WEBVTT - Tits to the Turf with Big Citrus

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we could

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>listen to ESPN's Big Three of l Duncan, Andrea Carter

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and Cheneo Guomuk talk women's.

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Hoops all day.

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually we did all weekend long Couch Hoops, Big Three

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Sleep Repeat. It's Monday, March twenty fourth, and on today's show,

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll be unpacking the first weekend of March Madness, celebrating

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>streaks on the court and in the water, and reminding

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>ourselves that old people have dreams too. It's all coming

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>up right after this welcome back slices. Here's what you

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>need to know today to college hoops, where March Madness

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>is officially underway. The opening rounds on NCAA Women's Tournament

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>first six teams hitting the one hundred point mark in

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>one round, the most lopsided victory coming in Yukon's one

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>o three to thirty four win over Arkansas State. The

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>biggest upset of the first round was thanks to number

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>ten Oregon defeating number seven Van Built seventy seven to

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>seventy three in overtime. Oregon actually had a nineteen point

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>lead in the second half, but the Commodores clawed their

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>way back, with Leilani Kappanis tying the game with four

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>seconds left. Oregon ended up getting knocked out on Sunday

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and the second round, losing to Duke fifty nine to

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty three. We got more free basketball on Sunday, with

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>number five Kansas State and number four Kentucky meeting overtime

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to find a winner. Kansas State eked out the eighty

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to seventy nine upset, ending the spectacular college career of

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky's Georgia Amoor. More on her later in the show.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>We are recording this before the very last of Sunday's

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>games conclude, so we'll make sure to get you caught

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.759
<v Speaker 1>up on even more second round action in tomorrow show.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>More college hoops in Division three. NYU's wind streak continues.

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned the Violets last week, and here we are again.

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>They won their second straight NCAA title on Saturday, defeating

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Smith seventy seven to forty nine to cap off another

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>undefeated season.

0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>NYU has now.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Won sixty two straight games, the eighth longest win streak

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>in NCAA women's basketball across all divisions. Now, it is

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>worth noting that NYU did miss out on one historic mark.

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>The men's team at the school also made the NCAA

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Championship game, so they could have become the first school

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to win both the women's and men's basketball championships in

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the same season, but the men's team ended up losing

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in the final to Trinity College sixty four to sixty,

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>losing a four point lead in the final minute and

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>a half. Still super impressive to get both teams to

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the final. To the NWSL, where we already have an

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>early candidate for goal of the Year thanks to Seattle's

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Bug, who scored the game winner in the rains

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>two to one win over the North Carolina Courage on Saturday. Now,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just Bug's first ever NWSL goal, it was

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>also the defender's second ever shot on goal in the

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>regular season, and it was a butte go and find it.

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>The eighteen year old Bug signed with the Rain last summer. Meantime,

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the rains first goal in that game came from a

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>longtime player, Jess Fishlock, and she also made a little

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>NWSL history. So per opt to Sports, Fishlock is now

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the only player to contribute to at least one goal

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>in all twelve NWSL seasons, and the goal came in

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>her two hundredth career game.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Hell of a way to celebrate two hundo to college hockey.

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>In Friday's NCAA Women's hockey semi final, Ohio State defeated

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Mike Cornell Big Red four to two and Wisconsin defeated

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota six to two to set up Sunday's NCAA championship game.

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>This marked the third straight time that Wisconsin and Ohio

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>State met in the final, and it was a chaotic conclusion.

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin ended up winning four to three in overtime. Alex

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to give us all the deats on that

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>game in Segment two, also got a shout out Wisconsin's

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Casey O'Brien, who was named this year's recipient of the

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Patti Casmier Award. She's the sixth Badger to receive the

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>honor annually given to the top Division one women's hockey player.

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>If you want to hear more about Casey, you can

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>listen to our episode with college hockey writer Nicole Hose

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>from Friday. She broke down a bit of the best

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>of her game to the PWHL. The New York Sirens

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>might be last in the PWHL standings, but forward Abbey

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Rock was on top of the highlight reel this weekend,

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>scoring a Michigan style goal against the Ottawa Charge, the

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>first Michigan goal in PWHL history.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you're not.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Familiar, a Michigan goal is when a player is coming

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 1>from behind the net and uses the toe of their

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>stick blade to drag the puck up and around the

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>goal and tuck it into the net above the goalie shoulder.

