Welcome everyone. It is the local twenty Dealers KSR postgame show. I am Matt Jones here on the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving talking with you as the Cats beat Western eighty seven to sixty nine and kind of a disjointed, ugly game in Repperena, first game of the year. Kentucky hasn't covered or hit their over, but still gets a victory at home to go to six and oh on the season, first time. They've been six and oh since twenty seventeen, so it's been a while since we've gotten this number, but we have now and you can give a shout. Listen, this is the last postgame show before Thanksgiving. So if you have things that you are thankful for, this is what we're gonna do. Billy. Everyone that calls has to tell me something they're thankful for. And it can't be like your wife or your kids, or your family or something like that. You know what I mean. It can't be like it can't be like a member of your family or your girlfriend. Does that make sense?

It can't be like it can't be like a member of your family or your girlfriend. Does that make sense?

It does? I think that's you have to be thankful.

It does? I think that's you have to be thankful.

You have to be it's thankful of something that it and it can be like something serious or it can be something goodfy, but it just can't be famous. I don't want everybody calling and go, I'm thankful for my loving kids and all that. Like, we get it. You like your kids, you like your wife, you like your husband. I understand that this is thankful for something else or someone else, all right, So that's what we'll do if I'm nine to eight twenty two eighty seven, So don't leave me hanging here with thankfulness right before Thanksgiving. I'm thankful Kentucky got the victory over Western Kentucky. I never really felt like the game was in danger. But I also do not think Kentucky played well. I mean, it's a testament to how good this team is offensively that I actually think they played pretty poorly offensively and scored eighty seven points. That's that's that's really impressive. I thought defensively, Kentucky was pretty good really until the end, and then Western was so exhausted they couldn't hit shots. You know, I think our our pay and Western's a very fast paced team themselves, but our pace of play and our pressure, I think wearing teams down is really going to be something we do really well this year, especially early in the year. You know, that might might change a little bit as the year goes on, but as teams get more in shape. But early in the year, I think, I think our pace has been a really important thing really all season long, and I felt like I felt like tonight it was like that as well. You know, some thoughts are some of our top guys really showed up when it mattered. Otega Oway was excellent. I mean, he is making a case to say, you know what, maybe it's not Jackson Robinson it's the best player. Maybe it's me. Six for fourteen from the field, got some big buckets. Another big game for Andrew Carr eighteen points, ten boards. I think now the two most physical games that Kentucky's played, which have been this game in the game, have also been Andrew Carr's two best games. Maybe something to watch going forward because I think I think the scouting report on playing against Kentucky is gonna be to go physical. I think that's gonna be to the extent there's a legacy of this game. I think teams are gonna look at this game and say, get physical with Kentucky, get in their face, make them out physical you, and make them beat you off the dribble because they Western really played tight, physical defense. It led to forty nine fouls being called, which is too many. But I think you're gonna see what what Western did tonight is what I think some of the untalented teams in the SEC are how they're gonna try to play Kentucky. So I think your South Carolinas, your Mississippi States, your Missouri's that the way Western played, I think is how they're gonna play. I think this is how Clemson will play us next week or yeah, I guess it is next week, a week two, a week from tonight that I think we'll see more of this because Western had some success doing that as well. Kobe Braya started one for five from three, but hit two big ones. I thought in the second half he had nine, and then Kirk Crease, I thought, with a really good game with eight some struggles. Jackson Robinson two for nine, not one of his best games. I still don't think we've seen the best of him yet. It's shown up in a couple of instances, but probably our two most difficult games, Duke and Western have been his two worst games. So I'm hoping that we have during this Clemson Gonzaga stretch. One of these tough games. I want to see him play. I want to see him play well in a tough game. It was not a good night for Amari Williams. He did end up with ten rebounds and he had eight points, but there was some ugly offense. He had six turnovers in the first half. And you know, I heard Pope say in his comments after the game that Omaro will get better at initiating the offense. That's my only my We were talking about how there's like nothing to complain about about the Pope era, and I really don't think there is. If I could, if I had to have one small complaint, I'm not a big fan of the awe of seeing our center when it is either Williams or Garrison dribbling and driving to the basket from the top of the key. I don't. I don't think that's their strength. And a Mari's a good passer, but I think he's a He also throws some bad passes, So I get that. A big part of the way Mark does it is by having the five out there, uh basically, and you know, at the top of the key, you get four playmakers with opportunities to get to the basket. I get the theory behind it, and you've seen in the NBA with Jokic and Anthony Davis and guys that can do that, how effective that could be. You know, I just I don't know if that's Amar Williams and Brandon Garrison or not. There have been some good moments, but tonight we see when they kind of get the idea, especially a Mari to take to the basket. I don't know that that's our most effective thing in the world. But they did rebound the ball well. And you know this is nitpicking. We won by nineteen points, right, I mean, Western Kentucky is a good not a great team, but a good team, and they won by nineteen points. And honestly, I think they cut it to six at one point in the second half, but the game never really felt in danger to me at any point. Billy is here, Billy is a Western fan. Did you feel like that was a good performance from your Hilltoppers?

