00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: It's RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet Alliance

00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: o'clock against the UCF Nights. For more, let's go straight

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: to the scene. On the scene covering the Bearcats for

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: the Inquirer Cincinnati dot Com. He has stopped the presses

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: for conversation with me. That would be Scott Springer. How

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: are you.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: Good?

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: They got the media spread out and there's it's like

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: the green flies all over the place right now, and

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: I'm not getting any But I'll wait because I still

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: got to finish my work and talk to you.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: So, uh, we'll get to the food. Come here for food,

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: you know, No, No, I can't.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 4: Find that hard to believe.

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: With members you sing the type you see him, they're here.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 4: The old saying is uh survive in advance.

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: It looked through like the first fifteen minutes of the

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: game they weren't going to survive or advance, and then

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: they found a way.

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: Didn't do that all the first few minutes fifteen to six,

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: you're down and you're going okay, here's gonna make the

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: off run to get these guys going, and they don't

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: look like they want to be here.

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: Then suddenly they turned into the team, and you figure

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: one this game with the talent at all, and they rebound,

28
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: they running it. I think after the first million time

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: out they were bound on the.

30
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 5: Barge like twelve before and with all that height, and

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: they're still down in the end, they rebound in forty

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 5: to thirty seven and they make the comeback with the defense,

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 5: and you know, unlike the case of the game, you

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 5: got production from your great manage.

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: You have double double.

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: From Bio and Miller Loving plays fourteen rebounds at thirteen

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: for him this year and missed off with Tom had

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: fourteen points and ten rebounds, and Jalen Celestine makes five

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: threes nineteen points season high for him. If you're looking

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: at this as a trade with Baylor at this point,

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: you think in the ed Cincinnati.

42
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Boy, you you mentioned Selenstein in nineteen and he reaches

43
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: a thousand points for his career. I went back in and

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: looked in this stretch where they won seven of nine.

45
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: He's averaging thirteen points a game. He's given them a

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: nice boost. Has any offensively.

47
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he's just got to talk to set

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: when he's up and you almost feel like that.

49
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Now, not everybody give to that feeling, trust me, is

50
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: so smooth.

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Scott, we're gonna go. You gotta sell. It's

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a little bit wonkey. I'm gonna have Russ call you

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: right back. Russ give us got a call back, and

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: we'll get a better sell there because it cleared up

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: for a second that it dropped off. We'll getting back

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: from Kansas City. Seventy three sixty six the final. They

57
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: fell behind by nine in the first half. They missed

58
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: their first five free throws of the game, then went

59
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: on a twelve nothing run to end the half to

60
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: lead by nine. So they were down by nine in

61
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the first half. They finished the half up by nine.

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: The lead got to fifteen in the second half. It

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: was cut down to four with about sixty five seconds

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: to go, but the Bearcats hold off. You tossed seventy

65
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: three sixty six. Take on the eight seed UCF Knights tomorrow.

66
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Last time they faced each other, Bearcats won by twenty

67
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: ninety two to seventy two. Today, Bearcats dough dish out

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: fifteen assists just seven turnovers. There we go. We got

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: a better connection with him were you left off with Selenstein.

70
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: And just the contributions he's made offensively of late.

71
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, just the confidence you have when he's opened for

72
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: a three. It's just a smooth looking shot and you

73
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: feel pretty good about it. And I wasn't taken necessarily

74
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: a dig at Dan Skillings. But if you were to

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 3: look at this as a trade with Baylor, you go

76
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: edge Cincinnati at this point because Baylor just went home today.

77
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: So Lastine and the guys have another day and shots

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: looking good, and he gets a thousand points. And there's

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: three or four of the Bearcats that a brief set

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: marked this year, Miller and Jizsel and also a Dave Thomas.

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: He didn't get a whole lot out of the guards today,

82
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: but you never know in this game, and it might

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: be their day tomorrow.

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: And it's HUCF.

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: Though massafha Chom typically plays good against his old team.

