We 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: have got games going on right now in the NCAA tournament, 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: some close, some not so close, and we have the 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: story of the tournament going on right now in Miami 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: of Ohio, one game in. They are the Cinderella of 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: this tournament because of what they were able to do 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: in Dayton just a couple of nights ago, but an 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: early deficit. As you heard Isaac Glohingcrown say, RedHawks erin 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: Torres down eleven. Right now, it's the six seeded Tennessee 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: volunteers in the in their matchup right now in Philadelphia. 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, Tennessee, really solid squad. Obviously coming out of the 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: SEC thought this would be a tough matchup and it 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: has been. In there in the middle of a three 38 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: minute scoring drought, trailing by fourteen points with about seven 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: minutes to go in the first. 40 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: It got worse for them literally in the thirty second 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 2: handoff that I did to Aaron. It was eleven, and 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: now it's up to fourteen. So now the question becomes 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: who is Cinderella, and a Cinderella maybe playing right now 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: and we don't even realize it. It could be right 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: under our nose. And right now Alabama and Hofstra are 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: playing and Alabama and don't laugh, Alabama has an eight 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: point lead, and you're saying, well, if Hofstra is losing 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: by eight with eight minutes to go, how could they 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: be the Cinderella. One of the questions I post to you, guys, 50 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: that's not the Cinderella I'm talking about. Can you have 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: your second leading score arrested on drug charges and not 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: be eligible for the tournament in the same week that 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: you're playing a game? Can that turn you into a Cinderella? 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: Because Alabama right now is playing without their second best 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: player because he was arrested on drug charges on Monday 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: morning in Tuscaloosa. But Alabama going on a run in 57 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: the tournament without their second best player, would that characterize 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: Alabama as a Cinderella playing without Aiden Holloway. I ask you, 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: Aaron Torres. 60 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: I don't think you can be a Cinderella just because 61 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: you're without your second best player, because listen, Kentucky has injuries. 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: U NC had an injury. They're certainly not going to 63 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: be Cinderella. Duke has injuries. You could argue Duke's second 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: and best player is out right now with an injury. 65 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: So I don't think you can qualify them as a 66 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 3: Cinderella simply because the best player is out. 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, how far would they have. 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: To go in the tournament before you could hypothetically even 69 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: consider them as Cinderella without accounting for why they don't 70 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: have their second best player. 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: Good question. It's very difficult against Texas Tech who lost JT. 72 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Top and correct for the season. They don't have him, 73 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: and Christian Anderson was dinged up as well, but he 74 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: was actually able to play today when Texas Tech advanced, 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: So it wouldn't be on Sunday. If Alabama wins that 76 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: they would be the Cinderella. However, from that point on, 77 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: if you face the number one seed in Michigan, you're 78 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: an underdog. It's a story. If you were to win 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: that game, you have now upset a number one seed 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: and you would go to the bottom half of the 81 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: bracket where I know Iowa State head injury injuries are 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: everywhere but for Alabama to get to the Elite Aid 83 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: after beating a Michigan team, I think it begins at 84 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen. Sure, I think that's when it starts. 85 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: But should they be banned entirely from Cinderella category because 86 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: an arrest on drug charges is completely different than someone 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 2: turning their ankle into practice exactly right. Yeah, so that's 88 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: what we're trying to decipher. Jason Stewart, do you have 89 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: any thoughts on whether Alabama should be considered to Cinderella 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: despite the arrest earlier this week? 91 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 6: I think, purely based on the definition of Cinderella as 92 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 6: it pertains to the NCAA Tournament, they can't be a 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 6: Cinderella only because when I think Cinderella, I think the 94 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 6: Disney version of Cinderella. Only kids are allowed to watch Cinderella, 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 6: the animated version on Disney, so kids should not be 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 6: privy to the fact that the guy had two point 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 6: one pounds, yes, just. 98 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: Shot two point two. 99 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: Just shy of what Aaron was a possible face. 100 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Ten years minimum ten year sentence. 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe I shouldn't be laughing at this, but it 102 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 2: is like, this is the ridiculousness of college basketball. 