KSR Pre-show being brought you by Atalix,

found Italian dining in Lexington.

And, well, that didn't go as expected last night, Billy.

Kentucky loses to Louisville 9688.

It was a great road environment.

I'll give you my initial takeaways. You can give me yours.

I think the first thing that I really noticed watching these two teams play was just how similar

they play. Louisville and Kentucky, both of them up and down the floor, play a fast pace. A lot of

three-point shots going up.

I mean, Louisville kind of beat Kentucky at their own game.

You know, Kentucky likes to play fast.

They like to shoot a lot of threes.

Kentucky had 34 attempts.

Louisville gets up 43-point shots.

But I think, Billy, also the thing that I take away from this game is the defense that we saw in that Georgetown game kind of reared its ugly head again. Because if you look at the offense, going on the road

in that environment scoring 88 points, yeah, there were some bad things individually on the

offense, but overall, just looking at the team offensively when you go on the road, you play

your rival, you play in that loud environment, you get 88 points. That's not all that bad, but the defense still leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah, that was a tough one last night, dude. It's good to see you this morning. I'm actually broadcasting from my house trying to cheer myself up, looking at my certificate from Andy Bashir when he named me a Kentucky colonel. You haven't framed that yet?
