Starting point is 00:02:45 Welcome, everyone. It is the local toy dealers, KSR postgame show, live from Chicago, Illinois. Kentucky tonight beats Bucknell, 100 to 72 in a game that really shows the new Kentucky basketball. Didn't even necessarily play that great and still win by 28. That's what you got to love. You can give us a shout.
Starting point is 00:03:09 I'll go ahead and open up the phone lines, 859-280-2287. I'm here in Chicago because tomorrow I'm doing ESPN from Soldier Field. It is rainy and cold here, Billy. You didn't tell me it was going to be this cold in Chicago. I had to watch the second half in Macy's when I went to buy jackets. Oh, really? Well, I'm going to need a jacket tomorrow morning, I'm sure, and I did not come prepared. But I did and watch the second half in May season.
Starting point is 00:03:40 What I saw, after listening to the first half on the drive, was a Kentucky team that continues to impress in different, and every time in different ways. Tonight it was rebounding. 57 rebounds against Bucknell, 22 offensive rebounds. You know, Mark Pope said in the pregame, I want, if you listen to his pregame interview with Tom Leach, he said, I want to work on offensive rebounding. Well, they come out and get 22. 57 is a lot as a team win the rebounding battle, 57 to 35. Tucky makes, I guess what, 13 threes, which is more than they made last game, but shoots 36% still scores 100 points. You know, there's a lot of ways you could focus with this team.
Starting point is 00:04:27 I'm going to start big picture, which is I just really enjoy watching this group. As I said, I had to drive up here, so I listened to the first half. And if you listen to Tom and Jack, you hear, especially in Jack, the joy of just watching them play. They're so much fun. They share the ball. And like I said, I don't even think they played particularly great tonight. But even in a game where maybe they didn't share it as much early in the second half, Kirkresa, 12 assist.
Starting point is 00:04:56 12 assist. I mean, that kid basically gave up a, he's now two games in a row, giving up wide open shots, layups to get pass out to open threes. This is a team that really seems to enjoy playing together, and they are just a fun, fun team to watch. So that's the number one thing is I look forward to these games. I've talked sometimes about the last few years, you know, I mean, I wanted to win and I love Kentucky basketball.
Starting point is 00:05:23 They just weren't fun. to watch play. This team is fun to watch play. Five guys and double figures. That's the other thing. I mean, this is a very balanced team. In the first two games, the leading scores have been Otega O'Way and Kobe Brea, which if you went into the season and you told me, okay, who are the leading scorers going to be? I think we predicted those two guys would be fourth and fifth on the team in scoring. So we still haven't had Jackson Robinson lead the team in scoring, Carr, or Butler.
Starting point is 00:05:54 All three of those guys will lead the team in scoring at least once. So the varied ways that they can, you know, that they can put the ball in the basket. Kobe Braga, six for eight from three. He is shooting. Now, I know it's two games, but he is shooting 82% from the three point line. I mean, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:14 That's absolutely crazy. But talk about a guy. I mean, we talked last year some with Antonio and read about guys over the years that you just thought, well, he shoots its end. This dude's getting to that level where when he shoots, I just assume it's going in. Mari Williams, 14 rebounds, ends up with the double double, 13 and 14. That's a pretty impressive game. Why did he get that technical, Billy? I couldn't, in Macy's, I couldn't tell why he got a technical.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Why did he get a technical? I missed it, and the announcing crew kind of. of missed it too. They just barely caught it afterwards. So I'm not sure why. Okay. Well, I don't know why he got a technical, but whatever it was, I'm fine with it because he played, he played hard. It was exciting. I get to give my guy Ansley Almanor credit, nine points again. And he, he's been really good this year a little bit, I don't want to say a little bit to my surprise, probably a lot to my surprise. So, and you know, Jackson Robinson, by the way, led the team in scoring at the end of the first half, finished with 14. I mean, he's going to all year, like finish with between 14 and 20 every game.
Starting point is 00:07:18 and we're going to be, we won't even mention him because that's just kind of how he plays. So overall, I mean, look, I don't know how great the Bucknell team is. We'll wait and see. But this Kentucky team is fun. And we'll get, we will get a real reality check. It may not be a check. Maybe it'll be happiness, but a reality view of where Kentucky is on Tuesday. You know, our neighbors down the road, Louisville, they got that.
Starting point is 00:07:48 today. They kind of thought we're back and then they lost by 22 today at home to Tennessee and we're never in the game. I don't think that's going to happen to us. But it's going to be interesting to watch the game Tuesday because we'll get to see where we are. And I don't, I really don't know where it is. I don't know. I don't know if we win. I don't know if we lose a close game. I don't know if we lose by 10. I don't think we'll get blown out. This team's too experienced. But I really enjoy watching this group. And while, you know, we're going to see over time how good they are, I do know this. They are a lot of fun to watch play. And the joy of Kentucky basketball, you know, it's back. I couldn't tell. I didn't see a picture. The crowd looked
Starting point is 00:08:38 really good to me, Billy, on television. Did you hear? Was it a really? good crowd today? Yeah, I saw a video of it. It looked pretty good. A couple empty seats, but besides that, overall, it was good. Yeah, our bar was great all day, so I assume that means the crowd was really good there. Just overall, the good vibes continue. And now Tuesday, Tuesday's the big one. Tuesday is the one where, you know, we find out, where is this team? Is this a team that's a bubble team? Is this a team that's top 25 but the bottom of the top 25 or are we maybe a top 10 team? I think we'll know on Tuesday, at least where we are now.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I kind of think we're more towards 8 to 10 than 23 to 25. And you've got to give Mark Pope credit. I do want to say one more thing about Mark Pope. because I was driving, I ended up listening to the entire pregame show. And Mark Pope, maybe I just like it because he kind of talks the way I enjoy. But man, I love listening to him. He in the pregame was talking about Bucknell and he talked about every player in their eight-man rotation. detail about their game,
Starting point is 00:10:07 what they were good at, what they tried to do, the way they would attack. And he didn't just say, oh, this is the team that likes to shoot threes and hustles. He was like, number 31, he actually cuts to the basket, and you got to watch his left hand. And I was sitting there thinking,
Starting point is 00:10:22 dude, even if somebody wrote that down for him, he knows it. And that staff is prepared in a way that is insanely impressive. it with the results. They come in with a guy who, you know, is, I think scored 28 points his first game and his first team preseason all conference and he ends up with seven points and they basically shut him out. I don't know what this team's going to do, but I'll tell you this, they're not
Starting point is 00:10:51 going to be out prepared. And for me, as somebody who likes to think of sports and everything and sort of impart intellectually, this is going to be the smartest team we've seen in a long time and that's pretty exciting at least to me 85928027 love to hear from you like i said Louisville lost earlier today to tennessee oh georgia just went down at old miss the only team that can win in oxford oh you got to be pretty good to win in oxford billy and i think there's only one cc team that can do it that's the kentucky wildc yeah that's even weirder now after this result don't you worry about it we win Georgia can't do it we do it uh on the road then you know Big game tonight, Alabama, LSU.
