00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.599
<v Speaker 1>It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.

3
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>So after last night's eighty five to sixty eight victory

4
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>over col Louisville, they are one went away from finishing

5
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>eighteen and two in the ACC which would easily be

6
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 2>their best finish ever. But right now, when it comes

7
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to the win total increase for Louisville, the current number,

8
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>let's see Louisville right now is at sixteen and by

9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the way, they include not just regular season but postseason

10
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>as well, But Louisville eight and twenty four last year,

11
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>now twenty four and six. That's sixteen games up and

12
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>the record is twenty Anybody have a clue who did that?

13
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 2>Who had a twenty game turnaround? It's actually somewhat recently,

14
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's not really a trick question, but it's so.

15
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State in twoenty and twenty one, I guess that

16
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>was the first year that as the year we tried

17
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to play college basketball with COVID going on. They went

18
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>two and twenty two, and then the next year they

19
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>hired Otselberger, who, by the way, apparently is in the

20
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>mix for the Indiana job, which I don't know what

21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to believe, but it sounds like maybe that's the guy

22
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Indiana's really really gonna come after, which he'd be a

23
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 2>fine coach. I think if he can win at Iowa State,

24
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>why can't he win Indiana. But anyways, they were two

25
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and twenty two in twenty twenty one, and then in

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two they went twenty two and thirteen, so

27
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>took him all the way to the Sweet sixteen, and

28
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>he I would have, honestly, I think I if I

29
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>wasn't looking at this, I think I would have got

30
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 2>that right because I remember just you using that as

31
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>a weapon for idiots who would act like Kenny Payne

32
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>needed a lot of time to you know, not be

33
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the worst coach in the world. And then also in

34
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>recent years like Duke Duke in two thousand, same things.

35
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>So Duke went thirteen and eleven in the year where

36
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 2>we again tried to play basketball and you know, had

37
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cancelations that kind of stuff. They were

38
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>thirteen and eleven and the next year they went thirty

39
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>two and seven, So they had the nineteen game bump.

40
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 3>And there's a lot in fact.

41
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky is on here too at number seventeen or with

42
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 2>seventeen game turnaround, because in twenty twenty one they were

43
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>nine and sixteen.

44
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>That was the year Cal.

45
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's what it really fell apart for Cal

46
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, because they were bad in

47
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>a way that nobody ever expected and they shouldn't have

48
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 2>been as bad, and you know, the pandemic was going on,

49
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and that to me, you know, I'm not an insider

50
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>by any means, from what I understand is that he'd

51
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>been such a made man for so long there and

52
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>he did have another year where they were really bad,

53
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>but then they bounced back the next year and were

54
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal in fourteen and fifteen, So you know, he'd had

55
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>a down year, but like that was a different level

56
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>down and there'd been a big drought already as far

57
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>as making a final four to where he went twent

58
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>he went nine and sixteen, and couldn't believe that, Like

59
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>fans were upset, Like he thought, like how could they

60
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>ever be upset at me? I'm Caliperry, Like, look at

61
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 2>what I've done for you. I'm a rock star. And

62
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>you know the next year would they do Yeah, twenty

63
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>six and eight, So a seventeen game turnaround and then

64
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you know they end up losing to Saint Peter's, which

65
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>was you know, very very fun night for me, if

66
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm being honest with you. So if Louisville ends up

67
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, to break the record, like I think Pac

68
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 2>can do it, because keep in mind, let's say you

69
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>know you went on you went on Saturday, that's seventeen.

70
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>You win your quarterfinal game on Thursday in the ACC,

71
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>which again you could lose, but you know, like right now,

72
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I think you might end up playing Virginia Tech. I'd

73
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>love to get a shot at them againhim to be

74
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, because I think Louisville on any other

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>night would blow them out.

76
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 3>So that puts you at eighteen.

77
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>So really, if you end up winning against Clemson, easier

78
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>seven done, if it goes chalk, of course, that would

79
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 2>put you at nineteen. And then from then on, really

80
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 2>you've got the ACC title game. Of course if you

81
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>get there, and then whoever you play in the first round,

82
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>that those two opportunities will give you the chance to

83
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>tie it.

84
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>But like let's say Louisville.

85
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Goes all the way to the championship game and loses

86
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>to Duke, but they beat Clemson again easier Seve than done.

87
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>But let's say that plays out, that'll put you at nineteen.

88
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>So then in the tournament, the first round, it's like

89
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>it could very much position to where if you make

90
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the second weekend sweet sixteen, not only is that insanely

91
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>awesome if that's what happens, but also that would break

92
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the record for the most, you know, the biggest win

93
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>total increase from a prior season. All right, it's Coffee

94
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and Company. We are feel about Thornton's here on Sports

95
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>Talk seven ninety. Thanks for hanging out us certainly appreciated,

96
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Nick Coffee. That's me the tribal chief alongside today and

97
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>real quick. One more thing to throw out there about

98
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Louisville basketball, because you know, I love bragging on this team.

99
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 3>It's been that fun. It's been awesome. With the thirty five?

100
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 3>Was that what he had last night? Thirty six? Thirty five?

101
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I said thirty five, And I'm thinking, well, no, it

102
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 2>must have been like twenty five, And then sure enough,

103
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 2>like that's a lot of points, like like Chuck he

104
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>had just under forty twice and Javon had thirty had thirty.

105
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Something thirty two, right y, Yeah, that sounds about it.

106
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I went to yep, Cless game, that's right, Moos and

107
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Maya and then uh and then Rain had thirty just

108
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>because he hit ten three. He hit more than thirty,

109
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>but he had thirty something when he hit ten threes

110
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>against SMU and then you know last night fat thirty five.

111
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 3>So Louisville has had four players.

112
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>With thirty or more in a game this year and

113
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>there's no other team that's been able to do that.

114
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 2>Which again, that alone, like that says a lot, but

115
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>think about this, like these guys were given a lot

116
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>more basically just responsibility, right, Like there's nobody to really

117
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>spell Chucky. Hepburn that was supposed to be Corn Johnson,

118
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Like Chucky's got a run point Terrence. You know he

119
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be your off guard, that can you know,

120
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>basically two to three guy. I don't know if they

121
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of plans for him to run point,

122
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>but now he's had to be more of a distributor.

123
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>And really your your your backup point guard because you

124
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 2>don't have another guy outside of Chucky, So you know,

125
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>he all these guys took on much bigger roles, not

126
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>by design, but because it's what they had to do.

