1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,240
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,439
Speaker 2: It is the Local Tourney Dealers KSR postgame show. Kentucky

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: loses an extremely bad home loss seventy three sixty eight.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Missouri finishes on a fifteen to two run to beat

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: the Cats in RUP and Kentucky starts oh and two

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: in the SEC for the first time ever. It's what

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm reading that's hard for me to believe, but apparently

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: it's true. First time oh and two Kentucky in the SEC.

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: You can give a shout eight five nine two eight

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: zho twenty two eighty seven. You know this was bad,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: and it was bad in a couple different ways. First,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: the first half, the offense was just so atrocious that

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: it was hard to watch, and Kentucky couldn't do much

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: of anything.

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: I thought.

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: I thought Mark Pope was fairly was honest at the

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: end of the game when he said in the half

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: court this team's offensive. He used the phrase pacing, but

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 2: I think it also could just apply to the offense

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: in general.

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: It's just brutal. It's just terrible.

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: They have almost nothing they can do to get good

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: shots in the half court, really beyond low running around

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: until something comes open and either shoots or passes beyond that,

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: if they don't get some sort of transition game to

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: get the defense thrown off, they just can't score. I mean,

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: it's running in mud hoping you get fouled. In the

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: second half, they got in transition some they were able

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: to get some pace, get some open threes, and things

30
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: were better. But I mean, this game, ultimately, the story

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: is the last four minutes. In fifteen seconds, Kentucky's up

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: by eight, Oway hits a three to put Kentucky up eight.

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: And when you're at home up eight with four minutes

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: and fifteen seconds left, I don't care who you're playing,

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: you can be playing any team the country. You need

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: to win that game. And Kentucky not only didn't win it,

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: they went from up eight to losing in three minutes,

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: and the last minute was just a comedy of heirs,

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: the turnovers. You know, I heard Mark say in the

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: post game that he thought the decision making was actually

41
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: very good, but the execution, poor man.

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand in theory why Garrison and Moreno

44
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: were in They had actually played pretty well up until

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: that point, but I don't really understand how when you

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: need buckets down to stretch you want to put their

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: hands on the ball to make the decision as to

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: where the ball goes. Neither of them have necessarily been

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: proven to be very capable passers, and they had back

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: to back turnovers on back cuts. I mean, Pope said,

51
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: we got exactly what we wanted.

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean a back cut with two with four hands

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: in between you and the guy getting the ball.

55
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: It's not crazy to think that might not work out,

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 2: and it doesn't. Otega misses a wide open layup. He's

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: actually missed a lot of layups this year, usually long,

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: usually coming from the left.

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: And he did it again.

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: And then they don't box out on a free throw.

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: Malachi Moreno, if you want to be really sick, go

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: watch that box out. He touches the guy he's boxing

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: out and then just leaves him and the ball goes

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: over his head. Oh way almost lost it on him,

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: and I kind of understand it was really a horrible

67
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: attempt at a box out. They make the free throws

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: and then I don't know what that shot was at

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: the end. I mean, I you know, Jalen, I guess

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: he hadn't take it because there wasn't but I mean

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: what I don't understand what the play is that with

72
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: nine seconds left, you call time out and you have

73
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: maybe your two bettes three point shooters on the floor,

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: Aberdeen and Williams standing next to each other.

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Go look at that they're standing next.

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: To each other, which suggested to me that either of

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: their defenders could double the other one. I guess the

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: play was for Low to drive to the basket and

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: then draw defense and kick out. But if you're Missouri,

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: why would you even stop the drive? I mean, Pope

81
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: said we wanted him to drive and then kick it

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: out to Williams. But if you're Missouri, why do you

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: even stop the drive? It's a three point lead with

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: five seconds left.

85
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: You just let him have that layout Probably so, I

86
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: don't know.

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: This has been a baffling, baffling, bafflingly terrible job by

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: Mark Pope this year. Awful, awful, just an awful coaching job.

89
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: And I say that in part because I don't think

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: you can just say the man can't coach. He's had success.

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: I thought what he did with last year's team was

92
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: very impressive. But this is a dis I mean, this

93
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: is awful. It's a disaster. I thought Mark finally sounded

94
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: like himself in the post game today. He didn't say

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: it was the first time I've heard him after one

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: of these losses not be either rude or insanely sad.

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: He actually sounded like himself for the first time, and

98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate him explaining what happened. But I don't know

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: how we got here. I mean, you go look at

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: his quotes at the beginning of the year. He's got

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: a ferrari. He can't wait, he can't wait to unleash it.

102
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, this team is offensively is almost worse defensively.

103
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: I think they've improved as the year's gone on. I

104
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: actually thought they played pretty good defense tonight for most

105
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: of the game. I mean, they held Missouri to seventy three.

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: You gotta win when they do say, I mean, you

107
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: got to win.

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: We had sixty eight points. It's a team that you.

109
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: Know, we don't have to talk about how much it costs,

110
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: but it cost a lot, and you can't get more

111
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: than sixty eight points at home.

112
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Even though we led in the.

113
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: Second half, I kind of felt like we were outplayed

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: most of the game, but we still we should have

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: won up eight with four minutes and fifteen seconds left,

116
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: you should win, And now the specter of not making

117
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: the tournament is real. You know, they are nine and six.

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: They have lots of losable games to come and not

119
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: a lot of certainly win games to come. You could

120
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: argue that in theory, easiest game is coming Saturday night,

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 2: and I don't know how confident any of us feel

122
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 2: about about it. So I'm pretty down about the team.

123
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to see. You know, last year

124
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: we lost a bunch of games in the SEC, but

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: I could see how that team could be good if things.

126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: You know, they obviously needed Butler to be healthy, and

127
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: they needed to make shots and et cetera. But there

128
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: was a way you could see them beating almost any

129
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: team in the country except Alabama. It's kind of hard

130
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: for me to see us beating anybody good right now

131
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: because we cannot score, and I don't know how that

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: gets better. And I don't know how if in the

133
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: last four minutes of the game, he still doesn't know

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: who he's playing. I mean, that's part of the thing, Billy.

135
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,559
Speaker 2: They have no I mean, I thought the play Colin

136
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: Chandler made at the end, that was a great play

137
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: but he hasn't played the whole game, and then you

138
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: put him in for the decisive play. Now, he made

139
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: a good play, but that was odd to me. Garrison

140
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: and Moreno, I mean Jaydon Quainton's the best rebounder.

