KSR Postgame UK MBB vs Louisville 12/14/24

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone.

00:00:01
Speaker 2: It is the local Toyda Dealers KSR postgame show.

00:00:05
Speaker 1: The Cats get a massive.

00:00:07
Speaker 2: Win in the rivalry, the fourteenth time in the last seventeen games that Kentucky has beaten Louisville, taking them down at home tonight in a fun game kind of Louisville's back competitive again, but Kentucky wins ninety three eighty five eight. I'm nine two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. I'm at the KS bar and grill, and we'll be here till the end of the show. Billy I was in such a celebratory mood. I told everybody that beer was a dollar fifty tonight now, and we.

00:00:38
Speaker 3: Were a dollar fifty until ten o'clock. Yeah, okay, that's the stipulation.

00:00:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not it's well, it's until the end of this postgame show. But we got a good crowd here and they seem to be uh just by looking around enjoying my, uh my generosity. And we'll we'll see, we'll see what that ends up with at the end. But with Kentucky great game, a game that the Cats led by four to ten points nearly the entire game. They got up I counted by six times, they got up ten points with a chance to kind of run it away, and then Louisville would always come down. He usually hit a three, get it back to seven, and it kind of fluctuated. Kentucky never lost the lead, but they also weren't able to pull away. However, they still got the victory and really an awesome day for Kentucky basketball.

00:01:30
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler is the story.

00:01:32
Speaker 2: After having not played the last two games with an injury, he comes out and is just excellent. Thirty three points, ten for ten, shooting the third most baskets made without a miss in Kentucky history. Only Rodney Dent and Melvin Turpin had more more baskets without missing a shot ten for ten.

00:01:56
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing.

00:01:57
Speaker 2: All the guys in the top seven are all bits, and he's a point guard and went ten for ten, six for six from three, and a lot of huge shots when he did it. I thought his threes to start the second half were kind of crucial to the victory.

00:02:12
Speaker 1: Just a great performance.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: He controlled the game when he was in, Kentucky was the far better team.

00:02:18
Speaker 1: When he was out, we struggled. I think you if we didn't know before he was the most important player on the team.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: We certainly know now. He was named MVP of the game. I thought it was.

00:02:29
Speaker 1: An excellent, excellent performance.

00:02:31
Speaker 2: So just some thoughts in general about the about the about the game you had.

00:02:36
Speaker 1: Obviously, Lamont Butler played well.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: I thought Jackson Robinson played well without scoring.

00:02:41
Speaker 1: He had eight rebounds.

00:02:43
Speaker 2: I thought he played really good defense when he was his His man didn't really do a whole lot. Obviously, Hepburn and Edwards were their big scorers. But I thought he played really well without without scoring a ton. You know, Otega away for about thirty five you could have forgotten he was playing.

00:03:02
Speaker 1: He didn't.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: He actually was out of the game quite a bit more than usual. And then in the last four minutes he probably makes the three biggest plays of the game. His steal and a dunk was at a crucial time his and one towards the end his three pointer. I mean, always had eight points in the last four minutes, and Kentucky probably doesn't win without him, So thirty six minutes maybe a little slow, but right at the end shows why he's so good. I thought Kobe Braya really struggled most of the game, especially on defense. But in my opinion, the biggest shot of the night might have been his three he hit with the guy on he Louisville was on a run, had cut it to three. He hit a contested three, and while while defensively he was a real weakness, I thought that was a big play in the second half. But overall, hat tip to Pat Kelsey's team. They are obviously a lot better, but they also play hard, seem like relatively like guys compared to some of the Louisville teams over the years.

00:04:04
Speaker 1: I liked Billy the fight.

00:04:06
Speaker 2: It was the has to be the most aggressive fight with no punches.

00:04:11
Speaker 1: Thrown in history.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: Aggressive Yeah, well, I don't even know if there was pushing. I think everybody kept their hands down to the side. I don't really know what Brandon Garrison was doing, but there was a lot of them. There was only one of him. Mark Pope somehow came and it. If you see the picture, it looked like you put Pat Kelsey in a headlock.

00:04:29
Speaker 1: I don't think.

00:04:30
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what he did, but the still framed picture makes it look.

00:04:35
Speaker 1: Like he did. But that's what you want a good rivalry, right like you want.

00:04:39
Speaker 2: Some aggressiveness, and you want some sort of I don't know, you want to see two teams who really care.

00:04:46
Speaker 1: And I think you had that tonight.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: And Mario was just here and he said to me it was the loudest he had ever heard Rupperina. And I think that's during the second half. I think that's another great sign. I mean this, this fan base has connected with this group when you consider when the season started, the fact that there's probably never been a Kentucky team in history that the fan base knew less about than this one. Matter of fact, I'm certain there's never been a Kentucky team where the fans knew less about them. We didn't have any players continue from last year, with the exception of Travis Perry. Most people never even followed these guys at any point in their careers, and then all of a sudden, they're just on the team. And I thought to myself, well, fans connect with a group of guys that they know nothing about. Well, the answer that question is certainly yes. I mean, these guys get what.

00:05:43
Speaker 1: The uniform means.

00:05:45
Speaker 2: And at a time when lots of people, including my good friend Tony Venetti, sit here and say, oh, college sports are ruined. College basketball's ruined. How could you not love this group? This game tonight, to me is exactly why I love college athletics. The fact that some of these guys are getting money out didn't change how hard they tried.

00:06:05
Speaker 1: It didn't change how hard they played, and it didn't.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: Change what the names on the front of the jerseys meant. You had a Louisville player flipping off Kentucky students. You had Peyton Siva yelling at a group of Kentucky students barking back and forth. You had Kentucky players getting into it on the Louisville sidelines. You had Kentucky players throwing El's down after the game is over.

00:06:29
Speaker 1: It was a great chapter in the rivalry.

00:06:31
Speaker 2: And while both teams I think maybe have had more talent, I'm not sure you've had a lot that have cared as much as the guys did tonight, and I think that's what made the win special. Kentucky is now ten to one. They go to New York to play Ohio State Saturday. It's finals weeks. There's no game during the week. Play Ohio State Saturday in Madison Square Garden. Ohio State does not look to be very good. They lost by forty today to Auburn, so a good week of getting rested up, and then they'll have ten days where they'll only have one game before they start SEC play.

