Speaker 1: Comes into Oway o Way, sprints up into front court,
Speaker 1: drives it down to the baseline, flips it up home
Speaker 1: made Kentucky. He made it like five to play shot
Speaker 1: from back courts. No, oh my, oh way, face the
Speaker 1: damn he did it twice. Welcome everybody. It is the
Speaker 1: Kentucky select Or. No it's not. It's the local Toyota
Speaker 1: Dealers KSR postgame show. It is two twenty five in
Speaker 1: the morning. How you go let Mario in? He needs
Speaker 1: to he needs to get in the house. Yes, uh,
Speaker 1: I think he's downstairs.
Speaker 2: We are on the roof of our house here in
Speaker 2: Nashville at two twenty five looking at the blood moon
Speaker 2: as it is about to occur as the if you
Speaker 2: go outside right now, the moon is almost completely uh covered.
Speaker 1: And what a night. I mean, this is one of
Speaker 1: those we'll remember for all time. Kentucky nearly blows a
Speaker 1: twelve point lead with two minutes ago, a ten point
Speaker 1: lead with a minute and forty seconds to go, nearly
Speaker 1: blows it. Then Ohway, for the second time this year,
Speaker 1: Otaga away hits a shot at the buzzer to beat Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: and Kentucky moves on to the quarterfinals. In a stunning
Speaker 1: eighty five to eighty four victory. I have to tell
Speaker 1: you this has been one of the more memorable days
Speaker 1: that I of the SEC tournament. Kentucky fans everywhere, Nashville
Speaker 1: flooded in blue, and then a game where you think
Speaker 1: it's over, Kentucky just unbelievably collapses down the stretch and
Speaker 1: then otega Oway for the second time of the year
Speaker 1: to go against his former team and hit an impossible
Speaker 1: shot again for the second time this year. I mean
Speaker 1: that shot left handed while under the basket, literally on
Speaker 1: the other side of the backboard, to make another game winner.
Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable. The arena was electric, and there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to talk about, so let's talk
Speaker 1: about it. Eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: It is amazing to me that, first of all, it's
Speaker 1: this late. This is the latest that I can ever
Speaker 1: I think this is the latest we started. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think this is the latest. I know this is the
Speaker 1: latest one we've ever started to twenty six in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's never been this late. So start with that. All
Speaker 1: the amazing games today that led it to be late,
Speaker 1: and a victory that Kentucky really needed. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we needed it no matter what. But when you
Speaker 1: consider how the game played out, the fact that Kentucky
Speaker 1: you know, was tied with seven minutes to go, actually
Speaker 1: down one, and then able to with five minutes with
Speaker 1: two minutes to go in the next five minutes take
Speaker 1: a twelve point lead, but then almost lose it and
Speaker 1: then win with the last second shot. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's an insane sort of turn of events. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to say. First of all, what
Speaker 1: about Oway, right? What a player? I mean, to do
Speaker 1: this against his former team twice, he will now have
Speaker 1: his two highest scoring games at Kentucky, barring the rest
Speaker 1: of the tournament, to be against his former team. I mean,
Speaker 1: how magical is that? To be able to do and
Speaker 1: to hit game winners in both shots or in both games. Insane?
Speaker 1: Kobe Braya gets four threes. When Kobe Bray gets four threes,
Speaker 1: that's probably a pretty good sign. And he hits them.
Speaker 1: Kentucky is now thirteen and two. When he hits four
Speaker 1: threes or more than three or more threes in a
Speaker 1: game massive shots, I thought Andrew Carr played really well.
Speaker 1: Colin Chandler I thought played well, Trent Noah played well.
Speaker 1: You got some contributions early in the second half from
Speaker 1: Ansley Almanor. I mean, it was a team victory, but
Speaker 1: then there were some problems. Okay, as good as Kentucky
Speaker 1: was to allow that game to fall apart at the
Speaker 1: end of regulation, you know, we're not gonna worry about
Speaker 1: it because we play again tomorrow. But man, I mean
Speaker 1: the turnovers, three turnovers in forty seconds, missing free throws.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Mark Pope didn't call timeouts, but
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll forget about all of it because
Speaker 1: of that last shot. And I think that's why it's
Speaker 1: so crucial. I don't know what's gonna happen in the
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, in large part because of Lamont Butler, which
Speaker 1: we will talk about in a second as well, but
Speaker 1: they really really needed this one, and you kind of
Speaker 1: get this situation where I think, for everybody listening right now,
Speaker 1: take a second if you're listening live. If you're listening
Speaker 1: on podcast, that's cool too, But take a second. If
Speaker 1: you're listening live, it's two thirty in the morning. We
Speaker 1: are having like a once every twenty five years event
Speaker 1: right now. In our lunar atmosphere. We're celebrating an amazing
Speaker 1: win at the culmination of an unbelievable season, and we
Speaker 1: get a game winner in the process. And on a
Speaker 1: personal level, I'm sitting up here, I have a house
Speaker 1: full of people, only three of which are still awake. Hubby,
Speaker 1: Brian and Mario just walked in. Who was filming the
Speaker 1: moon And like, these kind of moments. Isn't what isn't
Speaker 1: this What doing the Big Blue Nation thing is about,
Speaker 1: is staying up into the middle night, having moments like
Speaker 1: this and getting the feeling you did when he hit
Speaker 1: that shot. It was unbelievable and it's why we're fans
Speaker 1: of this team. It's why we enjoy following Kentucky basketball.
Speaker 1: Now going forward, they play Alabama. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that's gonna go, especially with the Lamont Butler situation. He
Speaker 1: got hurt, only played eight minutes. All vibes don't seem
Speaker 1: good about his future. Mark Pope said it was devastating.
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he use that word. If
Speaker 1: that man he was gonna play again for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. They said they're gonna have more imaging
Speaker 1: and more knowledge tomorrow. Maybe they'll tell us tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: kinda would be surprised if they do, because they might
Speaker 1: not want to announce it because they don't want to
Speaker 1: affect our NCAA tournament seed. If you say Lamont Butler's out,
Speaker 1: they might drop us from a two or a three
Speaker 1: to a four. I think it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 1: they don't say it. But the rules have also changed
Speaker 1: on this, which is they might have to say it.
Speaker 1: I don't really know because of gambling. I don't really
Speaker 1: know exactly how that affects it. But for me personally,
Speaker 1: I'm going into this thinking we probably don't see Lamon again.
