Welcome, everyone, to another edition of the KSR pre-show.

Today is Wednesday, November 27th.

I am Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the Dude.

Text us at 502-265-66.

And as always, the KSR Pre-show is brought to you by Italix. Fine Italian

dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky on Main Street here in the city center. It is the day

before Thanksgiving. I am feeling thankful. I am ready to go and glad to be with you. Shannon

the dude, who just got his team's video working. I now see you. Good morning, dude. What's up? Hey, what's going on, man? How are you? You ready for your, I guess you don't get a four-day weekend. I guess none of us really do. No. A lot of people listening get a four-day weekend. So enjoy that. Not all of us get that. But yeah, Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow.

Looking forward to that.

And what a fun game last night for Kentucky.

Although it was a struggle, I'm sure you were a little proud that your hilltoppers hung in there for the most part last night during the game.

So what was your thought on that?

Yeah, I'm really satisfied by the effort and the energy that the hilltoppers showed.

I mean, they were only down six with about, what, 10 minutes left, Shannon. So I thought they gave Kentucky their toughest test of the year besides Duke and kind of made them

fight through some adversity and have to deal with some things that they hadn't this year.

Matt said in the post game that he never thought it really was a game.

Maybe I'm a little biased.

My blood was flowing.

There was no doubt at that point in the second half.

But, you know, a team that like we talked about played very similar to Kentucky.