You have to be it's thankful of something that it and it can be like something serious or it can be something goodfy, but it just can't be famous. I don't want everybody calling and go, I'm thankful for my loving kids and all that. Like, we get it. You like your kids, you like your wife, you like your husband.

Did you feel like that was a good performance from your Hilltoppers?

Yes, yes, it's very satisfied with the fight and the effort those guys show tonight. I mean I was feeling it, and when there were only six points down in the second half, I know you didn't feel it, but I sure did well.

Yes, yes, it's very satisfied with the fight and the effort those guys show tonight. I mean I was feeling it, and when there were only six points down in the second half, I know you didn't feel it, but I sure did well.

I mean, I think they were one or two possessions away from it being a real game. I mean, I think if they could have gotten it, I think after it was six, we came down and I think we got a two straight layups, maybe on back to back plays, which got it to ten. But if it had gotten or four, Billy I would have been a little concerned. You know.

But if it had gotten or four, Billy I would have been a little concerned. You know.

At one point Western's big had some cramps and had to go out, and that allowed Mark Pope to go small. So we saw Kobe Brea, Jackson, Robinson and Otega away on the floor at the same time.

At one point Western's big had some cramps and had to go out, and that allowed Mark Pope to go small. So we saw Kobe Brea, Jackson, Robinson and Otega away on the floor at the same time.

And I don't think there's any doubt. I think the best version of Kentucky offensively is with Carr at the five, but they really do suffer with that group in rebounding, in defense. So you know, it's a constant balance because but I don't think there's any doubt when they want to score car at the five, Robinson or Brea at the four, that's their best lineup to score. And so it's probably a constant balance for Pope is to can you do that without sacrificing too much defensively And the same thing happening against Duke. Remember when their big went out. We were able to do that and had a lot of success. So you know, if you're kind of drawing up the recipe of a game of a of a team to give Kentucky a hard time, you got to have a five that's like that dude was or whatever on Duke and what was the guy's name, Tonine? He was a he's a decent player. He's a good player. Yeah, he a good free throw shooter. Those guys I think will give Kentucky problems because you got to put a Mario or Garrison in to play against him, and then that does eliminate one possible shooter from the outside. But nevertheless, I think a nice win for Kentucky. I liked what Mark said after the game about this is what a first round NCAA tournament game could be like, and I think that's right. I mean, you know, we won by eighteen, but there's a world that that could have been a three point game with four minutes to go, right, and you you know, we've lost games against like this in recent years, so it was nice to see us not particularly play well, not necessarily do what we wanted to do offensively still score eighty seven points and still win by eighteen. That I mean, I don't know how you can't be generally pleased about that. So eight five, nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. Love to hear what you think about the game. There's a lot of basketball going on right now as we speak. Houston gets an and one to tie the Crimson Tide. Alabama's been up most of the game. Houston just and one to tie against Alabama. That game is on TE and T. I think on T and T right No TBS, it's on TBS right now. It's T and T Sports, but the game is on TBS right now. With five and a half minutes to go. Duke is playing Kansas. Kansas up too at halftime. Kansas got up twelve, but it's a two point game. Iowa State is playing Dayton. You got a chance to have in the Maui Invitational. Most people thought the championship would be Yukon Iowa State, And if Dayton can hold on, you might have Yukon Iowa State playing for the seventh seat, which is for seventh place. Wow, it's absolutely crazy. One of those two teams you Connor, I was taking go home with three losses in the Invitational. And how about Danny Hurley, my goodness, losing his mind out there. You gotta wonder if he spontaneously combust during their game tomorrow. Who knows? So A five nine two twenty two eighty seven, give us a shout. Let us know what you're thankful for, Grant and Nelson for Alabama stinks. We'll be right back. This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Unterback. It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. Alabama hadn't scored him five minutes and they're now down four to Houston. I'm reading a lot of messages that say, we were not on for the first three minutes of the postgame show. Why did you do that? Really? Why did you not?

