9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: Welcome in second half of the show. Here on a

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: beautiful Friday night, early Saturday morning, now East Coast time,

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: as we're coming down the stretch in one of the

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: games the other uh, it's going to be a minute uh.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: Yukon with a one point lead, one fifty remaining in

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: the second half, nip and tuck battles, there was a

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: lid on the basket seemingly for a while. We got

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: seven lead changes on the night, Yukon at one point,

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: a nineteen point lead very early in the game, and

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: slowly but surely it got ground back to where we

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: stand now. Big three points shot to extend that league

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: to four a minute thirty five remaining, Michigan State with

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: the ball, Mike Harmon, Aaron Torres with you at Aaron

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: underscore Torres.

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 4: Aren't you buddies with Alex Caravan?

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: He's been out here a couple of times, that's right.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: So we'll see if they got on a deep run

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: again or whether the Smith curse. Oh no, well, I mean, look,

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: there was a time where we would get coaches on

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: and and usually they were number one in the country

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: at the time, and then suddenly the next game they played,

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: they were no longer than number one team in the country.

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: Matt Pater that happened to him. Who else did we have?

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Mike Woodson had a great run at one point and

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: down he went. Yeah, he went hard, but yeah, like

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: there was just a bunch of different convergence of circumstances

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: that you know, didn't work out so favorably for the

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: for the show of Wow, you know, we're bad luck.

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: We started like the you know, ea sports, the Madden

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: cover jinks, yeah, SI covers, you know, depending on Smith

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: where you go down to that road. And I was

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: tied to him, so I was wondering if some of

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: my bad luck was coming from him. Sure, I think

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: Justin and Alex usually just kind of nodded their head,

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: going absolutely, there's no question about it. You've gone to

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: the line one point game. Reid junior for the year,

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: a fifty nine free throw shooter, and he drains the first.

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great back and forth game. After Carabin

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: hit the three, Jeremy Fears came down and responded. Mentioned

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: earlier Tris Reid basically carried them in that first game

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 5: when they were injured thirty one and twenty seven and

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 5: hosting in this spot on Saturdays. I know we can't

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 5: do play by play, but it is a three point

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 5: lead for you cut.

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: He knocks down the second free throw, rattles at home

54
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: and found every part of the rim and the backboard

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: to get there. Sixty three sixty and they bring the

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: ball into the front court and get the time out.

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: The other game, Late Tennessee now has opened up an

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: eleven point lead on Iowa State thirteen and a half

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: minutes remaining in the second So curiosity here and certainly

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: one of those matchups that we've been waiting waiting for

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: just from the Iowa State side came into the tournament

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: missing one of their top scores and players in Jefferson

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: and is still unavailable to this point. Shooting forty three

64
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: percent from the field, only five attempts from the foul line.

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: Pretty clean game on both sides, total of fifteen file

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: shots attempted. And when we look at it, you know,

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the assist to turnover ratio. That's the thing killing Iowa

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: State right now, thirteen assists moving the ball, nine turnovers

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: to just the advancement. Tennessee shooting the ball better. They've

70
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: got twelve turnovers over their own. So sloppy ball handling overall,

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: or great defense, depending on how you want to look

72
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: at Tennessee.

73
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: Also plus seventeen now eighteen on the glass. Not ideal,

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: by the way, I know, nobody cares about survivor pools,

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: just like they don't care about your fantasy team. I

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 5: am currently hosting a survivor pool. Seventy five people still alive. Yeah,

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 5: forty three have Iowa State. Tonight too, have Tennessee. So

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: the herd will be thinned quite a bit if if

79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: Iowa State does not make a comeback.

80
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that rebounding stat twenty eight

81
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: to eleven, insane, eleven rebounds with under thirteen minutes remaining

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: in the game.

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's it's actually domination. I mean, I'm watching it.

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 5: And to your point, if Tennessee could just take care

85
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 5: of the ball, they're shooting fifty two percent from the field,

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 5: and to your point, twelve turnovers. If they if they

87
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: cut those turnovers in half, they're up by thirteen already.

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: You know the game's already over at this point.

89
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so won't keep an eye on that one final

90
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: seconds here between Michigan State and in the Yukon. We're

91
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: gonna get to the fears is gonna get to the

92
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: fall line here, thirty two point three remaining Hurley and Izzo.

