Speaker 3: Man, I'm feeling great the ball. My adrenaline is still

64
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: pumping from last night's performance from Caitlin Clark. Man, I

65
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: was watching that game. I was in my living room,

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: jumping up and down my face. I was two inches

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: from the TV screen, Like it was amazing, Like it

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: was amazing. I haven't seen a player like galvanized her

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: whole team like this, Like she's coming from Iowa doing

70
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: this and it's absolutely amazing, Like I can't wait until

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: the national championship game South Carolina. Dawn Staley, you know

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: she's she's starting to like really put South Carolina on

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: the map. Now, I can't wait till the championship game.

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Man, Now we're gonna talk about in detail the matchup

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 4: of the time Iowa versus USC, the USC in Carolina,

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: not the USC in California.

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: But before we.

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: Get to that, let's talk about this Iowa game versus

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: Yukon Cuffs.

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Now.

81
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: I watched the same game you watched. I felt like

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: a Yukon team that has not looked. They did not

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: look like and people would admit this, It did not

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: look like a historical dominant Yukon team. It looked like

85
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: a well coached team that was an overachieving team. But

86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: going into this game, I gotta say, I think they

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: had the winning game plan going against Iowa in this game,

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: which was, to me, pressure, pressure Caitlin Clark, make sure

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: that that it's someone else, and it was someone else

90
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: that that was able to have great success against Yukon,

91
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: but nonetheless pressure her, make her work for everything that

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 4: she does.

93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: God did you hear me? Did we lose them?

94
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: Okay? So to me, I think that by the time

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: when we get to the fourth quarter. One, they forced

96
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: Caitlyn off to a very slow start. She couldn't make

97
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: any threes, too much pressure, not a whole lot of room.

98
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: But then you get to the fourth quarter and my

99
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: observations of Caitlyn Clark was she was too tired to

100
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: run around. She was too tired to move around, and

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 4: then some of the biggest moments of the game, she

102
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: didn't have enough energy to pop open and pop free

103
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: and it seemed as though she was giving the ball

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 4: up in order to give it to somebody who may

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: have had a little bit more in them to try

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: to get them through this game. But Yukon had the right,

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 4: right idea. And then we'll get to the bad call

108
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: or was it a bad call in a second, But

109
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: what was your take? Like? I feel like that was

110
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 4: what Yukon came out to do and actually could have

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: possibly clipped the wings of the Hawkeyes if that fiul

112
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: doesn't get called in the end.

113
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, gino Oriema, he had a masterful game plan last night.

114
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: As you saw, they were face guarding her for ninety

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: four feet and that was that was really his game

116
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: plan was to tire her out, to take her into

117
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: that deep water in the fourth quarter, they were denying her,

118
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: but Iowa's head coach, she did a great job in

119
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: the second half. She made some real good adjuspers to

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: have time because they were face guarding her. So if

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: you noticed in that second half she was Kaitlyn was

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: playing off the ball a lot more and it was

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: allowing her to free up. You get free and pop

124
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: out and she got some shots off. It was It

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: was a legendary performance. Though, like like I said, I

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: cannot wait to see this, to see this matchup with

127
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: South Carolina, because South Carolina is they have pretty much

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: essentially two starting five. You know, they have like they

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: have a they're starting five, which we know Cordova she's

130
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: a bat, she's six seven. They have size. So when

131
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a chess game, because last night we

132
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: saw on two contrasting styles, you know, like Yukon is

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: missing five of their top rotational players. So that's why

134
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: they kind of look like they don't look like the

135
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: old Yukon of bold because they are missing some of

136
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: their rotation pieces. So it's actually amazing that Gino even

137
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: got them to this point, Like to get them to

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: this point is one of his best coaching jobs in

139
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: my in my opinion, because he's always had a stacked team.

