00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 6: That was the best part. Being under player.

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: My brother gave them the same team, so all that

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: went into one to be able to come back and

00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 5: try to try to win the championship this year.

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aaron, after you all did one, did you have

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: kind of commit right away? Do you have the whole

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: year to look forward to it. What's the excitement like

47
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,200

48
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,080

51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 5: takes a little more, So we're gonna.

52
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 6: Go out there.

53
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880

00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: mature and and having that one year under our belt,

55
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480

56
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 5: have a full group the whole time. So I think

57
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 5: we're just gonna, you know, take a game by game.

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: When you hear last year Andrew you got, were you Uh?

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: I don't think surprised is the right word, but little

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: stunned to see there was support and the love that

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: you guys got and did that play a factor and

62
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: you guys wanted to come back and run it back again.

63
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 5: Honestly, I wasn't even that surprised. I just, you know,

64
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: you forget because I didn't come back at all since

65
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 5: I left school.

66
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 6: So you forget how how.

67
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: Much you know how much they they love basketball, could

68
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 5: take it basketball here. So when you get here, you

69
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 5: like remember like, okay, yeah this is this is crazy,

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 5: this is serious. But nah, at the games, I kind

71
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 5: of got a feeling once we had like an autograph

72
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 5: signing and stuff that all the fan's gonna come and

73
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: show and support us a lot.

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 6: So it was it was a no brainer. Really.

75
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: Last year you all, the highlight was in Louisville, and

76
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: forgive me, I was a littleing cussed. If my details

77
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 4: are off here, I got assaulted there. But I remember saying,

78
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: this is the part where I always hits it, and

79
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: I was talking about Aaron hitting the game winner, and

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: then Andrew hits the elam ending. Was there any like,

81
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: what the hell, man, that's my shot? Any brother? Jealousy

82
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: there was? Was it his turn? How did that work

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: out where Andrew finally got his chance to call game?

84
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 7: Nah?

85
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 5: I mean there's definitely no jealousy. Of course he had

86
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: it going. It was a great shot, great play. So

87
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: you know this type of stuff, you just you know,

88
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: you just want to win. There's nothing, definitely no jealousy.

89
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: How to feel to do that in Louisville. That that

90
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: atmosphere was insane there in Freedom Hall. You being the

91
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: road team, definitely that was fun.

92
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 6: Man.

93
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: You can't even imagine playing a game like that average

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: during the summertime.

95
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 6: It was just crazy.

96
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Yah.

97
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: There's a lot of red in there. Was a little

98
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 5: bit of blue, but there's a lot of red in there.

99
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: So they were they booed us and stuff, which made

100
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 5: me small. That may be smile them booing us when

101
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 5: we ran on the court and everything, I mean shot

102
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: was was good. Blood made the play, got it to

103
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 5: me and I was able to make it, so it

104
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 5: was pretty cool. I got he just saved us so

105
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: many times, so at least I could do it one time.

106
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: You know, you old him one. Do you like the

107
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: elam inning? Had you ever done that before? Was that

108
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: the first time playing there?

109
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: With It's okay, you know, it's okay when you win

110
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: and when you lose, like I wish I had the

111
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 5: rest of the game, but I mean it's okay. It's

112
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: definitely a way for our teams not to just hold

113
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: the ball or keep it exciting, you know, So it's cool.

114
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Aaron, I gotta ask you when you're back in Lexington

115
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: or back in Kentucky. How many times a day do

116
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: people ask you about the shot against Wisconsin or Louisville, Michigan.

117
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: It's got to come up every single day you're here.

118
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, of course all the time.

119
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 5: Like that's probably the first thing that people ask, yeah, like, oh,

120
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: how was this shot? Like how did it feel after?

121
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 5: Like or they say what they were doing when, I

122
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: when when it happened. So that's something that's like, you know, priceless.

123
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 5: So it's pretty cool.

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: And we even asked you here during the break which

125
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: one of the shots was one that kind of curved in.

126
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: It was the Michigan shot that kind of somehow magically

127
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: curved in and went in.

128
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it was a Michigan I think

129
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: I got it. I got a little create, I got

130
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: a little touch on the hand of thinks too, Okay.

131
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: Got a four point play there.

132
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah it dropped.

133
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, thank god you get asked about that so much,

134
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: including us right now. We even asked you when you

135
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: first walked up. Sure this's a fun Kentucky memory. That

136
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: wasn't one of your ten buzzer beaters you had. Surely

137
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: there was a game or another moment that other people.

138
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 4: We can remember you for something else too, because right

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: now I said during the break, the four of us

140
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: will be long gone and generations down the road we'll

141
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: still be talking about there in Harrison shots.

142
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, So probably a memory besides that, probably, like

143
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 5: m I mean, my first Big Blue Madness was kind

144
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: of crazy, Like I think that that had a big

145
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 5: impact on me, like just experiencing that, and then I

146
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: feel I think I went to someone else's like whatever

147
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: they call it similar and it wasn't even it wasn't close.

148
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: So this is going to that that was just pretty cool,

149
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: and that's something I all always remember just being in

150
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: high school and that having a big impact on me.

