<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Our two.

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 2>On this Monday, we'll talk some hoops. Jay billis on

<v Speaker 2>loan from the Mothership, will stop by. You can be

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Day is always brought to you by Panini America,

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>the official trading card. So the Dan Patrick Show first hour,

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>we talked a lot about the Bears sending Justin Fields

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.319
<v Speaker 2>to the Steelers. I pointed out that Justin Fields has

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 2>better MVP odds than Russell Wilson does. By far Russ's

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>chances for an MVP plus twelve thousand, Justin Fields is

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 2>plus five thousand, the same as the quarterback who the

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Bears are probably taking, Caleb Williams. All right, so jail

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.639
<v Speaker 2>join us. We'll check in with the Steelers coming up

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>in an hour from now. Let's pull question for hour two.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Seton well, kind to.

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Find the right words for this one, because right now,

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the big storylines coming out of Sunday is

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>that the tournament seating is getting a lot of criticism. Yes, so,

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>would you rather have tournament. The seting priority be essentially

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>ranking the team's best to worst, or would you rather

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 3>them play with it a bit for the best matchups

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 3>along the way.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 4>I like the best matchups, even if.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 3>It means, say, if you're Iowa State, you kind of

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 3>got screwed.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, they know if they're going to have them as

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>a number one seed, that's different.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 4>Then we're going to manipulate.

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 2>I think Texas A and M plays Nebraska in both

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the men's and women's tournament. Now, keep this in mind,

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Nebraska's athletic director just left what school do you think

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>he went to Texas A and M. Trev Alberts, former

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>college player at Nebraska, played a little bit in the NFL.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>He was the athletic director at Nebraska. Now he's going

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to Texas A and M. Texas A and M and

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Nebraska in the men's in women's tournaments are playing one another.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>But Iowa stayed. I thought I was stay good enough

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to be a number one seed. That was a little

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>bit surprising. Yeah, Poe, I.

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 5>Know we've had people on before who worked for the

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 5>committee who said that one of their rationales in setting

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 5>up the tournament is matchups. Matchups that people talk about

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 5>in storylines. You asked one of the people years ago,

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 5>and you've talked about this. When Bob Knight went to

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 5>Texas Tech, they made sure that there was a chance

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 5>that Texas Tech would face Indiana in round two of

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 5>the NCAA tournament. So that was not a blind draw,

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 5>that's a matchup draw.

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I don't I think manipulating the seeds though,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I have a problem with that. If I was stayed

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>earned it, then put I was stayed in there as

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a number, you know, one of the number one seeds.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>But as far as hey here's potential matchups here, we're

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>going to do that. I believe the you know, the

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>women's bracket, they won LSU and Iowa to play, and

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be on a collision course.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 4>They're in the same bracket. I was surprised at that.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe you could wait until maybe the Elite eight,

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe a final four. But like I would have had

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Iowa face USC because I love the Juju Watkins is

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the next star in women's college basketball. She already is

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 2>a star, but that would have been fun to have

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>the outgoing scoring champ with Juju Watkins coming in at USC.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>But I also want to see LSU in South Carolina.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>No love loss there, and then I'd like to see

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>either Iowa against LSU, Iowa against South Carolina. Those are

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of fun matchups. There also the NIT. The NIT

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 2>used to be the tournament. That's a long time ago.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>It was in the sixties, fifties and sixties. It was

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>certainly the tournament to be in. Then the NCAA came

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>in and then March Madness happened. It exploded, and the

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>NIT struggled to survive. And I always thought, if we

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't make the tournament one of the sixty eight best

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>teams and I wanted to already get a head start

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>for next year, than I would play in the n

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>IT because it allows us to continue to practice. We're

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna play games. Maybe we get a chance to play

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>for a championship. Okay, it's not the NCAA and it's

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the NIT.

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Tom Crean, former coach now on analyst for the Mothership,

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>had this to say about the schools that don't want

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>to play in the NIT.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 6>There's no question about it. I would want to coach,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 6>I would want to develop my team. You've got bigger

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 6>staffs than you've ever had. There's plenty of time for

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 6>the portal, there's plenty of time to talk to recruits,

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 6>there's plenty of time to negotiate nil deals. There's not

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 6>plenty of time for guys to continue to play that

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 6>may never get to play again. And that, to me

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 6>is absolutely ridiculous. It's each coach is choice. I get it,

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 6>but you take away a chance to play the games.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 7>To put your team on the floor. Let them opt out?

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 6>All right?

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 7>The bullseason has it all the time. Let it happen.

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 7>Who cares?

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 6>Give your players and coaches a chance to keep coaching

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.559
<v Speaker 6>and playing, and don't short change.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 7>If I got want to play, go sit out. If

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 7>a coach doesn't want to coach, go recruit.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 6>But there's got to be enough people to put five, six,

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 6>seven people on the floor and go play.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 7>Makes absolutely zero sense to me.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 8>All right.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 2>That's Tom Crean, former head coach and certainly passionate about this.

