1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we could

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: listen to ESPN's Big Three of l Duncan, Andrea Carter

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: and Cheneo Guomuk talk women's.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Hoops all day.

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Actually we did all weekend long Couch Hoops, Big Three

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Sleep Repeat. It's Monday, March twenty fourth, and on today's show,

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: we'll be unpacking the first weekend of March Madness, celebrating

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: streaks on the court and in the water, and reminding

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: ourselves that old people have dreams too. It's all coming

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: up right after this welcome back slices. Here's what you

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: need to know today to college hoops, where March Madness

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: is officially underway. The opening rounds on NCAA Women's Tournament

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: first six teams hitting the one hundred point mark in

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: one round, the most lopsided victory coming in Yukon's one

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: o three to thirty four win over Arkansas State. The

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: biggest upset of the first round was thanks to number

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: ten Oregon defeating number seven Van Built seventy seven to

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: seventy three in overtime. Oregon actually had a nineteen point

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: lead in the second half, but the Commodores clawed their

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: way back, with Leilani Kappanis tying the game with four

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: seconds left. Oregon ended up getting knocked out on Sunday

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: and the second round, losing to Duke fifty nine to

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: fifty three. We got more free basketball on Sunday, with

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: number five Kansas State and number four Kentucky meeting overtime

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: to find a winner. Kansas State eked out the eighty

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: to seventy nine upset, ending the spectacular college career of

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Kentucky's Georgia Amoor. More on her later in the show.

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: We are recording this before the very last of Sunday's

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: games conclude, so we'll make sure to get you caught

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: up on even more second round action in tomorrow show.

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: More college hoops in Division three. NYU's wind streak continues.

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: Now.

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: We mentioned the Violets last week, and here we are again.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: They won their second straight NCAA title on Saturday, defeating

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: Smith seventy seven to forty nine to cap off another

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: undefeated season.

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: NYU has now.

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: Won sixty two straight games, the eighth longest win streak

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: in NCAA women's basketball across all divisions. Now, it is

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: worth noting that NYU did miss out on one historic mark.

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: The men's team at the school also made the NCAA

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Championship game, so they could have become the first school

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: to win both the women's and men's basketball championships in

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: the same season, but the men's team ended up losing

45
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: in the final to Trinity College sixty four to sixty,

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: losing a four point lead in the final minute and

47
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: a half. Still super impressive to get both teams to

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: the final. To the NWSL, where we already have an

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: early candidate for goal of the Year thanks to Seattle's

50
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Bug, who scored the game winner in the rains

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: two to one win over the North Carolina Courage on Saturday. Now,

52
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Bug's first ever NWSL goal, it was

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: also the defender's second ever shot on goal in the

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: regular season, and it was a butte go and find it.

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: The eighteen year old Bug signed with the Rain last summer. Meantime,

56
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: the rains first goal in that game came from a

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: longtime player, Jess Fishlock, and she also made a little

58
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: NWSL history. So per opt to Sports, Fishlock is now

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: the only player to contribute to at least one goal

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: in all twelve NWSL seasons, and the goal came in

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: her two hundredth career game.

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Hell of a way to celebrate two hundo to college hockey.

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: In Friday's NCAA Women's hockey semi final, Ohio State defeated

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Mike Cornell Big Red four to two and Wisconsin defeated

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota six to two to set up Sunday's NCAA championship game.

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: This marked the third straight time that Wisconsin and Ohio

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: State met in the final, and it was a chaotic conclusion.

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Wisconsin ended up winning four to three in overtime. Alex

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: is going to give us all the deats on that

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: game in Segment two, also got a shout out Wisconsin's

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: Casey O'Brien, who was named this year's recipient of the

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Patti Casmier Award. She's the sixth Badger to receive the

73
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: honor annually given to the top Division one women's hockey player.

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: If you want to hear more about Casey, you can

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: listen to our episode with college hockey writer Nicole Hose

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: from Friday. She broke down a bit of the best

77
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: of her game to the PWHL. The New York Sirens

78
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: might be last in the PWHL standings, but forward Abbey

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Rock was on top of the highlight reel this weekend,

80
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: scoring a Michigan style goal against the Ottawa Charge, the

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: first Michigan goal in PWHL history.

82
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: Now, if you're not.

83
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Familiar, a Michigan goal is when a player is coming

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: from behind the net and uses the toe of their

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: stick blade to drag the puck up and around the

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: goal and tuck it into the net above the goalie shoulder.