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: I'd love the ISO boxes on them, sure right. I

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: mean the picture in picture in picture, and this is

95
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: where we get those super uh super quad boxes going,

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: and maybe we get some guys sitting around laughing at

97
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: this game and having their commentary and calling out the

98
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: coaches and whatever. Man we do it for national title games,

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: might as well get it in a little bit earlier.

100
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: Maybe the Mannings can just be out there yucking out there.

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: Enough Jason Kelcey, enough Nate Burleson, Enough Mannings. I'm good

102
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 5: on all.

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: You did start the charge against Nate Burlson.

104
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 5: I mean, here's the thing I hinted at it and

105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 5: Isaac Longcron. I don't mean to throw him under the bus,

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: but he was on the news desk. He basically jumped

107
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: out of the seat when I said naper And as

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: soon as I got to the U, he jumped out

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: of his seat and was like, we are getting way

110
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: too much Nate Perlson in society and life right now.

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 4: By the way, same with Jason Kelcey.

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: So it's not just I don't want to just pick

113
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: on Nate Barlson, but uh, yeah.

114
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: I'm on the show. I can't fault a good strategy.

115
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I still don't understand average NFL player on the desk.

116
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 5: No different than if Charles Barkley was hosting you know,

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: Fox NFL Sunday or CBS NFL Sunday.

118
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: It just doesn't It doesn't make sense.

119
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: Q rating loud noises. Yeah, so it's a lot of

120
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: our media brethren as a whole. If you want to

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: become a media critic, you can do that if you want.

122
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, just loud.

123
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: There's plenty of that hot take nonsense. Yes, you don't

124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 3: have to necessarily mean and have any conviction of what

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: you're saying. Just play the character.

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 5: Well, I heard somebody say they thought Kenny Smith should

127
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: be the North Carolina head coach this week, so.

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: He kind of disappeared from the desk for a couple

129
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: of days. So, oh yeah, yeah, he went.

130
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: He went.

131
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure he went down there to handle some stuff.

132
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know that he's a candidate for that.

133
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: He's on the board or something though, right, one of

134
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: the adminised straighters to all of these things, So certainly there.

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: Isaac Lohenkron also though very loud tonight and celebrating an

136
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: Angel City FC win two to one full time over

137
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: the Houston Dash. Oh, he's the play by play announcer. Yeah,

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: I celebrate his goal calls and you know, really make

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: him uncomfortable when I start talking about, you know, the

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: tweets he gets from Chargers fans after a game. But

141
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: that's a whole other experience for another time. Yukon one

142
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: point lead coming up final twenty four seconds, We're gonna

143
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: now extend things into the foul shooting and see if

144
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: we can't get ourselves another fifteen minutes of basketball.

145
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: He brought up a great point earlier.

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: What was the stat on the free throw discrepancy between

147
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 5: the two teams?

148
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: I know you brought up nearly what is a four

149
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: point three percent advantage? That was? That was a Yukon,

150
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah, So there you go. So we'll keep

151
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: keep an eye on that, see if that comes to

152
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: play in these final possessions extending things out. Meanwhile, it's

153
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: at eleven point game, twelve minutes remaining in the Tennessee,

154
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: Iowa State. But you know, as we've watched the tournament unfold,

155
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: it's it's unquestioned that while we celebrate a lot of

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: the high level performers in between the white lines, it's

157
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: the guys running in the coaching boxes that are taken

158
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: center stage. We've talked a little bit off air and

159
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: on you Izzo Underwood Painter like, they've all had their

160
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: different points that they're, for lack of a better term,

161
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: attacking what college basketball is now. The resounding cacophony of

162
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: voices in response, and I think it was the same

163
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: reporter kind of asking the question of the challenges, started

164
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: talking about how soft everybody's gotten in terms of hard coaching,

165
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: and that led to the Izzo saying, my guys are

166
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: still here, ye, so clearly I must be doing something

167
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: right or something we were doing is resonating. But you know,

168
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: I read the ages as we were starting to show

169
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: just the guys that are long in the tooth and

170
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: long with their processes and procedures having great success at

171
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: this point and still advancing. You know, that's good for

172
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 3: the game, right because there was a two to three

173
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: year period where there was a fear that you'd have

174
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: the mass defections. Yes, when Jay Wright left coach k

175
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: who was probably near the end anyway, but the changes

176
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 3: made it easier to tap out, and obviously having a

177
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: guy like Shier at the ready made them feel like

178
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: they could make that transition transition without too big of

179
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: a dip or extended dip in terms of participation, process

180
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 3: and what the program is. So I think that's the

181
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: one point in all of this, even if you decide

182
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: a lot of what has transpired is for again, lack

183
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: of a better term, diseased, the fact that so many

184
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: coaches are still grinding and through and trying to find

185
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: the way to play under I think rules, I think

186
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: is a term that might be too rigid for what

187
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: we have right now. But the playing field as it.