151
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: And you've carried the team several teams several times yourself,

152
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: just not the buzzer beaters that he had. Did you

153
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: have a favorite moment or a game that you really

154
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: think fondly of looking back?

155
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: I know, the which ISA State game my fresh Mirror

156
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 6: was fun.

157
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: That was probably like the best game that I played

158
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: in while I was here in terms of going back

159
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 5: and forth and just competition.

160
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 6: So that was like a very memorable game, even.

161
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: Though it was kind of early in the tournament, but

162
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 5: we were actually the underdogs in that game. Yeah, and

163
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: I don't know, we figured out a way to win.

164
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 5: So that was a pretty cool moment. Louisville my freshman

165
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: year was a good game. We were underdogs in that

166
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: game as well. We ended up winning. There's so many

167
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: any game that you win, I mean, but you remember

168
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: the losses too. You remember the criticism of all the

169
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: scrutiny that me and him took. So, I mean, you

170
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: you become men, like at the end of the day,

171
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: we became men here. You able to take the good

172
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: and the bad. Gotta be able to have tough skin

173
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: and not really care what other people say. So yeah,

174
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 5: it's I mean, you become a man whether you want

175
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: to or not. So it's it was funny. I wouldn't

176
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 5: trade it for anything.

177
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: You guys talked about that last year when you were here.

178
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: Archie Goodwin just got up. He kind of went through

179
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: some things when he was here. Yesterday we had Khalil Whitney.

180
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: He had some things when he was here, and all

181
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: three of you kind of said the same thing. Helps

182
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: you grow up as a man, not necessary as a

183
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: basketball player, but helps you grow up as a person.

184
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, because everybody's not gonna go on to

185
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: make five hundred million dollars in playing in the NBA

186
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: for twenty years. It just don't happen like that. So

187
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: you gotta what kind of man are you gonna be?

188
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 5: And you're gonna figure it out. Are you gonna complain

189
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: and worry about what else, what somebody else got or

190
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 5: what somebody else doing. So we always been like that.

191
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 5: We never worry about what anybody else got going on.

192
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 5: We're just trying to be the best us.

193
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: So got anything back to that?

194
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 8: Aaron?

195
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 5: Now, of course, I mean that's just a part of

196
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: a part of coming here, part of our college careers.

197
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 5: It was just you know, ups and downs, and you

198
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 5: just become you become tough. Like you said, you have

199
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 5: tough skin, and you learn not to let what other

200
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: people say or do bother you really because we're gonna

201
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 5: do it anyway.

202
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 6: It is what it is.

203
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 4: So let's get back to the present day with law

204
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 4: of me. Oh, you're you're the point guard. What's her

205
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: team looking like this year? Look some back, some new changes.

206
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: Did you have any saying the roster and you're liking

207
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: what they have there?

208
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 6: I never have any say in the roster. Don't it's

209
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 6: not that's not my job.

210
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: But now we look great, man, we look great on defense,

211
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: especially on defensive end. We got a lot of switchable parts.

212
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: We can go one through one through twelve or eleven.

213
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 5: I think that we have everybody on the team can play.

214
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 5: Everyone's gonna stay committed and play the whole time. So

215
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: I think we'll be fine. It's a tough field that

216
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 5: we that that we have. It's like a you're a

217
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: pretty good bracket and stuff like that. But if we

218
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 5: play together, play defense, I think we'll be fine and

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 5: we're gonna we're gonna finish it off this year, hopefully.

220
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 4: Everyone we've talked to has said defense. This sounds like

221
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: we're gonna have some unders Ryan, I think, is this

222
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: is this the message behind the scene with the coaches,

223
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 4: Just defense, defense, defense.

224
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, and in a tournament like this,

225
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 5: it's all about it's about defense. No one's gonna come

226
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 5: in there and play like and no one is gonna

227
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: be such an offensive, fluid team in a week or so.

228
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: But there will be talented players on every team, but

229
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: you just can't let one player beat you. And I

230
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 5: think that we have I think we have a team

231
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 5: that it would be pretty tough for a player in

232
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: this tournament to beat us by itself.

233
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: So last season, when you got to it was the

234
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,119
Speaker 4: expectation kind of what you thought of just the competition

235
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: and the level of play would be. We're kind of

236
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 4: coming in not knowing what you're expecting. Did you feel

237
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: like it met your expectations? Were people better than what

238
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: you thought?

239
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 6: I mean.

240
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 5: No, I mean, if I'm being honest, it's not. I

241
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: still don't feel like too many people are like better

242
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 5: than me individually. So like in this tournament, we all

243
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 5: look at we can look at it like that, like,

244
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 5: oh no, none of these guys are individually better than us.

245
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 5: But if we put it together, it's like it's like amazing.

246
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 5: It's like something that that we don't have to do,

247
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 5: but we're doing it just because we want to sacrifice

248
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: for each other. So, you know, no one is gonna

249
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 5: get a contract out of scoring thirty, especially not on

250
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: our team. No one's gonna really gain anything individually by

251
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 5: going off in that in the TBT, So we all

252
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 5: know that, we know that the goal is to win.

253
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: So that's the best part and what makes it fun.

