Speaker 3: It is Wingsday here at the KS Bar and Grill,
Speaker 3: the day before the start of the best four days
Speaker 3: of basketball, maybe the best four days of sports all year.
Speaker 3: You can give a shout Clark's pumpin chop full line
Speaker 3: eight five nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven. A
Speaker 3: vision Auto glass text machine is seven seven two four
Speaker 3: five two five four in this disan sponsored by the TJ.
Speaker 3: Smith Lovas you called TJ. He'll make them pay. We
Speaker 3: are here this morning dollar wings all day. Uh. Somebody
Speaker 3: said sent to me yesterday and said, Matt, why don't
Speaker 3: you do that throughout the tournament? And I said, because
Speaker 3: that would be stupid, because that would be that's when
Speaker 3: we actually need to have people, you know, spend real money.
Speaker 3: But on Wingsday you can get it. Uh. We got
Speaker 3: some folks here this morning. This guy uh grew up
Speaker 3: in Lexton, now he lives in California. We got some
Speaker 3: people here from Columbus. We got my Michael's sitting over there.
Speaker 3: It's an exciting.
Speaker 4: Morning, and it all tipped off last night. Man, at
Speaker 4: that time of year, we all get excited don't go
Speaker 4: to work and Wulston, why not come here?
Speaker 3: You don't go to work any day?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm working really hard at the moment. This is
Speaker 4: my hard working job at the moment.
Speaker 3: I bet we'll find that you didn't work. Last night,
Speaker 3: we were getting in the car at one o'clock and
Speaker 3: we are leaving Drew for Milwaukee. You know, I was
Speaker 3: sitting there thinking, Okay, do I know someone that lives
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee? And I was like, you know, my arm's
Speaker 3: from Milwaukee, but otherwise I don't think I know anyone
Speaker 3: that lives in Milwaukee. And then it occurred to me
Speaker 3: when I got a text message last night that every
Speaker 3: single one of my bosses at ESPN lives in Milwaukee.
Speaker 3: And the ESPN Milwaukee actually kind of runs ESPN Radio now,
Speaker 3: and so we actually now know a lot of people
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee. It's classic Mario. By the way, how nice
Speaker 3: Mario is that I take him up there? I go
Speaker 3: to my boss's house at ESPN Milwaukee. Right. It's an
Speaker 3: amazing house. We talked about it. The Milwaukee Bucks floor
Speaker 3: is in his house. Yeah, not in the garage, in
Speaker 3: the house. It's crazy. He like lives up on the lake,
Speaker 3: et cetera. And it occurred to me that I don't
Speaker 3: have anyone that works their's phone number. But one of
Speaker 3: the guys texted me last night and he goes, so
Speaker 3: I've been texting with Mario. Mario got my bosses at
Speaker 3: ESPN's phone number, and somehow I didn't, which just tells
Speaker 3: you how Mario.
Speaker 5: Doesn't shock me. He's a people person. I'm sure he
Speaker 5: was there doing a little networking on the side.
Speaker 3: He's just over there just grabbing phone numbers. And I
Speaker 3: have no way of even getting in touch with these people.
Speaker 3: So we'll go through Mario to go see. I think
Speaker 3: Mario is the connection.
Speaker 4: I think someday Mario is going to be our bosses,
Speaker 4: our boss. He'll be our everybody's boss.
Speaker 3: You think, yeah, well, he will not be mine, but
Speaker 3: he could be yours.
Speaker 4: He may own ESPN at some point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does well. He certainly has all their phone
Speaker 3: numbers to start. But we leave today. It's about a
Speaker 3: seven hour drive. They say, go up through Chicago. It's
Speaker 3: light work for us. Oh dude, that's nothing. We've driven
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen hours, seven hours, will be there late tonight
Speaker 3: and then do the show there tomorrow and then go
Speaker 3: I'm excited. You know Thursday and Saturday, Saturday, we will
Speaker 3: have nothing to do. I was trying to think, when's
Speaker 3: the last when's the last Saturday I've had nothing to do?
Speaker 3: It probably goes back to August and we will get
Speaker 3: that Saturday, which I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, in our car will have our assigned
Speaker 4: seats that we keep throughout the entire trip. You drive
Speaker 4: the whole way. We pee when you pee, we eat when.
Speaker 3: We say that. You say that every single time. That's true.
Speaker 4: I got to make sure we pee before we leave
Speaker 4: because we will see a couple of hours.
Speaker 3: At some point. It would be it would be nice
Speaker 3: if you recognized how old you are. You could say,
Speaker 3: we use the bathroom when you use the bathroom. Like you.
Speaker 3: He's just always so graphic and childish every single time.
Speaker 5: That's already a square on my road trip. Bingo card
Speaker 5: Ryan making that comment. I'll check that one off. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm excited, though, I got it packed this morning. I
Speaker 5: got to Chaos Barton nine. There's my suitcase.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to rock. You're ready to go. You already
Speaker 3: already packed. We had a breakfast next door. That means
Speaker 3: you may you're not packed. Listen, you're never waiting on me.
Speaker 3: This is always the same thing. Here's a shock. Would
Speaker 3: you like to guess who were always waiting on Ryan?
Speaker 3: It's always like, you're never waiting on me. Well, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be fine. Even today.
Speaker 4: You gotta wait on me a little bit. I gotta
Speaker 4: run back and let my dogs out.
Speaker 3: My dogs. Son's got like it's it's always something. It's
Speaker 3: always some drama. So you're gonna pee when your dog's pee, definitely,
Speaker 3: just get in your car and go. He's the old
Speaker 3: man that we always have to wait on.
Speaker 5: Well, what's Mark Stoop's old line? G sitting on oh,
Speaker 5: ready to go something like that when he got hired.
Speaker 3: That's me. They're ready to be packed up. We'll go wherever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what he told Mitch Barnhart. I'm sitting on
Speaker 5: G waiting on O or something like that. Actually, now
Speaker 5: that you say that, I think that's true.
Speaker 3: Dude. Do you think we're gonna be sitting on a
Speaker 3: W or an I n this year at all? In football?
Speaker 3: Maybe two? Maybe three?
Speaker 4: Uh say By Toledo first.
