Speaker 5: Drew.

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: I watched you on TV sitting uh be, you know,

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: sitting right behind the camera acting like a big superstar,

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: and you got to see the best Brandon Garrison game

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: in the history of basketball.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: It was incredible. I actually I was Jerry Tipton yesterday.

46
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 6: I was the first person to the tournament they told

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 6: me what I got there. You're forty five minutes early.

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 6: Just stand outside and then you can come in. But

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 6: I will say I saw the team come in and

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 6: they were look kind of lazy tired. We all were.

51
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 6: But in the back of the line and I wrote this,

52
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 6: Brandon Garrison was bouncing off the walls.

53
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: Oh really, And I had a moment.

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 6: I didn't know he was gonna do that, but there

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 6: was a little bit like is it beg time? So

56
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 6: it was. He came in prepared when everybody else kind

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 6: of limped into the first game.

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: I think he saw bam Adebayo score eighty three points

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: and said, now it's my turn to do the same thing.

60
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: You know, yesterday on the show, I said that if

61
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: he scored double digits in any game in the SEC tournament,

62
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: I would ride.

63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: A bull and get up.

64
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 6: Let's go.

65
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Well we'll do it.

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just probably go try to get as far

67
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: in the tournament as I can before I do.

68
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: But he did it. It was a classic Brandon Garrison thing.

69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: He had a chance to get a dunk to get

70
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: double digits, missed it, then goes to the line for

71
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: two free throws, makes the first misses the second, and

72
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: I thought, Ryan, right, I'm good, He's not gonna have

73
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 3: to hit it. And then my man comes out and

74
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: hits the two biggest shots of the game. They might

75
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: end up being the two biggest shots of the tournament,

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: two threes to get to fifteen and honestly turned the

77
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: game around and got Kentucky that victory.

78
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 7: That's been the tale of Randon Garrison all season, Right,

79
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 7: missed that dunk and then come back hit back to

80
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 7: back three pointers. I mean, I think he took it

81
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 7: personal when you were throwing him shade on the radio

82
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 7: show yesterday.

83
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: I mean, how you let's be honest, how many people

84
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: really believe that the difference in that basketball game was

85
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: gonna be Brandon Garrison?

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: But it was. I mean, he you did who I

87
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: do well? Mario was the one, probably.

88
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: Mario's if Mario's correct, and tonight's Jasper Johnson's game.

89
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, here we go.

90
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 5: He played out of his mind.

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: Though we were talking yesterday on the show, you said,

92
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: give me some random player that could be the most

93
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: valuable this tournament for Kentucky. Maybe it's your guy BG.

94
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: The way he was playing yesterday, he's playing out of

95
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 4: his mind.

96
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.

97
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: What most importantly Kentucky got that win, I mean that

98
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: was it was LSU played really, really well, especially in

99
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: the first half.

100
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Kentucky's defense was bad the whole time.

101
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: I actually thought Kentucky played offensively pretty well, especially when

102
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: you consider that Chandler was not hitting shots. I actually

103
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: thought they did a pretty good job. But LSU stays

104
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: in and then the one little dude we could not

105
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: stop for about thirty five.

106
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: Minutes of the game.

107
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 6: When you're playing the sixteen seed, a lot of times

108
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: they just want to go home, they want to transfer,

109
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: their coaches getting fired. They're like, please let this season end.

110
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 6: And I walked into Bridgestone hoping we see that version

111
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: of LSU, but that was not the case. They came

112
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 6: in with some passion and tried to play for McMahon.

113
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 6: And you know, Kentucky was scoring, but they couldn't get stops.

114
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: And credit to LSU, they they brought the fight.

115
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: Well, I got to give the people here a big credit.

116
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: You got that was a big crowd for Kentucky yesterday.

117
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: For Wednesday at one o'clock. I mean I I actually was.

118
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: We weren't even here yet. We stopped and one of

119
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: my friends work at the game showed a picture. I

120
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: mean it was not full, but there was a big

121
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: Kentucky contingent that I was told six LSU fans in

122
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: the crowd.

123
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 6: I think that's an exaggeration. Like I said, I was

124
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: the first person in the building. I don't remember seeing one.

125
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: Well, there were two old guys. They kept showing on TV. Okay,

126
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: so I know they were there, but I think that

127
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: might have been in.

128
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: There were not many, yeah, I mean good crowd though

129
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: for a Wednesday, probably the most people that have ever

130
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: been there for the opening game of the SEC tournament.

131
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: Today, what do you think the crowd is going to be?

132
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: Like?

133
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: Do you think? I mean, I think a whole lot more.

134
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, I actually think so.

135
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: When yesterday during our pregame show, if you remember, I

136
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: looked at cheapest.

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: Tickets and they were eight dollars.

138
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: Today I just looked this morning it was forty six dollars.

139
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: So I think that means a lot more. And then

140
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: you know you've got going on here at the same session,

141
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Kentucky playing and then Tennessee Auburn.

142
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the second game.

143
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume there's a lot of Tennessee fans Auburn

144
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: sometimes travels decently. Well, I would suggest Ryan that today, well,

145
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: actually tonight, I think you'll be able to get in

146
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: any easy. But today I actually think will be a

147
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: decent ticket.

148
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this ticket for the afternoon session may

149
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 7: be hard to get a lot of fans that had

150
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 7: already planning coming down last night, now they're coming down

151
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 7: at a perfect time to see two good games this afternoon.

152
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I I'll look right here now.

153
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: I'm because Mario and I have credentials where we can't

154
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: even get on the floor.

155
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: Here, go ahead and brag about it. We can't get

156
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: out of the door. You can't get on the floor,

157
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 4: we can't get in the door.

158
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: The SEC tournament has now taken Well, first, Drew is

159
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: sitting right behind the camera.

