1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire Fan? It's me Jason McIntyre, 3 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Friday, March the seventh. Oh, we have 4 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: a phenomenal podcast to take you to the weekend. You know, 5 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: it's March Madness. 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 3: Loo. 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: I love college basketball. The tournament is selection Sundays, like 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: what two weeks away. It's phenomenal. You gotta love it. 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: So to preview March Madness, you've got Jeff Goodman. Previously, 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: he's been at Fox ESPN. I think he was a Yeah, 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: he's been everywhere covering college troops for like twenty five 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: thirty years. He joins he's with the Field of sixty eight, 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: his own venture, which is pretty cool working for himself. 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: But before we get to that, I just quickly have 15 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: to talk about Lakers one thirteen Nicks one oh nine 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: in overtime, absolutely thriller at Crypto. The Lakers were in 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: rough shape. You know, you could tell Austin Reeve's first 18 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: game back. He can't throw it in the ocean. I think 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: he was like one for twelve in regulation before a 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 2: big time shot in overtime. He was on a minute's 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: restriction or something, but he just didn't look good, right, uh, 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: Ruey's still out, Durri and Phinney Smith couldn't make a three. 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: At halftime, the Lakers were four of twenty two from deep, 24 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: four to twenty two. You're not winning any games. No, 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: actually there wasn't half time. That was like a late 26 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: third quarter four twenty two from three, and then they 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: finish ten of forty two, meaning they went ten for 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: the last twenty fifty percent from deep. That's you know, 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: gave Vincent Luka nanchic. But overall, the big story here 30 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: is the Knicks played really really well. They kind of 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: blew the lead there late with Luca hitting a bomb 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: and Lebron a couple and gave Vincent threw in one 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: or two. And then you go to overtime and adding 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: insult to injury, Jalen Brunson goes down. Brunson was unguardable. 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: He switched on to Luca at at least half a 36 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: dozen times in the game. Sorry, in the fourth quarter 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: in overtime and we just attack, and you know, Austin 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: Reeves tried, he couldn't stop it, and they would get 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Jackson Hayes. Lebron decided to take Jalen Brunson for two possessions. 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: He ended up fouling him like Brunson is just unguardable. 41 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: He had thirty nine points in forty one minutes, but 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: then turned his ankle badly and shot the free throws. 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 2: He made them, of course, because he's so good at 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: the line, and then he exited the game and it 45 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 2: looked like a bad ankle twist. We know what the 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 2: Knicks narrative is going to be today. Those guys, Oh, 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 2: they can't win games against good teams. They never will, 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: They're not a contender. Blah blah blah. Folks, these losses 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: aren't the worst thing in the world. They're not because 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: currently the Knicks are third. Okay, they can't catch the 51 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: Celtics for second, so they're then best case scenario, if 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: they tread water the rest of the way, they'll face 53 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: the Celtics in the second round. They're not beating the 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: Celtics and certainly not in the second round. Okay, now, 55 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: maybe we can make an argument for conference finals. You know, 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: Knicks superstar players start cooking the Celtics, Oe Colt whatever. 57 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: But after the Celtics at three, you've got the Bucks 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: at four. Okay, you're only two and a half up 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: on the Bucks. If Brunson's out for two weeks here, 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: it's not the worst thing in the world. If the 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: Knicks fall to four, they would then face the Pacers 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: in the first round. You know, Pacers are all right, 63 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: I mean, Pistons at six or not not that bad. 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: And Miami's got you know, heat culture even though they're 65 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: not have good players really, so then the Knicks would 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: face the Pacers, and then in the second round the 67 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: Calves as opposed to Boston. I think, you know, if 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: I'm the Knicks, I'm not scared of the Cleveland Cavaliers. 69 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: I'm not. I don't care what the scores were during 70 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: the season. That's the regular season. We know in the 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: playoffs you get a different whistle. I mean, go ahead 72 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: and tell me you know who on the Calves is 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: your lockdown defender for Jalen bruns Are you putting DeAndre 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 2: Hunter on him? I don't. I mean Hunter gets lit 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: up by Wings. He's a good defender, but he's not elite. 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: If I'm the Knicks, That's my thought heading into the playoffs, like, hey, listen, 77 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: we need to rest Jalen Brunson. He can chill. Let 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: these other guys cook, and if we lose a couple 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: of games, so what, who cares? Right, as long as 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: you can avoid the Celtics. Now ask for the Lakers. 81 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: You know a lot of people think I'm getting to 82 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: be a major Laker homer, and maybe that's the case. 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: But Lebron had thirty one and twelve and eight and 84 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 2: Luca had thirty two, twelve and seven. Okay, Like this 85 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: team's phenomenal, and you watch them and that fourth quarter 86 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: was back and forth, just haymakers from Luca Lebron, and 87 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 2: it's like, this team is so easy to root for. 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 2: The NBA was super fun. And oh, by the way, 89 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: before we get to Jeff Goodman Lakers first quarter, cash 90 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: is yet again, I'm fairly certain that's fourteen of the 91 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: last sixteen games. Can you bet at Saturday night in 92 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: Boston that streak could end there, but you'll probably be 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: getting at least two or three right Anyways, without further ado, 94 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: let's go to Jeff Goodman from the Field of sixty eight. 