Speaker 1: It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I don't know who the hell we think
Speaker 2: when we.
Speaker 1: Are get off our show, idiots.
Speaker 2: The kids are crying or trail off crying.
Speaker 1: The countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother,
Speaker 1: gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 3: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 3: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you
Speaker 3: kidding me?
Speaker 2: Now? Here's nick coffee. I've been gassing up the weather
Speaker 2: over these last last few days because it has been warmer.
Speaker 2: Even yesterday, when it was gloomy and kind of nasty,
Speaker 2: it was at least warm and not you know, five
Speaker 2: degrees outside like we had last week. But today, my goodness,
Speaker 2: what an absolutely beautiful day. It's sixty or fifty nine depending.
Speaker 2: I think my car said fifty nine, phone says sixty degrees.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, it feels great. And that's actually not
Speaker 2: that warm. But in January, in fact, the last day
Speaker 2: of January, and really how brutal January was with weather,
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I will take it all right. It's
Speaker 2: coffee and Company. We are fueled by Thornton's here on
Speaker 2: Sports Talk seven to ninety Nick Coffee, that is me,
Speaker 2: and we are wrapping up not only a week, another
Speaker 2: week here to get you set for the weekend. Happy Friday, everybody.
Speaker 2: We're also ending the month of January January thirty first,
Speaker 2: And I feel like I've heard this over the years,
Speaker 2: but I've never really I've never really been on the
Speaker 2: same page. I've never argued about it. But I feel
Speaker 2: like in my adult life there's always been at least
Speaker 2: somebody that I work with that I know, maybe a
Speaker 2: family member that has gone out of their way to say, man,
Speaker 2: I cannot believe how long January lasted. It felt like
Speaker 2: it lasted forever, and there are thirty one days, so
Speaker 2: it is a long month. But this is the first
Speaker 2: time I can I can tell you that when I
Speaker 2: reflect on the month and look back, things that happened,
Speaker 2: like even in the middle of the month, I swear
Speaker 2: to you, they feel like happened six months ago. And look,
Speaker 2: it was a good month. I mean, let's be real.
Speaker 2: When it comes to Louisville basketball, is it an exaggeration?
Speaker 2: Is it a stretch to say that it might be
Speaker 2: one of the best months the program has had as
Speaker 2: far as just you know, the vibe, the energy. I mean,
Speaker 2: let's be real, going, you know, going undefeated in January
Speaker 2: is good regardless. And yes, the ACC has not given
Speaker 2: you a whole lot of real, big, valuable wins in
Speaker 2: this month that Louisville's been able to just run through
Speaker 2: it without a loss, But given the circumstances, given the
Speaker 2: recent history, I mean, that has not impacted how much
Speaker 2: I've been able to enjoy it. So it's it's the
Speaker 2: end of January, and I you know, it did seem
Speaker 2: like it lasted forever, and we had some some weird
Speaker 2: weeks with weather getting in the way and whatnot. But
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I will absolutely take it.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: If you guys want to be part of the show today,
Speaker 2: you can five O two five five two five seven
Speaker 2: one seventy nine. Let me start over again. I'll get
Speaker 2: you my phone number. Rhythm was really out of out
Speaker 2: of it. There no rhythm at all. I don't know
Speaker 2: what happened. I'm looking up, uh, I'm looking up the
Speaker 2: kin palm because and I'll get back on track in
Speaker 2: just a second. But let me give you an example.
Speaker 2: When Louisville played Syracuse in basketball that was on the
Speaker 2: fourteenth of January. That was just a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: That feels like it was. I mean, I tell you what,
Speaker 2: it feels like it was six months ago. But anyways,
Speaker 2: that's where I just kind of randomly asked myself a
Speaker 2: question in my head and then sometimes I end up
Speaker 2: blurting it out on the air, and then I just
Speaker 2: I for lack of being able to focus, I suppose
Speaker 2: I just can't help myself. I gotta go, you know,
Speaker 2: I gotta go figure out what what date, what number,
Speaker 2: what stat what fact? I just kind of couldn't couldn't
Speaker 2: quite grasp. But anyways, phone number rhythm, right, you give
Speaker 2: the area code. I mean it's uh uh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: There's actually a really good Seinfeld bid on it. And
Speaker 2: I think also Kevin James King of Queen's has a
Speaker 2: good bit, uh just talking about phone number rhythm. Like
Speaker 2: if you try to give somebody a phone number without
Speaker 2: following the five oh two, five to seven to one
Speaker 2: seventy nine hundred, I mean, they're going to think you're
Speaker 2: giving them like the combination for a lock or something
Speaker 2: like imagine saying phone number here is five oh two.
Speaker 2: All right, let's just start with this. Let's it's it's
Speaker 2: five uh two five seven to one nine zero zero zero.
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure if I said that correctly, but
Speaker 2: like again, rhythm is key when it comes to the number.
Speaker 2: So if you want to call us five oh two,
Speaker 2: five seven one seventy nine hundred, that is the number.
