Welcome everyone to the local Toyota dealers KSR post game show. What a night as the Cats go down to Fayetteville and defeat The Arkansas razorbacks 85 to 77. Mark Pope gets his revenge on John Caliperi. We'll talk about it all tonight. Give us a call, 859-280-2287. And joining me tonight in the celebration is the only KSR personality to pick the Cats to beat Arkansas today. That is Nick Roush who is live in living color in studio.
- [02:48]
Billy Rutledge
Feels good. It feels great. You know, there's a lot of haters, there's a lot of doubters out there. I never had a doubt, Billy, not for a second. And, and you know, a lot of people, they, they criticized me a year ago because I was the only one who picked Cal in Arkansas to come to Rupp and win. Because here's the thing. I know Cal, I've seen this before. It's been, it's 15 years of it, right? Sometimes he does the thing where he gets to play the underdog card, us against the world, no pressure on and he gets his guys playing great. Well, what happens when the shoe's on the other foot and he's playing a team that's got really no pressure on them at all. They had nothing to lose down there at Bud Walton. It just come off a tough, tough loss. And Pope got his guys ready to go. Cal, they were not ready to go. And I, I could feel it. I could feel it. My plums. We knew this was going to happen. I. All the doubters out there, I'm sure all of you are going to call in and say, I knew the whole time. Don't kid yourself. Everybody expected OAs, but not, not everybody's a ball knower, Billy. And you brought in, you were smart. You hit me up today and said I need a ball knower. And so you got me in the seat. And we're, I'm so excited to talk about this. One of the biggest wins of the Pope era, one that Kentucky fans are going to be talking about for a long, long, long, long time.
- [04:07]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I think you're exactly right, Nick. I mean, this win exercised some demons, there's no doubt. I mean, it's not going to completely correct the season and some of the struggles that they've had, but this could be a launching point for what the rest of this year could be with. We saw some great play again by Otega O. We saw Mark Pope get a technical. We saw a lot of technical, interesting ref show that I'm sure we'll get maybe one or more call on.
- [04:29]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, yeah.
- [04:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
But it's good to see you, buddy. Thanks for joining me here.
- [04:34]
Billy Rutledge
I'm happy to. I just, I'm. Oh, man. It's just this is, this is going to be a great night. So please join us, 859-280-2287. We're going to be calling, talking about this for the next hour. It's going to be so much fun. Pour yourself an ice cold beverage and enjoy the spoils of war. Tonight's night. We get to relish, we get to enjoy and let's just, let's do the mad thing. Let's talk about the, how it all happened, the anatomy of an upset. How do you go on the road and beat a top 15 team. When you're an underdog, well, first things first, you need your best player to play like it. And Otega away did that tonight in non conference play. You could tell something was a little off with him, right? Like something was just wasn't really there. You know, it's like, okay, you got 16 points, but it took you 30, 13 shots to get there. Otega was a little off. He's been awesome in SEC play and he was awesome again tonight, 24 points. And the funny thing, I thought Billy is, you know, framed for Schiller. He gets paid much more than we do to provide basketball analysis and he's just, just put your head down and get to the rim and it's like, it sounds really dumb, but just, just do it. And Otega away, he did it over and over and over again. Here's another thing too. If you want to go on the road and win, what do you need to do? Don't start slow. Can you?
- [05:49]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I can't believe it. No, I can't.
- [05:51]
Billy Rutledge
Every, I mean, it felt like the last month they've just been walking out there like Malik Thomas with a shovel, going to work and digging themselves in a hole every single game. By the time that ESPN flipped it over, Kentucky was up 12 to 5. There was a lot of people who were just like, I don't want to flip it over to espnu. This game is almost over anyway. I'm not going to miss anything. They're going to be done. Oh, no. Kentucky starts hot. They put game pressure on Arkansas. And when you're the underdog, you got to apply pressure. Intense moments. And the other part, like basketball is a shot making game. It's very simple. The team that makes shots, they're going to win. Kentucky made 54% of their shots. More importantly, they outscored Arkansas by nine points at the three point line. And they also made three more free throws. Not, not the best free throw shooting night for either team. Mr. Rutledge.
- [06:42]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, you, you talk about this fast start. I mean, they started 10 of 11 from the field. 10 of 11. I mean, how bad was the start versus Vandy? I think they were 3 of 20 to start that game to then go 10 of 11. I mean, I don't know if this team only thought that they had one game this week and they were just so focused on beating Cal in Arkansas, but to go into your arena and beat your team. Yeah, heard that one before.
- [07:06]
Billy Rutledge
Heard it before.
- [07:07]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It was just sweet. And just how much the loss last Year was crushing. We spent the entire year saying they had to win one game. Last year was Arkansas at Rupp arena for Pope to win this game. Now in Arkansas, when Arkansas is the highest rated team in the AP right now in the SEC at 15 and with how bad Kentucky's been playing, this is just, it's a momentous occasion. There's no doubt.
- [07:29]
Billy Rutledge
And the other part, when you get in these games against big time teams who like, let's be, let's face it, they're more talented than Kentucky, right? This is a flawed Kentucky basketball team. Probably not going to be winning SEC championships and going to final fours, but they're good enough to beat good teams. It's just how, how do you react when things get tight? And let's be real, there was a moment there where a lot of that doubt that, that first have joy and jubilation. People started thinking, oh God, they're going to lose to Cal again because things got off the wire. When you want to upset a team on the road, you got to weather the storm when things aren't going your way. And by God, Billy, I don't know if things could have gone worse for that short little stretch where three technical fouls were called in 38 seconds, right? Wrong.
- [08:17]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Up and down. Up or down. I don't know if anybody could predict what Doug Schles was going to do in those 38 seconds.
- [08:23]
Billy Rutledge
So the first one, Brandon Garrison, he earned.
- [08:26]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
He did a brain and Garrison tough guy thing.
- [08:28]
Billy Rutledge
Like which, like, dude, you just, you just played awesome defense on Darius Acuff. Okay, but you don't have to just flex dim bones right over top of him like that was a very dumb BG thing. And like, okay, I get it. Let's move on. The technical that Doug Shows called on mode. I'm so glad, so, so glad that we are talking about this after win because you sound like a sore loser to talk about bad calls after a loss. But Billy, it's not hyperbole to say that that might be the worst call in the history of officiating. I mean, the hook, I guess it was last Saturday.
- [09:13]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Oh yeah.
- [09:13]
Billy Rutledge
The hook that were away was getting grabbed. It was, it was the. That was a terrible call. Modi just swats the shot and flexes in the crowd and Doug show sees him up.
- [09:24]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
What?
- [09:25]
Billy Rutledge
What? In what world There. That is never ever, ever a technical. It happens every single time that something like that happens. It's the most basic basketball player. And Doug Scho's like, you know what? Time for me to be the center of attention.
- [09:38]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
We.
- [09:40]
Billy Rutledge
And then to make matters worse, Denzel, Aberdeen. Can we get a little urgency in the backcourt? Right, like, I mean, come on, get up the court. I, I thought he got across. I thought he made it in time. They called the 10 second violation. Pope loses it. He gets teed up. You know what? Good on you, Pope. Stand up for your guys. That the fact that they had all of that go wrong for them. 7 Arkansas run. It feels like all hope is lost. Credit to this team. Who. How many times have people called in to this show and complained about the mental makeup of this team?
- [10:15]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Often.
- [10:16]
Billy Rutledge
I mean, look at them. They're. They, they kind of smile. They almost smiled in a press conference. They said touch money when they were breaking. The people nitpick this team to death. But they have showed some real emotional resiliency this year and they deserve credit for that, especially in this one because they could have packed their bags and they could have called it a day. You know what? They didn't send Colin Chandler, went down there, hit a huge three to really do the shamwow and plug the leak. Right. It calmed everybody down. It was nice. They had a couple of timeouts on the floor, but the fact that they weathered that storm. Shout out to this Kentucky Wildcats team, thank you for delivering a win that we can all celebrate tonight because that was, that was one hell of a win.
