Speaker 3: The brackets came out thirty minutes ago. Smoked one Wig

00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: responded live to every pick with language and gestures that

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: quite frankly can't be repeated here on this selection show.

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: But boys, we'll just start off with a good evening.

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: You're what you are, one of our basketball exports, fitti.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: That's why you're here this night. It seems like you.

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 4: Got a little bounce into your step here on Selection Sunday. Yeah.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 5: To me, it's the best Sunday of the sports calendar.

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: It's better than Super Bowl Sunday. It's better than Master Sunday,

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 5: is better than Daytona five hundred Sunday, because it gives

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 5: us the greatest gift in sports, the twenty twenty six

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 5: NCAA Tournament. The bracket is out, our bellies are full,

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 5: and I'm ready to talk basketball for the next two hours.

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: Absolutely smoke.

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: What does what does this night, in this time of

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: the year mean to you as a as a not

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: just a Duke fan, but a sports condisseurd that you are.

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: I mean, it means a lot to me.

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 6: I'm I'm a born and native North Carolinian, so by

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 6: right of passage, I care deeply about Selection Sunday, and

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 6: outside of one year, Duke in my lifetime has made

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 6: the NCAA Tournament one way or another. So you know,

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 6: we got three of the four Big four in the

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 6: NCAA Tournament this year. That's an improvement over what we've

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 6: had the last couple of years or right at it.

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 6: And we got a lot of interesting teams both representing

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 6: the Carolinas and just as a whole specifically with how

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 6: some of these regions played out. And I think the

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 6: margin of error compared to some of the years past

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 6: is nowhere years big. I think it's a lot smaller

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 6: for a lot of these teams, even the one seeds flounder.

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: You've been on my show with me for a long time.

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: You've been on the station for a while now as well,

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: doing various things. And one of our topics we talk

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: about a lot is it seems like we talk a

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: lot about the problems in college sports, college football, nil

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: and recruiting in college basketball and the roster building and

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: we don't know enough players. But it feels like, no

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: matter what the negatives are around us, it still feels

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: like this is a big deal, right, This still matters

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: these weeks in March, whether it's a great conference tournament

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: week that we just saw onto the Big Dance, it

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: still feels like no matter how many problems we have

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: in this sport, this still resonates with a lot of people.

63
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 7: This is why we fight for this every single year.

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 7: When they want to talk about tournament expansion, we get

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 7: to the point where we say, do you really want

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 7: to expand a field that is so great because as

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 7: you look at this field, it feels like so many

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 7: teams have a chance to make a run here. And

69
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 7: that's what's so exciting. I mean, we were watching, you know,

70
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 7: this election show, and we're excited about just about every

71
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 7: matchup that pops up on the screen. I just I

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 7: don't know if you're going to have that same type

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 7: of feeling if a team like Auburn, who were debating

74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 7: should they be in the tournament field, ends up making

75
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 7: the field easily. So that's kind of where I'm at

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 7: with that kind of stuff. But looking at this bracket, man,

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 7: I'm excited. I think, as Smoke said, there are going

78
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 7: to be some tests for some of these one seats,

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 7: There's no doubt about that. But when it's all said

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 7: and done, I think we're going to have an amazing

81
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 7: Final four national championship.

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: In this hour of the program, next segment, we're going

83
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: to do full in depth reaction to Duke UNC and

84
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: State seating. How much pressure is on Hubert Davis in

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: this tournament. There's a lot to unpack with what's taking

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: place with State here and how close they were to

87
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: not making it. And then the end of this hour,

88
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna do more acc Virginia, Clemston, Miami, Louisville, and

89
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: then of course Queen's in for the first time, and

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: we'll also talk about High Point being in a similar

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: spot that they were kind of been last year. We'll

92
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: talk about them as well. Quansimoto. When this bracket came out,

93
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 3: what's the what's the first thought, what's the first thing

94
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: your eyeballs, obviously besides your own team, Like, what stood

95
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: out to you during with this bracket?

96
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you look at the East and I call it

97
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 5: the all brand region. In that bracket, you've got Duke,

98
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: You've got Yukon, You've got UCLA, You've got Louisville, Kansas,

99
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 5: and you've got Saint John's and along with Michigan State.

100
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 5: And the first thing I look for, too bone outside

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: of where my team is going, is what's the first

102
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 5: team I can identify? This committee cannot see properly, and

103
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: that to me that.

104
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: That team is Saint John's.

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: You're talking about a team that won a Big East

106
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: regular season title, they won a Big East tournament title,

107
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: they punked a Yukon last night at the Garden, and

108
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 5: they come in.

109
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: As a five point you a couple of times, Yah, yeah, no.

110
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: The granted, you know Yukon got them back and on

111
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: their home floor. But to my team is twenty eight

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 5: and six. You've got the pedigree of Rick Petino. You're

113
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 5: talking about a team that's you know, sweeping their regular season,

114
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 5: their conference tournament championships. You've got the biggest player of

115
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: the year. You've got a lot of parts. That's what

116
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: suggests that they should be at least I thought. I

117
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 5: thought a three, maybe at the worst case of four

118
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 5: come in coming into today, they they fall on the

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: five line. So that was probably the first thing that

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: stood out to me the most. And then you know,

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: another thing I was really looking forward to, and I

122
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: know we're gonna do some masy talk later on in

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 5: the show. When I saw Miami as a seven, you

124
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: really got worried about how undervalued could Virginia have been.

125
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: But Virginia, I thought, coming into three. I thought, for

126
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: as wrong as the committee gute it with Saint John's,

127
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 5: the guy right with the Who's or It's twenty nine

128
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 5: to five, finished second in the ACC regular season and

129
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 5: pushed but pushed Duke to the brink last night and

130
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: the ACC Tournament final.

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: I think Virginia was right where I thought they would

132
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: be in Miami, kind of projected to be a seven,

133
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: although I think they are very dangerous seven. I think

134
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: you're right the fact that in the East Saint John's

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: is a five, in Yukons a two. As a Duke fan,

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: I have more fear in this moment of Saint John's

137
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: as a five than I would Yukon as a two.

138
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 4: Should they be?

139
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: That being Saint John's and Yukon that far apart from

140
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: each other on the seed line. If Yukon's a two,

141
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: Saint John's I would think should be. I know they

142
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: can't be in the same region as that, really, but

143
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 3: you would think that Saint John's would be a three.

144
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: Arkansas also wins the SEC and they're a four seed.

145
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: That's another thing that stood out to me. Smoke when

146
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: the bracket came out and you were not yelling at

147
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: various people on the TV screen all with love. What

148
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: stood out to you first thoughts in this bracket?

149
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: The West is going to be an absolute battlefield. I thought,

150
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 6: you know, Duke, because the first bracket that was revealed

151
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 6: the region was the East, and I felt Duke having

152
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 6: to go against Saint John's.

153
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh man, that's tough.

154
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 6: And then you see Kansas potentially as a second round

155
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: game against Saint John's absolute battlefields. And then the West

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: was revealed Arizona as a number one seed, and I

157
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 6: think they're like the second number one seed. I think

158
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 6: they got the hardest drawl of any of these number

159
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 6: one seeds. They got to go potentially in the sweet

160
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 6: sixteen against either Wisconsin or Arkansas byu if they can

161
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 6: catch fire with the bants, but I don't know about that.

162
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: But even then, in the bottom of the bracket, Miami

163
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 6: is a seventh seed. You have Miami as a seventh

164
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 6: seed on your bracket. Honestly, they should be about a

165
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 6: five seed or six seed. A seventh seed, I feel

166
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 6: like is disrespectful and that's going to be a big

167
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 6: battle for Purdue that potentially has to go against Miami

168
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 6: in the second round. Because I'll go ahead and tell

169
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: you right now, I think the Canes are going to

170
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 6: take it to the Tigers.

171
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: How about that while we got one man out there listening, Miami, Missouri,

172
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure that'll be a text to the state you

173
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: can hear at some point.

174
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: Well, honestly, I think I'm expecting a text any moment

175
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 6: now from Frank Cafe.

176
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: What you're talking about in that region is Guards win

177
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 3: in March, and Arizona to me would be the team

178
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: that would feel most safe with saying they're going to

179
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: the Final four, the championship game coming into the bracket.

180
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: But founder with Guards winning in March, they've got to

181
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: deal with Brydon Smith as a two seed who all

182
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: of a sudden produced back alive again. I thought they

183
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: were dead in the water. Now all of a sudden,

184
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: they're alive. They've got to deal with the Guards from Wisconsin,

185
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: potentially maybe Arkansas's Guards depending on that matchup. There's a

186
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: lot for Arizona to deal with their We'll handle that

187
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more. In the Final four Bold

188
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: Predictions category found Foundini What stt out to you here?

189
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 7: I mean, there's a couple of different things, but I

190
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 7: think the first thing that I go to is I

191
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 7: think the most suspect one seed is Michigan. But the

192
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 7: problem is is that they don't have any tests that

193
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 7: I think are going to really get to them until

194
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 7: maybe they get to that Elite eight and so so

195
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 7: I think they got you know, Texas Tech is a

196
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 7: five seed. I think is not I'm not going to

197
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 7: say an easy draw, but that's a team that's banged up.

198
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: They're not the same team that they were earlier this year.

199
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 7: I think Alabama they're vulnerable as well, especially with the

200
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 7: way that they play, relying so heavily on the three ball.

201
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 7: I like their their point guard, but I do think

202
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 7: that they certainly are going to be one that's gonna

203
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 7: be difficult to see, you know, where exactly they're ultimately

204
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 7: gonna end up. I think Michigan's got uh the you know,

205
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 7: prowess to be able to match up against say a.

206
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: Case of injury. They haven't been quite the same.

207
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I do think I would trust them against

208
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 7: Alabama because how is Bama going to match up against

209
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 7: Mara on the inside London board? So that's that's gonna

210
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 7: be really difficult. And then you go to the bottom

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 7: of the bracket, and I mean Iowa State. I like

212
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 7: Iowa State. There's some really good elements to that team.

213
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 7: But at the same time, they rely so heavily on

214
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 7: Mam Chilovich from beyond the arcs, so that even that

215
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 7: that gives you a road for Michigan to be to

216
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 7: make a run, which I thought coming in if they

217
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 7: got the right teams, they could be in some trouble.

218
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: When we were watching the selection show together, By the way,

219
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: Willie p is ticing in seven oh four five, seven

220
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: nine to sixty Dame. He has wrote down Smoke's name

221
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: on his h on his list, So there you go.

222
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: So that's the first name. Oh we are. We are

223
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: ten minutes into the brackets being out on WFNZ and

224
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: Willie's already writing down names on his list. We're off

225
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: and running. When we were watching the selection, j'all as

226
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: smoke this. We won't want to go to the same

227
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: mortar every time the last smoke this question. When we're

228
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: watching the selection show, there's always teams that pop up,

229
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: whether it be a matchup or a region where someone

230
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 3: goes oh as like a team will stand out or

231
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: a surprise, which which to you, Smoke is a surprise

232
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: team to watch that was revealed a few minutes ago.

233
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 6: I'll be honest, and maybe it's just because I've watched

234
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: a lot of them this year with them being the ACC,

235
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 6: I think Miami's a team to watch out for because

236
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 6: of the veteran presence that they have with Renaul and Donaldson,

237
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: along with some of the young talent they have. I'll

238
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 6: go ahead and say it right now. I'm I'm starting

239
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 6: ouf hot. Miami is going to the elite A wow,

240
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 6: whoa whoa wow.

241
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 5: On board, I think I'm challenging Colin for ACC supremacy

242
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 5: on the station.

243
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: I think the way that this, we don't do that

244
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: around here.

245
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, but I really just look at this. I

246
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 6: think they should take care of Missouri. I think that

247
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 6: they'll have their toughest battle will be against Purdue, but

248
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 6: I think they'll beat them. I'm not really scared if

249
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 6: if I'm Miami, of BYU or whoever you know, gets

250
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 6: out of that first four game that we'll get to

251
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 6: a little bit later.

252
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: This isn't a Gonzaga team.

253
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 6: The last three years of Gonzaga really haven't been scared

254
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 6: ever since they lost the national title game into COVID year.

255
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 6: They just really haven't felt the same to me like

256
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 6: they were into twenty tens in the late two thousands.

257
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 6: They're still good, don't get me wrong, but they're just

258
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 6: not the same. I just think that any one on

259
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 6: the bottom side of that bracket, they should they could

260
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: beat any single night, every single night, fiddy.

261
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: I think there's a big drop off here where we're

262
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: talking about surprise teams with often will what to what

263
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 3: to an eight nine and which one could be to one.

264
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: I do like Ohio State's guards, but Duke's eight nine

265
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: is Ohio State TCU, Arizona's is zing over Utah State,

266
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: Michigan's is Georgia's Saint Louis who's falling off a little bit.

267
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: In Florida, it's Clemston, Iowa, Clemson, not what they were

268
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: when the year begin. It doesn't feel like to me

269
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: that on the surface, it feels like the sevens, which

270
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: are UCLA, Miami, Saint Mary's in Kentucky, the sevens are

271
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: there's a big drop off from the sevens to the eight's.

