And we are here in Bowling Green, where we stopped at the men to watch the game and saw the cats get a five-point victory that was never, I mean, it was never, you know, not in question. They were able to win, but never had a lead bigger than 11 and came down at one point, down to five at the end, but the cats end up winning 82, 7. All on the heels of a great performance by Brandon Garrison. Maybe Brandon Garrison's best game at Kentucky. 18 points basically hit two threes that turned the game from a one-point game

into a seven-point lead. I said on the pregame show this morning that Garrison, if he got in double digits, I would ride a mechanical bull at Kid Rocks. Never thinking that would be possible. Not only did he do it, he scored. 18 Ryan Lundman and was the key to today's victory. Saddle up, Matthew. B.G. Garrison is the hero. We're always going to remember this is the Brandon Garrison game. He was fantastic.

The announcers were bragging on him every trip down the floor. But if you heard that wind gust siren, it went off about an hour ago in Kentucky. It was everybody's exhaling relief. They got the first one. Well, they did, and it wasn't certain. I mean, at one point, LSU took the lead in the second half. Yeah. And it was not certain at all.

As a matter of fact, LSU, I thought, played very, very well. Kentucky just didn't quite have the energy of LSU. And then the one kid on LSU could not miss for about 30 minutes of the game. He carried him. He just wore us out. I mean, they had Chandler on him, wore him out. Aberdeen, he kind of was taken. Then they did put O-Way on him towards the end,

and I thought O'We did a better job than the other guys, but he was tough to stop. Yeah, they switched around. And finally, always the guy that finally slowed him down a little. bit late in the second half. I remember what he ended up with, like 27 points or something? He was eating us alive. But you really do have to give Brandon Garrison a lot of the credit. I thought the game, I mean, it turned around. I mean, it was a one-point game back and forth, back and forth. And then when he hit those two threes, not only, I think it energized the team. It didn't just give us a seven-point lead. All of a sudden, the defense was a lot more intense. I mean,

really, if you go back and look, the defensive possessions from like the, I don't know when he hit those threes. There were like seven minutes to go or whatever. From there until about the three minute mark, we were probably the best defensive possessions we had in the game. And I think as crazy as it is, Brandon Garrison out there hitting threes and then tapping his shoulder kind of got everybody on level. I think you wanted to send you a message. He took it personal, what you said on the pregame show. Well, I mean, come on. It's crazy. Like, it's crazy that that was the difference in the game. Well, he was a great three-point shooter all season. He only made two. threes all season, and he made two today. That's the kind of thing that if it didn't happen to us

would drive us inside. Like if you're an LSU fan, there's probably six that watched the game. But if you are, that would drive you absolutely nuts. So in about a minute's time, he missed a wide open slam dunk. That would have given him double digits. He's going to get him double digits, and then he came down hit back-to-back three-pointers. I mean, that is Brandon Garrison to a core right there. But you know, he came out immediately. Got a couple quick baskets.

kind of guy's confidence. And he made three back to the basket hook shots during the game, which is a shot he's been able to get all year, but just not consistently make. He just could not consistently make that shot all year. And then he was able to do it today, and I actually think that made a big difference. O way obviously was excellent. He had a little stretch that wasn't good, where he missed a couple open jumpers, missed a free throw. But besides that, I thought he was really good throughout the game.

Got some good minutes from Aberdeen here and there. You know, but besides that, they had to grind it out. And I can't believe Brandon Garrison's a difference, but he is. And now the cats move on to play Missouri tomorrow. There are a couple different points of the game where different guys did show up. You mentioned already, you know, what Aberdeen. Well, Yelovich started. Exactly.

At the beginning, the problem was he was getting torched on defense. He and Chandler just got torched on defense. Chandler really struggled the entire game. And Yovitch did, too. but Yovits did score seven points early. Cam Williams got some minutes. He came in, hit a three. Another one, though, that struggled on defense.

I mean, he made the three, but I don't. It's just he's going to have a hard time defensively, probably, until he gets back to it. I thought Diabate played pretty good defense. But, you know, I mean, this team, if you watch Kentucky this year, it's kind of like Oway and Aberdeen are going to, at least in the SEC play. O'A and Aberdeen are going to play well. They're going to get there.

So the question is, can you have a third guy? And sometimes it's Chandler, sometimes it's being Diabate, and then tonight it was Brandon Garrison, was the third guy. Well, if you listen to John Crispin on the broadcast, the play-by-play guy, they acted like Brandon Garrison was first team all-American, because they kept saying when he went out and goes, you've got to bring him back in. You've got to put him on the floor.

I always forget about the Crispin Brothers. And then he'll just show up once every two years and do one of our games. And I'm like, oh, yeah, the Crispin Brothers, Penn State. That's right. Bees a rep. So, you know, they just, they needed to just win it. They did. Decent crowd there.

Now, I think a lot of Kentucky fans are making their way today and tonight. And tomorrow, is it Tennessee that plays the winner of this game or Vandy? Vandy. Vandy's in our top bracket with Florida. Well, so is Tennessee, though. Who got the buy? Ah, I don't know. Vandy has the buy.

So, Tennessee. So tomorrow, I actually think that's going to be a crowded gym. because you're going to have Kentucky and Tennessee both playing. I don't think Missouri will have a lot of people. If Auburn wins, they might have a lot of people. If Auburn wins, they might be playing Tennessee tomorrow for the tournament. That's true. To have a shot to make the tournament.

So I actually think tomorrow's day atmosphere could be quite an atmosphere, depending on what happens. I think that would be a good ticket if you got Kentucky. Yeah, if Auburn loses today, they're out. But if they win today and then were to beat Tennessee, I think they would have a chance then to make the tournament. I got to admit, I was a little pleasantly surprised of all the blue that was in there today. They said the whole first level and second level was full of nothing but blue.

