1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.

2
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: It is the local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. The

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Cats go down in a disappointing loss in the Young

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 2: Center ninety six eighty eight to Louisville. You can give

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: the shout. We'll take your calls beyond till probably about

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: twelve thirty, maybe a little later. A five, nine, two eighth,

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. It was a game that that

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Kentucky obviously at one point was down twenty, came back,

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: cut it to a four, had free throws to cut

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: it to a one possession game, end up losing by eight.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: It's like Vegas may have known something with that move

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: to six and a half on the spread. But there

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: are really two ways to look at this game. You

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: can look at the first thirty minutes, so you could

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: look at the last ten. I'm gonna spend I think

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: most of the time talking about the first thirty because

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: that was really what made the game. But I will

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: say in the last ten Kentucky showed a lot. One

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: thing I am positive about is that they made that

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: a game down the stretch, and they made it the

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: game when I think mostly I thought we were about

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: to get lose by twenty five, and they made a

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: game and you know, with three minutes to go, had

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: a shot. So I like the heart. I thought the

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: team played with effort all night. I mean, I billy

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: I stayed in the gym for the first half and

27
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: then left.

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Left and half left before halftime a couple of minutes

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: before halftime.

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: That was because you know, you get a sense and

31
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: the arena there was super loud. I mean, that was

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: that was a heck of an environment. But I did

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: think Kentucky played with effort. I agree with what Mark

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: Pope said. They played with a lot of dumb effort,

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: a lot of it. But the problem occurred really for

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: me in on offense in two stretches. There's a period

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I think we went up like thirteen to eight maybe,

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: and then we were down, I don't know, twenty seven

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: to ten. So there was a run there where I

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: think they maybe went on like a nineteen to two run,

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: and Kentucky shots selection on offense was so terrible during

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: that period, I mean, very little movement, bad decisions, wrong

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: guys taking shots at wrong spots. And during that period,

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: Louisville's getting out in transition and Kentucky had no chance.

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: The transition defense for Kentucky tonight was about as bad

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: as I've ever seen Kentucky do it, especially in those

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: first thirty minutes. I mean, they would get they would

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: get back on defense in transition, and they would get

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: out of sorts. And then one louisll didn't necessarily get

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: a ton of layups or you know, off transition, but

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: like one or two passes in Kentucky would be completely

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: discombobulated and you'd get a wide open three. And that

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: happened over and over and over. And the stat that

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: decides the game is Louisville has twenty assists and six turnovers, which,

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: considering the pace they play to only have six turnovers

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: and scored ninety six. It's pretty amazing, and two of

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: them more offensive fouls. So like four turnovers is I mean,

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: kudos to them, that's pretty impressive. But we had, you know,

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: we had fourteen, and then they have twenty assists and

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: we have fourteen. So you're losing right there. You don't

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: have to tell me any other stat. If you tell

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: me that one team has twenty assists and six turnovers

63
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: and the other one is fourteen and fourteen, I mean,

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: you know who wins the game right there. But I

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: was really disappointed with the defense. Honestly, thirty two minutes,

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: last eight minutes, they played pretty good defense. We got

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: some help with all the free throws they missed at

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: the end, but just terrible wrong guy. I mean, guys

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: got switched and either A they went under the screens.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: You gave these great shooters open looks going under the screens.

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: That's just a work hard thing. Switches were late, two

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: guys going with one player leaving a guy open. I

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: mean they did not communicate well, they let themselves and

74
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: most of that I put on the players. Now, one

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: thing I would put on Pope is that. And they

76
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: changed this in the last eight or ten minutes. But

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: they let them switch Michel Brown and the kid from

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: Xavier on to Low play after play, and I like Low.

79
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: I think Low's good. We'll talk about him in a minute.

80
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: But his weakness is defense, and it's gonna be defense.

81
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be all year like. He's not a great defender,

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: and you gotta scheme around that. You cannot let Michel Brown,

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: who is awesome, who is going to be an NBA star,

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: in my opinion, you cannot let him get switched off

85
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: on Low over and over and over. That's what Chucky

86
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: Hepburn did to Low last year when he was at

87
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: pitt So. I mean, Louisville knew what they were doing,

88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: and we stopped that in the last eight minutes by

89
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: not by you know, basically saying Low would always take

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: the switcher. But I don't know how it took so

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: long for that to happen. That was a real that

92
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: was a real issue throughout the game. Mckel Brown's first

93
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: half was unbelievable, but as good as he was, that's

94
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: not why we lost. We lost because we gave other

95
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: guys open looks and they knocked him down.

96
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Fundamentally.

97
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: Going forward, I'm a little concerned about the makeup of

98
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: the team.

99
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: And here's why.

100
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: For Kentucky to be good this year, I mean, like

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: really good. I think they're good now, but to be

102
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: really good, they got to get great play from the

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: point guard. I think that's gonna be mostly Low, but

104
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: Aberdeen can do it too, and I thought in general

105
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: they gave that until the final three and a half minutes,

106
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: when I do not think Low was good. Aberdeen was great.

107
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: Aberdeen was great the entire game. Most of the time

108
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: playing off the ball, but even on the ball, he

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: was excellent. He's he's better than I thought, and so

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: he's gonna be a rock. So you got to get

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: really good point guard play. I think Kentucky got that.

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: Eighty percent of the game. You've got to get Oway

113
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: has got to be oh Way always got to give

114
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: you fourteen to seventeen every night, rebound play defense.

115
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Oway just does not look right to me. Now. I

116
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: know he still had what twelve points, but he shot

117
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: the ball poorly.

118
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: He's taken different shots. He's not going to the basket,

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: he's not doing the things drawing contact the things he

120
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: did last year. And I know his shots never been great,

121
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: but it looks off off. I watched the team warm

122
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: up shooting threes. I got there really early, so I said,

123
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: and watched them, and they didn't shoot well during warm ups,

124
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: and Ohway, in particularly, I mean with no one on him,

125
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: was shooting poorly, and I thought, man, I hope he

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: doesn't shoot like that during the game. He just doesn't

127
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: look right to me. Now he's coming off an injury.

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: Maybe that is part of it, but I don't know.

129
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: He just doesn't look like the way we had last year.

130
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: And I've said this a lot, he cannot be our

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: best offensive player. If he is our best offensive player,

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: we're not going.

133
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: To be very good.

134
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 2: But he has to at least do his thing every game,

135
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: and it just he just hasn't looked right to me

136
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: at the start of this season. But more fundamentally, when

137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: we play teams like Louisville, I don't know.

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: About the Bigs how we're doing it right now.

139
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: Our starting lineup, in my opinion, might be the worst

140
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: lineup that we put out there some because we put

141
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: three guys on the floor right now who can't shoot.

142
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: When you put Oway, Diabate and Garrison on the floor together,

143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 2: I mean, you can tell me all you want. Oway

144
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: and Garrison can shoot, but unless always making them, Diabate

145
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: cannot shoot.

146
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: And I worry. Listen, Diabate is a great player. He hustles.

147
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: He is a good defender, but I don't know if

148
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: he's a Mark Pope four because he gets that open

149
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: look in the corner and it I don't know who

150
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: it feels like that's going in. And I will note,

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: as much as I love the kid, when we made

152
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: the run at the end of the game, he wasn't

153
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: really in. He didn't really play those last eight minutes.

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: And I think it cause it's hard to score with

155
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: him on the floor if you're gonna put Garrison on

156
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: with him. So I don't think you can play those

157
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: guys together. I think they're gonna have to figure out

158
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: a different rotation. Maybe you played Diabate with Moreno, or

159
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: you play I think we're gonna have to play four

160
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: shooters in a big sum and I don't think that's

161
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: how this roster is built.