- [11:02]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, you know, Tom and Goose thought the same thing about the mo Technical foul. I think we all did. But it was the, the double tech in the first half that got Goose's attention. You know where OA got into a scuffle with the other guys. He's not letting taking anybody's BS in this game. That is exactly what Jack was looking for. He talked about on the broadcast how I wanted to see some fight from this team. Maybe not just figurative fight, but an actual fight.
- [11:27]
Billy Rutledge
Right.
- [11:28]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Like sometimes enough is enough. And maybe Kentucky had finally reached that breaking point going on the road, everybody counting them out except Nick Roush. In the Commonwealth of Kentucky, when your back is against the wall, you see people play their best. And maybe that was a little bit of that tonight for Kentucky.
- [11:46]
Billy Rutledge
Two players that deserve a shout out. Obviously we're, we're going to shout a bunch of them out. But Chandler hit that big three. He had a huge and one right before half two. That's going to get overlooked, but I don't know how the hell he made that. And then into the game, it's a six point game. Things are getting a little tight.
- [12:01]
Nick Roush
Right?
- [12:02]
Billy Rutledge
We Might be getting into a free throw shooting competition. I don't think anybody want to see either of these teams of the free throw shooting competition. Who knows what would happen? He comes in cold off the bench, hits the little fade away, that gets it to 8 and really deliver the dagger. And then the other one is who Goose talked to in the post games. Trent.
- [12:16]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
No, that guy, he looked great. I mean, he. He did what he needed to do.
- [12:21]
Billy Rutledge
Tough.
- [12:21]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah.
- [12:22]
Billy Rutledge
Every tough rebound he gets. I know everybody wants to talk about his shooting ability, and frankly, it's. If there's one real big X and O's thing Kentucky needs to do, that guy's a great shooter. Run plays to get him shots. Right. Can we. Can we do that? But it wasn't the threes that he hit.
- [12:40]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It.
- [12:40]
Billy Rutledge
Said he was gritting and grinding some tough, tough rebounds. He's an undersized guy who is just out there against these NBA dudes. Like, no, I'm getting this rebound. You're going to foul me. I'm going to go down and make two free throws.
- [12:51]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
The other end, he was shushing the crowd. I love that. And hopefully, you know, maybe shushing some former Wildcat players who were very vocal online when Arkansas came in to Rupp arena and beat Kentucky. Didn't see much of that.
- [13:03]
Billy Rutledge
No.
- [13:03]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
After the game, Nick. Which was strange.
- [13:05]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Funny how that works out. You know, it was. Speaking of funny, isn't it hilarious to just look at the Arkansas bench? I mean.
- [13:16]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
You mean like Chin Coleman?
- [13:17]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, it's all those guys. I mean, I wish we got a little bit more crowd work from espn. They're terrible at their jobs. They don't know how to run a college basketball game. You think with all the games they have, they would know how to really maximize broadcast. They stink at it replays. Whole nine yards. I hadn't seen a lot of Cal shots. And there was one time out where they go towards the bench and they see Cal. And then you see Kenny Payne just sitting there doing nothing. His signature look, right? And then Chuck Martin, his pocket square, it looked like a bouquet of flowers. Like, Chuck, you don't have to be that loud, man. Like, I can. I can hear you through my tv and your mouth's close. And usually it's Bruiser who's chomping on that gum. Oh, Chin. Just that poor gum. Oh, poor bastards.
- [14:06]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, you know, as you were looking at the sideline, people were also looking into the stands where there was a Kentucky fan with a sign that said, what was it We Miss you, Cal. I miss you, Cal.
- [14:15]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Yeah.
- [14:16]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And I think that would have had a little bit more gravity if Kentucky would have lost that game. But now, you know, Cal said Mark Pope was the perfect man for this job. And I'm not going to wipe away all the criticism we've given Pope this.
- [14:29]
Billy Rutledge
Year because he deserves plenty of.
- [14:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
He hasn't lived up to expectations, especially with this roster. But is there a chance that he is the right guy for this job?
- [14:38]
Billy Rutledge
I think it's silly to do a lot of the torches, pitchforks, we're going to throw him out of town thing when pretty much every important player he's had has gotten injured. So like. And that's not what saying in Jane Quain's, criticize him all you want. That's a risk he took for that guy. But I will give Pope a lot of credit for masking his mistake. His big mistake this offseason was that he got away from his formula. Right? Like the way that Mark Pope coaches basketball teams. It's not with a roster built like this. He felt like he needed to build a roster like this to win games like tonight against Arkansas in the sec. Well, you know what, he doesn't really know how to coach that way though. So that's what's gotten us into this predicament to this point because he's not used to coaching guys like this. Not a lot of shooters space the floor out. But you know what, he's figured it out and you got to tip your cap to him. Give him a lot of Credit. Another top 15 win. I know Corey Price had a stat for that, but last year Kentucky set the record for top 15 wins against AP opponents. So add another one to him, I guess that's 10 so far in his short two year tender. He has still plenty to prove, but. And a lot to work on. But to go out and get your guys to bounce back after that Vanderbilt game, right, Because a lot of what people question Pope about Billy is it's that intangible stuff. Pope soft. Is he even screaming? Is he built for this? He can't do it. He. He took one to the chin. His team, they. They got their ass kicked. That was as bad as it could get on Tuesday. And what did he do? He got his guys back in the gym. They didn't waiver, they didn't flinch and he got them ready to play. They started fast for the first time, forever. They fixed some big problems. It's not a perfect team and it's not going to be a perfect team. But they're going to deliver some fun wins. And I know there's a lot of people out there right now listening, probably said, hey, we're not going to get a lot, but if we could just get one. Get the one at Arkansas. They didn't say that. They said get the one at Tennessee. Well, he got both of them.
- [16:46]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Then embarrassed against Vandy. But then you come back and win a big game like this, like it's impossible to predict. Unless you're Nick Roush. Unless you're Nick Roush predicting, making the picks.
- [16:57]
Billy Rutledge
Well, they pay me the big bucks.
- [16:58]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Billy, you ready to take some calls?
- [16:59]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, cannot wait to take some calls. It's going to be a glorious post game show. Drinking Arkansas tears. We're going to be calling the hogs.
- [17:07]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
859-28022.
- [17:09]
Billy Rutledge
Get your hog in there, boy.
- [17:10]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Give us a call. We'll hand the reins over to Nick Roush some more here on the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show.
- [17:16]
Billy Rutledge
This is the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. I'm Nick Roush. You think I'm a football guy, but I'm also a basketball knower. And I'm hanging out with Billy. Our sports Billy Rutledge and the beautiful. Look at that. Look at that scenic downtown. Y' all got a great up here. Now.
- [17:31]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
You got to see the behind the scenes on game day, too.
- [17:34]
Billy Rutledge
I know.
- [17:35]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
You got to see the operation people.
- [17:37]
Billy Rutledge
You work hard, Billy. There's a lot of cutting and editing. There's. There's a lot going on here.
- [17:42]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, thank you.
- [17:43]
Billy Rutledge
And you deserve a tip of the cap. It was very cool driving in and there was some college guys who were bouncing around between bars doing Cat's Chance on Vine Street.
- [17:52]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It feels right, doesn't it?
- [17:53]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, man, feels so good to get a big win. We're going to talk about all night. We're going to talk about with you. Give us a call. 859-280-2287. Who we got? Who got it first? Billy?
- [18:04]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
All right, let's start with Richard. Richard, you're up first.