Upper level was some empty spots, but overall, though Kentucky kind of took over as they should. I just kind of surprised it happened on a Wednesday at 1230. So I kind of expected this game to be tight and back and forth. do you feel confident after this game that this is a team that can make some kind of run at least win tomorrow i'm confident they can win tomorrow because we owe Missouri man they came in there and punctus on our home floor beat us like it ended up being five points we owe them man we and dennis gakes for whatever reason seems to have kentucky's number we owe them so i think they go look themselves in the mirror tonight come out man up be the wounded dog coming into the

game tomorrow matt we're going to get them sometimes i think games can games like this can really come down to a couple of shots. I think the Garrison threes obviously are the most important. But I would also say, when we were up five with like two minutes and 40 seconds left and we had not scored on a number of possessions,

O'A hitting that long two. I think that was a huge shot because it got it to seven. I think psychologically there's a big difference between a two possession game and a three possession game and that shot takes it there. So

Garrison's threes were the biggest, but I think that O-Way shot at the end was really big as well. In the second half, Kentucky had three offensive threats in O-A, Aberdeen, and Brandon Garrison. Colin Chandler's got to get involved. He's got to find a way to get. This is three straight games he's not played well. And he had a three that would have ended the game. He had a wide-open corner three that he missed. I mean, there was a sequence before that O-Way make that I thought could haunest.

You had Chandler miss a wide-open three. Diabate shot, the worst shot in the history of Oregon. basketball, a wide open three that he airballed three and a half feet short. There may have never been a worse shot than that, but we got the ball back and then Chandler threw the worst lob in the history of basketball. And those three plays, I thought now if we lose, these are going to be the plays, but then O'A came and made the shot the next time down. You had kind of walked away for a second.

I walked away because I was too nervous. I was pacing through this mint. I was about to go play 50-sets slot. And then you holler at Mario. Did Diabate just airball at that shot by Diabate? I know we won. But that shot by Diabate could have haunted us. I mean, my mother is listening.

My mother could have gotten it closer than him. And he was wide open. Wide open. I guess he figured if Brandon can knock down a couple. That's what it was. He was like, I'm not letting B.G. take all this shot. I got to get mine. So, you know, it's not a secret that Gander, Gerson frustrates fans,

frustrates me a lot. Is this a game that you think kind of redeems him in some ways in the fans' eyes? I mean, this is a game we won because of him. I honestly feel like this is the Brandon Garrison. We thought we were going to get the whole season. I thought that he made a big jump. Coach Pope kept talking about how much he was in and improved. I thought that's how Brandon Garris would play all year.

But he's really only had like, what, this is his second game where he's played? But this is the only game I can remember of his career that I would say we won because of him. True. I can't think of another game we won because. cause of him. And you get in the postseason, when you get a game that for whatever reason, like I remember when we lost to North Carolina in 2017, if we had won, that was the Isaac Humphrey's game. You remember people forget how well he played in that North Carolina game. We lost, but he played so well and it just kind of fell to history. This is, again, it's a Wednesday

of the SEC tournament, not the biggest game in the world, but this is the Brandon Garrison. I'll say this. Brandon's other great game was at Rupp Arena? and his son was there. Guess who was there today in the crowd? His son was there again today. So can we force that baby to come to games? Yes. Front row seats, buy him a ticket,

take him to every game the rest of the season. Let me tell you who's annoying when Brandon Garrison's playing well. Mario. Yes, he is. He talks, Mario, because not only does he cheer for him, he starts going, cook B.G. Here we go. Shoot.

Like, he's playing to his worst instincts. He wants him to shoot even more than he does. He also threw a really good pass. He did. We forgot about that. That was the really good bounce pass. I think we missed the layup, but it was like he threw a really good pass during that stretch too. And we needed him because, you know, Malachi got in foul trouble so early.

He didn't play hardly at all in the first half, played very little into the same. Malachi struggled today. I mean, not just the foul trouble, but he was getting pushed around. I mean, the big guy for LSU was going through him, and there wasn't a whole lot he really could seem to do. I know there's one point that I think Yelovich was playing the five. He had both Brandon and Malachi out, so Yovitch is playing the five a little bit. Well, this is a big win. It is.

I mean, it doesn't probably doesn't change Kentucky seed. I think it probably makes it to where now I don't think they'll drop below a seven no matter what. Because Missouri is a, you know, Missouri is a six, seven, eight-seated team. Stop. A six-seven-eight-seated team anyway. So I think if you lost to them, I think this probably locks. Kentucky in as a seven and then I think if you were to win tomorrow you got a chance to get to a six i like Kentucky's chances tomorrow i know we're writing on the hills of this win today but i just feel

like we're better than missouri we owe them we need to win this game we are better than miss but we're better than lSU too yeah and let me say lSU i'm not look they're three and they're better than a three and fifteen SEC team i don't think they're good like south carolina and old miss i think are bad. I think don't think they're bad. I think, I don't know why I haven't watched all their games. I don't know why they're 3 and 15. They lost a lot of close games, I think, early. Yeah, they should be better than that. Does the coach, their goal get fired? Because they actually have some, yeah, they're going to, he's going to get fired. Yeah. And Will, you know, they're going to try to get Will Wade, but he'll be, is he going to be the only SEC coach fired? I think he will.

Because he said Lamont Ferris, South Carolina was bringing him back, right? Yeah, Lamont Paris. Paris. Yeah. So I think he'll be probably the only one, the only new coach let go. 859-280-2287. We are here at the Mint and Bowling Green. Got some good fellas here. You all enjoying yourselves.

Got Tall. Hello to Tall with his Snoopy UK shirt. I asked him, did UK officially license that shirt? And he said, no, it was bought from China. So, pre-tariffs. And Mario is here, and we're eating some nachos, and we'll take your calls. 859-2-80-2-807. This is the local Toyota dealers, KSR, post-game show.

Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. A couple things here. First of all, my mom, look at this. She's found emojis on the phone. And she now only texts me in emojis. I love it. Love it.

Happy face, cross-fingers, party, basketball. I mean, look at this. It all makes sense. You teach my mom emojis. That's all I'm getting. And second, we have, we do have one thing in my friend group. These people aren't on the air, but you've heard me talk about them. A friend the Turkey Hunter, been part of KSR since the beginning.