Speaker 1: And so now we have a team where our starting
Speaker 1: lineup is gonna be o Way Brea, probably Colin Chandler
Speaker 1: Carr and Williams. That's not really the lineup we thought
Speaker 1: we were gonna have. Our freshmen, including the two Kentucky kids,
Speaker 1: are gonna be playing big roles. Garrison and Almonor have
Speaker 1: to step up. But you know, Mark Pope said after
Speaker 1: the game, you're gonna have to kill us to beat us,
Speaker 1: and I think that's true about this team. They're going
Speaker 1: to leave it all on the court. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen tomorrow. I don't know what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament, but in part because of the
Speaker 1: win tonight, I'm pretty immensely satisfied with what this team
Speaker 1: has done. This is a special evening that I hope
Speaker 1: everybody enjoys and for otega Oway, you get in that
Speaker 1: group of legends that we think about postseason shots that
Speaker 1: were huge being made. This will be one people remember,
Speaker 1: and especially if you're up right now, I know you're
Speaker 1: gonna remember it as well. A five nine two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: I don't know how mean is that red? And would
Speaker 1: you all that red? I don't know. It's definitely unique.
Speaker 1: They say it's a blood mood. I don't really see red,
Speaker 1: but either way, it's still a cool sight and we
Speaker 1: will use it to celebrate the victory over the Red
Speaker 1: Team Oklahoma and a move to play another one the
Speaker 1: Crimson Tied tomorrow. This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR
Speaker 1: Postgame Show. Welcome back. It is the Local Toy Dealers
Speaker 1: KSR Postgame Show. If you are up and listening live,
Speaker 1: just send me a little message on the text machine.
Speaker 1: Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four,
Speaker 1: and just send me where you're listening from. I like,
Speaker 1: I'd like to read some of it, Billy said. Billy said,
Speaker 1: The phone lines lit up the moment we opened them
Speaker 1: up at two.
Speaker 3: Thirty, the moment I opened them up, all six lines.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really amazing. That's only here right uh
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean this is gonna be a cool one.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, looking up seeing the moon,
Speaker 1: got my friends up here on the roof. It's a
Speaker 1: little cold out here in Nashville. I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 1: to you, but nevertheless, it's cool. I was gonna have
Speaker 1: Mario come on and talk about what it was like
Speaker 1: being in the building because we actually watched it here,
Speaker 1: but he disappeared. I don't know where he went, so
Speaker 1: maybe he will come back and we will put Mario on.
Speaker 1: But as people write in, I want to see where
Speaker 1: you are. You're listening back on the Butler thing for
Speaker 1: a minute. You know, this certainly takes the upside for
Speaker 1: Kentucky down a notch. I mean, the chances of even
Speaker 1: making a final four or e Laite eight become much
Speaker 1: more difficult. To be honest with you, but I do
Speaker 1: think you got to remember the group that's going to
Speaker 1: be on the floor did win at Tennessee. You know,
Speaker 1: they did play Alabama on the road and stayed with
Speaker 1: them for a lot of the game. So I'm not
Speaker 1: giving up, but I do think there's no doubt that
Speaker 1: this takes the top upside of the team down a notch.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could say say otherwise. All Right,
Speaker 1: so we've got some people writing him where they are
Speaker 1: McCreary County, Central City, Louisville, Wayne County, another one from Barberville. Right,
Speaker 1: We've got Bloomington, Indiana, hopefully it's maybe it's an Indiana
Speaker 1: fan sad because they can't cheer on their team. Boulder, Colorado, Elizabethtown, Owensboro, Henderson,
Speaker 1: and they keep coming in eight five to nine, two,
Speaker 1: eight oh twenty two, eighty seven. Let's get started, Billy
Speaker 1: here in the middle of the night. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's start with Adam Adam.
Speaker 1: How are you Adam?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 4: Matt Jones, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing amazing? What a great night?
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's awesome. Uh. Front Row tonight, it was.
Speaker 4: It was a great night. Got to see Brandon Garrison
Speaker 4: and Otaga take down you know, the rival. Yeah, just
Speaker 4: a good night overall.
Speaker 1: Man, it is a great night. I mean it really is. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, we've kind of forgotten because the last few years,
Speaker 1: what it's like to win these games in March, right,
Speaker 1: to have these March moments. You know, we used to
Speaker 1: have them all the time. We've only won two March
Speaker 1: games since COVID, one SEC tournament game and one NCAA game.
Speaker 1: So it's nice to just have it again.
Speaker 4: Dude, you're not kidding. Like I come down here every
Speaker 4: year with my brother in law Keith, my buddy Troy, Like,
Speaker 4: we come down every year and it's just nice to
Speaker 4: come away with a win. Man, it's just really nice.
Speaker 1: You're exactly You're exactly right. Appreciate. Are you down? Are
Speaker 1: you in Nashville?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I got I got my picture made with
Speaker 4: Mario yesterday and today, so I'm playing on doing that
Speaker 4: again tomorrow.
Speaker 1: People all people want, like Mario is the most popular
Speaker 1: person in Nashville. We are going to do the pregame
Speaker 1: show tomorrow at ten Roof, by the way, so we
Speaker 1: decided to go ahead and do it in public tomorrow,
Speaker 1: So we will be there at seven sixth Central, seven
Speaker 1: Eastern for the pregame show tomorrow, So I hope you'll come.
Speaker 4: By, all right, We'll be there, all right.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. All right, Mario just walked up.
Speaker 1: I only have one headset here because Ryan has the
Speaker 1: rest of the equipment, so I have one the headset.
Speaker 1: So Mario, you well, I don't know, you tell people
Speaker 1: because I'm not gonna be able to ask you questions.
Speaker 1: So you're just gonna have to do a monologue here.
Speaker 1: You tell people where you were and what it was
Speaker 1: like during but also after the game, because you were
Speaker 1: in the locker room and you were all that. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hand Mario the headset here just for him
Speaker 1: to talk.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Mario, al right, guys, here we go, a
Speaker 6: big win for the Wildcats.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna walk you guys.
Speaker 6: Through how it was, where I was the moment O
Speaker 6: Tega away hit the game winner.
Speaker 7: All right, So we first started off. I was in
Speaker 7: the media room.
Speaker 6: I was in the back, you know, watching it with
Speaker 6: a few other reporters as well.
Speaker 7: And you know, take as soon as he.
Speaker 6: Hit it, I literally ran out the media room, ran
Speaker 6: down the hallway. A security guard who actually was supposed
Speaker 6: to be watching the game. I guess, or I guess
Speaker 6: he saw the game, but he ran across from me
Speaker 6: and he's celebrating as well, so we're both screaming in
Speaker 6: the air.
Speaker 7: Another security guard asked me, like.
Speaker 1: What happened? Who won? Who won?
Speaker 7: And I screamed out, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky.
Speaker 6: I ran all the way to the to the very
Speaker 6: end of the tunnel where I or I'm restricted, so
Speaker 6: I can't go out to the court, So I stopped
Speaker 6: right there and then I just literally saw I saw
Speaker 6: like fans going crazy through the tunnel. And then you know,
Speaker 6: we we fast forward to when the Kentucky players are
Speaker 6: coming out first, the coaching staff comes out, and you know,
Speaker 6: we're seeing their their express I'm seeing their expressions and
Speaker 6: how excited they are. Uh I'm If you see the
Speaker 6: video that I posted online, you can see Kirk Crisa.