160
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it turns out you're the first one there the

161
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 6: laced anywhere, and you.

162
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: Two are not even allowed in. So I'm just looking

163
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: right now.

164
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 3: It's well thirty nine dollars so that there are tickets available,

165
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: that they are all up top.

166
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna probably actually sit with the fans today.

167
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: You probably have a lot better time doing that too,

168
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: And then you know, press row sometimes all that is

169
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: cracked up to be at the time, hasn't been credentialed.

170
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 6: I got a brag on the crowd. I go to

171
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 6: every home game and Rupp's been great this year. If

172
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 6: you were at the Florida game, I know we didn't win,

173
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 6: but that was RUP's fastball. Rubb doesn't hold a candle too.

174
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 6: We agree.

175
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: It's so different. It is so different right here the

176
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: fans in Nashville.

177
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: This is the best of Big Blue Nation to yelp,

178
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's that's nothing against that's nothing against Repperena.

179
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: But the you get so loud. I mean. They asked

180
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: a couple of players yesterday.

181
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: They asked Colin Chandler, I think in the post game,

182
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: what's it like with the crowd, and he sort of

183
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: smiled and said, don't tell anybody, but this crowd's louder

184
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: than what we have at home.

185
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: And Ryan, I think that's completely correct.

186
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 8: Well, we talked about that. It's a different crowd.

187
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 7: These folks that aren't gonna make it the Upperena, save

188
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 7: their money, plan their vacation to come down here and

189
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 7: celebrate with the catch.

190
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 6: Every year.

191
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 8: We're long overdue for a celebration in this town.

192
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: So this is I think tonight is a big day.

193
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: But before we do that, let's go back to yesterday

194
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: and just talk about individual players. Oway did his regular

195
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty, you know, twenty eight point games. Big

196
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: thing for me about o way he hit the most

197
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: port and shot of the game. It's eighty, we're.

198
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: Up by five, there's a minute and a half left,

199
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: we're having trouble scoring.

200
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: Lsu has come back from twelve to five and he

201
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: hits that long two, which you know, I hate those shots,

202
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: but if anybody's gonna take them through, I don't mind

203
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: when Oway does.

204
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: He made a big win yesterday.

205
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 6: Didn't love it in the moment, but of course when

206
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 6: you hit that pull up jumper like that. Lsu was

207
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 6: kind of sagging off. You know, he's going right, he's

208
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 6: driving to the lane and they wanted him to take

209
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 6: that shot, and he pulled up and he looked right

210
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 6: at Mark Pope and kind of gave a celebration, kind

211
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 6: of a bang there. So that was a huge dagger

212
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 6: for Oway and just another great game by him and Aberdeen.

213
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 6: They're just the consistency.

214
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: Aberdeen I thought played really well.

215
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: Didn't score in the first half, but then in the

216
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: second half, was able to get some big buckets, made

217
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 3: free throws when he needed to down the stretch. And then,

218
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you have to talk about Brandon Garrison eighteen points,

219
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: but hey, not.

220
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: Just eighteen points.

221
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: Played twenty seven minutes for me, didn't do anything two

222
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: stupid most of the game, which makes me very happy.

223
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: Threw a great pass towards the end of the game,

224
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: and I played decent defense. You know, right, Not only

225
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: was that his best game. I'm not gonna say can

226
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: he do it all the time, because he can't, but

227
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: I will say that was the most consistent game he's

228
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: had since he's been at Kentucky.

229
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 7: And then in of it, you know, Malachai got in

230
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 7: foul trouble early, so he struggled. He did struggle, but

231
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 7: bgw me, he's going to get a lot of minutes.

232
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 7: Comes in and immediately had a couple of those hook

233
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 7: shots in the lane to start off with, and I

234
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 7: got him going.

235
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: See those hook shots shing. I mean, that was like

236
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: old school. He reminded me of those hook shots of

237
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: a Jamal mcglure, like with his back to the basket,

238
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: just kind of putting a little touch.

239
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: He made three of those during the game.

240
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: I'll take that.

241
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: But you know what that means that he hit one

242
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: three yesterday, that means he's gonna come out to take

243
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: at least two or three today in trouble.

244
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely take When he made the first one, when

245
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: he was lining up for the second one, Mario was

246
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: just screaming beg at the top of his lungs and

247
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: I did not want him to take it, and then

248
00:09:59,559 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: he trained.

249
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 6: It came across on the broadcast, but in the moment

250
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 6: there was a unison nore yeah, even a player I

251
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 6: can remember who it was. But someone in the post

252
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 6: game even brought it up. They said one of the

253
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: players said, we heard everyone ye'll know, and Brandon went

254
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 6: to shoot, and then we all would It was the no, no, no, no, yes,

255
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 6: we all did it to go.

256
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: And I mean when he made his first one, folks,

257
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: it was a one point game, was seven minutes to go.

258
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean the idea, hey dude, it's a one point game,

259
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: was seven minutes to go.

260
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: He had only made Ryan.

261
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Two threes all season and he made two and forty

262
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: seconds that changed the game.

263
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 7: We knew as soon as he hit that first one,

264
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 7: next time he gets the ball it's going up somewhere,

265
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 7: no matter where he is, he's gonna shoot He just

266
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 7: I got that mentality.

267
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 8: He was on a heat check yesterday. Of course he's

268
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 8: gonna shoot it.

269
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's heat checking today. Y'all get ready, we're getting

270
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 6: We're getting several.

271
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you think Colin Chandler walked at the end? Oh?

272
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely walk.

273
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: I feel like they got about five or six walks

274
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: in that game, both teams that just I guess they've

275
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: just stopped calling that, but they just switched pivot foots

276
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: back and forth and they wouldn't call it.

