00:00:35
Speaker 4: Now here's Matt Jones.

00:00:37
Speaker 2: We welcome everyone.

00:00:38
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Wednesday, March the eleventh, early. This is normally pre show time, but it's KSR today because the SEC Tournament begins with the Cats tipping off the first game, and you can give us a show on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. We're here and we're gonna talk to you eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. An auto glass text machine is seven seven to two four five two five four In this stsion sponsored by the TJ. Smith Law Office. If you call TJ, he'll make them pay. Normally you would be hearing Billy and Shannon, but we're starting a little early. Drew is on his way to the game. I've got Ryan here and Shannon and Billy as we incorporate the pre show crew and we're gonna go until eleven o'clock and then at eleven o'clock it will go to the official pregame show and then the game starts at twelve thirty. Weird day, but a big day for the Cats as five and five is what they're saying in the UK at the UK locker room five and five ready to go today.

00:01:44
Speaker 6: Everything could change starting today, you know, change the narrative of the season. You go out and start a little bit of a run. But you gotta win this one today, so you usually I'm naked in the shower right now, listening to Billy and Shannon getting your news.

00:01:56
Speaker 4: Yes, tell us that every time, too, Mad. I don't know why. I don't need to know that detail.

00:02:00
Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you. He doesn't know this. He was going he's getting a conversation today really at the minut No.

00:02:06
Speaker 2: He is he's getting a conversation.

00:02:08
Speaker 5: I'm being serious about there's just too much nudity and there's too much like there's just too much of all that. And he's getting a conversation today that he needs to and I can't believe I'm having to do this with a fifty nine year old that he needs to act his age explicit.

00:02:24
Speaker 2: So, I mean, he doesn't.

00:02:25
Speaker 5: Get the text machines and the messages are are it's it's creeping people out. And so there is a he was getting a conversation today and now he's getting it on the air because we couldn't even get two minutes into the show before that started.

00:02:41
Speaker 7: And moderation is the key.

00:02:43
Speaker 5: Moderations the key, and he doesn't understand that, and he puts it in every day and he doesn't understand.

00:02:48
Speaker 6: So I will work on this. You will work on it.

00:02:53
Speaker 5: Because we're going to start instituting fines once a month or something, or once even once a week.

00:03:00
Speaker 7: That's a slippery slope. Though we give Matt the power to give fines to everybody, we could be fine from.

00:03:04
Speaker 2: I'm giving myself the power.

00:03:08
Speaker 5: Because I'm speaking just like when we're talking about Mitch Barnhart I feel like to some extent, we're trying to echo the fans of the show in the UK fan base, I'm echoing the fans of the show, specifically of the female persuasion.

00:03:22
Speaker 3: Benny Hardaway, trying to find the players and il money. I mean, that's basically what you're doing with Ryan, and.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: It's working out for Penny.

00:03:29
Speaker 5: Look, he's been a huge success. Not really, Billy. It's nice to be on here with here, with you here today.

00:03:38
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for letting me join.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: For stressful day. You got a lot going on, I do.

00:03:43
Speaker 7: It's a big day for the UK sports world. I want to ask you how many days did you pack for for this tournament?

00:03:49
Speaker 5: Well, I mean my packing was very difficult here because we're going to the SEC tournament. I'm staying through Sunday regardless. Then I'm flying to ESPN, and then depending on where Kentucky gets sent, might be flying directly there. So I had to pack for like two weeks. Okay, even though there's a world where I guess, I mean, I still have to go to ESPN, so i'd be back Tuesday. But there's a world where they'll be like no, like I didn't pack. If you're asking me a question. I didn't pack a lot of UK shirts. I felt like two UK shirts. Yeah, it would be sufficient.

00:04:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, Ryan said he only packed to Friday. Is that what you said before the show started.

00:04:25
Speaker 6: I'm good through Friday. We get to Saturday, I might have to double up on some underwear and some soft.

00:04:29
Speaker 5: Okay again, right there, tournaments out right there, You didn't even you don't need to talk about any piece of you or clothing that is not double covered.

00:04:41
Speaker 2: That's your that's your standard.

00:04:42
Speaker 5: There needs no piece of you or clothing that is not needs to be brought up.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: That's that's the rule.

00:04:49
Speaker 4: Does that mean no pep talk in Nashville then, because.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: But if I ask for it, Oh.

00:04:54
Speaker 4: If you ask for newdity, it's okay, that's different. Okay, but I don't.

00:04:58
Speaker 5: It needs to no longer. It's his go to and it's become a crutch and I don't want you are better than that.

00:05:06
Speaker 6: I'll work on it.

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, well, you didn't get far. You got a minute, man, Let me just tell you.

00:05:16
Speaker 5: That's where we're gonna get if you don't, if you don't stop so so yeah, So I don't know because if they go to like Buffalo or Philly in the tournament, I'm gonna be in Connecticut, so I'm just gonna go straight there. I'm not gonna come home and then go back. They go to Saint Louis or Oklahoma City, then I'll come here and get in a car with them and go. But yeah, if they go to buffal because the choices include Buffalo, Philly, Tampa, I'll probably just fly to all those places and then Saint Louis and Oklahoma City and then there's somewhere at Portland.