272
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: I don't think a one seed feels like they're in

273
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: trouble in the eight nines.

274
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 4: Just on paper, it.

275
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 5: Doesn't feel that way today. I think though, for people

276
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 5: that don't realize how how high scoring Georgia is, like

277
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 5: Georgia Saint Louis that's going to be first one to

278
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 5: eighty ninety one hundred, that you're gonna need a cigarette

279
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: if you watch those two teams go up and down

280
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 5: the floor, especially of Avia in the tournament.

281
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: So but I do think, I do think you're right.

282
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 5: I think you look at the sevens and I think

283
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 5: they put more fear into the twos than the eight

284
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: nines they put into the ones.

285
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: And that's I think there's been.

286
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: A difference in the sport here recently where it does

287
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: not feel like there's eight nines that are that are

288
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 5: capable of getting to the second weekend as frequently as

289
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: maybe you saw it growing up. I mean, Moore, what

290
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 5: five years have been from Carolina beating Baylor in a

291
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 5: one eight? You did have last year with Florida and Yukon.

292
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: Yukon did push Florida until about the three minute mark

293
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 5: before the gates were able to you know, put the

294
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: clamps on them and pull away for a victory. I

295
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 5: think it's a good analysis by you Bone that I

296
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: do think do I think all four ones get to

297
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 5: the final four, I don't think so do all four

298
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 5: ones make the seat of the second weekend?

299
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 4: And then answer is yes, Yeah, it kind.

300
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: Of looks like that flout or any any of the

301
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: eight to nine standout or is it feel that they

302
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: are site there might be a little drop off there

303
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: when we get to that seed line.

304
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's a drop off there. I mean

305
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 7: I do. Oh no, listen, Calen fall there's injured, right, Yeah.

306
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 7: And Ohio State strength is Bruce Thorton, the all time

307
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 7: leading scoring program history. They've got Mobley junior, They've got

308
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 7: a good backcourt. I just don't know if Ohio State's

309
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 7: gonna have not.

310
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: The size to handle it. I don't know when he

311
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: goes on boost control in the paint. I just don't

312
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't really I don't have a fear of duke

313
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 3: in Ohio State if that's the matchup. TCU is denying.

314
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: But nothing stands out to you on the eight nine line.

315
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 7: No, not anybody that I'm looking at to make any

316
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 7: sort of deep run. Not someone that I'm looking at

317
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 7: to make the second weekend. I mean, if if Clemson

318
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 7: was healthy, maybe with Carter Welling because of how spread

319
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 7: out their scoring is It wasn't something that I really

320
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 7: loved about them. I always thought they were a little

321
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 7: bit fraudulent when they got off to the start that

322
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 7: they did to begin conference play.

323
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: So I think Florida would probably be able to get

324
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 4: by them. Georgia. Georgia's probably the one.

325
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 7: Team them or Saint Louis, because both teams are incredibly

326
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 7: high scoring, and so if they end up getting into

327
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 7: a rhythm, Michigan has to keep up with it. You

328
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 7: never really but I still think Michigan will be able

329
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 7: to get past that. I'm not really feeling Villanova, Utah

330
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 7: State either one of them. The Mountain West this year

331
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 7: not nearly what it was in the past, So I

332
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 7: don't know how battle tested a team like Utah State

333
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 7: is going to be coming in.

334
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: And I mean you talked about Ohio State.

335
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 7: Are they going to be able to get past their

336
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 7: first round matchup against a team like TCU, who you know,

337
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 7: I've seen a couple of times this year coming out

338
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 7: of the Big Twelve. You're probably the most battle tested

339
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 7: of anybody coming out of that game.

340
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: Both those teams you would say are battle tested based

341
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: off the conferences that they played.

342
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 7: It right, but I don't. I don't think either one

343
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 7: of them is going to be able to get past Duke.

344
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 7: If Duke's going out, I have circled that game against

345
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 7: Saint John's.

346
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: That's because of y'all's history against them.

347
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 7: That's the one that I look at and think it's

348
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 7: probably the most interesting for Duke.

349
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: I think founder on my list here.

350
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying I'm taking that.

351
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 7: Bruce Pearl went bold enough to say they're in the

352
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 7: final four.

353
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: Going that that made me feel good about it.

354
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: It would be fun to watch zub Edge of four

355
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: and cam booz it would it would go go at

356
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: it because those are two those are two war daddies.

357
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

358
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 5: So, like like the history with Saint John's has nothing

359
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 5: to do with this matchup, but it's that coaching matchup.

360
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: Like John Shire is great Rick Patino, I think with

361
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: what he's done at Saint John's, there's an argument to me,

362
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 5: at least the best program build on the history of

363
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 5: the sport. He's the best exits and host coach I

364
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 5: think in the history of the sport.

365
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: And how motivated is that seem going to be? Getting

366
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: a five?

367
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 5: You know what the message are gonna be to that

368
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: locker room. So if we do get a Duke Saint

369
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: John's matchup that I think that'd be great for great

370
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 5: for college basketball.

371
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: Big, big difference though, between this weekend with Duke, even

372
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: though they wont smoke, you think about edge of four,

373
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: Big Pat will be back for that potential matchup, and

374
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: that's that's a massive difference in Douge.

375
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: You see.

376
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: You know, they had a good weekend in terms of

377
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 3: winning without them, but I think he's a little bit

378
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: underrated in terms of their defense and what he provides

379
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: once they get to that level of a matchup. That's huge.

380
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: By the way, Trumpy, we're gonna bring you in for

381
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: some important here.

382
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: You came in.

383
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: You had the New York butcher Shop food today. You

384
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: had flays. We had shrimp that was stuffed with crab meat.

385
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: What else we have, boys? We had tom Hawks steaks back,

386
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: we had mac and cheese. You were floating back into

387
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: the studio. How good was that food?

388
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: Troppy? Oh man, it was amazing.

389
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 8: I can feel my stomach getting heavy and my eyes

390
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 8: are getting droopy because I might be in a food coma.

391
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 8: So if I just stop pushing buttons back here, that's.

392
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're driving the boat now, so if something

393
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: goes wrong, you know, pressa press a buzzer and Smoke

394
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: will get up and try to relieve you.

395
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,399

00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 4: button for sure. All right.

Speaker 3: Thank you Shroby for all your hard work there running

Speaker 3: you by the New York Butcher Shop. When we come

400
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: back our second segment, Duke is the number one overall seed.

401
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Can they make the final four? Dot k Web Foster?

402
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: How much pressure is on to you Bert Davis in

403
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: this tournament? And we talk about State and how close

404
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: they were to not even being in the field. Sports

405
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: Radio nine in WFZ. Oh yeah, Welcome into the WFNZ

406
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: Selection Show, brought to you by the New York Butcher Stop.

407
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: It's myself t Bone with Fitty, Smoke, Flounder and Trappy

408
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: running the board right now. This will be an in

409
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: depth look here at the draws for the draws, not

410
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 3: not like the underwear, but like the you know, like

411
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: when they draw Fitty, like you know what the teams

412
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: they drew?

413
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 5: Okay with you because my draws are they're they're in

414
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: good shape right now. I'll check themck in at nine o'clock.

415
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did see you eating nineteen pounds of Maca

416
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: chiefs before we got started here. So Duke is the

417
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 3: one seed in the East. Their two seed is Yukon

418
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: the three seed as always. It seems like Michigan State

419
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 3: the three seed for the fiftieth time in my lifetime,

420
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: and I'm only forty two years old. Michigan State and

421
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: Duke may meet up in the tournament. Kansas the four,

422
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: Saint John's the five, Louisville the six, and we go

423
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: from there, Ohio State, TCU the nine. So the question

424
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: would be, we'll start with Fiddy with this draw, can

425
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: Duke make the final four? Big Pat, We'll be back.

426
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: But can they make the final four without Cable Foster?

427
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: I think there are some things to be concerned about,

428
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: but I don't know if I worry necessarily about it

429
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: being the two seed in their region. I don't think

430
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: I'm not as concerned with Yukon as I would have been.

431
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 4: In the past.

432
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we we got into a discussion. I

433
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 5: think it was on Thursday or Friday. I had you

434
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 5: yelling at me.

435
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 4: I think with that that was both days.

436
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably, I think without Foster they can they can

437
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 5: still get to a final four. You got the best

438
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 5: player in the country, you know, and Boozer is gonna

439
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 5: be the National player of the year.

440
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: Isaiah Evans, you know.

441
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 5: If he if he shoots the ball well from the outside,

442
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: they're they're gonna be They're gonna be really tough. There's

443
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: a lot of brands in this bracket. Yeah, there's a

444
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: lot of big time programs in this bracket. But Duke

445
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: is so solid defensively, they I mean, watching them play

446
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: three games three days, the rebounding is off the charts.

447
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 5: They're really impressive to get to the offensive glass.

448
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: They don't lose focus either, which is a thing you

449
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: could have if they would have lost in this tournament,

450
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: you would have said, all right, they don't seem to

451
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: ever well.

452
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: And they don't pan it.

453
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 5: Because last night when Virginia got him be thinking with

454
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 5: a six, most coaches in that moment were going to

455
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 5: call time out and John Shire just gave his team,

456
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 5: you know, just talk to him.

457
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 4: They go out there. They were boffing an eight two runs.

458
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 3: Eight to Florida State was the same thing they call

459
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: time out and boom, they took the lead back.

460
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 5: So no, I as much as I'd love to write

461
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: them out, i'd love to be able to put you

462
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 5: know e Conners Saint John's in the final four over them.

463
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: I still think Duke gets to the Final four without Foster,

464
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: but as you hear coaches talking about all the time,

465
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 5: getting there and winning the final four are two different things.

466
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 5: And I don't think Foster's coming back. I do think

467
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 5: he's not going to come back even they get to Indianapolis,

468
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 5: and I think at some point that we'll come back

469
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: to bite them.

470
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: D C is the home for the Sweet sixteen and

471
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: the lead eight in the twenty nineteen.

472
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 4: Far drive from machine work for fans. No Michigan.

473
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to do it, didn't You had to

474
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 3: do it in twenty nineteen. Smoked that Zion team lost

475
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: to Michigan State in DC. That's one of the more

476
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: disappointing Dukee loosses of recent memory. I will ask you this, smoking,

477
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 3: though we're talking a lot about Saint John's, we're not

478
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: talking about Kansas at all. I don't I'm not huge

479
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 3: on Kansas per se, but there's no guarantee that it

480
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: is Saint John's against due because you can't also overlook

481
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: Kansas either, especially at Peterson's locked in.

482
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the main key.

483
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 6: It's if Darreon Peterson's locked In is actually playing for

484
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 6: all these games. I mean, they're gonna play like a

485
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 6: two seed in my opinion, not a four seed. But

486
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 6: the problem is the star power outside of Darreon, Peterson's

487
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: not as big outside of the NC State Game Council,

488
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 6: can't shoot the ball as consistently from behind the arc.

489
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 6: So it's just one of those things where it feels

490
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 6: like Kansas is a good team but not a great team.

491
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: But you never know.

492
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 6: You got Bill Self, one of the best coaches in

493
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 6: all of college basketball, on your sidelines. You're always going

494
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 6: to have a chance as long as you have a

495
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: good enough team. And these Kansas teams are better than

496
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: the teams that they had immediately following that national championship

497
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 6: in like twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, so

498
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 6: I don't think you can count them out.

499
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: The main problem is you got to go.

500
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 6: Kansas has to go against Sint John's, and right now,

501
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: if I had to pick between Saint John's and Kansas,

502
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: I'm taking Saint John's ninety nine times out of one hundred.

503
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 6: Just with the way that that team is playing together

504
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 6: as a unit from top to bottom. The cohesion for

505
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 6: that team has been one of the best in the

506
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 6: entire nation. And even though Kansas has such a talented squad,

507
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: I'm not really that scared of them. I mean, you know,

508
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 6: people were talking down on the Carolina's Harhills right now

509
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 6: with the injuries and how things ended the regular season,

510
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 6: But you gotta remember Carolina beat Kansas handedly with Darren

511
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 6: Peterson out there early in the year.

512
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 4: So I do want to mention that. So that's kind

513
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 4: of the top to.

514
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: Be Kansas without Peterson, just just for the sake of

515
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: what you're saying.

516
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, so I do want to mention that too,

517
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: that there are some flaws in this Kansas team. They

518
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 6: have been playing better lately, but outside of the NC

519
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 6: State when the other two teams in the state of

520
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 6: North Carolina took it too to Jayhawks.

521
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: Funder am I wrong to think that as a Duke

522
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: fan that the five seed may actually worry me more

523
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: than the two of the three and the four in

524
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: this region, which is Yukon, Michigan State and Kansas I'm

525
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 3: more afraid of. When I say afraid, I don't mean

526
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: like I'm with a sleep. But Michigan State would only

527
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: be because of the past, and they've done it before.

