00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: my Huskies have a thirty point lead throughout most of

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: the second half, and maybe it was closer in the

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty range for most of it, I will

28
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: play it cool. If it gets under eight, then maybe

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720

Speaker 2: of course Venable, San Josey. Let me call that.

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question really quick. The Yukon

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: hat is off, the Fox Sports Radio hat is on.

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: But you you're a guy who likes college hoops. You know,

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: no disrespect, but your alma mater is no longer? Does

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: it Yukon Duke Sunday feel bigger than you than Michigan

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: State Duke?

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: Or is that just total Yukon homrism? Might be a

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: bit of homersm and and recency. Like if you're saying,

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: because I get into my Big Ten, okay, because that's

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: the thing, right, I can only take the Big Ten

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: hat off so much fair because look, Northwestern, as much

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: as I love my guys, and and they've had some

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 2: good runs, and and Collins has you know, he they overachieved,

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: let's let's just call what it is that on the

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: grand scale, I'm not getting a lot of March basketball, right,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: So I get a win or two maybe in the

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: Big Ten tournament, we get excited and then we move on.

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: But then you celebrate what the conference is. And that's

62
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: the way I've always been since I was a student

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: at Northwestern. And one of the things that I sold

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 2: people at admissions when I was trying to get into

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: the school, because I talked about Northwestern as a Big

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: Ten school now in nineteen ninety one, that was a

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: pretty bold proposition to kind of put it as sure,

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: network of course you're reading the room when someone's got

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of football pictures. Yeah, I've given you all

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: of these interview tips, folks. So take the train up

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: from our south Side house up to Evanston, go and

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: have the in person interview. And as you're sitting there

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: like that's part of the appeal, right, is that the

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: largess of and the community of that Big Ten conference,

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: And that hasn't waned. Sure I had always there except

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: for Illinois. I still find it hard to root for Illinois.

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: Your team Iowa tomorrow, you're wearing your your hawkeye like

78
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: corn hat tomorrow.

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: I may have. I don't think I have one of those,

80
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: but I know we have a pair of ac earl shoes.

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: My younger brother has on his mantle. I'm sure Iowa

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: Sam could help you out. So what we had did

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: he actually go to Iowa just embraced the state. See,

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I actually do.

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: Think he went to Iowa. I'm not one hundred percent posse.

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: There you go, there's one of our research facts after

87
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: all these years. They just well because he's just kind

88
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: of embraced the state. So you never never really knew

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: which school. But and they've never been good enough for

90
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: us to actually go down the rabbit hole of like, so,

91
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: what's your favorite Iowa memory from when you were a

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: student there.

93
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we are going back to nineteen ninety nine

94
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: or nineteen eighty seven at this point. Sure that the

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: most like Roy Marble and Less Jepsen and guys like

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: that that were running around. But I had relatives that

97
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: were in Iowa, my dad's brother and his family, so

98
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: they decided that they would send us Iowa gear Like

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: that was kind of like holiday is so growing up

100
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: we randomly would have Iowa. So we had their connection

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: because their kids actually went to Iowa State. Oh Okay,

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: but yet the Hawkeys because of the golden black, I

103
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: mean it looks cool. Yeah, so we had some of

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: that going around, and they were always a team we followed.

105
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: The players were always cool. Doctor Tom was great to

106
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: just talk basketball and fandom and everything when when they'd

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: come to Evanston and we'd go up there, so you know,

108
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: little correspondence to whatever. So there's always that special place

109
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: in the heart. But you know, all of it said,

110
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: you know, Northwestern got my money, so they're first and foremost,

111
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: followed by those Santa Clara Broncos who still got screwed

112
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: going back to around. They got all of that to say,

113
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: we got Yukon and Michigan State going already Yukon with

114
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: that four point lead early. I'll just warn folks, if

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: he does go down and Aaron goes down the Arnie

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: Spaniel role, we may be talking about tiger woods, we

117
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: may be talking about exorbitant soft drink prices and cups

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: and whatever. And if you just suddenly starts screaming, you'll

119
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: know something has happened in that game. Was he doing it? Yeah,

120
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: and was like way ahead of you or way behind.

121
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: It was a few seconds behind virtually the entire time.

122
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: That sounds very typical Arnie spinning. And then when he

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: would get ahead then it was bad like he had

124
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: that vacillating. So it was kind of funny as we go.

125
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: But we have two games in the books already here, Aaron,

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: and let's go to the first of them, the Duke

127
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: Blue Devils, with a five point win over the Johnnies,

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: some questionable coaching and on court decisions, and Rick Patino

129
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: and I had my grid up here, which was I

130
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: thought a kind of fun little little thing coming into

131
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen. We had four coaches at seventy plus two,

132
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: from sixty to seventy six, from fifty to sixty three,

133
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: from forty to fifty, and then little old John Shire

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: over there at thirty eight years old. He takes down

135
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: seventy three year old Rick Patino in this game. And

136
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: first thing, you and I in the hallways like all right,

137
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: here's this, here's this. You had a situation where it's

138
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: clear you're going to fall, and you let seventeen seconds

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: run off off the clock before you're finally called for

140
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: an off the ball file on a hold and a

141
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: jersey tug away from the ball, and I thought his

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: head was gonna explode. Have you ever seen the movie

143
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Inside Out? It's one of the newer picture picture so

144
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's the old The old thing was. Fox

145
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: had a show many years ago called Herman's Head I've

146
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: heard of live action, right, So you know you had

147
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: people that were acting out as the emotions inside out

148
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: is the cartoon version of that in a a young

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: girl's mind as she's going through adolescents and and dealing

150
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: with the world around her. So you've got anger, you've

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: got fear, you've got sadness, you've got all this chaos.