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>So far, I think there's seven schools that have turned

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity down. Pittsburgh is one, Saint John's is one.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>You also have Memphis, Ole, miss Oklahoma, Indiana, Syracuse. They

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>already said they weren't going to play in the n

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 2>we have players who don't want to play in bowl games.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 2>This is almost that version of it that, hey, we

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 2>don't want to play in this game. It's not important enough.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But I always thought, if I'm a coach and I

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 2>can get playing time for some of my kids who

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>are going to be playing for me next year, then

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>why not take advantage of that? And you're gonna have

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>This is the feeling I got that some of these

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>coaches maybe covered for their players because the players didn't

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 2>want to play. You know, Rick Patino, he talked about

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>not playing in the n I T And I think

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 2>he was trying to cover up for his his players

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>because it felt Rick would coach right now. He'd go

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>out in our field house here, he'd coach a three

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>on three game, He'd coach anywhere. Hey, coach, we got

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the championship game of the au A. A, yeah, I'll

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>be there.

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 7>What time?

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>He loves to coach. You got a chance to play

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 2>in the garden. You're Saint John's, you're still building that program.

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Rick would want to coach. He would, and his players

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe didn't want to, and sometimes you have to listen

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to them. But I would try to use that you

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 2>get more practice time. Maybe you get a player too

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be a star for you, potential star,

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>and you get a chance to have a bigger, better

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 2>opportunity there.

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Mark, do you think for some of those programs

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 9>it's a program entitlement? Like where's Syracuse? We're too good?

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Okay, yes, yeah.

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Didn't Notre Dame turn down the Pinstripe Bowl. Yeah, a

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago they're like, nah, North Carolina turned

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>down the NIT I think a couple of years ago, Syracuse,

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Saint John's, Pittsburgh they're like, no, we should be in

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the tournament. And I think that's the hard part to

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>get over because but they all had their chances. Seaton

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Hall had their chance, Saint John's had a chance, Pittsburgh

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>had a chance. They all had a chance to be

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>able to play. It's sixty eight schools. You didn't make it,

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>all right, you can still play? Hey, do you want

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to still play basketball? That's what is the surprising part

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>of this, And it's maybe you know, the kids say no,

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:54.239
<v Speaker 2>we don't want to play anymore, okay, But it feels

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>like Rick Pattino was saying, Hey, you know what, we're

0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna get ready for next season. Okay, getting ready for

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>next season would be we can still practice because now

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 2>they can't now their season's over.

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Tod, what are you arrogant and too good about?

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 10>You know maybe yesteryear, but you didn't make the tournament,

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 10>so you're obviously not too good. You didn't make the tournament.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 10>And I think it's a no lose proposition other than

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 10>the fact that it looks arrogant to turn down the NIT.

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 10>If you play well and you destroy everybody, then you're

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 10>proving to everybody you played with a chip on your shoulder.

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 10>We should have been in the tournament. If you lose,

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 10>then that proves even more that you didn't belong in

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 10>the NCA tournament. If you bow out of the n H.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but we see teams college football teams when they

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 2>play in bowl games and they're not really into it

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>and then they lose, I can't say, well, that shows

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>that they weren't that good. I mean, you have to

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 2>want to play like you truly want to play and

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>want to win a championship. It's the NIT. You're playing

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>in New York Madison Square Garden. Eventually that has value

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to it. And another case, you know, opportunity to showcase

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 2>your Talentshi, if you want to.

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Play in the NBA.

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, seed, What if the NIT winner was guaranteed a

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 3>spot next year in the tournament, in the NCAA tournament.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the NCAA cares about the NIT. I don't,

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, because they kind of coexist. But the nc

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>DOUBLEA is really trying to put the NIT out of business.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if they go to ninety six teams, they're

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>really saying, NIT, thanks for the memories.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 5>Paul Rick Patino added that one of the reasons they

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 5>passed on the n IT bid is to focus on

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 5>the transfer portal because the season is over for them

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 5>and because they need seven or eight new players for

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 5>next season and they have to get to work on

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 5>recruiting and.

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 7>Hitting the point.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 5>M Okay, we say to those guys, have a lot

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 5>of play in the n IT because they're not to

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 5>be jettisoned.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:38.040
<v Speaker 4>We say, good morning.

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, our radio

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>affiliates around the country.

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 4>Poll question for hour two Seaton.

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm gonna put up the one about seating. Which

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 3>you'd rather have it based on, like resume or matchups?

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 7>Yes?

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Marvin.

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and they should probably blame schools like NC State,

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 9>who weren't even bubble teams. They were going to the

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 9>n and they ended up winning their conference champion. So

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 9>I definitely hurt a lot of the bubble teams.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>There were probably three or four conference champions that really

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>mess things up for a couple of schools.

