Chandler throws it to Oway in the right baseline.
He spins into the paint, goes up,
and scores it to tie the game.
Santa Clara coming the other way.
Davaluga, right side.
Comes into the circle, throws it back to.
Graves three seconds a three good with two point four to play into Oway no
timeouts for Kentucky long three for the win back did it oh man oh man oh man oh
my ties that up oh my time it is the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show
we are taking over Cardinal Stadium how about that big win that's right Bush
stadium, I guess is what they call it here.
These folks can't even hear me on a speaker,
and everybody else doesn't even know what's going on.
But the Cats win one.
We will always remember on a shot that will live in Kentucky lore for a long time
as they win in overtime, 89 to 84.
Matt Jones and Ryan Lemon, we are here right outside of your Cardinal Stadium.
I love that stadium.
A Bush Stadium.
Whatever it is.
I have to tell you that this was, you know, if you go to home games,
games at Rupp Arena, you see where they do the entrance and they play a minute and a half of the
greatest highlights in Kentucky sports history. This shot will be playing on that for the next 75
years. You got to see in person, those of you that win, one that will last forever as the cats
get a much needed win to move on to the second round where they'll almost certainly play Iowa
State and also to get a chance to keep advancing.
And Otega Owey, 35 points, eight rebounds, seven assists.
Only four players in the history of the NCAA tournament
have ever had an NCAA tournament game like that
with 35 points, eight boards, and seven assists.
Let me give you the names.
Oscar Robertson, Bill Bradley, Larry Bird,
and now Otega Owe is the fourth one.
That's a pretty unbelievable list.
Today, Otega O.A submitted himself as a Kentucky basketball legend for the rest of his life.
A lot of people don't realize he also broke the record today for most points ever by a two-year player at Kentucky.
He broke Bill Spivey's record today during the game.
It's him first, Bill Spivey's second, Antonio Reeves' third now for history for two-year players.
I have to tell you, Ryan, and then before we get into more details, you also got to give it back a big shout out.
It was BG time, Mario.
It was BG time.
Peanut butter jelly time.
Yes, it was.
How about Brandon Garrison has seven rebound, six blocks,
six blocks including two huge ones in overtime?
To block a three-pointer on the perimeter like that late in the game is huge.
And do it twice.
He did it twice.
And then only that got the block, went down the floor, got the feed for a dunk after he blocked that shot that one time.
And we won't talk about O-A on that play.
No, he didn't walk.
I didn't see him walk.
Did you all see him walk?
No.
look like so he took the exact perfect amount of steps.
But Brandon Garrison, you got to give him a ton of credit for playing.
But this will be remembered as an Otega Owey defining legacy game.
And that shot, we were talking about, you know, how do you rank it all time?
It's hard to know.
I guess we kind of need to see what they do in the tournament.
If they get beat by 30 next game, maybe we don't remember it as much.
But it's for postseason shots, you know what?
You're talking like Tony Delk in the 96 championship game for the corner.
Aaron Harrison shots over the years.
A lot of our other ones have actually ended up being in losses like the Patrick Sparks game.
But this one ends up in a win that's just amazing.
It will be one of the greatest NCAA tournament shots in Kentucky basketball history.
I think it's one of objectively that's a shot we'll see for 50 years just at the NCAA tournament period.
Yeah.
I mean, that sequence where he scores, they hit the third.
We come back and tie, and there's no time out, so it just goes back and forth.
They'll play that.
I mean, that's, you know, it's not Leitner, but they'll play that like that.
That's going to be, it's certainly going to be like they play the dude from Carolina that hit the shot against.
How many times we've seen that Bryce Drew last second shot and the Tyos Edney last second shot?
Those were kind of jumpers and layups.
This was nearly a half-court.
And he banked it in.
And banked it in.
I don't know about y'all.
I heard him call it.
I heard him call bank.
You know what's crazy?
Mario and I were standing there before the game, and we were bouncing those balls.
Did you notice how much people had no issues with the ball?
Yeah.
And I remember thinking I wasn't, and I was watching Kentucky warm up,
and guys were shooting off the glass, and none of them were going in.
And I thought, I think these balls are just too inflated.
You're not going to be able to bank shots in.
Well, I was wrong.
He banked in a 35-footer with that inflated ball.
You know, you mentioned some of the shots.
Brandon Knight hit a last second shot to win a game in the tournament.
Those are good.
Those two Brandon Knight shots.
Yes.
against Princeton and yeah.
Vernon Hatton, we'll run in from like three quarters court one time, I think,
in the NCAA tournament game.
But this, the pressure of what could have been,
it could have been the end of the era, Mark Stoops' era,
if he misses that shot, he and lose that game.
Mark Stoops.
Mark Pope.
And it also wouldn't have been the end.
He's getting a little worked up.
He's just got to get into.
He's excited.
He's getting a little worked up.
That's okay.
Let's just talk a little bit about what happened down the street.
First of all, can I tell you the story where I,
I watched the game.
Yeah, so we're waiting to hear this.
All right, so I found a little alleyway where I could watch and pace back and forth.
So I did that the whole first half.
I just was watching and just walking back and forth.
In the arena?
In the arena first half.
We get to the end of the first half.
They take the lead.
Yes.
And I go, all right, I'm out.
I can't do it.
You left at halftime.
So I walked down here to a park like two blocks away.
Yeah.
And I sat there and I watched it on my phone.
And I guess, I mean, these these girls right here, there's a child, there's like a child,
volleyball, girls volleyball tournament going on.
So there are those kids are everywhere, right?
And I'm sitting there and I'm holding my phone like a crazy person screaming the entire time.
Just yelling and screaming.
When Aberdeen hit that three to put us up seven, I start thinking, okay.
We got this.
Let's get in the mode.
We're good.
Then they come back and go up four and I'm sitting there going, okay, now what do I say if the season has ended?
How do we look at this?
Blah, blah, blah.
when O-A makes that shot
Thankfully there might be security footage somewhere in that park
I just start running and going
And then I look and like no one's there
And these people are staring at me but I couldn't help it
I was way too excited
You were the crazy wacky old man in a park pool of female volleyball players
They're all like, what are you doing here?
That makes it sound much worse than it was
I think it was.
All right, so we get to overtime.
And in overtime, we're up four, I think, with like 48 seconds or something after the Garrison
ones.
