1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: What's going on? Everybody? It is a holiday weekend. Aeron Torres,

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: it's his holiday just because he always goes to the

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: NCAA Final four. He may join us in the third

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: hour of this show where chatting with him, see if

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna be finished up with his duties in Indianapolish.

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of finished up Arizona, they can go ahead and

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: send the old flights home.

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm Jason Martin Arnie Spaniers with me.

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: Arnie Spanier, who went to the University of Arizona graduated.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: Now I gotta say you and your frat brothers, Arnie. Yes,

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: probably good that you guys didn't go.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 3: As we're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 4: I'm not talking tonight. I don't want to talk tonight.

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Well, Arizona can't talk like this is. Let me here's

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: the problem. Like this stinks because I feared we might

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: get this. And I don't mean one way or the

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: other because this was such an awesome matchup on paper.

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: So often it ends up being something like this. And look,

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: Michigan has been insanely dominant. You're old enough to remember this, Arnie,

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: But I remember an Arizona team that went to the

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: Final four back in nineteen eighty eight that lost to Oklahoma. Yeah,

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: and then Oklahoma then went on to lose to Danny

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: and the Miracles in that championship game. My dad had

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: it on videotape. I watched that final. I can't even

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: tell you how many times, but I watched that Final

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: four too, and that Arizona team had I think Steve

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: Kerr and Sean Elliott. Like it was a loaded team.

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely loaded team.

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: They got beat by twenty in that game by Oklahoma,

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: and it was again, it was supposed to be this

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: heavyweight fight. This one felt like I mean this. You

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: had the guys on the broadcast before him and saying

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: that they've been more excited for this than any matchup

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: that they had ever covered in the tournament and all this,

36
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: it was all the talk all week long, and within

37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: about five or six minutes, you realize real quick, if

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: something didn't change, this was a gigantic mismatch. And unfortunately

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: for Arizona, as there's still you know, over ten minutes

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: left in this game. It's basically a thirty point game,

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: and I'm not even sure it's that close.

42
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's what makes this tough that you

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: know the game was over in the first like five

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: minutes of the game, if it even was that. But

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: that's what makes this tough. I I mean, first of all,

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm a bigger fan than you guys. I always said

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: that the playing so you don't understand the pain that

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: this will cause.

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: Meep, I hate that for you, man, I'm not going

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: to try and rub it in like yeah, for Arizona fans,

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: this is yeah, this is just straight up heartbreak.

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: It is. And I don't want this loss that we

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: have here to Michigan overtake what we've accomplished this year.

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: I mean we only had two losses, won the Texas

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: Tech in overtime when they had top and on the team,

56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: and won the Kansas which was on the road. Otherwise,

57
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: it's been a phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal year. Unfortunately, Michigan a

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: much much better team. And I just don't want this

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: to you know, you know, people say, oh, Arizona was overrated,

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: or Arizona this they won the Big Twelve championship, they

61
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: won the Big Twelve conference, so it has just been

62
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: a dream year. They got to the final four. It's

63
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: been unbelievable. They get to keep their coach. He's gonna

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: be around. They've got a great recruited class come again.

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: So I mean, yes, it does hurt, but there's good

66
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: things in the future for Arizona. I'm wondering how many

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: of the guys are gonna end up coming back because

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: of a loss like this. It's gonna be interesting to

69
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: see what happens there.

70
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the thing that's interesting about Arizona is

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: they're just.

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: Not made.

73
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: To play against Michigan when you really look at it,

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: because they're not a team that thrives on the outside.

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: They don't just three point shoot you to death. They're

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: not a great jump shooting team. They like to bang

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: down low, they like to be physical with you, force

78
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: the issue. You can't do that against Michigan. That's why

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: Monday could be a little different because Yukon loves taking threes,

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: They love standing out there and doing that, and then

81
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: Reid can be there to try and get those rebounds.

82
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: Difference here is you've got seven to four Mara, who

83
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: is just an absolute monster on the glass, and it's

84
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: just a defensive force. I just this Michigan team, the

85
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: way they have looked in this tournament. I think Iron

86
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: Eagle gave the stat they're a plus twenty two point

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: five point differential in this tournament.

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: That's preposterous.

89
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be going into.

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: A national title game and some of the games that

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: they have played and the teams that they've played, including

93
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: this Arizona team, who I mean, they've absolutely rubbed them.

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: I mean they've they've just blown them out, even saying

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: it disrespectfully, They've just absolutely mauled them.

96
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: This reminds me of un l V when they were better,

97
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: yes than everybody else, but they lost one time in

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 4: the finals. So you have to go ahead, excuse me,

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: you have to make sure. If you're Michigan, you have

100
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 4: to finish this office. Like I said, you could have Yukon.

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: They're gonna be about a five and half point favorite

102
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: over Yukon. For money, I would assume ride around there.

103
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 4: I'm maybe I'm off on that, but that's that's my guess.

104
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: Remember with the injury that they'll have to what Luxembourg,

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: that's going.

106
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: To go ahead, to Belgium, to Belgium, Lindenborg, Lindenborg, I'm sorry,

107
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: that's gonna that's gonna go ahead and.

108
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 4: Hurt the line a little bit, maybe a couple of points.

109
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, Ja mart So I'm saying

110
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: about five and a half six, Why you think it's

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 4: gonna be different?

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: I felt like it might be more than that. But yeah,

113
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: I mean you could be right. You certainly know Line

114
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: is way better than me. But either way, like if

115
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: Michigan looks the way that they've looked in this last

116
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: couple of rounds, I mean, Connecticut's got no chance either.

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: But nobody is beating this team the way that they

118
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: play now. Now, Linda borg I was surprised he came

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: out in the second half, and then Tracy Wolfson said

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: on the broadcast that you know, they the trainers had

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: cleared him and so they left it up to him

122
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: as to whether or not he wanted to come back in,

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: and he did. And in my head, I'm just like, well,

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the player is almost always gonna want to

125
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: go back in, right right.

126
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: I mean I don't think I would chance now I

127
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: wouldn't either.

128
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't thought. I think he's done now. I

129
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: mean I see him on the bike right now, right

130
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: on the shot. But I don't know if I'm I mean,

131
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: we've seen guys come back in try to and then

132
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, an mcl spraying becomes an Achilles

133
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: and then you know you're done, Like you're gonna need

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: him on Monday. I don't think you need him to

135
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: beat Arizona tonight.

136
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: If I would have told you that Caudo started the

137
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: at halftime was gonna be two out of sixteen or

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: fourteen fourteen, excuse me, and their best player was in

139
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: the locker room Bury with two fouls and a serious injury.

140
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: You said, oh my, oh my, Arizona is looking real

141
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: good for the second half. But unfortunately Arizona just never

142
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: got it going. Burris never got it going.

143
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: You know, he just Burdi's has been bad and sad

144
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: and Jade and Bradley just can't stay on the floor

145
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: because he picked up out especially like what were you doing?

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: Like and don't you put your hand out when Cadell

147
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: was trying to get past you?

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: With that, He's got a lot, he has a habit

149
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: of doing that a lot too. I've always surprised that

150
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: he hasn't picked up more offensive fouls than he had

151
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: during the year. So he gets away with that Mokkrebos

152
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: does the same thing too, very physical, uh, Toby, you could.

153
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Almost call him, you could almost call him for a

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: charge virtually every time he turns to the basket, because

155
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: when he's got the ball in his hands and add

156
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: his size, he leans forward to create space. And I

157
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: think that officials have just kind of gotten used to

158
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: how he plays and so they don't call it. But

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: anytime you call it, you could justify it because of

160
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: how physical he plays.

161
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: And I think what makes the whole thing worse the

162
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: cherry on top of the Sunday I guess for just

163
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: bitterness is that Dave Portinoy is going to be happy,

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: So I you know that that kind of yeah, that man,

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: that that's gonna eat me up alive. I saw him

166
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: on Twitter. He's at the game. So you're lucky. I see.

167
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: I'm glad I didn't go to the game with my

168
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: fraternity brothers. What a waste of money that would have been.

169
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Well maybe maybe. I mean, honestly, Arizona could potentially just

171
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: blame you guys because you didn't come. Oh yeah, they

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: did not have the you know, they did not have

173
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: their rabbit's foot, essentially because Keg and Resin and the

174
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: boys as well.

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: They're texting right now on the phone. Said I'm disappointed. Yeah,

176
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: it's not going well. But I told my wife if

177
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go, I'll just save the money and

178
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: we'll go to Hawaii or something like that. We'll take

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: an so.

180
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that's a that's gonna be

181
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: a nice parting gift.

182
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I mean, that's all I'm gonna get out

183
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: of this. It's it's not been pretty. And you know,

184
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: I bet you get far superior. I I'm wondering, you know,

185
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: how this team is going to be next year. Also,

186
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 4: didn't they get some commit at that time?

187
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: They got to commit at halftime on the Fab five broadcast.

188
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I didn't know his name, but I didn't.

189
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: Even know there was a FAB five broadcast.

190
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: I didn't about it.

191
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. There was a concert going on my TV,

192
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: so I don't know what between games. Oh good, my bad.

193
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Concerts and just just too much going on there.

194
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll go ahead and do this now because

196
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: I sent this message to you guys. Yeah, as it

197
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: was happening when the Chainsmokers hit the stage for a

198
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: four song performance between games. I'm just like, do we

199
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: need this? Do we need like an hour between these

200
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: two games when they're being played in prime time?

201
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: I thought it was a half hour between games. I

202
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 4: didn't know it was it gonna be.

203
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: Bad me either? Me either.

204
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: I thought the exact same thing.

205
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: And in my head, I'm just like, I mean, how

206
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: long are you asking children to stay up to watch

207
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: your you know? And this was the marquee performance. Not

208
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: everything needs to be the Super Bowl? Fellas, Like, it

209
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: is eleven, it's past eleven on the East Coast, it's

210
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: a holiday weekend, it's Easter Sunday tomorrow.

211
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not about the kids. This isn't about

212
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: people that are under well, it should be years old.

213
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: This is about college students in college vans.

214
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: I guess when I was up. Let's just when I

215
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: grew up. I remember watching this before I was ten

216
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: years old. Like I said, I mean, I maybe things

217
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: have changed and maybe kids just don't care anymore. But

218
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: I just why was it?

219
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: Why is it not on a Friday Sunday? You want

220
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: to explain that to me?

221
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 2: Well, because the women are right, Well, you can move

222
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: that around.

223
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: I mean that's I.

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: Mean, you could, but well it's always been the Saturday

225
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: and then Monday night is Championship Monday, which I mean,

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't know why you wouldn't do the Championship on

227
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: Sunday except that that Monday night just became kind of

228
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: it was just so unique because there was no postseason

229
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: college basketball that took place on Mondays, and so it

230
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: was just that one game would take place on Monday.

231
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: Nothing else during the tournament took place on Monday. You

232
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: had that whole center stage on Monday Prime Time, which

233
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: was a pretty solid piece of real estate for CBS

234
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: or whoever controlled the rights at the time, and so

235
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: I think that it just kind of stuck there in

236
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: the Final four being on Saturday. I do generally like

237
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: Friday is the worst sport, the worst television night possible basically,

238
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: but Sunday is obviously really good, especially if you can

239
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: get a game seven or something like that. So a

240
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: championship game on a Sunday would usually be a good thing,

241
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: right right, Yeah, Even so, it's just kind of like,

242
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: I just we don't need fifty minutes and a concert

243
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: and multiple music artists and like gimmicks with the turner

244
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: crew and all this other stuff like.

245
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: That was bad.

246
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: There's just no need for all this, Man, what do

247
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: you question there were Yes, was not very good.

248
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: Nate Smith knows Smith that thing.

249
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like they're trying a little bit too hard,

250
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: Like there's no need for all this, Like we had

251
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: one game, give us a reasonable amount of time, and

252
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: get the second one out there. There's no reason for

253
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: an hour or however long it was. It was close

254
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: to an hour if it wasn't an hour between the

255
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: first and second game, Like, there's no reason to have

256
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: to fill that kind of time. And the fans.

257
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that they needed that much of a

258
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: rest either.

259
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: I'm surprised they went ahead and did that. I thought that,

260
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: you know, maybe we're just gonna get more you know,

261
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: breakdown and more you know, highlights from earlier in the

262
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: tournament and stuff like that. I was unprepared for that.

263
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, oh do I I don't need this concert.

264
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: I actually muted it and did some stuff getting ready

265
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: for the show, you know before I actually paid attention

266
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: to that.

267
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: To keep showing Mark Few yeah in the crowd, like

268
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: he just one of Tommy Lloyd's best friends of course

269
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: Tommy was his you know, his assistant kind of twenty

270
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: years to have his for years and years and years.

271
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: And I know I Few got put into the Hall

272
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: of Fame, right, But maybe stop showing him because he

273
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: doesn't look very happy. No, well he looks sad because

274
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: his best friend is getting embarrassed on national television.

275
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: Well he always looks like that, to be honest with you.

276
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: He always has that sour puss look on his face.

277
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: But you're right there. They're very good friends. As a

278
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: matter of fact, that was the rumor is that Few

279
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: was good friends with the North Carolina crew Roy Williams,

280
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: and that's why Tommy Woyd was the favorite to take

281
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: over the North Carolina job. But thank goodness, he decided

282
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: to go ahead and stay in two side. As a

283
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: I think he also has a great recruiting class coming in.

284
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: Two guys that are in the top ten. I believe

285
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: in those rankings. Whatever you want to say about those.

286
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: So I think that what are we doing, Michigan, What

287
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: are we doing?

288
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Linda borg is coming back into the game with seven

289
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: to ten left, Michigan up twenty.

290
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: Okay, they're just.

291
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: They're just asking for it. I'm here to tell you

292
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: you're just asking for it.

293
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: Well, you don't have a bad ankle, then, as far

294
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: as I'm concerned, when you're coming back into a game

295
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,479
Speaker 4: up by twenty.

296
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: I mean sitting, they're gingerly walking. You can see gingerly

297
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: walking on it. Maybe he doesn't want it to get

298
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: too stiff, but I mean, you've got two days. This

299
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: is just Do they think that you were you were

300
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: begging for disaster right now?

301
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they think this is some comeback because

302
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: they cut it down the nineteen. I wouldn't have get

303
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: him back into the court unless it was like ten

304
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: or less.

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's I don't think it's going to get

306
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: to that point. But yeah, again, there is no need

307
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: for him to be on the floor at all right now.

308
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: And hopefully everything's gonna be fine, but you just this

309
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: is a major risk.

310
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I'm actually shocked, especially because it's such

311
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: a short turnaround for Monday's game. Either he feels a

312
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: lot better or they're you know, they're a little bit

313
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: worried about this, which I can't believe they are because

314
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: they're up by twenty one. So yeah, I ain't gotta

315
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: worried about it.

316
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: They can't be worried about this game right now.

317
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to get him out immediately. I don't

318
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: know why you would chance this. And you're right, he

319
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: is walking gingerly. You could tell how bad he was

320
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: heart when he went into the locker room for crying

321
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 4: out loud. Yeah, I mean this right there and then

322
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 4: I don't think he should have come back in this

323
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: game based on what happened.