Yes. Hubby, who started KSR with me. Yes. Turkey Hunter was supposed to bring Hubby to the SEC tournament. Forgotting. No. Left without him. That can't be a real story.

That we're all best friend. Left him. Left him in Lexington. How do you forget? When did you realize he had left him? Your friend to the SEC tournament. Did he not realize until he pulled in? Like, we're okay, hubby, we're here.

No. Hubby texting this morning said, what time are we leaving? And he goes, I'm already in Hopkinsville. How are you going to forget? Like, there ain't that many of us. So. How's Hubby going to get down here? Well, you ended up getting in a car with somebody else.

But thank goodness, I didn't forget tall, for instance. He's here. I don't understand how you forget somebody to go to the SEC tournament. happens to the best of us sometimes. All right, let's take the calls. 859-280-2-8.7. Are you guys sitting here just so you know you won't be able to hear the calls? I'm sorry, but who's up first? Devin. Devin. Go ahead, Devin. Hey, Matt, how are you, sir?

Doing good. Good win for the cats today. A couple of quick questions. Number one, don't you think we could pick up the pace on office a little bit? We essentially run a half-court offense. How can we don't do more fast break? We got the horses with Chandler. I think when we pick up the pace, we're a lot better. I mean, you know, in the half court, if you think about it, half court, we have two options to score. O.A. or Aberdeen going to the basket or rolling Chandler off to get a three, but teams are taking that away. So you're basically O'A and Aberdeen rolling to have a basket or hoping that you get an offensive rebound with Diabate. So I'm with you.

Pace. In transition, OA might be one of the best players in the country, so you've got to get him in transition, try to more. And second question, will Brandon Garrison now get selected ahead of Jaden Quaiton's in the draft? I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, I appreciate the call. I would love to. We need to figure out if we can have a, well, Mario's walked way.

We need to figure out if we can have a double down of if Garrison does it again. What would I do? Get on an actual horse? I got to admit, I don't know if I'm more excited about Kentucky winning today or the fact of seeing you on a mechanical bull. Yeah. I was going to say he had to score double digits and win, but we went back and listened to the tape. I didn't say him win.

But they want. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Do you want him shooting more threes? I mean, like, he's now, he was two for 14 coming in. He was two for three today, so now he's four for 17 on the year. Still 22%.

No. He played 100 and whatever 40-something minutes and two, then it gets two in 40-second. Thank you, Steph Curry? No. Go back. Does he earned at least one the next game? Yes.

One attempt. He likes the heat check. He and Diabate both love the heat checks, don't they? Diabate. Aberdeen, too, man. All three of them, if they make a shot, the next time they get it, they want to put it right back up. I would love to see the stats after Aberdeen hits a shot,

what's percentage. He takes an attempt. Next trip down the floor. It's like every single time. He loves it. But I can't complain. I don't think Aberdeen was great today, but in general, like when he gets,

fouled at the end, I trust he's going to make it. Like, I love O'A, but when he gets fouled at the end, I don't trust he's going to make it. I trust Aberdeen is going to make free throws at the end of games. And again, only five turnovers as a team. That's amazing. Five turnovers is a team. With a backup point guard, it's not even really a point guard. What about O'A played 39 minutes?

Does that confirm what we've all said? And did he seem fatigued to you? Did he play okay the whole game? I think he maybe seemed a little fatigued at the end. when he was missing those open shot. But at the same time, as I saw somebody say on Twitter, the question is not whether or not O.A. is better 100% or 80%. He's, of course, better 100%.

The question is, is OA at 80% better than Jasper and Noah? That's the question. And the answer is yes. So I understand his level of play is going to drop, but his 80%, or even Aberdeen's 80%, is better than our other options. Yeah, you got to have him on the floor. So that's why you got to have him on.

And he did that today. Aberdeen, I mean, O'We played 39 and Aberdeen played 37. O'A, over 20 points again. I mean, it's like every time you just count on him, he's going to get 20 to 25 points every game. Who's next? Fuzzy. Fuzzy. Go ahead, Fuzzy.

Louisville's losing, by the way, by five right now to SMU. Go ahead. You're good. So Denzel Aberdeen, all season long, that guy has been the most consistent, straight-faced player I've ever seen. Like he's never sweating, gets up to the free-air line, doesn't look anxious. What in the world happened the first time he ever shows excitement? He wags his tongue and gets a technical. Has anyone ever heard of anything like that?

That is a good point. Aberdeen gets that technical, which wasn't great timing. But he never really does that. It's like the first time he kind of does something like that. Because, you know, O.A. and Garrison and Diabate, they're always talking trash. I don't see Aberdeen do it a lot. Then the one time he does it, technical. Apparently off the court, he's like just a quiet kid.

Like he doesn't even talk. He's so quiet. So that is his first emotion he showed all season. Do you think fans even know that we have like a first couple of Kentucky basketball? Probably not. He probably don't know. He's like he dates and I think seriously Claire Estrade. Yeah.

So we have a first couple of UK basketball. They're both what, six four? Both of them. Can we go ahead and sign their kid? Amen. If they stay together for the future. Get that NIA. deal in place. Speaking of a kid, like, Bam, you know, Bam, dates what? Asia, or is married to Asia Wilson. Can you imagine their kid?

I mean, good. That'd be like the best best ball player ever. Who's next? Jake is next. Jake, go ahead, Jake. Hey, how you doing? What's up? I just had a question and a statement. So I had to work today. This was the first game I missed all year. And I was listening to the game. And I was listening to the game, and I go into people's houses for my work. And during the last, like, six or seven minutes, I went to this guy's house. And he was watching the game. And he let me sit on his couch and watch the whole game with him.

I love it. I love it. Do you mind me asking what you do? Yeah, I'm a measure tech for a window company. I measure for windows. Okay. So this is great. So you work for a window company, and you had to work during the game,

and one of your customers just let you sit and watch the end of the game with him. I love that. That's a very Kentucky basketball story, yeah. Yes, I walked in, he was watching it, and I said I was listening to it, and he said, have a seat, watch it with me. So we were both screaming at the TV and stuff. It was pretty funny. That's awesome.