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: You know a guy Jason likes to think he knows 96 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: everything when it comes to sports. 97 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: I know what sports fans want. 98 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: But for everything he doesn't. He knows a guy who does. 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: Let's just say I know a guy who knows the 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 4: guy who knows another guy. 101 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's welcome back to straight fire. One of 102 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 2: the most prominent voices in college basketball been covering the 103 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: sport for I don't know, fifteen, twenty thirty years. I 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 2: mean he's been at all the big shops. Now he's 105 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: got his own, no boss to answer to. Field of 106 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 2: sixty eight. Jeff Goodman, how are you? Man? 107 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: Man, it's good to see you. It's been way too long. 108 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 4: It is good to see you. It's been listen, it's 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: been a blast to say. I knew you win. I 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 4: knew you win. 111 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: Nobody knew you, right, Can I say that? 112 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: Well, I've known you for a long time because I'm 113 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: a college basketball nerd, and I would always just pepper 114 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: him with questions. He's probably like, who's this annoying guy? 115 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 116 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: I love you asking me stuff, And I mean, you're 117 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 2: at the top of the food chain there. You know 118 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: everything about the sports. So I figured, you know, I 119 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: love March Madness. Conference Championship Week starts, well, the JV 120 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: Week is this week, and then the Big Ones next week, 121 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: and then the tournament obviously, but you know, we do 122 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 2: a lot of gambling on the pod, and you guys 123 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: talk a lot of gambling. So I mean, for the 124 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: first time in I guess three years, it's kind of 125 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: going to be wide open. The last two years were 126 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: the Yukon Invitational, right, and then this year. I mean, 127 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: I guess you could say Duke and Auburn are favorites, 128 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: but it's not like Yukon last year or the last 129 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: two years, right. 130 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: That's right. 131 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 4: No, I mean, Auburn's been surprisingly dominant all year because 132 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 4: nobody saw this coming. 133 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: Bruce Pearl included, you know, he didn't know they'd be 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: this good. 135 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: But you know it's a combination, right, of the pieces 136 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 4: fitting together and the chemistry is unbelieved. I was down 137 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: there a week or so ago and I did a 138 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 4: TV interview that will air on CBS Final four weekend. 139 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 4: I did it with twenty two year old Player of 140 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 4: the Year candidate, fifth year senior, to Hot Pettiford freshman, 141 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 4: five star freshman, and Miles Kelly and the three of 142 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: them are sitting there and I'm not kidding. It was 143 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: my favorite interview I've done in ten years because all 144 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: they did was shit on each other. I mean, Pettiford 145 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: killed and killed them. The eighteen year old freshman is 146 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: killing the twenty two year old fifth year senior, and 147 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 4: Broom loves it, loves it. 148 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: So like you can just tell. 149 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: And that's hard these days because they've been playing together 150 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 4: for what eight months, all three of them, so like 151 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 4: it's everything together. And Bruce Pearl listened. You could say 152 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: what you want about Bruce Pearl. He is a master motivator. 153 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: He is so good with people and kids and everybody 154 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: that I just think Auburn they've got the whole package. 155 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: And listen what they've done again. You know, the quad 156 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: one wins is out of control this year. Duke's great 157 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 4: because Cooper's better than I thought he'd be. And I'd 158 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 4: seen him forty times in AU ball and he's even 159 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: better Jason, because he's all about winning. I mean when 160 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 4: you saw him in AU ball, he took a team 161 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: from Maine and like took him deep in every au tournament. 162 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: Like main, I mean, there's a team for me. Maine 163 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: has no players. 164 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: Ever, they don't know players, So like right there, you 165 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: knew he's loyal number one and he always just played 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: hard all the time, and his IQ is off the 167 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 4: charts and he guards and he doesn't want it. 168 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 3: He wants to just be one of the guys, which 169 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: again that's part of the deal. 170 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: He hasn't done one one on one interview all year 171 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: in the season, only post stuff post game. He's fine, 172 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: but like we've asked for it and other people have 173 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: and now he just wants to be one. Kind of 174 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: reminds me a little bit of Kawhi in that regard, 175 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: because Kawai just wanted to do his thing. And I 176 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 4: know Kawhi gets a bad rap now from at least 177 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 4: a guy who I think is out of control with 178 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 4: how he kills him. 179 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: Well, he just doesn't know him. 180 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: I think stephen A's problem is he does it no 181 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 4: Kawhi because Kawhi doesn't give a shit about the media. 182 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 3: You know, And that's the beauty of Kawhi, right. 183 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: Kawhi played harder than everybody when he was on the 184 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: court when he was healthy. Cooper five plays so goddamn 185 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 4: hard every possession. So those two are are probably a 186 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: notch above everybody because of what they've done over the 187 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: course of the season. But it's it's also hard to 188 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 4: evaluate Duke in ACC play because the league thanks. 