254
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 2: We had some of the guys say that the relationships

255
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: they built with last year's team UK team kind of

256
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: led them to follow the team more last year. Did

257
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: you either one of you guys like follow the team

258
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: a little more last year because you kind of knew

259
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: these guys, He'd worked out against these guys and maybe

260
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: develop a relationship with any of the guys.

261
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: I think. I, I mean, I feel like I did

262
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 5: have a little bit more of a relationship. I did

263
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 5: kind of like check them out, check on it a

264
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: little more than I Yeah, just because I did get

265
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: to see them up close. I saw him in the summer,

266
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 5: so it was just different, you know, it was it

267
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: was kind of different.

268
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 6: So it's pretty.

269
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: Cool to come back and see see the team and

270
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 5: it has a different it has a different, different feel. Yeah, yeah,

271
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 5: you agree, Andrew, Yeah, absolutely, just being around the guys,

272
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 5: even coach Pope being new, wanted to check it out,

273
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: seeing how they look. But even this year, I'll probably

274
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 5: check them out even more and more, just because I

275
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: know a couple a couple of kids on the team

276
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 5: just from Houston, and they just seem like it's intriguing.

277
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: It's like you don't really know if they're gonna be

278
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: who they're gonna be. I'm not saying. I mean they

279
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: look good yesterday, but you know, you never know who's summertime,

280
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: so it's interesting to see how good they can get.

281
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: You mentioned the connection you all know Jalen Low. He's

282
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 4: new to Kentucky fans. What do you think everybody's getting

283
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: out of the new point guard that came in from

284
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: pitt Man.

285
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 5: At first, he's a great kid, come from good parents

286
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 5: and everything like that. Man, he was a little kid,

287
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: like he's a little kid. He showed me a picture

288
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 5: yesterday he was at David Bunchet. He's like a little

289
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: kid and I was like, oh man, I feel real old.

290
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 6: But now. I mean he's a hard worker.

291
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: I mean his dad had him in basketball all his life,

292
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 5: around basketball his life, so I mean, I think he'll

293
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 5: do well here. He works hard, he's a leader, has

294
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: some toughness, so he just got to keep working. I

295
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: talked to him yesterday, gave him a few pointers and

296
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: he'll be just fine.

297
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: He did he reach out when he was considering Kentucky

298
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: in the portal? Did you all have any conversations before

299
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: he got to Leccident? Or is just now you're walking

300
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 4: hi through it that he's here.

301
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 5: No, no, no, I feel like, you know, everybody got

302
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 5: to make that decision on their own, Like everyone's a different,

303
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: different situation. College basketball is way different now than when

304
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 5: I was picking, so it's a different mindset.

305
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 6: So nah, I didn't. I didn't.

306
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: I didn't get to talk to him about that. But

307
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: I got to talk to him yesterday, and we did

308
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 5: an interview earlier this week together, so I was able

309
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: to talk to him. He was able to ask me

310
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 5: some questions and stuff too.

311
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: So, and you mentioned yesterday, we're not really allowed to

312
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: talk much about it, but there seemed to have been

313
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: a gathering yesterday with you got and the other guys.

314
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: What's your takeaway from that, Aaron?

315
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 5: It was it was fun. I mean, I think that

316
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 5: they they're they're a good it's a it's a good group.

317
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: It's an athletic group. I think that the SEC will

318
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 5: be fun to watch this year. They I mean, they

319
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: obviously have like a leader and they have I mean,

320
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: they have a leader and coach pope, so I think

321
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: I think they'll be fine in the SEC. I think

322
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: they need to make sure they're physical enough. We were

323
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: a little physical with them yesterday and They definitely fought

324
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 5: back with that, so that was a good sign. So

325
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: I think that's the main thing. Like SEC basketball is

326
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: pretty physical, so that's probably what people are wondering when

327
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: when a bunch of new guys come in and can

328
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: they handle the SEC? Can they can? They do that

329
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 5: every every week, but I think that they responded to

330
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 5: us pretty well. So this week.

331
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 4: Makes it easy for you all to interact with Pope

332
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: and the team. I mean you're in the same building

333
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: over there. But beyond TBT, I think Pope's done a

334
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: good job reaching out to alumni. We hear stories of

335
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: some other guys, you know, pictures with them. It's offered

336
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: up the gym to anyone. Do you all feel like

337
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: Pope's doing a good job of keeping everyone all all together?

338
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 5: He definitely, He definitely leaves Blue for sure, like he

339
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 5: loves it. He loves being here. He from what I

340
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: see every day, he seems like he's grateful and he

341
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: puts us on every day. So you can't ask for

342
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: much more out of a coach. I mean, winning a

343
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: tournament it's a one game thing out so you can't

344
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 5: really judge judge someone like that, even though you know

345
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: that's what we do. That's you you have to do.

346
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I think he's a right man

347
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 5: for the job. Can't really put it in no other words,

348
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: perfect guy for the job.

349

Speaker 2: How do you thank you? Shannon?

397
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: I was on the DraftKings app heavily last night, made

398
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 4: my big deposit for college football to.

399
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Say, what were you betting on last night?