I love it. And then my question, it's kind of a random question, but I'm getting married here soon, and I was just wondering if I sent you all an invite, would anybody show up? Probably not, but we would. Well, we used to. We don't have someone doing this anymore, but since you called, I'll do it. We will send like a little present. Sounds good.

I will send you all an invite for sure. I appreciate it. Appreciate the call. Although you never know rhyme would show up. We talked about just randomly crashing some wedding one time. Yeah, we used to get a bunch of them. And Maria, when she worked for us, she would send out a little thank you. Little thank you is in T-shirts, but she now high up with on three.

So we don't, she's not sending in the business, is sending out T-shirts anymore. How is that so UK, the guy. I like that, though. I'd like that. I mean, that's really what, to be honest with you, that's what's great about sports, and specifically UK basketball. You walk in a guy's house, you share that thing, and you sit and watch it, that's great. In a world where we're always so divided, that's really, that's nice.

Who's next? Alex. Alex. Alex. Alex. This reminds me of like if Hulk Hogan opened up WrestleMania as the opening match, because we're the main event, just because you're not the last game or the last match, doesn't mean you're not the main attraction, right?

But we can be the last game. We could be probably the first team in the history of... But we weren't today, though. We weren't today. We were the opening game and still were the main event. Come on. Work with me here. And before I go, Ryan, can you say the word slurp?

Slurp. Can you say the word slurp? I appreciate the call. That's plenty. I can't listen to Ryan say slurp. It would be interesting. We might be the first team in the history of a major. conference tournament to be the first game and the last game if we were to go to the finals

five for five we got one down now are we four for four starts tomorrow yeah well we got the big ones game three yes you know that that would that's the one that'll be hard but tomorrow I do think tomorrow would could could lock in I think we might be locked in as a seven anyway but tomorrow would certainly lock it in and maybe give you a chance at a six jump up at a six and they get the win. Yeah. And I think that six is huge. Because I do think there's a huge gap between the twos and the threes.

And you would have a shot against most of those three. Yeah, the way you laid it out this morning on the pregame show, it's amazing. The difference between the six. Because we're not going to get Alabama. So the other, if we're a six, we're probably going to be paired with like Iowa State or Nebraska. If you look at where the games are, that could be in St. Louis, which is a place people could drive to. Yes. You know, you play a, you play Nebraska.

and St. Louis? I like Kentucky's chances in there. Kentucky's had great success in the city of St. Louis. Yeah. Who's next? Todd. Todd. Go ahead, Todd. Hello, Matt. What's up? Watching the game today in the crowd there, I was thinking to myself, you know, I bet this is the first time in a long time that there's been that many people at the first game of the SEC.

Well, there was, maybe at the first one. They've had a couple years where they let in people for free in the first session at night, and it would be full. But you may be right for the day. There hasn't been a Wednesday day session. This is only the second year. But if they had, I'm sure it probably is. Yeah.

No, I was tickled with the win today. I always tickled when we win. But you know what worries me is our inside defense, it seems like we live. players come in and just lay it in. It's like we do. Rim protection. You know, it's like we let them move our big guys around. You know, they just keep backing into us instead of us trying to man up.

We just let them push us around, you know. We need to start being a little bit tougher at that. Well, I mean, I think that's why, and I appreciate the call, I think that's why you saw so much Garrison today is he was so much, Even though he can frustrate me down low, too. He's tougher, more physical than Moreno, who really struggled to guard today. And our help defense was bad all day.

Guys would get a step on our guards, and we wouldn't rotate over, and they just end up right at the rim. Yeah, you mentioned earlier, Malachi was kind of getting, before he got in foul trouble, was kind of getting shoved around a little bit. You need Momu-Diabate and Brandon Garrison out there to show some muscle in some capacity to help the front court.

That's right. 8-9-2-80-20. 2287. Auburn has just tied it up against Mississippi State with 17 minutes to go, and Louisville is down three to SMU. We will keep you track of those games. And seeing a lot of people on their drive home, I assume people are going to head down to Nashville. Tickets. We'll see what tickets are on the thing here. Tickets for tomorrow morning? Yeah, because, I mean, I bet they're, I bet they're reasonable tomorrow.

Jump on them now if you got a chance. Yeah. We will take a break and be right back. It's a local toy dealers, KS. Postgame show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. Joe Tipton of On Three Sports is reporting that former BYUU staffer Keegan Brown is being targeted for a front office role with UK basketball. He worked with Pope at BYU. I think he has worked with the Milwaukee Bucks. He did not come to Kentucky. I don't think. There are some people who say he might have had a little bit of a role in helping at first pick some of those players, but he didn't

in that first year, but then he didn't come. It's interesting, if you go to his Twitter account, he has a lot of tweets about how you should build teams in the portal era. So I'm sure somebody probably on KSR will compile those, and you might get a sense. I don't know if he's going to be the GM. I don't think that's necessarily the title they're going to use, but you might get a sense of what he's going to be like based on all the things he writes, it seems like he says you don't need five stars, you need guys, he seems like another

analytic person, which, you know. Well, just, I've never heard of this guy, but just what you just said, he does sound kind of GM-ish. Yeah, I mean, he has a lot of tweets about, over the last two years where he has just commented from afar on how you should build teams. That's very interesting.

So I'm sure, like I said, at some point somebody will probably compile those into a post, but I I've had a couple of them sent to me today. Brandon Garrison has scored 15 plus points five times in his UK career twice. Two of them are against LSU. Well. So maybe he likes that one.

And he seems to play really well against Oklahoma. The other two teams are Oklahoma and South Carolina. If he brings that energy and that attitude to gain, it just makes Kentucky totally a different basketball team. One person writes, Matt, I think you should lay off Ryan. The creepier he is, the better it is for the show. I don't agree with that. Mario's shaking his head.

You're just a troublemaker. You're the one that wants Brandon Garrison to shoot every time. Although tonight, listen, I can't say anything. He was great. He was our best three-point shooter tonight. What are you talking about? Two-by-three-three-three-three-eight-seven? Who's next?

