: can't help separating your shoulder. That's like saying you're soft

415
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: because you break your leg, Like, what are you supposed

416
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 3: to do?

417
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 5: I mean, he he was boxing out Diabate for a

418
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 5: reason exactly.

419
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: He was going up against Diabate.

420
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: If you're soft, you're not gonna be anywhere near Diabate.

421
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 3: So uh, I just think any criticism of him, or

422
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: any even criticism of Pope for the fact that he

423
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: got hurt, you know, he separated his shoulder.

424
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 5: I've seen people saying, the athletic trainers gotta go. I mean,

425
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 5: this is a lot of injuries were gonna do. We

426
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 5: were court sided when Kerr rolled his achol. I mean

427
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 5: you saw it right there last year again Zaga, and

428
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 5: now you got to point guard just boxing out against

429
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 5: a big man. They've they've mostly you know, they seem

430
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 5: like just freak injuries and it's just been too many happened.

431
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: I mean, things happen.

432
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: I think our fan base we have the greatest traits

433
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: in about ninety five percent of what fans are. But

434
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 3: we a problem we have is we freak out and

435
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 3: we make grand proclamations about little things.

436
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: And I think I saw that last night with his injuryes.

437
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 6: We overreact to everything. We beat Purdue or ready for

438
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 6: the national title, we lose to Georgeown. Oh no, we suck.

439
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 6: That's just what we do as a fan base.

440
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: One person rights, Matt, would it be nice to have

441
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: Travis Perry back.

442
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 6: I mean, he hasn't done anything at Old Miss.

443
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: He's averaging two point three points a game at Old Miss,

444
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, I mean he'd be a body, But

445
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: I don't think it would make any difference.

446
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: He'd be third string point guard. Maybe now he gets

447
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: to play.

448
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: But I love Travis Perry, but you saw last year

449
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: what happens if we have Travis Perry's our point guard

450
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: in elite games.

451
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: We get run off the floor. I mean we saw

452
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: that last year.

453
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: We get a sec play. You need a guy, athletic,

454
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: guy like Aberdeen. He's a guy that give lows out.

455
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 4: Aberdeen's a guy that can carry you as your point guard.

456
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: One person writes, Matt, you said go to the G

457
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: League and get a point guard. Does that really work

458
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: and is it allowed? I think so by you just

459
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: did it.

460
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: Wolve's got one coming next year, but by U's got

461
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: one coming this year that is gonna start.

462
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: I think it's said in December, so I guess you can.

463
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: There are no rules. Yeah, there's no rules at all.

464
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I still think it's crazy. I'm glad he's here.

465
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 5: But Yellovich was in like the championship game of the

466
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 5: biggest pro league in Europe.

467
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: Now he's going to UK one oh one on campus.

468
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: None of it makes sense to me.

469
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: And imagine you're on the G League. You're not probably

470
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 6: making that much money. You could come here and make

471
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 6: a lot more on nil to play for good touch

472
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 6: came in and have the spotlight beyond you where people

473
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 6: are actually watching your games.

474
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: I like the G League, totally agree a couple op

475
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: the lines eight, five to nine, two eighth, twenty two

476
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: eighty seven. Let's go back real quick to the Pope comments,

477
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: what wouldn't you say whatever it was that happened pregame.

478
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: I get part of why. I don't understand why Pope

479
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: said it is okay, fair enough, but at halftime we

480
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: were down what seven?

481
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever happened in the first half.

482
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe that affects the start of the game, but

483
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: by halftime, you're down seven, we're three minutes to go,

484
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: you're down four. So whatever happened at the beginning of

485
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 3: the game, Ryan, I still don't say that affects the

486
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 3: entire I mean we.

487
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 2: Were up, actually had a good start, took a lead

488
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: at the start. If you remember, we actually looked pretty

489
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: good at the start. I think we were up five, So.

490
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: It's more reason it's so rare for him to screw

491
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: up public comments.

492
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't understand this.

493
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 4: Sometimes we get on coaches for being not being open enough. Pope,

494
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: maybe be too open about stuff. This may be just

495
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 4: something with just his nature, his character. He just trying

496
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 4: to share what really is the story to keep us

497
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 4: from worrying. I don't know, but I think coaches need

498
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 4: to got to keep the little things internal and need

499
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 4: to stay in there.

500
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: Kind of feels like I don't think it is, but

501
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 6: it kind of feels like an excuse. I want to

502
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 6: hear that. That's I don't want to hear that.

