You know, it's been out.

You know, it's been out.

I think a long time since we've had the level of excitement that we have for this SEC tournament. I said yesterday on the show, I think before COVID, you know, but I think with Mark Pope the new team, I think there's a new level of excitement that maybe matches what we had, you know, prior to COVID, maybe twenty nineteen. You know, it was the last time that they won the tournament twenty twenty two, last time since they won a game in the tournament.

Let that sink in for a second.

Let that sink in for a second.

Twenty nineteen they last won a game here in Nashville in this tournament. Wait that they went it in twenty nineteen. I think they got beaten the second round Segon around never mind, I think so. Yeah.

Twenty nineteen they last won a game here in Nashville in this tournament. Wait that they went it in twenty nineteen. I think they got beaten the second round Segon around never mind, I think so. Yeah.

So anyway, it's basically time for Kentucky to take back their tournament, and I think it starts right here today in Nashville. You can give us a call eight five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. That's the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. Ksrpre show is always being brought to you by Italics, fine Italian downing in Lexington and you could be our whiskey thief call of the day.

You know.

You know.

When Mark Pope was hired here, the thing he kept saying was I understand the assignment. Yes, and a big part of the assignment is of course winning the national championship, but also but putting meeting behind the SEC Tournament, which we've heard for years from our prior coach, the SEC tournament doesn't mean anything. But I think that he is here ready to win this tournament.

He's not.

You know, he even said We're not coming down here to lose. We're coming down here to win the tournament. That's the goal.

You know, he even said We're not coming down here to lose. We're coming down here to win the tournament. That's the goal.

You know, for so many years you could have called the SEC Tournament the UK Invitational because we came down here and just kicked everybody's ass. I mean, we won the tournament every single year. It was our tournament. And then the last six seven years that can we've kind of strayed away from that, and a lot of it I think was because Kyle didn't put a lot of emphasis on it. But man, these fans, this is, like we've said before, this is a different fan base that come to the SEC Tournament. These are folks who take a week's vacation to get him down here, and they save up all year and make a vacation out of it. So it means something to these people, and they're starving for some wins down here, and I think they finally get it tonight.

Not to take anything away from the crowd at rapp Arena, because I think the crowd this year for home games is act been really good. And again I think a lot of that is just the excitement of Mark popeing and the coach and the new team. But I think that, you know, the SEC Tournament is the best of the best when it comes to this fan base. You know, people come down here, they're ready to party, and they're allowed and they take over Bridgestone Arena.

Yeah, we walked around a little bit last night. There was a little blue but it'll really pick up tonight. The big blue wave will kind of roll in. And I think a lot of people waited until today to come down here since they don't play until late tonight, so we'll see a big wave of people roll in as the day goes on.

But we went yesterday. We were sitting there.

When you walk in, by the way, they don't tell you where to go, like they don't tell you, Okay, this is where you're supposed to sit. Any other time I've been credential to a game, you have like an assigned seat and they say, okay, this is.

We go in yesterday and there it was just anarchy, like there was no direction or anything. As a matter of fact, back when we walked through, I thought we were gonna run out with the VANDID basketball team.

We were like in like the time.

We were like in like the time.

I'm like, I'm pretty sure we should not be standing here right now, Like I don't think we're supposed to be here, But nobody was saying anything. Security was really relaxed behind the scenes. But then when we went out to sit and watch the game, all a media row, all the seats were taken, so I go, well, where do we sit?

I'm like, I'm pretty sure we should not be standing here right now, Like I don't think we're supposed to be here, But nobody was saying anything. Security was really relaxed behind the scenes. But then when we went out to sit and watch the game, all a media row, all the seats were taken, so I go, well, where do we sit?

And you said, well, this is the overflow section over here. So we sat down.

And you said, well, this is the overflow section over here. So we sat down.

Yep, everything was cool, and then about ten fifteen minutes later, a security comes up and says to Mario, you're not supposed to be here in this section. He had a red lanyard for some reason. All the rest of us had a green lanyard. Yeah, so that started the whole thing.

