1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Welcome into Doug Gottlieb Show. We got Doug Gottlieb in

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: a place that doesn't have any snow in it, which

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: is just sounds glorious. Right now, Doug, how's it going.

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: It's going well. It's going well.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: If it was going poorly, then something would be going

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: extremely poorly. Right now. You're in my hometown too. That's

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: why I'm even more jealous. But we're at the best

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: time of year in college basketball, March Madness. Obviously, I

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: know that you would think it was a lot better

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: if if your team was in it. But I know

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: that you have, you know, followed college basketball for so long,

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: So how exciting is March madness for you?

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: It's weird, you know. I've been on so many different

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: last year. I just couldn't even bring myself to stomach

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: just watching even a possession right like, So, I'm excited,

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to sit here and say I'm

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: a genius about everything going on in college hoops.

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: That's fine. Hey, I'm not a genius either, but I

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: still fill out a bracket. I think that you have

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: at least a little more, a little more knowledge of it.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Following the game.

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: One would one would think, but who knows.

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Hey, who knows what anyone filling out a bracket. Let's

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: get to your bracket though, by the way, before we

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: do this, have you filled out a bracket on your own,

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: not this is your first bracket?

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: Then yes, we're doing We're doing it. We're doing it

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: right here on WFRV plus.

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: I love that. There we go. Okay, let's start in

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: the top left. We got Duke taking on Sienna. Of course,

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: the big storyline with the Saints is Jerry McNamara is

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: their coach, but of course it's the number one overall seed.

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: Duke or you you pulling for an upset or who

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: you got?

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: No? I mean again, I know sixteen's have beaten ones

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: in the past. I do think that Caleb Foster being

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: out for Duke la kid, who's a three year player

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: as a point guard, being out, I do think that

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: potentially hurts their chance of winning national championship. But I

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: don't think it hurts them in terms of beating Sienna.

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: The Blue Devil's moving on.

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: There we go, we got Duke, nopeus Duke. Okay, let's

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: go Ohio State TCU. These eight and nine are always

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: tough to pick. Who you got there.

45
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting, you know, Ohio State kind of stuck

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: in the tournament. TCU though one of the hotter teams

47
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: in the country coming out of the Big Twelve late

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: in the year. Three of those wins late in the

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: year were over my own modern Oklhoma State, so I

50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: got a chance to see them. But but Ohio State

51
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: they beat us pretty handily. Going back to last year,

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: I like Ohio State. In this matchup, you have a

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: ve and senior point guard who's an absolute stud. We

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: couldn't guard him. I think he's one of the more

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: underrated players in the country. I'll take the Buckeyes.

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Moving on, there we go, so Duke take it on

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State. But we don't do brackets like that. We're

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: starting with the round of sixty four. Saint John's Northern Iowa,

59
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the Big East champions who got past Yukon against a

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: Northern i feel like this is one of the five

61
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: to twelves that people like it is.

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: And you know, Saint John's has had some weird ones

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: where they haven't been able to score, and of course

64
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: Northern Iowa has Wisconsin borne products. Will Hornsteth of course

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: played to peer Leon Bond who's there as well. And

66
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: this is the Northern team that I think had great

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: aspirations and kind of struggled in the regular season put

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: together to an arch madness. But the Johnnys are just

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: a different level of athleticism defensively and they rebound the

70
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: hell out of the basketball. My general premise or premise,

71
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: my general thought process is dynamic defensive teams win those

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: early round games. You get to the higher levels. Occasionally,

73
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: if you can't score, you can't move on. Saint John's

74
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: dynamic defensively, Saint John's wins the game.

75
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: There we go in Northern Iowa's magical run of being

76
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a six seed make in their conference, making all the

77
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: way to the tournament, that comes to an end. Okay,

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Kansas against the team that is in the state that

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: you are currently in right now, cal Baptist, I think,

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I think this is their first time in the tournament.

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: And who you got, Bill Sell from the Jayhawks against

82
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: cal Baptist.

