And boy boy, was last night fun. It made the fun to not end for a lot of people. I never went to sleep after the game last night. And the only person that is allowed to be more tired than I am is my co host, Shannon of the Dude, who's joining me from Nashville this morning. Good morning, Shannon, what's up?

Hey, Billy? How are you?

Hey, Billy? How are you?

So?

So?

You have not been to sleep?

You have not been to sleep?

That?

That?

I respect that. Actually I maybe got three or four hours of sleep, but you haven't been to sleep at all.

I respect that. Actually I maybe got three or four hours of sleep, but you haven't been to sleep at all.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't know if it was a great decision. I am a little loopy this morning. We were running on peer, red Bull and adrenaline, but Shannon the couch in the office wasn't comfy enough, and the time I got home at four thirty am, it just wasn't worth it to go to bed. So we just kept on trucking and now we're here. So I'm glad to be back with you this morning, Shannon.

Yeah, let me tell you. We're at Matt's Airbnb right now, and I've got Ryan Limit on the headsets here with us too, so he can chime in and join us. But Ryan had to drive me to the airbnb this morning, Billy, because you know, yesterday the band played at Tin Roof on Broadway, and I brought in all my equipment. Well, you know, the pregame show had to happen, you know, it was going on during the band's performance, right, So Ryan picks up the equipment and takes it over to DraftKings where they did the pregame show. Well, little did he realize he not only took the com Rex equipment, he also took part of the band's equipment with him in a case that he thought belonged to iHeart. Okay, so not only did he take the band equipment with him, I don't know, Like I'll let him explain here in a minute, Like how magically he thought the equipment went from one box to two boxes like that second box that he took was never a part of the equipment at any point of this trip until last night. But Billy, not only did it have the band equipment in it, which we turned out we didn't need. It was it was some equipment that we ended up not needing last night, thank god. But it also had my room key, which is not a big deal because you can always go to the front desk and request a new room key, right, but it had my car keys in there. Oh so I was not able to uh to drive myself here today because the car keys were in the box, which then ended up here at the Airbnb, which is where we're at right now. But Ryan, explain yourself, how did you go right on hacking that thinking there was a second box that was the radio equipment when you know it was all in one box.

The shin in the dude I was Bluegawn was rocking, it was it was crazy. We're all having a great time and we behind the curtains when we hid our equipment, right So when it got time for me to go and pick it up, the guy tan Ruf Morgan, who has helped us out tremendously.

He's awesome.

He's awesome.

Hands me that case. I didn't even I just that was it, did you not?

Hands me that case. I didn't even I just that was it, did you not?

Like the case that I had was very, very light, like there was not much at it, Like like I said, like one little piece of equipment for the band in car keys like this. This other equipment that we use every day is really heavy. It's very headsets, it's got the Comrex system, it's got all kinds of stuff in there with the sticker on it excess too. And in the moment you didn't notice the difference between this large case and this small case.

I thought this, Shannon's got this here for a reason. It's got this, yeah for the band two case, he's got the extension court in here, or he's got the headphones in here. It's here for a reason. And Morgan hands me the other one is Okay, this is the one that's got the Comrax in it. I'm gonna take this one. There's something in here, or Shannon would not have it.

What you're leaving up part of the story that you told me this morning. You actually took the small case first, yes, and was almost out the door, which would have meant that you would have showed up at Draft Kings opened the equipment Cox. That was almost a disaster that didn't happen luckily.

I will say this though, that's there a heavy son of a gun to walk from Tin Roof to Drag Kings. That was sweating like crazy. It was so heavy. I had both cases and our little orange bag our with our Max connect in it.

Yeah, that's our little Shannon. Here's the thing, though, Ryan, I didn't even see you there. If I had a I would have brought you up to do wagon Wheel with us. We ended up playing that song like last because I thought maybe there's a chance you would, you know, come in later on so we saved it for the very end, but you weren't there, so we did it anyway.

But uh invented Vince Merril show up.

But uh invented Vince Merril show up.

He did not show up. We did not do simple Man like we did last year. But a ton of people did show up, and I want to say thanks to everybody who who showed up at some point or another. I know it was a long show. There were a few people that actually stayed for all four hours, which is pretty amazing, but it was you know, it was a rotation of people, so we probably ended up playing in front of I don't know, four or five hundred people after the four hours was over. Last night, I heard it.

Was a little stuffy in there, Shannony, you get a little fun at all, Like were you in thirty five minutes in?

