Speaker 3 (00:33):
Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Welcome everyone.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Monday, February twenty sixth. I'm
Matt Jones here on a beautiful day, last day of
good weather before it gets rainy and cold, just in
time for Ryan to walk across Lexington. He gives a
shout on the Clark's Bubba Chop fall one eight five
to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Ad Shannon will open it in a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
People have to hold they vision Otto glass text machine
is seven seven two four five two five four In
this a disition sponsored by the t J Smith Lovus.
If you called TJL make them pay. We got a
full house. Drew's back, Ryan's here and his griffing Gate sweatshirt,
and uh we are at KOs Bar and Grill where
you can come have lunch. A good weekend for UK athletics,
(01:20):
baseball one game, softball one games.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
But most importantly, I think to most people, the.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Cats absolutely steamroll Alabama in a feel good game that
was kind of crazy to watch. Some amazing numbers, but
I think the most amazing to me is that Alabama
shot fifty six percent from the field and never had
a chance to win the game.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
That's true, it was it was their kind of game.
They shot the ball well, they sport points and still
got run off the floor. That is pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I mean, they were at one point shooting fifty four
percent down thirty five, which is one of the craziest
I don't know that you'll ever see that again in basketball.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I mean, if you told Nate Oates before he got
on his plane, they're gonna score ninety five, make their
free throws, shoot fifty seven percent from the field. I mean,
I don't think he thinks there's a scenario in mind
where they lose that game and then they lose by
twenty two points. That math just doesn't math. But that's
what happened to uh in Reperino. It's crazy, it was.
It was awesome to watch. I mean it was like
Kentucky kind of at their best.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I think it's very clear after that game, and after
the North Carolina game, you cannot play Kentucky like that.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, right, if if.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Kentucky's playing reasonably well, Kentucky's the best in the country
this year at that Ryan, Now, I don't think you're
gonna see another team try to do that to us.
Alabama may now have a choice because I don't know
if they really play another way. That may be the
last team that even tries that. But really, you can't
try that because we will do it better than you.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
There's no doubt about it. And that, like I said,
Alabama played the way they want to play and Kentucky
still ran them off the floor. You've seen Kentucky against that.
There are three best best wins North Carolina, Auburn, Alabama.
Just getting a situation where teams play the way we
want to play that way get Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And in the Auburn game, they tried to play like
they just couldn't getts and then we we actually didn't
hit a ton, but we did hit enough to win.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You know, the what was amazing about that game is
it felt like, with.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The exception of DJ Wagner, who just didn't have a
great game, but it felt like everyone else like they
were going to score no matter what, Like whoever got
the ball, like you're gonna score, well, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Yeah, and that team would have been anyone if you
have those The what I liked the three most dynamic
scoring guards at the moment, Reid, Reeves and Dillingham, who
were kind of played most of the minutes. If they're three,
four and five as the best players in the game,
then Kentucky's unstoppable when Big Z is just and well
(03:57):
that is just as Natos said after the game, there's
nothing you can do when all five guys on the
floor shooting like that.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Edwards, you know, it's the lineup a lot of people
have wanted to see all year with.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let's try Edwards at the four.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Now he's got to play well to do that, but
he certainly did play well.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Third most made baskets without a miss.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
In UK history, only Rodney Dent and Kidney Walker have
more ten of ten from the field.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
How happy is everybody for that kid? And you know
he's stuck with it. It breaks my heart to hear
him now talk about how he really was getting down.
I had to see a mental health coach and really
try to help himself get through this funk. The calch
credit kept saying he's gonna have a breakout game. He's
gonna have a breakout game. So happy for him that
that happened, especially on a big national stage like that.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I hope he keeps playing him at the four because
he gets better matchups for himself.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
There, Hey, let.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Me jump in out.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Gee reset that because we're having some issues with your connection.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
There we go, all right, how about okay? Now we're good?
I think, all right?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
If you gotta love the techno, when are they gonna
come and put this new line in? He said they
were gonna come and do that. When is that happening?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Are we gonna wait till April to make that happen?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You're asking me, yes, I don't ask you, but I
don't know. I don't know what I thought I thought
that was on your end. I didn't know I was
I didn't have any know.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
It's our hearts in well. I mean, like, what's crazy
about this is this is a.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Hard lined interest.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
That's what blows my mind.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And it doesn't work as well as that stupid The
best thing we've ever had work is that little piece
of equipment I had. You have that I have that
is held up by like, you know, construction duct tape.
Like that's the best thing we've ever had is that
little thing.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
The little cell cards about like a flash drive is
the best.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
The only thing that works pretty much everywhere is that thing.
But the problem is you only one person can talk
on that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Here it goes again.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's good?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Not all right?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean, you're fine out.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I'll tell you what. Let's do this.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Let's take a break. Will you add that car? Yeah,
and we'll take a break and be right back and
we'll try again. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back,
all right, Hopefully this works af I'm nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No radio show in the United States.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Especially the number one show of mid market.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Not even that to me, it's just basic, like can
we not get anything to work. It's it's unbelievable to me.
But hopefully this works. And if it doesn't, you know what,
we're going to take your call. So let's go ahead
and do this.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Eight.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. You
call in So that way, if we get disconnected while
we're trying to get to work, you can talk to Shannon,
who I heard Shannon needs to be more positive?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Like were you be negative on the pre show about
the game Saturday?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, no, no, I just just I said, I don't
know who this team is yet. This is a team
that could go to the final, but it doesn't matter.
You know, my time, I was happy about it.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
My view is that and this this is my takeaway
from the game Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I'm going to tell if we lose.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Good gosh to keep going.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Now, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I was in a great mood today. You were. I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
This is this is unacceptable by the iHeart folks, I
mean it, this is unacceptable. But anyway, my view about
the team is that ultimately we're now to a point
Drew where it doesn't matter what the next not even
I'm not gonna say It doesn't matter what happens Saturday,
because I enjoyed it and I want engine, But none
(07:32):
of this stuff at this point matters.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
This team kind of is what it is.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
An optimist will look at it, and we have a
lot of those in the Van base and say, you
know what, look how we played against Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We can win Saturday.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I saw somebody one of the optimist accounts at seven
of the eight quarters we've played as a championship level,
and that's certainly true. A pessimist would say we lost
on the road to LSU. We did this, you know,
we're not consistent. That's maybe more put Channon say he
doesn't know what the team. I don't at this point
really care which one people are people. If there's one
(08:07):
huge show, it's that they have confirmation bise, which is
whatever their opinion is, they will look for ways to
hold it until they cannot hold it anymore. At the
end of the day, this team, it's all gonna be
about March, and so we have two more weeks.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
We need to win them for seeding purposes and all that.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But the judgment on this team, and to some extent,
the judgment on cal is going to be marched.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
It will be things matter like confidence in certain players
like Edwards. And then I still am staying up at
night worried about having to play on Thursday of the SEC.
I know that doesn't matter to everyone, but I want
to win that damn tournament again, So it matters in
little storylines like that. But You're right about the narrative
of the Sea. Yeah, the narrative this team will be
written with how their last game.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I mean ultimately that seating and seating. At this point,
we can move up or down in the SEC tournament
one or two slots, maybe three. We could get to
a I think we could get to a three, we
could go down to a six. I think it's gonna
be very hard to get to a two, and I
don't think we can go to a seven unless we collapse.
(09:13):
Yeahs like that, But but what I'm saying is I
do think, however, that the sort of grand pronouncements RNE
of what this team is or isn't will be made
in March.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Right the way this season is gone, and I was
listening to you can describe, you know, the optimist guy
and the pessimist guy. These last two Saturdays have put
me more towards the optimist guy. Even though they lost
that lost that LSU game on the road, I'm still
the guy that is in the boat, that man, they
can get hot and play in March. This is you know,
I don't know if you know this, but cow says
they're a team built for March.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Well, I know he did, and I think that's what
he should say. But I guess as I was watching Saturday,
Saturday should have been a joyous day for pretty much everyone.
Oh yeah, Alabama's probably gonna win the SEC, right, I mean,
unless something crazy happens, they're probably gonna win the SEC.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And we ran them off the floor.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
And Nato it's a coach that a lot of people
at Kentucky have said, Man, I'd love that guy to
be here. Got absolutely destroyed and I hope we don't
get to a point and I don't think we're there,
but I think some people online are there that every
game in the next couple of weeks is a referendum
on whether their side about the season is correct.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Sports.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
One of the great things about sports is, unlike life,
like politics, I don't care what you believe, You're gonna
believe it no matter what happens anyway, right sports, there's
a result, there's a final result that will tell us,
and I don't think that result Drew will be until
the tournament.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Yeah, and that's why when people are you're flip flopping
on your opinion. No, I'm reacting to every single game.
I have no clue what they'll do tomorrow night. But
I bet you if they lose on Wednesday, I'll be upset,
and if they win on Wednesday, I'll be very happy.
