Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Florida's sixty five points of the fewest by a winning
Speaker 2: team and the combined total one twenty eight fewest in
Speaker 2: a title game since twenty fourteen. Also, this is just
Speaker 2: the second title game in the last thirty five years
Speaker 2: decided by two points or less. The Duke Blue Devils
Speaker 2: beating Butler in twenty ten was also a two point marginow.
Speaker 3: Stall of a day, stall of a day, stat of
Speaker 3: a day, stantata day.
Speaker 4: This is the start of the day.
Speaker 2: In college sports, we tend to treat conference realignment like
Speaker 2: it's a business move, and for a lot of universities
Speaker 2: it is business. But after watching Florida win the national championship,
Speaker 2: it's more than just about money.
Speaker 4: Take Duke.
Speaker 2: Duke dominated the accus and if you're not tested during
Speaker 2: the regular season, you get to steamroll your way to
Speaker 2: the final four. You rarely play from behind, you rarely
Speaker 2: feel that pressure. And then the moment demands that and
Speaker 2: they flinched fourteen point lead, vanished in the final four,
Speaker 2: and with it their chance for a national championship. And
Speaker 2: then you look at Florida. The Gators weren't perfect, but
Speaker 2: They were prepared for this moment. They've fallen behind in
Speaker 2: four of their tournament games and came back to win,
Speaker 2: including last night.
Speaker 4: But you know, think about this.
Speaker 2: They were down ten to Texas Tech, comeback down late
Speaker 2: to Auburn, another comeback two point win over the defending
Speaker 2: national champion Yukon Huskies. Last night, they're down by twelve
Speaker 2: at one point. No panic whatsoever, that's experienced. That's what
Speaker 2: happens when your battle tested Florida was Duke wasn't, and
Speaker 2: it made all the difference in the world. I said
Speaker 2: this a couple of weeks ago during the regular season,
Speaker 2: if if you win the SEC, it's like winning the
Speaker 2: national title. And that's exactly what happened. Florida won the SEC.
Speaker 2: Florida won the national title. They were ready for the
Speaker 2: moment and look aesthetically, no, it wasn't pretty basketball, but
Speaker 2: it was pretty close basketball. And you're seeing a team
Speaker 2: come from behind again. They had margins of at least
Speaker 2: six points, four second half comebacks down at least six points.
Speaker 2: That's the most in a tournament game since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: And you know, give Houston a lot of credit because
Speaker 2: they also showed that same kind of grit determination.
Speaker 4: They were prepared for a moment.
Speaker 2: They didn't quit against Duke, but that moment last night
Speaker 2: where you look at the last three, last four possessions
Speaker 2: and they got nothing.
Speaker 4: Out of it.
Speaker 2: They had turnover, turnover, turnover, and then couldn't get a
Speaker 2: shot off, and you start to look at what the
Speaker 2: play was.
Speaker 4: Florida seemed to know what that does. Design was.
Speaker 2: Here's Calvin Samson, the Houston head coach, on that design
Speaker 2: of the final play.
Speaker 5: We have a set where it's a stagger gate, and
Speaker 5: we thought if we could get Emmanuel to shop fake
Speaker 5: and get downhill. I have to look back at the
Speaker 5: film and I don't know if the ball slipped out
Speaker 5: of his hands or they probably should have shot fake that.
Speaker 5: You know, Clayton made a great play on that. But
Speaker 5: you know, I say, you got a shot fake and
Speaker 5: get in the paint.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was surprised.
Speaker 2: It felt a little too on the perimeter, and maybe
Speaker 2: it was starting on the perimeter to then get to
Speaker 2: the basket because you're down too. And that's what I
Speaker 2: kept thinking. You at least have to get something towards
Speaker 2: the hoop. Don't settle for a three pointer to try
Speaker 2: to win the national championship. And I don't know if
Speaker 2: that was the play, but Florida knew what the play
Speaker 2: was going to be because they blew it up right away.
Speaker 2: So give credit to Florida did a great job with that.
Speaker 2: Here is how that final play sounded us that on
Speaker 2: the right hand.
Speaker 3: Way and stops with seven seconds because it's a crier.
Speaker 3: Six seconds to go, five seconds to shark top of
Speaker 3: the key, lost the dribbles, He's got to pick it up.
Speaker 3: Its scripped up by content content secures, Like I'm drawing
Speaker 3: a found away from twelve down to the school's third
Speaker 3: national championship in men's basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was courtesy a Westwood one. But that's embarrassing.
Speaker 2: The turnover, turnover, turnover, can't get a shot off and
Speaker 2: you could have pumped fake. Give Clayton, who's not a
Speaker 2: great defender, he made a great decision to go out
Speaker 2: there because you can maybe draw contact in a situation
Speaker 2: like that. But I think he was flying to the
Speaker 2: ball at an angle that he was not going to,
Speaker 2: you know, affect the shooter or at least be drawn
Speaker 2: into getting three free throws there.
Speaker 4: I was just surprised.
Speaker 2: It felt like it was going slow, slow, and then
Speaker 2: you do a pick and then somebody slides by, somebody's
Speaker 2: ready to set another pick, nobody's there to set a pick,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you're reversing it, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you're in trouble, and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden.
Speaker 4: You're tick tick tick tick tick tick tick, and then
Speaker 4: it's over.
Speaker 2: But give credit to Florida because that's a battle tested team.
