This is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. Listen, I'm gonna get serious for a minute. The hate in our country is getting out of control. In fact, it's sadly at an all time high. But it's gonna take all of us to stop it. I mean, we're all on the same team in this country. So let's take a break from our hate so our team can regroup. We need to take a time out against hate. Visit standuptoallhate.org to help and join me in calling for timeout against hate by following at what's up with Hate or posting the blue square emoji.

Restrictions apply. See Amazon.com amazonprime for details. Welcome everyone. It is the local Toyota dealers. KSR post game show the Cats get a massive win in the rivalry. The 14th time in the last 17 games that Kentucky has beaten Louisville, taking them down at home tonight in a fun game kind of. Louisville's back competitive again, but Kentucky wins 93. 85. 859-280-2287. I'm at the KS Bar and Grill and we'll be here till the end of the show. Billy. I was in such a celebratory mood. I told everybody that beer was $1.50 tonight and we were $1.50 until 10:00. Yeah.
- [03:10]
Doug Gottlieb
Oh, okay. That's the stipulation.
- [03:11]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. I mean it's not, it's, well, it's until the end of this post game show. But we got a good crowd here and they seem to be, just by looking around, enjoying my, my generosity. And we'll, we'll see, we'll see what that ends up with at the end. But with Kentucky, great game. A game that the cats led by four to 10 points. Nearly the entire game. They got up, I counted about six times. They got up 10 points with a chance to kind of run it away and then Louisville would always come down, usually hit a three, get it back to seven and it kind of fluctuated. Kentucky never lost the lead, but they also weren't able to pull away. However, they still got the victory and really an awesome day for Kentucky basketball. Lamont Butler is the story. After having not played the last two games with an injury, he comes out and is just excellent. 33 points, 10 for 10 shooting the third most baskets made without a miss in Kentucky history. Only Rodney Dent and Melvin Turpin had more, more baskets without missing a shot. 10 for 10. Pretty amazing. All the guys in the top seven are all bigs and he's a point guard and went 10 for 10, 6 for 6 from 3 and a lot of huge shots when he did it. I thought his threes to start the second half were kind of crucial to the victory. Just a great performance. He controlled the game when he was in. Kentucky was the far better team when he was out. We struggled. I think you, if we didn't know before he was the most important player on the team, we certainly know now he was named MVP of the game. I thought it was an excellent, excellent performance. So just some thoughts in general about the, about the, about the game you had. Obviously, Lamont Butler played well. I thought Jackson Robinson played well without scoring. He had eight rebounds. I thought he played really good defense when he was his. His man didn't really do a whole lot. Obviously Hepburn and Edwards were their big scorers, but I thought he played really well without. Without scoring a ton. You know, Ortega away for about 35 minutes. You could have forgotten he was playing.
- [05:31]
Justin Jefferson
He.
- [05:31]
Billy Rutledge
He didn't. He actually was out of the game quite a bit more than usual. And then in the last four minutes, he probably makes the three biggest plays of the game. His steal and a dunk was at a crucial time. His and one towards the end, his three pointer. We always had eight points in the last four minutes and Kentucky probably doesn't win without him. So 36 minutes, maybe a little slow, but right at the end shows why he's so good. I thought Kobe Brayer really struggled most of the game, especially on defense. But in my opinion, the biggest shot of the night might have been his 3. He hit with a guy on him. Louisville was on a run, had cut it to three. He hit a contested three. And while while defensively he was a real weakness, I thought that was a big play in the second half. But overall, hat tip to Pat Kelsey's team. They are obviously a lot better, but they also play hard. Seem like relatively likable guys compared to some of the Louisville teams over the years. I liked Billy. The fight, it was the. Has to be the most aggressive fight with no punches thrown in history.
- [06:41]
Doug Gottlieb
Aggressive pushing?
- [06:42]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, Yeah. I don't even know if there was pushing. I think everybody kept their hands down to the side. I don't really know what Brandon Garrison was doing, but there was a lot of them. There was only one of him. Mark Pope somehow came and if you see the picture, it looked like he put Pat Kelsey in a headlock. I don't think. I don't think that's what he did. But the still frame picture makes it look like he did. But that's what you want in a good rivalry, right? Like you want some aggressiveness and you want some sort of. I don't know, you want to see two teams who really care. And I think you had that tonight. And Mario was just here and he said to me it was the loudest he had ever heard. Rupp arena. And I think that's during the second half. I think that's another great sign. I mean this, this fan base has connected with this group. When you consider when the season started, the fact that there's probably never been a Kentucky team in history that the fan base knew less about than this one. Matter of fact, I'm certain there's never been a Kentucky team where the fans knew less about them. We didn't have any players continue from last year. With the exception of Travis Perry. Most people never even followed these guys at any point in their careers. And then all of a sudden they're just on the team. And I thought to myself, will fans connect with a group of guys that they know nothing about? Well, the answer to that question is certainly yes. I mean, these guys get what the uniform means. And at a time when lots of people, including my good friend Tony Vanetti, sit here and say, oh, college sports are ruined. College basketball is ruined. How could you not love this group? This game tonight, to me is exactly why I love college athletics. The fact that some of these guys are getting money now didn't change how hard they tried. It didn't change how hard they played, and it didn't change what the names on the front of the jerseys meant. You had a Louisville player flipping off Kentucky students. You had Peyton Siva yelling at a group of Kentucky students barking back and forth. You had Kentucky players getting into it on the Louisville sidelines. You had Kentucky players throwing L's down after the game is over. It was a great chapter in the rivalry. And while both teams I think maybe have had more talent, I'm not sure you've had a lot that have cared as much as the guys did tonight. And I think that's what made the win special. Kentucky is now 10 and 1. They go to New York to play Ohio State Saturday. It's finals week, so there's no game during the week. Play Ohio State Saturday in Madison Square Garden. Ohio State does not look to be very good. They lost by 40 today to Auburn. So a good week of getting rested up and then they'll have 10 days where they'll only have one game before they start SEC play. Beat Duke, beat Gonzaga, beat Louisville. It's a pretty good start to the Mark Pope era. Also, a little special announcement for they're going to be five Saturday home games this year where if we win the game on the Sunday after the game, we will have an autograph signing with one of the players here at KSBAR. This was game one, so Jackson Robinson will be at KSBAR tomorrow from 2 to 3:30. You can come, meet him, get an autograph, take a picture from 2 to 3:30. While the Bengals, by the way, are playing the Titans as well. So hope you guys will come out and go watch Jackson or come say hi to Jackson Robinson and I bet he'll throw some. Ls down for you too, if you want. 859-280-2287. I'm going to take your calls. Billy and I are here. Billy's off next week, so as soon as this is over, he goes on vacation. So maybe we should let this one linger a little bit.