Was a little stuffy in there, Shannony, you get a little fun at all, Like were you in thirty five minutes in?

And man like I was sweating through my first of all, the weather down here has been great. It has been a fantastic like seventy five degrees yesterday. I think it's supposed to be the same today down here. But I was sweating through my clothes before we even played our first song, so I knew it was going to be a long night. But you know, everything went well. I think that was our best show that we played with the four of us maybe ever. So I was I couldn't have been more happy with the way it went last night. So Billy, I wish you were here. It's a lot of fun down here. But man, the game was a lot of fun last night, wasn't it? Boy?

Was it?

Was it?

And how about these crowds? I mean, Big Blue Nation has just taken over Nashville. Tyler Thompson posted a pick sure of people just trying to get into Bridgestone Arena before the game, and it was just to see and it's something that I think many in BIBAN have been yearning to see again in the SEC Tournament.

But like, where do we begin?

But like, where do we begin?

Guys, like, I mean, Otega Away does it again against his old team, Texas A and M Texas go into double overtime, so the game's delayed by an hour. I mean, it was just it was one of those all time nights that I think we'll remember for a long time, don't you agree to?

Yeah, you know, the first day of the SEC Tournament, I mean, the games weren't all that exciting, I didn't think, but yesterday more than made up for the lack of excitement In the first day. So, yeah, you had that great double overtime game with Texas and Texas A and M. You got to think Texas is now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, if they're not in the tournament, they're certainly in the conversation at this point. And then that game last night, I mean, what a way to end it. And uh man, Otaga Away did it again. If you're Oklahoma, You've got Otega Away and your nightmare for years to come. I mean, that guy just he just has some sort to magic apparently at the end of the games against Oklahoma.

I mean, Ryan, what do you think, I mean, does he just want it more when he plays his old team? Twenty seven points and probably the biggest part of the story is.

I mean, Ryan, what do you think, I mean, does he just want it more when he plays his old team? Twenty seven points and probably the biggest part of the story is.

That he struggled late.

That he struggled late.

I mean, he had two turnovers in the final minute before he hit that game winner, and Mark Pope highlighted that. I mean, that guy has just become with Lamont Butler being out with injury, he's become the heart and soul of this team.

I mean, he had two turnovers in the final minute before he hit that game winner, and Mark Pope highlighted that. I mean, that guy has just become with Lamont Butler being out with injury, he's become the heart and soul of this team.

Yeah. Really bad turnovers allowed Oklahoma to get back in it. Yeah, I'm telling you what for that kid to hit not one, but two last second game winners against his old team is like a Disney movie. Yeah, and I mean when he was running down the floor went range right in front of the Oklahoma bench, I got chili bumps. I mean, it was a special, special moment and for that kid to do it twice this year, but he did. I mean, he made some bad turnovers. It just shows you how valuable Lamont Butler is to the team. Because he was out there, they probably wouldn't have those late game turnovers.

Yeah, that's the thing that you know, Like, I don't know that we're gonna worry about it right now because they won the game, but that would be a pretty amazing collapse if they were to have lost that game. I mean, they were up ten points with what a minute forty to go, and I think up twelve with like two minutes to go, and I'm going, all right, well, this one's over. And I was back at the hotel at that point. I kind of nodded off for a few seconds and I woke up and Oklahoma just took the lead. I go, wait a minutes. All of a sudden, now I'm wide awake again in my hotel room in an no way coming down. And I almost put money on it because I just had a feeling and this is me like my betting life. Almost put money on it, but didn't. I tried to hit the thing on DraftKings to to bet Kentucky to win. They were like plus two forty I think at that point, and I couldn't hit it, and I realized I saw the score on DraftKings. I guess the TV was behind a little bit. So I saw the score eighty five eighty four Kentucky, and I go, oh, they just won the game. And then you know, a few seconds later, I'm watching it on TV. But yeah, Billy, I mean they nearly had an all time collapse there at the end of that game.

My jaw was on the floor when Oklahoma took that one point lead, and all of Big Blue Nation, I think, was shocked.

What is going on? Would this be an all time collapse and another first.

What is going on? Would this be an all time collapse and another first.

Game exit for Kentucky in the SEC Tournament? But no, it was otega Oway who was I mean behind the backboard, guys, I mean left handed floater running the full length of the court on the right side of that baseline. It's just it was an incredible shot. And if I could go back to the first game winner that he had versus Oklahoma before he scored the final eighteen points of the game. He really struggled in that game too. So I mean Mark Pope highlighted this. I mean he kind of epitomizes what this team means to stay present and not think about the thing that happened.