I would agree with that sentiment. Which one? Which one? That we should let Ryan be? No, stop. You all, this is, there are women that listen to this show. And I hear, you know. But there are a couple that took up for you.

Who's next? Dave is next. Dave, go ahead, Dave. Hey, Matt, I was hoping to get to talk to you before the NCAA tournament. And my wife and I are real avid Kentucky fans. And we have a dilemma. We have, we have, we had something going in the NCAA last year when Kentucky won two games. I get real nervous like you.

And I have to walk away sometimes. And I would wear, put on my hood. and I'd go over into the kitchen about 25 feet from the TV and I would watch from the kitchen where I couldn't really see all the calls real clearly and it keeps me from getting too angry. I understand.

She'd give me feedback from the couch and tell me what was going on. That's interesting. But then after two wins, people wanted to stay nowhere Kentucky fans. They want to start watching the games with it and they're kind of nervous. Yeah, you don't let people.

watch. If you're somebody that watches games by yourself, then you don't watch them with other people. I don't ever watch. I don't watch games with other people. I mean, I did today, but in general, I'm by myself. I can't watch them with other people. Oh, it was miserable. I tried to sit on the couch. I didn't want to be a jerk. They were having conversations. You can't ignore them. So I just want to, you've already told me what I wanted to know. Yeah, I can't do it. I mean, I appreciate the people who like having so. social, but especially in the postseason. The postseason is too important to be social.

I appreciate the call. Now, the people who can go to, like, KS. Bar or Tin Roof and watch them with people, more power to you. Because I do think it's fun to be in a collective environment, but I personally can't do it. I mean, I couldn't even sit with these guys. I was walking around the slot machines during the end of the game. I've been with you now postseason for 11, 12 years, and it just, when it gets time for the game, you just walk away.

In 2010, when we played in Syracuse and we played against West Virginia and Cornell, I left the arena and walked outside in a snowstorm in Syracuse. It was freezing because I just couldn't take it. And I could feel early we were losing that West Virginia game. I could just tell. You could just tell. And I was like, I don't want to be in here. And I came back and went in the locker room after the game and watched all those guys crying.

And that's the last team I really felt close to. And that still makes me. I can still see DeMarcus Cousins bawling Ramon Harris. And I hated it. You ended up in a fitness room in a hotel. That was for the Wichita State. Yeah. I watched it on a treadmill.

We were up in Milwaukee and you had to go to some strange hotel. What even our hotel? That was last year. Last year I watched Kentucky, Illinois in a hotel banquet lobby. That's right, yeah. So we just know that about you. There's nothing wrong with you. We know that's part of your fandom.

It's just kind of what I do. Yeah, he's got accepted. Who's next? Andrew. Andrew, go ahead, Andrew. The thing is, all these games, I can remember. Like, I sat in my car in 2014 in Dallas in the parking lot when we beat Wisconsin on the three at the buzzer. Yeah.

So, like, I remember where I am. I just am never in the arena. Go ahead. Okay, two things. When the cats have done poorly this year in certain games, Coach Pope has gotten criticized for his, you know, his substitution procedure, I guess, I think, to say it. what I wanted to say one other thing about Colin Chandler before I got off,

but what do you think he's done to change? Well, I mean, look at today. So look at today. Here's what I would say he's changed. So if I look at the minutes today, O.A. played 39 minutes. Aberdeen played 37 minutes. So he didn't make crazy subs. Those guys played.

I would also notice there were 40 seconds where O'A and A. Aberdeen were both not on the court at the same time. He kept one of them, even in their minute amount of time out, he kept them both, at least one of them on the court the entire game except 40 seconds. Also, he went Garrison Diabate 26-21, Yellovich-Moreno 14-12. Ryan, there's going to be games where that's flipped, right? And the 26-21 is Yelovich Moreno and the 14-12. So I actually thought he handled the substitution pattern very well. today, actually. And he called time out. Let me give him credit for that, too.

He called time out, I thought the perfect time. They'd cut it from 11 to 7, and he called a timeout right there rather than letting it get to 4 or something like that. So I thought he was good on all that. Ellis you also hit some crazy good shots today, especially in the first half. I mean, they hit some

first half. We should have been up probably 10. They hit some really good shots, but go ahead. Yeah, the other thing, I get off, Colin Chandler, I know that he can be a consistently good three-point maker. Do you think his production has just dropped off the last couple of games because he's just gotten a little bit cold? No, I think teams are keying on him.

Teams are clearly keying on him. Like, if you go look, I appreciate the call. If you look at how teams played Kentucky earlier in the year, they kind of guarded Chandler the same way they did O'Way and Aberdeen. Not now. They're taking the view of we're not letting him get open looks. And he's struggling to find other ways to score. Because the Vanderbilt game, he was so hot, next game, Texas A&M took him out.

The next game, Florida, took him out. He can't beat people off the dribble. And so it's making it very hard for him to get shots. And then tonight he had two wide open threes. one in the first half and one in the second half in the corner and he just missed him so he said i would like to see him get open more get a way to get the ball in his hand to get the shot more he kind of but he can't consistently beat guys off the dribble he can he can't he can sort of juke them and then pull up and shoot but he cannot beat them to the basket and they're getting to the point now they're

saying all right beat me at the basket and he just can't do it they did that well you're right once he beat his man pulled up in the lane he's good at that he's good at taking a little step and then quickly elevating. He can do that. But if you'll watch now, they are, they're not giving him a step. And he just can't. Whereas like if you do that to O.A., he'll take you to the rim. Yeah.

You can't, you can't, with Chandler, it doesn't work. Yeah, in football, you talk about the receiver, try to get some space. He's got to find a way to get some space. He just, he just can't. And so that, but that's why you're seeing Aberdeen get more looks. Yeah. And that's why you saw, you know, Diabate wide open in the corner during that shot. Who's next?

Let's give our Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney moneymaker of the game next, Matt. Injured, get small town compassion with big city results. When you call the Rocker at 270321-4429, and you guys called it. It was the Brandon Garrison game. 17 points, 7 of 9 from the field, had five rebounds, two assists, two blocks, two steals, and 26 minutes. He was the Kentucky Wildcats plus minus champ at plus 11. He is our Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney moneymaker of the game. That's two games in a row, by the way.