277
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 6: I had my guard up a little bit, and not

278
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 6: to be negative, but remember last year they almost botched

279
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 6: that Oklahoma game in like unbelievable fashion, and I've kind

280
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 6: of had worried about that. There where they finished the job,

281
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 6: but there was a moment where that five, six, seven

282
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 6: point lead didn't feel that comfortable until the very end.

283
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: So they get the victory and now today play Missouri.

284
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: Missouri of course beat US at Rupperina. I think the

285
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: different I mean, if we win that Missouri game, just

286
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: to show you how things have changed changed, if we

287
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: win that Missouri game, we were a sixth seed in

288
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 3: the SEC tournament instead, we're a nine seed. I think

289
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: if we win the Missouri game, we're probably guaranteed a

290
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: sixth seed in the NCAA tournament.

291
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: This is a big one for Kentucky today.

292
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: I think if you win today, if you go look

293
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: at what's happened in the rest of the country, all

294
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: the bubble teams have lost, all the teams.

295
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: Around us have not done well.

296
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: If you win today, you can get that sixth seed.

297
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: If not locked up, I think very close to locked up.

298
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: I would argue Ryan, this is the biggest game of

299
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: the tournament for Kentucky. Florida would be great if they won,

300
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: but this is the one that's the biggest.

301
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, you laid it out yesterday.

302
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 7: There's a big difference if you're a sixth seed or

303
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 7: a seventh seed in the NCAA tournament. You want that

304
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: six seed for your competition. But man, when we played

305
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: Missouri in January, the one thing I remember during the broadcast,

306
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 7: Jack Gibbons saying, just fight. These guys are not they

307
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 7: need to fight. We didn't have a lot of effort

308
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 7: that game, so we owe them today.

309
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: We had Jalen Lowe in that game. Let's remember that

310
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 4: don't have them. Now we did have Cam Williams. We

311
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: got him back. Colin Chandler only played five minutes in

312
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: that game against Missouri. He's gonna be huge day.

313
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: It was really that was the last game. He really

314
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: didn't play a lot. It flipped right after that. I

315
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: would note, if you win today and you're a sixth seed,

316
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 3: I don't see they're not gonna pair us with Alabama

317
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: as our three, and I bet they don't pair.

318
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Us with Gonzaga because we've played them.

319
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: So that means Drue, you're gonna get Iowa State or Nebraska,

320
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: who are both teams that if you asked me today,

321
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: give me a top seed you'd like to be paired against.

322
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: I would choose Iowa State or Nebraska that if you

323
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: look at it, Ryan and I were looking that game

324
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: would either be in Saint Louis or Oklahoma City, both

325
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: places Kentucky fans can go. This really is if you

326
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: want to make a surprise run to the second weekend,

327
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: this is the game to win today.

328
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 6: And Saint Louis specifically a lot of fans last night

329
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 6: up and down Broadway, you know, get a lot of

330
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 6: Western Kentucky here that Saint Louis trip is easy ease,

331
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 6: and they're already planning it. So please give us Saint

332
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 6: Louis between Iowa State and Nebraska. You know, we're all

333
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 6: guessing what it could be. I'd love to see Nebraska.

334
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 6: Ioway State scares me a little bit. I'd like some

335
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 6: Nebraska ball, but specifically Saint Louis. I think we would

336
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 6: have a good turnout with a lot of people that

337
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 6: were even here this week.

338
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Love playing, but you gotta play somebody.

339
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: And if you're telling me that I can play Iowa

340
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: State instead of Yukon or Houston, I'm taking Iowa State.

341
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you can play them in Saint Louis

342
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: where we could have all those fans.

343
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I Kentucky's got after all the problems this year,

344
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: Kentucky's got real potential to get a draw. They can

345
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: do something in if they can win today A fem

346
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 3: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We are

347
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: at tin roof at this show. Over the years, we've

348
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 3: had people getting gauged. We've seen fiftieth anniversaries. We got

349
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: our youngest person who is eight years old. Our oldest

350
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: is eighty four. We will take a break and be

351
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: right back from Nashville. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

352
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: Waterback.

353
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: It is Kentucky Swarts Radio here live in Nashville at

354
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: ten roof, top section absolutely packed getting ready for Cats

355
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: and Missouri today. Can Mark Pope and Bill Upside, Bill Gates.

356
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: That would be a different game Tennis Gates today for Missouri. Matt, Ryan,

357
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: Shannon and Drew. A great crowd here this morning. One

358
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: person rights, Matt, I don't want to play Iowa State

359
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: because they do what we don't do.

360
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: But my question is, honestly, who do you want to play?

361
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: We've got to play somebody, yeah, I mean, pick a

362
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: team that's the two or three seeds you want to play.

363
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: I mean we can't.

364
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: We don't get to choose and let's play Oklahoma in

365
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: the next round.

366
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: We gotta play somebody good.

367
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to play weak teams, you gotta

368
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: be the number one seed.

369
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Of the exactly right. So we we didn't do that.

370
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I mean, I'm Withdrew. Nebraska would

371
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: be the best matchup against against us, But like I

372
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: don't want to see us play Houston. I think we

373
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: would really struggle against a team like Houston. We would

374
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: really struggle against a team like Yukon. But you give

375
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: us those big twelve teams that are not as physical

376
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: as Houston, I'll give us a chance.

377
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 6: That's why in November and December when Kentucky wasn't doing well,

378
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 6: you know, people saying they'll turn it around. But at

379
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 6: some point you got to protect your path in the

380
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: NCAA tournament because you do have to play these good

381
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 6: teams when you're seven, eight seed whatever, they're gonna be.

382
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: What person rights? Matt, I got a question for Drew.