- [10:32]
Doug Gottlieb
We can wrap this one up now.
- [10:34]
Billy Rutledge
This is Kentucky, Louisville. We can't be quick with this one. We got to enjoy it. We're here at KS Bar and Grill. We will take a break. Kentucky over the Cards. Big brother beats little brother. This is the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. Welcome back. It is the local Toyota dealers KSR postgame show. UConn leads Gonzaga 43 to 40. As I'm pulling for the Zags tonight. That would help the Cats, especially after Clemson lost a little bit earlier today. Tennessee beats Illinois on a. On a coast to coast buzzer beater. Or excuse me, Tennessee. Yes, I said Tennessee beats Illinois on a coast to coast buzzer beater to stay number one in the country and undefeated. Great game there. Where? Well, it was. They had 45 free throws, Billy. In the first half.
- [11:22]
Doug Gottlieb
45 in the first half.
- [11:24]
Billy Rutledge
In the first half. And then I guess they had a meeting at halftime. There were only like six in the second half. So I don't know. I don't know how you call it. Speaking of officials, by the way, Pat Adams. Come on, dude. Like, you know, the era of sort of, look at me. Officials in college basketball, which was a huge thing even when I was a kid, it's kind of come close to ending. There are not many of those guys still left doing it. There are a handful. Our guy, Dougie Shalls and, you know, what's the one guy's name?
- [11:57]
Doug Gottlieb
Oh, man, the one with the roofing company.
- [12:00]
Billy Rutledge
No, no, he doesn't. He doesn't do it anymore. The guy. Well, I can't remember his name. I can picture him. He always. He always used to tee up Cal, but. Well, he's. He's not going. He. He retired. Yeah, I think he retired too. But Pat Adams is still going strong on that. And tonight he had some epic Pat Adams moments. I mean, culminating for me when he. A guy called a foul and he ran over and said, that's not who fouled. And the guy was like, I'm the one that called it. I think I know who fouled. They go to the monitor and of course Pat Adams was wrong. And then during the fight thing, Billy he comes on there and he, like, gives, like, an exposition to say that they were calling any. Nothing on anyone.
- [12:44]
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah, less is more in those situations.
- [12:46]
Billy Rutledge
Pat Adams, you talk about a dude that loves to see his face on television. I didn't think it was a poorly officiated game in general, but Pat Adams was specifically bad. All right, let's get started. Who's up first?
- [12:58]
Doug Gottlieb
Chop, chop.
- [12:59]
Billy Rutledge
How are you, Chop?
- [13:02]
Justin Jefferson
I'm good, man. How are you? First time, long time.
- [13:04]
Billy Rutledge
What's up?
- [13:07]
Justin Jefferson
Hey. So I've never called him before, but I'm a Cincinnati fan, but also a Kentucky fan, so I hope. I hope you'll have me. But all I want to say is all season long and then leading into the season, you said that Jackson Robinson would be our best player, and I think, you know, I think he's good and. But I also think Lamont Butler obviously showed that he is our best player, and I just wanted to get your thoughts on that.
- [13:43]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I mean, he may be.
- [13:45]
Justin Jefferson
You're also the best.
- [13:46]
Billy Rutledge
Appreciate the call. He may be our best player. I mean, I. He certainly, without question, our most important player. I mean, I. We're a different team when he's not in there, and that's even more true now that Kirk Riesa is out. We have to have him in. I thought Pope managed his minutes very well. You know, Travis Perry didn't score, and, you know, he got beat a couple times on defense, but I thought his seven minutes were actually important because you got to get. You had to get Lamont Butler arrest. But Lamont is great. I think Jackson's very good, too. I mean, we don't beat Gonzaga without Jackson, Robinson, But Lamont. Lamont's the most important player on the team. He's the leader. And the thing he's doing that is different than what he did. He was a great defender at San Diego State, but his sort of rep was get to the rim. But he can't finish. Well, he's finishing this year, and that's really making a huge difference for Kentucky because, you know, we've talked about, are there guys that can go get their own shot? He can't do it against everybody. Butler, but he can do it against a lot of guys, and that's important. It was especially important tonight where he got some. When our offense was stagnant, got some big buckets at the. At the rim. Who's next?
- [15:00]
Doug Gottlieb
Brock.
- [15:01]
Justin Jefferson
Brock.
- [15:02]
Billy Rutledge
What's up, Brock?
- [15:05]
Justin Jefferson
First time, long time.
- [15:06]
Billy Rutledge
Who are. What's up?
- [15:09]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, quick question there. What's up with Colin Chandler and His.
- [15:13]
Billy Rutledge
Playing time, he's not as good as everybody else. The answer to every question on that, unless you're talking about Cal with Reed Shepard and Rob Dillingham, is he's not as good as the other guys. I mean, you've seen Colin Chandler this year. He's played in a lot of guy games. Has he been as good as the other guys?
- [15:30]
Justin Jefferson
That seemed like he did pretty, pretty well during the exposition game.
- [15:35]
Billy Rutledge
Well, but that's the exhibition games. He's playing against people like me and you. Okay. I mean. I mean, we put him in against Gonzaga. He play. He had to play against Gonzaga and he got worked. So, I mean, I. I like Colin Chandler. I think he can be really, really good here, but he's not as good as the dudes that we have, so.
- [15:54]
Justin Jefferson
Right. I didn't know if I missed anything, if there was any injuries or anything, but. Quick shout out to Billy Rutledge there. He's the man.
