Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We made it to a Friday I meet
Speaker 1: Friday at that in case you're wondering, And I know
Speaker 1: you are. Pesto chicken sandwiches with tomato and fresh moozzatao
Speaker 1: and curly fries, all of that on the tragger grills.
Speaker 1: Who has it better than we do? Oh yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: you're mister Pesto. You're the guy I am in all seriousness.
Speaker 1: You're the guy who introduced me to pesto. Back in
Speaker 1: the ESPN days, I had my girlfriend now wife make
Speaker 1: me a meal with pesto, and I'd never had it before,
Speaker 1: but I read it in Sports Illustrated that Dwight Evans
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox would have pesto before every home game.
Speaker 1: And I said to my girlfriend at the time, can
Speaker 1: you make pesto? She's Italian? She goes yeah, and I
Speaker 1: fell in love with her just because she made pesto. Yes.
Speaker 1: He I once brought home a tiny like ab food
Speaker 1: jar full of pesto from a farm I was at
Speaker 1: and gave it to you. Yes, And you said, quote,
Speaker 1: this might be the nicest thing you've ever done for me,
Speaker 1: that it's true, there's just a little tiny jar of pesto,
Speaker 1: but it like it touched you. Yes, tell because you
Speaker 1: just love. Yes. Yes, I'm on the road sometimes and
Speaker 1: I'll send you pictures of pesto. I remember as in
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, I said, Dan, you got to go to
Speaker 1: this place. What is pesto? Dan? You know, but America
Speaker 1: doesn't basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, salt, and
Speaker 1: parmesan mixed together. Yes, it's heaven, is what it is.
Speaker 1: Back to you. Yes, all of our recipps can be
Speaker 1: found on the website Dan Patrick dot com. Is there
Speaker 1: a Pesto fest or a Pesto Stroll? Paul? You're on
Speaker 1: top of stroll? Haven't fest? I haven't gone to one
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, but I will look at pesto fest.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about a pesto moonshine, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying I'm just throwing that out there with the
Speaker 1: Tailgate moonshine. And by the way, we'll have some news
Speaker 1: coming up next week on how you can order Azalea moonshine.

Speaker 1: and nearly four hundred cities around America. Eight seven seven
Speaker 1: three DP. Show operator Tyler's standing by tonight San Diego, State, Alabama, Miami, Houston, Princeton, Creighton,
Speaker 1: Xavier and Texas. Coming up a little bit, a couple
Speaker 1: of guests from CBS Sports Seth Davis, who was on
Speaker 1: the set last night, we'll join us and Clark Kellogg
Speaker 1: special k will join us as well. Well, let's see
Speaker 1: a couple of things that we need to address. I'll
Speaker 1: give you the point spreads. According to Draft Kings, you
Speaker 1: can bet on a buzzer beater in the Sweet sixteen,
Speaker 1: any game winning buzzer beater in the Sweet sixteen. Draft
Speaker 1: Kings Yes, plus one thousand and we had it last
Speaker 1: night with Gonzaga in Ucla, and it sounded like this. Strawther,
Speaker 1: we'll get it in. Salas picks it up, clock starts
Speaker 1: eleven seconds, Salas across the top. WoT pitch it back.
Speaker 1: Strawther deep free from the top of the key, got
Speaker 1: it Straber from the top, seven seconds. Loot Camble on
Speaker 1: the run into the front court, drives the right side
Speaker 1: strip Awa Scrabler's got it full with one point one
Speaker 1: we go. That's how it sounded last night on Westwood One.
Speaker 1: Sandy Diego State is getting seven and a half against Alabama,
Speaker 1: Miami seven and a half against Houston, Princeton getting ten
Speaker 1: versus Creighton, and Xavier getting four and a half versus Texas.
Speaker 1: So a little bit wider margins with the point spreads
Speaker 1: for these games. And I like in March Madness, the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Certainly, as you get to this
Speaker 1: point in the tournament, it's like a blind date. When
Speaker 1: you tune into the game. You're not quite sure what
Speaker 1: you're going to get. You may not know the players,
Speaker 1: and you may not even know the storylines, and the
Speaker 1: blind date can be great or it can be bad.
Speaker 1: Arkansas getting blown out, that wasn't a good blind date
Speaker 1: last night. But Gonzaga in Ucla, that was a great
Speaker 1: blind date. Even Florida Atlantic against Tennessee. You had a
Speaker 1: couple of great blind dates last night. And kse State.
Speaker 1: Kase State is fun to watch now. They have all
Speaker 1: the elements of Cinderella, but there are three seed. Hard
Speaker 1: to call a three you see to Cinderella, but they
Speaker 1: do feel like that, like you got the five eight
Speaker 1: point guard or kis Noel. He's from New York, so
Speaker 1: from Manhattan and plays in Manhattan, Kansas. And here he
Speaker 1: has an Isaiah Thomas moment where he rolls his ankle
Speaker 1: and you're wondering, oh my god, is this guy gonna
Speaker 1: be able to play second half? Isaiah Thomas is there?