189 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: Brutal year for the ACC. Let's go back to Auburn 190 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: for six. So obviously you tinker around on some of 191 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: these sites, and I'm looking at the Auburn starting five 192 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: and essentially for the guys are transfers. You got Baker Mazarro, 193 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: who's twenty five years old. The modern team is super 194 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: interesting now because, like you said, Pettiford, who's one of 195 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: my favorite players in college. Like, I know he's only 196 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: a freshman, but he I think he gave like twenty 197 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: or more to Houston, Duke, Kentucky, all the good teams. 198 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: They play like. He's really nice. But the way these 199 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: teams are built is just a hodgepodge of veterans, right, 200 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: that's the way to succeed. 201 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, I think Villanova started that a little bit, right, 202 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 4: you know, when Jay Wright was winning titles. Everybody kind 203 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 4: of went to that model, and it went even further 204 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 4: when you had the extra COVID year. 205 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: Everybody's saying like, Okay, this is our advantage. Right. 206 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: In the last couple of years, the freshman classes have 207 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 4: been atrocious overall. This year is obviously much better, but 208 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: you look at it and you still say, okay, Cooper 209 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 4: Flag number one, East Bailey and Dylan Harper two and three, 210 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 4: they're not making the tournament. Trey Johnson's in there vj Edgecumbe, 211 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 4: they're both barely making the tournament if they do. So, Like, 212 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: Cooper Flag is the outlier here, and there's a reason 213 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 4: he's the outlier, just because again it's funny because going 214 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 4: into the year, everybody asked me. Everybody's like, can he 215 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 4: be a guy you build your NBA team around? 216 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: And I was like, no, I don't think so. I mean, 217 00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 3: he's clearly a number two guy. 218 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: And now now I don't know if you can win 219 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 4: a championship with him as your number one. 220 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: But I'm not saying no anymore. I'm not saying no. 221 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 4: I think you can build your franchise around Cooper Flag 222 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 4: absolutely if you have the right pieces around Well. 223 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real tough discussion because frankly, if when 224 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: Jokic was drafted, could you build a franchise around him? 225 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: Hell no, Yannas Singdal Steph Curry, no way, I mean 226 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: other than Lebron like. 227 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: But we didn't know a lot. 228 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 4: We didn't know a lot about the Joker or Yannis 229 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: at that point and Steph. The questions were there, right, like, 230 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 4: look at him, can he guard anybody? Can he play 231 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 4: the point? Look at his body? Like there were a 232 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 4: lot with this kid. You're like, he's got the body, 233 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: he's got the IQ. He's proven it at the highest 234 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: level as a he. 235 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 3: Started as a seventeen year old freshman. 236 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: Seventeen wasn't reclassified like a lot of these kids. So 237 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 4: there's a lot more that we know about Cooper that 238 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 4: you want to pick apart, Like how much have you 239 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 4: heard anybody pick anything apart more? You know, it's usually 240 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: the more you see these kids, the more we want 241 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: to tear him down. I know that's like the NBA 242 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 4: deal right now, and I don't want to get into that, 243 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 4: but ugly, but. 244 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 3: You can't pick Cooper apart. What are you gonna what 245 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: are you gonna say negatively? 246 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: He's hitting thirty eight percent on threes, right, that's eighty 247 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: two percent from the line. The guys, he's amazing here here. 248 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: The one question I asked was, so, Jeff, when Zion 249 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: hit Duke, it was like, oh my gosh, Zion's totally dominant. 250 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: I feel like we should have had that for Cooper 251 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: flag but we don't. Is this about swag and like 252 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: ridiculous dunking and breaking out of shoes because Cooper's flag 253 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: has been kind of sort of as good as Zion. 254 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 4: No, I don't think ESPN did a good job in 255 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: the preseason because they're the ones who drive this. Let's 256 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 4: face it, they are the ones who drive it, and 257 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 4: I don't think they did it's good a job because 258 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 4: I remember being in those meetings, those those preseason meetings 259 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 4: at ESPN, even when Ben Simmons was was coming in. 260 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: Lsu oh, lsu. 261 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna 262 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 4: hammer this home. We are gonna honestly make people, uh 263 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 4: you know, hate this kid because they're gonna hear about 264 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 4: him so much. And Cooper, first of all, he's not unlikable, 265 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: like you're a normal white duke player. 266 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: He's not laightoner yeah yeah, yeah, not. 267 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: Like Latoner had the facial expressions. 268 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 3: Yeah he was a dick, JJ reddick was a dick. 269 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: He was, He would admit that to him. 270 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Cooper is not that Cooper is. 271 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: He kind of keeps the same expression in his face, 272 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 4: doesn't talk shit really, so he's harder to dislike it'll 273 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 4: be interesting to see in the NCAA tournament if they 274 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: go deep and the world catches on to who the 275 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: hell Cooper flag is? 276 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: If they does he become unlikable? 277 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: If you don't think they were the Final four borderline lock? 278 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: No, I do, I do. I do think. I actually 279 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: think Duke is more of a lock than Auburn. 280 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree. I think that's a good analysis. 