528
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: They always seem to meet up. Duke beat them the

529
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: last time they were playing. I believe in one of

530
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: these I've lost track of Duke of Michigan's history here,

531
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 3: but I don't really have much fear of those Yukon

532
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: Kansas Michigan State teams. What are your thoughts on Duke

533
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: Straw and where there are some pitfalls here?

534
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the pitfall to me is Sig John's.

535
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 7: That's the one that I think you look at just

536
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 7: because of what we've seen from this Saint John's crew

537
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 7: at certain times this year when they've been playing their

538
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 7: best basketball. They really are a team that's worthy of

539
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 7: being at least on the two line. We haven't gotten that.

540
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 7: We've got a five seed for them, but I do

541
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 7: think when you look at it, I mean edge of four,

542
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 7: that's gonna be an interesting matchup inside against Boozer. That's

543
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 7: what I think would be entertaining. Now, that's what that's

544
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 7: that's where because they lack the side that Duke has

545
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 7: it would be interesting to watch those two teams match up. Now,

546
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 7: what Saint John's is gonna want to do. They're gonna

547
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 7: want to play the game on the perimeter. So is

548
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 7: Boozer gonna be able to handle himself out there on

549
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 7: the perimeter for the entire game.

550
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 4: We'd have to wait and see.

551
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: But judging off of what we've seen so far this

552
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 7: year from him, you feel pretty decent. I think one

553
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 7: thing that you saw in the last two nights that

554
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 7: really has you start feeling like Duke has a chance

555
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 7: to make a run to a national title even without Foster,

556
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 7: is you you saw what the potential can be for

557
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 7: Caden Boozer.

558
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: Now, is that gonna be the guy that we're gonna

559
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: see for most of March.

560
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 7: You don't needed to be that guy in every single game,

561
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 7: but for most of these games, you're gonna need him

562
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 7: to put up that type of performance. If he can

563
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: be that guy, then I think you've got a chance

564
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 7: to make it.

565
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 4: To the final four.

566
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 7: And I think if he plays that way in the

567
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 7: final four, they could be a team that cuts down

568
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 7: the nets. When it's all said and done, it's just

569
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 7: a matter of who they match up with. Ultimately when

570
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: they get there. But you're right, I look at the

571
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 7: rest of this for all this bracket, and I mean, look,

572
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 7: Michigan State's not even gonna make it to the second

573
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 7: week out.

574
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 4: Michigan State Kansas already this year.

575
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 7: I think Michigan State's going to be out. I think

576
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 7: South Florida is going to make it to the Sweet sixteen.

577
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 7: I really like that team everything that I've seen from them.

578
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 7: You got eyes on them in the American Conference Championship

579
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 7: game today. I think they are a really, really talented

580
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 7: team that's going to cause some issues to Louisville. And

581
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 7: then I think make It can drive Michigan State a

582
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 7: little crazy with how well they can rebound.

583
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 4: And then Yukon. Yukon's just a weird team, right.

584
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 7: The history of Dan Hurley wouldn't make you believe that

585
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 7: maybe they have a chance. But I don't know, man,

586
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 7: I'm not feeling them as much as I've felt them

587
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: in years past coming into the tournament.

588
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 3: Here's the number about Duke when you're looking all these matchups,

589
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 3: and we have to remember how battle tested they are

590
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: as well. This year, Duke finished the season the regular

591
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 3: season after yesterday with seventeen quad one wins. That's almost

592
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 3: historically the most ever during this format. Seventeen quad one wins,

593
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: including three quad ones just off the eye test alone

594
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: here eyesight alone, Louisville, Michigan State, and yeah they have

595
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: three just in that region alone.

596
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: So Saint John's is good.

597
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 3: But Duke has seen a lot of good teams all

598
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: year and entered the bell against those teams.

599
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 6: And I will say big big ups for John Shire

600
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: for scheduling these games, and hopefully this is the start

601
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 6: of him just doing us every single year no matter what.

602
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: There's a reason why that Michigan game was played in DC. Also,

603
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: they wanted to look at that whole venue.

604
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 6: Well they gotched the balls too, like they were playing

605
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 6: with the Wilson balls. So I think that was a

606
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 6: big part of that game as well, which to get

607
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 6: ready to what they do in the NCAA.

608
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: All right, Fitty, you went, c is a sixth seed

609
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 3: and they're playing in the region where we make sure

610
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: I got it right here. They are playing in the

611
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 3: region where Florida is the one, the Houston, the two,

612
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: the ALIGNI, the three, Nebraska, the four, Vandy, the five,

613
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: which you could almost make the case Vandy misseated a

614
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: little underseated, but you win. See gets VCU the A

615
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 3: ten champs in the six to eleven game. The tournament

616
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: director came on CBS before our show began. It said

617
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: VCU had to win the A ten to get in.

618
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: But yet you're seeing them at a nod playing situation

619
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: here they're actually in playing you guys, what's your thoughts

620
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: on VCU? And really you went CS draw as a hole.

621
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you Look at VCU, they're one of

622
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 5: the hottest teams in the field entering the bracket.

623
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: They've won sixteen of seventeen.

624
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 5: But if what the selection committee chairman said is factuable,

625
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 5: they shouldn't be here. They should be in Dayton playing

626
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 5: in a playing game on Tuesday or on Wednesday.

627
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 4: But that's besides the point. I think.

628
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: You know, look, this is a program that's not a

629
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 5: stranger to playing in the tournament. This is not a

630
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 5: program that's a stranger to winning games in the tournament.

631
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 5: And they're not a stranger to beating blue bloods in

632
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 5: the tournament. Look at what they did to Duke back

633
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 5: in two thousand and seven, what they did on their

634
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 5: run to the final four back in twenty eleven, and

635
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 5: even since then they haven't had the Final four moment.

636
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: But this is a consistent program that competes it won't

637
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: be afraid of the stage. I think it helps Carolina

638
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 5: that this game is in Greenville. That's the same place

639
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: where Carolina started their run in twenty seventeen on their

640
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 5: way to the National Championship. We've seen how different this

641
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: team has been away from home, talking about four and

642
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 5: six on the road, two and two on neutrals. They're

643
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: gonna need Carolina fans to show up and show out,

644
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: I think in a big way on Thursday. But I

645
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: don't see a second weekend in the path for Carolina.

646
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: I think they can get by VCU.

647
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 5: I'd be extreme disappointed if they did not, And if

648
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 5: they were to lose that game. I think the Hubert

649
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 5: Davis conversation we had on Friday gets turned up even

650
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: more so Illinois. I think it was the worst matchup

651
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 5: for Carolina. Supposedly, pfishent offense in the country. They wake

652
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 5: up if they score eighty ninety points in their sleep,

653
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: and I don't know if Carolina, with doubt Caleb Wilson

654
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: is equipped to match them point for point.

655
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: They were able to.

656
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 5: Have some high scoring games, or the scored eighty nine

657
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: against Virginia Tech. They had some moments where they were

658
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 5: able to play real high efficient offense. But I look

659
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 5: at that matchup and I would trust Illinois's backcorep more

660
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 5: than I trust Carolina's. And that's what wins this time

661
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: of the more often than not.

662
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: No great, great points there, and I'll say they smoke on.

663
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: When we take a step back and we look at

664
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: you know, we get the bracket, we're ah, then we

665
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: kind of take a measured approach back, have a few

666
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: minutes and look at this bracket, Fitty as well. Here

667
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: what a coaching bracket this is because Todd Golden's the one,

668
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 3: Calvin Sampson's the two, Underwood, the three Hoiberg who did

669
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: an unbelievable job to four Bindington to five at Vanderbilt.

670
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: The sixth seed in that bracket is Hubert Davis, obviously,

671
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: But then even down the line, you've got Brunnell, You've

672
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: got Bucky McMillan at time to A and M. You've

673
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: got Randy Bennett. Hell, you've got Frean McCaffrey. The four

674
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: that is smoke a heck of a region of coaches

675
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: up and down the line. There there's gonna be some

676
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: unreal coaching matchups all through the East region.

677
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 6: Well heck, and even the apple doesn't far fall far

678
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 6: from the tree for UNC's opponents with VCU, because they're

679
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 6: being coached by Phil Martelli Junr. The son of Phil

680
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 6: Martelli Senior, who was the legendary coach at Saint Joe's

681
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 6: that made the Elite eight with Jamiir Nelson back in

682
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 6: two thousand and four.

683
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 4: And this is his first year.

684
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 6: And luckily for VCU, Martelli Junior was the head coach

685
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 6: at Bryant last year when they made d NCAA tournaments.

686
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: Who this is not his first dance at the rodeo,

687
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 6: so in my opinion, I think.

688
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: Hold on the first dance at this Sorry, I was

689
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: like all something like that. Now was a guy that

690
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: don't you don't dance at rodeos last time I checked

691
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: as the guy that they're playing on a minute, as

692
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: the guy that mangles many a good metaphorm myself here

693
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 3: dance at the rodeo.

694
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 4: I got. I think it's good. I think it counts.

695
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: I was like blue though I was rolling, So.

696
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 6: I just I think this is gonna be a big

697
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 6: battle and you can't look at Thank you very much

698
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: for looking at my mess ups from earlier in the week,

699
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 6: But I also think that this VCU team has been

700
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 6: battles tests and do you go back and look at

701
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 6: their non con play. They played a lot of teams

702
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 6: that are Indian Tournament. They only lost in three points

703
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 6: to Utah State. They were in a tough, drag out

704
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 6: brawl against NC State and they only lost by six.

705
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 6: They lost by fifteen to Vandy, but they also beat

706
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 6: South Florida, who Flounders just said, is he thinks he's

707
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 6: gonna make the Sweet sixteen and beat Michigan State. And

708
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 6: this isn't like one of those Michigan State teams where

709
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 6: it feels like they kind of slugged into d NCAA tournament. No,

710
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 6: this is a damn good Michigan State team. So I

711
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 6: don't think that you can underrate VCU in this situation.

712
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 6: And the problem is with North Carolina now that Caleb

713
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 6: Wilson is not in the lineup, I don't know what

714
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 6: type of team we're getting night to night. That's the problem,

715
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: because you could get the UNC team that we saw. Heck,

716
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 6: even half to half because the UNC team that we

717
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: saw on Thursday night first half and basically first twenty

718
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 6: or ten minutes of the second half was just lack

719
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: of the awful and just ready to get out of Charlotte.

720
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 6: But in the last five to ten minutes of that game,

721
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 6: UNC look like a different team entirely. So that's the

722
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 6: main problem I have with you and see it is

723
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 6: I just don't know what team you're gonna get from

724
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 6: ninth to night, and it really depends on two guys,

725
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: in particular, three guys in my opinion, theysar has to

726
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: play more consistently. Dixon if he has a shot going down,

727
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 6: that's very big, and Seth Tremble just has to realize

728
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 6: he's going to have to drive to the basket because

729
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 6: when he's been at his best this year, specifically ever

730
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 6: since Cale Wilson got hurt, it's when he's been driving

731
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 6: to the basket, not laying up for three pointers that

732
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 6: he's going to hit off the back iron.

733
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: Founder Illinois is second in the nation and Camp Palman offense,

734
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: So that's something to keep in mind if UNC gets

735
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: to that game with VCU. Your thoughts on the draw

736
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: and really the amount of pressure that you think is

737
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: on Hubert Davis in this tournament that uh Fitty alluded to,

738
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: I forget sure, Yeah, I've got I've got so many

739
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: men around me in the morning, that's it. His face

740
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: usually usually sitting over there.

741
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 7: Look, I think is a matchup that you kind of

742
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: like if you're Carolina. I mean they're leading rebound or

743
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 7: average is five point four rebounds per game. They're not

744
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 7: a great rebounding team, so for Carolina, that certainly is

745
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 7: something that helps. They're a team that a lot of

746
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 7: different teams attack on the interior.

747
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: I think that certainly is.

748
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 7: Something that Carolina will like about this matchup because you're

749
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 7: hoping if you're Carolina that you can get set tremble downhill.

750
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 7: You can get maybe a guy like Luca Bogavots. I

751
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 7: don't know what you want to do with him. I mean,

752
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 7: I'd like to say grant to the basket because I

753
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 7: don't trust them to be able to make shots from

754
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 7: the outside.

755
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: But I mean, that's that's really the guy that's the

756
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 4: key for Carolina.

757
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 7: Man, if they're gonna make any sort of run, Luca

758
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 7: Bogabots has to be somewhat solid. Because he did absolutely

759
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 7: nothing the other night against Clemson and it really cost them.

760
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 7: So I think he's gonna be very important. This is

761
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 7: It can go one or two ways for Carolina. They

762
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 7: could be out on the first night and you're sitting

763
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 7: back and saying to yourself, Yeah, they just not a

764
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 7: good effort.

765
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 4: It is what it is.

766
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 7: We're back where we were with Hubert Davis being on

767
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 7: the hot seat.

768
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 4: You never even know.

769
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 7: There could be enough frustration where the moves made this offseason.