324
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: They were by sixty at that time. I mean, sometimes

325
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: you got to save the player from himself. I don't

326
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: think that they asked him to go back into the game.

327
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: What do you think he put himself back in.

328
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I mean he was on the bike,

329
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: he's riding the bike. He's your best player and you

330
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: don't need him in this game. And he's got an

331
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: MCL spray. Now, I don't know how serious it is,

332
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: but they've got him back out here on the floor

333
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: to do what exactly? What are you trying to prove?

334
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: What?

335
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: To win? By thirty? By the way, does guess does

336
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: he have one more game as a coach in Michigan?

337
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: Is he still being rumored for the North Carolina job

338
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: or no, that's gone, By the way.

339
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: I think that's gone. I think that's gone.

340
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that commit and everything, the commit that they announced

341
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: the halftime and all that. I think he's the number

342
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: eleven player in the country, five star guard, So I mean,

343
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: I doubt that that is in play for Dusty May.

344
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: One thing I did see was that Dusty May's last

345
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: time here in the Final four was with that nine

346
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: ceed FAU team, right, and San Diego State hit that

347
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: buzzer beat or prayer and knocked them out in that game.

348
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: And the team that he would have played is Dan

349
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: Hurley's yukon team, And looks like now he's going to

350
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: play Dan Hurley's shoot on team in a championship this

351
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: time around. But just I'm baffled that twenty three is

352
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: on the floor from Michigan. So we'll come back, we'll continue.

353
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: This game will be nearing its close. Unfortunately, there's not

354
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: much to break down no about this game.

355
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 6: Now.

356
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: We are going to talk a good bit about the

357
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: first game and there's a lot more to get to.

358
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: They just showed.

359
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Uh was that Bogdanovich that they just showed.

360
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: I can't remember. I always say when I see him. Now,

361
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: all I think of is Lurch and that's a Charles

362
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: Barkley thing. He called him Lurch back in the day,

363
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: and so I don't want to get his name wrong,

364
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: but I think that was his bobon Or.

365
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: By the way, you don't even have to be a

366
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: good coach anymore to be successful. You just need a

367
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: bunch of nil money, right, I mean, yeah, that's what

368
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: it's all about. I could, I could be a great

369
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: coach if you just give me a boatload event il money.

370
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 4: I can be off players do no.

371
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So Linda Board just sat down, so we'll come back.

372
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: We'll address this and what you just said. I want

373
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: to talk about more as well, because that's another text

374
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: I said about the state of college athletics and where

375
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: it is headed. So we probably can have that discussion.

376
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: We'll do that. On the other side, we are live

377

398
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: right here on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart App. Well,

399
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: all we have to do is finish the last two

400
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: thirty four to give you a final. Michigan I think

401
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: has scored ninety in every game in this tournament. They're

402
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: at the line to do that right now. They're up

403
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: eighty eight, sixty eight to thirty four, remaining a date

404
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: with Yukon on Monday night. As Yukon one by nine

405
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: over Illinois. Yukon graduate Aaron Torres has confirmed that he

406
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: will indeed come on live from Indianapol. I don't want

407
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: to show.

408
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: I don't want him to be appy.

409
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: You know, we were so close to the Arnie versus

410
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: Torres national title game and it's been robbed. I feel robbed,

411
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: quite frankly.

412
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 4: I feel rob that's for sure, and I don't want

413
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: them to be happy. So now I got a root

414
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 4: for Michigan, but I don't want Portnoyd to be happy.

415
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 4: So either way, it's it's gonna suck.

416
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, like I said, I'm not gonna revel in it.

417
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: Not that I mean I was not that I was

418
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: pulling against Arizona, but I'm not gonna do any more

419
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: than I have to to do my job. But I

420
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: will say this. Tell me if this was necessary.

421
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the March Madness Live.

422
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: If you get the text updates from the tournament, you know,

423
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: they'll send kind of the notifications to your phone tell

424
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: you what's happening. Well, they sent something over the last

425
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: five minutes or no, actually there were seven thirty three

426
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: left in the game. The screenshot that I'm seeing from

427
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: the athletic. It says Michigan up twenty one, Arizona has

428
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: seven thirty three to make a run. Let's see if

429
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 2: they can make it happen. And it's pointing to the game, right,

430
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: and so you hit that and they'll take you to

431
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: the deal. But the title of the notification is Wildcats

432
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: getting waxed. That's the official March Madness notification for March

433
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Madness Live. Did they need to stick the knife in

434
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: any further, Arnie? Do we need to say the word

435
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: waxed any official notification is being said. I'm not saying

436
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: it's it's a lie, right, I'm not saying it's inaccurate.

437
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: It's just was that necessary? Do you feel that's a

438
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: little bit much? No?

439
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 4: Not really. We were getting waxed. And there's so anti

440
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: West Coast biased anyway, so.

441
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, there is. Okay, See, I wanted to set

442
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: you up. The whole reason I did that was to

443
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: set you up to go crazy, and then you didn't

444
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: do it, but then you got there. Now, okay, there

445
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: it is. That's right. The East Coast bias.

446
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: Well, you know, and you saw how many championships are

447
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: won by the West Coast and what two thousand. I

448
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: think it was one, and that was Arizona. So unfortunately

449
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: it's they didn't have to put that in there, but

450
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: they like sticking into it, sticking it to Arizona. So

451
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 4: that's what they did, and now they could make Arizona

452
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 4: try to look bad, and they were bad. We're down

453
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: by seventeen and wasn't even that close, to be honest

454
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 4: with you, Jason, we watched the whole game and it

455
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 4: was like a twenty plus blowout. They could have picked

456
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 4: the score that they wanted to. So congratulations to Michigan,

457
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 4: but I don't know. I wish you could end up

458
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 4: in a tie. I just I hate that it's Michigan and Connecticut.

459
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: Prevos just missed and missed an alley. You don't get

460
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: spend that guy for Arizona. That would have cut into fifteen.

461
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: As I mean, at this point, Michigan's just trying to

462
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: dribble out the rest of them.

463
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: I'm trying to see what Burris was shooting today. He

464
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: was four out of sixteen. That's just not going to

465
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: get get it done. We were twelve out of twenty

466
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: seven from the three point line. Excuse me, that was Michigan.

467
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 4: They were twelve out of twenty seven. We were six

468
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 4: to seventeen, So that's pretty typical for Arizona at thirty.

469
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 4: But it was it was just all Michigan in this

470
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: so what we.

471
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: Were talking about the West Coast and in the last

472
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: time the Big ten won the championship with Michigan State

473
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: and that was right around the turn of the century.

474
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: What was the That was the Mateen Cleeves Mopete team,

475
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: I believe, and I remember hearing that stat at the

476
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: beginning of the tournament. I was like, what about the

477
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: Trey Burke Michigan. Oh, yeah, they had to take those

478
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: banners down. Remember that the Michigan Louisville game, because that's

479
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: the one I thought, well, you, well, Michigan won a

480
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: halful of years ago, would be Laton No, no, no, no, no,

481
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: that that game was never played. We didn't witness that.

482
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: We didn't witness that tournament. And that was a great

483
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: tournament and Burke.

484
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: Hit some incredible shots, uh for Michigan in that tournament.

485
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: But and then I was trying to think. I was like, well,

486
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: other teams got there, didn't they what they did? But

487
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: they didn't win. Well, they got there five and got killed.

488
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 4: Didn't they beat Seaton Hall Michigan.

489
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: Michigan be Seton Hall. That was the Glenn Rice team,

490
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: the Glenn Rice team in eighty nine beating Seaton Hall

491
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: in overtime.

492
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: I think that Seaton Hall team has Sean Rastburt on it.

493
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: It had mistaken the kid, the guy from Australia. I'm

494
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: seeing Carlossimo was still there at the time.

495
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a great shooter. I can't remember his name,

496
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: but he was on that Seaton Hall team.

497
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Seton Hall, like a lot of people

498
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: thought Seat Hall would win that game, but Glenn Rice

499
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: just went.

500
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 4: Because Andrew Gaze or something like that.

501
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 2: I bet you Steve de Sager knows. Let's go out.

502
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: Let's go out there. Let's talk to Steve de Sager,

503
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: who can tell us how bad Arizona has been.

504
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: Crushed in this game along with other things.

505
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 4: Steve, you're reading this part of the show.

506
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 8: It was most definitely Andrew Gase. He played for Australia.

507
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 9: I have read that.

508
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 8: The last school west of the Mississippi River to win

509
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 8: the National championship Kansas a few years ago. And also

510
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 8: remember Kansas had an overtime classic against Memphis two thousand eight.

511
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the Derrick Rose m hmm free.

512
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 8: Throw ending Mario Chalmers sending it. Yes, Yeah, Arizona had

513
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 8: the overtime game nineteen ninety seven.

514
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 4: I was at that game.

515
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: Mile that was the Miles Simon game right.

516
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 4: Against Yeah, against Kentucky.

517
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 9: You are correct.

518
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 8: Also about the Michigan Louisville final. That was twenty thirteen.

519
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 8: Louisville did beat Trey Burke. I looked it up. He

520
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 8: had twenty four points that night. And then, of course

521
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 8: apparently that never happened because of all the problems at Louisville.

522
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 8: It gets vacated. It doesn't make Michigan the champion. So

523
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 8: I guess Bill self is the answer to the trivia

524
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 8: question as far as the Western US. But Michigan, my goodness,

525
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 8: we're in the final seconds here. Mercifully, Michigan is gonna

526
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 8: beat Arizona at the Final four in just a moment.

527
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 8: And Michigan was up sixteen at the half, which is

528
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 8: one of the five largest semi final.

529
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 9: Leads since nineteen eighty.

530
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 8: Kansas, when they blew out Dwayne Wade and Marquette over

531
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 8: twenty years ago, had a twenty nine nine point halftime lead.

532
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 8: Kansas on the way to the final two thousand and eight,

533
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 8: was up seventeen at the half against North Carolina.

534
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 9: This has just gone.

535
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 8: Final with Michigan eliminating Arizona, even though All American Yakxel

536
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 8: Lendeborg with the knee and the ankle problems and the

537
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 8: two early fouls, barely played in this game. Eleven points

538
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 8: in fourteen minutes for him final Wolverine's ninety one seventy three.

539
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 8: Arizona was in the Final four for the first time

540
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 8: in twenty five years.

541
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 9: Illinois was in the Final four.

542
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: We'll be back. We'll be back. Put that in your update.

543
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 9: We only put facts in the update.

544
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 4: Put that in your update.

545
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 9: Illinois was in the Final four for the.

546
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 8: First time in over twenty years, and it was a

547
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 8: short stay. Thirty four percent shooting for the Eliina. Connecticut

548
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 8: shoots thirty five percent and wins seventy one sixty two.

549
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 8: So Illinois's fewest points in a game over the last

550
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 8: three seasons are all matchups. Again, it's Yukon sixty two

551
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 8: in tonight's game. They scored sixty one early in the season,

552
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 8: losing in a neutral court against Yukon and a couple

553
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 8: of years ago when Connecticut ripped him in a regional final.

554
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 8: Illinois had fifty two on that night. Championship is Monday

555
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 8: night Women's title game Sunday. In the NBA regular season

Speaker 8: to six weeks, reportedly with an oblique entry two, and

558
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 8: teammate Lukadancic is out with a Grade two hamstring strain.

559
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 8: Detroit one tonight at Philadelphia to clinch the one seed

560
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 8: in the East. Miami won fifty two to one thirty

561
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 8: six over Washington. Wizard's record now seventeen and sixty. The

562
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 8: Spurs had won eleven straight but lost in overtime. Today

Speaker 8: for Nicolo Jokic. Nuggets have won eight in a row.

565
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 8: Among those into the Basketball Hall of Fame today coaches

566
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 8: Doc Rivers and Mark Few among the fifteen NHL contest

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh nine to four winner over Florida, which has been

568
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 8: eliminated from playoff consideration. The LA Kings won in overtime

569
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 8: seven to six against Toronto for LA a record thirty

570
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 8: first game to go to overtime this season. Major League Soccer.

571
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 8: Miami opening a new stadium tonight, tied Austin to two,

572
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 8: Lionel Messi with an early goal. As for late night baseball,

573
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 8: the Mets are just won nine to nothing at the Giants.

574
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 8: That is a final. So now just the game in

575
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 8: Anaheim is still going. Bottom of the seventh. The Angels

576
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: are actually leading one nothing over the Seattle Mariners. Cubs

577
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 8: at Cleveland rained out doubleheader on Sunday wins for Arizona

578
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 8: and Philadelphia. Yankees got three in the bottom of the

579
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 8: eighth to beat Miami nine to seven. Dodgers won ten

580
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 8: to five at Washington, but Mookie Betts of La left

581
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 8: early with a sore back.

582
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you, Steve.

583
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: We are live in the Fox Sports radio studios.

584
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: We do have a final. As I'm looking at Michigan

585
00:28:54,880 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: players talking and now Dusty May talking, I don't know

586
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: what to say, Arnie. It just uh, I mean, everything

587
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: Michigan did work tonight, but they just looked like a

588
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: far better team to me on the floor. I don't know,

589
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: if you play this ten times, if you have one

590
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: of those discussions where it's like, well, maybe Michigan just

591
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: looks like a terrible matchup for Arizona, maybe just a

592
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: terrible matchup for anybody.

593
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: My first question is, and I'm sorry because we were

594
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: doing the show, so I didn't get to watch the

595
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: whole game at the end. Did the Fab five get

596
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: into the game? Was the way they're cheering and giving

597
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 4: them props? Did they score? Did I did I miss something? Jason?

598
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: Did they actually get into the game? Is I'm starting

599
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 4: to get sick with the whole Fab five. Let's show that.

600
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: Let's give them props, I you know, because that was

601
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: one hundred years ago.

602
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: Did they play today? Go back to ninety two? Go YouTube?

603
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: Can we get them YouTube to ninety two final? That'll

604
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: make you feel.

605
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: Better, just you know, come on, now, you're taking away

606
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: from these guys, is what you're doing, Mike. More people

607
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 4: worried about the Fab Five then these guys had played

608
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: in the championship. So I'm a little shocked at that,

609
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: to be honest, I.

610
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: Mean, weirdly enough, a lot of people actually remember that

611
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: these guys played at Michigan. These guys that are playing

612
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: right now, you're not really gonna remember very much because

613
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: they had a cup of coffee at Michigan, put on

614
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: a Jersey.

615
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: College sports has changed a lot.

616
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent right. People remember the whole Fab five,

617
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: but they won't remember this team. But unfortunately, this is

618
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: one of the best teams they could have probably given

619
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 4: the Fab Five a good run for the money.

620
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: To be honest, Yeah, I mean, who knows what any

621
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: of these guys doing the pros. We'll find out, But

622
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: like in terms of just household names, like there was

623
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: this really tall guy that played there, Zach heat know,

624
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: that was Purdue. That was a couple of years ago.