Yep, everything was cool, and then about ten fifteen minutes later, a security comes up and says to Mario, you're not supposed to be here in this section. He had a red lanyard for some reason. All the rest of us had a green lanyard. Yeah, so that started the whole thing.

I told Mario just sit here, We're good.

That particular person left, and then about ten fifteen minutes later after that, another security guard comes over and says, you guys can't sit here, And this time he's coming after me, telling me I can't sit there, and I'm going, well, I've got a credential that says I can. He goes, you're in the wrong section. I said, okay, well, then point me to the right section where I'm supposed to be. He goes, well, you need to go talk to the person who gave you the credential for that.

So I go, okay.

So I go, okay.

So you're telling me I can't sit here, but you don't know where I'm supposed to go sit. So this goes on for another ten to fifteen minutes, and he threatens to call the cops at this.

So you're telling me I can't sit here, but you don't know where I'm supposed to go sit. So this goes on for another ten to fifteen minutes, and he threatens to call the cops at this.

Point, and what was your line?

Point, and what was your line?

Going right ahead, I'm not moving. I'm sitting here and watching this game in case I did. And eventually Mario I think, got.

Going right ahead, I'm not moving. I'm sitting here and watching this game in case I did. And eventually Mario I think, got.

Up and left. He had enough.

Up and left. He had enough.

But I just sat there and they didn't come back anymore and bother me. But I'm telling you, like they they got to get that thing figured out over there at the arena, because if they don't, they're gonna have more people there today, and they don't have enough seats. They got more people who were credentialed, then they have seats for people to sit in. So I don't know what's gonna happen today, but I think that they're going to have a problem if they don't.

They don't figure that out soon.

Didn't one of you guys tell the security guy said, hey, you kick us out.

Didn't one of you guys tell the security guy said, hey, you kick us out.

You got to kick all of us out. We all have the same credential. So that was the other thing. Because he said, you don't have a number two on your credential. I go, I don't even know what that means. He goes, you gotta have a number two on your credential to sit here. I look over there are kids who have like a hello, my name is sticker that says spectator on it, and they were allowed to sit there. So I wasn't moving, So I told the guy, you're right. It was probably one hundred seats there that were that were you know, on that whole action, maybe half of them were full, like, so people weren't like fighting over seats, you know, to sit there to watch.

The Vandy game.

Right, So I looked around and I saw that nobody else had any of the credentials either. I said, you know what, I'm not going anywhere until you kick all these people out, and they never came back.

Right, So I looked around and I saw that nobody else had any of the credentials either. I said, you know what, I'm not going anywhere until you kick all these people out, and they never came back.

I came ever came back. So I'm just telling you it's not all what.

I came ever came back. So I'm just telling you it's not all what.

It's cracked up to be being credentialed, apparently at the SEC Tournament, because I was not not too impressed with my first day. Basically, I came in, had an argument with security for about twenty minutes, watch bandy get their butt kicked. I did have a good dinner before I left, and then got out of the arena. That that was my first day being credentialed at the SEC Tournament.

I felt sorry for you. Were so excited, your face lit up and you got your credential. You're getting to sit in a good seat to watch the Vanderbilt Commonorees, one of your favorite teams play, and it all went south after that.

I felt sorry for you. Were so excited, your face lit up and you got your credential. You're getting to sit in a good seat to watch the Vanderbilt Commonorees, one of your favorite teams play, and it all went south after that.

Yeah, so God speaking to anybody credential trying to trying to find a seat over there later on today, So let's talk about some of the results from yesterday. Arkansas beat South Carolina.

Yeah, so God speaking to anybody credential trying to trying to find a seat over there later on today, So let's talk about some of the results from yesterday. Arkansas beat South Carolina.

