1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: What is up, Drake Fire Fame, It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Friday, March the twenty eighth was the

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen?

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 3: Could for you? Oh boy wow.

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: I am recording this late on Thursday night after Texas

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Tech just had a thrilling, unbelievable comeback to keep my

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: dim bracket hopes alive in a big bracket contest, I

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: have them winning at all, just a hedge because I

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: have Duke in the Calcutta and Texas Tech. I thought

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: they were dead in the water. I mean, folks, when

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: you're down what thirteen but down? How much was it?

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: Let's see, they were down thirteen.

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Four forty three left, came back and wanted overtime. That's

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: heart of a champion stuff. We'll get to that game.

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 3: It just ended. It's almost what one fifteen on the

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: East coast right now.

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Just to thriller. I hope you didn't go to bed

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: and miss it. The Sweet sixteen was complete. There was

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: only a brief interruption when I got like seventy four

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: texts about the Lakers finish. We're not going to get

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: into it. This is a sweet sixteen podcast. Obviously, by

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: the way, shout out to anybody who loved the j

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: Billis podcast and told me about it. Thank you. The

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: Lakers had one of the all time melts in NBA history,

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: up five with the basketball with twelve seconds left, up

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: five with the basketball, twelve seconds left, and the Bulls

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: get a three steal, three Lakers score, and then the

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: Bulls had a half court shot at the buzzer by

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Josh Giddy, who apparently owns the Lakers. Anyways, Lakers blow.

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: That's a bad loss. And they played all their guys.

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to sit everybody on a

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: back to back, like, what are you doing? You've got

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Memphis Saturday, got the Rockets Monday.

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: Cares about the NBA right now. It's all about college basket.

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: So four games last night didn't go great on the

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: gambling front. I took the advice of a friend who

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: was like, oh, sweet sixteen unders always, so I's like,

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: throw a couple bucks on sweet sixteen unders. Texas Tech

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Arkansas would have hit, but overtime happened. And what the

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: other one was definitely was not albound. Oh it was

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: the Florida, Maryland game, and neither of those came close

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: on the under. So that's stunk. I had BYU on

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: the money line. That was a That was the one

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: upset I went for and that was that was total failure.

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: Parlay's teasersult those all look good except the one had

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: BYU in it. But we don't need to talk about

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: Florida beating Maryland.

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: By the way.

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: I think Queen probably goes to the NBA man, that

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: kid is good ten for ten from the line, like

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: he tried his best to keep Maryland in it. The

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: Crab five was really the crab four. One of the

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: guys was zero for seven. They got nothing off their bench.

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: It sounds like Kevin Willard's leaving. I don't know if

57
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: you guys saw after the game, but he's like, listen,

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't know who the ad is.

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on.

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: Villanova wants me essentially, That's what he said, and gave

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: Win and Cruise to an easy win over the Turps.

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: In the other early.

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: Game, Alabama smoked BYU, and I will say I'll talk

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: about Alabama Duke in a minute. Alabama played I don't

65
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: know if there's like such thing as a perfect game,

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: but one hundred and thirteen points, which is the most ever.

67
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: In the Sweet sixteen. They hit twenty five of fifty

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: one from three. Mark Steers hit ten threes by himself.

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: BYU as a team was six of thirty from deep.

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: Mark Seers repeat had ten threes himself ten of sixteen

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: from three thirty four and eight. You know, if you

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: squint and you really look hard at Mark Sears, you

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: can see the makings of Jalen Brunson. You could tell

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: he studied him a lot. Obviously, I don't think he's

75
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: gonna become Jalen Brunson, but that's the type of player

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: he looks like. A really impressive performance from him. This

77
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: kid Holloway bang six threes. This kid young Blood hit five.

78
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: If they play remotely close.

79
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: To this, they will beat Duke. The thing is BYU

80
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: plays zero defense. They stuck in the two three zone

81
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: way too long. Duke will not play the two three zone.

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: But that game was garbage. The night games are where

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: it was good. And we'll start with Duke one hundred,

84
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Arizona ninety three. Arizona wouldn't go away. Duke went up twenty.

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: You're like, all right, it's cruising.

86
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: Let's start with the let's guess the spread for the

87
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Duke Alabama game. Let's see how they match up. And

88
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: the next thing you know, Caleb Love starts to warm

89
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 2: up and percolate. And Caleb Love that was the concern.

90
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: If he goes off, we'll he end up thirty five.

91
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: And this became an interesting game. If you before we

92
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, glaze Cooper flag here and he needs to

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: be glazed. Holy hell, that guy's good. I just need

94
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: to say, like, you're the number one defense in the

95
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: country right according to Ken Pump. You give up ninety

96
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: three points to Arizona ninety three. I mean they were

97
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: living at the foul line twenty one or twenty three.