281 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: Let me ask you about this Florida team. Uh so 282 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: I keep betting against him, keep losing. I know Todd 283 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: Golden went through some sort of scandal earlier this year, 284 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: or maybe it was his assistance, but there was. 285 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: A tittle nine No, it is a Title nine thing 286 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: that he was completely cleared of. 287 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: That. I know a lot more than I can say. 288 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: Wait, so oh wait? Was he the one sliding in 289 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: dms of girls allegedly alleged alleged and he was cleared 290 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: of all that. 291 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 3: I was clear to most of it. He was clear 292 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: to the Title nine investigation. I don't know if he's 293 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: interested in. 294 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: Some m I mean, these women were posted like college 295 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: kids were posting stuff, and I thought like, oh, they're 296 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: going to go sideways, And I mean, they've been amazing 297 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: They're on a run right now this season. The last 298 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: twenty five games, they've covered twenty that's like unheard of. 299 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: They're totally dominant. The only thing that has me off 300 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: on them, and again this is my small thing, is 301 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: the free throw shooting. And I cannot stand betting on 302 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: teams that can't choot free throws in March because you know, 303 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: the whistles, the fowls. But what do you think of 304 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: this Florida team? 305 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: And their guards are awesome? 306 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I remember when they got Elijah Martin from 307 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: FAU he was so bad, not bad last year, but 308 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 4: two years ago. Obviously they went to the on a 309 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: four him and Nellie Davis and he was great. And 310 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: then last year he just didn't look like himself, and 311 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: I think part of it was it was just a 312 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 4: Nelly Davis dominated team and Elijah to know where he fit. 313 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: He's been awesome with Florida. 314 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 4: Alex Connon uh Ford has been phenomenal. They they're again 315 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 4: their guards, they're three or four guards. They've actually got four. 316 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: This kid, Denzel Aberdeen comes off the bench and he 317 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 4: played when Eliza was hurt. But a Walter Clayton junior 318 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 4: from Iona chose to go to Florida instead of following 319 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: Rick Patino. Imagine if he was at Saint John's. 320 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: Because he's the first team All American in my opinion, 321 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: Walter Clayton, Oh yeah, he's that good. Wow, that good 322 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: this year. 323 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so him, Elijah Martin, will Richard. Will Richard came 324 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 4: from Belmont, So those three kids, think about that Iona Fau, 325 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 4: which is a mid major. I know, we don't want 326 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: to say that because they went to the Final four, 327 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 4: but they if you go down to Fau's Jim, you'll 328 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 4: you'll you'll say, like, this is a true mid major. 329 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 4: I was just down there last week and Belmont and 330 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: again you look at they don't have I think they 331 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 4: have won like five one, four or five star kid 332 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: on their whole roster. So they've done a great job 333 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: evaluating and again getting old and their pieces fit together 334 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 4: so well. 335 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 336 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 3: The only question I have, the bigger one. 337 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 4: Than the free throw shooting, is like, yeah, Ty Golden 338 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 4: in a big moment, like he's unproven going up against. 339 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: You know, the Bruce Pearls of the world. 340 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 4: The Natos is the one that he's done it in 341 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 4: SEC play, but it's a different ballgame in the NCAA Tournament. 342 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 343 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: the nation.

I tweeted this and all 347 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: these Alabama fans got pissed. Any did they peak too early? 348 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: They've lost too straight now in the SEC. That's not 349 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: the worst thing in the world. You know, you're losing 350 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: to Auburn Tennessee, Florida, but they're you know, they lost 351 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: four of six here. They have to face Auburn again Saturday, 352 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: so you know, you don't want to go into the 353 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: NCAA tournament or even a conference tournament kind of sliding 354 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: like this. What do you think's wrong with Natos's team? 355 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 4: They're not as good as shooting team as we thought. 356 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 4: They lost the kid Latrell right so back in November. 357 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 4: He was one of the better shooters. Their pieces don't 358 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 4: fit quite as well because they brought in the big 359 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 4: transfer from Rutgers Cliff and Moory, and he really doesn't 360 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: fit the way they play. You know, they need a big, 361 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 4: they needed a big and a rim protector, but they 362 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 4: needed like a skilled, you know guy on the offensive end. 363 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 4: Because of the way Alabama plays, they got to have 364 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 4: somebody that can that can make some shots, and Cliff 365 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 4: just doesn't give him anything on offense, so it's like 366 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: hard to play him. 367 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: And Mark Sears to me, is the guy that he 368 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: just he took him the final four last year. 369 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 4: A very underwhelming team talent wise, I think a year ago, 370 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: they're more talented this year. They also Darien Reid, who's 371 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 4: going to be a first round pick, who's been out 372 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 4: for the last like month, month and a half, who's 373 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 4: their most versatile player. 374 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: But is he going to be back? 375 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. 376 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 4: I got to find out what the update is with him, 377 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 4: but I think it's serious. It's been a roller coaster 378 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 4: ride and he hasn't become the leader that Natoes was hoping. 379 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 4: He's benched him a couple of times this year. He 380 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: can be dominant. I mean, he can be so good 381 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 4: when he wants to be, you know, getting in the lane, scoring, 382 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 4: making life easier for his teammates. 383 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: And then sometimes he can look like selfish, Yes, very selfish. 384 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: Well yeah, let me ask you about Grant Nelson. He 385 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: kind of blew up in the NCAA tournament last year. 386 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: I thought he would try to go to the league. 