141
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Quaintin's diabot that he didn't play great.

142
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: But when you have to rebound that free throw, how

143
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: are they not in, especially after you don't get the

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: first rebound? And then he goes offense for defense at

145
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: the end, puts in Aberdeen for defense when we come down,

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: he doesn't put Low in. I don't understand that. I

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: just I don't understand. Here's that's where I think it

148
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: really is. I don't think it's that he can't coach.

149
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't think that he's you know, I don't know

150
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: if he's overmatched for the job yet I'm not ready

151
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: to say is.

152
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: But here's what I think has happened.

153
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: This thing is spiraled out of control and they don't

154
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: know what to do to stop it, and they are

155
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: tense and they are panicked, and the players feel it.

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: And the players, who many of whom are casting roles

157
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: that don't showcase their strengths, are tense and panicked and

158
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: they get tight, and they don't particularly like each other,

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: and it leads to what you had tonight. Diabate, I

160
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: think essentially got benched for playing for poor performance but also.

161
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Fighting with his teammates.

162
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: I mean by arguing, not like physically fighting, but like

163
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: being kind of you know, you saw the plays, you

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: saw it happen couple times. You know he had that thing.

165
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Dame Bradshaw pointed out the two man game where he

166
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: doesn't pass Moreno the ball and then he yels at

167
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Moreno even though it was his fault. And I think

168
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: all of this is added up to a team that

169
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: just it's just not connected and the coaching staff doesn't

170
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: know what to do. And then they got some bad

171
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: breaks tonight. But you know what, you earn your breaks,

172
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: and they've earned the bad breaks so far so far

173
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: this game this year. So it's a bad performance. And

174
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna make the tournament.

175
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: I really don't.

176
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: I thought this game, this game for me, was the

177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: swing game of Okay, if we win this, I don't

178
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: know what our seating will be, etcetera.

179
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: But we'll make the tournament. I don't know.

180
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll just sit here and look at some

181
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: of these games. We have six losses already. Okay, six losses,

182
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: you're not gonna get into the tournament. We have a

183
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: pretty good sh drink the schedule, but you're not going

184
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: to get into the tournament with more than twelve in

185
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: the regular season. And we still have left at Tennessee

186
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: at Arkansas, at Auburn at a and M at undefeated,

187
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt at Florida, Florida at home, Vanderbilt at home, Tennessee

188
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: at home. I don't know, man a lot of losses

189
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: in that group. So I'm officially concerned that for only

190
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: the third time since probation, we could be staring at

191
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: missing the tournament, only the second time in a non

192
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: COVID year. And I would even go furtherest to say

193
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: the other time our best player got hurt.

194
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: This could be a pretty disastrous season if they don't

195
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: turn it around.

196
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: A five, nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven will

197
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: take your call. I want to hear what you all think.

198
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: I'm I'm pretty frustrated. You all can tell me if

199
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: you are. I get a sense, at least online that

200
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: most of you are. We'll take a break and be

201
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: right back. It's the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show.

202
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

203
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. It

204
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: is eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

205
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: The Billy. You were just saying, you looked at the schedule,

206
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it doesn't.

207
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: Look great, doesn't It looks like it could be a

208
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: long ear.

209
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: It could be if they don't if they don't improve quickly.

210
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: This was one they they almost had to have and

211
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: they didn't get it. And you know, you can always

212
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: make that up, like you could go win in Knoxville,

213
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: or you could go win you know, one of these

214
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: one of these games that we don't think it will.

215
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: But you look at the back half of that schedule

216
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: in February, like read Billy, start with at Tennessee and

217
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: just read the games coming up.

218
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: At Tennessee is January seventeenth, and then it's home versus Texas,

219
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: home versus Old Miss at Vandy at Arkansas, versus Oklahoma,

220
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 3: versus Tennessee at Florida, versus Georgia at Auburn at South Carolina,

221
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: versus Vandy at a and M versus Florida.

222
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a tough that's a

223
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: tough slab and you just you just couldn't lose this one,

224
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: but you did.

225
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. Who's up first?

226
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: Mike is up, Mike, go ahead, Mike.

227
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: Well, what's up? Man? I know, you know, I know, God,

228
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: this is crazy, but you know, we gave cal Perry

229
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: crap down in the end, and it took me a

230
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: while to get on board with him deserving it. But

231
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: come on, then, this guy, I know, I know that

232
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: you take a lot of heat and you took a

233
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: lot a forgiving cal cramp, but this guy has got

234
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 4: to go. He has no clue. I'll wlready watched the

235
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 4: Alabama game before this, just kind of because you know,

236
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm like a film wanker, and it seemed like the

237
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: game plan was to help off shooters. And that's what

238
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: Alabama's trying to do is kill you with three points shots.

239
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I love Mark Pope as a player. He's

240
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 4: great here, but man, he's not the coach. He's just not.

241
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: It's it's obvious at this point.

242
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what I mean.

243
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: I I think the second part of your of your

244
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: statement is perfectly valid. I don't know what that has

245
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: to do with the first I mean, what does that

246
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: have to do with Cow?

247
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 5: Oh?

248
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: I wasn't saying, I'm just saying like it took me

249
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: a while to get on board because col kind of had,

250
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 4: like I think he had like some forgiveness for all

251
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: the things that No.

252
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: I think he certainly did. No, No, no, for sure, for

253
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: sure he did. I mean I think you you know,

254
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: if you look at the last four or five years

255
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: of Cow, it wouldn't have been acceptable except for the

256
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: years before, right, and and pope doesn't happen exactly.

257
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: That's what I was.

258
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I will say this and again I made

259
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: this point earlier today. It's much less strong after this

260
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: game that it was before.

261
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: You know, he went to Sweet sixteen last year. This

262
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: season is good.

263
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: This season is not what happened.

264
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 5: I don't know, well, I know, I.

265
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Mean, I think he did a good job with that

266
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: team last year. I really do. I mean, I think.

267
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: I think he did a good job. I think we

268
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: lost a couple of games in the NCC we shouldn't

269
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: have lost. But I do think that he did a

270
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: pretty good job with that team.

271
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: But I think this has been a.

272
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: Totally do you not think that he just seemed completely

273
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: fricking lost this year.

274
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, this year, without question, without question, without question,

275
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: He's lost.