152
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: That was Lewis Black as anger with the stack blowing

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: right there. Okay, so you're screaming and you're losing your

154
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: mind and Rick Patino got a shade of red. I

155
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: guess it's humanly possible in that moment. But that was

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: a microcosm of what the second half became, because there

157
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: were a lot of questions, a lot of early shot clock,

158
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: three point chucking, and just getting out of sorts after

159
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: what was a really entertain, close knit first half.

160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: It was a it was a great first half. It

161
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: was a great second half, and I think they were

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: up by at one point. I think they went on

163
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: like a fifteen to one run early in the second half,

164
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: and so late in the game, I think where I

165
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: noticed it was it was about a minute left and

166
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: they were down by four and they were trying to

167
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: take threes. You know, they're running down the clock to

168
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: take threes, and it's like, guys, you don't have to

169
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: do this, Okay. So it was seventy seven, seventy two

170
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: with one twenty seven left. So they get the ball

171
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: with one twenty seven left, miss a three, get the

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: offensive rebound, miss a three, get a second offensive rebound call,

173
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: all the time out again, down five with one nineteen

174
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 3: to go.

175
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Mike, I listen.

176
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: One thing I try not to do here in this

177
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 3: like analyst role that we're in is not pretend that

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 3: I know more than the Hall of Fame coaches or

179
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 3: the players who do this every single day. But I've

180
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: been watching this sport of basketball long enough to know

181
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 3: that when you're down five with over a minute to go,

182
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: just attack the you know, do what Texas did last night.

183
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: They put pressure on the rim. They got that in one,

184
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: and then what it's Purdue do.

185
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: They put pressure on the rim, They get the put

186
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 3: back to win the game, and Saint John's is trying

187
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: to take all these threes. They eventually actually did hit one,

188
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: which is kind of crazy. They hit a two pointer.

189
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: Excuse me to cut it to three, But I just

190
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: thought there was probably about three or four things that

191
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: happened in the final minute, and forget the substitution patterns,

192
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: which we got four hours to talk about. That was

193
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: just like, this guy is a Hall of famer. He

194
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: knows more basketball than I'll He's forgotten more basketball in

195
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 3: the last ten minutes than I'll ever know. But this

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: is one oh one stuff that his team simply wasn't

197
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: ready for.

198
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, just some of the opportunities right as you say,

199
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: you're you're out at the three point arc, and the

200
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: offensive rebounding highly impressive, but in the end they were

201
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: gonna give you the lane. Yep, agree, right and not followed.

202
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Your point guard was getting good penetration all second half

203
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: and getting to and we saw it on the stretch

204
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: as well, and yet you're you're settling with that much time.

205
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot of possessions in a college basketball.

206
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: Game, and especially as the way you play defense too.

207
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: Get the quick bucket. You're an amazing defensive team. They've

208
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: been had trouble scoring all game long.

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we get into the upper seventies, finally tip

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: over to eighty eighty seventy five year final. So for

211
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: for Duke, they advanced, They got the scare early in

212
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: the tournament, and something we also talked about off air

213
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: as we're coming in was the idea of all right,

214
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna get healthy in theory and you finally start

215
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: seeing players back. Caleb Foster comes back, gives them nineteen minutes,

216
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: just one point, but when you can steal I'm sorry, Yeah,

217
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: he's five of eight from the field, had eleven as

218
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: my vision is blurry as I'm old, eleven, five of

219
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: eight from the field, three boards to assist, but valuable,

220
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: nineteen minutes and a nice hey, surprise, here's a guy

221
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: coming back a little earlier. And it's a larger thing

222
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: in college buckets where we're starting to see gamesmanship like

223
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: we have in the NFL, in bask in the NBA

224
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: and ever for well, the guy might go, I mean

225
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: not might be ready for the week, first week and

226
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: first weekends games might not. Foster was a late ad

227
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: to the surprise here he is, Yeah, Well, for me,

228
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: it was reverse gamesmanship because they've been saying all along,

229
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: those two guys could be ready to go, and I

230
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: think like you and I'm not trying to bracket shame

231
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: you here because we had the exact same final four,

232
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: but no, No, it's well, I mean, yeah, no, but

233
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: I I will readily admit that I do think that

234
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: I got in my head because they were pretty you know,

235
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: the two guys Caleb Foster and Patrick Gong but did

236
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: not play in the ACC tournament, but they said all

237
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: along it was precautionary and both could be back. Gongba

238
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: likely more back, more likely, more likely to come back

239
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: than Caleb Foster, and I got in my head. Well,

240
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it is games shit, and there's just

241
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: they're trying to throw us off the scent. And then

242
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: it's like Game one NCAA tournament, Siena. There's Patrick Gong

243
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: but coming off the bench Caleb Foster. Listen, I think

244
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: that one is a surprise. I mean, John Shier again,

245
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: you know what is one hundred percent? I don't know,

246
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: but he did say tonight he's like he hasn't played

247
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: five on five at all since the surgery. And you

248
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: know they talked to a lot in the post game

249
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: about him coming back three weeks after having a foot surgery.