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: So for him to get this far his twenty third

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: final four appearance, like he don't even sound real to

142
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: say that out crazy twenty three final fours and not

143
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: only winning you know, like eleven national championships, He's went

144
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: undefeated in six of those national championships. So hats off

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: to Gino. I call him go Oriema because he is

146
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: the quinn essential college basketball coach. Like what kid wouldn't

147
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: want to send their daughter to Yukon to play. But

148
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: Kaitlyn Clark, Like, the thing that oppresses me the most

149
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: about her is not just her scoring prowess, like she

150
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: really she has like a Steve Nash Jason Kidd type

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: court vision as you saw last night Hannah Stucky yep

152
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: number forty five the center for Iowa. She made herself

153
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: a lot of money last night. And and it's really

154
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: due to Caitlyn Clark's court vision because she was finding

155
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: her teammates. And that's what I love about Caitlyn is

156
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: she trusts her teammates. We've seen a lot of we've

157
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: seen the jimmer for debts before that, you know, with

158
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: BYU back in the day where they you know, scored

159
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: the average thirty plus in college, but we never really

160
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: saw them get their teammates involved. But last night we

161
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: saw on the biggest stage, in the biggest moments, like

162
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Caitlyn was doing it all. Like she had the points assist.

163
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: I think she ended with twenty one points. She had

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: not rebounds, she had nine rebounds that she gets a

165
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: lot of rebounds, a lot of rebounds. She does a

166
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: lot of little things like and like I said, with

167
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: their coach for Iowa, if you notice in the second

168
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: half they used Kitland as a her to free her up,

169
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: kind of like how Golden staked up with Steph Curry

170
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: where he's a screener. You know he does a lot

171
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: of slip screens that he popped open. But man, it

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: was a great performance by her overall. But we got

173
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: to give some love to Hannah Stocky, Gabby Marshall. You know,

174
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: she was good on that. Like, yeah, Kate Martin has.

175
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: Been got hitting the nose, got thumped in the face,

176
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 4: came on back out, kept on going.

177
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was telling my family last night when we

178
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: was watching the game with my daughters and my family,

179
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: I was like, Yeah, like these other girls, they are

180
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: in the spotlight as well, and they're going to have

181
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: some legendary stories because everybody's not going to go to

182
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: the w NBA, like Kaitlyn from Iowa, but like these

183
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: girls on her team, man, they are going to have

184
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: so many campfire stories when they're older that they played

185
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: who I considered one of the top two college women's

186
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: players ever.

187
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: Now I'll say this, there were a lot of guys

188
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: Lebron Larry Fitzgerald. People were chiming in on on the foul,

189
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: the moving pick, and that effectively kind of ended the game.

190
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: There was one more opportunity. People may blow over this

191
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: and breeze over that that Yukon actually had the opportunity

192
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 4: to get a rebound when they fouled Caitlin.

193
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: She gave them a chance. She may want, she missed one.

194
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: They did not get the end, They did not get

195
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: the rebound, and they had a time out left. So

196
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 4: they actually did have another opportunity at it had they

197
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: gotten the rebound. But with that being said, you have

198
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: ten I believe it was ten seconds left on the clock.

199
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: You get a time out, you come out of the timeout.

200
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: It's a it's a scripted play obviously, to make that

201
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: call now and and real in real time, it did not.

202
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: Look like a bad call.

203
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: Like she did move, she did lean in, and by

204
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 4: the rule of of that foul, she did break the rule.

205
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: But and that moment cuffs. You can't make that call.

206
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't.

207
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: It's not it was not egregious enough where you make

208
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: that call, especially in a game where there were a

209
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: lot of things that were let go, a lot of

210
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 4: plays or calls that could.

211
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: Have been made that weren't made.

212
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: And knowing that this Iowa team has so much on them,

213
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: so much being stated about them, you can't make a

214
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: call that could diminish what this team has represented in

215
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: terms of what they're run is right now.

216
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a bummer for US basketball fans because,

217
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: like I said, I was standing up in front of

218
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: the TV.

219
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I was hyped.

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: But to make that call, You're right, a lot of

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: people have issues with the call, but it really was

222
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: an illegal screen she did, the electric slide she did.

223
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: It was a call.

224
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like, I know, it's tough being a rep.

225
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: A lot of reps get a lot of flats sometimes,

226
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: But like that, in that and that magnet in that moment,

227
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: like I did want to see like maybe a buzzer beating.

228
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: We was all standing up. We want to see the theatrics.