- [16:03]
Doug Gottlieb
Two for two.
- [16:04]
Billy Rutledge
See there. Appreciate the call. Yeah. But see the person who's asking after we beat Louisville, why we don't play Colin Chandler more? That's a Billy Rutledge fan.
- [16:13]
Doug Gottlieb
That's fine. I'll take all of them. All fans are welcome.
- [16:16]
Billy Rutledge
Okay. No, I mean, the answer for all these guys is always going to be the same. You know, we know it is clear who our guys are. Okay. I think we have five guys. I think we have four guys that are better than everyone else. I think Butler, Robinson, car. No way are our best four players. I think Brea is a great shooter. So he slots in at 5, but he can't defend. Amari Williams frustrates me because he is either. I don't know what you think about this, Billy, but he is either like a bundle of energy or like slow to the ball and looks like he doesn't care. It's. It's so weird because when he plays with energy, he's everywhere. But tonight, I mean, he only played 15 minutes. And when Pope pulled him after he got beat a few times at the beginning of the second half, he didn't.
- [17:09]
Doug Gottlieb
Put him back in this game specifically. There were a couple times he just didn't put his hands up to contest the shot.
- [17:15]
Billy Rutledge
His hands up? No. And he made some bad decisions. And so he's kind of feast or famine. Brandon Garrison's got a lot of energy. Makes mistakes. Very athletic, but makes a lot of mistakes. I would put him then at 7. And then I think there's a big drop to everybody else. Almanor is probably 8, and then you know, Kerr's out, so then basically 10, 11, 12 with Chandler Perry, Noah. Just depends on the situation. But in my opinion, you got five guys throwing Williams and Garrison and Almanor. You got eight guys. You're going to play a lot. And really, you, though, you know, you're five. I mean, @ the end of the game, Garrison and Williams hit, went on the bench, they played Car, went small. And that's their best team. That's their. In my opinion, their best team is Car at the five, and then the four other guys, that's their best team. But they. But you know, there are going to be guys, you. Teams you have to play Williams and Garrison against. Who's next?
- [18:17]
Doug Gottlieb
Rick.
- [18:18]
Billy Rutledge
Rick. Go ahead, Rick.
- [18:20]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, guys, love this team. Love what Pope's doing. And I've got a name for this team. It may be a little early.
- [18:27]
Doug Gottlieb
Yes, please.
- [18:29]
Justin Jefferson
And it may have been brought up. But how about the Stray Cats? And they could. They could play the Stray Cat Strut when they come out onto the court.
- [18:38]
Billy Rutledge
You know, I actually don't.
- [18:40]
Justin Jefferson
And I don't hate that as they were from everywhere else. And so folks like herding Cats.
- [18:45]
Billy Rutledge
Well, I don't know about the herding part, but I actually kind of like, I appreciate the call. I'm not. I mean, you know, I hate nicknames, but Billy actually kind of like that one because there is a little bit about that. Like, these were kind of all people from everywhere, and I don't think they were unwanted. I mean, they were all very good players on their various teams. But it is a little bit of that, isn't it, Billy?
- [19:06]
Doug Gottlieb
It is. I mean, there's a little logic behind it. It just. It didn't do it for me.
- [19:11]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. And it's also not necessarily complimentary.
- [19:14]
Doug Gottlieb
Right.
- [19:14]
Billy Rutledge
Like, people don't always. When they. When they say stray cat, they're not always thinking something complimentary.
- [19:20]
Doug Gottlieb
But Drew had the right idea. The. The Remarkables. The Marksman.
- [19:27]
Billy Rutledge
No.
- [19:27]
Doug Gottlieb
The island of Misfit Toys.
- [19:30]
Billy Rutledge
That's the worst one. You cannot call.
- [19:32]
Doug Gottlieb
I don't even know where that came from.
- [19:34]
Billy Rutledge
What do you mean? You've never heard of the Island?
- [19:35]
Doug Gottlieb
No, no, I do. From Rudolph. But, like, what was that person thinking when they submitted that one?
- [19:40]
Billy Rutledge
I don't think that was a very complimentary one. Who's up next?
- [19:43]
Doug Gottlieb
Isaac.
- [19:44]
Billy Rutledge
Isaac. Go ahead, Isaac.
- [19:48]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, Matt. How are you?
- [19:50]
Billy Rutledge
I'm good.
- [19:52]
Justin Jefferson
I just got two things. Number one, Lamont Butler is one of my favorite point guards. I think in a long time. He kind of reminds me of Tyler Ulysses because He's short and he's really tough. Kind of unassuming, but as tough as male kids. I just love watching him play.
- [20:12]
Billy Rutledge
I do, too. I think he is. I think he is. He is so tough and he's smart. I mean, one of the things that's great about this team with how. With how old they are, is that they are so smart. I mean, the basketball IQ on this team is really high. And I agree with you. After watching a lot of young teams, it's fun to see that.
- [20:33]
Justin Jefferson
And my second thing to all the Louisville fans coping, saying, if we were healthy, we would have won this game. And. And all this got to feel like a loss to Kentucky because it didn't cover.
- [20:42]
Billy Rutledge
I don't eat it.
- [20:43]
Justin Jefferson
You got to suck. Ls down. Go Cap.
- [20:45]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I don't want to hear that. When people say, well, if we were healthy, you know, Louisville fans, if we were healthy, we would have won. I mean, you stop. Okay? Stop. Your two best players played. They were without the guy who got hurt with the blonde hair, and that does hurt them. But they, you know, we didn't dominate them down low, to be honest. They out rebounded us on the offensive glass, at least early. So. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not going to listen to that. If they. If they had had another guy, the score would probably been about the same because they also kind of. I mean, they hit a lot of threes. They were 344th in the country in three point shooting. And while their percentage wasn't great tonight, they made like 14 of them or how many? They end up making 15.
- [21:28]
Doug Gottlieb
That's not their normal 14 or 39.