And that's kind of how this season has gone up
and down to your point about not really mattering. We
won't write their story until this whole thing's completely over,
like you're saying the next four games two years from now,
(11:13):
we're not gonna remember what happened there. This team's how
will remember them will be where they were when they
played their last game in March, and a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Of it's just gonna be about which team they get draw. Yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I would rather be a five. Well, I don't want
to play.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
On Thursday in the SEC tart, but let's say we
did a five seed against South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
To me, I'd rather have happened than be.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
A four and Tennessee is the five, you know, because
I think it's I think the same is gonna be
true about the NCAA tournament. Ryan, It's all gonna be
about the matchups we get in those games less than
like anything else.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah, there's always that chance you're gonna get matched up
with the team that does the things that give us problems.
Bullyard guys around, forced the pression on defense, force them
out in the perimeter. You could easily run into a
team like that. It causes can problem.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Yeah, that's why I think a lot of people are
trying to make a five right now. Like some people
are ready to go all in on z and that
game was awesome, But tomorrow night they are big inside,
it might be a game where you don't see him.
I think with this team there's just so many pieces
and so versaly, you're just gonna have different nights. It's
gonna be different, different scenarios and situations.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I do think though, three of the four guards have
to be on the court. Yeah, I think you're a
lot better off with Edwards and Thiero at the four.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Now. I don't know what happens when Trey Mitchell comes
in though, because you're gonna want to play him. But
I do agree with you.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I want to see re I guess I want to
see Reeves on the court, no matter what I want
to say, see reed Shepherd on the court absence.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I do think they're going to be ryan a game
a game by game situation.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I don't know what to do, honestly. I mean, at
this point, what do we do? Shannon? What do you
want to do?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I mean, just keep going. It's just gonna have a
hiccup every couple of minutes. It's better what it was
in the beginning, though, I will say that, so whatever
you did.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Well, just telling me there's a hiccup? Does it really?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Why aren't you telling me so?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Then?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I do tell you?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
All right, So what should we do?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
It's hard to have a conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It is hard to have a conversation. What should we do?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
The only other off we've got is to try to
just sell card only take out the hardline and try
our last.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Do you want to what we're going outside? Do something?
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, all right, well, let's it is hard to have
a conversation if every couple of minutes it's going to
do that.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Let's take a call. Who's up next, Steve? Steve, go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Thanks guys taking my call. First of all, I'm old,
and I thought that was as good a Kentucky game
as I've seen in my life. It was so pleasant.
But I wanted to address this rushing the court issue
that's been talked about all morning and had had. I
was in for days, and there were all these radical
(13:56):
ideas this morning to me, And I wonder if you
all have noticed this. There have been a few games
already where the schools were prepared for that and there
are men on both sides or at one end, and
at the very end of the game they come and
run police tape all the way up and it seals
the team.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And well, but again, you're you're banning court storming. I mean,
and that's fine. I'm not saying that's wrong, But if
you're gonna have police like tape it off, then you're
basically saying no court storming.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, they go
with it. I don't even know if they're police, if
their uniform or not, some one or two want me,
But what they do is they come all the way
down the right before you step onto the floor the
plane area, and they come all the way down. Then
that seals them and people storm the court on all
the rest of it and leave them along. Has anybody
(14:50):
seen that besides me?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I have not.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
I mean that's the problem though, is again the Duke game,
and we haven't We hadn't started that yet, and I
appreciate the call the Duke game. The reason that was
weird is the players really didn't have a chance. I mean,
there was nobody who could have taped anybody off. The
game just ended and they were out on the court
before the game was even over, right, so like it
would have I don't think they could have done anything
(15:14):
for Philipowski unless they just blocked off and made it
to where no one could get on the court. But
let's let's hold off on that because I do want
to go Backay, Kentucky, were you I think cal gets
the most satisfaction from beating Natos.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Right, There's no doubt there's a little bit of uh
animosity there, I think between those two guys, and for
him to drill him the way he did, I mean,
did you know with like ten minutes left in the game,
Kentucky sitting on like ninety two points already, so you
know they had to give cattle. Look down the other
a bench and like, dude, you see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
If if if they had had to keep I mean
Reeves went out with eight minutes ago, right, Like, if
they had kept those guys in, they finished with probably
one hundred thirty.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
And that would have one hundred and thirty points against
a team that's gonna like win the SEC.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I tweeted a clip from Natotates press conference. I mean,
that's a guy he coaches the highest scoring offense, maybe
each and every year. He kind of I think it
was Kyle Tucker. He was like, did you say they
had twenty eight points in eight minutes? And then Kyle
says six. He goes twenty eight points in six minutes,
Like Natots couldn't even believe that stat. Stand it out loud.
And that's a guy who's seen a lot of offense.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
And we talked about defense, Okay, I mean they gave
up ninety five, so I'm not gonna act like it
was the best.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Defense in the world, but they had a stretch Ryan.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
The score was thirty one thirty I think, and they
had a stretch where they went on like an eighteen
to two or twenty to two run. They got like
seven or eight defensive stops in a row, and that
was the difference in the game.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And that was one of those we've talked about.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Man, if they could just get ten percent better in defense,
you could win.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
I'm kind of pointing to games like that. Right.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
They didn't play great defense the whole game, but they
had a stretch where they locked him down and got
a cushion that then they didn't give up the rest
of the time.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I think rafter he said that he goes to Alabama
has to score on this possession, and then they did.
Next time. Alabama absolutely needs to get his bucket on
this possession. Nothing because Kentucky was getting the job.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He kind of reminded me of the Tennessee game in reverse.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We had a little stretch at the beginning where we
got down ten and then we just could not get back.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
We just could not.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
We could get it to six, but then they'd get
it back to twelve or four till we just could
not get those ten points back because we were asleep
for four or five minutes. I think That's what happened
to them. Alabama just had a stretch and it got
away from them, and then you got to like twenty
in it would make flip for a little bit and
then we were.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Able to just put them away.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
And the defense was more active than I think they've
been all season. They were getting in passing lane. You know,
we talked a lot about they sit around and is
watching the ball? All five guys nearly every possession, we're
doing something and that's why it led to a lot
of breakaways. It got to Alabama was just jumping in
the air and kind of throwing it back to the
top of the key, and it led to some some
transition transition points, but that's because the defense was doing
so good at locking them down.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Isn't it fun just to watch them like that?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Dude, It's incredible.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Where where I mean when Justin Edwards would hit his
threes re I mean, it's funny when reeveshoots, I just
always assumed sien when it doesn't go in, I'm like,
has someone checked the rim to make sure it's okay?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
I have that level?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And then Justin Edwards ten for ten, Like remember Laterner
went ten for ten and get in that game in
ninety two, like that's an historic game.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
And uh, you mentioned Rodney, didn't Kenny Walker had a
couple more, But none of those guys took a three pointer.
Justin Edwards did it shooting four or three points, So
that makes it even more impressive.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I think somebody, I think it was Corey Price said
since two thousand maybe or two thousand and five, only
three players in all of the NCAA have made ten
shots ten of ten or more while shooting four threes,
and one of them was Buddy Healed at Oklahoma And
then I didn't know the other guy.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
But what Justin Edwards did in mind the LSU game?
Remember he had three three pointers in the LSU game.
You know, is it finally we're getting to see the
guy we've been waiting.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
For all clearly? Yeah, clearly. And he's playing good defense
now he is, he's playing really.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So happy for him, man, he was so good to
see him smile and Kenny Walker.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
UK released a video yesterday with Kenny Walker as the narrator.
He said that he thinks Antonio. At the end of
the video he's talking about Antonio or reeves that he
thinks he's the most underrated player in UK history.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Wow, it's very fair because he may graduate as the
most efficient offensive player Kentucky has ever had first threes,
field goal percentage and guy.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
With the numbers.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Antonio Reaves is a Kentucky should be an All American
And he said, I think he's the most under because
there's so many other guys on the team that he's
the most I mean, Kenny Walker knows something about you.
I mean, he's he's seen it since the eighties, all
of it.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What do you think of that? I actually was like, wow,
that's a strong statement.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But when you think about the numbers of what Reeves does,
it's it's an automatic twenty. I mean we're talking about Edwards.
Reeves went seven of ten. He didn't miss much, but
it's just it's like it's a given at this point.
He's we talked about after the game he's close to
doing the you know, the fifty percent Phil goal for
free throw. I think he's gonna miss it on free
throw by like a eighty eight right now. But that
(20:21):
is just insanity for a guy that takes as many
shots as he does.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That's what I said.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
He maybe the player ever those three in those three categories. Yeah,
he he any other team, you're right. If you're the
best player, leading scorer on UK, you're an All American
candidate if you're doing what he's doing. So he needs
to be in that conversation.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Who's up next? Shit, Paul, Paul, go ahead. Paul A.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Natt As was just calling to say that I broke
my really bad streak of live games. Took my son
to his first game, took my dad for his seventieth,
and I don't think I could have picked a better one.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Oh that's a great one. What a fun game. I
wasn't in attendance, but being there in person had to
be awesome.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
It was awesome. I mean, the crowd was hyped, and
then it was weird because at some point you're just
like looking at the scoreboard, going, there's like fifteen minutes
left and we've got ninety something.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Baged to even comprehend, but uh yeah, I was on
a I was on a really bad live game streak.
