Welcome everyone. It is the local toy dealers KSR Postgame Show Kentucky loses a an extremely bad home loss 73 68. Missouri finishes on a 15 to two run to beat the Cats in Rupp and Kentucky starts Owen two in the SEC for the first time ever is what I'm reading. That's hard for me to believe, but apparently it is true. First time 02 Kentucky in the SEC. You can give us a shout. 859280 2287. You know, this was bad and it was bad in a couple different ways. First, the first half the offense was just so atrocious that it was hard to watch and Kentucky couldn't do much of anything. I thought Mark Pope was fairly was honest at the end of the game when he said in the half court this team's offensive. He used the phrase pacing. But I think it also could just apply to the offense in general. It's just brutal. It's just terrible. They have almost nothing they can do to get good shots in the half court, really beyond low running around until something comes open and either shoots or passes. Beyond that, if they don't get some sort of transition game to get, get the defense thrown off, they just, they just can't score. I mean, they, it's, it's running in mud hoping you get fouled. In the second half, they got in transition some. They were able to get some pace, get some open threes and things were better. But I mean, this game ultimately the the story is the last 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Kentucky's up by eight away hits a three to put Kentucky up eight. And when you're at home up eight with 4 minutes and 15 seconds left, I don't care who you're playing, you can be playing any team in the country. You need to win that game. And Kentucky not only didn't win it, they went from up eight to losing in three minutes. And the last minute was just a comedy of errors. The turnovers. You know, I heard Mark say in the post game that he thought the decision making was actually very good. But. But the execution, poor man. I don't know. I mean, I understand in theory why Garrison and Moreno were in. They had actually played pretty well up until that point. But I don't really understand how when you need buckets down the stretch, you want to put their hands on the ball to make the decision as to where the ball goes. Neither of them have necessarily been proven to be very capable passers and they had back to back turnovers on back cuts. I mean, Pope said we got exactly what we wanted. I don't know. I mean, I. A back cut with 2. With 4. Four hands in between you and the guy getting the ball. I don't know. It's not crazy to think that might not work out. And it doesn't. Otega misses a wide open layup. He's actually missed a lot of layups this year, usually long, usually coming from the left. And he did it again. And then they don't box out on a free throw. Malachi Moreno, if you want to be really sick, go watch that box out. He, he, he touches the guys boxing out and then just leaves him and the ball goes over his head. Oh, a almost lost it on him. And I kind of understand. It was really a horrible attempt at a box out. They make the free throws and then I don't know what that shot was at the end. I mean, I, you know, Jalen, I guess he had to take it because there wasn't. But I mean, what. I don't understand what the play is that with nine seconds left, you call time out and you have maybe your two bed. It's three point shooters on the floor, Aberdeen and Williams standing next to each other. Go look at that. They're standing next to each other, which suggests to me that either of their defenders could double the other one. I guess the play was for low to drive to the basket and then draw defense and kick out. But if you're Missouri, why would you even stop the Dr. I mean, Pope said we wanted him to drive and then kick it out to Williams. But if you're Missouri, why do you even stop the drive? It's a three point lead with five seconds left. You just let him have that layup. Probably. So I don't know. This has been a baffling, baffling, bafflingly terrible job by Mark Pope this year. Awful, awful. Just an awful coaching job. And I say that in part because I don't think you can just say the man can't coach. He's had success. I thought what he did with last year's team was very impressive, but this is a dis. I mean, this is awful. It's a disaster. I thought Mark finally sounded like himself in the post game today. He didn't sound. It was the first time I've heard him after one of these losses. Not be either rude or insanely sad. He actually sounded like himself for the first time. And I appreciate him explaining what happened, but I don't know how we got here. I mean, you go look at his quotes at the beginning of the year. He's got a Ferrari. He can't wait. He can't wait to unleash it. I mean, this team is. Offensively, is almost worse. Defensively, I think they've improved as the year's gone on. I actually thought they played pretty good defense tonight for most of the game, but they held Missouri to 73. You got to win. When you. When they do say, I mean, you got to be at 68 points. It's a team that, you know, we don't have to talk about how much it costs, but it cost a lot, and you can't get more than 68 points at home. Even though we led in the second half, I kind of felt like we were outplayed most of the game, but we still. We should have won up eight with four minutes and 15 seconds left. You should win. And now the specter of not making the tournament is real. You know, they are. They are nine and six. They have lots of losable games to come, and not a lot of certainly win games to come. You could argue that in theory. Easiest game is coming Saturday night. And I don't know how confident any of us feel about. About it. So I'm. I'm pretty down about the team. It's hard for me to see. You know, last year we lost a bunch of games in the sec, but I. I could see how that team could be good if things. You know, they obviously needed Butler to be healthy and they needed to make shots and et cetera, but there was a way you could see them beating almost any team in the country except Alabama. It's kind of hard for me to see us beating anybody good right now because we cannot score. And I don't know how that gets better. And I don't know how if in the last four minutes of the game, he still doesn't know who he's playing. I mean, that's part of the thing, Billy. They have no. I mean, I thought the play Colin Chandler made at the end that was a great play, but he hasn't played the whole game.