00:05:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:05:50
Speaker 5: If it's Portland and in San Diego, I don't think we're gonna be able to go. Yeah, So it just depends. I mean, if you look, as long as we win today, I think the most likely scenario is Philly because we'll be a seven seed, and if you kind of look at it, Philly and Buffalo look like the most I think it's very unlikely unless we lose today, that we end up in San Diego or Portland.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: So but we'll just have to wait and see.

00:06:22
Speaker 6: Kind of crazy I for you guys, you were just in Buffalo a couple months ago. If we end up going back there for the NCAA tournament.

00:06:27
Speaker 2: I know but I liked it. We like the wings.

00:06:30
Speaker 7: We now know where to go love Buffalo blue cheese.

00:06:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know where to go.

00:06:34
Speaker 5: And it would be But for Kentucky, today is a big day on I just noticed today is is you kind of Today's a have to win? I would even argue tomorrow is close to I have to win, but today's I have to win. You lose today, you're gonna drop to the eight nine seed. Probably you're gonna get paired with the one seed. And I think the one seeds are unbeable, but for us, because we would end up with a duke Arizona Michigan second round.

00:07:05
Speaker 2: And listen, I know I'm saying second round.

00:07:08
Speaker 5: We could easily lose in the first round, but you're gonna end up with the duke Arizona Michigan second round matchup, and I don't think you can win those games.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: But if you can win today and.

00:07:17
Speaker 5: Win tomorrow and end up in that sixth seed where you could play in the second round, Nebraska.

00:07:27
Speaker 2: Or what do they have? Who they have is paired with right now?

00:07:30
Speaker 4: Miami, Ohio? Is what U saw on one.

00:07:31
Speaker 2: Well that's the first round.

00:07:32
Speaker 5: But in this but if you could get Miami of Ohio Nebraska.

00:07:37
Speaker 2: You'd take that.

00:07:38
Speaker 5: You couldn't ask for a better situation. But if you lose, you have a chance to get I mean, I'm gonna have to look and see who the who the eight nine s are. But you could lose in the first round or then play Duke or something and Ryan, you don't, you're not gonna win that.

00:07:52
Speaker 6: You know, the team's got nobody to play with themselves to you take care of business. You know, you win some these games at an m of the night Georgia Missouri at home, it's an entirely different conversation. They have nobody to blame with themselves with the situation they didn't put into day.

00:08:03
Speaker 5: So they are they it's it's it's completely their fault yep.

00:08:06
Speaker 3: So the latest update is Kentucky a seventh seed playing Saint Louis and Saint Louis with Illinois as the two seed.

00:08:13
Speaker 5: And that's not well, first, that's not ideal, but I'll take it. Yeah, that's not ideal. I mean playing Saint Louis and Saint Louis. Yeah, but we'll have a lot of people there too. Yeah, and we're playing Cream Abdul Jabbar, which means you get to meet him, which would be exciting. Read me who the two seeds are.

00:08:30
Speaker 4: Let's see you get Illinois, Yukon.

00:08:34
Speaker 3: You don't really want that, Houston don't really want that, Michigan State.

00:08:40
Speaker 2: Don't really want that. All three of those.

00:08:43
Speaker 5: You don't really want to play any of those teams, but you'd have a puncher chance.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: Now go read me the three seeds.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: Gonzaga, okay, Iowa State, I'm alright, Nebraska definitely all right, Alabama you won't play.

00:08:58
Speaker 2: They won't put us.

00:08:59
Speaker 5: So you're asking me, I think if you win two games in the SEC tournament, you're gonna get one of those. Gonzaga Ia State in Nebrasaw. Obviously Gonzaga pounded us, but that also makes it less likely they'd put us there. So you're looking at Iowa State in Nebraska, and I think if you're Kentucky billy, that's as good as you can ask for.

00:09:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, take that every day of the week.

00:09:19
Speaker 2: You're right.

00:09:19
Speaker 7: Those one seeds are just on a different level, a different tier this year, and you want to avoid them at all costs. But today, I mean, LSU was a team you were down eighteen too. At one point in that game. You had to have a malachai moreno shot at the buzzer. This is important.

00:09:31
Speaker 2: No, and they can beat us.

00:09:33
Speaker 7: You lose this one. It's you know, the fan base, all.

00:09:35
Speaker 5: Right, So read me. I don't mean to make you just read me the bracket, but read me the read me the eleven seeds. So this would be who we if we win the first two games, who would play in the first round?

00:09:44
Speaker 4: All right, the eleven seed SMU.

00:09:47
Speaker 2: VC Eatable, play it Beatable. Yeah, Missouri wouldn't play. They wouldn't put us there.

00:09:53
Speaker 3: Central Florida or Indiana playing game Beatable and I think I skipped over the other one.

00:09:59
Speaker 4: Say no Missouri?

00:10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, alright, so not give me the eight nines because all right, so let's say we're Nate. Read me the eight nines.

00:10:06
Speaker 4: Okay, So Utah State.