383
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: It seems like he's really starting to come around on

384
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: Mitch Barnhart and really liking him a lot.

385
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: Am I correct about that?

386
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 6: No comment. I'm in a good mood. We beat LSU.

387
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: Let's let's stay with the objective. Let's be optimistic. That's

388
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: enough enough, Matt, I have no comment.

389
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, not complaining. But this is you know this,

390
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: there will be There's no other show that could get

391
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: anyone to come out to anything. There are five of us,

392
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: and they will only let two in the building, and

393
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: we're not even allowed on the court.

394
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: Because we're all about of knuckleheads. You know that, right,

395
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: That's what it really is.

396
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: It really is unbelievable.

397
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: I hate to do the silence and no comment on

398
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: radio because you have to comment, but I'm not in

399
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 6: a good place in that relationship. I'll just say that

400
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 6: I'm happy that Kentucky's doing well, but in that conversation,

401
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: I am not in a good spot.

402
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: Well versus rights Matt Cam Williams, how much will he

403
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: be playing today and then the rest of the tournament?

404
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: You know a bit. He had a big shot yesterday.

405
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: I thought that was good.

406
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing for Cam is you got

407
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: to sit there and think, Okay, what were the minutes

408
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: that we're going to Trent? Noah, They're now gonna go

409
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: to Cam. And then I think when he is healthier,

410
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: maybe by next week Ryan, maybe maybe he takes some

411
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: of those Chandler minutes or allows Aberdeen in o way

412
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: to rest. But let's remind her, oh wait, played thirty

413
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: nine minutes last night. Aberdeen played thirty seven minutes last night,

414
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: and ultimately that's probably what we have to do.

415
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 7: You know, Trent didn't even get off the bench to

416
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: zero minutes. But I think Cam provided a little spark

417
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 7: when he came in. You mentioned he's three.

418
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 8: Just the fact that hav Hi.

419
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 7: Him out there as a threat helps spread the defense out,

420
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 7: you know what I mean?

421
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I think with Cam coming back, you know, Trent

422
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 6: played zero minutes yesterday and there's you know, you worry

423
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 6: about him taking a spot. I don't know how Cam's

424
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 6: foot will respond. Today might be a Trenton day because

425
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 6: as good as Cam was in seventeen minutes, he hit

426
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 6: the big three. Is good to see him. You know,

427
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 6: he can't just throw away those. The bench is still

428
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: gonna have to play Trent Jasper. They're gonna have to

429
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 6: have moments.

430
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: It's worth noting they did say Tom Leach and Jack

431
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: Gibbons on the pregame show yesterday that this may be

432
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 3: one of those things where Cam can play one day

433
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: and then not play the next day. So this might

434
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: be a game where Shannon he doesn't even get in

435
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: and then they try to get him to play the

436
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 3: next day against Florida.

437
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: Yep, it would be nice to get him out there

438
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 4: for eight to ten minutes if that's possible today, just

439
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: to have a three point shooting thread out there. I

440
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 4: just wonder, you know, we've made so much about fatigue,

441
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: how's this team gonna respond today?

442
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 5: After you know playing Yes.

443
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: Well, also, I will say the whole analytics these guys

444
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: can't play a lot of minutes. When it really came

445
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 3: down to it, Ryan, they played O Way thirty nine

446
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: minutes in Aberdeen thirty seven minutes. And that's knowing we

447
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: might have two, three, four whatever games coming left.

448
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: I have to say I've always felt like.

449
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: That's kind of a ridiculous age. Remember, the question is

450
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: not whether or not Oway will be a little worse

451
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: at eighty percent. Clearly he will. The question is an

452
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: eighty percent O way better than whatever else we have

453
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: And the answer is almost certainly.

454
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: Ryan.

455
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 8: Yes, it's that time of year.

456
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: Man.

457
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 7: You gotta win the game. You gotta play your best

458
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 7: guy on the court. Win the game, no matter what

459
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 7: you worry about tomorrow tomorrow, but you gotta win the game.

460
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 8: I'll have an advance.

461
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about a couple of things that happened in

462
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: this tournament.

463
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: Uh, you had Texas lose in the first round the

464
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: old miss They are probably gonna make the tournament, but

465
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: that hurts them and Auburn more importantly, Auburn wins yesterday

466
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 3: and Indiana loss for the eighth straight time to Northwestern.

467
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: I want you to think about that.

468
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: Indiana basketball lost for the eighth straight time to Northwestern,

469
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: and yesterday they had to win to make the tournament.

470
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: They are almost certainly out after losing for the eighth

471
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: straight time to Northwestern. The coaches kid is on the team, Drew,

472
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: and they asked him what they thought about the game,

473
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: and he goes, well, it's just sad that we'll, you know,

474
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: probably never get to wear this Indiana uniform again.

475
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: And the announcer was like, well, you're on the bubble.

476
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: You could still get in, and he goes, oh, yeah,

477
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: I mean I guess we could get in the NCAA tournaments,

478
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: you know, which apparently they're clearly skipping. Yeah, but I

479
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: mean if you were like, they are first team out

480
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 3: under Lonardi and he was already like, well, we're not getting.

481
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 6: In, and you know, with Kentucky being on a little

482
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 6: bit of a downslide recently, those comparisons pop up. But

483
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 6: we're still not in that conversation whatsoever. I mean, they

484
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 6: are in such a bad spot. You and I have

485
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: been to Indiana game, well it was Nebraska where they

486
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 6: it was the last home game of the season. I

487
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 6: mean that that program has fallen so far.

488
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: I think I saw a stat.

489
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: Indiana has missed the tournament some like seven of the

490
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: last nine years or something like that.

491
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Ryan.

492
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: So again, when people say, well, we're gonna become Indiana,

493
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: they have made the tournament twice in the last nine years.