770
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 7: Who knows, depending on how bad it actually looks, or

771
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 7: this could be a team that makes it to the

772
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 7: sweet sixteen because they get the break Illinois.

773
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: I get it, man.

774
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 7: Everything would tell you that Illinois is gonna make a

775
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 7: run because of what they are offensively. We've seen Illinois

776
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 7: before when they've made the NCAA tournament, though they're one

777
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 7: of those programs that seems to fracture when they get

778
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 7: to this point in the field in the tournament. So

779
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 7: I think there's a chance that Carolina could beat them.

780
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 7: I mean, you look at the other three seeds. Maybe

781
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 7: you wanted Gonzaga a little bit more, but I wanted absolutely.

782
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: No part of playing Michigan State again. Michigan State beat.

783
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 7: You earlier in the year, their physicality on the inside

784
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 7: would hurt you. And I think the same thing with Virginia.

785
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 7: Remember you beat them, but you beat them with Caleb Wilson,

786
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 7: and they weren't gonna put Virginia in your bracket. They

787
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 7: weren't gonna have two ACC teams meeting the round of

788
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 7: thirty two. So yeah, I think it's probably the best

789
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 7: you could hope for. But it's gonna be a tough.

790
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: Matchup, all right, Quadie, We're gonna do on this really

791
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: quick and get into it more than next segment. But

792
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: the thing that really shocked us all was how close

793
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: the NC State Wolfpack really were to not making this thing.

794
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 3: They end up in Dayton on Tuesday, then if they

795
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: win that game, they have to travel to Portland for

796
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: a Thursday game and take on DEBATSA and BYU, who's

797
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: not exactly the same right now. But I don't know

798
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: if that's something you want to sign up for. On

799
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 3: a quick turnaround, your thoughts on State and how close

800
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 3: they were more than we thought not even playing in

801
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: this thing.

802
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that leads me to something I wanted to work

803
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 5: in here really quickly. Did not expect to see State

804
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 5: and Dayton. I knew State well they lost with six

805
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 5: of eight, seven to nine two in the regular season,

806
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 5: what they did in Charlotte not playing at the highest level,

807
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 5: but you know how they ended up getting there. You

808
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 5: had Miami Ohio not win their conference tournament, and the

809
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 5: West Coast Conference became a three bid league with Santa

810
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 5: Clara getting in, and it took us forty minutes.

811
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: It took us forty minutes to get here.

812
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 5: I do want to commend this committee for not caving

813
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 5: and playing a seventeen and fifteen Auburn team in over

814
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 5: Miami Ohio or Oklahoma, or leaving a team like Santa Clara,

815
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 5: who was I think twenty seven and seven out of

816
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 5: the field that they were top forty and virtually every

817
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 5: major metric going into selection Sunday. That's why I think

818
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 5: they backed up into the last or to a play

819
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 5: in game. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I

820
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 5: do think a back season slide, combined with the emergence

821
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 5: of Akron winning the MAC Santa Clara getting that win

822
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 5: over Saint Mary's to make that conference a three bid

823
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 5: league has will weighed in the Woolf Pack in a

824
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 5: really tough situation as you mentioned, to play a game

825
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 5: on Tuesday and then fly all the way to the

826
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 5: West Coast and play a game on Thursday. It's hard

827
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 5: to envision this team getting passed around to sixty.

828
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: Four smoking Founder hold that fall we come.

829
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: I wanted you guys to react to your thoughts on

830
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: NC State and the other ACC schools and their first

831
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: round opponents and potentially beyond Queen's is dancing for the

832
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 3: first time ever. We'll talk about their matchup with Purdue

833
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: and High Point is back in again. Last year we

834
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: all bought in that they could pull the first round

835
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: up set. Are we doing it again? With Wisconsin Sports

Speaker 4: last year trying to get I'm sorry you're on blust.

867
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 5: He hosted the show last year. People are wondering where

868
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 5: he's at. He's actually at the New York Butcher's learning

869
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: how to make meets, aren't try Come on.

870
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: Man, damn yo, Wow, that's messed up by what I was.

871
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 3: What I was trying to do, flounder, was I was

872
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: trying to find trying to get to you finally about

873
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: NC State, their path here and their draw and in

874
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 3: the shocking revelation that they their name almost wasn't called here.

875
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 4: Oh you hate to see it. Uh, they were a

876
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 4: team that was So I'm trying to.

877
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 7: Figure out what exactly is going on with the NCAA

878
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 7: tournament field because the last team in the tournament field,

879
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 7: according to the seedings that were released by Jeff Borzello

880
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 7: of ESPN, they say Miami of Ohio was the last

881
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 7: team in.

882
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 4: The chairman said, no, that's not at all true.

883
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 7: They were the Uh they were the last team or

884
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 7: the first team that wasn't in the actual field. So

885
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 7: who knows what's going on. I don't know where State

886
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 7: ranked amongst these teams. But this is the problem with

887
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 7: the games that they were losing Towards the end of

888
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 7: the year. They were losing two teams that were just

889
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 7: so bad that it got you thinking going into the

890
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 7: NCAA tournament selection process, which team is actually gonna show up?

891
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 7: Is it gonna be a team that got beat by

892
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 7: notre name. Is it gonna be a team that got

893
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 7: beat by Georgia Tech earlier in the season. Those are

894
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 7: teams that you should not be getting beat by Texas. Honestly,

895
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 7: they're not very Yeah, I would think that they're gonna

896
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 7: be Texas. I think they should get through that matchup,

897
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 7: But then they're gonna potentially get BYU. That's gonna be

898
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 7: a really interesting matchup against those two sides, because I

899
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 7: don't think BYU is in their best form by any

900
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 7: stretch of the imagination. So I could see, Look, I

901
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 7: could see NC State making it out of the round

902
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 7: of sixty four, But at the same time, I could

903
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 7: see them losing to Texas in Dayton because they've they've

904
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 7: lost some games that have just left you scratching your

905
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 7: head down the stretch here. So, yeah, what team are

906
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 7: you getting I think is gonna be important. What Darien

907
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 7: Williams are you getting too? Is also going to be

908
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 7: very important for NZI State.

909
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: Smoke before I get to you with NCT I want

910
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 3: to address a text here from Myron Goodman. He says,

911
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 3: this is a much better show than the guys that

912
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 3: did it last year. Fiddy, who are the guys that

913
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: didn't last year?

914
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 5: It was Willie and me and you yourself and myself.

915
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 3: We know who he's going after. Yeah, all right, Well

916
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: I took it a little personal there on that one.

917
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 3: Myron Goodman, U smoke your thoughts on NC State before

918
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: you get to Miami, Virginia, louis Ville and Clemson.

919
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 6: Well, in my opinion, I agree with a lot of

920
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 6: what both Fiddy and Flounders said in this situation. You

921
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 6: don't like I said, we don't know what un CU

922
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 6: team were getting most nights or in between halves ever

923
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 6: since Cale Wilson got hurt. I just don't know what

924
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 6: NC State team were getting period. Because, let's face it,

925
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 6: Darian Williams turned out to be a lemon. He has

926
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 6: been too inconsistent. You could tell that will Wade wants

927
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 6: I'm out of there. He's counting down the days until

928
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 6: he doesn't have to deal with his behind anymore. That's

929
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 6: how much he can't stand him. But I do think

930
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 6: they can get past Texas because if you go to

931
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 6: Kim Palm and they're the Palm Roy stats, you know,

932
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 6: defensive efficiency. They're both good. Offensively, Texas, I believe is

933
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 6: technically some better. Yeah, Texas is thirteenth and Kim Palm offensively.

934
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 6: State is twentieth offensively, but here's the difference. State is

935
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 6: eighty six, which is not good. But Texas won twelve.

936
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 6: So I do think this is one of those scenarios

937
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 6: that if State plays like they did, let's say against Pitt,

938
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 6: they should win. My problem is having to go all

939
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 6: the way from Dayton, Ohio to Portland, Oregon, and depending

940
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 6: on when they played Thursday, because we still don't know

941
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 6: what time, you.

942
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 4: Would hope that you would hope that's a night game,

943
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 4: you would hope.

944
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 6: So especially considered a team to be playing would be BYU,

945
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 6: which is a West Coast team. But in my opinion,

946
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 6: even though I've seen BYU play horrendously down the stretch,

947
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 6: I remember watching that game where Johnny Dawkins had Central

948
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 6: Florida up nearly forty on them at one point in provo,

949
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 6: I still feel like this is a situation where aj

950
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 6: Debounce's talent gets them over at least in this round.

951
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: Also, the potential problem for BYU in Texas and State

952
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 3: and those teams. Gonzaga is the three out there. Good

953
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: luck playing that out there in Portland, Oregon. Also, by

954
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: the way, ill your their ability to travel, queens will

955
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: play per new. I think we all want queens to

956
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: do well, but I don't think anyone's gonna sit here

957
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 3: and think that Queen's. The way Purdue is playing right

958
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 3: now can do much. Granton Letter on the Back and

959
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 3: Bone Show tomorrow, eight twenty five. High Point Fitty became

960
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 3: a darling last year for a lot of people. Played

961
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: Purdue got smacked down. Now they play another Big Ten

962
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: team in Wisconsin in the five twelve. Are we buying

963
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 3: into high Point again? Or is Wisconsin and those guards

964
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 3: right now? Does it feel like that's too much for

965
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 3: high Point?

966
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 4: I'd love to. I think it'd be a great storyline.

967
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 5: It's on that seed line where you see twelve will

968
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 5: usually push a five to the brink every single year.

969
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 5: But if you watch Wisconsin yesterday against Michigan, and we

970
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 5: know Michigan lost today in the Big Ten Final to Purdue,

971
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 5: they almost lost yesterday to Wisconsin, who was able to

972
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: erase a double digit deficit in three minutes because of

973
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 5: the Australian main Austin Rapp hit five straight threes and

974
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 5: then that's not even kind of as you mentioned their

975
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 5: guards that are really really good, and I think what

976
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 5: Greg Gard has done since he's taken over there for Ryan,

977
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 5: are they as consistently near the top of the regular

978
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 5: season stuff as they were at the back end of

979
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 5: Ryan's tenure there, No, they are not, but they've rounded

980
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 5: into four more years when they get to March. They're

981
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 5: a team that you don't want to match up well against.

982
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 5: They're old as hell, they've got tough shot makers, they

983
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 5: got the ability to play five out offense, They've got

984
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 5: size their battles as are playing through the Big ten.

985
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 5: I think hy Point can play with them for twenty

986
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 5: five to thirty minutes. But I think Wisconsin has eventually

987
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 5: move on because the Badgers have Sweet sixteen potential Retten

988
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 5: all over them.

989
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: I love Wisconsin Arkansas entering this tournament and that could

990
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 3: be a potential second round matchup.

991
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 4: So it's unreal.

992
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 3: Flattery about thirty seconds on this question there, and then

993
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 3: we'll go around and then we'll send it to the break.

994
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 3: It ready for hour number two Clemston an eight seed

995
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 3: in the South, Virginia three in the Midwest, Miami is

996
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 3: a seven in the Miami is a seven and in

997
00:44:54,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: the West, and Wouisville is a six seed in the

998
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: in the East. Who's draw do you like the most

999
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 3: for those A SEC teams and who do you worry

1000
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: about the most of that grouping?

1001
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 7: I love Virginia. I think there's a chance that they

1002
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 7: can get to the Elite eight. I'd have to really

1003
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 7: think a little bit more about that matchup with the

1004
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 7: Iowa State.

1005
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 4: Miami's I kind of like as well. I hate Louisville's.

1006
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 7: I think Louisville out As I said, I think they

1007
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 7: are gonna get absolutely destroyed on the glass by South

1008
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 7: Florida and that will be the difference in that game.

1009
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 3: So smoke, who I know you love Miami to the

1010
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: Elite eight? Who else do you think can go far?

1011
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 3: And who do you worry about those of those other

1012
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 3: non tobacco road a CC teams.

1013
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but Louisville,

1014
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: they just got an awful, awful Like I told you

1015
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 6: bone when we were watching the selection show, it felt

1016
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 6: like this year Louisville kind of was stagnant this year.

1017
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 6: In year two, Pack Kelsing not to say that's bad,

1018
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 6: but everyone, it felt like in the ACC got better,

1019
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 6: while Pack Helsey and Louisville just were about the same.

1020
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 6: And that's the problem if you're one when you got

1021
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 6: so many guys into transfer and basically all of them

1022
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 6: graduate that that's a tough break for them.

1023
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 4: And you know MIKEL.

1024
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 6: Brown, like, how effective is he going to be considering

1025
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 6: he missed the ACC tournament. That's a question you've got

1026
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 6: to ask yourself when you are a six seed, and

1027
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 6: you can't really kind of ease yourself into it.

1028
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: But I do in a weird way. I think Clemson's

1029
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 4: gonna be Iowa.

1030
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 6: It just feels like one of those matchups with both

1031
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 6: teams that you're just gonna have to grind to win out.