Speaker 3: So the basketball, uh started last night. The games in
Speaker 3: Lexington is just telling these guys, are you all gonna
Speaker 3: go to any of the games in Lexington? The day
Speaker 3: session tomorrow, you know, tickets are not bad, but the
Speaker 3: night session literally it's like six dollars. I mean part
Speaker 3: of it is most of these other regional sites, like
Speaker 3: the one We're going to have like fifteen thousand seats
Speaker 3: and this has twenty twenty one. But there are seats
Speaker 3: for that night session in Lexington tomorrow night six dollars.
Speaker 3: So I don't understand how Kentucky fans wouldn't just go
Speaker 3: and just boo Tennessee the.
Speaker 4: Entire time, right because there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 4: orange in there, So why not buy these tickets and
Speaker 4: wear some blue to the game.
Speaker 3: And there's probably a lot of Tennessee fans who are like,
Speaker 3: I'll go Saturday, but I'm not gonna drive all the
Speaker 3: way up there just to see him play Wafford. So
Speaker 3: I actually think the Saturday seats, if Louisville wins and
Speaker 3: you get Auburn Louisville and Tennessee, those actually might be
Speaker 3: more difficult seats. But I think on Thursday. It won't.
Speaker 3: If you're just a fan of college basketball you want
Speaker 3: to go watch the NCAA Tournament, I'm not sure how
Speaker 3: much you know how much cheaper it's ever gonna get.
Speaker 5: Driving through downtown, I did see Tennessee fans already in
Speaker 5: our restaurants.
Speaker 3: I saw the Tennessee US.
Speaker 5: It's parked right next to the Louisville bus. Seeing that
Speaker 5: by Rupparina was an ugly sight. But they're already, They're
Speaker 5: already starting to take over downtown.
Speaker 3: Lectionson saw the Auburn bus. Let mean, let me tell
Speaker 3: you something cool. If you're just looking for a kind
Speaker 3: of a neat little story. You may have watched last
Speaker 3: night the Alabama State Was it Saint Francis? Is? That
Speaker 3: who they played?
Speaker 4: Francis?
Speaker 3: I didn't think I'd get that much into it. I
Speaker 3: also was very surprised. You know, when I was a kid,
Speaker 3: I couldn't even get my parents. I mean, they would
Speaker 3: watch the games, but they didn't really care. Whereas like
Speaker 3: I knew the schedule of every game. Maybe my mom
Speaker 3: would watch it when she'd walk in. Larry would watch
Speaker 3: most of them, but it like wasn't a priority to them.
Speaker 3: Sports was not a big thing in my family except
Speaker 3: for me. Right last night, I'm sitting at home and
Speaker 3: I get a text message from my mom that says,
Speaker 3: did you know there's an Alabama State player from Morristown, Tennessee?
Speaker 3: And I thought, well, first of all, no, I did
Speaker 3: not know that. But secondly, I cannot believe my mom
Speaker 3: is so into the tournament that she's looking up the
Speaker 3: biographies of the players. You know, Morristown, Tennessee is like
Speaker 3: forty five minutes for Middlesborough, so that's why she cared.
Speaker 3: But Drew. It does feel like to me the tournament
Speaker 3: is kind of I mean, it's always big here, but
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of back nationally a little bit.
Speaker 3: The ratings for the selection show were like the highest
Speaker 3: since COVID. I don't know if you saw the Big
Speaker 3: Ten championship game, which of course people watch waiting for
Speaker 3: the got like its highest rating since twenty ten or
Speaker 3: something like that. It does feel like college basketball kind
Speaker 3: of got its groove back this year. We're back.
Speaker 5: I've had I think everyone I know has sent me
Speaker 5: a bracket pool telling me to get in those. Everyone's
Speaker 5: always into that, but that's add the excitement. I was
Speaker 5: a little bombed last night. I have money on will
Speaker 5: there be a buzzer beater in the tournament? And that
Speaker 5: went in with zero point seven seconds. But that was
Speaker 5: still an exciting first game to kick things off. What
Speaker 5: do you think you can't ask for a better finish?
Speaker 3: It was like the lightner play was no one could
Speaker 3: catch the ball? Yes it was.
Speaker 4: They did put somebody on the inbounds guy. I saw
Speaker 4: that didn't help, didn't help throw it up as like
Speaker 4: the hell Mary and an end zone in a college
Speaker 4: football game where it kind of gets goes through everybody's
Speaker 4: hands and some guy just waiting here at the end
Speaker 4: to catch it.
Speaker 3: So if you decide to go to the games down here,
Speaker 3: what I thought was cool was when the when the
Speaker 3: game was over, okay, so I was waiting for the
Speaker 3: second game to start. So there's a channel CBS Sports Network.
Speaker 3: What they're doing during the tournament is just showing like
Speaker 3: the press conferences. Okay, so like you can watch Kentucky's.
Speaker 3: So if you see online that Kentucky's press conference before
Speaker 3: or after the game is at a time, it'll be
Speaker 3: on the CBS Sports Network. So I turned it over
Speaker 3: there and Alabama State was having their postgame press conference
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, I'll watch it. I like
Speaker 3: when people win. I think it's kind of I like
Speaker 3: watching people celebrate. It's kind of like a happy thing.
Speaker 3: The coach was talking about the game and then they said, Okay,
Speaker 3: you're gonna go play Auburn, which is just forty five
Speaker 3: minutes away from Alabama, like they haven't played since like
Speaker 3: two thousand and nine, but they're just down the road
Speaker 3: from each other. And they said what do you think?
Speaker 3: And he said, you know, as we walked in here,
Speaker 3: I sat and thought, I'm gonna get on a bus
Speaker 3: and go two and a half hours and we get
Speaker 3: to play in RUP Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. And he
Speaker 3: just kept emphasizing RUP Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. And he
Speaker 3: just said, you know how cool it is that we're
Speaker 3: going to Rough Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. And first of all,
Speaker 3: every time he said that, I just felt like joy,
Speaker 3: you know, like how weeks But also it made me
Speaker 3: want to I mean, they're not gonna win, but Drew
Speaker 3: made me want to pull for him because it felt
Speaker 3: like he really respected our place and all that.