Speaker 2: And when you have those players who've been in moments
Speaker 2: like this, and granted it's the sec that you're in,
Speaker 2: not the NCAA tournament with these moments, but it does translate.
Speaker 2: And you saw that because Duke didn't handle the pressure well.
Speaker 2: And when you have three freshmen out there, there's there's
Speaker 2: a little bit of doubt, there's reasonable doubt of what
Speaker 2: you're going to do with the game on the line
Speaker 2: when you're.
Speaker 4: Not used to those situations.
Speaker 2: But Florida wins the national championship and winning sixty five
Speaker 2: sixty three. See let's pull question today, Well, we might
Speaker 2: as well start with a little bit of a downer.
Speaker 2: Worst way to lose a game.
Speaker 6: Is this a Todd Fritz, This is not a Todd
Speaker 6: negativity pole, the classic Paul Paps Negativity poll. That might
Speaker 6: negativity index. We might be starting the PPN I Paul
Speaker 6: Paps Negativity Index. I'm gonna spend all day working on them.
Speaker 6: Sticky anyway, the worst way to end a game not
Speaker 6: getting a shot off called third strike or a quarterback sack.
Speaker 6: Both of them are great called third strike. To lose
Speaker 6: a game is to swing the bat, lad get gone,
Speaker 6: get the mouth of shoulder, Come on, yeah pull?
Speaker 7: What really hurts beyond the loss obviously, if you're a
Speaker 7: Houston fan, is not even the hope of a shot
Speaker 7: going up, not even because that wins it. If it hits,
Speaker 7: it wins it at the buzzer, not even getting a
Speaker 7: shot off, or like a Bengals fan, you you had
Speaker 7: a chance to win a super Bowl and a sack
Speaker 7: your quarterback doesn't even get downfield with a throw, which
Speaker 7: is more painful.
Speaker 2: Well, there's no guarantee that granted with Joe Burrow, would
Speaker 2: he have hit Jamar Chase, they would have won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Yes, that appears to be according to with
Speaker 2: the film shows. But I don't know if we have
Speaker 2: a called third strike that we can reference there. I
Speaker 2: think not getting a shot off, because you can at
Speaker 2: least tie the game if you get a good shot
Speaker 2: and all you want is hope you got the ball
Speaker 2: and you got to get two. If you happen to
Speaker 2: get three, you win the National Championship.
Speaker 4: A sack.
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan against the Patriots getting sacked. Yeah, I would
Speaker 2: say last night that you don't even get a shot off.
Speaker 2: At least you took the ball, and I know, you
Speaker 2: know called third strike. You don't get the bat off
Speaker 2: your shoulder the sack. At least you have the ball
Speaker 2: in your hands, and you know you have that opportunity
Speaker 2: to get rid of the ball. They didn't get a
Speaker 2: chance to even get a shot off. Yep, yes they've
Speaker 2: you know too with a called third strike.
Speaker 6: Sometimes a pitch has the ability to just freeze you
Speaker 6: and you don't really know why, but you're like, dang,
Speaker 6: that was a hell of a pitch where you see
Speaker 6: it and you just can't you're just frozen and it
Speaker 6: just gets you, you know.
Speaker 8: Yes, Marva Carlos Beltran, didn't he have a called called
Speaker 8: third strike in NLCS. The bat did not come off
Speaker 8: of your shoulder?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, I think not getting a
Speaker 2: shot off and maybe it's recency bias where you're just
Speaker 2: going who drew up this play? Like what was the play?
Speaker 2: And the fact if you have a play and you've
Speaker 2: run that play, that's great scouting by Florida if they
Speaker 2: know what your go to play is, because every team,
Speaker 2: certainly when you get to that moment, knows if there
Speaker 2: is a go to play, what's it going to be?
Speaker 2: And you know it's going to be a close game.
Speaker 2: Because Florida was favored by one, you know it's going
Speaker 2: to be a tight game. Houston plays tight games when
Speaker 2: it comes down to a one play what are you running?
Speaker 2: And I can guarantee you Florida's coaching staff scouted that
Speaker 2: and knew what that play was going to be because
Speaker 2: they were there and they blew it up in real time.
Speaker 2: What else do we have today? Seaton for the first hour.
Speaker 6: Well, let's see, I'm just posting that one right now.
Speaker 6: Paul just sent over another one too. That's kind of interesting,
Speaker 6: believe it or not.
Speaker 4: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 6: Should the NCAA tournament also give out an award for
Speaker 6: the finals.
Speaker 4: MVP instead of the most Outstanding Player?
Speaker 6: Well, they give out the most Outstanding Player, and maybe
Speaker 6: you do that, but then Should there also be a
Speaker 6: final MVP?
Speaker 4: Yeah sure, I don't care. Yeah, enthusiastically forget that. Would
Speaker 4: Walter Clayton Junior the third one have?
Speaker 2: He wouldn't have won the Most Valuable Player last night,
Speaker 2: but he was the most outstanding player.
Speaker 9: Yes, Todd a second half team get Floord even another
Speaker 9: trophy because they were.
Speaker 7: The best second team blood Paul Walter Clayton got the MOP,
Speaker 7: but Will Richard from Florida would have got MVP of
Speaker 7: the final, which would be kind of a cool award
Speaker 7: to have because it's kind of overlooked.
Speaker 6: His night just stepped up earlier, had a whole bunch
Speaker 6: of other games in the tournament.
