Speaker 1: Sports Saturday Final four Game two, nearly halfway through the

00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: second half. We get you updated on all of that,

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: as well as talk plenty of about the first game.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: But we are live from the tiraq dot com studios.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Ti rack dot com. We'll help you get there an

00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: ten thousand recommended installers tire rack dot com, the way

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Every year, Torres is not here

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: on Final four Saturday. As he is there, I believe

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: he usually goes and covers it every single year, so

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: in his places, well, it's Arne Spaniard. I was gonna

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: say the great or I was gonna say some other

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: adjective that might not have been as flattering, just because

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: Steve de Seger is there and so I wanted to

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: make sure he nodded an approval. But I'll let him

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: actually give the descriptor during his first update. But Arnie,

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: what's going on? Brother? It's always how you doing? My friend?

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Good to be here. But I'm sure that Aaron is

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: probably down at the game having a good time. Well,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm sure he's not having that good

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: of a time. This NCAA tournaments bored me to tears,

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: and you know, this whole not being serious and this

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: whole Oh, we got four number ones in there, and

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: number one against number one against number one against number one,

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: and both games are gonna be pretty much snoozers. Even

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: though it wasn't come from behind victory in the first game,

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: as they were down by eight at halftime, but they

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: pulled away. And you can see Duke Overady gonna go

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: and pull away in this game too.

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Wait a second. All right, now, I

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: can understand us talking about the second game, but we

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: got to go back. The first game was not a snoozer.

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: The first game was an outstanding basketball game. Not really.

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: There was a lot of First of all, even when

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: Auburn was up by eight at halftime, you still have

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: the feeling like they didn't have the game in control,

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: that they were gonna wear down. And there was a

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: lot of turnovers. Auburn had a lot of second half turnovers.

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: It was a sloppy game. I'll give the officials credit. Yeah,

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: they let them play and they were consistent on that,

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: but they let a lot of foules call go by

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: and just swallowed their whistles. It was a physical game,

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 2: but they let both teams get away with it. Good

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: for Florida though they came from bide. How you can

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: let Clayton Junior to this beaching like that and not

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: getting his grill. I mean they just I mean they

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: couldn't slow him down at all. He sego handily wished

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: Florida to the finals on Monday night.

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean he's pretty much kept them in

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: two three games in this tournament, but in this particular game, man,

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody could do anything for Florida offensively, and

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: he was keeping them close and then he just kind

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: of exploded. And when everybody woke up, Albred really just

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: didn't have an answer at that point in time. But

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean that was a really exciting, really dramatic, really

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, physical, just like this second game has

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: been just uber physical. Yes, it has led to some turno,

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: There's no question about that, but really hard fought and

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: a high level of basketball being played and Clayton. The

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: more you watch Clayton, the more you just see that

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: special something. If Florida wins, I mean, it's gonna be

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: a Walter Clayton story that we're gonna tell for a

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: very long time. And then on the Duke's side, we

65
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: obviously know what that's gonna be if they finish off

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: Houston in this game and then actually we're to win

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: it all on Monday night. But I mean to say

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: that you're already talking about the tournament in a kind

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: of a negative context here, and we're gonna spend plenty

70
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of time over the course of the next three hours

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of breaking it down.

72
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not the only one, believe me, You know

73
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: that I'm not the only one saying that, that's for sure.

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So who else is saying it?

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, stop it.

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Who's bored by this tournament?

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: Well, who isn't bored by this tournament? I mean, we

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: talked about the lack of buzzer beaters, We talk about

79
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: the lack of upsets. Jah, there's been one or two,

80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: and I think there's been a couple of buzzer beaters

81
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: with the Maryland game. But now what we're accustomed to, Now,

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: what we're used to, now, what makes March madness March

83
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: madness not the whole all? Can you believe mcnee's won

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: a game and they're gonna advance, and this team's in

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen, and where's one of the IVY League

86
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: teams and we're's jail and we didn't get.

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Any of that.

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: That's yeah, we do, we do. And I know the look,

89
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: I know the ratings were good, but you don't know

90
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: that there's not gonna be buzzer beaters. You don't know

91
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: that there's not gonna be upset. So people are gonna

92
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: tune in anyway. It's not going to affect the whole

93
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: series or the whole package of the NCAA tournament. But yeah,

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: I do.

95
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: I live.

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: I live for the first round up sets. That's that,

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: to me is the best part of the tournament. That

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: that first Thursday Friday is the best two days of

99
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: sports as far as I'm concerned. And I didn't get

100
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: anything those first two days. And I even told Chris,

101
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: it's funny, even before the tournament started. We're on every

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Sunday every year after the selections announced, and we get

103
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: we're one of the first to break it down. And

104
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: I said, Chris, I'm not even feeling the madness this year.

105
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: I don't like the matchups. I'm not feeling like there's

106
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of upsets. I didn't even like

107
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: the damn towns. They were going to spoke Cane no

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: offense against Smoke Camp, but you know, it's so hard

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: to fly up there. I think a couple of the

110
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: coaches were complaining that their fans couldn't really, you know,

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: afford to go to games they were so far away.

112
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: So I just felt maybe it was like a perfect storm, Jason,

113
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I didn't feel the madness.

114
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: I didn't feel the upsets. I didn't feel the good crowds.

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: I didn't get the buzzer beaters. I didn't get all that.

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: The only thing I got with the four number one

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: seeds and both games are going to be decided and

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: semi blowout fashions.

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: No, that first game is not even close to a blowout.

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: It was up to nine.

121
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: I can't well they they got it up to nine

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: before they cut it down the stake because Aarburn was

123
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: going to lose that game anyway. You never felt like

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: they were going to come back in the final minute

125
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: or two and then pull that game out.

126
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they were getting it pretty close. I

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: think it was then five in the final minute if

128
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, and closed.

129
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: And Florida missed two and they got the rebound or

130
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: but whatever, Well.

131
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: Look Texas Tech, Texas Tech could have knocked.

132
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 2: Yes, they could have absolutely and choked.

133
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: I mean they choked. That was the word that I

134
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: used to describe it, and I hate it. I hate

135
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: using that word, but it was the only thing to say.

136
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: They missed two front ends of one and one. They

137
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: had multiple opportunities, and then Clayton went nuts. They left

138
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the door open for a team that was going to

139
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: take advantage and did take advantage. And that the same

140
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: thing happened today, not that Auburn left the door open,

141
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: but that I can't remember who was on the broad

142
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: I think it was Clark Kello actually said it. He said, Look,

143
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: the thing about Clayton in particular is he doesn't miss

144
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: his opportunities. So when you give him a chance, he

145
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: is going to beat you. And you said, you know,

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: getting somebody in the grill. Nobody's man, We're getting his

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: grill all year. Yeah, I mean, he's just he's he's

148
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: something special, man, Like, I mean, looking at it, I'm

149
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: just like I have no idea what his future is,

150
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, past Florida. I have no idea, but he

151
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: just looks like a winner and he makes every big

152
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: shot that you could possibly want, and it seems like

153
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: everybody galvanizes around him, and he has this competitive energy.

154
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: Not to not to mention it, it comes with this kind

155
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: of it's a positive sense, like it's not he doesn't

156
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: play angry. He just plays like somebody that is just

157
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: supremely confident right that he can get the job done

158
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: and he's one game away from cutting down the nets.

159
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: He had a three pointer. Yeah, yes, I think they

160
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: were down by four out of that's possible.

161
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I that was a ridiculous shot, but it.

162
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: Was a it was a big shot. It was a

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: big shot score wise. You know, there's certain times during

164
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: a game where you're saying to yourself, your team is

165
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: up five, Uh, they missed like a breakaway lay up.

166
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: The other team HiT's a three, and then instead of

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: going up by seven or eight, you're up by two

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: and and you forget about that because it's in the

169
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: first half or early in the second half. But that

170
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: has such a big effect on the game. You know,

171
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: it's such a big swing when it's like a five,

172
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: and then the next thing you know, the other team's

173
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: going out a run, and instead of being up by

174
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: eight or down by four or something like that, he

175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: hit that three pointer. I thought maybe they were down

176
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: by four, but there was a guy in his face

177
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: and I'm like, get out of here. He's not gonna

178
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: make that, and he just buried it. I'm like, my goodness, man,

179
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: nothing more you can go and do defensively than what

180
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 2: they did. They just had that hand right there and

181
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: he hit it. He did that on a couple of threes,

182
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, so hey, he he wooed.

183
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: In the victory, Auburn turned the ball over. I don't

184
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: know how he turnovers they had in the second half,

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: but it was ridiculous. Bruce Pearl was beside himself. Two

186
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: great coaches too. I really like both guys. Unfortunately somebody

187
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: had to lose, So good for Warded and Golden though

188
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: advance in the little pubby take on Duke.

189
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it certainly looks that way right now.

190
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: If Houston comes back, as they're down double digits and

191
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: we're under ten minutes to play, if they come back,

192
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: then we're certainly going to be spending a lot of

193
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: time on that because it's going to mean something pretty

194
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: major happened in terms of a storyline shift. But yeah,

195
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the other thing about Clayton is, especially in that game,

196
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: when Florida was struggling against Auburn's defense, and both those

197
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: teams played great defense. That's one of the reasons there

198
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: were a lot of turnovers and why Auburn just in

199
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: the second half Florida locked them down, especially in the

200
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: first four or five minutes, found a way to tighten

201
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: it up and went on that run. I think it

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: was a ten ozer run to give them the lead.

203
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: But Clayton's the guy that when you're down eight, he

204
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: hits a three, cuts it to five. Those shots are

205
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: often harder to take than the one where you're down

206
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: two and then you can take a lead, right because

207
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: you missed that shot down eight, then you may be

208
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: about to get blown out. I heard this, Yeah, Like

209
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Like you have to hit that shot

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: that that like keep you in the game, shot, keep

211
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: you within shouting distance. Shot. That one's hard because it's

212
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: not going to change anything. It's just going to keep

213
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: you alive. And it can be hard because at that point,

214
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams and a lot of

215
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: guys are a little bit down on themselves because they're

216
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: just like, man, nothing's going right. We're doing a lot,

217
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: but man, we're just this thing's getting away from us.

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: And then that keeps you within shouting distance to your point.

219
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: And I heard that said about Reggie Miller years ago

220
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: that one of the great things about Reggie Miller was

221
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller is the guy that goes out there and

222
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: hits the big shot when you're down six, and then

223
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: the team around him kind of galvanized is there because

224
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: they didn't crumble in that moment. Clayton can do that,

225
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: and he can do the other thing just like Reggie

226
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: Miller could. It's it's a unique thing. But there are

227
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: certain guys that you watch in the NCAA tournament where

228
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: you just think that guy right there is just he's

229
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: on a different level and this tournament is about him.

230
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: And I think it was I think it was. Kenny

231
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Smith actually said that it reminded him of Jayalen Suggs.

232
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh freakin Zaga. Now zactly ended up not winning that championship,

233
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: but that crazy game against UCLA tripped the big shot,

234
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: the other half court shot, but just the way he

235
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: played throughout that tournament and the way every time they

236
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: needed something, Jayalen Suggs was there with the answer, and

237
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Clayton does have that feel to him. Now, how's that

238
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna end? Hopefully for Clayton, it's gonna end better than

239
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: it did for Jaywen Suggs. But the other thing, and

240
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: we'll wait until there's a final, because now we're back

241
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: to a single digit lead for Duke is Houston. Houston

242
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: is not just gonna roll over here. They're gonna fight.

243
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: But the one thing that you can say about this game, Ordey,

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and we'll be able to

245
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: break this down a lot more. And I want to

246
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: get more into the conversation of whether or not you

247
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: apparently you're not, but whether or not the vast majority

248
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: of the sports watching public is ready to or willing

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: to give up the madness for greatness when it comes

250
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to the seeding and when it comes to the lack

251
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: of upsets and all that. If you end up with

252
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen, the lead eight, final four, potential national

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: championship game with the kind of brands and the kind

254
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: of basketball players and talent and coaches and all this

255
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: that we have at this point, So we'll break that down.

256
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I've noted watching this Duke

257
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: Houston game is it just looks so hard for Houston

258
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: to get anything done on the offensive end. Like they

259
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: came out and I think they were nine of eleven

260
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: to open the second half, and they were down ten,

261
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: and at one point they had cut that lead to

262
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: like four or five. But every time they get just close,

263
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Duke will hit a big shot and that pulls them

264
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: back kind of out of reach a little bit. More So,

265
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Houston's having to fight just to keep this thing to

266
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: single digits, which is exactly this is had to do

267
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: last week.

268
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: This is the type of score they wanted. You know,

269
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: I saw them a couple of times when they played Arizona.

270
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: They they beat him sixty two fifty eight one of

271
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: the games. This look Houston's never a great offensive team.

272
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: They just grind it out, and this is exactly where

273
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: they wanted Duke. If you would have said, hey, Duke

274
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: has fifty nine points with six minutes left of the game,

275
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: Kelvin Sampson was like, Yeah, let's do it.

276
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Man.

277
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: I love that. And unfortunately they just haven't had enough

278
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: offense to keep up with Duke. Maybe they do pull

279
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: this thing out, but my goodness, man, they need to

280
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: get in the offseason work on getting a big time player,

281
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: big time shooter. But I mean, what he's done this year,

282
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: the yeah, it's but he's remarkable when he's done this year.

283
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: The three games they lost this year, two were what

284
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: neutral site games, and it's it's just obviously top ten opponents.

285
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: He's just had a phenomenal year. He's just taken him

286
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: to such great heights. There's been great coaching jobs this year.

287
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Man Samson. Samson's Sampson this year after year after year,

288
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know that people pay enough attention to

289
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: how good he's been. But to your point, he is

290
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to find some offense because they do this.

291
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: They are this hard nosed, incredible, rebounding, super physical, defensive

292
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: minded team that often is so streaky or subpart offensively

293
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: that they run into a team like this and they

294
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: just don't have the firepower and that I don't know

295
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: what the fix is other than you got to go

296
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: get a You got to go get a scorer who

297
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: is lethal for you like they've had. You know, they

298
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: had Jamal Shd and they've had some guys come through

299
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: that program that are just leaders and everything that you want,

300
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: but they don't have that guy that can just go

301
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: get a bucket any time.

302
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: You need one with the with the portal. My goodness, man,

303
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: you just get on the portal and dial up one

304
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: eight hundred offense and you should be able to get

305
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: one or two guys to transfer to your program.