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes, this is probably a really dumb question, but I

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 3>asked those a lot.

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 4>But aren't the.

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 3>NIT and the NCAA tournament all run by the same people.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 3>They're both NCAA tournaments.

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but the NCAA really cares about March madness because

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 2>they can make a lot of money.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll just say it.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 3>to get them to like, hey, what if we try

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 3>to figure this out together and instead of adding going

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 3>to ninety six teams, we just make the n a

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 3>little more valuable or something.

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 5>Easy with a thoughtful analysis.

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sorry, you're right, it makes way more sense.

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Easy with the measures.

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure they are battling it out with each other

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 3>to like bankrupt.

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Easy with the measured comments. Yeah, yeah, my bad. Yeah,

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>all right.

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.320

<v Speaker 2>By the way, Rory McElroy can take a little bit

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>of credit for Scotti Scheffler because he turned him onto

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 2>this mallet putter that he's been using and he has

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.640

<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 13>While start was the worst, that was North Carolina blowing

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 13>the APC tight home Bridle as the state. However, the

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 13>best was that.

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>A Jim Jim Jim, are you at work?

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you guys want to guess where Jim works Pauline.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm guessing he's in the plumbing industry.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Todd, Yeah, it did have a flushing kind of sound.

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it did sound like a toilet to me. Yeah,

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 3>I think it was actually a car going by, car

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 3>going by. All right, Marvin, what's Jim do for a living?

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 7>He's an electrician?

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 4>Electrician? Okay, Jim, I'm a truck driver.

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 13>I'm actually in my truck, but I'm having used.

0:14:58.920 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 7>My blue suit.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, Well.

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 13>Anyway, Well, my best one weekend is North Carolina rebounty

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 13>for last year's the Bottle and not only making the

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 13>tournament but being a number one seed, which I'm not

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 13>sure has ever been done before. Maybe Paulie would like

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 13>to research.

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 12>That and that would be a semi stat of the day.

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, what are we researching?

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 9>I think he said North Carolina not making the tournament

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 9>then being in number one seed the next season, I think.

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, that's pretty amazing the disaster last year to

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>where they are this year.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 10>Yes, yes, sneaky truck driver with a semi stat of the.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 7>Bloop bloop job I had.

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he realized that semi stat of the

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:54.960

<v Speaker 14>had fifty three points, thirty two rebounds, fourteen assists, twenty

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.840

<v Speaker 4>Quinn Tupple.

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>So the music got him there. He ran out of

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 2>ran out of time. Maybe we'll research that now.

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 7>What is it?

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>March eighth, nineteen sixty eight with Will Chamberlain. March eighteenth?

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Is that what it was?

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:18.640
<v Speaker 8>Marv?

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So today, by the way, I think I celebrated Saint

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Patty's Day Friday and Saturday and Sunday. I didn't realize

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.199
<v Speaker 2>that Sunday was Saint Patty's day until I walked by

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.199
<v Speaker 2>a pub and all of a sudden, I got friends

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>in there, and they're like, come on in.

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I go, what are you guys doing. I go to

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 4>Saint Patty's Day.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I go, Oh, my liver's already so sore.

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I already went. I already went to Minneapolis Saint Paul.

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I already celebrated Friday and Saturday. By the way, when

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you go out with guys who drink for a living,

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 2>keeper's heart, they're good at what they do. They yeah,

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 2>are veterans, Yes they are. That's why Dylan had a

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 2>great time, because he's he could work for a liquor company.

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me take a break. Jay Billis will

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 2>join us. Coming up next, more phone calls as well.

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll check in with the Pittsburgh Steelers in an hour

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 2>from now. Back after this Dan Patrick Show.

<v Speaker 1>We get tons and tons of fan mail every day.

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Piles of it.

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 6>In fact, Tony, why don't you open up one of

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 6>those letters right now and read what's inside?

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 15>Hey, listen to this, Dear Paulie and Tony, your sports

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 15>takes the dumbest and most terribly not that. Wait, open

0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 15>this other one, DEEA, Paulie and Tony, you suck more

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 15>than anyone. Wait, try this one, Dear Paulie and Tony,

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 15>you guys are the absolute best.

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 4>There you go, coming up with the stupidest take.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Forget it. Just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Show on the iHeart Radio app, app podcasts or wherever

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you get your podcasts.

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we had a caller who told us.

0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>On March eighteenth, nineteen sixty eight, Will Chamberlain recorded a

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>quintuple double fifty three points, thirty two rebounds, fourteen assists,

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty four blocks, eleven steals. He's believed to be the

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 2>only player to have ever achieved the elusive quintuple double.

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Why is it that we value and honor Babe Ruth

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 2>stats but not Wilt Chamberlain's. It just feels like, yeah,

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.680
<v Speaker 2>but that was Wilt, whereas Babe Ruth were like man

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 2>he won nearly one hundred games pitching and hit seven

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fourteen. Wilt just feels like, Yeah, that wasn't real.