625
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: He lost in the final. Like it's just it's just weird,

626
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: you know, Dusty May his whole team, Like there was

627
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: just a time when college basketball you just knew these rosters.

628
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: And it's just worse some wor some worse. Now he's

629
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: just transfers and everything.

630
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but is it gonna be worse and worse and worse?

631
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: Where now kids are fighting to get back in the college,

632
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 4: to get that fifth year, sixth year, seventh year.

633
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: But it's transfer. But the problem is they just transfer,

634
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: They just go to the other school where they can

635
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: get more money there or a different opportunity there. I mean,

636
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: Lindenborg was a UAB last year you can't fault him

637
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: for one to go somewhere better than that. But he's

638
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: twenty three years old, and you know, he goes to

639
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: Michigan for this final year and well he's really good

640
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: and now he's on a great team with a bunch

641
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: of other talented people, so he can really show out

642
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: even more so than that. But like, nobody's gonna say

643
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: Lindenborg bleeds Michigan blue or something like that because he

644
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: just got there, Like he hasn't played his whole career there.

645
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: This might just be old man or semi old man

646
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: yelling at the clouds, but that's just kind of how

647
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: it feels to me. It's just it's just not how

648
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: it was. It's never going to be that way again,

649
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: and that's just kind of unfortunate at this point. Yeah,

650
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: you really are just rooting for the name on the

651
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: front of the jersey, which.

652
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: Is what it's always been about college. By the way,

653
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 4: the line is out, according to we got a tweet

654
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: from Viva las Vicki put out the line that the

655
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: total is one forty four and a half.

656
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: See, I would have thought it had been in the seven.

657
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: I'll just say this before you say it. I think

658
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: it'd be seven or eight.

659
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 4: And figure you're good. You're right there, Michigan seven and

660
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: a half.

661
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: See that's okay. See when you said five and a half,

662
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: I thought it had to have been a little bigger

663
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: than that.

664
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 4: But it sounds a little large to me. I bet

665
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 4: you you cod money comes in. Well, no, I take

666
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: that back. I was gonna say, I bet you co

667
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 4: money comes in right away. I shouldn't be so sure

668
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 4: about that. Well, we'll see what happens, because once they

669
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: put us post those lines, it moves immediately. So we'll

670
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 4: see what happens.

671
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: So we have not talked about maybe the biggest story

672
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: in college basketball isn't a team that's playing right now.

673
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: It's a job that is open right now in Chapel

674
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: Hill and what is going to happen there. We know

675
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: what Tommy Lloyd is gonna do. He's gonna stay at Arizona,

676
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: right But you and c from what we've heard, they

677
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: haven't really done much else, which tells you something about

678
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: the coaches that are still involved here tonight and the

679
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: ones that are involved on Monday. Might one of them

680
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: be the real target? We'll discuss that. On the other side,

681
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: we may have to push the Greg McElroy story, but

682
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna get there because Greg McElroy has decided that

683
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: the moon landings are not real. I was like, what

684
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: was it April first? On his showdown in Birmingham.

685
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 4: Even though it was Friday, it was April He cap

686
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 4: for Corny one or something.

687
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: You know, he believed that this week happened, but he

688
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: did not believe it happened at any other time. So

689
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: maybe we'll jump into that a little bit later on,

690
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: but we'll go to Chapelhill and find out what's happening

691
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: with that job. On the flip side, we still got

692
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: Yukon and Illinois to break down on the first game tonight.

693
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: And hey, nice to see an actual host in the

694
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: chair in the studio or I guess live in Indy.

695
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: It's nice to have Ernie Johnson. There is there's a

696
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: skill set that goes with that job that it seems

697
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: like had been forgotten at times during this tournament. We'll

698
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: discuss all that when we come back. He's Arney Spaniard.

699
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Martin live for the Fox Sports Radio studios.

700
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 2: We have a championship game. It'll be Michigan and Connecticut.

701
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: Michigan ninety one seventy three over Arizona was not that close,

702
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 2: and Connecticut outlasts and Illinois comeback to win by nine.

703
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: U n C. North Carolina Chapel Hill does not have

704
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: a head coach right now, Arnie Spanier. Yeah, but we

705
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 2: expect it's gonna happen soon because the transfer portal opens

706
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: on the twelfth. I believe it. I believe it is

707
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: Tommy Lloyd. They're extending him at Arizona. He's gonna stay

708
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: put there. He actually put that to bed in advance

709
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 2: of the Final four game, so it was not really

710
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 2: that any kind of a distraction by the time they

711
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 2: got to the game, but almost kind of wish that

712
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: he had left it out there, because then you might

713
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: have an excuse for what happened tonight. But unfortunately the

714
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: excuse was just Michigan was far superior in this game.

715
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: But you've still got Danny Hurley, right, and you've got

716
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 2: Dusty May I think Ward Manual. According to a few

717
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: different reports, they're open to extending him and then Dan Hurley.

718
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: Let's say he wins Monday. I mean, that's gonna be

719
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 2: quite the challenge against this Michigan team. But that'd be

720
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: three to four years. Like, I don't know why you'd leave.

721
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: I don't think. Look, I don't think Dan Hurley's going

722
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 4: to leave. He didn't take the Waker job. If he

723
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 4: was ever going to leave, I think the Waker job

724
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: would have been it. He's comfortable. I think he's gonna

725
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 4: be at Yukon for a wife, so you can forget

726
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 4: about that. You know a year about Billy Donovan. They

727
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 4: can't talk to him until the twelfth, so I think

728
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: that's gonna be out in their timeframe. I think that

729
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: hurts them. I don't think does. He may will leave Michigan,

730
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: especially for the fact that they're gonna be in the

731
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 4: championship game now. I think he's gonna be happy there

732
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 4: for a long long time. Bobby used this to get

733
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 4: a contract extension and all kinds of extra money, So

734
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have to start fresh. You have

735
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 4: to start the.

736
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the twelve when I said the twelfth, Yeah,

737
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 2: you were talking about Donovan's Tuesday. The transfer a Portland open,

738
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: so like they really need somebody in place where they're

739
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: gonna fall behind relatively quickly. I don't know that they

740
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: can get that done because I don't think Dusty May

741
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: is gonna leave. I think he could use it to

742
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: get a get more money, right because we've seen that before.

743
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: Of course, you know Tommy Thelwitz getting any getting an extension.

744
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley, I just I think he's kind of, you know,

745
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: in maybe the best place in college basketball right now,

746
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: one of them. I understand what the Carolina job is.

747
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: I grew up in that area. I grew up in

748
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: North Carolina, and so I get it, but it's not

749
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: quite the same as it once was, like you kind

750
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: of have to bring it back. It sort of reminds me.

751
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: I think I made the comparison of Michigan before hardball,

752
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: but I think Oklahoma is another good comparison because Oklahoma football,

753
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: it's just they've just always been synonymous with winning for

754
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: such a long period of time. But then they did

755
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: have a drop off and they kind of had to

756
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 2: fight their way back to get towards the top after

757
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: Bob Stoops left, it hasn't been quite as easy. And

758
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: then they get Lincoln Riley, they get close, but they

759
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 2: can't win a championship. And then of course they've got

760
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 2: bread ventables. Right now, Carolina now post Roy Williams still

761
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: trying to find the sauce. Hubert got to the championship

762
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: game that first year, but that was not a good

763
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: North Carolina team. That was a team that got hot

764
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: in the tournament and ended up getting to the title

765
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 2: game and losing on that classic Shaw may or that

766
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 2: classic Jenkins three for Villanova. But like the Carolina job,

767
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: is it gonna be better than the Michigan job? I

768
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: don't think so, because I think the Big Ten is

769
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: where you want to be right now in college.

770
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 4: You may know the new coach better than anybody else,

771
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: even though he's not in Vanderbilt anymore. But yeah, talking

772
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 4: about Jerry Stackhouse, who's part of the North Carolina family.

773
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean Jerry Stackhouse was kind of a

774
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: failure at Vanderbilt.

775
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's part of the North Carolina family and

776
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 4: five Yeah, he's.

777
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: Definitely part of the fam. But I mean he's not

778
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt now, is what I'm saying.

779
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: Right, No, I understand, but he's coaching Toronto and Memphis

780
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: and Golden State and five years in Vanderbilt. He's gently

781
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 4: got the you know, coaching chopped for it, that's for sure.

782
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean if he's in the mix and Carolina's

783
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: in trouble. He was seventy and ninety two at Vanderbilt

784
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: in five years, Jeff Goodman, I'm looking at his stat

785
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: right now. He was twenty eight and sixty in the SEC.

786
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: Like this Vanderbilt team this year was ranked most of

787
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: the year, didn't that point?

788
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know better than we do.

789
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they've gone through the NCAA Tourney both years

790
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: after he left. They had Kevin Stallings prior, and Kevin

791
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,959
Speaker 2: Stallings was a guy who had the team there more

792
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: often than not despite his personality. But like Stackhouse, to me,

793
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: Carolina needs, they need a big swing and a big win.

794
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure stack House is at in twenty

795
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: twenty six. If I'm a Carolina fan, I'm not so

796
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 2: sure because I don't see the track record as a

797
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: head coach for him. But I you know, I mean,

798
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to hire somebody, and if they're trying

799
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: to get one of these big names out of one

800
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: of these big programs, they can't really offer anymore that

801
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: much more than what these guys have. And the best

802
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: thing that they can happen for a lot of these

803
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: guys that they realize that is they'll use U n

804
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 2: C as leverage to get hired, to get more money

805
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: where they're already happy. So you know, I don't know,

806
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: like is Mark for you out there? Is he Is

807
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: it now the time to try and poach him from Gonzaga?

808
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know that he would leave either,

809
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: even though I don't think Gonzaga is ever gonna be

810
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: what it once was. But I think it's gonna be

811
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: fascinating to see what happens with the UNC job. But

812
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: we know Tommy Lloyd is not going there, and then

813
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: Tommy Lloyd is also not going to the championship game.

814
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 3: I hate to say that, Arnie, we'll come back.

815
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 2: We'll recap the first game we haven't gotten to talk

816
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: about that much, and start previewing Monday nights championship game.

817
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: Live for the Fox Sports Radio studios.

818
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm Jason Martin. He is Arnie Spanier. Aeron Torres is

819
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: live at the Final four. We'll check in with him

820
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: in the third hour. I was watching the highlights of

821
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: the victorious Yukon Huskies defeating Illinois in the first game

822
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: earlier tonight, which felt like it was played like seven

823
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: hours ago because of the full Chainsmokers concert we got

824
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 2: between the two games, right right, But you know, I

825
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: was watching that and I was thinking, I know they

826
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: wouldn't field this way, but I'm wonder if.

827
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: It's anybody on that on that Connecticut team.

828
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: It's just like, man, I do not really want us

829
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 2: to I don't want the embarrassment of what might happen

830
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: to us Monday night. Like that's how good Michigan looked. Obviously,

831
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: Connecticut is a different animal than Arizona, to totally different team.

832
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 3: They're built there shots, yes, yes, that is true.

833
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 2: Like again, all indicators tell you Michigan is going to

834
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: win and Monday is not going to be all that

835
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: interesting either. But I don't know, Like Connecticut is a

836
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: pretty scrappy, tough team, uh, And I mean they have

837
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: the they have the kind of DNA of Danny Early

838
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 2: And he kind of said that after the game, he said,

839
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 2: you know, we're fighters. We're not just showing up to

840
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: throw the ball around. You know, we were there for

841
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: a fight. We want to prolong our season, we want

842
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 2: to go win a championship. And he's going to have them.

843
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: He's going to have them mentally like prepared to go

844
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: out for a war. I just don't know that they

845
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 2: have the horses to beat Michigan. And if look now,

846
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: if Lindenborg is hampered and is not able to go

847
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: or is in any way, you know, not close to

848
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: one hundred percent or something like that, then that changes things.

849
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: And the guard play is going to be far different

850
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: between Yukon and what Arizona put out there, especially with

851
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 2: Burry's being off and then Bradley getting early fouls and

852
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: just not being able to stay on the floor, so

853
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: he never had his imprint on the game. But Cadota,

854
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be able to run

855
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: quite as wild against Yukon's guards on the outside. And

856
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: the Yukon team likes to take distant shots, and that's

857
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 2: the one thing Michigan will give you, So if they're

858
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 2: making those shots, that could make it a little bit

859
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: more interesting as well.

860
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 3: That was another thing for Arizona.

861
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: I think they were twenty nine, if seventy one or

862
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 2: something like that from the field in the game. The

863
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: stats were very, very ugly. They only had five assists

864
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 2: in the entire basketball game. Like just an incredible performance by.

865
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 4: Me just on the win that Arizona had over Connecticut.

866
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 4: Reid and Mullins I don't think played in that game,

867
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 4: so you know, it's a whole different situation. Obviously, Yes,

868
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 4: if they go ahead and play in that one, Connecticut

869
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 4: will not go ahead and be in a close game

870
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: if they shoot one for eighteen from three point range

871
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 4: like they did for Duke before coming alive, because if

872
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 4: they go one for eighteen from three point range, there'll

873
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: be no comeback. They'll be so far buried like Michigan

874
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 4: did the Arizona There'll be a twenty seven point game,

875
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 4: and hitting three or four three pointers at the end

876
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 4: of the game is not going to mount the comeback.

877
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 4: So obviously they can't get to that type of starter

878
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 4: hit that type of three pointer. I do think it's

879
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 4: going to be Michigan. I think Michigan is just too

880
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 4: strong and too tough. Even with the with the injuries,

881
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 4: I still think I would lay the seven and a half,

882
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 4: probably go with the other because Michigan will push the

883
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 4: pace a lot.

884
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 3: Arizona never led in this game.

885
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: Nope, this the team hadn't lost Arnie since Valentine's Day yep.

886
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: And I want to say their biggest deficit of the

887
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: entire season was seven points and that was at halftime deficit.

888
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 4: And they were done by ten or twelve in a game,

889
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 4: but at halftime it was seven.

890
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so twenty two assists of five in favor of Michigan.

891
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: Right in this game, Arizona had the rebounding advantage. I think,

892
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: probably largely a lot of garbage rebounds in the second

893
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: half three points twelve to twenty seven for Michigan six

894
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 2: of seventeen, so they made twice as many threes. Now

895
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: they took ten more, but they could. And then just

896
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: from field goals, Arizona I gave them too much credit.

897
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 2: They were twenty six of seventy one from the field,

898
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: Michigan thirty three of sixty nine, so just about fifty

899
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: percent for the Wolverines. I mean, this was supposed to

900
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: be the heavyweight fight of one seeds, and one team

901
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: clearly looked like a one any other one. I'm not

902
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 2: saying they got exposed and this is just who they were,

903
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: but this was very It was as dominant as you're

904
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: gonna see. Quite Frank, I'm one really good Arizona team.

905
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 4: I'm wondering who's going to come back for Arizona. I mean,

906
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 4: we know that Bradley's a senior, so he has gone,

907
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of other questions. Waka is also

908
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 4: a senior.

909
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: But I can see Burry's coming back because there's some

910
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: things in his game that this may have exposed.