In the past.

In the past.

And boy, have they exceeded expectations for me. I don't know about you guys, but you know what they've done in the regular season. This win was satisfying last night to the point where we'll get to the Lamont Butler conversation. But this was what I was looking for when Kentucky brought back one of their own.

Yeah, I mean the SEC Tournament. You know, we kind of highlighted this yesterday. Used to be the tournament that Kentucky owned. It was Kentucky and it was everybody else. And you know, you think about this is their first win in the SEC Tournament since the twenty twenty two season, and this fan base just needed to win. Now, whatever happens today, who knows, But you know, I don't expect Butler to play. And you got to think, you know, with three guys out, if they were to go on any sort of run and hopefully Butler is able to come back at some point. I don't know if you heard Mark Pope's post game comments, he didn't sound too confident about the situation. But let's just see what happens today. Let's enjoy this victory though, before we get to the Alabama game tonight. Let's let's take I guess, not even twenty four hours to soak it all in. Let's take whatever time we have left to enjoy that win last night for what it was, and it should be a fun one tonight. Another late game tonight too with Alabama. Yeah, so, Billy, I help you ready?

Late game?

Late game?

You're okay? How late to the post? Let me ask you, because you had to produce the postgame show? What time did the postgame show start and what time did it end?

You're okay? How late to the post? Let me ask you, because you had to produce the postgame show? What time did the postgame show start and what time did it end?

Well, the game did not start till ten forty six after it was scheduled to be at nine to thirty. Postgame started at two twenty five am with Matt and Hubby on the on their roof watching the blood.

Well, the game did not start till ten forty six after it was scheduled to be at nine to thirty. Postgame started at two twenty five am with Matt and Hubby on the on their roof watching the blood.

Moon, which I did not see since there's no windows in that studio. Blood moon huh? Okay, blood moon yes?

And then that went all the way to three thirty before we finally signed off.

And then that went all the way to three thirty before we finally signed off.

So that's got to be an all time record for latest postgame show, I would think, right, that's what Matt was saying. He was saying that it was the latest that he could remember.

And then with you know what was happening with the blood moon, and I mean just I don't know, weird stuff happened last night. Weird stuff, and I just decided not to let the night in and not go to sleep. But you know, there were some moments in this game that I think we'll look back and remember. I mean, Colin Chandler's bloody eyebrow a' llah Tyler Ulis, right, I mean that was he didn't even get a foul called on that either head to go get stitches for that, and it was almost exactly.

Like Tyler Eulis, wasn't it. It was, Yeah, somebody put up side by side of it on Twitter of Ulis and Chandler, and you know he came back out there, he's bandaged up and still playing. I mean, that guy has been one of the great surprises, I think for the second half of the season so much. You know, he's brought from the defensive side of playing and you know, like I said, he doesn't have to be a guy that goes out there and gets you a lot of points. If he can come in and contribute, maybe score you know, seven eight nine points. I think that's that's all you need out of Colin Chandler. But he has been just a big boost and a guy that's really stepped up with Mark Pope dealing with these injuries, and he could be in line for even more minutes.

And then Ryan, you know, Ansley Almanor only scored two baskets in the game, but I thought they were huge in the time that they came in. It was, I believe, early in the second half, and it allowed Kentucky to extend their lead a little bit. I mean, that was just that guy playing his role, and we're gonna need a lot more of that, don't you think he.

Was Maybe he was the Johnny Rocker role player of the game.

Was Maybe he was the Johnny Rocker role player of the game.

He did.

He did.

Yeah, he came in, did his thing. Didn't get any minutes from in crunch time. When Pope decided to roll with those guys, you know, he kind of rotated Amari and Brandon Garrison out, but he left car Chandler, Brea and Otega out there and let him roll with those guys for a big stretch of the game when they went up by twelve, and.

You can always hear the joy and somebody like Jack Gibbons doing the call, and Andrew Carr was immediately given to us in the post game to be interviewed by Jack, and just the interaction right there, it was just everybody was still in shock after not only Oklahoma coming back to take the lead a one point lead, but Kentucky getting another buzzer beatter win. And now that the name otega Oway, you know, that's something that you remember forever, right like when we talk about great SEC tournament performances. I mean, this is game one, first postseason game of Mark Pope's tenure at Kentucky, and it's one that we'll remember for a long long time. I'm hoping you got some Red Bull or five hour energy shon.