306
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Yep, that's absolutely right. So we're Offen running here on

307
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday. He's Ernie Spanier. I'm Jason Martin. We

308
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: come back. We'll be probably in the last four or

309
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: five minutes of this second national semi final with Duke

310
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: leading Houston right now. But I do want to jump

311
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: into the discussion that Arnie set off, the lack of

312
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: madness in this tournament. Is it okay if the tradeoff

313
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: gets you greatness? We'll discuss next. It's Fox Sports Saturday here.

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Fox Sports Saturday. Here. He's Ernie Spanier.

320
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Martin. Good to be with you, all right,

321
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: So Houston's fighting. They are fighting, Arnie. Can I believe it?

322
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. I'm watching this, I'm like, wow,

323
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: I mean I think at one point we were on

324
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: the air with fifty eight, forty four, fifty forty five.

325
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: I believe Okay, So I was like thirteen. I thought

326
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: maybe it was fourteen for a second. But let's say thirteen.

327
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: That'd be a major. I don't want to say choke,

328
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: but but what a major. Letting this lead slip away

329
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: like that, especially for a team that doesn't have much offense,

330
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: can't believe it. And they had a chance to to

331
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: cut it down the three. What is it four? Right now?

332
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: Is that where it is?

333
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: That nine is fifty nine to fifty five, and that

334
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: chance to cut it to three or even two with

335
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: a three. The one thing that Houston does that you're

336
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: watching it, You're just like, I'm not really sure how

337
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: they're this closed because they went on this run. Obviously

338
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: defense helped them, but like watching him on offense, like

339
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: one guy had the ball and he took like twenty

340
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: seconds off the shot clock, standing beyond the three point line,

341
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: just kind of standing there, dribbling around and then he

342
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: gets caught trying to drive in, gets stopped around the

343
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: free throw line, turn run gets it out of his hand,

344
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: and they end up with this floater over Nipple that

345
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: doesn't go down. That's not a good shot, And it's

346
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: just kind of like, I don't know what the offensive

347
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: sets are, Like, I'm not really sure. Kelvin Sampson doing

348
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: an outrageously good job coaching, that's obvious, but like watching them,

349
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: watching Houston play offense sometimes, and I'm throughout this tournament

350
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: and throughout the regular season too, as good as they've been,

351
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they are offensively, like, I'm not

352
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: sure what that's supposed to look like.

353
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: Their offense comes from their playing great defense and getting

354
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: turnovers and pushing it up and getting the other team

355
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: back on their heels, and you know, just craziness out there.

356
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: That's that's what they do. That's that's that's what they

357
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: that's what makes Houston use to and give them credit.

358
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: Usually that doesn't dominate college basketball like they did, but

359
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: that's exactly what's going on right now.

360
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that's I mean that that's it.

361
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: But it's like, man, if they had a little bit

362
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: more fluidity on the offense side of the ball to

363
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: this game obvious defense. Not only they win this game,

364
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: they probably win this tournament, like because they would have

365
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: all that you need. But like you look down the

366
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: line and like Cryer has twenty four in this game.

367
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Certainly he has played well. But and he's what eight

368
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: to fourteen and six of nine from three, So he's

369
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: the guy, and he's been the guy for them to

370
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: get shots and to actually make some buckets. But there

371
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: was another one like that was a decent opportunity for Houston.

372
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: But RIM's out and there's no rebound on it. So

373
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Duke's gonna get it back at six point games. So

374
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: three minutes is left. Will keep you updated on what's

375
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: happening there, all right, So all four number one seeds advanced. Yeah,

376
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: the Elite eight was one versus two, one versus two,

377
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: one versus two, and one versus three. How was your bracket,

378
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: by the way, Arnie, how would your bracket in the

379
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Fox Sports standings? It was.

380
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: It was good until the until Auburn was today. Otherwise

381
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: I was in I'm sixth place, but I had Auburn one,

382
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: I would have finished first or second. Had Duke won

383
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: the whole thing, So I mean I was right in there.

384
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: I had three of the seven of the Final eight

385
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: and three of the Final four, and I had Duke

386
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 2: beating Auburn in the championship, so it was right there.

387
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 2: But unfortunately Auburn mons today.

388
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: So I had the entire Elite eight and ended up

389
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: with just two of the Final four because I picked

390
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: Michigan State and Tennessee to win their games. But I

391
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: have Duke Florida in the final, with Florida beating Duke,

392
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: so I've still got an opportunity here with Florida winning

393
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: that game. This one has blown back up because Cooper

394
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: Flag had a big time three and that's exactly what

395
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag should do, right, Like, that's what you kind

396
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: of want to see that guy do. He has twenty

397
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: five points in this game and a ridiculous blocked it

398
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: just pulled out as well. But two minutes fifteen seconds left.

399
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: So back to the point that you made in the

400
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: first second, because off the top, he started talking about

401
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: how boring the tournament is, the first week of the first, Thursday, Friday,

402
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So my question is this,

403
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: because Torres has made this point on our Show for

404
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: about three weeks. And this is such a smart point,

405
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody was saying it. Now I've

406
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: heard a few more people say it, but he was

407
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: the first one to say this, and that doesn't surprise

408
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: me considering how tightly he is with college basketball. But

409
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: he said, this is this is what's coming. Like, there's

410
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: no more Cinderella's. They're not going to happen in the

411
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: nil transfer portal era. It's just not gonna happen. Because

412
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: you look at Florida Atlantic, they're three best players, two

413
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: of them are playing on SEC schools. And Will Wade

414
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: kind of let the cat out of the bag when

415
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: he took the NC State job and he said, I

416
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: feel really good for these McNeese guys, for my guys here,

417
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: because you know they're gonna be playing somewhere else next year,

418
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: making it funny. And that's what it is. And so

419
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then we're not looking at a blip,

420
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: we're looking at a trend. We're looking at this is

421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: what college basketball is now. It's the haves and the

422
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: have nots, and it's going to become more the haves

423
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: and even less for the have nots. So The question

424
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: is how much does the tournament lose in your estimation, Arnie,

425
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: if the madness disappears, but the greatness of this tournament

426
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: later in later rounds enhances.

427
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: All right, well, first of all, I don't think the

428
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 2: madness is gonna disappear. I don't think it's gonna be

429
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: the haves and the have nots. So the company kids

430
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: are in the portal. There's just not enough openings for

431
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: all these kids to go to Power five conferences, power

432
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: five schools, and the plate for the good teams out there,

433
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: even the second half teams in the conference, you know,

434
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: the you know, the bad teams don't even have room

435
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: for you. Sooner or later, these have nots as you say,

436
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna get good college or actually be good high

437
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: school seniors, and they're gonna promise them playing time right

438
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: off the bat, and you're gonna see some elite tabalents

439
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: go to these as you say have nots. Now. The

440
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: only thing I I agree with, Torres is in the

441
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: system we have right now, perhaps we're gonna lose some

442
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: of the upsets you can't tell about buzzer beaters. Makes

443
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: no difference about that who the two teams are there

444
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: could be a buzzer beater on any two teams. But

445
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: why do you think that the committee and people want

446
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: to expand the NCAA so badly because they want more

447
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: madness and they're afraid this is gonna happen. That's why

448
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: they want to go from sixty eight to whatever one

449
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty or something like that. If they did that,

450
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: then you're guaranteed to have the madness every year because

451
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: there's so many games, and so many of those have

452
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: notts are going to be in the tournament for sure.

453
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: There's gonna be upsets, all right.

454
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: So let's let's take your point to high school or

455
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: that there's not enough spaces on the Power five. So

456
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: he goes in place for a small school. If he's

457
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: good as a freshman, he's gonna get paid somewhere else

458
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: to transfer. That's that's the whole idea, is that's true?

459
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: Right?

460
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: So he's got talent and he goes to a small school. Uh,

461
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: and there's still a small school, but you see the

462
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: talent and Arkansas Cherry Pickson, or Florida Cherry Pickson, or

463
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Natoates at Alabama or whatever else. They cherry picked that

464
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: guy and then the coach also disappears alongside all of that.

465
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: Like I do think that, like, yes, there's gonna be

466
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: talent for a year until it's proven, and then that

467
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: talent's gonna dissipate. So it's not even what you're not

468
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna have is that the small school that has a

469
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 1: decent level of talent for four years. It's just not

470
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna happen.

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 5: No.

472
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: But but Jason, even the big schools get cherry picked

473
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: my Arizona Wildcats, well it is their big guy to

474
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: North Carolina. And that's that's just one situation there. All

475
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: these big schools get their guys cherry picked out there,

476
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: we would lose two or three guys to the portal.

477
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: We got Caleble up from North Carolina when he came

478
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: to Arizona. That's gonna be common place in college basketball

479
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: and college football right now, just for the have nots

480
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 2: going to the big schools, but kids going from big

481
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: school to other big schools because they're being offered more

482
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: money or more playing time.

483
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: All right. So I remember telling Aaron throughout the basketball

484
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: soon it was just like, man, this, I really enjoyed

485
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: watching college basketball this year more than maybe I thought

486
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: I was going to entering the year because I just

487
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: felt like the games were better. I thought that I

488
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: was watching just a higher level of basketball all around,

489
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: Like I was just watching a sport that was being

490
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: played at a level that really made me interested on

491
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: a night to night basis in a lot more schools

492
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: and somebody that grew up in acc Territory and grew

493
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: up on Tobacco Road in the nineties, you know, I

494
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: was there for all of that, and I just I

495
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: felt like I was not wasting my time watching that

496
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: regular season, and it hadn't been that way for a

497
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: couple of years and probably a handful of years as.

498
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: To new conferences, because I've enjoyed it. Yeah, I enjoyed

499
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: the Big twelve regular season more so than I even imagine.

500
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: The Pac twelve used to bore me with the whole

501
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: no offense. But the Oregon States and the Washington States

502
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: and where the heck are they? And nobody cares about it,

503
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: and it's so far out of the way you can't

504
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: pick it out of the map, and it's so late

505
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: at night, and it just it wasn't drag man, and

506
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: it was just horrible for the viewers, horrible for everything

507
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: out there. Cal and Stanford, and it just wasn't a

508
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: big You thought it was a big time conference, but

509
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: it really wasn't when it came to viewership. That's why

510
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: maybe we've enjoyed it more. I've really enjoyed watching the

511
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: Big Twelve this year. They were a good seven eight

512
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: teams deep. This year. Kansas was like the sixth or

513
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: seventh best team in the Big twelve.

514
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Big twelve, Big East obviously, and then certainly the

515
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: Big ten in the SEC and what you got there,

516
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: and then of course you still had I mean, I'm

517
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: always going to be partial watching ACC even though.

518
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the ACC wasn't as dominant as you know. Yeah,

519
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: not the old it's your dear Dad's a SEC. That's

520
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: not that's not the old things.

521
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: It absolutely is not. And it still doesn't feel right

522
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: to me that Maryland is not there. But yeah, I

523
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: just I felt like the I felt, yeah, I felt

524
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: the I just felt I felt the basketball was better played.

525
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: And Tore said, right, because there's a lot more talent there.

526
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: There's more talent on those teams because the top of

527
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: college basketball has gotten so much better. The problem is

528
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: that the floor is falling out underneath now. We're gonna

529
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: have to see what happens in the next three to

530
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: five years. Like maybe this is an aberration, but I

531
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: could see this being the way it's gonna be because

532
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: there are enough spots when you include some of those

533
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: mid level Big Conference teams. And the thing is, the

534
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Cinderella has come from the no name schools that no

535
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: one talks about at all, Right, Like, it's not the

536
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: same when Iowa goes on a run when they're at

537
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: number eight or nine set, and I know they've been

538
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: a lot higher than that in recent years, but like

539
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: just one of those middle of the road teams, it's

540
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: not quite the same. It is the Valparaisos and the

541
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: Northern Iowas and the College of Charleston's and those kind

542
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: of teams. Those are the ones. And so you know,

543
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: when I told my mother in law's like, yeah, I

544
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: had the entire elite eight in my brackets, She's like wow,

545
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: And I was just like, you know, I bet you

546
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people have one of the best brackets

547
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: that they've ever had because the only thing that you

548
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: had to do was avoid the tendency to expect upsets, right,

549
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: And I just didn't when I went through the bracket

550
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: and I got through it, I realized, Man, I did

551
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: not pick many upsets, but I didn't change anything. I

552
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: just said, well, I mean I might go down with it.

553
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: This is what I think is gonna happen. And generally

554
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: that's how this tournament played out.

555
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: And the elite are gonna stay the lag. And I'm

556
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: not talking about Cooper Flag here, but take something but

557
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: like Clayton Junior. Suppose let's say he was a junior,

558
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: a sophomore and he was thinking of coming out, and

559
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: most kids would come out and say, Okay, I'm gonna

560
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: come out, but they say, you know, if you come

561
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 2: back for another year or two, you'll get big money.

562
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: You'll make this, You'll make what a million, two million,

563
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about fighting it out in the NBA.

564
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: You'll increase your draft stock. More kids like that are

565
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: gonna have a tendency to stay in college and get

566
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: the money now, which means the elite teams are gonna

567
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: be able to keep these guys instead of losing them

568
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: to the NBA.

569
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: All right, so we're not going to lose anything except maybe,

570
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, we're gonna lose loudness for greatness right

571
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: now as we bring in Steve de Seger for the

572
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: first time tonight and find out what's happening in the

573
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: world of sports. And hopefully I'll get a dig or

574
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: two at Arnie Spaniard from Steve during this segment as well.

575
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 6: No, no, we all enjoy the Arizona Wildcat Hey.

576
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't a good game for us last week.

577
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 6: That yeah, Wildcats coming through the tournament oho to the

578
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 6: final four. It could be Florida against Duke on Monday night.

579
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 6: It's looking like Duke will hold on and get a

580
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 6: victory in this National Semi five. Houston just committed a

581
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 6: technical foul, knocking the ball out of the hands of

582
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 6: the inbounds passer under the basket. Can't do that. Duke

583
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 6: is up sixty seven sixty one over Houston with a

584
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 6: minute fourteen to play. The Cougars shooting just thirty six

585
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: percent from the floor overall great from three point range tonight,

586
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 6: nine of twenty, made almost half of them, but overall

587
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 6: not shooting well and behind most of the night. In fact,

588
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 6: Houston was down fourteen with about eight minutes to go.

589
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 6: It was fifty nine to forty five. Then the Cougars

590
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 6: went on a ten er run. It was under four

591
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 6: minutes left. They were within fifty nine to fifty five,

592
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 6: but Duke has the ball and the lead after the

593
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 6: technical free throw minute to go sixty seven sixty one

594
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 6: and Cooper Flagg has twenty seven points. He was named

595
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 6: Wooden Award winner today, beating out Jenni Broom of Auburn.