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>These are particularly flashy goals every single time, and this

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was no different.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll link to the video in our show notes.

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.799
<v Speaker 1>To alpine skiing, Lindsay Vaughn recorded the first podium finish

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of her comeback on Sunday, finishing second in the Super

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>G at the World Cup Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Swiss skier Laura Gutebarami won the race one point twenty

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>nine seconds ahead of Vaughn. With the finish, the forty

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>year old Vaughn absolutely shattered the women's record for oldest

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>podium finisher. The previous record holder was thirty four years

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 1>old when she set the mark. Shout out to Vaughan

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 1>for reminding us yet again that old people can dream.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Too to the w UNBA, where the twenty twenty five

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>schedule is here. The season tips off on May seventeenth

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 1>with a double header. First up, the New York Liberty

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 1>will lift their championship banner at Barclays before taking on

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the Las Vegas Aces. Then we'll get a battle between

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever. Speaking of the Fever,

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Indiana will appear on national television in forty one of

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>its forty four games. Now, we'll talk more schedule, highlights,

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and venue changes that have been announced to accommodate big

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>crowds for Kaitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Moore in a

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>future episode. In the meantime, we'll just link to the

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>schedule in the show notes. To swimming, the University of

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Virginia won its fifth straight Swimming and Diving National championship

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. The Cavaliers are now tied with the

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Stanford Cardinal for most consecutive NCAA titles in the sport.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Stanford won five straight from ninety two to ninety six.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>To Soccer Up North aka the Northern Super League, all

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>six clubs in Canada's league revealed their home jerseys ahead

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of kickoff next month, and just off first glance, my

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>brain is going Ottawa rapid FC. I love that bird

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>logo and I feel like the sort of checks and

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>criss crosses will look great on the field. And I'm

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>also really digging the logo for the Halifax Tides. The

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>jersey itself's a little boring, but the logo with the

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>waves and the moon and stuff looks pretty rad. Jury's

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>still out on the roses and the collar jersey.

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Look I don't have to see how that looks on

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>the field.

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I think producer Alex was right in saying there was

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a real missed opportunity that none of these teams have

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>a Canadian tuxedo jersey. Maybe that'll be their alternate. We'll

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>link to the kits in our show notes and you

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 1>could take a look and see what you like. We

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta take a quick break when we come back. Weird

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Juice and Big Citrus joins me to talk a big

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>weekend of college hoops and an exciting final in college hockey.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, y'all. Wow, how blessed are we?

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.559
<v Speaker 1>We got a weekend of just women's sports, on women's sports,

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>on women's sports.

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 3>It made me think about my old breaking t shirt,

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 3>which is you know, seeing a couple of lives at

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 3>this point the put women's sports on TV.

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and I'm like, I need have TVs. Yes, thank

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>you that shirt.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like you did the thing with the sports now

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I need to do the thing with the TV exactly exactly.

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Why did it just sound like Bill Cosby? What's the pudding?

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>That's problematic? Okay, my brain might be a little broken.

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>From the big weekend of women's sports, but let's talk

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about what we saw. I'm gonna leave

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it to you, Alex to kick us off with the

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 1>hockey game that I mean, if you want to talk

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>about a good finish, you want to talk about a

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>way to close a season and leave people excited for

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>next year.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Man, try to even sum up.

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>What happened on Sunday in that NCAA Women's college hockey final,

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>which only would have been better obviously if Cornell wasn't

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it in one of course, of.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Course I'm gonna focus in on the final couple minutes

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 3>of the game. So Ohio State was leading three two,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 3>Wisconsin trying their best to find the equalizer, and Ohio

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 3>State ends up getting a too many players on the

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 3>ice call having to serve a penalty. During that they

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 3>had a violation on the ice where player it appeared

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>that she had covered the puck in the crease not allowed,

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 3>so Wisconsin got the choice penalty shot or do you

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 3>want Ohio State to serve a minor penalty? And I

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 3>love this moment. You can see Mark Johnson, Wisconsin's coach,

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 3>on the bench, his lips are saying who wants it?

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 3>And Kirsten Sims apparently shouted the loudest I.