229
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: We want to see the cinema. We want to see

230
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: Page Beckers take that last shot. We want to see

231
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: it make or missed. We still want to see great players,

232
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, in that moment, can they make the big shot?

233
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: It was nerve wracking. To be honest, I was stressed

234
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: out because I never saw myself rooting for Iowa basketball.

235
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: That's the funny part of this, Like that's why I

236
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: say Caitlin is the goat. Because Yukon has Perennial All

237
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: Americans every year. Tennessee back in the day Kennis Parker

238
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: Perennial All Americans. We've seen it now with South Carolina

239
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: Perennial All Americans every year. This girl took the Iowa

240
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: Hawkives to back to back final fours. But that was

241
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: a very questionable call that I know that referee did

242
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: not sleep wells last night. He couldn't have said well,

243
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: because you saw the Twitter verse last night. Everybody had

244
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: they had real strong opinions about that all. But I

245
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: will say it wasn't a legal screen it was so

246
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: she the fact that she stuck her foot out and

247
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: the elbow. Yes, yes, Gabby Marshall, she sold it. You

248
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: gotta admit she sold it.

249
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: She sold it.

250
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: But I did want to see the theatrics. I did

251
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: want to see the drama at the end. It wasn't

252
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: let down not to see that final shot go up,

253
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: because I know Paige Beckers.

254
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: She can shoot.

255
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: She can shoot it.

256
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: If there was one person who was going to make

257
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: the shot, which they were in position to cover at cuffs,

258
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: they were in position to cover. The defense was in position.

259
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: But this is the final four. This is March madness.

260
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: You can't call that foul, whether it's right or not.

261
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 4: You can't call that foul, but you called it.

262
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: It reminds me LeVar, It reminds me of the Miami Hurricanes,

263
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: Ohio State. I think it was the rog Bowl that

264
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: passed interference calls and stuff like that, where it's like,

265
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: we would just want to see the players.

266
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: That you want to see. The players decided, you want

267
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: to see the players.

268
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: You want to see the players decided because they did fight.

269
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: Both teams were fighting and scrapping. Iowa was down in

270
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: the first half and it was looking pretty It was

271
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: looking pretty grim in the first half, to be honest,

272
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: like Yukon had it rolling Aliyah Edwards. She was the

273
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: one that committed that illegal screen. But Leah Edwards was

274
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: a beast last night as well. She's gonna be a

275
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: top five pick in the WNBA draft coming up, you know,

276
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: a couple of days. But if you look at if

277
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: you go back and look at that replay Geno Orima,

278
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: it's called like a crackback play, similar football, but that

279
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: she was really designed for her for her to get that.

280
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: It was more like a pick and roll where she

281
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: was gonna throw that pocket pass right there if you watch,

282
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: because Hannah Stukey was was kind of stagging in the paint.

283
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: So Aaliyah Edwards would have got that pocket pass right there,

284
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: right at the free throw line where she could take

285
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: that mid range that she's really good at, or she

286
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: could have got to the rim. But I think she

287
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: should have slipped that screen, that ball screen. If she

288
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: would have slipped that screen, we would have never had

289
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: that file call. You know, she would have slipped that screen.

290
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: She would have been wide open. But like they say,

291
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: man were crying over spilled milk.

292
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Now Bill Milt.

293
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: Ain't no reason to cry about it. But they got

294
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: a juggernaut that they're gonna have to deal with. That's

295
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: cuffs the legend. I'm LeVar Arrington. This is up on game.

296
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: Can Iowa win? Let's have that conversation and it is

297
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: the final four? Yeah, the men are playing today. Go

Speaker 1: All right now, I gotta.

332
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: Say, uh, cuffs this this this game that's coming up

333
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: with with the women in the championship round. This is

334
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: a rematch, but not a rematch of the championship game

335
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 4: where we saw Angel Reese put the ring me up

336
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: in shorty Girl's face and all that stuff. No, it

337
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 4: took Caitlyn Clark and Iowa coming back and outlasting the

338
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: game Cocks last year to get this victory. Now this

339
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: year they're undefeated. Don Staley has done a masterful job.