Speaker 2: And if you want a text in on the Llen
Speaker 2: and Federal Credit Union text line, you can five O
Speaker 2: two six five three zero seven ninety. And I'm at
Speaker 2: I am looking forward to this weekend. But I do
Speaker 2: have a little bit of fomo. And trust me, this
Speaker 2: is not a complaint. At times, I really don't do
Speaker 2: myself any favors because for years I was I was
Speaker 2: labeled by many and I understood why, but I was
Speaker 2: labeled as the negative guy because you know, I just
Speaker 2: I can't sit here and tell you that it's you know,
Speaker 2: that it's something that it's not right this, first of all,
Speaker 2: wouldn't be good at it, and it wouldn't be fun
Speaker 2: and it would not be genuine. So having to talk
Speaker 2: about the previous few seasons and just be honest about
Speaker 2: it and do it really every day for two years
Speaker 2: and it didn't lead. I mean, it wasn't something we
Speaker 2: talked about every second of every show. But obviously I
Speaker 2: don't see a scenario where anybody with a platform like this,
Speaker 2: a drivetime sports talk radio show in a market here
Speaker 2: in Louisville, where we're not talking louisvill basketball. But obviously
Speaker 2: there wasn't good things to talk about really in any way,
Speaker 2: So I'm not I want to be more mindful on
Speaker 2: my end. I need to be when it comes to just,
Speaker 2: you know, throwing out these random complaints because it's not
Speaker 2: like I'm trying to be negative, and I'm really not
Speaker 2: bothered by anything when it comes to Louisville basketball right now.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see them go on the road tomorrow
Speaker 2: and take on Georgia Tech and hopefully extend their wind
Speaker 2: streak to eleven. But man, you've got some absolutely monster
Speaker 2: matchups in college basketball this weekend. I don't know if
Speaker 2: this was strategic, but I kind of feel like it
Speaker 2: was because I feel like, well, this weekend, I believe
Speaker 2: is actually as good as we've had in a long
Speaker 2: time when it comes to just big time matchups. But
Speaker 2: usually this weekend the weekend before the Super Bowl, which
Speaker 2: by the way, this is the first weekend I believe in.
Speaker 2: I mean, this has got to be the first weekend
Speaker 2: since before we got our first college football game that
Speaker 2: we've had a weekend with no football. And yes, the
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl will do what the Pro Bowl does. I
Speaker 2: still don't know why that event exists. I mean I
Speaker 2: do know why. I mean it's quite literally just for money,
Speaker 2: meaning we make fun of it. It is a waste
Speaker 2: of time. I mean, really, all professional all star games,
Speaker 2: I mean, in my opinion, like they don't do much
Speaker 2: for me at all. They don't interest me in any way,
Speaker 2: but they interest enough people to where when they put
Speaker 2: it on television, a lot of people still watch, even
Speaker 2: though they know it's not a real game. It probably
Speaker 2: won't give you the entertainment value that you're expecting. When
Speaker 2: people are willing to tune in at a high high rate,
Speaker 2: advertisers are going to sell advertisements and it's going to
Speaker 2: be a money maker. It's like these Bowl games that
Speaker 2: people want to get rid of. No Bowl games are
Speaker 2: going to stick around because, believe it or not, as
Speaker 2: much as it just seems like a waste of time,
Speaker 2: glorified exhibition, people still watch and there's still money that
Speaker 2: can be made, so the Pro Bowl will never go away.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I wouldn't call it a football game.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's not that right. I honestly should admit
Speaker 2: this to you as somebody who you know hosts a
Speaker 2: sports talk show. I'm not even really sure what the
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl is anymore. I know they have an event
Speaker 2: players go, and they do like skills competitions, but I
Speaker 2: feel like they haven't actually had a game in a while.
Speaker 2: But I could totally be wrong. So this is a
Speaker 2: good window for college basketball to kind of step in
Speaker 2: with a loaded weekend of games and just kind of say, hey,
Speaker 2: super Bowls next week. We know it's a big deal,
Speaker 2: but once that ends, come and check us out because
Speaker 2: we've got you know, we've got some good stuff going here.
Speaker 2: College basketball will never get the viewership that college football
Speaker 2: and the NFL gets, and that's okay, But I'm always
Speaker 2: a big advocate for college hoops. I wish more people
Speaker 2: enjoyed it. And then I get, you know, I look
Speaker 2: at people like they're crazy. How could you not love
Speaker 2: college basketball? How could you not be romantic about this sport?
Speaker 2: But you know, it's an acquired taste and it's not
Speaker 2: as if it's got the following you know of some
Speaker 2: obscure sport, but it just it's kind of in its
Speaker 2: own lane, right Like it's it's very very much not
Speaker 2: in competition with college football or the NFL for that matter.
Speaker 2: But there are certain games that'll that'll do better than
Speaker 2: you might expect going up against I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: an NBA game or something like that. So when I
Speaker 2: said I I was a little bummed. Is that I
Speaker 2: just wish Louisville's game was featured as one of these
Speaker 2: big time matchups. But even if Louisville was a top
Speaker 2: five team, which they're not, the ACC is not given
Speaker 2: any of the good teams in the ACC, which there
Speaker 2: aren't many. I mean, Louisville will not play a team
Speaker 2: the rest of the way that's going to really give
Speaker 2: them any value when it comes to the resume. And
Speaker 2: I don't bring it up to say that, but listen
Speaker 2: to these matchups this weekend in college hoops, North Carolina
Speaker 2: at Duke. Obviously, that's one of the biggest games you'll
Speaker 2: get every year in college hoops. That tips off at
Speaker 2: six thirty. Of course, College game Day going to be
Speaker 2: there at Duke. Duke is I believe I checked it out.
Speaker 2: There were only a few spreads available earlier today when
Speaker 2: I was looking for tomorrow's action, and this one was
Speaker 2: one of them. Yeah, actually I think it's gone up.
Speaker 2: I think it was minus eleven and a half. Maybe
Speaker 2: I'm wrong here. Actually, yeah, that was Kentucky. So Duke
Speaker 2: is thirteen and a half point favorites. By the way,
Speaker 2: Kentucky eleven and a half point favorites against Arkansas. But anyways,
Speaker 2: looking at the rest of these games, you've got Florida
Speaker 2: and Tennessee. That's number five vers Number eight. That should
Speaker 2: be an absolute phenomenal game. And Florida they're clearly one
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the country. They're off to
Speaker 2: a really good start. I believe they have now surpassed
Speaker 2: the I think they're currently in the midst of their
Speaker 2: best start in program history. And again, this is a
Speaker 2: program that not that long ago one well, I guess
Speaker 2: it was a long time ago. That makes me feel old.
Speaker 2: I was say when that long ago? It's nearly twenty years.
Speaker 2: But they did win two consecutive national championships, and they're
Speaker 2: off to a better start than they've ever had, so
Speaker 2: their first loss, though, did come. I'm sorry, No, Tennessee's
Speaker 2: first loss came against Florida. So now Florida is making
Speaker 2: the trip to Knoxville, where this Tennessee team, a team
Speaker 2: that I still believe is really good. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to do the thing where well, Kentucky beat them in Knoxville,
Speaker 2: so now I'm gonna act like they're not that good.