250
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: So credit to Duke.

251
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: But again, I just I don't know that I believe

252
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: that both those guys were gonna play and they were

253
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: difference makers. Foster hit a bucket late that basically sealed

254
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 3: the win, and Saint John's is going home. Don't want

255
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: to discredit everything Duke did. But to your point earlier,

256
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: Mike Rick Pattino, I think is you know, had a

257
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: couple mistakes there at the end that I think he'd

258
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: like to have back.

259
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean you just go back to the beginning

260
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: of the tournament with with Duke and the the early scare,

261
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: and it's like, all right, which are we getting a refocus?

262
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: This was just Hey, everybody occasionally will get one of

263
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: those scares succeed and proceeed the old Calipari line. Ah, sorry,

264
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: he's gone too well, yeah he had a good run. Look,

265
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Smith's up upset because he's in New York and he's

266
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: like Jeron MCMI started going at well, but he started

267
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: going after because he picked Arkansas. Smith. Yeah, he had

268
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: them running big, so he was salty about that. But

269
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: you mentioned the effort also from from Gangba seventeen minutes,

270
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: three points. But again, if you're stealing extra minutes right

271
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: in a game that's a war of attrition, you know

272
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: what's gonna be battle kind of like we're gonna watch

273
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: this Yukon Michigan State game. It's like Michigan State's last game.

274

325
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: Tonight in his stead our guy Aaron Torres a happy

326
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: man as we get things rolled here continuing Hour one.

327
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: Thanks for being part of the extended family. Thanks to

328
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: the squad making us sound so pretty. We'll get an

329
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: update from Steve Disaga. This has been a very busy

330
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: day across the sporting landscape. We've been watching the ringing

331
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: ceremony from doc Stadium. There's some controversy related to show

332
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: Heyo Tani not the man himself don't worry. There's no

333
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: epay part two that we're aware of, but it's it's

334
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: certainly at the concession stands people are kind of mad.

335
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: We've got the Tiger Woods story, so much going on.

336
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: But Yukon as we come up on the midpoint of

337
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: the first half twenty one to six, Yeah, it's broken

338
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: out into a football game, which is very odd. I mean,

339
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: not that Michigan State's been a powerhouse there for a while,

340
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: but certainly the Yukon Huskies you don't normally expect such

341
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: great offensive prowess. Already five made three pointers, moving the

342
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: ball around the perimeter really well, finding the open man

343
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: and knocking down shots early to build a huge lead.

344
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: I will tell you I see so.

345
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: Sam Calhoun is the grandson of Jim Calhoun. He's a

346
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 3: student reporter for the school newspaper, says Michigan State has

347
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: not made a shot in the last seven forty five

348
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: of this game, oh for its last twelve. So Yukon,

349
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: which Steve de Seger has heard many of my rants

350
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: on Saturday nights, Uh.

351
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: This is this is about as I'll just say this.

352
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: This is as good as they have looked in twenty

353
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: twenty six, so long way to go. But I will

354
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: not pull an Arnie Spanner. I'm okay, if we're up

355
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: by twenty with six minutes to go or two minutes

356
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: to go, I'm not gonna be grunting in the background

357
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: pretending like there is a way that my opponent is

358
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 3: going to come back. I got a long way to

359
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: get to span Yourville in more ways than one, but

360
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: on this specific night, we got a long way to

361
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: go before I start, you know, counting my chickens and

362
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: preparing for Duke in the Elite eight.

363
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: I would say this, though, if you do the random grunting,

364
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: we can just set it up as a contest on

365
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: Fox Sports railing what the hell's going on with Torres? Well,

366
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: I think Fox Sports even win that one. Unfortunately. Well,

367
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying in terms of, you know, guessing what's

368
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: going on in your mind? Uh yeah, So that means

369
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Michigan State starting two of three looking good and then

370
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: oh for twelve, uh thereafter oh for four from the field.

371
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: They do have ten rebounds, so they've got that going.

372
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: When you miss a lot of shots, it does create

373
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: a lot of real you know, you gotta find something

374
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 2: in find your wins. As we love to say, Hey,

375
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: for over forty years, tire AT's been helping customers find

376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.

377
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: Ship fast and free back by free Road has a

378
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 2: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. That's right,

379
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: they'll bring the tires to you. Well, you watch basketball

380
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: tire ac dot com the way tire buying should be. Now.

381
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: The other game that's already in the books, the Michigan

382
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: Wolverines one of the heavy hitters, right. We talked about

383
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: that divide when you and I got together on Sunday,

384
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: those top three teams and all of the metrics against

385
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 2: the field and the Wolverines being up in the lofty

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: category ninety to seventy seven. The final here against Alabama,

387
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: we had a little bit of the controversy of well,

388
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: you're still in the legal processes, but hey, come on

389
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: down and be part of the Alabama contingent. All that,

390
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 2: but Michigan wins comfortably. This was a double digit lead

391
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: most of the second half. Alabama had a two point

392
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 2: lead in half, but Michigan with the spurt, ultimately outscored

393
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: them by fifteen in the second half, led by Landenborg.

394
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: Landenborg had twenty three, and then you got Gail and

395
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: McKenny accounting for thirty three points off the bench to

396
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: get them to a ninety seventy seven win. Comfortable and

397
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 2: cruising along as you know, the chalk of the field

398
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: holding it, holding serve here, no doubt.