387 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: He has some characteristics length, can step out and shoot it. 388 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: Tho he's not shooting a well this year. Where are 389 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 2: you on this kid, Nelson? 390 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, not a great shooter. Not a great shooter. That's 391 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: what's holding him back. That's why he didn't go last year. 392 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 4: You know again and thin and if you're not a 393 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 4: great shooter. He's good athlete, really really good athlete. Came 394 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: from mid major in the Summit League. He's from Dakota. 395 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 4: But I think again, their piece is just like they 396 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: should be better, even you watched them last week, right 397 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 4: and they give the ball at the end of the 398 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 4: game to the freshman le Baron Fylon and he has 399 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 4: a five second call on one play, then he doesn't 400 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 4: get the ball to years on another play, then he 401 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 4: drives in. I feel like they doesn't really know who 402 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 4: they are yet and we're so late in the game. 403 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: That's not a good thing. 404 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: So we haven't talked a lot about the a SEC 405 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: other than your little dig that they're down. I mean 406 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: they've got what like seventeen teams then only like three 407 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 2: year good in North Carolina's probably not going to get in. 408 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 2: What do you think about Clemson? 409 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: Underrated? Really? Really? 410 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: They were a hot team for me last year. I 411 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: liked them going to the tournament, and I like the 412 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: kid brownwell, the coaches he's good. 413 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 4: Rod Brunell's really good, a great job, and he kind 414 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 4: of lived his life in the hot seat for the 415 00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 4: longest time. 416 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: He could be there's a chance with what's going on 417 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 3: in Indiana. So I don't know. If you want me 418 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: to go on a tangent here to the. 419 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: Oh, go for it. I don't know what's going on 420 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: in Indiana because I don't pay attention to crap teams. 421 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Indiana, obviously, Mike Woodson crazy. I pay attention to 422 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 4: this one even more because my daughter is a junior 423 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 4: in Indiana. 424 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 3: So I'm taking fifty grand in a year to her education. 425 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: So I care fifty fifty Indiana. 426 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, hotly count. 427 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, wait, how old are your kids now? 428 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: No, they're middle school, so we're not quite there yet. 429 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 2: But uh, I guess I got start putting some money aside. 430 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: Holy count. 431 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 3: Definitely, dude, definitely don't spend it all gambling, all right? 432 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 4: No, no, definitely, So they Woodson he's out, you know, 433 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 4: a month and a half ago. Whatever, they've rebounded, they've 434 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 4: actually played well lately. They're probably right on the bubble, 435 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 4: which would be a crazy thing if they basically got him, 436 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 4: you know, to say he's stepping down. 437 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 3: He didn't really want to step down. 438 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: Oh you think they shoved him out? Oh yeah, oh 439 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: d I didn't follow it closely. 440 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't want to go. 441 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 4: So anyway, So it's open now and Indiana fans think 442 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 4: they're going to get you know, first it was Brad Stevens. Oh, 443 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 4: come on, crazy, Brad. This year's you how much Brad's changed. 444 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,719 Speaker 4: So Brad years ago was the biggest and I've known 445 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 4: since he was an assistant at Butler. But when he 446 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 4: becomes a head coach of Butler, Brad is the ultimate 447 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 4: rules guy. 448 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: He'll never break a rule, ever break a rule. 449 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 4: Like I get out of my car in Vegas and 450 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 4: an au event, he gets out of his car at 451 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 4: the same time. It's in the morning in a gym 452 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: watching recruits and they had gotten a commitment from a 453 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 4: kid that morning, and I'm just making small talk at 454 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: that point, I'm like, hey, Brad, who. 455 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 3: Did you get? You know, who's the skid you got? 456 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: He's like, Jeff, I can't comment on him. 457 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 4: I'm like, Brad, it's just you and me here in 458 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 4: the frigging parking lot, Like, dude, I just I'm making 459 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 4: small talk here. Well, Brad, who never comments really on anything. 460 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 4: The Indiana stuff, you know, it started to percolate a 461 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 4: little bit and all these fans think they're getting Brad. 462 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 4: So I texted him and called him, and he put 463 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 4: out a statement saying like no, no, I'm happy here 464 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 4: like I'm not. 465 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 2: And you leaving a dynasty of the NBA for Indiana. 466 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 4: And nobody is going back right now to college to 467 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 4: coach in this climate of where it's a complete mess, 468 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 4: with nil with a portal, all that, when you could 469 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 4: get a job in the NBA whenever he wanted. If 470 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 4: Brad Stevens says tomorrow, I want to be the head 471 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 4: coach in the NBA, he'll get five teams every opening 472 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 4: this year. We'll call him every opening. So anyway, Indiana. Sorry, 473 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 4: So you know Brad Stevens. No, you know Dusty May No, 474 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 4: he went to Indiana. He was a manager. He decides 475 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: he's staying at Michigan because it fits some better. So 476 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: this thing could fall I've said they should go after 477 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 4: Iowa State head coach tj Otzilberger. I don't think he'd 478 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 4: take it at the end of the day, you know, 479 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: I don't think Scott Drew will take it at Baylor. 