188
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 5: Were, you know, I Thinkzo actually had some quote to

189
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: that effect of like basically I still love doing it

190
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 5: no matter how screwed up it is, or I'm not

191
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: gonna give up on it because they need me to

192
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: stay basically, like, you know, we need people that actually

193
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 5: still care about this.

194
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: I will say I do think there what it was was.

195
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: I think there were smart guys that got out realizing

196
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 5: they wanted nothing to do with this new era of

197
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: Roy Williams, J Wright coach K you brought him up.

198
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: Then.

199
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: I think there was a group of guys that like

200
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: tried to make it work, but all they did was complain.

201
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: That was like the Tony Bennett crew. I think we're

202
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: now at the point where it's just like if if

203
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: you're still in it, you understand that this isn't perfect

204
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 5: to the point that you just made rule is probably

205
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 5: a strong way to describe what we have in place

206
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 5: on paper to dictate things. But I think the guys

207
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 5: that are there mostly now love the game, love the sport,

208
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: and are saying this isn't perfect, but you know what

209
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 5: it's It's what we got right now, and we got

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: to make it work. I thought there was about a

211
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 5: two three year stretch there whereas everyone was just complaining

212
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 5: and nobody really wanting to solve anything. And I do think,

213
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: like I said, and there were a few guys that

214
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: just said, it's not for me. Tony Bennett, Jim Lahra Naga,

215
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: who of course made a Final four at Miami, And

216
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: I think the guys that are there now are like,

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: it's not perfect, but you know what, I'm here, I

218
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: gotta make it work. I gotta stop complaining, so I

219
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 5: give them credit.

220
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, And some of it just becomes just classic delegation

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 3: right of duties of Okay, I'm the coach, but I hire.

222
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: And this is where some of the money questions that

223
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: people bring up, it's not even necessarily the paying of

224
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: the player's part of it. It becomes the you need

225
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: the infrastructure to administrate and great call observe what some

226
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: of these quote unquote rules are. Again I say rules,

227
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: and it just makes my on my arms stand up.

228
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: But you need people to be dealing with families, people

229
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: to be dealing Not that the head coach doesn't have

230
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: some of that responsibility too, but it's all right the

231
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: day to day of all right, did the payment come

232
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: for the kid from the truck? People? Sure that come through?

233
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: You know? Are we good with all of this? We're

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: abiding by whatever reporting rules we have to do. Kids

235
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: are getting the class to the point that they need

236
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: to go to class, which we don't talk about really

237
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: much at all anymore. And then for the head coach,

238
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: he can just go back to coaching and whatever their

239
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: day to day is with recruiting and retention.

240
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 4: No doubt. I'm thinking about two extreme examples.

241
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 5: One Duke to its credit, you brought up the transition

242
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: from coach Kid to John Shire. They were, I believe

243
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: the first program in men's basketball football whatever to name

244
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 5: someone in the GM position. And it wasn't the GM

245
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 5: like the NFL where you pick the players, but it was,

246
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 5: like you said, it was an administrative role. Who are

247
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: we recruiting? What do they want? What do they not want?

248
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: To your point, what issues are popping up? And then

249
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 5: I'll give you an extreme example on the other way.

250
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: Right now, Kentucky has kind of fallen behind because essentially

251
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: they don't have anyone in that role. And my understanding

252
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 5: of Kentucky is that there is only one person that

253
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 5: can sign off on any of that, and that is

254
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 5: the head coach, Mark Pope, and he's got to worry

255
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 5: about enough, you know, not putting a team on the floor,

256
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: but game planning, preparing this and that, and so this

257
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 5: is the world that we live in.

258
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 4: It's not perfect.