00:10:08
Speaker 6: Iowa, Okay. You don't want to play Iowa.

00:10:11
Speaker 4: Miami or TCU.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: Jay Lucas and TCU.

00:10:16
Speaker 3: Ohio, Ohio State, Clemson Okay, and UCLA, Texas, A and M.

00:10:21
Speaker 5: So you can see it's a lot harder if you're in an eight nine. Even in the first round. You're not getting VCU and you're not getting uc You're getting teams that have some So I just think this is huge. The other thing is our fan base will lose it if we're the first team out of the SEC tournament. Absolutely, the city of Nashville will lose it to the tourism board economy.

00:10:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, UK has not been kind to the tourism Board of Nashville in the last watch six or seven years. They need a big, big blue wave to go up and down the street.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: The it would be bad. It would also just be bad for morale.

00:10:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing. You read those names. It's a totally different game or a six seed or a seven seeded totally ships.

00:11:02
Speaker 5: And it's a it's a it's a huge difference between six and seven. It's a massive difference between that and eight nine.

00:11:09
Speaker 7: Yes it is.

00:11:10
Speaker 5: And you lose today, you're an eight and nine. If you lose tomorrow, you might be two, but you definitely are now. If you win them both, I think you can get to six because you got to remember, all these other teams are gonna lose two. Every team in a conference tournament, Billy is gonna lose to somebody except four teams in the major conference.

00:11:27
Speaker 7: I mean, we're negative thinking if they were to lose. It's also a huge opportunity for this team if they were to make the weekend. How did you make the weekends you beat Florida?

00:11:37
Speaker 2: Okay, you could go all the way up to like a five seat.

00:11:41
Speaker 5: Really change if you if you beat Florida. So this is I think this is completely wide open. You know, the standings in the SEC were bunched. Yeah, and the standings in that five, six, seven eight er bunts. Now let's talk about just the actual team. Cam Williams, it looks like, uh, he's gonna play. He's listed as probable on the injury sheet.

00:12:07
Speaker 2: That's good.

00:12:08
Speaker 6: It looks like he's definitely gonna try to give it a go. You know, I don't play, not a lot of minutes, but just to have him out there, it.

00:12:12
Speaker 2: Probably takes Trent no his minutes. I mean, isn't that essentially probably talking.

00:12:15
Speaker 7: About Yeah, yeah, helps with fatigue that this team just has so many issues with.

00:12:21
Speaker 2: I was thinking about fatigue.

00:12:22
Speaker 5: We'll talk about it in the next I was thinking about fatigue while I was watching BAM last night.

00:12:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, he won't get.

00:12:29
Speaker 2: How many points you think he would have had if he hadn't been fatigued.

00:12:33
Speaker 4: He got to the old fifty times last night.

00:12:36
Speaker 5: All right, I don't want to hear you complaining yet about this, because I want to talk about it during the next segment, because I think the complaints about Bam or horse bleep, it's.

00:12:49
Speaker 4: Not even a complaint. I'm just telling you the study.

00:12:51
Speaker 5: No, I mean, but he went for line forty one times because he got fouled forty one times.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: He should have gone more.

00:12:59
Speaker 4: You just let him go shoot free throws the entire game.

00:13:01
Speaker 6: Why not?

00:13:02
Speaker 2: First of all, he made thirty six of forty three.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: It was good.

00:13:06
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.

00:13:07
Speaker 6: It's really good.

00:13:07
Speaker 7: Miami was fouling though, it's like two minutes left in the game.

00:13:10
Speaker 5: I don't want to hear it because you need that. People need to have some sense of history. Go back and look what they did in the Kobe game. See, nobody has any sense of history. They just live in the moment and then they get outraged. Go h it's a disgrace. Go look what they did with Kobe in that eighty one point game. They checked him back in. Yeah, they had him shoot every time. In the last five minutes he was up twenty. It was the worst team in the league they were playing, so I don't want to hear it.

00:13:41
Speaker 7: Well, nobody remembers thirty years from now how many free throws he shot. It's just gonna be the number.

00:13:45
Speaker 2: The number is gonna say. Wilt Chamberlain won.

00:13:49
Speaker 5: BAIM out of BIO two. Kobe Bryant three. Come on, he had not scored more than forty points one time in.

00:13:58
Speaker 2: Two years, and he's eighty three.

00:14:02
Speaker 6: I could have guessed one hundred NBA.

00:14:06
Speaker 2: Eighty. Okay.

00:14:07
Speaker 6: I thought we were gonna wait till the next segment.

00:14:09
Speaker 5: So eight five, nine, twenty two eighty seven, we'll do more preview of this game. We'll talk about BAM some more. And then I made a huge mistake. I went into Costco and I that was.

00:14:21
Speaker 4: Oh wow, how did you get in there? Get a card?

00:14:24
Speaker 5: That's a whole nother thing. You think you were going into Augusta National.

00:14:29
Speaker 6: To try to get well?

00:14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so we'll talk about those are those the things I want to get to.

00:14:34
Speaker 5: We'll be right back. It's a great song. Yep, I get on it. I got on a rabbit hole. You know, TikTok is the worst for rabbit holes, because you watch any video more than twenty seconds and they're just gonna keep feeding it to you.

