Speaker 5: You tell me I sound fine, right, you tell me

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: I sound fine.

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: I've got yeah.

30
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: You should hear it in my ear. It sounds like

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: it sounds like we're doing it in a garbage can.

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna do my best to get through it

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: because it is in my ear. This couldn't sound worse,

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: but Shannon says it sounds fine, so we'll make it work.

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 5: Ryan and Drew are in Lexington. Shannon is in Louisville.

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 4: I was here last night for the NCAA selection show

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: on ESPN Radio, which was a lot of fun.

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 5: We'll talk about in a little bit. Ryan.

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: Last time we were all together was Friday, an awful

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: performance at the SEC tournament. Here's my view on that

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: game Friday night. How about now we just don't act

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: like it happened.

43
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: Are you mean with that? With that, let's just feel

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: the postgame show.

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: It was like two in the morning, and Drew, it

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: was such a terrible performance in the game, and we

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: got the NCAA tournament. I make a motion, and all

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: in favor say I, I make a motion. We just

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: act like that game Friday night didn't happen. Do I

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: have a second? I suck at the motion?

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: All right? All in favor, SAYI ay? All a pose?

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 5: All right, there you go. So now let's just get

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 5: to the tournament. And Drew.

54
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: The bracket comes out last night, and uh, what'd you

55
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: think Kentucky ends up going to Milwaukee.

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: That's good.

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: Plays Troy and then the winner of a basically three

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: teams Illinois, Texas Xavier potential Sweet sixteen matchup with Tennessee.

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 5: What did you think of the draw?

60
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 7: I'll start with just the location. Uh, Milwaukee was my

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 7: my number one pick before the bracket came out. I'm excited.

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 7: We're playing on a Friday night's drivable. We're gonna have

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 7: a lot of fun in that city. And then you know,

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 7: fourteen seed you could have, You're not getting a great team,

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 7: but looking up Troy, I think it's a good matchup too.

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 7: So I love the draw. Love everything about it.

67
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Troy. I will admit, Shannon, don't know one thing

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: about Troy. I mean I know where it is. It's

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: in Alabama. But as far as their basketball team, couldn't

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: tell you one thing about the Troy basketball team. Don't

71
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: know a player, don't know the coach. I was trying

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: to think of if I knew Ryan. Do you know

73
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 4: anyone that ever played for Troy basketball?

74
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 6: No, but I know one of their former head coaches

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 6: is Phil Cunningham from Campbellsville. He was their head coach

76
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 6: a couple years ago when they made the NCAA Tournament.

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 6: He went, he went to Kentucky, westing with me. Yeah, yeah,

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: I know that. Yeah, so you have a former head coach. Yeah,

79
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 6: I know no players. I know nothing about Troy, but

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: I do know this, Shanna. We can't lose to them.

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: I know that. We just can't let that happen.

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: I think they ranked like three hundred and thirty ninth

83
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: and three point shooting. So that's a good thing for Kentucky, really,

84
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: is that right? They are a good defensive team and

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: they ranked sixth in America an offensive rebound efficiency, so

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: they got that going for them.

87
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: But other than that I think we could beat them.

88
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: That's more stats than I do.

89
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: So they can't shoot threes, they offensive rebound pretty good defensively,

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: now Ran we've for the most part, had some success

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: against teams like that. That's kind of what Tennessee is like.

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: For instance. You know there'll be a pace differential matchup.

93
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: I know they slow it down some. The spread is

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: only ten and a half, so at least Vegas thinks

95
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to bring it in order to win

96
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: this first game.

97
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 6: Do you think Vegas is weighing that just on the

98
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: injuries we've had lately, because I thought that that was

99
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 6: gonna be kind of a low spread for this game.

100
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: I thought it was slow too, But it may be

101
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: a few things drew. It might be the injuries, it

102
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: might be that, you know, we've struggled some with teams

103
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 4: that weren't the greatest. And it also just might be

104
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 4: that we've lost two of the last three games to

105
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: teams like this in the tournament.

106
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and Troy's pretty hot team too. Ken Palm Jacks

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 7: at eighty two to seventy, so that's right there around

108
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 7: the spread. I also thought it would have been a little higher,

109
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 7: but they're coming in hot and they like a low

110
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 7: scoring game. So I guess that's how we landed ten

111
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 7: and a half. It's even eleven and a half. It's

112
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 7: kind of on the move up. So if you're gonna

113
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 7: get it, I would get in early because I think

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 7: that'll only continue to climb.

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hope.

116
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: So I overall, I look at the bracket and I

117
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: say this, all right, you go to Milwaukee.

118
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 5: I've Drew and I've been to Milwaukee. Shan you ever

119
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 5: been to Milwaukee?

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Uh, I think we maybe went through it for a

121
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: few hours, but I don't think we ever stopped off

122
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: and did anything there.

123
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: Okay, I've actually been there a few times. Yeah, once

124
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 4: with Drew, once, once with a once with a golf trip.

125
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: I was actually with Mario on our way to Green Bay.

126
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: I think it's a very cool city for Kentucky fans

127
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: considering whether to go. I think Milwaukee's one of the

128
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: more underrated like gyms in America. Oh even go, say wow.

129
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: A gym, it's a gym.

130
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 5: I think it's a gym.

131
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: They've got, you know, a big beer selection. I feel

132
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: like that would make you happy, Drew, right, Like all

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: kinds of micro brus that kind of stuff, plus some

134
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 4: big companies. Well, I don't know what the weather will

135
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: be like cold cold, looked at it, looked it up old, Yeah,

136
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: how cold is it supposed to be?