Speaker 2: Trust me, no, because I mean, we saw what Tennessee
Speaker 2: did to Louisville earlier this year, and I know Louisville
Speaker 2: wasn't isn't the same team now as they were then,
Speaker 2: But either way, Tennessee is due for a win in
Speaker 2: a major way. This is one of those games where
Speaker 2: Florida is not a bad loss. But if you drop
Speaker 2: three in a row, you'll still be able to say
Speaker 2: all three losses were to top twenty teams, but you
Speaker 2: also slipped up and lost to Vanderbilt on the eighteenth.
Speaker 2: So a loss here would give Tennessee four out of
Speaker 2: five losses. No bad losses, still a great resume when
Speaker 2: it comes to the metrics, But I would imagine that
Speaker 2: at that point they're clearly dropping seed lines right like
Speaker 2: they're they're probably looking more so like a three. If
Speaker 2: in fact they slip up here and if they win,
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of makes you look at their
Speaker 2: previous two losses all weron in Kentucky, and not to
Speaker 2: say that they don't matter, but I mean Kentucky right
Speaker 2: now is a good example of what the SEC can
Speaker 2: give you. And what it is is you can slip
Speaker 2: up and have games where you lose to a Georgia,
Speaker 2: lose to a Vandy on the road, and then you
Speaker 2: lose at home to a really good Alabama team in
Speaker 2: a close game. Well, you know you don't want to
Speaker 2: lose those games. And obviously Vandy is a quad one loss,
Speaker 2: but certainly you know it's it's not the same kind
Speaker 2: of loss as losing to an Alabama or even a
Speaker 2: Tennessee when you play them again. But when you're still
Speaker 2: when you're also mixing in a road win at Mississippi State,
Speaker 2: a home win at Texas A and M, a road
Speaker 2: win at Tennessee, a home win at Florida, you could
Speaker 2: kind of you kind of stay status quo, right. I mean,
Speaker 2: in fact, we'll get to the later. But the real
Speaker 2: stain on Kentucky's resume, I mean, it doesn't exist yet.
Speaker 2: But tomorrow, I mean Arkansas, that loss would hurt them
Speaker 2: really just because of the situation right because of the
Speaker 2: return from Caliperi. But it would also be the first
Speaker 2: time anybody would be able to say, well, Okay, they
Speaker 2: do have a bad loss, because right now they have
Speaker 2: no bad losses, not even really close. Ohio State probably
Speaker 2: not a tournament team or maybe borderline maybe they get there.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they're still top twenty five in
Speaker 2: the NET so therefore a neutral site loss for Kentucky
Speaker 2: doesn't hurt them that much. So anyways, back to the schedule,
Speaker 2: this is a big game that I'm going to be
Speaker 2: interested to watch because I know I actually do go
Speaker 2: I go on my way to watch Big East games
Speaker 2: because I still think it's a good league and even
Speaker 2: though it's not the same Big East, and Louisville hasn't
Speaker 2: been in that league in a long time, I guess
Speaker 2: there's some nostalgia. But Marquette and Yukon, so Marquette probably,
Speaker 2: in fact, I would say they're easily the best team
Speaker 2: in the Big East right now. Shaka Smart's got himself
Speaker 2: a really good team, but elsewhere in the Big East.
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about it earlier this week the
Speaker 2: Big East Good League. I mean, I think Rick's always
Speaker 2: going to have a dangerous team in March, and Saint
Speaker 2: John's has really put themselves in a good spot as
Speaker 2: of right now. At the end of January, I mean,
Speaker 2: they should be able to cruise to a top three
Speaker 2: finish in that league and certainly maybe find themselves as
Speaker 2: a top four seed. So, you know, Marquette is tied
Speaker 2: for first with Saint John's, but obviously Marquet's got a
Speaker 2: better resume. But Yukon, I mean, Danny Hurley, don't. I
Speaker 2: don't know what this says about Yukon, but if he
Speaker 2: was as big of a superstar and he is, Look,
Speaker 2: the guy has back to back national championships. Now, who knows,
Speaker 2: maybe he wins another one. It doesn't look like that's
Speaker 2: going to be likely at this point. But with their
Speaker 2: big drop this year where they're still clearly not they're
Speaker 2: so clearly not what they were the previous two seasons,
Speaker 2: and the way he's kind of behaved, I mean, I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like it would be a bigger story. Therefore,
Speaker 2: there's just something weird about you, and I guess maybe
Speaker 2: it's the fact that they aren't on ESPN anymore because
Speaker 2: the Big East has no relationship with the ESPN, or
Speaker 2: maybe it's because I mean, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: But Yukon has everything you would you would want, or
Speaker 2: everything you need to in order to claim your blue blood.
Speaker 2: I mean, they have more titles. And I'm thirty six
Speaker 2: years old. They've won more national championships in my time
Speaker 2: on Earth than anybody else, and they've done it in
Speaker 2: different eras. I mean, they went back to back, which
Speaker 2: is a rare thing. Like they are a They're absolutely
Speaker 2: a blue blood in every aspect, I would say, but
Speaker 2: it just doesn't feel like they get the same blue
Speaker 2: blood treatment. And I don't know what it is. But
Speaker 2: if Yukon falls, which they may, because again we're talking
Speaker 2: about a really good Marquette team, I mean they would.
Speaker 2: I mean they're already outside of the top twenty five.
Speaker 2: You know, they don't really have I guess any well, Yeah,
Speaker 2: their losses in the in the Maui Invitational don't look
Speaker 2: as good now as they did when they occurred. But
Speaker 2: they lost a nova non tournament team Xavier, who looks
Speaker 2: like they're on the outside looking in. They needed over
Speaker 2: time to beat a Butler team that's barely in the
Speaker 2: top one hundred. Close call against a bad Georgetown teams.