162
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: But that's when we look the best.

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: We looked the best when Cam Williams came in and

164
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: you were running three of Low, Aberdeen, Oway, and Chandler.

165
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: Cam at the four, Moreno or Garrison at the five.

166
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: That's when we look the best. That's when we made

167
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: a run. And I don't know what that means for

168
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: some of these other guys. I thought Yellovich played well

169
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: in the first half. Maybe he could have played a

170
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: little more in a second. I'm not sure, but you

171
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: just right now, it feels like a lot of pieces

172
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: that just don't really fit.

173
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: And we do not have a great player. I don't

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: think we have a great player.

175
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: I think we got a lot of really good players,

176
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: but I don't know if we have a great player,

177
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: And in a situation like that, it becomes imperative that

178
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: you have the right guys end in the right sequences,

179
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: and it just didn't feel like we had that for

180
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: a lot of the game. So going forward, we're not

181
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: gonna play too many teams that are as efficient offensively

182
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: as Louisville. I look at our schedule, probably Alabama's the

183
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: only one we're gonna play that'll be as efficient offensively

184
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: as them. And it was an amazing environment. I mean

185
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: it was that is one of the better non conference

186
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: road environments I've been to, So kudos to them for that.

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: I've been in that arena a lot, not in the

188
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: last few years, but even back in the old day,

189
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: like they would have good environments, but I thought, for

190
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: whatever reason, they seemed particularly amped tonight. But our defense

191
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: has to be better, and our shot selection in periods

192
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: of time has to be better. And I do think

193
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: Mark's gotta be better in figure in like game planning

194
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: and stuff.

195
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Kelsey. Kelsey was better prepared for thirty minutes. Now.

196
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: I do think Mark adjusted, and I actually think Mark

197
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: he got low to where he didn't have to guard

198
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: these penetrators. At the end, he took out Diabaatee. I

199
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: thought in the last ten minutes, but it took too long.

200
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 2: That took too long, And for moment one, it was

201
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: clear what Kelsey's game plan was, get in transition, get

202
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: low isolated, and make Kentucky's bigs have to guard their guards.

203
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: And we weren't able to do any of those three things.

204
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: And it feels like it took Pope a long time

205
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: to counter all that. And then when we did, we

206
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: played pretty well, but by that point it was too late.

207
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: A couple things down the stretch, low was not good

208
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: down the stretch. I still like him being in there.

209
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think sometimes we take for granted with

210
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: him in Aberdeen, how much movement they create. Lowe's gotta

211
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: be bet he can't like jump up and then not

212
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 2: having one to pass too. And you know, he took

213
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: a couple four shots. I didn't like his transition three,

214
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: but go back and look at the plays when he

215
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: wasn't in and look how stagnant we look. So I

216
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: still like him, but he's got a at the end

217
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: of games. He can't just hitting pit where you have

218
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: to take every shot at the end of games, create

219
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: the shots.

220
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: And then kick out.

221
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: And if you go back and look at the play

222
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: where he got fouled when it was a four point game, Billy,

223
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw, well, you're you're listening

224
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: on the radio, but they called the foul, but he

225
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: was kicking it out to a wide open Collin Chandler

226
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: in the corner.

227
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: I wish they hadn't called that foul.

228
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chandler was hot.

229
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: Chandler was open when the corner and he was passing

230
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: to him. And if they don't call that foul, Chandler

231
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: has a wide up in three. Maybe it's a one

232
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: point game. Lowe's got to make that. He's got to

233
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: be smarter down to stretch. But I need more from

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: O Way, I need more from Garrison, and I also

235
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: need like better decision making because Kelsey's a good coach.

236
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: He out smart at us for a lot of the game.

237
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: And you know, Pope got there, but it just took

238
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: too long. A five nine twenty two eighty seven. We

239
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: will take your calls. Congrats to the Cards on the win.

240
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 2: Big shout out to the BBN that was there. There

241
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: wasn't a lot of BBN in the lower level, but

242
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: if you went up top, there was a lot of

243
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: Kentucky fans, which means a lot of y'all bought tickets,

244
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: some of you probably driving home. Uh, it's a shame

245
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: we didn't get to win, but you guys definitely definitely

246
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: showed out. We'll take a break, take your calls, cards,

247
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: get one in the rivalry and it's frustrating. We'll be

248
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: right back. It's the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show.

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It is a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show.

250
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven

251
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: on the text machine, one person rights, Matt, why do

252
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 2: you sound concerned about lineups now when after Purdue we

253
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: thought we were gonna be elite. Well, it's a matchup thing.

254
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have we have a lot of

255
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: really good players. I'm not sure we have a great one.

256
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: We'll see, but I kinda don't. I think we have

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: a lot of really good ones, and I think we

258
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: have a couple that are really really good college players.

259
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: But matchups are gonna matter with this team because we

260
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: don't have a dude like McHale Brown. They got a

261
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: guy that even if nothing else is going right. And

262
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: for tonight they had other things going right too, But

263
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: if nothing else is going right, you can give the

264
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: ball to him and he can go get you buckets.

265
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: I don't know that we got that guy. Although Aberdeen

266
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: played really well tonight. I'm not sure that we've got

267
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: that guy. So matchups are gonna matter, and we match

268
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: up really well with teams like Purdue. I think eventually

269
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: we'll figure out how to play against teams like Georgetown

270
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: as well.

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: But you know, remember last year, teams have played like Louisville.

272
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 2: We couldn't beat We could not beat Alabama, we could

273
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: not beat Auburn, and we couldn't we beat Tennessee, but

274
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: we struggled with Tennessee.

275
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder like, is this gonna be like

276
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: this too? And it shouldn't be, because we're very athletic, But.

277
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: I just Pope seems to have built this roster around

278
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: having two bigs, And I think when you play teams

279
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: like Louisville, if our two bigs are not I AM be.

280
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: Able to shoot, then you can't play two bigs.

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: Maybe Malachi we talked about somebody said the best lineup

282
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: might be O Way Aberdeen, Lowe moreno Diabate, I could

283
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: see that. I just somebody just sent me Billy. That

284
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: lineup played seventy seconds together tonight.

285
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: That's it.

286
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: I would have been interested to see if they had

287
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: played the More together, and maybe even you substitute Diabate

288
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: for Cam willi Iams or Colin Taylor.

289
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think we got a lot of that lineup.

290
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: I just I'm.

291
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Unless always starts hitting shots consistently.

292
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you can play dabout Dating Garrison together.

293
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't. I just don't think.

294
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't think you can get the offense, and I

295
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: don't know if you can even get the defense against

296
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: the team of guards.

297
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: All right, who's up first, Edward, go ahead, Edward?

298
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Matt, I was at the game tonight. Shout out

299
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: Cam Williams and Denzel Aberdeen for a really solid game.

300
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: First of y'all, wouldn't it be all right if I

301
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: gave like just two small quick thoughts in a vacuum

302
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 4: about the cot I mean, I'm I'm very appreciative of him.

303
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: I think he's a great coach. I think he's the

304
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: coach for us. But here's where I get concerned. Last year,

305
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: I called into his postgame show with Tom Leach and asked, Mark,

306
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: you've coached for fifteen years, what makes a good defensive team, Because,

307
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: you know, a knock on him besides the tournament stuff

308
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: going back to last year was he's never really built

309
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: an elite defensive unit. Main points were versatility and playing

310
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: connectively or just playing together communication all that. I just

311
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: nothing I've seen so far, even though we built this

312
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: roster around some of those physical attributes. I'm just a

313
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: little concerned watching the ball stream defense.