503
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: There's a part So I know what you're saying. We

504
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 3: do want our coach to tell us things at the

505
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 3: same time, but we also there's a fine line between

506
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: telling you and it being an excuse. And I again,

507
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: we don't know what this is, but it feels like

508
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: it leans toward excuse.

509
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: Now, what if it comes out Louisville did something.

510
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: Well, then maybe that would be about excuse. We got

511
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 6: to hear what it is.

512
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: What could they have done?

513
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he said out of character for us, So

514
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 5: you almost have to be the reaction to what Louisville did.

515
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 5: I think the most likely scenario is this is really

516
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 5: dumb and Pope's had a golly g moment behind scenes

517
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: and then set it to hint at it and if

518
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: we found out, we'd be like, that's it, why did

519
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 5: you bring that up?

520
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you. I think that is I

521
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: think the most likely scenarios you're gonna hear about something

522
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: that happens, probably more than you realize, and we are

523
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: blowing it out of proportion. But we're doing it in

524
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: part because he said that, right, Like, because he said that,

525
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: that's gonna make it to where you don't have a choice.

526
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: I mean every after he said that yesterday, everyone I

527
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: talked to I was getting text from people.

528
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to in ten years what happened? Because

529
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: you know, people want gossip like it's just natural human nature.

530
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: And the fact that came out after Louis Will just

531
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: beat us is does that magnify it? Like, Oh, what's

532
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 4: the problem?

533
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: What happened?

534
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 4: We need to know what's what caused that?

535
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 6: And if if we don't never hear it's gonna go

536
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 6: down and like Kentucky folklore for years to come. If

537
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 6: we never get the reason, you know, because we're gonna

538
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 6: be talking.

539
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: About well it has to say exactly. But if he

540
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: doesn't say the reason, now that the stories are gonna

541
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: get wilder and wild. It's like the old story about

542
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: the fight on the point.

543
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 4: That's it, Tim Turmoil find the plane.

544
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: Between Gerald Fitch and what is it? I don't know

545
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: what happened on that plane, but like over the years,

546
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: it's become like it was snakes on the plant right,

547
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: like it was an absolute bro and it probably.

548
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 6: Whoa, what just happened? Something fell right.

549
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: We'll take a break and be right back. Let's Sucky's

Speaker 5: the final home game, even though it is an FCS game,

565
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 5: But the Bills Stadium, a Bill's game and Bill's Mafia

566
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 5: is high on my life bucket list, and I can't

567
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 5: wait to get up there.

568
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: If you've ever heard us when we're on the road,

569
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: you're definitely gonna want to hear the show, the postgame

570
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: show Saturday, Shannon, because we're just gonna pull off on

571
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 2: the side of the road in some town and then

00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: do the postgame show.

573
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,680

Speaker 2: Monday, we will be doing the show in Buffalo. Me, Drew, Billy,

575
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: and Mario. There in Buffalo.

576
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 6: I was telling Billy, this is his first ever KSR

577
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: road trip. First I think to properly break him in

578
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 6: and give him his initiation. You need to make sure

579
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 6: you find an airbnb with a princess bed to make

580
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 6: him sleep on that, because that's what you gotta do

581
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 6: on a road.

582
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: For the record, we did book an airbnb. There you go.

583
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: It has three king bats yep, and one bunk. Bad.

584
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: Billy gets the bunk Bad.

585
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 6: You get top four bottom Billy your choice.

586
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: Do get to choose, though, he can choose top or bottom.

587
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 6: But which one are you?

588
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: Yes, he's more of a bo. He's certainly a bottom

589
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: for this trip.

590
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: I hate to miss the the basketball pregame show tonight,

591
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: but I have a hot date.

592
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,000

Speaker 4: Chucker opening.

606
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: Maybe okay, storry a manute, you're skipping work to take

607
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: her straight to someone she would dump you for.

608
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: Yees, seems like a bad idea. Where is this concert

609
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: at a Wendy's?

610
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, someplace called the Drudge Garage in Cincinnati.

611
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 6: Garage to play the garage bar not River Ben.

612
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: No, he's playing.

613
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: No, he's playing at some guy named like Bill Drudge's garage.

614
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 6: I mean I could book him at my garage if

615
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: you really want to come over.

616
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, I wish you the bed.

617
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 4: All the ladies my age they know Sean Cassidy.

618
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: Why two women. One person writes, Matt, you're being a hypocrite.