Speaker 2: Should But if you're most Outstanding Player, then you've been
Speaker 2: the most outstanding player over the entire tournament.
Speaker 7: But then you have a bad game or off night
Speaker 7: and someone else gets this the other award.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you had to lead them.
Speaker 2: Without you, they don't get to there, right, So you're
Speaker 2: the most outstanding player?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sure, if you want to have another award.
Speaker 2: Sure, I think that they're probably satisfied with winning the
Speaker 2: national championship. I don't know if Will Richard is going.
Speaker 2: You know, I should have been MVP. I think he's okay.
Speaker 2: I think he's okay, all right, eight seven to seven
Speaker 2: to three DP show email address DP at Danpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle a DP show. It was one of those
Speaker 2: Julio Jones retires and you go, okay, Wow, that's right.
Speaker 4: Hasn't really done much the last few years.
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer as soon as you hear the name
Speaker 2: Julio Jones, or the fact that we haven't heard his
Speaker 2: name in a couple of years, maybe not Hall of
Speaker 2: Famer at least right away. He had a five or
Speaker 2: six year window. How many times do we say that
Speaker 2: though about receivers? Man, he had a five or six
Speaker 2: year window, because that's usually all you get, a five
Speaker 2: or six year window. And he had a lot of yards.
Speaker 2: I think he only had like sixty six touchdowns. I
Speaker 2: say only because I think he had like thirteen thousand
Speaker 2: receiving yards. But we'll play the Julio Jones Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame game coming up.
Speaker 9: Yes, Todd, Yeah, I have a negative recency bias when
Speaker 9: it comes to Julio Jones. But we can save that
Speaker 9: from a whole discussion. I usually ruin it all and
Speaker 9: I just say things way ahead of time. If we're
Speaker 9: going to make a little segment out of it.
Speaker 2: But don't I always tell you say it like I
Speaker 2: always tell you you and Paulie.
Speaker 9: Always tell me that, and I always ruined surprises and
Speaker 9: birthday gifts for your wife.
Speaker 2: No, but when we do our pre show meeting and
Speaker 2: then you'll go on a rant, I'll go save it,
Speaker 2: and then you continue the rant, and then I'll go, Ton,
Speaker 2: save it.
Speaker 9: I think it's less disobeying you more my own neurotical
Speaker 9: like I'm gonna forget what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 4: You write it down.
Speaker 9: I could do that. Yeah, this writing implements his laptops,
Speaker 9: his ways to jot down your thoughts these days.
Speaker 4: Save it, Ton, Okay, I'm behaving this.
Speaker 6: Todd does have a tick though, where if he's gonna
Speaker 6: if he needs to get it out of his brain,
Speaker 6: he is going to say it. There's nothing that you
Speaker 6: could that is true. It doesn't matter. If it's in
Speaker 6: his head and he has to get it out, he
Speaker 6: will get it out. It doesn't matter what else is
Speaker 6: going on around.
Speaker 2: You know that Golfer and the corn Faery tour, he
Speaker 2: put tape over his mouth.
Speaker 9: I could relate to that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was trying to play better golf and not
Speaker 2: be yelling and screaming.
Speaker 4: Maybe you do that in the morning meeting. Just put
Speaker 4: tape over your mouth.
Speaker 9: It is, really that's what I gonna come to.
Speaker 2: I don't want it to you're you're gonna force me
Speaker 2: to maybe suggest that to you.
Speaker 9: If I can't control myself, maybe we have to look
Speaker 9: at tape.
Speaker 2: But you do. And Seaton's right, I can tell when
Speaker 2: you blow right through the stop sign when I'll go
Speaker 2: Todd save it, boom, Todd say boom, and then I go, okay,
Speaker 2: great again.
Speaker 9: I don't mean to be rude. I know you guys
Speaker 9: take it that way, and I'm like giving a proverbial finger.
Speaker 9: I'm going to say what I have to say. I
Speaker 9: don't care what any of you guys think. It's not
Speaker 9: really meant that way. It's really harmless, and it's my
Speaker 9: own little insecurity or psychosis of some sort.
Speaker 4: But we all remember what we're going to say for
Speaker 4: the show, because the show is the important part of this,
Speaker 4: Like that's the content part.
Speaker 9: Yes, but I have a very short term memory. And just
Speaker 9: like when Poy said, how about not putting twenty words
Speaker 9: in the subject line and part of it is being disobeying,
Speaker 9: and the other part of it is like, oh yeah,
Speaker 9: that's right, he did tell me a hundred times not
Speaker 9: to do that.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 2: Well, way, take a break here, well settle on our
Speaker 2: poll question and get to phone calls as well. We're

Speaker 2: Then it's Bryson to Shambeau, Brooks Kopka, Joaquin Neeman. Let
Speaker 2: me see where Phil Mickelson is. Ram is plus thirteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Phil Micholson is plus eleven thousand. But I do love
Speaker 2: watching Phil at Augusta because he plays it differently, not
Speaker 2: afraid to take chances there, but Patrick Reid and Sergio Garcia.
Speaker 2: Cameron Smith. There was a time when Cameron Smith was
Speaker 2: a He was a moment it was like, Wow, that
Speaker 2: guy is maybe the best putter in the world. Then
Speaker 2: he took the money and disappeared. But they're back on

Speaker 2: DP Show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle DP show.