400
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: Now, well we got we got the open British Open

401
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: started at one fifty one am this morning. Had to

402
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 4: get those in, but they had a deposit offer, came

403
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 4: with some bonuses I had. I was gonna put in

404
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 4: a small deposit. I put in a very big deposit,

405
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: so I'm ready to go for.

406
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: Football college football season, bring it up. But I was.

407
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: I was all over the apple last night.

408
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: I think we're witnessing something kind of special with these

409
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: TBT interviews for the third time now, we've had guys

410
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: that went through some struggles and issues here and are

411
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: now kind of talking through it. Khalil Whitney yesterday, Archie

412
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: and the Twins today. You can kind of feel their

413
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: pain a little bit and like it's been good therapy

414
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: for them. I think, to talk about it.

415
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I've been an Archie defender for a long time.

416
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 4: Love Archie that I'm not saying that because any of

417
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: my fandom. That's probably the best answer we've had from

418
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 4: any player to any question in any interview ever. I mean,

419
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: he was completely open.

420
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: That's why I didn't we just let him go. Yeah,

421
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: you could, you could see him, you could hear it.

422
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: We had to just let him go.

423
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 4: And just the level of detail in the back he

424
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: was going player by player and how they were used,

425
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: should have been used, how injuries affected them. I mean,

426
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 4: leave aside him personally, he just did a great job

427
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 4: explaining just how that whole season went, the struggles they

428
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 4: had as a team, let alone what he was going

429
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: through himself. Thinking he's be used in a different role sham.

430
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: People were like text me, like, I want to give

431
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: Archie a hug after he left here.

432
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 6: Oh yeah.

433
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's a lot of you know, a

434
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: lot of love that these guys. I think maybe we'll

435
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 3: fill in this TBT tournament that maybe they didn't you know,

436
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: necessarily feel when they were players here exactly welcoming them back.

437
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: You know.

438
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: It was always a lot of fun to see.

439
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 4: And Archie's gonna get buckets. He was like one of

440
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: the leading scorers last year for that Eberlian Drive team.

441
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: He's watch Archie this weekend.

442
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: When you saw him, did you not think he was

443
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: still eighteen years old. He looks like he's eighteen years old,

444
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: which he's good. These guys are all thirty years old,

445
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: close to thirty years old.

446
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 6: Man.

447
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: You know they're getting up an agent. I think they

448
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: want to get back to what they their love for

449
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: UK want to feel it again.

450
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: That's one of my biggest takeaways having covered all of

451
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 4: these guys since Cal's first year. Like in, Archie comes

452
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: here and he's eighteen, and like any of them, they're

453
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: right out of high school. They're shy, you know, they're

454
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 4: kind of giving two word answers maybe a full sentence.

455
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: You're not getting a lot out of them. They've been

456
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: media trained. Now we're talking to thirty year old versions

457
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 4: of those guys and grown men. Yeah, just having real

458
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: good conversations about how it went. It's almost like we're

459
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 4: I mean it's not almost. We're getting them in a

460
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: different part of their life, a lot more mature and

461
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: have a lot more to say about how it went.

462
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 2: But in a little bit though, even with the Twins,

463
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: they talk about the struggles they went through, they go

464
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: right back to that moment and you could see and

465
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: hear that they still feel that when they were eighteen, nineteen,

466
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 2: twenty years old and they were here.

467
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 4: And for people that only hear this and don't keep

468
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 4: up with La Familiar on social media and all the

469
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 4: stuff that's going on this week, it is really cool

470
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: to see how much fans embrace these guys. Whether it's

471
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: at a restaurant one night, or the bottle signing tonight,

472
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: or over at the road show. Whatever they're doing is

473
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 4: they're getting the same love that they were getting when

474
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: they were showing up for games as college kids.

475
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: And I think that's why a lot of these guys

476
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: have come back, will eat the Twins. Some of these

477
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: guys come back and run it back again because of

478
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: exactly what you just said.

479
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 4: A lot of the ones you mentioned. You know, Andrews

480
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: said himself he didn't get to come back from the

481
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 4: moment he left. Yeah, they've been playing proker. They're just

482
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: slowly reaching the end of theirs. Then through TBT, they're

483
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: all able to come back. We haven't. We haven't seen

484
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: Archie in person probably since the Robert Morris game in Pittsburgh.

485
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: So it was really good catching up with all of them.

486
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think he said that. He said, uh. When

487
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: that game was over, he immediately left and has not

488
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: come back, but he wanted to be a part of it.

489
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: Last year signed with somebody else and made it a

490
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: point to come back and play again this year to

491
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: be be a feel a part of the BBN family again.

492
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: And we're long past this, but when Pope first got hired,

493
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: there was the concern of the cow guys would they

494
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 4: be all in? Now that has been proven a hundred

495
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: times over at this point. But these are just more examples.

496
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: And I think Pope taking the guy his current team

497
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: last year to the TBT tournament had him sitting on

498
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: the in the end zone, taking him to Louisville to

499
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: watch him play Louisville. I think that kind of added

500
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: to that look where we want you guys to feel

501
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: as much part of this family as we feel about

502
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: you guys.

503
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aaron said, you know, I'm checking on a little

504
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: more than I would normally. I mean, in this coming year.

