Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Good morning, If you're watching on Peacock that's our streaming partner,
Speaker 2: or you're listening on our great radio affiliates around the country.
Speaker 2: Pole question for the final hour of the program, if
Speaker 2: you can't seat, and we will play Phil in the blank.
Speaker 2: Let's see that.
Speaker 3: Right now, we've got the best quarterback name ever. Johnny
Speaker 3: Utah right now is thirty seven percent of that vote.
Speaker 2: Last place is Jackson Dart. Okay, what's that all about. Well,
Speaker 2: it's the new guy. Maybe people aren't aware.
Speaker 1: Of him, hasn't earned it yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was at USC. He goes to old Miss
Speaker 2: mel Kiper now has him the tenth overall pick by
Speaker 2: the Saints. He also has Shadoor Sanders going to the
Speaker 2: Giants at three. So when people say, you know, is
Speaker 2: he going to go ahead of Shador Sanders, mel says,
Speaker 2: Shadoor Sanders is going to go three to the Giants.
Speaker 2: Once again, we got a lot of time before the draft.
Speaker 2: We got a month before the draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you take that whole thing with Shadur wearing the Giants.
Speaker 3: Did he have a Giants cleeton? I think it was
Speaker 3: man wouldn't that be something if he ended up going
Speaker 3: to the Giants.
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's always thought that he was going
Speaker 2: to the Giants. I think he made reference to Malik Neighbors.
Speaker 2: I think that there's been subtle or nuanced messages about
Speaker 2: going to the Giants, that Hey, I'm going there and
Speaker 2: I'm going to turn that team around, just like I
Speaker 2: did Colorado and Jackson State. I think that's the feeling.
Speaker 2: Can't wait. He's got Molik Neighbors there, not afraid of
Speaker 2: the New York spotlight, and he'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2: Is it the right place for him? Is it the
Speaker 2: right quarterback for him? You have a coaching staff coaching
Speaker 2: for their jobs this year. Are you going to have
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders play right away? What's Russell Wilson? Do you
Speaker 2: know there? It is interesting, you know, cam Ward, if
Speaker 2: he goes one the Giants, I thought we're going to
Speaker 2: try to go up to one, but it's just too expensive.
Speaker 2: Schador is there, they can take him. Do they still
Speaker 2: bring in Russell Wilson for a year. Any chance that
Speaker 2: Russ goes to Cleveland, Any chance that Russ goes back
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh. You know, we just had Bill kwer On.
Speaker 2: He said, Look, I haven't talked to anybody in the building,
Speaker 2: which I think he probably has, but you know, in
Speaker 2: fairness to relationships there he not quite sure. But you're
Speaker 2: waiting for Aaron Rodgers. I don't know what Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: is waiting for, and I know I don't think he's
Speaker 2: doing his interviews with McAfee in the off season. But
Speaker 2: what is he waiting for? That's what I would be cured.
Speaker 2: That'd be the one question I would ask Aaron what
Speaker 2: are you waiting for now? Is it could be money,
Speaker 2: which I don't know if that would be an obstacle
Speaker 2: for Aaron Rodgers. Do you want to play with the Vikings? Yes,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you're going to pay me, but yes,
Speaker 2: do I want to play for the Steelers? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I really want to play for the Vikings. I don't
Speaker 2: know if I want to play for the Steelers. But
Speaker 2: if I'm Pittsburgh, I can't be held hostage. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: is gonna maybe make us a little bit better in
Speaker 2: one year, and then we're right back in this again
Speaker 2: the following year. Do you want to keep Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: for two years? They never should have let Justin Fields go.
Speaker 2: I know he's not polished, but it felt like you
Speaker 2: can grow with him. And I still think that he
Speaker 2: can be a starting quarterback. I do, Well, he's going
Speaker 2: to be with the Jets. You shouldn't have let him
Speaker 2: out of the building. But if you hesitate, you go, Well,
Speaker 2: we don't know if we want to keep him. Hey,
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers possibility, Well, if you're Justin Fields, he not waiting.
Speaker 2: He's going, I'm gonna take the Jets offer. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to wait, and I don't blame him. Now, are
Speaker 2: you going to win more games with the Steelers than
Speaker 2: the Jets? Yes, but he might be able to have
Speaker 2: this second career or would it be his third career.