Speaker 1: In fact, he's asked this question about Isaiah Thomas. After
Speaker 1: the game, a couple of people said before the alley
Speaker 1: to Kyanta. You look to the crowd and said, watch this.
Speaker 1: Can you can you confirm her deny that? Damn? I
Speaker 1: gotta watch what I say. I mean, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: talking Isaiah Thomas, uh, because I think he had a
Speaker 1: friend um over there, um and he was ruling for them,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Ye're not gonna win today, and I
Speaker 1: just kept looking at him for something, you know, Adam motivation,
Speaker 1: but you know it was not even but but cools
Speaker 1: with um dumb over there. The Wildcats are led by
Speaker 1: Kyante Johnson and Marquis Noel. Johnson came to Kansas after
Speaker 1: four seasons at Florida. In his junior year, he collapsed
Speaker 1: on the floor and he was sidelined for two years.
Speaker 1: He could have taken out a five million dollars life
Speaker 1: insurance policy with the NCIA if he never played again.
Speaker 1: He turned down the offer and went to Kansas State.
Speaker 1: And Noel was unbelievable. He had twenty seven or had
Speaker 1: twenty points, nineteen assist. He had twenty seven against Kentucky.
Speaker 1: That's a new record for assist in a game. He's
Speaker 1: five eight, but man, he's got a lot of fire
Speaker 1: to him. He's fun and he's not afraid. I remember
Speaker 1: when John Calipari after Kentucky lost, he talked about the
Speaker 1: little guy, I think, and he later apologized for that
Speaker 1: because Kentucky needed some players like Marquis Noel. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of teams you don't know the players because
Speaker 1: you know the way you know college basketball is right now.
Speaker 1: Great players are there for one year, so you only
Speaker 1: get to know him for about four months, and you know,
Speaker 1: Drew Timmy has been there, it feels like seven years.
Speaker 1: He is a true senior, which is really rare. But
Speaker 1: I think when you see the mustache in the headband,
Speaker 1: it's out of you know Will Farrell movie. You know, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy. He'll be the goofy, goofy guy on the floor.
Speaker 1: And then you watch him play and you're he has
Speaker 1: incredible footwork and I liken it to Kevin McHale. If
Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember Kevin McHale. He didn't jump,
Speaker 1: but he had long arms and he had great footwork.
Speaker 1: He's one of the best post position players in the
Speaker 1: history of the game. He had this ability to get
Speaker 1: you off balance and then he was able to score.
Speaker 1: And Timmy, can you know he can shoot better than
Speaker 1: Kevin could. Uh you know, he can take you out
Speaker 1: to three point range. So it's fun. But I feel
Speaker 1: like every single game I'm watching it feels like this
Speaker 1: is a blind date. Not quite sure, but for the
Speaker 1: most part usually ends with a bang, whoa who early
Speaker 1: kids and you, guys, ever been on a true blind date? Yes,
Speaker 1: like where you you never met the person until you
Speaker 1: walked into the restaurant. I went on a blind date
Speaker 1: where the woman was blind. Ah, and she was what
Speaker 1: she was great. He became friends for throughout college. She was,
Speaker 1: but she was legally blind. Did you tell her you're
Speaker 1: a six seven? I said, I'm I'm a really good
Speaker 1: looking guy. Now, I guys, I get to make the
Speaker 1: jokes here. You have one, you have one good eye.
Speaker 1: You can do that after yes, yes, but she was
Speaker 1: a wonderful woman. So I went on a blind date.
Speaker 1: She arrived at the restaurant alone. How'd that work? Uh, well,
Speaker 1: she went with her girlfriend and then so it was
Speaker 1: a date. No, no, no, no, no, no, it was
Speaker 1: it was he was going to play thank you to Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a double date. And uh so her name
Speaker 1: was Amy. She was a very nice woman. Her name
Speaker 1: wasn't Sienna. Oh wow, I can make that joke. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Rarely do I get this opening. I don't
Speaker 1: like the optics of this. Paul actually took me a
Speaker 1: second embarrassed. Oh look, who's wearing their husky t shirt? Yeah, Marv? Okay,
Speaker 1: and Todd's wearing his husky jeans. Here we go. It's
Speaker 1: not necessary. Not necessary. That's just a callback from yesterday
Speaker 1: to see how many groups we can insult in one thing.
Speaker 1: We're making fun of. Blind people were making fun of
Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of. I said I had a
Speaker 1: blind date. I was, you're fat shaming now, I no.
Speaker 1: Fritzie's mom called him husky, not me. That's what they
Speaker 1: called the jeans back then. At least they play that.
Speaker 1: I went to, you got husky jeans. Try on these huskies, hey, Seeton,
Speaker 1: stop making fun of Todd. Hey. I tried the slim ones.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it past my kneecap. But husky, Yeah, Marv.