First of Arkansas was up twenty the second nearly blew apparently nearly blew a twenty point lead, which so when that had been a shame if that had happened. I didn't understand that what they were doing at the end of the game, because Kyl said, you know, they were up by three, right, Arkansas's up three, two and a half seconds to go, Arkansas's got one free throw, and Kyl was trying to tell the Arkansas player to miss it on purpose. Yeah he did.

Yeah he did.

I don't understand. I'm not a coach, but I don't understand that.

I don't understand. I'm not a coach, but I don't understand that.

Wouldn't you rather make the shot, be up by four with two and a half seconds and have to endbound the ball and at that point the game is over versus intentionally miss the free throw. You're up three two and a half seconds to go, they still have time to get a half court shot off and go to overtime.

I didn't understand that. He tried to explain it afterwards.

I didn't understand that. He tried to explain it afterwards.

I thought.

I thought.

I thought he was even more confusing me too. I didn't understand any of that. Can you speak any logic into what they were trying to do?

I thought he was even more confusing me too. I didn't understand any of that. Can you speak any logic into what they were trying to do?

There?

There?

No, you hit the free throw. It's a four point game, game over with two and a half seconds left. Now, if it was just a two point game, maybe you want to miss that free throw too, because then they have to throw one the full length of the court to try to hit a three pointer. But I heard these explanation too, it didn't make much sense to me.

Then, uh so Texas beat Van dis Mississippi State, I mean that was never a game over LSU. And then Oklahoma of course beat Georgia. Tonight eight thirty, the Cats take on Oklahoma. Two weeks ago they played in Norman. It was a close game. Oh take a Ohway just completely took over there at the end of the game. How are we feeling about the game tonight? Are you feeling good about it? Do you think it's gonna be a blowout? Do you think it's gonna be close? What's your confidence level?

Well, you know, it didn't take O take Ohway to do a Lebron James act and score eighteen to the last nineteen points to win that game. Oklahoma, they've got some scores, man, They got four or five guys. They can shoot the basketball. They can put up a lot of points. But that's the way we like to play. Ye So if I had my choice of the two, Oklahoma or Georgia, I probably would have picked Oklahoma because they played we like to play. Georgia kind of plays physical, tries to get in there with you. So yeah, you know, we match up pretty good with Oklahoma. We just saw that we played them two weeks ago and beat them home floor.

Well, I mean that was a very physical game too. When they played Oklahoma, you know, it got chippy. Brandon Garrison luckily he didn't get a technical at the end of that game, had a beer can thrown at him at the end. So I think that maybe it's going to be a chippy game tonight.

That's a good storyline about the Brandon Garrison effect, you know, because he played, he played well, you know, he's from Oklahoma, the state of Oklahoma, right, so that means a lot to him now on this game, and he kind of lost. He's cool there at the end, So we'll see how he performs today.

Speaking of beer cans, I don't think anybody's going to be getting too drunk at the arena tonight. Did you see they are now selling beer to the general public, which is cool.

Speaking of beer cans, I don't think anybody's going to be getting too drunk at the arena tonight. Did you see they are now selling beer to the general public, which is cool.

It's a good thing. That's a good change that they made.

It's a good thing. That's a good change that they made.

But a premium large beer at the arena is going to set you back seventeen dollars and fifty cents. Ryan, Oh my goodness, I think that's the most expensive beer I've ever seen. I remember going to Lallapulooza many many years ago and I saw a beer for like fourteen dollars, and I'm going that is outrageous. Now fast forward, I guess you know fifteen years it's now seventeen fifty for a beer. So I would say, if you're gonna drink, maybe do all your pregame drinking here at here brew.

I agree, because you get here and like I said, you have people that were lined up at four o'clock in the morning to get in. There's an excitement that I think is unmatched for any other event that we have or any other game that we have all year long. And then you got, of course people drinking here at seven o'clock local time. So it's it's always a good good time here at ten Roue.

And then you got, of course people drinking here at seven o'clock local time. So it's it's always a good good time here at ten Roue.