Speaker 2: They had the Bears, and they had the Steelers and
Speaker 2: now you have the Jets. But I think that there's
Speaker 2: the potential to grow with the new coaching staff. Yeah, Paulin.
Speaker 4: There's been a few reports out there that Justin Fields
Speaker 4: was offered a just a little bit lesser contract by
Speaker 4: the Steelers. If you're trying to restart your career, would
Speaker 4: you take just a touch more money with the Jets
Speaker 4: or stay with a safe franchise like the Steelers? No
Speaker 4: one's really questioned that yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's only a two year deal, so they
Speaker 2: didn't really sign you up long term.
Speaker 4: But if you're trying to restart your career, they were
Speaker 4: going to maybe give him the reins to the franchise
Speaker 4: for one year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Jets I got some new coaching staff
Speaker 2: and granted it's the Jets, but he may have said, look,
Speaker 2: do you want me? How badly do you want me?
Speaker 2: We're not sure if we want you, so he I
Speaker 2: think they gave him an offer that he could refuse
Speaker 2: because they're still waiting for Aaron Rodgers. But we're all
Speaker 2: waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Recapping the day, so Bill Kuer
Speaker 2: always great to talk to him. The first four, it'll
Speaker 2: be Saint Francis Pennsylvania, Alabama State, North Carolina, San Diego State.
Speaker 2: North Carolina is a four and a half point favorite,
Speaker 2: but talk about he must win. This is where you win.
Speaker 2: If you don't win, oh my goodness, it'll be a
Speaker 2: rough morning tomorrow morning in Chapel Hill because the rest
Speaker 2: of the country is going to say, see, you didn't
Speaker 2: deserve to be in the tournament. We'll talk to Seth
Speaker 2: Davis from CBS. He'll join us coming up eight seven
Speaker 2: to seven three DP show Nate in Texas. Hi, Nate,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 5: Good morning Dan? How are you guys? Great Nate, first
Speaker 5: time caller, longtime listener six two one ninety, trying to
Speaker 5: swim down. I just heard that Bill Tower interview. And
Speaker 5: what I love about you, Dan, is that you're able
Speaker 5: to get something out of these coaches because these coaches
Speaker 5: have so much experience, they have so much understanding of
Speaker 5: every process that happens in the game. But a lot
Speaker 5: of them, because they're so caught up in the details,
Speaker 5: you have to bring that out of them. You have
Speaker 5: to ask them the great questions. I thought that still
Speaker 5: Cower interview was.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Nate. But you know I always talk about
Speaker 2: people say, oh, you ask great questions, and I always say,
Speaker 2: what are the answers, because that's really all that matters.
Speaker 2: I can ask what I think is a great question,
Speaker 2: I get a great answer. I just want to let
Speaker 2: you talk. And I think that's always been sort of
Speaker 2: the game plan here. Just let you talk and hopefully
Speaker 2: you say something. I pick it out and then maybe
Speaker 2: I go in a little deeper there. But they have
Speaker 2: to be willing to talk. Now, could I conduct an
Speaker 2: interview like that with Bill Belichick? If I'm not hang him,
Speaker 2: probably not. But if you pay him, then he tends to,
Speaker 2: you know, expound upon things a little bit more. They
Speaker 2: just have to be open to it. That's the key
Speaker 2: to a really good interview. That and then listen to
Speaker 2: what they have to say. Uh, Norman in Mississippi. Hi, Norman,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6: Come on? And dan? Uh just talking about the mighty
Speaker 6: Munsi Central Bearcats that lost to Milan Aka Hickory in
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty two, that won more state titles than any
Speaker 6: other high school in Indiana, did not win a game
Speaker 6: last year in high school basketball.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Norman. That's a stat of the day,
Speaker 2: Marvin wooh.
Speaker 7: How stead of the day?
Speaker 1: Stanta Day, Statuta day, stand outa day.
Speaker 2: This is the stand of the day. I didn't know
Speaker 2: I was going to get a Hoosier update, but I did.
Speaker 2: By the way, Luka Dancik had twenty one to fourteen
Speaker 2: and nine rebounds. Lakers beat the Spurs. Since they traded
Speaker 2: for him. The Lakers are nine to one at home.
