Welcome in to the Sources Say podcast, your go-to Kentucky basketball podcast on the KSR podcast network, presented by Club Blue.

Club Blue is the official collective partner of the University of Kentucky.

I am your host, as always, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio,

and I am stressed. I am unfreeking believably stressed, Sean Smith. I have a speech impediment

because I'm so stretched, stress. All right, let's ride. Sean, what's going on, buddy?

We're wrapping up a ridiculous Mark Pope show, and I'm excited to talk about it. Yeah, me too. I'm not as

stressed as you are, but we've got to talk. Stretched. I'm not as stressed as you are, but you know,

here we are. I said a week ago that we would have some more highs, we would have some more lows.

Well, this is one of those episodes that are kind of caught in the in between, right?

Like you don't want to, we don't want to focus too much on what happened Saturday,

but we got to talk about especially those final four or five minutes,

but we also got to look ahead to a big game coming up midweek before we get to a huge road matchup again.

Yeah, it sucks.

You go and pull it off against the volunteers and you do it in such a, you know,

convincing way like, man, how this team just finds a way.

Like they're just so gutsy and they're just so, you know, backs against the wall.

They just always figure it out.

And that's kind of just what leads to,

you know, how frustrating Saturday was. So I left Thursday, got down to Austin, my brother and

sister-in-law live down in Austin. So I had an all-time weekend down in Austin. Absolute blast.

I've been trying to put together this like KSR road trip thing with if Stephen

Peak works his absolute butt off on those things way harder.