Starting point is 00:11:36 So a lot of stuff going on, and we will take a break and take calls. 859-280-2287 from Chicago, Illinois. It's the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. Text machine, 772-774-5-25-4. I'll read you a couple of comments. One person writes, Matt,
Starting point is 00:11:59 great seeing them the team be prepared every game, and then coming out and scoring more than 10 points in the first 10 minutes. That's the truth. I mean, they didn't even, they didn't shoot well early. And they got eight offensive rebounds, I think, in like the first six minutes. It's nice to see that. It's nice to see, again, it's just fun. I mean, look, they're going to have to win as the year goes on clearly.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But, like, these games are not a chore to watch. They're exciting to watch. And I think my rule is 71 is not going to be. go apply to this team, Billy. They score too much, right? Like, I think that rule, which is a college basketball rule, I'm not sure it applies with a Mark Pobair. No, you've got to bump that up this year. That number's going to have to bump up. I don't know what it'll be, but it's going to have to bump up, but we just played too fast. If you had Reed and Robb coming off the bench last year,
Starting point is 00:12:49 it's Kerr and Kobe this year. Yeah, but Jackson, but we got some pretty good guys starting to. I mean, there might be, I mean, who are you going to take out? You're going to take out Butler? You're going to take out Oway? No, I'm fine with them being on the balance. I don't know who you're talking. I think what you're going to see sometimes is they might play four perimeter. I mean, they might put Bray in and sometimes take Carr out. The only thing, the only, again, I'm nitpicking here because I haven't been down about anything.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I thought we'd see a little bit more from Carr. That's really the, but even that's nitpicking because he's been double figures, so like you can't complain. But, yeah, it's just, I don't know as a Kentucky fan what more. you could hope for. But we get one of the big boys here this week. 859-280-2287. Who's up next?
Starting point is 00:13:41 Drake. Drake. Drake. How are you, Drake? Hi, how are you, Matt? I'm wonderful. What's going on? I thought I was there at the game tonight,
Starting point is 00:13:52 and I just thought our defense looked incredible compared to past years with Cal. And I just thought that we had our hands up. We were going to the ball, even off ball. We looked good. I just thought, that our defense look great compared to cowhiers. It's really surprising to me how good the defense is. I kind of assumed that we were just going to give up a boatload of points, right?
Starting point is 00:14:13 Which is, I don't know why I assumed that because we have three guys who are first team all defense in their conferences, so I probably shouldn't have assumed that. But I kind of did. And our defense is really good. I mean, you know, when we go through cold stretches, which we did at times, that has been probably the most surprising thing to me is how good our defense has been. Yeah, and I also thought, you know, cry, cry little bird, Pat Kelsey, lost by 20. Yeah, they got the crowd they wanted.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I appreciate the call. They got the crowd they wanted. They ended up with a good atmosphere. And then I was watching that game while I was eating lunch, and they were down 10-0 with a snap of a finger and were never in it. I would say this. Now, they're not as talented as we are. So, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It's totally fair to compare them because I just don't think they're as good. But it was interesting watching them, Billy. They look to me like a team that when you cut off their threes, they have nothing else they can do. Like nothing. And that maybe was what I was worried about with the Pope era, and I don't think that's true. I think we do other stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:32 But it is clear. Tennessee was like, you're not getting open looks from three, and they had nothing else they could do, like nothing. I mean, their offense was bad, and Tissy didn't even play particularly well. Zikaa Zika had, what, 11 turnovers today, something crazy, and they still won by 20. So I think a lot of my worries about Pope, I actually see in that Pat Kelsey Louisville team. But to be fair, they have a lot less talent than we do. They really don't have a ton of players.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I thought their players were going to be better than they are. Who's next? Stub. Stubb. What's up, Stubb. Oh, hey, Matt. So I still haven't not understood why this team was ranked so low. Like when they put the roster, when the final roster was put together,
Starting point is 00:16:26 and I started watching some of those guys, you know, on their, you know, clips on YouTube and whatever, I was like, got to top 10 teams. Yeah. Like, I don't understand why they were ranked in the 20s and why they're still ranking the 20s. They're doing everything they need to do. They're destroying all these teams. Now, they might come out Tuesday night and get beat by 12 or 15. I hope they don't.
Starting point is 00:16:52 But this is a top 10 team. It's a final 4 team. I don't understand what people are doing. Well, I mean, I can tell you why I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure because I'm not. sure that I thought any of these, none of these players had been like the primary score on a team that had had a ton of success. Now, Lamont Butler was a great player on San Diego State, but I don't think he was the primary score. And then Jackson Robinson was the sixth man.