619
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: You're saying Pope is wrong by saying he has info

620
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: he won't share, and now you're doing.

621
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: The same thing. You can't have your cake and eat

622
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: it too well.

623
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean there's I guess there's some truth

624
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: to that, but I would say, you know, if the

625
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: governor of Kentucky says something that's different than if Ryan

626
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 3: Lemon says it. I mean, Mark Pope has a responsibility

627
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: as coach that's different than the responsibility of a person

628
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: on the radio. My reason for saying I know there's

629
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 3: three things is I actually want people to not too

630
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: much overreact.

631
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 2: I mean, I saw some things online that were like

632
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: rumors that were terrible.

633
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: I just want people I'm almost wanting to throw Pope

634
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: a lifeline and go, don't go say something that makes

635
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: people think it might be something huge of you know,

636
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: I've heard three stories.

637
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: I have the one that I think is correct.

638
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: I could sit here and tell you, But what if

639
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, then I put out a false story to

640
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: every Is that a positive thing? I'm just telling you

641
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: of the ones I've heard, it's not that huge a deal,

642
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: which is partially why I don't think Mark Pope should

643
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: have set it to begin.

644
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 2: I could even say it because I think it makes people.

645
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: People will always speculate with the worst version. You may

646
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: remember when I was in the hospital. You remember I

647
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: called in one day. Yes, I called in because people

648
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 2: were speculating things that were much worse than what was

649
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: actually happening. I mean, what was actually happening was important,

650
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: but like I was hearing that, people were like thought

651
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: I was about to die, and so I wanted to

652
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: make sure, Hey it's it's I'm okay. I kind of

653
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: think like when you.

654
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: Just throw it out there, Drew and you have no context,

655
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: people end up going a lot farther than it probably is.

656
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: And this is a head coach in a press conference

657
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 5: talking about just getting his butt kicked in a rivalry game,

658
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: and you're a sports radio host just trying to interpret

659
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 5: his comments. So I'll defend you a little their different circumstances.

660
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: Hope's in an official setting and he needed to have

661
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 5: some answers because a lot of the fan base want

662
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 5: to know what went wrong. And then he just kind

663
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 5: of was like, I got a secret, but I'm not

664
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: telling you.

665
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably a mistake. Who's up first? Neil is

666
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: up first, Neil go ahead, and Neil.

667
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 7: Hey man.

668
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 8: I'm actually gonna be a little critical of Pope here.

669
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 8: I think that he constructed this roster. It's to the

670
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 8: opposite of what he thinks the team should look like.

671
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 8: They can't play defense and they can't shoot. He didn't

672
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 8: bring anybody in to really fix that, and I especially

673
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 8: fault them for bringing back branding gearson. I don't want

674
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 8: to kill the guy, but there's nothing that he did

675
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 8: last year that you could look at and say this

676
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 8: is a starter in the SEC and a starter for

677
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 8: a top five team.

678
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let me let me counter your first point for

679
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: just a second.

680
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I think Pope might have made a couple of

681
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: mistakes on the roster.

682
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: I would know, we're three games into the season, and

683
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: so you know, maybe slow down just a little bit.

684
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: We're three games into the season. If you count the

685
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: two exhibition games. We just beat Perdue, who just went

686
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: on the road and beat Alabama.

687
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: With that said, I do not agree with your premise

688
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: about the defense. Yeah, they did not play, well it's Louisville,

689
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: But otherwise this year their defense has actually been pretty good,

690
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: even in times they've struggled. I don't think you can

691
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: just say they can't play any defense. I actually don't

692
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: think that's fair. They did not play great defense in

693
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: the first half against Louisville last game, but I don't

694
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: think you can say definitively they can't play defense.

695
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 8: Well, I would say that they can play defense against

696
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 8: you know, the bottom two hundred ten pomp teams. But

697
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 8: once you see it, well.

698
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: How do you explain the way how do you explain

699
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: the way they help? How do you explain Purdue scoring

700
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: what fifty eight.

701
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 8: Pretty slow in an athletic and a Big ten team, Well.

702
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: They scored eighty five against Alabama?

703
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 8: Well, Alabama don't play defense in the shooters we don't

704
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 8: have we don't have that.

705
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I mean again, now I feel like the

706
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: argument I'm having against UK football. Every team sucks if

707
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: we beat them, and we sucks if like, at some

708
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 3: point you actually have to give them credit. We played

709
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 3: defense well again, I mean even Georgetown, the reason we

710
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: lost was he didn't play good offense.