So I walk into this, like, hotel bar to try to watch the end of it.
And I don't know if you all have ever done this, but I'm so into it.
I'm staring at my phone.
And I got my head down staring at my phone, and I end up walking up.
And this was one of the most embarrassing things in my life.
I walk up and I get, like, right here next to a woman that's a stranger.
and I don't see her because I'm looking at my phone.
And then I look up and I am three feet from her nose.
And she has a look on her face like, what are you doing?
What is wrong with you?
And I had to apologize.
So I was a little out of control, but you know what?
It was worth it.
We got the victory.
We is who he is.
We Kentucky basketball fans.
We celebrate like we want to celebrate.
So if that's how I help the Kentucky Wildcats win by doing that today, I think I did.
I think I certainly helped.
Do it.
All of you.
All of you?
Yeah.
Pretty much.
I mean, you were there.
Talk to me about what it felt like in the arena during that period.
First of all, I was kind of surprised how many Santa Clara fans were there.
They had more of a turnout than I thought they were going to.
And the Iowa State fans, I'm sure, cheered for them too.
And the whole first half, you know, we were kind of living and dying by three and not hitting them.
And I could just feel our fan base just kind of tense up.
You can just feel it in there.
And I think they stayed tense until always basket went in the end of the game.
I don't know if a lot of people were scared to death of that game in there.
Even though the game stayed close the whole time, I actually think it was two completely different games.
In the first half, I actually thought we played excellent defense, like really good defense.
But offensively, we got away from a gameplay.
We didn't go.
We stopped going to the basket.
We were shooting threes, but not even shooting good threes.
We were shooting like contested threes or off the bounce threes.
Then in the second half, I thought our offense was much more efficient.
We were driving the basket, kicking it out for threes.
Those were better looks.
Guys were finishing.
Diabot.
was great. I need to mention him. He ended up with 17 points in the game.
Garrison was great. Aberdeen made big shots and then of course Owey gets 35.
But our defense kind of disappeared. We started and we couldn't.
Poor Moreno and Yelovich kept dropping offence, kept dropping rebounds, giving them second chances.
But the key thing is with four minutes to go, four minutes to go, games essentially tied.
And the question is, are you going to be able to out tough them and this team did it?
You got to give credit to both Diabate and Garris on the defensive end.
They got physical with their big guys, and I think that really bothered him.
And then O-Way, as good as he was offensively, he was getting it down on the defensive end, too.
He was trying to slow those guards down and got hot and did a good job.
Chandler finally made one.
That was a big one.
You know, he missed all those open shots, and then he hit one.
He got a steal at a big point in the game there as well.
And the stretch where AOC hit back to back to back.
Yeah, and Averdine, Oway, and Chandler, I saw you tweet AOC.
some nice replies to that.
I'm really happy, obviously, for the fans.
I'm happy, you know, I'm a fan.
I'm happy for myself.
I'm really happy for the team.
You know, this team has, for a lot of the year, felt like it underachieved.
It's been frustrating at times.
I really didn't want to see them go out losing like to this team.
Nothing against Santa Clara, who I actually thought played really well in the second
half. Although I did have a bad interaction with the Santa Clara fan right out there. I was just
standing there talking on the phone to Billy, and she walked by and goes, you people from Kentucky
are so smug. I want to be like, look, come on. You're in Santa Clara. You're in San Francisco
lady. Like, come on. That's a different level of smug. But they were pretty upset. I mean,
and I would be too. You haven't made a tournament in 30 years. If you're a Santa Clara fan,
that one will stick with you forever. Yeah, because I'm sure they thought they won the game.
Of course.
The kid hit the three-pointed with two seconds left.
Game over.
We win.
We just knocked off Big Mighty Kentucky.
So now, Iowa State is going to beat Tennessee State.
This isn't a game.
But you all may not have seen this because you might not have been watching.
Their best player got hurt at the beginning and is on crutches, Joshua Jefferson.
So he's an All-American.
And if he doesn't play, that's a different game.
Now, they're still winning by 30 tonight.
But I hate to see any kid get hurt, especially in the tournament.
I think he's a senior too.
But if he doesn't play, that game looks completely different than what it looked like.
He's a forward that kind of is the kind of dude we struggle to match up with.
So just something to watch.
Hey, you hate for anybody to get hurt.
But if it opens up a better path for us, you know, and it looks at Virginia was getting beat by Hofstra?
If Virginia win, Virginia won.
So Alabama's losing right now.
No, they now took the lead to Hofster.
But so Virginia has won.
Tennessee is about to play Miami of Ohio here in a few minutes.
But we will be playing Iowa State.
People have asked what time they will not announce that until after in the late games tonight.
You and I were talking about, I mean, I think the thing to watch is if St. John's and Kansas both win tonight so that they play each other,
then I think that'll be the 530.
That'll be their big game.
It's a primetime game on Sunday.
And I would guess if that happens, they'll put us at that game before it.
that like 2, it's like 215 or 230.
If one of those teams loses, then I think they might put us in that 530 game
because CBS, CBS's last games at 530, then the other games are on TBS, T&T.
I would be surprised if they put Kentucky on the other networks.
So my guess, if I'm guessing, if both Kansas and St. John's win,
I would guess we'll go 215, 230 if Kansas or St. John's,
loses, then I think we would play 530.
That's a complete guess, but that's where I.
If Iowa State hangs on a win, that ticket on Sunday is going to be a hard one to get.
Yeah, are you guys going to go on Sunday?
I do think that's going to be.
It'll be a hard ticket.
And if Purdue wins tonight, and you have Purdue, Kentucky, and Iowa State in the same session,
I do think that will actually be a very difficult ticket to get if he did it.
Yeah, Kentucky fan earlier told me he was trying to get one real quick,
and I think the cheapest thing found was like $250 already.
Yeah, it's going to be expensive.
This guy has a thing that says he bets his friend, he couldn't get on the show.
$5. What's your name?
Yeah, you.
All right, I can't believe Ryan already handed him the headset.
I wasn't going to do that.
But I tell you what, it's $5 and you came and we won.
What's your name?
Caden.
Caden, where you from?
Henderson, Kentucky.
Henderson, Kentucky in the house.
What did you think of that win?
Dude, that was electric.
I've actually never been to a U.K. game.