314
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: And I understand that's.

315
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: A very elite backcourt one will probably we won't face

316
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: too many of those, probably right, But just being at

317
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: the game and watching some of those flare screens and

318
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: how they're wide open, missed assignments trying to go over

319
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: and letting McNeeley, Comwell or Michel get a free shot,

320
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: it was just frustrating.

321
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a great analysis.

322
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: I'll let you do your second win in the second,

323
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: but I think that's a great announces I think he's

324
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: right that's the way to be elite defensively is to

325
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: have length, communication and athleticism. He clearly built this roster

326
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: trying to do that every player on this roster, especially

327
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: the ones he brought in except Low. That's what they are, right,

328
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: but they didn't look like it. And I guess what

329
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: I would say is, if you're gonna sacrifice what is

330
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: your and by your I mean Pope's signature kind of player,

331
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: which is a guy who could knock down threes regularly,

332
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: If you're going to sacrifice that to get these defensive guys,

333
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: I understand that decision, but they better communicate well and

334
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 2: they better play defense. And that didn't happen tonight. So

335
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: you sacrifice some of the shooting and you're not making

336
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: up for it on the other end.

337
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: That's a recipe to lose.

338
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

339
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: No, I think you're spot on, And I mean I

340
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 4: think louisvill was doing, especially in the first half, something,

341
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: especially when we went in that little lull of offense

342
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: that you were describing in the middle of the first half,

343
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: they were doing something that we should have been doing.

344
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: They were blitzing Low every time he came off the screen,

345
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 4: and they would essentially have a double for about a

346
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: second or two and the roller would be open every time.

347
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 4: So we kind of played into their game. We're jacking

348
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: up threes, taking some some weird mid ranges, like forcing things.

349
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: And I don't think offense is the problem here. I

350
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: think it's mainly a defensive thing.

351
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: I agree, we scored eighty eight.

352
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: I mean, it's to forget we scored eighty eight, and

353
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: against most teams, when you score eighty eight, y'ata win.

354
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: So I now, granty we hit threes at the end,

355
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: but you know what that we missed a bunch earlier,

356
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: so it was time for us to hit some. You

357
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: score eighty eight y'all to win, And I appreciate the call.

358
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: That was a good call. The the defense is the

359
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: issue for me. I mean, it's just it's so bad,

360
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: and it was so bad, and I'm really disappointed in

361
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: I thought our bigs were particularly bad defensively. I mean,

362
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: you're just gonna you have to know that if Jalen

363
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: Lowe's playing, you're gonna have a defensive weakness. But I

364
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: think he makes up for it on the offensive end.

365
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: But you have to cover up that weakness. And not

366
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: only did they not cover it up, some of our

367
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 2: guys played even worse defense than him. It felt like,

368
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: I mean, I say, I hate to keep picking on him,

369
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: but I don't know what Oway was doing.

370
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: A lot of the game.

371
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: I was like, I think that's the worst I've seen

372
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: him play, And I don't know why that should have

373
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: been like his he loves these environments. It was it

374
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: was really odd to me. That's the worst I've seen

375
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: him play. I really do think that's the case.

376
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Who's next, Skyler? Skyler?

377
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Yeah, I get to talk to you again, Matt.

378
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 6: Picking up on what you just said, I think Otega

379
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 6: plays with, as the kids would say, a nonchalant nature

380
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 6: right now, and we really need him to wake up

381
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 6: and and and dial it in.

382
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: I wonder why that is.

383
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Skyler, but I wonder why that

384
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: is because I would have never said that about him

385
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: last year one time, right, And I felt like that

386
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: in that.

387
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: In the in the Georgetown game.

388
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: I think that was the Georgetown game, and I felt

389
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: like that now he does that is a good way

390
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: to put it, and it just doesn't really seem like him.

391
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, he had a drive and an edge and

392
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: a chip on his shoulder last year that I hope

393
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 6: I hope returns. Maybe preseason SEC Player of the Year

394
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 6: kind of can linger in the back of your mind, madam.

395
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 6: I'll just say this to I'll just say too, I

396
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 6: was I have not thought about Louisville for years and

397
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 6: didn't didn't know what team they were even bringing in.

398
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: I was actually impressed a little bit with the intensity

399
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 6: that they brought to the game. They fought really hard,

400
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 6: So kudos to them. I think I don't know if

401
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 6: our guys were prepared for that or not or surprised

402
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: by that.

403
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.

404
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 8: That nonchalant nature by.

405
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 6: Otega, even in his response to the prior comment, kind

406
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 6: of bled into that first twenty thirty minutes, and maybe

407
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 6: the question I have is where do you see Trent

408
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 6: Noah fitting into this? Yeah, I did miss some key,

409
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 6: some key rebounds at the end of the game.

410
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: We did that.

411
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 6: I'm hoping Jaden can can pick up where Malachi kind

412
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 6: of got bullied around a little bit.

413
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 9: I'll hang up and listen a little bit.

414
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: Some of those appreciate that. I thought some of those

415
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: rebounds at the end were just like Louisville actually shot

416
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: bad threes and the shot was so bad that they

417
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: got their own rebounds. Sometimes you can't really help that.

418
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: I think that happened a couple times on those possessions. Yeah,

419
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: I think nonchalance the word. Also, by the way, the

420
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: best our offense looked except at the end when we

421
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: started running and hitting threes, was at the beginning when

422
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: Lowe and Aberdeen were in there together and they were

423
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: penetrating and giving it to the bigs for dunks, and

424
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: I thought they did a great job. And then Louisville

425
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: basically they they started doing what the callers said. They

426
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: blitzed low he did. He would get the ball, he

427
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: wasn't able to pass to the bigs, and then we

428
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 2: would get to the secondary guys and again not to

429
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: keep picking on him, but o Way would get the

430
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: ball and it would be just like would die.

431
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: In his hands. And I don't really know why that happened.

432
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Colin Chandler, by the way, becomes the first Kentucky player

433
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: to hit four threes billy in his first three games.

434
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: Of the season.

435
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: Huh Is that right?

436
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: That's according to Corey Price. I think that's what the

437
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: stat said.

438
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 3: Well, they needed him. He hit that one.

439
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: Big ones. He hit some big ones. I wish he'd

440
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 2: gotten to take that one in the corner. Who's next, Michael, Michael?

441
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Michael.

442
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I I just have two quick things for you, Matt.

443
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 10: I think number one and again, you know, this seems

444
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 10: to be obviously we only have last season and now

445
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 10: predicated this season, but it is clear again that we

446
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 10: do not have just that player like a like a

447
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 10: Walter Clayton, like a Makiah Brown, like a you know,

448
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 10: Shabatz Naprien, like a Kimba like that can just go

449
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 10: and just take over a game. In college basketball, you

450
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 10: need that.

451
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: And but I don't know how you can't just well, Okay,

452
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna keep bring up the twenty two million dollars.

453
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: But what I would ask you is, who is in

454
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 2: the portal that's that guy? Okay, I think there was, they.

455
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 10: Got him and they lost them. Who the guy that

456
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 10: went to the one they lost that? Where do you

457
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 10: go to Indiana or Labar Wilkerson went, yeah, whichever?

458
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 2: Is not that we Really he's not that dude. I mean,

459
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: he's a great shooter. I'd love to have him, but

460
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 2: he's not that dude. The only dude that was in

461
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: the portal, the guard that was like that to me

462
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: is Donovan Dent and we just got out bit by UCLA.

463
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean they came in at the last minute. He

464
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: was that dude.

465
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: But I actually think after him, there wasn't one of

466
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: those guys. And so one of the things about living

467
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: by the Portal is there's gonna be in the portal.