399
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 3: You know, Alabama I thought early did what they could

400
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 3: was dictating tempo, shooting a lot of threes, making a

401
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: lot of threes. When you when you miss threes, there's

402
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 3: long rebounds. They were kind of playing their game, and

403
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: I you know, Dusty May's got that very like presidential

404
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: aura to them of just you know, kind of calm whatever.

405
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: And you you know, he did get mad before the

406
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: half because the Daimra put up a shot when they

407
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: should have saved held for the last shot. But I

408
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: only bring because this was a game where Michigan just

409
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: kind of leaned on we're bigger, we're more physical, we're

410
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: tougher than you. And I'll say that was not only

411
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: a weakness of Alabama all year. You know, I'm sure

412
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: you guys didn't talk about it too much because I

413
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: don't know on a national scale how big of a

414
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: story it became. But the whole Charles Bettiaco signing a

415
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: guy out of the G league thing. It was because

416
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: they had no big guys.

417
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, And finally it was huge for Yes, let's

418
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 2: test and I don't blame any coach, any administrator right

419
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: now because the rules are so ill defined. That was

420
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: Alabama's stance. Yes, right, but they're so ill defined. It's like,

421
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: tell me definitively, where in anything we've passed in your

422
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: rule book it says we can't at least try this.

423
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: Well, that one was a little different because he had

424
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: declared for the draft and stayed in the draft. But

425
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: that to your point, though, the rules are so vague

426
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: that they were going to push boundaries. But it only

427
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: got to that point because they were so thin in

428
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: the front court and they had injuries, and so this

429
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: was one Mike, I don't know how far you have

430
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: Michigan going or what. Actually I do know how far

431
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: you have Michigan going because we have the same foutal four.

432
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: That's it. But this was one that I always thought.

433
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 3: As good as Alabama looked in that late game on Sunday,

434
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: I thought this was going to be a tough matchup

435
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: for them. It was Michigan I think is right up

436
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: there with Dare I say, Arnie Spaniards Arizona Wildcats is

437
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: the best team left in this tournament, and they looked

438
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: the part, especially in the second half.

439
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 2: Fourteen more points in the paint. Talk about the ability

440
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: to dominate in that regard. They also want I had

441
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: a twelve point advantage in fast break points and if

442
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: only they hit free throws, they would have been that

443
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: much further ahead. Eleven of twenty who Duke missed the bag.

444
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: I got a really bad shoulder, and I might be

445
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: able to get myself. You know, I'd go underhand b

446
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: Barry Stout.

447
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: But you know, so eleven of twenty Duke was fifteen

448
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: of twenty four. So just something to monitor as we

449
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: get into two Sunday, is you got to make your

450
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: free throw. I mean, Saint John's should not have that

451
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: game should have been over two possessions before. But uh,

452
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: Duke kept missing free throws, kept missing the front end

453
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: of free throws.

454
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: And it was what it was, leaving the door open.

455
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: It's funny because you know, I grabbed just some random

456
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: metrics for these four games today. For the Michigan State

457
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: Yukon game, they were pretty similar in pretty much every category.

458
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: It's agile, negligible difference, field goal percentage, all these The

459
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: only big advantage Yukon had is about a five percent

460
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: free throw really advantage. I'm like, all right, this game

461
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: plays out as it's expected to. It was a one

462
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: and a half point spread the last I had looked

463
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: this morning that all right, if it's coming down to

464
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: the wire, they're better at the lines, So we'll see

465
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: if that works. It would mean that my cool headline

466
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: of you know, Danny Hurley's worst fears, Oh, I would

467
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: not come to fruid. Look, we all got cute and

468
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: our wordplay twenty five to ten right now in this one,

469
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: we've got Arizona and the Dodgers going. I mean, we've

470
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: got the Lakers are playing tonight and as we know

471
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: from our guy Justin Frosberg, executive producer, the Lakers are back,

472
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: just so you know, and bit another big opportunity here,

473
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: but for the tournament as a whole, as we hit

474
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 2: the rewind looking at the results of yesterday, all those

475
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 2: big ten teams creeping through some officiating moments I think

476
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: would be the kindway the obvious brain freeze by the

477
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 2: staff head coach on down of Nebraska in the there's

478
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: four guys on the court moment, which we've never seen.

479
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: Hoiberger asked about it from a rule perspective, He's like,

480
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, never been in this situation. If they're six,

481
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: it's an obvious technical. But you know, we watched it

482
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: in Hoosiers. My team's on the court. Who's the same

483
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: the mayor? Oh no, we saw the guy sprinting, doing

484
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: everything he could. I thought he was just gonna run

485
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: under the court and see if they paid attention. All

486
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna say was I saw a lot of

487
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: Twitter referees. You know, all the experts hang out on

488
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: Twitter all day. I saw a lot of Twitter referees

489
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: saying that it was the obligation of the referee to

490
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: let the coach know. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard,

491
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: And I will trust.

492
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: Fred Hoiberg, who literally played in the NBA and coached

493
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: in the NBA, has spent his entire life around basketball.

494
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: If he said that, at best, he's not sure. At worst,

495
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: the refs are not obligated to I'm gonna trust them

496
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: over you know, Jim Bob six five seven on Twitter.

497
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: So obligated to say, are you sure? I don't think

498
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: so exactly? Does that not show favoritism to another team

499
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: and create a different advance like would be my argument.