505
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 4: They have the jailing connection that we got into a

506
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: little bit. But that story has been written several times

507
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 4: about how when he first got here he mentioned having

508
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 4: connections to them. I think maybe Darren Fox connection all

509
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: these Texas guards we keep getting here in Lexington.

510
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: Now, before we go to a break, we got a

511
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: couple other guys we're going to finish up with. But

512
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: I do want to tell you today is the anniversary

513
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: of an awful day in Lexington history. This is the

514
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: day that Trent Degerro got murdered by Shane Raglan July seventeenth.

515
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: And there's a new documentary out that I watched it

516
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 2: and it's awesome. I mean, people that know around here

517
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: know the story and it's on it's called A Killer

518
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: among Friends and it's on HBO. It's like six different

519
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: episodes and the Trent dezero episode is episode number one

520
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: A Killer among Friends on HBO. If you remember the story.

521
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure people around here they know the story. It's

522
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: the officer Don Evans, is Antonio O'Farrell, some of the

523
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: guys that were involved in it. It's kind of a

524
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: new fresh look at what happened that night. I mean

525
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: the house is still over there off campus, you know,

526
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 2: still the paint of the same pale color blue. I mean,

527
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: everybody knows around here knows that house. So I just

528
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,040

Speaker 4: I have to watch that. They did a dayline episode.

531
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 4: I remember watching that. That's how I learned most of

532
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: what I know about it because I wasn't really following

533
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,720

555
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,640

556
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 9: here in front of Kentucky fans at rapp Arena. You know,

557
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 9: they embraced me. They call me an honorary alumni.

558
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

559
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 9: So it was a fun experience. You know, we got

560
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 9: the final four. I felt like we played well for

561
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 9: the most part. This year, we have you know, a

562
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 9: different team, you know, deeper, more youth, I would say. So,

564
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 9: guys and get us started on Friday.

565
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, Let's talk about those fans embracing you, because I'm

566
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: one of them. I tried to try to find some

567
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: of your jerseys online. I became such a fan. How

568
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: cool was that?

569
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 8: You know?

570
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: I think there were only two players on the team

571
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: that weren't former Kentucky players. You probably a little shot

572
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: coming in, and then Kentucky fans just treated you like

573
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: you had played at UK. Was that expected at all?

574
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: Did your brother warn you that was coming?

575
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 7: No, it's not expected at all.

576
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: You know.

577
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 9: I was talking to DJ about this yesterday. Throughout the season,

578
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 9: I was getting more love from Kentucky fans than any

579
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 9: other school that I played for.

580
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 7: You know, it was a really cool experience.

581
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 9: You know, I've watched my brother Obviously he didn't get

582
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 9: to play here, but I watched his season here and

583
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 9: I saw how crazy the fans can get here. So

584
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 9: it was a cool experience. I'm definitely looking forward to,

585
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 9: you know, getting that type of love for me and

586
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 9: my team as well.

587
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: So when your brother was here, did you come physically

588
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: to a game at Roperena or to Lectington at all?

589
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: When he was here.

590
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 9: I came to a game. I came to a game

591
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 9: when they played Tennessee. You know, it was unbelieving experience.

592
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 9: You know, I got to watch guys like Brandon and I,

593
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 9: Terrence Jones, Droon Lamb put on the show. You know,

594
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 9: my brother was just sitting on the sideline. You know,

595
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 9: it sucked and not having him play, but you know

596
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 9: it was really cool, you know, watching a game. I

597
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 9: think I was at the time, fifteen or sixteen years old,

598
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 9: my first year coming to America. So I'm like, if

599
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 9: they have that type of love for college basketball, you know,

600
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 9: it's cool.

601
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 4: DJ. We heard over the wain and you had a

602
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: quite a game. I wasn't there to watch it, but

603
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: did you just let it all out on these guys

604
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: and the screw? Fifty points?

605
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 7: Is this?

606
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: Was that an accurate number?

607
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, it was fifty.

608
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 10: I actually got encouraged by a lot of the guys

609
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 10: to get back in and score the last four points.

610
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 10: I was off a second half most of the part.

611
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 10: But nah, I just got a lot of love. I

612
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 10: just had fun, you know, that's all it was about.

613
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 10: Give it back to the community. Being a people's person,

614
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 10: you know, it's definitely important to me. So you know,

615
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 10: I wanted to give the community a show. A lot

616
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 10: of the guys, you know that we were a little rusty,

617
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 10: you know, just getting off of planes and stuff like that,

618
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 10: so somebody had to you know, put on a little

619
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 10: bit of a show. So nah, I just was really

620
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 10: more pleased and happy that the guys were, you know,

621
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 10: really encouraging of it.

622
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 8: It made me feel comfortable right off the rips.

623
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, and you're one of the guys like him

624
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 4: that didn't actually play UK, but you have Kentucky connections.

625
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: Played to Murray. If you heard from some Racers fans

626
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: that are following you now that you're back representing the Bluegrass.

627
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, most definitely.

628
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 10: Honestly, I was a little bit of nervous, you know,

629
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 10: Murray staying in Kentucky doesn't have the best relationship.