Speaker 5: Now there's an appreciation for it. I doubt Louisville and
Speaker 5: Tennessee will have that appreciation. I mean, they went on
Speaker 5: too this year.
Speaker 3: I just want to remind him in rupt but you do.
Speaker 5: If you look at all the tournament sites, it is,
Speaker 5: it's not often you get one of college basketball's best
Speaker 5: venues as the host. I mean there's NBA arenas, Yeah, Providence, Raleigh,
Speaker 5: you know, name all these, But I could understand why
Speaker 5: some of these small schools that would never get that
Speaker 5: chance to ask for the excitement.
Speaker 3: The other great arenas don't host the NCAA tournament, right, Cameron.
Speaker 3: You know, Duke's Arena never ho fall Out field House
Speaker 3: will never host it, Indiana's won't ever host it, poly
Speaker 3: Pavilion won't host it. Like we're I mean, we're probably
Speaker 3: one of the six or seven meccas of college basketball,
Speaker 3: and honestly, it's probably the only one that we'll ever
Speaker 3: host an NCAA tournament.
Speaker 4: You know, I never really had thought about it, but
Speaker 4: you're right. It's such one of the most historic basketball
Speaker 4: arenas and for college basketball, all the other ones they
Speaker 4: never host first round, second round games, they never hosted anything.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're going to five serve for them? Was
Speaker 3: that exciting. Yeah, I don't know what happens there except
Speaker 3: the Bucks play there. It's not even the same floor
Speaker 3: because it's in that guy's house.
Speaker 4: So are we in danger of losing Carapondelle to Alabama State?
Speaker 3: I think she thought they were sweet? Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: the way they were happy, you gotta adopt to Cinderella.
Speaker 3: It's not cheating on your team if you adopt people
Speaker 3: who are happy and have joy like she likes the underdog,
Speaker 3: so yeah, she she I don't think we would have
Speaker 3: to play them till the championship game, so I don't
Speaker 3: know that we're gonna get against them, Which gets me
Speaker 3: to my question that I wanted to start with, which
Speaker 3: is all right, big picture, we've talked about this all year,
Speaker 3: what's it take to be successful? Bird? But you've seen
Speaker 3: the bracket, you know the team we're gonna have. How
Speaker 3: do you feeling like next week on Wednesday? Are we
Speaker 3: gonna be preparing for a Sweet sixteen game? Or are
Speaker 3: we gonna be talking about the portal and wondering if
Speaker 3: we're ignoring the turn? But what are we gonna be
Speaker 3: doing after this weekend?
Speaker 5: I'm confident about winning the games, but I admit John
Speaker 5: Caliperry has broken me where I just the the potential
Speaker 5: of coming home early lives in the back of my brain.
Speaker 5: Like you're just saying we have Saturday off. Reminded me
Speaker 5: of last year when I thought we had Friday off.
Speaker 5: We're just driving back Pittsburgh. I mean, we don't have
Speaker 5: to revisit the past, but it has changed my way
Speaker 5: of thinking going to the tournament, where I used to
Speaker 5: kind of just overlook these games, and now it's I
Speaker 5: got my guard up a little bit, even though I
Speaker 5: still feel good about Kentucky's chances.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can go on in most people, including myself,
Speaker 4: would have been happy to get to that second weekend.
Speaker 3: So but you're not answering my question to either of you,
Speaker 3: are we gonna Are we gonna be doing it next weekend?
Speaker 4: So I finish what I'm saying, probably solutely interrupt. Well,
Speaker 4: I didn't say I think they'll get to the Sweet
Speaker 4: sixteen and they do it. Now, I'll be even more
Speaker 4: impressed with the injury that we've had to deal with
Speaker 4: the season We've had to deal with, with all the injuries,
Speaker 4: I think we will get there, and when we do,
Speaker 4: I think we should celebrate it even more because of
Speaker 4: how they got there, So you say, yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: moving on, Channon, what do you think?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they will And I look at once
Speaker 1: they get to the sweet sixteen the same way I
Speaker 1: look at the SEC tournament after they won that first
Speaker 1: game against Oklahoma and played it at whatever.
Speaker 2: At that point, you're playing with house money.
Speaker 1: So if you know if you lose, you don't want
Speaker 1: to lose the Tennessee but if you did, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be any shame in that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I feel like we'll get there. I'm not
Speaker 3: extremely confident, like I think all those teams that we
Speaker 3: meet in the second round, if we got there, could
Speaker 3: beat us all three of them. We're only gonna have
Speaker 3: to play one of them. But whichever one they are,
Speaker 3: which would you rather play, by the way, if you
Speaker 3: had to choose, cause I don't know as much about them.
Speaker 3: A Price Davier like an NBA pick, and Trey Johnson
Speaker 3: going off concerns me. Illinois is the best team. I've
Speaker 3: Illinois and Texas both have top ten picks. Yeah, could
Speaker 3: that could potentially go off? Who would you like to play?
Speaker 4: I would say Xavier, They've got there, one of their
Speaker 4: best players as former Kentucky mister basketball, Damian McKnight, who
Speaker 4: transferred from Western Uh, they're dangerous, they're good. I actually
Speaker 4: I have them beating Texas.
Speaker 3: So who would you rather play?
Speaker 4: I'd rather play Xavier?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sad time after I'd rather play Xavier again because
Speaker 3: you don't want to have the one guy goes off
Speaker 3: and there's nothing you can do scenario. What about you, Shannon?
Speaker 1: I think Texas is the team I would rather play.
Speaker 1: I don't know a whole lot about Xavier. I feel
Speaker 1: like Texas we've seen them before, we know what they've got,
Speaker 1: you know I don't want to.
Speaker 3: See I think we're better than Texas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, most sec schoos I wouldn't want to play, but
Speaker 1: Texas is one I wouldn't mind playing again.
Speaker 3: Illinois who I'd want to play the least because I
Speaker 3: do think that when they're hot, they're tough. Now they
Speaker 3: can be awful, but when they're hot, they're tough. So
Speaker 3: they're one I want to play the least. If my
Speaker 3: memory serves one, team from the playing game always like
Speaker 3: wins their first game. So either North Carolina's gonna beat
Speaker 3: Ole Miss or the Texas Xavier winner is gonna beat Uh.