Garrison's been the plus-minus champ. He was against Florida as well. Never saw that coming. Yeah. But didn't remind ourselves, he did miss a wide-open dunk underneath the back. Yeah, but he's 6.11. He's not 18 points. You got to give him a break.

This trip, our trip to the SEC tournament, sponsored by Clayton and Kroom and Burtt Tavern-Burban, I'm going to tell you about Clayton and Kroom, they have leather products that are amazing. You know that, don't you? I brought my Clayton and Kroom belt with me this trip. That's right. They have a new store in Nashville, 12 South in Nashville, bags, belts, wallets. They also have a custom belt bar. You can go choose the strap you want, the buckle, the style, the stitching, and the hardware.

They got one in Louisville or Clayton &Crum.com. I have a ton of Clayton &Croof gear, and now they have a belt bar. You bought us all Clayton and Crum bags one year for Christmas. That's exactly right. Let's do one more, and we'll take a break. Who's next, Billy? David. David, go ahead, David. So it's funny you guys were just talking about the substitution pattern, because that's what I was going to ask you about.

So one of the things I feel like doesn't get enough talk is that Pope is not afraid to check a guy in and then pull him right away. He did that with Jasper. He did that with Jasper tonight. Yes. So Jasper checks in, calls his own number twice. Takes him out. He absolutely not sit down. But that's the only reason why O.A. and average, Dean were only out for 40 seconds because he pulled Jasper back out. But he was prepared, I think, to sit them together for longer. And then for Yella, it's like, let this guy play more than the first five minutes of the game. That's crazy. That's my only, my only substitution frustration

with Mark was he, Yelovich scores seven points in a row and he takes him out. And then he didn't put him back in until the last four minutes of the first half. But to be fair, Garrison was playing well. And I think that's in part why he did that. Yeah, let Yelovich cook at that point a little bit, don't you? But he also, Yelovich gets killed on defense. Yelovich and Chandler were just getting just destroyed on defense tonight. But go ahead. I was just going to, thank you guys.

I appreciate it. I was just going to say, we didn't invite Mark Pope to our wedding. He did not attend, unfortunately. Well, it's too bad. The Hail Mary wedding advice. Thanks, guys. Well, I appreciate it. Yeah.

It's tough night for Chandler. But the thing is, Chandler has to play regardless. Yeah. Because who are you going to put in? Maybe now you can get Cam Williams a few more minutes as you go, but he's going to have to play. He has to play through him not playing well. They don't really have a choice.

Just having him out there, that threat of him out there opens up the defense a little bit for Aberdeen and O. You think we're done now with Cam seeing Noah the rest of the year? Probably. I mean, if Noah didn't even get a minute today. Yeah, yeah. And Cam didn't look like this wasn't a good game for him, though. I mean, I don't know who he would have guarded on that team.

True. Maybe trying to remember what Missouri's like. Got that Mitchell kid. Yeah, he can't guard him. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if he can't be able to play the next one either. Auburn's up nine now, so I couldn't believe you told me. Josh Hubbard's got another year.

How is that possible? He's just a junior. That is unbelievable. We'll take a break. And be right back. It's the local toy dealers, KSR, post-game show. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

Final segment here on the road with Clayton and Kloom and Bert Tavern Bourbon. Let me also explain to you what Bert Tavern in. So Bert Tavern Bourbon came from. Is it Garrett County? Garrett County. And it's a tavern that was burned down twice. Twice. Twice.

Hence the burnt tavern. And they rebuilt it and made twice burned, double-barreled, reborn with a whisper of smoke bourbon at burnt tavern bourbon.com. And there's a set of stores there as well. I hadn't heard of it. But Shannon got it. And Shannon, it's like his favorite bourbon now. So it's in Garrett County.

Garrett County. Shannon's their endorser. They brought him a whole case of it at the Paul Miller show the other day. Shannon said it's really good. Burnt Tavern. One person writes, Matt, Billy, Brandon Garrison has always had the athleticism. I think that's what makes it frustrating.

He is a great athlete and he's got long arms. And, yeah, like I said, he can be very frustrating. But then you see a game like today and you can see why Pope has always been so intrigued with him. And I really think Pope, loves Brandon Garrison. I think he likes him. I do, too. I think Brandon works hard.

It's just sometimes I think he plays like a little middle school or sometimes. Louisville's been losing this whole game, and now they're up to. Looks like they might. They're up two with the ball with 20 seconds to go. McHale Brown's not playing in this. You get hurt? Well, they say as a sore back for this tournament, and they're trying to get him ready for the NCAA tournament.

Let's see what they do right here. I'm going to do my play-by-play. this is Cromwell gets the basket and he makes the layup. Louisville's probably going to survive against SMU. Who's up next? Robert. Robert. Go ahead and Robert.

I said Cromwell, Conwell. Go ahead. Hey, Matt, first time, a long time. Who are? Hey, first off, I love this time of year. I went to watch the game during work, looked over one of our senior leaders. We're

walking right in, and we're both watching the game kind of looked at each other and said, yep, we're both for the cast, even though we should be probably working today. So I love this time of the year. One thing I keep doing while I'm watching these games, I keep comparing Cal's teams to Pope's teams and thinking, hey, these guys should be better than they are. Am I crazy for thinking that way, or is that kind of a normal thing?

If you're just talking raw talent, I think virtually every team Calopery has, had has more raw talent than this one has. So I would say raw talent, this is kind of one of the more untact, well, athleticism, this team's got some, but in terms of basketball talent, I would argue this was one of the less talented Kentucky teams in the last 15 or 16 years. Now, with that said, you know, Aberdeen and Oway are great penetrators getting to the basket. Chandler, at times can be a great shooter.

You got a lot of big options. But no, I think he's, this team, the problem for this team is they're just not, Ryan, that talented. I mean, how many guys on this team that play are going to get drafted? I mean, potentially. Potentially Moreno. That might be it. I mean, you know, and our best play, here's the way I would look at. Who are our best play?