00:14:48
Speaker 4: Ye gets in your algorithm.

00:14:49
Speaker 5: And I had like a week of people just listening to Black Betty getting down. It's like, I've never heard this song, let's watch it and then they'll be like, oh, here we go, and then I enjoy it and then I watch another one. So yesterday I got in the uh Gorillas You remember Gorillas?

00:15:06
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they did Saturday Night Live Saturday.

00:15:09
Speaker 5: I don't know why because I feel like they haven't had a song in twenty years. But that led to that Clint Eastwood song and I ended up watching I don't know seventy five different versions of it yesterday and now it's completely in my head.

00:15:25
Speaker 7: Gorilla is a good throwback though feel good.

00:15:27
Speaker 5: It was good and I watched he would like play it places and then other people would come and rap on it, so like snoop, are.

00:15:37
Speaker 3: They one of those bands that didn't like you couldn't see them live because they never showed their face.

00:15:41
Speaker 5: Like, well they did sometimes. Here's what I didn't know. Maybe you knew this, Shannon. I didn't know that the Gorillas guy was the lead singer of Blur.

00:15:50
Speaker 4: I don't think I knew that either.

00:15:52
Speaker 5: No, I didn't know that. Did you know that was the same guy? What was Blur's song hey Man, nice shot?

00:15:58
Speaker 4: No, that's Filter? Well what's blow the one that just went wooo?

00:16:05
Speaker 2: Okay, Well that's the same guy. I had no idea neither. Cereo.

00:16:10
Speaker 5: There's a fun fact of the day. Who knew some people were taking up for Ryan? Sorry you're out voted. This is a Mitch Barnheart regime.

00:16:17
Speaker 7: Dictatorship rules, garbage about the nudity. They want more nudity.

00:16:21
Speaker 5: Well they're wrong. You get like I'm speaking for the silent majority.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: Here.

00:16:26
Speaker 7: Save it for the pool party at Matt's house.

00:16:27
Speaker 5: Eight twenty two eight. Let's talk about BAM here for a second. Eighty three points for Bam. Eighty three points? Are you kidding me?

00:16:38
Speaker 7: Sensational?

00:16:39
Speaker 2: It is unbelievable.

00:16:41
Speaker 5: He had forty three at halftime, and I thought, okay, maybe he gets to sixty. And he just kept scoring, and he kept scoring. I mean, this is a guy who had scored over thirty this year in only three games.

00:16:55
Speaker 2: Wow, and he scores eighty three.

00:16:59
Speaker 5: He must have heard our conversation yesterday where I said, how like isn't it surprising, Shay, he's the best player of all time at Kentucky and Bam goes, wait a minute, hello my beer.

00:17:10
Speaker 2: Eighty three. His career high was forty eight.

00:17:14
Speaker 5: He scored thirty five points more than his career high in one game. That's is That may be the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard in sports.

00:17:24
Speaker 6: People will bring up the Tony Delk fifty point game.

00:17:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, like NBA heads will bring it up and go that was one of the weirdest things that ever happened in the NBA.

00:17:32
Speaker 7: What about this, It's unbelievable eighty three, Ryan, all these great NBA players and the name between Kobe and Wilt Chamberlain is Bam out of Bayo.

00:17:42
Speaker 2: Now you don't like the forty three free throws.

00:17:44
Speaker 4: Shut out? I'm fine with it. I was just pointing out that he got to the line a lot.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, but for a guy who was like more of a defensive specialist, that's pretty amazing.

00:17:53
Speaker 2: He was able to just kept hitting threes.

00:17:56
Speaker 5: Right now, are you good with the fact that at the end they were kind of foul to getting the points They only offense, They only intentionally found one.

00:18:04
Speaker 6: Time the heat yeah, are you okay with it? Yeah?

00:18:07
Speaker 4: I mean yeah.

00:18:08
Speaker 3: I don't think they were doing it like the entire quarter intentionally.

00:18:12
Speaker 5: So I went back and looked at the game where Kobe had eighty one In the last five minutes the game, he.

00:18:18
Speaker 2: Took every shot to the lake.

00:18:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, every single shot, and he missed a bunch too. Took every single shot, including like he checked out up twenty seven with forty seconds.

00:18:29
Speaker 2: To go, so he was he was doing this too.

00:18:33
Speaker 6: Then then they put him back in.

00:18:35
Speaker 5: Well, he was out because they were up like thirty, and then with like four or five minutes to go, they put him back in, and he took every shot to him the game.

00:18:42
Speaker 7: Everybody knows what's going on at that time, right how many points he has the chase and trying to beat Kobe.

00:18:48
Speaker 2: It look like the.

00:18:48
Speaker 5: Wizards initially were fouling other people so he wouldn't get to go to the line, which I thought, Shannon, that would have been really great.

00:18:57
Speaker 2: I would have done that.

00:19:00
Speaker 7: You don't want to be the team that you don't want to be the team, that's true.

00:19:03
Speaker 4: Put anybody on the line at him.

