22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: writer for The Sporting News and lead Fox Sports bracketologist

Speaker 4: Mike de Coursi And Mike, I know your favorite month

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: of the year is March as well.

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 5: How are you?

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 6: Man?

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: It is great. I tell you a funny story. I

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: told this on Big ten Network on Saturday morning. Friday night,

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: I was getting ready for bed. I was up and

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: it was like eleven to fifty eight. I was getting

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: ready to go to bed, and house like, oh, I

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: might as well stay up the extra two minutes to

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: see March come in. And so I stayed up till

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: midnight and then hit the pillow. And then I woke

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: up the next day it was still February. That's how

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: eager I was to get here.

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 4: Oh man, it's it's great and we've got so much

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: to look forward to. We kind of finished our conversation

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: last week on the briefly on the Huskies, and you know,

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: I just want to open it up here before we

41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: go to the teams that actually will be competing for

42
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: a national championship. We had a great day on Saturday,

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: honoring Debt left Shrimp. But yes, the performance by the

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 4: Dogs was one of the worst of the season. Now

45
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: Wesley Yates goes one of seventeen in the game, they

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: still continue to struggle to get Hanna steinbacher requisite amount

47
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: of shots despite him shooting like seventy percent every.

48
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 5: Time he steps on the floor.

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: How much of an excuse should we give Danny Sprinkle

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: because he was down to seven scholarship players in that

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: game as the injuries just continued to mount.

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that that has a lot

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: to do with it, a lot to do with where

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: they are, and I think that one of I think

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: that Wesley should have self governed there, Like you just

56
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: don't go one to seventeen. If you go one to eight,

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: you start to think, okay, this is not my day.

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: That I got to figure out another way to help

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: the team. And the problem that you get into if

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: you continue on all the way to one to seventeen.

61
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: Everybody gets told, don't remember the last shot. So it

62
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: is understandable to an extent, but when you start to

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: accumulate those kinds of misses, you do have to remember

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 3: the last shots. Something's wrong on this day may be

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: the way you're being defended, It may be the opportunities

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: that are coming to you, but you shouldn't push it

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: all the way to one of seventeen, And especially when

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: you look at the number of different players whose percentages

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: were solid, if you take Wesley's numbers out of it,

70
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: it's a pretty proficient offensive performance. I think you probably

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: still lose the game, But Hannas shouldn't get eleven shots

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: when he makes eleven. When Wesley gets seventeen and makes

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: only one, that just can't happen. And I don't know

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: how many options Danny Sprinkle had relative to who he

75
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: could put in there given the limitations on the depth

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: at that point, you just don't have that many healthy

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: guys to go into the game. But it really isn't

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: useful for a player to go one to seventeen from

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: the field. And I think that's something that is as

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: much at this point as much player driven as it

81
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: is coach driven.

82
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: Mike de course, you join us, Mike, we go from

83
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: the Huskies all the way up to the tippy top

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: of the national championship tier. How deep is that national

85
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: championship tier for you? How many teams in the country

86
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: here on the first day of March would or the

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: second day of March, actually would you see in that

88
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: first week of April winning the national Championship, and it

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 4: wouldn't surprise you in the least.

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lot more maybe on February one

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: or February two, than it was than it is on

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: March two. Part of some of that's injury. I don't

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: look at Texas Tech as a serious National Championship contender.

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: A lot of teams can make the final four. You

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: look at NC State two years ago and you realize,

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, NC State's not even in the tournament if

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: they don't win five in a row in the ACC tournament, right,

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: so they're not even in it. And yet they went

99
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: on and won another four in a row and made

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: it to the Phoenix and the NC and CAA Final four.

101
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: So it is plausible for a lot of teams to

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: get there. So I don't rule Texas Tech out as

103
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: a final full contender because JD. Toppins out and injured,

104
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: but I don't think they can win it. And I

105
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: say the same thing about by You. Another team that

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: I thought could be a dark horse champion because of

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: aj Devance's unbelievable ability. He had at one point two

108
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: other thirty point scorers around her around him, meaning that

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: they've gotten thirty, not that they could, but they've gotten

110
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: thirty at this point the year. But one of them,

111
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: Richie Saunders, is out injured as well. So it's the

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: field is thinning from that standpoint, and I think it's

113
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: also thinning from a performance standpoint. You look at a

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: team like Purdue. I never bought them as a champion

115
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: because I didn't think they had the pro level talent

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 3: to do it. But they can't even at this point,

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: playing the way they are, I can't see them even

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: tricking that they're well away from being a national championship contender.