103 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: Well and I will tell you I was thinking about this. 104 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 3: You know, you talked about if they beat Michigan, what 105 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 3: they would do is pick up the momentum of the weed. 106 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 3: Isn't that big of a deal? Crowd that maybe would 107 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: not otherwise be invested in the nach Tournament. That is because, 108 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 3: as somebody who talks about college basketball, you know, this 109 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: time of year, every day, I was critical of Alabama for, 110 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: you know, having yet another legal situation, and the comments 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: I would say were probably like eighty twenty Well, it 112 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: was probably like eighty percent other fans saying Alabama basketball 113 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: is completely out of control, ten percent Alabama fans, why 114 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 3: do you hate our program? And then ten percent you 115 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: total square it's marijuana. Who cares? Now, listen, I'm gonna do. 116 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do the disclaimer that we all do in 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: this business. I'm not saying I never made mistakes when 118 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: I was younger, twenty twenty one, twenty two years old, 119 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: I feel very confident saying that never in my life 120 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: have I knowingly been in the presence of two point 121 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: one pounds of marijuana. But again, according to a certain 122 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: segment of that population of a population of a total square, 123 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: so that population now all of a sudden, they got 124 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: their bandwagon and maybe it's their Cinderella. 125 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: What's worse playing with the player that played in the 126 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: NBA or you know, sign an NBA deal or this, 127 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot like a lot of these lines 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: are now blurred when it comes to athletics. Now, I'm 129 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: just on the surface. I think it's impossible for a 130 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: power college football, power four college basketball, power five school 131 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: to be considered a Cinderella. But I'm even a little like, 132 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: I'll waiver it if it was like a bottom Big 133 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: East school, I'd maybe hold off. Like if it was like, 134 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: let's say Providence made the dance and they that would 135 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: be a little bit of a different story. It's difficult 136 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: for me to think that Alabama could be a Cinderella, 137 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: especially on the heels of something we talked about a 138 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: little bit ago on Fox Sports Radio and if you 139 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: missed it, Aaron and I were in for Stut Goatson 140 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: Company Live. As we were throwing things on here's the 141 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: thing the Iowa sam which by the way, may get 142 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: a name change. Alabama made the Final Four a couple 143 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: of years ago, so them going on a run here 144 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't However, I don't know how many people expected Alabama 145 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: to beat Hofstra today. I think it was a trendy 146 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: pick for an upset, and I don't know how many 147 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: people had Alabama even going far considering what happened on 148 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: Monday morning in tuscan Loosa. So that's why I raised 149 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: the question, is Alabama an actual Cinderella if you lose 150 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 2: your player because of the drug situation? 151 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 3: Well, let's let's turn the phrase a little bit here. 152 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: Let's go from Cinderella to feel good story. If they 153 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: beat Michigan to advance to the Elite eight at that point, 154 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: and let's say they beat a two seat or a 155 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: three seat to go to the final four, can they 156 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: be a feel Let's say it's that three number ones 157 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: and Alabama who went through Michigan and whatever. Can Michigan 158 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: be the or can Alabama be the feel good story 159 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: the tournament? 160 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: That is an angle that I think is intriguing because 161 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: when you don't have Aiden Holloway, these players are the 162 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: ones that are penalized, right, So that's that's also like 163 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: why of like these players who want to get to 164 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: the NC double A tournament, want to get to a 165 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: final four again, want to win a National Championship. I'm 166 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: sure they would love to have their second leading scorer 167 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: on their team, so they are playing at a disadvantage. 168 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if it will be a rallying cry 169 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: or not for them, but you you would have to 170 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: think that they would rather have Aiden Holloway than have 171 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: what's than not have him in this NC DOUBLEA tournament. 172 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, it would become a feel good 173 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: story in a way that you're, yeah, you're cheering for 174 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: these players who now have less of a chance to 175 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: achieve the goal of a final four. 176 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: Sure comment, but I don't know if it'll get us 177 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: a trouble. 178 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: Jason Stewarts, you can mull it over. 179 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: Say they they lost more than apparently they may have 180 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: lost more than just their second leading score. 