00:19:05
Speaker 5: It's I think it is one of the most amazing random things in sports, Like, what else is up there for? Are you kidding me that guy? I mean, because BAM's really good, but not eighty three points good?

00:19:21
Speaker 7: The electrician in the world baseball class electricians up there?

00:19:25
Speaker 4: It is just a few years ago. Golkie, Are you kidding me? That guy?

00:19:28
Speaker 2: Goulky?

00:19:29
Speaker 4: That guy beat Kentucky.

00:19:31
Speaker 5: But in college basketball that'll happen sometimes. But Golky the thing people forget about. He wasn't even a starter for Oakland. He was a bench player, and he came in and did it. In baseball, sometimes you see it with like some random dude like Hits. Who was the guy for the Cardinals or the Reds that hit four home runs in a game?

00:19:50
Speaker 6: Mark Whitten hit four home runs.

00:19:51
Speaker 5: But there was somebody even more random than that. It was like Scooter McGee or something.

00:19:58
Speaker 7: I don't know that one.

00:20:00
Speaker 5: There was.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: There was somebody really random that did it.

00:20:03
Speaker 4: There was a Willie McGee.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, it was somebody even more random than him. It might have been for the Reds. Anyway, you might get it sometimes the perfect game. Yeah, you'll have some no name guy, no name guy that'll come out and the Braves.

00:20:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kent Murker threw a perfect game. I think, okay.

00:20:21
Speaker 5: Kim Murker is a perfect because there's only been what like thirty perfect games ever, and Kent Merker has one.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:20:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm the bigger guy for the Yankees, the pitcher what was his name.

00:20:30
Speaker 5: David Wells. But he was really really good. You talk about the big fact. Yeah, yeah, I mean BAM's good too. I'm not trying to act like Bam some. I mean BAM's great. He's he's he's an All Star and he's been an Olympian, so I mean he's great.

00:20:44
Speaker 6: But if we ask you before the game to pick a former Caliperi Uk, he'd be like the seventh or eighth good name.

00:20:50
Speaker 2: You have said.

00:20:51
Speaker 5: But if I were to have said yesterday, a Kentucky player is gonna score eighty three, give me who it'll be, you would probably have you certainly have said Shay first.

00:20:59
Speaker 2: Then you probably would have said Booker.

00:21:00
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:21:01
Speaker 2: Then you might have said Maxi or Murray.

00:21:03
Speaker 6: Yes, both those guys.

00:21:04
Speaker 5: You would have put both of those guys ahead of them, and maybe you go bad. I think you might have even said.

00:21:12
Speaker 7: Carl, Yeah, Carl more of a three point shooter. Dam was killing those three point shots there yesterday, he was checking in the first quarter.

00:21:21
Speaker 2: That was what it was.

00:21:23
Speaker 5: And now you go back and you think about that twenty seventeen team.

00:21:28
Speaker 2: And you think about who was on that team.

00:21:30
Speaker 6: That team was so much fun to watch. They got they got cheated, they got cheated out of a title. That team, it's we lost in the Elite eight. But they were the second best team in the country.

00:21:39
Speaker 5: Yes they were, and I do think North Carolina was better, but we were the second best team in the country and they.

00:21:46
Speaker 6: Were fun to watch.

00:21:47
Speaker 5: They were fun. That's the last year Kentucky was dominant. Yes, we have had, in my opinion, really four dominant teams the modern Air. Twenty ten was dominant, twenty twelve was dominant, twenty fifteen was dominant.

00:22:06
Speaker 2: In twenty seventeen.

00:22:08
Speaker 5: Huh, those are the four teams of the col Era that were like I'd like to see the four of them play against each other, right in a seven game series. Put all those teams together, I think could be fun to watch.

00:22:22
Speaker 6: And Fox, Monk and Bam they only just won. They would embarrass people, they would run people.

00:22:26
Speaker 5: In the game against UCLA where it was Lonzo Ball and dearon Fox just toys with it. Awesome game, and they still pick Lonzo ahead of it, which ended up being a mistake.

00:22:38
Speaker 7: It's that locker room scene from what I remember.

00:22:40
Speaker 5: And then the locker room scene where they crime. I mean, that's a great I thought it was awesome to see his mom was.

00:22:45
Speaker 6: There, issue was and he's a mama's boy.

00:22:48
Speaker 5: And eight five nine twenty two eighty seven. We will take your calls and do some other stuff when we returned. It's getting ready for Kentucky LSU's KSR.

00:22:59
Speaker 6: TJ Smith personal injury attorney call TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:03
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:06

00:23:19

Before we go to the phones, it was Scooter Genetic. Scooter Gannett was the guy that hit four home runs.

00:24:10
Speaker 6: I'd forgotten that, but I remember so as you said, They're like, oh my goodness, yeah guy, Though I don't remember anything else he did in his entire career, but that night.

00:24:15
Speaker 5: And a couple of people will say that about Isaiah Brisco having a triple double huh, because you'll have Chris Mills what is it Deer and Fox and Isaiah Brisco as the triple doubles.

00:24:28
Speaker 7: And Scooter not his legal name, his nickname Matt. In case you were wondering.