276
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: He's lost this year. I appreciate the call.

277
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm not ready to say he's lost

278
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: because he can't coach. He did a good job at

279
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: every job he's been at. He did a good job

280
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: last year. This is a disaster. This is terrible management

281
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: of the roster. That this was a.

282
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: This was a terribly instructed roster.

283
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: That the weaknesses, while they're much worse than I thought

284
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: they'd be, you could see it. I mean, I said

285
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: it all summer to a lot of people get mad.

286
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: I never thought they had enough shooting with that set.

287
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be as bad as they are. And you,

288
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: as a coach have to adjust. You have to adjust,

289
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: and they don't adjust. I mean, I don't know what offensively.

290
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: I do not know what they're running. I really don't.

291
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what the game if Jalen Low went out, Billy,

292
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: just think about this, What if Jalen Low did stopped playing?

293
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: Would they score fifty?

294
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: How many games would we win in the SEC? No,

295
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm being I'm not even kidding. Let's say tomorrow. Jalen

296
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Lowe announced that he had to have surgery and he

297
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: couldn't play. What would you're over under of SEC winsby

298
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: out of eighteen games.

299
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like three, three, two or three?

300
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm serious, Like that's how poorly constructed this

301
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: team is that you are. And I think Jalen Love

302
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: is very good, but he didn't have a great game

303
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: to night. I thought his shot that he took where

304
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: he got blocked when we were up six was a huge, huge.

305
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Huge bad play.

306
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: But without him we might be like historically bad for

307
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: the conference. And that's just poor roster management when you

308
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: had the resources you had to get to this point.

309
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: Who's there, Yeah, Missouri's first win ever at rupp Arena.

310
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's an interesting stat. But they've only

311
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: been in the sees. I mean we only played him

312
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: seven times, right, Yeah, so I mean it's not even

313
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: playing fifty times. But anyway, Michael is next, Michael, go ahead.

314
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 6: Michael, Well, first, thanks for taking my call. I just

315
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 6: wanted to say, within the last couple of weeks, my grandfather,

316
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: who has been a long time Kentucky fan, died at

317
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 6: the year of hundred and two years old. His name

318
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 6: is Audie Rich, and he was a World War Two veteran,

319
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 6: and I just want to thank the Lord for what

320
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: he did, and he actually taught me to be a

321
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 6: Kentucky fan. I'm sad for what the team's doing right now,

322
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 6: but you know, at the same time, we're thankful.

323
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: For the What was your grandfather's name, you said, Audie.

324
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 6: Audie Rich, he's from audio. He was screaming, Yeah, Derek.

325
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: Compy, God bless him and World War two vet Derek County,

326
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and two years old. Well, I was taught

327
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: to be a Kentucky fan by my grandfather, who was

328
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: also a World War Two vet.

329
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you you saying that absolutely.

330
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: And the second thing, you know, love Mark Pope and

331
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 6: everything so far. And what I remember from last year

332
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 6: was just the sense of enthusiasm as that he had

333
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 6: coming into the job. And it seems as a very

334
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 6: quick turnaround to now where I don't feel like the

335
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 6: enthusiasm is there any longer.

336
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Well, I felt like he was.

337
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: I felt like he was more normal tonight in the postgame. Honestly,

338
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: I mean he I thought.

339
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: He talked basketball. I thought he actually thought.

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he got a technical during the game, so

341
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: he was certainly into it.

342
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: But but I I have.

343
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: Wondered about him this year, but I did think tonight

344
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: was more at least what seemed like Mark's like. But

345
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, well, God bless you and your grandfather. I appreciate,

346
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: uh appreciate the call. He did say in the postgame,

347
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: Billy that they had simplified the offense about as much

348
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: as they could, which you know, I'm trying to interpret

349
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: what that means. I mean, these are not young.

350
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: Players, Yeah, I mean, I mean, I mean.

351
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: These are these are juniors and seniors. So like, are

352
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: are you saying your your team doesn't understand your offense? Like,

353
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: these are not young guys. We have one freshman that

354
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: plays Malcha Mareno, like everybody else has been around. Why

355
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: can't they understand? It's either when you say that, that

356
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: means you are either saying my team is not very

357
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: smart or I can't communicate to and neither of those,

358
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: I mean are a very good sign.

359
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

360
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: By the way, if you want to be depressed, watch

361
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt Alabama. It looks like they're playing a difference. I mean,

362
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: they really are. It looks like they're playing a different

363
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: sport than we play, because both these teams look pretty good.

364
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: I can't believe how good Vanderbilt is.

365
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: Who's next, Matt, Matt, go ahead.

366
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 7: Matt, Hey, Matt uh quick question. Towards the end of

367
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 7: the March students there. You know, you guys talked about

368
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 7: this a lot where he was kind of given word

369
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 7: just sort of scrambles about like, head down, work hard,

370
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 7: do this?

371
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: Do that.

372
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 7: I feel like we're getting the same kind of answers

373
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 7: from Mark Pope a little bit.

374
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: Well, there's some of that.

375
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: He did some of that tonight, but he also again

376
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: to be fair to him, but I do think at

377
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: the post game show with Tom he did talk about

378
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: some specific things. I mean, he broke down the final

379
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: plays and how he felt they went wrong. And I

380
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: certainly had felt that way up until tonight. I can't

381
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: I quite really fault him for tonight's at least post

382
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: game performance.

383
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: I can fault him for the game performance.

384
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 7: I agree with you on that. Yes, finally, for once

385
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 7: this year, we get some answers to, you know, to

386
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 7: Tom Leach and shut up Billy for doing a great job.

387
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 7: He always killed the listening to pre every day, Sorry

388
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 7: a pre show I mean, yeah, but yeah.

389
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: Appreciate How nice is that? Yeah? He I don't know.

390
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: It was interesting listening to Mark tonight, Billy, because it

391
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: also made how he's been the last few weeks so

392
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: much more bizarre, because, like he sounded like himself tonight,

393
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: it would be fascinating to go back and listen to the.

394
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: Postgame show versus in Alabama versus.

395
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: The postgame show tonight, oh, and honestly would sound like

396
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: you're listening to two completely different people.

397
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: Night and day. But one of those things he keeps

398
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: saying is you're going to be proud of this team.

399
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I hope. So, I mean, I hope.