00:07:05
Speaker 1: Beat Duke, beat Gonzaga, beat Louisville. It's a pretty good start to the Mark Pope era.

00:07:13
Speaker 2: Also a little special announcement for there are gonna be five Saturday home games this year where if we win the game on the Sunday after the game, we will have an autograph signing with one of the players here at Ksbar. This was game one, so Jackson Robinson will be at Ksbar tomorrow from.

00:07:33
Speaker 1: Two to three point thirty.

00:07:35
Speaker 2: You can come meet him, get an autograph, take a picture from two to three thirty while the Bengals, by the way, are playing the Titans as well. So hope you guys will come out and go watch Jackson or come say hi to Jackson Robinson, and I bet he'll throw some les down for you too if you want. Hey, if I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, I'm gonna take your calls.

00:07:57
Speaker 1: Billy and I are here.

00:07:58
Speaker 2: Billy's off next week, so soon as this is over, he goes on vacation, So maybe we should let this one linger.

00:08:03
Speaker 3: A little bit. No, yeah, we can wrap this one up.

00:08:05
Speaker 2: No, this is Kentucky, Louis Well, we can't be quick with this one. We got to enjoy it. We're here at Chaos Bar and Grill. We will take a break. Kentack, Kentucky. Over the cards. Big Brother beats Little Brother.

00:08:15
Speaker 1: This is the local toy Dealers KSR Post game show Welcome Back.

00:08:19
Speaker 2: It is a local toy on the Dealers KSR postgame Show. U Khon leads Gonzaga forty three to forty as I'm pulling for the Zags tonight. That would help the Cats, especially after Clemson lost a little bit earlier today. Tennessee beats Illinois on a on a.

00:08:38
Speaker 1: Coast to coast buzzer beater. Excuse me, Tennessee.

00:08:41
Speaker 2: Yes, I said, Tennessee beats Illinois on a coast to coast buzzer beater to stay number one in the country. An undefeated great game there where well it was they had forty five free throws Billy in the first half.

00:08:53
Speaker 3: Forty five in the first half in.

00:08:55
Speaker 2: The first half of the I guess they had a meeting and a half time there were only like six in the second half.

00:08:59
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know how you call it.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: Speaking of officials, by the way, Pat Adams come on, dude, like, you know the era of sort of look at me officials in college basketball, which was a huge thing even when I was a kid, it's kind of come close to ending. There are not many of those guys still left doing it. There are a handful are guy Dougie Shells and uh, you know what's the one guy's name, Oh.

00:09:28
Speaker 3: Man, the one with the roofing company.

00:09:31
Speaker 2: No, no, he doesn't, he doesn't do it anymore. The guy well, I can't remember his name. I could picture him. He always he always used to tee up cow. Well, he's not going he retired. He retired to but Pat Adams is still going strong on that. And tonight he had some epic Pad Adams moments, I mean culminating for me when he a guy called a foul and he ran over and said, that's not who foul and the guy was like, I'm the one that called it.

00:10:02
Speaker 1: I think I know who found They go to the monitor, and of course Pat Adams was wrong.

00:10:06
Speaker 2: And then during the fight thing Billy he comes on there, and he like gives like an exposition to say that they were calling any nothing on anyoneations Pat Adams, You talk about a dude that loves to see his face on television. I didn't think it was a poorly officiated game in general, but Pat Adams was specifically bad.

00:10:27
Speaker 1: All right, let's get started. Who's up first? Chop Chop? How are you chopped?

00:10:33
Speaker 4: I'm good man, how are you?

00:10:34
Speaker 5: First time?

00:10:34
Speaker 6: Long time?

00:10:35
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

00:10:38
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:10:39
Speaker 8: So I've never called him before, but I'm a Cincinnati fan but also a Kentucky fan, so I hope, I hope you'll have me. But all I want to say is all season long and then leading into the season, you said that Jack and Robinson would be our best.

00:11:00
Speaker 9: Player, and I think you know, I think he's good, and but I also think Lamon Butler obviously showed that he is our best player, and I just wanted to get your thoughts on that.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe he appreciate the call. He may be our best player. I mean he's certainly, without question, our most important player. I mean we're a different team when he's not in there.

00:11:27
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:11:28
Speaker 2: And that's even more true now that kerk krisa is out, we have to have him in. I thought Pope managed his minutes very well. You know, Travis Perry didn't score, and you know he got beat a couple of times on defense. But I thought his seven minutes were actually important because you got to get you had to get Lamont Butler a rest. But Lamont is is is great. I think Jackson's very good too. I mean, we don't beat Gonzaga without without Jackson Robinson. But Lamont Lamon's the most important player on the team. He's the leader. And the thing he's doing that is different than what he did. He was a great defender at San Diego State, but his his sort of rep was get to the rim.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: But he can't finish well.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: He's finishing this year and that's really making a huge difference for Kentucky because you know we've talked about are the guys that can go get their own shot. He can't do it against everybody Butler, but he can do it against a lot of guys, and that's important. It was especially important tonight where he got some when our offense was stagnant, got some big buckets at the rim.

00:12:31
Speaker 1: Who's next? Brock Brock what's up Brock?

00:12:36
Speaker 10: First time?

00:12:37
Speaker 11: Long time?

00:12:37
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

00:12:40
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:12:40
Speaker 2: Quick question there?

00:12:42
Speaker 12: What's up with Colin Taylors And it's playing time?

00:12:46
Speaker 1: He's not as good as everybody else.

00:12:47
Speaker 2: The answer to every question on that, unless you're talking about Cale with Reed Shepherd and Rob Dilling him is he's not as good as the other guys. I mean, you've seen Colin Chandler this year. He's playing a lot of guys games. Has he been as good as the other guys.

00:13:01
Speaker 13: That pretty well during the exhibition game?

00:13:06
Speaker 1: Well, but that's in the exhibition games.

00:13:08
Speaker 2: He's playing against people like me and yeah, okay, I mean, I mean we put him in against Gonzaga. He played, he had to play against Gonzaga and he got worked. So I mean I I like Colin Chandler. I think he can be really really good here, but he's not as good as the dudes that we have.

00:13:24
Speaker 1: So right.