259
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 5: I do think at some point there will be some

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: sort of more tangible the word we keep using rules

261
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 5: put in place. But for right now, it is what

262
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 5: it is. But that's a great point by you about

263
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: the need for the administrative people who now play as

264
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: big of a role as the x's and oos people

265
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: on the side.

266
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: I think it's really an extension going back to the

267
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: professional leagues and you know, talking about advantages that the

268
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: Dodgers have, scouts and the processes all the way into

269
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 3: your front offices. It costs money to do that. That's

270
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: one of the things as the Lakers for all these

271
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: years quote the mom and pop bus family except Walter

272
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: and all these guys come in, is like, what do

273
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: we need to do? Upgrade the training facilities, up trade

274
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: grade the nutritional facilities, all the scouting, all of the

275
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: data people behind all of the like. It requires a

276
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: lot of body and investment that maybe under old ways

277
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 3: like now we were good enough. So you realize the

278
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: the changing of the game, and in this case it's

279
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: it's you're trying to keep your coach from burning.

280
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: Out, crashing out. Yeah, now, and part of it is

281
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 5: on the coach too, to delegate and to understand that

282
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 5: it is a new world. But yeah, it has changed

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: so quickly. It is going to continue to change. But

284
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: it's like anything else. The people that get ahead, the

285
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: people that stay ahead, the people that that are even

286
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: willing to get ahead, that are willing to acknowledge. And

287
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 5: that's where I give somebody like a tom Izzo credit

288
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: of Hey, this isn't what I signed up for, but

289
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: I'm still here. I have to make it work under

290
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: whatever the circumstances are.

291
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: Now.

292
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: Same with Patino. Excuse me, I didn't mean I said

293
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 5: for people like that though. Yeah, same with Yeah, for

294
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 5: people that didn't hear it, I slammed by the way,

295
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: shout out to you. You could have had a train

296
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: wreck on your show the last two nights. But Arnie Spaniards,

297
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 5: Arizona Wildcats survived last night, Nay and survive they dominated.

298
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they did it a little more than that.

299
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: My Huskies did survive, So it could have been carnage

300
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: slash depressed co host. You know you carrying that, you

301
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 5: always carry the show. But you know our our four

302
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: could have been tough for me and Arnie. Instead, you

303
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: got the best of both worlds and we do have

304
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 5: a final.

305
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get to pokey with a stick like

306
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: I would have otherwise, because that would have been fun.

307
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: You lose, you lose, you still got to participate something

308
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: my squad certainly did not. Uh. You gone with the victory. Yes,

309
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: it is a final. Now as we roll through, we'll

310
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 3: recap the game, kind of go through the final bases

311
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: here in Tennessee with a healthy lead over Iowa State. Reminder, Hey,

312
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,760

357
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: with Me, Mike Carmon, No Jason Smith tonight out gallivanting

358
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: on the East Coast, probably having some more Italian ice

359
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: and gallivanting in the streets, maybe busking. I don't know.

360
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 3: You might be trying to raise some money. We'll see.

361
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: We've got the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks still four to four.

362
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts with a home run, Freeland with the home run.

363
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: A little bit of chaos, Yeah, Invessia into the game.

364
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean we've got I think we've had like fourteen

365
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: pitchers or something, now not quite that many. It seems

366
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 3: like there's a new guy coming in on the mound.

367
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: All I want is at Edwin DIA's appearance. Is that

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: too much to ask? Because then he can close something

369
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: out and then we can text Smith and say, see

370
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 3: he gets it right here or something like that. It's

371
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: all about tormenting him while he's on his vacation at

372
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Underscore Torres is where you find Aaron. He is

373
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: currently in celebratory mode as his Yukon Huskies have advanced

374
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: in the NCAA Brackets Men and Women.

375
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 5: Yes, I was, I you know, Disager knows that our

376
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: Saturday show is the Yukon Women's Show of records. So

377
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: I was gonna save all the fun facts and nuggets

378
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: for tomorrow. But the Yukon women did beat North Carolina today.

379
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: You want to throw that out? Do you think Gino

380
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 3: was motivated by the success of Danny Hurley and the

381
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: men's program because he went a decade with you know,

382
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 3: some final fours and it was all fine and good,

383
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: but they had raised the banner.