Speaker 6: He he had a very interesting reaction to it.
Speaker 1: Uh, he was very relatable.
Speaker 6: And then, uh, the probably my favorite reaction out of
Speaker 6: out of all of it was, uh, Mark Pope walking
Speaker 6: down with the take it away.
Speaker 7: He had his hand around his back and you know,
Speaker 7: they celebrate.
Speaker 6: It was a big it was a big moment for
Speaker 6: for Kentucky and the Kentucky fan base in general.
Speaker 7: Man, So I'm gonna headed it off back to Matt,
Speaker 7: let him close it out.
Speaker 1: Well, a long way to go before we close it out,
Speaker 1: but nice model there by, Mario. I'm gonna be complaining
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the show about how the SEC is treaty Mario.
Speaker 1: But to direct it, yeah, they were straight. He won't
Speaker 1: even let it in the court, which makes me mad.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, A great video that's online right now, by
Speaker 1: the way, is Brandon Garrison when it's when the game
Speaker 1: is over. He is waving his finger in his hands,
Speaker 1: waving at the Oklahoma players and fans, and Mitch Barnhardt
Speaker 1: is yelling at him and telling him to stop it
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get a technical. Mitch's scolding Brandon Garrison.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that video, that's on my Twitter account.
Speaker 1: Dylan Ballard shot it. You need to see it, all right,
Speaker 1: who's next, Billy Baker? Baker? How are you Baker?
Speaker 5: Hey? How's it going? Brother?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 5: I'm doing great, doing well, doing well? Man.
Speaker 1: Good at your birthday. That's awesome, Happy birthday.
Speaker 10: It's my birthday. I don't even know what's better, honestly,
Speaker 10: the way game winner man, or just cal losing the
Speaker 10: old miss Bro. So I don't know how much choose.
Speaker 1: Now the way games winner better. Look, I was pulling
Speaker 1: for old Miss and I'm not gonna like like I wasn't,
Speaker 1: but it's still better for us to win. You know this,
Speaker 1: this is an awesome win.
Speaker 10: You know, I was watching the game with my little brothers. Man,
Speaker 10: we were just going crazy down in our basement, and
Speaker 10: you know, whenever we were down by one, I just
Speaker 10: sudden like this is a pretty crappy start for a birthday.
Speaker 10: Then he hit that game winner. All our members, you know,
Speaker 10: just running outside taking my shirt off and almost getting
Speaker 10: hit by a car on Todd's road.
Speaker 1: Man, so well, try not to get a hit by
Speaker 1: a car with your shirt off on Todd's road. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: glad you had a good time and big win and
Speaker 1: happy birthday.
Speaker 10: Sir, Yes, sir, appreciation man, go cassirow Bro.
Speaker 1: I hope so eight five nine two eight zero twenty
Speaker 1: two eighty seven. This has been quite a day. I
Speaker 1: mean we started at ten roof pregame show started at
Speaker 1: nine am and there just to give you a scene
Speaker 1: for those of you that are not in Nashville. There
Speaker 1: are a ton of Kentucky fans here. I suspect there
Speaker 1: might even be more here tomorrow. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: now this is what I would say if you are
Speaker 1: in Kentucky and you had all wonder, you ought to come,
Speaker 1: even if you don't end up going into the game,
Speaker 1: because you know it is it can be hard to
Speaker 1: get tickets. There are you know ten roof is playing
Speaker 1: the game with the sound uh if you you know,
Speaker 1: if you're in Lexington, go to kspart like, go to
Speaker 1: somewhere collective and kind of feel the energy. Because one
Speaker 1: of the things I do think is special about this
Speaker 1: team is regardless of what happens tomorrow or what happens
Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament, there is a love for this
Speaker 1: team that is really strong. And the cynicism that tends
Speaker 1: to happen over time probably what happens to every coach
Speaker 1: and will happen to Mark Pope. It hasn't happened yet
Speaker 1: with this group, right, and so this is kind of
Speaker 1: a special, special one to be around. And if you
Speaker 1: if you have if you live close to Nashville, just
Speaker 1: take a drive and come here. Even if you don't
Speaker 1: even go up to the games. I think you'll enjoy
Speaker 1: just being in the city and being in the vibes.
Speaker 1: And plus the bad weather doesn't get here on Saturday.
Speaker 1: So next, Nathan, Nathan, Go ahead, Nathan.
Speaker 5: I'm at how you doing doing good?
Speaker 9: I have been up for thirty six hours, no sleep.
Speaker 9: I drew up from Tuscalusa this morning, was at the
Speaker 9: pregame show and man, I am on adrenaline. That game
Speaker 9: was something else.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you got up so you didn't sleep
Speaker 1: last night? You came from Tuscaloosa straight to the pregame
Speaker 1: show this morning? I do, I do.
Speaker 9: I go to school at Alabama, but I'm Blee Blue
Speaker 9: and I have not slept on driving back right out,
Speaker 9: I'm at BUCkies. And I went to the CHU tournament
Speaker 9: last two years and it.
Speaker 10: Left the Fountain time out.
Speaker 1: But man, it was worth it this year. Wow. So
Speaker 1: what time did you get up this morning to come
Speaker 1: from Tuscaloosa for there for the show? This morning?
Speaker 9: I left Tuscoots at one am. I got to Nashville
Speaker 9: at four thirty, got a line at six thirty, and yeah,
Speaker 9: I've been riding the day ever since. Went the bull
Speaker 9: sessions and I'm not gonna the line.
Speaker 11: When when I shot.
Speaker 9: That Oklahoma hit, I walked out of the arena, I said, I.
Speaker 1: Can't do it.
Speaker 9: So I looked to the monitor. I saw it was
Speaker 9: Tega driving to the basket. I ran my butt to
Speaker 9: the entrance of like where you can see, and I
Speaker 9: just saw everyone go crazy.
Speaker 12: Man, it was something else.
Speaker 1: Wow, well that is awesome, dude. First of all, you
Speaker 1: saw maybe the best day of the SEC Tournament ever.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure. Yeah, Mississippi, Missippi State, Missouri
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: quite as good, but you saw you know, a buzzer
Speaker 1: beater in the Arkansas game, double overtime in the Texas game,
Speaker 1: and then this one might be the best SEC Tournament
Speaker 1: day with four games ever in its history. I think
Speaker 1: that was probably worth the drive. Man, be careful going
Speaker 1: back to tuscalo Think about that.
Speaker 8: Appreciate thank you.
Speaker 1: Think about that, Hovey, Brian, that's a young person thing, right,
Speaker 1: Get up, leave your house at one am from Tuscaloosa,
Speaker 1: driving to Nashville, getting line at six thirty for the
Speaker 1: KSR show. And now he's driving back to Tuscaloosa in
Speaker 1: the middle of the hashtag driven that's exactly right. That
Speaker 1: is a young person thing. It's starting to look red. Hubby,
Speaker 1: look at that. Now, that's a that's a blood moon
Speaker 1: right there? That is a that's a that's a blood moon.