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: These are particularly flashy goals every single time, and this

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: was no different.

89
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: We'll link to the video in our show notes.

90
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: To alpine skiing, Lindsay Vaughn recorded the first podium finish

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: of her comeback on Sunday, finishing second in the Super

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: G at the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho.

93
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: Swiss skier Laura Gutebarami won the race one point twenty

94
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: nine seconds ahead of Vaughn. With the finish, the forty

95
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: year old Vaughn absolutely shattered the women's record for oldest

96
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: podium finisher. The previous record holder was thirty four years

97
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: old when she set the mark. Shout out to Vaughan

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: for reminding us yet again that old people can dream.

99
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Too to the w UNBA, where the twenty twenty five

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: schedule is here. The season tips off on May seventeenth

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: with a double header. First up, the New York Liberty

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: will lift their championship banner at Barclays before taking on

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Aces. Then we'll get a battle between

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. Speaking of the Fever,

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Indiana will appear on national television in forty one of

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: its forty four games. Now, we'll talk more schedule, highlights,

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: and venue changes that have been announced to accommodate big

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: crowds for Kaitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Moore in a

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: future episode. In the meantime, we'll just link to the

110
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: schedule in the show notes. To swimming, the University of

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Virginia won its fifth straight Swimming and Diving National championship

112
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: over the weekend. The Cavaliers are now tied with the

113
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: Stanford Cardinal for most consecutive NCAA titles in the sport.

114
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: Stanford won five straight from ninety two to ninety six.

115
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: To Soccer Up North aka the Northern Super League, all

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: six clubs in Canada's league revealed their home jerseys ahead

117
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: of kickoff next month, and just off first glance, my

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: brain is going Ottawa rapid FC. I love that bird

119
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: logo and I feel like the sort of checks and

120
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: criss crosses will look great on the field. And I'm

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: also really digging the logo for the Halifax Tides. The

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: jersey itself's a little boring, but the logo with the

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: waves and the moon and stuff looks pretty rad. Jury's

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: still out on the roses and the collar jersey.

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: Look I don't have to see how that looks on

126
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: the field.

127
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: I think producer Alex was right in saying there was

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: a real missed opportunity that none of these teams have

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: a Canadian tuxedo jersey. Maybe that'll be their alternate. We'll

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: link to the kits in our show notes and you

131
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: could take a look and see what you like. We

132
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: gotta take a quick break when we come back. Weird

133
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Juice and Big Citrus joins me to talk a big

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: weekend of college hoops and an exciting final in college hockey.

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back, y'all. Wow, how blessed are we?

136
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 1: We got a weekend of just women's sports, on women's sports,

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: on women's sports.

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: It made me think about my old breaking t shirt,

139
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: which is you know, seeing a couple of lives at

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: this point the put women's sports on TV.

141
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm like, I need have TVs. Yes, thank

142
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: you that shirt.

143
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: It's like you did the thing with the sports now

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: I need to do the thing with the TV exactly exactly.

145
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: Why did it just sound like Bill Cosby? What's the pudding?

146
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: That's problematic? Okay, my brain might be a little broken.

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: From the big weekend of women's sports, but let's talk

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: a little bit about what we saw. I'm gonna leave

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: it to you, Alex to kick us off with the

150
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: hockey game that I mean, if you want to talk

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: about a good finish, you want to talk about a

152
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: way to close a season and leave people excited for

153
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: next year.

154
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: Man, try to even sum up.

155
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: What happened on Sunday in that NCAA Women's college hockey final,

156
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: which only would have been better obviously if Cornell wasn't

157
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: it in one of course, of.

158
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: Course I'm gonna focus in on the final couple minutes

159
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 3: of the game. So Ohio State was leading three two,

160
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: Wisconsin trying their best to find the equalizer, and Ohio

161
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: State ends up getting a too many players on the

162
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: ice call having to serve a penalty. During that they

163
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: had a violation on the ice where player it appeared

164
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: that she had covered the puck in the crease not allowed,

165
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: so Wisconsin got the choice penalty shot or do you

166
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: want Ohio State to serve a minor penalty? And I

167
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: love this moment. You can see Mark Johnson, Wisconsin's coach,

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: on the bench, his lips are saying who wants it?

169
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: And Kirsten Sims apparently shouted the loudest I.

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: Do gut check time, sphincter time.