I mean, what's the caffe and we got some Hotel Lobby coffee. It's it Hotel lobby coffee with three hazel nut creamers and two swim eat and low sugars and a little straw coming out of it too. Because you know, you don't I might be the only person that drinks coffee with the straw because I don't want to have like coffee stained teeth, so I have a little straw there so I sip coffee with the straw. I don't know you're doing it. Maybe that's a little weird, but you know, at least don't have brown teeth. I think that's weird. But I do salute the hazelnut creamer.

You put me onto that.

You put me onto that.

And what a hotel room or a hotel to have that creamer for you?

And what a hotel room or a hotel to have that creamer for you?

Ready to go?

Ready to go?

Yeah, exactly. I was going to tell you real quick, Billy. I haven't looked at the latest bracketology this morning, assuming that there's a new one out, but Ryan and I we're kind of looking at it yesterday. And you know, again, Joe Lenardi, you don't take it as gospel. Just because he's got it on here for his bracketology doesn't mean it's going to be what happens. But let's just say theoretically he's correct. Did you see that in the latest bracketology if Kentucky were to win their first game and Oklahoma were to win their first game, Kentucky and Oklahoma would play each other in the in the second tournament. Now it looks like it's been updated here Now it looks like they've got Kentucky as the three seed, with UCLA and Drake being the six and eleven. So that's changed. But I just now looked at that this morning. I want to avoid SEC teams for as long as possible.

I don't know about Shannon.

I don't know about Shannon.

That's it, man, Like you know, you talk about the teams you don't want to see. I don't want to see the teams we've already played, because I mean, you tell me that you give me Ucla or Drake, I'll take that all day. You're one is actually Florida, So yeah, I mean, you're not gonna avoid the one seed if you get that far, because they're all going to be SEC teams. But other than that, I mean, right now, just looking at the latest brocketology, I would take it. The only other SEC school in their bracket right now is Vanderbilt, which is a ten seed, which I mean they're not going to make it that far anyway. So you know, right now, you tell me that you have the possibility to play Montana, Drake or UCLA, and then I guess Texas Tech is the two seed.

I'll take that all day.

I'll take that all day.

I'm taking that. Oh my goodness.

I'm taking that. Oh my goodness.

You know, guys, I just can't remember a time in sports where I had such an emotion swing, you know, from that Oklahoma taking a one point lead to the time that O taga Away hit the buzzer beater. It was just I almost like I almost saw the entire summer of sports talk radio flash before my eyes.

Have been a tough conversation and tough show this morning if they would have blown a ten or twelve point lead in the final minute and a half.

So but going back to what I was talking about a minute ago with the DraftKings beat thing, I just had a feeling that Kentucky was going to win that game, like they are not going to lose this game. I don't know why I had that filling, but again I was too late to place the bet on it.

Every now and on the on the TV. So but yeah, I mean, it was just a great day of college basketball, especially in the SEC tournament. Outside of the SEC Tournament, we saw Louisville hit a buzzer beater against Stanford to advance in their conference tournament and Cooper Flagg got hurt with a turned ankle.

But you know, if you listen to Mark Pope's comments like I said earlier after the game, and you'll try to red Yeah, he caught it devastating. I don't know that he uses that word if it's just something that you know, he's gonna keep them out for a game or two, right and almost you know, if you're trying to read between the lines and you know, this is nothing other than that it feels like this may be a situation of where they don't have them for the rest of the year.

Ryan, didn't you call a one point game in the eighties? Yeah, I did sleep at a holiday and express list. Uh yeah, I just, I just I said eighty one eighty and I guess was eighty five eighty four. But I didn't think it would go down to the last position because that's just how the game went in Oklahoma and Oklahoma, you know, and I just thought it was going to be a and you know, Kentucky came out and threw a haymaker right out the start of the they you know, laid a big knockout punch on Oklahoma, and Oklahoma battle back, and then it was back and forth the whole way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like to think of myself as an uh huh yeah. But you know, victory lab I thought, you know, Kentucky would blow them out. Just because the first game was in Oklahoma. This game was essentially a home game. I mean, have you seen the pictures, Billy, of of all the Kentucky fans like going into the arena. I mean, it's insane. There's not another you can't find, like one fan base, one fan of another team, and that entire picture, it's all Kentucky fans in there.