83
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: Rick Kroy is the head coach of cal Baptist, really

84
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: good friend of mine, former junior college coach at Citrus,

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: and of course he's part of that Randy Bennett family

86
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: with Saint Mary's and Rick. He does something really cool.

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: He brings his team down every summer to Newport Beach

88
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: and plays pick up basketball with just the staff and

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: they get other old husbands like myself. So I know

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: Rick really well. We also know Kansas well because they

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: kicked the hell out of us and we played their

92
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: opening game of the season. People have gotten no Dom Daniels,

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: who's stud they have, God, what's the kids name? We

94
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: recruited him. He's from Milwaukee. James Jackson, who's great kid.

95
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: He was at Northern Arizona for a couple of years.

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: Good kid, good player. I do like cal Baptists to

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: be competitive. Uh, but Kansas is so early defensively Floria

98
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: badunga is I mean Texas rim meecon Garden one through

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: five and forrest Aaron Peterson even he plays half the game,

100
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: that's that's half a game. You struggle to garden. This

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: is a bit of a talent and financial mismatch. I'll

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: take the Jayhawks.

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: Gosh, can't wait for that round of thirty two matchup

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: if you're right between Rick Patino and Bill self. But yeah,

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: the Darren Peterson questions that will definitely loom large. We

106
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: got Louisville against South Florida the six and eleven. Now

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: we know that there are stats and statistics. You know,

108
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: there's statistics out there that say that eleven's beat six

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: is more than fifty percent. I don't know how you

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: feel about Louisville. And you know this is the first

111
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: tournament game for Pat Kelsey as the as the head coach. Right,

112
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: so taken on South.

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: Second he plays they play last year?

114
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: They oh yeah?

115
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: And then lawstorn right, I like South Florida. I think

116
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: South Florida for the upset. Sure, why not?

117
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: There we go Michigan State, North Dakota State. I assume

118
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: you're going Jeremy Fears in company.

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 2: I am North Coast State and a couple guys. I

120
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: think the big kid Peterson who's from Wisconsin. They got

121
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: they got a couple of guards that we recruited. They

122
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: did a great job in terms of their evals. So

123
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for THEE in their program. But yeah,

124
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: I think Sparty's a bit too much for him.

125
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: There we go, We're going Sparty there, UCLA, UCS who

126
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: you got seven ten?

127
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: Well, mister stand on business. Obviously UCF's power forward. We

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: saw Jamichael's stillwell. We still have nightmares for playing against him,

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: who's at Milwaukee last year. They also have folks who

130
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: was at Milwaukee. Everybody feel like UW Milwaukee heavier light

131
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: or whatever. But I UCLA's elite in their backcourt. I

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: don't know if Tyler Bill is gonna play, but I

133
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: do think U c l A wins his game. That's

134
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: a Eric Dailey's a stud kid. He was at Oklahoma

135
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: State when I helped out there. Ruins will win the game.

136
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: And we'll see if UCF brings a student section, and

137
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: maybe a reporter can once again ask Mick cronin how

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: he feels about the student section yelling at one of

139
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: his players. Got UCLA moving on. Okay, let's go yukon

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: taking on Furman in the two fifteen.

141
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: I got you Herman. The Paladins great program, but I'm

142
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: gonna I'm taking you cut.

143
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's the gauntlet from a coach as you

144
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: are yourself. That's a gauntlet region for coaches with with

145
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Rick Pattino, with Bill self, with John Shire, with with

146
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Danny Hurley and mc cronin and you name it and

147
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Tom Izzo. Okay, let's go down like.

148
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: You sound like oh, let me tell you they got mccron.

149
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: If only I had his voice, right, Okay, And also

150
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the report coming out, I will mention this, Jason Bennetti

151
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: will take over for Brian Anderson in the first two

152
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: rounds of Anderson hopefully gets his voice back. As all

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: announcers and anyone that works in sports media knows, that

154
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: is the worst thing to have happened to you is

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: when you lose your voice. Okay, let's go to the

156
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: south please.

157
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the worst thing in terms of affecting your broadcasting, right,

158
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: there's a lot worse things that can happen here.