171
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly exactly. And then Wisconsin goes on to win

172
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: in ot and just I don't know. This is why

173
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: I think I love hockey. It can be anyone's game

174
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: at any moment. You know.

175
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: Also, if you're not a big hockey fan, I can't

176
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: recommend enough watching games like this where there's no timeouts,

177
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: there's no free throws, you can't slow it down, you

178
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: can't try to like strategize your way out of it.

179
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: The last couple minutes of a hockey game are probably

180
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: the most exciting of any sport. Wow, you can pull

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: a goalie and you know, I mean, it is balls

182
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: to the wall.

183
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: It is ovaries to the I don't even know. Nothing

184
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: rhymes with ovaries. It is fallopian tubes to the groveries.

185
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: No, no, it doesn't work. We're gonna have Hey slices.

186
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: Good game play of the day. We need a women's

187
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: substitute for balls to the wall tits to the turf.

188
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: As you all can hear, Misha is both sick and

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: had a big weekend, so even her cough sounds like

190
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: she's almost dead to.

191
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 4: The He almost took me out with that one.

192
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: You almost too, honestly, the turf or in this case,

193
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: tits to the ice. I mean, it is so fun

194
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: to watch when it comes down to it in hockey games.

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: So congrats to Wisconsin. I'm pulling that one out at

196
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: the end. And I do think that maybe if we

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: can get confirmation alex on someone raising their hand and

198
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: saying I want it and fit fishing that one off,

199
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: that might be a good game. Hall of Fame honoree.

200
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: That's the kind of lure we should all know. Is

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: like title on the line, who wants it, hand raised

202
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: buries it.

203
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: Like yeah, I want to almost survey coaches and see

204
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: who has in that moment called on a player to

205
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: do it, and how many coaches instead ask their players, hey,

206
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: who wants to take it?

207
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: You know?

208
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 3: I think of the nineteen ninety nine Women's World Cup

209
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: Brandy Chestain that very famous moment, and she was originally

210
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be sixth on that list, and she ended

211
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: up getting called up to fifth. Like she didn't raise

212
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: her hand in that situation. She kind of got approached

213
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: and said, hey, can you actually kick it with your

214
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: other foot?

215
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: And she was like, okay, fine, yeah I got this. Yeah.

216
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's the kind of player I think we

217
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: all want to be one that the coach says, Okay,

218
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: the weight of a nation is on your shoulders.

219
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: Who do we think we could trust? Let's go to you,

220
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: not me, not me.

221
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: I've thought about it.

222
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 5: You don't think you want that. You don't want that

223
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: pressure out. That's not your vibe.

224
00:10:59,640 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Ah.

225
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: I feel like I would trust you under pressure.

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if I trust myself with an athletic

227
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: feet under okay, should trust myself with other feets under pressure.

228
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: Trivia final round. It all comes down to this, Oh boy,

229
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: it's just songs. It's not about men's sports, Okay.

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: So hockey gave us an incredible finish. We're still early

231
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: in the women's basketball tournament, but we are getting some incredible,

232
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: incredible games, some incredible performances.

233
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: Some absolute brutal beat down.

234
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

235
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I do have to say though, there is clearly more parody.

236
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: There is more excitement in the early rounds than we've

237
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: seen in years past, and it's only going to get

238
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: better from here for sure. We mentioned in previous shows

239
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: the lowest seed ever to win an NCAA women's basketball

240
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: tournament has been a number three seed. It feels like

241
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: every year we're going to be expanding, though. How many

242
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: teams we believe have a real shot at it this year,

243
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: as we're filling out our brackets is very clear we're

244
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: like not convinced of any one team.

245
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: There's four or.

246
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Five that could reasonably really take it, And after watching

247
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: the first couple of days of games, there is a lot.

248
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: There's a lot.

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna start with my just takeaways from the

250
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: first round. I had a couple of players I wanted

251
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: to shout out, and then I had a couple teams

252
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: slash takeaways from bigger picture that I wanted to shout out.

253
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: So number one just a really cool story Maggie Dugan

254
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: from eighth seed Richmond. She on her birthday absolutely put

255
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: her team on her shoulders to route ninth seed at

256
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech seventy four forty nine.

257
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: That's an eight to nine matchup.

258
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Okay, and Maggie Dugan on her birthday thirty points, fifteen

259
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: rebounds and six.

260
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: Ass that's just stupid.

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: That's birthdays, right.

