26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 5: It's really cold out there. Like they like, you wouldn't

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 5: think there's a big difference between twenty five and fifteen,

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 5: but there is.

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's cold. There's bitter cold.

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 5: No, no, don't say we don't say bud cold. I

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: mean like you got you don't need to say the

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 5: you don't need to say body parks when you do

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 5: the cold.

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: But it is very cold.

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 7: It's very very cold. I have a little bit of

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 7: a walk to when I go to Kentucky games. So

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 7: that was fun last night and that our reaction was

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 7: in the cold last night, so I've.

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Been no you stood outside after the game.

40
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 7: We did how you should watch it everyone. I won't

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 7: say it was our best work. We were very snotty

42
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 7: and very cold, but yes, it is frigid out there.

43
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah it was, uh yeah, it's it was nasty weather

44
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: last last night and today. It's supposed to get better,

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: though I think it's byt tomorrow. Like in the forties

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: before it gets freezing cold again, so hopefully some of

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: this ice will melt. Great game last night for Kentucky.

48
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I think I said on the postgame show,

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 5: I think it was one of I mean, it's not

50
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 5: the best team we've beaten, but it may be the

51
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 5: game that was the most encouraging to me of any

52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 5: of the games because we won not really playing all

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 5: that well offensively. You know, so far this year, every

54
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: game we've won, we've played really well offensively, and at

55
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: least in three of the games that were really good,

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: you know, scored over ninety points. This was a game

57
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: where I don't know that we ever really played great offensively.

58
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 5: We had a little run with Jackson Robinson making shots,

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 5: but in general, they had to grind it out right,

60
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: I mean, it was possessions be grinded out. This was

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 5: the best defense that I think Kentucky's played all year.

62
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: Certainly the best rebounding they've had against a good team

63
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 5: all year. Led total rebounds to me's a misleading stat

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: but they only gave eleven offensive rebounds, and I think

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 5: if you go back, six of those were like just

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: random balls that just went in weird places. So if

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: you're talking about just getting beat for rebounds only happened

68
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 5: four or five times against the best offensive rebounding team

69
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: in the country, Drew. I thought it was just an

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 5: excellent performance and you know what, you win by twelve

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 5: against a team that came in ranked eleventh in the country.

72
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was great to see them bed a team

73
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 7: like that. We know, if somebody wants to run with

74
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 7: Kentucky and Kobe and Jackson are making shots, it's not

75
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 7: not We're gonna have lots of fun. Kentucky's gonna win

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 7: that most scenarios. But were worried about teams like A

77
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 7: and M. They get very physical with them. I knowed

78
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 7: I gotta laugh last night some on Twitter said this

79
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 7: A and M wrestling team is pretty good at basketball,

80
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 7: but that's kind of how they were playing a little

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 7: bit early on. Also a lot of trash talking, you know,

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 7: we wanted. Carr said, we need to find our nasty.

83
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 7: I think A and M might have woke them up

84
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 7: a little bit, because that was the most jawing I've

85
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 7: seen a Vinny games. But I just like seeing Kentucky

86
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 7: have that fight against a team that really likes to

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 7: mucking up a little.

88
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 5: Clear Jackson Robinson, you know. I mean we talked on

89
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 5: the pregame show. I kind of threw out there that

90
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: I'd been told Jackson Robinson had this game circled and

91
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: kind of had like a little thing. And then you know,

92
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: Buzz Williams was said before the game, all Jackson is

93
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: a great kid. We got a great relationship. We talk

94
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: all the time. I don't know, maybe that's like he

95
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: sends texts and they're not returned, because it didn't look

96
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: like to me that they're they have a good relationship.

97
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 5: It was you know, you jaw at him once get

98
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: a technical, and then he did it again at the

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: end of the half, and I thought.

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: Man, there's got to be something there.

101
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: They clearly have something going on.

102
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 8: There's something going on there, some story behind the scenes

103
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 8: that we don't know yet.

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 6: Maybe it'll come out.

105
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 8: I don't know, but I love seeing that kind of

106
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 8: fight in Jackson Robinson, you know, be a little cocky.

107
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 6: I think we need that from him to kind of

108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 6: carry us the rest of the season.

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: I yeah, I loved I love watching him play like that.

110
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 5: And you know, if you were to draw up a team,

111
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 5: if you were to say, Okay, what's the makeup of

112
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: a team that would give Kentucky the hardest time. Probably

113
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 5: you're looking at Tennessee and Texas A and M like

114
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: that's those are the rosters that are probably built to

115
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 5: give us the hardest time this group. And now you've

116
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 5: beat one of and the Tennessee team, which looked really

117
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: good offensively at the end of the year, now not

118
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: as much. So I feel better about those games. But this,

119
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: I actually think these two wins at Missippi State and

120
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: Texas A and M are two massive wins for the

121
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 5: season and give you a room to down the road.

122
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: If you drop a game like you did at Georgia,

123
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 5: it's okay.

124
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 7: And if you had told me before the game, Lama

125
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 7: Butler would have six, Kobe Bradley would have five, A

126
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 7: I would to parlay those two together. But that aside,

127
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 7: oh wait, didn't have double digits till the last seconds,

128
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 7: I would have thought, well, there's no way they could

129
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 7: win that game. And those three guys that have been

130
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 7: such big scores barely getting into double figures with oh way,

131
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 7: and they still pull it off just doing everything else.

