I'm not saying they're gonna lose, but wow. 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: Cal Baptist being down twenty at halftime has turned into 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: a ten point game with about three and a half 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: left to go. Kansas has been in control throughout, but 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: a much better second half by cal Baptist, but still 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: Kansas in control. Meanwhile, up in the air right now, 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: about eight minutes to go.

As potentially we could see a fifteen to upset. 27 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe again Yukon's up nine. But man, I want 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: to see it just because you know, I don't. I 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: don't have the desire to see Yukon lose like everybody, 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: Like we all have the desire to see Duke lose, Like, yeah, 31 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: you want Duke to lose.

Furman's performance here performance they beat us 67 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: and knocked us out. We're a two seeds kind of question. 68 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: You asked me that, that's that's a hell of a 69 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: question to ask me their performance. Ah my god, what 70 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: did they beat us? Seventy four, seventy two, seventy five, 71 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: seventy five is performance? 72 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: Their performance? 73 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Uh? 74 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: Now? 75 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, speaking of performances, everybody's favorite mid major team has 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: gone home. Tennessee, who has been pretty good all season long, 77 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: maybe a little underseeded as a sixth seed, it takes 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: care of Miami of Ohio Miami University loses seventy eight 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: to fifty six, and at the end Tennessee was just 80 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: trying to get guys to thirty points, and all kinds 81 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: of Gillespians like, yeah, I'm completely trying to get to thirty. 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: I didn't care. 83 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: And I want to say this about Miami because so 84 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: often we get the opinion of, well, this questionable team 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: getting in did it needs to validate by doing well 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: in the NCAA tournament, right? 87 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: And I see that and I go, I am not 88 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 4: with that at all. 89 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: I completely am not without at all the tournament's all 90 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: about matchups. We see blowouts all the time. You see teams. 91 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: You know, just because this two fifteen upset happened, didn't 92 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: mean that this fifteen seed would have beat this other 93 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: two seed happened to be a better matchup, right, Like, 94 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, they put teams up against each other, and 95 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: there's travel and there's so many things that go into it. Right, 96 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: it's a big a Just beat who's in front of end, 97 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: keep moving on, Right, It's part of the charm of 98 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: the tournament, what makes it so great. It's chaos across 99 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: the board. If Miami lost in the first four by twenty, 100 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: I wouldn't care they lost tonight by twenty I wouldn't care. 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: When when you win your conference, you're undefeated and there's 102 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: still a question about you going to the tournament, Like, 103 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: I don't know what you want other than we're just 104 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: looking for a way to be negative. It doesn't matter 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: how you do in the tournament. You know, sometimes hey, 106 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: you wind up playing well, it shouldn't mean you validate 107 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: your selection because hey, maybe you had the right path. 108 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: Maybe instead of playing the two seed because they got upset, 109 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: you had to play the eleven seed, and you moved on. Right, 110 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: we all thought Alabama's going home, but now here there 111 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: are without their second leading score and they're playing high 112 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Point tomorrow, right, Like, Alabama's a huge favorite in that game. 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: So the whole like to validate by getting in. And 114 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: what that means is we go back and look, hey, 115 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: last year the MAC went oh three, So let's not 116 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: take MAC teams this year. No, last year is irrelevant 117 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: to what's this year. Now, this year is relevant to 118 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: this year. If you have a conference that goes out right, 119 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: and let's say the Big East, right, you know, Saint 120 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: John's one big but you know, hey, Yukon's having a 121 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: tough time with Furman. It's a seven point game and 122 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: we already watched Villanova get knocked out. Okay, hey, maybe 123 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: we overvalued the Big East this year. This doesn't mean 124 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: you don't take Big East teams next year. But yet 125 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: that's become this sort of crutch that we have a 126 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: year to year in the tournament when it comes to 127 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: breaking down what tournaments are successful, what schools are successful, 128 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: Who you can believe in, who you can't believe in, 129 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: And I just think that's wrong. If Miami University lost 130 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: in the first four by thirty I would say the 131 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, they deserve to be there. They deserve 132 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: to be in because of what they did over the 133 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: course of the season. Right, doesn't matter. You could play 134 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament five hundred times and have five hundred 135 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: different matchups, and you're gonna get different teams into the 136 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: round of thirty two, the Sweet six, in the Elite 137 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: eight all the time. Right, it's just one moment in time, 138 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: what happens with this team against this game, and we 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: go on, right, all. 140 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: The different earths. 141 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: If you just had different seeds going on in the end, 142 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: you would have different teams in the final, four, different 143 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: champions all the way down. It would happen so often 144 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: because it's so chaotic and it's so much a randomness 145 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: that we have to appreciate about the tournament. 146 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: Well, that's it. 147 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: Right, as we go and you schedule the tournament and 148 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: you see where the matchup somewhere, you have the appearance 149 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: of being just flat out made for TV. 150 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: Our old rule of thumb. 151 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: Here on the show, the mantra of remember all of 152 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: these events, every last damn one of them is a 153 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: television show. So they're trying to draw eyeballs and interest, 154 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: which is why Miami, Ohio getting into the tournament was 155 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: good for business. 