Starting point is 00:17:23 He kind of was sort of the score, but they of course lost in the first round. So it was just like, it's hard to know. And the other thing is I think we're conditioned to look at stars, you know what I mean like recruiting stars in the last 15 years and this team's not that but i'm with you now that we've seen them play why not why is this team not top 10 or top 12 i'm with you appreciate the call i mean i watch let you oh i'm sorry go ahead finish no go ahead they've got well i'm done so if you appreciate the call do i have a delay billy is that what it is uh no i think he was he had a little delay. Okay. All right. Well, if I have a delay, let me know. I think we're okay. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what else do you want. You know, I've watched some of the best teams play. I watched Kansas in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:18:20 last night. I watched Tennessee, obviously today. Baylor and Arkansas are playing here in a little bit. You know, I'm not saying that we're, like take Kansas. Are we better than Kansas? Well, probably not, but I mean, North Carolina nearly lost to Elon and should have won that game last night at Kansas. So I don't know. I don't know why we don't have a shot. I mean, these dudes, sure, I don't know that we have a certified pro for sure on the team. But I think every dude on this team that's in the rotation can play. So that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Who's next? Bluegrass. Bluegrass. What's up? Matt, can you hear me okay? Yes, go ahead. All right. What I'm talking about, how about the humility and curiosity and humbleness that Pope keeps talking about?
Starting point is 00:19:20 What are the chances that we are way ahead of the curve on the next, like, elite, elite coach? Well, see, here's the thing that I don't, over the years you got to know with Cal, like, you could sort of decipher whether or not he thought his team was really good or not. You know what I mean? Like, we started to learn what Cal speak was. I don't know what Pope speak is. So I don't know, like, is he always this confident or not? Does he always project this optimism or not? I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:53 But I will say this, when you listen to him, he projects like he thinks this team is really good. And I don't know. I am all in. Absolutely. I'm all in. And, you know, eight years from now, we have two national championships and he leaves for the Utah Jazz? I don't know. But I'm telling you, I'm all in.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Well, I appreciate the call. You know, do we have the next great coach? I don't know. I will say this. I feel confident, Billy, about one thing. I think we have one of the smartest coaches in college basketball. Would you agree with that? It's hard not to have that takeaway after hearing everything he said.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I feel like I can judge smart and he's pretty smart. And I can tell the way he, well, I mean, even if I'm not smart, I've been around a lot of smart people, right, in the various things. That dude's a really smart guy. And if we're talking in the basketball coach world, like, I don't know how many basketball coaches I've heard that are more articulate and speak on a higher intellectual level than Mark Pope. I'm sure there are, but I can't think of one.
Starting point is 00:21:02 So he's got the intelligence. It looks like he's pretty good at recruiting. I mean, I guess the next, he seems to have strategy that's as good. So I guess the next thing is like, let's just watch him coach through the year, Billy, but what else would you want from a coach than what we've seen from Mark right now? The only thing left is winning, which is, of course, probably the most important characteristic. Yeah, no, I mean, from what he's done from day one, not much more. I mean, he wants some big games with lesser talent last year.
Starting point is 00:21:32 too. Yeah. I mean, I really don't know what else you could want at this point. And now, you know, in the next five weeks, six weeks, they're going to play Duke at Clemson, at Gonzaga, Louisville, and Ohio State. I don't know what his record's going to be those five games. I think we're going to know a lot more about what he is as a coach after that. But, you know, you can only judge on what's happened, and I don't know how he could have done any better so far. Who's next? Richard. Richard.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Go ahead, Richard. Hey, Matt. Unfortunately, I was unable to watch the game because it was on ESPN Plus. Yes. It's on the computer. I just don't have that access. Yeah, and I was talking about Mark Pope being a smart person. Didn't you go to medical school for like two years?
Starting point is 00:22:33 and decide, no, I'm going to be a basketball game. Did he actually end up, it was a year, but did he actually end up going? I can't remember if he was going to go and didn't go or did go and didn't like it, but it was, it was something. He definitely got into, he was a Rhodes Scholar. He was a Rhodes Scholar candidate, which you can't be stupid and be a Rhodes Scholar candidate. So yes, he's clearly very smart. Yeah, he's very, very, very, can I mention something about college football right now?
Starting point is 00:22:59 I never would have thought that I would actually tune into a Vanderbill game, football game, and an Indiana football game, and be, I mean, it's just crazy. It's crazy. I mean, I know Indiana used to play Kentucky back in the 90s, but they're what, like 10 and 0 right now? It's crazy. It's crazy. Thank you, Matt. I appreciate the call.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Yeah, I mean, Indiana, listen. one thing that is clear to me is that the NIL world has made it to where the world is getting flatter in college football. You can be good. I mean, Indiana. I still don't know how good Indiana is, Billy. I mean, I know they're 10 and 0, so they're clearly decent. But today is the first time they've played a team with a winning record. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:23:50 Michigan now doesn't even have a winning record. Yeah, they don't have any wins over a team with a winning record. Well, I mean, is it too much to, I mean, look, they won. They won tonight. But it was a Michigan team that's been, that's five and five played a minute. I mean, look, they play Ohio State in a couple weeks. We'll know after that, right? If they're in that game, then they, but you know, they'll probably play Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And then they may end up, but you know what the best thing could be for them, Billy? Play Ohio State and lose. Then they don't have to play in the Big Ten title game. No, I'm serious. Yeah. I mean. Play Ohio State and lose. Then Ohio State and Oregon.
Starting point is 00:24:29 have a rematch in the Big Ten title game, you don't have to play in it, and you go to the play Ohio State. Well, if you play Ohio State and win, then you're probably making the playoff whether you beat Oregon or not. So chances are very high that Indiana is going to playoff. Yeah, there's a lot of things for the SEC tiebreaker as well. Like it could be a mess. I mean, I don't know what's going to happen with the SEC, right? So you got Texas and Texas, A&M and Texas both have one loss. And I think if Tennessee and LSU win tonight, they'll all have one loss. Tennessee still has to play Georgia. Texas plays Texas A&M.