And I don't think there's any doubt. I think the best version of Kentucky offensively is with Carr at the five, but they really do suffer with that group in rebounding, in defense.

I don't know what happened, but we quickly got the problem fixed and if that ever happens again, you can listen on eight whas.

I don't know what happened, but we quickly got the problem fixed and if that ever happens again, you can listen on eight whas.

But you're the producer, like, why didn't you have it all? I mean, who you? Who? Can your only person sitting there who?

But you're the producer, like, why didn't you have it all? I mean, who you? Who? Can your only person sitting there who?

I'm not blaming anybody else. I'm not blaming anybody else. I'll take the blame.

I'm not blaming anybody else. I'm not blaming anybody else. I'll take the blame.

Are you going to take the blame. Yeah, okay, I mean I'm I'm told people had to listen to Glenn Beck, Billy, it is Thanksgiving. Well, people want to be thankful to not have to listen to Glenn back, and you made them listen to Glenn Beck. I feel like you owe all of these listeners driving home an apology. They had to listen. I didn't even know Glenn Beck was still existed, and you made them listen to him. Why did you do that?

Are you going to take the blame. Yeah, okay, I mean I'm I'm told people had to listen to Glenn Beck, Billy, it is Thanksgiving.

Well, again, I'll take the blame, but I'm not apologizing for anything.

Well, again, I'll take the blame, but I'm not apologizing for anything.

So you know me, I don't understand you're going to take the blame but not apologize that. How do you make what's that distinct?

So you know me, I don't understand you're going to take the blame but not apologize that. How do you make what's that distinct?

I mean, it's my fault, but I'm not apologizing, So that's kind of what's what's happening.

I mean, it's my fault, but I'm not apologizing, So that's kind of what's what's happening.

I don't know what that means. You it was your fault, but you're not apologizing. So it's like, it's my fault, but I wanted.

I'll take the blame, but I'm not apologizing.

I'll take the blame, but I'm not apologizing.

And is that like, is that like a thing you just don't like apologizing?

And is that like, is that like a thing you just don't like apologizing?

No, I'm just uh's got a lot of irons in the fire. Mat So we're just trying to keep everything on the air, you know, all.

No, I'm just uh's got a lot of irons in the fire. Mat So we're just trying to keep everything on the air, you know, all.

Right, keep doing all right? Who's up first, Doug, Doug guy. First of all, Doug, what are you thankful for?

Right, keep doing all right? Who's up first, Doug, Doug guy. First of all, Doug, what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful that Billy messed up, so I actually got onto the radio show for the first time because.

I'm thankful that Billy messed up, so I actually got onto the radio show for the first time because.

Because nobody knew you, nobody knew who to call, all right, So that said, thank you, Billy, You're you're amazing. That said, I don't know what you talked about yet or not, Matt, I'm first time in a very long time.

Because nobody knew you, nobody knew who to call, all right, So that said, thank you, Billy, You're you're amazing. That said, I don't know what you talked about yet or not, Matt, I'm first time in a very long time.

It was.

It was.

It's fine. I mean, it's been like a decade, but fair enough.

It's fine. I mean, it's been like a decade, but fair enough.

All right, Well man, we're both from Millsborough, you know, you know my sisters.

All right, Well man, we're both from Millsborough, you know, you know my sisters.

But anyway, it's it was really refreshing tonight to watch a game where we were sloppy and struggled to shoot and generally didn't play well and you look down and we will scored, you know, ninety whatever and beat a team by over twenty like this game last year is a loss. It's not a nail bier, or maybe not last.

But anyway, it's it was really refreshing tonight to watch a game where we were sloppy and struggled to shoot and generally didn't play well and you look down and we will scored, you know, ninety whatever and beat a team by over twenty like this game last year is a loss. It's not a nail bier, or maybe not last.

It's a nail byer. It's a nail bier. I agree with you. First of all, who is your sister you said, just.

It's a nail byer. It's a nail bier. I agree with you. First of all, who is your sister you said, just.

First name, Amy, Kay, Amy k Okay.

First name, Amy, Kay, Amy k Okay.

I know your sister, Yes, tell her, I said, hello. The Uh, yeah, you're right. I mean, this is a game where it is a seventy three sixty eight game in years past, because we just couldn't put up, we couldn't score enough. I think to uh, the separation.