Speaker 3: Is gonna beat Illinois. I feel like one of those
Speaker 3: two things will happen. I kind of hope it's the
Speaker 3: Texas Xavier winner. But I feel good about us going on.
Speaker 3: I would have felt fine about the Sweet sixteen and losing,
Speaker 3: But if it's Tennessee, that'll be a hard will be
Speaker 3: that'll be that'll be hard to swallow. But we're not
Speaker 3: there yet. First, we just gotta win Thursday. The only
Speaker 3: the only disaster scenario for Kentucky is to lose third,
Speaker 3: is to lose Friday, but loose Thursday before we play.
Speaker 3: That's real bad. But if don't you agree, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: the only disaster.
Speaker 5: I mean that would be three first round exits in
Speaker 5: four years, Is that right? I don't even like saying
Speaker 5: that out loud. This is Kentucky. That's crazy to even
Speaker 5: that that's on the tex what's the kind of thing
Speaker 5: that you do and then other teams go? Is the
Speaker 5: Kentucky run?
Speaker 3: Just like?
Speaker 5: Are they just done? Because you can't lose like that
Speaker 5: three years in a row. And that'd be Pope two
Speaker 5: years in a row. I mean the team last year,
Speaker 5: but I mean Pope would have lost in an upset
Speaker 5: first round two years in a row don't want to
Speaker 5: help the confidence around him.
Speaker 3: A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
Speaker 3: text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
Speaker 3: two five four. We're gonna take a break. We're here
Speaker 3: at KOs Bar and Grill. It is wings Day, and
Speaker 3: it is the day before the tournament. This is Kentucky
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. It's a great song, right, this is John Prime.
Speaker 2: Uh, please don't bury me.
Speaker 3: Please don't bury me. Yeah, he puts my stomachs in
Speaker 3: Milwaukee so they don't run out of beer. He sang.
Speaker 3: It was with Tyler Childers on Austin City Limits. And
Speaker 3: I still look that up online because I really like it.
Speaker 3: I would tell you to find a chain, but it's
Speaker 3: actually hard to get. It's from KT but any cool
Speaker 3: I like this song on I forgot that it had
Speaker 3: Milwaukee in it.
Speaker 4: I don't think i've ever heard this song. I'd love
Speaker 4: to hear the Tyler Childers version of it.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll play it on the draft. Somebody wrote me
Speaker 3: here and said that they're expecting they're expecting south of Chicago,
Speaker 3: maybe a tornado watch today, So that's where we'll be.
Speaker 3: So that's nice, heading straight for it. Where we go
Speaker 3: they really do the tornadoes just come where we come.
Speaker 4: You're the meteorologist, what do you think about the weather.
Speaker 3: Situation of just like Nashville. I think it's fine.
Speaker 4: Think it's fine.
Speaker 3: I told you to be fine in Nashville, and it
Speaker 3: was a little windy and a little bit of rain,
Speaker 3: but it ended up okay. By the way, I want
Speaker 3: to say the folks in if you're ever going to Nashville,
Speaker 3: which probably everybody will, the most overrated place I've been
Speaker 3: in Nashville. I'm not trying to hurt this place, but
Speaker 3: they have a putt putt golf thing called like put
Speaker 3: smack or putt shut shack.
Speaker 2: No overrate, Oh yeah, put shack.
Speaker 3: It feels like you're kind of playing because it's overrated.
Speaker 2: You're just fun.
Speaker 3: It's first of all, it's I could give a million
Speaker 3: critiques of it. Most of the stuff is broken, Okay,
Speaker 3: that's part of it. And then they whoever designed it,
Speaker 3: there's this huge space for a bar, and then they
Speaker 3: cramp you into this little tiny area for the putt
Speaker 3: putt and you're standing on each other and everybody's breathing
Speaker 3: their hot mouth on you, and it's just it's it's
Speaker 3: not I was excited about it. We went on Saturday
Speaker 3: and I was like, putt shack, baby, putt, and it's
Speaker 3: not good.
Speaker 5: I went to put shack Denver had an absolute blest.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it because you have to put out.
Speaker 4: I think that's it. I think he's not used to
Speaker 4: the putting phenomenon.
Speaker 3: You do have to put out, like because there's like
Speaker 3: a chip in the ball that reads it. Now, if
Speaker 3: parts were broken, that wouldn't be as fun. When I went,
Speaker 3: it was day one, so we were the first tress.
Speaker 3: Like they had tetris, but the little things didn't move. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's an issue. That's an issue, right. Otherwise it's awesome.
Speaker 3: Then they have different color courses, but each course has
Speaker 3: like four holes that are the same. And then there's
Speaker 3: a trivia course and you have to like you can't
Speaker 3: answer the you can't finish the put until you answer
Speaker 3: the question. All these drunk people are like, honey, is
Speaker 3: it love? Islander? Is it temptation? It's like, come on, man,
Speaker 3: just hit the stupid ball. It combines everything I don't like, lines, running,
Speaker 3: putting out, hot drinking, a lot of drinking, A.
Speaker 4: Lot of drinking.
Speaker 3: I don't even drink. People try to get a diet
Speaker 3: coke in that place like they're lett. They look at
Speaker 3: you like you're from the moon children. It's like a
Speaker 3: combination of all us.
Speaker 4: It sounds like your hell and you took your whole
Speaker 4: group of dudes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a you know, it's nice. They let
Speaker 3: you play like a nonsom, which is fine for me,
Speaker 3: but I don't like everybody else's nonsome. It's because then
Speaker 3: you have to stand behind it. So anyway, I still
Speaker 3: want to open kspar Is like our own version of that.
Speaker 3: Actually that I mean, that would be fun, but it
Speaker 3: sounds like you're not in We gotta have more space
Speaker 3: than they have it. Put put check a five nine
Speaker 3: two eighty seven one person rites, Matt. I've been reading
Speaker 3: up on Troy. They are a team that doesn't shoot great,
Speaker 3: but they offensive rebound as good as any team in
Speaker 3: the country. Are you worried about that? I was worried
Speaker 3: about that early in the year. The teams that offensive
Speaker 3: rebounded well really hurt us. But as the year got on,
Speaker 3: we got better at that, and we we we didn't
Speaker 3: get kind of dominated on the board ryan as we
Speaker 3: did early in the season, So I'm not as worried
Speaker 3: about that as before.