132
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: They you know, well, Matt Butler got hit just about

133
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: the most ways you can get in the world. I

134
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: mean he got hit, you know, he hurt his ankle,

135
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: he hurt his knee, he hurt his shoulder, he got

136
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 5: hit in the head, Like I mean that dude, he

137
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 5: got absolutely beaten down. But still I thought played great

138
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 5: defense and kept coming.

139
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 8: Back, got kicked in the face that one time he

140
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 8: was down in the around. I mean, yeah, the guy

141
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 8: probably loaded up on some advil this morning. I'm sure

142
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 8: he's a little sore when he woke up this morning.

143
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 7: I liked, well, I don't like that he had to

144
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 7: go back and get checked out. That was concerning. But

145
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 7: while he was in the back is when Travis Perry

146
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 7: came in and hit a big shot and completely you know,

147
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 7: lifted them up.

148
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: Butler was and Travis.

149
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 5: Perry that was a huge couple made them both thought

150
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: he played good defense. Ansley on the nore they're in

151
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 5: the first half when they really needed points, you know,

152
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 5: I mean in the first half there was a time,

153
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 5: I think with eight minutes to go, we only had

154
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: like sixteen points or something, and nine of them were

155
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: Travis Perry and Ansley on the you know, they had

156
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 5: they kind of lifted the lifted the team up during

157
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 5: that period. Brandon Garrison had some good moments away, played

158
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: good defense, A car was clearly hobbled, but.

159
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: Did all right.

160
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 5: I mean that really was kind of Pope said afterwards,

161
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 5: a gritty like piece things together win And I think

162
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: that's true.

163
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 8: You know, Kentucky's got the oldest team we've ever had,

164
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 8: and yet they have learned how to win these grinded

165
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 8: out type games. You know, these games like we had

166
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 8: against Clemson in Georgia and earlier where we kind of

167
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 8: struggled playing this kind of way.

168
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 6: These guys have learned how to win a game. Now

169
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 6: that tells you how good this team can be.

170
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: Then you had Buzz Williams. Did you like the vast Shannon,

171
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: what do you think of? What do you think of

172
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: the look there from.

173
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: You know, that's pretty much every game he wears that

174
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: three piece suit.

175
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: I think you look good.

176
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's his thing.

177
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: Now. I don't know who that assistant coach is he

178
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: has on the sideline that looks like an English professor.

179
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 5: I mean I thought Buzz dressed a little over the

180
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 5: top that guy. I mean, if you saw that dude

181
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: on the street, of all the professions, you wouldn't guess

182
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: basketball coach would.

183
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 7: You know you're turning a paper into that guy for

184
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 7: the end of the semester that is a professor. I

185
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 7: can't believe Buzz lets another three piece suit that looks

186
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 7: better than his on the bat, so I.

187
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: Was gonna say, he keeps his jacket on so he

188
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: actually looks better than Buzz And then.

189
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 6: The hair, all the hair magnificent.

190
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: And then you know, who knew that you could like

191
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: have plays? I guess, I mean, I guess you could know,

192
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 5: but like they run plays to rebound off free throws.

193
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: They got two of them.

194
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: They so it feels like that dude, you know, he

195
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: got probably too much airtime, but it feels like he

196
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 5: might be good at his job.

197
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 8: Jimmy Dykes was so ready to talk about that, and

198
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 8: then the guy didn't do it the first couple of

199
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 8: free throws, and they finally did it so he could

200
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 8: Jimmy Dyke could talk about how they try to steal

201
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 8: a possession of making a rebound on Jimmy.

202
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: Jimmy got the telestrator out just to circle the guy like.

203
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: Here he is, yeah, yeah, can we can we talk

204
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: about Jimmy Dykes for just a little bit. Did he

205
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: did he take a gummy before he came on the

206
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: on the air like he was a little I mean,

207
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 5: you guys were at the games. You may not hurt him,

208
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 5: but he was. He was on one last night. Well

209
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 5: you didn't hear him.

210
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: Either, Drew.

211
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 7: I can add last night's the most I've ever gotten

212
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 7: text about a Jimmy Dyke's game.

213
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: Something.

214
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 5: I don't know if he was like, you know, let's

215
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: just say this. I'm not like tell him. I'm not

216
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 5: the pr police and I don't work in HR for ESPN,

217
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 5: but Jimmy Diykes, I'd take out of my lingo, the

218
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 5: English or whatever language he speaks for Kirk Creesa Like

219
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: that was one of those lines. He was like kerk

220
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: Creesa and whatever language he speaks, saying blah blah, like

221
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,840

222
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: not over here. We doesn't have a translator. That was

223
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 5: kind of a weird thing to say, didn't it.

224
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, generally I really like Jimmy Dikes when he's commentating

225
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 8: the UK game, but last night, yeah, you know he

226
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 8: talked about from but you know what's happening here?

227
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: You just dropped off the air. That's what just happened?

228
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: Are we back?

229
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: You're back?

230
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: Well when we were? When did we go off the air.

231
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: About thirty seconds ago?

232
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 5: Okay, great, well then you miss you have the new equipment, right, Yeah,

233
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: this place is falling apart. I mean I just got

234
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: new headphones and they have already broken.

235
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: They're a week old.

236
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 6: If that not even a hit this our first week

237
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 6: of using it.

238
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 5: Literally it's they're already broken and I just got him

239
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 5: a week ago.

240
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: I heart I had.

241
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: The contra.