- [21:30]
Billy Rutledge
14. Okay. So, I mean, that's what they took, 39. So it's not a great percentage. It's like 37%, but, you know, they've been shooting 27%, so I don't want to hear that. Who's up next? Chris, by the way, Kentucky just got a commitment from the transfer portal. Marshall linebacker Landon Watson is coming to Kentucky. I will say, you know, we still are waiting on the Vince Marrow, what happens there. And I think we'll probably no more tomorrow, but those are two really good gets today in the transfer portal. There's been a lot of bad news with Kentucky football, but Sam Green, the edge rusher from usc, and then this Landon Watson was maybe Marshall's best player. So those are two good gets to start their transfer portal. All right, go ahead. Who's next?
- [22:15]
Doug Gottlieb
Chris.
- [22:16]
Billy Rutledge
Chris. Go ahead. Chris.
- [22:19]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, I just want to say I love Watching this team. But one thing I think that gets lost about, maybe you've said it on your show, is typically when there's a coaching changeover, you know, you have players from the previous coaching staff that stay and, you know, one could argue, oh, you know, they're doing good because it's the other coaches. Guys kind of thing. But one of the things I love, and I think especially is these are all Mark Pope's guys. We don't have that gentleman over in Arkansas saying, you know, those are my guys. You know, that's why, you know, it's. You know, to me, that's one of the things that makes this whole thing so special.
- [22:57]
Billy Rutledge
I agree with you. I mean, yeah, I mean, they are. I appreciate the call. They are. I mean, it's. By the way, my mom is endorsing stray cats, too, Billy.
- [23:07]
Doug Gottlieb
Oh, well, game over now.
- [23:10]
Billy Rutledge
But no, they are. I mean, they're all from all over this. There have been multiple commentators now say they think Mark Pope is the early season coach of the year. And I kind of agree with that. I mean, while these guys are, like, they're better than their individual talents. Do you agree with that, Billy? Like, they're bet like, there's no pros on this team, in my opinion. I hope so. But I'd be surprised if any of these guys play in the NBA in the future.
- [23:40]
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah, no, no doubt they're greater, but.
- [23:42]
Billy Rutledge
But the hole is greater than the sum of the parts.
- [23:44]
Doug Gottlieb
Exactly.
- [23:45]
Billy Rutledge
I mean, Antonio Reeves is better than everyone we have on this team, and he, you know, is a. Although he had 28 in the game, he's kind of a fringe NBA player right now. I don't think we have any NBA players on this team. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. But, like, it doesn't matter, because they are really, really, really good college basketball players, and that's just very different than what we're used to. What's next?
- [24:09]
Doug Gottlieb
J. Witt.
- [24:10]
Billy Rutledge
J. Witt.
- [24:10]
Justin Jefferson
Go ahead, Matt. How about them cats, baby? That's all I got to say. Mark Pope. The Pope trains rolling. I've said it since preseason. Let's go. BBM for, like, BBN forever. Let's go.
- [24:27]
Billy Rutledge
I love it. I love it. That's. I love that. Now, there's some people, Billy, who are saying to me that a blue coat. All right, so I'm gonna read you. Have you seen this tweet about the guy at the game? The.
- [24:41]
Doug Gottlieb
Are you talking about the police officer?
- [24:43]
Billy Rutledge
That a police officer came and told fans in the lower level, if they didn't sit down, they would go to jail.
- [24:50]
Doug Gottlieb
Again.
- [24:52]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I mean, obviously we don't know if that's true or not. If it is, I don't think it's a crime to stand during games. I'd have to see the code, see the statute where it says that. But you know, that's. We shouldn't be doing that. But yeah, there's a couple people saying that happened and there's a video of the, of the officer walking down. So. But we didn't hear the conversation. So that is important to also know who's next.
- [25:21]
Doug Gottlieb
Lane is next.
- [25:23]
Billy Rutledge
Lane. Go ahead, Lane.
- [25:26]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, Matt, what's going on? Go cat study. First time, long time.
- [25:30]
Billy Rutledge
Hooah. What's up, man?
- [25:33]
Justin Jefferson
I got two things for you. What about the guy in the shorts across from Kelly Craft in the front row cheering on the Wildcats, baby.
- [25:43]
Billy Rutledge
Who was that? Who was that?
- [25:46]
Justin Jefferson
I have no idea. Seen him on the television, wanted to shout him out on my first thing. I got one more thing for you. What about Mark Pope putting Pat Kelsey in a headlock in that scuffle we had?
- [26:03]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. What do we think about that? That's. Did you, did you. I don't think he was trying to, but it's what it looks like.
- [26:10]
Justin Jefferson
Well, he kind of pulled up the big daddy versus little daddy, showed him who was boss in rough arena and kind of showed him what the deal was.
- [26:20]
Billy Rutledge
I mean, it does look like that, Billy, doesn't it? I mean it kind of. It looks like a little bit.
- [26:24]
Doug Gottlieb
That's what we'll remember. That and the flipping the off the fans.
- [26:28]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. Well, I like it. I agree with you. I appreciate the call that. I think in this game, when we look back at this rock, you know, every Kentucky Louisville game, there's like one or two things you can remember. This one will be lamont Butler went 10 for 10 and then probably that little, that little scuffle on the sideline. Those will probably be the two things that people remember from this game. And you know, Lamont Butler goes into the lore of great, of big time players that made their play against Louisville. I mean he joins Jim Master, Cedric Jenkins, Patrick Sparks, Tyler Ulis, Antonio Reeves last year who had 30 against Louisville. Trying to think who are the other kind of Louisville takedowns over the years. I remember, I remember. Remember the play where Willie stole it from Montrez Harrell and dunked and then looked back at him. That's one that I remember pretty well. So he kind of, I think Lamont Butler Joins that list of Kentucky guys that we will always remember their performance Jorts in the game against Louisville. George had his coming out party against Louisville that season so I think he joins joins that group. Who's next?
- [27:40]
Doug Gottlieb
Jerry.
- [27:41]
Billy Rutledge
Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.
- [27:43]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, what's up Matt Jones. Thank you ma'am. Taking my call. But only thing about me about Kentucky is right now is our premature defense, man. I think we just.
- [27:54]
Billy Rutledge
Well, we're not going.