1032
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 4: And put that at nine thirty at night, please for.

1033
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, maybe we're not a gambling show, but

1034
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 6: maybe take the under on Matt matchup. But I think,

1035
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 6: you know, Clemson, they have a chance to win a

1036
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 6: NCAA tournament game, which I think would be big for them. Unfortunately,

1037
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 6: if they do win that, they're likely going to play

1038
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 6: Florida and they're gonna get their butts whips. So I

1039
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 6: think it'll be a lot, a lot like the a

1040
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 6: SEC tournament for them. Uh, but you know, I'm a

1041
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 6: big fan of Miami. Have them in the Elite eight Virginia.

1042
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 6: As as Flounders said, I'm gonna agree with him. They

1043
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 6: feel like a Sweet sixteen team. It's just a lot

1044
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 6: of a lot of stuff's gonna have to happen for

1045
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 6: me to be fully confident and then beat in Iowa State.

1046
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: Uh, Fitty, we're not a gambling show. I wasn't aware

1047
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: of that when I was betting on most of the

1048
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 3: IVY League tournament games. For that's I don't want to

1049
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 3: come out and say that people think highly of me.

1050
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 3: So if I tell you, if I tell you, guys,

1051
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: I was watching a lot of IVY League games on

1052
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 3: Friday night this year.

1053
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 4: I just want to be smart.

1054
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 3: Might think I'm a loser, but I gotta admit I

1055
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 3: was on the IVY League this year.

1056
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 4: Well what do you think I was doing? We don't

1057
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 4: want to know.

1058
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 9: Honestly, Well, I was gonna watching a lot of IVY

1059
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 9: League really real, real quick, Fitty, your thoughts on the

1060
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 9: other ACC teams in this draw like you don't like.

1061
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know you're looking.

1062
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 5: Let me trying to find Louisville right here on my bracket.

1063
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 5: I them in South Florida is gonna be interesting. I

1064
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 5: think South Florida's gonna be a trendy upset pick. It

1065
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 5: comes down to, first off, how healthy is Brown Junior?

1066
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 5: How how how good is he gonna be ready to go?

1067
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 5: And can Ryan Conwell mcneeli and those guys gonna make

1068
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 5: shots from the outside. If they do, they can shoot

1069
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 5: their way to at least the second round of the

1070
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 5: n c DOUAA tournament. You look at Miami, that's seven ten.

1071
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 5: I would have them get by Missouri, but that's basically

1072
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 5: the game's gonna be in Missouri's backyard because that game

1073
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 5: is gonna be played in Saint Louis. But if Miami

1074
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 5: is a team that we think they are, and then

1075
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 5: we all believe that they are underseated, undervalued, that should

1076
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 5: be a game that they should win. And then I

1077
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,479
Speaker 5: have Virginia getting to this week sixteen. I think they'll

1078
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 5: get by the fourteen of Wright State. I like them

1079
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 5: against Tennessee, who I think will win the six to

1080
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 5: eleven matchups, so I think you'll have at least two

1081
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 5: teams for sure in the second weekend, which is I

1082
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: think a step in the right direction for the ACC.

1083
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 5: But we know how the reputation of this conference it

1084
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 5: depends on the two schools on Tobacco Road, and there's

1085
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 5: been one team that's been carrying the banner the way

1086
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 5: they've been supposed to post Coach k the other team

1087
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 5: has to start doing their part for this lead to

1088
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,480

1097
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,759

1116
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: meals we've ever had. So much so we're talking about

1117

1120
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 3: shorehouse right exactly so. Our thanks to the New York

1121
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 3: Butcher Shop, QUADSI we're gonna do two regions here. We're

1122
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 3: gonna do Duke in the East and the South here

1123
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: UNC's region here. How do you think Duke's draw lines

1124
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 3: up for them to get to a final four? In

1125
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 3: full disclosure shocking news. I don't want to spoil it,

1126
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 3: but I may have do going to the final four

1127
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 3: in this region. I don't want, don't don't, don't, don't.

1128
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 3: Don't spoil anything here doing the show.

1129
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was interested to see what their drawl would

1130
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 5: look like as them being the number one overall seed,

1131
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 5: and I do think they've got a more favorable drawl

1132
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 5: than not. I don't think this team will be pushed

1133
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 5: the first weekend. I think they get by Sienna rather

1134
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 5: easily in that one sixteen. I've got them going up

1135
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 5: against the Ohio State in the round of thirty two.

1136
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 5: I think they get by the buck Eyes in that matchup.

1137
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 5: The sweet sixteen could be the hardest, their hardest game,

1138
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 5: if the Johnny's, if the Red Storm. They get to

1139
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 5: the second weekend, I think they match up well with them.

1140
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 5: Their physical, they full court press, they do a lot

1141
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 5: of things, and I thought that we saw that from

1142
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 5: Virginia last night. That's the most full court press I've

1143
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 5: seen the Who's play all year and a lot of

1144
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 5: impact in the game. That could be where not having

1145
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 5: Caleb Foster could really impact them in a major way.

1146
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 5: With that being said, I think I think Duke is

1147
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 5: getting to Indianapolis. I think they're gonna get to a

1148
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 5: second straight Final four under John Shi or thirty lead

1149
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 5: eight under Johnshire. But you know, as will be the

1150
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 5: theme that you hear the ANTSI Dukers say when they're

1151
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 5: pulling out their brackets. You can get to a final

1152
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 5: four without great guard play. You can't win a final

1153
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 5: four without great guard playing. Canaan Booster was was good

1154
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 5: last night.

1155
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 3: He's got better by the game as he got for

1156
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 3: his confidence level.

1157
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 5: But I don't know how much that will translate on

1158
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 5: neutral courts once you get away from you know, home home,

1159
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 5: homegrown crowds. So I do think the Blue Devils, though,

1160
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 5: do at least get back to the Final four.

1161
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: Smoke, what's your your thoughts on the East and Dukes

1162
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 3: Uh Duke's side of the bracket.

1163
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 6: There, Well, honestly, I'm I feel like the Sweet sixteen matchup.

1164
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 6: I agree with Fiddie, that's going to be the toughest matchup.

1165
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 6: I'm more afraid of Saint John's than Michigan State and

1166
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 6: Yukon honestly combined. You know, they they already took on

1167
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 6: Michigan State and beat them in East Lansing, and I

1168
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 6: think they're playing better in the Michigan State that is

1169
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 6: playing better in December than they're playing right now. So

1170
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 6: in my opinion, it just feels like if you can

1171
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 6: get past Saint John's, you can do anything into East Region.

1172
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 6: But that's gonna be a lot easier said than done,

1173
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 6: because you know, you look at John shire short history

1174
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 6: as a head coach. When he has gotten taken advantage

1175
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 6: of who's it been against. It's been against some of

1176
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 6: the best coaches in college basketball today. Last year it

1177
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 6: was against Calvin Samson, who's a legend and one of

1178
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 6: the best coaches to never win a national title. Could

1179
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 6: see him again in the final four, could see him

1180
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 6: again potentially, Yeah, in his first year. Who's the one

1181
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 6: that took advantage of him. It was Rick Barnes and

1182
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 6: a rough, tough Tennessee team. You know, Rick Barnes has

1183
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 6: been a coach in basketball for a long long time,

1184
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 6: so it's been some of the best and then Kevin

1185
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 6: keats for some reason. Uh So, I just think that's

1186
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 6: one of the weird things about this era, that's we

1187
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 6: usually the great coaches have been one of the only

1188
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 6: ones to really stop John Shire and Rick Petuno is

1189
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 6: one of the all time great, if not one of it,

1190
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 6: like top two, top three coaches of all time. Because

1191
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 6: we always talk about Rick Petuno now, so what if

1192
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 6: what if he didn't go to d NBA at the

1193
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 6: first time, what if he didn't go to Boston in

1194
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 6: the late nineties and stayed at Kentucky, we could be

1195
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 6: talking about a coach that's, you know, got the same

1196
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 6: amount of resume in terms of national titles as coach

1197
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 6: k if we're being honest. So that's what has me scared,

1198
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 6: is because Rick Patino ain't no joking, even though he's

1199
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 6: pushing eighty or right at eighty, he's still winning at

1200
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 6: a very high level.

1201
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 4: Five of your thoughts on Duke's region as a whole.

1202
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, look, it's definitely one that I think

1203
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 7: provides some tests, especially with Saint John's. I think that's

1204
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 7: the one that you're probably circling on your calendar and

1205
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 7: looking at as probably the most.

1206
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 4: Fearful if you're a Duke fan.

1207
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 7: But you know, when you get to the bottom part

1208
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 7: of the bracket, you start talking about Michigan State. I

1209
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 7: already said I think Michigan State gets taken out by

1210
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 7: South Florida. Really like South Florida to make a run,

1211
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 7: but Michigan State, I mean, if they do match up

1212
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 7: against him. One of the things that's interesting is their

1213
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 7: inside presence that they have with as many guys as

1214
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 7: they'll rotate down.

1215
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 4: Low there could test Duke a little bit there. Yukon.

1216
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 4: I'm just not.

1217
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 7: Feeling Yukon coming into this tournament. Man, It's just not

1218
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 7: the same as it's been in a year's past, where

1219
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 7: you knew that team was bound to make some sort

1220
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 7: of run. Now they've got you talked about legendary coaches.

1221
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 7: Dan Hurley certainly is a guy that's getting himself into

1222
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 7: that conversation, and so yeah, maybe that ultimately ends up

1223
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 7: being something that stands in the way for Duke. But

1224
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 7: I think as long as they get past that matchup

1225
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 7: with Saint John's, I think they probably end up making

1226
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 7: it back to the final four. And I believe that's

1227
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 7: ultimately what's gonna end up happening.

1228
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,959
Speaker 4: Once they get there, we'll see because I.

1229
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 7: Think the team that they're gonna meet is going to

1230
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 7: be incredibly difficult for them to match up against.

1231
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: I think the person, the person, the team that comes

1232
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 3: out of Duke Saint John's goes to the Final four

1233
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 3: because I'll start with some sleepers here. I think Michigan

1234
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 3: State and Yukon have to be careful if healthy of UCLA.

1235
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 3: They got better at the season went along. The narrative

1236
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 3: about them was about Mick Cronin being crazy and he is.

1237
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 3: UCLA beat Michigan State the other day and they could

1238
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 3: see them again into Sweet sixteen. Ucla plush Purdue yesterday

1239
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 3: without their ladies score, billdeh playing in the game and

1240
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 3: Donovan dead their point guard, their star point guard got

1241
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 3: hurt during the game, and they still nearly beat Purdue yesterday.

1242
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 3: I think U c l A is going to be

1243
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: a factor here. I think UCLA takes out Yukon. I

1244
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 3: think UCLA takes out Michigan statea on the way why.

1245
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 3: I think their battle testing from the Big Ten, and

1246
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see some of those Big Ten

1247
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 3: teams Wisconsin, U c l A, those teams that aren't

1248
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: the highest seed of Big ten teams. I think those

1249
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 3: teams are ready for this tournament. You got a sleeper

1250
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 3: on this round. I don't know if I have a sleeper.

1251
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 5: I do have tip times though for Thursday, Okay, Carolina

1252
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 5: VCU three ten tip time Duke Ciena Bone oh one

1253
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 5: seed with the late tip on Saturday. Yeah, they are

1254
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 5: nine to forty on CBA. And that's why I am

1255
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 5: so tired of the way the media treats Duke. And

1256
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 5: this is enough, This is enough, is enough. When I

1257
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 5: look at the East, I mean, like I would Saint

1258
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 5: John's because of their seed, qualifies as a sleeper because

1259
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 5: I've I think they're misseded, but if they make to

1260
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 5: the second weekend, they outperform seed expectations.

1261
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't, I'm not. I'm not with you on

1262
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 4: U C l A. I can't.

1263
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 3: I can't get there. This team when they try, they

1264
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 3: have help with that if he needed. I think there's

1265
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 3: some pills that one of our hosts.

1266
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 5: Whenever they travel outside of the West Coast consider miss

1267
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 5: and so I do I do wonder about that, you know,

1268
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 5: for them making some sort some sort of a run.

1269
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe the bulls of South Florida.

1270
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're a.

1271
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 5: Team that I could maybe see making the second weekend,

1272
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 5: depending on what happens with Michigan State in their back

1273
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 5: court with Jeremy Fears, Because at some point you gotta

1274
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 5: wonder is you're gonna kick a guy once too many

1275
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 5: times and get ejected. Because if let's just put it

1276
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 5: this way, Bode, if this guy played a duke, the

1277
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 5: media narrative around him would be a lot different.

1278
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 6: He's gotten away with a lot of crap. I was

1279
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 6: gonna say, he's honestly just as bed, if not worse

1280
00:57:59,120 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 6: than Grayson.

1281
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 5: Okay, there's nothing worse than Grayson, but he's on the

1282
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 5: same level as Grayson.

