we'll take some calls today.

So we'll have open lines like we always do here on the pre-show.

What a win for the cats as the UK women's basketball team beats Purdue

76 to 35 last night, Shannon. That's worth celebrating, isn't it? Oh, yeah. How are you? Yeah, that's what we're going to talk about today, the women's basketball team, because the men certainly didn't show up for their game. Yeah, you mentioned we're going to be taking some phone calls. You think we'll have any strong takes, any strong opinions from callers today?

After that game last night, I'm talking about the men's game.

Yeah, for both games, Shannon.

I mean, when you hold Purdue to only nine points in the second half, I mean, that's cause for celebration.

So if you'd like to call today, 859-280-2287, or if you have some takes about the

Kentucky men's team losing to Michigan State, 83 to 66 at Madison Square Garden, we'll take some of those calls to. Shannon, it's kind of a gloomy day here in Lexington. There's a fog that's sinning and it kind of, I feel like, matches maybe what a lot of BBN feels this morning. How are you? I'm all right. I'm wide awake. I woke up at 4 o'clock this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided, you know what I'll do? I'll do some show. I'll do some show prep. I'm going to go back and watch the highlights or the low lights of the Kentucky, Michigan State game last night just to make sure I didn't miss anything. And it was just as brutal going back and watching the highlights as it was watching the game in real time. I mean, where do you want to start? I mean, Kentucky was, I don't know. Do you call that a blowout? Like, what point total would you call a blowout? Is it 20? Because it felt like Kentucky really got blown out last night. They only had beat by what, 17, but it felt like a blowout.

Got up to 24 at one point. They competed for about seven minutes, but then it felt like the game was in hand for Michigan State. Kentucky battled back to 10 at one point, but Michigan State called a timeout,

regrouped, looked much better coming out of that timeout, and I don't know, man, Kentucky never had a chance.

And that may come from the top down.

We'll get into all of it today.