242
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: They don't say the bosses are in town. Now's a

243
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 3: chance to air your grievances.

244
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need.

245
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 5: Anyway, So we're back now.

246
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: You're saying, well, yeah, you're talking to me, Well I

247
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: was talking to you. That's because you weren't on the air,

248
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: all right, shut.

249
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: Up in one of your moods. So anyway, Uh, he was.

250
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: He was a little out of control throughout the game.

251
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: But I'm glad we got to win. How was the crowd.

252
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 2: Good?

253
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 7: We've had some great ones this year. I'm not putting

254
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 7: it in the great category. It had moments like well,

255
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 7: there were a few like the Mary Williams foul. That

256
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 7: was some of the better booing I've heard in reparena.

257
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 7: But overall, I don't think it was the fastball.

258
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: It was. It was a good pitch, but not the fastball.

259
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 5: Everybody might have been cold.

260
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 7: You know, I sit up there at the top end zone,

261
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 7: and here lately they've had their back to the very

262
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 7: very top this game. There are a few rows of

263
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 7: bleachers that I.

264
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: Don't care about, a handful of rows.

265
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 7: I'm just comparing it to pass game, so let you

266
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 7: know that it wasn't all the way to the tip

267
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 7: top as it's been a little bit.

268
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just meant no, I'm just talking about noise.

269
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: If it sounded, actually sounded it did. It sounded better

270
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: on the broadcast, which once again shows that when they

271
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: have it on the SEC network, something's wrong with their sound,

272
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: because it.

273
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: Was a lot louder on the TV broadcast than it

274
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: normally is.

275
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say that you could tell you could hear

276
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 8: the crowd at times, like when Travis Perry hit the three,

277
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 8: you could hear how loud he got. And I don't

278
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 8: know how you don't do the way away away on

279
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 8: those back to back nunks. That was the perfect time

280
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 8: to get it going for.

281
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 5: Somebody texted me and said there were people doing it.

282
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mario said he heard it last night, but.

283
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 5: We just but it still can't get the Scott's Toole crowd.

284
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: I saw Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg was right behind the bench.

285
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: How did you get those seats? He wanted to see good.

286
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 5: Basketball, you know, I mean, he if I I'm surprised.

287
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 5: He texted me and said he was coming, and I

288
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 5: was like, I wonder what the Louisville fans will say.

289
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: And then I didn't realize he was gonna be directly

290
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: behind the bench.

291
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, there were several times they took a shot of

292
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: coach Pope and there's Craig green.

293
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: All right, we're back here at Kentucky Sports Radio. Maybe,

294
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 5: thank you all very much. Yeah, so technical issues occurring.

295
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 5: There's a shock whenever, but we haven't I guess we

296
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 5: haven't had them that much recently, but we do have

297
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 5: technical issues. Shannon, We're got to open up the phones

298
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 5: and if if we lose this while it's getting fixed,

299
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: you just have to go and entertain the masks.

300
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, somebody else trying to fix

301
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: the problem in the meantime.

302
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: All right, I'm nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven.

303
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 5: Go ahead and call in. Let us know about the

304
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: what you thought about the game. So what I was

305
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 5: saying before we got so rudely interrupted by bad technology

306
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: is that going forward d this game makes me feel better.

307
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: One of the things I was thinking going as we

308
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: get into March is Okay, if Kentucky draws Duke, or

309
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 5: if they draw Tennessee or they drawburn or whoever they

310
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: played these tough teams in the tournament, I feel like

311
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 5: we can beat anybody. But then there's also gonna be

312
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: a worry if we play Wisconsin in the second round,

313
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: or if we play a random team Texas Tech, that

314
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 5: we might lose by ten if we're not ready. This

315
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: was a game that was kind of like that that

316
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 5: I think is like the second round game where if

317
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 5: you're not careful, you could drop it. This was a

318
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 5: game like that to win.

319
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you can go back to when Pope first

320
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 7: built this roster. We knew there would be SEC games

321
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 7: that just aren't good for their style of play. And

322
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 7: I think Mississippi State and Texas A and M or

323
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 7: two of the teams that a lot of people had

324
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 7: in their mind, and they went out and won both

325
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 7: of those games. I mean, obviously you drop Georgia, it's

326
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 7: not perfect, but to show you can win games of

327
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 7: physicality against teams that don't score a lot and don't

328
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 7: want to run with you, that just shows that they

329
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 7: can play to other styles and be versatile and still

330
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 7: gonna win.

331
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

332
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 8: I think earlier in the year Kentucky may not have

333
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 8: been able to pull that game off at Misissippi State

334
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 8: or win beat Texas A and M. But they've learned,

335
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 8: like I said earlier, how to play these games, grinded

336
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 8: out type of games that may be in the sixties

337
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 8: or seventies.

338
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 6: I now feel a lot better about how our team

339
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 6: can do it.

340
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: I did. It's the first game they've won all year

341
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 5: with defense, first game all year that you can say, Okay,

342
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 5: we won that by locking them down, We won that

343
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 5: by rebounding. We hadn't won another game this year by defense.

344
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: That's really the first.

345
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: One we won. And Pope pretty much said that.

346
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 7: He was like, I was having nightmares about ball screen

347
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: defense at Christmas, wondering if we'd ever get it fixed.

348
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 7: Going to practice, they collect the data, do whatever they

349
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 7: gotta do it. They resolved a problem and we're moving

350
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 7: on to it to whatever else needs to be fixed.