340
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: The game Cocks are undefeated and come into this game

341
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 4: with as you mentioned, their bigs are crazy.

342
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: The length that that this team has.

343
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 4: Everyone has has has raved about how how well they

344
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 4: use their length and and how deep they are on

345
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: their bench. Seemingly a juggernaut that can't be derailed. This

346
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 4: Iowa team beats an undermanned team kind of undersized really.

347
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: And Yukon to get in.

348
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: But last year, one of my takeaways, one of the

349
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: large takeaways I think a lot of people took away

350
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: from last year is that the game plan against South

351
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: Carolina was amazing in the sense that they dared them

352
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 4: to beat them from the perimeter and really really tried

353
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: to take that length that they.

354
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Had last year as well.

355
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: They had the size advantage last year as well, and

356
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: they took it away by by stacking the paint, by

357
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: not giving them too much space on the inside, and said, listen,

358
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 4: if you're gonna win this game, then you're gonna have

359
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: to win it on the outside. Now, with that being said,

360
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: I do think that this year's team for for Don

361
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 4: Staley's Game Cocks actually can get it.

362
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: They showed it in yesterday's game.

363
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: They can hit from the outside as well as from

364
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 4: the inside.

365
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: What's your take on.

366
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: On this game and can this Can this game be

367
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 4: won by Iowa?

368
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: Do they have enough left in the tank?

369
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 4: Do they have enough to be able to beat this

370
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: this South Carolina Game Cocks team.

371
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: I will say South Carolina should be an overwhelming favorite

372
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 3: because of their their depth. They have so much they're

373
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: They're a very deep team. Like I said, they have

374
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 3: essentially two starting fives like fool Whilely the backup point guard,

375
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: she's one of the top, you know, high school players

376
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: coming in. She comes off the bench and she's amazing.

377
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: Like you said, Cordoza is six seven. They run a

378
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: lot of high low action with they're bigs, which is

379
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: pretty unstoppable as you saw last night against NT State.

380
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: But I'll say the difference in this game this year

381
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: with Iowa and South Carolina is there's Noah Leah Boston.

382
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: There's South Carolina is great. They have depth, but they

383
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 3: don't have a superstar this year. It's a team, it's

384
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: a team effort, it's a collective effort. So I think

385
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: it's going to be very, very tough. It's gonna be

386
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 3: an uphill battle for Caitlyn because last night, like you said,

387
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: Yu Khan was able to play the box and one

388
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: on her faith guard her, and they were pretty much

389
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: what like six deep, seven deep they had They didn't

390
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 3: really have much depth. So I think, you know, it's

391
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: gonna be a tough game because she's gonna be She's tired.

392
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 3: These are human beings. This is not a video game.

393
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: I try to explain that all the time. The basketball

394
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: players like, she's tired.

395
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Bro, she was tired in that first quarter.

396
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those legs are heavy. She was you know, her

397
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: lungs are on fire. So she's gonna get her recovery in.

398
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: But she's playing pretty much the whole game. Caitlyn is

399
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: out there pretty much playing thirty eight to forty minutes.

400
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: She barely gets a chance to come out of the game.

401
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: So Don Staley, she was a point guard. You know,

402
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: she understands that position, so she knows how to guard

403
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: that position just as much as playing that position. So

404
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: I know Don is going to come with a similar

405
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 3: game plan as Gino Oriemma did with the face guarding,

406
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: and South Carolina had even better athletes and better athleticism

407
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: than even you Kon had last week. So Kitlin's gonna

408
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: have to have one of those, as I call it,

409
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 3: like a team wolf performance. She's going to She's gonna

410
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: have to go to full team wolf mode tomorrow because

411
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: she didn't really shoot it well last night. She was

412
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: like three out of three, four eleven from three. She's

413
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: gonna have to get back to like she did against

414
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: an elite eight round against LSU, where she was nine

415
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: for twenty from three. She's gonna have to bump that

416
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: up to at least forty percent from deep because they're

417
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: not going to allow her to get downhill. I see

418
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: them face guarding her was pretty much as a Boston one.

419
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: You got what Yukon did last night. They played gap

420
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: help defense, so the one girl was guarding her full court,

421
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: but everybody else is just sitting back, pretty much like

422
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: in the cover two in football. They're just sitting back.