500
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: The counter to it, right is that you fell asleep

501
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: at the wheel, right. NFL teams run plays with ten

502
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: guys all the time, nobody saying, hey, you want to

503
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: send in another defensive bags like that advantage to us?

504
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: Or the twelfth guy hasn't gotten off the field before

505
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: the snap? What letter versus spirit? Right? If he's a

506
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: hulking defensive lineman who's lumbering towards the sideline, but he

507
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: doesn't get off the field, technically he's still on the field.

508
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: We've seen people hide players on the sidelines to then

509
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 2: throw them passes. Like there's lots of chicanery and chaos

510
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: that can go on to that. But we go back

511
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: last night also the Purdue game, which I thought was

512
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: an interesting and curious as to your thoughts on that, Aaron,

513
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: When we had on one end the and one and

514
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: the foul call on the Boilermakers big man, it looked

515
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: like he was just kind of there for the ride.

516
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: If you want to call the reach, I would have understood,

517
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: But calling the big man who's just kind of there

518
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: for the and one seems silly. And then the tip

519
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: in is a clear push in the back. And then

520
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: some and again big ten apologists like, wow, they let

521
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: that go. They called that soft file on the other end.

522
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: And then this guy's got his forearm in his back

523
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 2: and pushing him under the basket to get his leverage

524
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: to tap it in, and you just got a let

525
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: him play.

526
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 3: On two things on that one. It's really funny that

527
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: you frame it in that exact way. I have a buddy,

528
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 3: so I'm hosting a survivor pool. I have a buddy

529
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: who picked Purdue last night and was like, why exactly

530
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: what you said? Why is some stuff nickel dime and

531
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: some stuff is you know, I don't want to quite

532
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: call it two hands to the face because Vokatitis did

533
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: get called for the elbow to two different faces early

534
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: in the game.

535
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: They did, and then he wasn't on the court that

536
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: as well, So another one of those what are we

537
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 2: doing here?

538
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and so what was the first? Oh, but

539
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 3: yes to the shove in the back. So here's the thing, Mike,

540
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: I was.

541
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: I was one of the early Zach Edy refereeing is

542
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: a clown show.

543
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: I was.

544
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: I was like the original guy on that and so now,

545
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: no matter I could say Matt Painter is the best

546
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: basketball coach in the history of basketball, and Purdue fans

547
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: would come at me, well, what about the rest of sports?

548
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 3: He's oh, yeah, Like, no matter what I say about Purdue,

549
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 3: they think that I hate them. So I just stayed

550
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: out of that discourse except when I was doing interviews

551
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: or on the show like this.

552
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't.

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: I didn't get into that online discourse. It looked like

554
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: a pretty clear shove in the back to me which

555
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 3: allowed the tip in which ultimately allowed the victory for

556
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: Purdue to advance to the.

557
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,840

Speaker 2: The other games of last night, as we spin it back,

564
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: you had Iowa and Nebraska. We talked about the four

565
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: on the floor gaff there and what's again. I mean,

566
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: it's like the Darius Caspariitis is one of my favorite references,

567
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: one of the great agitators of the National Hockey League. Right,

568
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: So we see the same thing with what's always the

569
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: same guy in the in the middle of these plays,

570
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: but you know, a card fought win. It's cool to

571
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: see Jared Koch's kid, who was on you know, the

572
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: the nineties team that had a good run, and he's

573
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: the guy making all the passes his son Cooper. So

574
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: you're getting that and all of that. You know, for

575
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: for the Big Ten, you knew you had the the

576
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: top heavy and certainly with Michigan expectations, Michigan State had

577
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: a great year, but question marks Purdue Matt Pater We

578
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: talked about it last week, you and I about scheduling

579
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: when it came to the Miami Ohio and all of

580
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: the fights, just saying, look, we've done a good job

581
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: of putting ourselves into a seeding situation unlike anybody else.

582
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: Nine straight years top four seed, which advantageous in terms

583
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: of your draw and how you can can push forward.

584
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: But to see Iowa, now that sea word keeps coming out. Yes,

585
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: everybody wants to grab it. We just want to put

586
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: a shoe on somebody. Oh yeah, what did you think

587
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: I meant? It's a family.

588
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: Well, first I thought you meant choke, and then choke

589
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: I thought you And I was like, maybe he's talking

590
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: about Nebraska. But no, Yes, everyone is desperate. Ferst Cinderella.

591
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: She didn't show up this year.

592
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: It's okay. Texas is not a Cinderella. Iowa is not

593
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: a Cinderella. Keep going. I just took the tournament off,

Speaker 2: in the sporting universe with our guy, the legend himself

600
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: at Steve de Saga. What's going on? Steve?

601
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: Hello, gentlemen, You were talking about playing a team playing

602
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 5: shorthanded for the final seconds there, and it did remind

603
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: me I had read more than once in youth basketball history.

604
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 5: There was I believe a high school game because of foulouts.

605
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 5: It was five against four and then five against three.

606
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: And two and five against one, and the ball went

607
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: out of bounds late in the game and the guy

608
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 5: who was the one, Yeah, what do they do when

609
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 5: he threw it off somebody's leg and ran in it,

610
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: got it?

611
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly good strategy. There you go.