468
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of guys like Denzel Aberdeen

469
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: or Diabate who are gonna be great players to bring

470
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: in who can be parts of your roster.

471
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: But you're you're right.

472
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: I think most teams need that guy, and the problem

473
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: is we don't have that guy. But they also don't

474
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: grow on trees, which means you probably have to go

475
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: get them in recruiting or develop them. Now, think about

476
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: Pope's first class. There wasn't that guy to develop. Maybe

477
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: one day Colin Chandler will be that. I don't know,

478
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: maybe Jasper Johnson will be that, but we did we

479
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: have not been able to get that guy in recruiting. Y. Yeah,

480
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: you hear me talk about a lot. When's he gonna

481
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: get his elite God, I'm kind of talking about wins again.

482
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: Is Mikhale Brown? Maybe it's uh, maybe it's Stokes this year. Right,

483
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see, But you're right, we don't have that guy.

484
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: But you Also, those guys don't grow on trees.

485
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: That's true.

486
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 10: And then just the last thing I have is, like

487
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 10: you said, like you said already, just to reiterate and

488
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 10: to bring it home, is this team is not like

489
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 10: I think last year's team would outshoot this team blindfolded.

490
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 10: And if if you're going to sacrifice the shooting, then

491
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 10: you're better well again, not to bring up the twenty

492
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 10: two million dollars, but you better well have a defense.

493
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 10: And I know you built this defense to face to

494
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 10: face the gauntlet of the SEC season.

495
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: But you built this.

496
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: Defense for tonight. Just to be clear, you built this

497
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 2: defense for teams like this. Okay, this is why you

498
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: built this defense, Like like I do, like take last

499
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: year's team. Last year's team would have beaten like Georgetown better,

500
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: they wouldn't have lost to a team like that. But

501
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: last year's team would have had a real hard time

502
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: with this Louisville team, like because they wouldn't have been

503
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: able to guard anybody on the team. So you built

504
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: this team to kind of beat teams like this Louisville team,

505
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: But you gotta go do it right, Like, you can't

506
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: build a team to play defense like that and then

507
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: not switch and do all the things.

508
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: They did tonight. I agree, thanks, appreciate it.

509
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: He's right, if you're gonna sacrifice the shooting, then you

510
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: can't give up all the open.

511
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: Looks we gave tonight, because we gave a lot of

512
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: open looks, and to be fair, we gave a lot

513
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: of open looks in some of these other games. I'm

514
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: really surprised.

515
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: Like they were so good defensively against Purdue, but maybe

516
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 2: that's just because Purdue can't beat them off the dribble.

517
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: These teams that are they're doing these high ball screams

518
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: like we're struggling. Last year's guys weren't athletic enough to

519
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: do it. Shoes guys are athletic enough.

520
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: They're just making terrible decisions. Who's next?

521
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: Todd is next?

522
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: Todd? Go ahead, Todd? Oh, Matt.

523
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 9: I thought Louisville was the best team.

524
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: To I hate for sure that for sure, they.

525
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 9: Definitely looked like the best team, and we did make

526
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 9: a couple of wonderful comebacks. But have you looked at

527
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 9: the full box score yet?

528
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: I did. But what are you talking about specifically?

529
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 9: Well, it's just it seems so even I think we outreach.

530
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: It, except the turnovers to assists, that's the different, right,

531
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: you're right, everything else like like like just to your point,

532
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: like if you look at everything else, Okay, rebounds forty two,

533
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 2: they had forty. Assists is twenty to fourteen. But the

534
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: turnovers is a big difference. Field goal three point percentage

535
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: they were thirty five percent. Uh we were let's see, we.

536
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 9: Were over We were thirty five, I think.

537
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, we were thirty five.

538
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 2: They were thirty two forty seven percent phil goal forty

539
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: five for them. So you're right, but that assist to

540
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: turnover ends up being the big difference.

541
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 9: Yes, And I was trying to find points off turnovers

542
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 9: to see if they don't.

543
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: Put that in the box score, but I saw that

544
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: on social media.

545
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: Here what is he had ten points off turnovers and

546
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: what Louisville nineteen?

547
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's and guess what we lost by eight?

548
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: So right, you know, there you go.

549
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 9: They shot. They shot nine more. They hit nine more

550
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 9: free throws I think than we did. The fouls were

551
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 9: about the same, but they shot like thirty one free

552
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 9: throws were we shot uh what sixteen? Yeah, we was

553
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 9: twelve us sixteen.

554
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, they missed a lot well, some of that

555
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: skewed because we were found them at the end, right,

556
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: So like some of that's that they had more free

557
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: throws in part because.

558
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: We kept found them at the end. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

559
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call.

560
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 2: I think. I think the assist to turnover is a

561
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: big deal. But early in the game, the problem was

562
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 2: they'd made a bunch of threes and we didn't. Now,

563
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: we kind of caught up to that at the end,

564
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: and so the disparity doesn't look as bad as it

565
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: did with ten minutes left. What's interesting, Billy, is we

566
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: got down eighteen in the first half, came back cut

567
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: it to five, I think, and then we got down

568
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: twenty in the second half because we made two big runs, yeah,

569
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: in the first half and the second.

570
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: And Louisville scored on all three of their first possessions

571
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: in the second half. I mean, your hair out, you

572
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: think the game's over.

573
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: And that was a huge I mean the two there

574
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: were five minute stretches that caused us to lose that game.

575
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: That stretch I mentioned where it was thirteen to eight

576
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 2: and then it became twenty seven to whatever, and then

577
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: the stretch there in the second half where they went

578
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 2: from I think the went from up eight to twenty

579
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: in about a minute and a half.

580
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: But still we had a shot. We had a shot,

581
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: but they were the better team.

582
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: Had we won, we would have stolen it. Basically, let's

583
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: do one more, We'll take it.

584
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: And where off Kentucky would have been without Aberdeen tonight.

585
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was well.

586
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: Aberdeen had twenty six, but in my mind I would

587
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: say he was made like what Aberdeen did is what

588
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: I just think Lowsher or excuse me, Oways should have

589
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: been doing.

590
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: Right.

591
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he should have had twenty six, but

592
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying like Aberdeen played like the player that I

593
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: am hoping Oway is.

594
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: And Low.

595
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna be an apologies for Low because

596
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: I just think when he's not playing, this team really

597
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: struggles on offense. But he's got to be better down

598
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: to stretch. He was pit low the last three and

599
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: a half minutes and we don't need that. He I

600
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: think he did it because he was such a big

601
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 2: part of us coming back, but then once it was

602
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: a four point game, now we need you to be

603
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: the point guard that we brought you.

604
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: We don't need you to be pitlow.

605
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: We kind of needed you to be pitlow when we

606
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: were down twenty, but once we cut it the foe,

607
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: now we need you to be That free throw was big.

608
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, man, point guards. You gotta hit free throws.

609
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: One more. Who's next, Dave, Dave, go ahead, Dave.

610

Speaker 7: But I guess I'll just say.

Speaker 8: and then they get surrounded by they're gonna.

622
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Be They're gonna be brutal.

623
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna be brutal because this is like, uh,

624
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, this is their biggest win in

625
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 2: a long time, certainly since COVID, but it's it's probably

626
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 2: one of their biggest wins since before that. You know,

627
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: you're just gonna have to take it like we I

628
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: means a lot we can do about it. I mean,

629
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: they beat us, and uh, they were better, and you

630
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: know they have They're gonna be excited about Michael Brown.

631
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna be explosive for them, and they're really good now.

