Speaker 2: Welcome. I remember two Tucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine is seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four of the Cats play at noon against Liberty in the women's game. A lot of folks listening are on their way to that game right now. They play at new seven o'clock in the men's game. We got all the tournament games at ks Bar. As a matter of fact, the door's just open, so come on in. They had a great crowd there yesterday, packed house, even Louisville fans who drove up for the game and then just watch the game at the bar. I consider going to the arena, but packed house, and I expect we'll have a lot of folks there today and then the watch party is tonight. People write me asking what time you should get there. I would say, uh, early, I would say, because I think it'll probably be a pretty big crowd there on a Friday night for the UK game run.

00:01:45
Speaker 1: I think you'd want to get there maybe about this time. Get there now.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: No, don't encourage people just to sit there all. I mean, they can, but like you know, they got to keep spending money. Officems. They want to make their money, and you always just encourage people to set up a camp out there, and that's not that doesn't always work.

00:02:02
Speaker 1: You could eat the whole time, order lunch, order you can.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: I don't know if a lot of people do that, or if you drink the whole time, We'll probably have to send you home like you did Mario after one point five margaritas.

00:02:12
Speaker 3: Yes, he was on one yesterday. When he came in, I go, man, he is.

00:02:15
Speaker 2: He tries to act like he's not he's He always acts like he's not that one. You could tell immediately.

00:02:20
Speaker 4: But it was a it was a happy Mario, just very chatty. Just he didn't take much of a breath, had lots to say, that's all right. He was excited.

00:02:27
Speaker 2: He's interesting, Like he's a relatively quiet guy when we travel, but then sometimes sometimes he turns life into his color commentary.

00:02:35
Speaker 3: In Seattle, Man, we got like the most Mario personality I've ever seen. Yeah, breaking down that everybody.

00:02:41
Speaker 2: I have a question for you, non basketball before we get back to basketball. Do you know who Jesse Waters is?

00:02:48
Speaker 3: Just feel like I've heard that name.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: But Jesse he's a political guy. So he's on Fox News and he's like the he replaced Tucker Carlson. He like talks politics. He's kind of like a smarmy, like sarcastic guy. But he said something I want to see if it applies to you. He was talking about men. He's very big on being manly, even though I think he uses a lot of product in his hair and doesn't strike me as the most man. He's very big on like, we need to be manly, you need to be men. Right. So he was talking about being a man, and he said, there are three things that if you do you're not a man. You do not do these three things in public if you're a man. Okay, okay, all right, And I want to see if you agree with him. He said, Number one, you never cross your legs as Shane and I are doing right now. You never cross your legs in public if you're a man. No, that's ridiculous.

00:03:40
Speaker 3: I think that's like a very gentlemanly way to sit with your legs crossed.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: Although that's a very it feels feminine the way you're doing it. Right, Well, I don't claim, but I don't claim to be manly. I claim so, so do you agree it is not manly to cross your legs in public?

00:03:58
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on the situation, but I think everybody probably crosses their legs at some point.

00:04:03
Speaker 2: I'll cross my legs in his face.

00:04:05
Speaker 3: Who says so like, man spread and just let it all.

00:04:09
Speaker 2: I think by the very definition of that word and man spread, I think he's basically cross Mario, cross your legs. All right, take a picture and there you le Shannon won't do it. I'm man spreading, Shannon Shannon. His second thing is he says a man never drinks with the straw in public.

00:04:35
Speaker 3: Well, there's Matt, He's gone.

00:04:37
Speaker 2: I drink with his straw on everything every day. Remember, the worst thing that ever happened to me was the rise of paper straw. Yeah, it was the only reason I contemplated voting for Trump was to get rid of the paper straw.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: I'm guilty of drinking with a straw. I like straws.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: I like straws too. It's better than drinking like this. Struck keeps your teeth, that's right. Yes, it's a good like a straw, that's.

00:04:59
Speaker 4: Right, Stupid, I like straws. I'll put a straw in my cocktail if I want to.

00:05:03
Speaker 1: Use a straw.

00:05:04
Speaker 2: And then third, and this one to me, was the most ridiculous. He said, you a man does not eat soup in public.

00:05:12
Speaker 3: Wow soup last week in public at a Chinese buffet.

00:05:18
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drink chuff.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: Yeah one time, the hot and hour, I had two bowls, and good for you.