423
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: They're playing gap defense. And it's a great game plan.

424
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: So John Steady should come out there tomorrow with that

425
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: same game plan. But man, it's gonna come down to

426
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: the others, Like shocking, those guys always say the others

427
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: are gonna win you a championship. So it's gonna come

428
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: down to moret and once again Gabby Marshall, Hannah Stophie.

429
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to win. At least two of those

430
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: players are gonna have to have at least double figures

431
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: for Iowa to even have a chance tomorrow.

432
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't.

433
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 4: Think they have a real chance, and it led me

434
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: to the thought process of what does this mean for

435
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark's legacy in terms of being a great ever

436
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 4: like calling her the goat and not having a championship?

437
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it feasible?

438
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 4: And that's that's my biggest kind of what I'm wrestling

439
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: with if they don't win, because it is truly a

440
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: team game. When I look at her greatness, her greatness

441
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: should not be diminished by the fact that she wasn't

442
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: able to get a championship within a team sport because

443
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it took them as

444
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 4: a team. As we mentioned in the last segment, it

445
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: took the team to be able to win that game yesterday.

446
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: I just don't know that she has enough. There's just

447
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 4: not enough in the tank, Like there's not enough of

448
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 4: a rest period for this turnaround time going into this game.

449
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: I don't think we're going to get the best Caitlyn

450
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 4: Clark that we would expect in the biggest game of

451
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: probably her career against this team.

452
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: And with it being.

453
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: Said, cuffs don Staley has has been able to use

454
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 4: her bench masterfully and by using it that way, they're

455
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: going to be a lot more fresh, fresher than what

456
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: I and and put this on all of Iowa there

457
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 4: there's because Kate Kate played like thirty nine thirty eight

458
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: minutes as well. They there were their best players have

459
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: had to put in a ton of minutes. I just

460
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 4: if i'm if I'm don Staley. I know I'm sitting

461
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 4: there looking back and I'm looking at my chops and

462
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying, we're going We're going to work them to death.

463
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 4: So I feel like if Iowa is going to have

464
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: a chance and the opportunity to get this game, they're

465
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 4: going to have to get out to a really really

466
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: fast start and try to build up a really really

467
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: big lead and try to try to try to ride

468
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 4: it out, Like see if you can ride it out

469
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: because I think if it's a close game, just like

470
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 4: what happened yesterday, if it's a close game, they gonna

471
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 4: reel them in and they gonna chew them up, and

472
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna spin them out, and it's gonna be another

473
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 4: championship for USC.

Speaker 7: imaging and evaluation then revealed a re injury to his

488
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,159

Speaker 1: I don't know about it.

509
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: This sounds painful and sounds like it's hard to come

510
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,000

Speaker 4: Going into the games today, you got you got an

516
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: interesting matchup of bigs. One is bigger than the other big,

517
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: but the other big is kind of athletic and kind

518
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: of like big Baby you know when he was at

519
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 4: LSU type of deal. The NC State wolf Pack, they

520
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: have had an amazing run, both men and women's but

521
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 4: they now run into a Purdue boiler Maker team that

522
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: is pretty hot. They're shooting very well, and Edie is

523
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: dominating both defensively, he's making it very difficult and offensively

524
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 4: he's proving very tough to defend. How do you see

525
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: this one playing out as a preview of today's games.

526
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: Well, well, I'm rooty for NC State because I'm right

527
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: here in the Triangle area. I'm right here in the

528
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: RDU area. Aunty State is like literally twenty minutes from

529
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: where I'm at right now. It is a frenzy right

530
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: now in this area. You got Dreamville going on this weekend,

531
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: So North Carolina sports everything is going crazy in the state.

532
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: But I the reason why I want to see Anti

533
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: State pull this upset off and continue this magic harpie ride.