I went to Indy for the Champions Classic, Washington losing
overtime in Michigan State before that blown out.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
But I don't need to hear all the games you've cursed,
but this one was This one was much better.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
Oh, it just made up for all those those bad ones.
But uh, it was a great experience being there with
my son for his first game, and then my dad
probably got the best seventieth birthday ever.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Now that sounds awesome. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
But where do you rank it? Some of these great
beatdowns Kentucky's had over the years, where do you rank
that one? Like a Florida game and O three the
first half against UC I love that.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, those two to me are better, just because I
don't think this Alabama team is all that good. I mean,
just to be honest with you, I think they're they're
gonna win the SEC again, and you gotta give Nato.
That's gonna be three straight SEC regular season titles. So
that's or three or four maybe, but that's awesome. I
don't think like I thought. I mean that O three
Florida team was great. Yeah, one that UCLA team went
(22:26):
to the what Elite eight or something like that, and
and so those. But in terms of an offensive performance, Drew,
I don't know how many you're gonna see better than that.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Just recently when they destroyed Tennessee tit I had, yeah,
almost thirty amazing, but.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
That was one half. If we did this the whole.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
Game, Yeah, that game comes to mind, but that still
wasn't anything like Saturday.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I think the win we got at Kansas when they
then went and won the title is also up there
a couple of years ago. But I don't know that
I've seen a better Just like they're not ever gonna
stop us performance. We'll take a break, very bags, kiss.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
TJ and with personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
He'll make them pay now.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio here at KS Bar and Grill.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Thanks to all the technicians riding us in on the
text machine saying hey, things don't sound great.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We're working on it.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Hopefully it'll hopefully it'll be be better coming forward. What
person rites, Matt? What do you think are the great
beat downs in UK history? Somebody wrote one? I think
this is good. Ninety three tournament Ryan against Wake Forest
and Florida State when we just absolutely demolished them.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah ninety three was that the same year they had
eighty one in the half against LSU, I mean they.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Were I just think that might have been the next year.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Oh that was the next year.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I think so ninety three though, we beat Florida State
and Wake Forest by like thirty in the tournament.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, you're you're up thirty, like by halftime almost, it
seems like in those two.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Games also, I like the Florida one. Yeah, what was
the one?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I just had one on my mind a second ago
when they destroyed Kansas and U c.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
L A both early in the thirty one team. That
was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The thirty eight one, yes, No, that was defense. We
mentioned that in the other segment the I got one
for you, Okay, what is it?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Was it the ninety three SEC tournament when Kentucky did
College Tennessee with Alan Houston.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Forty Yeah, Todds s Aboda had four points, Alan Houston
had three points.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Try the day Todds Swibota outscored Alan Houston.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
That was that was a great beat Vandy by sixty
one year I think.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
That was ninety that was six. That was ninety, No,
it was that was about and they killed him in
senior senior day. They bring it brought in Azabuki who
people didn't really know even got like a dunk, one.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Of the best dunks I've ever seen at Rupperina.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, Drew's right, that was O three. That was a
great one. Yeah, there was one in recent years though
that I'm trying well beat down, didn't we We took
Vandy on the road not that long ago and absolutely
destroyed them.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Well, I can't remember the year. I just remember them
being up by so much.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
They were about like a thousand in that gym at Vandy.
What year was that? Well, we're now becoming old man,
what year with that? But but you do.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Remember those incredible beatdowns. And now this one's gonna be
in that conversation.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I think it is.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Yeah, I think I think this one is is right
there with it. Let's talk because there is now on
first take. Let's talk about the court storming thing. It
looks like Philipowski's probably gonna be okay.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Yeah, So that's good, very good.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Because if he had gotten hurt, then I think it's open. Yeah,
and then I think court storming is done. You know,
now that he's not hurt, we'll see. What do you think.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Let's start with this.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Do you think court storming as a practice is something
that should be preserved or not before you do how
you do it, do you think gets something that should
be preserved.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I'm in the boat that it's such a special part
of what makes college basketball and college football great. When
your team pulls off a big upset or maybe a
last second shot or last second field goal, and the
fans get to celebrate with the team. I would hate
to see that be taken away.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
So you'd like to keep it, yes, Okay, I'm also
for keeping it. I do think we need to it
needs to get back to where it's a truly special moment.
It's getting a little too frequent, Like wouldn't Wake Forest
favored in that game. I don't know how you do that,
I know, but I'm saying it is too big of
a game to completely take away.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah yeah, I mean you're not being able to say
you all could do it today. You can't do it today.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I just wish it was a little more sacred than
it's gotten. But I don't think you.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Took But I mean I think I do think to
Shannon's point about sort of like predicting it, there's only
a handful.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Of times that's gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas. So my view is
one of those teams comes to your town, you gotta
be ready, Okay. And then if it's like Purdue when
they're ranked high, Houston when they're ranked high, you know
what I mean, Like Kentucky they storm the court against LSU.
Duke's not great, they storm the when Kentucky and Duke
(27:16):
come to town. You gotta know as a as a
as an institution, this could happen. Uh huh, So I
gotta be ready. I'm with you, though, I do think
you can. I don't want to see it go away
because it's such a unique part of college basketball.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
But what makes it a little harder.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
In college basketball than even football is the students can
get there so quick, you know what I mean. Like
like in football, they got to climb down from things
and it takes them in it. In basketball, they can
just be there. Yeah, And so I do think that
makes it harder. Shannon, do you want to see it preserved?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, I think we're all on the same page. I
like it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I don't know how you prevent it. Do you put
a cage around the court like what you like? How
do you stop it though, is the question right?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Well, first of all, you've got the literally physical how
do you keep that many people back?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Can't?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I mean you can't just say fines because we have
fines in the SEC and they did it Tuesday night.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I mean, the kids don't care about they're paying those fines.
They're not paying. It's not their money. I think you
have what I liked, the idea of when the game's over,
you find a way to give the other team fifteen
seconds to get off the court.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
They're not gonna do that. It's a moment of excitement.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, the LSU game is the perfect example.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Okay, the Wake Forest game, they could have slowed that
group down. The LSU game, it's a shot at the buzzer.
It's spontaneous. I bet those kids didn't even plan on
do yeah, you know what I mean, and it just happens.
And I agree with Shannon, I don't know how you
stop that.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
There needs to be weighed. It might just be the
students have to police themselves and you warn them ahead
of time. I will make an example of you if
you're out there early. But there has to be a
delay where everyone involved knows that the team needs to
get off the court, and I know that's almost impossible
when it's excitement like that, but I think it's fine
as long as there's just a small window where the
(29:10):
Philipowski's are off the four completely. And it might just
be students have to know better. And it looks like
they bump knees. Yeah, it does, so it does.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It does not look like the kid or him was
trying to hit the other one. It looks I mean,
he reached, he extends his arms after they bump knees,
but it looks like the initial contact was they bump knees. So,
but that's an example of that's inadvertent. Like I don't
think that kid was trying to hurt him. I don't
think Philipowski was trying.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
To hit the kid. But like it's just like it's
just gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Right, Can the schools say ahead of time, like you're saying,
you know, Duke's in town. If I'm the athletic director,
I'm saying, if any of your all on that court
before Duke's off the court, whatever penalty expel him. Like
if we have any incident where we're a national story
you're out of school. But at that point the students know, Okay,
we're allowed to do it, but we're gonna be careful
about it, and maybe take a couple of seconds to
(30:02):
know we're not gonna be the news for forty in
So it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
None of the four of us take the position that
seems to be the position the media is taking, which
is we got a ban.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, we're all on board, and we all agree. We
hate that Philipowski got hurt. We hate it that Kaitlyn
Clark maybe when she got bumped, could have been hurt.
We don't that, we don't we hate that.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
It's only a handful of teams that I mean it literally,
it's only I mean, I wonder how many court storms
have happened in a women's game ever, Like Caitlin Clark's
a unique phenomena.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yes, right it It is.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Only Kentucky, Duke, Carolina, Kansas and then a couple of teams.
So like Shannon, you know when it's coming, you know
what I mean, It's not it's not that you have
to worry about it every game. It's just a handful
of times where it could happen.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right, and you're not gonna stop it. You could slow
it down. I mean, if you surrounded the entire court
with an extra amount of people, you know, police officers,
maybe you can slow it down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
But you're not gonna stop it.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You gotta be prepared for those teams come to your town.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
And that's why I think it was on the postgame
show after the LSU game, the guy was like, we're
not a blue buddy anymore. Kentucky and Duke. This is
why Kentucky and Duke are different than every other school.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
They'll do that against us even if we're not that good.
That's right, you know what I mean. That's not true
about everybody else.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I don't think that even happens with North Carolina and Kansas.
Kentucky and Duke will have the court stormed. Whether they're
good or not. Duke's on the bubble right now, Duke.