127
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 2>And man, they have all I mean again I talked

128
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>about it earlier. They won't get four guys on the

129
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>All SEC First and the All ACC First and second

130
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 2>team honors. I just don't think they will because that

131
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>would basically Louisville getting forty percent. But you could make

132
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 2>the case, man, all these guys didn't just you know,

133
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>step up and help you. They were good players for

134
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.079
<v Speaker 2>a good team that really he was clearly in the

135
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 2>top tier of this conference. And you put these numbers

136
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>on anybody, and we're talking about a player that you know,

137
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you would think, is you know, deserving worthy of All

138
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 2>ACC honors to an extent, maybe not first team or

139
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>even second team, but Chuck, he's the best player in

140
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 2>this league not named Cooper Flag. He's the best point

141
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>guard in the league. Seventeen points per game I'm sorry,

142
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>sixteen points a game in acc play, seven assists and

143
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:25.399
<v Speaker 2>two point four steals.

144
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 3>That leads the league edwards.

145
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Seventeen points per game in acc action just under that

146
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 2>overall of the season five games of twenty or more. Hadley,

147
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like he's criminally underappreciated when it

148
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>comes to just like guys in this league that have

149
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>been really good for the good teams. If he was

150
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>putting up these numbers for a bad team to be impressive.

151
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Hadley's averaging twelve and a half points, seven point three rebounds,

152
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>which is top ten in the ACC in league play

153
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent overall, forty percent from three to seventy eight

154
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>percent from the line, Like that's I mean to me,

155
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>that take out the fact that Louisville is likely going

156
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to finish eighteen and two in the league. It's a

157
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>really good player, probably not first team, maybe not second team,

158
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>but certainly third team at worst. And then rain thirteen

159
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 2>point four points per game, one hundred and sixty three

160
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 2>pointers may thirteen more than anybody in the ACC, by

161
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the way, leeds All, And by the way, he didn't

162
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>make a three last night, didn't make a three on Saturday,

163
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 2>at least I don't think he did. And he still

164
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 2>has thirteen more threes than anybody in the conference. And again,

165
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>he's averaging thirteen point four points a game for the

166
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>second best team in this conference depending upon standings. So

167
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, these guys, I mean, I just put it

168
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>this way. This is the best way I can really

169
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>throw it out there as far as like how it's

170
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of stopped me in my tracks here with these guys.

171
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, for Louisville to even be like decent the

172
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way, these guys were going to have

173
00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to have these these numbers all year. I've always liked

174
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>these guys, but you'd have told me in November December

175
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 2>that that like they were going to need to do

176
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 2>that for Louisville to be even decent, let alone eighteen

177
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 2>and two potentially in the league. I just would have thought, there's, like,

178
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>as much as I love these guys, I just don't

179
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 2>see how that happens. But sure enough, they got comfortable,

180
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>they really solidified their roles, and they've been consistent for

181
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>the most part all year. And when guys don't have

182
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a night like rain last night, couldn't go. He's dealing

183
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 2>with some kind of a minor injury.

184
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Couldn't go.

185
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 2>So you know what, It's not something you can dial

186
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>up any moment on a moment's notice. But you got

187
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>a guy that's not crazy to see him go for

188
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty five and Terrence Edwards. So again, I love these guys,

189
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 2>love this team. One more regular season game left, and

190
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 2>then we get to the real fun part, the postseason,

191
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>which man, I guess Louisville did play in the postseason

192
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 2>under Kenny Payne, but you know it was really it

193
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>was a day of shame in the ACC tournament. That's

194
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>not the case this year. All Right, what do I

195
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>want to do coming up here on the other side,

196
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll let you guys hear what Josh Hurd had to

197
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>say he was on yesterday with Terry Miners, the beautiful

198
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>bald man that Isry Minors. You guys, you know where

199
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to find him. I'm not going to tell you because

200
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to leave you. We need to

201
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>stay here with me, right, I mean, he's already on

202
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the big stick, and he's already, you know, the living

203
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 2>legend in Louisville media. I got tough competition here, but

204
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like competition because he's he's my friend.

205
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 2>He's just down the hall, and sure enough we can

206
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>play some of the great stuff that he has on

207
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 2>his show. So we'll do that after this first break

208
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>that we get to coming up here shortly but real quick.

209
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to switch to Kentucky because you know they're

210
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>safely a top four seat as it stands right now,

211
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 2>and I really you know, with the loss, put it

212
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>this way, the only potential bad loss is now in

213
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the rear view because LSU was that. But again that

214
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>was just a they won by like a billion, it

215
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>seemed so now like right now, no matter where you look,

216
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see Kentucky I think anywhere between a

217
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>three and a four, And I'm not sure that they

218
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>could fall. I mean, if they get like blown up

219
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>out at Missouri, maybe that would hit them to where

220
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 2>they fall off the four line or something, or maybe

221
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>fall from the three to the four. But like if

222
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>they lose a close game doesn't hurt them. If they win,

223
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that's a really valuable win, that probably doesn't move them.

224
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I think the ones and twos I think are solidified.

225
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe you could see a two fall to

226
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a three, depending upon what happens in these conference tournaments.

227
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 2>But you know, with Kentucky, whoever they play, Like, even

228
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>if they played Arkansas in the first round and lost

229
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in the SEC tournament, that would be a nightmare for them.

230
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 2>But if they did, that's probably not going to be

231
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>enough to put a dent in their resume bad enough

232
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to fall on the seed line. So like, credit to them,

233
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>they've done enough to where they really have no pressure

234
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to seating. But I just I don't know,

235
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 2>because they've they've lost so many games. It's hard to

236
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>still even though you know you're good and you have

237
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>wins to prove that, even though you know you're losing

238
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to other really good teams or teams that are better

239
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>than you, when you just start racking up the losses

240
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 2>like they've done, they're now four in or five and

241
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>twelve in, they're last thirteen I'm sorry, five and twelve

242
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>in their last seventeen. So you know, you probably just

243
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>start to slightly lose a little bit of not belief.

244
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 2>But when you lose enough and you get to the

245
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.919
<v Speaker 2>tournament and you know you playing in the second round

246
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 2>against a I don't know, Like if Kentucky ends up

247
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 2>in the second round against a sixth seed, you know,

248
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>that could be Clemson who's already beat them. It could

249
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.399
<v Speaker 2>be it could be Kansas, it could be Arizona, it

250
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>could be you know, it could be even be why

251
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you could be Louisville if there's six or something. You know,

252
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>like if you end up losing those games, I think

253
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>even though you know you're playing a loaded league, I

254
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>think you know, those teams that can potentially be on

255
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>the sixth line and beat you are also good and

256
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't be that big of a shock. So, like,

257
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to misrepresentatives if I feel like their

258
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>fans are down on the dumps as we get closer

259
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to March Madness. But again, they've just stacked up more

260
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>losses than you typically would see a team with their seeding.