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Do gut check time, sphincter time.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Exactly exactly exactly. And then Wisconsin goes on to win

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 3>in ot and just I don't know. This is why

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I think I love hockey. It can be anyone's game

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 3>at any moment. You know.

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Also, if you're not a big hockey fan, I can't

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>recommend enough watching games like this where there's no timeouts,

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no free throws, you can't slow it down, you

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>can't try to like strategize your way out of it.

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>The last couple minutes of a hockey game are probably

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the most exciting of any sport. Wow, you can pull

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a goalie and you know, I mean, it is balls

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>to the wall.

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>It is ovaries to the I don't even know. Nothing

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 2>rhymes with ovaries. It is fallopian tubes to the groveries.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>No, no, it doesn't work. We're gonna have Hey slices.

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Good game play of the day. We need a women's

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 1>substitute for balls to the wall tits to the turf.

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>As you all can hear, Misha is both sick and

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>had a big weekend, so even her cough sounds like

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.439
<v Speaker 1>she's almost dead to.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 4>The He almost took me out with that one.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 1>You almost too, honestly, the turf or in this case,

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>tits to the ice. I mean, it is so fun

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>to watch when it comes down to it in hockey games.

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>So congrats to Wisconsin. I'm pulling that one out at

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the end. And I do think that maybe if we

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>can get confirmation alex on someone raising their hand and

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>saying I want it and fit fishing that one off,

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that might be a good game. Hall of Fame honoree.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the kind of lure we should all know. Is

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>like title on the line, who wants it, hand raised

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>buries it.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Like yeah, I want to almost survey coaches and see

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 3>who has in that moment called on a player to

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 3>do it, and how many coaches instead ask their players, hey,

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 3>who wants to take it?

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 3>I think of the nineteen ninety nine Women's World Cup

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Brandy Chestain that very famous moment, and she was originally

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be sixth on that list, and she ended

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>up getting called up to fifth. Like she didn't raise

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 3>her hand in that situation. She kind of got approached

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 3>and said, hey, can you actually kick it with your

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 3>other foot?

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>And she was like, okay, fine, yeah I got this. Yeah.

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the kind of player I think we

0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>all want to be one that the coach says, Okay,

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the weight of a nation is on your shoulders.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Who do we think we could trust? Let's go to you,

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>not me, not me.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I've thought about it.

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 5>You don't think you want that. You don't want that

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 5>pressure out. That's not your vibe.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Ah.

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I would trust you under pressure.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I trust myself with an athletic

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 3>feet under okay, should trust myself with other feets under pressure.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Trivia final round. It all comes down to this, Oh boy,

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>it's just songs. It's not about men's sports, Okay.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So hockey gave us an incredible finish. We're still early

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.080
<v Speaker 1>in the women's basketball tournament, but we are getting some incredible,

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>incredible games, some incredible performances.

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Some absolute brutal beat down.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I do have to say though, there is clearly more parody.

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>There is more excitement in the early rounds than we've

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>seen in years past, and it's only going to get

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.560
<v Speaker 1>better from here for sure. We mentioned in previous shows

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the lowest seed ever to win an NCAA women's basketball

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 1>tournament has been a number three seed. It feels like

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>every year we're going to be expanding, though. How many

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 1>teams we believe have a real shot at it this year,

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>as we're filling out our brackets is very clear we're

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>like not convinced of any one team.

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 2>There's four or.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Five that could reasonably really take it, And after watching

0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the first couple of days of games, there is a lot.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot.

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm gonna start with my just takeaways from the

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>first round. I had a couple of players I wanted

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to shout out, and then I had a couple teams

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.439
<v Speaker 1>slash takeaways from bigger picture that I wanted to shout out.

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>So number one just a really cool story Maggie Dugan

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>from eighth seed Richmond. She on her birthday absolutely put

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>her team on her shoulders to route ninth seed at

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech seventy four forty nine.

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>That's an eight to nine matchup.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and Maggie Dugan on her birthday thirty points, fifteen

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and six.

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Ass that's just stupid.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 4>That's birthdays, right.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>But the only thing I feel bad about is like,

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you know how, like you get later in life and

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>people are like, what's your all my favorite birthday and

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, it's so hard to pick.

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>There's so many. She's just that's it. Oh yeah, immediately

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>try to top that immediately.