384
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 5: In a long while you know a little inside Yukon,

385
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 5: this was a huge This was like the what's the

386
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 5: equivalent now it's It's like this was like two people

387
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 5: that don't like each other. Him and Calhoun hated each other.

388
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: And I don't know how much of a sports talk

389
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: scene there was in Connecticut in the mid to late nineties,

390
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 5: but there was like literally a Sports Illustrated article written

391
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 5: about it, like you know they have that Sports Illustrated

392
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 5: vault or they used to have it where you could

393
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: get every article. And they actually did a piece about

394
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: how they would be walking in the hallway and would

395
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 5: not make eye contact with each other. Now, I will

396
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 5: say Dan Hurley has, at least as of a few

397
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: years ago, a much better relationship with Gino Oriema. The

398
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: you know, Yukon won those back to back titles in

399
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. And I bring

400
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 5: it up because in twenty twenty three, gino Oriema was

401
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 5: at the championship game that was the year they beat

402
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 5: San Diego State, and I don't and it was striking

403
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: to me how I had never seen him at any

404
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: mainstream men's you know, men's basketball events. So I think

405
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 5: they get along but Halfield's and McCoy's of the nineties

406
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: in Central Connecticut or Amazon Calhoun's. Actually one more thing

407
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: I mentioned this, You're going Cliff Claven another fun fact. Yeah, well, listen,

408
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 5: I mentioned Sam Calhoun. Jim Calhoun's grandson. Is this student reporter.

409
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 5: Apparently I saw this yesterday out of nowhere. Somebody was like, well,

410
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: you know, we're happy for the women, unlike Calhoun, who

411
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 5: was a huge sexist. And the grandson on Twitter was like,

412
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: keep my grands my grandfather's name out of your mouth.

413
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 5: So anyway, there's still a lot of stuff.

414
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: With you slap anybody like will Smith keep my wife's

415
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: name out show mouth? I mean, if he slaps, it'd

416
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: be pretty cool, that'd be pretty cool. But I'm not

417
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: only we had a giant hand and there it was.

435
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: coach by Yukon legend Shay Ralph, who many believe will

436
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: be the next Yukon head coach after Geno Oriama.

437
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: Gino's never leaving.

438
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 4: He may never leave.

439
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what we don't We don't do

440
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: Sweet Sea sixteen and out at Yukon.

441
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: So Shay Ralph, congrats on the Sweet sixteen.

442
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 5: At Vanderbilt. We need to just step up your game

443
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: a little bit here because there's still a lot of work.

444
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: Shots fired, Shots fired, sixty seven, sixty three, the final

445
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 3: Yukon over Michigan State to advance through Reid with twenty points.

446
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: Caravan hit that big three. He had seven rebounds in

447
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: the game, and they knocked down free throws down the stretch,

448
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: taking full advantage. Clock stoppages for the game just ten

449
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 3: of sixteen, but they hit them when they counted.

450
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: Heck, yeah, Terris read a point that you made earlier,

451
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 5: like fifty nine percent free throw shooter. He made a

452
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: bunch late that really mattered. Wasn't always pretty, But I'll

453
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: recircle the question that I asked you to start the show.

454
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 5: I know I'm biased, but once we got Duke in

455
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: the first part of that game, doesn't Duke Yukon just

456
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 5: feel like Michigan State's fine, but we know it's going

457
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 5: to be a rock fight and they don't shoot threes,

458
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 5: and it's like ukn.

459
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 4: Duke just feels a little bit bigger. I don't know,

460
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just crazy.

461
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's the The other part is Izzo

462
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: is always in the dance. Yeah, always they're late, But

463
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: isn't there when you know the cleaning crew starting to

464
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: clean up as that last song is finishing its final notes,

465
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: no doubt. Whereas Duke and Yukon at least since the

466
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: turn of the century. Those are your two squads, no doubt,

467
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: Right Yukon, you can argue is the team of the

468
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: century to this point. Yep. Again, we're already twenty five

469
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: plus years. But we expect when when their sound and

470
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: Duke has had you know, a few years where it's

471
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: not been, but under Danny Hurley we've come to suc

472
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: expect that success. You go back to Calhoun and those

473
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,920

Speaker 3: Hamilton and those guys back in the day, right glid

475
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,800

476
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: at a game at Stanford, pouring driving rain. They'd come

477
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: out and I'm standing there and is before I'm doing

478
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: media stuff, just wanted to do to meet those guys.

