Welcome into the Sources Say podcast, your go-to Kentucky basketball podcast on the KSR podcast network.

I am your host, Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio.

Very excited to be joined down here in beautiful Birmingham, Alabama at SEC Tipoff 26 here at the Grand Bohemian Mountain Brook Hotel.

Actually, I don't know if I want to reveal all that,

so just ignore that I said that, but we are in somewhere in Birmingham.

But hey, we're here covering all 16 SEC teams,

but they've separated it in a very unique way

this year, Zachary, where it's eight

teams on day one with both men and women going for each respective program, and then day two

will feature the other eight that we missed both the men and women. So last year we were able

to do this, and it was all 16 teams. It was just

we got to get every, every take imaginable after that, but it was a little chaotic, a little bit,

you know, greater gaps today to kind of regather your thoughts. So kind of incomplete doing

this show. But hey, that's all right. It's Tuesday night. We got to make sure that we do this. So welcome back to the Sources Say podcast. Zach Gagin. Yeah, thanks, Jackery. Happy to be here. Yeah, they switched up the format. Usually we would have like a men's day and then a women's day. I prefer how this works out because it allows us the easy opportunity to go back to back with Kenny Brooks,

the women's team leading right into Mark Pope and the men's team. So that was actually very nice.

They were the very last team though. So we had to go through, I mean, who'd we talked?

Mike White had a plain mishap apparently at like 8 the morning, I guess, getting here. The whole Georgia team was late. But we we got to talk to Cal Perry Nate Oates was up here as well Mark Byington I'm trying to think of all the other

any other Don Staley we'll talk about her later Sean Miller yeah so we got to see a lot of the

kind of the bigger names and then tomorrow we've got like Rick Barnes. And there's one other big

name tomorrow besides Rick Barnes. Who is it? Who am I thinking of? Stephen Pearl is definitely a big one. Yeah, that'll be interesting. And Todd Golden. That's the one I was thinking of. So we'll be able to, well, I think we'll be able to hit all of those three tomorrow before we actually end up heading out. So, but yeah, it's been a long, busy day, but we've gotten to talk a lot of basketball all day long, so it's been awesome.

You know what's even more awesome is the interview that you're going to get here at the to wrap of the show, bringing on ESPN's Myron Metcalf.

Absolutely incredible what he does.