911
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: Or would you see now, if you're a top fifteen

912
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 4: pick in the NBA draft, then do you really should

913
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 4: you come back? I would probably say no. Now, Pete

914
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 4: Cola Pete's another story. He had dropped before the season.

915
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: He was gonna reject it, be a top ten. Now

916
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 4: you're looking at the bottom half of the first round.

917
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 4: Safe me with Mo Creevas, he's like a last pick

918
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 4: in the first round. But if he comes back, he

919
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 4: could maybe be a top ten pick. So maybe Cola

920
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 4: Pete comes back, Mo Creevas comes back, Vodkarte Jenkoff comes back.

921
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 4: That's a pretty good three. I don't think Brandon Burry's

922
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: comes back at when it's all said and done.

923
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, he may not. I mean again, you're right. I mean,

924
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: if he's a lottery pick or close to a lottery pick,

925
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 2: if this doesn't hurt him in terms of what they

926
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: project him to be, right, then I mean, how much

927
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 2: better are you going to improve yourself at that point

928
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: in time. But you look at you talk about Pete

929
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: like he I don't next year, is he going to

930
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: develop a jumper? Is he going to develop a shot?

931
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 2: Because that's kind of the knock on him for the

932
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 2: most part is he doesn't have a mid range jump shot.

933
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: He doesn't have some of those skills in his bag,

934
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: and so when he runs up against size on the inside,

935
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: he can get banged around. And that's pretty much exactly

936
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: what you saw against Michigan. He had nothing to offer

937
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: essentially in that game offensively for Arizona. So there's still

938
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: some holes there. But I don't know that you learn

939
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: a jump shot coming back for a year.

940
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 4: He's been around the bucket. He has a little you know,

941
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 4: a little jumper within the in the lane, and he's

942
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 4: you know, he has to work on a three point shot?

943
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 4: Is what would he really has to work on. To

944
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 4: be honest with you, I think he ends up coming

945
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 4: back when it's all said and done. He has his

946
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 4: family has a lot of athletes in it. Matter of fact,

947
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 4: his brother plays in the NFL. I don't think, you know,

948
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 4: he's driven by money. He could make fine at the

949
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 4: University of Arizona. I think he comes back for another year,

950
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 4: considering we have two great guys coming in also.

951
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again if it helps that your coach is

952
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 2: going to stick around, you know, Tommy Lloyd's sticking around,

953
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: Like do you feel like you.

954
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 3: Have unfinished business that you can.

955
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: Actually still attain next year?

956
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 5: Right? Right?

957
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 2: Based on the guys that you just mentioned that are

958
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: coming in, and if if all those guys talk to

959
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: each other, right and they kind of see where they

960
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: are in the NBA. But it's just like, well, we

961
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 2: can come back. We're gonna make money here as well,

962
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: and you know we're not exactly top of the first

963
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: round material or anything like that.

964
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: What's it going to hurt to come back for another year?

965
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 2: You know? Now it's an easier decision to make to

966
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 2: stay if you are mid to late first round, because

967
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: you're still going to be able to make money on campus.

968
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 4: So they can plays badly win the transfer portal too.

969
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 4: I think they're looking at the kid from Colorado who

970
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 4: a lot of people want. So there's a lot of

971
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 4: names out there. Arizona won't be lacking for Tallent. I

972
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 4: just don't know if Cola Pete's gonna want to come

973
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 4: back considering he's going to be a first round pick.

974
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 4: He had a great game against Florida, but that was

975
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: the first game he had a middle stretch there that

976
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 4: he was just average. He played okay in the tournament.

977
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 4: I think you could use another year coming back, to

978
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 4: be honest.

979
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that that's that statement is

980
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: probably true for a lot of guys that end up going.

981
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 4: Well the top five picks, and it's just draft they're

982
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: all going to be phenomenal.

983
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I mean they should, they should be somebody probably.

984
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 2: I mean, chances are they won't all hit, but just

985
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 2: on talent, you would think so. I'm still I gotta say, man,

986
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm still worried about Peterson. I'm a little bit worried

987
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: about Peterson just with everything happened during the course of

988
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: the season and even just how ball dominant he feels

989
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: like he has to be at all times. It seems

990
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: like he just wanted to hold onto the ball forever

991
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: rather than get other guys involved. In a lot of plays,

992
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 2: I saw just Kansas players waiting for him to do something.

993
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 4: So I think the Bands. I think the Bands is

994
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 4: the next thing. I think Bryant. I love him so

995
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 4: he would probably be my first pick. To be honest

996
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 4: with you, I've got questions about Boozer. I think half

997
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 4: his points this year come from being bully ball, and

998
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 4: you're not going to play bully ball in the NBA.

999
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 4: That's not going to work. So I'm wondering how he's

1000
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 4: going to be compared to, you know, some of the

1001
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 4: other guys. But I like the bands from BYU. He

1002
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 4: my favorite. Yeah, he would. He would be my number

1003
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 4: one pick. I love a cuff from Arkansas, I mean,

1004
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: a score, just everything, so give me him. I love

1005
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 4: Caleb Wilson, I do like Peterson. He would certainly be

1006
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 4: in my top five. And you know the kid from Illinois, Waggler.

1007
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if i'd have him in my top

1008
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 4: six or seven. I looked up at one mock draft.

1009
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 4: They had Brayden Burry's the number seventh pick.

1010
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's true. Then there's no reason for him

1011
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: to come back off.

1012
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 4: Right, right. So that's that's why I'm thinking he he'll

1013
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 4: end up going to the NBA. That's I mean, look,

1014
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 4: I would love for him to come back, but when

1015
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 4: you're as high as the seventh pick they had Yax,

1016
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 4: so Lennenborg going in with the sixteenth pick to give

1017
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 4: you perspective, you know, and who's going to be ware?

1018
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 4: So again, I think Burds is gone and I think

1019
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 4: CoA Pete As I look now, they had Mo Creevas

1020
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 4: of Coo beat and they didn't have Coopete until number

1021
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 4: twenty five to the New York Knicks.

1022
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: So considering, you know, last year you had the all

1023
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: blue Blood Final four and then this year Star Studied

1024
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 2: Final Four, a lot of future NBA players playing amongst

1025
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 2: these four teams.

1026
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 3: Obviously, does this come across.

1027
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: As you look back on it, Arnie? Is it kind

1028
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: of a disappointing night overall? And I know it's kind

1029
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 2: of hard for you because you're so close to the

1030
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 2: Arizona side, but taking that out of the equation, just

1031
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: as a sports fan, these two games kind of leave

1032
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: you wanting a little bit or do you? Yeah, of

1033
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: course satisfied. I'm I'm I'm a little disappointed with what

1034
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 2: we got.

1035
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 4: Oh well, you could be more than a little disappointed. Yeah,

1036
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 4: it's disappointing you. You want to get close games, you

1037
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 4: want to get buzzer beaters. I mean, after what we saw,

1038
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 4: would you kind of Duke, you wanted more of the same.

1039
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: I think people kind of built up the Arizona Michigan

1040
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 4: won a little bit more than obviously this should have

1041
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 4: been on the final Yeah right, I mean, yeah, we're disappointed,

1042
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 4: but it's still you know, it's still been a pretty

1043
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 4: good tournament. You got the big names in there. Unfortunately

1044
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 4: Duke wasn't able to make it to the to the

1045
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 4: final four, but just still had four good teams, So

1046
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 4: I think it was pretty good. I understand the disappointment

1047
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 4: of not having a close game, but not every game

1048
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 4: could be close.

1049
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, and you're gonna get blowouts from Tom

1050
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 2: and Tom again. For some reason, I kind of thought

1051
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: this might happen, and it certainly did. I mean it really,

1052
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 2: you know, at one point, Michigan was up thirty in

1053
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: this game. They don't win it by thirty, but you know,

1054
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: those last handful of minutes they had pulled everybody out

1055
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 2: of the game, and it just kind of was what

1056
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 2: it was. I mean, at one point, you know, Arizona

1057
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: had a chance to cut it to fifteen and blew

1058
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 2: Analey you dunked. There were a couple of occasions. I

1059
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: think the difference between the two games. At least for me,

1060
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: was that in that first game, even as Illinois got

1061
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 2: it down to four, right, there was really never a

1062
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: moment where I thought they were gonna win. I was

1063
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: just irritated with Connecticut for letting them make it close,

1064
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 2: because it just felt like, well, Connecticut is a better

1065
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: team between these two, and with due respect to Illinois,

1066
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to see them win this game at

1067
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 2: this point because I just don't want to see whatever

1068
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 2: that matchup is going to look like on Monday. I

1069
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 2: think Yukon deserves to win this game, but like Illinois

1070
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: was pesky enough, Like credit to them for that, but

1071
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 2: that game was not particularly dramatic or interesting because even

1072
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: as close as it got, it didn't feel like Connecticut

1073
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: was really threatened.

1074
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 4: I would agree with you on that one. Yeah, they

1075
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 4: did cut it the four, but I think they came

1076
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 4: right back hit a three pointer. The league did get

1077
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 4: back down the five at one point, but then it

1078
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 4: got back up and then they pulled away after that.

1079
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was.

1080
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 4: Never really worried that Illinois was going to win the game,

1081
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 4: but you never know when they were gonna have like

1082
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 4: those fantastic finishes, like yeah.

1083
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 2: Well look Connecticut coming back against Duke, and you know,

1084
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 2: we've seen in this tournament twenty point leads not hold

1085
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 2: multiple times, so I mean, obviously, and yeah, one.

1086
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 4: Of them looking for a coach.

1087
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So, I mean, those kinds of things

1088
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 2: can happen, but it just you never felt that way

1089
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 2: like it was early on. Connecticut had it, it was

1090
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: eighteen to nine, and then Illinois got on one of

1091
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 2: the two kind of runs that they had in this game.

1092
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 2: They had one there in the first half to take

1093
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 2: a twenty two to twenty one lead, and they had

1094
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: one in the second half. But even when they took

1095
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 2: the lead, I still was waiting for the other shoot

1096
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: to drop, and it did. Connecticut was just more complete.

1097
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: They were able to do kind of what they wanted.

1098
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 2: They were able to hit the glass more consistently, and

1099
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 2: they made their shots and Illinois missed a lot of shots. Now,

1100
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 2: both of those two teams played pretty good defense, so

1101
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: it was more of a rock fight than what you

1102
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 2: were anticipating in the in the second game, where you

1103
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 2: thought it was going to be high flying and up

1104
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: and down. I think Arizona would have liked to have

1105
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: slowed the pace down and Michigan just wouldn't let it.

1106
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 2: It wouldn't allow it. Like when Michigan got out started

1107
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 2: running Arizona. Just I just don't think that they even

1108
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: when they had their foot on the gas pedal Arny,

1109
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: I just don't think they wanted to play the way

1110
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 2: Michigan forced them to play.

1111
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 4: No, I agree with your one hundred percent. You know,

1112
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 4: I thought that maybe the fast pace would have hurt Arizona.

1113
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 4: They did want to slow it down a little bit,

1114
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 4: and unfortunately that just never happened. It just it never

1115
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 4: got to that point. Arizona did have it down to

1116
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 4: nine and missed a couple of shots. But when you're

1117
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 4: down by thirty points, you were you're never you know,

1118
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 4: you can't just look at one little thing like that,

1119
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 4: You're you're pretty much done. And that's what happened in

1120
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 4: this one. It was just too fast for Arizona. Plus

1121
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 4: Bradley with the fouls, it just added up to a disaster.

1122
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 2: We'll predict it in the final segment of the show

1123
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: that'll be at the end of next hour. We'll also

1124
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: have Yukon Alum Aaron whereas who we know on this

1125
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: show quite frequently as he is the regular co host

1126
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 2: with me on this program. He'll call us from Indianapolis

1127
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 2: and tell us what he feels about what he saw

1128
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 2: and what the general consensus among the media was, especially

1129
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: after that second game, how it all played out. But

1130
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but Yukon is

1131
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: playing for the championship on Monday. But they're not going

1132
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 2: to be playing for the championship in women's basketball. But

1133
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 2: they're still the story of women's basketball because of Gino

1134
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 2: Rima's act.

1135
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 3: We'll jump into that on the other side.

Speaker 3: He's at Stinking Genius One.

1156
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 2: I'm at JMAR Radio. During a break just because the

1157
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: TBS coverage finally ended there showing like a sneak of

1158
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 2: the Anthony Davis version of Impractical Jokers or Honked or

1159
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 2: whatever like that, and right now he is playing a

1160
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 2: practical joke on Jared Vanderbilt with help from DiAngelo Russell.

1161
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh really, it's actually pretty good.

1162
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 4: Why wasn't this on CBS? Why didn't they have the

1163
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 4: game on CBS?

1164
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's on multiple networks. I can't see

1165
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 2: CBS because there's a contract dispute between Mike and Michael

1166
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: and Scripts, so like all of the Scripts channels are gone,

1167
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 2: so luckily I don't know if it's on TBS or

1168
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 2: not quite frankly, but like the title game last year

1169
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 2: I think was on TBS, so like they seem to

1170
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: be running everything on TBS. Now that's that's where we've

1171
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 2: gotten to. Where is the Women's Championship going to be ESPN?

1172
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 2: I assume ABC Sunday Afternoon joint.

1173
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 4: I think it's ESPN, but I'm not sure I could

1174
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 4: look that up for you real quick though.

1175
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 3: But so it's gonna be yukon against.

1176
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: Who await on both, y lb on both. If you

1177
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 2: if you had money on either the men or the

1178
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: women making the championship game in college basketball this year,

1179
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: the bet would have been the women, not the men.

1180
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 3: But it's going to be South Carolina and UCLA.

1181
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 2: Arnie and I think South Carolina's like a three point favorite,

1182
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorite, whatever. But it was

1183
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 2: the meeting between Geno Arima and Dawn Staley after the

1184
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: game that got all the talk. And now look, Gino

1185
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 2: has now apologized, yeah to South Carolina. I'll read this

1186
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: statement here in a minute. But so South Carolina beats

1187
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 2: Connecticut and it wasn't It was sixty two to forty eight,

1188
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 2: and then it just became a shouting match kind of

1189
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: instigated by Arima and Stayley's sort of halfway being held

1190
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: back or whatever. It got kind of ugly and then

1191
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 2: Gino had some words I think afterwards, like with Holly

1192
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 2: Row on the sidelines or like it got way out

1193
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: of hand. And then the post game wasn't good either,

1194
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 2: and so Gino's now apologized. But what did you make

1195
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 2: of this in the moment, Like are you a big

1196
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 2: time Gino? Guys? It's just on this is just kind

1197
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 2: of expected to agree.

1198
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 4: I think these coaches have gotten out of hand, whether

1199
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 4: it's Gino or it's you know, the hurly Bobby Danny whoever,

1200
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 4: a lot of these coaches get out of hand on

1201
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 4: the sideline, you know. Steve kerr One said I would

1202
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 4: never talk to a person in public like I do

1203
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 4: a referee. I would never ever talk to a person

1204
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 4: like that, you know what I mean. But yeah, yeah,

1205
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 4: you know, we're just we're just wide open to that.