261
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Being where it is.

262
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 2>But a show that I really really enjoy is a

263
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Barstool Sports podcast. This is uh, let me make sure

264
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I've got the right. I want to give the proper

265
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>credit here. So this is what's his name? I can't

266
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:11.320
<v Speaker 2>think of the here. I am telling you that I

267
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.120
<v Speaker 2>really like him, and I can't think of the damn

268
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>guy's name, Mark Titus.

269
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry.

270
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>The Mark Titus show on Barstool Sports. He talks college hoops,

271
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>does College Hoops podcast, one of the many things he

272
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.519
<v Speaker 2>does for Barstool Sports. But he said this about Kentucky,

273
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think he's trolling. I don't think he's

274
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 2>like insulting their team. But I thought, okay, initially, man,

275
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>this guy's out of his mind. But then I thought

276
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 2>about it. I'm like, you know what, maybe he's not

277
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>way off here, and I'll let you guys hear it,

278
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 2>because I think Kentucky fans would disagree with this, but

279
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong.

280
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.799
<v Speaker 4>I think if Kentucky makes the Sweet sixteen really and

281
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 4>loses by fifteen, I think Kentucky fans have to be

282
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 4>happy with that. At this point in the year.

283
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm interested to hear from a Kentucky fan on that

284
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 5>because I'm with you. They're they're beating up, they're injured,

285
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.039
<v Speaker 5>they're not playing as good as basketball, but they're also

286
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 5>doing it. We say this every show against the SEC,

287
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 5>night in and night out, and night in and night out.

288
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>So I've got my hand near the dump button. This

289
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>has got like twenty seconds left. I don't remember they're

290
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>being cursing. But then again, like it doesn't really hit

291
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>your radar when you listen to Barstool Sports, because there's

292
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of cursing in there, more so than most

293
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>content that's you know, like of the sports world, because

294
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>they don't you know, they don't have to censor anything,

295
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>so I don't think they curse here. But like I'm

296
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>just if if you know, if you notice something off,

297
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>it's because we had hit the dump button and they

298
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>did curse.

299
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.320
<v Speaker 5>So anyways, they're gonna they should absolutely get to a

300
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 5>Sweet sixteen, and then who are they gonna match up with?

301
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, but yeah, Mark Pope's had a great

302
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 5>first year. But I think they have higher expectations.

303
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't. I don't think they can guard. I think

304
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 4>they can't. They they can't play defense, and there's too

305
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 4>there's too many question marks game to game of like

306
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 4>who's going to step up? And yeah, I like I said,

307
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I think they're more they're more fun team than they

308
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 4>are a good team.

309
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>So again go back to the beginning of it when

310
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>it comes to did he say if they get to

311
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 2>the Sweet sixteen and then lose to fifteen, they should

312
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 2>to be happy.

313
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 6>I thought I heard he was predicting that, but I

314
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 6>don't know. He may have said if they get to

315
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.720
<v Speaker 6>the sweet sixteen, because he's talking about a scenario really.

316
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 4>And loses by I think if Kentucky makes the Sweet

317
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.000
<v Speaker 4>sixteen real and loses by Okay, so.

318
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>They make the Sweet sixteen and then they get beat

319
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 2>by fifteen, I that's one of those things where I

320
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:25.759
<v Speaker 2>think it'll depend on who it is, It'll depend on

321
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 2>how it looks, because that's not like a crazy scenario.

322
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. I mean, Kentucky's weird. They have

323
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>enough wins against good teams to where you look at

324
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.759
<v Speaker 2>the rest of college basketball and I think you'd be

325
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>foolish to not say, well, yeah, I mean, you never

326
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>know what's going to happen in March. We can tell

327
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 2>you that firsthand. We lost to Saint Peter's in Oakland,

328
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>but we have proven to be good enough to compete

329
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 2>with the best of the best. So let's set expectations

330
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>on a deep run. I mean, it is Kentucky. But

331
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>then again, you also have to keep in mind that

332
00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>despite having and what I think Pope said this after

333
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 2>their loss to Auburn. But when you look at the

334
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>ap pole in college basketball right now, which again I'm

335
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>only referencing this because Pope referenced it, we know the

336
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Ken Palm, and really the net is the actual ranking

337
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 2>that matters when it comes to the selection process. But

338
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>with Auburn, Duke, Tennessee, and Florida, I mean, Kentucky has

339
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.919
<v Speaker 2>four wins against the top five teams in the country,

340
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 2>so like that that's valuable. That is one of the

341
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>reasons why they really can't fall far at all. They

342
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 2>can't fall much at all. In fact, when it comes

343
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 2>to the seating, you know, you swept Tennessee, who's a

344
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 2>top five team, could be a one seed when it's

345
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 2>all said and done. You beat Florida, which is a

346
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>really valuable win that seems to be only getting more valuable,

347
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and you beat Duke, only one of three teams. So look,

348
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.080
<v Speaker 2>all that is something that should give you some real

349
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>excitement and some real belief in your team if you

350
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>need it. But I think also in the back of

351
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>your mind you realize, yeah, I wouldn't want to play

352
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Duke right now. That was in November when these guys were,

353
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, just getting to know each other, and now

354
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.559
<v Speaker 2>they look scary good. And then with Tennessee, I mean,

355
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I can't explain it. Tennessee just you know,

356
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 2>credit to Mark Pope, like he's the Tennessee volunteer killer,

357
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>because Tennessee was bad in both those games. But I'm

358
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>not saying that as if like they're overrated. No, they've

359
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.480
<v Speaker 2>proven to be really good. But Kentucky got them both

360
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 2>times and then you know Florida. But again with Florida,

361
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.759
<v Speaker 2>you probably need it, Like to beat Tennessee's the only

362
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.200
<v Speaker 2>win you have here. Wins I should say that you

363
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 2>have here where you can say, Okay, we did actually

364
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>beat really good teams without a full roster, right like,

365
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.920
<v Speaker 2>do you beat Duke if Robinson's not there? He actually

366
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>didn't really show up in that game. I don't even

367
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:49.559
<v Speaker 2>know if he scored, to be honest with you, but

368
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, same thing with Florida, right like,

369
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that was a shootout, close game. Florida's great, you guys

370
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>outlasted them, But could you do that again on a

371
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>neutral court, not at roup if you don't Jackson Robinson.