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 2>But imagine twenty four blocks in a game. I don't

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>know when they started with keeping stats like steals.

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 4>I think was in the early eighties.

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about blocks, but it's kind of like

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>sacks in the NFL. I don't know how many block

0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>shots Bill Russell and Wil Chamberlain actually had, but we're

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>watching victor Ian Bayama. I think he had seven blocks

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>in the game yesterday.

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Palling block shots became an official NBA stat for

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 5>the seventy three seventy four season, the first year Wilt

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Chamberlain was out of basketball.

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Mmm coincidence. He was a defensive minded guy back then

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>later in his career with the Lakers. Jay billis ESPN

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.080
<v Speaker 2>college basketball analyst. He was on the call for NC

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 2>State the ACC Conference title game over North Carolina. He

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.199
<v Speaker 2>joins us on the program, how many career blocks do

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you think you had?

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 8>A duke? Me blocking somebody else's shot or my shot.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Well blocked?

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.160
<v Speaker 8>I said, I promise you I set a record.

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, you were an undersized center though.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, undersized, under athletic, under everything.

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Were you underestimated though?

0:20:55.400 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 8>Uh yeah, probably? Well, look I underestimate myself.

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 4>What do you have, Paulie?

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 5>In four years at Duke, I have j Billis with

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 5>thirty seven career blocks.

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, they didn't keep the stat of how many times

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>his shot was blocked.

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:10.959
<v Speaker 4>Now I'm looking for it.

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 8>Okay, it was more than that. Yeah, it was more

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 8>than that. But I was a position defender, Dan. I

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 8>was like the cover corner. They didn't grow towards, so

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 8>I didn't have to block a lot of shots. Okay,

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 8>you were like a Darrell Reevis. Nobody was going in

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 8>your direction, no question, I mean it was I got

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 8>my work done early.

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 4>As they said, Billis island there all right.

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So when you first saw the bracket, the first thing

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>that jumped down was what that Yukon had.

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 8>A really difficult bracket and there are a ton of

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 8>conference champions in their bracket. I still think they're the

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 8>best team and they'll come out of there. And I

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 8>thought Purdue had the easiest route for a number one seeds.

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 8>It's set up pretty well for them to get out

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 8>of there. But it's not like they don't have challenges

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 8>everybody has challengers, but they're not facing a team that

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 8>can uptempple them and turn them over, which I think

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 8>is one of the problems that they may face.

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Felt like the reaction was the seating that certain schools

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 2>conferences that may be too high too low. Your thoughts

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 2>on any objections there, Yeah.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.679
<v Speaker 8>I think there were a few seating issues, but some

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 8>of it had to do with I'm sure their bracketing principles.

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 8>I mean I thought, I kind of think Dan when

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 8>they say, well, you know, the Yukon region, the East region,

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 8>Yukon chose to be in that region, and then we

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 8>put everybody else in there based upon geography the closest

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 8>teams to that. And you know the first thing I

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 8>think of this, Wait a minute, USC and UCLA are

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 8>the big ten. Now they got to flat a record

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 8>for regular seat in the game, and you're worried about

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 8>geography for an NCAA tournament game. You know, that doesn't

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 8>make any sense to me. I think you seed it

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 8>according to the best teams, and you balance it as

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 8>well as you can. You don't want to be insensitive

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 8>to travel. You want to send you know, somebody out

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:06.360
<v Speaker 8>across country for no reason. When they're the same as

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 8>somebody else. But I tend to think, just do it

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 8>on a strict s curve and put them in the bracket.

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 8>Let's play this for the national championship, not to be

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, so that some fans have a bus drip.

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Any issue with setting up matchups? You know, I always

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 2>think of Texas Tech in Indiana when Bob Knight was

0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 2>at Texas Tech, like the potential for an interesting matchup.

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Any issues with the committee doing that.

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.199
<v Speaker 8>They say that they don't do it. I have a

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 8>hard time believing that there are way too many coincidences

0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 8>that occur. There's nothing they can do about. You know,

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:39.879
<v Speaker 8>if you know Rick Barnes is going to beat up

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 8>with Texas and the Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight,

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 8>yeah you can't. I can't deal with that. But when

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 8>you when they're on a collision course in the second round,

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 8>or you know, things come up in the first round,

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 8>you know they had a choice there.

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 4>How many teams can realistic, realistically win it all?

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.560
<v Speaker 8>You know? I haven't really done that sort of thing

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:02.360
<v Speaker 8>this year because it was such a weird year. Usually

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 8>it's around eight and I after looking at it, I

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 8>think it's about that you know somebody else can sneak

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 8>in there. There's a difference, Dan, I think in getting

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 8>to a final four and winning a national championship. You know,

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 8>when you get put into a regent with the Easter

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 8>or Midwest, whatever, seventy five percent of the best teams

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:23.440
<v Speaker 8>in the tournament are not in your region, So if

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 8>somebody falls down in your way, a lot of things

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 8>can happen. But once you get to the final four,

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 8>you know you're playing higher seeded, really good teams most

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.640
<v Speaker 8>of the time, and that's why we most often see

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 8>the highest seeded teams win these things.