Speaker 2: The Rockets came back from twenty five down in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter beat Philadelphia. In the last six weeks, the
Speaker 2: Sixers have blown fourth quarter leads of twenty five and
Speaker 2: twenty six points. Congratulations. Fifty two players now have scored
Speaker 2: at least forty or more points in a game. That's
Speaker 2: the most at this point in a season in the
Speaker 2: last twenty years. Also, I was ready to watch Denver
Speaker 2: against Golden State, and then all of a sudden, Joker
Speaker 2: and Jamal Murray aren't playing, so I didn't watch Denver one.
Speaker 2: I'm going if you're going to rest Joker and Jamal Murray,
Speaker 2: do not rest them against Golden State. Rest them against
Speaker 2: the Wizards, who they lost to over the week. Like,
Speaker 2: let's just be fair to the audience. I'm sure they're
Speaker 2: all tired and beat up. Let him sit in the
Speaker 2: game against Washington. I know, you know, if you're gonna
Speaker 2: rest him and then you've got a game against the
Speaker 2: Lakers coming up, you could rest them against Washington and
Speaker 2: then they play. I mean, this is what you we
Speaker 2: We get ready for these games. We want to see
Speaker 2: these matchups, and then all of a sudden, it's he's
Speaker 2: not playing, Jamal Murray's not playing. All right, time to
Speaker 2: play phil in the blank. Fill in the blank, Dylan,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you. The NCAA tournament expansion is blank, lame, Seaton, blank, Marvin.
Speaker 8: The chance for less teams to complain about not making
Speaker 8: a tournament since there's already so many teams in the tournament.
Speaker 2: Anyway, wordy, but I'll accept it. NCAA tournament expansion is blank, Paul,
Speaker 2: months away. Baseball starting the season overseas is blank. By
Speaker 2: the way, the Dodgers beating the Cubs today this morning,
Speaker 2: Dylan lame, now good for the Dodgers, Seaton, lame.
Speaker 9: Marvin literally un American, Paul, easy to miss. I would
Speaker 9: say disappointing.
Speaker 2: Just just play spring training games a couple of spring
Speaker 2: training games. Houston Rockets are blank Dylan, intriguing as a
Speaker 2: flat Seaton, youthful Marvin, aawish. No, they used to be aauish.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like eighteen months ago, those guys were playing AAU basketball.
Speaker 8: Now they're an NBA, Paul.
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are blank, good but a little faceless.
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are dangerous. The Steelers starting quarterback next
Speaker 2: season will be blank Dylan, uh, probably Aaron Rodgers, Seaton, Mason,
Speaker 2: Rudolph Harvin.
Speaker 8: The guy who wears a Shawl.
Speaker 4: Paul A Pro Bowl alternate MM alternate.
Speaker 2: The Steelers starting quarterback next season will be Mason Rudon.
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's lad.
Speaker 9: Jump on board the bandwagon.
Speaker 2: Come on, buddy. Yeah. Calling in sick to watch the
Speaker 2: tournament on Thursday is blank, Dylan.
Speaker 10: A waste of a sick day.
Speaker 2: Just watch it at work, Seaton. I agree with it's
Speaker 2: a waste of a sick day. Yeah. But there are
Speaker 2: certain jobs where you can't watch the tournament though.
Speaker 11: Name one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like being a school teacher.
Speaker 7: Oh, you're right, you can't watch that.
Speaker 10: You can't roll on the TV and put on the tournament.
Speaker 2: Did you ever have a teacher who and and you know,
Speaker 2: now decades after I was in high school, they might
Speaker 2: have been hungover and then they would play a movie
Speaker 2: but it had nothing to do with the class that
Speaker 2: you were in. It would be like, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: and I was part of the audio visual team, and
Speaker 2: uh so you have to set up the TV monitor
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you turn out the
Speaker 2: lights and then you look over and you see mister strunk,
Speaker 2: was you know, sound asleep? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a religion teacher that sometimes if he
Speaker 3: was in a bad mood. We would come in and
Speaker 3: he would just be listening to Bob Marley.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 7: That's all we're doing today is listening to Bob Marley.
Speaker 5: Sick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 8: My social study teacher brought in the VHS cassette and
Speaker 8: we just watched Hoop Dreams.
Speaker 2: Oh social studies. Yeah, social Yes, you.
Speaker 10: Can tell they were hungover if they didn't even have
Speaker 10: the lights on when you got into the room.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Call in sick to watch the tournament on Thursday is
Speaker 2: what Marvin.
Speaker 8: Something, Ray and Dylan do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no, they're here. They don't call in sick.
Speaker 2: They're here.