Speaker 4: It sounds like they're a lot like Texas A and
Speaker 4: M just really get after it defensively, good offensive, good rebounders,
Speaker 4: kind of tough, physical, not the greatest shooting team of
Speaker 4: all time. So that team used to give our team trouble.
Speaker 4: I don't think that gives us our team trouble much anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either, And you know, I mean they
Speaker 3: kill an offensive rebounding in their conference. But remember, I
Speaker 3: mean we're gonna have guys that are just as big
Speaker 3: as they are. They sort of dominated in size in
Speaker 3: their conference, which was what the Sun Belt or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 5: The upsets usually see teams get hot from three, like
Speaker 5: we did last year. They only make seven a game
Speaker 5: and shoot like thirty percent. So I actually like seeing
Speaker 5: a matchup of a team doesn't shoot well even though
Speaker 5: they've got like good two point defense, offensive rebounds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a physical team, and I just think you're
Speaker 3: gonna have a hard time, you know, when you're playing
Speaker 3: another if you're playing a bad team, I can understand
Speaker 3: how the physicality would take them over, but you're gonna
Speaker 3: have a hard time even with us over physically us.
Speaker 3: I'm like you, I would be much more worried about
Speaker 3: a team that shoots threes and has precision on offense.
Speaker 3: Those are the teams, at least in the last half
Speaker 3: of the year that gave us problems.
Speaker 4: Any concern at all on your part, take Lamont Butler out,
Speaker 4: there's not a lot of NCAA tournament experience on our
Speaker 4: on our team. Does that bother you at all?
Speaker 3: I mean, how much NCAA experience is it on their team?
Speaker 3: They won?
Speaker 4: They weren't last year. I thought they won the tournament,
Speaker 4: they conference. I think they won the tournament.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean still they don't have NCAA experience,
Speaker 3: So no, I mean I don't really care about that.
Speaker 3: You know, if we end up I mean Texas and Xavier,
Speaker 3: you know, Illinois, how much experience do they have? Tennessee
Speaker 3: will have some, but we've already played Tennessee, so we're
Speaker 3: not gonna be scared of Tennessee. I think the tournament
Speaker 3: experience drew matters if you get guys who have not
Speaker 3: been on a big stage. But when you play at Kentucky,
Speaker 3: it's a big stage from moment one. So I think
Speaker 3: to the extent that that's an issue, It's not an
Speaker 3: issue at Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Troy hadn't been in a long time. I have
Speaker 5: a fun fact about one of their players, their best player. Actually,
Speaker 5: he was recruited by one Billy Claude Gillespie play at
Speaker 5: Ranger College. So we played a couple of years there
Speaker 5: and then transferred to Troy. Wow, save of Billy last week,
Speaker 5: And Billy didn't actually coach him there, but he recruited him,
Speaker 5: and the kid signed under Billy, and then Billy.
Speaker 3: Left before the season. But he's so their star player
Speaker 3: came from Ranger College. Uh, do you expect us to
Speaker 3: have fans up there? I haven't heard of a lot
Speaker 3: of people going. I assume we'll have people who go
Speaker 3: to the weekend game. We've got a ton of fans
Speaker 3: UK alumni that live in Chicago, so I think, But
Speaker 3: I have not heard of a lot of people going Friday.
Speaker 3: Have you not?
Speaker 5: Really some of the usual suspects we know they go
Speaker 5: to everything or going but as far as like just
Speaker 5: getting a bunch of response online and you know, some
Speaker 5: exciting feedback of people talking about what they're going to
Speaker 5: be doing where they're sitting, I haven't heard as much
Speaker 5: as that as we normally.
Speaker 3: Would It's the only negative I think about how big
Speaker 3: a deal our fan base makes the SEC tournament is
Speaker 3: a lot of them don't feel like going and traveling
Speaker 3: again the next weekend to the NCAA. I mean, I
Speaker 3: if I think about even our big runs over the years, Ryan,
Speaker 3: we get big crowds at the regional, but in the
Speaker 3: first and second round sometimes we don't. I mean, when
Speaker 3: we were in Pittsburgh last year, there wasn't a ton.
Speaker 3: When we were in Greensboro there wasn't a ton.
Speaker 4: Makes me a little concerned because I've not heard of
Speaker 4: anybody either going and it's not that bad of a
Speaker 4: drive seven hours.
Speaker 2: Was giving you a gas money?
Speaker 3: Pope is offered like right now you can get your
Speaker 3: gas money at this moment. Is that where Mario is?
Speaker 3: That may be why he's not here. I just text
Speaker 3: him said, where are you goes? I was a late start.
Speaker 3: Guess that's not how you can't do that. We'll be
Speaker 3: right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 1: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 3: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Dwight Yoakam's in Milwaukee this
Speaker 3: weekend Saturday night. I'm just saying, we don't have anything
Speaker 3: to do, so we're imagine go a little guitars and
Speaker 3: cadillacs and he'll billy music around.
Speaker 2: The stage where you can see the games.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he keeps TVs for the game
Speaker 3: Shannon Yokam concert, but it's kind of exciting, isn't it.
Speaker 3: You've never seen Dwight a bit.
Speaker 4: Right, just when he did the benefit concert down here
Speaker 4: at rub when they all got on stage, he was
Speaker 4: one of those guys.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right for I'm gonna go with the phones
Speaker 3: right here. I'm gonna tell you a sentence I never
Speaker 3: thought I would say in my entire life. Kentucky is
Speaker 3: considering taking a player in the portal from Lincoln Memorial
Speaker 3: University of Harrion, Tennessee. You have to understand to understand
Speaker 3: how crazy this is. When I was so Harriget, Tennessee
Speaker 3: is right next to Middlesbrough. Like literally you go through
Speaker 3: the Comelin Gap tunnel and there you are. I played
Speaker 3: a y s O soccer at the l m U
Speaker 3: cow pasture next to their field. Right it is now
Speaker 3: like a medical school. When I was in high school,
Speaker 3: it looked like LMU might close. Like the place was
Speaker 3: a dump. Like the place was a dump. It was
Speaker 3: falling apart. Most of their studtudents were exchange students because
Speaker 3: they couldn't even get anybody to go there because it
Speaker 3: was a private school and it cost too much money.