156 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: All right. 157 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: People were curious to see how they would stack up. Now, 158 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: did you think eventually it was gonna end badly to 159 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: a degree, yes, to the level that it did today, 160 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: maybe not, But just the scheduling part. I was just 161 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: watching a great clip from from Matt Painter of Purdue, 162 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, former remember when he was 163 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: number one and then he wasn't, but talking about he 164 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: came on the show with us when he was number 165 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: one and then they lost right away. He never come 166 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: on the show. So yeah, and we'll have to do 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: reach out. But nine straight years he goes, We're the 168 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: only team nine straight years where we're a top four 169 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: seed and he goes, and we we play a lot 170 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: of these mid major teams. Everybody plays the mid major teams. 171 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: We're one of the few that maybe pays attention to 172 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: some of the net ratings, some of the other metrics 173 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: in terms of those scheduling and where there's advantages or not, 174 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: and you need to be judicious about it. I'm obviously paraphrasing. 175 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: It's a great couple of minute answer to the question. 176 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: And it evokes, you know, some of what we were 177 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: talking about a little bit earlier in the show with 178 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,359 Speaker 1: reactions to some of these outcomes and the scheduling dilemmas 179 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: that teams face. But it does shouldn't mean that they 180 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: don't get in again. You get sixty eight teams that 181 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: you're scheduling, deciding worthiness between about forty of them. It 182 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: depends on the day and which was the most recent 183 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: game you watched again, depending on the matchup. All right, 184 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: here's a couple of seven footers running around and dominating 185 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: the low post versus the team gets hot from three 186 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: point range or suddenly there's a lid over the free 187 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: throw you know, when they're shooting free throws and they 188 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: can't finish a game out Like, there's a million different 189 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: ways in permutations to a game to get to its 190 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: end result. Sometimes going away right, what is a close 191 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: game with four minutes left in attempts to extend things 192 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: and play the three for two becomes a free throw 193 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: shooting contest and suddenly you know there's distance and it 194 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: looks a lot different than the way it played. But 195 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: for all of these teams, I would hope that we 196 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: don't do the quick judgment. I only throw it out 197 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: because I know how a lot of this works, right, 198 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: and we've watched it. 199 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: Hey, how much did you see these. 200 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: I don't know my sid put that in right or 201 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: someone else on staff is charged with the voting and 202 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: all of those kind of processes. So you do the 203 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: best you can with it, and you're hopeful that all 204 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the deserving teams get in and you get a matchup 205 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: that at least gives you a thrill. But there's a 206 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: reason that there's a divide between those top four seeds 207 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: and the rest of the field. The game is structured 208 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: that way and will continue to maybe have that gap. 209 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: Widen to widen this out of it. Now, speaking of widen, 210 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: we talk about it. 211 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 4: You mentioned it. 212 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: The NCAA Tournament's a TV show and it's been a 213 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: great TV show so far. Now, why why has this 214 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: been such a great TV show so far? Because you 215 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: have seen a lot of the big heritage teams in 216 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: college basketball, a lot of the big p fives are 217 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: all winning and moving on. We all love the ups right, 218 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: we love the upsets in college basketball, but the last 219 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: few years, like we've seen it, when it gets the 220 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: later rounds of the tournament. How long do you want 221 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: to see a team like High Point really be around? 222 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: Right? 223 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: I think we've gotten past because what once we got 224 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: to the sixty four teams in the tournament, you saw 225 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: more upsets in nineteen eighty five. You know, this is 226 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: something that moves a little more glacially than you would expect. 227 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: But hey, we saw a few upsets here and there. 228 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: Then you get into the nineties and you see the 229 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: buzzer beaters became the big thing, and that's what we love. 230 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: Then you started seeing all the upsets, right, you started 231 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: seeing it. And then we got into a point with 232 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: the early two thousands and into the early teams of oh, 233 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: we just want the upsets. We just want the upsets. 234 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: You want Duke to lose in North Carolina, to lose 235 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: on And then we realized, oh, now you're left with 236 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: not a lot of great basketball, and you're left with 237 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: big final four games where it's a terrible game because 238 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: a team that gets hot and moves on, a mid 239 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: major team gets exposed. When you see the best teams 240 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: in the country, that are the most polished and they're 241 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: moving on. This is what makes for the best television, 242 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: and that's what we're getting this year. 243 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 4: Right. 244 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: We saw all year long the Heritage teams in the 245 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: top they were dominating the top twenty five. You had 246 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: your mid major here and there, and the story of 247 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio was awesome, But overall, this is the 248 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: best television show. 249 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: Right. 