596
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 6: That ceremony will be Friday. Broom well his season is

597
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: over Auburn, although they led by eight at the half.

598
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: In the earlier semifinal, Auburn lost to Florida seventy nine

599
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 6: Walter Clayton with thirty four points. Broom finished with fifteen

600
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 6: and on free throws bad again three for seven, including

601
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,680

608
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 6: last night. Yes, they did play one Milwaukee in overtime

661
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: doing baseball scores, I tuned out because I am not

662
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretending like baseball has not started yet, because for

663
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: my team, I'm not sure they realize that it has. Right.

664
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Right, you're a Raise fan, So yeah.

665
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: It's not going well, Arnie. I don't know if you

666
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: knew this, but it started out oh and seven and

667
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss half the season for beds and that

668
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: means he's ineligible for the playoffs. Scores one in seven.

669
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some work just to get there. But

670
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: I know, look, you start with the padres and the

671
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 1: Dodgers on the road. It's gonna be tough. It's not

672
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: like I didn't expect it. It was gonna be difficult. But

673
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: thankfully the Marlins you get them last night, but then

674
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: tonight you look up and it's worse. You look up

675
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: and it's a shutout and it's like eight nothing. It's

676
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: just okay, this is gonna be a good guys, It's

677
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a good baseball season.

678
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's all geeked up about the Dodgers and

679
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: how many games they're gonna win. And when they lose

680
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: one game, people like what happened? I was not possible

681
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: and it's crazy.

682
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: And there are one hundred and sixty two of them. Yeah,

683
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: someone prepare for the fact they will lose a few.

684
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah with two.

685
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: Three, baby, they got one sixty to two.

686
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: That but they can make a run. It was it

687
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,959
Speaker 2: one sixteen by the Seattle Mariners. I think that that's

688
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: a strong possibility.

689
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: They're if they're healthy, they absolutely can. You're right, Like,

690
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about them at

691
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: this point. They don't even need the torpedo bats.

692
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: It's good. I think it's good for basics. I know

693
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: people are ripping them about that, But I think it's

694
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: good for baseball. More people are now to than just

695
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: to see what the Dodgers are going to do.

696
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm ripping these officials because they've broken the flow of

697
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: this game.

698
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: They had they had to, they had to look at

699
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: they had.

700
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: To, but they seem to do it in every game

701
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: this one. I understand. We'll come back. It won't be over,

702
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: but it'll be close to over, and we'll have all

703
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: of the We'll have all of whatever goes down when

704
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: you come back here. It's Sports Saturday on Fox Sports Radio.

705
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: What do you say? This is Fox Sports incredible.

706
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, they were down by six, they get a three,

707
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: they get a turnover, they get a three, and then

708
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: they're on the foul line. They get fouled and they

709
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: make two foule shots. They got eight points without Duke

710
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: ever getting a possession.

711
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about this a lot, but I'll

712
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: tell you this is absolute chaos at the end of

713
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: this second National semi final. And that reminds me about

714
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,360

Speaker 1: hundred dollars gift card Detractor Supply. Some brackets might be

730
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: about to get busted because there's two and a half

731
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: seconds left.

732
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: Quick, quickly talk strategy. If you're up by one, they

733
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: have no timeouts, Duke, so that one's two. Do you

734
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 2: miss it on purpose with three point seven seconds left,

735
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: knowing they got to get the rebound and throw up

736
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 2: a half quarter. But if you make it you go

737
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: up three, but then they can take it out of

738
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: bounds and throw it to the half court and get

739
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 2: a good shot off.

740
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: All right, So at best though, Arnie, if you've made

741
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: a tie free throws, it's a tie. Yeah, And I

742
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: just I think that's that's the percentage play he made it. Yeah,

743
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: they make the three, then that's fine.

744
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's if you want a three pointer

745
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 2: for a tie game, or do you want a half

746
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: court shot to possibly lose? Those are your Those would

747
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: have been the two options. And it doesn't look like, uh,

748
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: Duke is gonna do it. They missed. Houston has pulled

749
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: off the upset.

750
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: And not believe not that they won, not that Houston

751
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: was able to win because they were to come back good,

752
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: that they won based on what we have watched. We

753
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: don't even have time to break it all down right

754
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: this second. Luckily we've got two more hours.

755
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 2: They I know when just recently Houston had or a

756
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 2: Duke got an eighty four percent chance of winning on

757
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: the percentage of thing when it was fourteen, it must

758
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: have been in the ninety five percent or something like that.

759
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: This is a heartbreaking loss for Duke. They just let

760
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: this one sup right through their fingers. There's no way

761
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: other way to put it. They even up to the

762
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 2: last minute, like I said, they got a three, a steal,

763
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: another three, uh, and then they got then they they

764
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 2: fouled them and went over a Cooper flag, went over.

765
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: The back, they fouled Proctor, and then they the foul

766
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: call on Cooper flag. We're gonna have a long talk

767
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: about it, man. I'm not saying yeah, that's that. That's

768
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: the argument is how many times is that never? Even

769
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: you would never think of blowing the whistle right there?

770
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: Oh, people are happy with the win against Duke.

771
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know Twitter, Yeah, this this game was

772
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: not officiating a way where you were looking at it

773
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: thinking Duke was getting a lot of calls like that.

774
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: That's not gonna be an argument that you can make

775
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: even even if that flag call had not been made.

776
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: And I will say this other the officials were bad

777
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: in this game both ways. They were inconsistent in how

778
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: they applied almost identical situations at different times. But either way,

779
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Houston and Florida is your National Championship game. Duke is out.

780
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: They were up thirteen points in the second half of

781
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: this game. They were up almost ten, just a couple

782
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: of minutes ago, and they lose it seventy to sixty seven.

783
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: As Jim Nantz in the crowd is cheering and Mike

784
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: Kozhsky in the crowd is not.

785
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: Like he was in the crowd and cheering.

786
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: He was. He was exciting. You gotta be. You gotta

787
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,959
Speaker 1: feel good for him. Oh yeah, And look, you gotta

788
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: feel good for Kelvin Sampson also.

789
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I mean this was I had him out.

790
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean they were really like eight or nine to

791
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 2: one to win when they were down by so much.

792
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: All right, so we got two more hours. We're gonna

793
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: talk about that foul and everything from the final four.

794
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: What a night you're listening to Fox Sports.

795
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: The National Championship is set, and if you turned off

796
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: the television wow in the final minutes, you might have

797
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: missed something. We're gonna talk about it. The guy that

798
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: said wow, his name is Arny sp You know that

799
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: voice anywhere you either love it or loathe it. It

800
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to him as long as you're listening. I'm

801
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: Jason Martin Aratrres is there. I just sent him a

802
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: text and just said I want to know what the

803
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: reaction was where you are to that foul call.

804
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 2: Because I see what curious, I see what our fellow

805
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio so saying, like Doug Gottlieb said the

806
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: call on Flag was atrocious. Yeah, our buddy Brian know

807
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: when said the brutal call that was called on Cooper Flag. So,

808
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 2: and a lot of people are saying that, I'm gonna

809
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: have to really look at it a couple more times.

810
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we're on the air, but I mean, just

811
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: just as it happened, boom boom, I'm like, Okay, good call,

812
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: But don't don't blame that one call on why Duke

813
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 2: lost a fourteen point lead. Don't do that, you know.

814
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: No, certainly, yes, let's let's let's chill out for just

815
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: a second. Let's breathe, let's exhale twenty one to eight

816
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: run in the final eight to seventeen of the game.

817
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: We need a minute. We got to call him the chaos.

826
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: I want to ask you a quick question before we

827
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: even start. We've seen teams choke like the Atlanta Falcons

828
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: against New England in the in the Super Bowl. You know,

829
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 2: teams like I remember when Portland choked Game seven away

830
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: to the Lakers and never really turned much into anything

831
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 2: after that. I'm just wondering because there been such a

832
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: big brand, big name team that's choked the game away

833
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: in this type of matter to win a championship or

834
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: to go to a championship wait like Cowboys, I think,

835
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: oh absolutely, really absolutely why because one because of the score.

836
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: Two because they had they even got the technical foul

837
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: that really should have put euston a way. Three they

838
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 2: they really all they had to do was take care

839
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: of the ball, and they blew like a seven point

840
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: lead within a minute. They had, sobody did they had?

841
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: They had a win percentage of ninety percent for the

842
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: most part up to the last thirty seconds. So yeah, absolutely,

843
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: I think they let this one slip right through their

844
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: fingers and choked it away.

845
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: Great.

846
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 2: I gotta give credit to Houston though, playing the whole,

847
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: you know, forty minutes and not giving up. Absolutely, I

848
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: got to do that.

849
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: But that's Kelvin Man.

850
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that's totally the coach. But you know, let's

851
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,479
Speaker 2: say it the way it is, big name Brandon Duke

852
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: people are probably loving this. I'm looking on Twitter this

853
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 2: showing all the Duke fans that were at the game.

854
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: They're just stunned. Who would have thought this was going

855
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: to happen when Duke had that type of lead. Like

856
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: I said, can you tell me a big name team

857
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: or a big name brand that's lost in this type

858
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 2: of fashion when they pretty much had the game won

859
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: by a ninety percent according to the computers.

860
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: As a ninety seven percent probability of Duke winning the

861
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: game with two and a half minutes.

862
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: Left, Oh my goodness, maybe.

863
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: Sixty four to fifty five at that point in time,

864
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: and Duke had a ninety seven point one percent chance

865
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: to win at that point. This is per Chris Banini

866
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: over at the Athletic. Is the fargest eleven one run

867
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: over the last minute, fourteen seconds and Duke. This here's

868
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: so to your choke point. I asked that question not

869
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: because I necessarily disagree with you. I just wanted you

870
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: to defend it. But here, I think we'll give you

871
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: the defense that you won. And look, Houston's the best

872
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: defensive team in the country, right, so it's going to

873
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: be difficult. But even so, h Duke is the best

874
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: offensive team in the country, and defense actually won this game.

875
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: But Duke made two field goals in the last thirteen

876
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: minutes of this game.

877
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: Two points in the last eight minutes.

878
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: And none in the final three minutes. So literally, but

879
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: even with that, they were up nine with two and

880
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: a half left. So yes, the foul is not the

881
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: only thing. However, the foul is what led to the lead,

882
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: the foul happening in that moment. I would tell you

883
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: that if that foul is not called there in that moment,

884
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: the chances are pretty good Duke wins that basketball.

885
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: No, that means Houston still has the ball down by one,

886
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: they were going to get the rebound. They were down

887
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: by one with.

888
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: The It's different though than being up by one and no, yeah,

889
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: you're right.

890
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they're on the way to the victory,

891
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: but still it's still anybody's game when you have the

892
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 2: ball and you're down by one.

893
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: I only think Shire may have maybe made a coaching

894
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: error in what way by calling that time out when

895
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: the game was seventy to sixty or not seventy sixty

896
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: seven when it was still a one point game. Well no, no, no, no,

897
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry when it's the three point game and instead

898
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: of just letting them play it out, you called the

899
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: timeout when you went over half court.

900
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 2: H yeah, you know what though, did they Okay, yes,

901
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: they called timeout.

902
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 1: They didn't have a good play coming out of that timeout,

903
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: like they didn't even have They didn't have they didn't

904
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: get somebody free off that inbounds passed that was going

905
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: to be able to do anything.

906
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 2: That was twice now they almost had it stolen. The

907
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: first time they had the review that they got the

908
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: ball back, and the second time they inbounded after talking

909
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: it over, they got it stolen. They really have nobody

910
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 2: to blain with themselves. Seven point lead and they never

911
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 2: even got Duke never even got the ball back until

912
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 2: it was a one point lead, because there was a three.

913
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: A stealing a three. That that to me is that's

914
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 2: the killer that that's what happens. You know, the other

915
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: team comes back, gets a steal, hits another three. Next thing,

916
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: you know, it's a one point game and there's still

917
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 2: a minute left in the game.

918
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, look all of that is accurate. We got

919
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 1: to talk about the foul because that's what everyone is

920
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: going right talking right exactly on this network and everywhere

921
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: else up until the championship game on Monday. I watched

922
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: that replay a couple of different times. During the last

923
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: commercial break, I reround, I rewound it so that I

924
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: could see it again. I just don't think you can

925
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: make that call right there. I that was maybe technically

926
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: you could call a foul there, but there was nothing

927
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: about that that warranted and over the back foul at all. Like,

928
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: you need to watch it again if you haven't, arny,

929
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: like you need to go find it, because.

930
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: I've got you.

931
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm a terrible call.

932
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now, and yeah, it's it's

933
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: it's that's something I would have called the foul on.

934
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: I totally agree. But I mean not just one call,

935
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: and I know that led to the lead by Houston,

936
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 2: but one call in the whole game. There's so many

937
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 2: different to turnovers and the miss shots. And I mean,

938
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: Duke has Duke's not going to look back at this

939
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: one play. They're gonna look back at the last ten

940
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: minutes of the game and see what they did wrong.

941
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: And cause that's a hundred rights, I mean, that's one

942
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: hundred right right, I know you it to What they

943
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: did was they left it in a position where the

944
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: refs could do that to them.

945
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.

946
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: That's the problem. It was not one thing that happened.

947
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: It was the fact that they put themselves in a

948
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: position yep, down the stretch of that game where the

949
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: refs could steal it from them, the refs could do

950
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: something to take it from them.

951
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: I have a Twitter feed that just has to play

952
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 2: over and over again.

953
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: It's a bad call, man, it's a bad call.

954
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: But if I told you this was in the first

955
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: half and the score was eight to six and they

956
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: called the foul, you wouldn't even you wouldn't said you said.

957
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 3: So what.

958
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, if I saw the replay, I'd

959
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: still say, really were calling that? Oh man, this one's

960
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: not gonna be fun because there's gonna be seventy foul

961
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: calls in this game like that is over officiated, even

962
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: at eight to six. I don't think that call.

963
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: I just sent it to you. It's the one reach over.

964
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean he does put his hands on him and

965
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: the ball did go over, you know, the defender's head,

966
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 2: and it would have been Duke's ball, but you know,

967
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: actually it might have been it could have been Houston's

968
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: bubb as there was another guy behind Cooper flag trying

969
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 2: to get the ball. There wasn't going to be definitely.