Whether or not, they're like a four seed, but I
think they weren't underdog in there. They were an underdog
in that game, but they're I think they're ahead of
us in the in the bracketology.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
That's your point.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
They're Duke there, but they're Duke and Duke in Kentucky
will we'll see that happen to them. And so you
just know those teams are coming to town, so make
it to where you're ready for it.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
I kind of laugh when and you know they there,
and you mentioned that the counting down, so they're gonna
have the PA guy when the buzzer sounds, he's gonna
have to count ten na.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I don't know that.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Well, maybe you put up a graphic in the stadium
that says, if you're a student and you're on this
floor x minutes after the game, see it from school.
I know that seems ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
You can't kick a kid out of school.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Well something some kind of punishments so they know I'm
allowed to do this. I'm just not gonna go storm
it and trample somebody and end up being a story.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I guess I'm with you a little bit, Shannon, Like
you're not gonna be able to talk. I mean, there
are rules now, and kids break them all the time
about everything, Like, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
You know, when you're dealing with that many people, they're
going to do what they want. They got the numbers
on their side.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
You see. That's another thing.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
You have the numbers on your side and like you can't.
You know, think about the Indiana game when you and
I were there, there were people trying to stop them.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
You can can't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
You can't catch them.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
So, you know, producer Matt during the studio told Shannon
this morning, let the players fight back, Let the players
lay a haymack ear once in a while on the fans.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Well, de Marcus did that, he did you remember DeMarcus
punched the dude at South Carrol.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I not even did have a shoulder and he touched.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
I saw a video last night on Twitter and it
was old, but it was the Pirates, Pittsburgh Pirates and
fans are on the field and the catcher is beating
the ever loving crap out of a fan with his
helmet like it's criminal and no one's doing anything.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It is interesting though, then in pro sports you go
to jail, and in college sports.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
It's nothing. I mean, that is strange, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
I don't know. Maybe they can arrest people, but man,
when you've got five hundred people on your court after
the game, that's gonna be tough to get everybody.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It is. You know, I wouldn't be one of.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
The footbet arrested first and then go down Star. You know,
like they've already get their hands full with these other guys.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
I have the solution down dish soap all around the
court as the game.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
And they.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
The guy I was doing the show with on ESPN
Sunday's name is Jake Asmond. He suggested that you make
an announcement right before and say wait fifteen seconds. And
I was like, but think about how that would be practically.
Let's think about the Kentucky LSU game.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
We're up one.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
If they announce, hey, if we win, don't run on
the court.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
You know, cow's gonna go. Look, they already think they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Win, and they're suggesting you should do it.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
That in the event of an upset, take your time
getting to the court.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Hey, if you're always on the go, running, hitting the gym,
playing sports, court physical therapy will help make sure pain

Kosbargrill seem to have stabilized our situation a little bit
and we will take can break it be right back
is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tukey Sports Radio. He
fen on uh two twenty two eighty seven. People are
giving me great uh great beatdowns in UK history. Here's
two good ones, but a lot in the tournament. So
(35:17):
uh West Virginia or see mean yeah, West Virginia in
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
Yeah, after they talked about it, if they talked.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
All that trash just Paisley, No, not him, he didn't
talk trash, but some guy guaranteed to win.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He talked trash to Peyton Manning on that.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah, I think you've been I think you've been one
of the player.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
He said something about all the independent streak ends and
Willie got got the Kentucky locker right.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Well, No, I was one. I was actually the person
that went back and forth on that. I was at
the press conference with West Virginia, and then it might
have been Kyle as well. We went and immediately did
the Kentucky one and we read the quote to.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
The Darius Miles Junior Dexter Miles June scored zero points
that guarantee you.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
He said the streak ends tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
And I think I was standing there and I think
I said to him, or if it wasn't me, it
was Kyle. One of them said to them, they said
the streak ends tomorrow. And I think Willie looks at
me and goes.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Did he really say that? And I was like, I
promise you he did. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Dexter miles over from the field with zero assists, zero stills.
I mean he he almost did the whole thing all
zeros Wake.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Forest, and we seem like we beat wake Forest pretty good.
Wake Forest.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
In the twenty ten tournament with bles Aaron Bledsoe hit
all those threes. Remember that was a That was a
big beat down too.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
That was the answer to the trivia question tonight. That's
a game he had over twenty eight points in a
tournament game.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yes, so uh, those are all ones that that stick
out af I'm nine twenty two eighty seven. By the way,
before we go to the phones, you are walking tomorrow
to Clark's Pumping Shop. So you're gonna be here to
start the show, yes, and then you're gonna walk out
and you are gonna walk to Clark's pumping shops on
Lucille since you didn't know where it was.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And according to my GPS, it's exactly a two hour
walk from here to there, so I've got to have
to hoof it to get there by the end of
the show.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
You can't stop. No, I can't, now do you what
if it's raining? There's some reports that may rain tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Well, you know Shannon wossed out when he when it started.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
The options and not one I gave him.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
It was gonna rain for twenty straight hours. So it's
a little different than your two hour walk.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
But you know, they've got a big event playing when
I get there, like free drinks and goodies and some
UK players are gonna be there signing autograph and it
turned into it turned into a big deal.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Yeah, yes, so you but you need to uh, you
need to be ready. So we're gonna come in here.
Well have you on at the very beginning? Then you're
taking off. I got to take off.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Do you know your route? Yes?
Speaker 5 (37:46):
What is it down here? Then Oliver Lewis then to
Lee's Town Road.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Yeah, that's the quickest way. When I hear to Old
Frankfurt Pike, cut over.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
To uh Oliver Lewis.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
Alexandria, and then Alexander comes out there on lee'stown right,
Oh not Oliver. That's the quickest way. According to the GPS.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Alexandria comes out where.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
It goes to the Secretariat roundabout. I want to take
old Frankfort Pike to that roundabout and then go up
Alexandria to That's what it says, the quick is the
quickest way.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Well, I mean you go, you take the map. I mean,
I'm Shannon. No, I'm not gonna say I know more
than the Internet, so I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Never said that before.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I've never said that before, so I'm not gonna do that. Well,
it's uh so tomorrow, if you are driving around, uh,
you should look for Ryan.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Say hi to him, give him a honk. I mean,
I guess you're gonna be by yourself. Is anyone walking
with you?
Speaker 6 (38:39):
Nobody's walking with me. I'm doing it by myself.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Okay, some show up, give you a little company if anybody, Yeah,
if anybody wants to give him company. But you gotta
be like fast, right, because you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
Have to have to hoof it. First fifty people who
show up, we'll get a free fountain drink or a
free coffee. UK volleyball softball players are gonna be there
that you can win one hundred dollars gas card. I mean,
I got a lot of things going on.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Okay, but that's after you get there.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
After assuming you cross the finish that they pay for
their coffee or you don't show.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
It in there by the time the show is over.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Well, better work on it. You could also run, get
those arms swinging power walk.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Yeah, I don't know if that's so.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
If you if you're someone out there who can walk
at a brisk pace, maybe they could pay you like
a horse.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
I guess we need someone keep eyeballs on him. Maybe
we don't want you catching the little ruds. Get him
a few blocks, but.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
I mean, no one's you can't get in a car.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Yeah, Rachel's fight toork count said, I'll make sure you
get down time.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
No, we're not doing that.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
You have to walk any I will say this, if
anyone catches Ryan cheating, I will give a reward for
you catching Ryan cheating. This is like, this is like
a crime thing. If you catch Ryan cheating and take
a picture of a video of him cheating, I will
give you a reward, and Ryan will have to do
(39:59):
a public punishment as part of it. So I do
want the war. It's kind of like people don't know
I have spies during my trivia here, and if someone catches.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Them, I pay them.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Oh see, people don't know that we haven't caught anybody
yet because people are following the rules.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
But Ryan, you don't know I do this to you
in life. I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
Watching you all across the city in case you're doing
something you shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Well.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
I checked out my route last week and it's I
don't know where to go, but there's some parts that
they don't have a sidewalk. I have to walk in
the side of the road or in the grass I
want to be.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
But you know on the thing you can put make
me go on the side where there are sidewalks.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
It'll take me longer to get there. It's like two
hours fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
They get you.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
It's a big one. All I know is I mean
there are probably long distance runners who can get there
in time. If they can get there, you can.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
You're supposed to walk against the traffic, right, and so
if the place the areas they don't have a sidewalk,
walk against the traffic.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
And I'm not advocating you to walk where there's not
a sidewalk. So like I think you should be planning
your trip to go where there are sidewalks. I'm not
asking you to like walk on train tracks and stuff.
I want you to Plus, these are major roads. What
road are you talking about with no sidewalk? Why don't
you drive it on the way home so you know
(41:20):
your paths there?
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I did Alexandria from the roundabout to a man of War.
There's a long stretcher. It doesn't have a sidewalk. You're
walking down Man of War, not Man of War least
town road.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Don't know?
Speaker 6 (41:33):
I said no war, I said secretariat went to man
of War.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Okay, don't walk where there's not a sidewalk. I don't
want you to get hurt. Well, I'll have to leave
from here. Then earlier than ten. You leave at ten o'clock,
you're going back. Listen, you've had a long time to
get this walk fast.
Speaker 7 (41:50):
Also, that's just the suggested Google pace. You set your
own paces. The average American you need to be going.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
I feel like you would get there before.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
The show was over there by the first down.