Speaker 1: Who's next, Matt?
Speaker 3: He was ready to leave. Did you have any issues
Speaker 3: watching the end of that game? I know you normally have.
Speaker 1: I watched, well, you know, all my friends are here
Speaker 1: and we were all watching it, so I thought it
Speaker 1: would be wimpy for me to go and get in
Speaker 1: the shower. But I would have if I was by myself,
Speaker 1: I would have because I you know, I never felt
Speaker 1: good about it. I won't say who. I had a
Speaker 1: couple of people in this group say it's over. I
Speaker 1: never felt good about it. We missed a couple one
Speaker 1: and we missed like we had two free throws a
Speaker 1: couple of times, only made one. I really started to
Speaker 1: feel bad when Amari turned it over when we were
Speaker 1: up seven, and Amari turned it over and made it
Speaker 1: a five point game. I in the old car then
Speaker 1: had two free throws and he only made one, which
Speaker 1: keeps in a two possession game. Yeah, I never felt
Speaker 1: great about it. Now, I didn't suspect we'd be down one.
Speaker 1: But I mean, let's appreciate that shot. Oh way, mate,
Speaker 1: by the way left handed. If you go back and look,
Speaker 1: he is under the backboard when he takes that shot.
Speaker 1: That is an amazing shot he had and to do
Speaker 1: it the way he did. I will say this though, Billy,
Speaker 1: would you like a little secret that I'm only gonna
Speaker 1: say here. I'm not gonna say this Toime.
Speaker 3: I would love a two forty eight in the morning secret.
Speaker 1: So you know, Butler went out of the game with
Speaker 1: twelve minutes to go in the first half, and then
Speaker 1: they didn't mention it on the TV broadcast the whole time.
Speaker 1: So Tyler Thompson tweeted that he'd gone to locker room.
Speaker 1: But if you were only watching the game on TV
Speaker 1: as most of you listening work, they didn't even mention it.
Speaker 1: And they were talking about how Kentucky was doing this
Speaker 1: and doing that and not doing that, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: are they not gonna note that the point guard is
Speaker 1: out and is in the locker room. So, Billy, with
Speaker 1: a minute and a half to go, I just texted
Speaker 1: Jimmy Dion him I did, and I go Jimmy Lamont
Speaker 1: Butler is in the locker room and not playing Like
Speaker 1: I was like, how come you aren't mentioning it? And
Speaker 1: then like forty five seconds later he mentioned yes shortly
Speaker 1: after podcast and he sends me a thumbs up.
Speaker 3: Oh, it was definitely you. Then I don't if he
Speaker 3: said thumbs up.
Speaker 1: I know, of course. I think like I think from
Speaker 1: this condo Airbnb in Nashville, I think I was the
Speaker 1: one that told Jimmy Dykes that Lamon Butler was not
Speaker 1: in the game. Wow. So I can say that at
Speaker 1: two forty eight in the morning. But we'll just leave
Speaker 1: that between us. Who's next, Garrett, Garrett? How are you? Garrett?
Speaker 12: Hey man? How it's going for that a long time?
Speaker 1: Who are What's up?
Speaker 4: Archie?
Speaker 12: Glad that we have a coach that cares about winning
Speaker 12: in the SEC tournament. We don't have somebody who loses
Speaker 12: the ole miss when they choke the game.
Speaker 1: Well we almost choked. But I do love that he said.
Speaker 12: Well, well we did choke because we have a real
Speaker 12: coach that cares about winning the game. We don't have
Speaker 12: somebody like Cali Perry that tells Brazil to missiles last
Speaker 12: second throws.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. That he told him that, but
Speaker 1: but I appreciate the call. I do love that after
Speaker 1: the game, you can tell how much it means to Pope.
Speaker 1: He sat there and said in that interview if you
Speaker 1: haven't seen it on the SEC network, he had that
Speaker 1: interview where he talked about how special it was to
Speaker 1: him to win. You know, I'm sure in that moment,
Speaker 1: Cal wanted Brazil to make him, but Pope really wants
Speaker 1: to win games here. And you know, let's be real,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for us to win this tournament,
Speaker 1: especially now that we don't have Butler. But we got
Speaker 1: this one, and this is, uh, this is I think
Speaker 1: a really big win for the fan base. I actually
Speaker 1: think this is a really big win for the span,
Speaker 1: especially if Lamont Butler's out for the year. I think
Speaker 1: this will be one the fan base holds on too
Speaker 1: for a long time, to be honest with you, especially
Speaker 1: how it played out. If we had won that game
Speaker 1: by eleven, it would have been nice. But oddly, I
Speaker 1: think it'll be bigger to people because we gave up
Speaker 1: the lead and then hit the hit the game win.
Speaker 3: Well, if they would have lost like that, it'd been
Speaker 3: a little toxic.
Speaker 1: Don't you think, yeah, it wouldn't have been good, but
Speaker 1: let's not think about it, and I mean it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been good. I agree. I also say my friend
Speaker 1: Dwayne spoiled the game because my friend Dwayne was looking
Speaker 1: at his phone and you know, if you watch it
Speaker 1: on YouTube TV, it's like a minute behind. He was
Speaker 1: looking on his phone, and right before they inbounded it,
Speaker 1: he just looked at me and goes, it's gonna be alright,
Speaker 1: you got it. I promise you he did.
Speaker 3: Did he really?
Speaker 1: Yes, he spoiled it. He just looked at me and goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be alright, you got it, boo.
Speaker 1: But it made it to where I wasn't as nervous
Speaker 1: because I was like, we already. But he did spoil
Speaker 1: the ing of the game. But he's a Tennessee fan.
Speaker 1: What do you expect? Who's next? John? John? Go ahead? John?
Speaker 11: All right, Matt, how about our Tattenham Hotspur finally winning
Speaker 11: a game?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Ark Wildcats also winning their first SEC tournament games is
Speaker 11: twenty nineteen on the same night as there's a good
Speaker 11: board moon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, we noted that early. Now it's really
Speaker 1: red like you can actually see the red right now.
Speaker 11: And I'm up here. I'm up here in eastern Kentucky
Speaker 11: and it's kind of cloudy and we can't see it,
Speaker 11: but you can see like a light red tent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you can see it. I couldn't see it
Speaker 1: like it's It didn't look red to me, but now
Speaker 1: it looks a little it looks a little red. You're right.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Sorry, it's cloudy and eastern.
Speaker 11: Stars are aligning. The stars are a line.
Speaker 1: Of they are, Andy Basher, you know what he ought
Speaker 1: to do. I appreciate it because remember Louisville one on
Speaker 1: a buzzer beater today too, Andy Basheer should just by
Speaker 1: executive order, just cancel work tomorrow in Kentucky, right he should, like,
Speaker 1: why not Louisville one on a buzzer beater. We are
Speaker 1: one on a buzzer beater, both teams tomorrow night. Just
Speaker 1: cancel work. Who's going?