00:13:26
Speaker 12: I didn't know if I meant anything, if it was any injuries or anything, but quick shout out to Billy Rutlid's there, he's the man.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: Not two for two.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call. Yeah, but see the person who's asking after we beat Louisville while we don't play Colin Chandler more. That's a billy rutledge fans.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: That's fine, I'll take all of them. All fans are welcome, Okay.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: No, I mean the answer for all these guys is all He's going to be the same. You know, we know it is clear who our guys are.

00:13:57
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:13:59
Speaker 2: I think we have five guys. I think we have four guys that are better than everyone else. I think Butler, Robinson Carr in no way are best four players. I think Brea is a great shooter, so he slots in at five, but he can't defend Amari Williams frustrates me because he is either I don't know what you think about this billy, but he is either like a bundle of energy or like.

00:14:26
Speaker 1: Slow to the ball and looks like he doesn't care.

00:14:29
Speaker 2: It's it's so weird because he plays with energy. He's everywhere but tonight. I mean, he only played fifteen minutes and when Pope pulled him after he got beat a few times at the beginning of the second half, he didn't put him back.

00:14:41
Speaker 3: In this game.

00:14:43
Speaker 14: Specifically, there are a couple times he just didn't put his hands up to continue.

00:14:46
Speaker 2: To put his hands up, and he made some bad decisions, and so he's kind of feast or famine. Brandon Garrison's got a lot of energy, makes mistakes, very athletic, but makes a lot of mistakes. I would put him then at at seven, and then I think there's a big drop to everybody else. Almanor's probably eight, and then you know, curs out. So then basically ten, eleven, twelve with Chandler, Perry Noah. Just depends on the situation. But in my opinion, you got five guys throwing, Williams and Garrison and almon Or. You got eight guys. You're gonna play a lot and really, though you know you're five. I mean, at the end of the game, Garrison and Williams hit went on the bench, they played Carr went small, and that's their best team. That's their in my opinion, their best team is Car at the five and then the four other guys. That's their best team. But they but you know they're gonna be guys.

00:15:44
Speaker 1: You have teams.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: You have to play Williams, Uh and Garrison against who's next?

00:15:48
Speaker 1: Rick? Rick?

00:15:49
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Rick, Hey, guys, love this team, love what Pope's doing, and I've got a name for this team that may be a little early, yes, and it may have been brought up, but how about the stray Cats, and they could they could play the stray Cat strut when they come out onto the court.

00:16:10
Speaker 1: You know, I actually don't. I don't hate that they.

00:16:12
Speaker 10: Were from everywhere else and so books like herding Cats.

00:16:17
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about the hurting part, but actually kind of like I appreciate the call. I'm not going I mean, you know, I hate nicknames, but Billy actually kind of liked that one because there is a little bit about that, like these were kind of all people from everywhere, and I don't think they were unwanted.

00:16:32
Speaker 1: I mean, they were all very good players on their various teams. But it is a little bit of that in a billion.

00:16:37
Speaker 3: It is, I mean, there's a little logic behind it. It just it didn't do it for me.

00:16:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's also not necessarily complimentary, right, Like people don't always when they when they say stray Cat, they're not always thinking something complimentary.

00:16:52
Speaker 3: But Drew had the right idea.

00:16:54
Speaker 14: The the Remarkables, the Marksmen, No, the Island of Misfit Toys.

00:17:01
Speaker 1: That's the worst one. You cannot call.

00:17:03
Speaker 3: I don't even know where from what I mean, you've never heard of the no no I do from Rudolph. But like, what was that person thinking when they know that?

00:17:11
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a very complimentary one.

00:17:13
Speaker 3: Who's up next, Isaac?

00:17:15
Speaker 1: Isaac? Go ahead, Isaac?

00:17:19
Speaker 15: Hey man, are you?

00:17:21
Speaker 1: I'm good?

00:17:24
Speaker 15: I just got two things. Number One, Lamon Butler is one of my favorite point guards. I think in a long time. He kind of reminds me of Tyler ulss Is because he's short and he's really tough, kind of unassuming, but as tough as a male kids. I just love watching him play.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: I do too. I think he is. I think he is. He is so tough and he's smart. I mean, one of the things that's great about this team, with how with how old they are, is that they are so smart.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: I mean, they they're they're.

00:17:56
Speaker 2: The basketball IQ on this team is really high, and I agree with you, it's after watching a lot of young teams.

00:18:01
Speaker 1: It's fun to see that.

00:18:04
Speaker 15: And my second thing to all the Louisville fans coping saying if we were healthy, we would have won this game, and all this gotta feel like a loss to Kentucky because it didn't cover I don't you got al down go cap.

00:18:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to hear that.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: When people say, well, if we were healthy, you know, Louisville fans, if we were healthy, we would have won. I mean you stop, okay, stop, Your two best players played. They were without the guy who got hurt with the blonde hair, and that does hurt them.

00:18:33
Speaker 1: But they you know, we didn't dominate them down low.

00:18:36
Speaker 2: To be honest, they out rebounded us on the offensive glass at least early.

00:18:40
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not gonna listen to that.

00:18:43
Speaker 2: If they had had another guy, the score would probably been about the same because they also kind of I mean.

00:18:49
Speaker 1: They hit a lot of threes.

00:18:50
Speaker 2: They were three hundred and forty fourth in the country in three point shooting, and while their percentage wasn't great tonight, they made like fourteen of them or fifteen.

00:18:57
Speaker 1: I mean they ended up making fifteen. That's not their.

00:19:00
Speaker 2: Norteen, Okay, So I mean that's what they took thirty nine, So it's not a great percentage. It's like thirty seven percent. But you know they've been shooting twenty seven percent. So I don't want to hear that who's up next, Chris? By the way, uh, Kentucky just got a commitment from the transfer portal. Marshall linebacker Landon Watson is coming to Kentucky. I will say, you know, we still are waiting on the Vince Marrow what happens there, and I think we'll probably no more tomorrow. But those are two really good gets today in the transfer portal. There's been a lot of bad news with Kentucky football. But Sam Green, the edge rusher from USC, and then this Landon Watson was maybe Marshall's best player. So those are two good gets to start their transfer portal.

00:19:45
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, Who's next, Chris? Chris? Go ahead? Chris.