00:24:31
Speaker 6: I wasn't do you know a scooter? Yeah, I went, I do.

00:24:39
Speaker 4: I have a cousin named Scooter.

00:24:41
Speaker 5: Scooter Quillen live next to me, live next to my grandmother in Middlesbrough.

00:24:47
Speaker 7: Scooter braun a name, bro, Yeah, Scooter, that's Scooter McCrae.

00:24:51
Speaker 2: There are a lot of scooters, and I feel like there's not enough. Scooter. Scooter's good name for a kid right now. When you get older, it might be weird to be a scooter.

00:25:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're a kid, I think scooter sounds like a great name. Speaking speaking to real quick of baseball, the US baseball team lost to Italy.

00:25:08
Speaker 6: Saw that sold a.

00:25:10
Speaker 7: Meal got to be a pretty big upset.

00:25:14
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, hugely.

00:25:16
Speaker 5: They were down eight to nothing and they fought back caught it to eight to six.

00:25:20
Speaker 2: Now, if Mexico wins tonight, I think.

00:25:24
Speaker 5: The USA is out before they even get a chance to play the big game.

00:25:27
Speaker 7: Wow, that would be disappointing for USA.

00:25:31
Speaker 5: Made a big mistake though, did you see that? So they were down eight to nothing and everybody was like, well, they've got to score some runs here, because I guess tiebreaker is margin or something like that.

00:25:42
Speaker 2: And uh so the USA scored a.

00:25:45
Speaker 5: Bunch of runs, made eight to six, and when it was over, they interviewed the manager and he's like, yeah, I wish we'd won, but thank goodness, we scored those runs at the end. Now we're through and they're not through, and the announcer, Shannon didn't know to correct him. So the team was like, well, we're through. We're good. And then they got to the press conference and they were like, you're not through.

00:26:07
Speaker 7: That's awkward.

00:26:08
Speaker 5: So now be a huge shame, by the way, for the networks. Yes, US, this game is like Mexico VERSUS Korea. They're gonna be like, wait a minute, we put this on prime time. This was supposed to be USA Dominican Republic.

00:26:23
Speaker 7: And then that becomes a meme of the manager saying they're through and then they don't We're.

00:26:27
Speaker 5: Good, We're through, and no one corrected him, so later they were like, you're not through.

00:26:34
Speaker 2: Ye would be a pretty big error if the baseball team doesn't. I mean, we literally invented the sport.

00:26:43
Speaker 6: The huge upset that'll make it to the final round.

00:26:46
Speaker 7: Things like the other countries care more though.

00:26:49
Speaker 5: Well Italy though, I want to say Italy. It's a little like these people aren't in Italy. It's just people who are who have any Italian heritage get to play for them. I don't think anyone on the team is in Italy.

00:27:02
Speaker 7: Well I just see the Dominican Republic games. It looks like a party.

00:27:05
Speaker 5: Well, no, the Dominican Republic in Japan and America, now, those teams are really good.

00:27:10
Speaker 6: Venezuela I think is really good.

00:27:13
Speaker 5: But like the Italian team is just a bunch of people named Piazza. Shouldn't have lost they have no they don't live in Italy, most of them, maybe all of them.

00:27:22
Speaker 6: Maybe the United States were dealing with some fatigue and why they.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: Could be Isaac, go ahead, Isaac.

00:27:29
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, So I sent in this text you last time that I know if you saw it. But I think it's pretty fitting. The band scored eighty three because eight minus three is five. So I'm I'm feeling like the five and five is it's.

00:27:41
Speaker 5: A sign a bit of a little bit of a stretch. Eight minus three is five. But okay, all right, I'll take it.

00:27:50
Speaker 8: No, I just I feel I feel good, you know. I wish I could go down to the game tonight or today. But I think it'll be a good crowd. I think they'll have some energy and hopefully we can win at least two.

00:27:59
Speaker 9: But I you know, why not.

00:28:01
Speaker 2: What are the secondary prices now for the tickets?

00:28:05
Speaker 6: And JOA was.

00:28:08
Speaker 5: Yesterday it was fifty nine. I'm gonna get I'll be interesting because I'm fascinated about what the crowd is gonna be.

00:28:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ryan and I we're gonna need some tickets to get in because we can get credential.

00:28:17
Speaker 7: Oh dude, you got rejection and Ryan got credential.

00:28:22
Speaker 5: Mario almost got credential, got rejected. And I don't think Mario and I are allowed on the floor. Just back at CCS like me. Well, first of all, they they've taken a lot of the media seats and sold.

00:28:37
Speaker 6: Them really so so that's part of it.

00:28:41
Speaker 5: And then part of it is, you know last year I got mad at him and you know we'll just leave.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: I got mad, I'm frere he treated Mario and I think, yeah the sword.

00:28:52
Speaker 5: Well, by the way, the cheapest ticket right now and stuff up is eight dollars.

00:28:56
Speaker 6: Wow, there you go.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get it.

00:28:59
Speaker 5: Eight dollars for general admission fourteen dollars fifteen, so a lot of So, yeah, so seats can be had, we won't be able to get can get lower arena for thirty.