630
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 8: But I got a lot of love from both communities,

631
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 8: you know.

632
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 10: Mary State fans actually hit me up today and I said,

633
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 10: they're going to be at the game and they'll love

634
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 10: to take pictures and hug and stuff like that. So

635
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 10: I'm not It's always good to come back to, you know,

636
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 10: Kentucky on which I feel like is home for me

637
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 10: and uh and play for a beautiful cottage like University

638
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 10: of Kentucky.

639
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: It's not all beef between the two. I'm from Western Kentucky.

640
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: I like both.

641
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 4: One of our employees went to Murray's, so we like

642
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: the Razors and the cat. It's glad to have you

643
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: on the team this week.

644
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 8: Was definitely, man, I'm happy to be here.

645
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 6: Man.

646
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: So not not only do you have the Murray State connection,

647
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: you played for Shawn Woods at Southern Yeah, so you

648
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: got that connection now then.

649
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 10: It was definitely was definitely Yeah. A great guy you

650
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 10: know on the court. You know, he definitely knows the stuff. Experience,

651
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 10: you know, in his legacy from UK carries, you know,

652
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 10: he knows what he's doing. So you know, we're having

653
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 10: him on the coaching staff, especially as the head coaching

654
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 10: made it a lot more comfortable to come to play,

655
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 10: you know, for UK alumni and UH and to be

656
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 10: a part of the journey because I believe these guys

657
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 10: are one of the best teams last year. So hopefully

658
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 10: I'm one of the secret recipes to get it done

659
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 10: this year.

660
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 4: Have you had a moment yet where you're like, Sean,

661
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 4: I'm not in college anymore, I'm not really on your team.

662
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna run right now. I'm getting older, I'm

663
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: catching my breaths. It's still He's just still the coach

664
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 4: and you're you're you're locked in on whatever he's telling

665
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: you to do.

666
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: Well. I mean, that's one thing I love about Woods.

667
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 10: You know, he's never gonna change, oh, no matter you

668
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 10: know how old he gets on where he at, you know,

669
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 10: no matter what.

670
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 8: That's how I was, and I love him for that,

671
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 8: you know.

672
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 10: So you know, he doesn't change and I don't expect

673
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 10: him to, and that's what I love about him. So

674
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 10: you know, he still tells me run hard, be the

675
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 10: energy guy. Same stuff he told me in college. But

676
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 10: that's what got me to this point, so I wouldn't stop.

677
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 8: Now.

678
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 4: Sean and Ryan are very close, So U Ryan and

679
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 4: they're good buddy. Sean's been on the show many times.

680
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 4: We're big Seawan Woods fans.

681
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: Here absolutely, carm you know you're you were there last

682
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: year and here this year. How is this team different

683
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: than last year's team?

684
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 9: Like I said before, we're deeper. You know, we have

685
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 9: eleven guys that can all play, that are in good shapes.

686
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 9: You know, our practices have been great. We're competing, you know,

687
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 9: and last year was able Familia's first year doing that

688
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 9: so this year we have more experience. We got to

689
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 9: the final four, so I think having that experience is

690
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 9: key for us, and having veterans like Drone Lambs, someone

691
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 9: who won a championship here.

692
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 7: You know, if you look.

693
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 9: At March Madness and TVT, they're kind of similar concept

694
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 9: in a way that it's a winner go home and

695
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 9: Drond Lamb was one of those guys that went all

696
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 9: the way and won a championship. So his I think

697
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 9: contributions will be huge for us for sure.

698
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: You know, he was supposed to on the show yesterday

699
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: and we think he overslept.

700
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: He gets he could sleepy sometimes.

701
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 9: Karen, that's okay. I think we'll go to a second round,

702
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 9: so you guys will have time to have.

703
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 4: Somewhere we go.

704
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to be his wake up, make sure he

705
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: gets up and ready for the game to tomorrow night.

706
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, well game is at seven, so hopefully he's up

707
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 7: by that.

708
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have problems if he's not up by seven.

709
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: But you mentioned being surprised by fans and how they

710
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 4: embraced you. Were you as surprised as I was by

711
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: the atmosphere a rup And then when you went to Louisville,

712
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 4: which you want, I'll add, but that place was insane.

713
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 4: Did you expect that when you committed to play in

714
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: the TVT that you'd be playing in these big sold

715
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: out or you knows like you have been?

716
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 7: Not really.

717
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 9: So this is my fourth year playing in TVT. Two

718
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 9: years ago I was playing for the college that I

719
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 9: went to, Xavier, and we hosted Cincinnati and we got

720
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 9: about eight thousand, and I think that was the second

721
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 9: most fans that was ever at at a game. First

722
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 9: was Witchita at nine thousand. I definitely didn't expect sixteen

723
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 9: seventeen thousand at a TVT game. You know, it's summertime.

724
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 9: People usually, you know, not as school students are not here,

725
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 9: so it was it was a cool game. I'm glad

726
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 9: he won that game, you know, bragging Rice for an

727
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 9: entire year.

728
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 7: You know. Hopefully we play against those guys this year too.

729
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 7: It was fun. I'm looking forward to that.