970
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: Dukes texted Torres, who's there? And I just said, what's

971
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: the reaction where you are to that foul call? And

972
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: he just sent me a couple of lines. He said,

973
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: tough call, but total meltdown. And that's basically what we said.

974
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: Right like to you point, it wasn't one call, but

975
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: that call stunck. That call was unfortunate. But that call

976
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: didn't lose you the game because you had already put

977
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,919
Speaker 1: yourself in a position to where one call could swing

978
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: a basketball.

979
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: You don't blow a fourteen point lead with you know,

980
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 2: ten minutes left, eight minutes left of the game, they

981
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 2: still had a nine.

982
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: Point lead, none point lead with two h five left.

983
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't do that when you're a duke like

984
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: that at all. I just I mean, John Shire is

985
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: not going to be able to sleep for months after

986
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 2: this one. This is this, This is about as bad

987
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: as it gets. They're gonna be talking about this one

988
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: for years and years to come when the NCAA tournament

989
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: comes by every year. It's the sixth the fifth largest

990
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 2: comeback in Final four history. So think about that for

991
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: all the years we've had that. This is crazy.

992
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: So again here is another and now Cooper Flag. We'll

993
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: see what you know, what we're talking about with Cooper

994
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: Flag years down the road from now. But Carmelo Anthony,

995
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: who goes into the Basketball Hall of Fame, you know

996
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: that was announced as as part of that class up

997
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: when we can talk about later on the show. He's

998
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: the freshman that got it done right. He took that

999
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: Syracuse team to a national championship team. Here's another one

1000
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: of these freshmen at Duke that didn't do it. Zion

1001
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: wasn't able to do it with that loaded squad and

1002
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. And I will say this about Cooper Flagg

1003
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: in this game, like they they defended him extremely well.

1004
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: I think he was eight of nineteen from the field.

1005
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: I swear to Arnie, I didn't see him actually make anything.

1006
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: I saw him make one dunk, I think, but outside

1007
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: and big three, Okay, I did see that. Outside of that,

1008
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: every shot that I saw him take he missed, and

1009
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: none of them were easy. It's not like these were

1010
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: shots you should make. But Cooper Flagg being the Wooden

1011
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: player of the year, I think they needed more. And

1012
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: I mean he gave him twenty seven, but even down

1013
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: the stretch there in that last sequence, he wasn't he

1014
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: had a turnois.

1015
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave him twenty seven, and he didn't shoot

1016
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: well from three point line.

1017
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: What I'm not saying. I didn't say it was a

1018
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: bad game. It's just kind of like it does seem

1019
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: like he missed a lot of shots in this game.

1020
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that credit has to

1021
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 1: go to Houston, like being the best defensive team, making

1022
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: sure there's a hand in his face. Even though he's

1023
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: gonna get you on some of those, if you're right

1024
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: there for him, you know he's also gonna miss a few,

1025
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: and he missed enough.

1026
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 2: He missed enough. But this was a total team effort.

1027
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: This was the turnovers down the stretch. The Duke had

1028
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 2: seven turnovers, but it seemed like they had fifty because

1029
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 2: each turnover was so glaring. That one on the inbound

1030
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 2: pass that led to the three pointer that could have

1031
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 2: been kind of his ten turnovers because that was that

1032
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: was the one that got used to the right back

1033
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 2: in this thing. Next thing, you know, they're only down

1034
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: by three. It is an incredible or actually four on

1035
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 2: that point. Incredible what Duke did to let this one

1036
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 2: slip away? And you know, John Shire, he's a young coach.

1037
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if this happens if coach k is

1038
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 2: on the sideline. You know, I wondering if he gets

1039
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: the you know, everybody all calm down, they you know,

1040
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: relax and they pull out the victory. John Shire, I

1041
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: don't know if he was doing the right things down

1042
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 2: the stretch to help do get the victory in this look.

1043
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 1: I think the difference. I think what what you will

1044
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 1: hear from the Duke fans that are very miffed about

1045
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: this is those inbounds places, the one that was stolen,

1046
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: the one that was almost stolen, and then that final

1047
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: one after the time out where it just didn't look

1048
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: like he had something drawn up properly.

1049
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: Right.

1050
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: Those are the plays where Cok's name is going to

1051
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: be invoked. Well, the plays he made his he was

1052
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: able to make his bread on even in the moments

1053
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: when you thought you had him, Duke would draw something

1054
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: up coming out of a But here's the thing. There

1055
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: are two things that you can talk about in this tournament.

1056
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: The Houston inbounds play that kept them in this tournament

1057
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: a couple of rounds ago, right, that incredible play to

1058
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: beat Michigan, and then Duke doing the exact opposite against

1059
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 1: them a couple of rounds later. It just shows those

1060
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 1: little details can really bite you lad in games.

1061
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Totally agree with that one hundred percent.

1062
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 2: By the way, I saw that some of our buddy

1063
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: Todd Furman put out Houston as when they were down

1064
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: by fourteen points. You could have bet Houston in live

1065
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 2: betting as a twenty five to one underdog to go

1066
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 2: ahead and still win the game twenty Think about that,

1067
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 2: twenty so one thousand dollars would have brought you back

1068
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 2: twenty five g in that situation. How crazy is.

1069
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: That ninety seven point one percent chances to win the thing?

1070
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: Two and a half men has left. I mean, we're

1071
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about this for a while, because you

1072
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: remember what I said when they were down like nine

1073
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: points or something like that. We were about thirty minutes

1074
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: into the show. I said, if we're talking about a Houston,

1075
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: if we're talking about Houston winning this game, he's probably

1076
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna if something big happened, Well, something big happened.

1077
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: Something big happened, that's for sure.

1078
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:40,360
Speaker 1: Yes, something big happened. Seventy to sixty seven the final,

1079
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: So it'll be Houston and Florida on Monday. So my

1080
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 1: champion was Florida. I had him beating Duke. Not gonna

1081
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: have to do that at this point in time. But

1082
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: and I think Kelvin Sampson said this in his postgame

1083
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: interview on the floor. He said, Look, I don't think

1084
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: you really lose anything unless you quit. Like, yeah, you

1085
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,479
Speaker 1: might get beat, but you don't lose unless you quit.

1086
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: And his team didn't, and they haven't in any circumstance

1087
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: this whole year, even when it looks like things are

1088
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,479
Speaker 1: not going well, they don't quit. If you don't quit

1089
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: against Dupe down fourteen, if you don't quit against Duke

1090
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,479
Speaker 1: down nine with two h five left in the game,

1091
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: you're not ever gonna quit. Like, you're actually going to

1092
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: have to make sure they're in the ground all the time.

1093
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: Is gonna have to be off the clock, or there's

1094
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to be no mathematical way to come back,

1095
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: or Houston will find a way to beat you, like

1096
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: I think Florida. The reason I picked Floria is because

1097
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: I felt like entering the tournament they were playing the

1098
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: best basketball right right. But you look at this Houston

1099
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: team's like, well, they're gonna have to play their guts

1100
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: out on Monday because Houston will show up.

1101
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 2: The doubt about that. You know, It's interesting because our Brianna,

1102
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 2: our producer Forsite's like, who do you guys want to get?

1103
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 2: We have a strewer out in the game, and she's like,

1104
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: what happens if Houston comes back? I go get Kelvin Sampson.

1105
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: I go that And I used to know him from

1106
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 2: a long time ago, from his days in Washington State.

1107
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's going to remember me,

1108
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: but I go, if he comes back from something like this,

1109
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 2: just have the stringer wait for him for he does

1110
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 2: all the interviews, and then see if you can get

1111
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: on because that's that's who I want to get. On.

1112
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: I want to see what he has to say. I

1113
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 2: want to see you know what he told his players

1114
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 2: with two minutes left in the game. It's just fascinating

1115
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: how he kept his team just keep pushing and pushing

1116
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: and pushing.

1117
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: And so by the way, and at this point about

1118
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: these four teams, Duke is a brand you can hate,

1119
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: but like all four of these coaches are kind of

1120
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: likable dudes, right, Oh, absolutely, Sampson and Pearl, and then

1121
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: of course you got the young guns at Duke in Florida.

1122
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: But there's not really, there's not really that villain.

1123
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: I was a good interesting story when I used to work

1124
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: for another network in Chicago right across the street. I mean,

1125
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: you could hit like a seven iron and hit the

1126
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 2: school with a school called Glenn North and their star

1127
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 2: athlete was John Shire and he was a great player.

1128
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: He was just awesome. And it came down between Illinois

1129
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 2: and Duke with the two schools that he wanted to

1130
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: pick from his coach. The coach's brother from his high

1131
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 2: school was the head coach in Illinois at the time,

1132
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 2: so some people thought maybe he was gonna end up

1133
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 2: going there, but he picked Duke from day one, and

1134
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 2: what a great pick that was for him. But you

1135
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 2: have to think that he's gonna be blaming himself for

1136
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: this loss, no doubt about that.

1137
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see and maybe we'll have somebody

1138
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: or at veryt least I'll be able to read some

1139
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: quotes about what John Shire will say in the post game.

1140
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 2: But I will take responsibility response, Oh absolutely, he'll He'll

1141
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 2: have to take responses. You know, he drove up the

1142
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 2: same play, the same inbound play after it got reviewed,

1143
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 2: So you think after it got reviewed, he would have

1144
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: changed and said, you know what, let's mix it up.

1145
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 2: They almost came up with the steel there, actually almost

1146
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 2: came up with the steel twice. So I think I

1147
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 2: would have changed it up and so let's go with

1148
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: a different inbound play on that situation.

1149
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes it takes real pain to learn. You usually

1150
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: don't learn the most on the tops. You'd learn in

1151
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: the valleys. And Duke has found themselves in a valley. Tonight,

1152
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: as Houston wins its seventy to sixty seven, more reaction

1153
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: from the final four National Championship is set. He's Arnie Spaniard,

1154
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,680

1171
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: The numbers are in ninety nine point nine percent of

1172
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 2: the people are saying on Twitter that Duke choked it

1173
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 2: instead of Uston winning it. I want you to know that.

1174
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: Well, no, I mean, like like I said, I think

1175
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, I mean it was a huge collapse

1176
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: and missshots and only making two buckets in the last

1177
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: thirteen minutes four turnovers over that time as well. They

1178
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: pretty much gave the full on recipe for a comeback

1179
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: from the other side, and Houston snatched it from him.

1180
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this much hated love. Oh great, great,

1181
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 2: since I don't know since like the Cowboys was like this.

1182
00:58:54,480 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 2: It's incredible, It's crazy.

1183
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: It is no question about it. We've got somebody out

1184
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: at the final four right now, so we're going to

1185
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: bring him in here in just a second. Nice seventy

1186
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: to sixty seven. Houston wins over Duke. So again, we

1187
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: pretty much got derailed our entire show. We had all

1188
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: these other things planned, but it was all subject to

1189
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: change based on how games ended, especially if this thing

1190
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: ended in some kind of historic fashion. So I think

1191
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: we're ready to go. So let's go out to the

1192
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: final four. This is Javie Francis Javier. I guess we

1193
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: could say congratulations to you, my friend. So how was that? Like?

1194
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: It was certainly fun for us to watch, But what's

1195
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: your emotions at this point in.

1196
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 4: Time right now? And I'm just excited a lot of

1197
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 4: motion going on right now. But I'm glad that we

1198
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 4: got to win. We'll get to another night.

1199
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: Oh javere. You gotta take us through the last minute

1200
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 2: or so. You're down by seven, you get the three,

1201
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 2: you almost get the steal, they review it, they give

1202
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 2: it back to Duke. Then you get the steal. You

1203
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: make the three. It's a one point game. Things are

1204
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 2: going crazy out there. The coach is yelling. What's going on?

1205
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 2: What's the coach yelling at you? What's he's saying to you?

1206
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 4: Guys?

1207
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 5: Up?

1208
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Uh?

1209
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: You know, telling us like we here, you know, uh,

1210
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 4: we here? You know more that, Yeah, that's finish the thing.

1211
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: So you guys playing a way that just feels very

1212
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Kelvin sampson ish to me, What is it like to

1213
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: play for him? I know he's an intense guy, but

1214
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: he's so well respected, but he also comes across as

1215
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's just not gonna let you quit.

1216
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 4: No, for sure, for sure, I think everything that you says,

1217
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 4: uh it's correct. Uh, it's you know, it's not easy

1218
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 4: playing for a guy like him. You really have to

1219
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 4: have a thick scam the playful guy like him, But

1220
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 4: just knowing that all he's trying to do is just

1221
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 4: get the best out of here.

1222
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 2: Javerir, did you did you ever say to yourself, or

1223
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 2: we're not gonna make it this time. The comeback is

1224
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: not gonna happen. We're gonna fall short. There's not enough time.

1225
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 4: This time, or what uh another there? Uh you know,

1226
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 4: we we've we've been a position like that before a

1227
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 4: few times this year. You know, we just found the weak.

1228
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 5: We just kept kept the head, kept the head in

1229
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 5: the game.

1230
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: Do you feel like your defense started to did it

1231
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: get better in the second half or did you just

1232
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: have more success because it seemed like their offense came

1233
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: apart and it wasn't just that they were missing shots.

1234
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: You guys were in their face continuously. It just looked

1235
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: like everything they were doing was a lot more difficult

1236
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: in the second half.

1237
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 5: But if I think it picked up in the second half, Uh,

1238
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 5: you know, first half it was like there there were

1239
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 5: uh just going and getting everything.

1240
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 4: But for sure thing I defense picked up the second half.

1241
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: What did you think about the foul on Cooper flag

1242
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: at the end of the game that gave you guys

1243
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: two foul shots to give you.

1244
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Guys the lead.

1245
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 4: Uh, you know we needed that, We needed that. Uh,

1246
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 4: you know, and and and I'm just you know works

1247
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 4: on those street throws every single day and and and

1248
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 4: the game like no, like tonight, you know it came in,

1249
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 4: Uh knock knocked down. We needed most.

1250
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,959
Speaker 1: Florida on Monday. You don't have a lot of time

1251
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: to prepare for that. You know they're pretty good. How

1252
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: excited are you for the matchup with just another number

1253
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: one seed in this all number one final four? No?

1254
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 4: Excited? You know we get to play another game, We

1255
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 4: get to put the you know, Houston jerse yone one

1256
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:07,880

Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed just you guys. I'm gonna let you

1258
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: guys get back to the celebration here in just a second.

1259
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: But man, what a what a just an incredible moment.