1206
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 4: What I thought this was was Gino taken away from

1207
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 4: a good victory from South Carolina and maybe trying to

1208
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 4: take away some deflection from.

1209
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: His own team.

1210
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 4: I thought he was out of wine, especially that he

1211
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 4: had to wait three seconds for some stupid minutes, three minutes,

1212
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 4: three minutes.

1213
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 3: Excuse me, there's a pregame handshake between coaches.

1214
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: I don't even know if that's wait three minutes, she

1215
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 4: didn't come out there, Okay, big deal, you know what?

1216
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 4: And he made us think about it. He should have

1217
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 4: apologized her. He didn't use her by name.

1218
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, see, I was gonna make that point. But

1219
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 2: before we do it, let's set the stage in case

1220
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 2: people didn't hear it. At least we can. We have

1221
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 2: some of the audio from what was going on there.

1222
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 2: So here is Geno in a rant that he has

1223
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 2: now apologized for. Let's hear from Coach Arima on the

1224
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 2: eve of the incident that did not go very well

1225
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 2: for him.

1226
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Well, coach, a kind of wild turn of events.

1227
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 10: Sarah Strong's jersey is split right down the middle.

1228
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: I saw you speaking to the reps about it.

1229
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 10: What the message did you try to convey here?

1230
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 5: Right?

1231
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 11: There were six founds called that quarter, all of them

1232
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 11: against us, and they've been beating it out of our

1233
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 11: guys down there the entire game. I'm not making excuses

1234
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 11: because we haven't been able to make a shot, but

1235
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 11: this is ridiculous. Their coach rants and raves on the

1236
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 11: sideline and calls the referee some names you don't want

1237
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 11: to hear. And now we get six to zero, and

1238
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 11: I got a kid with a rip jersey and they go,

1239
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 11: I didn't see it. Come on, man, it's for the

1240
01:01:58,160 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 11: national championship.

1241
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 2: So I get that he's passionate right there, right, but

1242
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: in the moment, he also just loses his head and

1243
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 2: starts like issuing public dirty laundry. Basically that Dawn Staley

1244
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 2: uses some foul language towards referees, which I guess would

1245
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 2: make her like I don't know virtually every other basketball coach.

1246
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 4: Breaking news coach doesn't like officiating. Yeah I ever heard

1247
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 4: that before? Oh my good.

1248
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think all of them. I don't think

1249
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: all of them watched their tongues either. I have a

1250
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 2: feeling that that's not not out of bounds for coaching.

1251
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 2: There and then just you know, drops the S bomb too.

1252
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 2: And this is just a sideline interview with Holly Road

1253
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: during the game. Like I get that he's like his

1254
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: point about the fowls would have been made better if

1255
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 2: he had just left on stay out of it, Like

1256
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 2: there was no that didn't enhance the point at all.

1257
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 4: So but he was frustrated. He took it out on her.

1258
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 4: He was frustrated after the game. During the game. As

1259
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 4: team wasn't making shots that agree eight chance to go

1260
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 4: and win the championship, it didn't happen. I'm sure they

1261
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 4: wanted to go as far as the men's team. That

1262
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 4: didn't happen, and Gino was was out of hand. That's

1263
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 4: there's really nothing you could say or you know, defend him.

1264
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 4: He was just out of hand. And I'm glad he apologized,

1265
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 4: but he should have done a better job of apologizing.

1266
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 2: So the one that he should have apologized to, he

1267
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 2: never called by name. And I wanted a statement to

1268
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 2: you in a moment. But here is what Dawn Staley

1269
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: had to say when she was asked about the altercation

1270
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: with Gino ari Ema the end of the game. What's

1271
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 2: wrong on the sideline right now?

1272
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 10: I have no idea, but I'm gonna let you know this.

1273
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 10: I'm of integrity. I'm of integrity. So if I did

1274
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 10: something wrong to Gino, I had no idea what I did.

1275
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 10: I guess he thought I didn't shake his hand at

1276
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 10: the beginning of the game.

1277
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

1278
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 10: I went down there at pregame shook everybody on his

1279
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 10: staff's hand.

1280
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't know why he came.

1281
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 10: After the game, but hey, so times get heated.

1282
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 2: We move on. Honestly, pretty good from her.

1283
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 4: Right, she took everybody's hand, So where was he? I mean,

1284
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 4: you know, making this stuff up to be honest, Well,

1285
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1286
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 2: I will say that the three minute thing, like her

1287
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: reaction to is like I guess he said, I didn't

1288
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: shake his hand, like if it was some kind of

1289
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 2: just automatic accepted rule. The way she said it seemed

1290
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 2: like she didn't know the rule, like she was just

1291
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 2: like yeah, I mean I went down up and down

1292
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 2: his you know, his staff line and shook all their

1293
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 2: hands and stuff like that. Maybe I missed him, but

1294
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 2: apparently like whatever he thought was supposed to happen and

1295
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: said was a regular thing, maybe it wasn't such a

1296
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 2: regular thing. But even if it.

1297
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 4: Was, like get over Gino, dude, get over yeah, like

1298
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 4: get over some stupid handshake before the game. But yet

1299
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 4: you're complaining about the officiating dropping s bombs on TV.

1300
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 4: Just he's just looking for a reason. And like I said,

1301
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 4: these coaches have gotten out of hand. You would never

1302
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 4: say is stuff like that. They're a normal person that

1303
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 4: you do with referees. They they've treated referees like garbage

1304
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 4: and I don't think I could ever go ahead and

1305
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: you know, do a job like that. You should, I

1306
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 4: think you'd be good. I think you should be a

1307
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 4: replacement NFL ref this year. Make yourself somebody on the

1308
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 4: side there, Jason.

1309
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Dude, they're making like three hundred and fifty a year.

1310
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 2: A yeah, I saw the NFL officials and make a

1311
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty g a year, and a lot

1312
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 2: of them their day jobs are like attorneys like Gino

1313
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Jean Stereotor.

1314
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1315
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, this attorney was a licensed attorney.

1316
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 4: And hockey well attorney. Yeah he was.

1317
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right, Like I mean that these dudes

1318
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 2: have solid day jobs. One of the guys in my congregation,

1319
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, today college referee.

1320
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 4: What I don't erstand just real quick on that is

1321
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 4: they're going to take the college refs and try to

1322
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 4: move them up. But anybody who's in a Power five

1323
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 4: conference will not, you know, cross the line or hurt

1324
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 4: their integrity, and then they're gonna have to look outside

1325
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 4: of college to regular people. I'm surprised they don't look

1326
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 4: at If you're looking for regular job odd people, you

1327
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 4: should really look at talk show hosts. To watch a

1328
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 4: lot of sporting events, and I'm a lot of football

1329
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 4: and probably know the rules better than a lot of

1330
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 4: other people.

1331
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so one other point then we'll get to do

1332
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah to Steve for all the latest in sports. The

1333
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: uh just here's how it sounded at the end, because

1334
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 2: those were the two things that were happening in game.

1335
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 2: Now at the end, we have kind of the call

1336
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 2: as it was happening on the floor when the altercation happened.

1337
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 2: Let's let's hear that as well. Be one final in

1338
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 2: down here the officials will hold the players. Now, Don

1339
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 2: and Gino getting into it a little bit on the

1340
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 2: sideline as Gino has to.

1341
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 5: Be held back and Don and Gino that's part of

1342
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 5: what makes this rivalry.

1343
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 2: Such a compelling one. As they exchanged words of center court,

1344
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 2: here's the statement from Gino. There's no excuse for how

1345
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: I handled the end of the game versus South Carolina.

1346
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 3: It's unlike what I do and what our standard is

1347
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 3: here at Connecticut.

1348
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 2: I want to apologize to the staff and the team

1349
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 2: at South Carolina was uncalled for and how I reacted.

1350
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: The story should be how well South Carolina played, and

1351
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't want my actions to detract from that. I've

1352
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 2: had a great relationship with their staff, and I sincerely

1353
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 2: want to apologize to them. End quote. So here's the problem.

1354
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: It's like he.

1355
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 3: Went out of his way not to say Dawn's name exactly.

1356
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 4: Like didn't seem that way, of course it does. It

1357
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 4: seems like, yeah, still bitter about it, you know.

1358
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 2: Like he's saying it was a great relationship with their staff.

1359
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 2: Who's on the staff the coaches? Yeah, that you're taking

1360
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 2: hide And look, there's some things Dawn Staley said through

1361
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 2: the years that have really rubbed me the wrong way,

1362
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: Like she's you know, she's not the most likable human beings. Okay,

1363
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 2: but in this case, he's a thousand percent wrong, like

1364
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: in every way. And even in this statement, it's like

1365
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 2: he can't It's like he's doing it through gritted teeth

1366
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 2: because he can't just say, yeah, I shouldn't have said

1367
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 2: that about made him apologize exactly because it had all

1368
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 2: the hallmarks of trying to get every note. But at

1369
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: the same time, he just would not say Don Staley's name,

1370
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 2: somebody that Harney Spaniers should apologize to on a frequent

1371
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 2: basis because of I'm sure the conduct that he puts

1372
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 2: forth on Sundays is Steve de Sager. We go to

1373
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 2: Steve de.

1374
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 3: Sager right now, who has been harmed for years.

1375
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, Arne would say no harm, no foul.

1376
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

1377
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 8: By the way, Don Staley got into the Hall of

1378
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 8: Fame again today because the Team USA as a group

1379
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 8: from the nineteen ninety six including Olympics, the team was

1380
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,799
Speaker 8: voted in to the Hall of Fame, which would include

1381
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 8: the roster of Lisa Leslie and Cheryl Swoops and Don

1382
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 8: Staley and.

1383
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 9: The rest that were on that she was already in.

1384
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 8: And you asked about the Final Four with the TV,

1385
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 8: it's every other year these two networks switch back and forth.

1386
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 8: CBS has Final Four in the odd numbered years, it's

1387
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 8: on Cable the even numbered years. So I looked it

1388
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 8: up a couple years ago when Yukon won the final

1389
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 8: against Purdue, was about fifteen million viewers. Last year with

1390
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 8: a good game, close game, eighteen million viewers. With the

1391
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 8: Florida win over Houston. Tonight, we had Yukon and Michigan

1392
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 8: advancing to Monday Night's finale.

1393
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 9: Now Illinois was.

1394
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 8: The loser seventy one sixty two to Yukon, and the

1395
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,799
Speaker 8: Ilini were in their third Final four since nineteen eighty nine,

1396
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 8: first time in over twenty years since they lost the

1397
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 8: two thousand and five championship game against the Tar Heels.

1398
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 8: Connecticut's Alex Caraban played his one hundred and fiftieth college

1399
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 8: game tonight, and Monday night would be his one hundred

1400
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,480
Speaker 8: and fiftieth start for Yukon. And then Michigan ripped Arizona

1401
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 8: ninety one to seventy three for a one seed. To

1402
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 8: lose that badly in an NCAA tournament game has not

1403
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 8: happened since Virginia was upset in the first round twenty

1404
01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 8: eighteen against UMBC. So Michigan's favored for night. A team

1405
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 8: from the Big Ten has not won the men's basketball

1406
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 8: title since two thousand and There was a great stat

Speaker 8: The Angels got a leadoff homer and wound up winning

1445
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 8: the game one nothing against Seattle because right fielder Joe

1446
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 8: Adell robbed three home runs above the wall during the game,

1447
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 8: including one late in the game where he actually went

1448
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 8: over the wall and into the stands and held on

1449
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 8: to the ball and it counted as an out after

1450
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 8: video review. Apparently last year. The outfielder that was best

1451
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 8: at robbing home runs robbed four for the whole season.

1452
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness, Joe Adele robbed three in one game

1453
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 8: against the Mariners.

1454
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 9: Tonight, back to you.

1455
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 2: Nice, nice, Thank you, Steve. We will have much more

1456
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 2: from Steve Disager coming up in the next segment. One

1457
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 2: final point on Gino and Dawn.

1458
01:12:58,960 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1459
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 2: Do you think would have been a dust up at

1460
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 2: the end of this game if Connecticut had won it

1461
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 2: sixty two to forty eight. I don't think so. I

1462
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 2: think she's we have heard about the handshake, right right right.

1463
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 4: I don't think that would have been an issue. He

1464
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 4: wouldn't have said anything. I think winning cures all ills.

1465
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 4: That's what would have happened in this case. We would

1466
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 4: never heard about it at that point.

1467
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 2: No, I would think so, just a bad look all

1468
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 2: the way around. I agree, Yeah, just an unfortunate moment. Look,

1469
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 2: I don't hate are Emma like I think he's one

1470
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,839
Speaker 2: of those kind of forces in sports. That's good because

1471
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 2: you can root against him, but you also always respect

1472
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 2: the teams that he's going to bring out there and

1473
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 2: stuff like this. But not one of his better moments

1487
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: idea how many stats and from what sports they will be,

1488
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 2: but that's coming to you now. Stay locked in. He's

1489
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: Aarny Spanier. I'm Jason Martin. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1490
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. It's Fox

1491
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday. He's Ernie Spanier. I am Jason Martin. Final segment,

1492
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:47,679
Speaker 2: Hour number two. We go to our good friend, basically

1493
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 2: the Walking Encyclopedia himself, Steve Disager for the segment, Steve,

1494
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 2: What's happening? What do you mean not true? I did well.

1495
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 8: I have good research skills, I don't know them all.

1496
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 8: I have, you know, file cabinets to look through. But

1497
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 8: we did find the video of what we were talking about,

1498
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 8: the incredible right field evening in Anaheim tonight. This is

1499
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 8: how it sounded on Mariner's TV. Aaron Goldsmith on the

1500
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 8: play by play. It's ninth inning, deep fly ball to right.

1501
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 8: Mariners are down one nothing in the ninth to the

1502
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:18,839
Speaker 8: Angels into.

1503
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 2: The corner and shot down, having the night of his life.

1504
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 9: That's correct.

1505
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 8: He robs a third home run of the evening and

1506
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 8: the Angels wind up winning one nothing.

1507
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: Truly incredible.

1508
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 8: Michigan stopped Arizona at the final four ninety one seventy

1509
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 8: three tonight. That means in these last two rounds it's

1510
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 8: a martian of victory of fifty one for the Wolverines.

1511
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 8: You'd have to go back to the nineteen sixties in

1512
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 8: March Madness to have scoring margins this deep into the

1513
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 8: tournament for any team in back to back games. So

1514
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 8: now it's a matchup in the final Monday Night of Yukon,

1515
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 8: which has never lost to March Madness Final six to

1516
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 8: zero best of anyone, and Michigan, whose mark is the

1517
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 8: worst for any team in the National Championship that has

1518
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 8: made at least four appearances in the final, one in

1519
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 8: six in the championship game for Michigan, and no team

1520
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 8: has ever lost the NCAA Tournament final seven times. And

1521
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 8: I'm glad you mentioned earlier, Jason about the Oklahoma team

1522
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty eight that made the final, lost the high

1523
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 8: scoring game to Danny Manning in Kansas. That was an

1524
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 8: entertaining Oklahoma team, and in fact, they had a record

1525
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,839
Speaker 8: going into tonight most points scored in the NCAA Tournament

1526
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 8: going into the finals four to seventy three total. Michigan

1527
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 8: has scored four to seventy two this year in the

1528
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 8: tournament going into the tisday on that team Oklahoma, though.