494
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least we're making the tournament. It you know,

495
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 7: you know this. But I grew up in Indiana. I've

496
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 7: heard that, Oh, I'm gonna be a point guard for

497
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 7: Bob Knight. When I was a little guy, you wouldn't

498
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 7: be and I was gonna be calber Cheney.

499
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 5: Anything.

500
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 8: Indiana basketball is all about it. I was a little kid.

501
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 8: They were the ship.

502
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 5: Well dumb, that dump that Rick?

503
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: Rick? What the hell is wrong with you?

504
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 6: You got it?

505
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: Okay? Rick dumped it right?

506
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 5: Bull again, Let's try that again. They were What did we, ma'am?

507
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: Did I not have a conversation with him yesterday?

508
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: Clearly it worked what you have been.

509
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: On here for thirty years.

510
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 7: Sorry, I got a little worked up there that I

511
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 7: apologized everybody that was bad for him.

512
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: Indiana was the pooh, yes.

00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: Just we'll go to the phones.

Speaker 2: You can't take him anywhere. All right, who's up first? God?

518
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:33,800

Speaker 2: I forgot to write that kid's nose. No.

529
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 5: Oh, what a villain.

530
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well, hopefully he still got off school. I forgot.

531
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: He wrote me after and said, my mom is still

532
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 3: requiring the note even though you forgot.

533
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 6: This is the note speaking all right.

534
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 10: Well, my fun fact is it's illegal to drive with

535
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 10: an uncaged bear in your car in Missouri.

536
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you skipped class for that, Cam, I

537
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: appreciate it.

538
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 2: And uh, what class were you supposed to be in?

539
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: So let's be a math Christian math.

540
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 11: No, just like algebra.

541
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: Oh okay, algebra math a religion on math now changed.

542
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: Eight eighty seven.

543
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: We will come back, hopefully Ryan will not curse in

544
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 3: the middle of the show again and get us beeped.

545
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 3: We will take a break and be ready back here

546
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: at Tin Roof on the road.

547
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 2: With Kentucky Sports Radio.

548
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: We're back as Kentucky Swartz Radio eight nine two twenty

549
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: two eighty seven. People are reminding me that you don't

550
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: have to give the note until you go back to school.

551
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: So I got time to write that. Yeah, I got

552
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: time to write that today. When you you, you miss

553
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: and you come the next day with the note. So

554
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: we will write that today. He's uh, he's gonna call

555
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: I think in a little while, so that's good.

556
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: I want him to be able to uh uh to skip.

557
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: One person writes Matt, what did we think of the

558
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 3: calls yesterday?

559
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: The technical on Aberdeen week that technical was weak and

560
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: it could have that could have been a big play

561
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 2: in the game too.

562
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: He ends up missing one of the two free throws

563
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: and then they didn't score, so it didn't it didn't

564
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: really matter.

565
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: But then the same thing the flagrant.

566
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: Called on on on Diabante could have been big.

567
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: And then even though it was against us, I thought.

568
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: The flagrant on the dug on Moreno, you duck on

569
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: a guy's face and then you get the flagrant.

570
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: Reps were a little trigger happy, maybe well.

571
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 6: Sinde where I was yesterday. You know, I'm not normally there.

572
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 6: I could see the action up close. And the Aberdeen

573
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 6: technical was a joke because the McKinnon guy for LSU

574
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 6: seconds before that was cussing like Ryan over here to

575
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 6: the ref and I'm like, how can he say the

576
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: F bomb? And then Aberdeen just sticks out his tongue

577
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 6: and you're teeing him.

578
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: Well, the announcers kept saying on television, Ryan, Oh, he

579
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: did it once and they told him to stop, and

580
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: then he did it again, but then they showed the

581
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: video and.

582
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: He didn't do it again. He did do it.

583
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: One time, but then I don't the technical was like

584
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: five seconds later.

585
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: I thought that was a bogus car.

586
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: And of all people on the team, Abertey's probably the

587
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 7: quietest guy on the team. He got an every kind

588
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 7: of keeps to himself. Oh I do was Sticky's tongue

589
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 7: out the guy? I mean, why is that any kind

590
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 7: of worthware worthwhile of a technical?

591
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: We have had three straight games of Colin Chandler missing shots.

592
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: If Kentucky's going to make any kind of run, that

593
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: does have to change, right.

594
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: I mean, we all know how hot he got. Well,

595
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 6: he became part of the scouting report and he has

596
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: to find other ways to score because they've cut that

597
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 6: off and we need him to drive a little bit,

598
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 6: get some buckets in the lane. We love him as

599
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 6: a three point shooter, but other teams to sniffed that

600
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 6: out and have completely cut it off.

601
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: He he had that wide open three Shannon that would

602
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: have put the game away.

603
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was wide open in the corner. Then he

604
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: missed it.

605
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 3: Then the next time down Diabate took what I would

606
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: argue is the worst shot in the history of organized pass.

607
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 6: That was like seven feet past the rom I had

608
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: the perfect angle it had. I mean it almost landed

609
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 6: in the crowd.

610
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 3: It was like when you play golf on you know,

611
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 3: and they'll just show the thing hook that was. And

612
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: the thing was there was no one close to him,

613
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 3: no one, and he that was the worst shot. I

614
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: mean it, that might be the worst shot I've ever

615
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: seen someone take.

616
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 4: It's definitely in contention. I can't think of any others

617
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 4: that were worse than that. But to your point on

618
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: Colin Chandler, if he can just play some sort of

619
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 4: a version of how he played against Vanderbilt where he

620
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 4: just couldn't miss.

621
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: But what worries me. What worries me is nice missing

622
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: Shannon Open shot yeah open.

623
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: I think he's getting in his head for some reason.