Speaker 8: But if they were like lawyers or doctors or something important,
Speaker 8: that's something they would do.
Speaker 2: They could never become lawyer.
Speaker 10: No, no, I know, I know, I know in an
Speaker 10: alternate universe they actually have lawyers.
Speaker 2: No doctors, though, calling in sick to watch the tournament
Speaker 2: on Thursday is blank. Paul, to be commended, well, to
Speaker 2: be Commendeday, I never did that call in sick. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to think if I called in sick for oh
Speaker 2: opening day, Red's opening day. I called in sick one
Speaker 2: time and I went down there might have been nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy and went down to Riverfront Stadium, big Red Machine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: opening day, it was a big deal in noon start, Yes,
Speaker 2: but would you.
Speaker 4: Call in sick?
Speaker 13: Would you?
Speaker 4: Like in high school, did you ever call in sick
Speaker 4: or sick?
Speaker 2: No, just that just going to see the reds one time.
Speaker 2: But I don't think any Like my mom was on
Speaker 2: to me, you know she you know, it'd be like,
Speaker 2: all right, if you want to call in sick, you
Speaker 2: call in sick, because I'd be like, oh man throat
Speaker 2: early store, all right, you call in. And then I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to call in the secretary,
Speaker 2: you know, the principal's office. So I never did. But
Speaker 2: she wasn't going to do it. She was not going
Speaker 2: to do my dirty work. Yes, deal.
Speaker 10: Well, the worst would be if she's like, all right,
Speaker 10: if you're that sick, I guess we're going to the
Speaker 10: doctor today. Then you're like, well, not that sick.
Speaker 2: Well no, my mom was not like Fritzie's mom where
Speaker 2: you have a coffee. There would have been an ambulance. Yeah,
Speaker 2: poor Fritzie. I mean his mom would take him to
Speaker 2: the doctor no matter what happened. Like any he sneezed,
Speaker 2: got to go to the doctor. I remember she was
Speaker 2: disappointed that they didn't get shots one time, him and
Speaker 2: his brother, and she told them that she wanted them
Speaker 2: to get shots first. I don't know what it was,
Speaker 2: but they weren't supposed to get shots. And he jokes
Speaker 2: about getting his temperature taken wrecked at home.
Speaker 9: Yes, not even in a positions office. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 9: come on, that's a tough one. If all you did
Speaker 9: was sneeze.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hopefully not while you're getting that done.
Speaker 9: You just have a sore throat.
Speaker 2: You might send that thermometer through a wall like a jabbler.
Speaker 2: What was that Todd's getting his temperature taken rector? Alrighty,
Speaker 2: this is why we don't win sports semis right here,
Speaker 2: this is it? All right, We're gonna take a break.

Speaker 2: On this date in nineteen ninety Loyal to Marymount beat
Speaker 2: Michigan one forty nine to one fifteen, highest scoring game
Speaker 2: in NCAA tournament history. Let's bringing Seth Davis he of
Speaker 2: course from CBS Sports. You know, that Loyal and Marymount
Speaker 2: team was so far ahead of everybody in basketball when
Speaker 2: you think about what they were doing when they were
Speaker 2: doing it. This is what the game is now, certainly
Speaker 2: in the NBA.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and it's kind of you know, when you mention that,
Speaker 15: you know, so many unbelievable memories obviously from not only
Speaker 15: that team but that era, and it's it's interesting that
Speaker 15: nobody has really tried to do that. Now we have
Speaker 15: the analytics, and we have the three point shot and
Speaker 15: the spacing and all of that, but just the frenetic
Speaker 15: you know, early shot clock attempt no matter what. You know,
Speaker 15: there's like that Division III school, Grinnell College is that
Speaker 15: way and there's some dispute and it's an interesting conversation.
Speaker 7: Is that really basketball?
Speaker 15: I mean are they trying to win the thing about
Speaker 15: that Loyal and Marrimount team is they were really good.
Speaker 15: I mean they won a lot of games playing that way.
Speaker 15: It's just interesting that you know, in today's era, especially
Speaker 15: with the portal, you think a lot of players would
Speaker 15: want to try to play that way.
Speaker 2: But also it's a we want to take a three,
Speaker 2: We'll give you a two. We're going to take a three.