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Has Danny Hurley become the face of college basketball? Men's

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 2>college basketball?

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:45.919
<v Speaker 8>He's getting there. He's the real deal. He's really an

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 8>outstanding coach, and he's fun like he's he's kind of

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 8>old school and how tough he is and demanding in

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:56.480
<v Speaker 8>practice and with his team. But then he's a normal

0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 8>joe off the court, and he's got these bizarre superstitions

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 8>that are bordering on needing therapy, you know, like the

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 8>underwear and socks and you know, wearing the hat that

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 8>he wore last year before the first round, stuff like that.

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 8>My favorite one was I don't know what they call

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 8>these things. It's like these you're suspended. We were suspending

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 8>some kind of liquid I think, and they closed it

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 8>closed the it's almost like a coffin. You know, you're

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.239
<v Speaker 8>in there. What do it call sensory deprivation. Yeah, And

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.400
<v Speaker 8>he went in one of those things, and he thought

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 8>it was going to be for an hour, and his

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 8>staff had made the appointment for two hours. So after

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 8>an hour, he thought he was trapped in there. And

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:40.200
<v Speaker 8>that would have been a good one to see Danny

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 8>Hurley trying to fight his way out of that thing

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 8>thinking he was trapped.

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:47.919
<v Speaker 2>He's Jay Bills, ESPN College Basketball analyst. We just noticed

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>that the transfer portal is open in college basketball.

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Why why now? Why are they opening it while the

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 4>tournament's going.

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.120
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's just sort of their timing for the way

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 8>some of these school calendars work the way I understand it.

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 8>Look, the transfer portal overall is I think a good idea,

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 8>but they could certainly regulate it better and have the

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 8>dates work out a little better. I mean, I think

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.919
<v Speaker 8>you'll hear most coaches say that as soon as the

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 8>season ends, they're busier than they were during the season.

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 8>Because of the transfer portal, they're having to sift through

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 8>and call a million people and evaluate players and all

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 8>that stuff because that's become the new recruiting model, and

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.880
<v Speaker 8>it's impacted their high school recruiting. You're not seeing high

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 8>school recruits valued as highly as they were five years ago.

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.119
<v Speaker 8>But that's just the nature of the business now. The

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 8>NCAA put the rule in and they're having to live

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 8>with it.

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Should we cap the number of years you can be

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 2>eligible to play college basketball?

0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:53.959
<v Speaker 8>Well, they do. It's basically you have you have four years,

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 8>but they do make exceptions when you have like a

0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 8>catastrophic injury or illness or something like that. And then

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 8>we've had over the last several years this extra COVID year,

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 8>so you're seeing that. That's really the difference in seeing

0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 8>guys come back. I don't think you would have seen

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 8>as many guys as many players stay and play if

0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:17.159
<v Speaker 8>the COVID year and NIL didn't overlap. Like, there are

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 8>a number of players going, why shouldn't I come back.

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:21.880
<v Speaker 8>I'm making a lot of money, and if I go

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:24.880
<v Speaker 8>into the into the NBA process, you know, maybe they

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 8>put me in the G League or I have to

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 8>go overseas or something like that. It may be better

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 8>for them to go ahead and say so we're the nil.

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 8>We've seen retention of players, which I can't imagine isn't

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 8>a good thing for the NCAA. They get another year

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 8>of service out of the players, even longer than that

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:46.360
<v Speaker 8>in some cases, and the players are getting more education,

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 8>which they say they're about. So how can anybody complain

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 8>about that?

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Trying to figure out Zach Edie that being the biggest

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 2>big man in the tournament, but it's still about guard play,

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like, how do you assess I mean normally

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 2>that that'd be the guy where you go, they got

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>the big man, But I don't know, is it that

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>much of a bonus for Purdue over everybody else?

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think you could have said that back in

0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 8>the day when big guys were more a focal point

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 8>of the game. You know, Ralph Sampson played four years

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 8>at Virginia and never won a title because the guys

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.679
<v Speaker 8>around him didn't hit shots when when they needed to.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 8>And Joe Barry Carroll was a great big guy at Purdue.

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 8>We can go on and on about it. Now now

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:31.920
<v Speaker 8>UCLA won with big guys. Other team golling with big

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 8>guys doesn't mean you can't win with it. But the

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 8>game's changed, as you know, and you don't see many

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 8>guys seven to four and that dominant. But Purdue has

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 8>had a couple of problems in the last few years.