- [18:09]
Nick Roush
Hey, what a night. Isn't it great to be a Kentucky fan? So three injuries of our best players. We don't get any of the players we go for first. We get. I mean, how much adversity does this fan base go through? And you know what? I appreciate you talking about the people who have doubted Pope or unfairly criticized him. Yes, we've had bad games and bad decisions and mistakes and we've laid eggs, but you wouldn't have thought we just came off a five game winning streak. You wouldn't have thought that we beat the best Duke team since Zion Williamson with a bunch, with a, with a roster of, you know, guys who weren't great, weren't big targets and weren't big players. But they came here and Pope coached them into a win over Cooper Flack, he coached them over. You coach them through a win over the Florida Gators who won the national championship. We won against Tennessee three times, now beat Illinois. I think Pope. If you don't think Pope is the guy, what else do you want? This is going to be a long term culture build like Izzo and Michigan State in five years. He's not going to have to preach to anyone, not fans, not recruits about what Kentucky is. He's going to have built it. It will be self evident in our wins, in our. You can already tell the rough atmosphere's changed. I mean, we boo players because we're amped. No other fan base in the country is going to do that. No other fan base in the country is going to light up like we do in those games where we did boo when we get hot. We are a very loud crowd. And I mean, no matter. And if you're a recruit looking at this, what else do you want? I mean literally, what else do you want? Hope is the guy.
- [19:58]
Billy Rutledge
I want more wins like this. And that's, that's what's beautiful, is that it can change so quickly. It can change on the drop of a hat. You can think that everything is going down the toilet and then you go on the road, you beat your former coach who's got his best point guard like that. That's the thing with Cal. Cal's at his best when he has an outstanding point guard. He's got one of those guys in Kentucky. Did he make a shot in the first half, Billy?
- [20:26]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I don't think he did.
- [20:28]
Billy Rutledge
Kentucky brought their A game.
- [20:31]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
They did, they did. And I, and I got to say, I mean, for a fan base that was told that they're unrealistic this morning.
- [20:38]
Billy Rutledge
We got to talk about that.
- [20:39]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
For a fan base that, you know, went through Cal and him coming back to RUP and getting that win, I think this was cathartic. I mean, in a lot of ways this is, I think if people were teetering on getting off, maybe the, the, the Pope bus, maybe they're, they're jumping back on it after a win like this.
- [20:56]
Billy Rutledge
It's very funny, Billy, because I tried to look up Seth Greenberg, KSR and there are like 10 articles of him explaining to fans there's one unwarranted arrogance where he just thinks Kentucky basketball fans expectations are too high. Billy, how many years did it take John Caliperi to win a national championship?
- [21:16]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Not many.
- [21:17]
Billy Rutledge
Three? Three? Took him two to get to a final four. How many years it takes Tubby Smith to win a national championship?
- [21:21]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Not many at all.
- [21:22]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, took him one. Took Rick four years to get to a final four and one of those was on probation. Joey Hall. It didn't take him long to get to a final four either. Kentucky fans have final four expectations because we are Kentucky basketball. We set the standard. It's a very high one. I don't care if it's gold, silver, platinum, whatever it may be, we have high expectations. We do not. Like when Kentucky loses about 25 points. We are going to be pissed. That's right. And you deserve to be mad for that. But you know what? As long I feel like if I'm not going to tell you how to fan, I'm just only going to stay mad at the things that that I think actually matter. And one of those is, hey Pope, you can't keep digging yourself into double digit deficits and expect to pull a rabbit out of your hat. You did it twice and you got really lucky with that LLC one. Like let's be really lucky so you couldn't keep doing that. And you know what? He got it fixed. And you know, I don't. I probably disagree with that caller on like 5 years then we'll judge it. No, no, no. This is a different time in college basketball but it's good to see his coaching chops come out well.
- [22:31]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And also guys that you thought may have checked out still be really involved. I mean Modiabate was screaming at his teammates recently and he's making some of the biggest rebo rebounds every game. And you can talk bad about Brandon Garrison. I mean he makes some stupid mistakes at times. He had a pass today that made one of the best passes I've seen all year.
- [22:49]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, and then like a possession or two later he misses his first shot and then banks it in off the glass.
- [22:53]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I mean, I mean he's going bank it. Like you know that's going to happen but like easy for those guys to go a different direction.

Billy Rutledge
Especially Modi when they sent him to the bench you thought he was just checked out for the rest of the year. But no. Three bucks a night and three huge.
- [23:06]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Box without your three best players too.
- [23:08]
Billy Rutledge
Incredible. Who we got up next? Billy?
- [23:09]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Nate is up next.
- [23:10]
Nick Roush
Nate Dog, what's up? Hey, you call me exactly the way people call me here in Mountain Sterling. How's everybody doing tonight?
- [23:17]
Billy Rutledge
Shout out Mount Sterling.
- [23:20]
Nick Roush
Let's go. So basically I just want to call in and talk about. They came out and they fought. Despised the Doug show Show obviously he always wants to put on a show. He wants to. I guess he wants the crowd to look at him. But also I'll touch on another couple points real quick. There was no me and team tonight. They shared the ball. Well if yellow bitch can score seven to nine points every outing along with the bench, especially Trent Noah, that surplus, we can beat anyone. Also I think the freshman especially Jasper Johnson coming up with those two quick bells, they're still learning college ball and that's a problem. I'll hang up and let you all talk.
- [23:56]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, thanks Nate. I think the. For me, Billy, the role players work. If you get two of them to play well, they don't have to do it every night, right? Like I forget what game it was where Jasper had like 11 points in the first half that really kept the boat afloat. These games kind of all run together but tonight he came in 2004 seconds. It was, it was not going to be his night. And you know what? It wasn't yellow Vic's night either, right? Yellow Vich, he does some things that are. Whoa. Oh okay, that's pretty nice. Like that three that. I don't know how the hell that thing went in. That was a prayer. But he gets lost in the interior defense. His, the interior defense of Kentucky is so late on rotating, knowing when to get. I mean the amount of lobs they got in the first half because yellow it's got caught with his hands in his pockets, it just couldn't happen, right? So Trent Noah comes in and he makes a scrappy place. Now when you go to the three two zone, okay, sometimes Trent Noah, the six foot ten guys are going to catch the ball over him and score, right? But you take the good with the bad. You get two of those role players to step up, play well and next game it might, it might be Jasper's game next time out, right? As long as you got two of them stepping up, ready to go, then you can, then you can make this thing successful.
- [25:19]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
There is a next man up mentality with this team and there's nothing that better encapsulates that by a quick quiz. Nick, who was the plus minus leader by Kentucky?
- [25:27]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, oh man. I'm going to, I'm going to guess.
- [25:32]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Noah Malachi Moreno was plus 16 in 27 minutes. Played terrible against Vandy. Nick.
- [25:39]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah.
- [25:40]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Unplayable against Vandy. And now he is the plus minus leader with 11 points and seven rebounds. I mean that is a mentality that can take you a long way if other guys are going to pick each other up.
- [25:51]
Billy Rutledge
Couple big blocks and the way they use them into the pick and roll too. Got a couple dunks that stopped Arkansas from building momentum. Right. Because that's the. When you got a big lead like that, just don't let the other team go on a 100 run. Yeah. Now sometimes Doug shows. Might show up and give you three texts and they go on a 70 run in the blink of an eye. But you didn't get them back. Which we didn't talk about that. The other technical they called on Arkansas.
- [26:15]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
The UN Tech where he threw the.
- [26:16]
Billy Rutledge
Ball and then stepped on his head. And now I. Do you think he meant to step on his head?
- [26:22]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I don't know. I think he meant the ball.
- [26:24]
Billy Rutledge
I don't know about the stepping. Yeah, yeah. But it was definitely a. Oh yeah.
- [26:28]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
You got a guy being called it had. He had to get a T. Had to.
- [26:33]
Billy Rutledge
Had to.
- [26:33]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And I mean, Mo got a tea for screaming at the crowd. Arkansas guys were doing the exact same thing later in the game and they weren't getting a tea. That is really a testament to a, A human ego impacting a game when they're not one of the teams playing.
- [26:49]
Billy Rutledge
I will say though, Billy, you know, this is not an easy job. I, I dabbled in officiating back in the day.