400
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: So he sure has said that a lot, and I

401
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: mean he you know, after the Michigan State game he

402
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: said we will not fail. He said we will not break,

403
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: you know, I hope, so I don't want to. I mean,

404
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Harrison one day said this will be a great

405
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: story and I kind of laughed at that, and we

406
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: ended up in the championship game. So I hope. So,

407
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope that's what happens. I also think

408
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 2: if you keep doubling down, people are going to start saying, Amen,

409
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: what's going on?

410
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: Who's next, Elliott, Elliott, go ahead.

411
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: Elliott, Hey, Matt.

412
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 8: Just crazy to think about the turnaround from a month

413
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 8: ago after we had lost to Bandy and Louisville in football,

414
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 8: just the depression in the football side to the excitement

415
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 8: and the basketball side, and now it's clift after will

416
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 8: Stein has you know, got us pretty excited for this

417
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 8: upcoming season.

418
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: And will Stein's been in Lexington I think a grand

419
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: total of three days.

420
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Literally, like literally, he's not been in Lexington.

421
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: He was here like two or three days when he

422
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: got hired in one day for the portal and that's it.

423
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: And yet we're you know, everybody's excited about football in

424
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: this basketball I mean, this is I'm not gonna say

425
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: this is the most down. I don't think that's true,

426
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: but it's certainly the most down we've been in the

427
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: Pope era.

428
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: And it's not good. That's right, Thanks for appreciate it. Uh.

429
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what flips this around for the fans.

430
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I mean, these next two games, you're playing two of

431
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: the worst teams in the conference.

432
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: You better not lose. And then I guess, you know.

433
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: I guess when you play Tennessee, maybe that's the that's

434
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: the next but it's at Tennessee. That game on Saturday

435
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: to seventeenth, at Tennessee at noon, that'll be that'll be

436
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: a big one. But I can't say we're certainly gonna

437
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: win these games leading up to it, because you could

438
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: lose to anybody if you play like you did tonight.

439
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: Let's do one more and we'll take a break. Who's next,

440
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: path You? Okay? How are you gonna let somebody say

441
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: their name is pathy?

442
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I double checked.

443
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe this is this person's name.

444
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 9: Go ahead, path you, Matt, you see it every time

445
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 9: I call it. It's past you as the p my guy.

446
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: Anyway, man before Billy hang on before he called, before

447
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: he has Okay, I forget sometimes I forget.

448
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: I go ahead, path you.

449
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 9: That's right. I still love you, buddy. Listen, man, I've

450
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 9: seen eighty year old women show more emotion at Walgreens

451
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 9: about coupons and these kids show on the court. You know,

452
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 9: Pope came in at this offensive guru, but instead we

453
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 9: show up more bland than Greek yogurt. Something is significantly

454
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 9: wrong with you know, UK basketball right now, twenty some

455
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 9: one million dollars and this is the product of a

456
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 9: get Even hearing Goose talk to Malachi after the game,

457
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 9: Goose tried to baby him when Malachi took responsibility. No,

458
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 9: I want these kids to take some accountability. You know,

459
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 9: they're making more money than I am this year, so

460
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 9: you know it's a job. I want them to be accountable.

461
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 9: You know, earlier today you said this was a make

462
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 9: or break game, and right now we're broken. We're not

463
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 9: going to make the tournament and we need to reevaluate

464
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 9: our head coach position at the end of the year. Uh.

465
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 9: From what I understand, Pope has a worse record than

466
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 9: Billy Clyde through this point in this Kentucky career, and

467
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 9: we're not the gold right over the living Stock.

468
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.

469
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: I think those are all reasonable points, and I'm with

470
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: you on a secondary note about Greek yogurt. I've never

471
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: understood Billy white people like it. I think it has

472
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: no taste at all. Why do people like it?

473
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 3: Uh, Well, there's protein.

474
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 2: I like yogurt a lot, but I've never understood the

475
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 2: Greek yogurt thing.

476
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: But to your point.

477
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: About having not a lot of emotion, I feel like

478
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 2: they have emotion, but it's it seems more anger than

479
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: it does, you know, than it does excitement. And I

480
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: have to say, I mean, I don't want to put

481
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: it too much on Oway because I actually think Owa

482
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: played pretty well most of the night. I actually think

483
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: he played really well most to night. He can't miss

484
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: that layup, though, I mean, you're here to be the

485
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: the guy and you get a wide open layup he

486
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: has missed. I would be fascinated somebody who does advanced stats.

487
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: I feel like, anecdotedly he has missed six or seven

488
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: wide open layups on the left hand side this year

489
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: on drives. Maybe somebody can look that up. I don't

490
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: know if there is a way too, but that shot

491
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: he missed. I feel like I've seen him miss it

492
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: that way multiple times this year, not going on the right,

493
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: but on the left.

494
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: And he did it there again.

495
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: A five, nine, two, eight, oh, twenty two eighty seven.

496
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: Let's take a break and we'll be right back. This

497
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show.

498
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

499
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: It is a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Vandy

500
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: leads Alabama sixty nine to sixty one. Vandy is fourteen

501
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: to oh that is amazing. Now they have I mean,

502
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: they haven't played the hardest schedule, but if you beat Alabama,

503
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: that's impressive.

504
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: And we have to play them twice, so I'm excited.

505
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: There's nine minutes left in that game, surpassing Kentucky's point

506
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: total from tonight already.

507
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: That's true. Good point.

508
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's say five, nine, two, eight oh twenty

509
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: two eighty seven one person rights, Matt, do you think

510
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: that Pope is playing the right guys?

511
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand Acquaintance wasn't end at the end.

512
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think Quaintan's played great tonight, but I

513
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: also agree with you he should have been in at

514
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: the end.

515
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: I also think he has no idea who to play.

516
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he knows he needs Low and

517
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: o Way, but I think besides that, he really has

518
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: no idea who he wants.

519
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: On the court in these situations.

520
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: And that's why you end up with the situation where

521
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: against Alabama, in the key moments of the game, he

522
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: was literally playing three different guys than he was in

523
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: this game, right, So against Alabama and the key points

524
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: of the game, he was playing Aberdeen, Quaintance and Diabatee

525
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: and then in this game, it was Cam Williams, Moreno

526
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: and Garrison. I don't think he knows. I don't think

527
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: he has any idea who to play. Yoovich doesn't even

528
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 2: see the floor. Noah doesn't see the floor. Jasper Johnson

529
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: doesn't see the floor. So I think it would be

530
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: interesting to see how much money did we spend on

531
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: those three guys A billy that don't even get in.