372
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 2>And again, those are the kind of teams you're not

373
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to beat them to get to the Elite eight.

374
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, those are the teams that you might you

375
00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 2>might play them in the Elite eight of the Final four.

376
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:09.440
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know.

377
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I just think as I try to check the pulse,

378
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 2>which I'm not as good at it as others when

379
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>it comes to Kentucky fans because I'm not one of them,

380
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I knew I do know a lot

381
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 2>of them, but I think they they realize that they

382
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have a team that that you know, should be able

383
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.680
<v Speaker 2>to go and compete. Put it this way, if they

384
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.880
<v Speaker 2>end up losing in like the second round, or maybe

385
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>they get to the sweet sixteen and they get boat

386
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 2>raced again, it really depends on who it is and

387
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>how it looks. But I can't tell if there's gonna

388
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.079
<v Speaker 2>be a collective Yeah, we probably should have saw that

389
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>coming with the injuries and with all the losses, or

390
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>if it's going to be a all right, Pope, pressure's

391
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 2>on now, bucco, because this is Kentucky. You had a

392
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>really good season, really good seed. We don't expect to

393
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.279
<v Speaker 2>be leaving early. And I don't know why I said bucco.

394
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 2>That was a dad moment. Like I don't think I've

395
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 2>ever said bucco before in my life. Have you ever

396
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 2>hit me? Yeah, like you're you're probably thinking like, oh crap, Nick,

397
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>is it happening. It's like those urges I get that.

398
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where they come from. I can't even

399
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 2>really explain it. It's like an out of body experience

400
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.359
<v Speaker 2>where I just do something that's really corny on you know,

401
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.039
<v Speaker 2>dad brand.

402
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 6>My dad always says buck Owens. But I don't know

403
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 6>if I don't know if Bucco was short for buck Owens.

404
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 3>That's a guy. That's a guy that likes to talk ball,

405
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>is it not.

406
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a guy that's a guy who will sit on

407
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the he'll sit on the stool at the sports bar

408
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>and just name random players with you.

409
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's my kind of guy. Shut up, Kirk. So

410
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't know why I said Bucko.

411
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.400
<v Speaker 2>But again, the ultimate moment was whenever I was at

412
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>a Mexican restaurant, and I would have loved to have

413
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.880
<v Speaker 2>had like surveillance footage on this because I think I

414
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 2>was like abducted, I was possessed by uh aliens or something.

415
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Because I don't know why I said it. Where it

416
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:50.119
<v Speaker 2>came from wasn't me, I think, but some guy who

417
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>worked at the restaurant. He was rolling one of the

418
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>kegs up to the bar because they the keg was out,

419
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and without thinking and not even really noticing it, I

420
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.079
<v Speaker 2>just blurted out, hey, is that for me? Like he

421
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 2>needed to leave the keg at my table and I'm I.

422
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>As soon as I said it, I looked around, like

423
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.319
<v Speaker 2>what happened? And my wife looked at me like, who

424
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.799
<v Speaker 2>are you? And I'm like, I don't know. I guess

425
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm turning into that dad. That guy.

426
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 6>It's it's like the Tim Allen like Santa Claus transformation.

427
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 3>But Tim all was actually funny. That wasn't funny.

428
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.400
<v Speaker 2>That was that was funny, funny for corny, right, yeah,

429
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 2>funny for like funny for that. Yeah, I mean, like

430
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, anyways, thank you for telling me that was funny.

431
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Makes me not feel as bad bucko. All right, quick break,

432
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back on the other side again. Josh Hurd

<v Speaker 2>was all with Terry Miners yesterday. We'll let you hear

434

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 2>the text line. Keep it locked right here. It's Coffee

446
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 2>and Company. Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven.

447
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Ninety on Sports Talk seven nine day.

448
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 2>So according to the best Wager Twitter account, and I

449
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 2>believe them, they usually crank out some pretty good info

450
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 2>stats analytics when it comes to college basketball. But the

451
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.759
<v Speaker 2>four players, four different players with at least thirty points

452
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 2>in at least one game. That has not only only

453
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.279
<v Speaker 2>been done by Louisville this year, but there's no ACC

454
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>team that's done at this century. So again, it's not

455
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 2>like these guys are gonna, you know, collectively score thirty

456
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 2>a night each, But just to know that somebody doing

457
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 2>that is within within their like, it's not crazy, right,

458
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 2>It's not. It's not it's not likely, it's not it's

459
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>not probable. It's clearly been rare. But like, if I

460
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>tell you Louisville's going to beat a three seed in

461
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the second round, in the round of thirty two and

462
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Terrence is gonna get thirty or Chuck, he's gonna get thirty, Like,

463
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you're not really going to be surprised because that's not

464
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>their average. We don't ever you know, expect that on

465
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 2>a game by game basis, but like it, clearly they've

466
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 2>shown they can do that. All Right, some football stuff

467
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 2>really quickly here before.

468
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 3>We get to some sound.

469
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 2>The Steelers are hosting Tyler Shuck today. Now it sounds

470
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>like their position to move forward with justin Fields and

471
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 2>the Russell Wilson experience is now over. But man, that

472
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.559
<v Speaker 2>could be the like if Shuck ends up in Pittsburgh

473
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 2>in I don't know, round three or something and the

474
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Fields experiment just like wasn't the right move because you know,

475
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.240
<v Speaker 2>he's never really at any point looked like a for

476
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 2>sure thing as a starting quarterback that can succeed in

477
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. Like that could be how Shuck gets a

478
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.079
<v Speaker 2>chance to get out there and you know, do his thing.

479
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Also, two to at will.

480
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:04.119
<v Speaker 2>You probably heard this during the Fox Sports update during

481
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the break, but he signed a one year deal with

482
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Rams gonna stay in LA a ten million, ten million

483
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.759
<v Speaker 2>dollars one year deal fully guaranteed. So that's about That's

484
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>about the money they pay us around here. So congratulations,

485
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to him. How about that ten million fully guaranteed

486
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 2>even if you suck, or even if you know, like

487
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, guaranteed money is not a bad deal.

488
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:28.599
<v Speaker 1>It's not.

489
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's good work if you can get it,

490
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 3>very good work, if you can get it right, honest

491
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 3>man's work. It's right.

492
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Five oh two five to seven one seventy nine hundred

493
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 2>is the number if you want to give us a call.