That was my first time.
They've got a U.S.
That was your first game?
Well, they're not always like that.
All right, Caden, the only way I'm going to let you be on this show.
as you lead this crowd in one more CATS chant while we go to break.
Take that off first and let them go.
Ready?
Y'all start it.
No, you started.
Oh, there you go.
We're going to take your calls.
Guys, you all will have a hard time hearing me now,
but I thank you guys very much for coming.
It is an awesome win.
Enjoy yourselves.
The Missouri pep rallies coming here in a minute.
Boom.
We'll see you.
We'll be right back.
This is the local Toyota dealers, KSR post-game show.
Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers KSR postgame show.
772-7-7-4-754 is the text machine, 8-59-280-2807.
I have seen some people sort of downplaying the game on Twitter or on Facebook, except.
I'm not listening to any of that.
You know, yes, it's Santa Clara.
I get all that, but if you can't enjoy this game,
if you can't enjoy a half-court shot or just inside half-court shot to send it to overtime,
and an overtime win in that environment,
like that is why we do sports.
Like that's why you're a fan is for moments like that.
So for me, I'm hearing no slander.
This is nothing but joy today.
We are long overdue to celebrate a big win.
I'd like to be North Carolina.
They're home watching on TV.
Yeah, I mean, Wisconsin is at home?
I mean, there's a, but I don't even,
it almost doesn't even matter me about that.
You play sports to have moments like that, moments of elation.
You know, I tweet it out,
There's a whole commonwealth of students in high schools, grade schools, middle schools,
who their teacher put that on in their classroom today, right?
And some of them have sent me videos.
Some of them even said, Matt, I'm not going to write it on social media because I don't want to get in trouble for my principal.
But, like, think about what it was like for them to be sitting in their goal.
They'll remember that for the rest of their life.
They really will.
They'll remember sitting there and watching that for the rest of their life in that moment.
how can you not love it?
The video at KS. Bar, if you haven't seen it yet, insane at KS. Bar today when he hit it,
Drew ends up standing on the bar doing a Ryan Lemon up there.
It's just awesome.
Like, how can you not love that moment?
And they will always remember Otega O'A now.
Like we remember some of these last second shots over the years.
You know, like you said, you mentioned Tony Delks' three in the corner against Syracuse.
We can all can see it.
These kids and watch those games in their classroom today will always remember Otega Heaveen won
Do you agree with me that ends up on that montage that plays forever?
There's no doubt.
Yeah, absolutely it will.
It has to.
Like I said, it's one of the most historic shots.
The fact that tied a game in the NCAA tournament to send it in overtime is one of the biggest shots in UK history.
And if they were to make some kind of run, right?
If they were to beat Iowa State or to beat Virginia and Tennessee and the suite, if they were to make some kind of run, that's the moment.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, that's the moment.
And sports in life, but sports is a game of interest.
you miss that shot is a completely different conversation we're having.
You make that shot, and it's like, you know, you've been washed in the blood of the lamb,
and we don't even have to think about anything and can get ready for our next game.
A great, wise, old philosopher said sports is awesome.
Sports is awesome.
I do remember somebody said that.
Sports is awesome, yes.
All right, so we will be in St. Louis now for the next couple days.
Happy.
Let's get started.
Now, let me just say, Billy has the flu and is literally,
like as sick as I've ever seen Billy, but because no one else knows how to run the UK games,
he came in today.
Billy, you're a trooper.
Thank you very much.
You're doing okay?
Yeah, I'm here, guys.
Thank you, though, for saying that.
You can hear it in his voice.
Yes, you can.
But thank you for coming in, Billy.
Seriously, I know how sick you are.
I appreciate it.
All right, who's up first?
Dustin.
Dustin.
Go ahead, Dustin.
Matt and Ryan, how are you?
You all think this is a legacy.
Do you think this is a legacy game for Brandon Garrison today?
I think two people's, two players, I do think this is a kind of legacy game for two players.
Because O'A, I think, was always going to be remembered as a really good player.
But he kind of, I think, in fans' mind, will move one notch up.
I mean, he's, and maybe not into the all-time greats, but into the all-time, wow.
I think what happens with O-Way is what happened with the Harrison twins.
Right? I mean, in some ways, the Harrison twins are thought of as much is a little bit higher than they would have been because of those postseason shots.
I think, oh, wait. And then I think Brandon Garrison, who has been a very controversial player, including to yours truly, even if he never plays here again, even if he never plays here again, I'm going to have fondness for the guy because of today.
Right. I'm going to have fondness for him because of today because that really, I don't think you can help.
but feel something positive for him because of that.
I do think it will change the way fans look at him.
It absolutely will because he has the big game in the SEC tournament.
He's BG, big game Brandon.
That's what he's going to be in.
And he also did such a Brandon Garrison thing.
Gets the blocks, gets us the win, and then fouls with two seconds to go.
Like that was Brandon Garrison in a nutshell.
He fouls out with two seconds to go when he completely didn't need.
Like it was the quintessential Brandon Garrison game.
You lose your head at the moment for a silly foul.
Really? That is Brandon Garrison to a team.
All right. Yep. Last question for Ryan. Ryan, have you ate a donut yet since the donuts last summer?
Appreciate the call. Yes, if you've eaten a donut since the donut challenge.
I've had a donut with icing on it, but not a regular donut. I can't eat it a regular donut yet.
You can't even look at them anymore, can you?
No, I can't do it. I'm just not ready yet. If you've got icing on it and for whatever, that's okay.
Mario's walking around doing interviews here of the players. Right State nearly pulled it off on Virginia.
that would have had one on Tom Crean.
Tom Crean said Virginia would roll him,
and I was like, I think Wright State's going to win,
even though I didn't believe it.
Tom, bright again.
Who's next?
Drew at KS. Barr.
It's Drew Franklin at KS. Bar.
Drew, how are you?
Oh, I couldn't be better, guys.
What a game, what a finish.
What a Brandon Garrison, Tom.
Yes.
So tell me what that environment was like in there.
I saw the video, but it looked awesome.
Well, it was amazing.
We had BG chance throughout the game.
I had to call in to make two points.
One, I agree with you because anyone that has any negativity right now just needs to shut up.
That was amazing, and we will be talking about O-way shot decades from now.
And two, as you just asked, KS Bar was awesome.