Speaker 7 (42:00):
Just just like when Google tells me it's out there.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
When you see those people on TV and their hips
do like this when they walk. Yeah, do that with
your little hips going in and now you'll make.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
Up Tom in the air. You'll be there in no time.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
That's right. They do that with planes. You can do it.
Speaker 5 (42:17):

If you called TJL make them pay. We got a
full house. Drew's back, Ryan's here and his griffing Gate sweatshirt,
and uh we are at KOs Bar and Grill where
you can come have lunch. A good weekend for UK athletics,
(01:20):
baseball one game, softball one games.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
But most importantly, I think to most people, the.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Cats absolutely steamroll Alabama in a feel good game that
was kind of crazy to watch. Some amazing numbers, but
I think the most amazing to me is that Alabama
shot fifty six percent from the field and never had
a chance to win the game.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
That's true, it was it was their kind of game.
They shot the ball well, they sport points and still
got run off the floor. That is pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I mean, they were at one point shooting fifty four
percent down thirty five, which is one of the craziest
I don't know that you'll ever see that again in basketball.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I mean, if you told Nate Oates before he got
on his plane, they're gonna score ninety five, make their
free throws, shoot fifty seven percent from the field. I mean,
I don't think he thinks there's a scenario in mind
where they lose that game and then they lose by
twenty two points. That math just doesn't math. But that's
what happened to uh in Reperino. It's crazy, it was.
It was awesome to watch. I mean it was like
Kentucky kind of at their best.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I think it's very clear after that game, and after
the North Carolina game, you cannot play Kentucky like that.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yeah, right, if if.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Kentucky's playing reasonably well, Kentucky's the best in the country
this year at that Ryan, Now, I don't think you're
gonna see another team try to do that to us.
Alabama may now have a choice because I don't know
if they really play another way. That may be the
last team that even tries that. But really, you can't
try that because we will do it better than you.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
There's no doubt about it. And that, like I said,
Alabama played the way they want to play and Kentucky
still ran them off the floor. You've seen Kentucky against that.
There are three best best wins North Carolina, Auburn, Alabama.
Just getting a situation where teams play the way we
want to play that way get Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And in the Auburn game, they tried to play like
they just couldn't getts and then we we actually didn't
hit a ton, but we did hit enough to win.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You know, the what was amazing about that game is
it felt like, with.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The exception of DJ Wagner, who just didn't have a
great game, but it felt like everyone else like they
were going to score no matter what, Like whoever got
the ball, like you're gonna score, well, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Yeah, and that team would have been anyone if you
have those The what I liked the three most dynamic
scoring guards at the moment, Reid, Reeves and Dillingham, who
were kind of played most of the minutes. If they're three,
four and five as the best players in the game,
then Kentucky's unstoppable when Big Z is just and well
(03:57):
that is just as Natos said after the game, there's
nothing you can do when all five guys on the
floor shooting like that.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Edwards, you know, it's the lineup a lot of people
have wanted to see all year with.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let's try Edwards at the four.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Now he's got to play well to do that, but
he certainly did play well.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Third most made baskets without a miss.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
In UK history, only Rodney Dent and Kidney Walker have
more ten of ten from the field.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
How happy is everybody for that kid? And you know
he's stuck with it. It breaks my heart to hear
him now talk about how he really was getting down.
I had to see a mental health coach and really
try to help himself get through this funk. The calch
credit kept saying he's gonna have a breakout game. He's
gonna have a breakout game. So happy for him that
that happened, especially on a big national stage like that.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I hope he keeps playing him at the four because
he gets better matchups for himself.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
There, Hey, let.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Me jump in out.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Gee reset that because we're having some issues with your connection.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
There we go, all right, how about okay? Now we're good?
I think, all right?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
If you gotta love the techno, when are they gonna
come and put this new line in? He said they
were gonna come and do that. When is that happening?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Are we gonna wait till April to make that happen?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You're asking me, yes, I don't ask you, but I
don't know. I don't know what I thought I thought
that was on your end. I didn't know I was
I didn't have any know.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
It's our hearts in well. I mean, like, what's crazy
about this is this is a.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Hard lined interest.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
That's what blows my mind.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And it doesn't work as well as that stupid The
best thing we've ever had work is that little piece
of equipment I had. You have that I have that
is held up by like, you know, construction duct tape.
Like that's the best thing we've ever had is that
little thing.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
The little cell cards about like a flash drive is
the best.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
The only thing that works pretty much everywhere is that thing.
But the problem is you only one person can talk
on that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Here it goes again.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's good?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Not all right?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean, you're fine out.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I'll tell you what. Let's do this.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Let's take a break. Will you add that car? Yeah,
and we'll take a break and be right back and
we'll try again. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back,
all right, Hopefully this works af I'm nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No radio show in the United States.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Especially the number one show of mid market.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Not even that to me, it's just basic, like can
we not get anything to work. It's it's unbelievable to me.
But hopefully this works. And if it doesn't, you know what,
we're going to take your call. So let's go ahead
and do this.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Eight.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. You
call in So that way, if we get disconnected while
we're trying to get to work, you can talk to Shannon,
who I heard Shannon needs to be more positive?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Like were you be negative on the pre show about
the game Saturday?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, no, no, I just just I said, I don't
know who this team is yet. This is a team
that could go to the final, but it doesn't matter.
You know, my time, I was happy about it.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
My view is that and this this is my takeaway
from the game Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I'm going to tell if we lose.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Good gosh to keep going.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Now, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I was in a great mood today. You were. I'm serious.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
This is this is unacceptable by the iHeart folks, I
mean it, this is unacceptable. But anyway, my view about
the team is that ultimately we're now to a point
Drew where it doesn't matter what the next not even
I'm not gonna say It doesn't matter what happens Saturday,
because I enjoyed it and I want engine, But none
(07:32):
of this stuff at this point matters.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
This team kind of is what it is.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
An optimist will look at it, and we have a
lot of those in the Van base and say, you
know what, look how we played against Alabama.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We can win Saturday.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I saw somebody one of the optimist accounts at seven
of the eight quarters we've played as a championship level,
and that's certainly true. A pessimist would say we lost
on the road to LSU. We did this, you know,
we're not consistent. That's maybe more put Channon say he
doesn't know what the team. I don't at this point
really care which one people are people. If there's one
(08:07):
huge show, it's that they have confirmation bise, which is
whatever their opinion is, they will look for ways to
hold it until they cannot hold it anymore. At the
end of the day, this team, it's all gonna be
about March, and so we have two more weeks.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
We need to win them for seeding purposes and all that.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But the judgment on this team, and to some extent,
the judgment on cal is going to be marched.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
It will be things matter like confidence in certain players
like Edwards. And then I still am staying up at
night worried about having to play on Thursday of the SEC.
I know that doesn't matter to everyone, but I want
to win that damn tournament again, So it matters in
little storylines like that. But You're right about the narrative
of the Sea. Yeah, the narrative this team will be
written with how their last game.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
I mean ultimately that seating and seating. At this point,
we can move up or down in the SEC tournament
one or two slots, maybe three. We could get to
a I think we could get to a three, we
could go down to a six. I think it's gonna
be very hard to get to a two, and I
don't think we can go to a seven unless we collapse.
(09:13):
Yeahs like that, But but what I'm saying is I
do think, however, that the sort of grand pronouncements RNE
of what this team is or isn't will be made
in March.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Right the way this season is gone, and I was
listening to you can describe, you know, the optimist guy
and the pessimist guy. These last two Saturdays have put
me more towards the optimist guy. Even though they lost
that lost that LSU game on the road, I'm still
the guy that is in the boat, that man, they
can get hot and play in March. This is you know,
I don't know if you know this, but cow says
they're a team built for March.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Well, I know he did, and I think that's what
he should say. But I guess as I was watching Saturday,
Saturday should have been a joyous day for pretty much everyone.
Oh yeah, Alabama's probably gonna win the SEC, right, I mean,
unless something crazy happens, they're probably gonna win the SEC.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
And we ran them off the floor.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
And Nato it's a coach that a lot of people
at Kentucky have said, Man, I'd love that guy to
be here. Got absolutely destroyed and I hope we don't
get to a point and I don't think we're there,
but I think some people online are there that every
game in the next couple of weeks is a referendum
on whether their side about the season is correct.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Sports.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
One of the great things about sports is, unlike life,
like politics, I don't care what you believe, You're gonna
believe it no matter what happens anyway, right sports, there's
a result, there's a final result that will tell us,
and I don't think that result Drew will be until
the tournament.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Yeah, and that's why when people are you're flip flopping
on your opinion. No, I'm reacting to every single game.
I have no clue what they'll do tomorrow night. But
I bet you if they lose on Wednesday, I'll be upset,
and if they win on Wednesday, I'll be very happy.