494
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.799
<v Speaker 2>And we've got a new text line, folks. Five oh

495
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.319
<v Speaker 2>two four three eight ninety seventy three is the ln

496
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.640
<v Speaker 2>N Federal Credit Union text line. Again, five oh two

497
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.640
<v Speaker 2>four three eight ninety seventy three. We've got folks texting

498
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 2>in here. A lot of people are just doing you

499
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 2>know what I requested, which is, hey, send in something

500
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.880
<v Speaker 2>and just tell it. Tell me your name so I

501
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 2>can get you labeled in here. That way, when I

502
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.119
<v Speaker 2>read a text, you know it's it's Burt or Ben

503
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>or John in Saint Matthew's or Derek or like Gary

504
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in high View, like those kind of things. So Gary, questions, complains, compliments, insults,

505
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever you've got, you can send those as well. But

506
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>if you just want to save it in your phone

507
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:15.319
<v Speaker 2>so you have it and then text us like your name,

508
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll get you saved, and it's like, you know, like

509
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we kind of you know, we gave each other to

510
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>each other's number, right, like we're kind of like we're

511
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of doing something here, you know what I'm saying, Like,

512
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, you know, we'll see what happens.

513
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe I give you a call one day, you know,

514
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't maybe you know, maybe that happens. So anyways,

515
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.160
<v Speaker 2>real quick, let's talkbout the little Men's Clinic, folks, fellows,

516
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I should say, but not just fellows, because obviously the Louis

517
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>of Men's Clinic, what do they do? They help men,

518
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But there's probably women that listen that realize, hey, why

519
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't my husband listen to what Nick Coffee is saying

520
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and that he needs to go see doctor Wood at

521
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>the Men's Clinic. Although that may be an awkward thing, Like, hey,

522
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, if I was somebody struggling with e D

523
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.039
<v Speaker 2>which who knows, maybe I will be at some point,

524
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 2>because it happens. It's life, you know, And I knew it,

525
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.480
<v Speaker 2>but I like I was, I guess in you know,

526
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I was somehow able to like hide it, and like

527
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe in my world I would believe like my wife

528
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't know if she just like randomly.

529
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Requested that I go there, like it would.

530
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Be her looking out for me and our intimacy of course,

531
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:18.599
<v Speaker 2>but also like it would probably be a little bit

532
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 2>of a hit to the hit to the pride, right,

533
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like it's got to be one of

534
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>those things that if you know, you know, like it's

535
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 2>not like you are unaware if you have that kind

536
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:27.839
<v Speaker 2>of issue.

537
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 3>And again, no shame, no judgment. It's more common you'd

538
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.440
<v Speaker 3>ever realize.

539
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It's awkward to talk about, but erectatis function happens, and

540
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 2>the Little Men's Clinic can certainly help you with that.

541
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 3>So what I was going to say is, maybe.

542
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, ladies, you can encourage your husband, your partner

543
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.599
<v Speaker 2>to go to go see them, but maybe be delicate

544
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to do that. I think you just

545
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:47.000
<v Speaker 2>want to make it clear that you want them to

546
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 2>know you're coming from a place of love to where

547
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>you want you want to help them, and you want

548
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to help them address something that may be a little

549
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>bit tough to address, but a rectatus function, low testosterone.

550
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.960
<v Speaker 2>They can help you lose weight, They've got weight loss

551
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.759
<v Speaker 2>therapy treatment. They also can restore your hair, that's right

552
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 2>hair restoration. So Louisvillmen's Clinic dot COM's the website. BABO

553
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 2>two four four four four thousand is the number, all right.

554
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:14.160
<v Speaker 2>So Josh heard was on yesterday with Terry Miners across

555
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the hall. I don't know, I've never, I've never. I

556
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 2>don't know why this has been a pet pee for me,

557
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if I've ever said it on

558
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 2>the radio, but I'll say it now.

559
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Our sister station, why do we what do we call

560
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.240
<v Speaker 3>it that?

561
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.759
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. They're not our sister, No sister, not

562
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 6>O brother either, meta minor miners. We're going away.

563
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Over top of everybody said here and I kind of

564
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 2>love it, but but I'll stop.

565
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.200
<v Speaker 3>But yes, I could do that all day exactly. They

566
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 3>get it.

567
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>But but Terry had Josha on yesterday and as you

568
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:50.799
<v Speaker 2>could expect, just talking about this big turnaround in year one,

569
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and look, Josh heard, this hire was going to make

570
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>or break him as the athletic director.

571
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Here.

572
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 2>I say that not really knowing if like it didn't

573
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 2>work out, if anybody actually would take because for an

574
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.519
<v Speaker 2>athletic director to get heat, it's people who are not

575
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.559
<v Speaker 2>directly involved in sports having to kind of, you know,

576
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 2>really go address it themselves and clean it up. So

577
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he would have been fired if

578
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.799
<v Speaker 2>it didn't work out with Patt.

579
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 3>And who knows. It's still early, but so far, so good.

580
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And Pat Kelsey looks like he's going to be very

581
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>successful here, and you know what, Josh Hurt looks good

582
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.039
<v Speaker 2>for bringing him here. So a couple of things. One,

583
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to hear you guys. I just wanted

584
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:27.039
<v Speaker 2>you guys to hear a little bit about Josh when

585
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>it comes to kind of I guess, you know, getting

586
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the sense that this was going to be successful. But

587
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 2>then also he was asked about, you know, heard needing

588
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>more money and needing a new deal. And I'm not

589
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.759
<v Speaker 2>saying that Josh Hurt is requesting that, but if he did,

590
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 2>it would be understandable. And I'm sure fans just want

591
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>to know, hey, like, let's just make sure we get

592
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.599
<v Speaker 2>this guy taken care of, because you know what, we

593
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:46.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of love, we kind of like him.

594
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 3>In fact, no, we love him.

595
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>But here's a little bit from that conversation yesterday on has.

596
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 7>The University of Louisville welcome back Josh? Good to have

597
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 7>you glad to be.

598
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Here, are Terry.

599
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 7>Everything's beautiful, brother. I see you are getting a lot

600
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.440
<v Speaker 7>of input now from people around America saying this, Pat Kelsey,

601
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.519
<v Speaker 7>guys got to be the coach of the Year candidates.

602
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 3>He'd get my vote.

603
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:16.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he's done a phenomenal job.

604
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:19.119
<v Speaker 7>And I don't have to tell anybody in Louisville that.

605
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.559
<v Speaker 8>But I don't know what the expectations were, but I'll

606
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:26.839
<v Speaker 8>say that he's exceeded him if he's If you would

607
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.559
<v Speaker 8>have told me when he was hired a little less

608
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.559
<v Speaker 8>than a year ago that going into what day is today,

609
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:38.200
<v Speaker 8>March fifth, that we had an opportunity to still win

610
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.079
<v Speaker 8>the ACC regular season and play for a one or

611
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.799
<v Speaker 8>a two seed in the ACC tournament, I would have said,

612
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 8>where do I sign?