711
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm not willing to give up on the team.

712
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 3: I will make you a bet by the end of

713
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: the seedon season, Louisville is one.

714
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: Of the three best teams in America in offensive efficiency.

715
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make you that bad.

716
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: And if that's the case, would you say that maybe

717
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: sometimes that team might just be really good and we

718
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: were playing.

719
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: On their home floor, on their home floor in a

720
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: in a night where in the first half they were

721
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: crazy hot. Is that possible.

722
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's very possible, And I hope that is the case.

723
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 8: I hope we can turn the defense around and learn

724
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 8: to stop athletic teams. But just the prospect doesn't look

725
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 8: very good when you know we do have Brandon Garrison,

726
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 8: and our centers aren't very you know, the most athletic people.

727
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: We're losing Low, the worst defender on the team.

728
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: So I appreciate the car Our defense will not get

729
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: Our offense is gonna get worse through but our defense

730
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: will not be worse without Low. He's the worst defender

731
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: on the team and I love the kid, I'm as

732
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: big as promote, but he can't play defense, so the

733
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: defense actually think we'll get better without him.

734
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the scoring.

735
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I have plenty of concerns too. I'm not

736
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: gonna sit here and act like it's all all roses

737
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 5: over there. But that game was on November eleventh. I

738
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 5: don't have a crystal ball to know what it's gonna look.

739
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna form any season long predictions. Losing a

740
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 5: rivalry game on the road in the third game of

741
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 5: the year, I'm as disappointed as anyone. And oh way,

742
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 5: you need to get it going. Three point shooting needs

743
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 5: to get better. Lots of things need to be corrected.

744
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 5: But I'm not gonna make any statements about the season

745
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 5: after three games.

746
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes Ryan also, the more we see of a guy,

747
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: the more critical we are. Oh yeah, okay, I mean

748
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: That's that's why I used to say sometimes guys can

749
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: stay in college too long because you start to pick

750
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: out their holes. That Who are the two players that

751
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: have received the most criticism for UK this year, Owayne Garrison?

752
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: Who are the two dudes that return We all wanted

753
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: them to all We I hope in this new era,

754
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: this non cal era, We're gonna have guys returned, and

755
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: I do hope we're careful not to always punish them

756
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: for returning by like them being the people were the

757
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: most Look, I was very critical of o Way.

758
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: I've never loved Garrison as a player, going back to

759
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: last year.

760
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: But I also think if Garrison doesn't play well, there's

761
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: a little guy named Jaden Quainton's coming in a little while.

762
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: You got yellow, bitch, you got moreno always a bigger

763
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: deal to me than Garrison, because I don't know if

764
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: we have the replacement Ryan for oh Way Garrison.

765
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: We can sit on the bitch if he doesn't play well.

766
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: You know, you brought up a great point. How many

767
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: times did Pope say his players take a big step

768
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: up in year two? That's kind of his narrative all summer.

769
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 4: We talked about it, and out of the four guys,

770
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 4: Colin Chandler maybe the only one of the four second

771
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 4: year guys that have really stepped up. The other three

772
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 4: guys are still we're still kind of waiting for it

773
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: to happen.

774
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 5: Maybe we still haven't gotten a fair look at Noah.

775
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 5: I mean, he was cold in the first few appearances,

776
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 5: but with the turned ankle, you know, hadn't played in

777
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: two and a half games. I'm still hoping he makes

778
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 5: that sophomore jump. But it's way too early say anything

779
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: about him.

780
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say, wait till we get to the

781
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 6: conference schedule. You know, we're three games. I mean we

782
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 6: are here.

783
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: We are three games.

784
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and people are already you know, we had a

785
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 6: call yesterday on the pre show already won in Garrison

786
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: out of the starting lineup. Well maybe, but like, let's

787
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 6: not give up on them yet. It's still so early.

788
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: We're three games.

789
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got a championship to win the night.

790
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: I mean, remember, right last year we beat Duke and

791
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 3: we and we all myself included, We're like, we're the

792
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: best team in the world. And then a couple of

793
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: weeks later we lost by like fifty to Ohio State.

794
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 2: So you know, so take Alabama. Alabama goes wins at

795
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: Saint John's and you're like, man, this team's great, and

796
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: then they just lose at home to produce yep, Like

797
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes early in the year, Drew, you're gonna

798
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: get weird.

799
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 5: Results, and I'm gonna go and tell y'all get ready.