481
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: it's just a conversation like what the hell are you doing.

482
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, you guys made the trip out here to Stanford,

483
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: of course, and you are the team to watch and

484
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: then got into the gym and watch the game or whatever.

485
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: But it was a miserable weather day. But they were

486
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 3: just shocked that a guy was there to meet the

487
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: bus just to say hello, Ah, Mike. So you're as

490
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: that was the thing, you know, growing up in Chicago,

491
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: and when we could get up to Evanson once, you know,

492
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: we realized that we wouldn't get vaporized if we went

493
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: past State Street and we could go to the north

494
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: side and everything is gonna be fine. There was no hey,

495
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,720

Speaker 5: Sure, I just know I've been in Chicago many times.

499
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 5: The part that you see on the news is not

500
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 5: the part that I've ever been to. It's a beautiful

501
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: you know, this game, this late game is in Chicago.

502
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,720

503
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,320

505
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,800

Speaker 3: heart of downtown, and certainly I can also draw you

509
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: the map. There's two or three neighborhoods in Chicago. You're

510
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,359

661

Speaker 3: like channel, and then he rubbed his belly in the

663

667
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 7: You know that wouldn't happen on any other team because

668
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 7: no other team would have s been a draft choice.

669
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I think we have second round pick guaranteed money. Steve,

00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: me that the sky is blue. I mean by that,

684
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,680

Speaker 3: Mike Carmen, Aaron Torres in for Jason Smith. Tonight eighth

690
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: inning Dodgers and Diamondback still for four to one out.

691
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 3: We've got Tennessee fourteen point lead. Final minute, tick tick

692
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: tick tick tick as they're ready to take down the

693
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: Iowa State Cyclones again. Jefferson didn't play one of their

694
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: leading scores. They kept holding out hope. I may have

695
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 3: lit a candle or five, hoping that you know, from

696
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 3: the sanctity of my bracket, there would be a miracle,

697
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: that miracle. Those prayers were not answered tonight.

698
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. We mentioned my survivor pool early.

699
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have gone from six entries, not really six,

700
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 5: two for my wife, two for my sister in law,

701
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 5: two for me. We are officially with Iowa States lost

702
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 5: to Tennessee down to one. As that young lady is

703
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 5: crying in the stands and I am the exact state.

704
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: I saw those people in Vegas, by the way, they

705
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 5: are Iowa State fans that go to all the games

706
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 5: anyway tomorrow. In my survivor pool, I am down to

707
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 5: both underdogs. Perdue and Iowa State are the only two

708
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 5: teams I could pick. If Mike Harmon had that choice

709
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 5: with his Survivor life on the line, which one would

710
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 5: you take? Or off the top of your head if

711
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 5: you don't have it off the top of your head.

712
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: No, no, do that again Perdue.

713
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 5: And Iowa And so Iowa versus ten, Iowa versus ILLINOI Iowa.

714
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: Illinois say, I like the way Illinois playing it, and

715
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: that's alex Tyshirts team it is Crely and Iowa. I

716
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 3: was interesting right because you and I did the show

717
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: on Sunday and I texted you as that game was

718
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: coming to its end, and Iowa pulls off the big

719
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: upset later on in the day. My little brother again,

720
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: you know, earlier in the show we talked about my

721
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: affinity for all things Big ten, but certainly our relatives

722
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: in Iowa and so we always watch and my brother

723
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: in texted me, going, can Iowa do it today? Right?

724
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 3: Nine versus one? In the game against Floria? Can they

725
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: do it? And I go, can they hold them under

726
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: seventy five because that was my line of demarcations, like

727
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: anything above that, I was not scoring it enough points too.

728
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 3: And they end up winning that game, and so can

729
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 3: they take the air out of the basketball? I think

730
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: it is really it because Illinois can get at you.

731
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: They are so in every way. Man.

732
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 5: Like I told Frostburg during the break, is I like

733
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 5: to consider myself fancy myself a little bit of a

734
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 5: college hoops expert.

735
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 4: Not sure if you've heard me by.

736
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: Bragman and Aaron Underscore torres is where you find him,

737
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 3: check out his podcast, his YouTube channel.