When I got here, there was a line out the door.
Yeah, we got a little nervous, a little uncomfortable at times.
But when that shot went in, that was an all-time moment with the fan base.
And I know you guys are in St. Louis, but I wish you guys could have been here to see the KS-Barr crowd too.
Yeah, I do too.
And I appreciate everybody that was in a group because I was by myself in a park, Drew,
but nevertheless, I got to enjoy it as well.
I heard that.
Yeah, I just wanted to call in and check in from KS.
Bar.
We're loving it as much as you all.
I'm enjoying the post-game show.
Ryan, get it together, but what a game.
Now, let's go on and win the next round.
Appreciate it.
Drew's record at KS.
Bar for watch party.
Drew is amazing, and he'll be there Sunday as well.
So we got all weekend long.
Listen, as somebody owns a bar, the difference in the amount of people that will be at the
tonight and tomorrow versus what it would have been if we lost is quite substantial so that will be
good who's up next then ben go ahead ben so i was ready to give up when they hit that shot in to go up with
two minutes two seconds left and then all of a sudden i see i'll take a away pull up a you know pull up a
harrison shot just spanking in like that i was where i was there when they made it shot in michigan uh back in 2014
I can honestly say that that's the first time I felt something in a long time with Kentucky basketball.
You know, I just really appreciate O.A., and I hope he understands and feels a love from Kentucky.
He's going down in history for sure, and I hope Aberdeen feels the same way, and DJ and all those guys.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Oh, I appreciate the call.
You're exactly right.
I mean, OA, you know, there'll be somebody else in 20 years doing this show who will sit there at some,
moment in the future at Kentucky basketball and they'll go you know it was like Jack
given shot in 78 Tony Delkin and you know and Brandon Knight and now Otego
Way's name will be in that like that's a that is a cool thing that you know you get to
have for your whole life that's what I said he cemented himself in Kentucky
basketball lore forever with that he just because it was like almost a half court shot
and he banked it in to send it into overtime let's talk about on that play real quick if you
watch so it's getting some attention online if you watch the
replay, Herb Sendeck tries to call time out, and they don't give it to it.
Now, a lot of people are whining about it.
I'm going to give a preemptive response.
He clearly did try to call time out, but he didn't do it immediately.
I think he did do it before they imbounded it, but not immediately.
And just a little note, I had a coach tell me, coaches are told if you want to call time
out there look towards the baseline official. The mid-court official is watching the ball,
so he may not see you. So you have to, so coaches know, look towards the baseline official.
Herb Sendeck is chasing the referee running down the court. He did try. I understand why he's
frustrated. He started his press conference by going, I tried to call it, it's on video.
I watched the video, he did try to call it. But A, he looked at the wrong official, and B, he waited
like a second or two before he did it.
And so I think if either of those things he had done differently,
they probably would have given it to him,
but they ended up not doing it.
Yeah, a lot of times, like after the shot,
the official even glance over real quick.
And he did.
If you go watch the video, the official looks real quick at Herb,
sees nothing, starts running down to court,
and then he starts chasing after him.
But there was an official on the baseline.
He could have done it, and he didn't do it.
So that hesitation cost him.
So that hesitation cost him.
Now, you know, I get why he's frustrated,
but like some of that's on you.
If you had done it immediately, you would have gotten it, but he did.
I'll take it would have hit the shot anyway.
I agree.
By the way, also, I would say to her, why didn't you foul?
Right?
Yeah, right.
Should have fouled.
Moment that ball gets inbounded, you should have fouled.
And I also know one thing.
You remember the guy who talked trash before the game,
saying Jack Gulke was his favorite March Madness player?
I want you to go watch the replay.
When Graves makes his three, that guy runs down the court and starts celebrating.
When Owe gets the ball, he comes in to close out, and he's about a half a second late.
And if he hadn't been celebrating like Jack Golky, he probably would have cut him off and stopped him.
But he's about a half second late getting back because his celebrating ass decided to do that instead of play defense.
So I'm just saying a lot of people made mistakes there that they could have done something.
The ghost of Jack Golky, little karma right there, it sounds like.
Yeah, that's right.
Who's next?
Autumn.
Autumn, go ahead, Autumn.
Hey, Matt.
I'm going to try to say this without crying, but, man, when Otega hit that shot, I just lost it.
Tears were streaming down my face, and I just felt the frustration of this season, like, leave my body.
Exactly a year ago today, my mom was diagnosed with liver cancer, and she has fought, and
she is still here by the grace of God, and I just feel like when that shot went in, that was for her.
And I'm so excited for this team.
And I love this team so much.
And I love Mark Pope.
And I just pray that we, as a fan base, realize how blessed we truly are to be a part of the best fan base, the best team in all of sports.
And that's Kentucky basketball.
That's really nice.
I want to go back for a second.
What's your grandmother's name?
It's my mother.
My mother's name is Debbie.
Debbie.
So Debbie got to, she watched it today?
Yes.
Okay, that's awesome.
Well, first of all, we're praying for Debbie.
I think it is.
I'm going to say Otega made that shot for Debbie, aren't you?
I think he did.
That's exactly right.
And thank you for listening and calling in, and God bless you.
Thank you all.
Go cats.
I think the microphone even picked him up when he let it go.
He said, bank for Debbie.
Did he say bank for Debbie?
He called bank and said that was for Debbie.
I didn't hear him say it, but I believe it.
Yeah, the microphone picked it up.
Mario, I want you to come here real quick for a second.
Because I want Mario went in the locker room after the game while we came here.
So Mario, you were in the locker room after the game, right?
Yes, I was.
Tell me what those guys were like.
A lot of smiles.
Everybody laughing, joking around.
We had Jaylon Lowe interviewing all of his other teammates.
A lot of media was waiting for Otega O.
O.A to return to the locker room.
But there's a lot of good vibes in the locker room.
Yes.
What did you do when they made?
when he made the three.
I was recording, so I tried to, like, record the last minute shot,
but I panned to the St. Clair's student section,
so I kind of missed the Otega order.
Why were you showing the Santa Clara student section?
Who wants to see that?
I thought it was over.
You were, what did you think about BG time?
Oh, BG's the man.
Touch money, baby.
Touch money.
That's all what it's about, man.
Touch money.
All right, thank you, Mario.