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 8>Their guards. Last year refreshment, and they weren't the most

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 8>athletic team around Edie. Edie was dominant against Barley Dickinson,

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 8>but his teammates just didn't make shots. I don't think

0:28:55.000 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 8>they're going to be subject to the same kind of

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 8>upset this year, but they could get eat There's no

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 8>question that somebody could clip them. And they could very

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 8>well play Tennessee again. They played earlier this year and

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 8>Purdue one in Maui. But I still think Purdue is

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 8>a is a prohibited favorite to come out of that region.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 2>You've got some schools, some big name schools that are

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>not going to compete in the n T you know,

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Saint John's and pitt and Syracuse. I always thought that

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:27.640
<v Speaker 2>that would help you for the following year. Get some

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 2>of your younger players. They get an opportunity, and I

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know if these kids are just saying, look, we

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 2>don't want to play in the n it Your thoughts

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 2>on some of these coaches having to come out and say, look,

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 2>we're preparing, you know, Rick Patina, we're preparing for next year.

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, Dan, I mean, I know, going to

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.640
<v Speaker 8>the n it T is a real downer and some

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 8>teams go in it and they want to prove that

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 8>if they, you know, they win the n i T,

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 8>like there, it's going to be a big middle finger

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 8>to the n SAA Tournament selection committee. And the truth

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 8>is a selection may doesn't care. I mean, they care

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 8>about the process, but they don't care if you win

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 8>the n I T. And there are some teams that

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 8>go in then I T they're disappointed. It's the end

0:30:06.920 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 8>of the year and they go in and lay an

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 8>egg and it wasn't worth the effort. So it just

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 8>kind of depends how the I think, how the players feel.

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 8>And you know, I kind of like that if the

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 8>players are being taken into consideration, you know, I kind

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 8>of like that they're being listened to, Like why go

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 8>through all that if if you really don't want to

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 8>play it? And look, I mean, what was the last

0:30:28.360 --> 0:30:30.520
<v Speaker 8>time you you remember who won the n I T.

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't remember. I don't watch it. I shouldn't say

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 8>that because it's on our network, but I don't watch it.

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm I'm focused on something else. It's a it's like

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 8>these bowl games, you know, like I don't care who

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.280
<v Speaker 8>plays in the Poland Lead either Bowl. Maybe I maybe

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 8>I'd bet on it with a friend of mine because

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 8>there was nothing else to do. But I'm not watching it.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 4>If I gave you an all time final four, what

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 4>would come to mind?

0:30:54.560 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 8>All time final as far as the best one, Yeah,

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 8>seventeen was great when Villanova beat North Carolina. I wind

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 8>up thinking about moments more than anything. Like it's funny, Dan, Like,

0:31:09.880 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 8>I don't really know what makes a great tournament. Like

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:15.880
<v Speaker 8>some tournaments where the play is off the charts good,

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 8>but we don't have as many little guys winning, or

0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 8>there aren't many buzzer beaters. People say, well, there's been

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 8>a blot tournament. I think people kind of expect that

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 8>it's going to be crazy, and if it's not crazy,

0:31:27.920 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 8>then it's not that entertaining. But then you get to

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 8>the final four it if you don't have recognizable names,

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 8>then people don't care for it either. So I'm not

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 8>sure what's great. I just love seeing great teams play

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 8>and we get that just about every year, so I

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.320
<v Speaker 8>can't remember a bad year for the tournament. There was

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 8>one year where Connecticut played Butler. I think it's twenty

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 8>eleven played Butler in the final. It was probably the

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 8>worst played final game ever. Nobody really seems to remember that.

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 8>They just remember who wins.

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I say this every year that we love the chaos

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>and then get to the Elite eight final four. Then

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>we went the blue bloods like, okay, that was nice.

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you do have the novelty or the Cinderella,

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>then you want to see them go all the way

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and win it. Then it becomes a great story. But

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>it'll probably be the same this year where there'll be

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>upsets and it's crazy and madness, and then all of

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you're going to have four blue bloods. Do

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a Cinderella team to keep an eye on?

0:32:25.360 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 2>There are a few. I think Drake is one. I

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 2>think New Mexico and Nevada are both very good teams.

0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 2>James Madison has a chance to pull an upset over Wisconsin.

0:32:35.520 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 2>James Madison, I think they've only lost three times and

0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:42.440
<v Speaker 2>beat Michigan State at Michigan State in November.