That's why I told my man over here from Radcliffe, I said, pace yourself. It's a long day. I don't know what he's all your Ratcliff and Wildcat. I heard that.

That they just lost to Texas A and M.

And of course Kentucky tonight Oklahoma. Kentucky is a six and a half point favorite. I think that feels about right. Cats are gonna cover right, Come on, I think so. You think six and a half is about right for Kentucky.

And of course Kentucky tonight Oklahoma. Kentucky is a six and a half point favorite. I think that feels about right. Cats are gonna cover right, Come on, I think so. You think six and a half is about right for Kentucky.

Doesn't it seem like that's the case. If he comes out, he's hitting shots, they're just so much better, so much more dangerous. You know, you get another big game from Otega, That's what's gonna take one of those two guys that got to have a big monster game. I believe, Yeah.

I mean, oh way, last game essentially put the team on his back and carried them to that crazy I mean.

I mean, oh way, last game essentially put the team on his back and carried them to that crazy I mean.

He was even the last second shot he hit, He's up in the air, twisting kind of over his head. It was crazy.

He was even the last second shot he hit, He's up in the air, twisting kind of over his head. It was crazy.

And Brandon Garrison had double digits. Those were the only two Cats to score in double digits in that last game. So I think that you got to have more contribution from obviously Andrew Carr Amari Williams. Those two guys I think are going to be big for Kentucky to win tonight. But you can't just rely on otega Oway because as great as he has been, as many games as he has scored, you know, in double digits except for two all year long, you can't have one of those games where you know, Oway doesn't at you fifteen points, Yeah, and then you're relying on everybody else to pick up the slack. If I'm Oklahoma, I'm just gonna lock in on O Way and go We're not gonna let that guy beat us, which is.

What happened last time. Yeah, he beat him. You know they got Oklahoma's got that Jeremiah Fears freshman. He's awesome. But now Lamont Butler's healthy bringing on. I feel good about that. But they've got three or four guys, like I said on the earlier on the premier, that can really shoot the basketball. So this maybe another game where Colin Chandler plays a lot just because of his defense on the perimeter.

So this maybe another game where Colin Chandler plays a lot just because of his defense on the perimeter.

He's been great.

He's been great.

By the way, Hey, I look at Colin Chandler as just kind of like found money because I did not expect anything out of Colin Chandler. I didn't know that he would really get any playing time. But because of injuries and because of the season the way it's played out, he's sort of been forced to play extra minutes, and he's been really great off the bench.

Speaking of Found Money, I saw you got some more foreign currency mailed to you this past week.

Speaking of Found Money, I saw you got some more foreign currency mailed to you this past week.

Oh yeah, yeah, it's still happening.

Oh yeah, yeah, it's still happening.

I mean, dude, webs though one mentioned like five years ago, and you're still getting money mailed to you.

I mean, dude, webs though one mentioned like five years ago, and you're still getting money mailed to you.

It's the longest practical joke I think that I've ever heard of. I mean, yeah, it's been going on for five straight years now, at least, i'd say once every couple of weeks. I'm still getting people send it for money, and it's not from people in Kentucky. Like you can look at the envelope, you see where it came from, uh DC. I think the last one came from and then another one came from Arizona. So I don't know why people continue to send me foreign money.

Just keeps the show.

Just keeps the show.

I don't I don't want.

I don't I don't want.

Your foreign money, but that people continue to send it anyway, which is strange because you move and you think that you know your your address isn't going to be public. You've moved, and you're still getting still found it that anyway. So let's talk about Mark Pope. First of all, you know he's putting an emphasis on winning the SEC tournament. What I asked Billy this a couple of days ago, what grade would you give Mark Pope after the regular season and the job that he's done so far?

What I asked Billy this a couple of days ago, what grade would you give Mark Pope after the regular season and the job that he's done so far?

I would probably give him an A minus. I feel like I can't give him an A because there were some blips in the season. You know, they shouldn't have lost to Ohio State, they shouldn't have lost to Georgia, they shouldn't have lost to Texas. I mean there's little couple little bits shouldn't have lost Arkansas, should have lost to Arkansas.