And that's kind of how this season has gone up
and down to your point about not really mattering. We
won't write their story until this whole thing's completely over,
like you're saying the next four games two years from now,
(11:13):
we're not gonna remember what happened there. This team's how
will remember them will be where they were when they
played their last game in March, and a lot.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Of it's just gonna be about which team they get draw. Yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I would rather be a five. Well, I don't want
to play.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
On Thursday in the SEC tart, but let's say we
did a five seed against South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
To me, I'd rather have happened than be.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
A four and Tennessee is the five, you know, because
I think it's I think the same is gonna be
true about the NCAA tournament. Ryan, It's all gonna be
about the matchups we get in those games less than
like anything else.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Yeah, there's always that chance you're gonna get matched up
with the team that does the things that give us problems.
Bullyard guys around, forced the pression on defense, force them
out in the perimeter. You could easily run into a
team like that. It causes can problem.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Yeah, that's why I think a lot of people are
trying to make a five right now. Like some people
are ready to go all in on z and that
game was awesome, But tomorrow night they are big inside,
it might be a game where you don't see him.
I think with this team there's just so many pieces
and so versaly, you're just gonna have different nights. It's
gonna be different, different scenarios and situations.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
I do think though, three of the four guards have
to be on the court. Yeah, I think you're a
lot better off with Edwards and Thiero at the four.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Now. I don't know what happens when Trey Mitchell comes
in though, because you're gonna want to play him. But
I do agree with you.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I want to see re I guess I want to
see Reeves on the court, no matter what I want
to say, see reed Shepherd on the court absence.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I do think they're going to be ryan a game
a game by game situation.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I don't know what to do, honestly. I mean, at
this point, what do we do? Shannon? What do you
want to do?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I mean, just keep going. It's just gonna have a
hiccup every couple of minutes. It's better what it was
in the beginning, though, I will say that, so whatever
you did.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Well, just telling me there's a hiccup? Does it really?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Why aren't you telling me so?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Then?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I do tell you?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
All right, So what should we do?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
It's hard to have a conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It is hard to have a conversation. What should we do?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
The only other off we've got is to try to
just sell card only take out the hardline and try
our last.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Do you want to what we're going outside? Do something?
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, all right, well, let's it is hard to have
a conversation if every couple of minutes it's going to
do that.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Let's take a call. Who's up next, Steve? Steve, go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Thanks guys taking my call. First of all, I'm old,
and I thought that was as good a Kentucky game
as I've seen in my life. It was so pleasant.
But I wanted to address this rushing the court issue
that's been talked about all morning and had had. I
was in for days, and there were all these radical
(13:56):
ideas this morning to me, And I wonder if you
all have noticed this. There have been a few games
already where the schools were prepared for that and there
are men on both sides or at one end, and
at the very end of the game they come and
run police tape all the way up and it seals
the team.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And well, but again, you're you're banning court storming. I mean,
and that's fine. I'm not saying that's wrong, But if
you're gonna have police like tape it off, then you're
basically saying no court storming.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, they go
with it. I don't even know if they're police, if
their uniform or not, some one or two want me,
But what they do is they come all the way
down the right before you step onto the floor the
plane area, and they come all the way down. Then
that seals them and people storm the court on all
the rest of it and leave them along. Has anybody
(14:50):
seen that besides me?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
I have not.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
I mean that's the problem though, is again the Duke game,
and we haven't We hadn't started that yet, and I
appreciate the call the Duke game. The reason that was
weird is the players really didn't have a chance. I mean,
there was nobody who could have taped anybody off. The
game just ended and they were out on the court
before the game was even over, right, so like it
would have I don't think they could have done anything
(15:14):
for Philipowski unless they just blocked off and made it
to where no one could get on the court. But
let's let's hold off on that because I do want
to go Backay, Kentucky, were you I think cal gets
the most satisfaction from beating Natos.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
Right, There's no doubt there's a little bit of uh
animosity there, I think between those two guys, and for
him to drill him the way he did, I mean,
did you know with like ten minutes left in the game,
Kentucky sitting on like ninety two points already, so you
know they had to give cattle. Look down the other
a bench and like, dude, you see what's going on.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
If if if they had had to keep I mean
Reeves went out with eight minutes ago, right, Like, if
they had kept those guys in, they finished with probably
one hundred thirty.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It's amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
And that would have one hundred and thirty points against
a team that's gonna like win the SEC.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
I tweeted a clip from Natotates press conference. I mean,
that's a guy he coaches the highest scoring offense, maybe
each and every year. He kind of I think it
was Kyle Tucker. He was like, did you say they
had twenty eight points in eight minutes? And then Kyle
says six. He goes twenty eight points in six minutes,
Like Natots couldn't even believe that stat. Stand it out loud.
And that's a guy who's seen a lot of offense.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
And we talked about defense, Okay, I mean they gave
up ninety five, so I'm not gonna act like it
was the best.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Defense in the world, but they had a stretch Ryan.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
The score was thirty one thirty I think, and they
had a stretch where they went on like an eighteen
to two or twenty to two run. They got like
seven or eight defensive stops in a row, and that
was the difference in the game.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And that was one of those we've talked about.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Man, if they could just get ten percent better in defense,
you could win.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
I'm kind of pointing to games like that. Right.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
They didn't play great defense the whole game, but they
had a stretch where they locked him down and got
a cushion that then they didn't give up the rest
of the time.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
I think rafter he said that he goes to Alabama
has to score on this possession, and then they did.
Next time. Alabama absolutely needs to get his bucket on
this possession. Nothing because Kentucky was getting the job.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He kind of reminded me of the Tennessee game in reverse.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
We had a little stretch at the beginning where we
got down ten and then we just could not get back.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
We just could not.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
We could get it to six, but then they'd get
it back to twelve or four till we just could
not get those ten points back because we were asleep
for four or five minutes. I think That's what happened
to them. Alabama just had a stretch and it got
away from them, and then you got to like twenty
in it would make flip for a little bit and
then we were.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Able to just put them away.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
And the defense was more active than I think they've
been all season. They were getting in passing lane. You know,
we talked a lot about they sit around and is
watching the ball? All five guys nearly every possession, we're
doing something and that's why it led to a lot
of breakaways. It got to Alabama was just jumping in
the air and kind of throwing it back to the
top of the key, and it led to some some
transition transition points, but that's because the defense was doing
so good at locking them down.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Isn't it fun just to watch them like that?
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Dude, It's incredible.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Where where I mean when Justin Edwards would hit his
threes re I mean, it's funny when reeveshoots, I just
always assumed sien when it doesn't go in, I'm like,
has someone checked the rim to make sure it's okay?
Speaker 6 (18:17):
I have that level?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
And then Justin Edwards ten for ten, Like remember Laterner
went ten for ten and get in that game in
ninety two, like that's an historic game.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
And uh, you mentioned Rodney, didn't Kenny Walker had a
couple more, But none of those guys took a three pointer.
Justin Edwards did it shooting four or three points, So
that makes it even more impressive.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I think somebody, I think it was Corey Price said
since two thousand maybe or two thousand and five, only
three players in all of the NCAA have made ten
shots ten of ten or more while shooting four threes,
and one of them was Buddy Healed at Oklahoma And
then I didn't know the other guy.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
But what Justin Edwards did in mind the LSU game?
Remember he had three three pointers in the LSU game.
You know, is it finally we're getting to see the
guy we've been waiting.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
For all clearly? Yeah, clearly. And he's playing good defense
now he is, he's playing really.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
So happy for him, man, he was so good to
see him smile and Kenny Walker.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
UK released a video yesterday with Kenny Walker as the narrator.
He said that he thinks Antonio. At the end of
the video he's talking about Antonio or reeves that he
thinks he's the most underrated player in UK history.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Wow, it's very fair because he may graduate as the
most efficient offensive player Kentucky has ever had first threes,
field goal percentage and guy.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
With the numbers.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Antonio Reaves is a Kentucky should be an All American
And he said, I think he's the most under because
there's so many other guys on the team that he's
the most I mean, Kenny Walker knows something about you.
I mean, he's he's seen it since the eighties, all
of it.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
What do you think of that? I actually was like, wow,
that's a strong statement.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
But when you think about the numbers of what Reeves does,
it's it's an automatic twenty. I mean we're talking about Edwards.
Reeves went seven of ten. He didn't miss much, but
it's just it's like it's a given at this point.
He's we talked about after the game he's close to
doing the you know, the fifty percent Phil goal for
free throw. I think he's gonna miss it on free
throw by like a eighty eight right now. But that
(20:21):
is just insanity for a guy that takes as many
shots as he does.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That's what I said.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
He maybe the player ever those three in those three categories. Yeah,
he he any other team, you're right. If you're the
best player, leading scorer on UK, you're an All American
candidate if you're doing what he's doing. So he needs
to be in that conversation.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Who's up next? Shit, Paul, Paul, go ahead. Paul A.
Speaker 9 (20:45):
Natt As was just calling to say that I broke
my really bad streak of live games. Took my son
to his first game, took my dad for his seventieth,
and I don't think I could have picked a better one.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Oh that's a great one. What a fun game. I
wasn't in attendance, but being there in person had to
be awesome.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
It was awesome. I mean, the crowd was hyped, and
then it was weird because at some point you're just
like looking at the scoreboard, going, there's like fifteen minutes
left and we've got ninety something.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Baged to even comprehend, but uh yeah, I was on
a I was on a really bad live game streak.