181 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, Okay. Can you do with 182 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: that as you please? 183 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 6: All Right, I've been steaming on something ever since Aaron 184 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 6: said it on the air for the last five minutes, 185 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 6: and I just have one thing to say, okay, And 186 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 6: I don't want to get political. I don't want to 187 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 6: piss anybody off on a Friday afternoon, But if you know, 188 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 6: prisons are filled with people that make poor judgment Okay, 189 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 6: if something is illegal and you knowingly do something that 190 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 6: is illegal, then that that tells me about your judgment. 191 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 6: So prison time or what have you doesn't matter that 192 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 6: pot has the laws have become more relaxed about it. 193 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 6: You chose to do that when you knew it was 194 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 6: illegal at the time. So I just don't whoever has 195 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 6: been given air and a bunch of this stuff on 196 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 6: social media, that's my blanket response to that. 197 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: I think it was Corvette guy three twenty six. I 198 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: think that's who it probably was. Yeah, probably letting you know, 199 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: giving you the business. But also to that point, doesn't 200 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: that hurt the current Alabama players that you had a 201 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: player that was suing stuff which would then make them 202 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: a bit of a Cinderella. Don't you feel scorn when 203 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: wheen of your friends does something that you would never 204 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: ever think that they would be capable of doing and 205 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: you want to stand by them for But depending on 206 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: the level of whatever it is, there are decisions that 207 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: you have to make and ultimately, like you may lose 208 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 2: a friend and that friend could have, you know, meant 209 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: whatever to in your life. Getting big picture, But with 210 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: Alabama here, I don't think. I don't think they're going 211 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: to I don't think the NCAA is going to wrap 212 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: their arms around the Crimson Tide if they make it. 213 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 6: Now. 214 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 2: It would be interesting if it was like nineteen ninety 215 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: seven Final four, three number ones and a four seed 216 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: and the four seed ends up coming out of the 217 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: bracket as the national champion like Arizona did. But I 218 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: just it's it's tough to think that I think that 219 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: there's there's a soft spot in my heart for Alabama 220 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: playing this game when I think we all actually had 221 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: the hard nosed edge of what we thought of the 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: Crimson Tide entering today. Is that fair enough? Like that 223 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: just it's easy to think that there's no reason to 224 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: cheer for Alabama and that they're probably not going to 225 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 2: win because of how bad this week was. Sure, however, 226 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: there is a reason to feel some sort of empathy 227 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: towards the current Alabama players because of what happened to them. 228 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: So winning this game against Hofstra, which I would think 229 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: that people use that if you're going to pick an upset, 230 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: that's probably the spot that you're going to pick, or 231 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: one of the popular spots, and so Alabama coming through 232 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: on it, I actually think it's not a feel good story. 233 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: It's not a Cinderella, but there's something good to it 234 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: that we just can't grasp. 235 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we can't see it, and you're right, and 236 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 3: you know, and listen. The one thing I will say, 237 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: as somebody's covered many NCAA tournaments, you get a lot 238 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: of media availability, and so we'll see if any quotes 239 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: come out of I had no idea that was Aiden's 240 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: character and his roommate, and I've never seen such a thing. 241 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: And maybe somebody does say something like he let me down, 242 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 3: you know, I'm a whatever. So if they make a run, 243 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: we will have plenty to find out of if this 244 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: was an isolated incident that no one was aware about, 245 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: or if it was something else. 246 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody would think Gonzaga is a Cinderella. 247 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: As a number three seed, they're going to have Texas 248 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: tomorrow in the round of thirty two. Gonzaga's been there 249 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: a while, but one of the things that hasn't been 250 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 2: talked about is the changing of the guard in college basketball. 