Starting point is 00:25:03 That's like a winner gets in. It could be six teams at 10 and 2 in the SEC. Then how do you pick who's in? I mean, because they probably won't, because Ohio State's going to make it, Oregon's going to make it, Indiana is going to make it, and probably Penn State's going to make it. So we're only going to get four.
Starting point is 00:25:23 So they're going to have to be four of those six probably. Who's next? By the way, Mark Pope was about to start his fourth year in medical school at Columbia. Columbia University. Oh, he did three years of medical school? Yep. And then he took a $24,000 a year job at Georgia as a coordinator,
Starting point is 00:25:39 assistance, operations coordinator. Three years. And I'll, for some reason, it never processed me. He went to Columbia. Yeah, that's not a bad school. I can judge smart on that. That's a pretty good school. Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:50 That's up where I, when I would go to New York. That was up there where I stayed. So, wow. All right. Who's next? Sosa. Sosa. What's up?
Starting point is 00:25:59 right what's up guys and thank you billy for letting me on i appreciate that of course um and then yeah i was going to touch on the uh columbia yeah he definitely went to columbia and he just dropped out that's just that's maddening to me but hey yeah how do you drop out you he dropped out at columbia medical school that's uh yeah his parents probably gave him the same yeah his parents probably gave him the same Like mine did when, Billy, when I said I was quitting being a lawyer. Yeah. Start a blog. Start a blog, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Sounds familiar doesn't it, Matt. And also, as you said, not to nitpick a little, but in my opinion, Williams needs to cut down on his turnovers. And I believe Carr is just, he's just not very good at defense. He's not a great defender. No. He's not a great defender. Yeah, he's not a great defender. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Sorry, and last thing, ESPN doesn't pay you to fly out of Chicago? Well, I don't love flying. I appreciate the call. I mean, I don't, and it's four and a half hours from Louisville. By the time, Bill, you get to the airport, right? You get through all that. And then the Chicago airport is like an hour drive from downtown in traffic for 45 minutes. I feel like I can get here just as quick driving.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Well, you get your own car too. Have your own car. And, you know, tomorrow I'm going to the game. The only flight out was like at 7.30. And I thought, man, I'll kind of be pushing it. And I want to enjoy my experience. So I was like, you know what? I'll just drive.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Come back Monday. Plus, I like driving. It's peaceful to me. I get to be off my phone. Who's up next? I'm glad you got a coat, though. You're probably going to need that. How did I not think it would be?
Starting point is 00:27:58 cold up here. I don't know. Especially November. I mean, it's, it's really cold and it's rainy. And then, of course, the Bears game, that's on the lake. Yeah. So it's going to be even colder. And my show is outside tomorrow. How did I not think to, it would be cold? Anyway, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Dale. Dale, how are you, Dale? Hey, what's up, Matt? What's going on? I'd take my earbuds out, man. Sorry. Well, take your time. Yeah. Well, I got you now, but I'll tell you, I don't think I've called a basketball postgame show before, but I'm really loving Mark Pope and the nostalgia from the 1990s.
Starting point is 00:28:40 The way this team's playing, I don't think anybody can be critical right now. You know, if they go when they lose to Duke, that's fine. But you know what? They're not going to get blown out by Duke or are they? I don't think so, no, I don't think so. I would be very, very surprised if that happened. I, you know, look, Duke's very young. I mean, Duke's got more on-paper talent than us, but they're very young.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So, I mean, look, I don't know what's going to happen Tuesday night, but I, I would be, the only result that would surprise me is either team blowing the other one out. I think the game is going to be 10 to 12 points either way, and it wouldn't shot me if we won. It wouldn't shot me if we lost. But, yeah, I'd be surprised. I think this team is not the kind of team that's going to get blown out by a bunch of freshmen. I just don't think so. Well, they're like Mark's Ben.
Starting point is 00:29:37 You know, I mean, these guys are grown up, and the more time that goes on during this season, they're going to build a bond, so to speak, throughout the year. And I'm trying to keep, you know, my expectations tempered. But it's hard not to get excited about this team and this coach and everything. got going on. Yeah, well, I appreciate the call. Billy, will you pull up from my Twitter, the Kerr-Kreisa quote about Cooper Flag? Yes, yeah, I can do that. This is great. We'll play it after the, after the next call. Yeah, I don't, I'd be shocked if we got, if we got blown out. I think we have a little bit of an inferiority complex going
Starting point is 00:30:25 into this game, in part because the jersey says Duke and we're like, what? two and nine against them since 1990. You know, we've only beaten them twice. We talk about that, 1998 and then the Jamal Murray team. So part of it is that. Part of it is that they've got the kind of talent on paper that we have had in the years past and that on paper we don't have this year. So I think that gives it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And then there's also not one to get our hopes up. But these are grown men we have. These are not kids. They are men. And I don't know. I feel good about it. Who's next? You want to hear the quote?
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah, so this is Kirk Creesa was asked. You talk about a dude that likes to talk trash. He was asked about the fact that we're playing Duke and what he thought. It's going to be exciting. You know, probably more exciting for fans. You know, fans like to do Kentucky match up. But, you know, for us, it's another game. Obviously, the whole world.
Starting point is 00:31:30 is talking about Cooper Flag. So excited to play against the number one draft pick. So congrats to him already. Excited. You got to love that, right? Congrats to him already. The sarcasm, just dripping off his lips right there. I love it.
Starting point is 00:31:50 We'll do one more. We'll take a break. Who's next? Okay, Chad. Chad. How are you, Chad? 859-280-2287. Yeah, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I'm out here in Chicago where you're at, and I just got a question, why didn't you interview for the head coaching job of Kentucky if you know everything? Well, I did. They didn't take my application. Yeah, I wouldn't be either. So, I mean, are you just like a hater? What's your deal? Like, you don't, I mean.
Starting point is 00:32:22 I'm a hater on you. I love you, K. Well, good. You like to hate on everything. Let me. I will tell you something interesting. And I'll leave you on to hear this. You know we must be doing a good job where you hate me and you still got to listen.