800
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: Louisville's about to play a terrible game. They've got a

801
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 5: tough three game stretch coming up, and one is against

802
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 5: John Caliperry won't shock me if he beats him by

803
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 5: twenty five, because that's just how it goes sometimes. That

804
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 5: would the roller coasters make twenty five a little high,

805
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 5: But the roller coasters of college basketball, especially in November,

806
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 5: I just don't think you can really judge the big

807
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 5: picture yet.

808
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: Ex I do think it would have been used to

809
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: get one more shooter on this roster.

810
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: I do think that I wish we had one more game,

811
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: and maybe no I'll be that guy when he gets healthy.

812
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: I wish we had one more shooter.

813
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 5: If this goes on like that with Cam and Noah

814
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 5: not shooting well, then Pope did form a bad team.

815
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 5: If you want to take thirty three's a game and

816
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 5: you don't have a good shooter, then that is you

817
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 5: didn't build it the way you like to play.

818
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: Hey, you wouldn't let a bad call slide in tonight's

819
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: game against Eastern Illinois. Well, Ryan, what if you had

820
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: a mole that changed shape or a spot that wouldn't heal?

821
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: What would you do? Matt it's an interesting transition.

822
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 3: Kentucky Skin Cancer Center has your back, your chest, your ears,

Speaker 2: That's true? What about that other one?

Speaker 3: On the text machine, UH, one person writes, Matt, I

843
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: hate how negative our fans get. We are gonna be fine.

844
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: This Kentucky team has played three games. There have been

845
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: very few seasons outside of a couple in UK history,

846
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: where we didn't lose to a bad team early in

847
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: the year.

848
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: It happens fair enough.

849
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 3: I don't think Louis's bad though, I mean, I actually

850
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: think Louis's good. So uh, but you're right, we lose

851
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 3: to bad We lost to UNC Wilmington a couple of years.

852
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Ago at home.

853
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll remind you some of some of the

854
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: undertones of our most negative people are people who still

855
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: wish we had cow. I'll remind you that Col's last

856
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 3: year with Rob Dillingham and Ree Shepard, we lost to

857
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 3: UNC Wilmington.

858
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: Earlier in the year at home.

859
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 5: Right, you know, we don't have enough time to count

860
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 5: Cal's November losses.

861
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: We couldn't win, one person, writes Matt Purdue didn't scout

862
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: against Kentucky. You can't pay any attention to that game.

863
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: It's becoming clear Pope can't coach defense. Just look at

864
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: the Georgetown game. Oh so we can't pay attention to

865
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: the Perdue game, but we also have to pay attention

866
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: to the Georgetown game. That's what we do, man, That's

867
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 3: that is the kind of negative fan. That drives me crazy.

868
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,439
Speaker 3: And by the way, how do we know Purdue didn't

869
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: scout against them because they because they said it?

870
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: Right? Come on, that's by the way, that's ridiculous.

871
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 3: If you don't believe Perdue did anything, then you're you're insane.

872
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: Plus, they're pretty good. I watched them last night. A

873
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: lot of the things they do we stopped.

874
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: Give us some credit for it, right, I don't know

875
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 3: the idea that we have to set Whatever bad happens,

876
00:36:59,000 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 3: that's legit.

877
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: Whatever good happens, well, there's an excuse.

878
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 6: Come on, we've heard the same version of that on

879
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 6: football the last couple of weeks. When you dominate Florida,

880
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 6: Florida sucks.

881
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: You know, you just.

882
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 6: Got back to back wins in the sec we won.

883
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 6: Give yourself some credit.

884
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you just get I don't understand that.

885
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 3: And then another person writes what do you think about

886
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: Marcus and Jeff Tige, saying they're worried about Kentucky basketball

887
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 3: because we don't have stars anymore.

888
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: I love Marcus and Jeff t They're hilarious. I wouldn't

889
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: exactly call them intellectuals, No, they're awesome. Those two guys

890
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 2: Jeff Tige makes me laugh as much as anyone in

891
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: sports right now. With that said, their version of what

892
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball should be is what Cal had, which was

893
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: a ton of stars coming in, which we liked, but

894
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 2: it wasn't working anymore. It wasn't.

895
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: I said this yesterday, and Ryan, I want to know

896
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 3: what you think about this. I said that the book

897
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: on Mark Pope has yet to be written. It's a

898
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: it's a novel that hasn't been It's like, we're thirty

899
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: pages into it. It might end up being a great book,

900
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 3: a classic. It might end up being a book that

901
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: doesn't work. But we don't know yet. But here's what

902
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 3: I know. The book on Cal Perry was closed, it

903
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: was finished. I was done with it. It was a

904
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 3: great book. I loved it. But then I got to

905
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: the end and I was ready for a new book.