00:29:09
Speaker 10: Five dollars, which is great for Kentucky.

00:29:14
Speaker 5: Why aren't you just get in your car right now? You can sit lower arena for thirty five dollars.

00:29:18
Speaker 6: See an SEC tournament game in Kentucky's playing.

00:29:20
Speaker 5: You can sit court not courts. You can sit in row ten behind the LSU bench for one hundred and seventeen dollars that you could never know.

00:29:33
Speaker 7: How often can you get those prices?

00:29:35
Speaker 4: Never?

00:29:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean these are these are a lot of I mean, look that this is a suite. You can get in a suite for fifty two dollars.

00:29:43
Speaker 10: Well, we want to get our goald, so you got tickets are available. But yeah, so there there's gonna be a lot of empty seats.

00:29:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would assume though to the extent there is a crowd, it will all be Kentucky fans.

00:29:58
Speaker 2: There's no meaning L Issue fans there. Right.

00:30:01
Speaker 6: Well, I heard Maggie Davis on Leech Report this morning. She said last night they were there last night Tuesday night, walk around and they only saw like just a couple of Kentucky fans on Tuesday nights, so maybe they're all driving down this morning.

00:30:11
Speaker 5: The other game today is Auburn Mississippi State. That's a second game. Auburn might have some people because that's not very far right, Mississippi State will have no one.

00:30:20
Speaker 7: So well, let's hope Kentucky shows up and get some shots up before the game starts.

00:30:24
Speaker 5: You can buy an all session pass. How about this? So this is for every game.

00:30:31
Speaker 6: Let's guess what I think what it is on them on the morning.

00:30:33
Speaker 5: Do you think the cheapest ticket Shannon for every single game is right now?

00:30:39
Speaker 3: Oh god, every game all five days. I'm gonna say one hundred and fifty.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: Oh well, it's pretty cheap for every game.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're like the worst.

00:30:51
Speaker 5: Three hundred and forty eight dollars, but that's still insanely cheap.

00:30:54
Speaker 6: There's usually a thousand or something.

00:30:56
Speaker 5: If you if you tried to buy tickets to this all sessions and like twenty seventeen, it would have been twelve hundred.

00:31:04
Speaker 6: Yeah easy.

00:31:05
Speaker 7: And I mean if Kentucky makes a run, you could resell.

00:31:08
Speaker 2: Us three hundred forty eight dollars.

00:31:10
Speaker 3: Is you're telling me the get in praise with eight bucks, so I thought, you know.

00:31:14
Speaker 5: But that's just for today, three hundred and forty eight bucks. That's that's I will tell you that is the cheapest I've ever seen in a ball session past at the SEC tournament.

00:31:24
Speaker 6: And if you're just a basketball junkie, why wouldn't you do that?

00:31:27
Speaker 2: Yeah you're that's fifteen games.

00:31:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty cheap, that's basically what that's twenty five is that twenty five dollars a game.

00:31:36
Speaker 6: To watch SEC basketball tournament.

00:31:38
Speaker 2: That's kind of amazing.

00:31:39
Speaker 6: It is amazing, David, go ahead, David.

00:31:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're rolling in the nationale boys, all right.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: I like to hear.

00:31:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got hoping Poe. I think we got to give the man another year, give him a chance to get him a GM in there. Think it's a good idea. This is not nineteen eighty anymore. We can be running coaches off just because they don't have a twenty five wins season. You know what I'm saying. I mean, uh, we're better in South.

00:32:12
Speaker 3: Carolina, right, Yeah, got the standard though we're in South Carolina.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: We are better than South Carolina. That's true.

00:32:22
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, we don't want to put ourselves into UCLA. You know, we're all of agent enough to remember when UCLA was considered a dynasty. But you are eating the heck round of coaches around here, man, and it's a I think we need to rally behind all.

00:32:38
Speaker 5: We haven't beaten our heck out of coach. We've gotten rid of one coach and we haven't even gotten rid of he left. If he had wanted to come back, he would have come back. And I appreciate Caul, I do. I will say, yes, A lot of fans, myself included, thought a separation couch should happen.

00:32:55
Speaker 2: But somebody's gotten lost in history.

00:32:57
Speaker 6: He left, he did. He chose to leave.

00:33:00
Speaker 2: He left. He chose to leave.

00:33:03
Speaker 6: So you know, even Tubby chose to leave, that's true.

00:33:08
Speaker 5: The only person we've ever fired is we fired Eddie Sutton and we fired Billy Gilestwit's it.

00:33:13
Speaker 2: So we don't.

00:33:14
Speaker 6: I mean, you could say we run off coaches.

00:33:16
Speaker 5: I think my man chose voluntarily to go hang out with the chickens, and that's his call. Ye, And we'll see, we'll see, I mean, we'll see what happens with that. If I'm nine to eight oh twenty two eighty seven, I can't believe how cheap those tickets. I really can't for the SEC tournament in Nash three hundred and fifty dollars.

00:33:35
Speaker 7: Like I'm saying, like, go buy those tickets. Kentucky makes a run, you can resell that.