159
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Yes, one million percent for your job purposes, yes, yes,

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, try to trust me.

161
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: You know what the deal with the secret in coaching

162
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: and in broadcasting is. I'll give people a secret. We

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: get no money yet from Starbucks, right, okay, but the

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: medicine ball. You have to drink a medicine ball. Go

165
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: to a Starbucks, order a medicine ball, like just a

166
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: tall medicine ball every day, just to make sure you

167
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: protect the instrument. That's big. Yo. There's a yogi yogi

168
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: tea that's called throat coat, kid you not so I

169
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: would also recommend that to BA. I said in that

170
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: text earlier today. But the medicine ball is just a

171
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: go to for any coach any broadcast you'll see and

172
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: they walk around with Starbucks cups, which is almost always

173
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: a medicine ball tea in the middle of the season.

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: I have a friend that does games for the Clippers,

175
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: Carla Jimenez, and he stands by medicine ball. That is

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: his sing. If he has the Starbucks nearby, that's his thing. Okay,

177
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: let's go to the South Region Florida taking on whoever

178
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: wins that first four game between a pair of sixteen seeds.

179
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: Do I even need to name who those two sixteen

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: seeds are? Nope, Nope, there you go. Okay, Okay, Clemson

181
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: take it on Iowa in the eight nine.

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: Clemson's got some injuries. Iowa, obviously, Ben McCollums teams going

183
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: back historically have been great in the tournament, you know,

184
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: in the Division two tournament. Good last year with Drake.

185
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: I love Iowa, but in this game, I don't think

186
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: they got out athleted, so I'll think Iowa over Clemson.

187
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, there we go. I think that is that both

188
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: not know you did take a to Ohio State. Okay,

189
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Vandermilt McNeice. If we remember McNeice, they were the upset

190
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: team last year that everyone picked, right or was it

191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: a few years ago? Either way, now they're going up

192
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: against But here's the thing.

193
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. It wasn't really an upset because mcneise

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: had more money than whoever they were playing. Like mcnisse's

195
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: last year when we'll wad it was a very well

196
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: funded program this year not. I mean they're still well funded, okay,

197
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm not bandy. Really well coached, spread you out,

198
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: and they got some cash there too. Byington does an

199
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 2: amazing job as a coach, really tremendous offensive coach. I

200
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: know they struggled late in SEC play and then of

201
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: course they go all the way in the SEC to

202
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 2: the SEC championship game. I like and Andy by a

203
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: good amount. I think Gosh, mcnee's a little bit on

204
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: reputation because of last year.

205
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and part of the reputation is that guy that

206
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: carries the big speaker, Amir Aura Khan. He's back from

207
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: NC State. So yeah, okay, well his run comes to

208
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: end and maybe he'll go to a different school like

209
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: you did. With NC State with Will Wade. Okay, Nebraska

210
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: take it on Troy in the four thirteen.

211
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: You know, Nebraska obviously has never won an NCAA tournament game.

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: Think about that ever one NCAA tournament game. But you

213
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: know Rick mouse Like he played for Wartle like in

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: Wardle's first year at Bradley. He's so old because he

215
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: missed last year with injury. I like Nebraska. I think

216
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: this is finally the year that the Huskers win NCAA

217
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: tournament game.

218
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: There you go, that'd be cool to see. Okay, North

219
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Carolina take it on VCU. There's a lot been made

220
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: about UNC and not having their best player. Do you

221
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: see VCU pulling off? I mean it might not even

222
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: be an upset because North Carolina doesn't have him. Yeah,

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I like.

224
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: I like VCU in this matchup Phil Martelly junior. VCU

225
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: obviously not the fundy of North Carolina. But when you

226
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: take away a kid who could be the number one

227
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: pick in the NBA draft, probably top five pick in

228
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: the NBA draft, they just haven't looked the same. I

229
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: know Seth Trimbles, this is his last kind of go around.

230
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: He's had a tremendous other Wisconsin kid, right, but I'm

231
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna take VCU for the upset.