Starting point is 00:32:38 And not only do you have to listen. No, I love Kentucky. I appreciate the call, sir. You have to not only listen, but you have to call. If that's not rent free, then I don't know what it is. I do like being in your city, though. 859-280-2287. We're going to take a break.
Starting point is 00:32:58 is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. 859-280-2287. Text machine, 772-7-7-4-5-254. One person writes, Matt, I don't understand how Billy let that call her through. You should get mad at it. I tell Billy, though, don't screen the calls.
Starting point is 00:33:21 I want people to, I like to see whatever people will say. So, you know, I mean, and how's he going to know? He could go, are you calling to say Matt Jones sucks? And if he wasn't, then like he could just lie. So I don't know, I don't know what people sometimes say we screen calls, Billy, I don't even know how you would screen calls. People would just lie to you about what they want to talk about anyway. Yeah, you know, I make sure there's not too many frequent callers, but for what you want to talk about. Yeah, you try to spread it around.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah, I don't ask you that. Yes. One person writes, Matt, are you going to watch Baylor, Arkansas? Well, it's on right now. I just noticed, and I just turned it on. Baylor's up 16-11. Yeah, of course. I want to see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:34:05 You know, Baylor got destroyed by Gonzaga, destroyed. So if they beat Arkansas, that would be interesting to tell us about kind of where Arkansas is vis-a-vis when we play Gonzaga here in a couple weeks. What about the story about Auburn, by the way, getting in a fight on the plane? Oh, my God. Isn't that incredible? Amazing. In the audio from the, the, the, the, the, the,
Starting point is 00:34:28 plane and the pilots and the pilots and then like you know they did the two people that got in a fight they left them yeah there in albair so uh now i'm sitting here all right so i'm sitting here watching and again i'm not trying to be a hater but if you're watching this game you just saw the possession i just saw baler went to a two three zone and arkansas literally just passed it around the three point line and didn't move inside one time and didn't run one movement I think we've seen that. Does it look familiar? It looks very familiar.
Starting point is 00:35:01 They just stood outside the three. They're doing it again. They're just, all right, the ball still not inside the three point line. And then they just take another three and miss it again. Unbelievable, those last two possessions. Compare that to what happened today. All right, who's up next? Ron is next.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Ron, go ahead, Ron. Hey, Matt. Love your show. I can't really, you know, say much more than what everybody else has said. Man, this coach of this team has just got everybody really fired up, you know. And I think we got our swagger back. But I have one complaint. I don't think that I think that we need to get our swagger back as the cheerleading national championship that team that we had.
Starting point is 00:35:51 ever since that coach got fired, we just haven't had it. I'm all about bringing back the naked basket tosses in the liquor. Go cats. Well, you know, they haven't had as much success since, I guess, Jay Moe was gone. I will tell you, former cheerleaders, I wondered into one time, Billy,
Starting point is 00:36:16 a former cheerleader reunion party at the bar, a bar in Lexington. Okay. And you talk about a group of people that are not happy. Well, no, just not happy about the change in coaching. Oh. Oh, yeah. So, I mean, I admit, I don't follow it closely enough.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I don't even know who the coach is right now. But, you know, hopefully they can get back to winning titles. Who's up next? Martin. Martin, go ahead, Martin. Hey, Matt, first time, long time. Who are? I don't have much to say other than,
Starting point is 00:36:51 And this is the first time I got to go see the Cats play in person or even at all. I just haven't had a chance to. But Kurt Carissa might be my favorite player on the team. Like watching him just play is awesome. Like he can score, but man, I mean, 12 assists. That was awesome. And then also I just want to add. Don't you also just love his swagger too?
Starting point is 00:37:15 Like his whole demeanor, the lookaways. And what I like about the lookaways, is he actually threw one that got deflected. But I like that Mark Pope lets him do it. Because he's going to have one that ends up in a turnover. But I think the positives outweigh the negatives. And I like that Mark Pope lets him be himself. I think that's really cool.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Yeah, he was awesome to watch. And then I just want to add, Mark Pope is just probably the nicest guy in the world. My daughter had the opportunity to get her ball signed by him tonight. And, yeah, he couldn't be a nicer guy. But that's all I got, Matt. I appreciate it. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:37:53 When we started this postgame show, which I guess was like, well, I'm on Central time. So I guess it was 610 Central, so 710 Eastern. Mark had been done with his postgame comments with Tom Leach for 25 minutes. And I got a text message right as we were starting from someone who was still at the game that said he was still out on the court, Billy, signing people's signing autographs. Seems like he loves it. That was a good 20. to 25 minutes after he had finished his comments.
Starting point is 00:38:27 By the way, we had a caller a minute ago say that the 90s nostalgia they like. This will give me an example of that. This guy wrote me, I guess he buys up online, Billy, like old, like 90s UK gear. I didn't know there was that much of that stuff out there, but he's bought a lot. I think he can't, he asked me if he could come to the bar and sell it today and then like, you know, give us a percentage and I said, you know, sure, I had no idea if anyone would care. He brought like 120 pieces of memorabilia, or 100 or something. He sold like 75% of it, Billy, for like over, like something like $3,000 worth of 90s
Starting point is 00:39:10 memorabilia he sold today, just standing at our bar. That gives you a sense, Billy, of how much people want it. You know what I mean? Like that sort of, that sort of 90s nostalgia. about the program, you know, there were people like buying everything he had, and it's all kind of that sort of go back to the 90th. Yeah, right from the beginning when Pope came off that bus with all his former teammates. Like it's just it's the thing right now.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Yeah. So I kind of wondered if I was like, all right, man, if you want to do it, that's fine. No, you know, no skin off my back. And next thing you know, a dude sells a ton of it. So good for him. Who's next? I think it's Frankie. Frankie.