1529
01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: Now that Oklahoma team was Stacy King and Mookie Blaylock.

1530
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that team was.

1531
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 8: I think it was fifty to fifty at halftime in

1532
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:09,759
Speaker 8: the final as well. So Arizona loses badly to Michigan,

1533
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:11,839
Speaker 8: there's no other way to put it. Even though Michigan's

1534
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 8: All American was barely on the floor because of knee

1535
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 8: and ankle injuries, Arizona has not had a loss by

1536
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 8: this margin in over two years, and it's been almost

1537
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 8: two years since they literally never led in a game,

1538
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 8: and this was a matchup of one seeds in the tournament.

1539
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 8: This ties for the largest margin to victory in any

1540
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 8: NCAA tournament game between one seeds.

1541
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 4: We get it.

1542
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 2: We get it, and we.

1543
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 8: Had seating for almost fifty years in the NCAA tournament.

1544
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 9: It's an incredible result.

1545
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 8: I mentioned earlier that Florida in hockey was eliminated from

1546
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 8: the postseason with its nine to four loss to Pittsburgh.

1547
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 8: This is the team that had won back to back

1548
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 8: titles and then will miss the playoffs entirely. Now Statsink said,

1549
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 8: that's the only team in the four major sports this

1550
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 8: century that's won back to back and then missed the

1551
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 8: playoffs entirely the following season. And more of note the

1552
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 8: Buffalo Sabers due to a different result in the league tonight,

1553
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 8: they clinched the spot in the playoffs, so they end

1554
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 8: a fourteen year postseason drought, which means the New York

1555
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 8: Jets have the longest current non playoff streak in all

1556
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 8: of North American pro sports, fifteen straight seasons without going

1557
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 8: to the playoffs. As for the Basketball Hall of Fame,

1558

Speaker 2: attend in the Final four, and so we do this show.

1600
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 2: I think it was you and I that had Alex

1601
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Caravan on a couple of years ago when Connecticut was

1602
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 2: in the final because.

1603
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 4: My twelve years.

1604
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 2: And Caravan's been there forever.

1605
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 4: Can I just read you something that Cavid real Quick

1606
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:00,640
Speaker 4: on the Twitter says, just think of Genia zarn. I know,

1607
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 4: I don't know your buddy's name, the supposed Jinks, which

1608
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 4: is from my for Thurnay days, but it doesn't matter.

1609
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 4: You're the Jinx. Why did you take this damn shift?

1610
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 4: You know better every time you're on our cat suck.

1611
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 4: Come on, man, I can't believe you agreed to take

1612
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 4: this shift. Yeah. When I used to work on this

1613
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,839
Speaker 4: shift before you, Arizona would be on like every Saturday

1614
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 4: night in football and we would just lose and lose

1615
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 4: and lose. So it was like a commonplace that every

1616
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 4: time I worked Saturday night, my team would lose. I

1617
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 4: thought the game would be over. But the game was

1618
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 4: over by the time we got on the air, you

1619
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 4: know what I mean. So it really didn't make put Jason.

1620
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, nothing had changed. You could have left

1621
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: the stadium and still come and like host it remotely

1622
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 2: from Indianapolis by the time that we got on because

1623
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 2: we knew what was going down at that point in time. Hey,

1624
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,680
Speaker 2: look like I said that earlier. Man, if I'm an

1625
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 2: Arizona fan right now listening to the broadcast, I'm thinking

1626
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 2: to myself, due, why did you do this to us?

1627
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:07,360
Speaker 2: Because there's got to be some Look, it's all about

1628
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 2: assessing blame at this point.

1629
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 4: Yes, it really is somebody.

1630
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 2: And if you don't want to give Michigan credit, which

1631
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 2: you should, just do that. But if you want something else,

1632
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 2: just to help you out, Arnie Spaniard can easily be

1633
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 2: the scapegoat. Absolutely shove him off the cliff if need be,

1634
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 2: do what you need to do, zone a fan. I

1635
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,480
Speaker 2: don't think that there is a soul out in California,

1636
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 2: and there's certainly not one here in Nashville that would

1637
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 2: have a problem with you just laying it all at

1638
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 2: the feet of Army.

1639
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 4: And the boss said, you know if you don't want to,

1640
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 4: I can understand. You want to watch a game. I go, No, no,

1641
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 4: I go, the game will be over.

1642
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 2: I go.

1643
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 4: What better plays to be then on the air after

1644
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:46,799
Speaker 4: Arizona beats Michigan.

1645
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 2: Of course I want to be said that out loud.

1646
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 2: I'd have told me you were going to say that

1647
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 2: before the tournament. I would have picked against Arizona.

1648
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 4: M I taxed it back to the boss, so he's like, oh, great, Yeah,

1649
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're doing it. That's awesome, you know.

1650
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually thought it because I knew. I knew

1651
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 2: Aaron would be off, but I thought to myself, I

1652
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 2: was like, I might have somebody completely different or just

1653
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 2: asked to do this thing solo, which I've done before, right,

1654
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 2: because you might be going with your fraternity buddies. But

1655
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm glad if if you guys had gone and this

1656
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 2: game have played out exactly very mad, how dreadful with

1657
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 2: that event, it.

1658
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 4: Would have been horrible. It'd be good to get with

1659
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 4: the guys. But we don't have to go to that event.

1660
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 4: We really will have fun when we get back and

1661
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 4: go to Tucson or something like that. But if we

1662
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 4: would have gotten the Indianapolis and wasted all that money.

1663
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 4: But you see my fraternity brothers, they're rich as now,

1664
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 4: so they don't care about.

1665
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 2: Wasting any money.

1666
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 4: You know, doesn't bother them. But it would just have

1667
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,680
Speaker 4: been the hassle of getting the Indianapolis and then being disappointed,

1668
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 4: never having you really never cheered. We got down ten

1669
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 4: to one and really had nothing to cheer about, even

1670
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 4: though it was twenty seven to twenty one. I believe

1671
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 4: twenty nine twenty three at one point, but we really

1672
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 4: had nothing to cheer about.

1673
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 2: It was.

1674
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 4: It was just a terrible game from that point on.

1675
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were saying, I mean not coming was a

1676
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 2: good idea. I mean that kind of what Arizona chose

1677
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,000
Speaker 2: to do is.

1678
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 4: Just wow, I'm gonna have to take my wife on

1679
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 4: a vacation now. So I saved the money from going

1680
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,839
Speaker 4: to Indianapolis, so I'll take her to Hawaii or something

1681
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 4: like that. I'll have to figure that out.

1682
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 2: So Tommy Lloyd agrees to the new deal with Arizona,

1683
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 2: the extension there.

1684
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 3: So you got some good news, Yes.

1685
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 2: Tommy Lloyd, that is sticking around.

1686
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:27,839
Speaker 4: Goodness.

1687
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 2: Ninety one seventy three is the final all the stats

1688
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: that would matter at the time that they would matter,

1689
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 2: were just incredibly in favor of Michigan. I think that

1690
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 2: twenty two to five assists number is one that is

1691
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 2: going to stick out for a very very long time.

1692
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 2: And the other game, Yukon seventy one, Illinois sixty two,

1693
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 2: and it was about as that's about kind of what

1694
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 2: that game played out to be. At times. Illinois pulled

1695
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 2: it closer, but it felt like Connecticut was around ten

1696
01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 2: points better than them, certainly on Saturday night and maybe

1697
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 2: just overall as a basketball team, but uh, as a

1698
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 2: Final Four experience, it'll be I'll be curious to see

1699
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 2: what the numbers look like, because I feel like they

1700
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 2: have to have dropped off a cliff fairly early in

1701
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 2: the second half. Once you realize that the twenty point

1702
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 2: comeback that you've seen a few times in this tournament,

1703
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 2: this one's not coming. It became maybe an easier early

1704
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 2: night for a lot of folks, especially on the East Coast,

1705
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 2: as it was getting a little bit later in the

1706
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 2: evening thanks to like a ninety minute Chainsmokers. By the way,

1707
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: every time I mentioned it, I add thirty minutes to

1708
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 2: the right.

1709
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 4: I see the three hour concert.

1710
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 2: It ends out how long the show is.

1711
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if you took a vote, most people

1712
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 4: were like, come on, man, we don't need this. This

1713
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 4: is no not like the Super Bowl. You get the

1714
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 4: next game going. It used to be back in the day,

1715
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 4: it was twenty minutes after. Yeah, it was final, but

1716
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,959
Speaker 4: then you know, you have to clear out the stadium

1717
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 4: so you can get the you know, the two teams

1718
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 4: that are playing, so you get the crowds down low

1719
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 4: and everybody getting all excited. But it'd be about twenty

1720
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 4: twenty five minutes and then you'd start the next game up.

1721
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 4: They changed out somehow. I don't know when that changed

1722
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 4: me out.

1723
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1724
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, now we're playing these gigantic buildings and stuff.

1725
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:11,759
Speaker 2: I mean we used to play in like the Kemper

1726
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 2: Arena and like smaller venues for the Championship. Not bad venues,

1727
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 2: but just you know, twenty thousand seed arenas and stuff,

1728
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 2: and now you're playing in giant football stadiums. Everything changes.

1729
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 2: So maybe the logistics are tougher, but it seems like

1730
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 2: we should be getting more efficient, not less efficient, when

1731
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,640
Speaker 2: we're doing things like this, and our attention spans in

1732
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 2: this society have never been worse thanks to YouTube and

1733
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 2: social media and scrolling and everything that we interact with

1734
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 2: and all this kind of stuff. So subjecting us to

1735
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 2: that during the break between the two games, I wonder

1736
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 2: if people were just like, you know what, I think,

1737
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: I'm done, and you know what.

1738
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 4: Jasan New was a guy in Arizona fam who went

1739
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 4: with a buddy to put up pictures of his seats.

1740
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 4: You know, at the game. It was so far up.

1741
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything.

1742
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 4: I thought it was a joke to begin with, and

1743
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 4: then I coicked on the picture, you know, and you

1744
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 4: know how you do with the iPhone. You have to

1745
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 4: take your fingers and make it bigger, and make it bigger.

1746
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, he's really that high up. I go.

1747
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 4: I could never And it was like on the side

1748
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 4: of the basket. You're not even in center court. I go,

1749
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 4: that's horrible. I go, you can't even see. They look

1750
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 4: like ants. I go, you know, with all the great

1751
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 4: TVs we all have now fifty sixty seventy one hundred

1752
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 4: inch you know, high depth, this deaf clear color, it's

1753
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 4: not even worth it. I mean, my goodness, those I

1754
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 4: would have been horrible. And that was Those seats were

1755
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 4: like four hundred dollars. It was ridiculous how far up

1756
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 4: he was. That's crazy.

1757
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look like in a football stadium, you

1758
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 2: have to think the dimensions of a basketball court, right,

1759
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: there's some just seats in there that are absolutely atrocious,

1760
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 2: that are not worth anything at all, just so like

1761
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 2: the only reason you do it is just so you

1762
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,400
Speaker 2: can be there, right, Like you don't even see it.

1763
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 2: You're either watching on the screen that's hanging from the ceiling.

1764
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,959
Speaker 4: Yes, right, right right, or.

1765
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 2: Like or you just kind of give up on it.

1766
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 2: And it's like you went to the concert and somebody

1767
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 2: stood up the entire time, and so you just had

1768
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 2: to listen to it and say, yeah, I was there

1769
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 2: for the Eagles and Rod Stewart last night.

1770
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 4: Are you're watching around that? I hope you get a

1771
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 4: better seat or something.

1772
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, exactly. Like again, in a twenty eighteen

1773
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 2: thousand Seed arena, even the stuff up top is not bad, like, yes,

1774
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 2: it's it's not ideal, but it's not terrible. But in

1775
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,839
Speaker 2: a seventy thousand Ceed Arena, eighty thousand Seed Arena, sixty

1776
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 2: five thousand ced area, stuff like this, there's some seats

1777
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 2: that it's just like, dude, you got ripped off if

1778
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 2: you actually wanted to see the game, if you just

1779
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,599
Speaker 2: wanted to be part of the experience.

1780
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 4: Rights your team was in it.

1781
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: Okay, but clearly, the best way to watch a sporting

1782
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 2: event in twenty twenty six, unless you have the money

1783
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,639
Speaker 2: for the primo seats in one of these big buildings

1784
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 2: at least, is to stay at home with your snacks

1785
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 2: and your stuff, or go to a friend's house that

1786
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 2: has a palm theater or something like that. But go

1787
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 2: into these venues and paying one thousand dollars to park

1788
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 2: and then coming in and all that other stuff, like, no,

1789
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 2: that's for the birds. I mean, you couldn't even see

1790
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 2: the chain smokers from up there.

1791
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 4: I did. I just want you to I want you

1792
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 4: to understand something. It's funny that you mentioned, is just

1793
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 4: stay at home with your own snacks and watch it.

1794
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:31,720
Speaker 4: There was an article I was I was filling it

1795
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 4: on Thursday, I think Thursday or Tuesday or whatever with

1796
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 4: a harmon, And there was an article we talked about

1797
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 4: where it says six out of ten sports fans admit

1798
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 4: that they don't they skip watching games. Was they can't

1799
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 4: afford it, They can't afford it on TV anymore. Yes,

1800
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:52,600
Speaker 4: because it's it's you gotta you have like ten channels

1801
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 4: to watch every game in the NFL. It's absolutely ridiculous.

1802
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is. It's like six seven hundred

1803
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 2: dollars worth of streaming services just to watch the Yankees

1804
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 2: this year, if you wanted to watch all of their games.

1805
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 2: I think I saw that article pop up. I think

1806
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 2: it was Andrew Marshawn wrote that article.

1807
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 4: And that's without the red zone red zone or you

1808
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 4: don't want to follow a team or something like that.

1809
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, like everybody wants a piece of the pie

1810
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 2: on the streaming empire. So the NFL has spread between

1811
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,719
Speaker 2: four different networks, the NBA is spread between it seems

1812
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 2: like every network that's ever existed. Major League Baseball is

1813
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 2: all over creation. Like, yeah, you've priced out people, and

1814
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 2: at the same time, you've also TechEd out people because

1815
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 2: a lot of the elderly sports fans, they if it's

1816
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 2: not on their cable service, they kind of don't know

1817
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 2: how to access it. And that's how he's speaking ill

1818
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 2: of them. It's just a lot of them didn't like

1819
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 2: my parents. When my dad was still alive, I would

1820
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 2: have to set up all that stuff for him right

1821
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 2: exactly because he just wasn't. He used to be tech savvy,

1822
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 2: but once you hit about fifty, that's kind of where

1823
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 2: your tech sunk is for most people. Oh my apologies.