232
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: Here there we go, and I don't know if you saw,

233
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: but the whole Caleb Wilson thing. He was named second

234
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: team All American, which means he is eligible to have

235
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: his name in the rafters, which I'm fairly sure they're

236
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: going to do, which is interesting, weird. Okay, so VC,

237
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: you're taking the eleven over the sixth Illinois battling penn

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: were going Ivy League.

239
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: No. I love Franz, my guy, that's who signed me

240
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: a Notre Dame. He's got TJ. Power who had forty

241
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: four in the iv League championship game. But Illinois is

242
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: they're the best team in FOBA playing in the NCAA

243
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: tournament because they have they have so many foreign born players.

244
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: I'll take the Alina.

245
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: That's very true. And you just brought up an awful

246
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: fact for the Yale Bulldogs who had to watch that shot.

247
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Going to give that guy forty and then he finished

248
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: with forty four in that win in the Ivy League championship. Okay,

249
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: so you're going with Illinois, Saint Mary's, Texas A and

250
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: M seventy ten.

251
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the battle styles, right, Texas A

252
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: and M top five in pace. Saint Mary's the slowest

253
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: pace in the NCAA tournament. Right. It is traditionally easier

254
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: to slow a game down, that is, to speed it up.

255
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: I think they're more difficult in the second game than

256
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: they are the first game. Remember, because you only have

257
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: like a day of repair for a completely different style.

258
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: I think Randy Bennet, I mean you look, Todd Golden

259
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: was his assistant, played for him. His family continues to spread, right,

260
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: his assistants are all over. Randy's is as good a

261
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: coach that I've ever seen. That's That's not to take

262
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: away from Bucky Ball, but I like Saint Mary's. Easier

263
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: to slow it down there is to speed it up.

264
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: I think the Gales will find a way to dominate tempo,

265
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: get the ball in and make Texas A and M uncomfortable.

266
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the gaels. There we go.

267
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna make this one quick. Do you

268
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: have Kelvin Sampson in Houston taking out Idaho? Yes, there

269
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: we go. Okay, awesome, Let's go up top top right

270
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: to the West Region, Arizona taking on the Sharks of

271
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Long Island.

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: Former former GB Center ISAAA Miranda on the Sharks in Arizona.

273
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: There we go.

274
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Arizona.

275
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Nathy agreed. What you got? Villanova Utah State eight nine?

276
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: Oh interesting one. Villanova back in the tournament. I actually

277
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: like going over over Utah. I think there's a chance

278
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: to Utah States coaches on the move. Obviously they did

279
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 2: well in the Mountain West, but I think you know,

280
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: there's a financial gap disparity there where Nova's a little

281
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: bit better up. I'm gonakek no, but.

282
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: There we go. Kevin Willard Company moving on. Okay, Wiscont's

283
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: in high Point five twelve. We got our first local team,

284
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: our only local team in the men's bracket. Do you

285
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: have Bucky moving on or does the does the Badge.

286
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: Boyden black Boyden Boyden Blackwell are terrific? And yeah, I

287
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: I think was Scott high Points really talented. Flynn climbing

288
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: in their new head. I actually my dad and aau.

289
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: It's a interesting story, but I got the I got

290
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: the Badgers.

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: There go. The Badgers are only one in three when

292
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: getting that five seed. But this year the Killer Bees

293
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: they look good. Okay, Arkansas Hawaii. Who are you taking?

294
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Four thirteen?

295
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Arkansas super talented team? A cuff is these special is

296
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: just a freshing point guard.

297
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: There you go, sec champs, move on. Okay, b Yu Texas.

298
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Who you got? Texas just winning in a thriller over Ens.

299
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: He stayed in the first four.

300
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and BYU not having Richard Richie Saunders, they kind

301
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: of fell apart late in Big Big twelve play a

302
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: j debanza, it was likely to be the number one,

303
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: number two overall. Pick a super talented player, he thought.

304
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: Texas they just kind of found away and kind of

305
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: will there to win. I like, BYU, I just I do?