00:19:50
Speaker 16: I just want to say I love watching this team. But one thing I think that gets lost about maybe you've said it on your show, is typically when they're the coaching changeover, you know, you have players from the previous coaching staff that stay, and you know one could argue, oh, and you know they're doing good because it's the other coaches guys kind of thing. But one of the things I love, and I think it's special, is these are all Mark Pope's guys. We don't have that gentleman over in Arkansas saying, you know, those are my guys. You know, that's why you know, it's you know, to me, that's one of the things that makes this whole thing so special.

00:20:28
Speaker 1: I agree with. I mean, yeah, I mean they are. I appreciate the call they are.

00:20:34
Speaker 2: I mean, it's by the way, my mom is endorsing stray Cats too, Billy.

00:20:38
Speaker 3: Oh, well, game over now.

00:20:41
Speaker 1: But no, they are. I mean they're all from all over.

00:20:43
Speaker 2: This is There have been multiple commentators now say they think Mark Pope is the early season coach of the year, and I kind of agree with that. I mean, while these guys are like they're better than their individual talents, do you.

00:20:59
Speaker 1: Agree with that, Billy, Like, they're like, there's.

00:21:01
Speaker 2: No pros on this team in my opinion, I hope so, but I'd be surprised if any of these guys play in the NBA.

00:21:09
Speaker 1: In the future.

00:21:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no doubt they're greater.

00:21:13
Speaker 2: But the whole is greater than the sum of the part, exactly. I mean, Antonio Reeves is better than everyone we have on this team, and he, you know, is a although he had twenty eight in the game, he's kind of a fringe NBA player right now. I don't think we have any NBA players on this team. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. But like, it doesn't matter because they are really, really, really good college basketball players and that's just very different than what we're used to.

00:21:39
Speaker 1: What's next, wit j wit go ahead, mad?

00:21:45
Speaker 17: How about them cats?

00:21:47
Speaker 16: Baby?

00:21:47
Speaker 17: That's all I got to say. Mark Pope, the Pope trained growing I said, since pre season, let's go BBN for like BBN forever, let's go.

00:21:58
Speaker 2: I love it, love it. That's I love that. Now there's some people Billy who are saying to me that a blue coat. All right, so I'm gonna read you. Have you seen this tweet about the guy at the game.

00:22:12
Speaker 3: Are you talking about the police officer?

00:22:14
Speaker 2: That a police officer came and told fans in the lower level if they didn't sit down.

00:22:18
Speaker 1: They would go to jail again.

00:22:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously we don't know if that's true or not. If it is, I don't think it's a crime to stand during games. I'd have to see the code to see the statute where.

00:22:38
Speaker 1: It says that. But you know that's we shouldn't be doing that.

00:22:43
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's a couple of people saying that happened, And there's a video of the of the officer walking down, so but we didn't hear the conversation.

00:22:50
Speaker 1: So that is important to also know who's next?

00:22:53
Speaker 3: Lane is next lane?

00:22:54
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Lane?

00:22:57
Speaker 10: Hey man?

00:22:58
Speaker 1: What's going on?

00:22:59
Speaker 11: Go cat?

00:23:00
Speaker 18: The first time?

00:23:00
Speaker 12: Long time?

00:23:01
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

00:23:04
Speaker 9: Man?

00:23:04
Speaker 6: I got two things for you.

00:23:06
Speaker 19: What about the guy in.

00:23:08
Speaker 12: The short across from Kelly Kraft in the front row cheering on the Wildcats?

00:23:13
Speaker 7: Baby?

00:23:15
Speaker 1: Who was that?

00:23:18
Speaker 5: I have no idea seeing him on the television, wanted to.

00:23:21
Speaker 20: Shout him out On my first thing.

00:23:24
Speaker 10: I got one more thing for you.

00:23:28
Speaker 19: What about Mark Pope putting Pat Kelsey.

00:23:31
Speaker 12: In a headlock?

00:23:32
Speaker 20: In that stuffle we.

00:23:33
Speaker 1: Had, Yeah, what do we think about that? That's did you? Did you? I don't think he was trying to, but it's what it looks like.

00:23:42
Speaker 20: Well, he kind of pulled up the big daddy versus little daddy, showed him who was foss in reperena.

00:23:48
Speaker 6: It kind of showed him what the deal was.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: I mean, it does look like that Billy, didn't it. I mean it kind of it looks like a little bit.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: That's what we'll remember that and the flipping the off the fans.

00:23:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I like it. I agree with you. I appreciate to call that. I think in this game, when we look back at this rock, you know, every Kentucky Louisville game, there's like one or two things you can remember. This one will be Lamont Butler went ten for ten and then probably that little uh, that little scuff on the sideline.

00:24:16
Speaker 1: Those will probably be the two things that people remember from this game.

00:24:20
Speaker 2: And you know, Lamon Butler goes into the lore of great of big time players that made their play against Louisville. I mean, he joins Jim Master, Cedric Jenkins, Patrick Sparks, Tyler Ulis, Antonio Reeves last year, who had thirty against Louisville. I'm trying to think, who are the other kind of Louisville takedowns over the years.

00:24:46
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember remember the.

00:24:47
Speaker 2: Play where Willie stole it from Montrance Harrell and dunked and then looked back at him.

00:24:52
Speaker 1: That's one that I remember pretty well.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: So he kind of I think Lamont Butler joins that list of Kentucky guys that we will always remember their performance. Georges in the game against Louisville George had his coming out party against Louisville that season, so I think he joins joins that group.

00:25:11
Speaker 3: Who's next, Jerry, Jerry, go ahead.

00:25:13
Speaker 1: Jerry, Hey, what's up?

00:25:15
Speaker 13: Matt Jones? Thank you man, taking my call, but I would think of bothering me back to Tucky is right now? Is that predator? Deepense? Man? I think we just well, we're not We know they're not coming into white kids. You's left handed and the guard they was gonna take off the game. But at the end of the day, we wanted the game. Don't get me wrong. I bet Louisville man, and I want good money. I took his spreads, but at the end of the day, go cast man, thanks for taking my car.

00:25:43
Speaker 2: No Cats, Yeah, they play hard defensively, but we're not a great defensive team on the perimeter, you know. Butler's got really good Bray is not away and Robinson are okay, alm Nor's not good at defensively, Parry's not very good, cars not very good. Williams is pretty good, but but can still get beat. We're just we're not a great individual defensive team, but when we give effort, we are a team that can still hustle and get a lot of accomplished, but no, we're not a great a great team defensively, especially on the perimeter. A I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna take a break. We are here at KOs bar and Grill had had a great set of crowd here all day before after and now or before during and now after the game, and uh, we'll do thirty more minutes and then Billy gets to go on vacation.