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 8>But it's funny, Dan, because of all the upsets and

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 8>the smaller conferences, the twelve through sixteen seeds aren't quite

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 8>as powerful as they've been in other years. Maybe powerful

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 8>is the wrong word, but the metrics say that they're

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 8>not as big a threat. That doesn't mean individual teams

0:33:02.080 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 8>like Drake out of the Missouri Valley Conference. They have

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:08.480
<v Speaker 8>Tucker Debriz who averages about twenty two a game. He's

0:33:08.520 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 8>not quite as good as as Doug McDermott was at Creighton,

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 8>but he's pretty damn good, and they can they can

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 8>beat somebody. They're capable. McNee State is I'm not sure

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:22.400
<v Speaker 8>whether they're McNeice and now or McNeese State, but they're

0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 8>playing Gonzaga in the first round, and Gonzaga is still

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 8>very good. They're not as good as they were the

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 8>last couple of years, but McNeese can force a lot

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 8>of turnovers and uh and they've got a player named

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:37.000
<v Speaker 8>Shahade Wells who can really take the ball from you.

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 8>So they could be a threat. But I'm not sure.

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 8>I'm seeing that many teams. But but I didn't see

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 8>Saint Peter's ripping off all the games they won either

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 8>you know, you just don't see you don't think of

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 8>a fifteen seed, and even when you've watched them play,

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:55.040
<v Speaker 8>because sometimes they catch fire, like NC State in the

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 8>uh in the a SEC tournament, I wouldn't have given

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 8>you a nickel for their chance answers to win four games,

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 8>let alone five. And it was one of the most

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 8>amazing things I have ever seen and the most interesting

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 8>thing for me in the first couple of days of

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:12.720
<v Speaker 8>the tournament are going to be is there any gas

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.000
<v Speaker 8>left in the tank for NC State after that? Because

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 8>they're they're not only like banged up and injured, but

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 8>I just can't imagine how emotionally drained. And then the

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:24.440
<v Speaker 8>NCAA gives a Thursday game they can't give a Freday.

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 2>I had stephen A Smith on last hour and I said,

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:32.400
<v Speaker 2>who's the best shooter at ESPN taking away the NBA guys?

0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 2>And stephen A said, he's the best shooter in the building.

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I will give you the opportunity to answer that.

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 8>You know, I am I am always interested in what

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 8>sixty year old men are good at, because you know,

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 8>it's so it's so like edifying for me to think

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 8>that all of us are still really good at something like?

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 8>Who cares? We're done? Man, I just want to make

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.600
<v Speaker 8>sure I can get out of this chair as soon

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 8>as the interviews over without full down and hurting myself.

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:04.400
<v Speaker 8>So I'm not putting myself in any of these contests.

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 8>I don't even play pickleball. I'm going to get injured

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 8>playing pickleball. I want no part if that's going to

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.719
<v Speaker 8>affect my golf schedule. I'm not playing pickball. I don't care.

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 4>See, you don't care if steven A is a better

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 4>shooter than.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:19.279
<v Speaker 8>You, No, why would I care about that. What I

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.919
<v Speaker 8>would care is if we're playing golf and there's money

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 8>on the line, then I'd want to know how good

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 8>he is. But he'd be the great guy to play

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:29.120
<v Speaker 8>against because he would go I am a plus four.

0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 8>That'd be fantastic.

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Good to talk to you. Well, we'll talk to you

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.200

<v Speaker 7>Best and worst of the weekend.

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 10>For best, North Carolina State taking down the tar Hill

0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:36.920
<v Speaker 10>Saturday night in the ACC Conference Final five wins and

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.439
<v Speaker 10>five nights, their first conference championship in thirty seven years.

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 12>Good job by them going on that run.

0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 10>Worst also on side of the one seed Houston getting

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 10>humiliated in the Big twelve title game by the seven

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:49.279
<v Speaker 10>seed of Iowa State. They were down by as much

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 10>as thirty lost by twenty eight sixty nine for the.

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 4>Cyclones forty one for the Koogs.

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 3>See no counter my worst of the weekend Seaton Hall

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:01.319
<v Speaker 3>got screwed. They should have been in the tournament. My

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:04.799
<v Speaker 3>best of the weekend the stakes that we had in

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Minneapolis Saturday night.

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:12.240
<v Speaker 3>It was a place called Manny's at Manny's. Yes, that's

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 3>that's a hell of a place. They know what they're doing.

0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah they do, Yeah, they do.

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:17.319
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 4>Did you have a worst of the weekend?

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I'd be happy to repeat it. My worst of

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 3>the weekend, Seaton All they should have been in the tournament. Yeah, Marvin,

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 3>how about you?

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 9>Best of the weekend is Temple taking probably Seaton Hall

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 9>spot in the tournament. They won the AAC tournament.

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 4>That's your best?

0:37:34.640 --> 0:37:37.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, because it's madness, okay, rude, okay, I'm sorry, guys.

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 4>Seating is right behind you.

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.640
<v Speaker 9>Oh see, And I'm sorry. It's all love though. Really

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 9>that's my best of the weekend. Worst of the weekend

0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 9>Julius Rollins from Kent State. Kent State goes up by

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 9>one with five seconds left. Julius Rollins intentionally files he

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 9>didn't know the score right, he lost count time and score.