351
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, the overall, I thought it was good. You know,

352
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 5: everybody loves to talk about officiating. I want to say

353
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: I thought that was a pretty well officiated game. They

354
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 5: missed the goaltending that was. I don't understand what the

355
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: rules are for reviewing goaltending because that, like they didn't.

356
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: Even look at it.

357
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, like he went his hand went through the basket.

358
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 5: They didn't even look at it. I don't get that.

359
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: Why wouldn't they at least look at it.

360
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

361
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 8: This came up one other time in the last couple

362
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 8: of years where there was an obvious goaltending, but they

363
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 8: didn't even go to the monitors to even check it out.

364
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 6: So I don't know what that real is.

365
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: I maybe somebody's got to say go to it. But

366
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: his hand went through the basket, so I'm really I

367
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 5: was supprised. I didn't even look at it. I understand

368
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: not seeing it in real time. I did, excuse me.

369
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was goaltending in real time, but

370
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: then it was obvious on the replay.

371
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I mentioned rough, wasn't that electric moments like

372
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 7: that when we got a replay Jackson's technical few little

373
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 7: moments throughout the game usually booing is when it really

374
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 7: took off the chols.

375
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: These refs have got a calm down, Okay, I mean

376
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: the technical on A and M was stupid too, Like

377
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: it was that was a dumb technical, and then the

378
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: technical on on Jackson Robinson was stupid. And the problem

379
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 5: with officiating is once they gave the stupid technical on

380
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: A and M, they feel like they have to give

381
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 5: the stupid technical on Kentucky to make it even. And

382
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 5: both technicals are dumb, like let them play. I mean,

383
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 5: when Jackson Robinson shoots a three in the corner, the

384
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 5: bench is yelling at him.

385
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: Why when he makes it can he not yell back? Right?

386
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 5: So the dude on A and M, what did he

387
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: get the he got it for like he took a

388
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: charge or something.

389
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: Is that how he ended up getting it?

390
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 7: They had one when their bench went on to the

391
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 7: court early, Yeah, who celebrating a dunk? When A and

392
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 7: M their whole bench went kind of onto the court.

393
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 8: And Sermons already warned him once about it. Then they

394
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 8: did it, so they got it.

395
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: But didn't they call one on us? I mean they

396
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: call the Robinson one, so they got they called the

397
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: one on the bench.

398
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we lost the guys again.

399
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they called the one on Jackson Robinson for talking

400
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: trash to uh to Buzz Williams, which, again to Matt's point,

401
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: I think, uh man, it has become soft with all

402
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 3: these technical fouls that are being called for weeks.

403
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, you can't.

404
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: He was just talking trash to a guy that clearly

405
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: he has some kind of history with.

406
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: I didn't like that way, which you're back? Go ahead?

407
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 5: Were we gone again? Yeah? Go ahead? Yeah, Well we

408
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: also don't know what what you heard there, So let's

Speaker 5: just go to the phone. I'm nine twenty two eighty seven.

Speaker 4: Let's go to DJ DJ.

Speaker 5: What's going on? DJ?

413
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 9: Hey, I was just calling in to tell you guys

414
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 9: that we stopped down there to the bar the weekend

415
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 9: of the Florida game and we're from Henderson. Been trying

416
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 9: to get down there for a while and it was awesome, man,

417
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 9: like ten out of ten, what you know, definitely recommended

418
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 9: if you get down that way and you can't get

419
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 9: into RUP, get into KSR.

420
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much, it's very kind of you.

421
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Sir and I and your check will

422
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 5: be in the mail. Okay, we'll send you.

423
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

424
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 9: God, it's all good, man, I appreciate it.

425
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 5: Speaking of the bar, look at this painting up here

426
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 5: we got last night. So uh Montana Prue prow.

427
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: It she uh uh she I.

428
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: Wrote me and said, look at this painting I did,

429
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: and I was like, man, that is a pretty amazing painting.

430
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 5: And then I said, you know what if I just

431
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 5: bought it from you, could we put it in the bar?

432
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: So I bought it from her, and I actually think

433
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: that's really good. Like she painted all the players in

434
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: the banner. She did not leave space for the next banner,

435
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 5: which is the only complaint I would have about it.

436
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: But it now will hang above us here, Drew, I.

437
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 7: Came up with a great idea with this, because it

438
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 7: is very good. I think we need to have a

439
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 7: night where me, you Ryan, we get canvases and we

440
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 7: sit here and we try to paint her painting because

441
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 7: it's so good.

442
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: Look how good that is.

443
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 7: To taller version, and we hang ours maybe in the

444
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 7: bathroom in the back hallway.

445
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: We think maybe a little art night at kas bar. Well,

446
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: I don't think.

447
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 5: You understand how bad I am at art I do.

448
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: That's the point of this exercise.

449
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 5: I would not be able. I wouldn't be able to

450
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: paint the UK logo, much less Mark Pope's face.

451
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: Hers is so picture perfect. I just think we need

452
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 7: to bring it down a little bit with our attempts.

453
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I do like the addition of it to

454
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 5: the bar, but it is you know, are we on

455
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 5: a pace where people are going to kind of remember

456
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 5: this team to the point that they'll want to have

457
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 5: paintings of it? Like, do you think this team this

458
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 5: kind of group of unknowns that when the season started

459
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: not one person new?

460
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 2: Do you think we're going to continue on that?