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on peacock, thank you for downloading the app.
Speaker 2: We'll get phone calls coming up and poll question Seaton
Speaker 2: for hour two is going to be.
Speaker 6: What Yeah, we got two of them up there right now.
Speaker 6: One of them has been called the most difficult question
Speaker 6: we've ever asked on this show.
Speaker 2: Well, who came up with the questions? Oh so, Pauli's
Speaker 2: this is the's on fire today.
Speaker 4: This is the toughest question, most difficult question we've ever asked.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's based on conversations and topics we've been discussing
Speaker 6: here on the show. Okay, Paul melded them into one
Speaker 6: melody impossible question to make melded. Okay, let me start
Speaker 6: with the easy one worst way to end a game,
Speaker 6: not getting a shot off, call third strike, quarterback sack.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 6: Now, this might be recency biased, but forty nine percent
Speaker 6: of not getting a shot off yeah, followed closely by
Speaker 6: called third strike. You can't take a called third You
Speaker 6: just can't.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: I mean that one's horrible and this has happened, though
Speaker 2: it happened a couple of times recently, called third Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7: You're gonna like this because you like umpires. Hey, there
Speaker 7: is nothing that gives an umpire a bigger stage than
Speaker 7: a called third strike to end a playoff game. They
Speaker 7: get to go the full rip.
Speaker 2: It didn't Babe Ruth take a called third to end
Speaker 2: the World Series? Or did he swing and miss in
Speaker 2: a World Series? I'm getting off topic here, I think.
Speaker 2: But okay, what is the toughest question that we've ever
Speaker 2: asked on this program?
Speaker 6: Which are you better at golf or dancing?
Speaker 9: Todd, I'm no Patrick Swayze or John Travolta, but you've
Speaker 9: all seen me on the golf course. I'm thinking I'm
Speaker 9: a better dancer than golfer.
Speaker 12: All right, Satan oh Man uh I mean, it's I'm
Speaker 12: a horrible I'm horrible at golf, terrible, and I'm infinitely
Speaker 12: better at that than I am at dancing, So I
Speaker 12: get I think I have to say golf.
Speaker 4: You're the reluctant dancer. Who you like?
Speaker 6: You reluctant in that I have hoped to never ever
Speaker 6: do it. I'm even like watching other people dance, I
Speaker 6: just never want to even. Yeah, and I'm so envious
Speaker 6: of people that can actually dance, like people that dance
Speaker 6: really well.
Speaker 4: God, how did you do that? Marvin?
Speaker 8: Golf dancing terrible golfer, so better at dancing.
Speaker 7: Okay, Paul, golf is not good, can't hit it deep dancing,
Speaker 7: I can compete. I can go out and not embarrass myself.
Speaker 7: Dancing I got to do some like musicals and plays
Speaker 7: with just enough I would embarrass myself.
Speaker 9: Golf I would embarrass myself.
Speaker 4: I'm okay at golf.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on how much I've had to
Speaker 2: drink as far as dancing, But.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say golf. Yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 8: During weddings, what do you guys like to do? Are
Speaker 8: you guys forced to come out there? Somebody you know
Speaker 8: gives you the finger point come on out here.
Speaker 6: That's oka the worst thing you can possibly do to
Speaker 6: a human being.
Speaker 2: Yes, but that's why I always sit with my back
Speaker 2: to the dance floor because then I can't get you know,
Speaker 2: Aunt Gertie going come.
Speaker 4: Here, and you're going no, no, no. I wanted to
Speaker 4: be out there. I would be.
Speaker 6: There's a reason I'm sitting here ignoring everybody.
Speaker 4: But I like it when there's a whole group.
Speaker 2: Therefore your movements aren't nobody sees them, and you could
Speaker 2: kind of just stay in your little vacuum.
Speaker 6: There, go to the middle of the crowd and no.
Speaker 2: No, no, because then they're always there's the circle, and
Speaker 2: then there's gonna be like it, and then they somebody
Speaker 2: jumps in the middle and dances, and then somebody comes
Speaker 2: out and then you're like somebody pushes you and you're
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, we're not doing that worse no
Speaker 2: or not no, yes Tom.
Speaker 9: But even with your back to the dance world, there's
Speaker 9: always that aggressive aunt or cousin what's going to come
Speaker 9: up to you and tap you and pull you in anyway.
Speaker 9: There's no way to hide unless you go in another
Speaker 9: room or hide in the bathroom for the whole thing's over.
Speaker 2: Like your sister wanting to dance with me at the
Speaker 2: bar Mitzvah and I'm like no, no, no, giving me
Speaker 2: the come here, and like no, I just.
Speaker 9: Got to give in. It's just one dance. There's a
Speaker 9: couple of minutes of your time. No it.
Speaker 2: Now, if your mom had asked me to dance at
Speaker 2: the bar Mitzvah, I would have. I would have done
Speaker 2: that because your mom's adorable and I can't say no
Speaker 2: to her. No matter what she asked, I can't say
Speaker 2: no to him.
Speaker 9: One thing I'd like to say is she'd give you
Speaker 9: the show up her back. Thank you. Never done that
Speaker 9: in public care, Yes.
Speaker 7: I think the toughest situation at weddings when you're dancing
Speaker 7: with your wife or girlfriend during a slow song and
Speaker 7: then they transition quickly like cool in the gang celebration
Speaker 7: and you have to get off the floor fast. Yes,
Speaker 7: you gotta make that move and go to the rights
Speaker 7: the bar.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like and then you're like damn it.