- [26:57]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Don't stand up for the refs on this.
- [26:59]
Billy Rutledge
Well, I'll tell you what. There's no more difficult game to officiate than third and fourth grade girls basketball on Dixie Highway. Okay, Let me tell you when, when you gotta tell them, all right? You can't just run all the way to the rim. Like you can walk, you can shuffle your feet a little. You can't run to the ring when you call them for a travel and their parents are ready to run out of the stands and tackle you. That's a tough gig. All right, so that Doug shows. I know you like to be the center of the attention, but I can relate to how hard it is sometimes to deal with you.
- [27:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
He better not be at the final four.
- [27:31]
Billy Rutledge
Who. Who do you think? Who do you think he hates more, Kentucky or Cal?
- [27:36]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
That was the question. I think we were supposed to learn tonight. And I think it's Kentucky.
- [27:41]
Billy Rutledge
The funny part of it all, my favorite thing that college basketball Refs do is when they call it one way for one half and then the second half they're like, no, no, no, we are calling it completely different. I mean, they were just.
- [27:51]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
The whistle tightens up a little bit and it just completely changes the game.
- [27:55]
Billy Rutledge
Well, and you know what? Credit to Kentucky for realizing, hey, they're going to call everything, but we're going to get to the free throw line, we're going to put our heads downhill. Like Frank for Shell said, we're going to get to the rim, we're going to draw some fouls. And that technical, that second one, it was a five point possession. Kentucky got a lot. I mean, it felt like they got whatever back that they gave up.
- [28:13]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah.
- [28:13]
Billy Rutledge
From that earlier seven.
- [28:15]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I mean, hell, Trent Noah is getting slung around at the end of the game too.
- [28:19]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, you could if, if it was tighter, Doug shows would have taught. Like, he would have teed him up so quick. But it was like, ah, there's 15 seconds left. We don't need to be here any longer. Let's just get out of here.
- [28:28]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Let's take another call, Nick.
- [28:29]
Billy Rutledge
Let's do it.
- [28:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Jay is up next.
- [28:31]
Billy Rutledge
What up, Jay?
- [28:33]
Nick Roush
Hey, thanks for taking my call. Nick and Billy just had to call in. What a great win for the Cats. I'm actually calling in on for, for my Aunt Doris. My aunt Doris was 94 years old. She lived in Bremen, Kentucky, in Muhlenberg County. She died earlier this week and we had our funeral earlier today. And I'm actually a pastor and she wanted me to speak at her service. And so at the end of my remarks, I said, I sure Hope she's pestering St. Peter to help the Cats find a way to beat those nasty Razorbacks. And so I think at least part of the credit needs to go to my Aunt Doris. And so I wanted to shout her out on this night of victory for the Cats and shout out to my Aunt Doris Jones in heaven and thanks for taking the call. And let's go, Cats.
- [29:23]
Billy Rutledge
Shout out to Aunt Doris, who's Muhlenberg County's fun is certainly celebrating in paradise tonight.
- [29:31]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Needle in St. Peter's up there.
- [29:33]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, man.
- [29:33]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Hoping for a little help. I love that.
- [29:35]
Billy Rutledge
And that's, you know, Kentucky basketball. That's why Seth Greenberg irritates me so much when he tries to lecture us on our fandom. You don't know how much it means to us. You have no clue. It bonds, it brings families together. We live and die with this stuff. And so if we're going to get a little irrational from time to time, so be it.
- [29:57]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Stephen Peak and his video.
- [29:58]
Billy Rutledge
I mean, this is.
- [30:00]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
This is.
- [30:01]
Billy Rutledge
This is our thing. And you know what? If you think we're bad, Seth, go ask the Eagles fans how they feel about their team. Right. Like, you think that Kentucky's the only fan base. I'm watching the Tennessee Volunteers right now. You think they're a bunch of angels?
- [30:17]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Golf balls.
- [30:18]
Billy Rutledge
God, Seth, lecture us, old man. Oh, man, we gotta do. We gotta get to a break.
- [30:24]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
We do, but let's take one more.
- [30:25]
Billy Rutledge
All right, One more call.
- [30:26]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Badger is up next.
- [30:27]
Nick Roush
Oh, hey, guys, real quick. Thanks for taking my call. Shout out. And, Doris, my old man used to say, on the road in the sec, you eat. You eat what they feed you. And our boys are eating on Hog tonight. And I grew up in the Patino Tubby Smith era, and this. This was a throwback win. Marquis Estelle, Keith Bogans, Tayshawn Prince, Nazi Muhammad, Jeff Shepherd, Cameron Mills, all my heroes. They're eating on Hog High tonight. And I appreciate it, boys. And. Hey, Go Cats.
- [31:10]
Billy Rutledge
Go Cats. Billy, you ever been to a road win? I know you're. You're usually cooped up in here.
- [31:15]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
No, I've only been to, like, two games, period, because I can't get out of here.
- [31:19]
Billy Rutledge
Well, one day we're going to get you out of here. We're going to get you to a road game. I will contend. I like that a lot, too. Eat what they feed you. I will contend that there is no more intoxicating drug in the world than winning on the road. Because it's such a. There's a small band of brothers there. And then when you just get to see those fans leave. So sad. It is. Oh, it's so satisfying. I. I've been to Bud Walton. Don't do as many basketball games because we've got an army at ksl. Yeah, yeah. I go to all the football games, but back in 20, 20, 1 of the road games I did was at Arkansas. Brought my dad. How about tickets? We'll sit together in the upper deck after the game. I'll work and we'll figure it out. And that was the game that Cal got ejected. Okay. And it is, without a doubt, the loudest I've ever. It's the loudest experience of my life. Maybe except for, like, a show at Cosmic Charlie's when I was in college where you're right next to the speakers and it's just hammering you in the eardrums. But we were. I mean, we were sitting next to each other having to cover our ears. It was so loud. If you go back and watch the replay, menial quickly covers his ears. It was that loud. And then Kentucky went on a 17, 2 run in that place. You could, you couldn't hear anything. And then you could hear me and my old man screaming from the upper deck. I mean it was, it was so satisfying to watch them leave such a big game. They thought they finally got Cal, but they didn't.
- [32:49]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And you see another Kentucky fan, maybe you give them a high five better than a high five with a random stranger.
- [32:55]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, and your hand almost hurts afterwards because you smack it so hard. And then to see them just to wave bye bye to him as they're leaving the stands.
- [33:03]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
They've been probably trash talking the entire.
- [33:04]
Billy Rutledge
Game to see, to see them pack up, grab their coats and leave early tonight. Oh, it's beautiful. Well done, cats. Shout out to all you if anybody made the trip to northwest Arkansas. We'd love to hear from you. 859280, 2287. Want to hear how you got to celebrate the big win by the Wildcats at Budwald and Arena8577? We're going to take a break and get to your calls right after that. Welcome back into the local Toyota dealers KSR post game show. Nick Roush filling in for Matthew Harper Jones standing alongside, sitting alongside Billy Rutledge here in beautiful downtown Lexington where it might be the coldest it's ever been in the Commonwealth.
- [33:51]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It's, it's freezing, it's freezing out there.
- [33:53]
Billy Rutledge
I'm one of those guys to, you know, a big football guy, you know, but like I'm a big dude, like six, six. You know, there's a furry guy. Like I love when it's like 40, 30 degrees. Like, oh, perfect. Just throwing a light jacket, we're good to go. No, this is have your parka or else you will free if. How do the people live in Chicago? Well, they're tough, Minnesota.
- [34:17]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
They're just tougher than us and maybe, maybe more used to it than we are.
- [34:20]
Billy Rutledge
This is, it's, it's been so cold for so long and I'm glad that it's. It was hot inside Bud Walton Arena, 54% from the field. One thing that I didn't want to overlook when talking about the game tonight, Denzel Aberdeen. I don't care what the rest of his stat line was. Zero turnovers. Zero. Now, I guess they didn't give him credit for that 10 second goal that happened. Oh, I don't.