- [27:55]
Justin Jefferson
We knew to not coming in. The white kid shoots left handed and the guard, they was going to take off the game but at the end of the day we won the game. Don't get me wrong, I bet Louisville, man, and I won good money. I took his friends but at the end of the day. Go Cats, man. Thanks for taking my call.
- [28:12]
Billy Rutledge
Go Cats. Yeah, they play hard defensively but we're not a great defensive team on the perimeter. You know, Butler is good, really good. Bray is not away and Robinson are okay. Almanor is not good defensively. Perry's not very good. Cars not very good. Williams is pretty good but. But can still get beat. We're just, we're not a great individual defensive team but when we give effort we are a team that can still hustle and get a lot accomplished. But no, we're not a great, a great team defensively, especially on the perimeter. 859280, 2287 we're going to take a break. We are here at the KS Bar and Grill. Had a great, had a great set of crowd here all day before, after and now or before during and now after the game and we'll do 30 more minutes and then Billy gets to go on vacation. This is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. Were you coming up for a picture? You could come up and take a picture. We're still, I'm still doing the show but that's all right. We'll we' do it while this guy's giving his comment. 859-280-2287 who's up first?
- [29:23]
Doug Gottlieb
Rants is next.
- [29:25]
Billy Rutledge
Rants, how are you Rants?
- [29:28]
Justin Jefferson
All right, Matt. You know, a gritty win. I think we had to grind it out. You know, I think it was a grinding type victory. A good win. But I got some stats I want to throw at you and if you can just explain them for me. I'm kind of confused. We out rebound them 41, 31. We have 11 turnovers to their seven. Yeah, but we only get up 55 shots to their 70.
- [29:51]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, it's a good. I. I thought the disparity at halftime was even more surprising. I think we went to the line more than they did. Am I right about that? How much did we. How many free throws did we shoot?
- [30:05]
Doug Gottlieb
We were 18 of 28 while they were 9 of 14.
- [30:08]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah. So we took 14 more free throws, which is basically seven more possessions. So seven of the possessions go down to us ending up shooting free throws. The turnovers, I think, make some of the difference. And then their offensive rebounds. They, at least in the first half had five offensive rebounds. We had one. I'll have to look up for the game here. They had 10 and we had seven. So, I mean, that. That. That explains the difference in possessions, but it is a weird score sheet for. Exactly. Like you said, they ended up getting up 15 more shots than we did, but we out rebounded them. That's kind of odd, but I think it was. It was the reasons I just said.
- [30:51]
Justin Jefferson
Well, I'm not sure, but if you don't get immediate when the ball comes off the rim, if you don't get immediate, if one team or the other doesn't get immediate, it becomes a loose ball. Correct. And maybe that's part of it.
- [31:03]
Billy Rutledge
It could be, yeah. I mean, the ball can bounce and still be called an offensive rebound, but then if it like were to get kicked to half court, it's not consistent, considered an offensive rebound. So. But most. Most of the time, when the ball. On a missed shot. From my day's scorekeeping, you almost always end up giving a rebound unless it like, becomes a loose ball situation.
- [31:29]
Justin Jefferson
Well, I think Louisville got in there and mucked it up. They.
- [31:32]
Billy Rutledge
No, they did. That's how they play. The only surprise was that they scored a lot. I mean, they played exactly like they've played all year. The only surprise is they scored 85 points.
- [31:44]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, and a lot of those were off. And I don't know if they were rebounds or office rebounds or got loose balls or what, but they seemed to out hustle us to a lot of balls, Matt.
- [31:53]
Billy Rutledge
I think they did for part of it, and I appreciate the call. I do think they out hustle us some. Listen, they played hard, but, you know, I mean, they hit. So they hit 14 threes, but nine of them were Edwards or Hepner, so, I mean, Edwards and Hepburn go nine for 18. They shoot 50% from three. The rest of their team went five for 20. So two guys shot 50% and the rest of the team shot 25%. And, you know, the Problem was we just gave up too many looks to those two guys especially. I mean, Edwards was in foul trouble a lot of the game, so he only ended up playing. See, he only ended up playing. How many minutes? Edwards ended up only playing 30. He missed 10 minutes, but he ended up getting up seven threes and 14 shots. We gave him too many looks. Who's next?
- [32:43]
Doug Gottlieb
Moffat.
- [32:44]
Billy Rutledge
Moffat, how are you? Moffitt.
- [32:47]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, good man. First time, long time.
- [32:49]
Billy Rutledge
Hooah. What's up?
- [32:51]
Justin Jefferson
Oh, man, you know, just over here celebrating this win. Hey, you know, I really like that wrestling move that I saw Mark Pope put on Louisville's coach over there Side headline got me thinking.
- [33:04]
Billy Rutledge
It was a side headlock.
- [33:05]
Justin Jefferson
Right now.
- [33:06]
Billy Rutledge
We just finished. We just finished the main event at Christmas Chaos for ovw and there wasn't a better headlock, I'm sure, than what Mark Pope put on.
- [33:14]
Justin Jefferson
Well, I'm glad you brought that up, because it got me thinking. Who do you think would win in a cage match between Mark Pope and Shane and the dude?
- [33:21]
Billy Rutledge
Well, I think everyone that you know outside of Billy R. Sports would win in a fight against Shannon the dude. So I would certainly put pick Mark Pope.
- [33:33]
Justin Jefferson
I love it. No, I love this team. I love Mark Pope. Go, Big Blue.
- [33:38]
Billy Rutledge
Appreciate the call. Yeah, and thanks to all the people who came. We had a huge crowd at OVW in Georgetown and sold out tonight in Louisville. So it was. It was a good. A lot of people went after the. After the basketball game, went and watched the show there. Who's next?
- [33:51]
Doug Gottlieb
Bones.
- [33:52]
Billy Rutledge
Bones, how are you?
- [33:55]
Justin Jefferson
Good. What's going on, fellas? That's two in a row my birthday week, man. So I just got a couple real quick observations, man. So for one, Kobe Bray is still kind of getting torched on defense, but he's getting better. But how about him actually looking for the drive and actually beat this man once or twice off the dribble.