Speaker 2: And Paul West had, you know, had great shooters on
Speaker 2: that team, great scores on that team, and really you
Speaker 2: haven't seen anybody replicate that in Division one basketball, which
Speaker 2: you know, given the fact that everybody wants shoot threes,
Speaker 2: you would think that that would be something if they
Speaker 2: found a couple of really good three in d guys,
Speaker 2: that you'd be able to incorporate that. All right, I
Speaker 2: got off on a tangent there. What if North Carolina
Speaker 2: loses tonight?
Speaker 7: Seth, I do not like the better question.
Speaker 15: What if North Carolina makes the Sweet sixteen, does that
Speaker 15: mean they deserve to get in?
Speaker 7: No, the tournament is nuts. Stopped trying to make sense.
Speaker 15: Everybody wants to make s Oh, Gonzaga, that means they
Speaker 15: shouldn't have gotten Remember which tossed eight didn't get the
Speaker 15: right seat on that show? No, No, no, no, no, no, the
Speaker 15: tournament it all starts over again. There are a lot
Speaker 15: of teams that are not in this tournament that could
Speaker 15: win a few games. We've had two teams in the
Speaker 15: last fourteen years go from the first four to the
Speaker 15: final four. We don't need to get off another tangent.
Speaker 15: But I happen to be a proponent of expansion partly
Speaker 15: for this reason. I mean, imagine, by the way, Dan,
Speaker 15: you know we've got two games tonight and two games
Speaker 15: tomorrow night. How excited are your listeners about those games?
Speaker 15: Maybe not really, But if there were six games today
Speaker 15: and six games tomorrow, I think there'd be a lot
Speaker 15: more excitement. But yeah, I encourage people, Please don't use
Speaker 15: NCAA tournament results to retroactively justify whatever narrative you're trying
Speaker 15: to create.
Speaker 2: Could we have total transparency with the selection committee and
Speaker 2: they would allow us to see and hear what goes
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes. Is that asking too much invading
Speaker 2: somebody's privacy to let us see, so there is no discrepancy,
Speaker 2: so we do hear the arguments here?
Speaker 15: Right, So I start with this baseline, no matter what happens,
Speaker 15: when that Brackett comes out, people are going to be pissed,
Speaker 15: and some opportunistic governor is going to do whatever he does,
Speaker 15: and everyone's going to get on social media. Everybody's going
Speaker 15: to be pissed no matter what happens. I got half
Speaker 15: my timeline, you know, criticizing me for fawning over the
Speaker 15: committee and bub Bubba Cunningham when I asked him the
Speaker 15: question on the selection show, and the other half things
Speaker 15: that I am totally unfair, Duke hack who set him
Speaker 15: up for an unfair question.
Speaker 7: It's just the nature of the zeit, guys.
Speaker 15: This happened with the college football playoff when Alabama didn't
Speaker 15: get in. So I think the basketball committee, I think
Speaker 15: the football is way behind on this, and I understand
Speaker 15: this is the first year that they've done this. The
Speaker 15: basketball committee in the nca in general, has been extremely
Speaker 15: transparent about the process. Why do you think there are
Speaker 15: two hundred and fifty or five hundred bracketologists out there
Speaker 15: all using the numbers everything is out there. At the
Speaker 15: end of the day, it becomes very subjective. You get
Speaker 15: seven teams for three spots, right, that's the math. And
Speaker 15: so I've actually frankly talked to them about putting a
Speaker 15: pool reporter in the room so they can report on
Speaker 15: the person in the room can report on that, at
Speaker 15: least maybe for the bracketing because everybody has a million conspiracies,
Speaker 15: are you just they obviously obviously they just want to
Speaker 15: set up Platino in Calipari. You know, they used to
Speaker 15: and they haven't done this in a while then, And
Speaker 15: they actually used to do a mock selection where they
Speaker 15: bring in members of the media such as myself, put
Speaker 15: them in the actual committee room on the actual committee computers,
Speaker 15: and have them go through, you know, a truncated process
Speaker 15: so we all understand what the process is at the
Speaker 15: end of the day. I get the argument that, hey,
Speaker 15: these are big decisions, and we want people to be
Speaker 15: able to speak freely, and if there's a camera in
Speaker 15: the room, they can't speak freely and have a real
Speaker 15: candid discussion about things. It's a very difficult position to
Speaker 15: be in because you know they're subject to such criticisms.
Speaker 7: So look, I disagree with the North Carolina decision.