624
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 4: He's got the yips. It seems like he does.

625
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: It does seem like he has the yips, and that's

626
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: gotta I mean hit. He hit one early, so I

627
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: thought he had gotten it back, but just has. Before

628
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: I go to the phones, Kentucky has now hired a

629
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: report say hired. Keegan Brown worked for Mark Pope at

630
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: BYU to be one of his player personnel people. I

631
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 3: went last night before I went to sleep, and I

632
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: was scrolling through Keegan Brown's Twitter and read his Twitter

633
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: because he's been tweeting for two years about how he

634
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: thinks college basketball teams should build their roster. I encourage you,

635
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: if you want to see what Kentucky's roster may look like,

636
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: go read it. He goes into detail, but his basic

637
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: theory is you don't need top thirty guys. You need

638
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: guys who play roles and fit into positions, kind of

639
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: what we've heard Mark Pope say for the last couple

640
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: of years. You know, I don't know the guy, so

641
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: he may be great for the job, but I think

642
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 3: if we were hoping that they go get these superstars.

643
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to be this guy's philosophy.

644
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 8: Seems to be the mo of Coach Pope.

645
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 7: Like you said, so, is this guy a quote unquote

646
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 7: gonna be our gm ish guy.

647
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, but if he is, it would make

648
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: you know.

649
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: People say Mark Pope's probably gonna hire somebody he knows

650
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: and who thinks like he does.

651
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 2: That's probably what this guy seems like.

652
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 6: I remember him very well from when Pope first got hired.

653
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 6: I was shocked that he wasn't an assistant coach. He's

654
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 6: got all the Utah ties, the analytics. I think he's

655
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 6: a really good assistant coach. I hope he's not our negotiator.

656
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 6: He's very valuable, but we need someone with the shoe deals,

657
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 6: the agents that knows that landscape. I think King Brown

658
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 6: is a big asset, but I worry what they're actually having.

659
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what the analytics say, but if you

660
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 4: told me I could have top thirty guys or role players,

661
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: I'm taking the top thirty guys all the time. I

662
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 4: feel like we got role players on the team right now.

663
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 4: I feel like that's what this roster is built of

664
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 4: it's just role players.

665
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: I agree.

666
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: I will say this I did. He works for the

667
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks. Drew and I we both know someone that

668
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: works for the Milwaukee Bucks.

669
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: I called us.

670
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 6: One of our good friends.

671
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: I called that guy yesterday.

672
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: He said tell me and he said, look, this Keegan

673
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 3: Brown is one of the smartest people, uh, that I know.

674
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: So he did say that, So I like that.

675
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 6: I remember That's what I was alluding to. When Pope

676
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 6: got hired. There was a story written about him that

677
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 6: I was like, can we please get this guy because

678
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: from the you know, basketball analytics side, I think is

679
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 6: a genius. But you know, GM's honestly kind of on

680
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 6: this one's a little sleazy. We're talking about money, not

681
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 6: basketball analytics.

682
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: The smart one and now we just need bazy one

683
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 3: and then we can, uh, we can come together. But this,

684
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 3: this guy with the Bucks who I know, was like,

685
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: in terms of intelligence, you're not gonna find anybody smarter

686
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: than this guy.

687
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: So that's that. That to me is good. Who's up next?

688
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: Joey is next? Joey, Go ahead, Joey.

689
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 9: Hey, guys man, I'm pumped up about this tournament.

690
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 10: It's March.

691
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 9: We're ready. Let's go Cats. But yesterday I think the

692
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 9: best thing that could have happened happened. Brandon Garrison had

693
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 9: a big game. And when he's playing like that, guys,

694
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 9: we are tough to be And that's all I got

695
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 9: to say.

696
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we did only win by five, but we

697
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: are tough to beat. The good thing about him is

698
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: he gives. He gives a toughness that maybe Moreno and

699
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: Yellovich don't have.

700
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: I still wish I appreciate the call.

701
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: I still wish Drew they would split Garrison and Diabate up.

702
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: I'd like Garrison to play maybe with uh with Yellovich

703
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: and Diabaate with Moreno because you do lose the shooting

704
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: unless he goes and makes two threes.

705
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 6: Right, And thank you forgiving me the opportunity to bring

706
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 6: him out, my guy, Yellovich, you called it, you said

707
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 6: he didn't love him sitting down when he was three

708
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 6: for three from the field. But we did get the

709
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 6: Diabate Yellovich combo I've wanted since November. I still want

710
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 6: more minutes from him he starts. Yesterday he was fancay,

711
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 6: I mean, defensively, had some lapses, but at least scoring.

712
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 6: And then we just didn't see much of him, but

713
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 6: I did like the combination of Diabate playing with Yellowvich.

714
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: Obviously Garrison having the game he did that took some

715
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 6: of his minutes, But moving forward, I I still want

716
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 6: more Chelley Tone.

717
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: One person writes, Matt Ryan has seemed like he's been

718
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: worked up more recently. Is something going on that makes

719
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: him cuss and talk about his underwear as much?

720
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 7: I'm just kind of frustrated, like the fan base, I

721
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 7: think the way that of this season is gone. And

722
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 7: when you know, you see him play so well against Vanderbilt,

723
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 7: then two days later when I guess fatigue sets in.

724
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 7: You can't do anything in Texas, A and m It's

725
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 7: just been touching up and down.

726
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 8: Frustrating season.

727
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 7: I'm ready for having a celebration, kind of feel good

728
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 7: again about We're Kentucky basketball.

729
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: Man.

730
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 7: It's supposed to be a celebration, not a disappointment every game.

731
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, but well we got one. We got one yesterday

732
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: and hopefully that continues. Who's up next? Taylor is up there?