I know your sister, Yes, tell her, I said, hello. The Uh, yeah, you're right. I mean, this is a game where it is a seventy three sixty eight game in years past, because we just couldn't put up, we couldn't score enough. I think to uh, the separation.

Exactly only the worst case scenario un C. Wilmington Evansville, we actually lose.

Exactly only the worst case scenario un C. Wilmington Evansville, we actually lose.

Yeah, No, I mean it's plausible. I think those would have been plausible results now. I mean to be fair, and I appreciate the call to cal he won games like this as well. I mean, I mean they would win him. But I agree with you. I don't think the cushion would have been the same, in part because Mark Pope continues to push the pace even when things aren't going well. Cows like Col's inclination when things weren't going well was to slow it down. That was that's always his inclination. Sometimes that worked a lot of times it didn't. Mark's Pope. Mark Pope's view is all right, we haven't scored. We're going to keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. And that might result in the game sometime this year where a two point deficit becomes twelve or fourteen because we didn't slow it down. But I also think it leads to EUROP six and you quickly get it out to fourteen, And so I think that is what happened tonight. So I agree with you. I think that this would have been I'm not gonna say it certainly would have been a loss, but I do think it was a game that would have been potentially a lot closer in a different style. And like you said, to score eighty what was it, eighty seven, eighty nine, eighty seve eighty Yeah, to score to score eighty seven in a game where you don't particularly play well, is is really actually really really good?

Yeah, No, I mean it's plausible. I think those would have been plausible results now. I mean to be fair, and I appreciate the call to cal he won games like this as well. I mean, I mean they would win him. But I agree with you. I don't think the cushion would have been the same, in part because Mark Pope continues to push the pace even when things aren't going well.

I think that this would have been I'm not gonna say it certainly would have been a loss, but I do think it was a game that would have been potentially a lot closer in a different style. And like you said, to score eighty what was it, eighty seven, eighty nine, eighty seve eighty Yeah, to score to score eighty seven in a game where you don't particularly play well, is is really actually really really good?

One you said that you know, it got down the sixth in the second half, it didn't ever feel like w K you was ever actually go and like make a run, just because I just didn't think they could hit enough shots, and just because every time they threw up a three, you feel like a brick every single time.

Okay, so great question, fair foul. I'm gonna say fair to watch it. I will sometimes put on another game or something during the game on my phone foul to have the sound going. So I think it is fair if they're if they want to do basketball slash Dancing with the Stars, fair foul to make other people have to listen to it. And the chances are whoever did that is either listening to this show or someone is listening who knows them. You need to tell them that they can't be playing Dancing with the Stars sound during the Kentucky game.

I enjoyed the game very very much, but I'm kind of like the other guy. For whatever reason, it just seemed like the fans, I don't know what it was, just like everything was off. I mean, there wasn't even a whole lot of electricity in rapp Arena to get, you know, to get behind these guys there was like a you know, there were you know, there were a couple of times where it felt like they were getting into it. And I don't know if it was just the fouls that were called, and I thought there were there was a lot. I think there was a bit too many fouls that were called.

Yeah, I think it's a hard game. It's you're exactly right, it's and you're exactly right, and I appreciate the call. It's hard. It was a hard game for I think a crowd to get into it because it started and stop so much. I mean, there were so many fouls that it was hard to get a flow, which makes it hard to get the crowd into it. And just the way the game where Kentucky would be up four, then up ten, then it's back to six, up twelve, then it's eight. There just weren't runs. And I don't think the crowd was ever really into it. And I it was, from what I understand, a huge crowd, but you know, they're just there. Just wasn't I think a chance for it to get energetic. You know, I always see online people will say when we're not playing, well, come on, crowd, why aren't you into Well? I mean it's a two. It's a The team has to play their part in it as well. It's hard to get really excited when you're losing or not playing well. So, you know, I just think this was one of those games. It was so I think at the word that you said was disjointed. Uh, And I think that's that's right. I've seen trample by Turtles Billy by.

Well, I agree with all those those are I think really three very good points. Appreciates call We've talked a lot about the bench coaching appreciates call the third one. I totally agree with you, and I think the length is an underrated part of this team. We are long and even I think our guards are longer than I thought they were. Oh Way and Jackson Robinson and Lamont Butler, they're sort of wingspan. I don't know what it is officially, but it's longer than I realized. They're able to get hands on shots and on passes. Obviously, a Marii Williams and Brandon Garrison a long, but those those guards have a lot longer wingspans than I think I knew uh before the season started. A five nine eight Oho twenty two eighty seven. By the way, Grant Nelson on Alabama literally looks like he could be like a country act playing with that mustache. He kind of looks like that singer. I like that Zach Top guy Billy you've seen you know what I'm talking about on Alabama used to play for North No.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Random this?