Speaker 1: Feeling pretty good about boy? That was? I mean, Yukon
Speaker 1: to me, is played better than anybody in the tournament.
Speaker 1: I thought it might be competitive. It felt like Arkansas
Speaker 1: turned into Kentucky. Where you go they got a lot
Speaker 1: of talent, but that looks like they're in disarray. And
Speaker 1: they had note, you know, close early and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Connecticut looked dominating. Yeah. More the first
Speaker 1: four minutes when my palms were sweating, Yeah, they are
Speaker 1: about five minutes in. Oh, this is a rap, just
Speaker 1: a little sweaty. Yeah, there's not a lot of sweat.
Speaker 1: I mean your palms. Now, you're disrespecting the small hands community.
Speaker 1: Also the small hand yeah, anti smallest. Yeah, is there
Speaker 1: a small hand community? Wouldn't it be great? And you
Speaker 1: belong to a club yo, mensa, Well what do you
Speaker 1: belong to? Small hands? Clip? Little hands across there just
Speaker 1: takes more a lot of any more anymore remembers you
Speaker 1: need a lot more people. Uh. Florida Atlantic, they said
Speaker 1: we're not a Cinderella. But fifth team seated ninth or
Speaker 1: lower to reach the elite eight in the last three tournaments.
Speaker 1: So you had Saint Peter's they were a fifteen, Miami
Speaker 1: was at ten last year, Oregon State twelve, UCLA eleven.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one. At least one team seated ninth
Speaker 1: or lower has reached the elite eight in six of
Speaker 1: the last seven tournaments day. Start out of the day,
Speaker 1: start of the day. This is the start of the day.
Speaker 1: And in case you're not sure, Florida Atlantic not on
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, but Boca Raton close to that. What was
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina wasn't on the coasts, like six miles away
Speaker 1: from the water. Yeah, adjacent too. Yeah, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a neighborhood call at second base. You know, you're
Speaker 1: kind of in the area, Coastal Carolina. They're probably dancing
Speaker 1: in the streets of Boca Raton this morning. Yes, actually
Speaker 1: doing the horror since it's in Boca, A lot of
Speaker 1: Jewish people are living there, so they're kind of dancing
Speaker 1: around the team in a circle. Thank you, Tony Well.
Speaker 1: Celebrity Brackett Challenge. Peter King is still leading, but he
Speaker 1: won't be because he's got Marquette. Adam Sandler is second,

Speaker 1: I'm not in the bottom, so I'm like, okay, I'm good. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: not only does it feel like a long time ago

Speaker 1: make that Joey. I didn't see that joke. Oh thank you,
Speaker 1: fund of myself while being half line. See what he did? Oh? Well,
Speaker 1: set did we settle on a poll question here? See
Speaker 1: an o'counter? We didn't, but I put one up there anyway. Okay,
Speaker 1: we haven't really hit on this topic yet today. All right,
Speaker 1: but how badly does Lamar Jackson need an agent right now? Desperately?
Speaker 1: Kinda or not at all? This is bad? This is
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine if you're the NFL Players Association. How
Speaker 1: frustrating this must be because you're trying to protect him
Speaker 1: and sometimes protect him or the player from himself, and
Speaker 1: you've got to get an agent who is certified. And
Speaker 1: the report is that he has somebody who's sort of
Speaker 1: fielding phone calls who is not certified by the NFL
Speaker 1: Players Association. If a team negotiates with this guy representing Lamar,
Speaker 1: they get fined I think fifty thousand dollars. But I
Speaker 1: don't know where this is headed. It just feels like
Speaker 1: Lamar wants out of there. And if you've got somebody
Speaker 1: who's going to be a mouthpiece for you who is
Speaker 1: not certified, got to be really frustrating, certainly for the
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association. All Right, we'll let you weigh in
Speaker 1: on that. We'll get phone calls coming up. Seth Davis,
Speaker 1: CBS sports college basketball analyst. He joins us every year
Speaker 1: at this time, senior writer for the Athletic. Good to
Speaker 1: see again, Seth. Give me the result last night that
Speaker 1: surprised you the most, Well, good morning to you. I
Speaker 1: can't say I was surprised by any of them, to
Speaker 1: be honest, I did go four and oh in my
Speaker 1: picks last night for the athletics. So I should just
Speaker 1: disappear right now. Is that will never happen again? No, Atlantic,
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer Dan that winning is a habit.
Speaker 1: And they've now won thirty four games to three losses,
Speaker 1: and people, I would hope that we've come far enough
Speaker 1: to understand that it's not because they're in a bad league.
Speaker 1: Conference you would say, is actually not a bad league
Speaker 1: as mid major leagues go. It's about as good as
Speaker 1: there is. And they dominated all season long. You know,
Speaker 1: as a story, Kansas State is hard to beat. They
Speaker 1: only had two players coming back from a program that
Speaker 1: had a job opening for a reason, and Jerome Tang
Speaker 1: came in and brought in a whole bunch of new guys.