251 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: That's actually going to happen this year. There were minor storylines, 252 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: but ultimately Gonzaga says goodbye to the West Coast Conference 253 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 2: they're going to be a member of the PAC twelve, 254 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: the new PAC twelve that will reform. And today we 255 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 2: had a Santa Clara teine take Kentucky down to the 256 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: wire and was two seconds away from winning that ten 257 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: to seven upset and having two West Coast Conference teams 258 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: make it to the round of thirty two in a 259 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: tournament where we had three West Coast Conference teams make 260 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: the field of sixty eight. Conzega three seed, Saint Mary's 261 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 2: was a seventh seed, lost less night to Texas A 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: and M, and Santa Clara was the ten seed. I 263 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: marveled at something over the last twenty four hours, and 264 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 2: it's that Gonzega is so strong of a brand that 265 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: they got two teams in the tournament. Sure, in addition 266 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: to who they are. When you look at the rest 267 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: of the West Coast Conference in the play, it's not 268 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: different than many other mid major conferences or low major conferences. 269 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: Saint Mary's has had a long run of success. Santa 270 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: Clara and what herb Sendek did today and what they 271 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: did this season should be commended. But in no other league, Aaron, 272 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: are we looking at for what the West Coast Conference 273 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: is as a whole. Are we looking at a league 274 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: saying they could get three schools in and the only 275 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: reason we are is because of Gonzaga. And I think 276 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: that that should be applauded because we look at Gonzaga 277 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: in a lot of different ways, and they're now going 278 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: to become a different team. They were the apple of 279 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: the Big twelves. I at one time, right when Rett 280 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: your mark in the Big twelve, we're trying to put 281 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: together a basketball powerhouse. Isn't necessarily happening with Gonzaga, but 282 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,479 Speaker 2: they're doing a pretty good job of it to otherwise. 283 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: But Gonzaga was so strong of a brand that if 284 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: you were able to beat Gonzaga or compete with Gonzega, 285 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: you are considered one of the top thirty teams thirty 286 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: five to forty teams in college basketball. And it's not 287 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: that Saint Mary's didn't deserve a bid, and it's not 288 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: that Santa Clara didn't deserve a bid. It's the recognition 289 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: for Gonzaga that no other school in the country has 290 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: the power that they do to actually elevate two other 291 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: schools to make them NCAA Tournament worthy teams. 292 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you know what's interesting is the 293 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: Saint Mary's thing happened about seven eight years ago. They 294 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: started kind of this run of every year being in 295 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: the in in the mix, and then Santa Clara the 296 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 3: last couple of years has really elevated as well. And 297 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: by the way, it's not just them. I was thinking 298 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 3: about it San Francisco. Todd Golden, who's now the Florida 299 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: head coach, was at San Francisco. They got in that 300 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 3: large bid about three or four years ago. And so 301 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: one it is the it is the north star that 302 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: you attempt to be or attempt to reach, but in 303 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: the process of getting there, even if you can't quite 304 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: get to the Gonzaga level, it allows you to get 305 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 3: to a higher level, schedule better get better games in 306 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: the non con elevate the whole league. So I think 307 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: it's a very interesting point by you in that it 308 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: doesn't feel hyperbolic to say that this will probably be 309 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: the last time that the WCC is a three bid league. 310 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: And I'll be curious if if they can, you know, 311 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: especially with Santa Clara kind of emerging the last year 312 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: or two, if they can stay even at the two 313 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: bid status. 314 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: I don't think so well. I was gonna say, is there. 315 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: Does Saint Mary's. 316 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 3: It won't become the new Gonzaga because there's only one Gonzaga. 317 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 3: But are they good enough where if you beat them 318 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: two out of three times that they could get in 319 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: at large and then by default you get in as well. 320 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: Probably not, but you never know. 321 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: I think that maybe in rare years, but I just 322 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: don't think it would be how we looked at the 323 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: MAC this year with Akron and Miami of Ohio, and 324 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: look at what Miami of Ohio had to do. You 325 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: know me, I've been a Saint Mary's Yes fan all 326 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: the way since early February when I went to the 327 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: University Credit Union Arena pavilion. I already forgot what it was, 328 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: but it was the University Credit Union Arena or pavilion 329 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: and they beat USF the night before the Super Bowl. 330 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: I loved it. It was magnificent, it was a magnificent atmosphere. 