Speaker 15: By the way, go to all these bracketologist who are
Speaker 15: up in arms. All of them had Carolina in their
Speaker 15: first four out. Many of them had Carolina as their
Speaker 15: first team out or their second team out. And every
Speaker 15: year there is a team that comes sort of from
Speaker 15: further down the list. But people don't expect to be
Speaker 15: in it's a little unfortunate that this year that team
Speaker 15: happened to be the school where not just someone on
Speaker 15: the committee, but the.
Speaker 7: Actual chair of the committee is.
Speaker 15: The ad from that school, and he's gotten an incentive
Speaker 15: in his contract. It's all Bubba mice. Dan, I disagree,
Speaker 15: but that doesn't make it corrupt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just there's so much money at stake, there's
Speaker 2: jobs at stake, you know. I just I want to
Speaker 2: make sure they get it right. It's just like the
Speaker 2: college football playoffs. I want to make sure they get
Speaker 2: it right.
Speaker 15: Wouldn't you agree that that there is no right at
Speaker 15: the end of the day. It's otherwise. The better answer, Dan,
Speaker 15: would be, let's not have any human beings do it.
Speaker 15: Let's have an algorithm and let's plug in the numbers
Speaker 15: and let's let the AI computer or whatever will use
Speaker 15: your image AI generated to you know, but why even have.
Speaker 7: People in the room.
Speaker 15: It's subjective. You're going to get what the football went
Speaker 15: from four to twelve. That means whoever's thirteen is going
Speaker 15: to be mad.
Speaker 7: It's just it's just math.
Speaker 2: Okay, So why don't we do that? Or why don't
Speaker 2: we let Vegas decide who are the teams that should
Speaker 2: be in.
Speaker 7: There's a case for that.
Speaker 15: Listen, I've made the case, and I'll give Joe Lonardi
Speaker 15: credit for being one of the first to really say this.
Speaker 15: People talk about the eye test. I don't think there
Speaker 15: should be an eye test. Oh look at them. They
Speaker 15: both like, you see your vine and you see San Diego.
Speaker 15: Look at this game, they both. Have you seen every
Speaker 15: team play every game this year? Because I watch a
Speaker 15: lot of basketball and I haven't done that, but those
Speaker 15: numbers have seen that. So you know, there is some
Speaker 15: subjectivity built into the really on the fringes of the process.
Speaker 15: You know, ninety percent of what happens and who's in
Speaker 15: and where they're seated and where they play is pretty
Speaker 15: baked in. So it's only in that last maybe ten
Speaker 15: percent where you get genuine human subjectivity. And as long
Speaker 15: as you have that, people are going to be mad.
Speaker 15: They're going to have conspiracy theories. Oh, we should have
Speaker 15: basketball people on the committee. We should have non NCAA
Speaker 15: people on the committee.
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah. Win enough games and you don't have
Speaker 7: to worry about it.
Speaker 2: Seth Davis from CBS Sports joining us. Let's say Duke
Speaker 2: doesn't win the National title. Let's say Duke maybe bounds
Speaker 2: out in the Elite eight. Is there a scenario where
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag would come back to Duke?
Speaker 15: In your opinion, there's a better chance that I will
Speaker 15: play for Duke next year. And by the way, I
Speaker 15: do have eligibility that Cooper Flag there is zero chance.
Speaker 7: And he should.
Speaker 15: I would not suggest that anybody make that kind of
Speaker 15: a decision based on the NCAA tournament and what happens
Speaker 15: in the postseason. Who knows what happens in this tournament.
Speaker 15: He's going to be the number one pick in the draft. Yes,
Speaker 15: he can make good money coming back to Duke. He
Speaker 15: can make exponentially more going to the NBA. You know,
Speaker 15: when Zion Williamson was about to make his announcement, he said, well,
Speaker 15: we don't know how serious he really was, but he
Speaker 15: actually talked to Coach k about this, and he said,
Speaker 15: what if.
Speaker 7: I come back?
Speaker 15: Like I had such fun like what if I come back?
Speaker 15: And Ka basically told him, well, you don't have a
Speaker 15: scholarship here and you don't have a roster here.
Speaker 7: I don't want that on me. Go pro go make
Speaker 7: your hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: So let's Cooper flyg get paid.
Speaker 7: That's a great question, and he wants transparency. That's what
Speaker 7: I'd like to know.
Speaker 15: I would guess neighborhood of eight million all in right between.