Speaker 1: They were picked to finish last in the Big Twelve
Speaker 1: at the start of the season for a good reason.
Speaker 1: And they have been great all year. It's not like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they got hot late and are on
Speaker 1: this amazing tournament run. They have been good all season long.
Speaker 1: And you saw last night, you know, the power of
Speaker 1: having the two best players in the game. Now, of
Speaker 1: course the game went to overtime, they could have easily lost, obviously,
Speaker 1: but it's it's been an amazing story for them. So
Speaker 1: and then you know, kind to me, I think Yukon
Speaker 1: and Alabama have been the best two teams in the tournament,
Speaker 1: and after last night, I would probably put Yukon one
Speaker 1: Alabama too. Let's see how the tide looks tonight. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just a great, great night of basketball and
Speaker 1: the crazy shot by Julian Strawther of again Zagata, and
Speaker 1: the night really really unfortunate for UCLA after the amazing
Speaker 1: season they've had for them to be down two starters
Speaker 1: at this point in the season. They were, they were
Speaker 1: gassed the whole way. The fact that they took Nzaga
Speaker 1: to the edge like that is an incredible tribute to
Speaker 1: Nick and those kids. So it's been a fun tournament.
Speaker 1: It's almost like we've redefined what a Cinderella is now.
Speaker 1: I talked to you know, Princeton's head coach, and he said,
Speaker 1: we're embracing Cinderella, where Florida Atlantic is not. They They're like, no,
Speaker 1: We're we belong here. Kansas State as a three seed
Speaker 1: has a Cinderella field to them, which is pretty amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of these other schools would
Speaker 1: be defined as Cinderella's in previous years and maybe not now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so I would agree with you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we could talk about San Diego State, you know,
Speaker 1: being a Mountain West school. I mean, there are five seeds,
Speaker 1: so if that's you know, we're kind of scraping the
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel for a Cinderella there, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've I've said many times Dan, San Diego
Speaker 1: State is the best mid major program in the country
Speaker 1: outside of Gainzaga. They are really, really good every year.
Speaker 1: And let's not forget in twenty twenty when the tournament canceled,
Speaker 1: they were headed for a one or a two seed.
Speaker 1: So they've been good now for many, many years, being
Speaker 1: able to replenish their roster, you know, going back to
Speaker 1: the Kawhi Leonard teams of Steve Fisher, transferring that from
Speaker 1: Steve Fisher to Brian Dutcher and and continuing that success.
Speaker 1: That doesn't that doesn't usually happen if you're in the
Speaker 1: sweet sixteen. I mean, I understand Princeton is a fifteen
Speaker 1: seed and we called them as Cinderella, But I mean,
Speaker 1: if you if you didn't know anything about the teams
Speaker 1: and you watched that Princeton Missouri game. You didn't know
Speaker 1: anything about them, where they're ranked, where they were a seed,
Speaker 1: of what league they were in. You say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Prinson's a better team. I mean they just dominated them physically.
Speaker 1: So um yeah, I think we're long past the point
Speaker 1: of of of thinking along those lines. But it's an
Speaker 1: incredible story. You know, Ivy League champ is a number
Speaker 1: fifteen seed, and what after you did to beat Perdue
Speaker 1: is a sixteen beating a one. That's gonna happen again.
Speaker 1: We now know it's only a matter of time and
Speaker 1: probably not a very long time before a sixteen seed
Speaker 1: reaches the sweet sixteen. It's been the trajectory of the
Speaker 1: sport really since I've been covering it now, which I
Speaker 1: hate to say is is a good thirty years and
Speaker 1: increasing fast SETH Davis, CBS Sports College Bounsketball Allison, senior
Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic joining us on the program. It
Speaker 1: feels like those teams, those schools that have players who
Speaker 1: stay longer than one year, they're the most dangerous. And
Speaker 1: you know, Kentucky proved that for many, many years they
Speaker 1: would have one and done and tons of talent, and
Speaker 1: they'd go on to make millions and millions of dollars
Speaker 1: in the NBA, but they didn't have great success deep
Speaker 1: into the tournament. Are we changing the blueprint for success
Speaker 1: in college bounsketball? Yeah? Again, I think that's another thing
Speaker 1: that's been happening. I mean, if you look at twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: the Kentucky chap that was Anthony Davis, Michael kid Gilchrist.
Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen was Duke with Jalil Loka, four, Tias Jones,
Speaker 1: Justice wenes Low. Those were all freshmen. So those were
Speaker 1: two freshman leaning teams. Now, they did have older players
Speaker 1: that were there, as you know, they're kind of glue
Speaker 1: guys and um and the like. But but they but
Speaker 1: they were heavily reliant on one and done type talents.