534
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: Is because the eighty three team, right, remember about the

535
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: teams Charles, you know, Derrick Wittenberg, Thorough Bailey, all those

536
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 3: guys right that eighty three championship team Leavar those guys

537
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: are tired of doing the reunion tour. It because in

538
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: North Carolina. In North Carolina, so it's a running joke

539
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 3: where every not just one time of year, they honored

540
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: that team and they deserve their flowers. But I know

541
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: those those guys are tired of doing the ceremony every

542
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: year at Anti State basketball games because they're still living

543
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: in the past. That's my point. Anty State Basketball. Anybody

544
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 3: who knows the acc knows what I'm saying right now.

545
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: Anc State basketball has always been like the black sheep

546
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 3: for the family because the Duke UNC they've been perennial

547
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: powerhouses throughout the nineties to two thousands coach k Roy Williams,

548
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Dean Smith. So they've been hanging on to the glory.

549
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: They've been hanging on to that eighty three team and

550
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 3: this team right here, they really do have the same

551
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: spirit of that eighty three team being eleven seeds. You

552
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: know this team right here, man. Just three weeks ago,

553
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 3: going into the ACC Tournament, they were calling for Kevin

554
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 3: Keach's job, like the fan base was. The UNC State

555
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 3: fans were saying, look, we need a new change the scenery,

556
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: we need a new coach, we need to change this

557
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: up right. They were really they really had Kevin Keeths

558
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: was really on that hot seat. And for him to

559
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: go into that a SEC tournament win five games in

560
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: five days, which we've never seen anybody do that, Like

561
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: it's can you imagine, Like I've seen kids play a

562
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: you games, two or three games in one day, but

563
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: to play five games at a high level like that.

564
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: You beat UNC, you beat Duke Virginia, if you run

565
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: the whole gauntlet to get to the NC DOUBLEA tournament,

566
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: and then you get disrespected by the committee. The ACC

567
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 3: tournament champion was an eleven seeds. So NC State has

568
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: felt disrespected, Kevin Keats has felt disrespected. And what I

569
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: love about this team is they have really rallied around

570
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: Kevin Keath Like DJ Burns. These are like local kids

571
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: from North Carolina and South Carolina, DJ Horns, the Raleigh kids,

572
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: like these kids really really loved their coach, so I

573
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 3: would love to see that for the state of North Carolina,

574
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: for NC State's universities, like we've seen the women's team

575
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: make the Final four as well. It's a great time

576
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: to be a wolf Pack fan. And I think the

577
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 3: game plan tonight with Zach edy is kind of similar

578
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: to how they played Caitlin Clark last night with Yukon.

579
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: But you want to let the others beat you, like

580
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: you want to let the other role players on Purdue

581
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: beat you, like Brydon Smith those other guys. Because we've

582
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: seen Purdue they do have some kinks in their armor.

583
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: They lost a couple of games in the Big Ten.

584
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: And I will say this anti State team, they're momentum

585
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: right now. They really believe, like they really believe they

586
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: can do this. So that matchup right there with DJ Burns,

587
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: he's giving up like seven inches, like he said, no Diddy,

588
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: he's giving up seven Zach Dy, He's giving up seven

589
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: inches in the paint. But he's gonna make Zach Edie

590
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: work unlike any matchup. His faith in the Big Ten

591
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: and in this tournament so far, because he looks like

592
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: I call him baby Zack, Baby Zach Randolph.

593
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, he kind of looked like Zach Randolph too

594
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 4: a little bit. Yeah, you think he's as good as

595
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: Zach Randolph, bro.

596
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: He's not as Zach.

597
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: Zach was also six eleven, sixteen, you.

598
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Know, yes he was, yes, yes, oh yeah, but they

599
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: both they.

600
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 3: Both Neither one of those guys can jump over a

601
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: phone book. So it's like they played below the rim.

602
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: It's amazing to see a guy that's six nine that's

603
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: playing belowder rhythm and we gonna he's gonna he's gonna

604
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: put that footwork on Zach ad He You're gonna see

605
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: a lot of He ain't.

606
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: The most flea of foot type of dude. Man, if

607
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: he could get the position, he's good.

608
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: But he ain't. He ain't the most flea of foot now.