632
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: I think they're they're gonna have a problem later. I

633
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: don't think their bigs are very good. Okay, so I

634
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: do think they're gonna have some problems when they play

635
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: physical teams, like really physical teams. I think they're gonna

636
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: have some problems because I don't think their bigs are

637
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: very good, although they do pass well. Yeah, their guard

638
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: their guards are their guards are great. I mean Cromwell

639
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: and and McHale Brown are great. And the third kid,

640
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: the kid from Virginia, is a good shooter. So they're

641
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: they're they're good. I mean they're good and we but

642
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: but we we are built to win games like this.

643
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: He constructed this roster for games like this, and it's disappointing.

644
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: I think the reason he sounded so sad in the

645
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: post game is in part we lost to Louis, but.

646
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: In part he really created.

647
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 2: A team to win games like this, and not only

648
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: did not did we not win, we kind of got

649
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: run most of the game.

650
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it's still early, so you know, let's see

651
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 8: what happens. Got along season ahead of us, and we'll

652
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 8: maybe see them in a toument. Yeah, I appreciate it.

653
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: Call.

654
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what happens with Michigan State

655
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: because I think Michigan State will play a lot like

656
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: Georgetown played this. They're gonna be physical, so we're gonna

657
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: need I mean, we're that's a different set of weaknesses.

658
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see what happens in that game.

659
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: But we won't get another team like Louisville until well,

660
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: Saint John's a little bit like that.

661
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: We'll get another kind of test like that with Saint John's.

662
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 2: We'll take a break A five nine uh two eight

663
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: oh twenty two eighty seven.

664
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: We'll take a break right back. Local Toy Dealers KSR

666
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back in his Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show

667
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: AF I'm nine two eight to zero twenty two eighty seven.

668
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: When person rights, Matt, you sound way too negative. We're

669
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: gonna be fine. Well, I mean, we can be fine.

670
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: I still think this team has a roster to be

671
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: really good. But some things will have to change, obviously,

672
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: and we'll see if they do. You know, Kentucky did

673
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: have a chance. People reminded me of getting Caleb Wilson

674
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: who went to Carolina. He could have been that guy.

675
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: He's got to get one of those guys in the

676
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: recruiting class. He's got a chance at two or three

677
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: of them this year. He needs to close on one

678
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: and it hasn't happened yet. Stokes would obviously be one,

679
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: but there are others. Christian Collins, the I think his

680
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: last name is Holt. I don't know the recruiting class

681
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: as well as I used to, but they got to

682
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: get one of those guys. Pat Kelsey dislocated his finger celebrating.

683
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: He was giving high fives and got it stuck on

684
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: a curtain and he said it bent ninety degrees.

685
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So he's such a doing. But but he

686
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: did a good job. I mean he did. He had

687
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: a great game plan tonight and they executed it. Well.

688
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Who's up next, Jordan? Jordan? Go ahead, Jordan. Yeah.

689
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 11: Of all the things I'm disappointed with, I have to

690
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 11: be honest, Brandon Garrison probably tops the list. Defensively, he

691
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 11: is It's like he's lost on everything is his efense

692
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 11: on the pick and Rally's always in the round spot

693
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 11: a lot of those flower screens as you watch a

694
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 11: lot of the times because Garrison is kind of getting

695
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 11: out of position, and when they kick it over the wing,

696
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 11: our guy from the corners come up in health.

697
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 12: And I'll just throw everything up with you.

698
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: I think I thought he in the first half he

699
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: was really bad defensively.

700
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

701
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: He got a little better in the second half, but

702
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: in that first half, you're right, he was. I would

703
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: say three or four of their open looks are directly

704
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: attributable to his screwing up something on a on a switch.

705
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 11: And it's almost like, I know, we wait. You guys

706
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 11: are talking a lot about that second year leaf with Pope,

707
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 11: but it's almost seems like Garrison's kind of regressed or

708
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 11: or at least stayed the same, because a lot of

709
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 11: the mistakes he was making last year, it's like he's

710
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 11: making him this year.

711
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: And colle you would have hoped to have seen improvement

712
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: from Oway and Garrison, right and and and because those

713
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: are our two main returning guys that got a lot

714
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: of minutes, and so yeah, it is a little disappointed.

715
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 11: I just, you know, with Louisville's big I know you'd

716
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 11: mentioned that they're not very good, and unfortunately Garrison and

717
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 11: a lot of White made them look very good. I

718
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 11: just don't know this team. Hopefully Quainton comes back and

719
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 11: is okay, but if we're having to rely on Garrison

720
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 11: for a lot of minutes, I just don't know if

721
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 11: we can reach that potential that winning too.

722
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think moreno, I appreciate the call

723
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: is potentially more of a starter. And you know, the

724
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: probably the person that stayed in front of Michale Brown

725
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: the most were on two plays Yellowvich got switched on him.

726
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: He actually he didn't look bad, he actually.

727
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: Played stayed in front of him both times. I was like, well,

728
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm surprised Yellowvitch didn't get a few more minutes in

729
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 2: the second half. But I do think Pope was I mean,

730
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: Kim Williams didn't even get in a game until eight

731
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 2: minutes to go, so Pope was currently trying to find

732
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 2: what is gonna work, and it just it just wasn't.

733
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 2: Garrison defensively, though, in that first half the tape is

734
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: not gonna be kind to him when they look at

735
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: that in practice.

736
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: What's next, Aaron, go ahead.

737
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 13: Aaron, hey man.

738
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 14: You know, I was at the game tonight and I

739
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 14: thought that's probably gonna be the most electric that the

740
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 14: Young Center has seen in quite some time.

741
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, sure, for sure.

742
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: I mean they had hemispheres in the last few years,

743
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: but then like they get killed at the beginning and

744
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: it goes away like against Duke. But tonight was great.

745
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: I mean I was there the whole first half and

746
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: it was as loud as I've seen it in a decade.

747
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was crazy, and I know that was This

748
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 14: is kind of our first room test, so I feel

749
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 14: like maybe that was a part of it. But it

750
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 14: also doesn't help that it felt like in the first

751
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 14: half they were Louisville was shooting like you know, NBA

752
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 14: two K shots from free It felt like they could

753
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 14: not miss. I'm not super worried about this game, but

754
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 14: at the same time, I did feel like, was this

755
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 14: the game to for Pope to really kind of play around.

756
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 14: I don't really think that he was playing around totally

757
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 14: with lineups, but it felt like he had a lineup

758
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 14: at the end of the game that they could have worked,

759
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 14: and I'm kind of like, why did we wait that?

760
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it took him a long long time,

761
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: not just to put in Cam Williams, but to decide

762
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 2: to go with one big, and I don't I don't know.

763
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to do that a lot

764
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: this year. I think I.

765
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: Think the the strength of this team is on the perimeter,

766
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: and but we got a lot of big guys, and

767
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: I part of me wishes we could trade one of

768
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: those big guys for a Dan I three point shooter,

769
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

770
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: I kind of liked it.

771
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 2: This would be if it was the NBA, maybe you'd

772
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: make a trade for one of our bigs for a guy,

773
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: you know, for a dude like Kobe Brayer.

774
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: So that would be nice to have.

775
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 14: It felt like some of our Sharks lineups were a

776
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 14: little bit of a small ball, you know, with one big,

777
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 14: and I'm like, why didn't we do that a little more?

778
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 14: But I get it, it's still early in the season.

779
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 14: But it's also it's Louisville. Come on, let's let's play.

780
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 14: Let's play our best line up here. But it's pretty

781
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 14: still early, so it is early.

782
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: It is early. I appreciate the call.

783
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 2: It is early, and he got there just kind of

784
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 2: maybe he took him a little bit longer than than

785
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 2: maybe we would have hoped.