Speaker 5: My?
Speaker 1: I mean, I've learned in the last two and a
Speaker 1: half months people can do a lot of things you
Speaker 1: didn't think they can do. So why can't he just
Speaker 1: cancel work in Kentucky tomorrow? Who's next?
Speaker 3: Jimmy?
Speaker 1: Jimmy How are you, Jimmy, I'm wonderful. Matt, how are
Speaker 1: you doing good?
Speaker 13: Actually, man a, I'm I'm a first time caller, but
Speaker 13: my wife's a long time listener. She's from Wilmore and
Speaker 13: I got to say in twenty fourteen when we got together,
Speaker 13: she adopted the Cubs and I adopted the UK, and
Speaker 13: everybody said that I got the winner, and you did
Speaker 13: you get the win? Cubs? We got the winner. But
Speaker 13: now it's the first time I'm able to truly embrace
Speaker 13: a UK team, being a childhood nineties from Chicago. What
Speaker 13: Oway did tonight that final reverse lay up with that
Speaker 13: left hand? Jordan asked, my man.
Speaker 1: That is great. So you you were not a Kentucky
Speaker 1: fan until you married your wife and now you.
Speaker 13: Are, Yes, sir, Yeah, No, I went to a culinary
Speaker 13: school and we didn't even have a debate team.
Speaker 1: Well good, Well, first of all, it's nice to have you. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you're ever in Lexington, come say hello at the
Speaker 1: bar and enjoy a big celebration. We appreciate your call.
Speaker 13: We saw you at the bar for the South Carolina game.
Speaker 13: My man, we were there. You guys got great wing sauce.
Speaker 13: Highly recommend the wings at ks are.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you very much. I appreciate it a
Speaker 1: f I've nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: There's some great videos and stuff on my me Ma,
Speaker 1: who was on the show yesterday. She's with Oway's parents
Speaker 1: she met after the game. Uh, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: just cool videos backstage and everything else to celebrate af
Speaker 1: I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven. Let's take a break.
Speaker 1: It is nearly three in the morning. Billy, are you
Speaker 1: even going to go home? Because you have the pre
Speaker 1: show it now?
Speaker 3: I got to decide that. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do.
Speaker 1: I saw your wife told you just to staying down there,
Speaker 1: so maybe you should. I'm making Ryan and Drew Shannon
Speaker 1: come to this house tomorrow. I was like, because they're
Speaker 1: already in bed.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm surprised here tonight.
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, you're there coming. I'm making them come here tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Be right back. It's the Local
Speaker 1: Toy Dealers KSR Post game Show. Welcome back. It is
Speaker 1: the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Billy just told
Speaker 1: me during the break that Jack Gibbons said that the
Speaker 1: injury to Butler was a little bit of a different
Speaker 1: injury than he had last time. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's good or bad. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: it's probably not good, but I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know now. During the break, Hubby and Brian told me
Speaker 1: they were going to bed, and I said, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to go to bed. I came outside to sit
Speaker 1: here and look at this moon with you all. So
Speaker 1: you're finishing this thirty minutes because it's now red, it's
Speaker 1: magenta and uh, and we are going to stay out
Speaker 1: here together. Then Mario said I gotta go. I assumed
Speaker 1: he was whipping out and going to bed. And Mario,
Speaker 1: you're going to the bar. It is three am, son,
Speaker 1: Where are you going? What time the bar's closing? Nashville?
Speaker 1: Don't aren't they closed? Like the one you're going to
Speaker 1: is Wait, maite, you go into like an after hours club? Wait?
Speaker 1: Where are you going? It's two am local time. You're
Speaker 1: going out right now. I'm telling you better not wake
Speaker 1: me up when you when you come back. If you
Speaker 1: wake me up, all right, get out of here, go
Speaker 1: to your bar. Be careful. I feel like I'm his
Speaker 1: dad telling him where's he going if I'm nine two
Speaker 1: eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Heather?
Speaker 1: Heather, go ahead, Heather. Heather's back. Oh, Heather's back. How
Speaker 1: are you, Heather?
Speaker 14: It's me, It's me.
Speaker 1: It's either b Okay, So is the fact that we
Speaker 1: won the game all last second shot and we've got
Speaker 1: the blood moon? Does this mean you've forgiven Billy?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 14: Yes, I told he's been.
Speaker 1: Okay, good see, we're all on the same side here, Hea,
Speaker 1: good glad to hear it. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 14: And that failure that said it was cloudy and they's
Speaker 14: drinking tukey. I don't know where he's at, but here
Speaker 14: in Pyte County I can see it plain as day.
Speaker 1: So good. Well, I'm glad you. I'm glad you can't.
Speaker 14: And one thing that stuck out that made me mad
Speaker 14: as carn is they did not call the fowl when
Speaker 14: Chandler got elbowed and he had like the blood Tyler
Speaker 14: Tyler ewis, Yeah, that's right, squawk. And then Brea and
Speaker 14: Oway combined for forty nine points.
Speaker 1: So that's amazing. Well, we're gonna need him to keep
Speaker 1: doing it, Heather, I mean, without without Butler, without Robinson,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have more of those nights from
Speaker 1: those guys, probably, yes.
Speaker 14: And I got chills listening to Mario. We'll a goo
Speaker 14: just talking about the end of the game. So I
Speaker 14: don't know how anybody is supposed to go sleep tonight.
Speaker 14: I wish I was in nice with everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I wish you were too. Thank you, Heather,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I appreciate the car. We should talk
Speaker 1: a second about it officiating, because I know that's you know,
Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show, I don't like to
Speaker 1: talk about officiating. I will say, however, you know, most
Speaker 1: of the calls. Most of the calls were what you know,
Speaker 1: there were we got some bad ones.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: They didn't call the foul though on Garrison when he
Speaker 1: threw that gull on the ground. I will say, though,
Speaker 1: if you go back and look when it was eighty
Speaker 1: three eighty and we were up three and Car got
Speaker 1: trapped in that corner, that that that's crime. They didn't
Speaker 1: call that. I mean, he got grabbed and they took
Speaker 1: the ball, and let I mean, if they call that foul,
Speaker 1: and even if he just makes one, game's probably over.
Speaker 1: Instead they don't call it. They come down and get
Speaker 1: the layup. You got to call that was a That
Speaker 1: was a really really bad miss call down the straight stretch.
Speaker 1: You cannot let him just grab him and take the
Speaker 1: ball from him. Now, the second turnover that Oway made,
Speaker 1: that was just on him, and I I gotta say
Speaker 1: to Mark Pope, hey man, you got to call time
Speaker 1: out all right. Your team was clearly out of swords.