- [34:45]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
They didn't they didn't give him the.
- [34:47]
Billy Rutledge
Turnover, I guess, but it says zero. It says zero next to his name. He had 10 points, hit a couple of threes. We needed that second. Three, two, Billy.
- [34:57]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, while you're highlighting Denzel Aberdeen, why don't we give away a Johnny Rocker, personal injury attorney, moneymaker of the game. Nick, injured. Get small town compassion with big city results when you call The Rocker at 270-321-4429. And I think it's an obvious choice tonight, Nick. It's going to be the guy that led you in points. We don't always do that for the Johnny Rocker.
- [35:19]
Billy Rutledge
But here's the thing, though. Otega OA didn't just lead you in points. And I thought this was a great point that Goose made afterwards. He was tasked with guarding Darius Acuff most of the night.
- [35:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yes.
- [35:31]
Billy Rutledge
And you know, if a couple of those free throws were up short because he was playing good defense on Acuff, so be it. It took 20 shots for Acuff to get, what, 22 points?
- [35:40]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yes.
- [35:40]
Billy Rutledge
He was great. And you need. You needed that. You needed. Is it the rockaway player that was Johnny Rocker.
- [35:48]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Moneymaker.
- [35:49]
Billy Rutledge
The moneymaker of the game. Well, you need your best player to be your moneymaker. You need him to be the obelisk that everybody looks to.
- [35:55]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I mean, how money is 24 points on 12 shots. I mean, he didn't make three, but guys was efficient. He had eight rebounds.
- [36:03]
Billy Rutledge
Eight.
- [36:03]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, leading the team.
- [36:04]
Billy Rutledge
What a warrior.
- [36:05]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Minutes one turnover. Otega showed the fight tonight, and that's why he's our moneymaker of the game.
- [36:11]
Billy Rutledge
Till the battle is won.
- [36:13]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
That's right. And I apologize. I haven't played any Tom T. Hall yet. We'll.
- [36:18]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, we've been busy. I'll.
- [36:20]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I'll play it.
- [36:20]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah.
- [36:21]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I promise.
- [36:21]
Billy Rutledge
I want to call the Hogs too.
- [36:23]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Oh, you want to do the. The woo pig Suey?
- [36:26]
Billy Rutledge
You know, we can. We can adapt.
- [36:28]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I mean, we can make our own Rocky Top. Drew was singing Rocky Top on this post game show.
- [36:33]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, man. How funny is it, Cal, watching Cal stand over there and have to call the Hogs. Oh, you know, Cal is a fun run, but have fun down there with Chin, right?
- [36:43]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah.
- [36:43]
Billy Rutledge
Chomping away on that gum, man. How. How swaggy was Brad tonight?
- [36:47]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Oh, yeah. I mean, he's. He was going to bring it for the Kentucky game. You know that.
- [36:51]
Billy Rutledge
Who do you think he lines up his own beard or does he have a barber do it?
- [36:55]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Oh, barber.
- [36:57]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. There's no way he can Line that up himself, right? Yeah.
- [37:00]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
No, no, no, no, no.
- [37:02]
Billy Rutledge
Not Brad.
- [37:06]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Back to the phones.
- [37:06]
Billy Rutledge
Let's go back to the phones.
- [37:07]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
All right, we got loaded lines. Let's keep them rolling. Fuzzy is up next.
- [37:12]
Nick Roush
Hey, guys. Appreciate you taking the call tonight. It was an awesome night. It was frustrating as one of the more frustrating games I've ever tried to watch, with all of the technicals and the back and forth, just trying to take the air out of the game. But I couldn't be more excited, more happy after losing the Cal last year at home, finally getting to take him down, especially at Arkansas. I mean, we beat Tennessee. At Tennessee. That's my dad's favorite game of the year, is every time we get beat Tennessee, especially on the road. But we also beat Louisville in our home gym last year. Like, I've been big on Pope ever since he came in. I think he's done a lot to turn this program around. Yeah, he's still got a long way to go. Yeah, this team's still got a long way to go, but I think we're doing an awesome job. So I'm happy. Everybody's happy. Ryan Lemon's definitely happy. That dude's my spirit animal when he yanks his shirt off at the bar. And then last thing is, you know, shout out Aunt Doris. I'll give you a high five when I see you in heaven. You know, go, Cats.
- [38:04]
Billy Rutledge
Go Cats.
- [38:05]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Amen to that.
- [38:06]
Billy Rutledge
Ryan Lemon was certainly. He was having a good time tonight.
- [38:10]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
He predicted a blowout loss on the pregame show. We all did. Besides Nick Roush, by the way. But I mean, when Ryan takes his shirt off at KS Bar and Grill, is there a happen. More happening celebration spot in Lexington?
- [38:23]
Billy Rutledge
I just. When you. Is that a good thing that we want people to know? Like, hey, come to KS Bar. You might get to see Ryan take his shirt off.
- [38:32]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, if you asked Matt. No, I think he would. He said, we going to do a New Year's Eve resolution where we're not going to talk about nudity on the air or take your shirt off. And then, I mean, after you beat Arkansas, Nick. I mean, you got to do that.
- [38:45]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Maybe eat some Tyson chicken nuggets.
- [38:47]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Diet starts tomorrow.
- [38:48]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Oh, definitely tomorrow. Well, no, after next Sunday, because Super bowl, you get the apps out. You know, there's still time to get to the New Year's resolution. We'll get to those.
- [38:57]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I saw Matt retweet his video of thanking the Arkansas. The chicken man. He's been getting a lot of crap for that. These Last.
- [39:03]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, man. Well, the chicken man. I hope you enjoyed that loss tonight, buddy. Hope it tastes good eating that. L. Who we got next.
- [39:13]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Up next.
- [39:15]
Nick Roush
Good evening, gentlemen. So Billy was there, of course, last time I called for the. Billy. Our sports post game show after the Missouri Lake Missouri loss, I called in and said that our program is broken, that we're not making the tournament. And I want to take this opportunity to apologize to Mark Pope, the staff and the players for that. As a lifelong Kentuckian, I know that we are never out of the fight. We always find a way to defy the odds. And while this team is not perfect and we may be down right now, we are most certainly not out. Great unexpected effort tonight by Trent Noah. It's an effort that we're going to need going forward this season. I love the grit we saw from this team tonight in battling adversity and battling the refs, of course, to accomplish what they did. Don't want to get my hopes up too high just yet, but in the words of our former coach, I like my team. Let's take care of the next two at home. Let's break some hearts. And Gainesville on Valentine's Day. Go Cass. And to Arkansas. Max, eat it.
- [40:10]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, eat it, Max. Thanks so much for calling in. Pat you, I think it's worth noting that as I mean, Kentucky's won six out of seven. They will be tied for second in the SEC correct standings right now, seven, six and three. And does A and M play tomorrow. Who's no tomorrow's Florida and Bama, I believe.
- [40:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
I got to see.
- [40:31]
Billy Rutledge
I was thrown off whenever I was seeing a Sunday SEC game. That's weird. But as far as noting Kentucky has the most difficult schedule in the country going down the pipe. But to your point, you got Oklahoma coming into town, Nigel Pack, Porter Moser, that's a winnable game. And then the Vols, at least you have already beat them. You at least got to split them. I think the other part that we have to remember too, whenever everything is bad and you're kicking rocks down the street, oh, this isn't a tournament team. They stink. You know what, there's a lot of at large bits. I believe 37 if I'm not mistaken. They got to go to somebody. And Kentucky is stacking up quad one wins, this one, Tennessee, that St. John's win like that, they're stacking them up. This resume is not going to be the prettiest. But you know what, the SEC is pretty wide open right now. Take care of business at home. Steal a couple here and there on the road. I mean, South Carolina looks downright bad. You got to win that one. Auburn is. I mean, Stephen Pearl's their coach, so anybody's got a chance. It reminds me, you know, don't like a lot of things Bobby Knight said, but there was one quote he had after a game where Indiana, they had been trailing to lsu. He said, were you ever worried? He's like, you know, just looked over the other bench and I saw Dale Brown coaching. I knew we had a chance. That's how I feel when you look over there and you see Stephen Pearl. Right. Like, there's always a chance when Stephen Pearl's on the other sideline. So the SEC's wide open and Kentucky second right now at the end of January. Who.