730
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: So what you what's your expectations Dan being the rookie

731
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: on the team now this year.

732
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I haven't. I don't have four years like

733
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 8: my gud.

734
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 10: But I played in the TVT last year run DFW,

735
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 10: you know, in the Louisville region, so Actually I was

736
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 10: at the game, you know, ye Louisville, so I got

737
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 10: to experience somewhat on the outside. But now I'm just

738
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 10: ready to do my part. You know, I expect you know,

739
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 10: sold out arenas. I expect you know, big time shots.

740
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 10: I expect big time plays, you know, because that's what

741
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 10: you want. I'm a competitor, so I didn't want to

742
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 10: sign up for nothing that was you know, wasn't up

743
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 10: to par. So I believe, you know, it's one of

744
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 10: the best competitions that you know, could be available right now.

745
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 8: That's why I committed to playing it.

746
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 10: And you know, with the guys on my team, you know,

747
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 10: they're big time players, big time shot makers. So nah,

748
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 10: I'm just ready to you know, to one be a

749
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 10: fan of it all and see it and to to

750
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 10: be a part of it. Man. And uh, like I said,

751
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 10: just do my contribution to whatever I could do to

752
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 10: you know, help this team succeed.

753
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 4: For either one of you. Since you're both veterans here,

754
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: do you like the elam ending now that you've had

755
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: it a few years playing in this is it especially

756
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: you made with the ball in your hand? Do you

757
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: like knowing one shot could call game? At any moment

758
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 4: like that.

759
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, it definitely gives a little more interest to every possession,

760
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 10: you know, down the stretch. But uh yeah, I mean

761
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 10: as a competitor, like I said, you know, you want,

762
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 10: you know, big time shots, you know, big time plays.

763
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 10: So now that's why I'm glad I got a lot

764
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 10: of players on my team that, you know, all could

765
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 10: mix shots like that, all big plays. So yeah, it's fun,

766
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 10: you know when you're on a on a good side

767
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 10: of it, you know, but uh, you know it has

768
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 10: its cons definitely, you know when you're on the other

769
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 10: side of it.

770
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Andrew mentioned when you lose, you want more time

771
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: on the clock, like, no, one more minute. We got this,

772
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 4: but it has been fun. Andrew hit the big shot

773
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: in Louisville. Did you get an elam ending last year?

774
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

775
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: I thought you did. There you go, Yeah, I knew

776
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: you had one. Feeling good getting that game winner.

777
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 9: No, definitely adds more excitement to the game. You know,

778
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 9: the game could be a blowout, but like you want

779
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 9: to see, like what's gonna happen in that Ela Manding,

780
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 9: So it adds more enjoyed excitement. So I'm a fan

781
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 9: of the Ela Manding.

782
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Well of course you're gonna feel that. You already know

785
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: Kentucky Wildcat now for life. You guys wearing your Kentucky Yeah,

786
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 2: I got love.

787
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 10: I got a lot of little so far man even

788
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 10: gave my own little personal UK bag and stuff like that.

789
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 10: So no, man, you know that they didn't theydn't embrace

790
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 10: me with more than love.

791
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: So we can't use the S word. But you guys

792
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: did have a little gathering yesterday.

793
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: Not a scrimmage, not a screamin.

794
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't a screaming. It was just gathering. What was

795
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: your takeaway of the team you played against yesterday, Karen.

796
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, so we've done a similar concept last year as well.

797
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 9: You know, I think last year's team or this team

798
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 9: is a little bit different.

799
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: How are they different?

800
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 9: I think last year I think they relied on outside

801
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 9: shouts more and a little bit more physical. I think

802
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 9: this year's team has more skill and guys that can,

803
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 9: you know, do multiple things. You know, I was a

804
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 9: fan of Ottega. Yeah, you know, I think he's gonna

805
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 9: be a leader. He's gonna, you know, be the guy

806
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 9: for them. But I think they have ten eleven guys

807
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 9: that can play. So that was that was really cool

808
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 9: to see. You know, I'm looking forward to seeing these guys.

809
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 9: I think they they you know, they put up a

810
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 9: good fight yesterday, so I'm looking forward to following.

811
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 7: Them all season long.

812
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: What about you, DJ?

813
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, I've just seen a lot of explosiveness. Like

814
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 10: you said, you know, they got a lot of young

815
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 10: talent over there, and those guys, you know, they're not

816
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 10: no pushovers for sure. They definitely can hold their own

817
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 10: and and some more. So now I'm excited to see

818
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 10: how to Welkis do this year. I'm expecting big things

819
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 10: from them. They got a lot of great, great silent

820
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 10: over there, and like I said, and I'm expecting a

821
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,160

858
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 4: That was Ryan's fault.

859
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you for having me.

860
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: Uh. You started your career at Northern played for Darren Horn,

861
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: had a.

862
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 4: Great career there, all horizon.

863
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 2: Great hit, a couple of drum mentioned, a couple big

864
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 2: bug buzzer beaters played. What the decision? Then the transfer

865
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: got to play in the SEC Againstsouri last year. That

866
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: had to be a big thrill for you.