Speaker 15: He's probably getting two from Duke and their whole collective.
Speaker 15: I mean, he's got his own new Balance.
Speaker 2: He's got to get more from Duke than the guy
Speaker 2: at Kansas State got two million dollars.
Speaker 15: He got two million dollars from their collective. But Cooper
Speaker 15: Flag is a unicorn in terms of his market. I
Speaker 15: mean he's got his own shoe deal, he's at the
Speaker 15: signature Nike's school, and he's got a new Balance deal.
Speaker 16: That's pretty good.
Speaker 7: That's my hat's off the hip man.
Speaker 1: But but you don't want to Brown.
Speaker 7: I want to shout at his agent at SAA, that's
Speaker 7: pretty good.
Speaker 2: You don't want to go to the Wizards though.
Speaker 7: You know what, It's funny.
Speaker 15: I grew up a Wizards fan, and I went down
Speaker 15: to Durham to interview Cooper Flag and a couple of
Speaker 15: guys for Fox Sports.
Speaker 7: I said to him, I said, you look pretty good
Speaker 7: in the Wizard's uniform, but.
Speaker 15: They're not gonna win. Look, it would be the most
Speaker 15: Wizards thing ever to not not they're gonna pick third
Speaker 15: or whatever whatever the lowest on.
Speaker 2: We weren't you a Bullets fan before then they became
Speaker 2: because I remember seeing the ball the Bullets with Wes
Speaker 2: Unseld and Phil and Elvin Hayes.
Speaker 7: Elvin Hayes, Yeah.
Speaker 15: Do you remember the old Capital Center with that sort
Speaker 15: of concave. Yeah, yeah, out in Landover, Maryland. My dad
Speaker 15: of those games back in the day. We are old,
Speaker 15: d and we are old.
Speaker 2: The transfer portals effect on college basketball, good or bad?
Speaker 15: I think it's I think on balance it's been very good.
Speaker 15: I think that I would like to see maybe for
Speaker 15: the second time transfer you have to sit out of here.
Speaker 15: That's really what happened. People talk about the portal. The
Speaker 15: portal is just a database that allows everybody to see
Speaker 15: who wants to transfer, who doesn't, and help you to
Speaker 15: get in touch. What really happened was it used to
Speaker 15: be if you transferred, you had to sit out a year,
Speaker 15: and it was only in like a couple of sports.
Speaker 15: So they got rid of that, and then they said, oh, okay,
Speaker 15: on the second transfer, you have to sit out of here,
Speaker 15: but we're going to have exceptions for hardships and then
Speaker 15: everybody's uncle got super sick and they had to, you know,
Speaker 15: go live near the uncle, and.
Speaker 7: So they ended up getting rid of that.
Speaker 15: That's part of why, you know, I'm hoping at some
Speaker 15: point it seems inevitable then they just make them employees,
Speaker 15: let them unionize, get a collective bargaining agreement, and maybe
Speaker 15: maybe it gets rectified that way. But you know, I
Speaker 15: see and I understand, like when people will say, oh,
Speaker 15: you know, these mid major teams, they have a great player,
Speaker 15: and then he can just transfer up, and that's not
Speaker 15: fair to the mid major schools, but they can also
Speaker 15: get transfers from schools who are in lower divisions. And
Speaker 15: by the way, a lot of these players start off
Speaker 15: at those power conference schools and don't get a lot
Speaker 15: of minutes and they end up transferring down. So I
Speaker 15: don't think there's been any change in that regard. The
Speaker 15: best players are always going to go to the schools
Speaker 15: with the best resources, and so it's sort of manifesting
Speaker 15: itself differently. But this is as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 15: it's been that way since the beginning of time.
Speaker 2: Well, look at Drake, they took players from Division two
Speaker 2: to fill out that roster. So you're right, you can
Speaker 2: go down lower if you need to give me the
Speaker 2: sneaky give me two or three sneaky teams that they
Speaker 2: may not get to the final four, but they're going
Speaker 2: to create some havoc.
Speaker 7: Well, Drake is definitely one of them.
Speaker 15: You know, Ben McCollum came from D two, won national
Speaker 15: championships there, brought four players. And by the way, you
Speaker 15: see San Diego as another team, I've got them going
Speaker 15: to the sweet sixteen. Actually this is their fourth year
Speaker 15: in Division one, but there's a transition period about being
Speaker 15: so is their first year being eligible for the tournament.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so those are hungry.