Starting point is 00:39:49 go ahead frankie it's frank given hey i appreciate you taking my call matt listen i didn't understand and why that one caller was giving you a lot of a lot of bad stuff but listen this team is amazing Kobe Bray and every one of them. Kurt Karisma, he is the man. Number 77 is one that we need to keep on that team at all times. What do you think about that? Well, I think he needs to play about like he's plays because I think he's a great change of pace. I think it's easy to overlook what Lamont Butler does when he's in because I don't think people, like it's, you have to focus on what a good defender is.
Starting point is 00:40:40 he is because he's an amazing defender. But Kerr's a sis and he gets the ball going. I think they give up, that's a great one-two punch. And I do love, and I appreciate the call. I don't know if he did it on purpose, but Kerr charisma, I like that name, Billy, as what we should call him. I don't know if he did that on purpose, but Kerr charisma, I like that. Who's up next?
Starting point is 00:41:08 Dan is next. Dan, go ahead. Hey, Matt, how are you? Good to talk to you. Thanks for taking my call. Long time listener, long, long time listener, first time caller. First thing I wanted to know, are you guys going to be at the bar Monday for your morning show? No, we will not actually because I'll still be here.
Starting point is 00:41:28 So we will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but we will not be there on Monday. Okay. We've been trying to get down there to see you. I'm sorry. I guess it's Veterans Day. So you probably all. Yeah, please do. We'll find another time.
Starting point is 00:41:44 You know, the thought of the fellow that sold all that UK memorabilia brings to mind maybe a good idea for a fundraising activity for a worthy charity. You guys could solicit UK memorabilia and hold a big auction down there. And who knows, raise a lot of money. I don't know if anybody will give it away, though. I feel like I felt I would be going to. glad to do that, but I feel like everybody wants, everybody's going to want it. Because, like, you know, it's a lot, especially the old stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Like, I'd forgotten how cool some of that old 90 stuff was until I saw his pictures of what he had. So those jackets, remember those slid jackets that came out with all the things? It was kind of cool. Yeah. Go ahead. Yep. We've got a 1996 ball that was signed by the whole team, including Petino.
Starting point is 00:42:35 We donate that in a heartbeat for the, for the right. That's very nice. Well, maybe we'll figure out something like that. that going to in the future. That's a good idea. Love the show. You guys mean a lot to folks here in the state and us. You've helped us get through some difficult times in our history, both inside sports and out. So keep up the good work, and we will get down there to see you guys. You'll know who we are when we come through. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, sir. And I hope I hope you will.
Starting point is 00:43:02 859-28027. Billy, it's 2115 Baylor, Arkansas, 0-4-9 from 3.4.4. point land. I've now watched five positions where Baylor was in two three zone and a half court said they've put it inside the three point line once of those five. And they did score on that one. They gave it to a do and he drove down and scored. So eight five nine two eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight What's up, Zach? Hey, man, heading back from the game on our way back to Harlan. I took my three-year-old son to the game.
Starting point is 00:43:42 He fell asleep on me, but we'll give it another go around our next try. He fell asleep at the game? Yeah, yeah. Of course, two and a half hour drive on the layup. He refused to take a nap. So he got his ice cream and it hit the spot. At least he got his ice cream, right? Yeah, that's all it matters.
Starting point is 00:44:02 We had a good time. Good. On our way up, I got to catch up on some of the podcast episodes. And I think you need to just drop everything else that's on your plate right now and create a Matt Jones Bachelor version for all of these older women that are coming out of the woodwork to offer to cook for you now. I'll hang up a little. You remember we did that on Hey, Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:44:24 It was a parody. I appreciate the call. But that was, did you ever see when we did that? No, no. I need to hear that. It was a, it was, it was, it was ridiculous. It was, we were trying to do a Bachelor parody, but that's a lot, that, that, that's a lot more undertaking than you would think.
Starting point is 00:44:44 First of all, just finding the women to do it and then like, just organizing it. And I don't even necessarily think it was very funny. Although we did have, it was great that there was one woman in there that was like 70, along with all these other women. And then, uh, Ryan Lemon's wife at the time was what I'm. It was just, it was absolutely ridiculous. But, you know, good times back when we were trying to do a television show. 859-280-2287.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Let's do one more and then we'll take a break. Who's next? Allison. Allison. How are you, Allison? I'm great, Matt. You kind of already touched a little bit on what I was going to mention just about Coach Pope staying after the game, just sign the balls.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And it's just really nice to have a coach that finally gets it and gets the fan base. and I'm sure there was not one single complaint about a dimple ball. That's all I got. Go cat. Yeah. No, I mean, he also did. He gave away tickets if you didn't hear the post game. He asked like a, I mean, you want to talk about, like, such an intellectual thing to do.
Starting point is 00:45:51 He asked a math question, and the person that got it right, he gave him UK tickets. Yeah, he was like, do you want to do my staff? Yeah, I mean, literally, he asked a math question and then gave tickets out. Like, I have to say, you know, I mean, I don't know if they drew up a coach just hoping I'd like them. I'm sure that's not the case, but I think that's what happened because, like, he's smart. He's kind of got a sense of humor. He's crazy optimistic. He's just a little bit older than I am.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And, like, he gets the fan base. So just win, and this is going to be like perfect. We'll take a break. 859-28027. We'll come back. Final Segment. segment it's the local toy dealers ks r post game welcome back it is the local toy dealers ksr post game show billy i they may end up winning the game because they got good players but watching
Starting point is 00:46:44 arkansas try to navigate the zone is unbelievable like if it wasn't for a do they might not score like a do is actually playing really well did you imagine doing a whole other year of this i like it's really unbelievable like they it's like they it's like they just just don't even know what to do. I mean, now they got great athletes and good players, so they might come back. I mean, but, but like they just, they get, every shot they get is a bad shot. And, you know, if they get out on a fast break, that's the way they have a chance to score. After this is over, Billy, I'm going out to watch the night games with, with Myron and my, my big ESPN boss. Like, he's here. So, so, so like he used to be like,
Starting point is 00:47:28 have a job that was two parts. One was like running the programming, but also being a producer, you know, like you. Yeah. And now he's the big boss, but this was his last producing assignment was doing this one. So he's here. And so like, I've got to go socialize. And so like, you know, I'm trying to get my mindset to just me and Myron and the big boss like out on the town.