Speaker 1: You've got to call time out. And why was Amari
Speaker 1: in the game when we were up seven and he
Speaker 1: turned it over? I mean, I know Amari does that
Speaker 1: point center thing, but he can't be the dude in
Speaker 1: a press to bring the ball. He's not even a
Speaker 1: good free throw shooter, So why are you inbounding it
Speaker 1: to him? He's gonna get fat. He's not even a
Speaker 1: good free throw shooter. He should and then Pope didn't
Speaker 1: have him in the rest of the game, But why
Speaker 1: is he in right there? So I was a little
Speaker 1: frustrated at the decision to have a Mari in to
Speaker 1: inbound it to him because Amaro didn't really have a
Speaker 1: good game, and then not call time out after that
Speaker 1: like that was I mean, those are big time questions.
Speaker 1: If we had one would have been a big part
Speaker 1: of the show. Thankfully we did win, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And shout out to my mom. First of all, shout
Speaker 1: out to my friends Hubie and Brian for sitting up
Speaker 1: here with me at three am. Also shout out to
Speaker 1: my mom who is listening in Middlesborough, Kentucky right now
Speaker 1: at three am. How nice is that look? Thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Love you mom. Who's next? Soul Train? Soul Trained?
Speaker 1: How are you going? Oh Matt Jones, what's going on? Oh?
Speaker 15: Man? That game was unbelievable, I tell you, I mean
Speaker 15: always saved the day once again. I'm over here saying, oh, Spaghettios,
Speaker 15: you know the double o's, you know, I mean we're
Speaker 15: double z bow. You know, he was, he was the man.
Speaker 15: But like, one thing I noticed from this game, Kentucky
Speaker 15: has to have a killer instinct. I know where you
Speaker 15: know Lamont Butler you know, has some issues with his
Speaker 15: shoulder and where. And we're without Jackson Robinson for the year.
Speaker 15: But like, we got the potential to win the SEC.
Speaker 15: And call me crazy, but I also believe we have
Speaker 15: everything that we need to have to win Banner number
Speaker 15: nine in the NCAA.
Speaker 1: Let's just let's be let's try to beat Alabama tomor
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we got we only have nine guys.
Speaker 1: We only have nine healthy players, and three of them
Speaker 1: are guys who probably didn't wo probably didn't even think
Speaker 1: they were gonna play this year, uh with Chandler Perry
Speaker 1: and so that's three of the city. I mean, Colin
Speaker 1: Chandler went from and I appreciate the call. Nice hearing
Speaker 1: from you Soul Train four weeks ago, Colin Chandler didn't
Speaker 1: ever get in too. He's gonna be the starting point
Speaker 1: guard it gets to Alabama. So I just want you
Speaker 1: to think about that for a second. He didn't even
Speaker 1: play four weeks ago. He was not even getting off
Speaker 1: the bench. And he is going to start at point
Speaker 1: guard against Mark Sears tomorrow night in Nashville. That's kind
Speaker 1: of amazing. These two will know this guy even if
Speaker 1: nobody else does. Carry Bruce just wrote in at three am,
Speaker 1: I'm watching the moon. It's an awesome night. I gave
Speaker 1: it hell tonight, love you guys. I'm listening on iHeart.
Speaker 1: Thank you Carry Bryce. So we had a good time
Speaker 1: with you tonight. Who's next? Hunter? How are you Hunter?
Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 8: Hunter, Matt Billy, how are we doing tonight.
Speaker 1: We're doing great.
Speaker 16: Hey, it's one am over here in northern Unfortunately, I'm
Speaker 16: we're in a little bit of snowstorm, so can't see
Speaker 16: that blood man tonight. So look at a little extra
Speaker 16: hard for me.
Speaker 1: I will do it.
Speaker 16: Two comments and then question as far as like, you know,
Speaker 16: this game is fantastic start to finish, Even when we
Speaker 16: were up eleven, I just had this gut feeling that,
Speaker 16: you know, we weren't. This game was far from over.
Speaker 16: My dad, I was fortunate enough that this is the
Speaker 16: first time the season that me, my brother, and my
Speaker 16: dad were all able to watch the game in one
Speaker 16: place at the same time. And that is just a
Speaker 16: huge special moment for me. He's always working constantly and
Speaker 16: so like, you know, this season's almost over. Like you know,
Speaker 16: nothing is guaranteed. This could be the last game. This
Speaker 16: could be the last win of the season. Hopefully not.
Speaker 1: It could be, but I think that's important to say.
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be because I think we'll
Speaker 1: be a three seed. I think we'll win that first
Speaker 1: round game. But you're right, this could be the last
Speaker 1: one of the season, and I do hope people soak
Speaker 1: it up because I do think this is one. I mean,
Speaker 1: when when you're listing the great SEC tournament moments for Kentucky,
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be on it. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: up there with you know, Rhodes missing the free throws
Speaker 1: but we still win the game, Wall and Cousins right,
Speaker 1: the Tyler Euless performance, Dominie Halkins, like all those things
Speaker 1: that we've said over the years. I think this game
Speaker 1: is gonna be up there. I think people are gonna
Speaker 1: remember it like that.
Speaker 16: Exactly. And that's and that's the biggest thing. Means like,
Speaker 16: what a what a win to go off on If
Speaker 16: this is the last one is insane. My question for
Speaker 16: you is, I did a lot of reflection about this season.
Speaker 16: Is this the biggest what if team in the season?
Speaker 16: What if we had all the injuries that didn't have injuries?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the biggest. I mean, I
Speaker 1: still think for me, my biggest what ifs are always
Speaker 1: gonna be what if Poythrist didn't get hurt in twenty fifteen?
Speaker 1: What if Keith Bogan's didn't get hurt in two thousand
Speaker 1: and three? Those are probably the two they'll sit with me.
Speaker 1: Some people say, Derek Anderson in ninety seven, although we
Speaker 1: still made championship game. But this one's gonna be I mean,
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be one for sure. I mean, if
Speaker 1: we lose Lamontte Butler, you're losing arguably your two best players,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, at least on at least on
Speaker 1: paper before the season started. Oway has certainly risen up
Speaker 1: the up the charts. But yeah, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: what if. But you know, I think this team is
Speaker 1: overperformed as is, and so you know, whereas in O
Speaker 1: three and fifteen and even ninety seven, I think those
Speaker 1: were championship contending teams. I don't know if this one was.
Speaker 1: But it will be a what if team, But it's
Speaker 1: not over. I appreciate the call. You know, let's use
Speaker 1: the bracketology right now. Can this group of guys right
Speaker 1: here beat Utah Valley, Illinois and Texas Tech and get
Speaker 1: to the Elite eight? Yes they can. They can't. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they will, but they can't. Now can they
Speaker 1: beat Duke Auburn, Alabama, UH, Florida Houston. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they can do that. We'll find out one tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: But can they still do something yeah, I think they can. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not giving up yet. Let's do one
Speaker 1: more and we'll take our final break. Who's that, Sean, Sean,
Speaker 1: how are you showing?