137
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: What cold?

138
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 8: Oh?

139
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: Let's see.

140
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, hey, Friday is supposed to be up to fifty

141
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: one degrees a low of twenty eight, So we'll take fifty.

142
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 4: Well, see, so like it's gonna be really hot. So

143
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fifty one degrees. Uh, you don't have

144
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: to worry about that, but I do. I actually think

145
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 4: it's a nice place. Then you look at the bracket.

146
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: Let's put Troy aside. Obviously we have to beat them,

147
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: but we don't know anything about him. You get Illinois,

148
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 4: Xavier or Texas. Ryan, that means in the second round,

149
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna get a pretty good team. It's gonna be

150
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: one of those I have to tell you. I look

151
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: at that group, and Ryan, I'm not sure who I

152
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 4: want to play. Like of those three, who would you

153
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 4: want to play?

154
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 6: Just just me personally? I know we're better than Texas.

155
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 6: We gave that game away at Texas that night, just

156
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 6: with some late game turnovers. I saw all Illinois a

157
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: couple times this year. They're they're pretty good. You know

158
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 6: Big Z's brothers. Twin brother plays on the team. They're

159
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 6: not They're not bad. But I would love another shot

160
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 6: at Texas and just bury them.

161
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: The thing about Illinois drew Is is they can be

162
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: really good when that one guy's good.

163
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 7: The what how do you say his name? I mean,

164
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 7: it's got Jay's and k's.

165
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: Jack has so many letters, like you need to look

166
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 4: look up the guy. I think he has the world

167
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: record for most letters in his name.

168
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: It's like fresh rush of.

169
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: Let's talk Ryan. Pronounce it. He's always good at pronouncing names.

170
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no. He'll find a way for

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: it to be offensive. I just know he won't find

172
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: a way to say it in a way that's not

173
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: But it's a lot of ass. I think it starts

174
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: with an ass first name. I think it starts with

175
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: a J in the second.

176
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: Name j A K. You ready for it?

177
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 8: All right?

178
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 5: What's his first name?

179
00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Kesperris k A s p A r A.

180
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: All right, so Cas Sparis. Okay, what's the last name.

181
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna spell it for you.

182
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: Jak uc Io Nis.

183
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how to say that.

184
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: Good greed J so we'll call him Jasparis the other

185
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: whatever his last name is. That guy's really good and

186
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: he is gonna be like a top ten pick.

187
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: But he can also be awful.

188
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: Like Drew, he will shoot them into If he's hot,

189
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: he's like impossible to stop. If he's not, they can

190
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: lose by thirty five points to teams. So he worries me.

191
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 5: A little bit.

192
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit Drew with Ryan, Like, I know

193
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 4: what Texas is, so I wouldn't mind playing them in

194
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: the next game.

195
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll lean that direction. Texas has looked pretty good lately.

196
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 7: They got their own lottery pick maybe in Trey Johnson.

197
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 7: That would worry me a little bit. But I do

198
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 7: agree that you had him beat down there in Austin

199
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 7: in the regular season, playing with a limited roster and

200
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 7: just completely collapse down in the end to lose. So

201
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 7: I would of all of them, might go Xavier first,

202
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 7: but I'm not afraid of Texas at all. I'd welcome

203
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 7: that challenge.

204
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 6: It's crazy you could have the SEC teams in back

205
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 6: to back games, right with Texas and the NURDY Tennessee.

206
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: We have sat here and said we can't wait for

207
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: the tournament to get away from SEC teams, and now Ryan,

208
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: we might be playing more SEC teams in the tournament.

209
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 6: Isn't that crazy? I mean, it just blows my mind.

210
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 6: There's so many SEC teams in the tournament. They got

211
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 6: to put them somewhere.

212
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: And then the other thing about Illinois is that they

213
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: sit there, Ryan Champagne, Illinois is only like an hour

214
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: and a half from Milwaukee, right, So if you're looking

215
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: at it from a crowd perspective, there's a chance if

216
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 4: we played Illinois that they could have the biggest crowd,

217
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: So they could have I won't say a home game,

218
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: but it could feel like a neutral home game for them,

219
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: which is another reason it might be better to play

220
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: one of those other two teams.

221
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 6: You know, I hadn't thought about that, but you're right.

222
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 6: You know, Kentucky, we'll travel, we'll have a good crowd,

223
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 6: but the second best crowd, maybe the best crowd, will

224
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 6: be definitely Illinois fans and making that trip.

225
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 5: Up there just right there.

226
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: So I mean that's one of the reasons maybe to

227
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: pull Shandon for the winner of Xavier, Texas is you

228
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: might not have to deal with the Illinois crown.

229
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that and I would just I think they're obviously seedium.

230
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: Why is they're the worst teams as opposed to playing Illinois.

231
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: So I think I'd rather play like a Xavier if

232
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: I had my pick of those teams.

233
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Xavier is okay.

234
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: Like but here's the thing, and this ultimately is my

235
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: question for you guys. You've now seen the bracket. What

236
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: is success and what is like failure and what's kind

237
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: of in the middle. I'll give you my opinion real quick.

238
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: We have to beat Troy. We have to.

239
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 5: We cannot lose to a team.

240
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: Like this again. We have to beat Troy. There's no

241
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 4: argument for me that losing to Troy can be positive.