480 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 4: He turned down Kentucky a year ago. So I think 481 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: you could get down to where you're talking Brad Burnell 482 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 4: from Clemson legitimately being in the mix, or a Ben McCullum, 483 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 4: a first year head coach who was in the D 484 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 4: two ranks who just won the Missouri Valley at Drake 485 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: in his first season. Those guys could be in the 486 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 4: mix of Indiana because guys aren't moving, Jason. They're not 487 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: moving because they've got big contracts. If they like their ads, 488 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: they're not uprooting their family. As long as they got nil, 489 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 4: they're not gonna move. 490 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been there at Clemson for fifteen years now. Again, 491 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: I don't know what his family situation, as kids like 492 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: that's tough to bail after fifteen years. You got to 493 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: really want to be in Bloomington. 494 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: No, and his ad has been very loyal to him 495 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 4: at Clemson. Yeah, a couple of years ago his ad 496 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 4: legitimately young ad named Graham neph said to him before 497 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 4: the year, he said, listen, there's a make or break year. 498 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 4: If you make the tournament, well you know you're staying 499 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 4: if you don't. If you don't make the NCAA tournament, 500 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 4: this is it. He didn't make it. They end up 501 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 4: going to the NIIT and Graham kept them because he said, like, 502 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: we're still drawing well attendance wise. He's a great dude, 503 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 4: and part of it is too keep your nose clean 504 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 4: and climbs in basketball, make sure because you got to 505 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: protect football. 506 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's obviously tough thing. Interestingly, you mentioned the 507 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 2: guy at Drake, so he just got there, brings all 508 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 2: of his dudes and they're one of the best stories 509 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: of college basketball, right. 510 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: Oh. 511 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 4: I saw them three times in Charleston in November. They've 512 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 4: got a point guard. You got to watch his kid 513 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 4: who as a huge basketball fan of the right way. 514 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 4: This kid's name is Bennett Starts. He is a stud. 515 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 3: He is like a big point guard who's not going 516 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: to blow you away with with athleticism or anything like that. Again, 517 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: he had one I think he had won scholarship and 518 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: it was to Northwest Missouri State coming is that d 519 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 3: two or three two two. 520 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: So they go there and he brings his entire starting 521 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: five other than their leading scorer who exhausted his eligibility 522 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 4: last year. He brings the other four guys with him 523 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 4: to Drake, and everybody's like, well, how good can they be? 524 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 3: I mean, you know four the two players. 525 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like it's going to be a big time rebuilding 526 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 4: year at Drake after Darrin de Rivies, you know, was 527 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 4: dominant the last couple of years with his son Tucker. 528 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 4: And they go out there and I'm telling you, when 529 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 4: I saw him in charge, they beat Vandy and Charleston 530 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: and I'm like, this team is for real, Like they 531 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 4: play such a fun brand of basketball. 532 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 3: And this kid starts. I hope he decides to stay. 533 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: But if he goes in the portal. 534 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 2: Wait, why would he go on the portal? Oh? You 535 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: think he could play at like North Carolina or something. 536 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 4: I mean, he could play anywhere, like legitimately, Jason, like 537 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 4: he you know, these guys were getting these big big 538 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 4: men were getting two million dollars this past offseason, Great 539 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 4: Osibor at Washington, Coleman Hawkins at Kansas State. Like, if 540 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 4: I'm paying somebody two million next year, I'm paying Bennetts start. 541 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 2: Coleman Hawkins got got two million? 542 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 3: Now? 543 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: Is that rumor or fact a combination? Yeah, it's right 544 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 4: there in that two million dollars. 545 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask about Drake because I'm like kind 546 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: of interested in betting on them because of this story. 547 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: But they've played a lot of overtime games against and 548 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: they haven't really you know, they're not clobbering some of 549 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: these bad teams, and they haven't stepped up in class. Really. 550 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: It looks like their best win was against Kansas State, 551 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: which is kind of rivalry, and the Vandy winn was good, 552 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: but it was November. Can they make a run to 553 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: like this sweet sixteen or are they potentially getting knocked off? 554 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 555 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 4: I mean I love them, so I want to say yes. 556 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 4: I want to say yes in the worst way. But 557 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: I'm also kind of realistic here that they haven't played 558 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 4: great in the valley. They've been, you know, very good, 559 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 4: but they've had their stumbling box. 560 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 3: They're not overpowering, that's the problem. 561 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: They're not big, they're not super athletic. 562 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 3: But man, I'll be rooting for them. I wouldn't say, 563 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: I'd say if they. 564 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 4: Can get a win they get one win in the 565 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 4: NCAA tournament, that would be a hell of a year. 566 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: So you mentioned Saint John's earlier that one of the 567 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: best stories in the sport. Obviously, Rick Patino, a genius, 568 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: comes at number two. Defensively, this is probably the best 569 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 2: team since didn't they have a guiding Thornton? Was it 570 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: Bootsy Thornton? 571 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 572 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, they just haven't been good in years. I mean 573 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: the last time they were this good, you're talking about 574 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 4: like Chris Mullen playing for something. That's the last time 575 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 4: they were like, yes, this good. I mean this relevant 576 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 4: right their top ten. I went a week and a 577 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 4: half ago at the Garden. It was the weekend of 578 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 4: Duke played Illinois and beat the crap out of him, 579 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 4: and then the next day Patino beat Yukon and Dan Hurley. 