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: They didn't miss free throws, but they killed Duke on

99
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: the offensive class had twelve offensive boards. They just wanted

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: it more, didn't really turn the ball over. And I

101
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: know some Arizona fans are gonna say the ref screwed

102
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: him and listened the one grab and hole pulled down.

103
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Think they should have got that. Duke got it like

104
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: a minute earlier, and then Arizona didn't. It felt weird overall,

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: though Hella impressive by Arizona. The young kid from I

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: don't know where. Let's see Portugal or something.

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: Australia.

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Dude, he's gonna be a pro. He's gonna be in

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: the NBA. I don't know when, but six' sixth. JUNIOR

110
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: i don't really know exactly what happened and why he

111
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: didn't play as. Much maybe it was, defense but he

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: had two threes in the first few. MINUTES i was,

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: like this guy looks like a. Player and then for whatever,

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: reason he was kind of phased out and they went

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: with some other guys off the. BENCH i guess a

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: couple guys that they were trying to maybe get to

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: stick around as opposed to enter the. PORTAL i don't,

118
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: know But arizona showed really. Well and now it's time

119
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: to talk About Cooper. Flag took five and a half.

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: Minutes it's probably too. Long it could have just done

121
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: twenty minutes On Cooper flag and called it a. Night

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: but this kid's a generational. TALENT i, mean tight. Game first,

123
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Half Cooper flag grabs the, board comes up and hits

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: like a twenty five foot three pointer at the. Buzzer,

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: okay in the second, half When arizona started coming, Back John,

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: shire who doesn't really have a point. Guard remember they

127
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: Had Caleb, foster but he's kind of been phased. Out

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: Sion james is the guard that's the starter now and

129
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: he had a really nice game from three to three or,

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: four but against the, Pressure shire was just like get

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: it To Cooper. Flag And Cooper flag brought the ball

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: up the court and it's, like, oh what do you

133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: put on? Him do you put a big because he's

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: gonna get by him as he was doing And Cooper

135
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: flagg driving to the layup to the, lane everybody has to.

136
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Collapse he just throws. ALLEUPS i felt like he threw

137
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: three or four alley oop. PASSES i mean it was

138
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: incredibly breaking the pressure by. Himself so then they put

139
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: a guard on him and he still got too tight

140
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: of a handle and then there was a mismatch. Elsewhere

141
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: Cooper flag is a. UNICORN i know he Called Zion

142
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: williamson a freak. Boy Cooper flag is. Unbelievable this was

165
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: guess he's working on his three. Point shot he's still

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: only twenty seven percent, from three which is, not ideal

167
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be an interesting match because he's long

168
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080

Speaker 2: arizona crush him on. The board so that is a

174
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: point of Weakness for duke and that would be just

175
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: without winning the. Big guy and it's FUNNY because i, told,

176

00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: he moved the. Shop blocks that guy's gonna get four

182
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: blocks And that duke front line. Is tough now this

183
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: is where it. Gets Interesting, tyrese proctor the guy who

184
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: was just incendiary from three in the tournament and late

185
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,640

Speaker 2: non factor three, of eight shooting one of four. FROM

187
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: three i think one of his late threes was. A

188
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: brick the confidence is. NOT there i mean he hit

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,640

190
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: final thirty minutes without, a three and, you're like, all,

191

358
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,480

366
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: bench so it's tough for me to make a case

367

387
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,040

388
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: the Under on michigan one, Fifty Three, michigan auburn and

389
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: then the Under On. PURDUE houston i Didn't Take kentucky

390
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: tennessee because the three point variants is too Great and

391
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: i'll probably get, screwed there but the unders went, own

393
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: Of Course auburn michigan is in, the nightcap And Then

394
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: perdue houston. Is late the BIG bet i had was just,

395
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: you know teasing all the number one seeds and money

396
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,440

397
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 2: Are home i've been reading online and people there's there's

398
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: some Momentum. FOR michigan i don't totally. GET it.

399
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: I think I got auburn.

400
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: At nine it is. Currently nine houston, is eight which

401
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: is kind of sort of surprising. To ME thought I

402
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: thought perty would be getting, more RESPECT but i. Suppose

403
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: not so listen there's a good chance the number one's.

404
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: ALL advanced i think. They will i'm sure as hell hope.

405
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: They will and that would set Up A houston Tennessee.

406
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: Or Houston kentucky elite eight.

407
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: Game, on sunday and then the other one would Be

408
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: likely Auburn Versus, michigan state but we could. Have one

409
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: we could HAVE three sec Teams, on sunday three of

410
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,040