331 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: Loved everything about it, and so I followed Saint Mary's 332 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 2: over the last month of the year, and yesterday they 333 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 2: were just completely overmatched by Texas A and M team 334 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: that is middle of the road at best in the SEC. 335 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: This is who Saint Mary's beat this year in non 336 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: conference Saint Thomas, Minnesota, pretty good school, but playing in 337 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: the n Chattanooga, Ohio, North Texas, Arkansas State, U Siemer said, 338 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: Wichita State, Virginia Tech. They lost to Vanderbilt by twenty five, 339 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 2: beat Davidson, lost to Boise State, beat FAU, beat Northern Iowa, 340 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: and then they went into conference play where they lost 341 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: to Gonzaga on the road by eight and then beat 342 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: them in the final regular season game of the season 343 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: in Maraga in Moraga, California. It's home game. 344 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 3: It's a great point if they go seventeen to one 345 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 3: in that league but don't have the win over Gonzaga, Like, 346 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 3: is a win over Virginia Tech and a win over 347 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: Wichita State enough to you know, I know, no North. 348 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: Any other school, probably not, That's what I'm saying. But 349 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: I think that just Gonzega being in that league and 350 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: being competitive. Yeah, then to answer your question of just 351 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 2: being competitive is telling you, Okay, we think enough of 352 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: them that they are and that's This isn't a Saint 353 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: Mary's conversation. This isn't a WCC conversation or a MACH 354 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: conversation or a low major. This is a purely Gonzaga 355 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: conversation for how powerful and how meaningful that program has 356 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: been in so many different ways and emerging from a 357 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: no name. I remember when John Stockton was in the 358 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: NBA and we were saying, where is Gonzaga? And so 359 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 2: now over the last twenty five maybe going on thirty 360 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 2: years now, as it was the late nineties that they 361 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: ended up emerging. But to see the power that they 362 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 2: have and how that power is now going to change. 363 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: Curious to see and how it plays out. What is 364 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: the new PAC twelve and how those schools end up 365 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: basically you know, following the in the shadow and maybe 366 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: riding the coattails of Gonzega. 367 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: Basketball in that league too. 368 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 3: Yea, yes, no, it's very interesting and that would obviously 369 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 3: be it'll be interesting because Utah State will be part 370 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: of that league. Utah State is playing right now. I 371 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: will say, I think, you know Miami of Ohio, people 372 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: were wondering, you know, is there a run in them? 373 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: Trained By nineteen two Minutes to Go. 374 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in 375 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 7: the nation.

My Dairy Queen of my hometown opens 421 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: in the spring. It's one of those windows that what 422 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: you walk up to and it's the start of spring. 423 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: It's the greatest place. And when Dairy Queen's open, everything 424 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: is better. What are you doing with Dairy Queen now 425 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: that March Madness has arrived? 426 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 8: It's for the college March Madness brakets And if you 427 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 8: order between now and April twelve, if you order Chicken 428 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 8: Ships off the DQ app, you get a free box 429 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 8: of Buster Bar treats. And it's some great fun partnership. 430 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 8: It makes sense and just keeps you and we just 431 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 8: keep trying and grow. 432 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, Derek. 433 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: You know, I think between your name and of course 434 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: the company, there's some very natural synergy. So I know 435 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 3: why you're working with them for March Madness. How many 436 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: all star teams you got to make before we get 437 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: you on the menu, Like, how do we get the 438 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 3: Derek Queen on the menu? 439 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 8: Probably probably smart at least one or two. 440 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's fair. I think it's reasonable expectations. 441 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 2: Derek Queen joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, How 442 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: have would you characterize your rookie season with the New 443 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: Orleans Pelicans. I know the wins aren't there, but your 444 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: production has been there. How would you characterize your first 445 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: season in the league. 446 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 8: Uh, I feel like it's been good. Definitely gonna be better. 447 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 8: Just still trying to learn, still trying to grow, ask questions, 448 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 8: and still try to understand the league. So right now 449 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 8: it's good. Everybody else say is good, but UH, hopfull 450 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 8: I can look back at it and be like, this 451 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 8: was a really good right season. 452 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 3: Obviously a year ago you were playing in March Madness. 453 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: Before we get to your time at Maryland, Like, what 454 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 3: what has been either the biggest adjustment or biggest surprise 455 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 3: now that you're a pro compared to college and high school? 