306
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: I think I think the Cooks win this one.

307
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: There we go. Let's feed this through the rest of

308
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: the round of sixty four so we can get to

309
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: the round of thirty two. Gonzaga Kennessa State Sex Miami,

310
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:25,840

00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: There you go. Hey, as as journalists, we respect that

314
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: a great journalism school. Okay, Purdue take it on. Queens

315
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: two fifteen.

316
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: Perdue.

317
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: There we go. Yeah, that was pretty easy. Okay, down

318
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: to another one sixteen. We'll go to the Midwest Region,

319
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Michigan battling a Howard squad that unfortunately beat you, NBC.

320
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Or maybe we'd all be looking at the Retrievers and

321
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: wanting another sixteen against one.

322
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: No question, but I Michigan losing their backup point guard

323
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: hurts in terms of winn national championship, but doesn't earn

324
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: this game. Michigan Big.

325
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: There we go, Georgia Saint Louis. I think not that

326
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: it would be an upset. I think a lot of

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: people are leaning toward the Bilicans here.

328
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: I like the Bilicans. I know they didn't play well

329
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: late play well late in eight ten play, but Church

330
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: now standing coach, Uh, it's not gonna be Ricky Avila's

331
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: last game. I'll take the Bilicans.

332
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. Take it on Akron, just to make you mad,

333
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: just to do it.

334
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Ackland's really good obviously in Texas Tech with out

335
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: there without without topping the rest of the season, I

336
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: still take Texas Tech.

337
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, there you go Alabama Hofstra. Of course, a

338
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: lot coming out about one of the top players for

339
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: the Crimson Tide getting busted on a felony drug charge.

340
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: Do you feel like.

341
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: Weed is a lot of weed that's a lot of weed.

342
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: That's a lot of weed. But is it an enough

343
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: to be prideful? I don't know. I'm just trying to

344
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: create something there. Do you think you of Alabama or Hofstra.

345
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: No, I mean this is a difference. Alabama has a

346
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: has a backup point, backup scoring guard that's as good

347
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: as anybody on Hoffser's roster. The Crimson title be just fine.

348
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Okay, let's run through these last four gets. The round

349
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: of thirty two. Tennessee against whoever wins that first four

350
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: matchup tonight, Miami of Ohio SMU.

351
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: I think my Ohio beats SMU. One of SMU's best

352
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: players not playing tonight, but I think that Tennessee smacks

353
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: my Ohio.

354
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: There you go, Virginia against the Horizon League champs, Right State.

355
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: Massive respect for Clinton, what he's done at at Wright State.

356
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: Will be caring for him. But the Wahoo's it's a

357
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 2: good team this year. Take Virginia.

358
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: There you go. We got popen company at Kentucky battling

359
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: Santa Clara.

360
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: Well, Sata Claiir is good. I do think that Kentucky's

361
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: they just there's a depth of talent there that that's

362
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: too much I'll take. I'll take Big Blue Nation.

363
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: There you go Iowa State, who has a couple Wisconsin

364
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: Natives and Jamar and Bateman and Xavion Mitchell. You got

365
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: them up against Tennessee State.

366
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Ahowa State. Handle it.

367
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go. Okay, let's go round to thirty two.

368
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: Let's be uh. We got about ten minutes left, so

369
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: let's let's push through these Duke Ohio State, who you got, Duke.

370
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: There we go Saint John's Kansas. You can give some

371
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: analysis on that. I think this is going to be

372
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: an incredible game. If this is the fourth I do I.

373
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: Mean this, This game will be unbelievable defensively, unbelievable defensively.

374
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: I do think that this is a game neither team,

375
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: you know, the Darling Kid has become kind of the

376
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: point guard for Saint John's. Neither team is great in

377
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: terms of point true point guard play. I really think

378
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: it comes down to does Darren Peterson play the whole game?

379
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: He plays the whole game, Kansas wins he doesn't, they don't.

380
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that tournament time he starts to play. I'll

381
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: take kau to Saint John's.

382
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: South Florida Michigan State eleven against three. Do you have

383
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: an eleven go into the sweet sixteen?