532
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: Well Jazzper specifically, right, I mean.

533
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: Any of them, I mean all three of those guys.

534
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's certainly a few million dollars. You know,

535
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: we we we And I say we because I did

536
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: too praise the depth on this team. I have for

537
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: years had the opinion that depth is overrated.

538
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

539
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: I think the injuries last year let me talk myself

540
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 2: out of that, and it probably talked Pope out.

541
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: Of it too.

542
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: You do, you don't need twelve guys because we have

543
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: three of them not playing. But the thing is, I

544
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: think what's more important is that Pope doesn't even know

545
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: what five guys he wants to play. Really, he doesn't

546
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: know who he wants to play outside of two guys,

547
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: and that's that's kind.

548
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: Of a problem.

549
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: Who's next we got another.

550
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: Michael, Michael, go ahead, Michael, Hello, Yes.

551
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 4: Hey, sorry.

552
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 10: Uh So I'm gonna be on more of the hopeful

553
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 10: side and say I don't think Hope needs to leave.

554
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 10: I think that he learned a lot from last season

555
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 10: got us to Sweet sixteen.

556
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 11: This season, he's just he's running through some reugh edges.

557
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 11: He'll figure it out and hopefully we'll get somewhere we

558
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 11: need to be towards the end of the season.

559
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 9: I do think.

560
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 11: Something's going on with our point guard situation when Lowe's

561
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 11: only got to assist. Aberdeen should have been sitting down

562
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 11: a long time ago. Within the first five minutes of

563
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 11: the game. I was there with my buddy Brock. I'm like,

564
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 11: Aberdeen should be sitting he should not be out on

565
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 11: the floor at all. And then also as far as

566
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 11: like they're you know, lifting them up, pull out some

567
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 11: remember the Titans or Coach Carter, Like, what about those movies?

568
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: These kids, these kids weren't born when those movies came out.

569
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 11: Well, I'm just saying this might be a time force

570
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 11: to remember these movies. They got to understand you gotta

571
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 11: have a little bit of you know, Mojo out there

572
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 11: has got to a it's not just like a motion.

573
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 11: I mean you got people just standing in corners, not moving.

574
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 11: Like you said earlier, we had a few minutes of

575
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 11: where they were screening, setting setting up plays where they're

576
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 11: going down and passing out. But a few minutes when

577
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 11: you're playing horrible the first half can't get us back,

578
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 11: and then like you said again, four and a half minutes,

579
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 11: we should have lost the game. I mean I watched it.

580
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 11: It's it's just chilly Otaga missed that layup. And then

581
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 11: I also ate, just for shiggles, I looked up on

582
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 11: Chad GPT. Otaga is shooting roughly around seventy two, making

583
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 11: his shots for the season. That's what Tad Gpt says.

584
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 4: Now you know that.

585
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate the coming. He's not shooting seventy the field.

586
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: That would be a record.

587
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: They'd have a better record too.

588
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: If he was shooting seventy. He all right, I'm looking

589
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: right now. First of all, you don't need to do

590
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: chat GPT. You can just go to ESPN or UK Athletics.

591
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: He's shooting forty six percent from the field, not closed,

592
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 2: not seventy.

593
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: He said he was going to be optimistic, so yeah, I.

594
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: Think when people say the sentence I looked at chat GBT,

595
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: I should just chart turt like just right there.

596
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: That's the end. That's the end for me of listening

597
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: to what they say. What's next? The V go ahead

598
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: v II.

599
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 12: Matt, thanks for taking my call. I'm uh, I'm gonna

600
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 12: be honest, I'm just sitting here frustrated after watching that

601
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 12: product that was just put on television, tire. I'm just

602
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 12: sitting here wondering how much money do we have to

603
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 12: pay to have someone box out on the free throw

604
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 12: or give it a little bit?

605
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the box out, the box out there,

606
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: I mean it was Moreno. I mean and I actually

607
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: think Moreno played pretty well most of the game, but

608
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: Moreno had Moreno had a couple of really costly errors

609
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: there at the end. I mean, yeah, he had two

610
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: turnovers down the stretch, and I consider the miss free

611
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: throw bo box out three. I think that's three turnovers

612
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: in four and a half minutes. And he played really

613
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: well up until that point, but that was that was

614
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: a really bad four minutes and fifteen seconds for him.

615
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, and we had Garrison on the floor and he

616
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 12: was at least giving some effort compared to the rest

617
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 12: of the team. But I thought it was at least

618
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 12: good to see that Mark Pope at least showed some

619
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 12: little bit of fire and you know, started yelling at

620
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 12: the reps. Maybe we'd have Pope have a legacy game

621
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 12: and get kicked out. Maybe that'll get the team, you know,

622
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 12: fire it up on their well.

623
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like that half court shot could

624
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: have been the game that. I mean, that's half courts,

625
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: three fourths of a court. That that shot could have

626
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: been the thing that turned it around, and then it didn't.

627
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting and I appreciate the call. I

628
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: think about these last two nights. If you go back

629
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: and look at the Kansas TCU game in the Yukon

630
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: Providence game tonight, those are two legacy programs with Hall

631
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: of Fame head coaches that both were dead to the water,

632
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: had no chance of winning the game they were playing.

633
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: I think Kansas was like, what up down eight with

634
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: seventy seconds left, and then Yukon was down eleven with

635
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: three minutes left on the road, and they both found

636
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: a way to come back and win. And we, as

637
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: a legacy program, are up eight with four minutes to

638
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: go at home and lose, and it's just striking to me.

639
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes when I watch I feel like Kansas

640
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: when they're at home, Duke, I just feel like even Billy,

641
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: when they're down with a few minutes to go, I'm like,

642
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna find a way to win this game, right

643
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: I just always feel that way. I don't feel that

644
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 2: way about us right now. And maybe that's part of

645
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: what we've lost here, is this idea of when Kansas

646
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: is in Lawrence, they are winning. I almost don't care

647
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: what the score is, They're gonna win. And I don't

648
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: feel that way about us anymore at home, and that's disappointing.

649
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: Who's next, Jordan, Jordan, go ahead, Jordan's.