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 5>And no other person, no significant other, no family member,

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 5>no surprise party will ever even come close.

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Unless you get married or have a child on your birthday.

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>And even then it'd be a real to thirty points,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>fifteen boards and six times in an NCAA tournament game. Okay,

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 1>So Maggie Dugan shouts to that, that just birthday ball, and.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Another one that stood out to me

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>was Jordan Hobbs.

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Jordan Hobbs out of Michigan, Michigan beat Iowa State

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 1>in the first round eighty to seventy four. Jordan ties

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the Michigan single game record for most points in a

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>tournament game with twenty eight. That's great, but I think

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 1>bigger than that is that Jordan Hobbs had something like

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.959
<v Speaker 1>seven total points in three or four tournament games before

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>this total combined, Like this is someone who was you know,

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>gave her best I'm sure didn't amount too much in

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.719
<v Speaker 1>the box score, and then comes out in this game

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and puts up twenty eight, an all time Michigan record

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in a tournament game. I love the idea of stepping

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>up on the biggest stage, like we were just talking about,

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>put the team on your shoulders, and you're going against

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Audie Crooks, You're going against a team that can get

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it done, and she helps lead Michigan to that win. Again,

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 1>just a cool story of stepping up when it matters most.

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 1>And then speaking of that, Georgia Amore Kentucky did not

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>look great in that first game. They gave up a

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen point lead in the fourth one by one point

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>over Liberty seventy nine to seventy eight, but they would

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>not have won that game if not for a thirty

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>four point two rebound, eight assist game from Georgia Amore

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>career over, we'll get into that after losing in the

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>second round, but that first round game was a perfect

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>example of a team that depended so much on one player.

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knew it was going to be her, and she

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>got it done anyway. And just shouts to Georgia Amore.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>She's not part of a program that we talked about

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>as much, but I know a lot of w folks

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>are real excited to see her come into the pros.

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>The last one I know, I only said three, but

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>just Juju, I'm very interested in just how healthy Juju

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Watkins is. Obviously, that usc first round game was a

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty easy one, even though they didn't look good. She

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 1>had a decent stat line, even though it wasn't impressive

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>for her, and she kind of downplayed it at the

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>end of the game.

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, no, one wants to hear about my injuries. But

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>it was like, you hurt multiple things in one game.

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>You tried to wrap up something and you immediately took

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the tape off and threw it back at the benchroom.

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>And you're like, no, thank you on this. So I'm

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 2>just I'm keeping an eye on Juju because she's.

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Gonna need to be a lot healthier and more effective

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 1>later in the tournament.

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, she's got a last.

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 5>She's got a last like you just talked about Georgia

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 5>Amore Kentucky, and I'll get into, like you said, her

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 5>career ending and ooh drama. But Juju, you know, I

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 5>think I talked about it on the show.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 4>They put a lot of eggs in the Juju basket.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 2>The Trojans ud So she's gonna it's a big basket.

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a big basket.

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>But if there's holes in the basket, the eggs can

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>fall through, and that's where this metaphor does. Okay, my

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>couple bigger picture takeaways. I'm gonna fully admit it, y'all.

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I've been sleeping on Duke. I've been sleeping on Duke.

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, like, I'm just gonna admit it. I've

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>been stuck in a lot of the teams that have,

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, bigger names, bigger stories, like just I don't know,

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I've been doing, but do Duke.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Good lord. There were a lot of beatdowns in.

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:10.200
<v Speaker 1>The first round, but eighty six to twenty five and

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>not just that they only allowed Lehi to score twenty

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>five points.

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 2>They forced thirty turnovers. Oh my gosh, that's mean.

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>It is mean to force more turnovers than points score. Okay, Duke,

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I was not familiar and now I am ready and congratulations.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's just a beatdown.

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of beatdowns, Yukon, it's not that we're surprised, but

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I do have to say.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>That was a machine.

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent from two point from the field in

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter. Absolutely like everybody firing on all cylinders,

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that Ukon team. Roger Sherman, who we've mentioned on the

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>show before, just a great writer, a great freelance guy,

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>now wrote on Blue Sky I could tell that Yukon

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 1>is ready to win national championships again because they have

0:16:54.680 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>recommitted to liquefying their first round opponents into a slurry. Yes,

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that about sums it up like that was ugly in

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the best possible way, just absolutely efficient.