612
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: Yukon is leading Michigan State twenty seven to fourteen about

613
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 5: six minutes to go in the first half of their

614
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen matchup in Washington, d C. Connecticut led twenty

615
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 5: five to six after ten minutes, so one Aaron Torres,

616
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: of course the show has his complete attention because this

617
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 5: game is as Billy Packer once said, ova, I believe

739
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: of the first two games of a season. It's the

740
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: twentieth time a team is opened a season throwing two

741
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: straight shutouts. Only two of the previous nineteen extended that

742

Speaker 2: for a third for a third game twenty sixteen Dodgers,

743

744
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: very good and that's one to grow on. Now. Earlier today,

745
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: and it's funny. I'm making note try and just scrawling

746
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: things out, having a cup of coffee, kids off to school,

747
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: walk the dog, all that, have something playing in the background,

748
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: and you just start scribbling notes. And Tiger Woods was

749
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: off in like quadrant four in very small font of

750
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: all right in Trump says he knows whether he's gonna

751
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: play in the Masters or not. So it's like, all right,

752
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: is that a topic? Hey, Tiger Woods? Does he still

753
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: move the needle? Does it still get you excited to

754
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: hear that he might give it the old college try

755
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: to at least go out for a round or two

756
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: before missing a cut. Whatever the other was. He got

757
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: back into simulation golf earlier this week, looking like a

758
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 2: yoked up defensive back and ready to run through people.

759
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: And then literally as I'm going in for grabbing a

760
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: few notes for college basketball and some of the stuff

761
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 2: on the coaching matchups, the front line stuff we're talking about,

762
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 2: the twinter page refreshes itself, and front and center is

763
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:44,960

765
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: report comes back breathalyzer eventually is a zero zero zero.

766
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: So what happens is the world of the tw and internet,

767
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: lawyers and everything else. Well, if he's got that, how's

768
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: it a dui? Well he wouldn't comply when they said, hey,

772
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: the the filing of the dui. And so the mugshot

773
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 2: is now making the rounds as we're just getting through

774
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 2: our first hour here on the program, eron, and the

775
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: easy thing is just to say, boy, you've got a

776
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: lot of money, You've got a lot of opportunity, and

777
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: still a lot to live for. Like he's had a

778
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: lot of losses, he's he's made some mistakes and for

779
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: all of us, you hope you learn from said mistakes

780
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 2: and try not to repeat them. And now you're in

781
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: the the suspicion of what medications all of those as

782
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 2: we've had those transgressions in the past. And like you

783
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: you can hire a driver, like even if you're going

784
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: someplace quote you shouldn't go, or any of that kind

785
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: of thing, Like people can be paid off pretty easily.

786
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: And you've got a lot of ride service things where

787
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: I guarantee you there are a lot of people in

788
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: this world that, if you're using a pseudonym, do not

789
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: know who Tiger Woods is. Sure right, And we've hit

790
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: that point because it's been a minute since he's been

791
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 2: front and center time and time again. But the latest

792
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: in a long line of rushes and issues for him

793
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: since that great twenty nineteen comeback.

794
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, just just reading the police report, I mean, speeding

795
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: in a residential neighborhood under the influence. I'm not gonna

796
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 3: get out of my high horse. Everybody knows how dumb

797
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 3: that is. Everyone knows how bad it is. And to

798
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 3: your point, Mike, you know, we just live in a

799
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 3: world where anyone can pull up their phone and call

800
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 3: a cab, call it, call a car. Excuse me, let alone.

801
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 3: You know, the wealthiest golfer that's ever lived. I don't

802
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 3: really have a ton to add other than that. How

803
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 3: it wasn't worse, right, I mean, he walked out on skate.

804
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: He actually pulled himself out of the car. The car

805
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: that he clipped, the driver there was not injured. This

806
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 3: just could have been so much worse. It's really bad, but.

807
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: That's just their right. Putting yourself in those positions. We

808
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: talk about it all the time. I've over lectured my

809
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: kids of if your friends are in trouble, whatever else,

810
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: be smart. Make a phone call. He's Aaron on Mike.

811
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: As we continue back into the coaching carousel, I'm trying

812
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: to get your lasers to start working, not make an

813
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: eye contact with you to say, right now, we got

814
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: some issue Bill former friend of the show, Billy Packer. Yeah,

815
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: I heard about that a couple of times. By the way, for.

816
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: Those scoring at home, I believe it is a combined

817
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: three of eighteen from three in the Iowa State Tennessee

818
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 3: game right now. So yeah, so a lot of big

819
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: you know, big ten toughnesses, like you said, and it's

820
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: uh anyway, so.

821
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: You want to throw up another Arnie span your reference

822
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 2: there when you know three pointers aren't hitting the spot?

823
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: What is arn't Spanish? Have you not watched any of

824
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 2: the clips he tries to send you of his three

825
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 2: point mark? Oh yeah, yeah, he's he's about three for eighteen.

826
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you know he he you know he plays basketball.

827
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: I think sort of. He's still out there. I give

828
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 2: it it the old try. I mean, look, I can't

829
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 2: I can't fault him I appreciate that level of dedication

830
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: to the craft. I wonder how long you have to

831
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: run your phone to get the one clip that is

832
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: actually postable that he sends to all of us and

833
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: then puts out on social that's fair point. So you

834
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: get a couple of us possessions and shots a couple

835
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: of I think it's a couple of days worth of

836
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 2: possessions and shots. I mean, I know that the guy's

837
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: uniforms have definitely changed a couple of times on those clips. Hey,

838
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: are you into video games? Celebrities are just a good time.