650
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 13: Hey man, you know tonight it's uh, it's been weird

651
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 13: because I feel like, you know, the first first year

652
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 13: of Mark Coope, we you know, everybody was totally willing

653
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 13: to give them grace, and we actually had a good season.

654
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 13: I feel like anybody who's reasonable thought that, you know,

655
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 13: everybody liked that team. But now you look at look

656
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 13: at this and it feels like a comedy of errors

657
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 13: and nobody's really laughing anymore. And it's it's tough because

658
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 13: it feels like we're not about to get to our

659
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 13: biggest recruits that we're supposed to get this next season.

660
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 13: And I don't really know what to feel anymore.

661
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think that is something too. I think that's

662
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: something that that.

663
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: Is part of it is uh uh you know, is

664
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: that feeling you're having, which is that well, we're not

665
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: even you know, we're not even gonna get the get

666
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: the recruits next year too. That I think that's part

667
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: of it, right.

668
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's uh, you know, it's it's it's you know,

669
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 13: being being down already and then not feeling like it's

670
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 13: going to get better. You know, there's yeah, you know

671
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 13: what bad things happen, players get hurt. It's uh, you know,

672
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 13: you have a tough season or whatever it is. And

673
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 13: but you know there's a short least here and uh

674
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 13: it's I don't know, it's tough. Uh yeah, and no,

675
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 13: I agree, getting hard to watch. But you guys have

676
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 13: a good night.

677
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

678
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here looking billy, and I mean, it's a

679
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: little thing, okay, and I I don't want to read

680
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: too much into it, but I do think it's worth noting.

681
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: You know, fans. It's it's eleven ten at nine. We

682
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 2: got thousands of people listening to this Pete fans who care?

683
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: I get it. Somebody just sent me one of the

684
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: player's stories. I'm not even gonna say which one it was,

685
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: but one of the players stories On Instagram. They're just

686
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 2: reposting their highlights from the game, like all the good

687
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: stuff they did, like three different three straight, like highlight clips.

688
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 3: Of good after a bad loss, like that after.

689
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: A bad loss.

690
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I you know, I don't know, man, we

691
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: just lost two hours ago, and.

692
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: You know.

693
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: You're posting highlights of your good plays like yeah, I don't.

694
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: You know.

695
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: I understand, Like these dudes have lives, et cetera. But

696
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 2: I it's just, you know, does it matter.

697
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: To you or not?

698
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 3: If it did, you wouldn't be reacting Like.

699
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 2: If it did, I don't think you'd be doing that.

700
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I let's just say, like what I mean,

701
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: there's not an equivalent. But you know, if I was

702
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: if well, there's no equivalent in what I do. But

703
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: if you lose, especially if you lose in a disappointing way,

704
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't think right after it's over, you talk about

705
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: how good you did right, and so yeah, that's frustrating.

706
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: One more and we'll take a break.

707
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 3: Who's next will be interesting to see if this locker

708
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: room holds together throughout the year. I mean that's a

709
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 3: real question. Tim is up next?

710
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: Tim? Go ahead, Tim?

711
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: What's up?

00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 14: Fella's Happy New Year to you both. Happy new Year

00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,479

Speaker 4: Dude, he got this. Thank you and Billy, Billy, you

Speaker 14: Dude, Shamon the dude needs to watch it because you're coming.

718
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 15: Let's go.

719
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 14: But hey, I want to ask you a question, mister Matt.

720
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 14: How many cruise we got signed for next year?

721
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 5: Uh?

722
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: At this moment, we have zero?

723
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 14: All right, Okay, that's that's what I thought. I just

724
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 14: want to double check, all right. So coaching, So recruiting

725
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 14: not good. Okay, we're gonna put check mark not a

726
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 14: right coaching. So so he puts he puts Chandler in

727
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 14: at the end of in the in the last five

728
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 14: minutes to play defense. And then the last play of

729
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 14: the game, we need a three and he's on the bench,

730
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 14: so that that's true.

731
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: And then also you got you guys put him in

732
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: for defense and not to shoot. Yeah, that is true.

733
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 14: Yes, that that happens.

734
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: That happens.

735
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 14: You got that. So we're we're gonna put it. We're

736
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 14: gonna go. He did make a great play. Shout out

737
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 14: to my man Hey and Mormons forever. Hey, but he

738
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 14: put a check mark. You know from the coaching. We're

739
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 14: not doing some good over there either. All right, so

740
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 14: let's go a management here. We gave him twenty two

741
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 14: million dollars, said, hey, dude, here's the Lamborghini. You go

742
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 14: find the fastest feed way you can. And he put

743
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 14: us on a Kentucky Owensboro, Kentucky mountain top. That's where

744
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 14: he put us. And you're like, okay, so you don't

745
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 14: really know how to drive Lamborghini, all right, Okay, so

746
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 14: you're not good at that. So that's all things. He's

747
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 14: a rising star is when I'm getting at right, But

748
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 14: this is Kentucky.

749
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I don't know how rising.

750
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be real, he's five years, he's in

751
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: his fifties, so like, I mean, there's only so much

752
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 2: rising that you can do. You know, this is his

753
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 2: in his career, in his like he's in prime time.

754
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: This is his prime time forty When you look at

755
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: college coaches forty five to sixty, that's like the prime

756
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: time and he's in it. And so yeah, I think

757
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: your point, I appreciate the call is completely valid. This

758
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 2: is a failure so far, it's not over. But this

759
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: is a failure of a performance. The GM part of

760
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: the job. He didn't hire a gym, so he gets

761
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: blamed for it. He should have one because he clearly

762
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: is not doing well at it. The roster management, poor

763
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: game prep, poor game execution, poor offensive execution, poor defense. Okay,

764
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: that's it. I mean what else can you say? I

765
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: mean there are multiple parts of this job. Motivation poor,

766
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, keeping the team focused, you know, he said

767
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 2: after the game, Literally think about this billy, during the

768
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: exact moments that Mark was I bet if you look

769
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: at the minute, it's almost the exact minute, during the

770
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 2: exact minutes that Mark is on with Tom Leach saying,

771
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: this team will not be broken, This team is resilient,

772
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: we will not break. One of the players is posting

773
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: his highlights.

774
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:53,280

Speaker 2: was right, and then I just looked at it. So

783
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: I just said, we have one player, uh, posting highlights.