456 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 6: Oh? 457 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 8: Probably, I mean probably the amount of games, I guess, 458 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 8: or the amount of different cities you go to is different. 459 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 8: But both were great times. College college cities are like 460 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 8: more like they're more like people saydn't probably more challenging 461 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 8: to go to because some of the cities we went to, 462 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 8: like Nebraska, it is a great city player because there's 463 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 8: nothing in Nebraska but Nebraska, and that was a great 464 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 8: place to play at. 465 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 2: Derek Queen joining us here on Fox Sports Radio on 466 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 2: behalf of dry Queen. Aaron mentioned your time at Maryland. 467 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: You had something that I think anybody who plays college 468 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: basketball dreams of. That's a buzzer beater in March Madness 469 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: last year you ended the Cinderella run of Colorado State 470 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 2: in that four to twelve matchup with Maryland. How many 471 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: times have you watched one shining moment to watch your 472 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: game winner against Colorado State last year? 473 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 8: From that from that time to now, I'm probably like 474 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 8: two everywhere. 475 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: Derek, hold on a sec. We're just having a little 476 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: trouble with the connection. Let me get this right. So 477 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: it's at least two hundred times and at least three 478 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: times a week you have watched that game? Was that? 479 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: Is that? 480 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 7: Yes? 481 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: Official? 482 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 8: Yes, that's correct. 483 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: That that that is amazing. We watched it again today. 484 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 2: Take us through that play because we had a buzzer 485 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 2: beater earlier today with Santa Clara hitting a shot and 486 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: then Kentucky hits one at the buzzer you were kind 487 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: of in the same situation when Colorado State hits a shot. 488 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 2: I think you even tried to get in the face 489 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: of the three at that point, but six seconds left. 490 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: Take us through that whole scenario of what happened last 491 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: year leading you to your one shotting moment. 492 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 8: Uh, yeah, they came down. I hit a shot, a 493 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 8: big three, and then things like seven seconds left, one 494 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 8: of my team is added out of balance, called time out, 495 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 8: ran up and played coach Willa X who wanted the 496 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 8: ball set me and then rested. 497 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 4: Like history. 498 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: You were teammates with Cooper Fa Yeah, at mont Verde Academy. 499 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: You're eating up the MAVs when you face him in 500 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 2: the NBA? Like, is there is there added incentive when 501 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: you go up to Cooper and can do you follow 502 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: his rookie season at all? 503 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 8: Yeah? I watched all my friends, all my teammates are 504 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 8: rookie seasons. They are doing good, they are doing well. 505 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 8: But yeah, it's just friendly competition. Justn't like some We 506 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 8: talked about playing against each other, playing the lead and stuff. 507 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 8: So just just excited and just happy to play against. 508 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: The Are you guys the greatest high school team ever assembled? 509 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 7: Yeah? 510 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 8: I think we are. 511 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 2: You are well. We appreciate the time. Are you gonna 512 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: be taking in the tournament? I know Turps obviously aren't 513 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: in it in the first year under Buzzwelliams, but are 514 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: you excited for what we've got the rest of the 515 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 2: way in the brackets. 516 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely excited. I'm definitely gonna watch I'm 517 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 8: gonna watch Villanova, still watch some of my friends that's 518 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 8: in that's still in the tournament. But I'm just excited 519 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 8: to see who's gonna win, because I'm actually uncertain who's 520 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 8: going to win this year. 521 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: Now, you said you watched the one shutting moment three 522 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: times a day or you have people come up to 523 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 2: you talking about that shot three times? 524 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, like like. 525 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 8: Both, Like I hear about it. People talk about it 526 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 8: like a lot. 527 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 6: Uh. 528 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 2: It's great. Well, Derek, best of luck the rest of 529 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: the time with the Pelicans this season and in the future. 