Speaker 2: So I kind of feel like these next two games
Speaker 2: for Dan Hurley, Marquette and Saint John's, that's who they
Speaker 2: play these next two games. I mean, if they lose
Speaker 2: both of them, yeah, it's not bad losses by any means,
Speaker 2: but like, what's your ceiling the rest of the way
Speaker 2: as far as what you can do on what you
Speaker 2: can get on as far as the seed. So again,
Speaker 2: that game will be at eight o'clock on Fox, and
Speaker 2: then of course Kentucky Arkansas. We all know what that
Speaker 2: game is and we'll get to that a little bit
Speaker 2: later on a nine o'clock tip on ESPN. And then
Speaker 2: another big game Kansas and Baylor. That game is at
Speaker 2: four o'clock. So other games that don't have I guess
Speaker 2: the same pizzazz as far as big brand names. But
Speaker 2: Texas Tech they're hot as can be. They're playing really
Speaker 2: good basketball, clearly one of the better teams in the
Speaker 2: Big Twelve. They're going to be on the road at Houston,
Speaker 2: and what do you know, Kelvin Sampson doing what Kelvin
Speaker 2: Sampson does wins conferences. I mean, Houston ended up making
Speaker 2: the move to the Big Twelve? Was it two years ago?
Speaker 2: I guess this is their second year, but last year,
Speaker 2: I mean, Houston is a team that who knows what
Speaker 2: they would have done had their best guard not got
Speaker 2: hurt in the tournament. But Houston enters the Big Twelve
Speaker 2: in a year that everybody claimed, this is the best
Speaker 2: conference we have ever seen, and then you know, the
Speaker 2: SEC happened this year, and I guess you can't claim
Speaker 2: that because I think the SEC this year is better.
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, Houston in their first year makes the jump
Speaker 2: from American Athletic Conference to the Big twelve and a
Speaker 2: year where that league as a monster and they win it,
Speaker 2: and sure enough, right now they're in the driver's seat.
Speaker 2: But this Texas Tech team, I'm telling you, it's North
Speaker 2: Texas's head coach, who well, he was North Texas head
Speaker 2: coach and then he took the job at Houston, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: at Texas Tech. And he's one of those guys. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to compare him to Pat Kelsey because I
Speaker 2: just don't know enough about him to know if that's
Speaker 2: a good comparison or not. But he wins he was
Speaker 2: successful at North Texas and he has now taken his
Speaker 2: same formula up brought it to Lubbock. Grant McCasland and
Speaker 2: his team is sitting at sixteen four and expected to
Speaker 2: be one of the top teams in the Big Twelve.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't pick the upset here just because Houston is
Speaker 2: a really good team, but by the way, Houston up
Speaker 2: to number one in the Kenpom now, and then Auburn
Speaker 2: Ole miss That's another game in the afternoon that's a
Speaker 2: ranked matchup Missoo Mississippi State. That's the top twenty match up,
Speaker 2: and then some late night action that probably doesn't interest
Speaker 2: you unless you're just a big time college basketball fan.
Speaker 2: But Gonzaga will play at Saint Mary's. Gonzaga in a
Speaker 2: rare year where they're still going to make the tournament
Speaker 2: because they just load up in the non conference. But
Speaker 2: you know, they've lost more games in league play as
Speaker 2: of now than I feel like they ever have, and
Speaker 2: it's not many, but again, they usually run their league
Speaker 2: and they haven't been able to do it. But Saint
Speaker 2: Mary's also a team that has really kind of followed
Speaker 2: the same blueprint that Gonzaga has and that's we're going
Speaker 2: to load up and play as many great teams as
Speaker 2: we can before we get to conference play. We may
Speaker 2: take our lumps, and Saint Mary's did that early, but
Speaker 2: now they're playing really good basketball, and you know they're
Speaker 2: strategic about their scheduling, just like Gonzaga is. Where Hey,
Speaker 2: if we play all these really good teams in the
Speaker 2: non conference and we win a couple and maybe we're
Speaker 2: competitive in the others, and then we get to our
Speaker 2: league and we beat teams by thirty and forty, we'll
Speaker 2: still get to the end of the year with not
Speaker 2: a whole lot of impressive quad one and quad twos.
Speaker 2: But man, we beat up on the bums in our league,
Speaker 2: and the metrics still like us. I mean, it's quite
Speaker 2: clear which teams, you know, strategically know how mean they
Speaker 2: know how to use the system to their advantage. And
Speaker 2: then you've got teams out there like Wake Forest that
Speaker 2: are you know, using the system to a disadvantage in
Speaker 2: my opinion, which real quick, I want to want to
Speaker 2: mention this before we move on, because we got to
Speaker 2: get to a break and we are going to be
Speaker 2: joined coming up here on the other side. An early
Speaker 2: guest for us. But that's okay, it's all right. It's
Speaker 2: certainly a guest that we are excited to bring in
Speaker 2: we join. He's joined this season. Every week it's Ken
Speaker 2: Spencer from WHS eleven. He'll be with us around three thirty.
Speaker 2: But when it comes to just you know, strength to schedule, resume,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, this really doesn't matter in regards
Speaker 2: to anything this season. But anytime I start to think, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe some of you guys are right, maybe I am
Speaker 2: a little too hard on the ACCY, I'm maybe I'm
Speaker 2: really extra here when it comes to just acknowledging and
Speaker 2: really being vocal about how is anybody else paying attention?
Speaker 2: This league went from being the elite of the elite
Speaker 2: to now it's bad. And I still believe that maybe
Speaker 2: I mentioned it more than I should. But then I
Speaker 2: see things like this and it's like, no, Nick, you're right,
Speaker 2: keep hammering it home, because there's got to be something
Speaker 2: done for this league to get out of the gutter.
Speaker 2: But the longest droughts in college basketball from the Power
Speaker 2: Conference teams right, we're talking Power five, right, the Power
Speaker 2: Four in football, and then the Big East in basketball.