613
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 7>At what moment did you get the feeling?

614
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

615
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 7>Boy, I did pick the right piece here game one

616
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 7>prior to.

617
00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 8>It's easy for me to say that it felt good

618
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:03.799
<v Speaker 8>from the start, but from a wins and losses standpoint,

619
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 8>I really think if you look at when they were

620
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 8>six and five coming off of that UK game and

621
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 8>how they just just.

622
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:14.119
<v Speaker 3>Played so well.

623
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.079
<v Speaker 8>And I know they didn't win that game in Lexington,

624
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 8>but they didn't back down from At the time, I

625
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 8>believe UK was ranked number four, and I think there

626
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 8>was some real disappointment in that locker room that they

627
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:28.640
<v Speaker 8>didn't win that game and that they truly believed that

628
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 8>they had an opportunity to do something special. And then

629
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 8>if you look at what's transpired since then, you know,

630
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:37.720
<v Speaker 8>I think there's so many moments that you could point

631
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.799
<v Speaker 8>to where you're like, hey, this, you know, you feel

632
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 8>really good about the higher But I think from just

633
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.960
<v Speaker 8>the overarching fan base, I would say that I think

634
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 8>most of them would say after that UK game.

635
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 3>That makes me feel.

636
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:53.759
<v Speaker 2>As if I was maybe smart for a moment, because

637
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I want to act like there was a ton of

638
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.480
<v Speaker 2>resistance from from listeners. But when Louisville was struggling and

639
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 2>they were to lose in games because you know, they

640
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 2>were playing good teams and then they were dealing with

641
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:07.720
<v Speaker 2>losing prior and also Koryn it was for sure he

642
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't going to come back at all. They were kind

643
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:12.440
<v Speaker 2>of regrouping, trying to, you know, find find their new

644
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 2>roles in the new version. Each player kind of had

645
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.640
<v Speaker 2>to become a different version than they were anticipated.

646
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:18.160
<v Speaker 3>And then then they were expected to be.

647
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 2>But I remember they kept losing, and you know a

648
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 2>lot of people said, well, hey, you know, probably not

649
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 2>in the cards. No pun intended for Lois to make

650
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the tournament because you know the injuries, and it's just

651
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, this team, who knows how good they are.

652
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think anybody was like out on Pat Kelsey.

653
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.079
<v Speaker 2>But I kept thinking, yeah, despite the losses, Like I

654
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>remember tweeting it out during the Duke game, and I

655
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 2>remember it just because it got a lot of it

656
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of pushback from some but also plenty

657
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.680
<v Speaker 2>of support as well. But I said, look, I don't

658
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>know what's going to happen in this game when it's

659
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.279
<v Speaker 2>all said and done, or really what happens this season.

660
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.160
<v Speaker 2>But like Pat Kelcey, like him still getting his guys

661
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 2>to remain like they were never too high, too low.

662
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 2>They would get beat sometimes bad, but they would come

663
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 2>out ready to play, executing, and they were they were

664
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>a reflection of him. And despite losing to Ole Miss,

665
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 2>despite losing to Duke, despite losing to Kentucky there straight losses,

666
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean I still felt like, hey, they're getting better,

667
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Like they're they're starting to kind of round into a

668
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>team that I don't know if they can make a

669
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.559
<v Speaker 2>deep run or even make the tournament, but like, there

670
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.440
<v Speaker 2>may be something to work with here despite no longer

671
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 2>having some guys that you expected to have big roles here.

672
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 2>And I guess Josh Hurd noticed it as well. And again,

673
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't prove anything, right like that that moment didn't

674
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you they'd be here where they are, just late

675
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>in the year.

676
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 3>But like.

677
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.960
<v Speaker 2>There's a there's a real notice of little things when

678
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it comes to a coach who's got a good command

679
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 2>of his locker room, a guy, I mean.

680
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 3>A coach is a coaches.

681
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of ways to do it, but at

682
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, you know what a coach

683
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:46.400
<v Speaker 2>is a leader and Pat Kelsey, to me, seems to

684
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.200
<v Speaker 2>be a very very good leader. And that was evident

685
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:51.200
<v Speaker 2>even when they were losing. That was evident, you know,

686
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>even whenever it looked as if maybe they weren't going

687
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 2>to have the type of season they're having right now.

688
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, again it felt weird because you know, you

689
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>don't like to lose, but after the Kentucky game, I

690
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>felt good about where Louisville was.

691
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 3>You never want to lose to your rival.

692
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.599
<v Speaker 2>That just sounds gross, but I mean they competed in

693
00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 2>rough and really you know they were they were. I

694
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 2>mean I think honestly they've played Kentucky better at rop

695
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>than just about anybody, right. I mean, some teams have

696
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 2>actually gone in and won it rough, right, like Auburn,

697
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>But we're not talking I'm talking about like the SEC

698
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.720
<v Speaker 2>that's super loaded, even the teams that you know are

699
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:34.720
<v Speaker 2>good that lost it rough. I feel like Kentucky louisll

700
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was just as competitive. And of course that was when

701
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky was at full strength. So it felt weird to

702
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of prop that up a lost to your rival

703
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>as a reason to feel good. But I couldn't lie

704
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to myself. I could tell that in that moment they

705
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.119
<v Speaker 2>were playing, they were playing well, and you know, hard

706
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to imagine. My one fear that I remember talking about

707
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.319
<v Speaker 2>on the show was that, you know, you were having

708
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Terrence and Chucky go off for like a total of

709
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:02.759
<v Speaker 2>fifty between the two, close to sixty sometimes and you'd lose.

710
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking, okay, man, you shot fifty something percent

711
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 2>from three or roughly, that you had these two guys

712
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>go off career high type numbers or at least around

713
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.440
<v Speaker 2>there is that sustainable. And you go back to what

714
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.480
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about a lot today. You know, thirty a

715
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.279
<v Speaker 2>night is not sustainable for any of these guys. But

716
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.039
<v Speaker 2>if you look at what they're at, like the guys

717
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>who really had to absorb bigger roles with much more responsibility,

718
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.359
<v Speaker 2>they've been consistently as good as they need to be

719
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>for Louisville to be.

720
00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:26.720
<v Speaker 3>In this position.