738
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 5: I will readily admit Illinois is the only team that

739
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 5: I'm like, Oh, they are so much better than I realized.

740
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 5: And I think it's just and I've said it. I

741
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 5: think I said it with you on Sunday. Is that

742
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 5: you know when you got two, like you said, you

743
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 5: have two three games going at once, whether you're here

744
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 5: at the Fox Sports radio studios whenever I'm at my house,

745
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 5: sometimes it's just you know, you're not fully registering what

746
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: you're seeing. And that first game, so Illinois opened with

747
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 5: Penn and then they just destroyed VCU, and I was like, oh,

748
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 5: this team is way better than I realize, and of

749
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 5: course my big regret in life is last Survivor pool reference.

750
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 5: I promise we took all good. We took Illinois way

751
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 5: too early in all of our survivor.

752
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: Ah okay, yeah, I mean we look at what that

753
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: roster is done over the course of the year, and

754
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: you know, folks, welcome to the elite eight. As you go,

755
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about five guys averaging double figures.

756
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: They can get after it, and if one guy's have

757
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: and and off night, the other like not many college

758
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 3: teams have that level of balance and depth. Like we're

759
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 3: watching this game Tennessee, right, a six seed takes down

760
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: Iowa stayed here in pretty easy fashion. Right, i was

761
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: a big lead that never looked back. And as we're

762
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: watching it unfold, you had to keep looking at the

763
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: b I mean, the collective you be and America going,

764
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: is that rebounding edge real? You're like, yeah, no, that

765
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 3: rebounding edge is real. Add some free throw misses, which

766
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 3: are just more academic to the thing, but it would

767
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: at least stop the bleeding on occasion, and you get

768
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: what becomes an absolute blowout situation and a domination for

769
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 3: spot for the volunteers.

770
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 5: Tennessee the only SEC team left. I will say this,

771
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to diminish what Tennessee did. Iowa State

772
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 5: five of twenty three from three, out rebounded by twenty

773
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 5: one and missed ten free throws. I will say this,

774
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 5: you want to credit Tennessee. Iowa State could play that

775
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 5: game one hundred times, they would not be as bad

776
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 5: as they were tonight. Doesn't matter. They're not going to

777
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 5: play one hundred times. They played once. Tennessee onto its

778
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 5: third straight Elite eight. Not bad for a football school.

779
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty amazing, right, we look at it the tail

780
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: of the tape coming in. You had the rebounding edge

781
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: you assumed Tennessee would have, but certainly not to the

782
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: disparity right over the balance of the season, about seven

783
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: more per game than what Iowa stated average. You like,

784
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 3: at the field goal percentage, Iowa stayed a couple percentage

785
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 3: points higher, a couple points per game, three points shooting

786
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: percentage five percent.

787
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: Higher higher state.

788
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: You know, but it's it's, you know, try trying to

789
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: wrap it around like because as you say, we watch

790
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 3: a lot of games, there's a lot going on on

791
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: these monitors, and you fixate for a minute here or two,

792
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: but then another game's coming down the stretch, or we

793
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: get a random story that pops out of the weeds. Frostburgs, Hey,

794
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: check your text, and he'll send us something like, wow,

795
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 3: that's all right, We're not really paying attention to that

796
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: game anymore. And then you come back later, how did

797
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: that fourth quarter really end? And in the largest of

798
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: a season, while we're talking thirty six college games or

799
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 3: eighty two NBA games, there's a lot of noise, sure

800
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: that gets factored in. So like for an Illinois in

801
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 3: a crowded Big Ten, perhaps they did not get the

802
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: love outside of Big Ten, you know, followers for what

803
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 3: Underwood had put together with that squad.

804
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 5: Zeroed out and so Illinois advances. Obviously we will have

805
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 5: at least one Big Ten team in Purdue will be

806
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 5: in the lead eight and of course Michigan as well.

807
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: So ELITEA is set. There's gonna be four pretty fun matchup.

808
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: Did you like all the filibuster guy did to get

809
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: us to the next segment? In the top of hour four,

810
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 3: we'll pick all of his survivor teams. Maybe Alex Tischer

811
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 3: will do it because he has Illinois winning it. All,

812
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: he's smarter than all of us had Aaron Underscore tours.

813
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: Find me over at Swallowing Dome the Jason Smith Sell

814
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: with me here on Fox Sports tradi