00:26:36
Speaker 1: This is the Local Toilet Dealers KSR postgame Show. Welcome back.

00:26:40
Speaker 2: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. Are you coming up for a picture? You could come up and take a picture. We're still I'm still doing the show. But that's all right. We'll uh, we'll do it while this guy's giving us comment eight. I'm nine twenty two eighty seven.

00:26:53
Speaker 3: Who's up first with Rance? Is next?

00:26:56
Speaker 1: Rance? How are you rants?

00:26:59
Speaker 7: All right? Man? You know, a gritty win. I think we had to grind it out, you know, I think it was a grinding victory, a good win. But I got some stats I want to throw at you, and if you can just explain them for me, I'm kind of confused. We out rebound them forty one thirty one. We have eleven turnover to their seven. Yeah, but we only get up fifty five shots to their seventies.

00:27:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good I thought the disparity at halftime was even more surprising. I think we went to the line more than they did. Am I right about that? How much did we How many free throws did we shoot?

00:27:36
Speaker 3: We were eighteen of twenty eight fourteen.

00:27:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we took fourteen more free throws, which is basically seven more possessions. So seven of the possessions go down to us end and up shooting free throws. The turnovers I think makes some of the difference. And then their offensive rebounds they at least in the first half had five offensive rebounds, we had one. I'll have to look up for the game here. They had ten and we had seven. So I mean that that explains the difference in possessions, but it is a weird score sheet. Well, for exactly like you said, they ended up get up fifteen more shots than that we did, but we out rebounded them. That's kind of odd, but I think it was it was the reasons I just said.

00:28:22
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not sure, but if you don't get immedia that when the ball comes off the rim, if you don't get immediate, if one team or the other doesn't get immediate, procession becomes a loose ball correct, And maybe that's part of it.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: It could be.

00:28:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the ball can bounce and still be called an offensive rebound. But then if it like we're to get kicked to half courd, it's not considered an offensive rebound. So U.

00:28:45
Speaker 1: But most most of the.

00:28:47
Speaker 2: Time, when the ball on a missshot from my day's scorekeeping, you almost always end up giving a rebound unless it like becomes a loose ball situation.

00:29:00
Speaker 7: Well, I think Louisville got in there and mucked up. They know they did.

00:29:04
Speaker 2: That's how they play. The only surprise was that they scored a lot. I mean, they played exactly like they've played all year. The only surprises they scored eighty five points.

00:29:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, and a lot of those were off I don't know if the rebounds or offense rebounds or got loose balls of what, but they seem to out hustle us to a lot of balls.

00:29:24
Speaker 4: Man.

00:29:25
Speaker 1: I think they did for part of it, and I appreciate the call.

00:29:27
Speaker 2: I do think they out hustled as some listen, they played hard, but you know, I mean they hit. So they hit fourteen threes, but nine of them were Edwards or Hepburn. So I mean Edwards and Hepburgh go nine for eighteen. They shoot fifty percent from three. The rest of their team went five for twenty. So two guys shot fifty percent and the rest of the team shot twenty five percent. And you know the problem was, we just gave up too many looks to those two guys, especially, I mean Edwards was in foul trouble a lot of games, so he he ended up playing Let's see, he only ended up playing how many minutes? Edwards ended up only playing thirty He missed ten minutes, but he ended up getting up seven threes and fourteen shots.

00:30:12
Speaker 1: We gave him too many looks. Who's next?

00:30:14
Speaker 3: Moffatt, Moffatt?

00:30:16
Speaker 1: How are you Moffitt?

00:30:18
Speaker 7: Hey good man?

00:30:19
Speaker 18: First time, long time?

00:30:20
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

00:30:23
Speaker 13: Oh man?

00:30:23
Speaker 12: You know just over here celebrating this win?

00:30:26
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:30:27
Speaker 12: Uh, you know, I really liked that wrestler move.

00:30:31
Speaker 19: I saw Mark Pope put on Louisville's coach over there.

00:30:34
Speaker 1: Side headlock. Got it was a side headlock right now, we just finished. We just finished the main.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: Event at Christmas Chaos for OBW, and there wasn't a better headlock I'm sure than what Mark Pope put off.

00:30:45
Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because they got me thinking, who do you think.

00:30:49
Speaker 18: Would win in a cage match between Mark Pope and Shannon the Dude?

00:30:52
Speaker 2: Well, I think everyone that you know outside of Billy R Sports would win in a fight against Shannon the Dude. I would certainly put pick Mark.

00:31:04
Speaker 4: I love it.

00:31:05
Speaker 2: I love this team.

00:31:06
Speaker 18: I love Mark Pope.

00:31:08
Speaker 1: Go Big Blue.

00:31:09
Speaker 2: Appreciate its calm. Uh yeah, and thanks to all the people who came. We had a huge crowd at ov W in Georgetown and sold out tonight in Louisville.

00:31:16
Speaker 1: So uh it was it's it was a good.

00:31:18
Speaker 2: A lot of people went after the after the basketball game, went and watched the show there Who's next?

00:31:22
Speaker 3: Bones?

00:31:23
Speaker 1: Bones?

00:31:24
Speaker 2: How are you good?

00:31:27
Speaker 20: What's going on with fellas? That's two in a row my birthday week? Man, So I just got a couple of real quick observases.

00:31:33
Speaker 13: Man.

00:31:33
Speaker 20: So, for one, Kobe Bray is still kind of getting tours on defense, but he's getting better. But how about him actually looking for the drive and actually beat his man once or twice off the drill.

00:31:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was nice, and it was nice he played.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: I actually thought he played well offensively. He played well offensively. He missed a couple I think he would normally make. I mean defensively, he's just not good, and I don't think that's getting better. But if he's hitting the threes, if he's hitting the threes and getting those drives, it's okay.

00:32:01
Speaker 1: Right.

00:32:01
Speaker 20: And then a number two like in that little scrum there when Garrison and that guy would happen. If you look, Garrison tries to step over the guy after the fouls call when he raised his hands, and one of the Louisville players I'm not sure which one it is, whoever's in his face, actually hugs Garrison and pulls him into the scrum. So I think you're trying to get some dirty shot.