609
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 3: And I think they're gonna put him in a lot

610
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: of ball screen actions today. You're gonna see a lot

611
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: of pick and roll. They're gonna try to bring him

612
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: out of the paint and really force him to move

613
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: those puppies. But he gonna have to really defend the

614
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: day because NC State's guards. That's gonna be the key

615
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: to the game. I think NC State's guards. DJ Horn

616
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 3: you know Morsel O'Connell. Those guys have been tremendous this

617
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: whole ACC tournament run and this NC double at tournament run.

618
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: NC State is not getting enough creditor guard play has

619
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: been phenomenal. And Mohammed Diarra, he's averaging double figure rebounds.

620
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: He's a long, wiry, you know, six ten six eleven reboundery.

621
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: He can give you a double double as well. Uh

622
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: middle Brooks has played well for NC State, the big

623
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: man transferred from Clinton. So I'm looking forward to this

624
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: matchup being in North Carolinian. Like I said, my grandfather

625
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: was a State fan, Tommy Burrelton, David Thompson back in

626
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: those days. My mother was a big anti State fan,

627
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: So I'm partial to anti State. I think they can

628
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: pull it off, but I will say Yukon and Alabama,

629
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: that's gonna be a molly wapping out.

630
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna preview that one

631
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 4: on the other side of this break, and and and

632
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 4: I like that you did that because we're gonna get

633
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 4: your prediction for this this game with what your your

634
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: Southern your your n C staters, and and obviously and

635
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: in that game would Purdue. We're gonna get that prediction,

636
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: and we're gonna get what you're thinking of the Yukon

637
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: Alabama game because I think it's an uphill battle for Alabama.

638
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: Yukon is looking strong, but we're gonna get that.

639
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: We're gonna get your take on that, and we're gonna

640
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: get to the end of well, I hate to say it,

641
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: the hour with Cuffs the Legend, but he has crushed

642
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 4: it for an entire hour. Stay tuned, Uh, We're gonna

643
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: take a quick break Yukon Alabama expert pick on the

644
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,600

Speaker 4: get up out of here, cuffs. We got seven minutes, Playboy,

660
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 4: seven minutes, and I want to hear all about what

661
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 4: you're thinking Alabama can do to beat the unstoppable looking

662
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: Yukon Huskies. Hurley has done an amazing job with these dudes.

663
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: They look to be the clear favorites in winning it all.

664
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 4: But what can Alabama do to spoil it and make

665
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 4: March more matter than what it already has been?

666
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Man?

667
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: I love Alabama's run so far. Mark Steers, he looks

668
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: like a baby Jalen Brunton. Right now, all American lefty

669
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: point guarf Obama. But I don't. I don't think Alabama

670
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 3: has a chance unless they call the trails free well

671
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: Robert or James Hollywood Robinson, So they go back and

672
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: get some of the Obama players. They might have a

673
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: chance against this Yukon juggernaut. But I don't see it

674
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: happening because Dan Hurley's looking like the best coach in

675
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: college basketball right now.

676
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: Today.

677
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 3: He had these guys running like a tight ship. It's

678
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: all disciplined over there. If you watch Yukon stets right now,

679
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 3: it's precision on offense. Man, the screening, the back cut,

680
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: everything is just looking perfect for Yukon. Donovan Klingman, he's

681
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: dominating inside seven footer. You got Tristan Newton, Stefan Castle,

682
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 3: you got cam spencer like these they're loaded. Man. So

683
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: I see Yukon. I see them cutting down the net overall.

684
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: But they're definitely gonna win this game. I think the

685
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: point spread is like eleven and a half. They should

686
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: cover that easily. Alabama, they just don't have the size

687
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: like Grant Nelson to transfer from North Dakota State. I

688
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: love his game. I've been speaking highly of him even

689
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: when he was at North Dakota State. He's just a

690
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: little too small inside, and I don't think Alabama has

691
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 3: that in that positional size on the interior to hang

692
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: with Yukon. Because Yukon is kind of similar to South Carolina,

693
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: like they come at you in waves. You know, they

694
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 3: have eight nine deep. Man, they got guys they could

695
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 3: play eight nine ten deep sometimes. So it should be

696
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to say a blowout, but

697
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: they should cover the spread pretty comfortably, and they should

698
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 3: be in a championship game on Monday night. And I

699
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: think my heart is saying go with Anti State. My

700
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 3: mind is saying go with Zach Gedy and Matt Painter

701
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 3: at Purdue the boiler Makers. No, But I just want

702
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: to go out on the limb. I want to say

703
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: the ANC State wolf Pack. They didn't come this far

704
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 3: for nothing. In the ball but it didn't come this

705
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: far for nothing. The eleven.