I went to Indy for the Champions Classic, Washington losing
overtime in Michigan State before that blown out.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
But I don't need to hear all the games you've cursed,
but this one was This one was much better.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
Oh, it just made up for all those those bad ones.
But uh, it was a great experience being there with
my son for his first game, and then my dad
probably got the best seventieth birthday ever.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Now that sounds awesome. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
But where do you rank it? Some of these great
beatdowns Kentucky's had over the years, where do you rank
that one? Like a Florida game and O three the
first half against UC I love that.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Yeah, those two to me are better, just because I
don't think this Alabama team is all that good. I mean,
just to be honest with you, I think they're they're
gonna win the SEC again, and you gotta give Nato.
That's gonna be three straight SEC regular season titles. So
that's or three or four maybe, but that's awesome. I
don't think like I thought. I mean that O three
Florida team was great. Yeah, one that UCLA team went
(22:26):
to the what Elite eight or something like that, and
and so those. But in terms of an offensive performance, Drew,
I don't know how many you're gonna see better than that.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Just recently when they destroyed Tennessee tit I had, yeah,
almost thirty amazing, but.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
That was one half. If we did this the whole.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
Game, Yeah, that game comes to mind, but that still
wasn't anything like Saturday.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
I think the win we got at Kansas when they
then went and won the title is also up there
a couple of years ago. But I don't know that
I've seen a better Just like they're not ever gonna
stop us performance. We'll take a break, very bags, kiss.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
TJ and with personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
He'll make them pay now.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio here at KS Bar and Grill.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Thanks to all the technicians riding us in on the
text machine saying hey, things don't sound great.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
We're working on it.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Hopefully it'll hopefully it'll be be better coming forward. What
person rites, Matt? What do you think are the great
beat downs in UK history? Somebody wrote one? I think
this is good. Ninety three tournament Ryan against Wake Forest
and Florida State when we just absolutely demolished them.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah ninety three was that the same year they had
eighty one in the half against LSU, I mean they.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Were I just think that might have been the next year.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Oh that was the next year.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I think so ninety three though, we beat Florida State
and Wake Forest by like thirty in the tournament.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Yeah, you're you're up thirty, like by halftime almost, it
seems like in those two.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Games also, I like the Florida one. Yeah, what was
the one?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I just had one on my mind a second ago
when they destroyed Kansas and U c.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
L A both early in the thirty one team. That
was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The thirty eight one, yes, No, that was defense. We
mentioned that in the other segment the I got one
for you, Okay, what is it?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Was it the ninety three SEC tournament when Kentucky did
College Tennessee with Alan Houston.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Forty Yeah, Todds s Aboda had four points, Alan Houston
had three points.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Try the day Todds Swibota outscored Alan Houston.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
That was that was a great beat Vandy by sixty
one year I think.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
That was ninety that was six. That was ninety, No,
it was that was about and they killed him in
senior senior day. They bring it brought in Azabuki who
people didn't really know even got like a dunk, one.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Of the best dunks I've ever seen at Rupperina.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah, Drew's right, that was O three. That was a
great one. Yeah, there was one in recent years though
that I'm trying well beat down, didn't we We took
Vandy on the road not that long ago and absolutely
destroyed them.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
Well, I can't remember the year. I just remember them
being up by so much.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
They were about like a thousand in that gym at Vandy.
What year was that? Well, we're now becoming old man,
what year with that? But but you do.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Remember those incredible beatdowns. And now this one's gonna be
in that conversation.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I think it is.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Yeah, I think I think this one is is right
there with it. Let's talk because there is now on
first take. Let's talk about the court storming thing. It
looks like Philipowski's probably gonna be okay.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Yeah, So that's good, very good.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
Because if he had gotten hurt, then I think it's open. Yeah,
and then I think court storming is done. You know,
now that he's not hurt, we'll see. What do you think.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Let's start with this.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Do you think court storming as a practice is something
that should be preserved or not before you do how
you do it, do you think gets something that should
be preserved.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I'm in the boat that it's such a special part
of what makes college basketball and college football great. When
your team pulls off a big upset or maybe a
last second shot or last second field goal, and the
fans get to celebrate with the team. I would hate
to see that be taken away.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
So you'd like to keep it, yes, Okay, I'm also
for keeping it. I do think we need to it
needs to get back to where it's a truly special moment.
It's getting a little too frequent, Like wouldn't Wake Forest
favored in that game. I don't know how you do that,
I know, but I'm saying it is too big of
a game to completely take away.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah yeah, I mean you're not being able to say
you all could do it today. You can't do it today.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I just wish it was a little more sacred than
it's gotten. But I don't think you.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Took But I mean I think I do think to
Shannon's point about sort of like predicting it, there's only
a handful.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Of times that's gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas. So my view is
one of those teams comes to your town, you gotta
be ready, Okay. And then if it's like Purdue when
they're ranked high, Houston when they're ranked high, you know
what I mean, Like Kentucky they storm the court against LSU.
Duke's not great, they storm the when Kentucky and Duke
(27:16):
come to town. You gotta know as a as a
as an institution, this could happen. Uh huh, So I
gotta be ready. I'm with you, though, I do think
you can. I don't want to see it go away
because it's such a unique part of college basketball.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
But what makes it a little harder.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
In college basketball than even football is the students can
get there so quick, you know what I mean. Like
like in football, they got to climb down from things
and it takes them in it. In basketball, they can
just be there. Yeah, And so I do think that
makes it harder. Shannon, do you want to see it preserved?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yes, I think we're all on the same page. I
like it.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I don't know how you prevent it. Do you put
a cage around the court like what you like? How
do you stop it though, is the question right?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Well, first of all, you've got the literally physical how
do you keep that many people back?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Can't?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I mean you can't just say fines because we have
fines in the SEC and they did it Tuesday night.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
They don't.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I mean, the kids don't care about they're paying those fines.
They're not paying. It's not their money. I think you
have what I liked, the idea of when the game's over,
you find a way to give the other team fifteen
seconds to get off the court.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
They're not gonna do that. It's a moment of excitement.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Well, the LSU game is the perfect example.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Okay, the Wake Forest game, they could have slowed that
group down. The LSU game, it's a shot at the buzzer.
It's spontaneous. I bet those kids didn't even plan on
do yeah, you know what I mean, and it just happens.
And I agree with Shannon, I don't know how you
stop that.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
There needs to be weighed. It might just be the
students have to police themselves and you warn them ahead
of time. I will make an example of you if
you're out there early. But there has to be a
delay where everyone involved knows that the team needs to
get off the court, and I know that's almost impossible
when it's excitement like that, but I think it's fine
as long as there's just a small window where the
(29:10):
Philipowski's are off the four completely. And it might just
be students have to know better. And it looks like
they bump knees. Yeah, it does, so it does.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
It does not look like the kid or him was
trying to hit the other one. It looks I mean,
he reached, he extends his arms after they bump knees,
but it looks like the initial contact was they bump knees. So,
but that's an example of that's inadvertent. Like I don't
think that kid was trying to hurt him. I don't
think Philipowski was trying.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
To hit the kid. But like it's just like it's
just gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Right, Can the schools say ahead of time, like you're saying,
you know, Duke's in town. If I'm the athletic director,
I'm saying, if any of your all on that court
before Duke's off the court, whatever penalty expel him. Like
if we have any incident where we're a national story
you're out of school. But at that point the students know, Okay,
we're allowed to do it, but we're gonna be careful
about it, and maybe take a couple of seconds to
(30:02):
know we're not gonna be the news for forty in
So it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
None of the four of us take the position that
seems to be the position the media is taking, which
is we got a ban.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, we're all on board, and we all agree. We
hate that Philipowski got hurt. We hate it that Kaitlyn
Clark maybe when she got bumped, could have been hurt.
We don't that, we don't we hate that.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
It's only a handful of teams that I mean it literally,
it's only I mean, I wonder how many court storms
have happened in a women's game ever, Like Caitlin Clark's
a unique phenomena.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Yes, right it It is.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Only Kentucky, Duke, Carolina, Kansas and then a couple of teams.
So like Shannon, you know when it's coming, you know
what I mean, It's not it's not that you have
to worry about it every game. It's just a handful
of times where it could happen.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right, and you're not gonna stop it. You could slow
it down. I mean, if you surrounded the entire court
with an extra amount of people, you know, police officers,
maybe you can slow it down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
But you're not gonna stop it.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
But you're right.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You gotta be prepared for those teams come to your town.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
And that's why I think it was on the postgame
show after the LSU game, the guy was like, we're
not a blue buddy anymore. Kentucky and Duke. This is
why Kentucky and Duke are different than every other school.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
They'll do that against us even if we're not that good.
That's right, you know what I mean. That's not true
about everybody else.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I don't think that even happens with North Carolina and Kansas.
Kentucky and Duke will have the court stormed. Whether they're
good or not. Duke's on the bubble right now, Duke.