906
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 5: To the very end, I was like, Yod, I was

907
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 5: loving you, but this is We're just it's a great

908
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: examples like Game of Thrones, You're like man.

909
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: Season two was awesome. Those first seasons were incredible.

910
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: They were amazing, but you know what, they could have

911
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: stuck the ind a little bit. This is a new

912
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: book and we'll see what happens.

913
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 4: The Mark book book is even one. I think I

914
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 4: would sit down and read. You know, and you read

915
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: a book, but I would read the Mark Poe book.

916
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: Some chapters are a little disappointing. Some chapters make you happy.

917
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: I think we had a lot more happy chapters coming

918
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: then we do disappointing chapters.

919
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: It's tough for you to make book analogies.

920
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 4: I thought I nailed that one. I thought he did

921
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 4: a pretty good job on that one.

922
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that's true. By the way,

923
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: weekend watching when you're not watching UK sports. That movie

924
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 2: on Netflix about James Garfield is really good.

925
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: Like it's about the guy who assassinated James Garfield and

926
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 3: he's playing and he's played by Tom.

927
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: Wopat from Succession, you know, Shim's husband.

928
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it doesn't sound like it'd be good, but

929
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 3: everybody would like it. It's called Death by Lightning and

930
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: it's on Netflix. It's only four episodes. I finished three,

931
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: really really good. Who's next?

932
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: Greg is up next? Greg? Go ahead?

933
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 7: Greg got good morning, gentlemen.

934
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: How's it going doing good?

935
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 7: Yeah? I wanted to make a just a few comments.

936
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 7: If I'm a first of all, and let me say

937
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 7: in defense of the coach Pope, I'm overall well pleased

938
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 7: with him being hired as a coach the University of Kentucky,

939
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 7: and please with Mitch Barnhardt's decision to hire him. But

940
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 7: you know, based on what you had said in the

941
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 7: beginning of your show about something going on with what

942
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 7: he said in his press conference, uh that we don't

943
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 7: know what that is. And but seems like the Louisville game,

944
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 7: you know, Coach Pope seems like last year pretty much.

945
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 2: Answer volume down, go ahead. I'm sorry, no, go ahead.

946
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 7: It seems like last year coach Pope had answers when

947
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 7: Kentucky was not playing good. He would go in at

948
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 7: halftime and come up with a plan. But I don't

949
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 7: know if somebody has already made this comment. Maybe this

950
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 7: has affected him more than it has a team to

951
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 7: the team in the Louisville game, because he did not

952
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 7: seem to have any answers at all. He didn't try anything.

953
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 7: He couldn't slow down Louisville at all. And I know

954
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 7: he don't play. I understand that he's on the shide.

955
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 4: Well I think he did.

956
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: I do think he had answers. It just took him

957
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 2: too long to get him.

958
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 7: I mean we played well in the Wilkes Cam Williams, Well.

959
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: That's an answer. Part of the defense got a lot better.

960
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 3: One of the things they started to do is they

961
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: started immediately pressuring mcal McHale Brown the moment he got

962
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: the ball, go back and watch the possessions in the

963
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 3: last ten minutes.

964
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 2: They got it out of his hands and they said.

965
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 3: Okay, Cromwell, I keep forgetting to give McNeely, I'm on late.

966
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: Make you beat us going to the rim. And they

967
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: really weren't able to.

968
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: So they made a couple of big The biggest was

969
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: they got the ball out of Brown's hands most of

970
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 3: the time. Now, Louisville countered that late in the game

971
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 3: they would set double screens which would get him one

972
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: on one and that big play where he got the

973
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: and one biggest play of the game occurred during that.

974
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: But he they did make changes. Now I think it

975
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 3: took too long, but they did.

976
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 7: Make changes that definitely helped him. Course, well, let me

977
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 7: say I didn't watch the game. I usually have the

978
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 7: game on the radio with Tom Lee given.

979
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 4: Well, how do you know he didn't make any changes.

980
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 7: Well on the radio.

981
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man, I appreciate them. I do appre I

982
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: gotta go to break. I think you will take a break.

983
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. Wow, that was incredible. We'll break,

984
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: will be right back, it says Kentucky Sports Radio.