00:05:27
Speaker 4: Before the game. Let's go somewhere. I'm gonna drink soup with a straw of my legs crossed.

00:05:32
Speaker 2: I'll do all those is not manly.

00:05:35
Speaker 4: Worrying about what I'm doing with my legs and my straw and my soup.

00:05:38
Speaker 2: I agree, And I.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: Don't need him to tell me if I'm a man or not.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: I do think your name's Jesse.

00:05:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesse, you probably spelled with an I E.

00:05:48
Speaker 2: I would like to see you send the picture. I will if you're drinking soup with a straw with your legs, I'm gonna lived my life. Whatever Jesse Waters thinks about it or not. Okay, Well there you go. So you all don't agree with his straw nose. The one I could give up the least is the is the straw. I mean, how am I going to drink this McDonald's diet coke every morning if I don't have the straw.

00:06:09
Speaker 3: I feel very comfortable right now. I don't care what I look like this is my comfort pose right here.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: I want a big bowl of soup that right now I feel very comfortable. Jesse.

00:06:19
Speaker 3: I don't care what you think, Jesse or.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: Matt anybody else. I'm agreed with you.

00:06:24
Speaker 4: I want to get Jessica on the phone right now. Somebody can get Jessica Waters from Fox News.

00:06:28
Speaker 2: I want to talk to her directly. Who's up next?

00:06:32
Speaker 1: Got Bob up?

00:06:33
Speaker 2: Bob Bob?

00:06:37
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, how are you doing doing good?

00:06:41
Speaker 2: Hey?

00:06:41
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make a quick comments. I drove up yesterday for the open practice from Chicago, and uh I brought my seven year old and my five year old boy, and uh, I just wanted to give props to like the BBM fans. I mean, I know how great they are, but uh, I mean we had people that gave up seats in the front row so my kids could sit there. The crowd was awesome, the team came over high five my boys at the end. UH just all around awesome experience. We even had a couple of fans that gave us like those I Heart UK posters so the kids could bring them home and hang them in their room.

00:07:17
Speaker 2: So I just want to make it come Yeah, I saw the players go over there. I wasn't standing there, but was that cool that the what the players came and like said hi to your kid?

00:07:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was cool.

00:07:30
Speaker 5: I mean hope. I mean you could tell he does like the head nod and just tells the players to go interact with the fans. And they came over and my boys to their hands out and everybody came over and we're like laughing them high fives and saying hi with smiles on their faces. And it's just like little things like that have such a huge impact. I'm little, you know, little kids are our our fan base is just it's awesome, and you know, pross to everybody listening and you guys for doing what you do, and it's just it's cool. I'm happy to be a Kentucky grad, happy to be a fan. Got my flag flying in front of our house today. I got the seven foot are you coming back up for the game?

00:08:09
Speaker 2: Are you when we went? Are you coming back up to the game today? Or just did the practice?

00:08:14
Speaker 5: We're we're not. We just did the practice. We've got a six am flight tomorrow for spring break, so I wanted to make sure that the kids could at least come up and see the team in person while they were close to us. But uh, but yeah, so let's uh, let's get a win. Hope you guys have a great time in Milwaukee. But I just want to give a shout out to the team and to the fans and.

00:08:33
Speaker 2: Okay, well, enjoy your spring break. I appreciate, appreciate the call, and I do think I agree, you know, I was. I talked to Tom Crean yesterday for a long time actually, and uh, I have to say I've grown to really like Tom Crean. I mean I do. I guess Billy may have been the person that made that happen by having him one. But we talked for a long time yesterday and one of the things Tom Crean said is he said, when I coached in Indiana, I learned something that is even probably more true at Kentucky. At a place like Kentucky, you can't just be the coach. You have to go touch the fans like you have to go be a part of the fans. They have to see you, they have to touch you, I mean metaphorically. I think he's right. And I don't think any coach crying has realized that more than both Cal did that to be fair, for a number of years. Patino did that Lass but a little bit Tuppy did that some. But I don't know that any coach has understood that what Tom Crean said, the ability of fans to reach out and be a part of you.

00:09:38
Speaker 1: Like Mark Popez, he started that tradition, like after the game, the guys make the little victory lap and get a meet, get high five to little kids. Man, that means a lot another reason, it just makes me being special. But you're right, I think Cal he understood that at the beginning.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: I really don't know he did. But the thing about Callen Rick, they were almost so larger than life, you know, Callen Rick, the suit, the hair, handsome, both of them kind of in their prime, like they were almost like bigger. Not I don't mean bigger is in bigger, like they were more important, but they were almost like a little bit more than everybody else. Mark Pope is like almost attainable, right, Like he's got a shaved head and he and he dresses kind of sloppy and like he I think that people appreciate that you he he is amongst them in a way that I don't even think Cal and.