839
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: The Global Gaming League is a video game league with

840
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 2: celebrity owned team from t Paining and Neo competing in

841
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 2: everything from Call of Duty to Tetris. Sign up join

842
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: the league now Global Gaming League dot Com twenty to nineteen,

843
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee with the lead over Iowa State. Seven minutes and

844
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 2: change left here in the first half. But we're starting

845
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: to see some of the dominoes fall in the coaching carousel.

846
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: I talked about Luke Murray and he's gonna go become

847
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 2: the coach at Boston College, one of the high assistants

848
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 2: for Danny Hurley and Yukon. So you always see Bill

849
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: Murray and his rapt attention, which it's got to be

850
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 2: killing him because he's not at Wrigley Field and watching

851
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: Cubs games to start the year. Or maybe he's flying

852
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: back and forth. I don't know. I used to see

853
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: him all the time in April when when we get

854
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: out early and go to go to games when I

855
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: lived there many many years ago. I hope to return

856
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 2: there in short order. But when we get down to it, Aaron,

857
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: the one that's got everybody kind of feeling a bit

858
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 2: unsettled is the return of Will Wade to LSU and

859
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 2: how that comes to pass. And now you look at

860
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: the three coaches they've got running up right, it's like

861
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 2: a six man tag team championship squad from hell. When

862
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: you look at football, women's basketball and Wade coming back

863
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: in the heroes welcome that he got and some of

864
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: the questions and answers with reporters going out of the

865
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 2: tournaments and everything to where we are that it's just

866
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. He's fired for cause, and

867
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: look how you can go home again? You can.

868
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,479
Speaker 3: The departure from NC State was messy. I think there's

869
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: been you know, I'm not defending how it all happened.

870
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: But first of all, you know nil is now legal.

871
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 2: And so. And it was funny because there was a clip.

872
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was when he got to campus,

873
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 3: but there was a clip and he said, I'll try

874
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: to I'll try not to break as many rules this time.

875
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: But you know, listen, I thought some of the reporting

876
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: maybe not misleading's not the right word, but didn't give

877
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 3: the full context. Is that what people have to understand

878
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 3: about the Will Wade situation. The ad who fired him

879
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: was actually fired himself about six months ago. With the

880
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 3: whole Brian Kelly saga. For people who don't remember, there

881
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 3: was a very viral clip of the governor. If you remember,

882
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: the governor said, you know, Brian Kelly gets fired. They say, well, well,

883
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 3: his name was Scott Woodard. Will Scott Woodward be able

884
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 3: to hire the next head coach? And the Governor of

885
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: Louisiana at the press conference said I would let Donald

886
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 3: Trump hire my next head coach before I would let

887
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 3: Scott Woodward hire my next head coach. So there was

888
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: animosity there. Scott Woodward was fired, and what was interesting was,

889
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: remember Will Wade, to your point, Mike was fired for

890
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 3: cause justifiably about four years ago, twenty twenty two, and

891
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 3: he goes to McNee State, this small school in Louisiana.

892
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: And so the ad at McNee State is now at LSU.

893
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 3: The school president from McNee State is now at LSU.

894
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 3: So one the guys and girls that fired him the

895
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 3: first time are no longer there, and the guys that

896
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 3: gave him a second chance are now there. And so again,

897
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 3: I it was a clunky departure, but I don't think

898
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: there was any way it couldn't be clunky. But his

899
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 3: people are there, it's a place he's comfortable. I don't

900
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: personally have as much issue with it as some, but

901
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 3: I also understand why some do. And I also understand

902
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 3: how this does continue a trend at LSU of taking

903
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: you know, coaches with questionable character, to say the least.

904
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, you know, if you think

905
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: Will Wade's departure was messy, let's not forget what Lane

906
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 3: Kiffin did back in November, December and January of this year.

907
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: No, there's no question. I mean, we we can go

908
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 2: on many levels and we don't even have to go

909
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 2: into the political sphere except yeah, I hope, No, No, no,

910
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: not at all. It's just the idea of when we

911
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 2: talk about untoward job placements and appointments and everything else,

912
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: and people can think wherever your favorite or least favorite

913
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 2: of those state, federal, whatever. Certainly when we're talking about

914
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 2: academic institutions, same thing. Right, if you've got a changing

915
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: of people in power, coaches, ads, whatever, it becomes a

916
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: different thing. Right. We talked about the the Kevin Willard

917
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 2: situation where folks in Maryland are still salty as hell,

918
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 2: but they forget that the AD that he was working

919
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: for was gone, which means now you're kind of standing

920
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: out on a leg, you know, if you're going to

921
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 2: be the next guy, like the next guy or woman

922
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 2: who takes that job inevitably. And we talk about this

923
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: with the NFL, we talked well with every sport. Eventually,

924
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: you want your people, even in your day to day lodge,

925
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: whatever jobs you have out there, If the boss has

926
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: the opportunity to bring in someone who they've worked with

927
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: before that has some level of success or at least

928
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 2: it's the devil, you know, the devil you don't kind

929
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: of situation, it's like, all right, they may have their issues,

930
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: but they're a good coach, and the rules that they

931
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: broke four years ago are no longer the rules of

932
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: engagement here. And he worked well for us in this

933
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: case at McNee state, But like the Willard situation, became

934
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: a all right, there was a power void. Am I

935
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 2: that guy? Am I not that guy? So what I

936
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 2: said to you yesterday about wanting to be here and

937
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: staying here and everything else in a press conference that

938
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 2: becomes no one void as soon as that guy's out

939
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: the door, right, Like guy, you just said last week

940
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 2: you really loved being here in this program whatever. It's like, yeah,

941
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 2: that's today.