Speaker 1: That's really been it. You know. After that, it's really
Speaker 1: teams like you know, Jay Wright's Villanova's teams and the
Speaker 1: older uh you know North Carolina team and um, you know,
Speaker 1: right right on down the line, Kansas last year, you
Speaker 1: got to be older. And now Dan, we're at a
Speaker 1: we're in a point where college basketball has never been
Speaker 1: this old because of the extra COVID year that these
Speaker 1: players are getting so um and then their ability to
Speaker 1: transfer without having to sit out has I think helped,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of water find its level, where players
Speaker 1: are going to places where they can play and they
Speaker 1: can be exposed and they can have the best um experience.
Speaker 1: I Mean, people talk about the downsides of that, but
Speaker 1: I think the upsides really outweigh the downsides of of
Speaker 1: giving everybody the ability to to find the place that
Speaker 1: fits them back. So yeah, I mean, like the Duke
Speaker 1: Tennessee game last week was a great example. I mean,
Speaker 1: Duke just looked really young. Tennessee is older, more physical,
Speaker 1: and that's why they're still playing. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of these teams to Night Texas one of the oldest
Speaker 1: teams in the country, and not just being old Dan,
Speaker 1: but having continuity from you, you can get old than
Speaker 1: the transferport about bringing in a bunch of old players,
Speaker 1: But if you have old players who have played together
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, that's really the sweet spot
Speaker 1: that I think teams are looking for. Drew Timmy has
Speaker 1: seven career tournament games with at least twenty five points,
Speaker 1: so tied with Bill Bradley and Oscar Robertson for third
Speaker 1: most old time Elvin Hayes and Jerry West tied for
Speaker 1: first with eight, so he can reach that with the
Speaker 1: next game. How will college bounsketball remember Drew, Timmy. So
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good company, right, There's not too bad
Speaker 1: that I think he's got another year of eligibility. He does,
Speaker 1: and he won't use it. I'm trying to talk him
Speaker 1: into coming back to comment and I l money, man,
Speaker 1: come on, but he's he's he's made pretty clear that
Speaker 1: he's gone. Um yeah, I mean, you know, Drew's gonna
Speaker 1: be a remember for his personality as much as anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just plays the game with great joy,
Speaker 1: great verve. I'm not a fan of dropping f bombs
Speaker 1: on on TV, but um, that is his personality. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny he was kissing Julian Strawther last night.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm the biggest Julian Strather fan because if
Speaker 1: it if that shot didn't go in, all we'd be
Speaker 1: talking about right now where his two miss free throws.
Speaker 1: It's funny how fate intervenes. But you know, he's he's
Speaker 1: been a great player and he's been in a great program.
Speaker 1: Like we just take this Gonzaga thing for granted, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's really it. I would challenge anybody to find
Speaker 1: me in another example anywhere in sports anywhere of this happening,
Speaker 1: where this little private Jesuit school in Spokane, Washington playing
Speaker 1: in the West Coast Conference. Is this dominant for this long?
Speaker 1: I mean we're not going on twenty plus years since
Speaker 1: they made that initial run to the Elite Eight, but
Speaker 1: Mark Few and everybody, and it's not just Mark, I
Speaker 1: mean it's a total buying of the university, the alumni base,
Speaker 1: the donor base, the community. And then people say, well,
Speaker 1: they're a league and this and that, and well, now
Speaker 1: you look at their record in the NCAA tournament and
Speaker 1: there's you can count on one hand and only need
Speaker 1: a couple of fingers or programs that are able to
Speaker 1: match that. And then people say, oh, they haven't won
Speaker 1: a championship. Are you serious? Like, first of all, they
Speaker 1: were one possession away and they've played and two championship
Speaker 1: games or one possession away against North Carolina. We are
Speaker 1: talking about Gonzaga University. So for Drew, Timmy and and
Speaker 1: that story, for Gonzaga and Mark Few to be in
Speaker 1: the Elite eight is fantastic I will tell you with
Speaker 1: great confidence the road ends here. They match up very
Speaker 1: poorly against Yukon. Everybody matches up poorly against Yukon with
Speaker 1: that that two headed monster at center. I love Drew Timmy.
Speaker 1: He's an incredible scorer. He is a pretty mediocre defender,
Speaker 1: and he's going to have the guys who are going
Speaker 1: to have their hands full with Sanogo and Donno mcclingen
Speaker 1: on tomorrow. Your thoughts on Rick Pettino at Saint John's.
Speaker 1: You know, when a coach it used to be to
Speaker 1: this conversation, it used to be when a coach got
Speaker 1: a new job. I would I would sort of caution
Speaker 1: the fans to be patient because the first thing he's
Speaker 1: gonna do is look at high school juniors. So it's
Speaker 1: another year until his kids, his first class gets on campus.