1260
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: What's it been like to be with these guys on

1261
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: this run. I think that's the best way to send

1262
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: you off is just take us into the locker room

1263
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: with this team and how tightly you guys have been

1264
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: knit throughout this season.

1265
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, we have a great google guys. You know,

1266
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 4: I think our chemistry on and off the court, Uh

1267
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 4: just is the reason why you know we're here to

1268
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 4: this day. Step boy, you know, my my four years

1269
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 4: being there, I think this this is the closest team

1270
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 4: I've been Uh, like we're with each other, like every

1271
01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 4: single day he's going out in practice like that at

1272
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 4: the house chilling, you know, you know, on the game,

1273
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 4: let's do this, let's do that. No, And I think

1274
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 4: that's a big reason.

1275
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Why did you see? How did you see how happy

1276
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 2: a Keem was and Lance and everybody there was that crazy?

1277
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 4: Or what.

1278

Speaker 1: A lot of red in that crowd? Man? You guys

01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: what should be an outstanding title game on Monday.

1284
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 4: Yes, thank you.

1285
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: That's Javerir Francis of The Victorious. I can't believe I'm

1286
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: saying that based on the game that we were watching

1287
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: when we came on the air, The Victorious Houston Cougar's

1288
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: just got to be just absolute chaos out there. Let's

1289
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 1: get to Steve de Sager coming off of that, find

1290
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: out what's happening elsewhere in sports if he has come

1291
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: down from what we saw.

1292
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 6: No, there's nothing else happening. And that's it, right, This

1293
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 6: is it, Florida against Houston Monday night for the National Championship.

1294
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 6: You know, we had all four to one seeds in

1295
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 6: this final four. The only previous time that happened was

1296
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 6: two thousand and eight when the Final four was in

1297
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 6: San Antonio and a one seed Memphis led one seed

1298
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 6: Kansas by nine with about two minutes to go. In fact,

1299
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 6: with two ten left, tonight, one seed Duke led one

1300
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 6: seed Houston by nine with two ten left, Houston advances

1301
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 6: seventy to sixty seven. Crazy, crazy comeback.

1302
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Was that a foul?

1303
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 6: No, I don't think so. When it first happened, I thought, oh,

1304
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 6: I guess he must have gone over the back. And

1305
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 6: then they showed the replay and what it looked like

1306
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 6: was that Cooper Flag was just taller. He didn't reach

1307
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 6: through the defender in front of him, he reached around him.

1308
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 6: And in fact, this was CBS on the replay.

1309
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: That's a play on today. I agree.

1310
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,040
Speaker 2: I mean he was being straight.

1311
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 6: Down Cooper Flag with his palms up in the air,

1312
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 6: and John Shire from the sideline also with his hands up.

1313
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 6: That's a foul. But Duke did so many things wrong. Oh,

1314
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 6: in the last ten and a half minutes, they had

1315
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 6: one basket. I gotta say that again out loud. Duke

1316
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 6: had one field goal made in the last ten and

1317
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 6: a half minutes tonight, they were one for nine from

1318
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 6: the floor with five turnovers down the stretch. So Houston

1319
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 6: advances and immediately after the final this game tonight reminded

1320
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 6: me of one other tournament game twenty years ago in Chicago. Yes,

1321
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 6: Arizona was leading number one Illinois by fifteen with four

1322
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 6: minutes left and Illinois came back to force overtime and win.

1323
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 6: Tonight made me cry. I can understand why. Tonight Houston

1324
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 6: was down fourteen with about eight minutes to go and

1325
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 6: came back. There's also the notable comeback about twenty years

1326
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 6: ago of uc beating Gonzaga, but that was a mere

1327
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 6: nine point deficit with about three and a half minutes

1328
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 6: left the Uclay Yes, when Morrison had made a couple

1329
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 6: of free throws and things were looking good, and eventually

1330
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 6: Ryan Hollins, friend of our network for UCLA, made a

1331
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 6: couple free throws to get close with twenty seconds left,

1332
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 6: and then a steal and a layup gave UCLA the

1333
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 6: shocking late lead. Amazing game tonight, Houston wins to advance.

1334
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 6: Cooper Flag with twenty seven points. In fact, a Sports

1335
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 6: Center stat tonight is since steals and blocks became official

1336
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 6: stats in college hoops about forty years ago, tonight, Cooper

1337
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 6: Flag is the first player to lead his team or

1338
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 6: co lead in all these categories steals, blocks, points, rebounds,

1339
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 6: and assists. He was number one or tied for first

1340
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 6: for his team and all of those stat categories tonight.

1341
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 6: They got him the ball with a chance to take

1342
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 6: the lead in the final seconds, and he to fall away.

1343
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Sure, so what are my choices now? I either can

1344
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 2: come back to Duke or I can go to the

1345
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 2: Washington Wizards and my college career like this, I'm not

1346
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 2: so sure I want to leave Duke after this.

1347
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna make money either way.

1348
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 2: You gonna make tons of money.

1349
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure.

1350
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: I'm in a big hurry to go to the Washington

1351
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 2: Wizards after I just got eliminated in the semifinals like this.

1352
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 6: Now, there is a lottery at play just for the record,

1353
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 6: So we don't know the team Wah.

1354
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 2: I think Utah and Washington both have a fourteen chance.

1355
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: They waited. Yes, well, next year it's gonna be a

1356
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: bad team that's gonna have a fourteen percent chance.

1357
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 6: Also, yes, that's how it works, and he's not gonna

1358
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 6: be going down the list of prospects barring something cavit tatastrophics,

1359
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 6: So you're right the odds the math will still be

1360
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 6: the same. Florida's earlier win was over Auburn seventy nine

1361
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,839
Speaker 6: seventy three Walter Clayton with thirty four points. The Gators

1362
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 6: were down eight at the half, a mere eight point

1363
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 6: comeback where they had the entire second after do it.

1364
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 6: That just pales in comparison to the absolute robbery.

1365
01:08:59,439 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: We just so.

1366
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 6: With Houston somehow advancing past Duke, this will go down.

1367
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 6: I mean for Houston, Texas and that university. They will

1368
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 6: be talking about Tonight's game fifty years for now.

1369
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding, only if they went on Monday.

1370
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 6: This is something they have never experienced. And guess who

1371
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 6: they had a graphic tonight. Guess who's got the most

1372
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 6: Final Four appearances without winning it all. Houston's in their

1373
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 6: seventh Final Four. They've never won the national title. This

1374
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 6: is the chance on Monday into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Carmelo, Anthony,

1375
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 6: Dwight Howard and others in the late NBA game in LA.

1376
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 6: It's the Clippers one seventeen to eighty six over Dallas,

1377
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 6: still seven minutes to go. NHL Saint Louis won its

1378
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 6: twelfth straight, being Colorado five for the late MLB contest

1379
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,799
Speaker 6: in Anaheim went to the Angels ten to four over Cleveland.

1380
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 6: San Francisco seven and one. After beating Seattle four to one,

1381
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 6: Dodgers nine and one this year, after winning at Philadelphia

1382
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 6: three to one, Padres had started seven and oh they've

1383
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 6: lost too straight lost to the coach Steve seven to one,

1384
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 6: three to one.

1385
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: Man, I'm here watching that game. I didn't even realize

1386
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't liive it's in Philadelphia in the daytime, but

1387
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 1: it's three one Dodgers. But it's only the sixth inning,

1388
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: so I guess I'll need to watch the rest of this.

1389
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it comes at one five in a row, by

1390
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 6: the way. But yes, FS one had the Dodgers at

1391
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 6: Phillies game today. Most people did not see the one

1392
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 6: last night because Apple took it. But JT. Rail Muto

1393
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 6: threw out a running or attempting to steal second to

1394
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 6: end the eighth and throughout a runner attempting to steal

1395
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 6: to end the ninth. That's how the game ended, man,

1396
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 6: and that's how the Philadelphia Phillies started the season six

1397
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 6: and one.

1398
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,320

Speaker 1: Houston Trail by fourteen. They trailed by nine with two

1430
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: h five left, but they're the team that advances Houston

1431
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: and Florida Monday Night. Incredible. You know we I had planned,

1432
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: If we had planned, we're gonna talk about Cooper Flag

1433
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: and the NBA. We're gonna talk about John Morant, and

1434
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: luckily we still have an hour, so we're gonna be

1435
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: able to talk about some of those things. But you

1436
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: just don't see stuff like this everything day.

1437
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,640
Speaker 2: You think that's going to effect what Cooper Flag is

1438
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 2: going to do or not. Really, it's just emotional now.

1439
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 2: And when he thinks about it, he'll want the money

1440
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 2: and he'll go into the NBA.

1441
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you know, during the summer

1442
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: he equated himself really well against the Olympic team, and

1443
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: the comparisons in the way that guys in the league

1444
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: talk about him, it's can't miss. I'm not sure that

1445
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: I fully see it yet. I mean, he's only eighteen.

1446
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a ton of time. So it's

1447
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: just does he love his college experience to come back

1448
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 1: one to go to try to win one? Or and

1449
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: this is this is something I would consider if I

1450
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: were him in terms of potentially leading. How much pressure

1451
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: is on Cooper Flag if he comes back next year

1452
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: to do to win it? All?

1453
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 2: Right?

1454
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: A ton? How much pressure is on Cooper Flag to

1455
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: go to the Washington Wizards and win an NBA championship? None? None,

1456
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: But if he's great, none, zero, zilch. But there's a difference. Now.

1457
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: You want him to want that, You want him to

1458
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: want the smoke, for lack of a better way, just

1459
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 1: you want him to want that championship and to come

1460
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: back for it and to finish the job. There's a

1461
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 1: lot of people that want it that don't end up

1462
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: finishing the job, and I wonder if that becomes part

1463
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: of the calculus.

1464
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 2: No, but then think about this. You don't want to

1465
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 2: end up a team because even if you put up

1466
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 2: some good stats, you know where you're insignificant. You understand

1467
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

1468
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: But you're gonna be anyway though, if the chances in

1469
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 1: the lottery are that you're gonna be on a bad team,

1470
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: that's the way that it's set up.

1471
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: And he end well, but you could be on a

1472
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 2: good team. To take Gil Goos Alexander he's not okay.

1473
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 2: See they're a great team, but nobody really paying attention

1474
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 2: to him. They're not a big brand team.

1475
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that the Clippers made that move. I'm thankful

1476
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 1: that they gave him to my thunder for sure. We

1477
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: handed them Paul George and well how'd that work out.

1478
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 2: You don't want to end up where you're Yeah, no,

1479
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 2: I know Verry somewhere.

1480
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to end up not giving Steve

1481
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: Disaga all the time that you need. So we'll come back,

1483
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: of numbers, probably from the final four, but who knows

1484
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: what kind of ratings we might get from the NBA

1485

1500
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: take it away.

1501
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 6: You guys were talking about the NBA draft this summer.

1502
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 6: We'll see if the Florida All American is a first rounder.

1503
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 6: Walter Clayton or if the Auburn All American Jenni Broom

1504
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 6: is We do know that all the assumptions are that

1505
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 6: Duke's Cooper Flag, who did win the Wooden Award today,

1506
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 6: would go number one overall, maybe to Utah, maybe to Washington.

1507
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 6: Keep in mind the two youngsters from Rutgers, they should

1508
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 6: be top ten picks this summer, Dylan Harper and also

1509
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 6: six foot ten, as Bailey, Maryland's Derek Queen declared this

1510
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 6: past week six foot ten he could be a top

1511
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 6: ten selection this summer. The Duke Center, Mala Watch and

1512
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 6: also Canipple could be lottery picks. And Michigan State guard

1513
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 6: Jase Richardson as well this summer. You talked earlier in

1514
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 6: the show what a special tournament Walter Clayton, junior of

1515
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 6: the Gators, is having so far. In fact, Stats Inc

1516
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 6: says he is the first player since Larry Bird. Oh yeah,

1517
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 6: I saw this to have back to back thirty point

1518
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:29,799
Speaker 6: games incredible in the Elite eight or later in NCAA tournament.

1519
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 6: In fact, he had thirty last game thirty four today

1520
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 6: in eliminating Auburn. His first two games of the tournament

1521
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,799
Speaker 6: back to back twenty three point efforts, and Clayton finished

1522
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 6: the SEC Tournament with back to back twenty two point

1523
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 6: efforts in the wins over Alabama and Tennessee. And by

1524
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 6: the way, Alabama was the number one offense in college

1525
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 6: basketball this year, averaged over ninety points a game. Florida

1526
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 6: averaged eighty five points a game that was number three.

1527
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 6: So we have an offense versus defense matchup, to say

1528
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 6: the least. On Monday Night, the Houston Cougars, how many

1529
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 6: points a game did they give up? Not eighty five?

1530
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 6: I'll tell you they allowed under fifty nine points a game.

1531
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 6: Wow for the season.

1532
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

1533
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,879
Speaker 6: Duke allowed just sixty two points a game for the season.

1534
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 6: In fact, even deeper dive into how good the defense

1535
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 6: was for Houston and Duke both top ten in field

1536
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,799
Speaker 6: goal percentage defense this year. They each allowed just thirty

1537
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 6: eight percent shooting from the floor and in fact, Duke

1538
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,560
Speaker 6: allowed just thirty eight percent shooting from the floor to

1539
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 6: not a tougher schedule though. Houston with a tougher schedule, yeah.

1540
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 2: Because they had Texas Tech, who was a major team.

1541
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: They played Sey he was down overall.

1542
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Arizona they.

1543
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: Played Texas Tech. Twice. They played Arizona twice.

1544
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,600
Speaker 6: They played in December, So there are the other ones. Yeah,

1545
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 6: the thirty eight percent shooting. Though, it should be pointed

1546
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 6: out that while Houston was down most of the night

1547
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 6: in this game against Duke, three point range that saved them.

1548
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,839
Speaker 6: It kept them in the game, and then the defense

1549
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 6: clamped down late. But from three point range ten of

1550
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 6: twenty two for the Cougars, and they do advance. Mentioned

1551
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 6: the Wooden Award, it went to Cooper Flag of Dute,

1552
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 6: beating out Jenni Broom of Auburn. The ceremony for that

1553
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 6: will be Friday. As far as sports TV ratings, last

1554
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 6: night we had the Women's Final four beginning and they

1555
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 6: averaged three point nine million viewers, which would be pretty

1556
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 6: good for any TV show. This was on Cable with

1557
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 6: if you saw the yukon UCLA game that was almost

1558
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 6: unwatchable for most of the game. It was such a

1559
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 6: blowout for Connecticut and yet the doubleheader on cable last

1560
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,839
Speaker 6: night for the women got three point nine million viewers. Friday,

1561
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 6: NBA Thursday two point five million viewers for Warriors Lakers.