Speaker 2: The ten teams with the longest drought being ranked in
Speaker 2: the top twenty five. Seven of the ten are in
Speaker 2: the ACC. I mean, think about that. I mean Stanford, Yes,
Speaker 2: they're in the ACC. They don't necessarily mean they count,
Speaker 2: but it feels weird. I get it, but Stanford hasn't
Speaker 2: been ranked since the the final poll of the two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight season. Boston College hasn't been ranked since
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, Georgia Tech hasn't been ranked since
Speaker 2: twenty ten, same for wake Forest. Cal hasn't been ranked
Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen. SMU hasn't been ranked since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: And Notre Dame a program that was once legitimately a
Speaker 2: top dog to an extent, not necessarily cutting down nets
Speaker 2: or final fours, but like Notre Dame was a consistent
Speaker 2: top twenty five team for a long time, and then
Speaker 2: you know they weren't, and now they haven't been in
Speaker 2: seven years because they haven't been ranked since December of
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. So I none you can do about it,
Speaker 2: But I guess more than anything, I just need to
Speaker 2: remind myself, Hey, not ideal, but it's been a benefit
Speaker 2: to Louisville, right, I mean, I'm willing to acknowledge they
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have gone undefeated if the ACC, I mean
Speaker 2: undefeated in January, if the ACC looked like it did
Speaker 2: ten years ago. So that's a plus. All right, quick break,
Speaker 2: We'll keep this thing rolling along. It's Coffee and Company,
Speaker 2: a Friday edition. We are fueled by Thornton's right here
Speaker 2: on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee on

Speaker 2: It's right, it's Coffee and Company. We are fueled by

Speaker 2: perks that come with it, like the Frequency Club, and
Speaker 2: they give away a lot of great, great prizes to

Speaker 2: years ago, I think it was free fuel for an
Speaker 2: entire year for a handful of different winners. So that's
Speaker 2: just an example of why you should be signing up
Speaker 2: if you haven't already. All right. Ken Spencer from Whas
Speaker 2: eleven joins us here on a Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Let's just get right into it with Arkansas. I mean,
Speaker 2: Col's team clearly not in a good place, not looking
Speaker 2: like a tournament team at all. If you'd told me
Speaker 2: before the season started that he'd be in this position,
Speaker 2: I would have sitt, now, they won't be that bad.
Speaker 2: But now that we're actually here, I wouldn't have predicted it.
Speaker 2: But I can't say I'm totally surprised.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably agree with you. You know, for me,
Speaker 1: it all comes it all came down to and this
Speaker 1: was his last last few years in Kentucky. So everybody
Speaker 1: kind of wants to like point the finger at where
Speaker 1: like the slide really started. I think with John Caliperry
Speaker 1: at Kentucky, And if you ask me, I think the.
Speaker 3: Slide started it for during COVID.
Speaker 1: And I think that because he couldn't leave the house,
Speaker 1: because he couldn't, you know, go all over the country, flies,
Speaker 1: the recruiting, you know, everything that he does works like
Speaker 1: a man man because he couldn't do that for some
Speaker 1: odd reason. I just don't think his work ethic is
Speaker 1: the same as what it used to be. And I
Speaker 1: also don't think that he has surrounded himself with the
Speaker 1: proper staff that is willing to tell him you need
Speaker 1: to change and you need to do certain things. I
Speaker 1: think he's got a lot of people next to him
Speaker 1: that is just kind of along for the ride. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense? Oh?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, That was actually gonna be my next question as
Speaker 2: far as that, that seems to be something that everybody acknowledges,
Speaker 2: even those that are kind of maybe still maybe not
Speaker 2: close to him, but connected to him in some ways,
Speaker 2: that he just can't quite grasp that, like he needs
Speaker 2: better resources around him.
Speaker 1: Yes, And you know, and even when even when they
Speaker 1: were humming, like I've I sat because every now and
Speaker 1: again we would we would the media would be invited
Speaker 1: to go watch a practice or whatever. So I've probably
Speaker 1: sat through, like you know, like over the years, maybe
Speaker 1: like four or five practices. Right, Like he runs the
Speaker 1: whole thing like nobody else basically says too many words
Speaker 1: like he just controls, He just controls everything, and so
Speaker 1: and sometimes I think, like you have a staff for
Speaker 1: a reason, they needed to coach as well, and so.
Speaker 2: For the greater good of everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just think that like you know, COVID,
Speaker 1: you know, he took the foot off the gas and
Speaker 1: man once the foot's off the gas, it's really hard
Speaker 1: to put it down to be the grinder that you
Speaker 1: really need to be to be able to see your faults.
Speaker 3: And that's why I think things.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and and like, let's not they
Speaker 1: were pretty good last year and they've and they've had
Speaker 1: you know, good moments or whatever.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if they were as good as
Speaker 3: they should have been last year? Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Even though I mean, you know, you take the Oakland
Speaker 1: loss out of the picture and stuff like that, like
Speaker 1: that was a that was a pretty good team last year.
Speaker 1: That was a pretty fun team with some of the
Speaker 1: pieces that they had, but they they probably should have
Speaker 1: been a little better.
Speaker 2: You know, I would not only I would not only agree.
Speaker 2: I think it was the It was the most obvious
Speaker 2: thing to even casual basketball. I mean, I guess you'd
Speaker 2: probably be a big Kentucky fan, but just somebody who
Speaker 2: knows basketball just a little bit could watch them play
Speaker 2: and tell you there's like certain lineup combinations, there's certain
Speaker 2: things you could do in your winning and you're good,
Speaker 2: but man, you could probably be a lot better, you know,
Speaker 2: if you had guys like Dillingham and Reeves and Shepherd
Speaker 2: on the floor at the same time. I mean it,
Speaker 2: you know, if you didn't want to play so many
Speaker 2: bigs together. And it sounds crazy to think, well, he
Speaker 2: knew that fans wanted that, and he's so stubborn, so
Speaker 2: he wouldn't do it. I mean that sounds like, of
Speaker 2: course nobody would do that. But then again, like I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like that's how he's wired and the
Speaker 2: way things were headed in the last few years of
Speaker 2: his time in Lexington. I kind of feel like the
Speaker 2: last thing he was going to do was was budge.