Billy, we were talking about the price of a beer there at the stadium because they're actually, for the first time this year selling beer to the general public. Did you see how much a beer is there? How much of them set you back?

Tall Boy was like seventeen fifty seventeen fifty, So that might've been part of the reason that wasn't too much of a drunk crowd last night. Yeah, listen, I'll just sneak a fireball thing in I don't need a week's paycheck to go to one beer. But you know what, that's went in Rome, right, and a lot of people are using their vacation days for the SEC tournament. I'm glad you brought up that eight to zero run at the beginning because the pot from the UK crowd. I mean I thought the game was over right there.

Oh yeah, yeah, it kind of felt like it. I mean, they jumped out early and I thought, man, they're just going to bury this team. But then Oklahoma fall back, and you know, even at the end, when it's two minutes left and they're up by twelve points, you think, well, this one's over. You feel good about it. And yeah, I don't know that any Kentucky fans left, But if I were at the game and you're up twelve points and I was gonna beat the crowd, I might say, let's get out of here. They've won this game.

Well, you had a great experience then for your very first one. I feel like the rest of them were going to be a letdown after that being your very first game.

Oh, let me let me tell you. Let me tell you, man, that whole thing at the end that the turnovers happened so quick that when they went up with five seconds, it was like everybody got punched in the stomach. It's like nobody could breathe and there was moaning, And I don't know if anybody breathed during that time out. And when the ball came in that they came right at us on our side, Otaga did, and I don't think everybody breathed in during that five seconds. And when he turned that corner against three people, we were all like, oh, my God, and please go in. And when it went in, it was like it was like a seventy percent war because there was like, you know, five tenths of a second left and then they the ball the other end and everybody was like, you know until that ball hit the floor. And then when the ball at the floor, I thought we were going to storm the court.

It was close, it was ridiculous, and we were chanting oh way, oh way twenty thirty minutes afterwards as we're leaving, like you said, everybody who didn't want to leave, And when we leave the half hour later, everybody's chanting a way away away, oh way.

Yeah, it was definitely a fun atmosphere. I mean, I wasn't there, but I could, you know, just watching it on TV and just being just a part of all of everything going on in Broadway, you know, throughout the day. It's it's it's just a level of excitement that you only get at the SEC Tournament.

But good thing you didn't go like you know, last year or maybe the year before, you'd have a different outlook on alf on the tournament actually is.

And I feel like that all underlines why last night was so special. I mean, I don't think that you can hide it that this fan base has been thirsty for a win. They had won in Nashville since twenty nineteen, right, So.

Yeah, it goes to show you at this time last year, after our first SEC tournament game, our fan base was screaming at our coach as he walked off the court. Last night, after the first SEC game, our fan base is celebrating this guy on our coach and putting him up on a pedestal. So quite a difference one year makes.

Billy Shann and Ryan Man, I'm so excited and pumped up. What a game we have played him? Other than those two guards, I know they got one big man to come in, but those two guards were Oklahoma were tough. And one thing we've got to do, We've got to work on that press, especially what you know, two of our top players out or three of our top players out, I don't know who needs to bring that ball up if if we don't have a you know, a regular you know, can't think of his name, but yeah, a guy with a shoulder, I can't think his name. I'm alwaying forget sometime. Yeah, butler man, we've got to work on that press because that kind of reminded me of the Dream Game when that game was so good and then Louis will put the press on. Then I go all the way back to Alabama Birmingham when they play Kentucky and pressed them. We definitely got to work on that press. And I don't know who should be handling press. I know Joby Hall brought to sam Buia when they played them again, helping bring it press the Dickie Bill. But Buddy, y'all do a fabulous job. And one of these days I'm gonna make it down there, and one of these days I'm gonna come see you play Shannon for I die and one of these days I wanna go see Kentucky play, buddy.

Uh but yeah, I mean, there's no doubt that it's it's tough breaking a full court press when you don't have a primary ball handler. You got three guys injured on the bench that could be doing that for you. So who takes that role? Is it Colin Chandler's role to take Shannon? Because I feel like he's been the one that's been playing the best.

You know, Oklahoma saw that there was a weakness there. They exploited that late in the game and we're able to put some pressure on Kentucky force them to turn the ball over. So you know, you got to think that other teams, if they're in that situation, they're going to look at exactly what Oklahoma did and try to applaud that same pressure late in the game.