Speaker 2: And then you got to kind of you you dance
Speaker 2: off the stage yes, and you're like okay, yeah man,
Speaker 2: yes Marvel.
Speaker 8: This is the song when they introduce the wedding party. Oh,
Speaker 8: give it her for the parents of the bride. Dad
Speaker 8: has no interest in dancing at all.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, although wedding parties when they're introduced and
Speaker 2: then they'll be you know, the bride, bride'smaid and the groomsman.
Speaker 4: And then we're gonna, hey, you know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go We're gonna this where like synchronized, and
Speaker 2: then you're like, okay, hey, we're gonna have our own dance.
Speaker 4: Nah. That's not good either, not good. Yeah, play the
Speaker 4: music there.
Speaker 2: And please welcome the parents of the bride, Sally and
Speaker 2: Jimmy Lepper.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes to.
Speaker 9: The best part is when they say, we invite you
Speaker 9: to take your seats. Dinner is served and you can
Speaker 9: just get off the dance floor and not to feel
Speaker 9: bad about it. Everyone's got to stop dancing and they're
Speaker 9: bringing up the salad.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Tod. As long as that DJ.
Speaker 9: We all invite you to take your seats as they're
Speaker 9: bringing out the third course. Oh yeah, he sat down
Speaker 9: for some ZD You.
Speaker 2: Well, you did give us one dining moment last hour,
Speaker 2: so I think it's appropriate you speaking food here.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: Let me see a couple of phone calls in here
Speaker 2: Kevin in Texas, I, Kevin, what do you have for me?
Speaker 4: Leading off.
Speaker 13: There comes to ZD that that's an incredible line, Toddler.
Speaker 13: I was gonna skew negative because that's, you know, an
Speaker 13: honor of Paul PABs. I really can't stand them playing
Speaker 13: in these basketball stadiums. It feels like they can't shoot
Speaker 13: for the first half of the game. But anyways, most importantly,
Speaker 13: I would like to hear all five of you decide
Speaker 13: which is better one shining moment or let's get quizzical.
Speaker 2: One dining moment, or let's get quizzical both. From Todd,
Speaker 2: I'm going to say let's get quizzical because it was
Speaker 2: right after Olivia Newton John died and Todd thought that
Speaker 2: he was paying tribute to her, and it was.
Speaker 9: Painful honor the life and times of one of them. John.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was painful, yes, Paul.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was meant as a serious tribute to a
Speaker 7: great actress that he admired, and he was not making
Speaker 7: a joke in any way.
Speaker 2: Or a great musician or a great artist. Olivia Newton
Speaker 2: John not a great actress, Oh no, she's great. She
Speaker 2: was known for a music. I had a couple of
Speaker 2: moments there Greece.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I thought she was gonna win something for Xanader
Speaker 9: crush inbe you know.
Speaker 2: I did go see Zana do by myself. Kind of
Speaker 2: painful coming out of that where you know you got couples.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 9: Look, it makes good sports radio conversation.
Speaker 1: You gotta answer Rich.
Speaker 9: Just right, you know what I mean, don't google. Let's
Speaker 9: just try to think it out, telling yourself mentally, make sure.
Speaker 1: You know what talking about, or get embarrassed on.
Speaker 2: Let's get quizical quizicol.
Speaker 1: I wanted the quisitim quiz?
Speaker 2: So nobody asked for that and Todd. Todd thought that
Speaker 2: that was a tribute to Oliving. Yes, yes, a couple
Speaker 2: of phone calls in here, uh Jim, and I was very.
Speaker 9: Proud of that. By the way, I thought I was
Speaker 9: gonna get discovered by America's got out. I was gonna
Speaker 9: start getting emails and calls and that didn't happen.
Speaker 2: That's what surprised me more than anything that you thought
Speaker 2: it was good.
Speaker 9: I thought it was to be discovered. After that, I.
Speaker 2: Thought that it was creative. But your timing is off.
Speaker 2: It's not a tribute to her.
Speaker 9: Hard to get that pitch of the Olivia Hut and John,
Speaker 9: it's hard to get tick the high notes like that.
Speaker 2: You mean to be on key, to be on key,
Speaker 2: that's another way. Yeah, Jim in Michigan, Hi Jim, what's
Speaker 2: on your mind?
Speaker 14: A couple of times for you, Dan, you talked about
Speaker 14: the live tour. Maybe I'm the only one that gets
Speaker 14: frustrated when I surf on TV and I see the graphics,
Speaker 14: the score of the scoring. I can't read what the
Speaker 14: hell they're promoting.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on there, Jim. There's a whole lot.
Speaker 2: I was watching this weekend. I'm like, god, Lee, there's
Speaker 2: like five things here.
Speaker 14: And the other comment. I did go to the Masters
Speaker 14: in twenty fifteen, won the right to buy tickets. Brought
Speaker 14: my lovely wife, who was not enamor with golf, and
Speaker 14: she had an absolute ball, as did I. As you commented,
Speaker 14: the food was cheap, She got blisters on her feet
Speaker 14: from walking the course twice, and they at a first
Speaker 14: aage station. They took care of her. The greatest experience
Speaker 14: of my life, and I doubt if land in my
Speaker 14: lap again.