461
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 8: I think so, because you know, we as a fan base,

462
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 8: we love the Boogie John Wall team because they kind

463
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 8: of made brought basketball back to us again. We love

464
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 8: the Unforgettables, those guys that kind of brought us back

465
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 8: after the probation. So yeah, I think this team right

466
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 8: now surpassing expectation. They continue to play this way, they

467
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 8: may be up in that level.

468
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, But what's weird is with the Unforgettables, there was

469
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 5: the connection of so many of them being from the

470
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 5: state of Kentucky and then with the Wall Cousins teams,

471
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 5: it was this overwhelming amount of talent that we just

472
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: hadn't seen a dude like John Wall here in forever.

473
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 5: This one's a little different. I mean, these are like

474
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: I mean, their role player guys in general. And I

475
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 5: think the fact that they're all like that Drew is

476
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: in part why we like it so much.

477
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 7: That and their coach has a ring from an all

478
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 7: time favorite team. And then of course you got a

479
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 7: western Kentucky representative, you got an Eastern Kentucky representative. Yeah,

480
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 7: and there's just so much that it pulls people back in.

481
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 7: I noticed last night, you know, in later years with

482
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 7: cal even when they're winning, you know and I you'd

483
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 7: leave early, up ten, you'd get out.

484
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: That game took two hours and forty mins.

485
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 7: At the end of Kentucky got Separation, people knew it

486
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 7: was over when the buzzer ended. I think every boat

487
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 7: was still in their seat and there was a go

488
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 7: big blue chanting around the arena. And then of course

489
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 7: we know they stay for Pope. That's just changed so

490
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 7: much in that building, like people don't want to go home.

491
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 7: I totally agree. And I also noticed watching Travis Perry

492
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 7: last night. Know he's from your part of the state,

493
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 7: he looks like he's.

494
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: From my part of this day. Travis Perry looks like

495
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 5: he's from the mountains, and Trent No actually looks like

496
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: he's from your part of this day. So the eastern

497
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 5: Kentucky it looks like the western Kentucky because I know

498
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: when I was sitting there looking at him, I was like, Okay,

499
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: that may say Lion County, but he looks like Breathitt

500
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 5: County in the way just the haircut and everything.

501
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: Oh we're not so different on each side.

502
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 5: So that's true. I agree. We'll take a break and

503
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 5: very back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. TJ Smith, personal

Speaker 5: Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. Here at the KS Bar

Speaker 5: and Grill at his wings day fighting through some technical difficulties.

510
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: But Matt Ryan, Drew Shannon is in studio.

511
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 5: We figured out there's like some internet problems, so if

512
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: we drop out, Shannon will just take you through until

513
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 5: we come back. I like, how many people are here?

514
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 5: And also working. I'm not gonna tell you're busyiness is

515
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: that you're also working. But that's okay, No, no, you

516
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 5: feel free to work. I'm just saying, if you feel

517
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 5: like this is important enough to come in work, then

518
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 5: I consider that a compliment because something's working here. That's

519
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: that's a right. We have to note. Kentucky wins. Game

520
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 5: ends right after Arkansas goes to oh and four loses

521
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: at on the road to LSU, worst team in the conference,

522
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: beats them. I don't know how much of the game

523
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 5: you all saw, but just think about every road game

524
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: of the last five years that he was the coach,

525
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 5: and you saw it right. They got up big, then

526
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: they didn't score forever. LSU hit shots they probably don't

527
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 5: normally hit, and they win oh and four. They play

528
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 5: at Missouri Saturday. Missouri just won at Florida, So you

529
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 5: gotta think that's gonna be now that Missouri looks like

530
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 5: they might be good. I mean, I watched the Field

531
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: of sixty eight show last night where they talk about

532
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 5: all the games. They talked about very well about us.

533
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 5: They talked about Indiana, which we'll talk about later, but

534
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: then when it got to Arkansas, Randolph children So I

535
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: think it's pretty good announcement. Randolph Childress just said they stink.

536
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 5: He just said they stink. Period.

537
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: They stink, and they stink. They really do. They really

538
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: do stink.

539
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: We knew there was a chance they wouldn't be good.

540
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: I didn't have this scenario in mind. I didn't think

541
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 7: that they would miss the tournament. And it now looks

542
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 7: like unless they turn it around and get some big

543
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 7: wins because they have his opportunities ahead, that they will

544
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 7: not be participating in March. And when they honestly, when

545
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 7: they cut to the bench, and I just saw those

546
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 7: assistant coaches that I wasn't really fond of when they

547
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: were here, and I just thought, you know what, you

548
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 7: took them there. This is exactly what we thought would happen,

549
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 7: and it's happening just even worse it might.

550
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: All right, I guess the guy's dropped out. We'll see

551
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: if we can reconnect with them in a minute. To

552
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: their point, I mean, are you guys back now, I

553
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: guess you're in.

554
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: You're out. I never know if you're on or not.

555
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: I think they're out again, but I mean, yeah, Arkansas,

556
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: oh and four right now to start the sec.

557
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

558
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: The next game they have up on Saturday is at Missouri, who,

559
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: by the way, just went on the road.

560
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 4: And beat Florida last night. So if you know you're.

561
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: An Arkansas fan and you were laughing at Kentucky because

562
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 3: Calipari came to Arkansas, you took all the players from

563
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: the roster last year.

564
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: Now, how do you feel.

565
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: I'm telling you they are not happy down in Arkansas

566
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: right now.

567
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're back. Okay, I don't know, we can't. I

568
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 5: don't know what we're gonna do here.