1283
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 3: What's up? So you got a sleeper there? We want

1284
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 3: to get to the next region real quick after this,

1285
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 3: so give me a sleeper, fine, or get your sleeper

1286
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 3: right in the east.

1287
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, and East. I figured there's gonna be South Florida.

1288
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 6: I am not as bullish owned South Florida as far

1289
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 6: I Meaneez, this is gonna lose US awards. Yeah, I'm

1290
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 6: going to South Florida as a sleeper. Fine, you've already

1291
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 6: pretty much given us your yourself. Yeah, South Florida. I

1292
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 6: love them all right. The Heels region in there, fitting

1293
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 6: your thoughts real quick? Sum up the UNC draw there.

1294
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 6: Give me a sleeper also in that region. Just do

1295
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 6: both the same time.

1296
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I got the Heels going home in the

1297
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 5: round of thirty two. I think Illinois that that that

1298
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 5: he fishing offense is gonna be too much for Carolina

1299
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 5: to handle. And this is a team that gets me

1300
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 5: every year. Bu but I will believe in them. Oh no,

1301
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 5: don't do it until I until I quit believing. Another

1302
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 5: thing about this, I think Saint Mary's they're not.

1303
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 7: Even getting past the first Every year A and M

1304
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 7: in the first round will beat him.

1305
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: If Dick, can I say something to you?

1306
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 3: Though I have Saint Mary's still again yet?

1307
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 4: Is because Randy Bennet's bald. I'm bald. You do look

1308
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 4: like I do support the Bald brotherhood.

1309
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 5: But I think this is the most vulnerable Houston team

1310
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 5: that we have seen since they've emerged as a legitimate

1311
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 5: title contender year in year out.

1312
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 4: They're not as good defensively.

1313
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 5: I could see me of Saint Mary's putting that game

1314
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 5: in the low forties in the mid fifties, and I

1315
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:32,919
Speaker 5: think they could win that way.

1316
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 4: I think the Gales, with the team to watch coming

1317
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 4: out of the South, spoke, what's your your sleeper in

1318
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 4: the in in that region in there?

1319
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 6: Well, it's who Carolina is playing. It's VCU. I have

1320
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 6: VCU going to to Sweet sixteen. I really believe them,

1321
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 6: just because their non conference schedule was really tough looking

1322
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 6: back on it now. As I mentioned, they played a

1323
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 6: couple of tournament teams, including n C State to who

1324
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 6: they lost to by six points, and they played great

1325
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 6: down a stretch in the worthy class of the eight ten.

1326
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 6: So I gotta go with VCU. I think they're gonna

1327
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 6: get past both North Carolina in Illinois. They're getting, They're getting,

1328
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 6: They're gonna complete the two thousand and five National Championship

1329
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 6: Game sweep.

1330
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: Very interesting flat or was a sleeper there?

1331
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 6: Uh?

1332
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, Carolina, I have them out in

1333
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 7: the round of thirty two as well. I do think

1334
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 7: that is probably the best they could have hoped for.

1335
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 7: In Illinois, I think maybe they give them a little

1336
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 7: bit of a game, but I still have them going out.

1337
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 7: It's weird. I think the sleeper comes from this game.

1338
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 7: I think you could be either Vanderbilt or McNeice. McNeice

1339
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 7: turns teams over at an incredibly high rate that makes

1340
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 7: them very dangerous. They've also been there, done that before.

1341
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 7: I know it's a different coach, but I still believe

1342
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 7: that they're a team that could get the job done.

1343
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 4: Vandy. I have them going to the Sweet sixteen.

1344
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 7: I think they're a team that if they get that

1345
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 7: matchup with Florida, just beat them.

1346
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, Vanderbilt could be a team that

1347
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 4: you could see in the Elite eight.

1348
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 7: And then if they match up with Houston, I don't

1349
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 7: know if I'm loving Houston. Is Vandy a sleeper for

1350
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 7: the Final four depending on how things break.

1351
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 3: I don't think crazy. I don't think that's completely insane.

1352
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that game right away from them today, but

1353
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 3: they're very close. I still underseated, also has a five season.

1354
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 7: I still went with Florida, but I do believe that

1355
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 7: Vanderbilt should be talked about like that.

1356
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 3: That's Sweet sixteen in the South Fitty potentially before we

1357
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: go to break here could be Florida VA. I don't

1358
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 3: I don't love Nebraska as a four. No, I think

1359
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 3: Vandy is the better team as the five. We could

1360
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 3: be Florida Vandy in what a potential matchup in terms

1361
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 3: of styles and what a coaching matchup if it's the

1362
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 3: two three Houston and Illinois. Because offense of Illinois second

1363
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 3: in the nation, we know Houston's defense not as great

1364
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: as usual, but Houston Illinois would be a great Sweet

1365
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: sixteen matchup Therery.

1366
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 5: Guys, yep, and I think whoever could win that potential

1367
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 5: Florida Vanderbilt would be the favorite to come out of

1368
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 5: this region and make the final four. I thought Vandy

1369
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 5: after what they did yesterday, the way the way they

1370
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 5: beat down Florida, maybe would have moved up to the

1371
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 5: flour line.

1372
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 4: They really they.

1373
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 5: Really responded after remember they started the season with sixteen seventeen.

1374
01:01:58,360 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 5: You know, then they kind of hit a loll but

1375
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 5: they really played well here down the stretch. And but see,

1376
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 5: I have Saint Mary's Illinois, which would also could be

1377
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 5: a very interesting Sweet sixteen matchup as well. So because

1378
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 5: you have a team that wants to play in the

1379
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 5: upper eighties love nineties, that is not the way.

1380
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 4: The Gales want to play.

1381
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 5: So regardless, Illinois could be in for a different style

1382
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 5: of matchup with the second round. Whether they see Houston

1383
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 5: or Saint Mary's or saying them.

1384
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 4: The point spreads are out.

1385
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 3: I have not seen them yet, but I got a

1386
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 3: text that the Heels are. To make sure I got

1387
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 3: it correct. The Heels are two and a half point

1388
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 3: favorites in their first round matchup where we see you

1389
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 3: them so very very close there so far in Vegas.

1390
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 3: We'll look up some more.

1391
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1392
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 6: I also do want to mention we talked about the

1393
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 6: tip times for North Carolina and Douke do need to

1394
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 6: mention as well that NC State will be the nightcap

1395
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 6: game on the first four in Dayton on Tuesday night.

1396
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:55,439
Speaker 3: And what makes that special is that's the Barkley, That's

1397
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 3: the Charles Barkley Dick Vital game where they came together

1398
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 3: and they agreed they leed Ital do the game with Barkley.

1399
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 3: So NC State Texas will have Brian Anderson, Charles Barkley

1400
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 3: and Dick vi Tao on the calf.

1401
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 4: N TV gonna be all over Kiddy or copan baby

1402
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 4: that's got Copeland.

1403
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 6: Do need to mention too, if they do make it

1404
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 6: to Portland, they would be the nightcap game.

1405
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 4: You know, as they should at ten oh five. All

1406
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 4: the State fans are gonna love that much better, stay

1407
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 4: up plate twice as potentially.

1408
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 3: It's better than the alternative of having to play Tuesday

1409
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 3: and the play Thursday.

1410
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 4: True, true, it probably it is a Tuesday Thursday.

1411
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 3: No, I'm staying Thursday afternoon though, like they had to

1412
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 3: play two pm Eastern time or something.

1413
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 5: They can stay play well, they gonna do the next day.

1414
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 3: Point if someone praise us for all getting a wall,

1415
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 3: you're starting to go the other way here a little

1416
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 3: bit though.

1417
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 4: There's not a State fan on the air right now.

1418
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:46,439
Speaker 4: Who am I going after?

1419
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 3: When when we come back, we're gonna do the same

1420
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 3: thing we just did, but for the West and the

1421
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Midwest regions. Also, I need to tell the audience something

1422
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 3: I witnessed, uh before the food even arrived today that

1423
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 3: involved fitting and flounder in the Hallway Sports Radio ninety

1440
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: seven nine six. We're go reverse order this time. Flounder

1441
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 3: your thoughts on the West region. That's where Arizona is

1442
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 3: the one, produes the two, the Zags are the three,

1443
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: and then you have that that four or five that

1444
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 3: I love, Arkansas, Wisconsin. What are your thoughts on this

1445
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 3: region here? What's the what's what's your what are your

1446
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 3: eyes on here?

1447
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 7: Probably the best region I think outside of maybe the

1448
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 7: eight nine matchup. I told you, I don't really know

1449
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 7: what to do with that because Villanova and Utah State.

1450
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 7: You I'm gonna trust to you on that one. You

1451
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 7: said you really liked what you saw from Utah State.

1452
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 7: They did win the Mountain West.

1453
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Shame they won me money yesterday, so I'll give them

1454
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 3: the better for the down.

1455
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 4: And I don't love Villanova. Yeah, I don't really love

1456
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 4: them either, certainly not the type of.

1457
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 3: Plays pretty fast from what I saw. Okay, so I

1458
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 3: want to watch them come out with snales face.

1459
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 4: That could well.

1460
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 7: The thing is, it could be interesting if they do

1461
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 7: play with a little bit of pace. You never know,

1462
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 7: they can end up, you know, beating Arizona. It seems

1463
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 7: that we think could make it pretty far, but we

1464
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 7: know their history in the NCAA Tournament. I think this

1465
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 7: part of the bracket Man Wisconsin, High Point, Arizona Hawaii

1466
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 7: or Arizona Arkansas Hawaii could be fascinating. I mean, I

1467
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 7: think those are twelve and thirteen seeds that look pretty

1468
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 7: live to me. But the problem is is I think

1469
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 7: the two teams that they have there at the four

1470
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 7: and five are really really good.

1471
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 4: Trustem.

1472
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think both of them could end up making runs.

1473
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 7: So I think that's gonna be fascinating to watch. You

1474
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 7: got maybe the best player in all of college basketball,

1475
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 7: a guy that could potentially go number one overall in

1476
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 7: the NBA Draft in aj Debonsa, who is in this

1477
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 7: part of the bracket as well. Gonzaga you never know

1478
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 7: what they're ultimately going to be, and then Miami and Purdue,

1479
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 7: I think are fascinating at the bottom of that bracket.

1480
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 7: I do think it's gonna be chalk through the Sweet sixteen,

1481
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 7: and then I'm intrigued from there. I really think there's

1482
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 7: a chance Arkansas gets it done against Arizona.

1483
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 4: Very possible.

1484
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 7: That might be the one seed that I'm feeling as

1485
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 7: most vulnerable, even though I love Arizona's depth, I do

1486
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 7: think that Arkansas with a cuff, the way that he's

1487
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 7: playing right now, I think there's a chance that Arkansas

1488
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 7: ends up making a run there. And then Purdue and

1489
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 7: Gonzaga should be fascinating between those two sides. Loved what

1490
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 7: I saw from Purdue out there in Chicago, so we'll see.

1491
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 4: Maybe they can make a little bit of a run

1492
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 4: as well.

1493
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 7: But that West bracket is going to be fantastic. I

1494
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 7: think the most exciting part of the bracket for sure.

1495
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 3: Smoke, I'm back on Perdue, I was off Purdue, now

1496
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm back on again.

1497
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 4: How are you not?

1498
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 3: By winning the Big Ten the way that they did.

1499
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 3: I also don't love Gonzaga as the three b YU

1500
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 3: as the six as potential matchups in the Sweet sixteen.

1501
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 3: So I do think the path is there for Purdue

1502
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 3: to get to the elate to eight. Smoky, what are

1503
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 3: your thoughts on the West Region here?

1504
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 6: Well, I agree with Flounder just feels like the one

1505
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 6: one seed that it just feels too tough to get

1506
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 6: through this top up top. Yeah, it is extremely tough,

1507
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 6: because you know, I understand Purdue and I wouldn't be

1508
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 6: shocked to.

1509
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 4: Purdue beats Miami.

1510
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 6: I think of the games that I'm most concerned about,

1511
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 6: if Miami makes an elite run, it's easily going to

1512
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 6: be Purdue. Gonzaga just doesn't feel like it has the

1513
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 6: sharpness that it has had in years past. BYU really

1514
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 6: wish that Richie Saunders never got hurt so we can

1515
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 6: really see what this team was all about. And I

1516
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 6: do feel sorry for High Point that it feels like

1517
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 6: they're running into another great team in the first round

1518
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 6: of the NCAA Tournament. Again, I really wish that they

1519
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 6: would play Texas Tech because I think.

1520
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 4: Ki Point would would have it a legit shot. Since JT.

1521
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 6: Toppins not playing, But I still think the meat and

1522
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 6: potatoes of this this bracket here is four, five and seven.

1523
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 6: I think Wisconsin Arkansas are going to give Arizona fense

1524
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,440
Speaker 6: and I honestly think whoever wins between Arkansas and Wisconsin

1525
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 6: is going to beat Arizona no offense to Arizona.

1526
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 4: I just think those two matchups are going to be

1527
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 4: that tough.