262
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: But the only thing I feel bad about is like,

263
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: you know how, like you get later in life and

264
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: people are like, what's your all my favorite birthday and

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, it's so hard to pick.

266
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: There's so many. She's just that's it. Oh yeah, immediately

267
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: try to top that immediately.

268
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 5: And no other person, no significant other, no family member,

269
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: no surprise party will ever even come close.

270
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Unless you get married or have a child on your birthday.

271
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: And even then it'd be a real to thirty points,

272
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: fifteen boards and six times in an NCAA tournament game. Okay,

273
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: So Maggie Dugan shouts to that, that just birthday ball, and.

274
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: I love that. Another one that stood out to me

275
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: was Jordan Hobbs.

276
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Jordan Hobbs out of Michigan, Michigan beat Iowa State

277
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: in the first round eighty to seventy four. Jordan ties

278
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: the Michigan single game record for most points in a

279
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: tournament game with twenty eight. That's great, but I think

280
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: bigger than that is that Jordan Hobbs had something like

281
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: seven total points in three or four tournament games before

282
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: this total combined, Like this is someone who was you know,

283
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: gave her best I'm sure didn't amount too much in

284
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: the box score, and then comes out in this game

285
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: and puts up twenty eight, an all time Michigan record

286
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: in a tournament game. I love the idea of stepping

287
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: up on the biggest stage, like we were just talking about,

288
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: put the team on your shoulders, and you're going against

289
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Audie Crooks, You're going against a team that can get

290
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: it done, and she helps lead Michigan to that win. Again,

291
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: just a cool story of stepping up when it matters most.

292
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: And then speaking of that, Georgia Amore Kentucky did not

293
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: look great in that first game. They gave up a

294
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: seventeen point lead in the fourth one by one point

295
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: over Liberty seventy nine to seventy eight, but they would

296
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: not have won that game if not for a thirty

297
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: four point two rebound, eight assist game from Georgia Amore

298
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: career over, we'll get into that after losing in the

299
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: second round, but that first round game was a perfect

300
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: example of a team that depended so much on one player.

301
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Everyone knew it was going to be her, and she

302
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: got it done anyway. And just shouts to Georgia Amore.

303
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: She's not part of a program that we talked about

304
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: as much, but I know a lot of w folks

305
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: are real excited to see her come into the pros.

306
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: The last one I know, I only said three, but

307
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: just Juju, I'm very interested in just how healthy Juju

308
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Watkins is. Obviously, that usc first round game was a

309
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: pretty easy one, even though they didn't look good. She

310
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: had a decent stat line, even though it wasn't impressive

311
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: for her, and she kind of downplayed it at the

312
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: end of the game.

313
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: Oh, no, one wants to hear about my injuries. But

314
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: it was like, you hurt multiple things in one game.

315
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: You tried to wrap up something and you immediately took

316
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: the tape off and threw it back at the benchroom.

317
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: And you're like, no, thank you on this. So I'm

318
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: just I'm keeping an eye on Juju because she's.

319
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Gonna need to be a lot healthier and more effective

320
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: later in the tournament.

321
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's got a last.

322
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: She's got a last like you just talked about Georgia

323
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: Amore Kentucky, and I'll get into, like you said, her

324
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: career ending and ooh drama. But Juju, you know, I

325
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: think I talked about it on the show.

326
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: They put a lot of eggs in the Juju basket.

327
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: The Trojans ud So she's gonna it's a big basket.

328
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: It's a big basket.

329
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: But if there's holes in the basket, the eggs can

330
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: fall through, and that's where this metaphor does. Okay, my

331
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: couple bigger picture takeaways. I'm gonna fully admit it, y'all.

332
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I've been sleeping on Duke. I've been sleeping on Duke.

333
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I'm just gonna admit it. I've

334
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: been stuck in a lot of the teams that have,

335
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, bigger names, bigger stories, like just I don't know,

336
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what I've been doing, but do Duke.

337
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: Good lord. There were a lot of beatdowns in.

338
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: The first round, but eighty six to twenty five and

339
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: not just that they only allowed Lehi to score twenty

340
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: five points.

341
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: They forced thirty turnovers. Oh my gosh, that's mean.

342
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: It is mean to force more turnovers than points score. Okay, Duke,

343
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I was not familiar and now I am ready and congratulations.

344
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's just a beatdown.

345
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of beatdowns, Yukon, it's not that we're surprised, but

346
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: I do have to say.

347
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: That was a machine.