786
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: Who's next, Patrick, Patrick? Go ahead?

787
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: Patrick, first time? Long term? Who he Just one thing

788
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 5: I kind of really noticed is paint touches. I just

789
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 5: want to get more paint touches. And I didn't find

790
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: myself kind of yelling run on some of those. So

791
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: shout out to coach cal I guess.

792
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: But oh you mean, oh I see what you're saying. Okay,

793
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: got you. I wasn't sure what you were saying, but

794
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: go ahead.

795
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, just more paint touches. I think the same will

796
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 5: be fine as third game. Man, we'll be fine. We'll

797
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 5: get some more paint touches. We'll figure it all out.

798
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 5: We'll be fine. Go Cats, win them nine.

799
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate the appreciate the call.

800
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we uh, we didn't do a ton of but

801
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: you know we did early in the game. We had

802
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: a lot of good I mean, we kind of went

803
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 2: away from going to the you know, penetrating and kicking

804
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 2: lobb into our bigs. Yeah, they changed the way they

805
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: defended it, and that's just why we got more three

806
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: point looks. I think they were daring us to make them,

807
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: and we really didn't make them until the end of

808
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: the game.

809
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: Who's next, Hunter, Hunter, Go ahead, Hunter, Billy Matt.

810
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 7: That's good to talk to you guys. Hopefully you is

811
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 7: having a great night tonight. There's a lot of a

812
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 7: lot of thoughts that about this game that I want

813
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 7: to reflect on. I mean, it just it just seemed

814
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 7: like we were just disorganized and we were almost rattled,

815
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 7: and it kind of gave me deja vous of the

816
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 7: Clemson game last year. And okay, I almost feel very

817
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 7: deja vu of it with how we played and everything,

818
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 7: and Mike and I think now that this makes the

819
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 7: Michigan State game more important because it's you know, we

820
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 7: got to bounce back. We gotta win this. We gotta

821
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 7: win Michigan State now. Especially well, all.

822
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: Of our games, all of our games in some ways

823
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: look harder if you think about it.

824
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, Indiana might be a little better than

825
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: we thought.

826
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina might be a little better than we thought.

827
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: You know, Saint John's I knew would be good. Uh,

828
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: Michigan State beat Arkansas. I mean, in these non comp

829
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: Gonzaga beats Creighton by thirty. So in these non conference games,

830
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: there were a couple of games that I think in

831
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 2: my mind I was just it's like.

832
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: Well, we'll win that.

833
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: You know, none of these are assured in the non conference,

834
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: So you're right, we kind of need to go get

835
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: there With a Michigan State. You could make an argument

836
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: that of all those five teams I just mentioned, Michigan

837
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 2: State might be the worst of the five, and so

838
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 2: we do need to beat them.

839
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

840
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 7: No, it's much more important though, because we have to

841
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 7: bounce back and we've got to answer this and like

842
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 7: we're just go in it all right.

843
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Apparently there's people online saying, Billy,

844
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: a G five solar storm was reached tonight. It's the

845
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: highest geomagnetic storm level that.

846
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: Can be reached.

847
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: Is that the northern light pictures that I've been seeing

848
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 3: that people across the country or Kentucky have been posting.

849
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: Oh, is that what that is?

850
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

851
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: Something's going on right now. Yeah, that may be it. Okay,

852
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 1: I don't know what those words mean, but sounds.

853
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 3: Like pink and the sky.

854
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha pinking? This guy who's next to Jamie Jamie

855
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: go ahead, Jamie.

856
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 13: Hey, Matt, we were at the game, and to say

857
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 13: it was electric was an understatement. That place was rocking.

858
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean we.

859
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 13: Had Garrett references. There was a guy named Garrett that

860
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 13: did a golf shot and someone said, Garrett, get your

861
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 13: money up. It was it was great. What what do

862
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 13: you think about the rebounding because we out rebounded them

863
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 13: on paper, but I just feel like at the times

864
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 13: of the rebounds, they were just so critical and they

865
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 13: came at the worst time.

866
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, they were, I mean there were, but I

867
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: actually thought we actually thought we were pretty good on

868
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: the glass for most of the game. You are right

869
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: that at the end they got some big ones, but

870
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: as I said, I think it was in part because

871
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: we kind of forced Louisville into bad shots and then

872
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: there'd be like a long rebound.

873
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot. I felt like we got out

874
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: fought for.

875
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: It's just sometimes you know, when when guys are shooting

876
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: long threes, the balls just gonna fall in weird spots.

877
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: And so I actually thought they did a pretty good

878
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: job rebounding most of the night.

879
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, and then earlier guy said something about paint touches.

880
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 13: I agree I mean the foul. The free throw account

881
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 13: was thirty one to sixteen. I mean, I feel like

882
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 13: that's gonna be high. I know we're not a great

883
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 13: shooting team, and we're not a great shooting team. We

884
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 13: got to be a great drama team.

885
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: I agree appreciate the call. I mean, we're.

886
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: You know, everybody. I feel like it could be a good,

887
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 2: really good shooting team. But Aberdeen can shoot. Lowe's gonna

888
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: be somewhat inconsistent, but he can shoot.

889
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: Noah can shoot. Cam Williams made a couple shots tonight.

890
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm worried about our way in shooting.

891
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 2: Chandler obviously can shoot, but our bigs, you know, last

892
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: year car was a big.

893
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: That could shoot.

894
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't know can these. I mean, Yellovich can shoot,

895
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: but I don't know how much he's gonna get to play.

896
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: But like I will tell you, every time Diabat shoots

897
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: the three, I don't like it. But I know he's

898
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: made a couple in the early games with that form.

899
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean they Louisville left him why open. I think

900
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: he took two and they weren't even contemplating gardening. Stew Moore,

901
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: We'll take a break that.

902
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of shooters, it's time for our Johnny Rocker personal

903
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 3: injury attorney, moneymaker of the game.

904
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: Matt all Right, who is that injured?

905
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: Get small town compassion with big city results when you

906
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 3: call the Rocker at two seven oh three two one

907
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 3: four four two nine, And he didn't play till late.

908
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: But I'm giving it to Cam Williams five points, two

909
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 3: to two from the field, four rebounds, one block, and

910
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 3: twelve minutes. He had a team high plus eleven. Uh,

911
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: he is our moneymaker of the night.

912
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: All right, I like that. Uh.

913
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: Jason Riley's listening, He's a Louisville fan, says, sound that

914
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: I sound sad, like I know it's over.

915
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: It's not over at all. I mean, the game's over,

916
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: Season's not over. No.

917
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 2: Now, if we had lost this game by twenty five,

918
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: if we hadn't come back, I think I would have

919
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: been pretty desponded. But I saw a lot of good

920
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: things in the comeback, So I'm no, I'm not sad,

921
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: but I am a little concerned about we get the defense.

922
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: The offense I think will be better, but the defense,

923
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm a.

924
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: Little How much of this is j Qusolf very little?

925
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: I don't think our problem. Yeah, I mean, I say

926
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: very little. He will protect the rim. But we didn't

927
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 2: lose to Louisville because.

928
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: We weren't protecting the rim.

929
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: We lost because we gave him open shots and we

930
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: couldn't guard guys. So he will help, don't get me wrong.

931
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: He'll if he plays, and I'm assuming he will, he'll

932
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: help against a lot of teams. I'm not sure this

933
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: game was the game that it would have made a

934
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 2: huge difference. It'll make a huge difference, Like I think

935
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: he would have helped against Georgetown, for instance, But this

936
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: one we'll see. I don't know we're gonna if we

937
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: see if we were to see them again in the tournament,

938
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to be We're gonna have to be

939
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: a lot better defensively if we're gonna win eighty seven.