784

828
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: They do need to keep it on the tracks. I

829
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: mean they could, they're they I mean this could get bad.

830
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 15: Uh.

831
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 2: I think if you don't want it to get bad.

832
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 2: You do have a couple of games to get it back.

833
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you know, you're not playing You're playing

834
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: Mississippi State at home Saturday night at night. That's a

835
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: game you can easily win. But you got to go

836
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: and do it. Yeah, I can't. I can't get over there.

837
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: People now are sending me, I can't get over this

838
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: like I you know, I'm not. I'm somebody who has

839
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: completely embraced the new, the new uh uh, the new

840
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: world of college basketball. I get it. It's not going

841
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: to change. I think it's a lot more like it

842
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: should be than it probably was before in terms of

843
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 2: people getting their worth. With that said, like the callers

844
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 2: said earlier, you are now a professional. You are going

845
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 2: to be treated as a professional. And I want you

846
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: to imagine if after, you know, in the NBA playoffs,

847
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: a guy loses a game in the NBA, if they

848
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: immediately during the postgame interview we're selling hats like they

849
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 2: they people would criticize them that for that, right. Uh,

850
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: you know, there's a level of I believe these dudes

851
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: deserve what they get. At the same time, with the

852
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: that comes some of the excuses I've given for people

853
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: over the years. Well, they're kids, true, but now you've

854
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: got to grow up quicker, right. You know, when you

855
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: were kids and you were playing for free, I give

856
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: you a lot more grace than when you're making You know.

857
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's part of it. It's it's part of responsibility.

858
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 2: And I cannot get over that that was done after

859
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: a home loss the way it was, let's do we'll

860
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: do four more and.

861
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: Call it a night. Who's next?

862
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 3: Kwood?

863
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: K would go ahead? K would? K would all right?

864
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: Who's next?

865
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: Jen May?

866
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: Jen May? Hello?

867
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 5: Hey, Hello, what's going on?

868
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: Hey?

869
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 18: I'm going to keep this called positive. It was a

870
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 18: bad game. I don't know, it was a great game,

871
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 18: but like I thought, oh he should have thought it.

872
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 18: Probably four points and three? Is that not an out

873
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 18: of the line when they go past the three point?

874
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: Are you asking if there are four pointers?

875
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 18: Yeah?

876
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: No, there are no four pointers. I wouldn't.

877
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: If there was, that would probably count. But you know,

878
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: in the old MTV Rocking Jock games there would have

879
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: been ten pointers, so maybe we could have used that.

880
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 18: Also, I feel like Shannon the Dude sounds a lot

881
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 18: like the commentator of the night.

882
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 15: The Bradshaw, Oh, Bradshaw.

883
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I've had people have said that before.

884
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call people have said that that that

885
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: that they that they do sound like that that they

886
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 2: do sound like I can see it.

887
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: Actually, who's up.

888
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 3: Next, Jared?

889
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: Jared go ahead?

890
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 2: Jared Vanderbilt up nine with four minutes ago, Jared, go ahead.

891
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 13: Hey man, So I'm kind of just in the same

892
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 13: mindset of a lot of the callers that you've had

893
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 13: to with. Just I don't see hope for Mark Pope

894
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 13: to turn this around, you know, because the lines he

895
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 13: keeps giving us on his radio show is well, this

896
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 13: team will be good eventually. They just haven't yet. You know,

897
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 13: we're gonna make you proud. We just haven't done it better.

898
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: We will, Yeah, they better.

899
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: I don't love that answer, but that's what he's saying.

900
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: But you know what if it reminds me of cal

901
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: used to say. He said a couple of years like,

902
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: wait till March, and you might remember then we would

903
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: lose in March and he'd say, well, we had a

904
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: great regular season, And I said, you can't both tell

905
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 2: us it will be great in March and then also

906
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 2: tell us.

907
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: About the regular like something's gotta matter, you know what

908
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean.

909
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna say we're gonna be better at

910
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: the end of the year, well we better be better

911
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: at the end.

912
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: Of the year.

913
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 13: And I agree. And so with that, if this does

914
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 13: end with the disaster that it is right now, and

915
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 13: we you know, don't have any recruits right now, how

916
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 13: likely is it that we go for someone like Tommy

917
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 13: Lloyd or Nato it's by the end of the season.

918
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we're.

919
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 2: Not gonna I mean, that's not likely. I appreciate the call.

920
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's not as bad as his other ones,

921
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: but I think Billy, just for knowledge sake, Mark Popez

922
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: like a twenty five million.

923
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: Something three or twenty. I mean, it's a lot.

924
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 2: It's not what it what some of these other ones

925
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: have been, but it's it's not nothing, especially when you're

926
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: still when you're gonna be playing Mark Stoops's so but yeah,

927
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: you know, he said, well.

928
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: Three more, who's next?

929
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: Michael is up next?

930
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: Michael? Go ahead, Michael.

931
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 5: I think I'm now the third Michael. But this is

932
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 5: the one that is in Little Rock and I just

933
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 5: watched you know, oh miss almost come back and they're

934
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 5: now nine and six with us, and I think we

935
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 5: would have been beat by twenty if we played Ole Miss.

936
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 5: I felt like I was watching my son's freshman basketball

937
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 5: game tonight. They're intelligence. Basketball intelligence is not there. We

938
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 5: had a very intelligent team last year. We just did

939
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 5: have athletic you know people last year.

940
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: Correct. I agree?

941
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 5: How How does how do you think you feel in

942
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: the rest of the fam base fields because we're on

943
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 5: that same path as the nine and sixteen season. Yeah,

944
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 5: I know we only played twenty five games that year,

945
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 5: but we're going to be playing more than that. But

946
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 5: a percentage wise, we're going to probably be at that

947
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 5: or worse, like fifty six percent. We won fifty six percent,

948
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 5: you know, and no.

949
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: Nine when we were not sixteen. When we were nine

950
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: and sixteen, we won less than fifty fifty percent.

951
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 5: I'm with you, Matt, though. Here's the thing. When they

952
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 5: weren't getting paid their kids, they're young. I get it.

953
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 5: This is something that they want to do for the

954
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 5: rest of their life. They want to go to the NBA,

955
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 5: they want to make money. So here's the thing. Put

956
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 5: the pants on, grow up and play the game like

957
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 5: you know how you are supposed to play the game

958
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 5: and accept criticism because your job is to play basketball

959
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 5: and do well at it. And if you can't listen

960
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 5: and execute, then you don't need to be playing in

961
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 5: the NBA.