86
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: Scott the If you he didn't fall, if you were watching,

87
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: if you didn't listen, if you didn't follow, you may

88
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: look in the box score and see Seana Bayeb and

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: not think much.

90
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: But I thought the twelve minutes he gave especially.

91
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think the last game he came in,

92
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: he hit the three, then was taken out almost immediately.

93
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: He gave him twelve minutes and I think he went

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: they were plus twelve with him on the court.

95
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: He helped them today exact.

96
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he looked pretty good.

97
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: I mean in the first half, I think he gave

98
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: him minutes and he had five rebounds. He finishes with

99
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: six rebounds on the day he hits the one three.

100
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, it looks a little bit more. It's kind

101
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: of different than he did before. Before he was kind of,

102
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: you know, doing fadeaway threes and now he's looking to

103
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: pass and so it looks like he has a better

104
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: rounded game.

105
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: And you know, he's still a freshman.

106
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: That not every freshman is Darren Peterson or Davonta from BYU.

107
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: They're all here.

108
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: I mean, one of the things that the commissioner said

109
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: today was, I don't know who the first round pick

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: is going to be in the end, but it's gonna

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: be from the big.

112
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: Twelve, and very well could be. There's a lot of them.

113
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: All right, give me what what what where was your

114
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: vantage point and what did you make of the floor

115
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: The floor the much talked about floor.

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: Well, fortunately in these deals I get to sit toward side,

117
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: so that's great for me because my eyes aren't the

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: best and and I can see a lot more.

119
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: My hearing's great. I can hear great things.

120
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Uh So I thought I saw some slippage, but you know, hey,

121
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: everybody's playing on it.

122
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: It sounds like they're going to.

123
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Go out there with a pick and and and take

124
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 3: this thing off because a couple of guys slips. So

125
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: the floor's here to say, now, I did go upstairs

126
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: for the long range view. It's on one of my

127
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: ex posts from earlier today. But uh, up top it

128
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: looks really great and you can see the different advertisements

129
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: and the team logos, and I guess when one player

130
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: is shooting a free throw on the other end, they

131
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: put the stats up.

132
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: And I was.

133
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: Told by someone, if you go up for the national anthem,

134
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: it's really really cool.

135
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I'm gonna have time enough

136
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: to do that or not.

137
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I guess that's the upside of getting a

138
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: cheap seat today.

139
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: The floor looks better the closer you get.

140
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: You don't get to see all the bells and whistles,

141
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: but the player said, you know, so Lesine said, it's

142
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: like you notice it, but then once you get going,

143
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: every one of us has played on concrete or a

144
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: hard wood or a grass or wherever. It's just basketball,

145
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: and you're into the game.

146
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: So next up tomorrow, three o'clock. You see F last

147
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: time they met, just recently. You see wins by twenty

148
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: ninety two, seventy two, and they get yet another crack

149
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: at them to survive, try to survive in advance.

150
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: Well, and you see, it's.

151
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: Kind of like you see in a way, there's been

152
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: times where they look like they can beat everybody, and

153
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: then there's been times.

154
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: Where they look like they can lose to anyone.

155
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: And the game in Orlando was Nippin Tuck and Pam

156
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: and Miller hit us out with thirty seconds to go.

157
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: But it was famous, folks. I believe they made this

158
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: out with fourteen seconds. And then you see had another chance.

159
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: They should have grove to the ram and they adapted

160
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: for a three, lost by one, and then the second game,

161
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: as I mentioned, a twenty point blowout. So but you see,

162
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: F has had some tremendous wins and then some very

163
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: curious losses. So it sounds familiar. I think they're probably

164
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: in already based on their resume. You see, still has

165
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: work to do. So maybe that's the edge of you

166
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: see needs because you know.

167
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: You really got to win, and then if.

168
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: You win, you're playing Arizona, and you know, who knows

169
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: what happens there.

170
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: I could beat the Arizona you're surely and at.

171
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: That point, but there's a lot of things that can

172
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 3: happen between now and then. Because basketball spunky and March

Speaker 1: you can do six thirty, that'd be great. Otherwise we

202