250 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: We want Saint John's and Kansas on Sunday? Do we 251 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: really want Sat John's and cal Baptist. Yeah, it's fun 252 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: to see Kansas get knocked out, but then you realize, oh, 253 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe that next game isn't gonna be what 254 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: we expected to see or what I wanted to see. 255 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: The best teams as we go on is proving to 256 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: be the best television show. Right, you want the best. 257 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody wants to see George Mason and 258 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: High Point playing in the final four, right, It's like, Okay, 259 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm watching this game, but I don't know who either 260 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: of these teams are, don't know any of these players. 261 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: It looks like a first four game, and it just 262 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: takes away from the overall impact of the tournament. Like 263 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: when now that we've had we've gone through all the 264 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: different phases of the tournament, where here it is at 265 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: sixty four teams what was that like for a decade, 266 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 1: here's where we had all the big buzzer beaters. How 267 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: exciting was that? Now here's all the big upsets and 268 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: where was that? I think now we've come around to Okay, 269 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: college basketball players don't stick around that much longer. It's 270 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: hard to get in on them. So we got to 271 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: be in on the teams and the heritage teams. And 272 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: that's kind of where you see this is the best 273 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: television show that we're getting, what you're seeing so far 274 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I think some of it goes back 275 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: to also, once upon a time, the only time you 276 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: got these lower seeds and the look at him was 277 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: when it got to the final four minutes. All right, 278 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: let's go to that game because number fourteen seed is 279 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: looking to stage an upset. You were watching forty minutes 280 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: of it. Now you have access to every game on 281 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: the quad box, or if you put two TVs together, 282 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: you can really blow your mind. 283 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's a lot going on, right, it can 284 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 4: just blow it up to a whole other level. 285 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: And so when we had that, it's like we talk 286 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: about the saturation of a lot of stuff, Right, do 287 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: we have too much football here? Do we have too 288 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: much NBA to where you're seeking it out to where 289 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: you kind of push back back then and again the 290 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: hey tell me how it used to be, Grandpa, It 291 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: was the all right, we've got this game. We're gonna 292 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: now take you to a more competitive game, right, because 293 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: there is an upset brewing where before it was regionalized 294 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: and then you had the national brand like a Duke 295 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: or something that would be the full national broadcast. Right, 296 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: It's just a different animal now in terms of what 297 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: we get and necessarily what we want. Look, I'll take 298 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: every game. You'll give me an then some, but I'm 299 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm weird that way.

We're just turning the no, no, no, 426 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: that's sixth or seventh guy on the corn is absolutely 427 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: fine interrupting play. Now, before we get onto a big 428 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: take on this, you want my because I actually have 429 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: a great Steve Nash Santa Clara story. I already sea 430 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: Steve Nash Santa Clara story. So this is when Steve 431 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: Nash is a senior at Santa Clara and he's starting 432 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: to get a lot of run as being a big 433 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: uh star and and and getting drafted high in the 434 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: NBA draft, right, and obviously it turned out from you know, 435 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: Hall of famer, one of the best point. 436 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 4: Guards you've ever seen. 437 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: But he's just starting to get a lot of attention, 438 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: and you know, no one sees Santa Clara's games are 439 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: all on late at night. But this is back when 440 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: I was a social producer at ESPN. This is one 441 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: of my favorite stories because I told you I was 442 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: the best PA and AP that ever existed at ESPN. 443 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: It was it was one of those nights where it 444 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: was the late basketball game, so it was the the 445 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: game that went on following the eleven o'clock Sports Center. Right, 446 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: it was a midnight Santa Clara against somebody. Right, it 447 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: was one of the first times Steve Nash is on 448 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: national TV. So like, wow, we get midway through the game. 449 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: So now we're an hour until Sports Center starts, and 450 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: the producer of the show says to me, you know, 451 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: we should probably have done a package and done a 452 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: story on Steve Nash coming off this game. 453 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 4: And I said, you're challenging me for that. He goes, 454 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 4: can you do it? And I said, can I. 455 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: Put together write and edit and get stuff from Steve 456 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: Nash in an hour? He goes, well, I'll give you 457 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: an hour and a half. Well, we'll run it midway 458 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: through the show because Sports and a late Sports Center 459 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: was coming on after the game was over, and I said, yeah, 460 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: let's go. So I went down there, and no one's 461 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: ever done like I said, I'm gonna tell you the truth, 462 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: no one's ever done anything like this. No one ever decides, mean, 463 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: no one on ESPN ever decides to do a three 464 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: minute story with an hour before showtime. That's never happened before, right, never, 465 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: trust me, never happened before. So we decide to do it, right, Like, okay, great, 466 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: So I'm all juiced up for it, and I called 467 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: my producer. 468 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 4: I said, you know, it would be great if. 469 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: We could get some sound for Steve Nash after the game, 470 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: Like could we get a reporter to go and talk 471 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: to him, like in the tunnel or in the locker room, 472 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: like right after the game is over, and then feed 473 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: us the sound and I can edit it into the package. 474 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: And he was like, okay, well, what do you want. 475 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: I go, well, ask him he had a slow first half. 476 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 4: Ask him. 477 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: We want to know what he did in the second 478 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: half to counteract what the team did do in the 479 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: first half.