733
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: Taylor, go ahead, Taylor.

734
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, Matt.

735
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 10: Just watching the game yesterday, I felt like there were

736
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 10: maybe five minutes in the first half. There were a

737
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 10: lot of fun and then got stressful, and then second

738
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 10: half started off stressful, and then we had that run

739
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 10: where Garrison made his threes and it just looked like

740
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 10: it was played with that energy for another five minutes,

741
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 10: and I was like, finally, it's gonna be fun and

742
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 10: of course in distressful. If we could just put those

743
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 10: five fun minutes together for a whole game, it'd be

744
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 10: the Vandy game every single time.

745
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: Well, it would, but we're not good. I don't know

746
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: that we're good enough to do that for all forty minutes.

747
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: One of the things that was good yesterday Kentucky did

748
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: not allow runs. You know, that's been something that's crushed

749
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: us over the course of the l We allow these

750
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: eleven oh runs, twelve oh runs, thirteen oh runs.

751
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: We did not allow a run like that, and Drew,

752
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: I think that was a big part of why we

753
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: were so successful.

754
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, kreits LSU. They stayed in the fight, but never

755
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 6: really put together those runs. Kentucky's giving up a lot,

756
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 6: and there was a moment yesterday where LSU did have

757
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 6: some momentum and Pope was quick to a time out,

758
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 6: which we've been critical about in the past, and he

759
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 6: made sure to shut that down real quick, so you

760
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 6: know they'd go a little five zero stretch here and there,

761
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: but never really threatened once we had the big cushion

762
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 6: in the second half.

763
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call.

764
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: Where would you say, for those of you that are

765
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: out here in the crowd, where would you say, big

766
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: blue mist on Broadway?

767
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: Is it?

768
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 11: Is it?

769
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: Where it's been by?

770
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: Because this is the first time I've been down here

771
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: since we got here.

772
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be like that today? What do we think?

773
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 6: You think there was one?

774
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

775
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: Guy? Well, guy saying yes worries me a little bit.

776
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 3: I will say there were a lot of people there yesterday,

777
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: but it hasn't felt like the takeover that it does

778
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: most well.

779
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 6: Ten minutes before the game yesterday, I was very worried

780
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 6: if anybody in here was there yesterday. You agree, but

781
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 6: they were almost like they were just pulling into town

782
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 6: and parking and getting the arena. So I don't know

783
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 6: how last night was. There was rain, I went to

784
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: bed at like eight pm, didn't go on Broadway. Yeah,

785
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: wink wink, But uh, I think it'll be much better today.

786
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 6: I think people literally just drove straight into tip off.

787
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: Well, and it's for people who aren't here.

788
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: It's cold this morning, it's rainy, but that's all supposed

789
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 3: to change this afternoon, and then you get to Friday

790
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 3: and Saturday and it's supposed to be very nice weather.

791
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: So if we can just get to that point Shannon

792
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: where we are playing there, I think you'll see a

793
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: lot more of it.

794
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: You know, usually our fan base doesn't even come down

795
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: here Friday because we're not used to playing until Friday.

796
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 4: So playing on a Wednesday throws things off a little bit.

797
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: But uh, I think they'll still show up for the

798
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: game today.

799
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 7: I think so many people, yeah, just made their plans,

800
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 7: bought their tickets, but their hotel rooms starting last night,

801
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 7: both their tickets starting today. I think probably we'll see

802
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 7: a huge turnout today for the game.

803
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: You need to, uh, the tickets are available. We just

804
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: bought my group here eight together for forty seven dollars,

805
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,479
Speaker 3: so if you want to, if you want to go

806

Speaker 6: Missouri and then there we go much better.

834
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven.

835
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: There's some chatter online that Kentucky might have the highest

836
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 3: bid now for tiring Stokes, the number one player in

837
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: the country. And you know there's also chatter that Bill

838
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 3: self may retire, uh Kansas. You know this has been

839
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: a drama that's gone back and forth and back and forth.

840
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: Number one player in America.

841
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: Does anyone want to make the case that we don't

842
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: want him?

843
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 8: No?

844
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 6: No, I mean in November, maybe we're at the point.

845
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 6: Please just get a player, certainly the number one player.

846
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 5: If you want it to be negative.

847
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 4: You can look at what Peterson's doing at Kansas and

848
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: him kind of determining when he's going to play and

849
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: when he's not going to. But I think you still

850
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 4: take that player if you have the opportunity to, and

851
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: Pope needs to get somebody.

852
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: It might be the case that Kansas isn't as excited

853
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 3: to hav him because of Darren Peterson.

854
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: But here's my view about it.

855
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: We've gone two years with these kind of role player

856
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 3: type things.

857
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 2: Some success. You gotta have one of these guys.

858
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: In my opinion, you gotta have at least one dude

859
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: who can go get it for you.

860
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: You know, just look at the top teams in the country.

861
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: Cameron Boozer, it's gonna be the third pick.

862
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: Yackxel at Michigan probably the best, the best senior in

863
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: the country. Arizona's got two potential lottery picks in their

864
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 3: freshman class. Connecticut's got a lottery pick. You know, Florida's

865
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: got maybe one of the best returning players in the country.

866
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: You just have to have one of those guys, Ryan,

867
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 3: and we have not And because our roster doesn't have one,

868
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: we're not gonna have one return So we either gotta

869
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 3: go get a Yackxle in the portal or we gotta

870
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: get a freshman. I don't know who the portal guy is.

871
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 3: If we got a chance at that freshman, Ryan, we

872
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: gotta get him. Go look at the top five teams

873
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: in the country. Houston's the sixth best team. They've got

874
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 3: a top ten pick on their team. Like basically every

875
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: team that's good this year has got one of those guys,

876
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: and we need to go get one of those guys.