867
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 11: Yeah it was, yeah, you know, just making that jumping,

868
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 11: like you said, all four years in Northern Kentucky and

869
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 11: I had a great career there and then you know,

870
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 11: I just wanted to prove something, you know, at a

871
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 11: bigger level.

872
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: Ryan mentioned it. But the Kentucky game, even though it

873
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 4: went well for the Wildcats, you got pretty hot.

874
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 8: Yeah.

875
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 4: If you didn't leave Missouri scoring, you had to been

876
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 4: close seventeen eighteen points something like that? Was it because

877
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 4: of that Lexington connection and that logo on that jersey?

878
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 4: Did it wake you up a little bit? Or I

879
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 4: think you all were in a funk at the time.

880
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 4: Did you just know that the team needed to get

881
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 4: back on the right track. Any extra motivation there at all?

882
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 8: Yeah?

883
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll be honest, it was a little bit of both.

884
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 11: You know, you know how guys get hyped up and

885
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 11: things like that to play Kentucky. But at that you know,

886
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 11: my hometown school, uh school I grew up watching, and

887
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 11: so you know, just to play against them, you know,

888
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 11: it meant a little bit more in that game, especially

889
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 11: at home. It was senior day too, so but also

890
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 11: it was just me staying ready when my name was

891
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 11: called and just being ready to go and do what

892
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 11: I do out there.

893
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: And Kentucky really needed to win that Free SEC tournament.

894
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: So I apologize anything I said towards your direction. My television.

895
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: Why you were knocking down five three pointers or whatever

896
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 4: it was.

897
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: Have you touched the ball knocking down at three pointer?

898
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 8: Yeah?

899
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: It gets Kentucky. So I mentioned you said your mom

900
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: still lives here in Lexington, So you still spend a

901
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: lot of time when you during the off season coming back.

902
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, every time, you know, during my college career,

903
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 11: coming back during the spring and then sometimes in the

904
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 11: summer when we have breaks for workouts. But but yeah,

905
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 11: I love Lexington. I've been here basically all my life,

906
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 11: and you know, I love just coming back and seeing

907
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 11: my mom and the friends as well as well.

908
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: You don't see you kind of grow at Henry Clay.

909
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 2: You now ended up Henry Clay's all time scoring leader

910
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: at Great Basketball School. You were just every year you

911
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: got better and better and better.

912
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 8: Yeah.

913
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I tell people all the time I basically

914
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 11: did in three years because I barely played my freshman year.

915
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 11: But but yeah, I mean, just a great tradition there.

916
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 11: And at the time I took over the record from

917
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 11: the assistant coach Steve Miller.

918
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: Who played there.

919
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: Mister basketball tech.

920
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 6: Ye shout out to Steve Miller. You know, he held

921
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 6: it since nineteen eighty four.

922
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 11: So I wish I could have the career he had

923
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 11: with with state championships and mister basketball. But but yeah,

924
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 11: I mean I had a great time there and just

925
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 11: a lot of hard work and patients.

926
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: Your time in Missouri is still fresh, so I understand

927
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: if it's awkward admitting this. But did you like Kentucky

928
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 4: growing up? When you were in likeing it? Did you

929
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: follow the Cats closely?

930
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 6: I followed him closely.

931
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 11: I've always been a basketball junkie, so I've watched a

932
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 11: lot of games in Kentucky basketball. But no, I didn't

933
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 11: grow up a fan at all. I never wore Kentucky Blue.

Speaker 11: the staff like Scott count with them.

947
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that he's a Henry Clay guy.

948
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 11: Henry Clay guy. Yeah, So he brought up that idea

949
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 11: to me. I was like, yeah, I'm interested potentially because

950
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 11: I was thinking about I'm still going through the pre

951
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 11: draft stuff and also looking for some of the opportunities.

952
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 11: But but then you know, Twany and Ethan Corey on

953
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 11: the on the staff, you know, they hit me up

954
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 11: and they said, do I want to play? I was like, yeah,

955
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 11: I'm interested for sure. So yeah, I mean anytime I

956
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 11: could just come out here and you know, play with

957
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 11: you know, Kentucky legends and meet new people and things

958
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 11: like that and make connections, you know, I was definitely

959
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 11: down for it.

960
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 4: You and I guess Ansley Almanor have the freshest legs

961
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: on the team, having just finished your college careers.

962
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 7: Yeah.

963
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 4: Do you think just coming off of SEC basketball toughest conference,

964
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 4: that gives you all just a little bit of advantage

965
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 4: at least with youth and the experience you're just coming

966
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: out of.

967
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely, definitely, Like you said, just having those fresh legs,

968
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 11: being young, being able to basically, I mean, if we

969
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 11: want to play almost the whole game, we really if

970
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 11: we if we needed to, because we just came off

971
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 11: the season and you know, we're still a little bit

972
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 11: young so compared to our teammate. So but yeah, there's

973
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 11: definitely an advantage and definitely something that will be used

974
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 11: for sure.

975
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: So after the tv T tournaments over, what's next for you?

976
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 2: Will you're gonna look to play overseas somewhere or yeah.

977
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely looked at the pro options, whether it's overseas

978
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 11: or G League route one of the two. But yeah,