00:10:32
Speaker 4: Rick were you know, Yeah, Cal was great at early I think part of his downfalls he kind of hit a little bit, wasn't doing it as much. But with Calen Rick, I mean, to get a hold of him, you got to call somebody, to call somebody, to call somebody. They usually have a bodyguard with him. It's almost like they're this a list celebrity instead of just a basketball coach that you know, as you said, they're just hard to get to, even though they're around and doing media appearances and talking to fans, it just felt like they were this another level of personality.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean like you would tell you could when Cal was here and I've heard this about Rick Tush and you could tell them, hey, this is happening, and they might send a card, like I think they. Cal is a very generous person and it's still a very generous personally, but really in his prime, very very generous. And but but Pope's the kind of guy who will show up at the event.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark Bolba is the most approachable coach that I can ever remember.

00:11:21
Speaker 2: I totally agree, and I think I think that really you feel that in days like yesterday where they don't just do the practice he's up in it, like he's up in the stand.

00:11:32
Speaker 3: Having like long conversations with fans after the game, letting their kids come out on the floor and shoot a ball, you know, things that I mean, No Devince to Caliperry, I don't think he would have ever done that.

00:11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's not necessarily a criticism of him. It's one of the things I envy about Ryan is like, I like, I like to meet people, but then like you know, I will like I want to go home, and Ryan will be amongst the right. Ryan, we'll, we'll, we'll do the thing. Somebody will go, hey, Ryan, will you get in the car and take me to Meyer And he just will. How many times he picked up Andy? Yeah, yeah, let me give you example with that. With with with Ryan, I'm gonna turn this into it from a pope compliment to a Ryan com but Andy, who calls the show for people who don't know Andy is is blind and he can't drive himself. We didn't know Drew. Multiple times Ryan has just driven Andy to and from the show to and from like he needed to go get something, and he like, who not many people in this world are gonna do that. I don't know if Mark Pope does that, but Mark Pope does a basketball coach equivalent of that, and I think that's a really cool thing.

00:12:47
Speaker 4: Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Andy were just in Pope's front seat one day doing that. But it's also very evident. I know everyone gets to see the pictures of Pope after games and reparena. That's not a quick photo op. He's literally one of the last people to leave the building, Like he'll stay until the very end and then the security guards want to say something to him. You know, we're up there working, We're always there late, and there's been times where we're like, is Mark Pope still here? The game's been over for two hours, and the cameras are off, and that's just Pope bum And it's a little thing.

00:13:14
Speaker 2: It's a very little thing. And we missed the picture because we didn't even see it. But Mark and the staff called out all the media who made the trip to come and take a picture at center court with the team and the staff. Now that's a little thing, but I can tell you it means a lot to those people here. Most of the media that come right now, they don't they're paying out of their own pocket. Not all of them, but most of them. And that's a really cool gesture. And it is the exact opposite of Cal who by the end hated the media. Maybe Mark Pope will hate it one day, I don't know, but he certainly doesn't now. And it also make it's we're human nature. When you do something like that, it once makes everybody want to be nicer to him, like it's it's human name, Gonna.

00:14:00
Speaker 3: Get a little leeway in one of these years when things.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: Go on, it's like, well he's a rough yeah, So I think it's a very nice I also think, honestly, Ryan, it's kind of.

00:14:09
Speaker 1: Smart if we needed that. You know, we, like I said, we were a fractured fan base and Pope got us all back together.

00:14:16
Speaker 2: Now, but we still got a win tonight.

00:14:19
Speaker 1: Tobby Smith was the best at it until Mark Pope. Paul, I think he's even better out of there. And thank you for what you said. That mean a lot to me. Appreciate it.

00:14:26
Speaker 2: Well, it's true. I mean I make fun of you a lot, like for instance, when we were in there watching and your belly was just hanging out of your T shirt and I was going to take a picture and I went, Okay, that's I just it wasn't intentional. He just had his belly stop overpaying for sunglasses and check out. Shady Rays, an independent American owned company started right here in Kentucky. Premium polarized shades for every activity.