Starting point is 00:47:49 So. Well, if you, you can't think of anything to talk about, you can throw my name in there. Maybe get me a job at he is. What would I say about you? I've got another talent if you're looking to, uh, Oh, you think you want to be on the air? Oh, yeah. Like, you want me to, like, get him to put you on the air?
Starting point is 00:48:07 Yeah, yeah. I think this would be a perfect time to bring that up, honestly. I think tonight's the night to do that? Like, the first time I've ever, like, spent a lot of time with him socially, you think this is the time to talk to him. Well, if there's a lull in the conversation, maybe you go with that. Just put that in your back. I got it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Okay. A doo, by the way, you know, say whatever else. I'm happy for a do. A doo's playing great. Good for you, Adieu. Who's next? Mark. Mark, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Mark. Hey, Matt. What's up? Did you realize, I didn't even realize until this week that college basketball allows numbers above five. Yeah, that just changed. I think that changed last year. So, yeah, it doesn't, that's a very new thing. Are you there?
Starting point is 00:49:02 Go ahead, Mark. Yeah, did you take the, did you take the Dan Ryan today? No, there was a wreck. I had to drive through Gary, Indiana, like through the town. But I got here. There was a wreck on the Dan Ryan. Well, every time I've gone on there, it's like there's people with their windows down all times of the year and they're changing lanes at like 85 miles an hour.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Pretty interesting drive. Well, I appreciate the call. I like it. I have to tell you this, and I'm not saying this to make fun. I really not because I think it's really sad. But if you've been to Chicago, there's like two parallel interiors. States, 80 and 90. Most people go on 80, but you can go 90.
Starting point is 00:49:46 And I missed the turn, Billy, for 90. And there was a wreck on 80. So, like, my map was like, you got to go through downtown Gary, Indiana. Uh-oh. Anyway, well, you know, that's everybody's reaction to Gary, Indiana, right? Yeah. At one point, Gary, Indiana had like 175,000 people, and now it's got like 60,000 people. I have to tell you the street that took me from 80 to 90 in downtown Gary, Indiana.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I'm not, it might have been the saddest street I've ever been on it in my life. Like, you can tell that was a city that once was like vibrant. And Billy, every building is empty. Every single building. There's not a person anywhere. It's, it was, I think it's Broadway. It was like, it was one of the saddest things I'd ever seen. Like, it wasn't, I didn't feel dangerous.
Starting point is 00:50:39 It was just it. Like imagine a street that's just completely empty and every building abandoned. That's what it was like. I'm not trying to be a bummer on a positive night, but it really was a while. Who's next? Kevin. Kevin, go ahead, Kevin. We'll do four more after this and call on a night.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Who's up? Go ahead, Kevin. Yes, I am a very long time, mostly a podcast listener going back to when you did your cable TV shows when I first started listening. First time caller. Who are? Well, what's up? So you go back to, do you go back to the Johnny the Freak Show or KSTV or Hey Kentucky?
Starting point is 00:51:17 Which one? I mean, hey Kentucky. I was about saying, if you went to Johnny the Freak, there's like four people that watch that show. So I would have been impressed. But go ahead. Yes. I work at UPS during the day sort. And so I've always had to listen on podcasts, but I've been pretty faithful.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Sir, I appreciate your show. I've learned so much from the way you think, the way you rationalize and logically break things down. I appreciate your show. I appreciate your team. Everyone is doing excellent. As far as UK basketball, yes, sir, yes, sir. As far as UK basketball, it looks like we're done watching a chess match
Starting point is 00:52:00 at the end of the game, every game. Now the coach Caliperi is at Arkansas. So I am so in love with the game. I think we are watching a chess match. I think we're watching now a coach think. Like, it's not, I always felt like before we were watching a chess match sometimes when we were playing checkers. I think we're watching a chess match and we're playing chess. And I actually think that's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:52:24 We'll see that more when we get. Because John Shire at Duke is very smart too. It'll be interesting to watch them go at each other. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So, thank you very much. say it all of that you do and yeah thank you sir for your show appreciate the call there you go yeah i'm uh uh it's 33 22 baler see i don't understand that baler's pressing why would you press
Starting point is 00:52:49 they've already shown they can't do anything in the half court why would you press anyway who's up next should i asked them not to play zone is what do you think okay now they're back to zone they're in one three one let's see if they real quick let's just see billy if they cross the three point line uh still outside the three point line still outside the three point line DJ Wagner drives in, throws it out, still outside the three-point line, and they turn it up. All right. I'm not kidding you. I just did that live.
Starting point is 00:53:14 That's exactly what happened. All right, who's next? Gershyn. Gerson. Go ahead, Gerson. What you say, Matt? I'm doing good. Has anybody told you you got a bad hookup on your...
Starting point is 00:53:31 Is it not good? Is it not good? No, it's not. that's cutting out about every two seconds or something like that. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, well, that might, that might be part of the problem. It's real quick. I mean, you can, you can still tell what, you know, what's being said, but I mean, there's a little break in about every two seconds. Thank you, Gersh. I'm all stand up. That'll make it better. Go ahead. Isn't this a breath of fresh air, though? Oh, without question. It's just, it's just a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Now, Gersh, you've been around a long time. We got a win or none of this will matter, but right now I don't know that you could ask for it being any better. I would agree, but I think it's going to get better. I really do. And this is the first time I've called back. I think you let me and ran on Caliparia last year. Well, Gersh and I appreciate it. Thank you for your call.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I mean, I agree. It is a breath of fresh air. And don't get me wrong, like when Cal got here, that was a breath of fresh air. but you need change. And this is a really different and for me, really exciting kind of change. Billy is, am I breaking up? You know, I don't want to say Gersh and doesn't know what he's talking about, but I think we're okay right now.