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>And then the last.

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Takeaway I mentioned it in the Need to Know, but

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the first time in history that six teams

0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>have scored over one hundred points in a single round

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>in the women's college basketball Tournament Texas, Yukon, LSU Notre

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Dame Tennessee all one hundred plus points club for the

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>first round. This is just a game that's changing. It's

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.959
<v Speaker 1>really fun to watch. It's not just parody. It's not

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>just superstars, it's not just investment and ni on all

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>everything else.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just quality of play. And you are seeing some

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 2>teams just put it together. Yeah.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>That to me, those are the big takeaways from the

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>first round. I know we're only part way through the

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>second round, meache, but what did you see on Sunday

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that really stood out to you?

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Ugh?

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 5>So much, so much their first of all, we already

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:51.200
<v Speaker 5>talked about Georgia Amore and Kentucky number five Kansas State

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 5>comes into their house, Kentucky's house and put together what

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 5>I think is probably one of the most entertaining games

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 5>we've gotten in the entire tournament so far. Eked out

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 5>that win eighty seventy nine did the Kansas State Wildcats

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 5>because it was wild Cats Squared. If I was calling

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 5>that game, I would have been so stressed because you.

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Know, also back to back one point games for Kentucky

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>fans like.

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 2>How are y'all not okay?

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Not good?

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.640
<v Speaker 2>They probably sound like you right by the way, how

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>was that wedding?

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>It was in addition to two million merry games and

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a Bacheler app party, annihearsal dinner and the plague.

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>It was like are you are you okay? No?

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 4>But I will be, but I will be.

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 5>And frankly, it would be worse if everything wasn't positive,

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, yeah, but yeah. Back to K State in

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Kentucky had to go to overtime to get that one decided.

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:47.120
<v Speaker 5>Serena Sundell went absolutely stupid in this game.

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.719
<v Speaker 4>Had nineteen points. Cute, you know you expect that from her.

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 2>She had fourteen assists.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Fourteen assists, okay, became the K State all time leader

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.159
<v Speaker 5>and assists in that game. And then her classmate to

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 5>my rapoint, Dexter, also went crazy twenty four points. Didn't

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 5>hit a single free throw, didn't hit a single two point.

0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Just eight threes. Just eight threes.

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah casual.

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh you said eight like the number and I said

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.119
<v Speaker 2>eight like she ate three?

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean both Porkanela's does see yes, including you know,

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 5>she hit a huge one with under a minute to

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 5>play that gave K State that eighty point total. But

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 5>every time she caught the ball. It's always fun to

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 5>watch players in that zone, in that mode, you know

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 5>where it just feels like whatever you do is gonna

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:31.240
<v Speaker 5>be right.

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know what

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:33.880
<v Speaker 4>play all are going to run.

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 5>But as long as you get into to my repoint dexter,

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 5>she's gonna figure something out. Oh yeah, and she also

0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 5>had six blocks, so you know, casual. But yeah, that

0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 5>was a tough way.

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned it.

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Georgia A.

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.919
<v Speaker 5>Moore's career over fifth year senior, spent a lot of

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 5>time all her time in college playing under Kenny Brooks

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 5>the first few years at Virginia Tech and then followed

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 5>him to Kentucky. She missed a floater three point two

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 5>seconds they give her the ball, missed the floater five

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 5>feet from the basket, the buzzer.

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 4>So it's a tough way to go.

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 5>But you mentioned it. She's going to be a draft prospect.

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 5>We're going to probably see her on the international stage

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 5>at some point. And one thing that gave me a

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 5>lot of.

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 4>Respect for her.

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 5>Already had a lot of respect for her, but in

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 5>the postgame presser, she was asked why she still had

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 5>a positive demeanor in that presser, She's like I'm not

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 5>gonna let one shot affect five years.

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 4>And I just thought that was.

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Such a microcosm of the person health. Yeah right, I

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 5>could never, Babe, I could, I could?

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't.

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I am still mad about a high school triple jumper

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>yet all and I'm not making that up. It still

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>tears me up when I think about it. Yeah, so wow,

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that's I have to say. She showed up on one

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of the early draft kind of predictions for the Sky

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and I.