Speaker 13: But it was just a wonderful time.
Speaker 4: All right, well, thank you, Jim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I encourage people if you get the opportunity. It
Speaker 2: does live up to the hype. When you go to
Speaker 2: Amen Corner, when you walk on the grass, it's far
Speaker 2: hillier than what you think. And you go to twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and.
Speaker 4: Then even eighteen.
Speaker 2: I mean that is a climb up eighteen and that
Speaker 2: little narrow shoot when you come out of that tea box.
Speaker 4: And when I.
Speaker 2: Played, we played it all the way back as far
Speaker 2: back as you could play, and it felt like the
Speaker 2: trees were growing as I'm getting ready to tee up
Speaker 2: my ball, like the leaves and the branches are getting
Speaker 2: tighter and tighter and tighter, and you're just trying to
Speaker 2: get it through that shoot. But you watch, and that's
Speaker 2: why it's even more remarkable. Those greens. No green is
Speaker 2: flat there, undulating as they like to say.
Speaker 4: But if you get a.
Speaker 2: Chance, go Andrew in Oklahoma. We'll try it again. Hi Andrew.
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, love the show. First time, technical, second time, Okay,
Speaker 15: love the show. I'm definitely a better golfer than an answer,
Speaker 15: and I'm looking for the out for the dinner to
Speaker 15: come out. But there is enough called today, let's just
Speaker 15: find out, you know, when and how do we solve
Speaker 15: slow play on the PGA Tour because watching Brian Harmon
Speaker 15: and PC play are just absolutely brutal. Anyways, eyeing up
Speaker 15: and take the ns off the show.
Speaker 2: Well, remember Sergio, Sergio grip regrip, grip, regrip, but baseball
Speaker 2: had this, guys were taken forever, no more. He's the
Speaker 2: poster child for just get in the box. I gotta
Speaker 2: do this. And you know, I wonder if somebody's gonna
Speaker 2: have a note from their doctor where they bring it
Speaker 2: to the game and show the umpire to say, hey,
Speaker 2: I have this O C D this tick that I
Speaker 2: I mean. But Sergio it was forever. And Brian Harmon
Speaker 2: like he's gonna grip it and then look and grip, look, look, look,
Speaker 2: there's a couple of guys that just usually you get
Speaker 2: guys who are from Ireland for some reason because they
Speaker 2: just know you're going out there to play.
Speaker 4: Let's get the round done. You grow up playing that way.
Speaker 2: A lot of these golf courses in Ireland Scotland don't
Speaker 2: have driving ranges like you go, you go to play
Speaker 2: and then that's it. You know, a lot of them
Speaker 2: don't have condos or anything around it. It's you're going
Speaker 2: to the golf course and then maybe you have a
Speaker 2: pint and then you go home. That's it, you know.
Speaker 2: Now they have amenities really that for Americans it feels like.
Speaker 2: But when you're over there, there's places where you go,
Speaker 2: can I hit some balls?
Speaker 4: They're like on the.
Speaker 2: Course and I'll be like, oh, okay, you go there
Speaker 2: ready to play. And I love when you see some
Speaker 2: of these golfers. It's just like Shane Lowry, here you go,
Speaker 2: put the vall. I'm going. John Daly's as fast as
Speaker 2: anybody I ever played with. John doesn't wait for you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's swinging. You're lining up your shot and John go,
Speaker 2: I'll hit mine. He's not waiting at all. That's fun
Speaker 2: to be around, and that's the way golf should be played.
Speaker 2: Take your time. I understand that. But after a while,
Speaker 2: are we just trying to get your logo on TV
Speaker 2: or something airtime? We'll take a break. Steve Lapis, the
Speaker 2: former coach, done a great job with CBS. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to him about that final play, what he thought was
Speaker 2: being drawn up, and did Florida know exactly what was
Speaker 2: going to be called and we'll talk to him about
Speaker 2: some of the other items going on with college basketball.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2: Steve lapis CBS Sports college basketball color commentator. He was
Speaker 2: on site for the national title game in San Antonio
Speaker 2: last night. He joined us on the program, Good to
Speaker 2: see you again, Coach. Let me start at the end
Speaker 2: of the game, then maybe work our way back the
Speaker 2: play that was called and Florida, knowing what that play
Speaker 2: was going to be, did that kind of was that
Speaker 2: the collision that we had, Yeah, and.
Speaker 11: That also and really Houston's execution on the play. I
Speaker 11: just watched it again for the third time. They didn't
Speaker 11: screen anybody on that play. It was just and normally,
Speaker 11: let's face, Kelvin Sampson's tremendous coach. They execute very well.
Speaker 11: But on that last play, they didn't execute anything. And
Speaker 11: that's why you know, Florida was able to come out
Speaker 11: and get to manual sharp. But if he shot fakes there,
Speaker 11: there's a good chance Clayton runs by him and he
Speaker 11: gets a shot off. Instead, he tried to shoot it
Speaker 11: right away. You know, kid makes a mistake in that situation,
Speaker 11: it happens. But you know, the big thing Dan was
Speaker 11: they had five turnovers in the first thirty eight minutes
Speaker 11: and forty seconds of that game, and the last one
Speaker 11: to twenty they had four turnovers. So the execution in
Speaker 11: the last two minutes was.