Speaker 1: Then it takes a couple of years to develop, and
Speaker 1: he needed a couple of good classes, so we're looking
Speaker 1: at a three to five year process. Now with that
Speaker 1: transfer portal, it's instantaneous, it's microwave. And what I can
Speaker 1: tell Saint John's fans, who I know are very excited, is,
Speaker 1: you know Rick Pottino seventy years old, he's a young
Speaker 1: seventy and he's a seventy year old with a chip
Speaker 1: on his shoulder and something to prove. He's been battered
Speaker 1: and beaten down and humiliated and dragged through the mud,
Speaker 1: and it got to the point where he didn't think
Speaker 1: he would ever have any opportunity to coach again, and
Speaker 1: he wandered it so badly. He coached in Greece for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, went to Iona, and so he
Speaker 1: he's going into that. He's going into this with just
Speaker 1: incredible enthusiasm and edge, and now he can use that
Speaker 1: transfer portal. I mean, if you're a college basketball player
Speaker 1: and you got the chance to play for Rick Patino
Speaker 1: a Madison Square Garden, are you kidding me? So he's
Speaker 1: gonna instantly upgrade that roster and he's going to coach
Speaker 1: the heck out of him, and the Garden is with
Speaker 1: I mean, the Knicks are playing well and Saint John's
Speaker 1: is going to be back. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: through the looking glass here, what's going on or if
Speaker 1: it's a dream. I don't want to wake up, because
Speaker 1: it's going to be exciting. Good to talk to you again, Seth.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Enjoy the rest of the tournament. Love you Dan,
Speaker 1: Love you too, Seth Seth Davis, CBS Sports college basketball antist,
Speaker 1: senior writer for The Athletic. Yeah. I think looking at
Speaker 1: Connecticut right now, the way they play, and they're blowing
Speaker 1: out people. Alabama, Houston, Now those are great teams right now.
Speaker 1: Connecticut seems like they're playing the best. But let's see
Speaker 1: what happens with Houston tonight and Alabama. A couple of
Speaker 1: phone calls in here Troy and Indiana leads us off today.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Troy, it's on your mind. Sticks one, two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five pounds, A saggy old man, Get
Speaker 1: off my allowing guy, And I wonder if anybody else
Speaker 1: last night got frustrated watching that point guard from Kansas State?
Speaker 1: Is it Noel? Yes? Who had all the assists? Yeah,
Speaker 1: my lord. Dan carries the ball down the court, palming
Speaker 1: the thing. At some point in time, the ball hangs
Speaker 1: an air for one second for it goes down. And
Speaker 1: apparently I am a crabby old man because it was
Speaker 1: almost unwatchable, and once again I blamed the NBA, and
Speaker 1: nobody ever calls that anymore. So I guess that does
Speaker 1: officially make me a get off my long guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're right there with me, And I thought the
Speaker 1: same thing. And it's unfortunate because I'm watching that play
Speaker 1: and I'm going, he's carrying the ball and then he
Speaker 1: had a beautiful alley oop. So it was a wonderful play.
Speaker 1: I love watching him. I just don't know where we
Speaker 1: got to the point where we go we're going to
Speaker 1: allow that and the NBA and I even added to
Speaker 1: the commissioner, that's carrying. Why not call it? Like now,
Speaker 1: I know you want dynamic offensive plays, we want more offense. Well,
Speaker 1: that gives you more offense, but it is carrying the basketball. Yes, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it feels like the league is better for it. You
Speaker 1: were entertaining to watch because you let that quarter of
Speaker 1: a second go by. But I don't think it's against
Speaker 1: the rules. You have a rule in place called carrying
Speaker 1: or Pauman, you don't enforce it. We used to have
Speaker 1: three free throws to make two in the NBA. They
Speaker 1: used to have that for the professionals. Hey, three to
Speaker 1: make two? What? But they had that and that's silly. Yes, Paul,
Speaker 1: It's almost like it gradually built up over the years.
Speaker 1: If you go back to like the Romeo Robinson days
Speaker 1: in Sherman Douglas days of the eighties. They were started,
Speaker 1: but it didn't really wasn't a thing where everyone did
Speaker 1: it all the time. Now, so to the point where
Speaker 1: these hesitation dribbles, the ball's kind of hovering in the
Speaker 1: air for a beat. And that's beyond just caring. It's
Speaker 1: it's I guess it's traveling and caring at the same time.
Speaker 1: How many times a game could you call it like
Speaker 1: you call it right off the game where you can
Speaker 1: call traveling too, that's a violation and they don't enforce that.
Speaker 1: So I just I don't know. That's played by the rules.
Speaker 1: That's all I got called for carrying. We should be
Speaker 1: calling it, enforcing it, damn it. Maybe it brings back
Speaker 1: haunting memories when mister Outside would get called for carrying
Speaker 1: against the leaden and warriors still hurts call it or
Speaker 1: just say we're not calling caring anymore or palming. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you say that, then fine, then I won't be
Speaker 1: apoplectic when I go it's carrying the ball. And then
Speaker 1: you got little kids who were doing it. Now I'm yelling.