569
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 4: And you're gone again.

570
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: But you know Tyson Tyson Food that sent send us

571
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: some chicken and was trying to troll us at kas

572
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: Bar and Grill. I think now would be a good

573
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 3: time for us to maybe send a little care package

574
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 3: down their way and uh, maybe trolled them a little

575
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 3: bit since they had their their fun with us when

576
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: the whole season started with Calipari and everybody. Let's go

577
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: to the phones. Let's take some phone calls here. Let's

578
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: go to Jacob. What's up, Jacob?

579
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got you. What's up?

580
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: Man?

581
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 10: First time caller, a long time listener. I just wanted

582
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 10: to say I was at the game. I signed I

583
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 10: took my buddy and Drew said it wasn't loud, and

584
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 10: I can say that it wasn't towards the first half.

585
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 10: But during the bad calls like the Golden and there's

586
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 10: a couple just like Walks they didn't call. We let

587
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 10: him know, like the booze were is outrageous, but I

588
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 10: loved it and go cat.

589
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

590
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: I mean for the crowd that I guess, you know,

591
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: earlier in the year we were kind of critical of.

592
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: I will say it seems like Roperena's been rocking in

593
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,239
Speaker 3: the last few games. May have all started with that

594
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 3: fan that was standing up and got threatened with jail

595
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: time if you didn't sit down. It seems like ever

596
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 3: since then, though, the crowd has been loud. I think

597
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 3: there is something to be said about what Matt talks

598
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: about with the mic placement for the crowd. You know,

599
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 3: it's just louder on different broadcast. But you know, the

600
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: last few games, I have no criticism whatsoever for the

601
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: crowded Roperina.

602
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's been a great atmosphere. Let's go back

603
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: to the phones to talk to Kevin.

604
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 6: What's up, Kevin Hey, what's up?

605
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 11: Shannon Hey?

606
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: Guys.

607
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, they're they're dropped out right now, so we're

608
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: trying to get reconnected. Uh, until then it's me and you.

609
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 11: Wanted to Yeah. So a caller called into the post

610
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 11: game show and was talking to Matt last night about

611
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 11: how it's you know, it's nice to know that if

612
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 11: we do get behind, you still have that confidence that

613
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 11: they're they're able to come back and they're able to

614
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 11: get the lead and get the win. On the other

615
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 11: side of that, Matt just talked about this for the

616
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 11: past three.

617
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: Jumping jump in there. Then guys, we got uh, we

618
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: got Kevin on the line, go.

619
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: Ahead, Kevin.

620
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 11: So for the past three four seasons, it's it's on

621
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 11: the other side of the post game show, the caller

622
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 11: the past three four seasons, when we would get down,

623
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 11: I just hurt. We'd be up, sorry, you'd be up

624
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 11: ten twelve points, and I have this just terrible feeling. Yeah,

625
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 11: they're gonna come back and we're gonna lose, and it's nice.

626
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 11: It's nice. This season, I don't have that feeling anymore.

627
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 11: We get up confident we're going to get that win,

628
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 11: and I'm confident that we can pull it out. Great fields.

629
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 5: I totally agree with you. I appreciate the call. I mean,

630
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 5: this team, one of the things we've seen is a

631
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 5: ten or twelve point deficit. Drew is very fixable. I

632
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 5: mean we were down double digits against Gonzaga, we were

633
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 5: down double digits against Duke. We were down double digits

634
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 5: against Florida. We were down eight or nine points against

635
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 5: against Mississippi State. We were down eight or nine points

636
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: against A and M. I mean, those deficits are fixable.

637
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 5: Whereas in years past, off and it felt like it

638
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: was the death toe. Yeah, I'm pretty tired of seeing

639
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 5: the deficits.

640
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 7: But even last night, in that first half at I

641
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 7: really didn't have any moment where I thought Kentucky wouldn't

642
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 7: win that game. A and M was shooting at a

643
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 7: rate they don't normally hit. Pope even said, you know,

644
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 7: let them shoot the numbers leaving out, so you just

645
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 7: had a comfort like we'll be fine. And a lot

646
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 7: of these comebacks, you think, with the way Kentucky plays

647
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 7: and shooting threes, well, I mean, if they make three

648
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 7: threes and the even come back against anyway, against anyone,

649
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 7: but like Gonzaga, they did it with defense. The dude

650
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 7: come back hit a few threes, but it wasn't just

651
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 7: going Kobe Brady getting ht They found different ways to

652
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 7: make their comeback.

653
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 5: Well, if you listen to Pope's postgame, he said, look,

654
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: we knew there were some guys on their team we

655
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 5: wanted to take threes, and then in the first half

656
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 5: they made some, but we still wanted him to take it.

657
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 5: I think he felt like the numbers would average themselves out.

658
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 5: They did, you know, I tweeted out with two minutes

659
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 5: left in the first half. A and M's averaging five

660
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: threes a game in SEC play, they have seven. They

661
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 5: didn't make another one to rest the game. They didn't.

662
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 5: They missed every three the rest of the game, so

663
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 5: that you know, clearly ended up working out. Let me

664
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 5: go back to Arkansas, though, just for a second, I

665
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 5: was reading their schedule, Shandon, Okay, let's look at this schedule.

666
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 5: You tell me which of these games they're gonna win.

667
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 4: They're at Missouri, who been in Florida last night.

668
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 5: They winning that one.