Appreciate it.
Who's up next?
Jackson.
Jackson.
Go ahead, Jackson.
man Matt I know you're a lawyer can I is this grounds to sue for emotional distress I got to
because because you had no damage we won so you cannot sue I'm sorry you got to just enjoy it
I feel like I went through every emotion depression in that two seconds and then when that
shot went in I I'm I'm out I'm a mailman working and I I think these people probably think
I'm insane and I don't care
I'm not the happiest I've been in a while.
They were watching too.
But again, like y'all said, just a great shot.
You know, under Pope and under even the last few Cal years,
it feels like we've had good tournament wins and had good wins in general,
but we haven't had like a moment to remember.
We've had wins.
No, you're exactly right.
This feels like that moment.
This is a, no, you're right.
There hasn't been.
I appreciate the call.
The last moment for Kentucky basketball in the postseason.
It's really been a moment was when Tyler Hero hit that shot against Houston in the Sweet 16 and took us to the elite eight.
That's kind of the last postseason moment that Kentucky's had, and now you have it here with this one.
With this one, like we've talked about, it was just so much more dramatic.
We were about to bow out of the first round of the NCAA tournament to Santa Clara, and he banks one in from half court.
I will say to the people in Kentucky, we're going to need you from a crowd perspective Sunday.
There's a lot of Iowa State fans here.
We had more fans than Santa Clara, but we probably didn't have more fans than Iowa State in the arena.
No.
So we and Purdue, if they win, we're going to need an invasion of the blue because there will be a ton of cyclones here on Sunday,
and Kentucky is going to need to match the crowd.
The guy just said they tried to buy a ticket for Sunday.
up to 300.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise.
It'll be a tough ticket.
You get three good teams all close.
Who would Purdue play if they, Miami or Missouri?
They could have to play Missouri.
If Missouri ends up in that final four with us.
Oh, my God, I didn't even think about that.
If it's Missouri, Purdue, Iowa State, and Kentucky, now that's a hard ticket.
I didn't even think about Missouri.
Wow.
We need Miami to win because they won't have any of them.
It'd be kind of a home game for Missouri.
Wow.
But maybe Missouri fans would buy up all the tickets,
and then we wouldn't get them to Iowa State fans.
That's fair.
Yeah.
But there was a good Kentucky crowd today.
It wasn't quite what it normally is, I think, but it was a good crowd.
We had our one section was all blue, and then we were kind of spread out.
They were spread out everywhere.
All right, we're going to take a break.
859-2-80-2287.
Text machine is 772-744-5-254.
We'll take a break right back.
This is the local Toyota dealers, KSR, post-game show.
Welcome back.
It is the local toy dealers, KSR postgame show.
Shout out to these UK fans.
This is the greatest group of fans.
They're standing out in this sun, and it's hot here.
I don't know what it's like in Kentucky, but this is a hot sun.
They can't even hear the calls.
They can barely hear me, and they're still out here.
And that's why you're wearing a hoodie, man.
You've got to be really, ah, he's not even worried about it.
Look at it.
It's no big thing.
We do need to give a shout out.
We're at Sports and Social here at Ballpark Village,
and their manager Drew is a big Kentucky Wildcat fan.
Northern Kentucky.
Listen to KSR or everywhere.
We are absolutely everywhere.
Also, we get tomorrow nothing to do but watch games.
It could be one of my favorite days of the year, laying around on the couch all day.
You don't have to be stressed.
Order DoorDash.
Matt pays for.
Watch ball games all day.
I mean, we can go out of the house.
No, I prefer not.
Okay.
Well, there are places to go.
She's been giving me recommendations all weekend, and they've been good stuff.
So 859-280-2287.
Do you, how do you feel about Iowa State?
I mean, especially, all right, so they're going to lose.
He led the team in rebounding, Joshua Jefferson, second scoring.
I think he's like third team All-American.
He is in a boot and on crutches.
So I'm just going to assume it's unlikely he plays.
They'll be the favorite.
They can still beat us without him.
They're still very good.
But I do think we have a chance.
I saw Iowa State just kick the snout out of Kansas.
And ever since I saw that, it has scared me to death.
And then they played Arizona like to the last second in the tournament, the Big 12 tournament.
They're good.
They're very, very good.
But they don't scare me.
Like I said, Kentucky may not have enough.
But they play a style that we've done better against this year, generally speaking.
And I think Joshua Jefferson was the position where they had the biggest advantage on us.
So I do think, you know, I mean, I will probably even pick them,
although on the pregame show I'll probably pick Kentucky because that's just what I do.
But I do think Kentucky has a legitimate shot.
And then I, I mean, if we get in the next round,
I actually think the next round would be easier than this round,
depending on how it works out.
You know, I didn't get to watch any of this game,
but they obviously had no trouble with Tennessee State.
I thought that would be closer and it wasn't.
No.
Yeah.
So Miami of Ohio and Tennessee are tipping off right now as well.
Who's next?
Anthony.
Anthony.
Go ahead, Anthony.
Hey, Matt, just wanted to ask you what time is it?
It's BG time.
It's BG time.
Josh Jefferson, Justin, Jefferson, Thomas, Jefferson, it don't matter.
Catch by 90.
Yes.
Appreciate it.
Jefferson Starship, whatever you want.
We'll still do it.
I think this Kentucky team,
I didn't know we ever had a run at a final four,
but capable of pulling off some upsets.
There's two things I also think are worth noting.
First of all, whatever else you want to say about this team,
at no point this year have they ever given up in any game.
Well, that's not true.
Exactly.
They gave up in a couple games.
But in general, they have fought through the vast majority of games.
And they have, in other situations where teams have given up,
you know, they've shown resilience.
Secondly, when Mark Pope built this team,
We've had a lot of criticisms with how he built it, and I think a lot of them are valid.
But in his mind, he was building it around veteran tough leadership.
Well, that certainly showed through today, with O.A, Garrison, Diabate, and Aberdeen being the four guys that took them.
He was almost kind of validated for today for how he built the team because those guys are the ones that came out and played.
I haven't seen a box score, so I know about minutes played.
But Oway, Aberdeen, Chandler, all three of those guys played at least probably 40.
minutes or more.
Yeah, let me look.
I'll pull it up, but you're right.