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: I think it probably goes a five for sure. The

120
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: four number one seed, the four current number one seeds,

121
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: Duke Michigan, and Arizona Connecticut, and Then's Florida for sure

122
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: are in this Houston if they could get their offense fixed,

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: and that mostly means veterans Emmanuel Sharp and Milo's Uzon

124
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: starting to score again. They're really struggling. They've got the

125
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: nice freshman Kristian ak has played much better the big guy,

126
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: and then Kingston Flemings has been great all year, but

127
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: they can't get to they can't get to the final

128
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: four or win it. If Sharp is putting up the

129
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: numbers he's putting up, Uzon's putting up the numbers he's

130
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: putting up. Neither one of them has been as effective

131
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: as necessary. So the number of teams is a lot

132
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: leaner than I thought it would be at this point.

133
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: You mentioned Texas Tech there, and they have yet to

134
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: lose since Toppen has been out. But does the top

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: and injury affect their seeding and should it affect their seedings?

136
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: Most of their resume was built with him in there,

137
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: and he was one of the best players in college basketball.

138
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: The committee made their decision on the bracket preview knowing

139
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: that JT. Toppin was out. They knew he had an

140
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: ACL and they knew he was he was not going

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: to play the rest of the year, and they still

142
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: installed them as a four seat. So they're hanging with

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: them and allowing them to play their way down or

144
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: play their way up. And since, like you said, since

145
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: it's happened, they've been more up and down, right, So

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: I think that they could they could play their way

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: up to the three line. They were a four, that's

148
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: where they I believe. I had them as a four

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: prior to the injury knocked them down to a five

150
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: because I figured that that's what the committee would do,

151
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: But then then they didn't. And since that, since that day,

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: they have been not just beating teams, but drilling teams.

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: That's the amazing part that some quality opposition that they've

154
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: been taking a part.

155
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 5: How about LJ. Cason at Michigan.

156
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: I mean you look at his numbers and say, ah, well,

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 4: losing a guy that averages eight points a game and

158
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: nineteen minutes a game for the season with an injury, Yeah,

159
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: it probably doesn't matter a lot, but he's a pretty

160
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: big component to what they do, particularly from behind the arc.

161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah he was. That's a heartbreaker too, because LJ is

162
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: a terrific young man and a great player. And the

163
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: problem that they have as a national championship contender Michigan

164
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: is Elliott Cadeau a championship point guards good player, not

165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: saying that, but does he have that gear. He did

166
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: not make Carolina better in March the last couple of years,

167
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: and so I always was a little bit skeptical of that,

168
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: and I always loved LJS as a freshman as a backup,

169
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: and then this year as Elliott's backup he's been spectacular

170
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: at times. So when they played at Northwestern a couple

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: of weeks back, they were really poor the first twenty

172
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: to twenty five minutes and at a certain point Dusty

173
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: May said, that's it. Elliott enjoyed the bench, LJ take

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: us home, and they end up winning by a dozen points.

175
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: It came from twelve down or so to win by

176
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: a dozen. That was mostly LJ either scoring himself and

177
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: he did a bunch of that, or running the show.

178
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: And so they always had that as Okay, if this

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: doesn't work, we know, like we can go in a

180
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: moment's notice to the other direction. And that was always

181
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: going to be an ace for them that they had,

182
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: and now they can't play it. It's a shame for

183
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: the Wolverines, the rest of the team, and especially for.

184
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: LJ staying there up the talk with Duke, I mean

185
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: this duke team. It's hard to argue that this duke

186
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 4: team would be more talented than last year's duke team.

187
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: I mean two of the best rookies in the NBA

188
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: or from that from that duke team. But is this

189
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 4: duke team got as much potential as that one does

190
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: to win a national championship.