877
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 8: Here's the reason why you want Tynstokes. I wanna tell

878
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 8: you about it.

879
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me about it.

880
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 6: I want to tell you.

881
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: Ryan is gonna tell you about it.

882
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 6: Go for it.

883
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 7: Their stories out there that maybe he's not coachable, maybe

884
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 7: he's hard to deal with in the locker room. But

885
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 7: if you get the number one player in the country

886
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 7: that wants to come play from you, and you get him,

887
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 7: you can tell that to all the guys in the portal,

888
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 7: all those other freshmen, come play with this guy.

889
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 8: Look how good we're gonna be.

890
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 7: The perception of you be able to get a number

891
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 7: one player in the country is something Kentucky just doesn't

892
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 7: have right now.

893
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 8: They need that.

894
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: I was looking there was a stat that came out yesterday,

895
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes we got a little tired drew

896
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 3: of the one and done, etc. But here's the stat

897
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 3: that is an amazing stat in the NBA right now.

898
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: Players that average fifteen points or more this season, okay

899
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: fifteen and where did they go to college? Of the

900
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 3: players in the NBA that average fifteen points or more,

901
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: only five colleges have produced more than two that are

902
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 3: currently in the NBA.

903
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 2: Only five.

904
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 3: Three of those colleges have three guys who averaged fifteen

905
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 3: or more Duke has six guys that average fifteen or more.

906
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: Kentucky has ten guys in the NBA right now who

907
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 3: averaged fifteen or more. Now, I'm not saying we have

908
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: to have one of those guys now, but we have

909
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 3: not had one of those guys since what MAXI, So

910
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: you know what, it's time for us to go get

911
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: one of those guys.

912
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 6: And yeah, maybe there's some red flags. Ryan used the

913
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 6: word not coachable. You know what else is not coachable?

914
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 6: Zero people that are gonna be on your team next year,

915
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 6: So let's not be picky. And I do think there

916
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 6: is a point to showing future recruits that we can

917
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 6: take care of a star. I think that's very important.

918
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: People have made the point, and I think it's a

919
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: valid one. You don't necessarily have to have a top

920
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 3: ten recruit to win. I agree with that, but I

921
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: will tell you this is the most packed year of

922
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 3: college basketball talent I can remember. The top six teams

923
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: all have guys that are either going to be first

924
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: team All American or top ten picks. To me, that

925
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: says you better have one of those guys. And right now,

926
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 3: how many of those guys do we have next year?

927
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: Zero?

928
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 6: Proximity.

929
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: So if you can get one, we need to get

930
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 2: it to Kentucky.

931
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 5: Guy.

932
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 6: It's just important for the optics.

933
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: Who's up next? Jackson is up next? Jackson? Go ahead, Jackson. Hey,

934
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,320

Speaker 6: My mom did let me stay home, but she said

938
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 6: if I don't get a school excuse, she's going to

939
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 6: be real mad at you.

940
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I don't want your mom to be mad

00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: Matt, all right, and he's at home today. That's worth

947
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: a round of applause. Let your kids say. I was shocked,

948
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: not shocked, but Shannon. I had probably fifty teachers right

949
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 3: me after the postgame show saying they let their classes

950
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 3: watch the game yesterday.

951
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 4: You know, that was one of the coolest memories I

952
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 4: have being annot too, was when it would be you know,

953
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 4: a twelve o'clock game in the teacher would role in

954
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 4: the old you know TV on the box and you

955
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 4: sit there and watch the games, and uh, it's you know,

956
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 4: it's good memories that you have.

957
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 2: Yes, what are you gonna learn in school to tack

958
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: skits a lot of class?

959
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 6: I highly recommend it.

960
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he failed English one O one twice and

961
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 2: he's still writing for a living. Who's up next? Bobby

962
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: is next? Bobby? Go ahead? Bobby?

963
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 11: Hey guys, Uh, just a couple of quick comments. Hope

964
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 11: said on the post game that he gave Garrison the

965
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 11: green light, and that kind of worries me because if

966
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 11: you look back, every time he has a big scoring game,

967
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 11: his efficiency goes down because he tries to force it

968
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 11: a little bit. But uh, I am happy for him.

969
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 11: I've not always been. He's not always my favorite player,

970
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 11: but you know, if he can keep doing this and

971
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 11: not be real happy, then the next thing is on

972
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 11: the floppy action that we run. If you notice dia Bote,

973
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 11: if he's the main screener, someone always gets open, and

974
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 11: I just worry, like, what are we teaching them that

975
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 11: these other guys can't screen like him?

976
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: That just well, the other guys are the other guys

977
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: aren't quite as strong as Diabate. I do think Drew

978
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 3: Diabat is a terrible shooter, but he does some things

979
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 3: that are really positive. He's a great screener, plays pretty

980
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: good defense, he rebounds. I wish he wouldn't put his

981
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: head down and just take it to the basket because

982
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 3: that rarely works.

983
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 2: But the other stuff he actually does a good job.

984
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 6: If you keep him in his lane as just a

985
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 6: defensive guy, go get the ball, don't shoot corner threes.

986
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 6: He is awesome for your team, but you don't want

987
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 6: him kind of getting in his film himself a little

988
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 6: bit and trying to do too much.

989
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: And I would also say he has produced, in my opinion,

990
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 3: the best individual player content I've seen in a long time,

991
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: his TikTok videos where he shows you a day in

992
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: his life during Ramadan and with the team. If you

993
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 3: want to know what these guys do when they're not

994
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: on the court, they're the best videos I've seen of

995
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 3: him showing just how they live their lives, et cetera.

996
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: I think it's really good stuff on TikTok. We will

997
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: take a.

998
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 3: Break, come back our number two here at ten roof.