242
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 4: It will be negative after that. Then there's a lot

243
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: of X factors to me. Okay, does how healthy is

244
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: Lamont Boler? How does he play?

245
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: All?

246
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 5: Right?

247
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: Who do we get? How do the game go? The

248
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: second round game? I think we're gonna be better than

249
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: those teams, but I think those teams are good, So

250
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: it's not like it's a.

251
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 5: Given you're gonna win.

252
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 4: Then if you get to sweet sixteen, if you just

253
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: told me in the abstract we're in the sweet sixteen,

254
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: I'm really happy with that. But then if we have

255
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: to play Tennessee and we lose to Tennessee, It's gonna

256
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: break my heart because who wants to lose to Tennessee.

257
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 4: It's like the twenty fourteen game in Indianapolis against Louisville.

258
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: Like you're telling me we gotta play Louisville Indianapolis. You're

259
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: telling me we gotta play Tennessee. But at the same time,

260
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 4: it would be the Sweet sixteen. So for me, the

261
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: one given is we have to beat Troy. If we

262
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: lose in the second round, I'm gonna be disappointed, but

263
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: not like furious because of the injuries. And if we

264
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: lose in the Sweet sixteen to Tennessee, I'm gonna hate

265
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: it because it's Tennessee, but also recognize that I think

266
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: it was an amazing accomplishment to get there, and if

267
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: we somehow beat Tennessee, then to me, this is a

268
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: dancing in the street kind of success.

269
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 5: Drew, what about you?

270
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 7: I was gonna say, I need to see the Sweet sixteen,

271
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 7: but if it's the Valls there in the Sweet sixteen,

272
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 7: I gotta win it. I mean gotta win that one.

273
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 7: If you'd given me any of the other twos. Michigan State,

274
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: even Rick Patino. I could have lived with going out

275
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 7: in the Sweet sixteen, but as long as Tennessee comes

276
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 7: out of that pod. If it's Kentucky Tennessee and Indianapolis,

277
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 7: I have to have an Elite eight any other team,

278
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 7: I'll live with it. But the pain of losing to

279
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 7: the Valls would be awful. Oh be crazy, Ryan.

280
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: Can you imagine in Indianapolis Kentucky Tennessee on a Friday night.

281
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: It'd be awesome. That will that will be like that

282
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 4: Kentucky ouival crap. It will be wild. It'll be wild.

283
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 4: That'll be one of those environments if it happens that

284
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 4: you have to be in Kentucky Tennessee in Indy, where

285
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: both teams fans can get there, Ryan, that'll be like.

286
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: That'll be like that Louisville game that year. That'll be epic.

287
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 6: And that's what Mars Maddinson makes it so special. You

288
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 6: get two teams like that with great fan bases that

289
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 6: are all short drive in Indianapolis. I mean, you know,

290
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 6: I said from the beginning, I would love for the

291
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 6: team to win the game in Nashville and to make

292
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 6: it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. So

293
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 6: if we can get there to that sweet sixteen game,

294
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 6: I'll be happy.

295
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 5: But I'm right.

296
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: If you guys are right, both of you are right,

297
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 6: You've got Tennessee on the other side of the floor. Dude,

298
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 6: you just getting there is not good enough. You want

299
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: to win that game for sure.

300
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 4: Well, it's an interesting it's an interesting draw for a

301
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: variety of reasons. I do think if you are I guess,

302
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: apparently Illinois three hours from Milwaukee either way.

303
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: Still a short drive.

304
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, still relatively short drive.

305
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: We do have a lot of but actually fans shit,

306
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: you know, yeah checking it's yeah, they're big fact checkers.

307
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: But I will say this, while all of them.

308
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 4: While we could lose in the second round, we could

309
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 4: lose to Tennessee, weeks could certainly lose to Houston. I think, Shannon,

310
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: if you were hoping to make a big run, you

311
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: got the best bracket you could I think you got

312
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: the best one seed you could get to try to

313
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: make a run, and you have a two seed that

314
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: you know very well and can clearly beat. So if

315
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: you're Kentucky and you're saying, what is the bracket that

316
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: gives me the best chance of making a miracle run

317
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: to the final four. I honestly, Shannon, think they got it.

318
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: I don't know how you couldn't be happy with the

319
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: bracket that they have.

320
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, if you places Kentucky as the three seed

321
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: anywhere else, I think I'd take what we have versus

322
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: the other options out there. So, yeah, you tell me

323
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: that you got to beat Illinois to get to the

324
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: sweet sixteen, I'm taking that all day.

325
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: I think the two seeds, yeah, there may be one

326
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: or two you'd rather play than Tennessee, But you got

327
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: the one one seed I think you have a shot

328
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: against and then who knows, maybe people have lost. Hey,

329
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: maybe UCLA beats Tennessee before they get there.

330
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: Surely happened.

331
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 4: But first we have to beat Troe eighty five nine

332
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text Machine is

333
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

334
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: We'll talk about all the ramifications of the bracket and

335
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: hopefully I can get to a place where Shannon doesn't

336
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: sound like Max Headroom. That's next right here on Kentucky

337
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. It's the best time of the year, folks,

338
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: March madness. I am here, Ryan. I think we got

339
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: the thing to work, so it doesn't sound weird in

340
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,479
Speaker 4: my ear. Now I'm here at in Bristol at ESPN.