530 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 2: And thanks so much for your time and best of 531 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: luck cheaming up with Derek Queen. We'll talk to you soon. 532 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: Thank you. I'll tell you what Derek Queen ended my 533 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: survivor run I picked to Colorado State in the upset 534 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: last year. I didn't want to bring that up to 535 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 2: him on the phone because I'm sure he didn't care. 536 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: But everything comes back to survivor pools. I remember that 537 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: buzzer beater. I wasn't happy with it. Then but getting 538 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 2: a chance to talk with Derek Queen about it, now 539 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: I feel a little bit better about it. 540 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 3: I think I actually had Maryland, but I realized there 541 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 3: were so many people that had Maryland. I had more 542 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 3: than one entry. It probably would have actually benefited me 543 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 3: had he not made that both buzzer beat. 544 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: It was a crazy one too. Off the glass. Yeah yeah, 545 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: right at the last second. And then when you watch 546 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 2: the one Shining moment from last year, he gets into 547 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: a really good part of Luther's version of this song, 548 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: like a build up right before the chorus, and then 549 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 2: you got them celebrating. So it's every kid's dream to 550 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: be right, to be able to do that, to hit 551 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: the shot. Talk about this. My hometown is ninety five 552 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: hundred people. We really don't have a lot of great 553 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: athletes come out of our high school, but we've had 554 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 2: a few here or there. And one of those was 555 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: Paul Jessperson, who was the state player of the Year 556 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: in Wisconsin about ten fifteen years ago. Paul's not the 557 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 2: head coach of the G League's the Phoenix Suns affiliate 558 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: in Arizona, and Paul hit the half court shot to 559 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: beat Texas for Northern Iowa in the first round NA tournament, 560 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: and he got into one shining moment he jumped on 561 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 2: the scores table. And so that's always a neat thing 562 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: for just because it represents the whole entire town. So 563 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: I always think that if there's a kid that makes 564 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 2: a buzzer beater, not only is he the one watching 565 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: it and the schools, but everybody that was associated with 566 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 2: that player throughout. So I'll always always remember that, and 567 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: it's a memory not only for the player, but for 568 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: so many others as well well. 569 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 3: Now that we're talking about our high schools. So I 570 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 3: didn't really so, uh, Mark Lasry, who is the Bucks? 571 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: I believe still owner? But you said he's either sold 572 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: or isn't. 573 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, he sold his share to Jimmy Haslam. Okay, so 574 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 2: now it's Wes Eden's and Jimmy Haslam. 575 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 3: So we had Rick Buker on earlier and you referenced that. 576 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 3: I said, I I knew he was the Bucks owner, 577 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: but I guess he's not the Bucks owner anymore. 578 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: But he went to my high school. O' ryan, did 579 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: you have something Iowa? Sam? 580 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 9: Well, you brought up and of course I should have 581 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 9: known this, but you brought up Paul Jefferson, and he 582 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 9: was featured prominently on Sports Center last night for that 583 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 9: shot against Texas to you know, the buzzer buzzer beater. 584 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 9: But you know that was the I think that was 585 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 9: the year after Ali farrokman Ish. I want to say 586 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 9: at least a year, I think. So Ali went to 587 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 9: my high school and he of course helped beat Kansas 588 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 9: and get to the Sweet sixteen off the with Northern Iowa. 589 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: Sure, and I'm sure everybody in your high school is like, yeah, 590 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 2: I mean Northern Iowa. It's unique because you're also in 591 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: you know, it's a smaller school, but you're in Iowa, 592 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 2: like for us being in Wisconsin. It was and unique 593 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 2: as well. 594 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 9: Ali of course, now coming off his first year at 595 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 9: Colorado State had a twenty one season. It's going there 596 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 9: for him, it's going well. 597 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: Yes, very good surface level information, very good surface level. 598 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: I have a feeling you we're going to see that 599 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 2: Kentucky three in one shotting moments after the National Championship 600 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 2: game for sure.

But Kentucky with the buzzer beater survives 629 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: and then wins in overtime against Santa Clara. What a sequence. 630 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. And you know, we were in for Stu Gott's 631 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 3: company earlier, and you know, it's just such an interesting 632 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 3: thing because Kentucky season has been disappointing, and I think 633 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: there is an element of the fan base that kind 634 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: of just wants the season to be over. But one, 635 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 3: you don't want to lose to Santa Clara. You're just 636 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 3: You're Kentucky. You don't want that to happen. But two, 637 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 3: you know, listen, I know I was State one by 638 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 3: two hundred points today, but their best player, Joshua Jefferson 639 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 3: left the game. 640 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: I think it's an ankle. 641 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's been confirmed yet, but he 642 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 3: was seen walking around with crutches in a boot.