And then the three big guys kind of rotated
between Moe and Garrison and
Well, there was 45 potential
minutes, and let's
see. O'A. played
43, Chandler
42, Aberdeen
38, Diabate
32. Yeah.
Jasper Trent.
By the, Cam Williams did a big three.
We won't even talk about that.
Cam Williams, Cam Williams
had an important three in the game when he
So that was a big one.
He didn't get a lot of minutes, but when he comes in,
he can just do that.
How important is that going to be?
I said this on social media.
O-Way was the first person on the court when I saw him get there this morning,
and he was the last person to leave the court playing, you know, getting ready for the game.
You understand this is it, man.
This is his last run.
He's a senior.
Everybody's going to focus on the half-court shot.
That take to the basket to tie the game right before it might have been just as hard a shot.
I mean, it was contested.
He had to do his O-Way thing kind of physically get in.
in, bank it in. That was a great shot too.
When he hit that shot, I thought that's what we'd be talking about here in the postgame show.
Was that crucial drive and shot?
That's kind of a quintessential O-A shot right there, too.
Like, that's what he does as good as anybody we've had.
Who's next?
Matt, while we're talking about him, let's give our Johnny Rocker personal injury attorney moneymaker of the game.
Injured, get small town compassion with big city results when you call the Rocker at 2703-3-4-29.
An O-A stat line of 35, 8, and 7 hasn't been done in the NCAA tournament since Larry Burr.
in 1979.
He is our Johnny Rocker, personal injury attorney, moneymaker of the game.
That is a really amazing stat.
Larry Bird, Bill Bradley, Oscar Robertson, 35, 8, and 7.
And Otega Owe.
And Otega Owe.
I mean, that's crazy, isn't it?
I mean, he was close to getting a triple double in the NCAA tournament
going to Dwayne Wade territory.
But that was an amazing numbers.
And I mean, Brandon's numbers were kind of wild, too.
I mean, Brandon Garrison was not triple double, but he was like triple something.
Yeah.
Well, you mentioned Diabate had like 17 points, I think eight rebounds, almost a double double.
Yeah, Brandon Garrison had 10 points, seven boards, six blocks.
It's pretty nice.
Blocked a three-point shot and then came back and blocked another three-point shot.
10-7 and 6 is quite a game.
Who's next?
Deacon.
Deacon.
Deacon, go ahead, Deacon.
Hey, how's it going, Matt?
We're down here at PCB where UK students in spring break,
and the condo is just erupted.
I mean, we went absolutely ballistic.
They said they heard us.
I bet that would be fun.
It was absolutely unreal.
I'm actually, you know, there are a lot of places this game would have been fun.
I do bet a condo for UK fans on spring break.
That would have been a fun place to watch it, too.
Oh, it was unbelievable.
Mo Diabate is not a puppy.
He's a big dog, for show.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
I mean, Mo, we talked about it.
17 points, big shots, especially
in regulation there at the end.
And he hit some big free throws.
He did. Hit a three?
Hit a three again.
Yeah.
They stepped the free throw, and I'm thinking, oh, no.
You know, it's interesting.
If Colin Chandler just hits half of his
open threes, that we win this game easily.
Yeah.
You know, he just was off in the first
first five three-point attempts.
Yeah, I think he was, I think he was, what, one for eight
or something, but, but, you know,
we won.
So, who's next?
Matt
Matt
Go ahead
Matt
Matt
All right
Who's next
Oh I hung up on him
I'm sorry
All right
Go ahead
Mike is next
Mike
Mike
What's up guys
I just want to say
You know
You know
You gave Johnny Rocker
Doe away
And I get it
But I think I would
Give him to Garrison
And back
I don't think
We'll win this game
Without Garrison
He was awesome
You know
You know
I'd give him
Hell all year
That's the job
's on truth
I ain't gonna lie
But, you know, and I was frustrated with the old way of some of the shots he took in the midgame.
But, you know, we don't get too many moments like this.
This will be one we all remember forever, and we just got to build off this.
And I'm telling you right now, I think folks come to Kentucky, I think things change next year.
I really do.
I appreciate it.
I hope, thank you guys.
I hope you're right about that.
We will see.
But, I mean, Garrison, no one has taken more frustration than Brandon,
Certainly for me, I think I've said on here he might be my most frustrating player in a long time
But I also have I can't dislike him really because there's just something almost childlike about him
You know, and so it was great to see him have this game
I tell you what I admire about Brandon Garrison's that he was a starter got benched because of lack of effort a couple times
But then he ended up he picked it up after that like he didn't sit around and pout
It's like he became a better player coming off the baller
bench wanted to even figure out what his role was going to be i can't remember his exact wording but
pope was talking about away on the post game show and he said something like you know we go at it
sometimes i think their relationship's kind of interesting i think that pope loves the guy i also think
they kind of maybe fight a little and bicker yeah but uh you know they got to share that moment
there's a great video of pope's reaction to those shots it's awesome i haven't seen that yet
yeah it's on i just tweeted it out it's a very cool video you know calipari almost he welcomed that back
and forth he did but cal used to love to do it
He loved doing that.
And I think Cal kind of respected guys who would do it if you were good.
Now, if you weren't good, he didn't like that.
But if you were good, he would.
Who's next?
Matt is back.
Matt.
Matt, go ahead, Matt.
Hey, so where do we rank O-Way shot with Aaron Harrison's three big shots in 2014?
And then just the comment that I've noticed because our help side defense looks a little slow
and we switch too many ball streams and then we get caught underneath.
I think that hurts us a little bit, but our defense came up.
It did happen, but I actually think that was intentional.
I think they did not want to give up open threes.
So they were kind of making Santa Clara.
They were not rotating until the last second to kind of keep them from kicking out on threes.
I actually kind of agreed with that mindset.
The problem is they made some tough shots at the rim in that second half, which kind of hurt us.
Yeah, I think the health side sliding over is about a step too slow, especially with Marino,
but we recovered.
What about Pierre Rondo at North?
Is it too early to start recruiting him?
Oh, I think they're definitely recruiting Rondo's kid.
Are you kidding me?
Eighth grade and he scores 23 points in the state tournament?
I appreciate the call.
They're definitely going to recruit him.
Already have, probably.
Why not offer him now?
In a middle school kid, go ahead and make him the offer
because I wonder he's such an elite player
how many years he will actually play in Kentucky
before he gets shipped off to an overtime elite
in one of these other programs?