1562
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 6: That's TNT plus True TV.

1563
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 2: Comes Home, Big Wigs.

1564
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 6: The exactly Titan and in fact, that Thursday matchup was

1565
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 6: the second most watched NBA game they've had on Cable

1566
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,799
Speaker 6: this season outside of Opening Night, and still the women's

1567
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 6: hoops doubleheader easily beat the NBA Golden State Lakers game

1568
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 6: on Thursday. A reminder, Monday night is the National title

1569
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:15,919
Speaker 6: game for men. Women's final is Sunday, Connecticut against South Carolina.

1570
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dawn Stay, we said something was at first annoying,

1571
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: and I was like, actually, maybe she's right. Maybe we'll

1572
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: talk about it the third hour. We haven't talked about

1573
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: the NFL at all in this program, so we'll be

1574
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: doing that, but we'll reset the final four and uh

1575
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: John Morant, uh oh, Unfortunately we have to talk about

1576
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: that third hours.

1577
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 6: Next you're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1578
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I don't even know if I'll be able

1579
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: to get to sleep after this show, after what we've

1580
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: witnessed in the final I.

1581
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 2: Was rewatching the ending. I kept saying, back to back threes.

1582
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: It was a three, and then he missed the three,

1583
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 2: and they got the rebound and sammed it in for

1584
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 2: a two pointer.

1585
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 5: Ye.

1586
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 2: That made it to one point differential. That made it

1587
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 2: sixty eight sixty seven at that point are a lot

1588
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 2: of times sixty six.

1589
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, We're a lot in the tirack dot com studios.

1594
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1595
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: Two five left, nine points down. Houston wins it by

1596
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,719
Speaker 1: three seventy to sixty seven. Duke fans will be thinking

1597
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: about this one for a very long time, as with

1598
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: the rest of college basketball.

1599
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 2: One thing we didn't bring up, and a few people

1600
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 2: criticize Duke for doing this. Also on Twitter, I'm not

1601
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 2: so sure I agree with it. Three point seven seconds left,

1602
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 2: people are saying, why did you try to do the

1603
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 2: baseball pass instead of doing a short pass to you know,

1604
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 2: you know, right around the foul line of the top

1605
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 2: of the key in your own area, take five or

1606
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 2: six dribbles and get a good shot off or a

1607
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 2: decent shot off.

1608
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, again, I think there were a couple of

1609
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: different moments where you could second guess what Duke chose

1610
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: to do strategically in that game, a couple of inbounds

1611
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: where it just didn't look like they had something drawn

1612
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 1: up to work, and then that instance right there. But

1613
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, can you can pick apart a lot of

1614
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: this When it comes down to it is Houston's defense

1615
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: and combined with Duke just not being able to make shots.

1616
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Both those two teams outstanding defensively, and you saw instances

1617
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 1: of it throughout this game. But Duke only made two

1618
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: shots in the last thirteen minutes of the game and

1619
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,959
Speaker 1: made none in the final three minutes. That's a recipe

1620
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 1: for disaster. And then of course you have the Cooper

1621
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: Flag call, which will be the talk shouldn't right. It's

1622
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: just a call that shouldn't have been made. But it's

1623
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: also a situation Duke shouldn't have found themselves in based

1624
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: on the way that game was trending and the fact

1625
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: that they were up fourteen points earlier. And then again,

1626
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: when you're at two five, you're up nine, you win

1627
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:57,759
Speaker 1: that game.

1628
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 2: They had those forty five seconds up, they had the

1629
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,680
Speaker 2: ball up by six, and then I think it was

1630
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag that drove to the bucket and got his

1631
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 2: shot blocked against the backboard that got used in the ball,

1632
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 2: they came down, they hit the three, they got the steal,

1633
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 2: they missed the three, got the dunk down by one,

1634
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 2: and that's when they fouled Duke with twenty seconds left,

1635
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 2: and Duke missed the front end.

1636
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: Of the one and one.

1637
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 2: We don't bring that up in the fall. So missing

1638
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 2: those missing front ends on.

1639
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: One and one, well, dude, that right there is what

1640
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 1: beat Texas Tech. Yeah, the reason why Flora is in

1641
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: this game in the first place. Two beat front Yeah. Yeah,

1642
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: missed two of them rights, missed them on back to

1643
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: back possessions game boards.

1644
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 2: That's four boards possible, not just do you know people

1645
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 2: think about that like that.

1646
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's right, It absolutely is, especially on the

1647
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: other See if you go back to the Florida Texas

1648
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Tech moment, not only was it just the misses on

1649
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: one end, so you had a situation where Texas Tech

1650
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: was able to they really would have been in control

1651
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: at that moment, but you miss I think it was

1652
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: a six point game, maybe a five. They missed the

1653
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: front end rebound Clayton three on the other end immediately,

1654
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: So that's I mean, so you lose out on two

1655
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 1: and give up three, it's a five point swing right there,

1656
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's a one possession

1657
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: game and all the momentum has gone in the other direction.

1658
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: And then you missed the front end again on the

1659
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: very next possession, and they cash in on you again,

1660
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 1: and then you look up and you lose.

1661
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 2: CB is not gonna be happy about this. Ratings will,

1662
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 2: I think go down a little bit. Having Duke in

1663
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:36,839
Speaker 2: the finals is a ratings winner. So not that Houston

1664
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 2: cares about that at all, but having used in it,

1665
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 2: it's certainly not gonna draw out the big grounds.

1666
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: I did see in an email that I received a

1667
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: couple of days, a day or two ago, that most

1668
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: of the country was pulling for Houston to win the

1669
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: whole thing.

1670
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh so hatred.

1671
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Still, I don't think it's what it was, but I

1672
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: think maybe maybe it grew just a little bit because

1673
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 1: it was again like you had to find somebody to

1674
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 1: hate here, and like Cooper Flag didn't have like the

1675
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: trademarks of the Duke guys that have been so hated

1676
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: through the years. He really didn't have any of that.

1677
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: And we already talked about, you know, it's not coach

1678
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: kh john Shire. It's just kind of a different makeup.

1679
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 1: That Duke team was easy to root for in a

1680
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: lot of respects, But I do think that maybe some

1681
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: of it came back today.

1682
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter who the coaches, the Cowboys are hated, no

1683
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 2: matter who the head coaches. They just don't want to hate.

1684
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: No matter who the owner is. They hate the Dallas Cowboys.

1685
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 2: The Duke Blue Devils are the Dallas Cowboys of the

1686
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 2: college basketball.

1687
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: Now, I don't think that. I mean, you could talk

1688
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: about it from a fan so from a from a

1689
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: hatred standpoint, but they win too much to be the

1690
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys.

1691
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 2: How's the last time they won it all?

1692
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: I guess it has been a handful of years, But

1693
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, how how often are they How

1694
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: often are the Dallas Cowboys and number one seed?

1695
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 2: Well, but Dallas has se Dallas had their run. What

1696
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 2: was it twenty five years ago of winning?

1697
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 6: Well?

1698
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Have years ago? Yes?

1699
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,679
Speaker 2: Well, when's the last time Duke won a championship?

1700
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 4: Day? Long?

1701
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 1: Hasn't been? That's I mean, that's a good question. How

1702
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: long has it been since they won one?

1703
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 2: I think it's been at least ten years, twelve You

1704
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 2: think it's been ten?

1705
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I'm gonna look it up twenty fifteen. So yeah, okay,

1706
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: it has been.

1707
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 2: Ten year A long time, man.

1708
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but it's not Cowboys long no, No,

1709
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys is mid nineties, right right, So I mean you're

1710
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 1: talking twenty years since then. But even then, like Duke's

1711
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: been relevant almost every year, the Cowboys have been relevant

1712
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: like once every three years or something.

1713
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 2: But I don't know, if you look at teams that

1714
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 2: are hated, it's what the Cowboys, the Patriots.

1715
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: Duke Duke to me, Duke to me is more the Yankees,

1716
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: Like that's I think Duke is more of the Yankees

1717
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 1: than they are the Cowboys, because at least the Yankees

1718
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: show up every once in a while. I think the

1719
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: Patriots is another is another good one.

1720
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 2: Hatred's had a great run obviously.

1721
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: So but I didn't see like the vitriol for Duke generally.

1722
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: But I did see it today, like I did see

1723
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: it once when you got close to the game, all

1724
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Duke did become kind of enemy number one.

1725
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: And again I think it's because the sport needs its villain,

1726
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 1: and without Dan Hurley they're playing at this point, you

1727
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,600
Speaker 1: had to find somebody that was gonna be Duke. It

1728
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be one of the other three.

1729
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not as no. And I think there's

1730
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,559
Speaker 2: a lot of people that just that continue the hatred

1731
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:41,719
Speaker 2: for Duke, even though coach K left because John Sire

1732
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with this whole rivalry or anything

1733
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 2: like that. He you know, he's fairly new to this thing.

1734
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 2: But even though the coach K left, they just carry

1735
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,679
Speaker 2: on their hatred for Duke. I mean, the Duke North

1736
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 2: Carolina's theory is still just as big as ever. You

1737
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 2: got to camp out Itvkville. That's easy for me to say,

1738
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 2: for like two months to get into the game, you

1739
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 2: know what I mean, it's still impossible to get into

1740
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 2: that game.

1741
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. So I mean you're right, like, not

1742
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: having Duke is gonna hurt a little bit, but she

1743
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: still had one seeds and I do think theyre's still

1744
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: going to be interest level. But yeah, if you had

1745
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Duke Florida, which was my championship game, that's what I

1746
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: have in my bracket. I felt like that was gonna

1747
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: be just an all world game. But I think this

1748
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be a great game too.

1749
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 2: How many people turned off the game and said, well,

1750
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 2: this one's over and just switched to the chain thinking

1751
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 2: that Duke was going to win the game. I think

1752
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 2: many a really good time, absolutely.

1753
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean I would say most of them turned it

1754
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: off with eight or nine minutes to play.

1755
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, because this was a late, late comeback

1756
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 2: to Patriots. It was twenty eight three, then twenty eight ten,

1757
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 2: and slowly they're they're coming on back. That was in

1758
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 2: the third. This was at the end of the game.

1759
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 2: Even like we said, forty four seconds left, Duke had

1760
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 2: the ball and they were up ice six. You figure

1761
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 2: it was still over and people were probably changing the china.

1762
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's gonna be a lot of there's gonna

1763
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: be like question marks that are asked about coaching decisions or.

1764
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that the wife's like, hey, this game's over,

1765
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 2: get up and take care of the baby. Been take

1766
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,760
Speaker 2: care of the baby all day, This is done, this

1767
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 2: game's over, turn it off and go and feed the baby.

1768
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Well, our baby would have already been a sleep, thankfully,

1769
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: since this was the late game. If this is the

1770
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: first one, you could have a you could definitely have

1771
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: a case. You definitely have a case on that one. Yeah, Look,

1772
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that missed this. There's a

1773
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: lot of people that got a text message with like

1774
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left of this game, Hey, you might want

1775
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: to turn this one back on. And the problem is

1776
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 1: because the late game, like there's some people on the

1777
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: East Coast that went to bed that don't even know

1778
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: this yet. There's gonna be people that wake up tomorrow

1779
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for church and they're gonna find out the

1780
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: Duke's out.

1781
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 2: What time did the game end though? When we were

1782
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 2: on the air, so eleven thirty Eastern.

1783
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 1: Time, Yet it would have been like eleven forty. Might

1784
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: came back for the final segment of the hour, and

1785
01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:59,759
Speaker 1: I think that's when it ended.

1786
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 2: You're right about that. There's probably a lot of people

1787
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 2: on the East Coast that this one's over and turny

1788
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 2: this one off, going to bed, and they'll wake up

1789
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 2: in the morning saying, no, this game what this can't

1790
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: be possible.

1791
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:12,799
Speaker 1: By the way, your take, your take aged like milk

1792
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 1: about how these two games were both blowouts.

1793
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that that was that that got that not.

1794
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:20,559
Speaker 1: Your bet, not your best work.

1795
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 2: No, well that when Duke was up by fourteen, I

1796
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 2: figured it was just gonna be a twenty point win.

1797
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, like I understand where you were coming from there,

1798
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: but also the first game was not even close to it.

1799
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 2: But by the way, I just want you to know,

1800
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 2: these two games still don't change the fact. And the

1801
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 2: first one was okay because it was a comeback from

1802
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 2: an eight point deficit. This one was one for the ages.

1803
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 2: Still doesn't make up the fact of what we got

1804
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:47,640
Speaker 2: for the first you know, two weekends and still was

1805
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: not an exciting tournament. This is what I wanted in

1806
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 2: the first round on the first Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

1807
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 2: The second weekend games like this, the improbable come back.

1808
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,759
Speaker 2: You gave me none of it. You gave me none

1809
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 2: of this during the first how many games we were watching?

1810
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,720
Speaker 2: Zero And this is what we were kind of used

1811
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 2: to at least one or two a day.

1812
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 1: Hmm. Yeah, this is a great final four. This game

1813
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: is gonna go down any animals first of all, but

1814
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 1: just now, do you want to see Houston win at all?

1815
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 5: Now?

1816
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,919
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, oh, I'm definitely pulling for Houston. No offense

1817
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 2: against Florida, but after comeback like this, they're gonna be

1818
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 2: the sentimental favorite. I'm gonna have to up the line.

1819
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,520
Speaker 2: I think everybody will start jumping on the Houston bandwagon.

1820
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: And also, I do love Kelvin Samson. I think he's

1821
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 2: a great guy, he's a good coach. I would love for.

1822
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Him to win it.

1823
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 2: Golden's got a lot more years left. So absolutely people

1824
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 2: gonna be jumping on that Houston bandwagon, no doubt about that.

1825
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1826
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean I think that even if you don't, even

1827
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 1: if you have no axe to grind against Florida and

1828
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,480
Speaker 1: really appreciate them and how they've gone about their business,

1829
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard without a dog in the

1830
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: fight to turn that on and pull for Florida.

1831
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 2: By the way, I got the line you want to

1832
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 2: take against the line or one.

1833
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I actually saw. Oh yeah, so I got an email

1834
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:12,759
Speaker 1: with the line.

1835
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 2: So Florida one and a half under. I got to

1836
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 2: tell you a little surprise, Florida is only a one

1837
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 2: and a half point view.