669
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: No, Missouri's like number thirty in kN punk home.

670
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 5: Against twenty three ranked Georgia, Georgia's rank this week, could win,

671
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 5: could win, But you don't know that they will Oklahoma

672
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 5: at home. I could.

673
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 4: I think they get down. That's their they get down.

674
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: Let's put those and they come here loss, go to

675
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 5: Texas loss, host Alabama loss smoked host LSU. Maybe they

676
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: get that one at A and M loss at Auburn loss,

677
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 5: Missouri at.

678
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: Home, maybe maybe probably.

679
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 5: Texas at home, maybe at South Carolina loss at Vandy

680
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 5: loss loss.

681
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 4: We're talking about a four win season than the s is.

682
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: They actually got a great draw in the SEC. I

683
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: don't know if you noticed that the three teams they

684
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 5: play twice are LSU, Missouri, and Texas. That's not a

685
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: bad draw. I mean we got Alabama and Tennessee twice, right,

686
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 5: I think I saw Auburn got Alabama, maybe Mississippi State and.

687
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: Texas, A and M twice. That's a lot harder.

688
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 5: They end up getting like the easiest draw, and they

689
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 5: still may only win.

690
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 7: Drew four games, and I wonder not to just create

691
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 7: DRAWMA out of nowhere. But if this goes on, is

692
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 7: gonna get pretty tired of losing games? What's Davis making

693
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 7: like two million? He's not doing anything that he did

694
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 7: last several years of basketball as he's down to six

695
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 7: minutes a game.

696
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 5: Okay, again, not trying to crush the guy, but if

697
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 5: you were a kid in the transfer portal, I want

698
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 5: you to think about something for real. If you were

699
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 5: a kid in the transfer portal, why would you go

700
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 5: play for CAW? Think about the transfer portal players we

701
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: had at Kentucky in those last four or five years,

702
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: with the exception of Antonio Reeves, who for his first

703
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 5: year he wouldn't even play. True, they all were kind

704
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 5: of not as good as we thought they were gonna be. Right,

705
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: go back to Olivier sar Nate Sestina, Kellen Grady, Daveyon

706
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 5: Minz like and I think all those dudes were good players,

707
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 5: but I think they all didn't reach their potential.

708
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: And now you take John L. Davis, who was the.

709
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: Number one player in the portal, took a team to

710
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: the Final four, and he can't make a shot he

711
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 5: has he he has like two points a game, Drew.

712
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 5: It's crazy to watch them. They are the worst team

713
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 5: esthetically to watch in basketball that I can remember. It

714
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: reminds me of the COVID team. That's kind of what

715
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: they look like.

716
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 7: I couldn't help but think last night that when he

717
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 7: left here, it was well, I didn't have NIL support.

718
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 7: I'm glad to be at Arkansas. They got my back,

719
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: spent all his money on this roster. But now it's like, well,

720
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 7: you know, he's new. He had a short window. We

721
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 7: mark Pope's where I thought you said the NIL wasn't

722
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 7: doing very well, and he had an even shorter.

723
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 5: He didn't have it. I mean, if he didn't have

724
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 5: in Il cause of him. That's why he didn't have anything.

725
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 5: He didn't have in Ale because of him. And part

726
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 5: of my frustration was he acted like it was us, Oh,

727
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 5: we didn't care. People didn't want to give to him.

728
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 5: It was him he had. That's it. The big donors

729
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: at this school did not want to give to him.

730
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: The collective, they tried to start it. I could go,

731
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: I could go for thirty minutes on when he tried

732
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 5: to start that collective, and what a huge cluster it

733
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 5: was with I told them, do not start this collective

734
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 5: right before the first game of the SEC tournament.

735
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: What if you lose?

736
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 5: They lost? I mean the the video for the collective

737
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: was a summary of how this thing fell apart right. Yes, literally,

738
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 5: the person Ron Brown, who is let me tell you,

739
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 5: the person running the basketball collective is doing a heck

740
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 5: of a job. Like you guys, the great thing about

741
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 5: him is you don't know what he looks like, but like,

742
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 5: because that's what you shouldn't know what he looks like. Right,

743
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: he does an awesome job, and he came up with

744
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 5: this idea, let's do the one Kentucky theme.

745
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: Right.

746
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: We'll get current players, we'll get Cal, we'll get Mitch,

747
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 5: we'll get former players, we'll get the KSR guys. And

748
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 5: the idea is worth putting everything behind us. It's a

749
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 5: new era. Mitch filmed the video, former players film the video.

750
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 5: The last step is they were gonna film something with us.

751
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 5: Cal just decided when he heard it, don't want Mitch

752
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 5: in it, don't want the former players in it, don't want.

753
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: The KSR guys in it.

754
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: It'll just be me and Ree Sheepherd. And then it

755
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: got like ten thousand dollars and then he was like,

756
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: we don't have nil support.

757
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you who does, Mark Pope.

758
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: It feels like they're getting whatever they want, right, it's

759
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: because we needed a breath the first year.

760
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 7: That's wall last night, wh I'm here and never wone

761
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 7: apologize saying, well, it is his first year, give him time. Well,

762
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 7: it's Pope's first year, and I thought the nil's better there,

763
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 7: So how did Mark Pope figure it out?

764
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: Where the nil is so bad?

765
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 7: But they're still apologizing for him, and know some people

766
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 7: now a lot of people turn on him, but I'm

767
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 7: still hearing in Arkansas, well, it's Cal's first year.