348
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: One hundred percent from two point from the field in

349
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Absolutely like everybody firing on all cylinders,

350
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: that Ukon team. Roger Sherman, who we've mentioned on the

351
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: show before, just a great writer, a great freelance guy,

352
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: now wrote on Blue Sky I could tell that Yukon

353
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: is ready to win national championships again because they have

354
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: recommitted to liquefying their first round opponents into a slurry. Yes,

355
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: that about sums it up like that was ugly in

356
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the best possible way, just absolutely efficient.

357
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: And then the last.

358
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: Takeaway I mentioned it in the Need to Know, but

359
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: this is the first time in history that six teams

360
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: have scored over one hundred points in a single round

361
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: in the women's college basketball Tournament Texas, Yukon, LSU Notre

362
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: Dame Tennessee all one hundred plus points club for the

363
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: first round. This is just a game that's changing. It's

364
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. It's not just parody. It's not

365
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: just superstars, it's not just investment and ni on all

366
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: everything else.

367
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: It's just quality of play. And you are seeing some

368
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: teams just put it together. Yeah.

369
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: That to me, those are the big takeaways from the

370
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: first round. I know we're only part way through the

371
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: second round, meache, but what did you see on Sunday

372
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: that really stood out to you?

373
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: Ugh?

374
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 5: So much, so much their first of all, we already

375
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 5: talked about Georgia Amore and Kentucky number five Kansas State

376
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 5: comes into their house, Kentucky's house and put together what

377
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 5: I think is probably one of the most entertaining games

378
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 5: we've gotten in the entire tournament so far. Eked out

379
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: that win eighty seventy nine did the Kansas State Wildcats

380
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: because it was wild Cats Squared. If I was calling

381
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 5: that game, I would have been so stressed because you.

382
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: Know, also back to back one point games for Kentucky

383
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: fans like.

384
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: How are y'all not okay?

385
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: Not good?

386
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: They probably sound like you right by the way, how

387
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: was that wedding?

388
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: It was in addition to two million merry games and

389
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: a Bacheler app party, annihearsal dinner and the plague.

390
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: It was like are you are you okay? No?

391
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 4: But I will be, but I will be.

392
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: And frankly, it would be worse if everything wasn't positive,

393
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, but yeah. Back to K State in

394
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 5: Kentucky had to go to overtime to get that one decided.

395
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 5: Serena Sundell went absolutely stupid in this game.

396
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 4: Had nineteen points. Cute, you know you expect that from her.

397
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: She had fourteen assists.

398
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 5: Fourteen assists, okay, became the K State all time leader

399
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 5: and assists in that game. And then her classmate to

400
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: my rapoint, Dexter, also went crazy twenty four points. Didn't

401
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 5: hit a single free throw, didn't hit a single two point.

402
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: Just eight threes. Just eight threes.

403
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah casual.

404
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh you said eight like the number and I said

405
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: eight like she ate three?

406
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: I mean both Porkanela's does see yes, including you know,

407
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: she hit a huge one with under a minute to

408
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 5: play that gave K State that eighty point total. But

409
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: every time she caught the ball. It's always fun to

410
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: watch players in that zone, in that mode, you know

411
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: where it just feels like whatever you do is gonna

412
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: be right.

413
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know what

414
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: play all are going to run.

415
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: But as long as you get into to my repoint dexter,

416
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: she's gonna figure something out. Oh yeah, and she also

417
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 5: had six blocks, so you know, casual. But yeah, that

418
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: was a tough way.

419
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: You mentioned it.

420
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: Georgia A.

421
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 5: Moore's career over fifth year senior, spent a lot of

422
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: time all her time in college playing under Kenny Brooks

423
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 5: the first few years at Virginia Tech and then followed

424
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: him to Kentucky. She missed a floater three point two

425
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 5: seconds they give her the ball, missed the floater five

426
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: feet from the basket, the buzzer.

427
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: So it's a tough way to go.

428
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 5: But you mentioned it. She's going to be a draft prospect.

429
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: We're going to probably see her on the international stage

430
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: at some point. And one thing that gave me a

431
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: lot of.

432
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: Respect for her.

433
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 5: Already had a lot of respect for her, but in

434
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: the postgame presser, she was asked why she still had

435
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 5: a positive demeanor in that presser, She's like I'm not

436
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 5: gonna let one shot affect five years.

437
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: And I just thought that was.