00:33:39
Speaker 5: Manny doesn't make a run. Vandy's good.

00:33:44
Speaker 6: Yeah you said, like you said, a lot of Arkansas fans.

00:33:46
Speaker 5: Akansaw fans will come Tennessee if they win a couple of games, you know, I mean, even Fandy Shannon, if they if they were to get to the semifinals, if you were to have a semi finals that included Vandy Tennessee in Arkansas, that'll be a massive ticket, whether we're there or not.

00:34:06
Speaker 6: Absolutely, you know.

00:34:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, Vandy would have to beat Tennessee to get to the They play Friday.

00:34:11
Speaker 2: Vandy Tennessee on Friday.

00:34:12
Speaker 5: That yeah, I mean, if you get Kentucky, Florida and Vandy Tennessee in the same session.

00:34:18
Speaker 6: Friday, that's big. That's going to be a massive ticket.

00:34:21
Speaker 7: Ye town needs.

00:34:22
Speaker 5: That'll be that Friday Day ticket'll be wild. If you get all those teams together. Eight five, nine, eight oh twenty two eighty seven, We'll take a break, be right back KSR Sunshine. So this what's been in my head all day?

00:34:47
Speaker 2: Podcast? Great on the podcast. Yeah, this guy from Blur shitt it.

00:34:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, you taught me something I didn't know. I knew I did either though.

00:34:56
Speaker 5: He was he was a dressed kind of cool on for an old man, like I was like, man, he can pull that off and it look like he's in fifties. I don't know why they had him on Saturday out Live like usually put anything out.

00:35:08
Speaker 2: Have they shanned in twenty years?

00:35:09
Speaker 3: Maybe it's like a twenty year anniversary reissue or something like that they're doing.

00:35:13
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I don't either, but I did.

00:35:16
Speaker 5: This song was and I thought these people were actually cartoons too. I didn't think they were really real people heard that video was just cartoons.

00:35:25
Speaker 4: Right, yep, all their videos are How were they live?

00:35:28
Speaker 7: Were they good?

00:35:29
Speaker 5: I mean they were good On Satday out Live sounded good. And so now I've been listening to this song for get Ready Mario. We're listening to it on the Drive twenty two eighty seven. We were just watching on here. They were showing highlights of the teams that made the tournament yesterday. I watched a lot of Hofstra Monmouth, and you know, I'm a human interest story guy. That's what's great about these tournaments. People complain, Oh, you're in a one bid league, the best team doesn't get to go. That's okay, because you still get cool stored. That's right, Hofstra. Think about this for a minute. Hofstra has won their league three times in thirty five years. Year one was two thousand. Jay Wright was the coach and the star player was a guy named Speedy Claxton. Twenty twenty, they win, but COVID hits an assistant coach on the.

00:36:22
Speaker 6: Team was Speedy Claxton. Really, but they don't get to go to the tournament.

00:36:26
Speaker 5: And then last night they win and the head coach is a guy named Speedy Claxton.

00:36:32
Speaker 6: And they get to go.

00:36:33
Speaker 5: So the last time they've played was when Speedy Claxton played. Huh, and now he got to take him as a coach. Very cool, very cool. His interview last night, he was crying. He was like, and he said something I thought it was kind of funny. He looks at his team and he goes, I won a championship in high school, college and the pros, And he goes, I don't talk to one person from my high school team or one person from my pro team.

00:37:02
Speaker 2: But I talked to almost everyone from my college team.

00:37:05
Speaker 5: Wow, which I thought was neat except wow, why didn't he talk to his people from his high school team?

00:37:13
Speaker 4: I don't know you talk to anybody from high school?

00:37:16
Speaker 7: Oh, Bob, DJ Trevor, OK, Yeah, I got like four or five guys I still talk to from high school.

00:37:22
Speaker 2: I feel like everybody talks to someone from high school, don't they.

00:37:24
Speaker 6: He's the guys that sit at your lunch table. Those the guys and then the pros.

00:37:27
Speaker 2: What professional team was he on that won the title?

00:37:30
Speaker 6: I don't know. I remember the name. I don't know what team he was on.

00:37:33
Speaker 5: Look that up, Mario and why not? Why aren't they all friends? They musty? Do you talk to people from high school? Shannon? Uh?

00:37:41
Speaker 4: Maybe like two or three?

00:37:43
Speaker 5: All right, so I talked to three. Do you talk to people from high school?

00:37:46
Speaker 7: Five or six? Yeah?

00:37:48
Speaker 6: But most people we talked to are from our college.

00:37:49
Speaker 2: What about you?

00:37:51
Speaker 6: Three or four?

00:37:52
Speaker 11: Well?

00:37:52
Speaker 5: Without question, the closest friends you make in life are in college, yes, because you go through this experience of being by or so.

00:38:00
Speaker 6: To get grow up going out.

00:38:02
Speaker 5: So I do think college is if you go to college when you make the closest friends.

00:38:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, spurs.

00:38:09
Speaker 5: So like Tim Duncan, he ain't talking to Tim Duncan. Dave Robson hangs up on it. Tony Parker's like shoe My pel Speedy, Mike, Mike, Mike.