- [42:12]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Without their three best players.
- [42:13]
Billy Rutledge
Who. Who. Who would have thought this a month ago?
- [42:17]
Nick Roush
Nobody.
- [42:18]
Billy Rutledge
Exactly. So, like, is. It's imperfect and it's not. It doesn't look like the Monstars by any means, but you know what? They're getting the job done.
- [42:27]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Todd is up next.
- [42:28]
Billy Rutledge
What's up, Todd?
- [42:30]
Nick Roush
Hey. Tonight before the game, I kind of prepared myself for a loss after hearing everybody give their predictions and everything. And then after seeing what we did against Vanderbilt, and I was very pleasantly surprised and just tickled to death. We still need to work on our help defense, no doubt. You know, we. We did well tonight. And I don't think I have ever seen a game where there were six technical fouls called. Have you, Todd?
- [43:11]
Billy Rutledge
That. It's one of those where I don't want to be prisoner of the moment, but I think I can safely say that I don't think I've ever seen a game with six technical outside of.
- [43:20]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
A brawl or something like that.
- [43:22]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, like that. That. That was unbelievable, Todd.
- [43:25]
Nick Roush
Right. And I don't know why they didn't throw Brazil out when he found no way out there. Now, that was malicious. That was absolutely a sore loser. Acting like it.
- [43:43]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, no, it certainly was. And I. I think that's one of those, Ty. Where they're just like, you know what? There's 10 seconds left. Just get them off the court. What's in this game? Go cry in your locker room, hogs.
- [43:54]
Nick Roush
I got one more question. See if you. If any of you all know it. You're a belly. I've been noticing here lately where players get the ball and they're falling out of bounds. They call timeout. Now, used to we could. You know, it could be done. And they changed that rule to where you couldn't do it anymore. And it's evidently they must have brought it back. Do you know if they have brought that back or. And when they brought it back?
- [44:30]
Billy Rutledge
I think, Todd, you just have to have a foot on the ground. You can't be jumping out of bounds midair and call the timeout. So like that, that one play where they threw it down to o way in the corner, if his foot doesn't touch out, he could have called a time and he could have burned one there. But instead he got his. Got his toe on the line. That was a turnover. That, that made fans a little timeout, right? Correct.
- [44:51]
Nick Roush
Correct. So, but I wasn't really talking about our game tonight on that. I've just watched other college games and guys be. Appear to be in the air flying out of bounds. They call timeout, referee gives them the timeout. And I thought, well, I, I didn't think that was. I thought they stopped that, you know, and, and then I saw it again, I thought, well, maybe they brought it back. I just like to know when they brought it back.
- [45:18]
Billy Rutledge
Well, I don't know if they've actually brought it back or not, Todd, but I do appreciate you calling in tonight, hanging out with us on the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. I did. I do like that they brought out the coaches challenge rule and another one. Give credit where credit's due. Pope, sometimes you're like, are you sure you want to do this? But he is, he is a good challenger.
- [45:38]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah. It was two for two the other night, right?
- [45:40]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah.
- [45:40]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And now he's. He got that one.
- [45:42]
Billy Rutledge
And you're just, you worry seven minutes in the first half. Are you really going to do it now? But the guys knew, the players knew and it was clearly out on acuff. That was a quick, quick reversal.
- [45:51]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah, no doubt. Let's keep it rolling before we got to take a break.
- [45:54]
Billy Rutledge
Let's go. Let's get rolling. Rolling like one biscuit.
- [45:56]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Zella is up next.
- [45:59]
Nick Roush
Hi.
- [46:00]
Billy Rutledge
Hey, Zella.
- [46:06]
Nick Roush
First time, long time. After going one and one this week. Where do you think we sit on, like cheating?
- [46:19]
Billy Rutledge
What do you think? So, Zella, I don't know where the bracketology might have us exactly. I feel like this is a team that's probably around a 7, 6, 7 and could get as high as a 5. But I mean, you got to be near the top of the SEC at the end of the year. You got to be playing for one of those top four by. So I predict that Kentucky is going to be in that seven, 10 games. So with with a two seed waiting form in the round of 32.
- [46:52]
Nick Roush
Here's my sister, Aza. She wants to say something. Okay, how about that Diovate Technical.
- [47:00]
Billy Rutledge
That was ridiculous.
- [47:01]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Terrible.
- [47:02]
Billy Rutledge
So bad. But you know what? Y' all were so good. I appreciate y' all calling in and hanging out with us tonight. Go Cats. CO Cats.
- [47:10]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Look at that. Yeah, that was a good call.
- [47:12]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Although, like, I mean, it's 11. It's past their bedtime probably, right?
- [47:17]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
You gotta let the kids stay up after big wins.
- [47:18]
Billy Rutledge
That's true.
- [47:19]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Core memories.
- [47:20]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. And you also are so excited. You gotta run the energy out, too. Just kind of run it out. Just don't run outside. It's too cold to be running around outside.
- [47:28]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Just go run around. So you can.
- [47:30]
Billy Rutledge
We. We had. We called it Roush arena in the basement, where we had a full court of Fisher Price goals. And when I say full court, I mean, it's the size of this small room. Right. You know, 10ft to the next. But, hey, you could. You could. You could run. You could run full court. Get after it.
- [47:47]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Get them started early.
- [47:48]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, yeah. Have to. Have to.
- [47:50]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Let's take a break.
- [47:51]
Billy Rutledge
Let's do it.
- [47:51]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
And then we got six calls on the other side. And that'll be it.
- [47:55]
Billy Rutledge
That's it. Wait, this is flying by.
- [47:57]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
We've already got so much fun.
- [47:59]
Billy Rutledge
And you know what? I will say I'm a little disappointed. I thought we would have a few more people who have been, you know, getting after it.
- [48:06]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
They may be just getting started. Like, you know, it may just be time to celebrate now, like Mark Stoops.
- [48:11]
Billy Rutledge
Just getting started, bro.
- [48:12]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Hello. Nick Roush.
- [48:16]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, we'll get to your calls in the final segment. 859-280-22871 Final segment here on the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show with Nick and Billy right after this.
- [48:28]
Nick Roush
Here I am in this dang bed, and who's gonna feed them hoes?
- [48:33]
Billy Rutledge
Mark Pope. He's feeding them hogs with a big old hell because the Cats went to Bud Walton Arena. Sold out. Crowd ready to dance on the Wildcats graves. But not so fast, my friends. Kentucky escapes with an 8577 win. We've got one final segment here on the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. I'm Nick Roush. He's Billy Rutledge. Man, this has been fun. Time flies when you're having fun, Billy.
- [49:00]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It does. And it's great to have you in studio. You know, you drove up for this.
- [49:04]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah.
- [49:04]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
So I appreciate that. And Kentucky wins a game where they only hit six three pointers, Nick.
- [49:10]
Billy Rutledge
Which when they went on that five game winning streak, a big part of that was because of their three point shooting. Cats got hot, right? When you're making a bunch of threes, it's easy. They had a grit and grind this one out. Classic college basketball game where 45 fouls are called in a 40 minute game. The Doug show show everybody. And you know what? I have been informed Todd was right. They brought back the you can jump up in the air and call a timeout rule.
- [49:39]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Okay, well, you don't even need to have a foot down. Is that what you're telling me?
- [49:42]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, they brought that back a couple years ago.
- [49:44]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Once you have the ball, yes, as.