1824
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you're like, hey, I do wonder I go.

1825
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 4: Do I have all the channels heading into this football season?

1826
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 4: Do I have this? Does that? The Amazon Prime? Uh?

1827
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 4: The NFL network? Do I Did I sign up for

1828
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 4: the red Zone? You know, I got to make sure

1829
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,160
Speaker 4: I do the list to make sure I have every

1830
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 4: possible channel, otherwise I go crazy when it's when it's how.

1831
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:24,519
Speaker 2: Are you feeling about the studio work as CBS during

1832
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:25,160
Speaker 2: this tournament?

1833
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 4: Which one which is well?

1834
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 2: I mean obviously you had Ernie Johnson and Kellogg and

1835
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:33,719
Speaker 2: Buce Burrow and I Charles.

1836
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 4: Let's stick with that one real quick. I like Ernie

1837
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 4: and nothing against the guys. But I do have to say,

1838
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 4: first of all, how many young people, if this is

1839
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,680
Speaker 4: for the young people, the young college people and the

1840
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 4: people in their thirty how many people know who Clark

1841
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 4: Kellogg is. I'm just curious.

1842
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,719
Speaker 2: No, I mean, there's always going to be an analyst.

1843
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean Clark Kellogg's been there forever. Like if you

1844
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 2: watch the tournament, Clark Kellogg gives great insight.

1845
01:31:58,880 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 4: Don't you want to go?

1846
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 2: And he used to be and yeah, well he was

1847
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 2: also played by play guy or he was the color

1848
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 2: guy for the championship around for however long that was

1849
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 2: five years or so. I'm not bothered by that. I mean,

1850
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 2: who are you going to put on there? You put

1851
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,840
Speaker 2: Seth Davis on there. But I've just been good at

1852
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 2: times that back in the day, Mike Francessa used to

1853
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:24,559
Speaker 2: actually be on the CBS coverage during the NCAA used to.

1854
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 4: Be on the CBS turbage, you know. And like I said,

1855
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 4: if you want to get younger, do people know who

1856
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 4: Clark is? Look, Charles Barkley really doesn't follow college basketball.

1857
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 2: Now, but he's just like him.

1858
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 4: He's a personality, you know. I like Kenny uh and

1859
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 4: certainly he brings a lot also, So you know, I

1860
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 4: think they do a good job. But you know, there

1861
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 4: is questions. I think on the second team people kind

1862
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 4: of wondering about them.

1863
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, my biggest thing was this is nothing

1864
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: against Nate Burlison as it relates to like his talent

1865
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 2: on television, right because I mean, he's been a good analyst.

1866
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaker 2: He does good work in the mornings, even I don't

1867
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 2: watch morning the morning news magazines or any of that

1868
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:12,759
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. I don't watch that stuff. But obviously

1869
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 2: he's impressed some people doing that. So this is not

1870
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:19,759
Speaker 2: speaking to his talent level. But he's not Greg Gumbel, right,

1871
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:24,559
Speaker 2: and they were apparently they gave him this opportunity because

1872
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 2: they wanted to kind of test out whether or not

1873
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: he could replace James Brown long term on NFL coverage,

1874
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 2: and because James is getting up up in years and

1875
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 2: he's probably getting to the point where he doesn't need

1876
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 2: it anymore, wants to finish his life, probably in a

1877
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 2: quieter way, and that's fine, and Nate might who knows,

1878
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,759
Speaker 2: But I will just say this, like this just didn't work.

1879
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 2: And it's not because Nate couldn't do it in the NFL.

1880
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:55,479
Speaker 2: It's just why is Nate Burlison in the studio like

1881
01:33:55,800 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 2: hosting this kind of weird roundtable studio of Like, there

1882
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: is a skill set that goes into being Ernie Johnson.

1883
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:06,599
Speaker 2: That's why there's not a lot of them. When you

1884
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 2: see Ernie back at the Final four, you're like, oh,

1885
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,680
Speaker 2: thank goodness, Like, you know somebody that does this, that

1886
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 2: knows how to pass the baton that hard.

1887
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 4: Let's not make it a brain surgery.

1888
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,120
Speaker 2: Come on, I don't know, man, And there's a lot

1889
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 2: of people that do it badly. I'm not saying that

1890
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 2: it's impossible to do, but it's harder than you think

1891
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 2: based on the people that get jobs doing.

1892
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,040
Speaker 4: It, right. No, I understand. I look and and nothing

1893
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 4: against Nate Burrows, and I just don't think he was

1894
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 4: like an aplause I would probably give like a B

1895
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 4: minus if I'm giving him a grade out there.

1896
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, one thing is like he was dressing for he

1897
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,320
Speaker 2: was dressing to be noticed. Well, it's just kind of like, dude,

1898
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 2: you're the host, just just just be kind of that.

1899
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:53,599
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that.

1900
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 2: I don't know a lot of guys, actual main hosts.

1901
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 4: You know a lot of guys dressing, especially in the

1902
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:01,839
Speaker 4: NFL round table where like Jimmy Johnson, where's the nicest

1903
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 4: suit zaver for griding out loud? That guy's mister bling,

1904
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 4: mister FLA. For my goodness, man, Again, I don't know.

1905
01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:12,440
Speaker 2: I know that the coverage got kind of mixed reviews

1906
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 2: with all that, but there was just some weird stuff

1907
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:17,600
Speaker 2: about him. It's just like I kind of missed. I

1908
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 2: also thought there were too many people, Like I don't

1909
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 2: know if the roundtables need to be so deep. I

1910
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 2: don't know that we need a wide screen to fit

1911
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:27,760
Speaker 2: five guys on there. It's like we could probably thin

1912
01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:29,600
Speaker 2: that out a bit, even if I like all the

1913
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 2: people involved. I like Kellogg. I think he cares a

1914
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 2: lot about college hoops. That's something that they desperately need,

1915
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 2: right right, Well, course they don't have like a Jay

1916
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 2: Billis or somebody, because you know, Espiano ands those guys.

1917
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 4: But doy you mention that Jason just tweeted in said

1918
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 4: I missed the experience of coach right this tournament.

1919
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was great and sneak a genius is correct.

1920
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 4: Kenny and Charles don't follow the game a time, no,

1921
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:54,560
Speaker 4: so they add nothing to the conversation.

1922
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 2: No, I mean, what's funny about Kenny Smith is I

1923
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:00,240
Speaker 2: like Kenny's analysis. I've always like Kenny on TV, But

1924
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:03,679
Speaker 2: Kenny is always the guy who's like, this guy reminds

1925
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 2: me of a young Hassan white Side. I heard that

1926
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 2: on Saturday, like everybody is, here's who he reminds me

1927
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 2: of in the NBA. It's like great, but that's not

1928
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 2: really relevant right now, Like that, that doesn't mean anything.

1929
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 2: This is not an NBA draft cast, like this is

1930
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 2: not a comparison cast. But that's like his analysis almost

1931
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 2: always takes you there, or when I played on great teams,

1932
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 2: when I played with the Keem Elijah Wan. But dude,

1933
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 2: where is Theekeem Elijah Wan. He's not out there right now.

1934
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 2: That's not that's not helpful. I'll tell you what is helpful, though,

1935
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 2: I wouldness support from Indianapolis. When we come back. Our

1936
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 2: friend will call him friend of the programs named Torres

1937
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:47,480
Speaker 2: and Martin, Aaron Torres. He will join us from Indianapolis

1938
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 2: where he's covering the Final four and tell us what

1939
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 2: he saw and maybe even what he heard, because I

1940
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 2: have to immediate I have to imagine anybody that he

1941
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 2: spoke to, or even if he just overheard played Fly

1942
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 2: on the Wall during some conversations after that second game. Uh,

1943
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:04,640
Speaker 2: that had to turn some heads. So we'll talk to

1944
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Torres on the other side. We are live in

1945
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,719
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports radio studios. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1946
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:12,000

1950
01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 2: It will be Michigan the number one seed against the

1951
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 2: number two seed, the Yukon Huskies, who defeated Illinois seventy

1952
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 2: one to sixty two. A Yukon grad joins us right now.

1953
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 2: You may know him from Torres and Martin. That's the

1954
01:37:43,160 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 2: name of this program. Usually he's the Torres. I'm the Martin.

1955
01:37:46,520 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Torres is live in Indianapolis, where he's covered in

1956
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: the Final fours. He does every single year. Aaron, what's happening.

1957
01:37:55,720 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 5: Well, the pleasure to join you guys and Arnie. I'm sorry, buddy, No.

1958
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 4: You're not. No, you're not You're not You're not sorry.

1959
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 5: I just can, I asked him. Great, this is like

1960
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 5: a great sports talk radio topic that I was thinking about.

1961
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 5: Arizona did a school record for win, first Big twelve

1962
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:21,840
Speaker 5: regular season title, first Big Fall Tournament title, first Final

1963
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 5: four and twenty five years in arguably the best regular

1964
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 5: season in school history. Can you look back on this

1965
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 5: season as a success given the way that it ended.

1966
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know I was. I said, this is Jason,

1967
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 4: and I said one yes, because of the reasons that

1968
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 4: you mentioned out there. We had a very young team.

1969
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:42,560
Speaker 4: We played a murderous schedule. We only had two losses.

1970
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 4: One came in overtime, one came on the road against Kansas,

1971
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 4: against two very good clubs out there. We had a

1972
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 4: good tournament until the end there where we played in Michigan. Yes,

1973
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,680
Speaker 4: we got clover. There's no ifans or butts about it.

1974
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:57,960
Speaker 4: I would have loved for it at least to be

1975
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 4: close by halftime. But it was a very successful year.

1976
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:05,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll remember this year was a really good team.

1977
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 4: Unfortunately we just didn't get to the finals.

1978
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe it's more can you remember it fondly because

1979
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 5: it's like just the way that it ended. And by

1980
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,839
Speaker 5: the way, I will rarely admit I was the cockiest

1981
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 5: yukon fan on planet Earth at you know, eight forty

1982
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 5: five Eastern time, and I, you know, I'm wondering if

1983
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 5: if I'm you know, if I'm walking the same plank

1984
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 5: to the same fate on Monday night. But it was

1985
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 5: an interesting conversation. We're kind of have it leaving the arena,

1986
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 5: just given how it ended, you know, how an Arizona

1987
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 5: fan would remember the league.

1988
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 4: How was the crowd out there? Was it mostly Illinois fans?

1989
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 4: I heard there were a lot of Illinois fans that

1990
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 4: made the truck down there.

1991
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, there were a ton of Illinois fans.

1992
01:39:49,439 --> 01:39:51,839
Speaker 5: I will tell you the first game, it was actually

1993
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 5: really fun because they you know, first of all, the

1994
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 5: first half they didn't like how the game was being officiated. Now,

1995
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:00,880
Speaker 5: the second half was kind of a train wreck from

1996
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 5: an officiating perspective. I thought Illinois got a lot of calls, there,

1997
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 5: a lot of ticky text stuff, especially after Hurley kind

1998
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,040
Speaker 5: of got into the reps. Is about nine to ten

1999
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,680
Speaker 5: minutes to go. But it was fun because, you know,

2000
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 5: the Illinois fans really did not appreciate Dan Hurley. And obviously,

2001
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 5: you guys know Dan Hurley well enough to know that

2002
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 5: he absolutely embraced you know, Jason new worked in wrestling,

2003
01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 5: the guy that comes out, you know, the you know,

2004
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 5: the guy that comes out to the booze and you know,

2005
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 5: puts his ear to the crowd, almost like how Roger

2006
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 5: Candell kind of embraces the booze at the NFL Draft.

2007
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 5: It's like Hurley loves that and feeds off of it,

2008
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,839
Speaker 5: and so that, more than anything already is what made

2009
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 5: Tonight's so fun is the Illinois fans viscerally frustrated with

2010
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 5: Dan Hurley, Dan Hurley eating it up. Incredible atmosphere as

2011
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 5: all these final fours are, but I will definitely say

2012
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:56,920
Speaker 5: it was a lot of Illinois fans. If we do

2013
01:40:56,960 --> 01:40:59,599
Speaker 5: have any Yukon or Michigan fans listening, I think you're

2014
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 5: gonna be a lot good tickets available after Illinois long style.

2015
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I I told Arnie this, and I

2016
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 2: said I wasn't going to revel in this, even though

2017
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 2: I'd picked Arizona to win it all. Aaron, I also,

2018
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 2: this thing felt like just disheartening and demoralizing if you're

2019
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 2: an Arizona fan, like watching this, especially with the hype

2020
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 2: all week long, and even us saying this felt like

2021
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:25,000
Speaker 2: the de facto championship game and he kind of hated

2022
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 2: that it was being played in the semi finals. What

2023
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 2: was the discourse in any conversations you had following the

2024
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 2: game or maybe even during the game when you saw

2025
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 2: how it was going to go, Like, did we realize Michigan.

2026
01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:43,000
Speaker 2: Was this good? Like, what were people saying about this?

2027
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:46,320
Speaker 2: Because this was one of the most dominant performances against

2028
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,679
Speaker 2: a really good team that I've seen in a very

2029
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 2: long time.

2030
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, going's one, you know, Michigan in person, maybe the

2031
01:41:55,800 --> 01:42:02,240
Speaker 5: most impressive combination of baseline just incredible talent with all

2032
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,559
Speaker 5: of the fundamentals that you need as well. Like it

2033
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 5: was crazy the cutting and the spacing and the back

2034
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 5: cutting and the you know, there was one play I

2035
01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 5: just vividly remember where some guy was kind of cutting

2036
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,719
Speaker 5: across the lane. He caught a pass and then catches

2037
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 5: it and immediately shoots over a hard chest pass into

2038
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,759
Speaker 5: the corner for a wide open free And might sound stupid,

2039
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 5: but like those are the things that you're taught, like

2040
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,080
Speaker 5: in the first grade. Is like when you when you

2041
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 5: pass the ball, you passed it, you really put the

2042
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,599
Speaker 5: mustard on it. And so they are incredible to watch

2043
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 5: in person. And yeah, I don't even really remember the question,

2044
01:42:37,600 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 5: to be honest, but it was as good as I

2045
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 5: thought they would be. It was better as far as

2046
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 5: far as the discourse. Yeah, you know, listen and and

2047
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 5: I really already I do. I do feel terrible for

2048
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:50,800
Speaker 5: you man. But you know, I think what I would

2049
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 5: say about it was my perspective on it was this

2050
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 5: was just the next step for Arizona. I was at

2051
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 5: there opening night game against Florida of the defending champs

2052
01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 5: in Vegas. They weren't underdog there, won the game, won

2053
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:06,639
Speaker 5: the game at Yukon when they were an underdog, won

2054
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 5: the game against Houston. Everybody gave up on them in

2055
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,040
Speaker 5: halftime against Purdue, they win that one, and it's just

2056
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 5: like this just felt like the natural next step of

2057
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,680
Speaker 5: you break the Final four first and now you're an

2058
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 5: underdog yet again as the number one team that's the

2059
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 5: Big Twelve champions, right, So that's where I felt like

2060
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 5: it was. And then of course it goes to the

2061
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,400
Speaker 5: complete opposite direction. But to your point, Jmar, that to

2062
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:32,280
Speaker 5: me was the discourse. But it just felt like the

2063
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 5: next evolution and the team that has been doubted all

2064
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 5: year doing it one more time, setting up a rematch

2065
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 5: with Yukon, and it very obviously did not go that way.