- [34:12]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, that was nice. That was nice. He played. I actually thought he played well offensively. He played well offensively. He missed a couple I think he would normally make. I mean, defensively, he's just not good. And I don't think that's getting better. But if he's hitting the threes. If he's hitting the threes and getting those drives, it's okay, right?
- [34:30]
Justin Jefferson
And then a number two, like in that little scrum there when Garrison. That guy. Wouldn't happen. If you look, Garrison tries to step over the guy after the fouls call when he raises hands, and one of the Louisville players. I'm not sure which one it is. Whoever's in his face actually hugs Garrison and pulls him into the scrum. So I think they're trying to get some dirty shot.
- [34:50]
Billy Rutledge
But yeah, I don't know. It's. So I went back and looked at that. It might be how you describe it. It also might be he did one of those things where you hold your hands up but you keep walking towards the guy kind of. So I don't really know. It was hard to see.
- [35:07]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, I couldn't really tell either. But he definitely see his hands around it. But I was glad to see Mark Pope go in there and the first thing he does and start splitting everybody out there and putting him in a headlock was just to get to Garrison and get him out of the scrum.
- [35:19]
Billy Rutledge
Which is what he needs. And then he stopped away, you know, away. Both of those real scuffles we've had always been right in the center of both of them. That dude's ready to go.
- [35:29]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. And then always like our enforcer. But if you kind of go back and watch the game, I'm a little concerned. I don't know if it was the switch or if it was the screen, but a lot of the times away kind of got lost and that's how we kind of left them. And I was kind of disappointed that we weren't pushing out the threes because that's what Louisville's number, you know, known work because they don't have any inside game. But either way, great win. Go Cats. Appreciate you guys taking my call. Love you guys, man. Thanks.
- [35:55]
Billy Rutledge
Appreciate the call. I'm not in any way complaining because we won the game, but there is a sense for me where I think Away and Brea especially just didn't really play smart on defense because they gave away the only thing you didn't want to give away to Louisville, which is threes. I. I wanted Kentucky to make Louisville beat him off the dribble and in the last five minutes we did and they weren't able to do that. Yeah, we gave them too many three point looks now. I mean, that may have been the game plan because they don't shoot the ball well from three normally, but tonight they've made a bunch of them. Who's next?
- [36:29]
Doug Gottlieb
Jt?
- [36:30]
Billy Rutledge
Jt how are you, jt?
- [36:34]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, Matt.
- [36:35]
Billy Rutledge
Just want to give a shout out.
- [36:36]
Justin Jefferson
To those Louisville Cardinal basketball managers. I hope that was a big win for them last night. I know the real players were 14 to 17 and the last 17. So as long as our players in the league and their players are coaching. I think they got a good shot, those manager games.
- [36:54]
Billy Rutledge
But did they play? I mean, did they. Yeah. Did they play Peyton Siva in that game? That doesn't sound like I said it doesn't seem fair if they did that. Peyton Sieve is too good to be playing in a manager game. What'd you think about Peyton Siva kind of talking trash with the students? Are you good with that, Billy?
- [37:10]
Doug Gottlieb
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine with the jawing. I don't know if it was Peyton that started it, so I'm sure he just kind of gave it back a little bit. That's part of the rivalry and I'm glad both sides participate.
- [37:19]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I was totally fine with it. Peyton. Steve is a good dude. I like it. You know, I posted that video and. Because I like it. That's what it's about. I mean, there was no anger. It's just playfully going at each other. Peyton. Peyton says he has a ring that. I feel like they took that from him, but. But otherwise he was a really good player in his time in Louisville. Who's next?
- [37:42]
Doug Gottlieb
Danny.
- [37:42]
Billy Rutledge
Danny, how are you, Danny?
- [37:47]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, how you guys doing?
- [37:48]
Billy Rutledge
Doing good.
- [37:51]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. So I thought Butler was great, but Otega's little. He missed a free throw, then he got a steal and a dunk, hit a three and one. I mean, that was the difference in the game and the key moment.
- [38:03]
Billy Rutledge
No, you gotta love that. I don't think he played well. I don't think he played well for 36 minutes. But then he had a great.
- [38:10]
Justin Jefferson
Absolutely.
- [38:11]
Billy Rutledge
And he had a great final four minutes. And you gotta love that toughness. Game doesn't go well. He doesn't put his head down. He ends up making the big plays at the end.
- [38:21]
Justin Jefferson
It was crucial. And also, do you think Lamont Butler is better than Marcus Teague?
- [38:29]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, probably. But I mean, Marcus Teague was a freshman when he played and Lamont Butler is a. Is a fifth year senior. But. But yeah, I do think Marcus Teague.
- [38:44]
Justin Jefferson
All right, that's all.
- [38:44]
Billy Rutledge
I appreciate the call. Yeah. I mean, that's. No, that's no criticism of Teague, but I mean, if Marcus Teague was a fifth year. Was a fifth year senior, he might be. He'd probably be that good too, you know, But I would say if you're just talking about their time at Kentucky. Yeah, I think Butler's probably a little bit better. Let's do one more and we'll take a break. Who's next?
- [39:05]
Doug Gottlieb
Ed is next.
- [39:06]
Billy Rutledge
Ed. Go ahead, Ed.
- [39:09]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, guys. How great Is it when you beat your rival and you can say another one bites the dust and I'm looking forward for the next victim. Go Cats.
- [39:20]
Billy Rutledge
Totally agree. I'm looking forward to Saturday in New York. I'm not gonna, I don't think I'm gonna go. I earlier this year was thinking about going. I don't think I'm gonna go because of our trip to Seattle but would be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to January 4th. That Florida team is going to be top 10 that comes in here. They're going to play at 11 o'clock in the morning, Billy, which is going to be so strong.
- [39:41]
Doug Gottlieb
What are we doing at 11am for I don't know.