721
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, So the question about Pat Kelsey, you know,

722
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 2>needing more money, I'm trying to, Yeah, let me see

723
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.119
<v Speaker 2>if I can. Let me get it to the spot

724
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 2>here on the uh and I'm playing this from the

725
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 2>iHeart portal. So apologies for having to like let it

726
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 2>load here we go because Terry asked him about how

727
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:52.079
<v Speaker 2>often he hears that, you know that Pat needs more money,

728
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, you know, it wasn't much of a response,

729
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 2>but it's also what you want to hear in that moment.

730
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:01.599
<v Speaker 7>Women's team looks great too there at the tournament this

731
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 7>week playing when Friday, here we go.

732
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:06.000
<v Speaker 8>Seed's going to be based on what they do in

733
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 8>Green Girl this week, it right.

734
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:09.800
<v Speaker 7>DEA's all speculation same on the men's side, what seed

735
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:12.360
<v Speaker 7>they'll get and all that. And you're expecting great support

736
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 7>too for the men's team in the tournament next week.

737
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.719
<v Speaker 7>It's really exciting, Josh. How many times a week does

738
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 7>someone bad for you to pay Pat Kelsey more money?

739
00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:24.320
<v Speaker 7>It's happening.

740
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:25.360
<v Speaker 3>I can promise you that.

741
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 8>I can promise you that, and I can assure you

742
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 8>we're gonna do everything that we need to do to

743
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 8>make sure Pat and his family feel like they're welcome

744
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 8>here in Louisville.

745
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:34.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

746
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 2>So again that's not like an official Hey, he signed

747
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:41.840
<v Speaker 2>a contract, but no brainer. Josh, Herd's well aware that

748
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 2>we got to do whatever we got to do to

749
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 2>keep this guy around. And Louisville has never in my

750
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to my knowledge, I don't know if Louisville's since Denny

751
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.280
<v Speaker 2>decided to not go back to UCLA, has Louisville ever

752
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:56.119
<v Speaker 2>been in a position where we were worried about losing

753
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 2>our coach to another job. Like Rick would do the

754
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:03.719
<v Speaker 2>whole like floated out there to make people appreciate him.

755
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think Rick was ever leaving Louisville. He

756
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>was a made man here, I mean, and where would

757
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:09.199
<v Speaker 2>he go that was better?

758
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:09.400
<v Speaker 4>Right?

759
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Like?

760
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.000
<v Speaker 3>It just it wasn't realistic.

761
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:13.760
<v Speaker 6>I remember when I lived in Arizona, people were literally

762
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Speaker 6>thinking that that was a possibility. It was right afterlude

763
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.400
<v Speaker 6>Olsen retired, and people were people had their people had

764
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:20.559
<v Speaker 6>their eyes on Ricky.

765
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>P Yeah, because I mean at that point Arizona, you know,

766
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they haven't been to a Final four since

767
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Loude Olsen, but clearly they made their mark on the

768
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 2>on the sport during that time. And you know, Rick

769
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Rick at that time, I guess hadn't been at Louisville

770
00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that long, right, like he'd been here a little while.

771
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>But like you know, I think once Rick, once they

772
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:41.000
<v Speaker 2>rode it out with Rick as far as like his

773
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 2>off the court stuff with Cipher, I kind of feel

774
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:44.840
<v Speaker 2>like at that point it was going to be a

775
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 2>no brainer that he that he that he stays.

776
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:48.559
<v Speaker 3>But anyways, you know, I.

777
00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Don't think louisvill would ever lose a basketball coach because again,

778
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.719
<v Speaker 2>like there's even though there are better jobs, and yes

779
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.440
<v Speaker 2>there are better jobs than Louisville, but not many, and

780
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>you've got a good enough job to where like you know,

781
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it just wouldn't make a lot of sense unless like

782
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>there's a connection, like if Pat Kelsey played at duke

783
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:09.760
<v Speaker 2>or something. They'd be a different situation. But Louisville, I

784
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>hope has him for a long time because he's so

785
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.960
<v Speaker 2>far he's been great. All right, quick break, we'll come

786
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 2>back on the other side, wrap up the four o'clock hour,

787
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and then we've got the five o'clock hour, and we're

788
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:22.679
<v Speaker 2>going to be joined by our buddy mister Dan Coob,

789
00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.239
<v Speaker 2>who I missed dearly. He's got a really cool project

790
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.360
<v Speaker 2>that I think you guys are going to be excited

791
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 2>to hear about.

792
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 3>So stick with us. Coffee and Company. Feel about Thornton's

793
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 3>on Sports Talk seven.

794
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's

795
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven nine day.

796
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.079
<v Speaker 2>That's right, we were wrapping up the four o'clock hour

797
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 2>here on a Thursday afternoon. I don't know if it's

798
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 2>still sunny outside now, but it was on the way

799
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 2>in and it was beautiful outside. I need to stop

800
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:53.360
<v Speaker 2>mentioning weather because yesterday, yesterday was a reminder that I mean,

801
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I knew it was cold, and it wasn't you know,

802
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 2>wasn't you know beautiful outside? But I didn't know we'd

803
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.440
<v Speaker 2>be walking out to Oh and that's what happened. So anyways,

804
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of time left here, but I do

805
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:07.480
<v Speaker 2>want to mention the local high school basketball postseason tournaments

806
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:12.559
<v Speaker 2>that are going on. I know the sixth and seventh regions.

807
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>I believe the semis are now set and I know, let's.

808
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 3>See heret me.

809
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Just make sure I've got it correct here because I

810
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong, and I've not kept up with it

811
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:23.039
<v Speaker 2>super close, but I've kept it up with just enough.

812
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been really enjoyed. I really enjoyed watching my North

813
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Bullet Eagles. This year's my buddy, former teammate of mine,

814
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Jesse Curry's first year coaching the Eagles, and they had

815
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.880
<v Speaker 2>a good year. Nineteen wins. Did fall short in the

816
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 2>regional tournament earlier this week to PRP, but I'm pretty

817
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:41.800
<v Speaker 2>sure nineteen wins in the first season is the most

818
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 2>any North Bullet coaches had in their first year, like ever.

819
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.679
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, they fell to more in the district championship.

820
00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Who has a really good team, and again PRP got

821
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 2>them in the in the.

822
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Regional tournament earlier this week.

823
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.519
<v Speaker 2>But right now you've got really the final four here locally,

824
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.199
<v Speaker 2>and let's see. I know they're doing it at Valley

825
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and let me see, here we go, here we go.

826
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 2>This website teasy to navigate. I'm just an idiot. But

827
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 2>p RP and Butler will play on Saturday at noon.