Speaker 2: Back as a former coach, and I brought this up,
Speaker 2: and maybe I'm thinking that this is what happens. But
Speaker 2: if I'm going to face you and it's a big game,
Speaker 2: I have to know what do you do? What's your
Speaker 2: go to play with a game on the line, Like
Speaker 2: I have to figure out what do you love to do?
Speaker 2: And every team has a play that they love to
Speaker 2: go to. And I'm wondering, did Houston have a stock
Speaker 2: play that they loved to go to and Florida did
Speaker 2: their research scouting and knew what it was going to be.
Speaker 11: I think Houston has a couple. You know, they ran
Speaker 11: that one for Emmanuel Sharp. They have a couple for LJ. Cryer.
Speaker 11: Those are the guys that he considers they're two closers.
Speaker 11: They also have a play where they can go inside
Speaker 11: to Juwan Roberts. So again I think on that last play,
Speaker 11: because you know the other thing about this day, and
Speaker 11: it's a one day prep, so there's only so much
Speaker 11: you can give those kids in one day to get
Speaker 11: ready for that game. I think that was Obviously Florida
Speaker 11: did a great job. I would say it was more
Speaker 11: a lack of execution on Houston's part than great defense
Speaker 11: on Florida's part. Obviously they played good defense on it,
Speaker 11: but I think Houston really just messed it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 2: I also brought up this was during the regular season,
Speaker 2: maybe it was the SEC tournament, and I said that
Speaker 2: if you win the SEC, it's like winning the national championship.
Speaker 2: And Florida was ready for this because and Duke wasn't.
Speaker 2: But I think that's because of the conference that you
Speaker 2: play in that every single night, Florida knew that they
Speaker 2: were in for a battle. Four of those games that
Speaker 2: they won in the tournament, they trailed by at least
Speaker 2: six points in the second half.
Speaker 4: Duke wasn't in that.
Speaker 2: And maybe this is a leap that I'm making, but
Speaker 2: it did feel like the battle tested team in a
Speaker 2: great conference, and that was the difference for Florida.
Speaker 11: That's not a leap at all, Dan, You're one hundred
Speaker 11: percent right. I mean, Duke's average margin of victory this
Speaker 11: year was twenty one points a game. They were in
Speaker 11: very few close games that came down to the wire.
Speaker 11: These kids, they were a young team now goad to
Speaker 11: the two freshmen Canipple and Flag. They played well, but
Speaker 11: in the last couple of minutes they didn't have the
Speaker 11: same legs as they had throughout the game. Coming up
Speaker 11: against a team that's so tough and so physical like
Speaker 11: Houston was, so I couldn't agree with you more. Them
Speaker 11: not being the pressure cooker of the league that the
Speaker 11: other at the Big twelve and the SEC were definitely
Speaker 11: made a difference to Duke in that game. Without question.
Speaker 2: We had Gino Oriema on yesterday. We had Dan Hurley
Speaker 2: on yesterday. Now they're both facing the transfer portal in
Speaker 2: different ways because Gino doesn't really have to worry about this,
Speaker 2: whereas Dan Hurley goes this is crazy. But then Gino said,
Speaker 2: imagine if you had free agency during Super Bowl week.
Speaker 2: You know that that's what you have with the free
Speaker 2: agency in college basketball, what would be your remedy for
Speaker 2: this moving forward?
Speaker 11: You know, first of all, you got it at least
Speaker 11: started after the tournament, because you know, you have it
Speaker 11: started two weeks ago. You know, the transferport was open,
Speaker 11: so if to have it opened when some people are
Speaker 11: still playing is ridiculous. And you know, I don't know
Speaker 11: long term of where we're going with this, whether you know,
Speaker 11: kids have to be committed for two years, whether there's
Speaker 11: gonna be some kind of a salary caps. This is
Speaker 11: like nuts. And you know, as you know and pro leagues,
Speaker 11: there's excuse me, salary caps contracts. Here is free agency
Speaker 11: every year. I'm glad I'm not in it right now,
Speaker 11: to be honest with you, and you know, to be
Speaker 11: faced with this as a coach, to be worried about
Speaker 11: whether the guys you have are coming back, you know
Speaker 11: that would have to drive you nuts. So I'm you know,
Speaker 11: something's got to give. This is not sustainable.
Speaker 2: I don't think Geno Oriama also brought up. He says, yes,
Speaker 2: I have twelve national titles, but if I was coaching
Speaker 2: in the men's you know, or we had to abide
Speaker 2: by the men's rules. You know, Diana Trossi's won and done,
Speaker 2: Branna Stewart would be one and done.
Speaker 4: Maya Moore would be one and done.
Speaker 2: So if you were going to look at the model
Speaker 2: that women's basketball has and you put that with the men,
Speaker 2: you know, John Wooden had all those players who stayed.
Speaker 2: Coach k for a long period of time, had guys
Speaker 2: who stayed. Who do you think could have benefited the
Speaker 2: most with the talent they had if they had to
Speaker 2: stay or everybody was staying at least three years, maybe
Speaker 2: four years.
Speaker 11: Probably John caliperia Kentucky. I mean, who recruited better freshmen
Speaker 11: that were NBA players than him? If he had those guys.
Speaker 11: If you think about the team that wonted in two
Speaker 11: thousand and twelve or fourteen, I forget that team was
Speaker 11: you know they if those guys come back, He's probably
Speaker 11: go win two or three more with those guys. So
Speaker 11: I think that and that's one of the great somebody
Speaker 11: I'm good friends with you, you know. So somebody asked me,
Speaker 11: is Gino going to retire? I said, why should he retire?