341
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 4: I tell you, Ryan, you've been here with me before. Still,

342
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: even after I've probably been here thirty times. Still very

343
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: cool to be here, Like to walk up and down

344
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: the halls and see all the pictures of the old

345
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: ESPN people. There's a hallway you can walk down, Ryan,

346
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: that has a screen and when you walk down, you

347
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 4: can hit the school that you want to play their

348
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: fight song, and as you walk down the hall, it

349
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 4: will play the fight song. So I hit Kentucky's today

350
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 4: on my way to the cafeteria.

351
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 6: As you should. Every time you go down that little

352
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 6: tunnel hallway, you should remember that thing.

353
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very cool.

354
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: I was fastening it with it. I just kept hitting on.

355
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 6: And I do want to I do want what we're

356
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: talking about it. I do want to say something I

357
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 6: said this this weekend, I mean last week that when

358
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 6: Shannon's on stage, I feel like a proud papa.

359
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 9: Man.

360
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 6: I turned you on last night and again I felt

361
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 6: I felt myself like I was a proud papa again.

362
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: Listened to you, admir and on the bracket jokes. I

363
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: knew that was a big deal for you you're a

364
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 6: bracket nerd, and you guys really did a great job

365
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 6: on the show last night.

366
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: You know, Shannon, you may feel this way sometimes when

367
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 5: you're like performing and you feel like it's kind of

368
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: going really well.

369
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah last night, And this has happened a few times

370
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: on this show, but like this is more like being

371
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 4: with my family right on this show. Like it feels

372
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: like even with the listeners, like we're all kind of

373
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: a family.

374
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: ESPN.

375
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: It's not exactly the same because there's just it's it's

376
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: hard to describe. There's a lot more stuff going on,

377
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 4: and there's just there's a lot of it's it's a

378
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: chaos and nothing is chaos like that show last night.

379
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: And Ryan, I just for a little while felt like

380
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: I was in the zone. Yeah you were what I mean.

381
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 4: I just felt like that the brackets are coming, they're

382
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: telling me, coaches are in my ear, like the coaches

383
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: on the phone, blah blah blah, and just and it

384
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: was it was really shiton I bet it's like this

385
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 4: sometimes for you when you're performing. That it was like

386
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: I felt like, Okay, I'm hit on every cylinder here. Yeah,

387
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: and that was that I got out of it with

388
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: like a real like high. Last night, like I thought

389
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 4: it had gone really well. I got text from my

390
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: bosses who were like, man, that was great.

391
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 8: You know.

392
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: Pat Kelsey of Louisville comes on, actually makes news complaining

393
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 4: about the seed. Mark Pope comes on, The commissioner of

394
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: the bracket selection committee comes on. We kind of pepper

395
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: him a little bit about North Carolina.

396
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 6: Get a good job with him.

397
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 4: And I actually was like, man, this this is exactly this.

398
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: That's kind of a really fun thing to do in

399
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: that scenario.

400
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: I will echo what Ryan said. I listened to some

401
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: of it.

402
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: I thought thought y'all did a really good job, and

403
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: particularly the Pat Kelsey interview. You kind of set them

404
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: up there and he kind of vented a little bit about.

405
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: Being well, that's what I wanted him to do, because

406
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: I mean, to be fair, Drew Louisville got I can't

407
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: I believe Louisville got an eight seed.

408
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: I really can't.

409
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: I mean, if I'm them, you know, all metrics had

410
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: him as a five or six, I'd be very disappointed

411
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: to get an eight, and to get an eight in

412
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: the number one.

413
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: Overall seeds little bracket.

414
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 4: I mean, if little brother got a little bit screwed,

415
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 4: didn't they They did?

416
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 7: I mean it kind of proves that, as we already know,

417
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 7: the AP top twenty five does not matter except they

418
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 7: have a little number by your name on the scoreboard.

419
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 7: But I noticed in their their live reaction on the

420
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 7: selection show, Kelsey immediately with his fingers holds up eight,

421
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 7: like what an eight seed? But I you know, I

422
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 7: hate the cards and want the worst with them at

423
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 7: all times. But I couldn't believe they dropped that far.

424
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

425
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: Shit, And if you don't mind, you don't have to

426
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 4: play his whole clip, but play when I ask him,

427
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: and then what his reaction here?

428
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 5: Will you pull that up off the Twitter? Yeah? I

429
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: will play it.

430
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: In just a second, because I could tell he like

431
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 4: took a deep breath rine and thought, am I gonna

432
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: say this?

433
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 8: Yeah?

434
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 5: I think I'm just gonna.

435
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: Say it, you know, because he he was complaining about it.

436
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: H So, I mean, I I can get and U

437
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: I can get why he's upset.

438
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: Now.

439
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: When I was watching it, Ryan, I thought, when they

440
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: had b Yu as the six and there was a

441
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: long pause before the three, I was and it was

442
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 4: in Denver, Ryan, I was certain that's where we were yeah, you.

443
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 5: Know, I don't know.

444
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 4: I was so I was like, we're gonna be the

445
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: three and we're gonna play be White in the second round.

446
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 5: I was certain Ryan, that's what was gonna happen.

447
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, that storyline of Pope against his former team.

448
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 6: I thought it was coming to the exact moment. I

449
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 6: was already. I even said say, look, if we're going

450
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 6: to Denver.

451
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: Yes, all right. So here was me asking the question.