Speaker 1: I went to see fifth grade girls basketball game. Friend
Speaker 1: of mine is a coach, and I am watching this
Speaker 1: and I yell out here, come I did, I said carrying?
Speaker 1: You're carrying the ball, and the parents are looking at
Speaker 1: me like, what is wrong with you? I'm right, and
Speaker 1: they were right to say what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Yes see? You know it's crazy too, is that there's
Speaker 1: a I just heard a commercial yesterday, um for there's
Speaker 1: a middle school state championship coming up here in our
Speaker 1: in our state. Yeah, and I'm seriously considering going, even
Speaker 1: though I don't know anyone playing, because it's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. Yeah. I don't want you on TMC sports
Speaker 1: though Dan Patrick loses at fifth grade? Thing, yell carry
Speaker 1: ripping you out of there? They're carrying the ball. I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to uphold the integrity of the game. Doesn't
Speaker 1: anyone teach fundamentals abstually the modern game needs. Ah Okay,
Speaker 1: let me take a break. What while you're kicking everybody
Speaker 1: off the lawn, what about the rolling of the ball
Speaker 1: up and that not picking it up the guard until
Speaker 1: it's like by mid court. I know you're trying to
Speaker 1: save a half a second, but that bothers me for
Speaker 1: some reason. I always hope the other team's gonna be
Speaker 1: a little more aggressive and just feal it from you.
Speaker 1: Have no problem with that. I don't know just what
Speaker 1: it's like. They're breaking a rule, but now they're doing
Speaker 1: it when it's they don't even need to do it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not like at the end of the game
Speaker 1: where you're trying to save I know, but what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is that's not breaking a rule. No, it's just
Speaker 1: weird enough you travel or carry the ball, you're breaking
Speaker 1: a rule and don't be jumping on my annoyance piggybacking.
Speaker 1: What is it about these guards that roll the ball
Speaker 1: up the half court? The break got our play of
Speaker 1: the day up next. Thanks for listening to The Dan

Speaker 1: prior to beating number two seed UCLA. That's your play

Speaker 1: more and busa dot com update the poll results Seaton
Speaker 1: for the first forty seven minutes of the program. How
Speaker 1: badly does Lamar Jackson need an agent right now? Desperately,
Speaker 1: kind or not at all right now? Sixty eight percent
Speaker 1: say desperately. And you wonder if he had an agent,
Speaker 1: would this have been done a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Because I want to get into that second contract and
Speaker 1: as quick as possible, then I can get into a
Speaker 1: third contract if I'm a quarterback, and I can get
Speaker 1: that money, get it sooner, and then I can get
Speaker 1: into that third contract. That's where you're going to make
Speaker 1: some real money in your career. And he has missed
Speaker 1: out on that opportunity. And it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: there has to be a little bit of compromise here
Speaker 1: on both sides. He needs some help in the negotiations here.
Speaker 1: And also an agent can help you in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, because you know, teams can deal with somebody
Speaker 1: who's used to a negotiation back and forth. Also, agents
Speaker 1: can get information out there, they can leak information out there.
Speaker 1: I'm still amazed at what OBJ does to stay relevant.
Speaker 1: Hasn't played, but he's in the news all the time,
Speaker 1: and granted, you know the Mothership is going to cover
Speaker 1: him no matter what. While he's on the outside looking in.
Speaker 1: But go back to how many months ago were we
Speaker 1: waiting for him to sign with the Cowboys, and maybe
Speaker 1: it was the Giants or maybe it was the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: and then we realized he wasn't ready to play. Now
Speaker 1: is he ready to play? Maybe has a workout, puts
Speaker 1: a video out there, and maybe you're drawing up interest there.
Speaker 1: That's what Lamar needs. Lamar needs you know, something going on,
Speaker 1: somebody talking about there's not even a whisper here. You know,
Speaker 1: we can throw out you know, the Patriots might be interested. Okay, Mike,
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything. What about the Falcons? What about
Speaker 1: the Colts? Hey, they might be interested. Okay, nothing crickets
Speaker 1: and that's surprising for a player that's that great. So
Speaker 1: something is really scaring them off. And what's scaring them
Speaker 1: off is you don't want to be the next owner
Speaker 1: to give up that kind of money because now you
Speaker 1: have changed the market. Now, Cleveland was desperate. He had
Speaker 1: ruled out Deshaun Watson, ruled out Cleveland, and they go,
Speaker 1: we'll guarantee two hundred and thirty million dollars. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: going to Cleveland. That's how it happened. Is an owner
Speaker 1: going to be desperate? And I don't think so, because
Speaker 1: if you do that, now, you're going to catch the
Speaker 1: wrath of all of these other owners who are like, hey,
Speaker 1: Cleveland was stupid. We can't be stupid because this affects
Speaker 1: all of us. Eventually. Let's see a couple more phone calls.