1528
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 6: And you know, I think Brazil does need to get

1529
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 6: mentioned as well as d X factor for what makes

1530
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 6: Arkansas such a tough team. But from top to bottom,

1531
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 6: it's very hard to find any wiggle room. The amount

1532
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 6: of wiggle room in this bracket is probably the smallest

1533
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 6: out of any quanti Your thoughts on the West, Yeah, So.

1534
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 5: When I was looking at my bracket is about halfway

1535
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 5: through filling it out, I was wondering, am I gonna

1536
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 5: have all four ones in the final four. Evan Miyakawa

1537
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 5: has nine point one percent chance that that happens, more

1538
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 5: than double the percentage when we had last year, when

1539
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 5: we had all four ones make the final four, and

1540
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 5: I got to the West and I found my first

1541
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 5: one to go out, and then'll be the big twelve

1542
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 5: champ in Arizona. I love, I love Arkansas. It feels

1543
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 5: like it took Spoke brought this, so.

1544
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 3: I got sure a Jersey Mike subline kind of loves

1545
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 3: even more so because they're real and my love for

1546
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 3: Jersey Jenny is not.

1547
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 5: It felt like it took Calipari some time. Remember I

1548
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 5: won five star last year in the SEC. They make

1549
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 5: the second weekends as a ten last year, But it

1550
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 5: feels like he's established that program perennial contender in their

1551
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 5: conference and a team to make deep runs in the tournament.

1552
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 5: I think the Razorbacks go to the final four out

1553
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 5: of the West. I think they take down Arizona in

1554
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 5: that one four. I do agree that with Flund, I

1555
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 5: have chalk, I have all top four seed lines advancing

1556
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,679
Speaker 5: to the Sweet sixteen. But I think the Razorbacks out

1557
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 5: do Purdue in a high scoring, fun Elite eight game.

1558
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,799
Speaker 4: And thinking about that point guard matchup set up there.

1559
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 5: Because A Cuff is going to be a top three

1560
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 5: draft pick, like he has played his way into top

1561
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 5: five status maybe as I just mentioned, right there at

1562
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 5: top three. So that's where I think it's gonna be

1563
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 5: a fun bracket. But that's the first one heed to

1564
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 5: have going out is Arizona to to Arkansas.

1565
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 4: They break through, they get to the final four. In

1566
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 4: accout party, I.

1567
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 3: Have Arizona going to the Final four. I don't think

1568
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 3: they're the most vulnerable one seed. Actually, because of the

1569
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 3: Cabb Foster injury, I would say that Arizona is the

1570
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 3: team I feel most comfortable with saying that they're a

1571
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 3: final four team. I'm not thinking twice about it, but

1572
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 3: I say that because in the Midwest region, I do

1573
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 3: not have the one seed going to the final four.

1574
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,759
Speaker 3: I think I have three. We'll do our actual picks,

1575
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, in full coming up, but I have three

1576
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 3: ones in a two when we get there, and it's

1577
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 3: in this region right here. I do not think Michigan

1578
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 3: gets there. I think Iowa State finds a way fellas

1579
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 3: to get to the final four.

1580
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 4: Because I don't love Michigan right now.

1581
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,560
Speaker 3: But I also we talk about Arizona's top with Wisconsin

1582
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 3: in Arkansas. I don't have that same vibe with Bama,

1583
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 3: as the four Texas, Tech as, the five Tennessee's, the

1584
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 3: six down there Kentucky. I don't love all the teams

1585
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 3: in Michigan's path, but I don't love Michigan right now either,

1586
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 3: but I do think they get to the Elite eight.

1587
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 3: I think Iowa State has been good all year. They've

1588
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 3: kind of gotten forgot about it in a little bit

1589
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 3: here till recently when they got hot again. Founder I

1590
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 3: love Iowa State in this tournament. Yeah there, Look, they're interesting.

1591
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 7: I think they are so base on what Mom Chilovich

1592
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 7: can do, and I just wonder is that going to

1593
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 7: hold up for an entire run to get them to

1594
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 7: the final four. I am. I actually think they go

1595
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 7: out in the Sweet sixteen. I think Virginia beats them

1596
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 7: because I think the size that Virginia has, the ability

1597
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 7: to protect the rim, I think is going to be

1598
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 7: really interesting. It's gonna make it one of those games

1599
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 7: where Iowa State's going to have to score from the

1600
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 7: perimeter to be able to win the game. They're built

1601
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 7: to be able to do it, but uh, you know,

1602
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 7: we've seen some games this year where it hasn't necessarily

1603
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 7: worked out for them. I think Virginia ends up getting

1604
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 7: them there. I do have Michigan coming out here because

1605
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 7: that top of that bracket. As you said, I think

1606
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 7: it really favors Michigan. You know, I think one of

1607
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 7: their biggest tests is probably gonna be whoever wins that

1608
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 7: eight to nine matchup, because you're talking about two of

1609
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 7: the best offensive teams in the country, either one of

1610
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 7: them that you would be facing. I think it'll be

1611
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 7: seeing Lewis that they face. I think they'll get past them.

1612
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,719
Speaker 7: I think Tech Tech gets beat by Akron.

1613
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 4: That's my team that could be a little bit of

1614
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: a Tech and beat there too by Akron, So I.

1615
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 7: Think, yeah, that could be a team that could make

1616
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 7: a little bit of a run if Akron can put

1617
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 7: it all together. They've been in the tournament a couple

1618
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:14,600
Speaker 7: of years in a row now, so that makes a

1619
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 7: little bit of sense. And then but ultimately I think

1620
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 7: Michigan finds a way to get there. Might not look

1621
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 7: the prettiest, but I do think they end up coming

1622
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:23,799
Speaker 7: out of this part of the bracket.

1623
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 6: What's your takeaway, Smoke, Well, I do think I agree

1624
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 6: with Flounder in terms of when it comes to Michigan,

1625
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 6: it just really depends on what type of elliot caddo

1626
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 6: are you getting down to stretch to somebody these games.

1627
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 6: Because you look back into that Duke win over Michigan,

1628
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,839
Speaker 6: I think one of the big reasons was because Elliott

1629
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 6: Cadou was trying to force a shot, and you look

1630
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 6: at what he's been shooting down.

1631
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 4: To stretch in some of these games ever since Duke.

1632
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 6: Outside of the Minnesota win and the semi final win

1633
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 6: they had against Wisconsin on Saturday, he's not been an

1634
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 6: efficient shooter. So you're gonna have that problem if you're

1635
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 6: a wolf ringe, you got to make sure to Elliot

1636
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,799
Speaker 6: Cado is playing more like what he did in January

1637
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 6: in December. But I feel like Iowa State Virginia, you

1638
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 6: really are going to be splitting hairs in that matchup.

1639
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 4: In my opinion, it's going to be that closed.

1640
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 6: But the real thing for Virginia is, you know, the

1641
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 6: ritter can't play like he did offensively last night, but

1642
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 6: I don't think you will have to worry about it

1643
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 6: as much. But you got to have Malik Thomas, Sam

1644
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 6: Lewis and I'll even pro Jacari White shooting the lights

1645
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 6: out if they're going to make it past Iowa State

1646
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:20,680
Speaker 6: in my opinion, So.

1647
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 4: That's what I'm looking at. And even though I have.

1648
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 6: Kentucky winning, don't don't underestimate Santa Clara their that game.

1649
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 6: But good I think iver Way Kentucky Santa Clara is

1650
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 6: going to go down to the wire and could be

1651
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 6: one of those upset watches that we have this year.

1652
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 6: It's been an up and down year for Mark Pop

1653
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 6: in year two at Kentucky.

1654
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 3: The only reason eight and a half point favorites in

1655
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 3: their first game against Santa Clara, which is not a lot.

1656
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,640
Speaker 6: And look, if this was the Kentucky team of January,

1657
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 6: I would be I would probably have Santa Clair. But

1658
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 6: considering how they played, it feels like the only team

1659
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 6: that they cannot do good against at all is Florida.

1660
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 4: I feel like Kentucky's gonna win.

1661
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 6: It's it's very ironic that that game winning shot they

1662
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 6: had against LSU that looked very similar to to Christian

1663
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 6: Latner's shot is what probably saved their season.

1664
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 3: Quadie take us through the Midwest. Here are you when

1665
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 3: you got you got smoke going off your head right

1666
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 3: now over there.

1667
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 4: You've been working well.

1668
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 5: You when I when I look at this bracket, I've

1669
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 5: been high on Michigan all year long. I have a

1670
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 5: chance to to join Colin usually twice a week on

1671
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 5: show Sports Today, and they've been the team I've been

1672
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 5: saying since you know, mid to late December, they're the

1673
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 5: best team I've seen all year. I don't necessarily feel

1674
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 5: that way entering I just saw Tuke in person. You know,

1675
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 5: I've seen Duke play fighting the person five times this year.

1676
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 5: I would probably say Duke is now maybe the best

1677
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 5: team entering the field. But I love Michigan's draw to

1678
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 5: get to a final four under Dusty May. I don't

1679
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,719
Speaker 5: think the eight to nine matchup is going to be scary.

1680
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 5: I think Saint Louis gets by Georgia and what might

1681
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 5: be the game of the first round because of how

1682
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 5: many points they score.

1683
01:15:58,479 --> 01:15:59,679
Speaker 4: If Texas Tech.

1684
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 5: Was healthy, they could have been a team I could

1685
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 5: have been eyeing up as an upset and then as a.

1686
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 3: But it probably would be closer to Iowa State seed exactly.

1687
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 5: And that's the thing is I think if they would

1688
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 5: have stayed healthy, I don't think Texas Tech would have

1689
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 5: been a five. But talking about JT. Topping getting injured,

1690
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 5: Christian Anderson got injured. That's why they had changed the

1691
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 5: court of the Big Twelve tournament because he was the

1692
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 5: guy that hurt his ankle. They think he'll be he

1693
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 5: should be good to go, but they're not they're not

1694
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,560
Speaker 5: as healthy as as they could be. You'll get the

1695
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 5: bottom of the bracket, you know. I think you'll get chalk.

1696
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,639
Speaker 5: I think Virginia gets to the second weekend. I think

1697
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 5: Iowa State gets to the second week I do have

1698
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 5: Santa Clair beaty Kentucky, but I don't think Iowa State

1699
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 5: has enough size to deal with Michigan. I love Taman Lipsey.

1700
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 5: Jefferson's going to be an All American. The dude averages

1701
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,639
Speaker 5: fifteen to five and five. He got Montchilovitch on the outside,

1702
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 5: who is shooting a ridiculous percentage from behind the three

1703
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 5: point line. But I think I do think Michigan does

1704
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 5: break through, even though they're not playing the way you

1705
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 5: would maybe want your team to play entering the Instant

1706
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 5: Play tournament. But I do think they've been the best

1707
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 5: team for the majority of the season. They won the

1708
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 5: Big Ten regular season, they got to the Big Ten

1709
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 5: tournament's final. I do think they find their way to

1710
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 5: a Final four, and Dustin May gets them on the

1711
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,600
Speaker 5: on the custom winning they're national championship.

1712
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:22,520
Speaker 3: There are some potential great Sweet sixteen matchups here. Obviously

1713
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 3: it doesn't always go chalk, but I mean Duke Saint

1714
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 3: John's as possible. Think about think about the coaching in

1715
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen. These are not my predictions, but just

1716
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 3: the potential. If the higher seeds win, we get East

1717
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 3: a loan, we'll get to East. You'd have Shire verse Patino,

1718
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 3: or Shire versus Bill self. You would have Izo versus

1719
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 3: Hurley Hurley. You have Todd Golden down there potentially matching

1720
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,799
Speaker 3: up along the way with Brat Underwood or Calvin Sampson

1721
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 3: on the other side. There's potential for for Patino versus

1722
01:17:55,920 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 3: Tommy Woyd. I mean, you've got Nate Oates and Dusty

1723
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 3: May in one region. You've got uh the job that

1724
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 3: Ryan Odam did. He's got Rick Barnes down there. You've

1725
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 3: got Ottenburger down there. You've got so many big name

1726
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 3: coaches in the here. Did I say his name wrong?

1727
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 4: There?

1728
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 3: Otzenberger, j Otzenberger, dj Otzenberger. If you know him well

1729
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 3: like I do, you call Mazi and yeah there. Him

1730
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 3: and Flotter have the same issue. They wear a shirt

1731
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 3: one size too small. One just looks different than the other.

1732
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 4: Case of a tacking people and finder. You know what

1733
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 4: said as.

1734
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 7: A as a model, that's apparently a model over there.

1735
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 7: I mean, his fat ass is talking. I mean it

1736
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 7: makes a lot of sense.

1737
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 3: Do you know what we nicknamed him the other day

1738
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 3: from our suite at the game, because we could see

1739
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 3: him all the way on media row. We nicknamed him

1740
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 3: the Beacon because anywhere you wanted to look, all you

1741
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 3: saw was light coming off that dome. It's it's like

1742
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 3: a lighthouse. It's unbelievable. Didn't you tell Mac you found

1743
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 3: your way back to the seat? Sea Dickens was head.