452
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: It's a little background. I get in. We have some

453
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: coaches scheduled, A couple of them cancel, and so my

454
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: producers are like, who can you get on? And I said, well,

455
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: do you want Pope? And they're like yes, And I said, well,

456
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: I mean try Pat Kelsey And he was the first

457
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: one to say yes, Shannon, which kind of shocked me,

458
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 4: to be honest with you.

459
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then here seems.

460
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: Like kind of a cool guy to say, I can't.

461
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: Seem to hate him. I want to, and I can't.

462
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 4: So here was the question. And this is like this

463
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: made news. They're playing it like on all the other shows.

464
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 4: Go ahead. I can't believe I'm saying this about my rival,

465
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: the Louisville Cardinals. I think you're under seated. You may

466
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: not want to say it, and I get it if

467
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 4: you don't, but I feel like you deserve better than

468
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: an eight seed.

469
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 5: What do you think?

470
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 9: Man? So first of all, I just want to say

471
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 9: how fortunate we are and excited we are about playing

472
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 9: in the national tournament representer school Inner City. You know,

473
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 9: I'll be completely honest with you, Like when we're watching

474
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 9: the selection show, it was like when that popped up,

475
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 9: you know, it hurt a little bit. You know, you

476
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 9: felt flighted a little bit.

477
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 5: So you can stop it right there.

478
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 4: But you rarely see coaches sort of say that Ryan

479
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 4: and then he goes and does so that was kind

480
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 4: of a cool thing to have happened.

481
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 6: They have a legitimate argument that they are way underseated,

482
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 6: especially when the committee chairman come out and told you

483
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 6: a little bit later in the show, well had to

484
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 6: give North Carolina a little credit for a strong acc. Well,

485
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 6: yet then the acc kind.

486
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: Of hurt Louisville, you know, a strong at all.

487
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: Right, So let's shandon, let's play the Mark Pope comment

488
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: from last night. So obviously a storyline, Drew is that

489
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 4: you might get cal versus Rick in round two.

490
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 5: I mean, that's kind of awesome, isn't it.

491
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 7: It's very awesome. I would love to see it. It's

492
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 7: the only scenario that has me wanting Arkansas to get

493
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 7: out of the first round. I feel like a lot

494
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 7: of people who are looking overlooking a first round matchup

495
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 7: between Calipari and Bill self. That's crazy too. They've met

496
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 7: in the Championship twice and now they're playing a first

497
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 7: round game.

498
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 5: I didn't Yeah, they've met in the champions twice.

499
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 7: You're right, and you throw in the Outrunners and you

500
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 7: have a pod of Patino, self, Caliperi and the Outrunners.

501
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 7: That's my favorite of the entire bracket off that record.

502
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: What did have been nice, Ryan if we had gotten

503
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 4: a signed to Providence too, so that in our off

504
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: game we could watch that Kansas in Arkansas and then

505
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: Rick Patino versus the Outrunners. I mean, I don't think

506
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 4: you could ask for anything better, could you know?

507
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 6: That's that's the best pod of all that right there?

508
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 6: For all those storylines are out there, and we would

509
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 6: have become huge omahall fans. I know, we all would

510
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 6: have been riding the wave of them trying to pull

511
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 6: off an upset.

512
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: Do you want Drew, you want cal to win. I'm

513
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: pulling for Kansas.

514
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: Are you I want cal vers Rick?

515
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 6: I kind of do too, I really do.

516
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: Rick sent him home?

517
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have.

518
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: Let me say, if Rick sent him home, he would explode.

519
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 5: But honestly, if cal sent.

520
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 4: Those two dudes, those two dudes dislike each other on

521
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 4: a level that.

522
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: People just don't realize.

523
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't say some of the stuff that happened,

524
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 4: but I however much you think they dislike each other,

525
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: they dislike each other more than that, and it would

526
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: be hilarious that one of would put the other one out.

527
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 5: We'll be right back Kson.

528
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 7: TJ.

529
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

530
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 7: He'll make them pay.

531
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

532
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

533
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 4: Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio. Always good to hear that music.

534
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 4: Sad to see Shannon, Greg Gumbel not there.

535
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't the same. I thought that was a

536
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: great little opening segment that they did. They're honoring him though.

537
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 4: That was really really really nice. Hey, I'm nine two

538
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: eighth twenty two eighty seven. Uh text machine is seven

539
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: seven two seven seven four five two five four one

540
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: person rights Matt, My favorite part of listening to you

541
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: on the on the show was the anger and weirdness

542
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: you felt when Carolina made it. I think that was

543
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 4: the shock Drew is Carolina making the tournament. I mean,

544
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 4: there's no metric in which they deserve to be in.

545
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: I saw every single mock draft had West Virginia in

546
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: and then they didn't make it. But Carolina making it

547
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 4: with the committee chair, there's just like, that's probably the

548
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: biggest story coming out of it.

549
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 7: Definitely, they made up these net rangs to make it

550
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 7: a little more clear of why teams are in and

551
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 7: who should be in. They put this big emphasis on

552
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 7: these quads, all you gotta win your quad one games

553
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 7: and what were they like? Yeah, I mean and then,

554
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 7: as you said, the their athletic director being the committee

555
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 7: chair makes it even more fishy that they're in.

556
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: So do you buy it? They said, Ryan, he walks

557
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 4: out of the room and had no impact. I'll believe

558
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: he walked out of the room. But you know, once

559
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: he walks out of the room, they all going to

560
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: be like, all right, we got to do our guy

561
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 4: solid right, Like he's just I'm gonna have to look

562
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: at him here in just a minute like it had

563
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 4: to have had an impact.