962
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: I agree, you appreciate the call. Appreciate the call. Let

963
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: me give you an amazing stat. Okay, I just thought

964
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 2: of this while he was talking. I want you to

965
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: think about this, Billy. I'm going to count the amount

966
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 2: of players that I am one hundred percent sure are

967
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 2: making an amount of money that's.

968
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: Going to surprise you. Okay, Okay, I'm just.

969
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: In my mind one, two, three, four, five, at least five,

970
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: potentially seven, but I'm certain of five guys on the team,

971
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: but it might be as high as seven making more

972
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 2: money this year than Ellie Dela Cruz.

973
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, really.

974
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. In the twenty twenty five twenty six.

975
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 2: Basketball season, there are five, maybe up to seven players

976
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: on the Kentucky basketball team making more money than Ellie

977
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: Dela Cruz. Now why do I say that? Do I

978
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: say that because that means they shouldn't get the money.

979
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: Ellie's vastly underpaid. That's the way baseball works.

980
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: But the reason I say that is the young excuse

981
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 2: and all that, like it kind of doesn't work when

982
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 2: you're making that kind of money. You know, there's a guy,

983
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: I think the number one pick in the draft a

984
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: year or two ago. Was his name, Reesa se or

985
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: something like that place for Atlanta. I was listening to

986
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons talking about him, and they were talking about how, yeah,

987
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 2: he's twenty years old, but and then they just were

988
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 2: criticizing him. We got three or four guys Billy on

989
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: the five guys on the team older than Risha shek right,

990
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: So you know this is part of it that, this

991
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: is part of what it is.

992
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: Now.

993
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: You got seven guys making more than Ellie, and we

994
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 2: got probably five guys on the team that are older

995
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 2: than the number one draft pick two years ago. This

996
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: is this is what comes with it.

997
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: Two more. Who's Who's next?

998
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 3: Is the guy selling hats the one one of them

999
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 3: making more than Ellen?

1000
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm not people got to find that on their own.

1001
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm not getting involved. Who's next?

1002
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 3: You can't find it?

1003
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, maybe they're not that many players. Go ahead, Yeah,

1004
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 2: maybe it got it might have gotten taken down hopefully,

1005
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 2: but go ahead.

1006
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 3: Thomas is up now, Thomas, go ahead, Thomas.

1007
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 15: So my wife says, Look, if I have to watch

1008
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 15: this crap, will you watch every sec lost with against

1009
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 15: a Hallmark movie loss?

1010
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, that's brutal. That's brutal.

1011
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 15: I know.

1012
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: That's brutal. But you know what she does.

1013
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's a fair trade by her,

1014
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: because it's not like we're just so you're saying, for

1015
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 2: every time Kentucky loses, you have to watch a Hallmark movie.

1016
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I would have.

1017
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 15: At the beginning of the year, I said yes, But

1018
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 15: now it's.

1019
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 1: Like, tell your wife.

1020
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 2: I think she has to enforce that, and that's gonna

1021
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: make you rude extra hard because those movies are bad.

1022
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 2: A lot of them are filmed however, in Lagrange, Kentucky,

1023
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 2: but nevertheless they are bad.

1024
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well, good luck, sir. I'm sorry. I do

1025
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: like that.

1026
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 15: I'm toast. I am toast.

1027
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: See if you can get her to watch Traders, Billy.

1028
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. The new season I think starts

1029
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 2: what tomorrow and people tell me that's a great show.

1030
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: That's my new It's like a it's like a reality show.

1031
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 2: Have you heard about it.

1032
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 3: I've heard about it.

1033
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 1: I never not watched it, but.

1034
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 2: People say I would love it, and I think season

1035
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: three starts. I'm gonna go start with season one, but

1036
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: I think season three like starts tomorrow or something.

1037
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 3: Who's next our final caller, Kevin?

1038
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 16: Kevin, go ahead, Kevin, Hey, Matt, everybody's bashing Pope tonight.

1039
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 16: My thought, We know Pope?

1040
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 13: Is that a success.

1041
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 16: Everywhere he's been.

1042
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 5: We know what he did last year.

1043
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 16: He's got a tremendous support staff of coaches, Mark Fox,

1044
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 16: Alvin Brooks, Cody Figure. You can't tell me those guys

1045
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 16: are not coaching him well, that they're missing things, that

1046
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 16: there's things, they've tried everything.

1047
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 13: I mean, what would you?

1048
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't disagree with anything you said, but

1049
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: what would you say? Then?

1050
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: If I am to.

1051
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: Agree with you, which I generally do, that Mark's a

1052
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 2: very good coach. He does have a great staff. He

1053
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: had every resource in building this team. And it's Kentucky.

1054
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: How do you explain it?

1055
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 16: Then it's got to be team dynamics, attitude issues, chemistry, But.

1056
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 1: All that's on him. You do hang on, you don't

1057
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: get I do not do this with coaches.

1058
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 2: Like when Cow would win, people would go, well, it's

1059
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 2: the players, and then they'd lose it be his fault,

1060
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: and I'm like, that's not it's either the coaches of

1061
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 2: the players or it's both. He does not get the

1062
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: credit for last year being good if he also doesn't

1063
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 2: get the blame for this year being bad.

1064
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1065
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 2: Like, why can't we just say, well, last year, Jackson, Lemont,

1066
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 2: Kobe Brea, those dudes were special. Why why does he

1067
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 2: Mark get the credit for last year but not the

1068
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 2: blame this year.

1069
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 16: I just think there's some groups of guys that meshed

1070
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 16: last year did and this guy this well he picked

1071
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 16: obviously doesn't.

1072
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: But he picked them. Yeah, I mean they didn't grow

1073
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: on train well.

1074
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: I mean that's part of what you have to do.

1075
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean, here's what I would say to you. Let's

1076
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 2: look at NATO's. Okay, Natoates has got a completely different team.

1077
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 1: Than he had last year.

1078
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 2: And last year's team went to the Final four, and

1079
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: even though this year they're losing right now to Vandy,

1080
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: he still got this team really good. Like, don't you

1081
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 2: think great coaches in the portal era have to make

1082
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 2: teams mesh.

1083
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: That's part of what they have to do.

1084
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 15: They do.

1085