438
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: Such a microcosm of the person health. Yeah right, I

439
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 5: could never, Babe, I could, I could?

440
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 4: I couldn't.

441
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: I am still mad about a high school triple jumper

442
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: yet all and I'm not making that up. It still

443
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: tears me up when I think about it. Yeah, so wow,

444
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: that's I have to say. She showed up on one

445
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: of the early draft kind of predictions for the Sky

446
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: and I.

447
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: Was like.

448
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 5: Her and an Angel and Camilla, Oh yeah, I get

449
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 5: some dogs like dogs Michelle.

450
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: They brought up that quote because I was thinking about

451
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: her as soon as that game ended and it came

452
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 3: down to the wire as we discussed, and she immediately

453
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: was shaking hands.

454
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Yep, couldn't be me. Every time I see that, I

455
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: go house way, how I am such an asshole? I

456
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: couldn't never.

457
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: You think she was starting to you in there, could game?

458
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: Could game?

459
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 2: You know? In her head? I don't know.

460
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: I'd have to see who's on that Kansas State roster

461
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: and think about who might be deserving.

462
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but she's just a class act and that kind

463
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 5: of demeanor I think is going to serve her well.

464
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 4: In the pros and moving forward.

465
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: But moving off from that one case, State, like I

466
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: said one that eighty seventy nine going to their first

467
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 5: Sweet sixteen in twenty three years, amazing. You mentioned Duke

468
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 5: number two, Duke number ten. Oregon also extremely intense the

469
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 5: second round matchup, and Duke was losing twenty eight twenty

470
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 5: three and a half at Cameron Indoor Stadium, their home stadium,

471
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: and I just felt like they started to kind of

472
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 5: crumble under the pressure.

473
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: I was having reservations.

474
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 5: I've had frankly reservations about Duke for the last few seasons.

475
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 5: I love some Kroen losson, but it just felt like

476
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 5: offensively they couldn't really put things together. But in the

477
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 5: second half of that game against Oregon, I got two

478
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: words for you, Ashlyn Jackson. She went nuclear, She exploded,

479
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 5: started knocking down threes, ended up with twenty points in

480
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: that one.

481
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: And really had to carry the load without a piece.

482
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: That's really huge for Duke and Toby Fournier, their freshman

483
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 5: leading scorer acc Rookie of the Year.

484
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: She sat with illness, which is probably so tough. Also

485
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: at this point in the season, I mean.

486
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: That's gotta be coming out both ends kind of illness,

487
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Like, I'm sorry, but

488
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, it's gotta be real. It's gotta be real.

489
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: No tummy ache, no headache. Like if you can't even

490
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: play and your.

491
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 5: Coach is Carol lost it because you know, Caro was like, girl,

492
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: are you sure?

493
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 4: Are you positive?

494
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: This could be your flu game? Exactly? No, I'm pooping

495
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: my pants.

496
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: Triggered you literally, so sidebar. I had a high school

497
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: coach loved her to death. My freshman year we went

498
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: to the state tournament. I got the flu, and she said,

499
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 5: this could be your flu game. Spoiler, it wasn't my

500
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 5: flu game. It wasn't my flu game. But yeah, Toby

501
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 5: had to be hurting. But Ashton, she stepped out. She

502
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 5: stepped up.

503
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: We love that though, Like I don't want anyone season

504
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: to end because of sickness or injury or otherwise. Like

505
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: it hurts enough when it's fair and square, so like

506
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: you don't want that team.

507
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: To go out because Toby can't play, so right, Yeah.

508
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: Her teammates they stepped up. I mean mentioned Ashland. She

509
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 5: went five for nine from three and they got a

510
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 5: fifty nine to fifty three dub their second straight Sweet

511
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: sixteen appearance, and I'm just so happy for Carolason. Folks

512
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 5: out there, you're tuned in with us. I'm sure you

513
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 5: see the karro Losson quotes everywhere. She's just such a motivator,

514
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: such a great spirit. You can tell she's from the

515
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: pat Summit tree, right, She's just one of those people

516
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 5: you could listen to forever. She's also from Virginia.

517
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: Just throwing that outbum Oh okay, just yeah, throw that

518
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: out there.

519
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 5: But the thing that I'm really hoping is is on

520
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 5: Monday night, North Carolina plays West Virginia. If they beat

521
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: West Virginia, We're gonna get our first Duke Carolina matchup

522
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 5: in NCAA's history. I want that so bad. So I'm

523
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 5: just putting that energy out there. But Duke took care

524
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: of business.