564
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 6: It's totally laughable for them to sit there and tell

565
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 6: you on the show last night had no effect whatsoever.

566
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 6: That's that's laughable. Of course it did. These all guys,

567
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 6: they've worked together, they've been together for three or four days.

568
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 6: They knew the situation North Carolina was in, and yet

569
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: they put them in there. And that's stat you said

570
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 6: last night in the show, where West Virginia was in

571
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: every single mock bracket just blew my mind.

572
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 4: One hundred and eleven mock bracket, Shannon, one hundred and eleven,

573
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 4: West Virginia was in every one except the one that counted.

574
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 5: That's insane.

575
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, West Virginia six quad one wins U n C

576
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: one and twelve. And not to mention that their eighty

577
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: gets one hundred thousand dollars bonus of North Carolina makes

578
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: the n Cuba.

579
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: He has to not take that right.

580
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 8: Down.

581
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's taking he is taking it, all.

582
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: Right, So let's make a bed. Is he gonna take he'll.

583
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 6: Take it absolutely, one hundred thousand dollars.

584
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 5: I think he's got to turn it down.

585
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: You cannot take a bonus for picking yourself for the tournament.

586
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: Well, we'll never know, we'll never hear, Like the story

587
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: is there, that's my public records.

588
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 5: They'll have to say yeah, but he has to not

589
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: do it.

590
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 6: But you know, like when they discussed North Carolina, he's

591
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 6: supposed to step out of the room. It doesn't mean

592
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 6: he's not in the room. During the lunch hour, they're

593
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 6: having their McDonald's and they're talking about it.

594
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 5: He goes, all right, everybody, I'm walking down slot.

595
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: No you boy, you know if you want dinner to

596
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 4: be paid for tonight anyway?

597
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 6: Insane.

598
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're hanging out at the hotel bar before the night. Yeah,

599
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 7: what they're doing all right?

600
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: So Mark Pope also was asked he was on the

601
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: show with me last night and I asked him about

602
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: the Patino cow thing. Now, what wouldn't most coaches say here, Drew,

603
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: wouldn't most coaches say.

604
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 5: I'm focused on my team. I haven't really looked at

605
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 5: the bracket. Don't you think that's what most people would say?

606
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 7: Absolutely, you usually don't even mention another team's names, unless

607
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: it's maybe the one you're playing, because hey, you just

608
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 7: want to avoid any controversy that you could say something

609
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 7: be You do want to give that coach Speaker worried

610
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 7: about us.

611
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: I couldn't believe you asking the question to begin with.

612
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 6: I mean, that was that was balls you on your

613
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 6: part to asking that question.

614
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: So I asked him the question.

615
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: Here's what he says, Mark, I know you are focused

616
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 4: on Actually scuse me, my ra, I don't care about

617
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 4: storylines yet in the West Region, there was a world

618
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 4: where Arkansas advances past Kansas and Saint John's beats Omaha

619
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 4: and John Caliperi ends up facing Rick Patino in the

620
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 4: second round.

621
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 5: What do you think about that potential? Yes, coach coach

622
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 5: p he liked that matchup, Mark.

623
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 10: So I'm not going to be this is not going

624
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 10: to be a popular take. I understand that.

625
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 8: I'm like, why can't we be in that group?

626
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 10: And then and then I just I just I just,

627
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 10: you know, like out of personal Yeah. So so I'm

628
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 10: just like, this was the ant tournament supposed to be

629
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 10: is supposed to be about all the drama.

630
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 4: So what do you think about that answer? I like

631
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 4: he wanted it, he ran, he wanted the smoke. I

632
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: loved him saying that he wanted to be part of it.

633
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: Perfect answer, because he's thinking exactly what every one of

634
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 6: us are thinking. We want to be there in that pod,

635
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 6: watch that drama unfold, that could possibly meeting each other

636
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 6: in the second round.

637
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: I just like that he doesn't shy away from Andrew,

638
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I mean, I like a

639
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: lot of coaches be like, oh, please don't put me

640
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 4: next to cal, Please don't put me next to Rick.

641
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 5: And then he actually said that that's what I would

642
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 5: have wanted.

643
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: And I actually believe him too. You know, some coaches

644
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 7: might even say something they don't believe just to you know,

645
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 7: sound good, get some clicks here and there. But I

646
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 7: think Pope really wanted to be the three there would

647
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 7: have had a fun run in with un C Wilmington

648
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 7: in the first round if we had been in that spot,

649
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 7: a team we know so well and potentially caller Rick

650
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 7: would have been crazy for him. But I think he

651
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 7: really wanted to I think he's being honest.

652
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 4: Well, we will Kentucky, by the way, places Friday at

653
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: seven o'clock. The times came out Friday at seven o'clock,

654
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: so you don't have to stay up until the middle

655
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 4: of the night like we did at the SEC Tournament

656
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 4: Friday at seven against Troy get to watch a day

657
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 4: of the tournament before having to worry about our game.

658
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: That's good, all right, who's up first, Matthew, Matthew, go ahead, Matthew.

659
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 11: Hey yourself, guys, good morning. Can you hear me?

660
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: Yes? Go for it?

661
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, sweet Two things real quick. You touched already

662
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 11: on one of my questions about whether the cheer for

663
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 11: Catalous in the first round or wait so we can.