Always our best player unlikely to get drafted. If he does, it'll be at the very end. Aberdeen will not get drafted. Yeah. Right? Chandler, as of today, wouldn't get drafted. That could change, but, you know, Diabate,

not going to get drafted. So that's not been true of other teams. And so I do think there is a talent issue here. We had a serious talk in the middle of the season. Is this team just not very good? and I think a lot of it is they've got a lot of role players six men type guys

but maybe at times they'll have found a way to play really well. Now last year we didn't have a lot of guys that were going to get drafted but the difference is they could shoot so on any given night they could get hot but they also remember that team last year would lose by 30 sometimes too I mean so

on the one hand you look at this team and go they should have won more on the other hand you could look at it and go they could have won less. How in the hell they beat Tennessee twice? You know. Be it Arkansas at Arkansas. So I think they probably are about what they deserve to be.

Yeah. Like this is a 20th win, by the way. Six or seven seed going into the tournament. Yeah. Well, and that's disappointing. But think about with five minutes to go down at LSU when we were down nine. If I told you right now you can be a six seed in the tournament. I'm taking it.

You'd have taken it in a heartbeat because it looked like at that moment we weren't even going to make the tournament. Yeah, that's right. Let's do four more. Who's next, Billy? Lincoln. Lincoln. Lincoln. Hello, Matt?

Yes, go ahead. Hello, Matt. First time, long time. Who? Yeah, how long could it be? I was just, you may disagree with this, but that flagrant, I'm pretty sure it was on the LSU guy, who was trying to dunk on marinas. Yes.

And hit him in the eye I think Marino's really good but he needs to get more He needs to get a little bit stronger I agree I totally agree with you Lincoln He gets the ball taken from him too much

I mean he got hit in the eye there So that's not really his fault But in terms of being stronger I agree Moreno's got to get stronger We were sitting here talking with these guys About Moreno coming back And how he might deserve up to $3 million.

Well, you've got to get stronger. I mean, I think he does. He's very, very talented, but I think he needs to get stronger. You're right. And I can't believe the USA team lost. Yeah. I don't know if you follow baseball or anything, but at Kagalian, he played for Florida. He hit a two-run bomb.

Yeah, he's in the minors, I think, now. Well, Lincoln, I appreciate the call. Let me ask you a question. So tonight, Mexico plays. Yes. And for the USA to happen, if Mexico, if Italy wins, the USA will move on. But if Mexico wins, the USA moves on if they win by five or more. And it's the USA of Mexico.

So why wouldn't Italy and Mexico agree, Mexico, we're going to let you win, but between one to four runs because then we'll knock the USA out because then Mexico and Italy would go so Italy's incentive would be to lose to well if Italy wins they're in but the USA comes too but if you wanted to get the USA out

you would say Mexico you win but don't score the more than five runs why wouldn't you do that if you were Mexico and Italy just conspire to get the USA out because they're the best team I think you know in the spirit of true sportsmanship you want to you don't want to What would you do?

You cheat all the time. I never cheat. I would go up and play my butt off. I'd want to win. I'd want to win by as many runs as I could. But if you're Mexico and you're up for nothing, and you know if you score one more run, the USA comes with you.

Would you just strike out? You're up to bat. All right? It's four nothing against Italy. One more run, the USA moves on with you. But if you don't score again, then it's Italy that moves on with. with you. Are you striking out?

I'm swinging and I'm hitting a home run. They're not going to strike me out. And then what are you going to do when the USA beat you in the next round? They're not going to beat me the next round. We're going to beat them. We're a good, we're a good Mexican team. That should be a drop right there. We are a good Mexican team. All right. Remember that happened in the NFL, Matt, the Raiders and Chargers, if they would have tied, they both would have won the playoffs. That's right. And then the Raiders keep a field goal in overtime. Yeah. Many years ago, Tom Osborne, I think at Nebraska, if they had played, for a tie would have been the national champion

and he went for it and they lost in the bowl game. Wow. I respect that though, man. He went for two and if he kicked the extra point or something like that and he went for it and they ended up losing and he lost a national championship. You don't want to give a backdoor end or something like that. I think I would really strike out

if I was there. I would strike out because Italy you got a much better chance against. Who's next? Jackson. Jackson. Go ahead, Jackson. Hey, Matt. My mom let me stay home from school today to watch the game. What a great mom.

I wonder how many teachers out there in the state, just for a second, Jackson, how many teachers out there in the state you think let their class watch the game today? Roll that crate in with the TV on top of it. We're humming down the hallway. Do you think there's a lot of teachers that did that today? Absolutely. Some people are on spring break, I know. Well, colleges are.

High schools are. High schools are not on spring break yet. Yeah, I guarantee there have been a lot of, especially like those, coaches that are teaching class. They're not going to teach guys. They want to watch a ball game all day today. Yeah. All right, go ahead, Jackson.

But she said that I'm not allowed to stay home tomorrow. I was wondering if you guys could convince her to let me stay home tomorrow to watch them. Is your mom there? Is she there? I can't have you talk to if you want to. Yeah, put your mom on the phone for just a second. This is going to be good. Mom.

Wait until you hear my power of persuasion here. Matt Jones wants to talk to you. Oh, I don't. Because I told him to make you to convention to let me stay home tomorrow. Hello. Hi there. What's your name, ma'am? My name's Emily Krebs.

Emily, okay, so your son is Jackson. You let him stay home today to watch the game? Well, I went and picked him up. He went for half a day at least. Okay, so what do I have to do to convince you to let him do a half day tomorrow? Tomorrow's a big game. Okay, it's Missouri. They beat us earlier in the year.

The entire state's listening, and they want Jackson to be able to watch the game, and so do I. So what do I need to do for just a second half day for Jackson? You know, if you could write the school excuse note. I will. Mario and I will write the school excuse note tonight, okay? You give your email to Billy, and we will send you an excuse note from KSR to give to his school. Okay, well, then I will consider. And then if he does, no, wait a minute, consider.