- [49:47]
Billy Rutledge
Long as you have possession, you can give it a go. I didn't realize that either. So everybody's learning something. We're getting learned here on the local Toyota dealers KSR post game show. We've got some people who've been waiting a while, so let's not make them wait much longer there. Mr. Rellage, who we got?
- [50:02]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
We got six on the line, so let's get to all of them before we leave. Brian.
- [50:05]
Billy Rutledge
Six or seven?
- [50:06]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Six. Oh, well, we'll see, we'll see.
- [50:09]
Billy Rutledge
Six, seven.
- [50:10]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Brian is up next.
- [50:12]
Billy Rutledge
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, people. I have children.
- [50:16]
Nick Roush
Hey, gentlemen, how you doing?
- [50:17]
Billy Rutledge
We're jubilant, joyous, slap happy, almost awesome.
- [50:23]
Nick Roush
Well, I'm glad because let me tell you something. I have been a KSR listener for a very long time and I've also been a listener of the KSR post game, pre game, you name it, podcast, blah, blah, blah. This is the very first time I have ever called in to a UK post game show because I know how hard it is to get in, especially if Matt's there. So this is my inaugural effort. So welcome.
- [50:54]
Billy Rutledge
You did it. You made it.
- [50:56]
Nick Roush
I finally made it in and it's, it's, it's awesome. Let me, let me tell you something, guys. I have a unique perspective. I moved to Little rock, Arkansas in 2001 for a job. Was down there till end of 2014. The first eight games that Kentucky played Arkansas, after I moved Arkansas, we won. So I was flying my flag loud and proud. So I have a unique perspective on what Arkansas is, what, what they think of basketball, you know, so on and so on.
- [51:33]
Billy Rutledge
You know how much they hate Kentucky. Like they, they probably hate Kentucky more than any other school, right? Because they don't, they don't really have a raffle like a true rival. It Feels like particularly in basketball, they, they get their knives out for Kentucky. There's no win they want more than to beat Kentucky every year. And it doesn't happen often.
- [51:53]
Nick Roush
You are correct. And I'll tell you this. Long before I moved there, obviously the epic Kentucky, Arkansas, SEC championship game. Roderick Rose misses the free throws, goes to overtime. We're down now with like 10 minutes or 10 seconds left. Come. Come back and win it. I mean it was a huge rivalry in 90s, obviously with Patino and, and, and it, it, you know, and I was there when, when Norm Richardson unfortunately lost that game in 01. And that's when he kind of, you know, I don't want to get into.
- [52:28]
Billy Rutledge
We don't need that.
- [52:30]
Nick Roush
Yeah, he, he lost, he lost his, his wig there and it went south and blah blah. And the, you know, Arkansas fans didn't care much for basketball after that. Sure, they were huge in the 90s. They obviously won a title and, and won the next year. They came back and lost in the championship game. But anyway, it, it's, it's interesting. I have such a unique perspective, but what I want to kind of get at for this game at least is that, you know, we, we suffered that loss last year at home to, to Cal and, and it was funny. I was, I listened to a lot of radio shows during the, during the week and, and everybody was like, you know, Cal always kind of lets his guard down in one big game where he's huge. You know, he's a huge favorite and yada, yada, yada. And I, I'll be honest, I didn't think we had a shot, but after the first few minutes we were 14 to 5. I think I was like, man, this just feels like one of those games. And it played itself out. Referee started, referees tried to alter it. Man, I, you know, like I have, I, I know two shells. I know a good shells and a bad shel shout showed up at the worst time and I thought he was going to cost us. Man, our, our guys came back. Man, I don't know where this team's gonna go. It's flawed. We have a lot of injuries and all that kind of everything everybody's talked about, but it was, it was very satisfying.
- [53:58]
Billy Rutledge
Oh yeah.
- [53:58]
Nick Roush
Watch that tonight. I'm only, I'm only two days removed from my birthday, so I'm taking this as a birthday. Very happy, Very happy about it. Very happy about it. Nick, you're the man. I know. I think last year you only wanted to pick the game the other way, but you Picked it the other way. The other way this. This year, too. So good on you, brother. Keep doing what you do.
- [54:19]
Billy Rutledge
I appreciate it, man. And I'm glad you got to drink up that birthday win, even though it is a little bladed. Yeah, birthdays, you get a little bit older, Billy, they don't. They don't matter as much.
- [54:29]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah. Do they mean anything after 26? Because then I had to get my own health care.
- [54:34]
Billy Rutledge
You know, you hit 30, like 30 is like, okay, we'll do something fun for it. And so, you know, you. Maybe you make an excuse to go out a little bit more. But no, they don't matter as much. What does matter is when you go out, you get a big win on the road. And the Cats, they got one tonight, man. Tastes so sweet.
- [54:52]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
It sure does.
- [54:52]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, yeah, I do wish. So it's not this week, but it's the next week where there's not a midweek game, kind of. It would have been nice if you just got to sit in this one a little bit, roll around in it, bathe in it a little more. But Oklahoma, they're coming to Rupp Arena, 9pm Late tip off on Wednesday night at Rup.
- [55:10]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Evan is up next.
- [55:14]
Nick Roush
Nick Roush.
- [55:15]
Billy Rutledge
Evan, my man.
- [55:19]
Nick Roush
I was telling my wife before the game how excited I was about you doing the post game tonight, because I said if the cat somehow pull off an upset, I'm calling in because Nick Roush is the absolute man. I appreciate it about that. Yeah. So all this chatter about Pope, I mean, obviously there are some deficiencies there. We all know about them. We're concerned about recruiting next year.
- [55:43]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, yeah, Gotta be.
- [55:45]
Nick Roush
All my. All my family members and friends that are huge UK fans, for some reason, they will not give enough merit to the fact that Pope is coaching a team without three starters right now.
- [55:59]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, three.
- [56:00]
Nick Roush
And we listen to Goose Givens on the Leafs report or post game talking about practice and timing and everything. How important is to have your team spending time together and gelling. The fact that we go out there and win a road game against the top 15 team with the hall of Fame coach and get that win without three starters is absolutely massive for a program. And I'm so happy for Mark Pope and the entire team. Just think about this. Take the Chicago Bulls, when they won the six titles, take three starters off that team. Do they win any titles?
- [56:38]
Billy Rutledge
No, I mean, they. They figure it out. If it's, you know, Horace Grant and Steve Kerr and who's another one of those random three, but Bill Cartwright. There you go. Maybe they could figure it out because, you know, take it is our Jordan. But. But it's. It's hard to do it. And I think the other part that makes it hard too, Evan, that we overlook. It's not just that Pope got a different kind of player this year. He got. It's a very young team, a very inexperienced team. I mean, the minutes that Trent and Malachi Moreno like, these guys, they don't. They didn't have a bunch of minutes under their belt going into this year. They've.
- [57:16]
Nick Roush
Mo Di Bonte. Mo was smarter from tonight because he didn't take any goofy outside shots. Yeah. Played his ass off, got huge rebounds, played great defense. And then Ortega's defense on Acuff was spectacular tonight. But let me finish the call by saying one thing. I've got a crazy cousin in Russell County, Kentucky, Jonathan Grider, AKA J Rock, my two man partner for the infamous Rolling Hills two man championship that we won this past year. He sent a text to my family stream this morning. He called this win this morning. So kudos to J Rock Grider. Congratulations. He won a bunch of money. Yeah. Go Cat.
- [58:02]
Billy Rutledge
Congrats. It feels good to line your pockets with DraftKings. Money always feels good.
- [58:08]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Who else predicted the Cats win today?
- [58:12]
Billy Rutledge
I know a guy who was dancing, jumping up and down, lining his pockets with some draftkings cash.
- [58:19]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
The problem, the hard part is Otega OA is your Jordan. I mean, normally he should be your second or third guy, right? Not the guy.