706
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: You get caught up in the being a fan. Bro.

707
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: You sound like you're talking about the Lakers right now,

708
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 4: Matt got Where's.

709
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: When you need now? But I just want to see that.

710
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 3: I just want to see DJ Burns and Anti State

711
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 3: get at least to that championship game. I just want

712
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: to see that that nineteen eighty three nostalgia where we

713
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: could see ANC State get back and maybe they could

714
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: possibly pull off one of the greatest upsets, because if

715
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: they were to beat Yukon, if anybody beat Yukon in

716
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 3: his final four, I would consider that a huge surprise.

717
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with NC State to be perdue,

718
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with Yukon to destroy the Crimson Tide. Man,

719
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: And I think the championship game, you know, it's gonna

720
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: be it's gonna be a it's gonna be a good

721
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 3: championship game. But I got Yukon winning.

722
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: You know.

723
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: My my thing about this game with with Yukon and

724
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: Alabama is ken Alabama running gun for two halves right

725
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 4: like Yukon. For as much as you talked about what

726
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: they've done on offense and the precision on offense, they've

727
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: been gangsters on defense too, right. They've they've guarded, They've

728
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: guarded down low very well. They have they have done

729
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 4: so well on perimeter guarding, and that's what Alabama has

730
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 4: been able to use to to get this far right.

731
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: They've shot so well from the outside, but they've also

732
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 4: attacked the rim if they can keep Yukon because Yukon

733
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: is their long they're long dudes too, and and what

734
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 4: I've seen from them, they they tend to they can

735
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: start slow like they they sometimes they don't come out

736
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: as quickly as they need to, and they can let

737
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 4: a team get into their rhythm. If Alabama can find

738
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 4: a rhythm early on in this game, and it's very

739
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 4: very up tempo, and it doesn't allow for all that

740
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 4: precision that we're talking about, and all that execution to

741
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 4: take place with Yukon and a precision executed game plan,

742
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: game flow definitely plays into the the I guess the

743
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: favor of uk But if Alabama can keep their foot

744
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 4: on the gas and don't slow up.

745
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: And can get through it and do it.

746
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 4: For two halves, they got a chance to make it

747
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: an ugly game and a nasty game and could get

748
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 4: them out of get Yukon out of rhythm, and actually

749
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 4: create a mismatch a disadvantage for Yukon, even though they've

750
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 4: been so well coached, they've been so well prepared. I

751
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 4: don't see that happening. I think that there we can

752
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: see spurts of it, but I don't know that.

753
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that.

754
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 4: Alabama can do it for two halves against this type

755
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 4: of team, because I think that they'll figure out a

756
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: way to adjust. I figure I think they figure out

757
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 4: a way to slow down the pace if they need

758
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: to and start playing Yukon basketball, which leads to them winning.

759
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 4: And so I got Yukon winning this one against Alabama.

760
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 4: And if I'm giving my prediction for the NC State

761
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: game and Purdue, I really think that is the more

762
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 4: athletic team, but I think Purdue is is the better

763
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 4: shooting team. And I think if it comes down to it,

764
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: in terms of the size and the sets, I think

765
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 4: Purdue has has the advantage. And and I gotta say,

766
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 4: I think that Purdue is playing too good, too well

767
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: of basketball right now in order for them to to

768
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 4: be Purdue. So I got Purdue going against Yukon, and

769
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 4: I think Yukon is too much for Purdue in the

770
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 4: in the final game. Now, now we got one, we

771
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: got less than a minute left. But it's Don Staley

772
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: and and and and the gang cockx right.

773
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 3: Once again. My heart is telling me Caitlyn clark Man.

774
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: But I really think South Trilana is gonna be too much.

775
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: Like I said, they're gonna play and they're gonna hit

776
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,640