Whether or not, they're like a four seed, but I
think they weren't underdog in there. They were an underdog
in that game, but they're I think they're ahead of
us in the in the bracketology.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
That's your point.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
They're Duke there, but they're Duke and Duke in Kentucky
will we'll see that happen to them. And so you
just know those teams are coming to town, so make
it to where you're ready for it.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
I kind of laugh when and you know they there,
and you mentioned that the counting down, so they're gonna
have the PA guy when the buzzer sounds, he's gonna
have to count ten na.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I don't know that.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Well, maybe you put up a graphic in the stadium
that says, if you're a student and you're on this
floor x minutes after the game, see it from school.
I know that seems ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
You can't kick a kid out of school.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Well something some kind of punishments so they know I'm
allowed to do this. I'm just not gonna go storm
it and trample somebody and end up being a story.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I guess I'm with you a little bit, Shannon, Like
you're not gonna be able to talk. I mean, there
are rules now, and kids break them all the time
about everything, Like, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
You know, when you're dealing with that many people, they're
going to do what they want. They got the numbers
on their side.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
You see. That's another thing.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
You have the numbers on your side and like you can't.
You know, think about the Indiana game when you and
I were there, there were people trying to stop them.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
You can can't do it.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
You can't catch them.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
So, you know, producer Matt during the studio told Shannon
this morning, let the players fight back, Let the players
lay a haymack ear once in a while on the fans.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Well, de Marcus did that, he did you remember DeMarcus
punched the dude at South Carrol.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I not even did have a shoulder and he touched.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
I saw a video last night on Twitter and it
was old, but it was the Pirates, Pittsburgh Pirates and
fans are on the field and the catcher is beating
the ever loving crap out of a fan with his
helmet like it's criminal and no one's doing anything.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It is interesting though, then in pro sports you go
to jail, and in college sports.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
It's nothing. I mean, that is strange, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
I don't know. Maybe they can arrest people, but man,
when you've got five hundred people on your court after
the game, that's gonna be tough to get everybody.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
It is. You know, I wouldn't be one of.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
The footbet arrested first and then go down Star. You know,
like they've already get their hands full with these other guys.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
I have the solution down dish soap all around the
court as the game.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
And they.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
The guy I was doing the show with on ESPN
Sunday's name is Jake Asmond. He suggested that you make
an announcement right before and say wait fifteen seconds. And
I was like, but think about how that would be practically.
Let's think about the Kentucky LSU game.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
We're up one.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
If they announce, hey, if we win, don't run on
the court.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
You know, cow's gonna go. Look, they already think they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Win, and they're suggesting you should do it.
Speaker 7 (34:28):
That in the event of an upset, take your time
getting to the court.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Hey, if you're always on the go, running, hitting the gym,
playing sports, court physical therapy will help make sure pain
doesn't slow you down. Our physical therapists helped Taylor a

(34:54):
Kosbargrill seem to have stabilized our situation a little bit
and we will take can break it be right back
is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tukey Sports Radio. He
fen on uh two twenty two eighty seven. People are
giving me great uh great beatdowns in UK history. Here's
two good ones, but a lot in the tournament. So
(35:17):
uh West Virginia or see mean yeah, West Virginia in
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 7 (35:20):
Yeah, after they talked about it, if they talked.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
All that trash just Paisley, No, not him, he didn't
talk trash, but some guy guaranteed to win.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
He talked trash to Peyton Manning on that.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yeah, I think you've been I think you've been one
of the player.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:37):
He said something about all the independent streak ends and
Willie got got the Kentucky locker right.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Well, No, I was one. I was actually the person
that went back and forth on that. I was at
the press conference with West Virginia, and then it might
have been Kyle as well. We went and immediately did
the Kentucky one and we read the quote to.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
The Darius Miles Junior Dexter Miles June scored zero points
that guarantee you.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
He said the streak ends tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
And I think I was standing there and I think
I said to him, or if it wasn't me, it
was Kyle. One of them said to them, they said
the streak ends tomorrow. And I think Willie looks at
me and goes.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Did he really say that? And I was like, I
promise you he did. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Dexter miles over from the field with zero assists, zero stills.
I mean he he almost did the whole thing all
zeros Wake.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Forest, and we seem like we beat wake Forest pretty good.
Wake Forest.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
In the twenty ten tournament with bles Aaron Bledsoe hit
all those threes. Remember that was a That was a
big beat down too.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
That was the answer to the trivia question tonight. That's
a game he had over twenty eight points in a
tournament game.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yes, so uh, those are all ones that that stick
out af I'm nine twenty two eighty seven. By the way,
before we go to the phones, you are walking tomorrow
to Clark's Pumping Shop. So you're gonna be here to
start the show, yes, and then you're gonna walk out
and you are gonna walk to Clark's pumping shops on
Lucille since you didn't know where it was.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
And according to my GPS, it's exactly a two hour
walk from here to there, so I've got to have
to hoof it to get there by the end of
the show.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
You can't stop. No, I can't, now do you what
if it's raining? There's some reports that may rain tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Well, you know Shannon wossed out when he when it started.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
The options and not one I gave him.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
It was gonna rain for twenty straight hours. So it's
a little different than your two hour walk.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
But you know, they've got a big event playing when
I get there, like free drinks and goodies and some
UK players are gonna be there signing autograph and it
turned into it turned into a big deal.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Yeah, yes, so you but you need to uh, you
need to be ready. So we're gonna come in here.
Well have you on at the very beginning? Then you're
taking off. I got to take off.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Do you know your route? Yes?
Speaker 5 (37:46):
What is it down here? Then Oliver Lewis then to
Lee's Town Road.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Yeah, that's the quickest way. When I hear to Old
Frankfurt Pike, cut over.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
To uh Oliver Lewis.
Speaker 6 (37:59):
Alexandria, and then Alexander comes out there on lee'stown right,
Oh not Oliver. That's the quickest way. According to the GPS.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Alexandria comes out where.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
It goes to the Secretariat roundabout. I want to take
old Frankfort Pike to that roundabout and then go up
Alexandria to That's what it says, the quick is the
quickest way.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Well, I mean you go, you take the map. I mean,
I'm Shannon. No, I'm not gonna say I know more
than the Internet, so I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Never said that before.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I've never said that before, so I'm not gonna do that. Well,
it's uh so tomorrow, if you are driving around, uh,
you should look for Ryan.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Say hi to him, give him a honk. I mean,
I guess you're gonna be by yourself. Is anyone walking
with you?
Speaker 6 (38:39):

After assuming you cross the finish that they pay for
their coffee or you don't show.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
Well, better work on it. You could also run, get
those arms swinging power walk.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Yeah, I don't know if that's so.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
If you if you're someone out there who can walk
at a brisk pace, maybe they could pay you like
a horse.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
I guess we need someone keep eyeballs on him. Maybe
we don't want you catching the little ruds. Get him
a few blocks, but.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
I mean, no one's you can't get in a car.

get down time.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
No, we're not doing that.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
You have to walk any I will say this, if
anyone catches Ryan cheating, I will give a reward for
you catching Ryan cheating. This is like, this is like
a crime thing. If you catch Ryan cheating and take
a picture of a video of him cheating, I will
give you a reward, and Ryan will have to do
(39:59):
a public punishment as part of it. So I do
want the war. It's kind of like people don't know
I have spies during my trivia here, and if someone catches.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Them, I pay them.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Oh see, people don't know that we haven't caught anybody
yet because people are following the rules.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
But Ryan, you don't know I do this to you
in life. I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
Watching you all across the city in case you're doing
something you shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Well.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
I checked out my route last week and it's I
don't know where to go, but there's some parts that
they don't have a sidewalk. I have to walk in
the side of the road or in the grass I
want to be.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
But you know on the thing you can put make
me go on the side where there are sidewalks.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
It'll take me longer to get there. It's like two
hours fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
They get you.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
It's a big one. All I know is I mean
there are probably long distance runners who can get there
in time. If they can get there, you can.
Speaker 6 (40:53):
You're supposed to walk against the traffic, right, and so
if the place the areas they don't have a sidewalk,
walk against the traffic.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
And I'm not advocating you to walk where there's not
a sidewalk. So like I think you should be planning
your trip to go where there are sidewalks. I'm not
asking you to like walk on train tracks and stuff.
I want you to Plus, these are major roads. What
road are you talking about with no sidewalk? Why don't
you drive it on the way home so you know
(41:20):
your paths there?
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I did Alexandria from the roundabout to a man of War.
There's a long stretcher. It doesn't have a sidewalk. You're
walking down Man of War, not Man of War least
town road.
Speaker 9 (41:32):
Don't know?
Speaker 6 (41:33):
I said no war, I said secretariat went to man
of War.
Speaker 5 (41:37):
Okay, don't walk where there's not a sidewalk. I don't
want you to get hurt. Well, I'll have to leave
from here. Then earlier than ten. You leave at ten o'clock,
you're going back. Listen, you've had a long time to
get this walk fast.
Speaker 7 (41:50):
Also, that's just the suggested Google pace. You set your
own paces. The average American you need to be going.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
I feel like you would get there before.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
The show was over there by the first down.
Speaker 7 (42:00):
Just just like when Google tells me it's out there.
Speaker 5 (42:03):

do like this when they walk. Yeah, do that with
your little hips going in and now you'll make.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