Speaker 2: He was going to be I mean almost kind of
Speaker 2: in your face that he's going to do what he
Speaker 2: wants to do, regardless what anybody else thinks.
Speaker 1: Everything I've heard about him is he's very stubborn and
Speaker 1: when he gets dug in, he stays dug in. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think you know he wants to do it.
Speaker 1: Oh you think I should do it this way, Well,
Speaker 1: then I'm going to do it this way, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to force myself to do it this way. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Because because I just want to
Speaker 1: tell you were wrong. I think you know, from from
Speaker 1: a lot of that from what I've heard. I think
Speaker 1: that's very much his mindset. And by the way, like
Speaker 1: when I was in those practices years and years ago,
Speaker 1: like like dude.
Speaker 3: Could coach like you know he was. He's a Hall
Speaker 3: of Famer for a reason.
Speaker 1: But sometimes like you just got to be able to
Speaker 1: still be the be the grinder and have that same mindset.
Speaker 1: And I just don't think that he has that. And
Speaker 1: that's not to say that they don't. They still at
Speaker 1: Arkansas don't have a talented team. I don't know if
Speaker 1: the piece is fit, but that's still a very talented
Speaker 1: team that they have.
Speaker 3: So could they could they could they get a couple
Speaker 3: of games that maybe they shouldn't get.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, I think what you just mentioned about him
Speaker 2: being a good coach, I mean there's no scenario that
Speaker 2: you can I mean, even if you are somebody that
Speaker 2: takes three teams to a Final four like he did
Speaker 2: and people claim, well, he didn't do any real strategic stuff.
Speaker 2: It's just getting players that still is included in being
Speaker 2: a good coach and getting those guys to to to
Speaker 2: to play hard for you. I mean there's some guys
Speaker 2: that have played for cal that they were not as
Speaker 2: disciplined and probably didn't, you know, really, I mean, he
Speaker 2: was able to get more out of them in the
Speaker 2: brief time he had them than anybody else did. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think DeMarcus Cousins, who was a phenomenal pro I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like he was at his best when he
Speaker 2: was at Kentucky as far as some of the other stuff.
Speaker 2: So what I'm getting at is one of the things
Speaker 2: that maybe it's not a strategic thing as far as
Speaker 2: X's and O's, but it was consistent throughout his entire
Speaker 2: time in Lexington. Games like tomorrow, which this is a
Speaker 2: different element as far as him going back to a
Speaker 2: place where he just left, but big games like this
Speaker 2: where there's a lot of Jews, a lot of energy.
Speaker 2: I feel like ninety nine percent of the time, even
Speaker 2: if they didn't win, they came ready to play. Every
Speaker 2: team he had, gay teams that weren't good, would would
Speaker 2: find a way to come ready to play. And I
Speaker 2: don't think what I watched at Arkansas, what I've watched
Speaker 2: at Arkansas this year tells me that they're going to
Speaker 2: do that. But I guess it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 2: if they come ready to play and maybe play one
Speaker 2: of their better games of the season. However, even if
Speaker 2: they do that, I still think this Kentucky team has
Speaker 2: proven to be much better right well.
Speaker 1: And like everybody kind of needs to underst and when
Speaker 1: I say everybody, like both teams, like these Arkansas players
Speaker 1: are probably going to be more motivated for this game
Speaker 1: than any other game all year that they've played. And
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about like everything, you know, like
Speaker 1: the whole team. But you don't think Dj Wagner, you
Speaker 1: don't think Adu Thierro, you don't think Big Z, you
Speaker 1: don't think Carter Knox, Billy Richmond, guys were that were
Speaker 1: committed to Kentucky but ended up going to Arkansas. Like,
Speaker 1: all of those guys are going to have a little
Speaker 1: something extra in the tank. And if you're Kentucky, then
Speaker 1: you better know that those guys are going to have
Speaker 1: a little something extra at the tank.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think this Kentucky team really games this year where
Speaker 2: it felt like, man, it just doesn't look great. They've
Speaker 2: come out and maybe not even played like the best
Speaker 2: game you could think of, but just they're not too high,
Speaker 2: not too low. I do think there's some similarities between
Speaker 2: louisll and Kentucky in that way that their leadership from
Speaker 2: their head coach kind of makes it to where you know,
Speaker 2: you're never again too high too low, and on the
Speaker 2: road in Knoxville with injuries didn't seem likely, they got
Speaker 2: it done. I mean, even the Gonzaga game when they
Speaker 2: were down a bunch and didn't have Butler, then they
Speaker 2: found a way to win. So, I mean, I just
Speaker 2: think the scenario where Mark Pope's guys come out and
Speaker 2: they look a little bit impacted by you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: in fact, the impact should be a benefit to them
Speaker 2: because there's gonna be so many fans they are rooting
Speaker 2: them on. But I just this Kentucky team has really
Speaker 2: really impressed me, really throughout the entire season. But Pope
Speaker 2: keeps winning games, and I shouldn't say that he's not
Speaker 2: supposed to win because they've proven they can beat anybody.
Speaker 2: They have one of the best resumes in the country
Speaker 2: when it comes to the teams that they've beat, and
Speaker 2: I've not really seen at any point any sign that
Speaker 2: they're maybe they're maybe not going to do that. I
Speaker 2: think the Vandy game, the way it played out, maybe
Speaker 2: it looked like, Okay, maybe they're going to go through
Speaker 2: a little bit of a slide here, but then they
Speaker 2: go to Knoxville and as of now, that's the most
Speaker 2: valuable win anybody has as far as the metrics in
Speaker 2: college basketball. So you know, I think Arkansas is gonna
Speaker 2: be ready to play. But I kind of feel like
Speaker 2: this mature Kentucky group, they've been battle tested enough and
Speaker 2: they trust their their game plan and their code, which
Speaker 2: I just I kind of think that as much as I,
Speaker 2: you know, would hope for it to be competitive game,
Speaker 2: because that's that's what you want when you when you're
Speaker 2: watching a game like this, I just I expect Kentucky
Speaker 2: to take care of business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I expect them. I expect them to
Speaker 1: win because while there are zero people that on that team,
Speaker 1: it's you know, outside of maybe like a walk on
Speaker 1: or two that played for John Caliperry at Kentucky, nobody
Speaker 1: on that staff and nobody uh on that roster has
Speaker 1: anything to do with with John Caliperry and and his
Speaker 1: time at Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just how new it is.