Now, I know you're upset 534 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 4: about this game. Yeah, I'm not terribly thrilled about it. 535 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: Many people are. 536 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Throw But here's the thing, and this is why the 537 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: theme to tonight should be relax right, relax. Right after 538 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: this game was over all the excitement level, two big 539 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: narratives came out. Oh look at the Santa Clara players. 540 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: They shouldn't have been celebrating after the big three because 541 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: you can see that they were celebrating. 542 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 4: Hands up in the air out there. 543 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: If you go time out, Yeah, Kentucky goes fast coming 544 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: out and you know, Away gets you know, just past 545 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: half court and that hits that miracle shot. Okay, So 546 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: should they have been defending better? Yeah, but this is 547 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: kind of how you see teams react after big shots. 548 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: This happens in the NBA, happens at every level. Then 549 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: you get your head coach jo Herb Sendek wanted to 550 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: call a time out. You see him running up the 551 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: court to call a time out. But you know what, 552 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: I don't know the last time a team that makes 553 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: a big shot in the final three seconds of a 554 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: game gets a timeout granted because the other team gets 555 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: a chance to go if they want to go. 556 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 4: Right. 557 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: It's usually the team that, hey, if you're inbounding the ball, 558 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: that's a team that decides we want a time out. 559 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: We don't want a time out, right, That's who you're 560 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: kind of beholden to. I don't know the last time 561 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: I've seen a team make a big shot and then 562 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: call a time out right away. Right, you don't get 563 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: that time out. So I get that Sendick is running 564 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: up showlt calling a time out, But there's a lot 565 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: of chaos. There's two seconds left to go. Kentucky wants 566 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: to inbound the basketball. You want to make sure that 567 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: you are have it. You you are watching everything out there. 568 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: You don't miss a foul. So I get that you 569 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: don't get that time out call. But people are so 570 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: upset about these things, And what I want to say 571 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: is just relax. The guy made a miracle shot. He 572 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: was two feet inside a half court and he chucked 573 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: it up. It was a prayer. It's March. Sometimes stuff 574 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: like this happens, not all the time, not very often, 575 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: but you get magical moments in games where a guy 576 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: hits a shot. 577 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 4: What are you gonna do? 578 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, in theory, you could look back and say, well, 579 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: there's all these things we could have done to stop 580 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: this shot from happening. And I'm like, yeah, I get that, Like, yeah, 581 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: if you would call the time out, you might have 582 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: been able to defend the inbounds better. If you're maybe 583 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: if your team hadn't been celebrating, you would have been 584 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: a little bit closer defensively. But I mean, the guy 585 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: made a miracle shot. If he missed, no one will 586 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: be saying anything. It would look just like any other 587 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: here's a heave from half court at the end of 588 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: the game, and they missed, and here's the upset, and 589 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: that's how it goes, right, Like I don't get how 590 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: upset or but he was like, we can't just enjoy 591 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: this was an incredible ending. The guy made a miracle shot. 592 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: And I understand if you're Santa Clara. I understand if 593 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: you're a Santa Clara fan, But just the overall, the 594 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: people with check marks and the and the pundits and 595 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: the insiders going oh, this and this and this, Like, guys, 596 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: it was a miracle shot from just inside a half court. 597 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: Understand that's what it was. It wasn't anything else, wasn't 598 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: anything else that was awful it's something that you should 599 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: be able to live with because it's just a March miracle, 600 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: that's all it was. Hey, when you're the West Coast 601 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: Conference coach of the Year, you demand attention and for 602 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: that time out to be granted. Herb got screwed. The 603 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: Broncos got screwed.