828
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the semi one of the semi final matchups in

829
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the sixth region, and then More will play jay Town

830
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:22.159
<v Speaker 2>after that. And I've not seen all these teams play,

831
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:26.199
<v Speaker 2>but certainly sounds like jay Town has got a really,

832
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.679
<v Speaker 2>really good team. But I watched More and they you know,

833
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't know what their sealing is, but

834
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.880
<v Speaker 2>they got they got a bunch of bunch of bunch

835
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 2>of defenders. Guys, they can rebound, and they look good

836
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 2>against against North Bullet.

837
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 3>When I watched him play.

838
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 2>And then in the seventh region you've got Manual, who

839
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.440
<v Speaker 2>got past Mail the rivalry matchup earlier this week in

840
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.119
<v Speaker 2>the region in the first round of the regionals, they'll

841
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 2>take on Trinity. Uh so that'll take place on that's

842
00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:56.079
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night at six o'clock. And then after that you'll

843
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>have Ballard taken on Saint X, who, last I checked it,

844
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>number one team is the number one team in the state.

845
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:06.599
<v Speaker 2>So Manual and Trinity and then Ballard in the st

846
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:09.000
<v Speaker 2>X and then I know we have some folks that

847
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.440
<v Speaker 2>listen from you know, just south of here. Fifth region

848
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:16.159
<v Speaker 2>they haven't started yet that actually starts. Let's see is that. Yeah,

849
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:20.079
<v Speaker 2>they'll play tomorrow. It looks like in their first round games.

850
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Speaker 2>But you got Bargetown, Caverna Ader County, Central Hard and

851
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:26.480
<v Speaker 2>North Hard and Bethlehem Green Green County who's really good

852
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:30.199
<v Speaker 2>this year in Taylor County, and then just north I

853
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:32.880
<v Speaker 2>guess it's north right up seventy one the Oldham Counties.

854
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:33.679
<v Speaker 3>That's the eighth region.

855
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>They have yet to start their tournament either, but that

856
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:38.119
<v Speaker 2>that would take by the way, that when I was

857
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.360
<v Speaker 2>in high school, we used to be in the eighth region.

858
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:41.360
<v Speaker 3>The Bullet County schools did.

859
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:43.400
<v Speaker 2>They don't know what to do with us, because we

860
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:45.840
<v Speaker 2>could be in the fifth, we could be in the sixth,

861
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:47.960
<v Speaker 2>which we are. We were in the eighth when I

862
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:51.159
<v Speaker 2>was growing up. We wouldn't belong in the seventh necessarily.

863
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:54.199
<v Speaker 2>But and in fact they just made the recent change

864
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to her. Now for the first time in a long time,

865
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:58.079
<v Speaker 2>all Bullet County schools will be in the same district,

866
00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:59.639
<v Speaker 2>which is the way it should be, but it hasn't

867
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.679
<v Speaker 2>been in a long time. But the eighth Region tournament

868
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.519
<v Speaker 2>has played at Henry County High School and they have such.

869
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.320
<v Speaker 3>An old, humongous gym.

870
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.880
<v Speaker 2>And when I say old, I mean I don't mean

871
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.280
<v Speaker 2>that in a bad way, Like it's old in a

872
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 2>cool way. And I remember I got to play there,

873
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:15.960
<v Speaker 2>not in the regional tournament, but I got to play

874
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a game there, and like it just felt like Kentucky

875
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 2>high school basketball in that in that gym. But yeah,

876
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:26.199
<v Speaker 2>they and and I I don't like that in the

877
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:29.719
<v Speaker 2>sixth and seventh the first round of the regional is

878
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.719
<v Speaker 2>a home game for the higher for the better seated team.

879
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Like again, you're gonna reward them because they won, but

880
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:39.639
<v Speaker 2>like it's the regional tournament. It should be a neutral

881
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.280
<v Speaker 2>site game at every round because like I just feel

882
00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 2>like if you know, if you make the regional tournament

883
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and you get like we got to we we won

884
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.960
<v Speaker 2>our district when I was a senior and we got

885
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>to go to the Louisville Gardens to play and we

886
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:53.239
<v Speaker 2>got beat bad by Western when we got there. But like,

887
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>you know how cool it was for kids for like

888
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.400
<v Speaker 2>like like us from Bullet County to go play at

889
00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the Louisville gardens, Like that was a big that's a

890
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.239
<v Speaker 2>big deal, and it felt like, you know, we were

891
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.079
<v Speaker 2>it felt like we made the regional, like we even

892
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.679
<v Speaker 2>though we lost and we only showed up to get

893
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:09.800
<v Speaker 2>beat you know, we took the bus there. The school

894
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:11.679
<v Speaker 2>emptied out and everybody you know went down to the

895
00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:14.800
<v Speaker 2>gardens and it was cool, like to have that same

896
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:17.880
<v Speaker 2>level as far as like how far you go were

897
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:20.559
<v Speaker 2>you just losing the first round? I mean the experience

898
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.119
<v Speaker 2>of playing in the garden would be cool. Going on

899
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:25.719
<v Speaker 2>the road to play PRP who won their district and

900
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.119
<v Speaker 2>them being the one that injured season. You know. Again,

901
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:29.360
<v Speaker 2>if you don't like it, beat them, I get it.

902
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.840
<v Speaker 2>But like I just feel like regional tournaments should should

903
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 2>all be at the same location and not have like,

904
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, home games for teams that win their district.

905
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Because honestly, even if I was, you know, even if

906
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I was able to play a home game because I

907
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 2>won my district, yeah that would beneficial, but like that

908
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:48.440
<v Speaker 2>would feel weird, like I would want to play, you know,

909
00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 2>and we don't really JCPS uses Valley for all these

910
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:51.960
<v Speaker 2>games now.

911
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 3>They used to use the gardens.

912
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.360
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I'm pretty sure the last event for basketball

913
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:56.719
<v Speaker 2>in the Gardens was when I was in high school,

914
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.079
<v Speaker 2>my senior year, and then they did it Bellarmine, which

915
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:00.639
<v Speaker 2>was kind of cool, but I just wish they would.

916
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I wish there was a venue that would host it

917
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:04.159
<v Speaker 2>to where like it was. It was like, you know,

918
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.119
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't some teams playing on their home floor. But

919
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:08.599
<v Speaker 2>they even do that in college now.

920
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:09.199
<v Speaker 3>Which is stupid.

921
00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Like some some conference tournaments like the the they're they're

922
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.880
<v Speaker 2>like the top seeded team gets to host it.

923
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 3>It's stupid. All right, stick with USPAK. Another hour to go.

924
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:20.599
<v Speaker 3>We're a little late for the break here. Apologies