- [39:44]
Billy Rutledge
That's when they're playing it. I think it's, I think that's the day of the, the kids. I don't know what it is. It's not because it's not the College Football Playoff. That'll be the couple days before. So I don't know why they're playing at 11am but they are and it'll be a big game. I mean it's a huge game. Two top 10 teams at 11am So 859-280-2287 we will take a break. We are here at the KS Bar and Grill Cats with a big win over Louisville. Final segment coming up. This is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. Welcome back. It is the final segment of the local toy dealers KSR postgame show. Remember tomorrow 2 to 3:30 Jackson Robinson will be here to meet the fans. So come on out and say hello to him and he'll give a signature and a picture and if you, if we win enough games during the year throughout the season, if you come to all of these you could have a picture and a signature with all of the big players for Kentucky. Wouldn't that be nice Billy, to get them all over the course of the.
- [40:46]
Doug Gottlieb
Year you can stray cats. Yeah, you can get the stray.
- [40:48]
Billy Rutledge
I kind of like the stray cat. I don't think you do but I kind of do. I'm not going to lie to you. Feels like you need to maybe embrace it.
- [40:56]
Doug Gottlieb
Well if Karen's on board, I've got to get on board.
- [40:59]
Billy Rutledge
There you go. Gonzaga and yukon tied at 55. Gonzaga has been down this entire game. They fell down 10, nothing to. I don't think they had ever tied it until the last play and now it is 55, 55 in Madison Square Garden. As a Kentucky fan I'm pulling for the Zags here. Who's next?
- [41:15]
Doug Gottlieb
Gary.
- [41:16]
Billy Rutledge
Gary. Go ahead, Gary.
- [41:19]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, Matt. Long time listener, second time caller.
- [41:24]
Billy Rutledge
All right, what's up?
- [41:25]
Justin Jefferson
Called. I first called after the Pope press conference. It's just kind of been a resurgence, man. After watching this team tonight, I ain't even gonna lie. The first couple games, Duke and Gonzaga, I felt myself. I was like. I was in the mindset of the old Kentucky. Like the last couple years, once we. When we would get down a bunch, I. I wanted to turn it off.
- [41:54]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I had friends going, no, keep.
- [41:56]
Justin Jefferson
Watching it, keep watching it, keep watching it. So I kept watching it. And I said after. After the game the other night and we came back, I said I was not going to have that mindset anymore. This game here was not like that from the start. We were. We, we. This is what we've been waiting for, Matt. This right here.
- [42:24]
Billy Rutledge
Well, I agree. I mean, it's a fun team. I'm with you. I believe in them. You know, this was. There have been years, it's been hard for me to watch the Louisville, Kentucky game. I watched all this one. I felt good about it. And. Yeah, so I'm with you. It's a different. It's a different culture now. And you're right. Last few years, we fell down. I thought, we're probably losing this game. Don't feel that way this year. Appreciate the call. What do you think of the. Billy, what do you think of the away three at the end? There's still 20 seconds left on the shot clock. I was definitely doing a. No, no, no. Yes. That great shot because I can't believe he took that shot. But he made it and it ended up kind of sealing the game.
- [43:08]
Doug Gottlieb
No, I was the same way. And that guy had some pretty good dunks tonight. Couple times, came to the lane.
- [43:13]
Billy Rutledge
Couldn't believe he took that. Still have 20 some seconds left on the shot clock. But you know what went in. I'd be interested to see if Pope had the same. No, no, no. Yes. That I did during it or if he was happy he took it. Who's up next?
- [43:27]
Doug Gottlieb
Lily.
- [43:27]
Billy Rutledge
Lily. How are you, Lily?
- [43:30]
Justin Jefferson
Good. How are you?
- [43:32]
Billy Rutledge
Good. What's going on? I love that Lamont Butler was back.
- [43:39]
Justin Jefferson
And I love that the rivals. What re was that?
- [43:44]
Billy Rutledge
I do, too. Yeah? Yeah. How old are you, Lily? I'm 10 years old. 10 years old. Okay. So you. This. You've barely even seen us lose to Louisville, so you've been very lucky.
- [43:59]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah.
- [44:01]
Billy Rutledge
Well, glad you called it. Thanks. I hope you enjoyed the win. Appreciate it, Lily. 8, 5, 928-02287. Just had a couple walk out of this bar. Guy was. Has had a Louisville hat on. His wife had a Kentucky shirt. So there are still split marriages around the state. Let's do five more and we'll finish the night. Who's next?
- [44:19]
Doug Gottlieb
James.
- [44:20]
Billy Rutledge
James. Go ahead, James.
- [44:22]
Justin Jefferson
Hey. First time, long time. Ls down.
- [44:26]
Billy Rutledge
Ls down.
- [44:28]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah. So it was great having you guys out in Seattle. It was great watching that win. It was great watching the win today. And did I see Ben tomorrow in the Interrupt Arena?
- [44:41]
Billy Rutledge
I did. I did not. But I wasn't looking for him. He very well could have been. He was there. Okay.
- [44:48]
Justin Jefferson
Would he actually go to the game if he was going to leave for unc?
- [44:53]
Billy Rutledge
Probably not. I feel better about him staying than I did on the pregame show and I'll just kind of leave it at that. We'll talk more about it. I think we'll probably hear more about it maybe tomorrow and talk about on Monday. But I feel on the pregame show because I hadn't heard anything. I kind of wondered what that meant. But then I talked to some folks after the game and I feel better about it now.
- [45:19]
Justin Jefferson
Awesome. I appreciate it. You guys have a great night.
- [45:21]
Billy Rutledge
Thank you. You too. Four more. Who's next?
- [45:24]
Doug Gottlieb
Terry's next.
- [45:25]
Billy Rutledge
Terry. Go ahead, Terry.
- [45:28]
Justin Jefferson
Well, tonight is going to be my first real criticism of Mark Pope. I thought his substitution pattern tonight was an A, but his defensive adjustments was about a D. He should have went zone. He should have went zone on Louisville. I mean, the only way they could hurt us in way they did hurt us was the three pointer. And had he went zone, I think that would have. That would have mixed them up a little bit and we would have been fine. But my hats off the Louisville a little bit because in the first half I didn't think we could have played much better. And they didn't. They didn't fold. They stayed. They stayed with us.
- [46:20]
Billy Rutledge
Yeah, they did.