768
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: Next year is when he'll really have his class.

769
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 5: Can you imagine looking at your boss who films the video,

770
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: Your boss does not like you, He agrees to do

771
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: this video where he supports you, films it, and then you.

772
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: Find out he kicks you out of the video. Can

773
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: you imagine that?

774
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 7: That was the most sympathetic I've been for Mitch because

775
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 7: right around the time, Mitch did a video with Stoops

776
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 7: and people online were saying, why won't he do one

777
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 7: with Cal? But we knew that he had done one

778
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 7: and Cal edited.

779
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 5: A radio relationship was so bad Mitch did a video

Speaker 2: You're right they are.

815
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 5: But I've done a pretty good job of shutting it

00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 5: all off. Not totally, but pretty good. I'll get like

817
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: one or two days where I get a little antsy,

818
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 5: but pretty good. I'm gonna go into hiding Monday. Monday's inauguration,

819
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 5: but he has the National Championship is Monday Night, so

820
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 5: we're gonna be doing our giveaway for four thousand dollars

821
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: here Monday night, be watching. We'll talk more about it

822
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 5: Thursday and Friday, because we will not have a show

823
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 5: Monday Day because of Martin Luther King Day and the inauguration.

824
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: We will actually be off.

825
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: One person writes Matt, I make a petition that Seth

826
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 5: Greenberg cannot be the halftime host at our games anymore.

827
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 5: I'm with you, and he he's my colleague at ESPN,

828
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 5: but he is so like it is clear he hyper

829
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: doesn't want Kentucky fans to like the team because of

830
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 5: how much he liked Cow. I don't think he dislikes Pope.

831
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 5: I don't even think he dislikes Kentucky. But he doesn't

832
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 5: want us to be like. He doesn't want to be wrong.

833
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 5: He and Jay Williams and all those guys were like, oh,

834
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: you are gonna take a big hit when you lose Cow,

835
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 5: and now they don't know how to handle it.

836
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 7: On that note, can I give the tweet of the

837
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 7: day or kind of the just shocking tweet of the day?

838
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: What is it?

839
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 7: Jeff Goodman took a shot at Seth Greenberg just twenty

840
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 7: minutes ago. It's weird seeing like media people go at

841
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 7: it at that level, these two college basketball guys.

842
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 5: But he said they hate each other.

843
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 7: Gotta wonder what the PR firm of Greenberg, Greenberg and

844
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 7: Greenberg saying about Caliperia now and then he tagged him, Yeah,

845
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 7: so we might have some frek between the Goodman Greenberg.

846
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch it well, you know, listen, I I

847
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: have mixed emotions because I was harsh on a lot

848
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 5: of those guys, often at the behest of cal Now.

849
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 5: I also agreed with a lot of Cow's criticisms of him,

850
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 5: So I don't want to absolve myself, like I thought

851
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 5: those dudes were jerks to Cal as well. But I

852
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: also get it if I'm Jeff Goodman, cal tried to

853
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 5: and may have actually succeeded at getting Goodman fired. So

854
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 5: if I'm Jeff Goodman, I get it. You know, I'd

855
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: be dancing too if I were him. I mean, I

856
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 5: get it.

857
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 7: It's weird turning on YouTube and he's got on a

858
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 7: Kentucky hat talking about how fun the team is after

859
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 7: those early days out.

860
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: It's so different. I get it.

861
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 5: I mean if you had somebody who tried to get

862
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 5: you taken away from the biggest job, and you'd be

863
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 5: the same way.

864
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

865
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, they limited his access to who he can talk

866
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 8: to when he comes to a game. They set him

867
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 8: up higher than it was.

868
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 5: More than that behind the scenes he got tried to

869
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 5: get him out, and like, I get it, you'd be

870
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 5: I mean.

871
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 2: Well, shut up for you again.

872
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, who's up next, Richard? Go ahead? Richard?

873
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 12: Well, I just love this team.

874
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

875
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 12: They remind me a lot of the ninety two team,

876
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 12: got a lot of guts and uh, I'm just tickled

877
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 12: with them and tickled with the job the women's team

878
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 12: is doing. I just think the whole program is took

879
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 12: a whole new look and a whole new face, and

880
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 12: it those the faces of both teams are looking a

881
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 12: whole lot better. And I just I'll make you a preject.

882
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 12: If we get Criasa back and Perry can continues to

883
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 12: improve to where we can really depend on him, this

884
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 12: team's got a shot it.

885
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I appreciate the call. I want Crisa back,

886
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, But if Perry keeps playing at

887
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 5: this level, getting Creasa back is not as important. I mean,

888
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 5: he's you know, Creasa is there for the toughness etca.

889
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 5: But really you need Cresa to play twelve to fifteen

890
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 5: minutes a game, backing up as a guard, and if

891
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 5: you can get Travis Perry close to doing that, it

892
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 5: doesn't become as big a deal.

893
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 8: We're seeing Travis just get more confident every game, and

894
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 8: we're seeing Pope have more confidence in him, letting him

895
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 8: play extended minutes now, not just a thirty forty five

896
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 8: seconds before TV time out.

897
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: I said on the postgame show, A big change in

898
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 5: the last few weeks is we don't see a huge

899
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 5: drop off. When we put in our bitch to Almanor

900
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 5: and they went to Parry, and even when they went

901
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 5: to Garrison sometimes it was it was a significant It

902
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 5: hasn't been that like that.

903
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,040