191
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: What is interesting about this duke team is that it

192
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: is not built to be as good defensively as last

193
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 3: year's team. Last year's team had Kaman Walla watch guarding

194
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: the middle. Come on, remember he didn't do a too

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: bad a job guarding the middle in Olympic games, you know,

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: with the with dream teamers and all the rest of

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: it out there, and and did he went and played

198
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 3: college and did fine and and really made them made

199
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: an impact at the rim. And now they exchanged that

200
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: for a terrific sophomore named Patrick Gangba. And Patrick is

201
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: a much more offensive oriented player, catches better, has more

202
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: moves than come on, did uh? And so? And then

203
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: you look at the power forward spot, where you had

204
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag who could block shots and defensive rebound and

205
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: move and guard three positions. And now you've got Cameron

206
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: Boozer who's not super mobile, not super electric getting off

207
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 3: the floor. And so somehow they went from being a

208
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: really terrific defensive team a year ago that ranked on

209
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: defense fifth in the nation outstanding, Right, they're better now

210
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: they're number one in the country in defense. How does

211
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: that happen? I can't explain it, but I will say,

212
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: Cameron Boozer is always in the right place. He is

213
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: such a smart player, and he just chews up so

214
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: much space. Yeah that it's even with when Gongbo was down,

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: it was hard for teams to move against them. Gongo

216
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: gives them. Although not a great defensive player, he's a six'

217
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: eleven center who can take a shot down every now and.

218
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: Then but they just couldn't move Against boozer out there

219
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 3: pretty much. Alone it's he's an amazing player and an

220
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: underrated defender because he doesn't look like you, know he

221
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: doesn't move like a. Defender you, know he's Not Dennis

222
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: rodman out. There but he really makes a, difference and.

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 5: He's done a great job getting the line.

224
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: Recently And i've been impressed With Boozer's he's a good

225
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: passer for.

226
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: A oh yeah forward. Man, yeah that's what makes them

227
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: go offensively because they don't really play a true point.

228
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Guard their circumstances is similar to a year. Ago they

229
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: didn't have a true point, guard so they had to

230
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: move the guys. Around Caleb foster is a really terrific

231
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: college basketball, player and he makes a difference on. Defense

232
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: he's six to, five he's, strong and he's great against the.

233
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: Ball Caden boozer is a point, guard but they haven't

234
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: gone to. Him they haven't decided that they want to

235
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: go in that. Direction they decided that they're going to

236
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: go with the more veteran group Plus, cameron and it's

237
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: really works for, them.

238
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: No question about.

239
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 4: IT i, mean they have been incredibly, impressive winning the

240
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: last six games in a. Row maybe the hottest team

241
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 4: in college. Basketball mike De coursey joining us brought to

242
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: you By Northwest Handling systems on a weekly. Basis, mike

243
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: This kansas team for the last three years is gonna

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: be three years in a row where they didn't come

245
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 4: close to winning The Big twelve. Championship prior to, That

246
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: Bill self had, won won or shared sixteen of the

247
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: last Seventeen Big twelve. Championships so is it the Revamped

248
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: Big twelve the additions of teams Like arizona that's more affecting,

249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: that or is the NIL era not Treating Bill self

250
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: And kansas as well as it's treating the rest of the.

251
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: Conference, well the competition has definitely gotten. Better houston And

252
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: arizona coming in the league has made it much more

253
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: challenging to win there's no doubt about. That but it's

254
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: also a function Of bill trying to navigate this. Era

255
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: he made some decisions in terms of nil acquisitions the

256
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: previous couple of years that were definitely not in the

257
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: right interests Of. Kansas the one thing That bill has

258
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: always done better than any coach is developed. Guys every coach,

259
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 3: Has every great, Coach hall Of fame coach has their

260
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: superpower And skryshevsky it was getting guys to play as a.

261
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: Team In calaperi's, case it was getting guys to play

262
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: without who are draft, picks to play without, Ego not

263
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: to worry about my, stats you'll get to the. League

264
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: just go out and. Win and With, calhoun it was.

265
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: Scouting nobody ever scouted better Than. Calhoun he'd go out

266
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: and sign somebody that was seventy fifth in the country

267
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: and the next thing you, know they're the first round

268
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: or first round. Pick he did that a. Lot that

269
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: was his great, strength and For bill it was developing.

270
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: Players Frank mason comes in one hundred and fifty in

271
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: his class or. Whatever over four years he becomes A

272
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: National player of The. Year Devonte graham offered by App

273
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: state and basically no one else decides to get out

274
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: of that, commitment goes To kansas and becomes a first

275
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: Team All american in three. Years that happened a lot for,

276
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: him and when it became about nil and the transfer

277
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: portal and all, that he started getting more guys for

278
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: the fast, fix and it hasn't. Worked you add in

279
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: much as trouble As peterson has, been adding him To

280
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: Florie badunga at center has really made them more, talented

281
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: but still with the, youth still with the opportunity to.