1838
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be a little more than that too,

1839
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,719
Speaker 1: But I think that's just ultimate respect for Houston's defense.

1840
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 1: Do you think the fact that they don't quit.

1841
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 2: Do you think there's any hangover for used enough to

1842
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 2: having such an emotional win and comfort behind against.

1843
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:36,759
Speaker 1: The Duke team or I don't know, not really, because

1844
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,840
Speaker 1: they've already come back a couple times. They had that

1845
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: inbound play remember to win. They've already had this happen

1846
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: a couple of times in the tournament. It hadn't been

1847
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: easy street for them until the Tennessee I mean a

1848
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 1: Tennessee game where they just absolutely dominated the balls. Which

1849
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: when do you forget shocked me? I had Tennessee beating them.

1850
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 2: When you forget about this victory and start thinking about Florida,

1851
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 2: I've been so the coach has already forgotten about this

1852
01:31:58,040 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 2: victory and it's thinking about Florida.

1853
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to turn the page. Uh, it's

1854
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: going to be difficult to do in the under the circumstances,

1855
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: because of the team that you beat, because of the situation,

1856
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 1: all of those things. It's going to be hard. You

1857
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 1: got to be able to compartmentalize this and let it go,

1858
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: like you, because you've got another game to play against against.

1859
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: To me, the team that entered this tournament playing the

1860
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 1: best basketball and the most lethal offensive player right now

1861
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: in the country.

1862
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 2: I enjoy it for like an hour during dinner or whatever,

1863
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,840
Speaker 2: eat real quickly, and then say, Okay, turn the page.

1864
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 2: It's Saturday night, We're taking our look at you in Florida,

1865
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 2: and uh, you know the next forty eight hours is

1866
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:41,400
Speaker 2: nothing but Florida right now.

1867
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Houston and Florida they will play on Monday.

1868
01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 1: We will give you a prediction for that game this show.

1869
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 2: When I told you that the ratings were going to

1870
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 2: be down, and you were so quick like, yeah, well

1871
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 2: because they don't have Duke, but you still got two

1872
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 2: number one seeds, right, you still have two of the

1873
01:32:58,840 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 2: best teams.

1874
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,680
Speaker 1: I said, be down a little. I was trying to

1875
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,439
Speaker 1: give it more credit and say no, I still think

1876
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 1: even because of the manner in which Houston won, I

1877
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 1: think a lot of people now want to see them finish.

1878
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Like anybody that sees that is going to be like,

1879
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, okay, Houston's my squad, now, you know what

1880
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

1881
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 2: But the fact that their number one seed should have

1882
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 2: been enough, but it isn't because you just don't think

1883
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 2: of that big name blue blood ran with Houston like

1884
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 2: you do with some of the other teams. And by

1885
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 2: the way, Florida didn't they get eliminated in the first round.

1886
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 2: Last year, Florida and Arburn both got eliminated right in

1887
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,879
Speaker 2: the first round last year, so year to year, it's

1888
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 2: it could turn around so differently. It's crazy.

1889
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely is, and just insane that Houston is

1890
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 1: going to be playing in this considering the way this

1891
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 1: game was playing out. But that's why sports is great.

1892
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 1: That's why this time slot is great, because we've had

1893
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: this happen more times than we can count. It's happened

1894
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 1: with us on the air a number of times, aren't

1895
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: he even when you're filling in with me, It's happened

1896
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: a few different times to us. I remember that Ohio

1897
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:04,640
Speaker 1: State Georgia playoff game. That's true, justin Field's game that

1898
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,679
Speaker 1: ends at the button. Like, just craziness going on here.

1899
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: So we haven't gotten to talk about almostay anything else.

1900
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, we'll move away from the college game and

1901
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 1: go to the pro game a little bit when we

1902
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:19,560
Speaker 1: come back out of the break. Jahn Morant unfortunately is

1903
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 1: a topic that we have to discuss and we haven't

1904
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: even touched football yet, so we'll try to do a

1905
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 1: little bit of that, but we will get back to

1906
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 1: the college hoops in the final segment because we want

1907
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 1: to predict a national championship games. It's still a lot

1908
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:36,559
Speaker 1: to get to here. By the way, as chaotic as

Speaker 2: I have one on us, so just you may have

1927
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 2: to do this in your head. This may be except

1928
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 2: for the super Bowl, one of the most watched sports

1929
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 2: weekends for TV ratings. Think about this, men's a n

1930
01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 2: Cuba Championship on Monday, So you'll probably get a what

1931
01:35:55,280 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 2: about sixteen fifteen sixteen million for something like that. Uh,

1932
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 2: the women's, the women's well, remember the women's out through

1933
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 2: the men's last year because of Caitlin Clark. That's not

1934
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 2: gonna happen. But you still have a pretty good matchup

1935
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 2: with Yukon and South Carolina, so you know, you can

1936
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 2: expect double digits at least. Uh, you know, it's probably

1937
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 2: not gonna break eighteen point nine million, but it's gonna

1938
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 2: be right up there. And then are you ready for

1939
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,599
Speaker 2: this kicker which I didn't think about. We may have

1940
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 2: the highest rated hockey game, yeah, because movie. Yeah, the

1941
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 2: highest rated hockey game was last year, game seven, sixteen

1942
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:41,560
Speaker 2: point three. You may get the Capitol's Islanders. Do you

1943
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 2: know what tickets are going for for that game? For

1944
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 2: anything near the ice? I was looking. It's like two

1945
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 2: thousand dollars or twenty five hundred dollars island.

1946
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 1: You see potential history?

1947
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 2: Do you do you consider it considering they took they

1948
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 2: didn't count Wayne Gretzky's thirty nine extra goals or whatever

1949
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 2: it is from the WHA or whatever.

1950
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1951
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's impressive. No matter what, are people going

1952
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: to tune in for that? From it?

1953
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,480
Speaker 2: There's nothing going on on a Sunday tomorrow except baseball.

1954
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:17,640
Speaker 2: It's an early game, it's twelve thirty Eastern. Is that

1955
01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 2: must watch TV? Or people really don't care about that?

1956
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope that you would turn it to

1957
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 1: tune into it. I think the only thing is how

1958
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: many people know about it that aren't real sports fans

1959
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 1: like agree, agree, that's the thing. Like, the thing that

1960
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 1: would make this so big is if casuals that don't

1961
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:37,759
Speaker 1: know much about sports don't pay that close of attention

1962
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: tuned in the way they do for for say, the

1963
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: Olympics in certain events or something like that. Like I

1964
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:49,519
Speaker 1: don't know that hockey has been watch stream for a

1965
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

1966
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 2: To set this up, you'll tune in for Otani, you know,

1967
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 2: even if you don't want to watch baseball, you'll want

1968
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 2: to see what he's doing.

1969
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: Just yeah, I mean that that's true. I just think

1970
01:37:59,360 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: I think O Tom, he's an easier sell. I wish

1971
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:03,960
Speaker 1: that it were different. I just think we're in a

1972
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 1: timeframe where it's like, I don't know what it would

1973
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,560
Speaker 1: take for hockey to move the needle outside of the international.

1974
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 2: So it's not gonna like this Stanley.

1975
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I think I hope it

1976
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,680
Speaker 1: does well, but it's not. No, I don't think so.

1977
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,760
Speaker 2: Maybe just spiked during one part. I don't know. We'll see.

1978
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 1: Well.

1979
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, by the way, what do you what do

1980
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 2: you think about him not wanting to break the record

1981
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 2: on an empty netter. I'm like, come on, man, I'm

1982
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 2: sure you have plenty of empty netters in that eight

1983
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 2: hundred plus goals at JAB, but.

1984
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people that breaks. But the one

1985
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,320
Speaker 1: that breaks the record is the one you're gonna see forever, right,

1986
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: And I don't want that to be an empty netter either.

1987
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 1: If I'm that's kind of like far of getting that

1988
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: or astraight hand getting that sack of yes just kind

1989
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: of laid down for him. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I

1990
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: don't want that to be that moment because if I'm ov,

1991
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get one my own way, and

1992
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't want an empty netter to be

1993
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:03,599
Speaker 1: the one that breaks it. You're right, though, I'm sure

1994
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 1: he has plenty of empty nutters in his career, but

1995
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be this history maker that we're gonna hear

1996
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: and see for a while. And I think that's you

1997
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 1: want that goal to look good. You want there to

1998
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 1: be a cold center in front of that and him

1999
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: make some kind of a deek or whatever it is

2000
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,240
Speaker 1: to get that thing through.

2001
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,919
Speaker 2: To bet he's not playing at home. The boy tickets

2002
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 2: would be really through the roof. If he was playing

2003
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:26,759
Speaker 2: at home, he'd be crazy.

2004
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know he hasn't done it yet.

2005
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:31,599
Speaker 2: So right, Well, that's true, that's true.

2006
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: It's still possible. I think the last I looked, the

2007
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: grizz were the eight seed in the NBA. But we're

2008
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: not talking about the Grizzlies on the court again, Arnie. Right,

2009
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, we've heard this story, and look,

2010
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies have kind of been mired in controversy for

2011
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks with the tailor, Jenkins firing just

2012
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:55,919
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before the end of the regular

2013
01:39:56,000 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 1: season and Jiggins being a good coach who I don't

2014
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:01,360
Speaker 1: know if he got on the wrong side of his

2015
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: star or what exactly fully transpired. There's differing reports, but

2016
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: it goes back aways from what it can from what

2017
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 1: it appears like. But John Morant, of all people making

2018
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: the guns finger gesture yeah, towards an opposing bench and

2019
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 1: being fined seventy five thousand dollars for that action. Your

2020
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:28,120
Speaker 1: initial thoughts that of all people, considering the history, considering

2021
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 1: everything we know about John Morant over the last couple

2022
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: of years and some of the mistakes that he's made,

2023
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: that he would be the one to do this.

2024
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 2: Why that was the first Why did you just not

2025
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 2: think about it? Was it happened and you just did it,

2026
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, no, I shouldn't have done that.

2027
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna get fine. Are you just going against authority?

2028
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 2: Do you not care? Is this the big middle finger

2029
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 2: to the NBA and what they stand for. I want

2030
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 2: to give him the benefit of the doubt and saying, oh,

2031
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:57,759
Speaker 2: he just screwed up, and he just did it by accident,

2032
01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 2: because they warned them what a couple of days earlier

2033
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 2: or a week earlier, that they were gonna find him

2034
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 2: if he did that. I saw people put out pictures

2035
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 2: of I think Austin Reeves doing the same thing and

2036
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:10,479
Speaker 2: not getting fine, trying to make a raised thing out

2037
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 2: of it. But I want to say, he just kind

2038
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 2: of reacted to the situation. But I want you to

2039
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 2: know something. Memphis does not need him, Okay, and I

2040
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 2: will promise I'm not gonna promise you if I was

2041
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 2: a betting man, I'm betting he's going to another team

2042
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 2: like the Lakers or something like that for next year.

2043
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing. I actually I watched a video

2044
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:42,559
Speaker 1: about John Morant this morning, and the guy that put

2045
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: together the video had had a stack comparison in the

2046
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:51,200
Speaker 1: first five years of John Morant's career and they're literally

2047
01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean percentages, points per game, number of honors, all

2048
01:41:56,200 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. They are eerily similar, almost identical

2049
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: to Steve Francis and Steve Frances's first five years in

2050
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:10,640
Speaker 1: the league he had this same, like meteoric rise and

2051
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: it was built off almost the exact same statistical breakdown.

2052
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 1: And then of course he had injuries and some off

2053
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: the court stuff that hurt him. Well, Jo's been hurt

2054
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:20,639
Speaker 1: a good bit, but more than anything, he just hasn't

2055
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 1: been able to get out of his own way. And

2056
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 1: you look at this and yeah, your point about maybe

2057
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, he just didn't think about it, right,

2058
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 1: because I mean, I've made finger gun gestures and all

2059
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff too, But and you made that

2060
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 1: thing about Austin Reeves. The difference is Austin Reeves didn't

2061
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 1: have a history with.

2062
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:41,839
Speaker 2: Guns, exactly right.

2063
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 1: That's the difference. It's not a race thing. It's a

2064
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,200
Speaker 1: Ja Morant. You're the guy that can't do this. Like

2065
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: I imagine that if many other teammates on the Grizz did this,

2066
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have the same reaction. But John Morant is

2067
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: the one guy where it's like, dude, you can't do this,

2068
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: and he still did it. And I don't know that

2069
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 1: he was stumbing his nose at authority either. That wasn't

2070
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 1: my initial thought. It's just kind of like he's got

2071
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more cautious because he's got

2072
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 1: a reputation now for certain things, the same thing that

2073
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: dogged out Rashie Wallace and Dylan Brooks and all these

2074
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 1: people through the years, Like you have to adapt to

2075
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: what's happened because you're no longer going to get the

2076
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. And John Miranda is to that point.

2077
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: And when you said they don't need him, you're increasingly

2078
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:34,760
Speaker 1: right because that Grizz team shot to the sun, but

2079
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: then acted like they had won ten championships right the

2080
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 1: way that they talked, the way that they mocked other people.

2081
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: I remember, I guess it was Jah was in an

2082
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: interview situation where he was asked directly, you know who

2083
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: in the West he knew was going to be a

2084
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,679
Speaker 1: tough one for his squad and who they were really

2085
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:57,360
Speaker 1: taking seriously and he said the Celtics. And the question

2086
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 1: that came back was so nobody in the way like

2087
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:04,519
Speaker 1: NA we got the West. It's just like that's just

2088
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: the level of arrogance that came out through that team.

2089
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 1: And they've been nothing since, Like they've been almost nothing.

2090
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,599
Speaker 1: And Jaw himself, it almost looks like he's peaked. We

2091
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: know what he's capable of doing, but the consistency that

2092
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: made him so special, I don't know that it's there now.

2093
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 2: See, he doesn't realize how much money he's really He

2094
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 2: thinks he's just costing him seventy five thousand dollars, but

2095
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't realize all the endorsements that were going to

2096
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 2: go to him, or could have went to him, won't

2097
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 2: even consider him now because of his behavior and what

2098
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 2: he's done on the court with the signals and stuff

2099
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 2: like that. He could have really, I mean real and

2100
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 2: I don't know is off the court money making endorsements

2101
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:50,719
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, but he really could

2102
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 2: have had a lot of it. And I think people

2103
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,559
Speaker 2: shied away from him because of all the controversy, and

2104
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 2: I don't blame them. And the NBA is just going

2105
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 2: to continue finding him seventy five thousand dollar every time

2106
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,639
Speaker 2: he does it, so he's gonna stop and learn quickly,

2107
01:45:03,760 --> 01:45:04,719
Speaker 2: or he's going to go broke.