- [58:28]
Billy Rutledge
But I mean, he was the guy down the stretch last year. He was awesome. And they didn't know Oklahoma games. Now, the part where you can be like that, yes, Pope's down three starters, but let's be honest, it was a gamble that he was ever going to have one of those guys with Jane Quaint, which I know you all heard the comments earlier this week that he's kind of in shutdown mode. Like, it's. If he's back, great. If not, so be it. But Pope did only get one ball handler and that guy got hurt in Jalen Law.
- [58:56]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Yeah.
- [58:57]
Billy Rutledge
And so I think if you're like, well, maybe in a pinch, Aberdeen can get us a game or two. Well, he's having to do a lot more of that this year. And you know what? To his credit, that guy, there was a time, Billy, where he was like, what are these shots?
- [59:08]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
He's taken leaps and bounds.
- [59:10]
Billy Rutledge
But he, yes, he is. He has reigned it back in. They're figuring out. They're figuring out their roles. They've got A good feel for. For how to play with one another right now. And that's what's going to make the end of this year fun. And I know this is a c. This is. This is a sport that's defined by postseason success, but we got to enjoy the ride. It's going to be a wild one. There's some more ups and downs. There's going to be. There might be another 25 point loss, but you know what? There's probably going to be another crazy win like this.
- [59:37]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
So it's been a crazy year.
- [59:38]
Billy Rutledge
Yep. Who else we got? Billy.
- [59:40]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Crystal.
- [59:40]
Billy Rutledge
Crystal.
- [59:42]
Nick Roush
Hey.
- [59:44]
Billy Rutledge
How are we doing? Hello.
- [59:46]
Nick Roush
I'm doing well. How y' all doing?
- [59:47]
Billy Rutledge
Just fired up. Crystal, so happy you're talking to us, too.
- [59:51]
Nick Roush
I'm so honored you take our call. Thank you. So I married into big blue nation. I'm West Virginia girl and my husband's a Kentucky fan. And I just. We listen to y' all every day, two hours a day. And we love you and we respect you and we're thankful you take our call. But I predicted we would win this game. And he's like, there's no way. No way. And he, as practical as he is, went through all my rituals. We hung our flag, we got our cross. We did all the things and we won. And I'm just so stoked and I'm so excited and just so happy, so.
- [60:27]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, well, we're so happy that you got it figured out. You married right. You married in the right family, you know, and it can be. It can be tough, too. Sometimes you get like a split household. I, you know, house divided. I married a U of L cardinal bird, so I got to deal with the house divided stuff. Sometimes, Crystal, it can be tough.
- [60:48]
Nick Roush
Oh, my goodness. We're just so happy. And I want to say pants off. Dance off to Ryan. We are on his side.
- [60:57]
Billy Rutledge
I wouldn't Ryan to keep his pants on. Thank you, Crystal. I don't. Damn it, Crystal. Now I'm thinking about Ryan with his pants off. We don't need that. That image in people's minds.
- [61:09]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Like, I saw all these videos from Mario of Ryan celebrating taking his shirt off, standing on the bar like always. And then, like, Mario uploaded another video. Forty minutes later, he still got his shirt off. He's still running around partying. There's a conga line of people with their shirts off.
- [61:25]
Billy Rutledge
Tarps off for the night. Could be a late one. We got three more. Let's do it.
- [61:30]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Paul is up next.
- [61:31]
Billy Rutledge
Paul, y'.
- [61:31]
Nick Roush
All.
- [61:32]
Billy Rutledge
What's up, man?
- [61:34]
Nick Roush
How we Doing tonight, fellas, fired up. I got just a couple things ended on. Doug Shous is the most worthless piece of human flesh on the planet. The guy shouldn't be calling Special Olympics dodgeball matches. And going back to one thing you mentioned earlier in the show about the Arkansas bench, Is it just me or does Brad Carey or Brad Caliperi look like a total Louisville man?
- [62:02]
Billy Rutledge
He does.
- [62:02]
Nick Roush
And have a good night.
- [62:04]
Billy Rutledge
He does have a little bit of that Louisville man. Je ne sais quoi, the Louisville man. I mean, would anybody be shocked if there was a little mini bottle of Crown Royal in that inside pocket?
- [62:16]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Well, you're living in Fayetteville.
- [62:17]
Billy Rutledge
No. Maybe a little garbage can juice for son.
- [62:22]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Garbage. Oh, that was.
- [62:23]
Billy Rutledge
Remember that one? That was a good one. Yeah. Oh, Brad, what a gem. Earned not given.
- [62:32]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Two more. Two more. Nick, let's do it. Finish strong here.
- [62:35]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, so strong.
- [62:36]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Hunter is up next.
- [62:40]
Nick Roush
Billy, it's great to talk to you guys. I think we need to have a petition for Nick to take over. Fade this with both predictions and back to back years.
- [62:49]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Oh.
- [62:53]
Nick Roush
Hey, I mean, he's good with it. He. Like I say, let him go. Let him cook. Potential. That's the biggest thing that we've heard this entire year is like, this team has potential. We've seen them beat like the bad teams by 30, 40, which most great teams do. But when it came time to show it in the actual good games, they haven't shown that potential that we know that they have until the last two weeks. Until the Tennessee. Until today when we went out and we showed who's boss. I'm loving the Arkansas tears. Doug Shao can eat it. I hope he stubs his toe. I hope that both sides of his pillows are warm today. Tonight, when he goes to bed. And I'll leave, I'll leave with this. A quote from our previous from a former player who tweeted this. When Arkansas won last year, good old Ty Ty Washington walked into they trap, took over their trap. Have a good night, guys.
- [63:52]
Billy Rutledge
Taking that dub back to the Lex. Shout out. Tyrese Maxey, he did that back in 2022. Took that dub back to the Lex.
- [64:00]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Tom had a good line tonight. He was talking about shells and he said Charles spoke on the PA more than the PA announcer.
- [64:10]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, man, Doug Schaus, great whipping boy. Always easy to gang up on him. Because that guy, he loves to be in the middle, middle of it all. We really lost something. We lost tv Teddy. But Doug Schaus, he's picking up the slack boy.
- [64:23]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
But I was going through it though, during those 38 seconds, we all were very different post game show.
- [64:28]
Billy Rutledge
You know what? Exactly. Now we just get to laugh at him for being bad, not mad at him for causing us a game. Because this team showed toughness. This team showed fight. And they showed it against a team that was more talented than Arkansas is. A very talented team. And the Cats controlled. Led the entire way. Hell of a win. Hell of a win. We got one final call. Who's going to wrap us up? Let's make it a good one.
- [64:52]
Co-host (possibly Matthew Harper Jones or another KSR personality)
Bones.
- [64:53]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, Bones. What do you got for us?
- [64:57]
Nick Roush
All right, what's up, guys? First of all, I got a couple of real quick things I want to back up Matt. And if they want to post it on Twitt Twitter, go ahead. Thank you, Tyson Chicken, for taking cow. This is the same thing that he's done for the last four or five years here at UK. He's gonna get you in the top 15, 25. I predict the first round exit for Arkansas and then number two, me and my daughter got one last thing to end the show with this. You ready?
- [65:27]

Go Cats. Thanks, Bones, for calling in. This was a lot of fun, man. Feels good to go walk in their trap, take over their trap, beat them at their own game, put it on him, was 8 on 5, and they still found a way to find a way. Colin Chandler, ice in his veins. Trent Noah, just a little old mountain boy. Mahal or as a har one, it don't matter. He's tough. He's tougher than steel toe boots. He don't take no crap from nobody. He was in there. He was gritting, he was grinding. Malachi Moreno, another one of Kentucky's finest, dunking it on their faces. Denzel Aberdeen took care of the ball, and Ortega away was a bully and a badass who looked like the SEC preseason player of the year. Who got it done? Who got the Cats a W? And Brad. Whoo. Feels good to celebrate tonight. It's been a pleasure. So much fun hanging out with y' all on the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. Go Cats.