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, some dude died, Rest in peace, dude,
Speaker 3: and he left like tens of he left, like his
Speaker 3: whole estate to LMU. And now it is one of
Speaker 3: the nicer college campuses. You'll see. It has a medical school,
Speaker 3: it has a vet school. It even has a law school.
Speaker 3: The law school's in Knoxville, but the rest of it
Speaker 3: is all Inherrogate. The place is like, you know, we've
Speaker 3: driven past it. You drive past it, besides the big
Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln statue, you would think you're in like a
Speaker 3: major college area, you know what I mean. And it's Inherrogate, Tennessee,
Speaker 3: right across the street from the Oasis, which unfortunately burned down.
Speaker 3: But like so that being a nice college is crazy
Speaker 3: to me. It rose to Division two. You remember a
Speaker 3: few years ago won the Division two national championship, and
Speaker 3: they are transitioning. They'll be in Division IE next year.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that they're going to the OBC to
Speaker 3: be in Division one. And if you had told me
Speaker 3: that college, which I thought was gonna shut down, would
Speaker 3: end up being a Division I school, I would have
Speaker 3: never imagined it. But they're really good at basketball. You
Speaker 3: know the guy that was at Saint Louis with kream
Speaker 3: Abdul Jabbar the coach. Yeah, and he was at Indiana State.
Speaker 3: He came from LMU. Oh, he from ELMW to Indiana
Speaker 3: State to now he's at Saint Louis. My point in
Speaker 3: all that is to say, they have a kid that
Speaker 3: is like an NBA prospect. So when I saw Kentucky's
Speaker 3: what's his name, Elijah Freeman, Elijah Freeman. When I saw
Speaker 3: Kentucky was considering this kid, I thought, you know, my
Speaker 3: cousin played at LFU, Right, I mean seriously, my cousin
Speaker 3: played at LFU. Morgan Wallen's cousin played at LMU. But
Speaker 3: so I made a couple of phone calls yesterday to
Speaker 3: people who go to those games, and they said, dude's real.
Speaker 3: Said fifteen NBA teams have come to watch him this year.
Speaker 3: They were like, we don't. I don't know how we
Speaker 3: got him, but they did. He's six' eight if you
Speaker 3: watch the, highlights very, athletic And i'm Told kentucky is
Speaker 3: like had. That kentucky has sent people to the games wow.
Speaker 3: Already so you, KNOW i don't know if he's somebody
Speaker 3: LIKE i don't know if we should get him or.
Speaker 3: Not But, DREW i just think it's cool that somebody
Speaker 3: that was is AT lmu potentially could be A kentucky.
Speaker 3: Player it is.
Speaker 5: Crazy but he's six,' eight he's averaging nineteen to nine
Speaker 5: and shooting he's, like fresh shoots like forty three. From three,
Speaker 5: you know it's harder that BEING in, d two how that.
Speaker 5: Would TRANSLATE but i can absolutely understand why you'd give
Speaker 5: him a call and, Consider, that.
Speaker 3: Well THE best d two schools are better than a
Speaker 3: LOT of d. One, Schools, right like there's a Kid
Speaker 3: AT auburn i think WHO played D TWO and I
Speaker 3: heard i believe IT Was seth greenberg say the top
Speaker 3: ten SCHOOLS in d two are better than half the
Speaker 3: SCHOOLS in. D one they just happened to BE in.
Speaker 3: D two so let's just say you saw those stats
Speaker 3: from A guy eastern you'd, be, like, oh, Okay maybe
Speaker 3: so what do you think about us maybe getting a
Speaker 3: KID from lmu who probably has Eaten At cracker.
Speaker 5: Barrel in middlesbrough? Multiple times what About the gondolier my place.
Speaker 3: Certainly eating At the gondolier it's like three blocks away.
Speaker 4: From campus it's crazy because when we first started doing
Speaker 4: this about twelve thirteen, years ago we drove through the
Speaker 4: tunnel and was on the right, hand side. Not much
Speaker 4: and then about ten years later you drove us past their, a,
Speaker 4: game like oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3: Like it's a very, nice game. Super nice if You're
Speaker 3: In eastern kentucky and you go to, the doctor there's
Speaker 3: a really good chance your doctor WENT. To, Lmu no.
Speaker 3: I'm serious it's become like the med School Of. Eastern
Speaker 3: kentucky and now we MIGHT have, i mean we might
Speaker 3: have a basketball Player at KENTUCKY. From lanmu never.
Speaker 4: Once in my LIFE that I think lmu would produce
Speaker 4: a player that could not just Play. At kentucky BUT
Speaker 4: the nba is looking.
Speaker 3: At me they've SAID fifteen nba franchises have sent scouts to,
Speaker 3: their games and again he's Not. In kentucky but for
Speaker 3: those of you that know know The area harrogut Is.
Speaker 3: BASICALLY kentucky i mean it's it's when people Live, in
Speaker 3: harrogut they come to go to the Town, TO yeah
Speaker 3: i mean all the restaurants Are. In middlesborough, like like
Speaker 3: he's Basically, a kentuckian which IS why i think there's
Speaker 3: a good chance he ends.
Speaker 4: Up, here yeah because.
Speaker 3: He, is basically if You're, In, harrogut tennessee you're Essentially
Speaker 3: A kentucky and it's like being in, You, Know jeffersonville
Speaker 3: inniana or something.
Speaker 5: Like that Our guy jacob interviewed, to me he said
Speaker 5: he grew up Like in. KENTUCKY too i think he's Originally,
Speaker 5: from florida but grew Up a. Kentucky fan but WHAT
Speaker 5: if i had told you five years Ago that kentucky
Speaker 5: would have two players from The thirteenth region and maybe
Speaker 5: a Transferred From, lincoln memorial you would, have thought hell.