It's KSR. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio AFIM nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We have some breaking news, Rick, go for it. Our pregame show today will be live and you can come to it at the Third Street Market at four thirty Eastern, which is three thirty Central. Got it, so, Third Street Market Hall in in Milwaukee. That will be there at four thirty eastern, that's three thirty Central here for our pregame show. I don't know what that is, but that is where we'll be. Their website says the best food in all Milwaukee, so that's pretty big deal. All congratulating. Get there. Yeah wow, I actually think I've been to this place. Looking at it, I remember, is it is it right across the street or like from the arena or so a few walks away, So it's not too bad. It's downtown, Okay, Third Street Market Hall. That will be where our pregame show is today, So if you're coming, make sure to do that. A couple of people are mad at me, uh Shannon, because they say that Mark Pope does not dress sloppy. I don't mean for the games. He dresses really well for the games. Maybe he just see him in life he's dressed like me. He wears like a hoodie and like track pants every single day. But for the games he's dressed very he dresses very, very well. But you know, if you see him out in life, he's he's like me. He's a hoodie and running.

00:16:41
Speaker 3: You know, if he's out shopping. I don't you know at Kroger. I don't think he has to have a suit on. Do you expect him to wear a suit?

00:16:47
Speaker 2: I mean Callen Rick dressed up everywhere. I mean Callen Rick until COVID. Yeah, now what after COVID, cal kind of he got pretty sloppy. But before that Cal, if you saw him out, he looked he was staring at even were like a UK polar or like a UK you know, quarter zip or whatever. But he was all his hair, slick hair and like like.

00:17:07
Speaker 3: The thing about Pope is he could have a whole head of hair if he wanted to, He could grow his hair out. You can see his hairline. He's got hair.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: He's got full head of hair. Yeah, it probably makes people like you man.

00:17:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: I think he said one time he doesn't want to have a full head of hair because you've got to do something with you got.

00:17:24
Speaker 2: I am v Yeah, he's got a great hairline and I ain't be it too. He needs to go it. Yeah, I don't know what you get. Who's up next? Todd? Is up that? Tod go ahead?

00:17:33
Speaker 6: Todd, Oh man, I think you forgot to mention Pope also all for to pay for people's gas to go up till I mean.

00:17:47
Speaker 2: We talked about it the first twenty minutes of the show.

00:17:49
Speaker 6: Todd, Well, I wouldn't listen.

00:17:55
Speaker 2: So we didn't forget you just didn't tune in.

00:17:57
Speaker 3: You forgot to listen.

00:17:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was wanting to ask off the wall question. Here, get your opinion, and then I'll hang up and listen. I saw an image of Dan Hurley the other day, and back before Pope became the coach, you know, it was we tried to get him in there the time. Do you think that if we ever had to hire another coach that we would avoid Dan Hurley?

00:18:28
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that was the one time it was perfect timing to go after him. I appreciate the call. He was coming off back to back titles. You know, the program was down. I think that we were kind of used to a certain way of doing things, and I think I think, you know, the timing was right for them to go for him. I think, if let's say Poper to retire or leave or it would not work out whatever, I don't think it would be the same. I don't you know. So, I I know, I think that was the moment didn't happen. I'd be very surprised that moment ever returned.

00:18:58
Speaker 4: He had just won two titles, titles we miss winning titles, so he was the hottest name. But you know, today's gonna lose Oklahoma in the first round and that Hurley brand is going to take a big dip.

00:19:07
Speaker 2: It's a big game for the SEC. By the way, we went four and three so far in the tournament. But our kind of teams we've used to say that were were powerful, have lost. Missouri lost to Drake, Georgia got destroyed by gonzag know what they were doing. Yeah, that was an absolute point. I think the big games for the SEC today, assuming nobody like us gets upset, is we need Vandy to beat Saint Mary's and we need Oklahoma and I have a good showing against Yukon. They're taking him down.

00:19:34
Speaker 1: We all said that Mitch Behart had to make the effort to try to go get Danny Hurley. He just had to for perception purposes of nothing else. It's probably a blessing in disguise that didn't.

00:19:44
Speaker 3: Work out, especially after this season, all the moments that he's had, you know, yelling at the revs, because he would.

00:19:49
Speaker 2: Have brought that ego here. But for our fan base, we'd be like, you haven't done anything here yet, you know, So I don't know that that would have worked out. I will say this, if Popekin win against Sweet sixteen, he would have had a better season than pretty much everybody else that we thought about getting. Right. Yeah, so, but got a win today, Today's a big one. Who's next?