664
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: Know what they want to cheer for. Cal I'm rock

665
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: chalking jayhawking during the game.

666
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm with you. We can't have Arkansas win a

667
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 11: single game after how things ended here. But my second thing,

668
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 11: real quick, a buddy of mine and I've been trying

669
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 11: to go to a game all year and the only

670
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 11: logistical way it could have worked out is to potentially

671
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 11: get in the Midwest region so we can go to

672
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 11: the Sweet sixteenth and make it there in Indy. But

673
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 11: he actually is from Chicago, so there's a world in

674
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 11: which you can get to Milwaukee. Would you say to

675
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 11: go to the guaranteed first hopefully second would get in

676
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 11: Milwaukee or wait.

677
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: Yeah I would go.

678
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: I mean just a to be careful, but also because

679
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: and I appreciate the call at the first and second round.

680
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: The tickets are not hard to get when if I

681
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: mean that regional Ryan, if we were to play let's

682
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 4: say Tennessee, or even if we were to play Ucla,

683
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: that regional, there'll be a lot of people there. They'll

684
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 4: be expensive tickets. That's a huge arena. You go to Milwaukee,

685
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 4: that's an NBA arena, small arena. I don't think it'll

686
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: cost a lot to get in that second round game.

687
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: If it's against Illinois or Xavier, still a big game,

688
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 4: be on a Sunday afternoon. Probably that's the one I

689
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: would say to go to.

690
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, Milwaukee. I was surprised it's only seven hours. I mean,

691
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: it's definitely.

692
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 5: Drivable, nearly as far as people think it is.

693
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 6: Same. I thought it was a lot farther than that.

694
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think there'll be a big Kentucky contingent.

695
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 6: If what we saw down in Nashville is in the indication,

696
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 6: there'll be a big contingent up there in Milwaukee.

697
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would definitely go. I was looking for our

698
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: house last night, channing, trying to find the where we're

699
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: going to stay.

700
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Drew and I a princess's bed to sleep in.

701
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

702
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I have a really good bed.

703
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say where it is. I don't

704
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: want somebody to steal it from us. But I actually

705
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 4: think we have. I just got to make sure our

706
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: budget from the iHeart people, but I think we have

707
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 4: like a nice place in the district where you can

708
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: walk to breweries.

709
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 5: I feel like you're gonna be happy. Who's up next?

710
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: Go to Andy?

711
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 8: Andy?

712
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 5: Go ahead? Andy?

713
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 8: Can you hear me?

714
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: Yes? Just assume I can hear talk.

715
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 4: Okay, keep asking me if I could hear him?

716
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 5: Go ahead.

717
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 8: I was turning my bluetooth off at work. But anyways,

718
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 8: I live in Milwaukee, so I'm definitely gonna be at

719
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 8: the game, and it's it's not a bad driver. I've

720
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 8: driven down the rep Arena probably a hundred times in

721
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 8: my life get there in seven hours. So just looking

722
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 8: at I got a couple of questions. Where are you guys?

723
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 8: Got to do the KSR show on Friday? Decided yet, So.

724
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 4: What we're probably gonna do is we're gonna be in

725
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 4: Lexington at the bar Tuesday and Wednesday, uh, Thursday, we'll

726
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: probably do it the show in our house wherever we are,

727
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 4: and then Friday. I don't know what we'll do during

728
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: the day, but we will do a pregame show somewhere

729
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee close to the arena. I don't have the

730
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 4: place yet.

731
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 8: Sounds good, But you're talking about tickets being h cheap

732
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 8: for this one. I was looking last night just for

733
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 8: the Illinois Era for the game on Friday. You're looking

734
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 8: at three hundred bucks just to get in for.

735
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 5: The night or the day, for the night, for the night.

736
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 8: That's the thing that got us in Illinois playing at

737
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 8: the same time. So that's driving off the ticket prices.

738
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: Oh, I guess that's true. Yeah, well I mean it.

739
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I didn't think about that. That will actually,

740
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: so take back what I just said, Drew. Maybe it

741
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: won't be easy to get tickets on Friday night. I

742
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: still agree with you though, that that option. I picked

743
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: that one.

744
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 8: My question is where is there Where would you suggest

745
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 8: how to find tickets? I mean for I mean, does

746
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 8: the University of Kentucky saw any at all?

747
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 5: Or here's what I would do. I would wait, I

748
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 5: appreciate the call.

749
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: All the schools, all eight schools, get like four hundred

750
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: and fifty tickets or something, almost all of them A

751
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: lot of It's like Utah State's probably not going to

752
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 4: sell all there, so then they'll the market will get

753
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: flooded with more tickets on like Tuesday. So I would say,

754
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 4: if you don't have it yet, hold off, wait till

755
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: Tuesday or so, and I think then the tickets will

756
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: come down.

757
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 5: But you make a good point.

758
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: With Kentucky and Illinois playing in the same session, it

759
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: might actually be harder to get tickets than I would

760
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: have thought. I didn't. I didn't make that connection. But

761
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 4: I would still say, like, the allotments for the schools

762
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 4: haven't even come out yet, and when that happens, there

763
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: will be there will be some schools that don't use theirs,

764
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: and they'll go back on the market. You know, there

765
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: can only be one Since October of twenty ten, the

766
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 4: place for quality smoke meats in Central Kentucky's Red State Barbecue. Ribs, chicken, pork, brisket, sausage.