You have to say yes, the whole state is listening. Don't let them down. Oh, but I can't go pick him up early tomorrow. I will be gone. We'll get him to stay home the whole day. Oh, he's got, well, even better, right, Ryan? He gets the whole day off. He can listen to the KSR in the morning.

And then watch basketball all day long, which is much better than going to English class. All right, and I promise you, if you do that, Jackson will help you, we'll clean the house this weekend. Oh, in that case, he is more than welcome to stay. All right, there you go. All right, now put Jackson back on. Okay, here he is. Did it work?

Jackson, I've convinced her, but I said you would clean the house this weekend. Are you going to do that? I'll do it. All right, there we go. Jackson will be home tomorrow. I expect to hear you on the post game show, all right? I'll do it All right there we go

Jackson gets to stay home from school I hope he hugs his ball You don't think I'd be a good parent Mario We were strongly encouraging Hooky so we are good parents Exactly But I remember

I still remember in In 1992 Excuse me in 1992 When Kentucky made the NCAA Tournament for the first time In many years when we lost to Duke But remember we hadn't played In the NCAA tournament in years

The first round Kentucky played Who did they play in the first round in 1992? I want to say, I don't think it was Monmouth, but it was Ryder. No, that was 93. Billy Lookup who played in the first and second round? Old Dominion, maybe.

Either way, we watched it in our school. Yeah. And I still remember sitting there and watching that game, and I guess that would have been I was in eighth grade and how exciting it was. That's going to be more than what he's going to remember in school. What of my greatest memories of go sitting in a classroom in middle schools and wheeling that TV and so we could all watch the basketball games all day.

It was part of the fun. I got to think of who it was. Billy, look it up. I want to say Old Dominion, that might be wrong. 92, 93 was Ryder. That's Ryder, but that was the next year. 91, 92. See who we played in the first round.

You look it up while we take. I said Ryder about 93, but the year before. Go ahead. Who's up next? Jacob, go ahead, Jacob. Hey, guys. Good game today. We didn't play great.

I feel like against Missouri, we're definitely going to get back on defense a lot quicker than we did today. Yes, I agree. And the officiating, I didn't hate it. It wasn't as bad as some of our games. But I feel like whenever they called those techs, it just took the air out of the ball for us. I mean, you can see, especially the Moe tech. You know, I don't know if that played, but I feel like it slowed us down. have a question if we beat Missouri, Florida, and we go all the way, what is, what would you

think our seat would be in the NCAA tournament? You mean if we won the whole SEC tournament? If we won the whole thing, yeah, like we're going to. Well, I mean, Seth Davis says otherwise, but they don't consider the championship game in the seating. I would say if you won the whole thing, you definitely are five. Maybe you could get to a four, but I would just say a five. I think they probably won't consider the championship game either way. So I'd say that if you get to the finals, you'd probably be a five-seat. Awesome. Appreciate the call.

Thank you very much. Who do we play in 92? Old Dominion. Oh, wow. How did you remember that? How did you pull that out? Old Dominion and pulled out Ryder the next year. That's amazing.

I cared about UK basketball way too much at that age. You had all your brackets? I did. Yeah. And I remember schools based on who we played. Like I remembered in 2010, we opened up with East Tennessee State. We've played Eastern Kentucky in the first round of tournament before. Yes.

We've played Abilene Christian in the first round of the tournament before. We've played Troy last year. I think we played, what was the school that had the got Mount St. Mary's? We played them one year. Played a team called St. Peters in the first round one year. I'll never forget St. Peter's. But we played Mount St. Mary's once. They had the guy with the bow tie who had the most wins in the history of college.

About Whalen? Feeling? Feeling. That's right. Feeling. All right. We'll stop with the old man memories. One more.

Who's next? Michael. Michael. Go ahead, Michael. Gentlemen, it is a good day to be a Kentucky Wildcatch fan, don't you think? Stony Brook. We played them once, too. Yes, it is.

Go ahead. Oh, man. I really don't know where, yeah, I'll say, I'll be real quick. Dude, when Brandon Garrison hit that second three, I don't know if you all saw, but it cut to Mark Pope's face. And dude, it looked like a father seeing, like, it's like a proud father seeing his son hit the game winning three. He was just sitting there. He was like, thank you. He's like, this is what I've been waiting for.

No, he did. You're right. That is what he looked like. That's a good call. But, man, oh, dude, I ain't even going to lie. would he get that second three. I was literally running around my living room screaming, DG! BG!

That's what Mario was doing here. I hope we continue that because we're going to need it. Dude, I know I saw the video. I saw you all reacting on video. That was funny. And you called the, you called the miss free throw.

That was funny, too. I knew he was going to miss that free throw. I knew he was going to miss that free throw to go to 10 points. You're like, dude, I don't care. Look, I don't care what anybody says about you, Matt Jones. You know this team more than you.

I don't care. You know when they're going to miss something. You know when they're going to hit it. You're good at calling you. calling it. It's kind of funny. All right? Well, I appreciate it. With that being said, I'm going to get off here. I'm going to get off here. I'm going to let you all have a rest of your good day.

Take a shot of bourbon for me because I'm out in Washington State. I can't be there. Bert, Tavern, Bourbon. I'll have Tall and Ryan and Mario take one for you. Appreciate the call. Thank you all very much. Thank you guys. Oh, hello there.

I didn't see you all back there. Thank you very much for coming. We didn't even tell people we were here and you found us. There you go. Thanks to the MET, we are going to get in the car as soon as we pack up and head to Nashville. Tomorrow, 10 roof. So the show starts at 9 a.m. Eastern. We're combining KSR and the pre-show.

It starts at 9 a.m. So that's 8 Central. Get to 10 roof and come and see us. Then we'll have the game and the post game. And at some point, we will ride a bull. I don't know if that'll be tomorrow or Friday. Probably got to move back later in the week in case I get hurt. I do have a really serious question.

Okay. What are you going to wear when you ride the bull? Well, the cowboy hat's going. But it'll come off on it. I don't want to get it damaged. How do you know? You don't know, Mario. You've never been on a bull.