North Laurel nearly upset St. X.
St. X won, but North Laurel had a shot at the end to win.
North Laurel, they knocked off Warren Central in the first round, nearly took down the favorite St.
X. Did Grayson County win?
The Grayson County beat Great Crossing in the second game today.
Yes, 859-280-2287. We'll do one more. Who's next?
Bill.
Bill. Go ahead, Bill.
Hey, guys. First time, long time.
Who are? What's up?
Hey, I just got to tell a story.
My dad is in a rehabilitation nursing home, 91 years old.
I had to make a phone call to the establishment to make sure that they had the game on.
Okay.
They did get the game on.
Me and dad watched the game.
This game will go down in history as one of the greatest games that I ever watched
just because I was with my dad.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
This shop by O.A.
Well, this show by O.
Way will be remembered for 50 years, maybe 100.
And my and my dad got to watch it in person and love it.
That's awesome.
Well, thank you, sir.
God bless you and your dad.
That's a very cool story.
I love this stuff.
You know, there's obviously been a lot of negativity some this year.
And, you know, I understand that, some of that.
Obviously, we've had criticisms.
You know, there were stuff yesterday and all that.
With all that said, Kentucky fans at their core, they want moments like this.
This is what it's about.
We've just even the calls on this postgame show.
It's an example of what we've talked about.
And this is why I love doing this and talking to you is for moments like this.
And that's why I think it's such a cool day.
break. Come back. Final segment. It is the local toy dealers KSR post game show.
Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post game show. Final segment celebrating a huge
win in the bluegrass. We've had multiple days of these daylight shows where Terry Viner says to
sit there and wait on us until we finish. And I enjoy it, to be honest with you. And I enjoyed this
victory. So Iowa State looks like they're going to crush Tennessee State, Utah State Leeds
Villanova, Tennessee, up a couple on Miami of Ohio, and Bama looks like they are going to take out the pride.
You know, we said this last week in Nashville at the SEC tournament.
We as a fan base, we deserve these moments.
It's been a long time coming for us to have a moment where we could celebrate.
Got to celebrate with everybody at Tin Roof down there in Nashville.
Got to celebrate here at Sports and Social today in St. Louis.
We needed this.
I mean, if we can win Sunday, there's no reason not to think about it.
If we can win Sunday, then you go to Chicago and you play Friday.
night. I mean, we'll
have that Chicago arena
packed with people. We will.
We will have it absolutely
packed. You're going
to have to drink mine. I don't know.
You know, that's not my...
Thank you very much. This guy's bringing me drinks. He must
not be a listener. But that's...
Does anybody want this?
It's just lemonade. Oh, is it
lemonade? Well, shut up. It's not lemonade.
I don't want to... I don't want to...
You know he'll drink it right there.
Hey, come here, Mario.
you'll drink it oh you already got him one I'm sorry I can't do it but uh Ryan will
Brian will have Brian'll drink them both I'll drive you home right there you go
All right who's next Brian Brian Brian go ahead Brian how you guys doing just to elaborate kind of like
You were asking about the temperature it's 82 and the sun is shining bright on my old Kentucky home today oh that's great
That's what it is here too it's awesome
Yeah I just wanted to reiterate and say uh could you
guys would you say or not say that
Modi Abate's game today may be the best as a UK
Wildcalf that he's had. Maybe. I mean, I don't know. I can't
think of one better. I mean, I think he's been really good the last
10 games of the season or so this year. Yeah, I think
with, you know, his experience in NCAA, you know, and then him going
to the final four year, it seems like he just really enjoys his
spotlight. And I know down.
the stretch where no way you could tell he's getting a little fatigued playing all that time he came
up with some huge buckets and he was six of eight from the field he was six of eight from the field
he got huge you i think you're exactly right got huge buckets down the stretch there is something to be
said between him and bg like i said you know i mean oh wait not to downplay any part of his
game at all but between those two guys today if we didn't have them we definitely were to struggle
to win if not win.
I agree.
I appreciate the call.
I think we, I think one thing, like I said earlier,
to kind of validate some of Mark Pope's philosophy on this team.
Again, it has not been perfect.
I actually think, you know, it wasn't the best built roster.
But part of his thought process in Aberdeen and Diabate was those guys have tournament
experience.
They won't get rattled.
Aberdeen played 39 minutes, one turnover his point guard.
with a bouncy ball with a bouncy ball diabette uh 17 points eight boards and you know doing uh doing his thing
so i think you know part of what they part of what he thought was as we get down the stretch here
i want guys who've been through these wars and he had them and they showed up to that bringing brandon
garrison and diabate off the bench is quite a weapon he's got sitting over there and they both need to
have been playing the caller said they're best here during tournament time and i still think there's a
better game out there for Kentucky.
I do. I mean, I think that's your best from Colin Chandler yet at all.
You have not, and you really haven't gotten in the last few games a lot for Moreno.
Yep.
That's still out there to happen.
Still out there.
And so, you know, now, I mean, you've gotten, you're not going to get performances like
you got from O'A all that often, right?
He can't go for 35 on Sunday?
I mean, he could.
You probably don't want that.
You probably want them to have to.
You know, I mean, Kentucky had 29 points at have to.
Say it's 60 points in the last 25 minutes.
Yeah, our defense was doing the job.
Our offense stunk it up in the first half.
I'm sitting by an Iowa State fan, and he leans over and goes,
is this usually what UK tries to do offensively?
Just jack up three-pointers after a-off?
That was bad.
Were you in the crowd?
Yeah.
I sat with Bill Meck in the first half in the crowd.
Bill Meck?
I was a superstar lineup.
Well, Bill Meck, obviously, is a Kentucky fan, but he went to Iowa State.
So in between games, he had an Iowa State shirt on.
he was going to put on over his Kentucky shirt.
What's he going to do Sunday?
He's all Ohio State.
I mean, he's all Kentucky.
He's all Ohio State.
That would be a weird decision.
Iowa State was his college girlfriend.
U.K.'s his wife.
Okay.
All right, good.
Four more.
Who's next?
Thomas.
Thomas.
Thomas.
You guys have covered all the main points, but I would tell you,
Casino and Olsville's packed.
Diabate pulls up for a three-pointer.