580 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 4: And listen, right now, Patino's running the Big East. I mean, 581 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 4: he's absolutely in year two. At seventy two years old 582 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 4: or whatever he is. He does not look or act 583 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 4: like a guy in seventy. You know, some coaches look 584 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 4: and act older, and especially when I deal with these guys, 585 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 4: you can sense it. Rick Patino does not seem like 586 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 4: he's aged a bit. In the last ten years, especially 587 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 4: with how on top of things he is. 588 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: I mean, he's and. 589 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 4: He's got these guys believing like we win games with 590 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 4: our defense. 591 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 592 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 4: And I talked to Russ Smith who played for him 593 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 4: at Louisville. 594 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 2: And broke his leg. 595 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: What's up? 596 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 2: Is Russ Smith the one who broke his leg in 597 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. 598 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 3: No, that's Kevin Waere. Kevin brus Smith was the super 599 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 3: fun yeah. 600 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: Bucket like thirty five against Michigan or something in the tournament. 601 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 4: He just went off and Russ Russ made a good point, 602 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 4: he said, He goes, I know they're not a great 603 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 4: shooting team. He goes, we weren't a great shooting team 604 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 4: when we won it all and went to the final four. 605 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 4: But as the year went on, we figured it out 606 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 4: because we played so hard defensively, because you had no 607 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: choice that your legs weren't there right, you're and you 608 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: had to figure out how to play that level of 609 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 4: defense and still have your legs and still be able 610 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 4: to make threes and make shots. And he said, I 611 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: think at the end of the year, here you're starting 612 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 4: to see saying John shoot it much better, which they 613 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 4: did the first half. 614 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: Of the Yukon game, they were like eight of sixteen. 615 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but Jeff perkenpom they're three hundred and thirty 616 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 2: seventh and three point shooting. That's out of like three 617 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: to sixty. 618 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: I think it's amazing. 619 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: And in free throw shooting they're three hundred. That stuff 620 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: concerns me. Plus you never know, March madness. You got 621 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 2: a tight whistle. All of a sudden, you got dudes 622 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: in foul trouble. 623 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen again, Sweet sixteen. I'm fine with that's a 624 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 4: huge Yeah. 625 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 3: I don't think they go further than that, all right? 626 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 2: Is there a sleeper outside of say the top twenty five? 627 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could put Yukon into that territory. 628 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 2: Could they be a sleeper? They just don't have it. 629 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 3: No, they could. 630 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 4: I don't think they can win the whole thing again. 631 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 4: I don't think they can. They can do the three 632 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 4: peat again, but I certainly think yeah, Alex Caravan looks 633 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 4: more like Alex Caravan than he has in the in the. 634 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: Last few games. His confidence is. 635 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 4: Back at this point. You know McNeely. Liam mcneely's awesome 636 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 4: as a as a freshman.

And the 656 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 4: other part is he can't get by dudes. Not only 657 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 4: can he not guard really at a high level, but 658 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 4: he can't get by dudes in the biggiest He should 659 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 4: have seen the WCC. Think about it, it's the perfect 660 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 4: league for somebody that's not a great athlete. 661 00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: So where do you think you'll leave and go? 662 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 3: So more I would think, I mean, why would you 663 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: stay there? 664 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's a bummer. I mean I love that 665 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: guy's game in the now in the WCC. You're right, 666 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 2: a total another story. So anyway, sorry to interrupt. You 667 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 2: could be a sleeper anyone else. 668 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 4: I'm trying to think who else could be a sleeper? 669 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: I like, say Mary's. I mean, I think they're the 670 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 4: end of the top twenty five right now. I just 671 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 4: think Randy Bennett's one of the elite coaches in the game. 672 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 3: I mean, he's so good. 673 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 4: If you've kind of like you get a chance, I 674 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 4: know you're not close close, but if you ever get 675 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 4: a chance, go to a Randy Bennett practice. 676 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: Man, it's like a complete clinic. 677 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 2: And they got Marcelonis's son on that team. 678 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 4: He's dominant, really goodsAs Yeah, Goose, this is really good. 679 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: They got a veteran big and Mitchell Sachson. You know, 680 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 4: I think again, to me, there'll be some surprises. I 681 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 4: think to get to like the Sweet sixteen, there'll be 682 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 4: some upsets. But I think this year I just don't 683 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 4: see a lot of like party crashers, like like FAU 684 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 4: was a few years ago. 685 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 3: To the Final four, I'd be surprised if that's the case. 686 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: A year plugged in on the coaching stuff, is Hubert 687 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: gave Davis getting run? And if so, who's replacing him? 688 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll get one more year. 689 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 4: You know, he just brought in Jim Tanner, the former 690 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 4: NBA agents Is General manager, Buzz Peterson will come back 691 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 4: in a role. 692 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 3: They'll they'll they'll change out their staff. They'll have staff changes. 