767
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: They got all you like, barbecue, nacho's beer, cheese, all

768
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: mac and cheese.

769
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 5: That's all great.

770
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: Trust me, there could be only one quality smoke meat

771
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 4: since October of twenty ten. It's Red State Barbecue, your

772
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 4: trusted name in the barbecue business.

773
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 5: We'll take a break. Be right back. It's KSR.

774
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Actually they are

779
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: in yesterday. Ryan was in the system as a visitor

780
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,120

00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:35,839

00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: like I would just go uh to water Street, water

879
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 4: water Street, Charge of the water Street. Water Street is

880

Speaker 4: like a lot of really cool restaurants. It's just like

Speaker 4: just really cool people. Man.

884
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 5: Really, Now, when.

885
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 4: You're on ESPN radio, anyone that calls from Milwaukee, you

886
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: start yelling at them. When people call from Kentucky, I'm like, hey,

887
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: it's great to hear from you.

888
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: Thank you.

889
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 4: When people call from Milwaukee, you yell at them and

890
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 4: tell them they're not Milwaukee enough. Ye at me, that's

891
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 4: the issue. I don't yell at them. Beautiful art museum.

892
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: They're not going. I know these guys. I can't get

893
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: them to go to an art museum. I will go

894
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: what's the name of the arts Milwaukee Art Arts Museum. Beautiful, beautiful.

895
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 4: They will not go art museum. I would drive on

896
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 4: Lake Shore Drive. Where should I tell Mario to go?

897
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 4: Mario said he wants to go do something fun? What

898
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 4: kind of fun water Street? I mean the fun you

899
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 4: would expect water Street. Water Street is tourists fun. But

900
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 4: if you find yourself off Capital Drive, I would go

901
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 4: back to the hotel. Just just a little advice. Yeah,

902
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 4: and listen, I grew up in Milwaukee, so stay off

903
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: Capitol Drive.

904
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

905
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 4: Probably stay up Capital and Martin Luther King, I would say,

906
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: probably gps back to you hotel. Uh.

907
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: It's a great city and has a lot of culture.

908
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: It's a very vibrant city, but it can also be

909
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 4: a tough city. Uh as well. If you need church

910
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: on Sunday, I can send you there Saint Paul Church.

911
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 4: You want to go, you know, do that on Sunday morning.

912
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 4: My man's guy us going Drew to art museums in church.

913
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 4: He's like, I think he's making the itinerary for my mom.

914
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 4: My parents will want me to do that, right, that's

915
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: nice what they would tell me, beer and beer.

916
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 6: We're good.

917
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave us that, all right. So Kentucky, you

918
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: saw our little bracket. We played Troy, then either Illinois

919
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: Texas Xavior. Are we going to be playing on the

920
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: second weekend? It feels possible, right, possible? Are we going

921
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 4: to be playing on the second week Are we beating

922
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: Illinois Texas or Zavy?

923
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 5: I have you? I have you there?

924
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 4: I mean Davior's good. I will say that's a really

925
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 4: really good team. They played great over the last month

926
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 4: of the season. I think the problem with Kentucky is

927
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: Lamont Butler's available. But what does that mean, Like, that's

928
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 4: one of the one of the few teams where I

929
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 4: watched them and go the second half might have a

930
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 4: different lineup than the first half. Because injuries can happen

931
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 4: in games. So if you tell me they're fully healthy

932
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: during this stretch, they can legitimately beat everybody. But I

933
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 4: also think this is where the injuries really start to

934
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 4: wear a team.

935
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 5: You were pretty outraged at Carolina made it.

936
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 4: Everyone should be they didn't deserve it, And to me,

937
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 4: forget the bubble Cunningham thing. I just don't think they

938
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 4: look like a team that deserved to be in there.

939
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: And you have a West Virginia squad that has wins

940
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 4: over Kansas, Gonzaga, Iowa.

941
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 5: State, Louisville. They should be there.

942
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

943
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 4: I just think we got to change the process, man.

944
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 4: And I love the committee, but maybe these guys aren't

945
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: best suited.

946
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 5: Why do you love the committee? I love the idea

947
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 5: of it. Okay, I was gonna say you like, I

948
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 5: love the.

949
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 4: Idea, but I do think it's hard to be an

950
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 4: athletic director and a commissioner and watch games from around

951
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 4: the country. No, it probably is, and you know, not

952
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 4: all of them, even necessarily basketball guys. Louisville got seated eight.

953
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 4: You thought that was banned. Yeah, I think it's bad

954
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 4: for Auburn. Hindlee, right, because if you have to play

955
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 4: in Lexington, you got it. If you're Auburn and you're

956
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 4: Bruce pron You're like, I'm the number one overall seat

957
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 4: and I gotta go play them in Lexington. Potentially you

958
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 4: feel like you didn't get a good deal from the committee.

959
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 4: And if you're Pat Kelsey, you're going, why megas an

960
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 4: eight seed? Forget Kentucky. You want to be a five

961
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 4: or six, which is what they deserve. Drey, what do

962
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 4: you think about Louisville and Tennessee coming to rupp Arena.

963
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 4: I think, uh, the security situation gonna be because I

964
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 4: feel like the n CUBA needs outside security for those games.

965
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 7: Creighton will have one of the best home crowds in

966
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 7: the entire entire n CUBA tournament for that Louisville game

967
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 7: with flexing and people going.

968
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the.

969
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: Opening game of the tournament, Louisville and Creighton, the opening

970