00:32:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

00:32:24
Speaker 2: So I went back and looked at that. It might be how you describe it. It also might be he did one of those things where you hold your hands up but you keep walking towards the guy.

00:32:36
Speaker 1: So I don't really know. It was hard to see.

00:32:39
Speaker 20: Yeah, I didn't really tell anybody he definitely see his hands around it. But I was glad to see Mark Pope going there. And the first thing he does and started to splitting everybody out of there and putt him in a headlock, was just to get to Garrison and get him out of.

00:32:50
Speaker 10: The scrub, which is what he needs.

00:32:51
Speaker 1: He went and then he stopped Oway.

00:32:53
Speaker 2: You know, oh way, both of the real scuffles we've had always been right in the center, both of them.

00:32:58
Speaker 1: That dude's ready to go.

00:33:01
Speaker 20: Yeah, and then Oway is like our enforcer. But if you kind of go back and watch the game, I'm a little concerned. I don't know if it was the switch or if it was the screen, but a lot of the times Oway kind of got lost and that's how we kind of left them. And I was kind of disappointed that we weren't pushing out the threes because that's what Louisville's number known for because they don't have any insight game. But either way, great wins go cast. Appreciate you guys taking my call. Love you guys that thanks.

00:33:26
Speaker 1: Appreciate its call.

00:33:27
Speaker 2: I'm not in any way complaining because we won the game, but there is a sense for me where I think Oway and Brea especially just didn't really play smart on defense because they gave away the only thing you didn't want to.

00:33:40
Speaker 1: Give away to Louisville, which is threes.

00:33:42
Speaker 2: I wanted Kentucky to make Louisville beat them off the dribble, and in the last five minutes we did, and they weren't able to do that. Yeah, we gave them too many three point looks now. I mean that may have been the game plan because they don't shoot the ball well from three normally, But tonight they made a bunch of them.

00:34:00
Speaker 1: Who's next? JT JT? How are you? JT?

00:34:05
Speaker 16: Hey?

00:34:05
Speaker 8: Matt, just want to give a shout out to those Louisville Cardinal basketball managers.

00:34:11
Speaker 7: I hope that was a big win for then last night.

00:34:13
Speaker 16: I know the real players.

00:34:15
Speaker 6: We're fourteen to seventeen in the last seventeen So as long asar players in the league and their players are coaching, I think they got a good shot in those manager games.

00:34:25
Speaker 1: But did they play I mean did they Yeah, did they play Peyton Seeve ain't in that game?

00:34:30
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like I said, that doesn't seem fair if they did that.

00:34:34
Speaker 1: Peyton Steve is too good to be playing in a manager game.

00:34:36
Speaker 2: What do you think about Peyton sever kind of talking trash with the students.

00:34:39
Speaker 1: Are you good with that, Billy? Yeah?

00:34:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm fine with the drawing.

00:34:43
Speaker 14: I don't know if it was Peyton that started it, so I'm sure he just kind of gave it back a little bit. That's part of the rivalry, and I'm glad both sides participate.

00:34:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was totally fine with it. Peyton Peyton, Steve is a good dude.

00:34:55
Speaker 2: I like it, you know, I posted that video and but because I like it, that's what it's a I mean, there was no anger. It's just playfully going at each other Peyton. Peyton says he has a ring that I feel like they took that from him. But otherwise he was a really good player in his.

00:35:12
Speaker 1: Time in Louisville. Who's next, Danny, Danny? How are you Danny? Hey?

00:35:18
Speaker 6: How you guys doing doing good?

00:35:22
Speaker 20: Yeah?

00:35:23
Speaker 7: So I thought Butler was great, but Otaga's little.

00:35:27
Speaker 18: He missed a free throw, then he got a steal and a dank kid of three and a and one.

00:35:31
Speaker 20: I mean that was a difference in the game and the key moment.

00:35:35
Speaker 1: Now you gotta love that. I don't think he played well.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: I don't think he played well for thirty six minutes, but then he had a great five and he had a great final four minutes.

00:35:44
Speaker 1: And you gotta love that toughness.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: Game doesn't go well, he doesn't put his head down, he ends up making the big plays at the end.

00:35:52
Speaker 18: It was crucial. And also, do you think Lebront.

00:35:55
Speaker 19: Butler is better than Marcus Tue?

00:36:00
Speaker 18: Yeah?

00:36:01
Speaker 2: Probably, but I mean Marcus Tigue was a freshman when when when he played and Lamont Butler is a is a fifth year senior.

00:36:08
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I do think Lamark than Marcus t.

00:36:15
Speaker 6: All Right, that's all.

00:36:16
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Yeah, I mean that's no, that's no criticism of Tigue.

00:36:20
Speaker 2: But I mean if Marcus Tigue was a fifth year, was a fifth year senior, he might be he'd probably be that good too, you know. But I would say, if you're just talking about their time at Kentucky, yeah, I think Butler's probably a little bit better. Let's do one more and we'll take a break.

00:36:35
Speaker 1: Who's next? Ed?

00:36:37
Speaker 3: Is next?

00:36:38
Speaker 1: ED? Go ahead?

00:36:38
Speaker 5: ED?

00:36:40
Speaker 21: Hey, guys, how great is it when you beat your rival and you'd just say another one bites to us? And I'm looking forward for the next victim go catch.

00:36:52
Speaker 1: Totally agree.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to uh Saturday in New York. I'm not gonna I don't think I'm gonna go. Earlier this year was thinking about going, and I don't think I'm gonna go because of our trip to Seattle. But would be a lot of fun. And I'm looking forward to January fourth. That Florida team is gonna be top ten that comes in here. They're gonna play at eleven o'clock in the morning, Billy, which is gonna.

00:37:12
Speaker 1: Be so strong?

00:37:12
Speaker 3: What are we doing it eleven am for?

00:37:14
Speaker 2: I don't know that's when they're playing it. I think it's I think that's the day of the uh the kids.

00:37:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what it is. It's not because it's not the college football playoff. That'll be the couple of days before.

00:37:27
Speaker 2: So I don't know why they're playing at eleven am, but they are, and it'll be a big game. I mean it's a huge game to top ten teams at eleven am. So eight five, nine, two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break. We are here at KOs Bar and Grill Cats with a big win over Louisville. Final segment coming up, says the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show.