Speaker 3: Froze over that's a. Great POINT so I just i
Speaker 3: think you watch. This kid i'm making. NO predictions i
Speaker 3: have no idea where he's. Gonna go but if you're
Speaker 3: telling me there's a Kid that kentucky wants that's from
Speaker 3: a school that's Essentially. In kentucky you gotta think there's
Speaker 3: a good chance they get.
Speaker 4: It right especially if you said they've already been down
Speaker 4: there to watch. Him play they're showing some. SERIOUS interest i.
Speaker 3: Actually don't KNOW if i was supposed to say that
Speaker 3: you stack. Like, that okay? Who's up he's had a
Speaker 3: lot of schools. Contacting, Them, Yeah will will, Go? Ahead will.
Speaker 6: He was fella's first time Long cun BUT who. I
Speaker 6: listen i just want to say a big thank you
Speaker 6: to my grubby. Little nephews you're like two and three.
Speaker 6: Years old you got, Me sick SO now i get
Speaker 6: to stay home the next couple of days and just
Speaker 6: watch basketball.
Speaker 3: All, DAY well, i mean if there was ever gonna
Speaker 3: be a time to, be sick this. Is it You
Speaker 3: remember benetta used to do. Vasectomy madness during, this time
Speaker 3: they would book Visecta, Mes, monday Tuesday and wednesday so
Speaker 3: that you could Stay home Thursday and friday and watch.
Speaker 3: The game, SO wait i don't think they do voseectomy.
Speaker 3: Madness anymore but you got getting sick by your two
Speaker 3: and three year. Old.
Speaker 6: Madness, Yeah well i'm, twenty nine so let's not quite
Speaker 6: get to the.
Speaker 3: Vispecamis YET but i don't think you need. ONE yet, i.
Speaker 6: Listen that's, all, ahead guys have a, good one, all right?
Speaker 3: Appreciate it? Are you? Didn't you you didn't get, that vasectomy? Did?
Speaker 4: YOU no i think it's a. Wonderful idea. It's brilliant
Speaker 4: sit around with a nice pack on your junk for
Speaker 4: a couple of days and. Watch basketball we don't need the.
Speaker 3: Word junk Why don't why have you not gotten? A viseect,
Speaker 3: to me it feels like the kind of thing you.
Speaker 4: Should do well The way god. Made me it's really
Speaker 4: hard for me to father a. Child anyway so, oh, YEAH.
Speaker 3: Okay i didn't. Know, THAT yeah i didn't expect you
Speaker 3: would just saying. Today's show but.
Speaker 4: My guys aren't necessarily strong swimmers.
Speaker 3: Down, There okay, so TODAY like, i mean we all
Speaker 3: figured it out and.
Speaker 4: YOU and i get to sit in the front seat
Speaker 4: together for. Seven hours this is.
Speaker 3: Day one of Many with ryan in the next couple.
Speaker 3: Of weeks to take a sleeping peal or something before.
Speaker 3: We leave? Who's, Next kent kent', go ahead kent't?
Speaker 7: Any about how are you all? Doing today?
Speaker 3: Doing GOOD.
Speaker 7: So i was hoping to give the final word on
Speaker 7: our probability undriven. From yesterday, all, right.
Speaker 3: Well before you, Do, That okay so he wants to
Speaker 3: give the final word on, THE probability i don't know
Speaker 3: why we would, believe can't but but, but, we'll we'll we'll.
Speaker 3: Do it BUT before i looked up as MUCH as
Speaker 3: i could, look UP and i Actually think drew and
Speaker 3: the other guy are, both right as weird as, that
Speaker 3: Sounds because drew's scenario of eating ten, at once if
Speaker 3: he literally put all ten in his mouth, at once
Speaker 3: would be. Ten percent but if you did it one at,
Speaker 3: a TIME then i think the ten point four eight,
Speaker 3: is right at least from. My research now, You can't
Speaker 3: you may, feel differently what do?
Speaker 7: You, think yeah so that is. Almost correct so the
Speaker 7: issue with that is they are what's called. Dependent events
Speaker 7: so the probability of picking the first grape being normal
Speaker 7: is ninety nine out of, one, Hundred, right yeah. Pretty
Speaker 7: obvious so then next one you have. To, consider, Yeah
Speaker 7: exactly so when you when you take ten of, those
Speaker 7: terms ninety nine out of, one hundred ninety seven out of,
Speaker 7: ninety eight you go all the way down to ninety
Speaker 7: out of Ninety one when you multiply, those together the
Speaker 7: only two terms that are left after everything cancels out
Speaker 7: is ninety over. One hundred so you've got a ninety
Speaker 7: percent chance. Of.
Speaker 3: LIVING okay i didn't understand the last, leap there so
Speaker 3: you think so you would say the Answer is drew's.
Speaker 7: Ten, percent Yeah and i'm saying it doesn't matter if
Speaker 7: you pick them sequentially or all.
Speaker 3: At, once okay, all right so there's.
Speaker 7: The way to get ten. POINT five i gotta.
Speaker 3: Go break, I'M sorry i gotta. Do break we can't
Speaker 3: make this a. Math show but he votes for You GOOD.
Speaker 5: And i wasn't, even POSITIVE but i brought mine up
Speaker 5: because someone said thirty, eight PERCENT and i know it's
Speaker 5: not thirty. Eight percent that was the first caller that
Speaker 5: tried to give us. A.
Speaker 3: Number Hey, Ksr lister spring is right around. The corner
Speaker 3: to celebrate the season, of renewal Corn brad haamp has

Speaker 8: world to see how this is the best rivalry and
Speaker 8: even better, than that how awesome would it be TO
Speaker 8: see U of L Against saint john's and See coach
Speaker 8: Kelsey Beat rick bettino in the?
Speaker 4: Final?
Speaker 3: Four, well uh that would. Be, Great, now drew You're
Speaker 3: a you're You're A, kentucky yeah You're a. Kentucky fame first,

Speaker 3: you root For for Louisville against? Creighton Tomorrow.
Speaker 5: H craig i really respect. THE effort i think it's
Speaker 5: admirable that you're you're. Attempting this but one. Problem there
Speaker 5: You said louisville in the championship Game. VERSUS kentucky i
Speaker 5: Don't want louisville in the. CHAMPIONSHIP game i want them
Speaker 5: to lose. Every game so that's the that's the problem
Speaker 5: with the.