00:20:12
Speaker 1: Little John?

00:20:13
Speaker 2: Is next? Little John?

00:20:14
Speaker 7: What? What?

00:20:17
Speaker 6: Hey?

00:20:17
Speaker 8: Hope you all have a great time, go CASF big win tonight.

00:20:21
Speaker 7: Hey.

00:20:21
Speaker 8: I got a suggestion, Hey, Matt, maybe you and Ryan should get a TikTok video of doing a little Lavernon Shirley skid there in Milwaukee while you're all there.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: I think the people that are on TikTok would have no idea. What is I mean? Since that's fifty years old at this point.

00:20:39
Speaker 8: Right, Can I say a real quick thing. Yeah, we took your advice, Me and my best me and my best friend Joshuan to the games last night since we found out we got tickets so cheap. Had a great time rooting against Tennessee and rooting against UCLA getting a fourth row seats under the baskets for a fraction of the cost of a UK game would call and we just we had a great time.

00:21:03
Speaker 2: Well good, you know, I said, I did see a lot of appreciate the call. They'd paying the Crown. A lot of blue in there. I think a lot of people decided to go do that game last night, just as a neutral. I think it'll be harder to get those tickets Saturday. I think Tennessee and Auburn people will will make the drive up for the game Saturday. But I think a lot of Kentucky fans Drew took advantage of going last night.

00:21:22
Speaker 4: Heck yeah, I mean, maybe it's not the greatest matchup in the field, but if you've got the tournament in your backyard, maybe you've never been before, and tickets are that cheap, why not go check it out.

00:21:30
Speaker 1: It looks like there's a lot of red there in the morning session, a lot of Louisville fans, a.

00:21:33
Speaker 2: Lot of Louisville fans in the morning. But but Tennessee didn't bring quite as many as I would have thought. I bet they'll be there Saturday, though. I mean, if you're getting Tennessee UCLA in Lexington, if you're a Tennessee fan shinting, you gotta go to that, of course you do.

00:21:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not that far away. I would think that you would go. If you're a Tennessee fan. On the TikTok thing. By the way, we still got to get Ryan to do the fresh prints TikTok.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think we I think it's already kind of is.

00:21:57
Speaker 3: It already the trends over now?

00:21:58
Speaker 2: I think it's gone. I bring it back. I don't bring it back, right, you can do it at the Third Street Music Hall today.

00:22:06
Speaker 1: I'll do it.

00:22:07
Speaker 2: Somebody stopped me? Is my anxiety?

00:22:10
Speaker 1: Is that the song?

00:22:11
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I just wanted to say that who's next? Gary? Gary? Go ahead? Gary just decided to.

00:22:21
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:22:22
Speaker 9: First of all, I don't know if you guys have mentioned it yet, but we have such a height advantage, the fact that Andrew Carr is plus two forty to score fifteen points and we're putting the mortgage on that.

Four just a little heads up for people who may be coming up here To milwaukee through the. Game so the afternoon, session which Is, Lipscomb Iowa state And Old Miss North, carolina that starts at twelve Thirty, central so one thirty. Eastern all, right so you think about the games if it starts at one. Thirty if it goes two, hours which probably goes. Over but let's just say it goes two, hours you're over at three, thirty which makes the next game start at four. Eastern, well we're supposed to start at seven. Eastern so if either of those games go even a little, long there's a chance That kentucky game could get a delayed. Start, yeah, right because, everything but you have to have forty minutes between, games thirty five or forty minutes just to do the warm. Ups forget about getting people in and. OUT i don't even think they care about. That they just try to get. Through so it may be the case, that like we're gonna have a swath of people waiting trying to get in because if either if you could See North carolina old minutes going long like that could be a close game and it could end up you, Know so just something to watch if you're coming.

00:24:48
Speaker 1: Here it does seem like it's a pretty tight turnaround.

00:24:50

Speaker 2: Everyone it's a very interesting, point like when you used to, pay now you don't get to. Pay you, know he's up three with the ball with like three and a half minutes to, go and Then Hunter dickinson makes a terrible. Turnover then they make another, turnover then they make another, turnover and they blow. It at the.

00:31:23
Speaker 1: End it looked they looked, awful and they had the superstars coming. Back that's why they were preseason number one and a lot of.
