The cats get a big win last night on the road at South Carolina, 7263.

We'll talk about that and take your phone calls as we go throughout the show today.

Billy, I assume that

you're home because you had a late night doing the postgame show. How'd that go last night? Do we

have some happy callers or what was the vibe last night from fans after the win? Good to be with you

this morning, dude. It was Drew hosting the post game show last night. And while some callers

tried to bring in a little negativity, you played a really bad South Carolina team, the game was close late. Other callers would not let that happen. So we had a string of positive calls to end the night. And that set the mood. You know what I mean? That set the tone for the rest of the day and now today. So there were some people trying to be negative about it, but ultimately it was good. It was a bit of a late one here last night for me, Shannon, and I'm having a bad hair day this morning. So I do apologize as you have to see that. That's okay. I can see inside your house with our Zoom setup that we got going on here. You like my background? You got, it looks like you get the part going right down the middle with the hair yeah no i i see i see a lamp in the background

which miraculously looks to be still intact we know your history with lamps and breaking lamps

when we go on the road to furnisher stores so that that looks good yeah there's like a little place that

play kitty area here oh my gosh what is that you got a whole like there's like a little place that play kitty area here oh my gosh what is that

you got a whole like that's like a tent do you have there yeah for the cat yeah that's for the cats

or is that where you sleep when you're uh on marissa's bad lost yeah kicked out of the bed no that's

it's just a little uh my office has become like a little play area kind of thing so you know that happens with kids I'm

sure but for me it happens with cats yeah so last night wasn't pretty but hey it's it's not

a fashion show as demarcos cousins what said this ain't no spelling bee Kentucky got the win

which may or may not have put them in the tournament.

I'm not willing to say that yet.

I mean, I think that if you still lose the next three, even though they're quad one wins, or quad one games, I should say,

even if you were to lose those games and then lose the first one in the SEC tournament, that would put you at 18 and 14.

I don't know if that, I don't know that I would feel a hundred percent confident that Kentucky would make the tournament