Speaker 1: But you know, those players walking around campus and or
Speaker 1: or just around town, how many times you think this
Speaker 1: week they've been told man you got to get this absolutely.
Speaker 2: I mean, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they know, and I think they know they know
Speaker 3: what's important.
Speaker 2: The new veterans in both at both Louisville and Kentucky,
Speaker 2: I get a sense that they are really soaking in
Speaker 2: the experience and understanding how passionate these fan bases are.
Speaker 2: And even though it really it's a good scenario for Kentucky,
Speaker 2: they don't have any they'd have to really go manufacture
Speaker 2: some ill will towards Calum that wouldn't do anything but
Speaker 2: maybe get in their head. But they do know. Man,
Speaker 2: this fan base loves their coach and they love this team,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna go out there and hope to get
Speaker 2: a win because they realized it would be a I mean,
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be a real valuable win when it comes
Speaker 2: to your resume, but man, it would be a win
Speaker 2: that the fans really really appreciate. Now, let's switch to
Speaker 2: Louisville quickly.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: I think they're kind of becoming boring to talk about.
Speaker 2: And I say that tongue in cheek, because you know,
Speaker 2: the ride has been phenomenal from a fan's perspective. Just
Speaker 2: seeing this team, you know, coming ready to play every
Speaker 2: night really since this win streak started, and even before that,
Speaker 2: they still showed signs of Pat Kelsey being the guy
Speaker 2: that looks like he can get this thing turned around.
Speaker 2: But I thought Pat Kelsey's press conference earlier today was
Speaker 2: interesting in a way to where, you know, I maybe
Speaker 2: I'm just just you know, turning into the real fan here,
Speaker 2: but I do feel like what he tells us is
Speaker 2: quite literally his approach right. He doesn't think about any
Speaker 2: other game other than other than the next one. And
Speaker 2: I feel like his his guys have really been a
Speaker 2: reflection of him throughout this season, which which is what
Speaker 2: you want. I guess My question is, you know what
Speaker 2: you're seeing now for Louisville, what are some things you
Speaker 2: feel like that maybe they you know, they need to
Speaker 2: tighten up here in this next month and a half.
Speaker 2: They may slip up and lose to some teams before
Speaker 2: they get to the postseason. That could certainly happen. They
Speaker 2: could lose anybody they don't play well. But while they're
Speaker 2: collecting wins here, what are some things you feel like
Speaker 2: they could tighten up on before they get to postseason play,
Speaker 2: when of course they're going to play better teams, and.
Speaker 3: You know what Honestly, I thought about that day.
Speaker 1: Where could they you know, one of the things, and
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Tennessee game, right, and I would even
Speaker 1: go back and point to the Old Miss game and
Speaker 1: what I.
Speaker 3: Think they they learned. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: If it was if it was the team or the staff.
Speaker 1: I think this team likes they They like a they
Speaker 1: like a loose whistle. They because one of the things
Speaker 1: that I've noticed is that they're they're pretty hands on defense,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna dare officials to call foul.
Speaker 2: They set the tone early with the officials, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: If it's if it's loose, and I think they first off,
Speaker 1: I think they like that, and b I think they
Speaker 1: need that just because of you know, like they the
Speaker 1: high disparity, you know, some of that. But and that's
Speaker 1: not the sake. And I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that he learned in that Tennessee game, because Tennessee
Speaker 1: does that. Oh this does that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like And so if if they're not gonna call a
Speaker 1: tight you know, if they're gonna if they're gonna call
Speaker 1: a tight whistle, then maybe you have to change some things.
Speaker 1: But if they're gonna call a loose whistle. Then then
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, you can you can really kind
Speaker 1: of dictate how you want the offense to play on
Speaker 1: the on the other end, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things is they they're just really guarding
Speaker 1: right now. Honestly, I don't know if they can play
Speaker 1: much better than what they're playing at right now. Like,
Speaker 1: I really like the way that they're playing. I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's another level for them, because it almost
Speaker 1: feels like to me, like nobody's having bad games.
Speaker 2: Yep, I think he's getting as much as you could
Speaker 2: expect out of the majority of the guys he's playing.
Speaker 2: You may have guys that just are unconscious and can't
Speaker 2: miss shots, but I'm with you. I think for the
Speaker 2: most part, the key guys that are really impactful, you're
Speaker 2: getting probably as best you can. And the good thing
Speaker 2: of that is that I feel like what's making that
Speaker 2: all work is things that aren't necessarily based off luck.
Speaker 2: It's just guys bringing a good attitude, good energy, effort,
Speaker 2: and and really kind of sticking to the role that
Speaker 2: that they've identified. So I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, I just kind of go
Speaker 1: down and like James Scott does Jave Scott things, Javon
Speaker 1: Hadley does Javon Hadley things, Rayin Smith makes threes and
Speaker 1: does a.
Speaker 3: Few other things. And and Terrence Edwards has.
Speaker 1: Been And by the way, I didn't I didn't know
Speaker 1: that they were getting this kind of a defender from
Speaker 1: from Tarreence Edwards. But but he's been, he's been phenomenal.
Speaker 1: And then Chucky Hepburn has just been amazing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I and and like when you go down through that list,
Speaker 1: it just feels like everybody is bringing it every single night,
Speaker 1: which is if you're a coach man that just you
Speaker 1: know you gotta be tickled pink.