Everybody's screaming, no.
He hits everybody.
That's how I was.
Yeah, that's how I was, dude.
That's exactly how I was.
No criticism.
There's nobody should criticize this game.
It was a memorable Kentucky victory in the NCAA tournament.
I totally agree with it.
Yep.
Appreciate the call.
I mean, you can say, we could have done this better, we could have done this better.
But there's one goal in March, and that's just a win.
And that's what they did.
Best Kentucky NCAA tournament wins since.
Houston.
That was a big big.
People forget.
That Houston team was good.
So that's 2018.
Has it been eight years?
19.
19?
19.
That's a long time to have a win like that.
That was a really good win because that Houston team was good.
And we had Hero and Johnson.
We didn't play particularly great, but made the plays down the stretch to get the win.
And then we thought had a great chance to go all the way because Carolina got upset.
And then we lost Auburn in the elite.
Auburn.
And had a chance to beat Auburn because one of their top players.
Yeah, one of their top players was out.
That's exactly.
I forgot about that.
Who's next?
Darrell.
Darrell, go ahead, Darrell.
Hey, Matt, how you doing, buddy?
Hey, first of all, this is Nolan's Popball, the one that was sneaking on his laptop the other day in class and listened to the game.
Oh, I love it.
I want to put it to rest on that final timeout.
I looked at the video, and Aberdeen is underneath the basket.
You can't see him on video, but he had already grabbed the ball before he kind of caught timeout.
I sold it down.
I stopped it.
I made it go, but he grabbed the ball.
and since he grabs him, he cannot call time out.
So if you look at a video.
Is that the rule?
100%.
See, I didn't know that was a rule.
Okay.
Call a time out.
Absolutely.
Well, if that's the rule, then that's, that's interesting.
I didn't, you taught me something because I didn't know that's what the rule was if you
grab the ball.
Because you're right, he does have the ball.
Exactly.
You take the video and you keep hitting the stop button.
So Aberdeen picked that ball up.
I love this.
It's a peruter film.
Herb's hand has not extended his timeout.
I've watched it several times with everything sneaks out.
You can't see it on video.
He's got the ball because the referee didn't pull it to him, so he grabs the ball,
and Herb's not quite done that motion for a timeout yet.
So that imbounded referee on the end.
So you know what?
Herb did not deserve the timeout.
I appreciate that.
He did not deserve it.
I'm going to assume you're telling me the truth, sir.
I appreciate the call because I want to believe Darrell, I think was his name.
I want to believe him.
If the rule is that when you grab the ball, they can't call time out.
It is true.
Aberdeen did have the ball in his hand.
So if that's the case, then it was too late for Sendek to call.
I must trust that guy knows the rule because I didn't know that was the rule.
Only Kentucky fans are going to break down a film like this at the end of a game
to see if the guy got a chance to call a timeout.
I hadn't seen Herb Sindack in about 25 years, and I would not have known that was Herb Sendeck.
Yeah.
I had not seen him since I think, what, did he coach NC State?
NC State.
I think that was the last time I'd seen him,
so I didn't even realize that was him.
He's been to Santa Clara for what, 9, 10 years, something like that, I think.
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
I thought if you had told me where is Herb Sinde?
I would not have known, and now I do.
Who's next?
Mike.
I will actually do three more.
Mike, go ahead, Mike.
Is this me?
Yes.
If you're Mike.
Come on?
Yes.
Hey, this is Mike.
Hey, I just wanted to call and say, I love your.
show and I love Ryan Lemon too he's a good guy and uh well I've got one statement
How about them cats?
C-A-T-S.
C-A-T-S, cat, cat, cat, cat.
C-A-T-S, cat, cat.
Go to lose.
We ain't done yet.
Appreciate it, man.
I love to show.
Appreciate it.
Thank you, sir.
Ryan Lemon is a good guy.
And you've got to be hot in that shirt.
I'm sweating down my boxer shorts right now sitting here in the sun right now.
Again, we had a deal.
You weren't going to mention that word.
Boxer shorts?
Anything having to do with undergarments.
You're not going to mention.
Who's next?
Brandon.
Brandon.
Go ahead, Brandon.
Hey, guys.
I just want to say
why the hell of the game that was.
I was one of the unlucky few that had to work,
and I'll tell you why I had it on my phone.
I had the radio going.
I had customers backed up for 30 minutes after that last little bit
going into overtime, and it was all worth it.
And I just want to say.
Make them wait.
I agree.
Like, listen, if they're not watching the game, that's on them.
They need to wait.
They should even, yeah.
They shouldn't even been out running around.
I hope Billy gets feeling better.
I love the pre-show and the K-Sar show.
Just a great win.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you very much.
We'll do one more, and then we'll call it a day
and spend the next 36 hours getting excited
until we have to play again.
Who's next?
Tanner.
Tanner.
Tanner.
Hey, Billy.
First of all, I hope you feel better, buddy.
Matt and Ryan, I'm glad you guys are saying what you're saying.
This is what March is all about.
There's going to be time to,
questions, substitutions, recruiting classes.
It ain't today.
Today's a day to be an out-of-control cats fan.
And speaking of which, Josh, you gave up on the cats two months ago.
It ain't too late, buddy.
We're playing Sunday.
Come down to the B-list.
I'll buy your beer because if it's March and the cats are playing and you ain't watching,
then what are you really doing?
I totally agree with you.
Thank you very much.
And Josh, get your tail down to the B-list.
And thank you all very much, all of you that are here.
We really appreciate it, especially for sticking around in this heat.
Listen, this is why you're a fan.
For wins like this and games like today, you can put everything else aside.
There'll be plenty of time, as he said, to talk about rosters and talk about this and talk about that.
For today, Kentucky gets a huge win.
Otega O'A makes a shot that all of us will remember for the rest of our lives,
and the cats move on, and who knows what happens on Sunday?
My guess, just a complete guess, is St. John's and Kansas win.
We'll probably play at 2.30 on Sunday Eastern.
If St. Johns or Kansas loses, we might be 5.5.30.
That's just a guess, though.
They won't announce it until late tonight after the games.
Thank you all very much.
Billy, go get to feeling better, so Sunday you're 100%.
We'll be on the pregame show.
Whatever time the game is, two and a half hours before that, we will be on the air.
later. The cats win. This has been the local