282
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: Develop and then he's brought in some transfers who are

283
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: much better fits For kansas basketball than some of the

284
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: guys he had in the. Past Trey white's done a nice.

285
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: Job Melbourne council has been, fantastic coming in From Saint

286
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: bonaventure and being there the starting point guard that they

287
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: didn't think they'd. Need they thought that the ball would

288
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: be In peterson's hands all the, time but because he wasn't,

289
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: there they couldn't play like. That so they gave it

290
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: To council and he took it and started passing it

291
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: along and his averaging five. Assists SO i think he's

292
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: done better with with this this. Year but The peterson

293
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: thing as strange as it, is missed eleven, games burying,

294
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: injuries some things that we kind of haven't seen before

295
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,280

Speaker 3: terrific AND i Think arizona is better definitely Than Iowa.

312
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: State BUT i also would have said that About, houston

313
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: and they were for thirty five, minutes and in the,

314
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: End Iowa state found a. Way the fact that it's

315
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: In arizona very interesting to see whether I Always state

316
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: can manage a great effort on the. Road that that's

317
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: something that case. States excuse, Me Iowa state has had

318
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: a terrific, year but most of what they've done that's

319
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: really been a plus level has been At Hilton. Coliseum

320
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: they haven't had that great road win. Yet they've had,

321
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 3: some but they haven't had that defining road win yet

322
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: that that would really separate. Them so this is that

323
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: this is a big shot for them to see if

324
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: they can get. It BUT i just love This arizona.

325
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: TEAM i love the fact that you can go out

326
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: on the floor with pro prospects and have and have five,

327
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: guys four guys that are averaging double five guys excuse,

328
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: me that are averaging double figure. Scoring that you can

329
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 3: have a team that that has three freshmen that are,

330
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: starting that has two freshmen among the top three, scorers

331
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 3: and no apparent concern about. That they just. Play they

332
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: don't worry about who's doing the. Scoring they just play to.

333
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: Win one of the really interesting THINGS i discovered about

334
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: them a week ago that THAT i talked about on

335
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: THE fs one Program Big Time. Hoops they Are the

336
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: last TIME i, looked they were three hundred and ninety.

337
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: Second excuse, me three hundred and sixty. Second there's only

338
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: three hundred and there's only three hundred and sixty, five

339
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: so no one can be three hundred and ninety. Second

340
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: they were three hundred and sixty second in the percentage

341
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: of their shots that were three. Pointers they just almost

342
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 3: never do. It and most teams that do that that, like,

343
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: No i'm not shooting from out. There it's because they're

344
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: bad at. It you don't want to do what you don't.

345
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: Do but they're good at. It they RANK i think

346
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: eighty fifth in accuracy out of three hundred and sixty,

347
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: something so it's not the best at, it but really. Good,

348
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: Yeah and they just almost never do. It and SO

349
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: i talked to them about like why is, That why

350
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: do you take so few? Threes and they, said, well

351
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,760

354
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: those things that they kind of a lot don't get

355
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: to option too as much as some.

356
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: Others they don't need to kick it out because they're

357
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,800

Speaker 4: a league that has gone in the last let's, See

405
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,359

406
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 4: two billion to five point nine, billion to seven point

407
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: four billion to eight to eight point eight and then

408
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: projected at being this year at fourteen point three. LIVABLE i,

409
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,080

Speaker 5: YEARS i believe.

412
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,639

413
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: narrative here in town that doesn't match the reality of the.

414

Speaker 4: trying to win or they because he hadn't checked the,

467
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: standings you, know like they try.

468
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 5: To win or they're.

469
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: Not that's a problem when somebody is aware enough of

470
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 4: the league and what's going on in the league to

471
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: ask that question whether a team is trying to win

472
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: a game or.

473
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 7: Not, yeah that's not helping, anybody AND i get. It you,

474
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 7: know you have a league that does revenue. Sharing there's

475
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 7: not a big financial penalty to, tanking and if your

476
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 7: goal is to, win then, basketball more than any of

477
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: the other major, sports is one where you can be

478
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 7: one player away from turn it. AROUND i, mean we

479
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 7: saw The angels Have Mike trout And Shohey otani on

480
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 7: their team at the same time and not be able

481
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 7: to do. Anything and in, basketball one great player can

482
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 7: completely change the trajectory of your. Team Lebron James is

483
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 7: last year in his first stint In, CLEVELAND i think

484
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 7: they won sixty seven. Games they ran out the same

485
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 7: roster the next year without him in won nineteen. Games

486
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 7: you're not going to see a football player be worth that.