00:37:47
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

00:37:48
Speaker 2: It is the final segment of the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show. Remember tomorrow two to three point thirty. Jackson Robinson will be here to meet the fans. So on out and say hello to him, and he'll give a signature and a picture. And if you if we win enough games during the year throughout the season, if you come to all of these you could have a picture and a signature with all of the big players for Kentucky. Wouldn't that be nice, Billy to get them all over the course.

00:38:17
Speaker 1: Of the year.

00:38:17
Speaker 3: You can stray cats, Yeah, you can get them strength.

00:38:20
Speaker 2: Kind of like the straight cat. I don't think you do, but I kind of do. I'm not gonna lie to you. It feels like you need to maybe embrace it.

00:38:28
Speaker 3: Well, if Karen's on board, I've got to get on board.

00:38:30
Speaker 1: There you go.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: Gonzag and Yukon tied at fifty five. Gonzag has been down this entire game. They fell down ten nothing to start. I don't think they had ever tied it until the last play, and now it is fifty five fifty five in Madison Square Garden.

00:38:43
Speaker 1: As a Kentucky fan, I'm pulling for the Zags. Here. Who's next?

00:38:46
Speaker 3: Gary?

00:38:47
Speaker 1: Gary? Go ahead? Gary?

00:38:50
Speaker 18: Hey, Matt Uh, longtime listener, second time caller, all right, what's up? Called? I first called after the Pope press conference. It's just kind of been a resurgence. Man. After watching this team tonight, I ain't even gonna lie. The first couple of games due in Gonzaga, I felt myself. I was like I was in the mindset of the old Kentucky like the last couple of years. Once we when when we would get down a bunch, I wanted to turn it off, and I had friends going not keep watching it, keep watching it, keep watching it. So I kept watching it, and I said after after the game the other night, when we came back, I said, I was not going to have that mindset anymore. This game here was not like that. From the start. We were we we this is what we've been waiting for.

00:39:52
Speaker 1: Matt, this right here, Well, I agree. I mean, it's a fun team. I'm with you. I believe in him.

00:40:01
Speaker 2: You know, this was there have been years it's been hard for me to watch the Louisville, Kentucky game. I watched all this one. I felt good about it, and uh yeah, so I'm with you. It's a different it's a different culture now, and you're right. Last few years, if we fell down, I thought we're probably losing this game. Don't feel that way this year. Appreciate the call.

00:40:22
Speaker 1: What did you think of the uh billy? What'd you think of the way three?

00:40:25
Speaker 2: At the end, here's still twenty seconds left on the shot clock.

00:40:29
Speaker 1: I was definitely doing.

00:40:30
Speaker 2: A no, no, no, yes, not great shot because I I can't believe he took that shot, but he made it and it ended up kind of sealing the game.

00:40:39
Speaker 14: No, I was the same way, and uh that guy had some pretty good dunks tonight.

00:40:42
Speaker 3: A couple of times came to the lane.

00:40:44
Speaker 2: Could believe he took there was still twenty some seconds left on the shot clock, but you know what went in. I'd be interested to see if if if Pope had the same no, no, no, yes that I.

00:40:55
Speaker 1: Did during it, or if he was happy he took it. Who's up next, Lily, Lily? How are you little.

00:41:02
Speaker 9: Jod?

00:41:02
Speaker 1: How are you good? What's going on?

00:41:07
Speaker 6: I love that Lamont Butler was Dack, and I love that the rival ree was Dack.

00:41:15
Speaker 1: I do too.

00:41:16
Speaker 13: Yeah.

00:41:16
Speaker 1: Yeah. How old are you, Lily, I'm ten years old, ten years old?

00:41:22
Speaker 2: Okay, so you this, uh, you've barely even seen us lose to Louisville, so you've been very lucky.

00:41:30
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:41:32
Speaker 1: Well, glad you called it. Thanks. I hope you enjoyed the wind. Appreciate it, Lily.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, just had a couple walk out of this bar.

00:41:40
Speaker 1: Guy was has had a Louisville hat on, his wife.

00:41:43
Speaker 2: Had a Kentucky shirt. So there are still split marriages around the state. Let's do five more and we'll finish the night. Who's next, James, James, go ahead, James.

00:41:54
Speaker 6: Hey, first time, long time, El's down. Yeah. So it was great having you guys down in Seattle. It was great watching that win. It was great watching the win today. And did I see Vince Merrow in the in reperena?

00:42:12
Speaker 1: I did?

00:42:13
Speaker 2: I did not, but I was looking for him very well. Could have been he was there, Okay.

00:42:19
Speaker 6: Would would he actually go to the game if he was gonna leave for UNC?

00:42:24
Speaker 1: Probably not.

00:42:26
Speaker 2: I feel better about him staying than than I did on the pregame show, and I'll just kind of leave it at that. We'll talk more about it. I think we'll probably hear more about it maybe tomorrow and talk about.

00:42:37
Speaker 1: It on Monday.

00:42:38
Speaker 2: But I feel on the pregame show because I hadn't heard anything, I kind of wondered what that meant. But then I talked to some folks after the game, and I feel better about it now.

00:42:50
Speaker 16: Awesome.

00:42:50
Speaker 6: I appreciate it. You guys, have a great night.

00:42:52
Speaker 1: Thank you you two four more. Who's next, Terry's next, Terry, go ahead, Terry.

00:42:59
Speaker 10: Well.

00:43:00
Speaker 4: Tonight is going to be my first real criticism of Mark Pope.

00:43:07
Speaker 10: I thought his substitution.

00:43:08
Speaker 4: Pattern tonight was an A, but his defensive adjustments was about a D. He should have went zone. He should have went zone on Louisville. I mean, the only way they could hurt us in the way they did hurt us was the three pointer, and had he went zone, I think that would have that would have mixed them up a little bit and we would have been fined. But my hat's off to Louisville a little bit because in the first half I didn't think we could have played much better, and they didn't. They didn't fold. They stayed, they stayed with us, and but but Lamont Butler, I mean, for a guy who's coming off of a ankle in the game time decision to play that kind of game. I mean, you just got to take your head off to that dude. I mean, I mean, obviously without him we don't win, but he just I mean, what what a game.

00:44:19
Speaker 1: He played? GD I mean it.