2108
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: And listen, I mean, he's made a tremendous amount of

2109
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 1: money in the league right and he's done well for himself,

2110
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: but man, you're right, it could have been so much

2111
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 1: easier for him. Oh and he has made he's made

2112
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: this path and certainly talking about him.

2113
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 2: Being so difficult, remember years ago that was actually talking

2114
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 2: about him becoming the next face of the NBA and

2115
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 2: he was going to be the next superstar and he'll

2116
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:33,160
Speaker 2: take over when Lebron retires. And he was a great talent.

2117
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:36,559
Speaker 2: He certainly was. There was no doubt about that. But

2118
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 2: there's no talk about him even in the top what

2119
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 2: twenty players in the NBA right now.

2120
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:44,719
Speaker 1: Or he's probably in the top thirty somewhere in that neighborhood.

2121
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: But we're talking about a top five guy. No, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah,

2122
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean he was right there. And it's amazing how

2123
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 1: fast it has just become. You don't really talk about

2124
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 1: him anymore. He's not really part of the discussion the

2125
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:06,040
Speaker 1: way that he really should be. And unfortunately it's self

2126
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,360
Speaker 1: inflicted and it's hard to watch. And you just hope

2127
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:11,559
Speaker 1: that he's gonna get that through his head while he's

2128
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:13,639
Speaker 1: still because he's still he should be entering his prom

2129
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 1: right now, right and understand it. He's got it, he's yeah,

2130
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: and they.

2131
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 2: Don't need it maybe. And plus they picked up Zach

2132
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 2: Edy in the draft and he's going to be a

2133
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 2: long term effect for them in Memphis also, and he'll

2134
01:46:25,200 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 2: go He's only gonna go ahead and get better. They'll

2135
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 2: get younger when they get rid of Marcus Smart. He

2136
01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 2: hasn't played much this year anyway, so he's pretty much done.

2137
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:36,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just I feel like you're about to see

2138
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: the page start at Memphis. And I think that the

2139
01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:43,679
Speaker 1: coach and the offense that Moran doesn't like that he's

2140
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 1: pretty much made everybody when he listen, Yeah, yeah, exactly.

2141
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 1: So there's there's a lot of change coming there. But

2142
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. I think Moran's probably going

2143
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:55,559
Speaker 1: to be somewhere else. And I think if you talked

2144
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 1: to Griz fans three years ago and that's what you heard,

2145
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,919
Speaker 1: you'd have been blown away. But this ain't the Lucas situation.

2146
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 1: This is somebody that's found his way to get out

2147
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 1: of town. It feels like to me, God that's never

2148
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: out of town is Steve de Seger. Let's go out

2152
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,720
Speaker 6: since this game finished, but Houston eliminated Duke at the

2153
01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:26,240

01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 6: with a chance to retake the lead in the final second.

2159

01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:47,000

2162
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,439

01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 6: win of seventy to sixty seven over the Blue Devils.

2164
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:59,280
Speaker 6: Duke with one field goal made in the last ten

2165
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 6: and a half minutes of this game.

2166
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

2167
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 6: They shot one for nine with five turnovers down the stretch.

2168
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:06,599
Speaker 1: LJ.

2169
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 6: Crier twenty six points for the winners. Houston has never

2170
01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 6: won a national title. They'll be in Monday's final. With

2171
01:48:12,880 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 6: about two minutes left, Duke still led by nine. Tonight

2172
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:19,720
Speaker 6: it was sixty four to fifty five, so Houston had

2173
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:23,680
Speaker 6: a fifteen to three run at the end. Houston had

2174
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 6: trailed by fourteen points with about eight minutes to go.

2175
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 6: Cooper flag twenty seven again in the loss. Today he

2176
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 6: won the Wooden Award. Florida won its national semifinal over

2177
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:34,599
Speaker 6: Auburn seventy nine seventy three.

2178
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 2: Too bad they didn't have like a Duke cast where

2179
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 2: former Duke players were all watching the game together. Oh,

2180
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:41,879
Speaker 2: that would have been great. That would have been awesome.

2181
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, well it would have been a little quiet at

2182
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 6: the end. I guess if you look at Twitter these days.

2183
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 6: Two of the phrases that are trending are duke and choke.

2184
01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 2: Oh, it would have been awesome. It would have been great.

2185
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 6: Florida defeated Auburn seventy nine seventy three. The Gators at

2186
01:48:57,520 --> 01:49:00,519
Speaker 6: halftime were down to eights. Auburn from three point range

2187
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 6: seven of twenty five all American. Jeni Broom fifteen points

2188
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 6: on free throws not good again, three of seven. In fact,

2189
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:10,759
Speaker 6: in the last six minutes of this loss, Broom no points,

2190
01:49:11,240 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 6: all of two on free throws, three turnovers, three fouls.

2191
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 6: Walter Clayton thirty four points for the winners. Gators with

2192
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 6: a thirteen to three run to open the second half

2193
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,160
Speaker 6: and take the lead. Florida led by one with two

2194
01:49:23,200 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 6: and a half minutes to go, seventy nine seventy three

2195
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 6: over Auburn the final and SEC school has not won

2196
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 6: the national title in men's basketball since twenty twelve Kentucky.

2197
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 6: The SEC in this tournament had a record fourteen teams,

2198
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 6: including Florida, which won the SEC Tourney beating Tennessee. So

2199
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:43,320
Speaker 6: the Gators at the time were five and two in

2200
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:46,400
Speaker 6: their top ten matchups this season. They'll go up against Houston.

2201
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 6: We had four to one seeds in the final four,

2202
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 6: so of course we are paired with one seeds in

2203
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,800
Speaker 6: the finals matchup. No team I mentioned this last Sunday night.

2204
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 6: No team has won the title by getting to the

2205
01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 6: final four, playing the high possible seed each round, and

2206
01:50:02,880 --> 01:50:05,759
Speaker 6: then beating two one seeds in the final. For Houston

2207
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 6: can be the first.

2208
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:07,640
Speaker 2: Are you sure about that?

2209
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:08,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

2210
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 2: When Arizona won the whole thing, they beat three number

2211
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:11,720
Speaker 2: one seeds, I.

2212
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:17,799
Speaker 6: Think every round playing the worst possible opponent by seeding.

2213
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:21,759
Speaker 6: And Houston has advanced in the semifinals of the College

2214

Speaker 5: Just for that.

2253
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad you have to deal with Arnie again. No,

2254
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to not even acknowledge that baseball has

2255
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:39,240
Speaker 1: started yet. Just I can't. I can't take this, this

2256
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: Braves team right now.

2257
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 6: Looking for long, yeah, exactly. Schedule's not getting easier yet.

2258
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:51,240
Speaker 6: But remember the Washington Nationals. They were bad till mid May, which.

2259
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 1: They were bad all the time. But yes, you're right.

2260
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 1: And look, we had the year that we won the

2261
01:52:56,280 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: World Series mid season. Nobody saw that coming ends up happenings.

2262
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: It's luckily you're right. Baseball is a very very long seede.

2263
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 6: Different than the NBA, that's for sure.

2264
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 1: Yes, also more entertaining. Anyway, thank you, m By the way.

2265
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 2: We're getting a lot on Twitter. Just one of that

2266
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 2: kind of stood out. Douglas says that he thinks that

2267
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:19,920
Speaker 2: this is gonna hurt Cooper Flag's reputation. What losing, Yeah,

2268
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 2: losing this game.

2269
01:53:22,520 --> 01:53:24,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it will if he goes a threat

2270
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:26,599
Speaker 1: NBA career, I don't think anybody's gonna care.

2271
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:30,360
Speaker 2: No, I don't forget about his great NBA career as

2272
01:53:30,439 --> 01:53:33,719
Speaker 2: of right now. Well, this hurt his reputation, no way.

2273
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 1: No, how I mean, he missed, he missed the fallaway.

2274
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:39,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't his best game, there's no doubt about that.

2275
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:43,120
Speaker 1: But he still had twenty seven points exactly, and Houston

2276
01:53:43,360 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: was doing everything in the world to stay in front

2277
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: of him. He had these crossovers and spins and all

2278
01:53:47,520 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 1: sorts of stuff was going on. I don't think that

2279
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:52,439
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag takes a hit because he lost.

2280
01:53:52,479 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 2: But people can say, well, the ACC wasn't a great year.

2281
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 1: That's true.

2282
01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:00,400
Speaker 2: They didn't have a daunting schedule, they didn't play anybody.

2283
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 2: Have note the last month and a half, you can say,

2284
01:54:04,960 --> 01:54:07,479
Speaker 2: they'll say, is he really that good without playing the

2285
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:10,400
Speaker 2: elite tallon? Look what happened when he played an elite

2286
01:54:10,439 --> 01:54:13,960
Speaker 2: defensive team and Houston they lost, and on and on

2287
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 2: and on. That's gonna be some of the narrative out there.

2288
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 2: I'll promise you that.

2289
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. And it's Duke, so they're gonna

2290
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:22,000
Speaker 1: find a way to make that narrative. Of course, kind

2291
01:54:22,040 --> 01:54:25,320
Speaker 1: of twist the knife a little bit. As we'll come back,

2292
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: we will predict the dukeless national Championship game. It's gonna

2293
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 1: be Houston against Florida in a matchup of one seeds.

2294
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: Is gonna be that no matter who won the games.

2295
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be the Koogs and the Gators. So

2296
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 1: we'll pick that one. Before we get out of here,

2297
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned the NFL at all. I might just

2298
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,880
Speaker 1: come back with a quick NFL topic because I feel

2299
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:49,120
Speaker 1: like you have to like no football on a three

2300
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,560
Speaker 1: hour radio show. Either that or we're gonna break records.

2301
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. But by the way, calm the chaos

2306
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 1: as fun as it was for Houston fans, probably a

2307
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 1: whole lot more fun than it was for Duke fans.

2308
01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:20,400
Speaker 1: But Tractor Supply they know a winning season takes practice.

2309

2317
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:51,240
Speaker 1: Arnie was thirteenth, Torres was fifties.

2318
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:53,840

Speaker 1: I am Jason Martin. I'm at jmart Radio. Torres will

2325
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 1: be back next week. He's at the Final four. So Houston, Florida.

2326
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:23,360
Speaker 1: Great defensive team in Houston, great offensive team in Florida

2327
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:27,160
Speaker 1: who did lock down defensively in the second half against

2328
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 1: Auburn to get that tough victory. Walter Clayton thirty four

2329
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 1: points in the ballgame. Houston comes back from down nine

2330
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:38,160
Speaker 1: with two h five left against Duke to stun the

2331
01:56:38,200 --> 01:56:42,200
Speaker 1: Blue Devils and stun America quite frankly. So how do

2332
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,560
Speaker 1: you think this one's going to play out Monday? Obviously,

2333
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:47,960
Speaker 1: Houston is riding high, and I think most of the

2334
01:56:48,040 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 1: country will be pulling for the Koogs.

2335
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 2: I think the Cougars are going to be like America's Darling.

2336
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a lower scoring game,

2337
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:01,080
Speaker 2: not a specifically a low score game, just the lowest

2338
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 2: scoring game. Then Florida is pretty much used to. I

2339
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 2: think Houston is going to ride that weight of a

2340
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:11,200
Speaker 2: wave of emotion after beating Duke. I don't think there's

2341
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:16,360
Speaker 2: any hangover or anything like that. I'm jumping on Houston's bandwagon.

2342
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 2: I think they win it by one point sixty nine

2343
01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 2: sixty eight, and they win it by a jumper with

2344
01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 2: three seconds left in the game.

2345
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they came back and they beat Duke late.

2346
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:32,440
Speaker 1: They had the inbounce play to beat Michigan. That will

2347
01:57:32,480 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 1: be I'll never forget that play. I still can't believe

2348
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: how beautifully drawn up that was. I have Florida winning

2349
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 1: the whole tournament had them beating Duke. I'm gonna stick

2350
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:46,520
Speaker 1: with him. I still think Florida is gonna win. I

2351
01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 1: think that Houston's riding high, and I think that they

2352
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: absolutely can win the game. I just think this is

2353
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 1: Walter Clayton's tournament, and until proven otherwise, I don't think

2354
01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 1: he can be stopped right now, and so I think

2355
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:02,680
Speaker 1: Florida is going to win the game, and I think

2356
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: they'll cover. I mean, I think it's one and a

2357
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: half right now, so it's not like that's a big

2358
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 1: Bowld take. But I think if I think you can

2359
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,320
Speaker 1: have it close against Houston, if it's close against Houston,

2360
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get beat. That's what we've seen in

2361
01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 1: this tournament, and that's the way Kelvin Sampson has coached

2362
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: this team. You can't leave them alive because they are

2363
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 1: definitely going to be the zombie that gets you. So

2364
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,760
Speaker 1: I feel like you have to put them out and

2365
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: put them down. And I think that Florida will be

2366
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 1: able to pull away enough to win that game.

2367
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 2: And it's still one and a half won forty one

2368
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 2: and a half, Florida favored body one and a half points,

2369
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 2: so no movement yet. Usually this big movement by a

2370
01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 2: half point or one point when the line first comes out.

2371
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 2: Nothing yet. That's kind of interesting.

2372
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:47,040
Speaker 1: Well, it should be a good one if you're right,

2373
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:49,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really great game if I'm right.

2374
01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,360
Speaker 1: Still ought to be good. It was a great final four,

2375
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 1: despite Arnie originally saying he thought it was boring. That

2376
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:58,280
Speaker 1: did not work. So you were playing good?

2377
01:58:58,400 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

2378
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and Plank or yeah now tonight depending on

2379
01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 1: where you're listening to us. And Plank has Houston beating

2380
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:07,320
Speaker 1: Florida in the final in his bracket.

2381
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:09,640
Speaker 2: Yes, he does, so him. And then there's a couple

2382
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:13,360
Speaker 2: guys that have Florida winning, so it's still uh, one

2383
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:15,320
Speaker 2: or two or three different people can still win.

2384
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 1: Well, and maybe you'll be talking about Ovechkin as well.

2385
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, we'll see.

2386
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: So you guys have what all right, It's always fun, Arnie,

2387
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 1: we appreciated our usual friend final four pairing. All right,

2388
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,520
Speaker 1: stick around games on Monday, enjoy it, and enjoy the

2389
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 1: rest of your weekend, folks.