Speaker 11: He's got the best job in the world. He gets
Speaker 11: the best class and he knows they're going to be
Speaker 11: there for four years. Like you know, if that's why
Speaker 11: you feel for John Shire, I'm not saying he's not
Speaker 11: gonna get a great class next year. He already has,
Speaker 11: but he had this generational talent. He's up six points
Speaker 11: with thirty seconds to go.
Speaker 9: And didn't didn't win it.
Speaker 11: That's and I and I have some games and I'm
Speaker 11: taking to my grave. That's one that John Shire is
Speaker 11: going to take.
Speaker 2: To his We always go who won it? Did somebody
Speaker 2: win it? Does somebody lose it? Like in that situation.
Speaker 2: And I know you're in the coaching fraternity there, but
Speaker 2: Duke collapsed. Duke lost that game. Houston took advantage, but
Speaker 2: you I can only take advantage if you allow me
Speaker 2: to take advantage.
Speaker 11: No question, Dan, I mean, that's how you have to
Speaker 11: look at. First of all, they couldn't get the ball
Speaker 11: in balance. They had the same guy taking one guy
Speaker 11: I forget who was taking it out. Sion James was
Speaker 11: taking it out and he was having trouble getting it in.
Speaker 11: They call time out. He's still the guy who's gonna
Speaker 11: break get it in bounds. They changed their formation. They
Speaker 11: put a formation where they had four guys within like
Speaker 11: fifteen feet of each other with four defenders. Yeah, I
Speaker 11: think that they they definitely gave it away. Yes, Shuston
Speaker 11: took advantage. Houston made the plays, they got the offensive
Speaker 11: rebound dunk, yes, yes, but Dupe definitely and and John
Speaker 11: Shire knows that. And that's why it's gonna eat him up,
Speaker 11: just like it's gonna eat up Kelvin Sampson that on
Speaker 11: those last two possessions, they don't get a shot. You know,
Speaker 11: if you all right, we get a shot, we miss,
Speaker 11: we run something good, we get and we missed, we miss. Okay, fine,
Speaker 11: but to not get a shot, that's the thing that
Speaker 11: he shot.
Speaker 4: What's the worst way to lose.
Speaker 11: I mean, the worst way to lose is is That's
Speaker 11: why I felt bad for both Kelvin Sampson and John Shire.
Speaker 11: Those are two really bad ways to lose because you
Speaker 11: felt like it was on you. You had this game
Speaker 11: won both those teams. It's one of you know, I
Speaker 11: had games in my career where with the game ended,
Speaker 11: I said how did we lose that? And I was
Speaker 11: that games where I said how did we win that?
Speaker 13: You know?
Speaker 11: So, I mean it does work both ways. And you look,
Speaker 11: I think both those games Govenzans has to say how
Speaker 11: did we lose? And shosh Shire has to say how
Speaker 11: did we lose? So when you don't execute, don't get
Speaker 11: a chance, and you give things away, you don't get beat.
Speaker 11: Like you said, Duke, they gave it away. They didn't
Speaker 11: get beat. They got beat, but they gave it away.
Speaker 11: They gave the opportunities. It wasn't back and forth. They
Speaker 11: made one more shot than us, we lost.
Speaker 4: That's it, okay.
Speaker 2: But if you're Houston, you don't get a shot off,
Speaker 2: or you're Houston and you don't box out Lorenzo Charles
Speaker 2: against NC State, Which which way is more painful for
Speaker 2: you if you're coaching.
Speaker 11: I think it's more. I think Lorenzo Charles thing was
Speaker 11: a little bit of luck because it's an airball, and
Speaker 11: it's not the easiest thing the box out on an
Speaker 11: air ball. Don't get me wrong, it should have been.
Speaker 11: There should have been a body on him, But that
Speaker 11: was like a fluke. That's one there that you say
Speaker 11: it couldn't hit the rim. If the shot hit the rim,
Speaker 11: that doesn't happen, So you know, you say things like that.
Speaker 11: I think it's worse when you just give it away
Speaker 11: like these guys did.
Speaker 4: Playing in a dome.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I shot hoops and a
Speaker 2: dome and man was hit an optical illusion, like it
Speaker 2: took a while with the depth perception there, and I
Speaker 2: know that that's here to stay because the NCAA wants
Speaker 2: to get sixty seventy thousand in there to make money.
Speaker 2: But that adjustment period, does that still go on for
Speaker 2: these you know, major university players.
Speaker 11: You know, it's not as talked about as much now
Speaker 11: that we've been playing domes for so long, but certainly
Speaker 11: when it first started whatever it was twelve thirteen years ago,
Speaker 11: it was a factor and it gets talked about a
Speaker 11: little bit. I know we talked about it with Kelvin Sans.
Speaker 11: We were at the Indianapolis Regional with him, and you know,
Speaker 11: he just felt like, we got to get these guys
Speaker 11: in here. They're gonna shoot as many as they can.
Speaker 11: But both teams are in the same situation, so you
Speaker 11: try not to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Great to talk to your coach, and we look forward
Speaker 2: to next year so we can have you back on
Speaker 2: to talk college basketball.
Speaker 11: I love being on with you, Dan, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: That's Steve Lapis