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt As y'all were just saying, this does fall
Speaker 5: into that you know, lore of sec great wins and stuff,
Speaker 5: and the thing that I think what you were touching on.
Speaker 5: We've got to stay this is a huge night. We've
Speaker 5: got to not worry about what's going to happen tomorrow
Speaker 5: or next week, because who knows what's going to you know,
Speaker 5: maybe Butler's is going to be back for the tournament
Speaker 5: or whatever, and we do. You know, these moments don't
Speaker 5: come very often, and we've definitely had a drought with it.
Speaker 5: And we played well for the first thirty eight minutes.
Speaker 1: I agree, that's.
Speaker 5: Probably that, but that last two minutes we probably hadn't
Speaker 5: had that combination of players in that situation all probably not.
Speaker 5: It's not like we were able to practice that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that's I want to let me
Speaker 1: go before I let you finish. Let me go on
Speaker 1: that point at the end of the game, once he
Speaker 1: just took Amari out because of that turnover, I want
Speaker 1: you to think about who was in the game at
Speaker 1: that point. The lineup was Oway, Chandler, Noah, Car and
Speaker 1: almondor or Car and Bray. Excuse me, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I bet that group doesn't even run together in practice ever,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, that's just not a
Speaker 1: group that's probably ever on the court together. So I
Speaker 1: think you're exactly right. You got to say, well, nice,
Speaker 1: it was a great, great fit. You know, it's great
Speaker 1: that we won, considering that.
Speaker 5: Exactly we survive, We get to play a little bit
Speaker 5: later on today here and now that group we'll have
Speaker 5: us some time if they are back in that situation again.
Speaker 5: But uh, with and everybody's been talking about the moon.
Speaker 5: Starting with the twelve minute time out, I would go
Speaker 5: outside on the patio and it was a beautiful moon,
Speaker 5: and then I just watched the eclipse. With each time
Speaker 5: out there helped ease the tension of the of the game,
Speaker 5: there by following the progress of that. But like I said,
Speaker 5: we just need to take a deep breath and enjoy,
Speaker 5: you know, enjoy, Totally agree, it's a fantastic morning.
Speaker 1: Totally agree. Appreciate the call you This is one to
Speaker 1: enjoy because you don't. I mean, we've only won one
Speaker 1: of these games at the SEC Tournament in five years,
Speaker 1: and one in Nashville since twenty nineteen, so we should
Speaker 1: take a second enjoy it. All right, We're gonna take
Speaker 1: our final break. The moon is fully eclipsed, it is red,
Speaker 1: and we will be back and take the final group
Speaker 1: of calls. Probably gonna be a little bit short, but
Speaker 1: give us a break. It's three ten, and I got
Speaker 1: another show coming up in six hours and fifty minutes.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break and be right back. It's a
Speaker 1: Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show, walking back. It is
Speaker 1: the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show Final segment EF.
Speaker 1: I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One
Speaker 1: person on the text machine seven seven two seven seven
Speaker 1: four five two five four says, is Mario the new
Speaker 1: Drew going out this time of morning and then waking
Speaker 1: up in time of the show. Maybe maybe Drew is
Speaker 1: the new Matt. Matt is new Ryan? And Ryan is
Speaker 1: just in an old folks home.
Speaker 3: But aren't the bars closed this late?
Speaker 1: Like? Where is Yeah? But I asked him where the bar?
Speaker 1: I asked him if the bars are closed? And he said,
Speaker 1: not the one I'm going to. So that's the kind
Speaker 1: of thing Drew just said ten years ago. Ten years ago,
Speaker 1: Drew would have given me that answer. So, uh so,
Speaker 1: Mario's a new Drew. I think a twenty two eighty seven. Well,
Speaker 1: actually you don't even need that. Well, we have five
Speaker 1: six on right now, at six on all six we'll
Speaker 1: just finish it up with these. Who's up first, Luke, Luke,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Luke.
Speaker 17: Hey, Matt, I am headed back from Nashville. I got
Speaker 17: off work, it's a little after five, hopped on the internet,
Speaker 17: looked at tickets, and I was like for hoops and gigs.
Speaker 17: I called the old man. We drove, flew down to Nashville,
Speaker 17: made it from Etown to Nashville in an hour and
Speaker 17: a half. Never done it that fast. But being there
Speaker 17: was amazing and it was just absolutely outstanding. I had
Speaker 17: a dude at one point in the skyboxes behind me
Speaker 17: throw a piece of ice at me and tell me
Speaker 17: to sit down.
Speaker 11: So I told him to kiss my ass.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and I think it's an appropriate response. But I
Speaker 17: want to say one thing, one other thing real quick,
Speaker 17: and that is otega Oway that there was a time
Speaker 17: early in the season that we questioned it this team was,
Speaker 17: you know, physically tough, and obviously that was that was not.
Speaker 17: Really that's a question that is more than an answered.
Speaker 17: They're obviously tough, but I think also the mental toughness.
Speaker 17: Ohway made an obvious mistake right before that to give
Speaker 17: them the lead turning that ball over, But to have
Speaker 17: the mental toughness to go back into the huddle, to
Speaker 17: calm down, come out and have the concentration and focus
Speaker 17: to know exactly how much times on o'clock to get
Speaker 17: downhill and to make a very very difficult shot that
Speaker 17: is really really impressive to me. And I think that's
Speaker 17: part of the reason that they've been able to survive
Speaker 17: and play as well as they have with all these injuries,
Speaker 17: is that this team is mentally tough. And that starts
Speaker 17: with the coach, and that starts with the culture that
Speaker 17: Mark Pope has built. And I've always said this season
Speaker 17: to me, if you make the Sweet sixteen, I'm celebrating
Speaker 17: like it's a final four. I now feel like, just
Speaker 17: get to the round of thirty two, roll the balls
Speaker 17: out and see what happens, assuming that is out for
Speaker 17: the rest of.
Speaker 1: The agree with all that, and I think you make
Speaker 1: a great point. I appreciate the call. I think your
Speaker 1: whole point about Oway is great. I mean, this team
Speaker 1: is I think Oway and Carr have both been very tough,
Speaker 1: but Oway especially, I mean, he just takes hit after
Speaker 1: hit and keeps going. I don't know that Oway is
Speaker 1: the most talented player in the world, but he's got
Speaker 1: a ton of heart and he puts the team on
Speaker 1: his shoulders. And uh, you know, I mean that shot
Speaker 1: was amazing. But you're exactly right. He made three bad
Speaker 1: plays in like the last twenty seconds. I mean the past,
Speaker 1: the car, the turnover, and then he got burned by
Speaker 1: fears on the defensive end. He put all that to
Speaker 1: the side, drove and scored the winning play. That's toughness,
Speaker 1: right there. Five more. Who's next, Garrett, Garrett? Go ahead, Garrett.