487
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 7: Much you're not going to see a baseball player be

488
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 7: worth that, much but you can in. Basketball SO i

489
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 7: understand wanting to, tank but it is so bad on

490
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 7: a macro level for the. League they need to put

491
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 7: in some sort of. Safeguard the lottery was supposed to do.

492
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 7: That it hasn't changed a.

493
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 5: Thing do you think they should just go to THE nfl?

494
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 5: Model when you do the worst, team you're the worst.

495
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 8: Team, No, well you COULD i don't think.

496
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 4: Tell THE nba model where you could put Multiple like,

497
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: you it's a multiple. Season you have to suck for

498
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 4: multiple seasons to get that number one draft.

499
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: PICK i like.

500
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: THAT i like anything that mitigates waving the white flag

501
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 7: when you have people paying a lot of money.

502
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: To watch you.

503
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 7: PLAY i like the idea of you don't get to

504
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 7: have a top five pick in consecutive.

505
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 8: Years that was one idea That i've.

506
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 7: Floated you, KNOW i think as, fans we like the

507
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 7: idea of have these, players you, know take the bottom eight,

508
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 7: teams let's, say and have them play their own playoffs

509
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 7: to determine who gets the number one. Seed players don't

510
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 7: want that. Player players aren't trying to win. Well and,

511
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 7: also you, know even if you just cut it off

512
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 7: the bottom eight teams with you, know ten games ago

513
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 7: or what however you want to do, It even if

514
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 7: it didn't necessarily mean more, games these guys aren't going

515
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 7: to play to have a better chance of being, replaced

516
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 7: you know WHAT i. Mean SO i don't think that

517
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 7: works on a functional, level but they got to do

518
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 7: something because you're, right the lottery. Backfired now there's more teams, saying,

519
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 7: well there is a chance we get a top three.

520
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: Pick, now this, sport, though is so it's so highlight

521
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 4: driven and is so superstar.

522
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: Driven that's the.

523
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 4: One that's the one THING i notice the, change especially

524
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: the from the young audience with this sport versus say THE.

525
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: Nfl the superstars in THE, nba at least in the

526
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 4: group of kids THAT i, know are every, bit if

527
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: not more popular than the superstars in THE.

528
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 7: Nfl, OH i would be shocked if they weren't more. Popular,

529
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: yes they're so much more. Accessible they're not wearing a,

530
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 7: helmet you know what they look. Like you go to a,

531
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 7: game those arenas are much, smaller you're much closer to,

532
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 7: it and they got the ball in their hands all. That,

533
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 7: like the great players are a bigger part of the

534
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: game than the rest of the.

535
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 5: Players and then the.

536
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,119

565
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 7: league AND i really really hope that we get our

566
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 7: exposure to that on personal.

567
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 4: Level, Again so when we, do do you feel like

568
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: the crapping on the league from maybe it's a vocal

569
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 4: minority To seattle sports, fans but it is a sizable.

570
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: Percentage do you think it will? End do you think

571
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: the crapping on the league will? End and the whole

572
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: THE nba? SUCKS i hate. IT i don't watch.

573
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: It it's a terrible.

574
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: Product all that which we know is not the case

575
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: and the numbers tell us it's not the.

576
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 5: Case, well you do you think the at least that

577
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: narrative will then?

578
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 7: END i think for a lot of folks it. Will,

579
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 7: yeah but THE nba has to Give seattle fans a

580
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 7: reason to not hate, it because they haven't in eighteen. Years,

581
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 7: right they gave them a great reason to hate. It

582
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 7: and so you know the criticism of well the game

583
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 7: was so much better thirty years.

584
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: Ago or what do you think of that?

585
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 7: NARRATIVE i THINK i think that that would start to

586
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 7: fade with with regular exposure to the MODERN.

587
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 8: Nba it is a very different, game for.

588
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 7: Sure but when you hear pe talk about the things

589
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 7: that they love about. It it's the stuff about the

590
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: league in the eighties and.

591
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 8: Nineties that survived.

592
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 7: It it's just like when you say the music in

593
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 7: the eighties was better, now the music that survived the

594
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 7: eighties is better than.

595
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 5: All you, know the music great.

598
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 7: terrible music, Now but there's great music.