2066
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 4: And remember, now Purdue did beat Michigan, Arizona bee Purdue,

2067
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 4: but take that for what it's worth. Were you surprised

2068
01:43:47,200 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 4: that Lennon Borg came back into the game with eight

2069
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,880
Speaker 4: minutes left in Michigan up by twenty. I'm like, what's

2070
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 4: going on here? This guy's got the bad foot, the

2071
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 4: bad ankle, the bad knee. Why did he even come

2072
01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:59,519
Speaker 4: back into the game. They say anything about that or what.

2073
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,760
Speaker 5: So I didn't go to the Michigan media availability because

2074
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 5: I did my show right after. But Arnie and Jason,

2075
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 5: do you guys know this from covering games in person,

2076
01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 5: is like, sometimes stuff happened and the audience at home

2077
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 5: actually has a better perception of what the reality of

2078
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 5: what's going on is then we in the stadium do.

2079
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:25,040
Speaker 5: And all I saw was I actually was right underneath

2080
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 5: the best when he went down, and I vividly saw

2081
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 5: his face when he was hitting the ground, and I

2082
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:34,439
Speaker 5: was like, oh, he's hurt, and the guy next to

2083
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 5: me was like, no, he's fine. And then he got

2084
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 5: up and he did the walk and all that, and

2085
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 5: then we saw him go to the locker room, and

2086
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,640
Speaker 5: you know, I just was wondering, are they going to

2087
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 5: have to do this without him?

2088
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 4: Now?

2089
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 5: There was a point where it did it matter? And

2090
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 5: then he started second half. He's back on the court.

2091
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 5: So Arnie, you guys, honestly probably a better perspective on

2092
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 5: what happened what was reported all of that, than I do,

2093
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 5: because I just can't give you a good answer on

2094
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 5: what happened with that situation. We got to him.

2095
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we had a he had a MCL sprain,

2096
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 2: and they left it up to him. He was cleared

2097
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 2: and they left it up to him. He was going

2098
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 2: to go back in the game, and he said I

2099
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 2: have to, and so he came back in, and then

2100
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 2: he came back in a second time. And my only

2101
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 2: thinking on that was, well, when is the player, unless

2102
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 2: it's Darren Peterson gonna say I'm not going in, Like

2103
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 2: in that situation, you gotta well, I don't know. I mean,

2104
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 2: he didn't get hurt. So we're kind of looking at

2105
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 2: hypotheticals here. But we've seen a lot of indicators where

2106
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: guys have come back when they're tweaking something else and

2107
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,560
Speaker 2: then they overcompensate and they end up ripping an achilles

2108
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 2: or something else like that. So it definitely surprised me

2109
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 2: in a game where they were that dominant, Like if

2110
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 2: it was close, you could maybe see it, but then

2111
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 2: being up twenty and him being in the game, it

2112
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 2: just seemed unnecessary.

2113
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 5: Like I said, you guys would have better perspective on

2114
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 5: that than he didn't seem to be moving weird or anything.

2115
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 5: It'll be interesting, Like if they don't win on Monday

2116
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 5: and he play well, it will absolutely be a conversation.

2117
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 5: But I trust Dusty May to you know, know, his

2118
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:07,639
Speaker 5: guys blow enough. You know, to your point, Jimard, every

2119
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 5: athlete is gonna want to play. But but I I

2120
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:13,679
Speaker 5: don't know that if Dusty May thinks that he's ready

2121
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:15,760
Speaker 5: to go, even in the blowout win, that I have

2122
01:46:15,800 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 5: a problem with him saying, go ahead, go ahead.

2123
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 4: Who's the who's the front runner for the North Carolina John.

2124
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:23,840
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was about to ask. He's like,

2125
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 2: what's the what's the conversation surrounding Chapel Hill right now?

2126
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:34,600
Speaker 5: I would say Billy Donovan? And if North Carolina waits, Uh,

2127
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:39,679
Speaker 5: If North Carolina waits, I would say, it's still Billy Donovan.

2128
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 5: The big thing is, guys, that you notice is that

2129
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 5: basically that the issue with that is is that.

2130
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 2: On Tuesday.

2131
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so that to me is a big X factor.

2132
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 5: So funny, right before I got a vote, you guy

2133
01:46:58,600 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 5: that was literally asking somebody about that and you know.

2134
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 5: The things that I would say is when when they

2135
01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 5: fired Hubert Davis because the Mortal opened so late this year,

2136
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 5: you kind of felt like, Okay, you got some wiggle

2137
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:13,200
Speaker 5: room to make the higher. But when you clearly spend

2138
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 5: time courting Tommy Lloyd. How serious he was about the job,

2139
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 5: only he knows, but they've spent a lot of time

2140
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 5: courting Tommy Lloyd. And now all of a sudden you

2141
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 5: look up in the portal opens and essentially seventy two

2142
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 5: hours from now, you've got to make some decisions. I

2143
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:30,000
Speaker 5: still think if you can get Billy Donovan, you wait

2144
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 5: the extra week the portal, does it close for three weeks,

2145
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:35,760
Speaker 5: there will be more good players to go in. You

2146
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:39,639
Speaker 5: are North Carolina. That's a question of North Carolina can answer.

2147
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:43,880
Speaker 5: But my guest gets in fact that my guest is

2148
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:46,880
Speaker 5: in fact that if they're willing to wait, I do

2149
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 5: think he did. I'll say this real quick. I'm reveling.

2150
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 5: I've heard Nick says on him he actually would come back.

2151
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 5: I just think you're in such a dead end play

2152
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:58,200
Speaker 5: at Chicago. You're not going anywhere. You guys know, you're

2153
01:47:58,240 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 5: six or seven, whatever it is. I just don't think

2154
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 5: that that's situation that you know, it's not built for

2155
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 5: the long term, so you know, I'll be quick. But

2156
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 5: this isn't the you know, Butler job, Like this is

2157
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 5: freaking North Carolina. If you have the opportunity to take it,

2158
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 5: I just think you have to. But all we're reporting

2159
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 5: is he will not He's not gonna pull a body

2160
01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 5: patrimo and leave with a couple of games left, leave

2161
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 5: with a couple of games up. So what do you have?

2162
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, so do you have Michigan winning or can you

2163
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 2: even admit that as a Yukon.

2164
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:36,200
Speaker 5: Fan, you know, yeah, listen. As the Yukon guy, I

2165
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:39,719
Speaker 5: will tell you I love my husband. I will say

2166
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 5: like it. You know what kind of sucks is the

2167
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 5: X vector is still always going to be again early.

2168
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 5: But it's like us makes Dusty May knows what he's

2169
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 5: doing too, you know, like like it's one of those

2170
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 5: you know, if it was a different coach that maybe

2171
01:48:54,320 --> 01:48:56,439
Speaker 5: was getting buy more on power than anything else, I

2172
01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 5: might feel different. But Dusty May is so good dramatically

2173
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:03,880
Speaker 5: and he's got the work is Listen, this is seven

2174
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:06,559
Speaker 5: and a half point spread. I saw it. It's hard

2175
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 5: for me to talk myself and you got the The other

2176
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:12,759
Speaker 5: thing too, is that it's specifically it's a bad matchup

2177
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,680
Speaker 5: for Yukon because they don't have a brother dealt in.

2178
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,880
Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest variable, It's the biggest. Next

2179
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:23,880
Speaker 5: factor is Taris Reid's amazing. He's playing the best basketball

2180
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,840
Speaker 5: of his career. But I think we too, you know,

2181
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:28,600
Speaker 5: I don't know if the dress the portal open is

2182
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,200
Speaker 5: the dress portal before the game. I'm helping to get

2183
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:34,000
Speaker 5: another Terris reed Er to to start the game. But

2184
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 5: miship that stuff. Matchup, they're so good, even as the

2185
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 5: Yukon guy. I said it, and I mean it is.

2186
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,040
Speaker 5: I think you know, Yukon maybe headed for the same

2187
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 5: fate as Office Span here. They're already creator there at

2188
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 5: the Wildcats on. But what'll happened on Monday time?

Speaker 2: the middle of the Gino ari Ama Dawn Staley brawl

2213

Speaker 2: or something like that. Like that was a there was

2214
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 2: a lot going on there. I thought he might have

2215
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 2: been ordering some fast food at one point during that

2216
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:04,479

01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:19,120

01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty, this is ten total home run robberies.

2293
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 8: He has tied for the most among any major league

2294
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:17,040
Speaker 8: outfielder in that span back to you.

2295
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve heavy Easter to you and is that

2296
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 2: are you celebrating it by being with this gentleman again? Yeah, tomorrow.

2297
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 8: I'm not sure you would call that for celebrating, but yes, absolutely,

2298
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 8: I didn't give them the night off.

2299
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:31,879
Speaker 9: You were here tomorrow.

2300
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 2: Do you ever give him the night off?

2301
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:36,280
Speaker 4: No, Once in a while they'll be nice and give

2302
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 4: him the night off.

2303
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 2: Everyone Arizona had the night off.

2304
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 9: Oh, he gave them the night off.

2305
01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 4: Yes, ouch, Sorry.

2306
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:44,600
Speaker 3: I had to throw that one out there.

2307
01:55:44,640 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 4: I know.

2308
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Time we will come back. We will pick and

2309
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 2: predict Monday Night's game. Do we see a pathway for

2310
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 2: the fighting Danny Hurleys to get their third championship in

2311
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 2: four years? Or are we just waiting for this Michigan

2312
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 2: team to be crowned with the greatness that we have

2313
01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:06,080

2327
01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:54,080
Speaker 2: off the air. This was not one in which we

2328
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 2: were like at the edge of our seats coming on

2329
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,000
Speaker 2: the air because there was a game on that was

2330
01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 2: super dramatic and super important. Now there was a game

2331
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 2: on that was super important, but aren't he Unfortunately it

2332
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 2: was not dramatic. Michigan dominated Arizona, Connecticut was too strong

2333
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:13,560
Speaker 2: for Illinois. That sets up our matchup for Monday night.

2334
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:20,440
Speaker 2: So how does Aaron Torres avoid the same fate as

2335
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 2: your wildcast. I don't know.

2336
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to as much as Connecticut

2337
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 4: is certainly playing some good basketball. Let's be honest, They're

2338
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 4: very lucky to pull out that duke victory. Probably should

2339
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 4: never have been in that situation. I don't think they're

2340
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:40,640
Speaker 4: going to be able to keep up with Michigan, especially

2341
01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 4: the interior. I think Michigan will score early and often.

2342
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:49,200
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see, you know, the you know how

2343
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:56,919
Speaker 4: bad the injury is for Michigan with Lennenborg. But overall

2344
01:57:57,160 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 4: I could see like a fifteen point victory for Mission Michigan,

2345
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 4: like eighty six seventy one something to that effect.

2346
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,760
Speaker 2: So you're still thinking, so yeah, I mean you could

2347
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 2: certainly be right. I mean, nobody's been able to stop

2348
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 2: them so far. Yukon's gonna play decent defense. And then

2349
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 2: are they gonna are they going to kind of limit

2350
01:58:20,160 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 2: the number of possessions because they're an outside shooting team,

2351
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 2: because they're willing to do that, because they've got multiple

2352
01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 2: guys that will do it, and Reid can be underneath

2353
01:58:28,960 --> 01:58:30,640
Speaker 2: to try and clean it up. Although it's gonna be

2354
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:34,160
Speaker 2: tough amongst the trees of Michigan as well. But if

2355
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:39,200
Speaker 2: they can shoot the three effectively in the game and

2356
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 2: get the guards out of their comfort zone for Michigan

2357
01:58:42,200 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 2: where they're not going to defend as well on the perimeter, yeah,

2358
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:47,440
Speaker 2: does that give them a better chance? I mean, I

2359
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:49,000
Speaker 2: the only reason I know that I know what I

2360
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:50,520
Speaker 2: would a chance at all? Go ahead?

2361
01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:52,320
Speaker 4: You know what, I would if I was gonna stop

2362
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 4: Michigan and I didn't see the first half, and I

2363
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 4: know this sounds crazy, I'd watch the first half of

2364
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:02,080
Speaker 4: Michigan an hour with fifty to forty six, it was

2365
01:59:02,160 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 4: a four point lead for Michigan at halftime.

2366
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 2: Can we ask how is it that Howard did that?

2367
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:11,200
Speaker 4: I have no idea. I'd have to rewatch that first

2368
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 4: half and see how they came up with that. And

2369
01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 4: now were they able to think lost by twenty twenty

2370
01:59:16,440 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 4: one points, but fifty to forty six, how did they

2371
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 4: keep close in the first half. I'd probably watch that

2372
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:23,360
Speaker 4: over a couple of times. To be honest, Well, I

2373
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 4: mean they might.

2374
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll tell you what, like the reason why

2375
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 2: you give Connecticut a chance other than just the fact

2376
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 2: that sports can be crazy, is I mean, Danny Hurley

2377
01:59:32,360 --> 01:59:34,680
Speaker 2: knows and I know Aaron said Dusty Mate's really good.

2378
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:37,280
Speaker 2: But Danny Hurley's got a couple of these titles. He's

2379
01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:39,680
Speaker 2: been in this moment, and he's won in these games,

2380
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 2: and he is going to put the chip on the

2381
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,880
Speaker 2: shoulder of that team something fierce going into Monday night.

2382
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:49,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna say we're counted completely out of this thing,

2383
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:50,320
Speaker 2: and he's a master.

2384
01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:52,800
Speaker 4: Of that, right, right, And if they can hit their threes,

2385
01:59:52,840 --> 01:59:54,880
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. But they can't start one for

2386
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 4: eighteen like they did against Duke, because there'll be no

2387
01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:00,960
Speaker 4: comeback at that point. It'll be too far buried.

2388
02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a seven and a half point game.

2389
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:05,320
Speaker 2: I would take that all day if I were a gambler.

2390
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,440
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm against it on mini grounds, but uh,

2391
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 2: I mean it's very possible. This is another twenty point game.

2392
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:13,880
Speaker 2: I hope not. I want there to be a good

2393
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:16,919
Speaker 2: title game. The final four was kind of disappointing overall.

2394
02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:20,280
Speaker 2: But sorry for your wild Cats. I'm sure you'll still

2395
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 2: be thank you. You'll still be talking about it. It's

2396
02:00:23,040 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 2: always good to have you on here, though, Brother. Enjoy

2397
02:00:26,760 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 2: the rest of your Easter. Everybody else, enjoy the rest

2398
02:00:29,760 --> 02:00:32,440
Speaker 2: of your Easter. We'll be back next week. We'll get

2399
02:00:32,480 --> 02:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Torres his thoughts a lot from the