Speaker 1: Lucas in Texas, Hey, Luke, what's on your mind? Hey DP, Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: I gotta admit you're burying the lead just a little bit.
Speaker 1: I know we got a lot of basketball going on,
Speaker 1: but I guess this is where I admit that I
Speaker 1: have a problem with the show. I've been listening for
Speaker 1: too long because last fall, you guys did a bit
Speaker 1: for about a week or so, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was fun. I said, you know what, I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: something in my calendar. I'm gonna check to make sure
Speaker 1: I don't miss the date, and I'm gonna make sure
Speaker 1: to call in conspire with Tyler to make sure that
Speaker 1: we got this in. So to one of my favorite danettes,
Speaker 1: he's being totally blindsided by this. Happy half birthday, Paulie.
Speaker 1: You know how much I love that one's birthday. Wow,
Speaker 1: that is a long, slow play. It was Lucas swelled up,
Speaker 1: played the long gamey birthday, nobody, nobody, nobody cares, nobody
Speaker 1: loves a good birthday celebration, like PAULI yeah, something everyone does. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we got to the point that after we
Speaker 1: lived longer than my dad, we stopped counting our birthdays,
Speaker 1: my brothers and I. Wow. So once once we got
Speaker 1: past fifty four, we're like, I'm good and and my
Speaker 1: oldest brother just had his birthday and I'm like, you
Speaker 1: still celebrating? He goes, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm earning these
Speaker 1: right now. I go, all right, get past fifty four.
Speaker 1: My dad died at fifty four. Uh oh boo hoo, Dan, No, no,
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for me. Fifty four? Yes, can
Speaker 1: I dead dad? Top? Of course you can. And let's
Speaker 1: Pretzie can beat me too. I was. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: he doesn't embrace dead dad club. Yeah, don't. Yeah. How
Speaker 1: old was your dad, Fritzie when he died forty eight?
Speaker 1: I believe, oh, oh topper, Yes, my dad was thirty
Speaker 1: nine years old, all right, I was eleven. I'm over it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he died on Halloween, Halloween, tough holiday or on
Speaker 1: the house. And you didn't go out for trick or
Speaker 1: treating that night. I don't know if there's my choice.
Speaker 1: I think there's the arrangements that need to be made. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. My friends came by. I remember all my
Speaker 1: friends came by, which was very Yeah, brought some candy too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm curled up in the corner a Reese's peanut for
Speaker 1: the cup. Here's a kid cat born. Yeah, I feel better.
Speaker 1: Uh what what is there a candy bar daddy? Oh,
Speaker 1: like a dead dad friendly? Yeah? Is there a sugar daddy?
Speaker 1: Daddy with the stick? Okay? Yeah. That wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: good if they said, nah, I got some sugar day
Speaker 1: too soon? Yeah. I would have waited, maybe till I
Speaker 1: was twelve or thirteen. Uh. Andrew and Washington, Hi Andrew,
Speaker 1: welcome back. Hey, good morning guys. Playing a little bit
Speaker 1: underneath the weather today. But happy meat Friday, and thanks
Speaker 1: for taking my phone call. I just really enjoyed the
Speaker 1: show earlier this week with Sonny Vaccaro and Bill Bradley
Speaker 1: on Dan, I think you're the only radio host that
Speaker 1: kind of bridges all those generations where you can have
Speaker 1: a young guy on like Stefan Diggs that gives you
Speaker 1: the Downey Patrick Show, you know, chain and hang out,
Speaker 1: but then you also got you know, members of the
Speaker 1: older generation that may have passed and people have forgotten about,
Speaker 1: but you just interviewed so well that just becomes a
Speaker 1: conversation and I really enjoyed that. So good interviews on
Speaker 1: those days. I do have a stat of the day,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to do it more of a trivia
Speaker 1: question today. So besides it being his tent twenty point
Speaker 1: game in the tournament, Drew Timmy was also only the
Speaker 1: third player since nineteen eighty five to have thirty five
Speaker 1: points and ten rebounds in a Sweet sixteen or later
Speaker 1: game in the tournament. Can anyone name the last time
Speaker 1: a player had a thirty five point ten rebound performance
Speaker 1: in the tournament sixteen or later? Shaquille O'Neal, No, Larry Bird, No,
Speaker 1: I can give a clue. Okay, drafted by the LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: Got that great. But there's one clue. I have another
Speaker 1: one if you need it. Yeah, Paul Lamon Murray No
Speaker 1: from cow Wow. Okay, when I say this, you guys
Speaker 1: will be like, ah, here's the last clue. You'll get it.
Speaker 1: He shot left handed free throws as a tribute Bo Kimball,
Speaker 1: Bo Kimball, nineteen ninety ding, Ding Ding, great job, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Andrew Clark Kellog will join us. Coming up more of
Speaker 1: your phone calls as well on this Meet Friday. Fritzie Seaton,
Speaker 1: Marv Paulie, yours truly