Random this?

Yeah, that's It's very refreshing to be able to say, oh, we're up by only fifteen, but we're still We're not even playing that great, but we're still up fifteen. Otherwise, you know, if there was some other coach, we might be down I don't know, maybe twenty.

Well, I do think that the way this is part of the way Mark continues. You know, the way he approaches these games is they continually go. I think there's going to be a game this year, and I'm gonna be fair when it happens, because I expect that his philosophy of just continue going and up tempo, don't stop, is going to cause us to lose a game by a substantial margin sometime. But I think it's worth it. For got games like tonight where if he had slowed down the pace, this could have been a five point game and it's eighteen because he continued the philosophy he has.

Oh.

Oh.

I definitely think it's more data that he's collecting, so it's all good. I think he's gonna have us ready for the next team and we'll just learn from each game.

Totally agree appreciate the call. There'll be one good team, Billy. We will play a good team, might be Gonzaga, could be a team in SEC play where we're just not playing well and we play somebody good and our style of pushing the ball and shooting threes will be off and it'll cause a game that Cal probably could have kept within six or seven. But we'd have still lost. We'll lose by eighteen or twenty. You know how Alabama lost us last year? You remember in rup they lost us by like thirty. Part of that was because Natots never stops being Natots, right, and so it caused them to get the breaks beat off of them last year. Whereas he could have maybe slowed tempo down and kept that closer, he kept playing his tempo and he lost by thirty. We're gonna have a game like that, I bet you. But I think you have one of those. But the counter to that is games like tonight are not close, whereas if you got off your normal style they might be.

Yeah, I also heard Pope say something to the fact of the first half is entirely just for collecting data. So I mean this team is going to adjust when they probably have a night like that, right, I'm.

Sure that's true. I don't know if it'll be that, if it'll be if he believes that in the elite eight of the tournament, but I mean, I'm sure against Western in November that is probably true. You know, I'm sure he does look at it like that. Alabama now up four on Houston with a minute and a half to go to over time. I do not know why did Mario put Houston in the KSR parlay? I picked I picked Alabama on the show. Did the other guys all pick Houston.

As Maybe he just wanted to be a part of it.

Because I have an Alabama Duke Iowa State parlay for a significant sum is Iowa State winning? Alabama is now up for Iowa State is up one. Uh, Dayton's come back and Duke's down too. So if there's still a chance that can hit, all right, who's next?

So so I'm sitting here cheering for Duke and I hate it, but man, I want them to win.

It helps our it helps our resume. I mean, they won at Arizona by double digits. If they were to beat Kansas, the number one team in America, and we have the win against them. One of things you have to remember about Duke this year, The ACC stinks Okay, so the ACC is awful, so they're not gonna get a whole lot of chances to get good wins just because they play Kansas tonight, and I think they play Auburn next week, and that's kind of the last really good games they're gonna play. So I do think if you want our resume to look good, you kind of would like to see them win at least the game tonight Auburn. We're gonna play them both anyway, so it won't really matter.

Yeah, I completely agree.

It just it.

Just hurts Matt.

It hurts it's Duke.

I don't know. Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, I appreciate, I mean, oh no, go ahead, how about cart you caught him off? I'm sorry, you can't. Can't pause too long or I think you're done. Kerr. Since you brought up Kerr, I thought he played great. Those two threes were big, Billy, those were at times we needed them, both of them, and uh, he has the gumption to take him thought he you know, got his hands on a couple of steals. I thought this was Kerr played really well against Duke. It's interesting we were talking about how Jackson Robinson's two worst games have been our two toughest games. I think Kerr's two best games have been our two toughest games.

Uh So Kerr had an offensive valley, kind of put an elbow to a guy's face and then he hit like a three right after.

So that was what he did, kind of throw that guy floor. But that's what you get with him, man Like, he's gonna bring it, and you need a dude like that. I think every team needs a guy like that, and uh he's a good one to have. I like his role. I think he plays the right amount of minutes. I think he's exactly what you're looking for. And Alabama Houston has turned into an absolute wrestling match. Guy's flying on the floor everywhere.