1744
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, no, I knew exactly. We were sitting inside

1745
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 7: the arena. I knew I could. I could track based

1746
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 7: on where my seat was. Now I could track him

1747
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 7: at all times because you can see the bald head

1748
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 7: on media row, I knew I knew him.

1749
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 3: So right before we came on the air, when the

1750
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 3: food got here at right before six point thirty and

1751
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 3: the uh the selection show, these two smoke were arguing

1752
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 3: on the way to get the food outside and they

1753
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 3: were Flounder said, why you got an attitude? Fiddy said,

1754
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 3: I don't, what's your problem? So when I went into

1755
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 3: the conference room and just stood there, they were outside

1756
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 3: the door, and all of a sudden I heard ooh

1757
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 3: and Flounder got taken off his feet and tackled into

1758
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 3: the wall by Fiddy. For I don't even know what

1759
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 3: was going on on there. If I gave him a hug,

1760
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:40,879
Speaker 3: that's a hug. I went outside.

1761
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 4: Why did you end up on the ground. No, I

1762
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 4: know he ended up on the ground by trying to

1763
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 4: push me into the wall.

1764
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 6: No, I see, I actually saw this because it was

1765
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 6: you were ahead and in a different room.

1766
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 4: He actually was.

1767
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 6: But you also forgot to mention the thud when Flounder

1768
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 6: hit the groundles I.

1769
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 4: Thought, when somebody went through the wall, and we're all

1770
01:19:59,080 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 4: going to get in trouble.

1771
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, we're all good. The lobby is still intact

1772
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 7: right now. A lot with you guys just got a

1773
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 7: bear hug. I didn't really understand what was going on,

1774
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 7: especially after the argument moments before you would you would

1775
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 7: see how I would think there was something to.

1776
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 3: Figure because you said you have an attitude. He said, No,

1777
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 3: I don't next thing. I know you're on the ground

1778
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 3: and there's a thought to him. Do you want to

1779
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:23,520
Speaker 3: apologize for that? I was just hugging my mands.

1780
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 5: This is just a weirdo. This is my favorite day

1781
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 5: of the year. You know, he kind of irked me

1782
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 5: earlier than day. He got to work a lot later

1783
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 5: than I anticipated. My podcast ran about two hours late.

1784
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 5: And then him and Smoke trying to be very argumentative

1785
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 5: while we were watching the Big Ten tournament final, watching

1786
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 5: the American Conference final, watching NASCAR. So it was just

1787
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 5: me kind of checking and making sure that we were good.

1788
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 5: Notice who the common denominator is here.

1789
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 4: It's him. He's always the problem, and then tries to

1790
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 4: blame everybody else.

1791
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 6: I will say too, when it came to that, they

1792
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 6: would have been horrible if they would have had a

1793
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 6: hole in the wall because they literally just renovated that front,

1794
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 6: this reception area.

1795
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 3: Always leave it, Colin said, I'll be back in a minute.

1796
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 3: Colin turned his back for two minutes, and you guys

1797
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 3: are on the ground.

1798
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's not good.

1799
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 7: It's not good when the station father can't keep everybody

1800
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 7: in there.

1801
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 3: Colin was bringing in the New York butcher Shop food today.

01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.

1812
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 5: Had had I put Flounder through the wall, or Flounder

1813
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 5: would put me through the wall, and we all would

1814
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 5: have left, that would have opened the door for Aaron

1818
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 3: to fill out brackets. Troppie said, since I don't talk

Speaker 5: the ac scene.

1834
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:00,920

01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 4: back the date in date? Ye, I didn't know. I was.

1836
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,280

1837
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 4: beat up Tropy during the break.

1838
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 5: Well, if that's the only thing I did during the

1839
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 5: break that's got you upset, that's that's a step in

1840
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 5: the right direction, because uh, fireworks are happening on my end.

1841

Speaker 3: through your final four selections. Your upsets still give us

1844
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 3: your your your bracket here, will go, will go around

1845
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 3: the horn. Even Tropy can get involved. Which bracket is

1846
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 3: he gonna use?

1847
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 7: Though he's got to use the one that he actually

1848
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 7: cares about more because he's a multi bracket guy.

1849
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the worst guys to the worst guy. I

1850
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 4: have the same team all right in the East.

1851
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 7: I've got that's right, the Duke Blue Devils coming out

1852
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 7: of the East. It pains me, like a gentleman, it

1853
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 7: pains me, but I gotta go with them. I think

1854
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 7: they survived that game against Saint John's. I think they'll

1855
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 7: handle Yukon. I think they find a way through that.

1856
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 7: Then I got Florida coming out of the South. I

1857
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 7: don't think they're gonna I mean they'll have that game

1858
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 7: against Vanderbilt that I think will be tricky for him.

1859
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 4: I think they'll absolutely stomp Houston.

1860
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 7: I am not feeling Houston coming into this tournament, and

1861
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 7: I think they advance on.

1862
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 4: I've got Arkansas out of the West. I love the

1863
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 4: way they're playing right now. Love Darius A. Cuff.

1864
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna be able to carry them. And

1865
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,640
Speaker 7: then I have Michigan coming out of the Midwest. So

1866
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 7: it's Duke and Florida. I have the Florida Gators because

1867
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 7: of the side that they bring to the table, getting

1868
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 7: over that hump there and getting to the National Championship Game.

1869
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 4: I have Michigan.

1870
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 7: As much as I'm not loving that Michigan team, I

1871
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 7: still think they find a way to the National Championship Game,

1872
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 7: and at the end of the at the end of

1873
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 7: the day, on that final Monday, it'll be Todd Golden

1874
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,679
Speaker 7: and the Florida Gators cutting down their second straight National

1875
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 7: championship net.

1876
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,719
Speaker 3: How about that, Smoky Well, I have a very similar

1877
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 3: final four, if not exactly the same. You accuse you

1878
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 3: accuse people there. I finished bracket second only behind Shot.

1879
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 3: I gus your work at school first, Smoking, I feel

1880
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 3: like you probably did an sometimes depended on the topic,

1881
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 3: definitely not science.

1882
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 4: But anyway, I have Duke coming out of the East Brackett.

1883
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 6: I think the main hiccup there, if they will have one,

1884
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,799
Speaker 6: is going to be against Saint John's. I'm not afraid

1885
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 6: of Michigan State, and I'm not afraid of Yukon, especially

1886
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 6: because their lack of a star guard and presence down

1887
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 6: low as compared to years past. South Reach and I

1888
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 6: half Florida coming out as well. I'm just the only

1889
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 6: concern is Vanderbilt that really for me. Outside of that,

1890
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 6: this Houston team doesn't have the same defensive star power

1891
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,879
Speaker 6: as some of the.

1892
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 4: Defensive star power as well.

1893
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 6: And Florida has been playing like one of the best

1894
01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 6: teams over the last month and a half, so give

1895
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 6: me that. In Arkansas, it's the same team here off

1896
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 6: the West, I think they're gonna beat Arizona, and I

1897
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 6: think they'll have enough just to beat Miami as well.

1898
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,600
Speaker 6: And in the Midwest, I could go either way. I

1899
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 6: could see it being Iowa State, Virginia, or Michigan, but

1900
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 6: I feel like Michigan has a little bit too much

1901
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 6: in the tank when it comes to the Final four.

1902
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,799
Speaker 4: I have Duke beating Florida.

1903
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 6: It's one of those situations where I know they already

1904
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 6: played once this year, but let's be honest, Duke, let

1905
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 6: him get back into that game with a fifteen point

1906
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 6: lead that was blown before Isaiah Evans hit that cluster three.

1907
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 6: And then on the other side of the final four bracket,

1908
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 6: I think Michigan's going to be too much for Arkansas

1909
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 6: and we're going to a rematch of this what we

1910
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 6: saw in DC about a month ago, and I have

1911
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 6: Duke winning sixty seven sixty five.

1912
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 3: How about that? Well, did you call me by name

1913
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 3: or no? Well, mister Quad's are you ready.

1914
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 4: You get attitude? As this show's gone on, Well, we'll

1915
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,560
Speaker 4: talking about how far they asked do you need to do?

1916
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 4: You need to be burped like everything? Okay, I'd love

1917
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:44,600
Speaker 4: for you to come Burt me.

1918
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 5: I was seeing how far away Greenville was from here

1919
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 5: because I'm gonna trying to go to the media thing

1920
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 5: for Thursday and Saturday.

1921
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 4: All right.

1922
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 5: So in the East, I've got Duke coming out of the.

1923
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 4: There got a little burp. I do have hot.

1924
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,799
Speaker 5: I do have the Blue Devils coming out of the East.

1925
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 5: I have them beating Yukon in the East Regional final.

1926
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 5: In the South, I have Florida coming out of that region.

1927
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 5: I have them topping Illinois in the Elite eight. So

1928
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 5: Florida back to back final fours. Moved to the top

1929
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 5: right hand side of the bracket. I have Arkansas, John

1930
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 5: Calipari and the Razorbacks. They break through, they take down

1931
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 5: Arizona in the Sweet sixteen, they take down Purdue in

1932
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 5: the East Regional Final or the West Regional Final, the

1933
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:46,040
Speaker 5: Razorbacks go back to the Final four. And then in

1934
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 5: the Midwest, I do have Michigan, the team I have

1935
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 5: been believing all year long that they were the best

1936
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,640
Speaker 5: team in the sport. I do think they get to

1937
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,520
Speaker 5: the final four. And then once we get to Indianapolis,

1938
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 5: the best host site for the final four, I have

1939
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 5: do beating Florida to get to the first national title

1940
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 5: game since twenty fifteen. That's my thirty five first round

1941
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 5: draft picks.

1942
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 4: This, Dad, hold on, I keep this, stop it keep going.

1943
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 5: Then I had Michigan taking down Arkansas to give us

1944
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 5: a early nineties night national title rematch between Duke and Michigan.

1945
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 5: And I have Dusty May and the Michigan Wolverines cutting

1946
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 5: down the nets in Indianapolis to win twenty twenty six

1947
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 5: in CUAA tournament.

1948
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 3: There you go, all right, Troppy, what you got for it?

1949
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 3: They're trying to clean this whole thing up for us?

1950
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 4: All right?

1951
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, le see what their course? Nothing, nothing, but don't

1952
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 3: kill hockey teams. The text line, don't like that.

1953
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 4: This is not Boston College's time to shine. That's later on.

1954
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 6: It is funny because yesterday at the game, I did

1955
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 6: see in the corner right across the baseline someone was

1956
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 6: wearing a Carolina a Hartford Whalers jersey.

1957
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 8: Ago there we go. Yeah, So coming out of the East.

1958
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 8: I do have Duke making it to the final four.

1959
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 8: I think they'll be able to overcome, you know, the injuries.

1960
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 8: I know Gong was probably gonna be playing from the start,

1961
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 8: if not, you know, from the round of thirty two

1962
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 8: or what have you. So I think they'll be okay.

1963
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 8: Just like as you guys said, I do think Saint

1964
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 8: John's I was really debating that one for a while

1965
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 8: if I wanted to pull off that upset or not.

1966
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 8: But let it be shock. Coming up out of the South,

1967
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 8: I do have Vanderbilt. I've been very impressed with them

1968
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 8: all season. I think them being a fifth seed is

1969
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 8: pretty shocking to me. I think that'd be a really

1970
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 8: fun matchup between those two. Out of the West, I

1971
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 8: do have Arkansas as well. A lot of similarities here

1972
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 8: between our brackets, but I do have Kyle Pari. I

1973
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 8: just think he's a great coach. I think he'll make

1974
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 8: his way through the West. Out of the Midwest, really

1975
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 8: impressed with what I've seen from them. I have Iowa

1976
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 8: State coming up out of the Midwest. So I have

1977
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 8: Duke and Iowa State advancing to the championship, and I

1978
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 8: had to be a little bit different.

1979
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 4: So I have Iowa State as your champion.

1980
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 3: Oh oh, how about that? I have Duke Florida no

1981
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 3: bot old boots for bigger teams. I don't root for

1982
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 3: Florida anymore. Top it, And I have Arizona Iowa State.

1983
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 3: I have Duke beating Arizona to cut it all down.

1984
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 3: I also wanted to bring up cut the nets all down.

1985
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 3: I want to bring up the most important game though,

1986
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 3: of all these games. That's on Wednesday night when Prairie

1987
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 3: View takes on Lee High in the uh oh hell yeah,

1988
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 3: the first games there. I need Lee High to get

1989
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,480
Speaker 3: their ass whomped. I need them to get destroyed and embarrassed.

1990
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 3: I want them to get beat by forty. You've never

1991
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 3: seen anybody till you've seen who they're playing again, Prairie View,

1992
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 3: prairie View Bone. Oh I'm Prairie viewing. Oh my god,

1993
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 3: I need that. I don't need a couple of Prairies

1994
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:34,640
Speaker 3: if they're going to win that.

1995
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,400
Speaker 4: I need them. I need them rolled out of this target.