384
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: I do not. This is where Michigan State Spartan goes

385
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: to sweet sixteen.

386
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: There we go u C l A, Yukon. Gosh, is

387
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: this a good one too?

388
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: What a game? I like Yukon? I like I like

389
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: the hustles. You know, UCLA has had games where they

390
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: just have have no show. It's no showed at times.

391
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: This year we know Yukon and what they're able to

392
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: do in the NCA turn outside of biggies play take Husks.

393
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: There we go Florida, Iowa. Do you have Florida continuing

394
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: on that trend of going back to back? Yes?

395
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: Yes, yes Florida. You know their front line. Their front

396
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: line is nasty, right and if you look at Ben

397
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: McCollum teams, yes, Bennetts search is a huge part of

398
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: their wins. But they defend their rebound and nobody rebounds

399
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: better than than Florida. Those Gators are so big a

400
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: cross front line.

401
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: But who will who will play them? Vandy and Nebraska.

402
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: Bandy bandy Sebaskan There.

403
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: You go vs. You Illinois? Tell me what eleven Seeds

404
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: going to sweet sixteen.

405
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you, but it's not. You

406
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: know again, I think injuries tell a big story, right,

407
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: Like all of my upsets, all of my up the

408
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: first round have injury as a major, as a gigantic

409
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: reason why. And Illinois does not, knock Wood have that issue.

410
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: Illinois BASVC Saint Mary's against Houston. What do you see?

411
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: Wooh? What a game? The Coops are not as good

412
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: as they've been in the past, right, and Saint Mary's

413
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: is better than many other many other other sents. But

414
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: but I do think that they're bumping into their ceiling.

415
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: A Kingston Flannings is He's only a freshman, but gosh

416
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: is he good. I like the Coops to go to

417
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: sweet sixteen.

418
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: There we go. We got mostly chalk outside into the

419
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen. Outside of ye the what is it the

420
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: five Vanderbilt. So let's see if we continue that on

421
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the right side of the bracket, we got Arizona Villanova.

422
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: What do we got Arizona Villanova, Arizona? Think?

423
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Wisconsin Arkansas, As Greg guard continue, I like Arkansas.

424
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: I do think that I do think obviously wisconsinan score

425
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: and that game will be really exciting. I do think that.

426
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think Arkansas I'm gonna take close.

427
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Thought you were gonna double take right now?

428
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: No, I mean again, I think I think of it

429
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: like there's acuff against Nick boyd Less there are two,

430
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: like you got a veteran guard. But I just I'm

431
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,800

Speaker 1: Kentucky ticket on Iowa State. Could this be a good

445
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: one or what?

446
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: I like? Iowa State in this one. I just think

447
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: they're tougher they're more connected that better at the point

448
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,280

449
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: Let's lock down our elite. A Duke taking on Kansas.

451
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:49,760

452
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720

453
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: You con Michigan State's really good, but the way to

454
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: beat them is to spread them out, and you kind

455
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: does a great job of that.

456
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: Florida take it on Vandy Florida.

457
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,640

458
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: I like it. Okay, how about some Big twelve against

459
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: Big ten Houston Illinois.

460
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: I'll take Houston. Houston, by the way, this year elite

461
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: offensive team known for their defense, still very good defensively,

462
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: elite offense. I do think that, you know, Illinois, when

463
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: they get to Sweet sixteen playing that five out, they

464
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: don't they they play more in ISOs than we do.

465
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: That we play more with cuts, and I think that

466
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 2: I just don't think there's the number of mismatches at

467
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: that level. I'm gonna I think the line.

468
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: I go down Arizona Arkansas on the right side, Arizona.

469
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: Arizona moves on. That's all three number one seeds moving

470
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: on so far. Gonzaga Perdue. Yeah, I like.

471
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: Purdue over Eh, you know what I like. I'm thinking

472
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: Zag over Purdue.