940
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break and be right back. It's

941
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: a Local Toy Dealers KSR post game show.

942
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

943
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. One

944
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: person writes, Matt, do you still after this game believe

945
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: Jalen Lowe is the key to the season. Yes, because

946
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 2: when he was good tonight, that's when we played our best,

947
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 2: and when he was bad, we didn't. I mean, you

948
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: go look at the moments where we were rolling the best.

949
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: He was in there with usually with Aberdeen.

950
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 9: Uh.

951
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: I mean our big runs came with him and Aberdeen

952
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: on the floor together and then other guys. But they

953
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: were the two consistent ones in there most of the time.

954
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: So yes, Now, him being the most important doesn't mean

955
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: he's always gonna be good, right, I mean, he's good.

956
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 2: But when he was good tonight, we were good. When

957
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: he struggled, we kind of struggle. He played twenty nine

958
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: minutes plus minus. I'm not sure what it was our

959
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: worst plus minus. It looks like Billy was. Uh it

960
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: was Garrison, is that right?

961
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: I know?

962
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 3: It was oh Way at minus sixty.

963
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: Mean you're see, oh like you? Oh oh Way was

964
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: minus sixteen.

965
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: Yeah see that.

966
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're O take Away, you cannot be

967
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: the worst plus minus.

968
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: On the team.

969
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 3: Second was Diabate minus fifteen.

970
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So think about that. Those are supposed to be

971
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: your two rocks.

972
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah right, those are supposed to be your two rocks,

973
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: and they are your two biggest plus minus. And I

974
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: have to tell you, to be honest with you, it

975
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: felt like to.

976
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: Me they were the two worst moans minus it really did.

977
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm not I It felt like to me that when

978
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: they were in there, we just looked lost, whereas even

979
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: though the other guys made mistakes, we just felt a

980
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: lot more free. And like, hu, that's interesting. Let me

981
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: get who is the best? I mean, is it Cam?

982
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: I guess? Yeah?

983
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: It was our moneymaker Cam and he was going to come.

984
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: Back, okay, and who else? Then? What? Maybe?

985
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 3: Then it's a drop off to plus three and that's Jasper.

986
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he only played like five minutes. Yeah, so that

987
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: six minutes. Yeah, so that's not really.

988
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 3: And then it was Aberdeen with a plus one and

989
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 3: that makes sense?

990
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: All right, who's up next? Him? Tim? Go ahead?

991
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 9: Tim?

992
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 15: Hey, what's up, mister Matt?

993
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 5: What's up, mister Billy?

994
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 15: Thanks for having me. I was just thinking before I

995
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 15: called in, I was talking to my buddy Hollywood, and

996
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 15: I was like, it's funny how things are completely opposite

997
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 15: from last season. I called in last season about this time,

998
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 15: and I was, you know, I think we had won.

999
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 15: Everybody was excited, and I was kind of critiquing and

1000
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 15: kind of worried because I was just not used to it.

1001
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 15: You know because we went from cows a completely different

1002
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 15: way we play. Yeah, and anyway, so now fastward to

1003
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 15: now I'm talking to him, but I'm the one being like,

1004
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 15: it's gonna be all right, man. This is a completely

1005
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 15: different team than last year. Last year we got one

1006
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 15: guy that can drive in four shooters. This year we

1007
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 15: got four guys that can drive in one shooter and

1008
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 15: they're just gonna have to figure that out. So anyway,

1009
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 15: I just think that's funny.

1010
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: But you're right about that.

1011
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: In some ways, you're right about that, and they're gonna

1012
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: have to figure it out. And I guess what I

1013
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: wonder is, I don't know if Mark Pope's ever coached

1014
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: a team like that, and so he's gonna have to

1015
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 2: figure that out because this team.

1016
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: I understand why he built the team.

1017
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: I know he If you want to know why we

1018
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: have this roster, you go back and watch those three

1019
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 2: games against Alabama last year.

1020
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: We really didn't have a chance to win any of them.

1021
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: And I think Mark Pope was like, I gotta be

1022
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: produce a team that can win those games. Well maybe

1023
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 2: he has, but now they actually have to play the

1024
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 2: defense he recruited him to play.

1025
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 15: I totally agree with that, and I think that's the

1026
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 15: statement of the night. I mean, I was saying last year,

1027
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 15: I mean, I love that team, how exciting was it?

1028
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 15: But like, I don't think anybody really ever thought that

1029
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 15: was a national championship win team because of the defense.

1030
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 15: And like this year, he built a team based because

1031
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 15: Bark Postmark and he's like, we got to win a title,

1032
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 15: so I got to get some players, and I think

1033
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 15: they did that. So that's what I was telling everybody

1034
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 15: in BBN just hanging there. I mean, I was you

1035
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 15: last year, and I didn't believe in it, and I

1036
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 15: saw the team change and I understood, and it's just

1037
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 15: your own stuff. But anyways, I wanted to also say

1038
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 15: that I thought it was hilarious that ESPN announcers really

1039
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 15: emphasized how Louisville had only had one sellout in the

1040
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 15: last six years.

1041
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 5: They did that.

1042
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 15: Several times for the game. It was very gratifying to me.

1043
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that really surprised me. I appreciate the call. I

1044
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't know that stat until.

1045
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, they've played US, they've played Duke,

1046
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: they've played North Carolina and their only sellout was this game,

1047
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: which tells you how broken they were, but this is

1048
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 2: going to reignite them.

1049
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: You can just feel it. You can just feel that,

1050
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be what.

1051
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 2: That program needed. They've needed a win like this for

1052
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 2: a while. Let's do four more. Who's next, Brennan? Go ahead, Brennan.

1053
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 12: And that first time a long time?

1054
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: Who What's up?

1055
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 16: So?

1056
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 12: I've been listening to you since I'm twenty nine years old.

1057
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 12: I've been listening to you since I was seventeen. And

1058
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 12: I have to say I'm from northern Kentucky. So this

1059
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 12: one really stings because it's like half of every bit

1060
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 12: that I go to high school with either goes to

1061
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 12: the UK or U of L. And we've kind of

1062
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 12: owned them, yeah, since I went to high school or

1063
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 12: since I went to college. But I do think with

1064
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 12: this the Michael Brown junior, you know you you can't

1065
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 12: allow him to score twenty points in the first half.

1066
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: I agree, But I don't know, like sometimes dudes like

1067
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: that are just gonna do that, you know what I mean?

1068
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: Like sometimes sometimes a guy that talented there's I'm was

1069
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: less upset by the but Michale Brown's twenty than the other.

1070
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: Dude's points, you know what I mean?

1071
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 2: Like you can't let McGraw Brown score twenty and then

1072
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 2: let all the other guys score too.

1073
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: That's the my thing. You got to stop somebody.

1074
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I one hundred agree. But and that that leads

1075
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 12: to Denzel Aberdeen. You know, he had what like twenty

1076
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 12: six or something at the at the end of the game,

1077
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 12: twenty six and seven or something like that.

1078
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 9: But I don't know, is do.

1079
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 12: You think Jalen Lowe is that guy? Like for us,

1080
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 12: like is is Poope's offense? Like is way is?

1081
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: I don't think we have one. We don't have that game.

1082
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 2: We don't have that guy. And that, Yeah, we don't

1083
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 2: have that guy. And I appreciate car. We don't have it.

1084
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: That's the that's the problem is we do not have him.

1085
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: So because we don't have him, we have to you know,

1086
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna have to find other ways to win, because no,

1087
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 2: we don't. We don't have that guy. So you know,

1088
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: there's not anybody as good as him. Michail Brown is

1089
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 2: the kind of dude you don't. Louis has not had

1090
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 2: a guy that good since Donovan Mitchell.