Speaker 18: Hey, Matt, big fan of the show.
Speaker 10: A couple of things.
Speaker 19: Have you ever been to Wingo, Kentucky?
Speaker 1: I have not been to Wingo, Kentucky. Where is it
Speaker 1: West Graves County? Okay? No, I haven't been there?
Speaker 18: Yes, Okay, Well, two weeks ago I was in my
Speaker 18: baby moon in Orlando and Disney World and Otago Away
Speaker 18: hit the game winner and I woke up half of
Speaker 18: the hotel. Yeah, and so I'm debating on running by
Speaker 18: the wife and we can get Otaga as a middle name.
Speaker 1: Like that, you know, I feel like, why can't you?
Speaker 1: I think Otaga is a middle name, is a great
Speaker 1: middle name. I like it can what's the first name?
Speaker 1: Go be jet jet jet Otaga. That's quite a name.
Speaker 1: I tell you what you'll be. It'll be unique. You'll
Speaker 1: never meet another jet Otaga the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: So I say do it.
Speaker 18: And see, I'm gonna tell her We've got the Matt
Speaker 18: Jones blessing.
Speaker 1: And that's that should that should be one people one
Speaker 1: thing people know about me. I know how to name baby,
Speaker 1: So thank you very much. I appreciate the call. Jet
Speaker 1: Otaga is would be uh would be a great name.
Speaker 1: That's right. That tickled Hovey over there, although at three
Speaker 1: eighteen in the morning, I think anything would tickle Hoby
Speaker 1: four more. Who's next, Mariah? Mariah? How are you? Mariah?
Speaker 20: I'm good, all right?
Speaker 15: How are you good?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 20: First time? Short time? Oh So, I'm a Michigan State
Speaker 20: University Spartans fan, but I out from the Bloomington, Indiana area,
Speaker 20: listening in Barstown, Kentucky and Nelson County. Uh, my man
Speaker 20: and I we listened to y'all all the time. Back
Speaker 20: yesterday we were in the You're welcome. We were in
Speaker 20: the Lexington area for me the first time, so I'm
Speaker 20: not from Kentucky. And I told him. I was like, hey,
Speaker 20: you know, what'd be cool? Like, what's that? I said?
Speaker 20: I know I can't go inside, but it'd be nice
Speaker 20: to see Reperena where the Wildcats play, because let me
Speaker 20: tell you, I've been watching Kentucky and getting into it
Speaker 20: since they first did the whole Blue Madness.
Speaker 5: Thing, and I'm actually getting to I've.
Speaker 20: Been watching this more religiously than the Spartans game, so
Speaker 20: don't tell me about that. AnyWho. I was like, it'd
Speaker 20: be nice to see Raperena. So he took me. We
Speaker 20: went out of our way and he took me to
Speaker 20: see Reparena for the first time in my life, and
Speaker 20: that was awesome. And then you take my call the
Speaker 20: next day.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy.
Speaker 20: I hurt my voice and I may or may not
Speaker 20: have shed some tears, but well, thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and I hope you and your Naan
Speaker 1: enjoyed the game and I'll cheer for the Spartans. I
Speaker 1: like Tom Izzoh, so I appreciate the call. Go Spartans,
Speaker 1: Go Cats three more. Who's next? Rex, Rex, go ahead, Rex?
Speaker 19: Hey, Matt, first time, long time?
Speaker 1: Who what's up?
Speaker 19: So I'm calling from Dallas, Texas, and I got a
Speaker 19: lot of O you and Arkansas fans that live here
Speaker 19: because they couldn't get into Texas A and m or ut,
Speaker 19: all right, and so I've been dealing with a lot
Speaker 19: of that and I'm hoping they're going to enjoy their
Speaker 19: game out in Dayton. But I just wanted to give
Speaker 19: a shout out to Ed and Karen and then lastly,
Speaker 19: love what Pope's doing. Got a little nervous at the end.
Speaker 19: Gave me kind of flashbacks of cal But I know
Speaker 19: we don't want to get into that, and I think
Speaker 19: he's doing a great job.
Speaker 5: But that was kind of nerve ruck intend.
Speaker 1: So that was wrecky, and I think he'll and I
Speaker 1: appreciate the call, and I think he'll probably look go
Speaker 1: back and look at that tape when the tournament's over
Speaker 1: and kind of read just because that was a poor
Speaker 1: that that was really poor. I mean, starting with when
Speaker 1: we were when they oway had a really really bad foul.
Speaker 1: When it was like we were up ten or eleven,
Speaker 1: he reached. There was no reason to reach there, and
Speaker 1: he did. I thought the continuation and one. I mean,
Speaker 1: they started calling that in college and allowing that they
Speaker 1: didn't used to do that. I'm kind of surprised with that.
Speaker 1: But then it really started collapsing up seven when they
Speaker 1: inbounded the ball to Amary. I still don't even know
Speaker 1: why he was in. I don't know why they inbounded it.
Speaker 1: It fell apart after that, and I think they need
Speaker 1: to go back and evaluate before the NCAA tournament. They
Speaker 1: don't have time to do it before tomorrow. So now
Speaker 1: you just put it behind you and we go do
Speaker 1: the best we can against Alabama.
Speaker 3: Who's next, Darryl?
Speaker 1: Darryl? Two more?
Speaker 5: We got Darryl hey Man. I appreciate you guys, what
Speaker 5: you guys are doing for us at Big Blue Mation.
Speaker 5: And I'm outside right now here in Bagdad been taking
Speaker 5: some pictures of the blue moon. It's been a blessed
Speaker 5: night while.
Speaker 1: Then it's red in Nashville? Is it blue tonight?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm blue, but it's re red.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, dear good deal.
Speaker 5: But yeah, a great game and I think they'll I
Speaker 5: think they'll clobber Alabama.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you. Oh, there are five and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite DraftKings just released the line, so five
Speaker 1: and a half points. Hopefully we'll be able to get
Speaker 1: it done. Thank you very much for the call. Let's

Speaker 5: Are you? Or are you not?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 9: Some?
Speaker 1: Yeah, occasionally I certainly have my get the shower moments.
Speaker 8: My biggest question I have. I had my own superstition
Speaker 8: I did for tonight. But why have you not called
Speaker 8: that dude doctor out west that had the incidence that
Speaker 8: Ryan got wet and not like had them overnight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but well, here's the thing, though, the first and
Speaker 1: second round of the NCAA Tournament might be in Denver
Speaker 1: and we might be out there to see him again.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Just to I thought
Speaker 1: about that we may be going back there, and if we.
Speaker 8: Do well, yeah, but what if we don't if we
Speaker 8: don't want.
Speaker 1: It, Well, yeah, I know that I can't remember. I
Speaker 1: can look it up, I can find it. But it's
Speaker 1: very it was a huge place. We'll find it. You
Speaker 1: don't worry about that. Let's just play Alabama tomorrow. I