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:01.800
<v Speaker 9>He did not know it, and he filed the Akron

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:05.440
<v Speaker 9>player acronplayer. His two free throws, Kent State loses the

0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 9>mac Championship and they're out.

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. His coach was like, what you He's holding his head, like,

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:11.359
<v Speaker 4>what are you doing?

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:12.319
<v Speaker 7>What'd you just do?

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 4>PAULI bestin worst.

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:15.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure he's glad to get the shout out by

0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 5>Marvin A national radio TV too, very thoughtful best of

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:19.360
<v Speaker 5>the weekend.

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:20.360
<v Speaker 7>This is a steaky one.

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers Shoheyotani could play in the field this season. Dave

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 5>Roberts of the LA Dodgers gave an update on Tohani.

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.440
<v Speaker 5>He's going to start a light throwing program as he

0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 5>ramps up. He's not going to pitch this year, but

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 5>that might allow him even to play in the outfield

0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 5>at a certain points. But there's been a lot of

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:37.680
<v Speaker 5>good news about his arm health and his possibility of

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:40.120
<v Speaker 5>pitching again. And I wonder if there's going to be

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 5>based off Otani and this doctor out there, maybe in

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 5>three or four years. Tommy John surgery is not a year,

0:38:46.000 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 5>it's four months. I remember Dan, when we were younger,

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:51.960
<v Speaker 5>ACL surgery meant maybe your career was over for a

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 5>Gail Sayers, but then an Adrian Peterson a year later

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:57.759
<v Speaker 5>is rushing for two thousand yards. I just think that

0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 5>maybe five years from now. Tommy John surgery is a setback.

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but the same doctor operated on Aaron Rodgers operated

0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 2>on Shohyo Ton.

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:08.839
<v Speaker 5>And maybe achilles could be six months instead of a year.

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. My worst of the weekend.

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:14.839
<v Speaker 5>This is a toughye. The women's college basketball tournament. Now,

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 5>when you're putting together Iowa and LSU, which you want

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.400
<v Speaker 5>to see play again, they put them in the same regional,

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:23.239
<v Speaker 5>which means it's likely that Iowa and LSU will face

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 5>each other in Nancay Tournament in the Elite eight, which

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 5>is nice and it's probably a probably the smart thing

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 5>to ensure they play each other. But the entire country

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:34.239
<v Speaker 5>wanted to see LSU and Iowa in a rematch in

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.759
<v Speaker 5>the final four or the final game. They didn't want

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 5>to take the risk. And I think the downside is worse.

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Either LSU or i will not make the final four

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.160
<v Speaker 5>this year. Yea, and that is I think a big

0:39:45.200 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 5>mistake by the seating committee.

0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I you can thank me later. But the first pitch

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:55.360
<v Speaker 2>thrown out in the Dodgers game in South Korea, the

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:59.280
<v Speaker 2>person throwing out the first pitch almost looks like it's ai,

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:04.080
<v Speaker 2>like it's the person's not real, But she is real.

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 2>She's an actress in South Korea. But I just know

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:13.960
<v Speaker 2>that every Dodger player was interested in this, this actress

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>throwing out the person. Very engaged, very very engaged. I

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.400
<v Speaker 2>think everybody was looking to shoot their shot there with

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the actress. Yes, but she's an actresses the pitch though,

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 2>who cares?

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:34.120
<v Speaker 4>That's not getting a lot of cop who cares? Nobody?

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nobody was happier to hear that news than Todd

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:39.600
<v Speaker 2>when I came in today.

0:40:39.680 --> 0:40:41.840
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, she appears to be made of porcelain or some

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 10>kind of.

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she doesn't look real, but she's an actress, famous actress,

0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess in South Korea.

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:48.600
<v Speaker 11>Uh.

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Final results of the Pole question for hour two.

0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 3>I'd be happy to give you that, Dan, all right,

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.719
<v Speaker 3>we've got up there. Would you prefer the priority for

0:40:58.840 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 3>tournament seating BT teams right best to worst or the

0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 3>best matchups?

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Right now?

0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Best to worst is winning with eighty three percent of vote. Okay,

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:08.600
<v Speaker 3>people would rather that over more interesting matchup?

0:41:08.600 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the more interesting matchups happen in the

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 2>second round. Hey, if you win and they win, and

0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:17.239
<v Speaker 2>then you're going to meet this team that coach is

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.840
<v Speaker 2>going to coach against his former school. You know, a

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:24.640
<v Speaker 2>player who played at North Carolina now maybe playing for Arizona.

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:26.440
<v Speaker 4>They might meet each other, yes.

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 10>Time like that Texas Tennessee game a long time Texas

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 10>coach Rick Barnes. If Texas and Tennessee win their first game,

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 10>they'll play each other in the round two. So that's fun.

0:41:33.680 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Todd.

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Hour two in the books, we'll check in with the

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh Steelers.

0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:39.920
<v Speaker 4>They had a good weekend.