525
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, for all the history on the men's

526
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: side of that rivalry, like to have that on the

527
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: women's side and you get to build on the existing hatred.

528
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: We love some spiciness piggy back in the women's game.

529
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: Piggyback hatred like just Adjason tatrid it's not you, but

530
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: you're close enough.

531
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: We love that.

532
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: Everybody who knows men's basketball history knows that rivalry goes deep,

533
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: deep deep. My friend Jack went to UNC, is a

534
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: huge Tar Heels fan, and Coach K, the longtime legendary

535
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: coach of Duke, announced his retirement and during that last

536
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: season it turned out that his final game was a

537
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: Duke loss to UNC, and Jack had to be extra

538
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: about it and not just celebrate and say good job

539
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: on your forty plus years. He hired a freaking second

540
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: line in New Orleans, wow funeral style to carry photos

541
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: and sign commemorating and memorializing coach K's death.

542
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: He was not dad, y'all.

543
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: His team died and his career died, and my friend

544
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: Jack paid for a full street parade second line with

545
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: like musicians and parade signs to go down the streets

546
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: of New Orleans. I guess that must have been where

547
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: the games were happening that year, memorializing the legendary coach K.

548
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: Like that is committed to the bit, committed to the bit.

549
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: That is a rivalry, y'all, And if we could bring

550
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: that to the women's side, I'm here for it.

551
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: Good call. Yeah, what else did you see in the

552
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: second round? Yeah?

553
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 5: I mean the other thing I saw just a great day.

554
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 5: Sunday was a great day for number five seeds. Number

555
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 5: five ole Miss advancing to its second Sweet Sixteen in

556
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 5: the last three years with a win over number four

557
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: Baylor at Baylor. And I'm pretty sure, Sarah and Alex,

558
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 5: if you look up defense in the dictionary, you're gonna

559
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 5: get a picture of coach yo Let McEwen and ole

560
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: Miss because.

561
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean, persistently one of the best. We just talked

562
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 4: about Duke.

563
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: They're really good defensively too, But to me, Ole Miss

564
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: one of the best defensive teams, if not the best

565
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 5: in the nation top to bottom. It's crazy because they're

566
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: pretty much positionless on that end of the floor. Anybody

567
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 5: can guard anybody, and that was just on full display.

568
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: Baylor played super hard. I don't want to discredit them,

569
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 5: but it just feels like this is ole Miss's time right.

570
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: A couple of seasons ago they upset number one Stanford

571
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 5: as an eight seed on route to a Sweet sixteen,

572
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 5: and then last season also had a really good showing,

573
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: but they didn't have one of their key players. KK

574
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: Dean's who I think is like yo Let McEwan, number two,

575
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: She's literally her one just has the eligibility.

576
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: Her principles in Karna.

577
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, and she was out last season with a

578
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: season ending injury, so this season they've got her. She

579
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 5: dropped thirteen in that game against Baylor. Also got fifth

580
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: year senior Madison Scott, who I just got to give

581
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 5: a huge shout out to, had fourteen in the Baylor

582
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 5: game and has just grown and matured so much in

583
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 5: the freshman. I don't know if y'all heard of Sarah

584
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: gew but she's gonna be one of those players we

585
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: keep on our radar for the next three years. Just

586
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 5: the freshman, like I said, but led the team, had

587
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: sixteen points, excellent individual defense, and those three have kind

588
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: of led their charge and they're not going down without

589
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: a knockdown, drag out, which is interesting because they've got

590
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 5: either number one UCLA or number eight Richmond in the

591
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 5: next round. So it's gonna be fun to watch Ole

592
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 5: Miss keep tabs, keep tabs on them.

593
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: And we're just getting started. Oh my gosh, I have

594
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: news for y'all. We got more games today. It didn't

595
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: end just because the weekend ended.

596
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 1: This is the least Sunday Scaries of probably every Sunday

597
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: of the year. What is that going right into today?

598
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: Only the men had Sunday scaries. So if you're in

599
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: the office today and somebody who's like, oh, how are

600
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: we gonna get through today with basketball?

601
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: Wake up, bitch, that's the sexist alert.

602
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: That's right.

603
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: These games made me spicy.

604
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: I once got in trouble because on a Monday morning

605
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: meeting like that, somebody was like, how is everyone's bracket doing?

Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: And I got called out.