You know, they shouldn't have lost to Ohio State, they shouldn't have lost to Georgia, they shouldn't have lost to Texas. I mean there's little couple little bits shouldn't have lost Arkansas, should have lost to Arkansas.

So I give him an A minus. Okay, See, I'm still saying that he gets a solid A. I think just considering the injuries that he's dealt with all season long, considering the fact that the SEC is the best conference that we've seen in our lifetime, and considering that it's basically a group that he threw together in two to three weeks, I don't know how you can give him anything other than that. I mean, if he had a completely healthy team and lost some of those games, okay, I could see, you know, maybe less than an A. But considering what he has done and the obstacles that he's sort of had to overcome, I think that he's done a terrific job so far.

But considering what he has done and the obstacles that he's sort of had to overcome, I think that he's done a terrific job so far.

You know, going into the season, we all said the one game he has to win is Arkansas at home. You know, didn't happen. You know, I think if you get Arkansas again, you beat him. But then on that day you didn't. So I think that's why I got to give him an A minus.

You know, going into the season, we all said the one game he has to win is Arkansas at home. You know, didn't happen. You know, I think if you get Arkansas again, you beat him. But then on that day you didn't. So I think that's why I got to give him an A minus.

And I mean also, I mean the first year we talked about what would the SEC record be, I think I think I picked eleven wins. I think that's all I picked. But I mean they were only one off of that. Yeah, So I think overall, a pretty good job. Now, he was asked about one of his favorite SEC Tournament moments as a player, and I remember this game back in nineteen ninety five of the SEC Tournament when they played Arkansas. They were down by I think it was nineteen twenty points something like that, came all the way back, forced the game to go into overtime, then got down by eight points in overtime.

It still came back and won that game. Do you remember that game?

It still came back and won that game. Do you remember that game?

Was that the game where Corey Price was Corey? Is that the game that Rodrick Rhodes missed the free throws? Yeah? I thought it was. And then Anthony Epps and Tony del Tony Delk came he hit the free throws. Yeah, that was that game. That's what That's what My lasting memory of Rodrick Rhodes is him crying on the bench after he missed a couple of free throws.

Yeah, I mean that's uh. I can remember that game as a kid.

I think I was like twelve, Yeah, and sitting there watch going I know that they're going to come back. Because Kentucky back in the nineties absolutely owned the SEC tournament. It was the Kentucky in votash invitation was Kentucky and everybody else.

I think I was like twelve, Yeah, and sitting there watch going I know that they're going to come back. Because Kentucky back in the nineties absolutely owned the SEC tournament. It was the Kentucky in votash invitation was Kentucky and everybody else.

And the biggest rivalry in the conference was Kentucky and Arkansas there during the mid nineties.

And the biggest rivalry in the conference was Kentucky and Arkansas there during the mid nineties.

It has been though, pretty amazing to watch the SEC and how much stronger it has gotten over the last several years as well. I mean a lot of great coaches coming in, great talent as well. You know, somebody was asking, who would you compare this team to this year from other teams. I don't know that you really can do that, just because the game has changed so much. The transfer portal, you know, wasn't the same as it was back then. You have nil money now, so I just think, you know, the entire landscape of college basketball has changed. I think it's hard to compare this team to any other team. Maybe the early Rick Patino team that was on probation could be, I guess the best comparison that I can make. But kind of hard to compare this team to other teams.

It is, and we're in his historic season in the SEC. You know, Joelnardi said last night it is not crazy that fourteen teams can be in the NCAA Tournament out of the SEC. Yeah, just recently, that would have been the whole conference. Can you imagine the whole everybody in the team the conference going to the to the NCAA Tournament. But with Texas winning, he's got them kind of last four out or something like that. So it's not crazy where fourteen teams can make the NCAA earlier the entire conference. That's amazing.