Speaker 15: But a lot of those guys came from a Division
Speaker 15: two as well. What I like about Drake dan and
Speaker 15: maybe this is someone that all the bracket filler routers
Speaker 15: can look out for. I like I do like teams
Speaker 15: that is slow tempo because it's you get these stylistic contrasts.
Speaker 15: So they're playing Missouri, which likes to get out and go,
Speaker 15: and you know basketball better than anyone. It's much easier
Speaker 15: to take a team that wants to run and slow
Speaker 15: them down then take a team that wants to play
Speaker 15: slow and try to speed them up. So Saint Mary's
Speaker 15: is another team that plays a slow tempo liberty. They're
Speaker 15: playing Oregon in the first round, and that's my first
Speaker 15: round upset.
Speaker 7: I really like.
Speaker 15: High Point as a thirteen seed. They won their league
Speaker 15: last year, lost in the conference tournament, brought a lot
Speaker 15: of those guys back. They got a guy Bobby Pettiford
Speaker 15: who played at Kansas Ye now coming off their bench,
Speaker 15: and they won all year. They won their league by
Speaker 15: three games. And then McNeice is the other one. Will
Speaker 15: Wade's got some serious, serious high major athletes. I like
Speaker 15: high Point because they go seven feet six' eight in
Speaker 15: the front court and they're six.
Speaker 7: Man is a stretch for six.
Speaker 15: Nine a lot of times those mid major team teams
Speaker 15: don't have the size up front.
Speaker 7: That some of the high majors. ONE does i Like
Speaker 7: the panthers Of.
Speaker 2: High point give me the vulnerable number, One, SEED.
Speaker 7: Well i Think.
Speaker 15: IT'S auburn, I mean i think there's any question that
Speaker 15: they've lost. THEIR edge i think the mantle of being
Speaker 15: as good as, they are as good as they've been
Speaker 15: in that league. All, season now, you know maybe they know.
Speaker 15: Rejuvenate themselves auburn is an, Amazing, story dan and that
Speaker 15: all of, those guys they got, one guy a freshman
Speaker 15: point guard To hot petterford comes off.
Speaker 7: The bench he was a.
Speaker 15: Top recruit everybody else. ARE ted, I Mean jeni broom
Speaker 15: is the player of, the year spent his first two
Speaker 15: Seasons At. MOREHEAD state, i mean they got guys who
Speaker 15: transferred Into from. Division Two, Chad baker mazara came from.
Speaker 15: Junior college so they kind of they need to get,
Speaker 15: that back like that chip on. Their shoulder they're much
Speaker 15: better like, seat biscuit, you know trying to play.
Speaker 2: From behind should there be an age? CEILING that i
Speaker 2: think the point Guard for creighton is? Twenty four is that?
Speaker 2: THAT right, i mean should we get to the, point where,
Speaker 2: you know maybe.
Speaker 7: Twenty, THREE well i don't think it should.
Speaker 15: BE age, i, DO obviously i think it should. Be eligibility,
Speaker 15: and again this is why we just need to get to,
Speaker 15: collective bargaining because the Governor Of, west virginia, YOU know,
Speaker 15: i mean what makes you more popular as a politician
Speaker 15: or attorney general prosecutor than, you know sticking up for
Speaker 15: athletes AGAINST.
Speaker 7: The ncaaa one thing that is going to happen.
Speaker 15: Next year the whole sport's going to get younger because
Speaker 15: this is the last year of the QUOTE Unquote. Covid
Speaker 15: senior everybody got an extra year of eligibility.
Speaker 7: BECAUSE.
Speaker 15: Of covid so you got guys who are playing and
Speaker 15: if like you had a medical, red shirt but now
Speaker 15: like they're trying to make it so and these judges
Speaker 15: are helping them out that the junior college doesn't count against.
Speaker 15: Your clock so you can play two years in junior
Speaker 15: college and now and now have five to play Four in.
Speaker 15: Division one that's not going.
Speaker 7: To last. IT'S craziness i.
Speaker 2: Tell you we'll talk to you during. The tournament always

Speaker 16: be ranked in the. Net rankings. Number three that. Just
Speaker 16: throws it's garbage in and. GARBAGE out i would rather
Speaker 16: see people who like ex coaches who maybe call these
Speaker 16: a lot of these games and watch dozens because they
Speaker 16: call the games.