473
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: There gonna go for Due was the seventh seed the

474
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: Big Ten Tournament, went all the way to win it,

475
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: but their run ends. According to Doug Gottlieb in the

476
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: Elite eight. Okay, Michigan against Alabama. You said you like Michigan.

477
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: Do you love them?

478
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: I do? Obviously Alabama's gonna have a puncher's chance, and

479
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: the thought is maybe ain't Holloways back for the sweet sixteen.

480
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter to me. I'll take I'll take that big Blue.

481
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll take Michigan.

482
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tennessee, Iowa State.

483
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: I like Iowa State.

484
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: There we go. Tj Otselberger and company. Move on. Let's

485
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: set our final four is Duke Yukon.

486
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: I like that, right? How good would that be? Huh? Yeah,

487
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Duke to beat Yuka.

488
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: There we go. National championship rematch from a year ago,

489
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: Florida Houston. That's a treat as well. There we go,

490
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: so they stay alive. Arizona Gonzaga. A lot of people

491
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: have Arizona winning the whole thing. Do you have them

492
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: moving on or do you think that Gonzaga can squeak.

493
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: And when the whole thing as well? So yes, I

494
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: like Arizona.

495
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: There we go, little teaser right there? Do you have

496
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: all four numbers one seeds as we saw last year

497
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand and eight, Michigan

498
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: against Iowa State.

499
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: I do have Michigan beating Iowa State.

500
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: There we go? Why not? Why not stick with the trend?

501
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Everyone gave everyone so much flak for taking all four

502
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: number one seeds last year and then it had a

503
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: note working out, So why not stick.

504
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: With the best teams? Are the best teams for the reason.

505
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: I also think that they have more money than other people.

506
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: That was gonna say that.

507
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: That's just the part of it.

508
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: So in our national championship, Duke Florida.

509
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: Hard one, right. I like Duke Duke this year. I

510
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 2: don't think they're as good as maybe they were last year.

511
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: But I think Florida's not as good at the point

512
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: as they were last year. So I'm gonna take Duke

513
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: to win the game.

514
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: Who do they meet Arizona or Michigan Arizona. Yeah, and

515
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: you kind of already teased who you were going to

516
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: take before you give me who between Arizona and Duke,

517
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: even though I know who you're gonna pick. What is

518
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: your tiebreaker total? It's one of my favorite parts about

519
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: the bracket of the final game. Yeah, how many total

520
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: points scored in the championship.

521
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: So it's it's Arizona taken on Duke. Right, high, high

522
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 2: scoring game. Let's go with eighty eight to eighty two total. Right,

523
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: So you got that's one ninety.

524
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Then eighty two should be one seventy seventy.

525
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: Sorry, Oklahoma State, not the ground. I wasn't a math

526
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: major marketing made at all. I said one seventy, right,

527
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 2: we edited that one seventy.

528
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: That's what you won, seventy right. Yeah, forget obviously what

529
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about, and I assume that you have Arizona

530
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: winning the whole thing.

531
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: I do. I did go you know, Tommy Lloyd, Tommy Lloyd,

532
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean, man, his Arizona's come up short so many times,

533
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: different coaches, right, last time they won it. My best

534
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: friend in basketball, Miles Diamond, was also in Indianapolis nineteen

535
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: ninety seven, so we are God, are we that old now?

536
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: Thirty nine years ago? But the Cats will win again,

537
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: Cats when again, this time at a different the dome,

538
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 2: right next to the dome which is no longer there

539
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: where they've won last time.

540
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: And that's I think that would be the first time

541
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: since that year that a team, not obviously they're no

542
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: longer in the past, West West Mississippi would win a

543
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: national championship. I like that you're supporting US West Coaster,

544
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: so I appreciate that, even though I'm still very jealous.

545
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're turned away from the water. Thank you.

546
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

547
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Doug. Well, I aim to do dis please. That's so

548

549
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: the water in the background.

550
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: There we go, We'll go soak in the sun. Thing

551
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: so much, Doug. This has been the Doug Gottlieb Show.

552
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: That's Doug's bracket, the Arizona Wildcats winning it all. We

553
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: will see you next time.
