Welcome into the Sources Say podcast, your go-to-Kentucky Basco 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, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio.

Very excited to be joined by Sean Smith once again.

We have a bracket.

We have a first round matchup and we have a

And, you know, the reason why it's been kind of spotty with scheduling and kind of getting

a consistent show here live has been because you have been pushing all your chips in on that.

And we support that. And we're very proud of you. So, and we'll talk about it in a second.

But Mark Pope kind of gave you guys an indirect shoutout tonight.