- [46:21]
Justin Jefferson
And. But Lamont Butler, I mean for a guy who's coming off of a ankle and the game time decision to play that kind of game, I mean, you just gotta take your hat off to that dude. I mean, I mean, obviously without him we don't win. But he just, I mean, what, what a game. No, he played great, Butler. I did.
- [46:47]
Billy Rutledge
He played great.
- [46:48]
Justin Jefferson
I mean it was, it was just there. And I really. I liked Pope down the stretch. He stayed with Garrison instead of Williams and I thought that was key. Thanks.
- [46:59]
Billy Rutledge
Appreciate the call. Yeah, defensively we did not play well. And I didn't like the shots. We were. We were kind of letting Louisville get some of. It's because they could beat us off the dribble. But really not a lot of it. That was really only Brea. A lot of it was. We were just. We were getting. We weren't playing up on them. I mean, think about how Gonzaga played against us in the first half. I wish that we had played Louisville like that. I think they would have really struggled to score. But with that said, we were able to answer and it ended up being fine. As soon as I said Gonzaga tied it, Connecticut goes on a 10 over run and now they lead by 10. Three more. Who's next?
- [47:37]
Doug Gottlieb
Nathan.
- [47:38]
Billy Rutledge
Nathan. Go ahead, Nathan.
- [47:41]
Justin Jefferson
Hey, Matt, can you hear me?
- [47:42]
Billy Rutledge
Yes.
- [47:45]
Justin Jefferson
How's it going? First, first off, I just have a question about Amare's defense. I know he was all defense, you know, again with Drexel and you know, I'm not sure who he's playing against but you know, especially tonight his defense didn't look great at all.
- [48:00]
Billy Rutledge
His defense was bad tonight. He's. But there are times he plays really good defense. I mean, there for me, I think it's like an effort thing with him because I feel like when his efforts good, he is really, really solid on defense. But tonight he was not good. And as Billy said, there were a couple plays where he didn't even have his hands up. And you can't do that, especially as a big.
- [48:23]
Justin Jefferson
Yeah, like it, like it would seem like a guard would go to drive in and he would just back up and like leave him alone and not even try to jump and block it or contest it or anything. And also, are you like shocked that Away is doing as good as he is? I feel like he wasn't.
- [48:39]
Billy Rutledge
Oh, he's definitely. If you're looking at the overall year. Yeah, if you're looking at the overall year, he's been my biggest surprise. No doubt. Appreciate the, appreciate the call. I thought he'd be like the sixth man and he is, you know, probably our fourth best player and some nights he's our first best player, depending on how it goes. So you know, our top four of Robinson, Butler, Carr and Away is a really, really good top four. And then when you throw in how good a shooter Brea can be, that's a really good five. And like I said, I don't think any of them are pros, but I don't think that matters. I think they're just really, really good college players that they're fun to watch too. Who's up next? Keith. Keith. What's up, Keith?
- [49:28]
Justin Jefferson
All right, man. I'm sorry. I'm. I'm just watching the Redneck Brawl on the Louisville media box. So if y'all. After this last call, you don't need to switch over to that. It's. It's classic.
- [49:38]
Billy Rutledge
What. What is Redneck Brawl? I don't know what that is.
- [49:42]
Justin Jefferson
Well, just think. Just think. Rednecks in a boxing ring with.
- [49:47]
Billy Rutledge
But what's it on with some.
- [49:50]
Justin Jefferson
It's on the Louisville media box.

Okay. All right. I probably don't have that channel, but go ahead anyway.

Great, great. You know, back and forth about. About each player, blah, blah, blah. But all I can talk about is the broadcast. I cannot stand every time that. That UK would cheer, ESPN would mute the sound. It's.

Billy Rutledge
I don't like. I don't know why they do that. I don't understand why, you know, we. Now, all of our games are on espn, and that's what it's going to be for the. For the future. I mean, we're. That's. They're our broadcast partner. But there's no doubt back when CBS used to do the games, that the RUP sounded louder during those games. And I watch when, like, they. When they're at Kansas and Duke, you can hear the crowd. Now, I'll grant you that RUP isn't always like that, but tonight it was. And I'm with you. I. The crowd does not come through on ESPN broadcast of our games. And I don't know. I don't know why that is.

Justin Jefferson
Even. Even when we got loud and the broadcast even got a little louder, it turned it down from 11 to 5, like, instantly. It's like, oh, we're waking up the old people. We got to turn this down. I'm sitting here with my family, and we're like, what is going on? We want to cheer, but it's like, nope, nope, don't stay. It's kind of like the guy who's getting arrested for standing up. You're like, you can't stand up at home. You're like, they just mute us.

Billy Rutledge
Yeah, I do think there's something about the way they do, and I appreciate the call. The way they do their crowd mics or something. Like, it's. It. The sound does not come through from Rupp arena on espn. And I don't. I don't like that. Like, I saw the clip this morning of Tayshon Prince hitting the five threes, and that was a CBS game. And if you listen you feel like you're at the game and it just does not feel like that when they're at RUP arena on espn. And since all of our games in the foreseeable future are going to be there, I wish they would find a way to do it. Who's next?

Hey, Matt. It's been a while since I called. Been several years since I've been to a game and I'm so happy I got to go to this game tonight. The energy in that place was amazing. Everybody around me was loud. So many people standing up. Cameron Mills was actually right beside of me. And that dude is such a fan. Like he was jumping out of his seat. We were all jumping out of our seat. Absolutely loved it. Love what Mark Pope has done with his team. He has made Kentucky basketball fun again. And I stayed and was actually the last person in line to get an autograph from him. And he, every person he talked to, he was so happy to see him. He traded stories with people smiling ear to ear. Like, this was such a fun night. Ls down. Go big Blue.

Well, I love that. I mean it is. It's great to have a coach who he gets this place and that, you know, it's not more important than winning to us, but it's right there with it and he gets this place and that's, that's awesome to be a part of. Cats get a victory once again over Louisville. 14 in the last 17. Big win at home. 10 and one now on the season. They will play against Ohio State on Saturday.