00:44:22
Speaker 4: Was it was just there and I really liked Pope down the stretch. He stayed with Garrison instead of Williams, and I thought that was Keith.

00:44:30
Speaker 1: Thanks appreciate the call.

00:44:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I defensively, we did not play well and I didn't like the shots were we were kind of letting Louisville get. Some of it's because they could beat us off the dribble, but really not.

00:44:43
Speaker 1: A lot of it. That was really only Bray. A lot of it was we were just we were getting We weren't playing up on them.

00:44:50
Speaker 2: I mean, think about how Gonzaga played against us in the first half. I wish that we had played Louisville like that. I think they would really struggle to score. But with that said, we were able to answer, uh and it ended up being fine.

00:45:02
Speaker 1: UH as soon.

00:45:03
Speaker 2: As I said, gonzagataid at Connecticut goes on a ten oh run and now they lead by ten.

00:45:07
Speaker 1: Three more, who's next, Nathan, Nathan, go ahead.

00:45:09
Speaker 7: And Nathan, Hey, Mike, can you hear me?

00:45:13
Speaker 1: Yes?

00:45:16
Speaker 18: How's it going?

00:45:17
Speaker 1: First?

00:45:17
Speaker 19: First off, I just have a question about Amari's defense. I know he was all defense, you know against with Drexel, and you know, I'm not sure who he's playing against, but you know, especially to night, his defense didn't looks great at all.

00:45:31
Speaker 2: Well, his defense was bad tonight he's but there are times he plays really good defense. I mean there For for me, I think it's like an effort thing with him, because I feel like when his effort's good, he is really really solid on defense.

00:45:45
Speaker 1: But tonight he was not good.

00:45:46
Speaker 2: And as Billy said, there were a couple plays where he didn't even have his hands up, and you can't do that, especially as a big.

00:45:54
Speaker 12: Yeah, It's like it seemed like a guard would go to drive in and he would just back up and like leave him alone and not even try to jump and block it or contest it or anything. And also, are you like shock that Oway is doing as good as he is? I feel like he wasn't.

00:46:11
Speaker 2: Oh, he's definitely if you're looking at the overall year. Yeah, if you're looking at the overall year, he's been my biggest surprise, no doubt. Appreciate the Appreciate the car. I thought he'd be like the sixth man, and he is, you know, probably our fourth best player, and some nights he's our first best player, depending on how it goes.

00:46:29
Speaker 1: So you know, our our.

00:46:31
Speaker 2: Top four of Robinson, Butler, Carr and Oway is a really really good top four. And then when you throw in how good a shooter bray it can be, that's a really good five. And and like I said, I don't think any of them are pros, but I don't think that matters. I think they're just really really good college players that that they're fun to watch too.

00:46:54
Speaker 1: Who's up next, Keith? Keith? What's up? Keith?

00:47:00
Speaker 7: All right?

00:47:00
Speaker 5: Man, I'm I'm uh. I'm just watching the Redneck Brawl on the Louisville Media Box. So if yeah, after this last call, you don't need to switch over to that. It's it's classical.

00:47:10
Speaker 1: What is redneck brawl? I don't know what that is.

00:47:14
Speaker 5: Well just think, just think rednecks in a boxing ring with But what's it on with some Uh uh, it's on the Louisville media box.

00:47:23
Speaker 1: Oh all right, I probably don't have that Jadel, but go ahead.

00:47:28
Speaker 5: Anyway, Uh great, great?

00:47:30
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:47:31
Speaker 5: You know, back and forth about about each player, blah blah blah. But all I can talk about is the broadcast. I cannot stand every time that that UK would cheer, ESPN would mute the sounds.

00:47:45
Speaker 1: It's I don't like. I don't know why they do that. I don't understand why.

00:47:52
Speaker 2: You know, we now all of our games are on ESPN, and that's what it's going to be for the for the future.

00:47:57
Speaker 1: I mean, we're that's there are broadcast partner.

00:48:00
Speaker 2: But there's no doubt back when CBS used to do the games that the RUP sounded louder during those games. And I watch when like they get when they're at Kansas and Duke, you can hear the crowd. Now, I've grant you that Rupp isn't always like that, but tonight it was.

00:48:15
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. I the crowd does not come.

00:48:19
Speaker 2: Through on ESPN broadcasts of our games, and I don't know, I don't know why that is.

00:48:26
Speaker 5: Even even when we got loud and the broadcast even got a little louder.

00:48:31
Speaker 12: It turned it down.

00:48:33
Speaker 5: From eleven to five. Like instantly, it's like, oh, we're waking up the old people. We got to turn this doun. It's up here with my family, were like, what is going on? And we want to cheer, but it's like it's kind of like the guy who's getting the rest of the standing up.

00:48:48
Speaker 16: You're like, you can't stand up at home.

00:48:50
Speaker 5: You're like, they just mute us.

00:48:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:48:52
Speaker 2: I do think there's something about the way they do and I appreciate the call the way they do their crowd mics or something like it's it's the sound does not come through from Upperina on ESPN, and I don't I don't like that. Like I saw the cliff this morning of Tayshaun Prince hitting the five threes and that was a CBS game and if you listen, you feel like you're at the game, and it just does not feel like that when they're at Rapperina on the ESPN. And since all of our games in the foreseeable future are going to be there, I wish they would find a way to uh to do it.

00:49:26
Speaker 14: Who's next our last caller, Fuzzy uh Fuzzy go ahead.

00:49:33
Speaker 11: Hey man, It's been a while since, I'll call been several years since I've been to a game, and I'm so happy I got to go to this game tonight. The energy in that place was amazing. Everybody around me was loud, so many people standing up. Cameron Mills was actually right beside of me, and that dude is such a fan, Like he was jumping out of his seat. We were all jumping out of our seat. Absolutely loved it. Love what Mark Pope has done with this team. He has made Kentucky basketball fun again. And and I stayed and was actually the last person in line to get an autograph from him, and he every person he talked to he was so happy to see him. He traded stories with people, smiling ear to ear like this was such a fun night. Elve down, go Big Blue.

00:50:15
Speaker 2: Well, I love that, I mean it is. It's great to have a coach who he gets this place and that you know, it's not more important than winning to us, but it's right there with it, and he gets this place, and that's that's awesome to be a part of.

00:50:34