942
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 3: Well, And that is the one thing I would say, though,

943
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 3: is Wade got a little snippy with reporters. I believe

944
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: it was not only I believe specifically he got snippy

945
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: with reporters at the a SEC tournament, but I also

946
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 3: know after they lost in the play they lost in

947
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 3: the play into Texas, and he did say something, this

948
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 3: is the worst team that we will ever have, and

949
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 3: he you know, without being without doing the one hundre percent,

950
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: there is zero percent chance that I am leaving. He

951
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 3: stated it in a manner in which his intention was

952
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: to come back, and I understand nothing was done at

953
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 3: that point, he's got to protect himself and whatever. He's

954
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: not gonna put himself out there like that. But I

955
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 3: do agree with that part of there's the balance of

956
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 3: stuff does change. I don't think this opportunity came up

957
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 3: since the end of the play, you know, since they

958
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: and so some of it.

959
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: Is an acting job, yes, and a lot and a

960
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: lot of it is. And when a guy gets really

961
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: terse or a woman really terse, one of the man

962
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: except for the Syracuse head coach on the women's side,

963
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: where I don't all sorts of sideways. How do we

964
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 2: keep getting placed in the same bracket as as Yukon

965
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 2: and this is unfair and everything else. I heard there

966
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 2: was a complaint. I didn't see what actually, Oh no,

967
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: we'll watch that clip. It's it's it's amazing in many levels.

968
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: But but generally there is gonna be a level of acting, right,

969
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 2: because everything's fluid.

970
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 5: Right.

971
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 2: We talk about the rosters, right. I heard a conversation

972
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: Mick Crona was having here locally with Petros and Money

973
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: on AM five seventy. I referenced it a little bit

974
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: last night with Arnie, but just kind of talking about,

975
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: you know, switching into the recruiting retention guy. And that's

976
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: always been the case, and that's that's the other part

977
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: I think for coaching, that that they don't get to play.

978
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: Oh the rules have changed, and I got my job

979
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 2: got that much harder. You've always had to try to

980
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 2: retain people sure whether they're they've got pro aspirations, and

981
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 2: maybe you have to make them realize they're not gonna

982
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 2: be one of the first round guys. So there's no

983
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 2: guaranteed money unless your name is Ronnie James, so they

984
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 2: have to go to the G League and they have

985
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: to go overseas whatever else. But you're also trying to

986
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,479
Speaker 2: get them to not transfer, particularly once the transfer tag

987
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 2: comes off and now you can just go play somewhere else.

988
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: Like that's been there for a while, and the advent

989
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: of the dollars and cents is there and crying poor repeatedly,

990
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm not hearing it well. And I was

991
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 2: gonna say too.

992
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 3: It's one thing if you're at cal State Fullerton or

993
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: Central Connecticut or Chicago State. When you're at UCLA, you

994
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 3: have the money, and it's the same, by the way,

995
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 3: at wherever, Iowa, State, Kentucky, whatever, it's It is partly

996
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 3: about creating an atmosphere where people want to stay year

997
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 3: over year. And I am not sure that mc cronin

998
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: necessarily does that. I know it's not necessarily a mccronin conversation,

999
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: but you know, there are some coaches that do a

1000
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 3: good job of that, some coaches that don't do as

1001
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 3: good avision well, but.

1002
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 2: That is it, right, is a part of the job.

1003
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 2: And if you have to work that hard at it,

1004
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 2: probably the time and the look in the mirror, yep, right,

1005
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: if you're hearing whispers of players, you know, two through

1006
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 2: seven may leave. The first one maybe he's just going

1007
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: to the NBA, so fine, But if two through seven

1008
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: through the back channels you're hearing or getting calls from

1009
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 2: their agents, their families, whatever, that might be time to

1010
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: start looking at It's like they're all upset. That's one

1011
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: of the things I love most. And look, I'm a

1012
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: Tom is a apologist to a degree. A lot of

1013
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 2: stuff happened at Michigan State that I still have many

1014
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: questions to be answered. Because if you're that high a

1015
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 2: ranking persona I don't think everything going on at the university,

1016
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 2: you can claim I don't. I have no knowledge, that's

1017
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 2: finding your desk, that's finding the hallways, and you're a

1018
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: leader on campus. But one thing he did say was, look,

1019
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 2: we keep our guys. Yep. Our guys are like his

1020
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: starting five. It's not an amalgam of guys that have

1021
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: been hired guns to make up a starting five. They're

1022
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 2: all Michigan State guys. Which is I think the only

1023
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: guy in the Sweet sixteen that you could say that

1024
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: when you put that graphic up, that they didn't come

1025
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 2: from other places. I think, which is which is a

1026
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 2: big deal, right, So, especially in this day and age,

1027
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: so you get to be which one of these is

1028
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: not like the other, whether it means you cut down

1029
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: the nets or you fall today to Yukon, it is

1030
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 2: something we continue to watch