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Was like.

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.120
<v Speaker 5>Her and an Angel and Camilla, Oh yeah, I get

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 5>some dogs like dogs Michelle.

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 3>They brought up that quote because I was thinking about

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 3>her as soon as that game ended and it came

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.919
<v Speaker 3>down to the wire as we discussed, and she immediately

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 3>was shaking hands.

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Yep, couldn't be me. Every time I see that, I

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>go house way, how I am such an asshole? I

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:07.640
<v Speaker 2>couldn't never.

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 3>You think she was starting to you in there, could game?

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 4>Could game?

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.199
<v Speaker 2>You know? In her head? I don't know.

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to see who's on that Kansas State roster

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and think about who might be deserving.

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but she's just a class act and that kind

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 5>of demeanor I think is going to serve her well.

0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 4>In the pros and moving forward.

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 5>But moving off from that one case, State, like I

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 5>said one that eighty seventy nine going to their first

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 5>Sweet sixteen in twenty three years, amazing. You mentioned Duke

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 5>number two, Duke number ten. Oregon also extremely intense the

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 5>second round matchup, and Duke was losing twenty eight twenty

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 5>three and a half at Cameron Indoor Stadium, their home stadium,

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 5>and I just felt like they started to kind of

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 5>crumble under the pressure.

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 4>I was having reservations.

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 5>I've had frankly reservations about Duke for the last few seasons.

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 5>I love some Kroen losson, but it just felt like

0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 5>offensively they couldn't really put things together. But in the

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 5>second half of that game against Oregon, I got two

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 5>words for you, Ashlyn Jackson. She went nuclear, She exploded,

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 5>started knocking down threes, ended up with twenty points in

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 5>that one.

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 4>And really had to carry the load without a piece.

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.000
<v Speaker 5>That's really huge for Duke and Toby Fournier, their freshman

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 5>leading scorer acc Rookie of the Year.

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 4>She sat with illness, which is probably so tough. Also

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 4>at this point in the season, I mean.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That's gotta be coming out both ends kind of illness,

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm talking about. Like, I'm sorry, but

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 1>NCAA tournament, it's gotta be real. It's gotta be real.

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>No tummy ache, no headache. Like if you can't even

0:22:38.400 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>play and your.

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Coach is Carol lost it because you know, Caro was like, girl,

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 5>are you sure?

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Are you positive?

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 2>This could be your flu game? Exactly? No, I'm pooping

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 2>my pants.

0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:51.480
<v Speaker 5>Triggered you literally, so sidebar. I had a high school

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 5>coach loved her to death. My freshman year we went

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 5>to the state tournament. I got the flu, and she said,

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 5>this could be your flu game. Spoiler, it wasn't my

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 5>flu game. It wasn't my flu game. But yeah, Toby

0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:05.439
<v Speaker 5>had to be hurting. But Ashton, she stepped out. She

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 5>stepped up.

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.919
<v Speaker 1>We love that though, Like I don't want anyone season

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.199
<v Speaker 1>to end because of sickness or injury or otherwise. Like

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>it hurts enough when it's fair and square, so like

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't want that team.

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 2>To go out because Toby can't play, so right, Yeah.

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Her teammates they stepped up. I mean mentioned Ashland. She

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 5>went five for nine from three and they got a

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 5>fifty nine to fifty three dub their second straight Sweet

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 5>sixteen appearance, and I'm just so happy for Carolason. Folks

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.199
<v Speaker 5>out there, you're tuned in with us. I'm sure you

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 5>see the karro Losson quotes everywhere. She's just such a motivator,

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 5>such a great spirit. You can tell she's from the

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 5>pat Summit tree, right, She's just one of those people

0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 5>you could listen to forever. She's also from Virginia.

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Just throwing that outbum Oh okay, just yeah, throw that

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>out there.

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 5>But the thing that I'm really hoping is is on

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Monday night, North Carolina plays West Virginia. If they beat

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 5>West Virginia, We're gonna get our first Duke Carolina matchup

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 5>in NCAA's history. I want that so bad. So I'm

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.119
<v Speaker 5>just putting that energy out there. But Duke took care

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 5>of business.

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, for all the history on the men's

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>side of that rivalry, like to have that on the

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 1>women's side and you get to build on the existing hatred.