Starting point is 00:54:50 All right. Well, I'm standing up. I'm on like the 20th floor of a building, so that's probably part of it. But I'm standing up and standing right next to the window. So hopefully that'll help. Who's next? Doing good.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Doing good. How are you? I'm doing good, Matt. How about yourself? Doing great. Fantastic. Hey, I was going to call him something kind of boring. I was just going to talk about Halpatino, Calapari, and now Pope really perfect coaches at the perfect time, et cetera. But I was looking forward to kind of relaxing, listening to the postgame show, and then watching some football and basketball tonight.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But that one caller that called in really ticked me off. That was a complete cheap shot. If you don't have any more guts in using it, then call somebody over with the phone and say something completely really. like that. I mean, that's pretty pathetic. I hope you know that you, the staff, the show, you guys have done so much good for the entire state. You've really helped to unite the fan base. You keep the show moving. I don't know if he's ticked off because you had to, you know, cut him off one day, whatever his issue is. Please ignore that because I know for a fact that the majority of Bigley Nation out there sincerely appreciates not just what you do, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:05 the entire KSR crew does. I think we've got the, I've had the chance to travel all over the U.S. I've heard a bunch of different, you know, post-game shows and stuff like that for different fan bases. This is absolutely by far the best one of the United States. So thank you for all that you guys do. That's very kind of you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I appreciate the call. Look, it's very nice of you. And those of you writing the text machine saying stuff, it's also very nice. I appreciate it. You know, the. Unfortunately, like I'm kind of used to that. It's been like that with random people for the last few years. I think a lot of it, it's usually one of two things.
Starting point is 00:56:45 It's usually something having to do with the cow situation or people who, you know, it's the cow stoop's thing or it's the political part. But I also know that like the positives far outweigh that. So and the people that like it are infinitely. nicer and there's more of them. But I do appreciate it. Who's up next, Billy? Two more, Hunter.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Hunter, go ahead, Hunter. Hey, how you guys doing tonight? What's up? Well, two things. First thing, I don't know if you saw this, but BYU is actually doing an NIL experience where they rented out a cruise and they're putting a bunch of active coaches and former players. Do you think Kentucky should do something similar?
Starting point is 00:57:31 And if so, what players or coaches would you want on it? And then the next thing. That's a very cool idea, by the way. I didn't know that. That's a really cool idea, and I think would be very, very successful here. I mean, you know, many years ago, when we weren't nearly as popular as we are now, we did a KSR cruise and it was successful. I am sure if UK did it with former players and coaches, I think it would absolutely do massive amounts.
Starting point is 00:58:01 That's a really creative idea by BYU. Yeah. And then the next thing is looking forward to this Duke game. I'm really excited to watch it. What's your percentage chance we're going to win that game? I'm going to hang up. You guys have a great night. Go Cats. That's a great question. Well, first of all, I guess you would say, what will the spread be? You know, I think it's hard to know. Do you know that Louisville was the favorite today? What? Billy against Tennessee? Yeah. I bet Tennessee got plus 106 money line. I couldn't believe it. I thought Tennessee was going to be like a seven or eight point favorite, and then I was thinking about Betting Louisville saying, well, they'll keep it close.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I'm really, really surprised. So I don't know. I would say if I were to guess, I think Duke will be like a five, six point favorite. I would put Kentucky's chance of winning at 40%. If you had asked me at the beginning of the year, I would have said 20, but we're better than I thought. And even then, I feel being a little conservative because I just think we're pretty good. And they're young.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Now, you got to prepare yourself for something. I'm going to go ahead and prepare everybody. Because that game has always been a showcase for us in the way ESPN covers it. We always play at 930. I can't even remember Billy us ever playing the first game. Yeah, what's the deal? No, that's ridiculous. I think we did like, one.
Starting point is 00:59:30 I think maybe the year Maxie went off. We played the early game. But in general, not actually we played the late game that too. I think we're always the late game. But that broadcast is going to be centered around Duke because of Cooper Flagg. Understandably, Duke ESPN is going to center their college basketball coverage this year around Cooper Flag. The way they did Zion, the way they did 2015 with us, 2012 with Anthony Davis. So it's going to be interesting because everything's going to be about that.
Starting point is 00:59:59 and then you're going to have us. And it's going to be a completely different process than it usually is. And I'm excited to watch it. I'll be honest with you. Who's up next? Rooney. Rooney. Go ahead, Rooney.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Hey, Matt. I hate to be the last call in the eye. This is going to be probably not that great. So I started my day at U Club playing golf. And my plan was to come home watch UK game. I could not get logged into my SEC Plus account. So I listened to it on the radio and bet on college football by punning. But my point is, it's so weird right now to watch Cal in a red coat in all of our players in red uniforms.
Starting point is 01:00:51 And I bet against them and I hope they lose. But it's just, it's like it's so weird just to see it. It is weird. You're exactly right. It is weird. It's completely weird. And it's, you know, it's exactly, it's weird. And like I'm watching them and I'm watching us. Like they're now coming back.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Yeah. They've cut it to two. They've cut it to two by pressing and like by athleticism with steals. Like it's like watching us the last few years. You're exactly right. I appreciate the call. It is very weird watching them. But you know what?
Starting point is 01:01:28 It's not weird. is watching a Kentucky team that's fun, that's exciting, that loves the uniform, a coach that loves this place, and that I'm really hoping has an awesome season, and I think can have an awesome season. Thank you all very much for sticking with us. Tomorrow, if you're in Chicago and you're not that guy, Billy, that was in Chicago, the coach to Soldier Field.

We got stuff to give away.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Draft Kings is doing something special for people who are there. So I know it's late, but I promise you it's going to be fun because I think that Duke game is really one of those. Like, here we go. UK basketball's back moments. Thanks to Billy for hanging with us.