Speaker 2: With that, no doubt, Kent, I won't leave you on
Speaker 2: hold as long as I did next time we bring
Speaker 2: you on, so appreciate your time. I know you've got
Speaker 2: a big week in ahead, so we'll let you get
Speaker 2: back at it. As always, thank you for spending some
Speaker 2: time with us, and we'll talk.

Speaker 2: anything that you might have missed because that's where you
Speaker 2: can find the podcast of this show, which we talked
Speaker 2: about it last week. And I've already kind of broken
Speaker 2: a rule that I set for myself a little bit
Speaker 2: because I used to not check the podcast numbers really ever,
Speaker 2: just because I would get in my own head if
Speaker 2: there was one day where it wasn't what it usually
Speaker 2: is as far as downloads and listenership, then I would
Speaker 2: just obsess over what could have caused that, and it
Speaker 2: would just not be a good thing for me. But
Speaker 2: last week I was actually uploading our podcast which I
Speaker 2: don't usually do, and I went and checked and was just,
Speaker 2: you know, thankful that there's many people of you, as
Speaker 2: many of you listen and download and whatnot. Know, So
Speaker 2: however you're listening, wherever you're listening, we certainly do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't checked earlier today, and you know, it
Speaker 2: just didn't. You know, it makes me feel like we're
Speaker 2: doing some good stuff here. So again, big, big thanks
Speaker 2: to all of you guys who listen if it's live,
Speaker 2: if it's on podcast, and today's show will be up shortly.
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the Louisville Men's Clinic. I
Speaker 2: know you guys have heard me now talking about our
Speaker 2: fine partnership the Louisville Men's Clinic for over a year now,
Speaker 2: and it is one of one of the many great
Speaker 2: partstnerships that I've personally been involved in. And what I
Speaker 2: mean by that is I educated myself man. In fact,
Speaker 2: I guess they educated me doctor Wood at the Louisville
Speaker 2: Men's Clinic. He educated me sort of on how a
Speaker 2: lot of this stuff works and why testosterone levels need
Speaker 2: to be checked because you know, for you to be
Speaker 2: in a real situation with your health being a big concern.
Speaker 2: Your levels need are going to need to be really low.
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking like dangerously low. So if you
Speaker 2: get blood work done with your doctor, your physician, and
Speaker 2: they see the levels at a certain spot, it may
Speaker 2: be nothing that causes any kind of concern on their
Speaker 2: end as far as your overall health. But every person,
Speaker 2: depending upon their age, should be within a certain range.
Speaker 2: And there's so many people out there that would never
Speaker 2: For first of all, I think there's so many people
Speaker 2: that would never even think to get it checked out
Speaker 2: because they don't know what it is. They just assume,
Speaker 2: like I did. That it's just for people that are,
Speaker 2: you know, a lot older than me. And you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not young, but I'm also not you know, I'm
Speaker 2: kind of in that weird range, right, I'm thirty six.
Speaker 2: I don't really qualify to be you know, young young,
Speaker 2: but I'm also not you know, I'm not fifty, which
Speaker 2: crazy to think that I'm closer to fifty than twenty,
Speaker 2: but you know, life happens. But my point is if
Speaker 2: there was more folks my age that kind of knew
Speaker 2: how all this works and knew what your level should
Speaker 2: be depending upon your age, and you got it checked
Speaker 2: out and then you were able to go and you know,
Speaker 2: talk to the folks like I did at the Louis
Speaker 2: of Men's Clinic. I mean, it could impact your life
Speaker 2: in so many ways. I mean, and I know it's
Speaker 2: going to sound like I'm just really overdoing it here,
Speaker 2: and I don't mean to, but your testosterone levels not
Speaker 2: being where they need to be for your age can
Speaker 2: impact you way more so than just like physical appearance
Speaker 2: and energy and ability to build muscle. I mean it
Speaker 2: can also it can also impact It can impact your
Speaker 2: mental health. And I can tell you everything they say
Speaker 2: about why testosterone levels being where they need to be
Speaker 2: for your age, like all the things they list that
Speaker 2: that why it's beneficial to have it, to have it,
Speaker 2: you know, looked at and treated if need be, every
Speaker 2: one of them. I feel like I can tell you
Speaker 2: that it's that it's certainly stood out to me. As
Speaker 2: far as I'm in a better spot here, as far
Speaker 2: as sleep, I'm in a better spot here. As far
Speaker 2: as mental health, I'm in a better spot here. As
Speaker 2: far as just excess belly fat and you know, man
Speaker 2: boobs kind of stuff, I mean, clearly, I'm still I'm still,
Speaker 2: and I don't say clearly as if like you know,
Speaker 2: I'm bragging, but I do still try to exercise and
Speaker 2: and you know, watch what I eat to an extent.
Speaker 2: I'm not a help, not by any means, and I'm
Speaker 2: not somebody that's obsessed with the gym, but I try
Speaker 2: to be as healthy as possible. But now that my
Speaker 2: testosterone levels are where they need to be, I've had
Speaker 2: the same lifestyle for years, but now, man, I'm really
Speaker 2: seeing results that I didn't see for a while. And
Speaker 2: it's all because of my levels being where they need
Speaker 2: to be now, and it's all because of the friends
Speaker 2: that I have over at the Louis of Men's Clinics.
Speaker 2: So go check them out Lois of Men's Clinic dot com.
Speaker 2: Go see doctor Wood. The phone numbers five O two
Speaker 2: four four four four thousand. I know there's at least
Speaker 2: one of you listening right now that thinks you know
Speaker 2: what I'm I'm. I'm in Nick's age range, and I
Speaker 2: kind of feel like maybe I'm I'm dealing with those
Speaker 2: same kind of things. It's not something where I feel
Speaker 2: like I need to go to the doctor as if
Speaker 2: I'm ill, but yeah, just something's off I've lost my edge,
Speaker 2: that was me and now here. I am a year
Speaker 2: into my my treatment with the Louvermen's Clinic and it's
Speaker 2: been very beneficial. All Right, it's coffee and company. We're
Speaker 2: fueled by Thorntons right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