Speaker 8: Mat, there, well well let me ask, You THIS so
Speaker 8: i Went to i'm a huge fan Of coach pope
Speaker 8: and my FAMILY. AND i went to my FIRST ever
Speaker 8: uk Game and reparina this season and we had a.
Speaker 8: Great time it was a Very different you were right behind.
Speaker 3: The BITCH when i, saw you you were right behind.
Speaker 3: THE bench i actually called security, and said why Is
Speaker 3: the louisville mayor right behind. The bitch.
Speaker 8: We wore, Our blue we cheered For. The cats it
Speaker 8: was a. Great game They BEAT texas A. And m
Speaker 8: but you guys gotta, admit that like uvel, SEATING here
Speaker 8: i mean it was almost LIKE the ovw writers wrote
Speaker 8: the script here and put u of l at your seating.
Speaker 3: Was wrong your seating, Was, Wrong CRAIG and i agree.
Speaker 3: WITH that i said that on on on. National radio
Speaker 3: your seating. Was wrong but at the, SAME time, I,
Speaker 3: mean drew we can't root.
Speaker 5: For, THEM no i don't have that IN. My dna
Speaker 5: EVEN if i wanted, TO try i wouldn't know how to.
Speaker 3: Do, THAT yeah, I mean i know you have to
Speaker 3: Root for kentucky because you're in that. Political SPACE but
Speaker 3: i think it's just gonna be hard. For, Us, craig.
Speaker 6: Well but here's.
Speaker 8: My question don't just to improve the rivalry and what
Speaker 8: joy would you get out of. SEEING it, i mean,
Speaker 8: you know you, KNOW what.
Speaker 3: I think it proves the rivalry The. Most ryan but
Speaker 3: that's when WE beat. HM mffreys.
Speaker 4: I agree i.
Speaker 8: Like that no way for, next, YEAR guys, i mean
Speaker 8: we've Got. COACH kelsey i mean the turnaround at U
Speaker 8: of l has been amazing.
Speaker 3: For The whole let me ask you real, quick QUESTION
Speaker 3: because i do think this is an. Interesting part this
Speaker 3: Happens in Lexington when kentucky's. Not good, just quickly like,
Speaker 3: thirty seconds what has the impact been on the Downtown
Speaker 3: of louisville Actually having louisville be good because we saw
Speaker 3: they didn't have crowds early in, the year but by
Speaker 3: the end of the year. They did oh.
Speaker 8: It's huge if you talk to any restaurant or bar
Speaker 8: Around The, young center they're doing better than they have.
Speaker 8: In years and so all of downtown. Is thriving and
Speaker 8: also you all probably see This in lexington when the men's,
Speaker 8: basketball team when the football team is, doing well when
Speaker 8: women's basketball team is, doing well everyone. Feels better everyone's
Speaker 8: excited about. The city they've got, city pride and so
Speaker 8: you can't put your finger, on it but it is
Speaker 8: millions of dollars directly. And indirectly it really is a.
Speaker 8: Big deal so whatever happens in, the tournament OF course
Speaker 8: I want U of l to go as far as
Speaker 8: possible win. The championship but it has been a great
Speaker 8: season and Here in louisville we are so excited about
Speaker 8: the future, once again as we. Should be we NEED
Speaker 8: both U of L and uk to be great teams
Speaker 8: to keep this. Rivalry strong, all, Right.
Speaker 3: Well craig good luck in the. Game tomorrow express our
Speaker 3: Sympathies To junior bridgeman's family tomorrow at. The service and
Speaker 3: appreciate you calling.
Speaker 8: It, Definitely well so you guys aren't gonna end with
Speaker 8: a cards, HERE here i just got to. Hang, out
Speaker 8: wait tell we, Or not you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna have to. Hang up there's not gonna Be a
Speaker 3: cards cheer for. THIS one i appreciate. The, call no
Speaker 3: you guys have a. Good name we'll say we don't
Speaker 3: think about and this is. You know kelsey said this
Speaker 3: ON the. Espn show, he Said when louisville basketball has,
Speaker 3: been down it's put a pale on the CITY and i.
Speaker 3: Live there that is. Definitely true like. THE city i
Speaker 3: don't want to say it mirrors the fortune of the.
Speaker 3: Basketball team but it's part. Of it but that's. HERE
Speaker 3: too i mean that's. HERE too i mean we've. Seen
Speaker 3: it i've, told you if you're, OUT there i want
Speaker 3: you please come watch the games At ks bar. This
Speaker 3: weekend don't let it Just be Red and orange fans
Speaker 3: in here like, come stuck take off, work tomorrow come
Speaker 3: get your seat and. Do it but, for Us the
Speaker 3: kentucky Losses To saint peter's And to oakland had. REALLY hurt,
Speaker 3: i mean we have a financial model that requires a,
Speaker 3: big march and the moment, you lose this city's just
Speaker 3: done with. The tournament. They're DONE and i that's another,
Speaker 3: reason Why like i'm gonna be Pacing, Against troy i'm
Speaker 3: sure it's the Same way Ryan. AND louisville i.
Speaker 4: CHECK out i want of those people that would have
Speaker 4: gonna take it TO beat i kind of check out of.
Speaker 4: THE tournament i don't want to go associate with anybody
Speaker 4: else watching games and. HAVING fun i will say This.
Speaker 4: About louisville they do seem to have been picking up
Speaker 4: fan interest as the season. Has progressed it looks like
Speaker 4: there's a good crowd even AT THE A.
Speaker 3: Sec tournament it does worry me a little, bit THOUGH
Speaker 3: that i don't think the game is even sold out
Speaker 3: here in the. DAY session I think saturday, might BE
Speaker 3: but i don't think the game is even. Sold out
Speaker 3: and a lot of those Tickets were kentucky fans, at
Speaker 3: First so i'm a. LITTLE surprised, i Mean when kentucky's Played,
Speaker 3: in louisville we always sell that. Building out it feels
Speaker 3: like they should do the same, thing here but it's.