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 5>We love some spiciness piggy back in the women's game.

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Piggyback hatred like just Adjason tatrid it's not you, but

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you're close enough.

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>We love that.

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody who knows men's basketball history knows that rivalry goes deep,

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.719
<v Speaker 1>deep deep. My friend Jack went to UNC, is a

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:38.160
<v Speaker 1>huge Tar Heels fan, and Coach K, the longtime legendary

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.240
<v Speaker 1>coach of Duke, announced his retirement and during that last

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 1>season it turned out that his final game was a

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Duke loss to UNC, and Jack had to be extra

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 1>about it and not just celebrate and say good job

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on your forty plus years. He hired a freaking second

0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>line in New Orleans, wow funeral style to carry photos

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and sign commemorating and memorializing coach K's death.

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 2>He was not dad, y'all.

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>His team died and his career died, and my friend

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Jack paid for a full street parade second line with

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>like musicians and parade signs to go down the streets

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of New Orleans. I guess that must have been where

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the games were happening that year, memorializing the legendary coach K.

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Like that is committed to the bit, committed to the bit.

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>That is a rivalry, y'all, And if we could bring

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that to the women's side, I'm here for it.

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Good call. Yeah, what else did you see in the

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 2>second round? Yeah?

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean the other thing I saw just a great day.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 5>Sunday was a great day for number five seeds. Number

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 5>five ole Miss advancing to its second Sweet Sixteen in

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 5>the last three years with a win over number four

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Baylor at Baylor. And I'm pretty sure, Sarah and Alex,

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:53.359
<v Speaker 5>if you look up defense in the dictionary, you're gonna

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.719
<v Speaker 5>get a picture of coach yo Let McEwen and ole

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 5>Miss because.

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, persistently one of the best. We just talked

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:02.440
<v Speaker 4>about Duke.

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 5>They're really good defensively too, But to me, Ole Miss

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 5>one of the best defensive teams, if not the best

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 5>in the nation top to bottom. It's crazy because they're

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 5>pretty much positionless on that end of the floor. Anybody

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 5>can guard anybody, and that was just on full display.

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 5>Baylor played super hard. I don't want to discredit them,

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.199
<v Speaker 5>but it just feels like this is ole Miss's time right.

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.160
<v Speaker 5>A couple of seasons ago they upset number one Stanford

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 5>as an eight seed on route to a Sweet sixteen,

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 5>and then last season also had a really good showing,

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 5>but they didn't have one of their key players. KK

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 5>Dean's who I think is like yo Let McEwan, number two,

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 5>She's literally her one just has the eligibility.

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>Her principles in Karna.

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, and she was out last season with a

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 5>season ending injury, so this season they've got her. She

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 5>dropped thirteen in that game against Baylor. Also got fifth

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 5>year senior Madison Scott, who I just got to give

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 5>a huge shout out to, had fourteen in the Baylor

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.199
<v Speaker 5>game and has just grown and matured so much in

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 5>the freshman. I don't know if y'all heard of Sarah

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 5>gew but she's gonna be one of those players we

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 5>keep on our radar for the next three years. Just

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 5>the freshman, like I said, but led the team, had

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 5>sixteen points, excellent individual defense, and those three have kind

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 5>of led their charge and they're not going down without

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 5>a knockdown, drag out, which is interesting because they've got

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 5>either number one UCLA or number eight Richmond in the

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:26.919
<v Speaker 5>next round. So it's gonna be fun to watch Ole

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Miss keep tabs, keep tabs on them.

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And we're just getting started. Oh my gosh, I have

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 2>news for y'all. We got more games today. It didn't

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:35.640
<v Speaker 2>end just because the weekend ended.

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:39.479
<v Speaker 1>This is the least Sunday Scaries of probably every Sunday

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 1>of the year. What is that going right into today?

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Only the men had Sunday scaries. So if you're in

0:27:45.880 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the office today and somebody who's like, oh, how are

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 3>we gonna get through today with basketball?

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Wake up, bitch, that's the sexist alert.

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 2>These games made me spicy.

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 3>I once got in trouble because on a Monday morning

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 3>meeting like that, somebody was like, how is everyone's bracket doing?

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, which one?

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 3>And I got called out.

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.359