1091
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: So that's the way it is. Who's next? Uh? Monk three?

1092
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 2: More?

1093
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: Go ahead, monk Hey, what's what's up? Is this a

1094
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: Louisville fan?

1095
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 16: No, not at all, buddy, But Michail Brown is real

1096
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 16: bill like he is. I don't know if we've had

1097
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 16: a guy like that at all.

1098
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean the last guy about Louisville or us Louisville,

1099
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 12: Michail Brown.

1100
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 1: So you are a Louisville fan.

1101
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: You just said we You said, you said we haven't

1102
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 2: had a guy like that, which means louis.

1103
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 16: Kentucky hasn't had a guy like that, Billy, Cail Brown.

1104
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 3: Billy, I think he told himself.

1105
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: I think you told on yourself. You gave me the nickname.

1106
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: You called me the nickname that Louisville fans like to do,

1107
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 2: especially old.

1108
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: School Louisville fans. You just said, you just said we

1109
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: about Louisville.

1110
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 16: No, I said we, as in Kentucky haven't had a

1111
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 16: guy like Michael Brown. That that's a baller, like he

1112
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 16: went off like for a reason because he is a baller.

1113
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 16: He's real deal. Okay, true and true cal Macy is

1114
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 16: my favorite numbers four just saying though, like, okay anyway,

1115
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 16: Brad and uh Jordan Lowele, he is our right, Jaden Well.

1116
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I appreciate the call. You don't even know the

1117
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: guy's name.

1118
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 2: He's a Louisville fan, and I listen, it's been a

1119
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 2: while since you all have have decided that you had

1120
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 2: the nerve to call the show.

1121
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: But remember, I sniff you all out like a disease.

1122
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: I could tell when you said we First of all,

1123
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 2: I could tell when you said, Maddie Bank, nobody.

1124
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: Calls me to accept Louisvill fans. I don't even have

1125
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: that hair anymore. Wish I did.

1126
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: And then when you say Jalen Low, come on, you're

1127
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: a little fans.

1128
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: All right, you won, but we called him before he

1129
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: was about to say something bad, Billy, I can.

1130
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've done pretty good. I mean, this is the

1131
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 3: last segment.

1132
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: Two more. Who's next? Tate? Tate? What's up? Tate?

1133
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 17: I mean, I think these Louisvill fans are bad liars.

1134
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 7: First off, Okay, I just want to I just.

1135
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 17: Want to call in and say or ask y'all what

1136
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 17: y'all think about the Mark Pope kind of overthinking these

1137
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 17: big games because I mean we've seen last year, like

1138
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 17: with the Arkansas game, and now this year with the

1139
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 17: Louisville game. It feels like since he like used to

1140
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 17: kind of play for Kentucky, he might kind of overthink

1141
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 17: these games. Like I'm a high school golfer myself, and

1142
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 17: I feel like if I look forward to a tournament

1143
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 17: so much, it feels like he kind of just makes

1144
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 17: me underperform a lot of times.

1145
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 2: I used to say that Rick Patino wanted to win

1146
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 2: the game against cal so much that he would actually

1147
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 2: not do a good job. I think that's possible in games,

1148
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 2: and we don't have a huge sample size, right we

1149
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 2: have the Arkansas game last year, we have this, but

1150
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 2: remember he also he beat Duke last year. He really

1151
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 2: wanted to win that. You know, he beat Illinois in

1152
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 2: the second round of the tournament, which I think was

1153
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: a huge win for him. So I mean, I can't

1154
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: say that's always the case. But tonight I appreciate the call.

1155
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 2: They got out game planned. They did, and it took

1156
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: him too long to adjust. And I think he would

1157
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 2: say that. I think he would. I think he would

1158
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: completely acknowledge that. You know, sometimes sometimes you just get

1159
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 2: you get out out funk. I think he got out

1160
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: funk tonight by Kelsey. And then we just had guys

1161
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 2: who also played really poorly, especially on defense. Let's do

1162
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 2: one more. Who's next?

1163
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 3: Doing good?

1164
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, doing good.

1165
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 18: Matt, I'm doing good. Hope you're doing well. Not real

1166
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 18: happy over the lost to night. However, we'll remind a

1167
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 18: lot of Kentucky's hands. We have a lot of good

1168
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 18: things to look forward to. Number one, we have an

1169
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 18: incredible top five NBA talent waiting in the wings. Then,

1170
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 18: as he was present tonight, let's say, you know, in March,

1171
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 18: a tournament scenario completely changes the outcome of this game.

1172
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 18: We did come back from a twenty point deficit on

1173
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 18: a very hostile twice away court twice. Yes, yes, made

1174
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 18: it very close. So really happy about that. So let's

1175
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 18: not get you know, I give him some Louisville played

1176
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 18: really well. They're a lot better than I thought they were.

1177
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 18: I don't want to really give them much more positives

1178
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 18: more than that. And yeah, I just sometimes it happened exactly.

1179
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 2: The season is so early in the year, is so

1180
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 2: early in the year you couldn't really know about either team.

1181
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 2: I mean, louisll had not played, neither of us had

1182
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 2: played anybody good. Both of us had had what turns

1183
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: out to maybe be misleading preseason games there's against Kansas

1184
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 2: and ours against Purdue, and so like, you didn't really.

1185
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: Know anything about them.

1186
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: So part of what made it so weird is that

1187
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,479
Speaker 2: it was so early in the year. If the game

1188
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 2: was in mid to late December, we know more about

1189
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 2: both teams. But that was kind of why it was

1190
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: such an awkward odd things. You didn't know what was

1191
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: gonna happen, and then we saw what happened.

1192
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 18: It was And here's the thing going forward. Who do

1193
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 18: you think will make the best adjustment for the team, Basically,

1194
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 18: who was the who is the most intellectual coach? I

1195
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 18: I think they're both pretty money on Hope all all day,

1196
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 18: every day.

1197
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 16: Man.

1198
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 18: I think we're.

1199
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 2: Gonna actually think oddly, I think Pope has more work

1200
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: to do, not just because I appreciate the call, not

1201
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 2: just because Louisville's better, but I think Louisville is what

1202
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 2: they are. Louisville knows exactly how they want to play.

1203
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: They've got a superstar young guy. They've got another, uh

1204
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: sort of really good secondary player in Cromwell or what

1205
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: is his name, Cromwell, the kid from Xavier.

1206
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 3: I was seeing them all, yeah, Conwell, Conwell.

1207
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: And then they've got a great shooter and McNeely and

1208
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 2: then they've got some decent that they know who they are.

1209
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: So I think Pat Kelsey's just going to be trying

1210
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 2: to make the most efficient version of his team possible.

1211
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: For Mark Pope, I don't know that we still.

1212
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: Know what we are yet, and so I actually think

1213
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 2: Mark Pope has a lot more work to do, not

1214
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: just because we lost, but because he probably had a

1215
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 2: vision of this.

1216
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Team that I kind of I'm not sure it's gonna work.

1217
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1218
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're gonna be able to put

1219
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 2: O Way, Diabate Garrison out there at the same time

1220
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: in crunch time and win games. So you're gonna have

1221
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 2: to figure out a different way to do it. And

1222
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 2: he likes the challenge. I think he's up for it.

1223
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: But I think we saw tonight that probably what we

1224
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: all thought this team was gonna look like they might

1225
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 2: not be elite doing that. So they're gonna have to

1226
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: do something probably a little bit different. Thank you all

1227
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 2: very much for staying up. We'll be back on the

1228