693 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 4: That'll be basically what the ad Bubba Cunningham will say 694 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 4: to Hubert, a, you know you want to stick around 695 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: for another year, You've got to make some changes here. 696 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: You know. 697 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 4: The crazy part is, think about this, as of seven 698 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 4: days ago, in three of the four years Hubert Davis 699 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 4: has been the head coach, and I'm not counting March. 700 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: I think it was March first, the first year he 701 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 4: beat coach k Remember they were on the bubble, and 702 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 4: then they beat coach k On coach Coach k Knight 703 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: his final and that's when they went on that crazy 704 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 4: run to the title game. Right, but they're on the 705 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 4: bubble right before that. Then year two they don't, they 706 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 4: don't make the tournament. Year three, last year they're really good. 707 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 4: They win the league and they finished, they go to 708 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen, and a year four again they're back 709 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 4: in the bubble. 710 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 3: So three of the four years entering March first, they're 711 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 3: on the bubble. That is not good enough at North Carolina. 712 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 4: He'll get one more year and if he obviously, if 713 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 4: he doesn't get to the tournament. 714 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 2: Next year, is there an NC state out there we 715 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 2: need to be on the lookout for. 716 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 4: There's never gonna be another NC stage, never gonna be 717 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 4: another NC state. That's the craziest part of what happened. 718 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 4: It came out of absolutely well, I don't want to 719 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 4: say that because years ago, if you remember, if you 720 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 4: remember this one SEC tournament in Atlanta at the Georgia 721 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 4: Dome years ago, there was a tornado that hit and 722 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 4: they had to move it to Georgia Tech, and it 723 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 4: was only it was actually really cool in a way, 724 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 4: not cool about the tornado, but only friends, family and 725 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 4: some media were allowed in to watch that thing and 726 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 4: Georgia Dennis Felton was a head coach back then. He 727 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 4: was going to be fired and they went on this run. 728 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 4: They won five games in four days. They played two 729 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 4: games in a day to win the SEC tournament and 730 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 4: save his job, so crazier things have happened, but you 731 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 4: can't even predict anything like what happened. 732 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 3: With NC State. 733 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll close out by Villanova. 734 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 3: Could Villanova? 735 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 4: Villanova has the talent Jason They've got, they got maybe 736 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 4: one of the top ten players in the country and 737 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 4: Eric Dixon. We just don't trust right now Villanova as 738 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 4: a whole. 739 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we know the alsome, tried and true things. 740 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 2: In March. You need great guard play. Are you buying 741 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 2: Perkins and Brickus and Poplar? 742 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 3: Yeah? 743 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 4: Poplars he was good for real for stretch there. But no, 744 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 4: I don't think there's any consistency to that Villanova team 745 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 4: that they can run off you know, uh, you know, 746 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 4: three or four games in conference play. 747 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough to make one of those deep runs 748 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 2: like out of nowhere. Like Kansas State had the little 749 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 2: guard who was amazing. I can't eve I'm facing his name. 750 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: He lit up the garden and he was amazing. Yeah, yeah, 751 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 2: I know, he and like, you just need like one 752 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: of those kind of performances to carry you. 753 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 3: But Kemba, look at Kemba, Kemba Walker, here you go. 754 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 4: When he carried him not only the NCAA title, but 755 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 4: the Big East title. I mean that was eleven straight wins, 756 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 4: riding you know, Kemba Walker's back. 757 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: It was crazy. 758 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 2: So the last question is this finally the year for 759 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 2: Kelvin Sampson. They got close a few years ago. They've 760 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 2: been upset in each of the last two years. I 761 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: think in the sweet sixteen, although there was an injury 762 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: last year against Duke. I remember that because I had Houston, 763 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 2: I like Crier. I liked his team. Do they have 764 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: enough shooting Jeff outside of Crier? 765 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 4: It's funny their percentages say they do. They just don't 766 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 4: take a lot of threes. But Criers have a lead 767 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 4: three point shooter. And the big difference is the kid 768 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 4: Milos Uzan has been terrific. 769 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 3: He transferred in this year. 770 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 4: When I saw him in November, he was not good 771 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 4: and Kelvin said, He's like, we are not a good team. 772 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,280 Speaker 4: And they've been awesome since, I mean dominating the Big Twelve. 773 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 4: Think about that, like they've got one loss in the 774 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 4: Big twelve. 775 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,720 Speaker 3: Where Kansas is basically you know right, you know, they're 776 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 3: ten and eight, They're two games over five hundred. It's 777 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 3: amazing what Kelvin's been able to do. I just I'm 778 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 3: with you. 779 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 4: I don't know if they have enough offensive pop to 780 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 4: win the whole thing. But again, I think, you know, 781 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 4: I don't think there's as big of a gap between 782 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 4: Auburn and Duke and the rest of the country as 783 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 4: people were saying there was up until you know, obviously 784 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 4: Auburn loses one game and everybody's like, oh. 785 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 3: They're not that good, right, They're not that good. They're 786 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: not that good. They've like beating everybody this year. 787 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 4: The only loss they really had before that, you know, 788 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 4: at Duke, you know, which is no shame in that one. 789 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: And obviously Florida and Auburn it looks like they've played 790 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 2: maybe the toughest schedule in the country according to that rating, 791 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 2: and Duke is not top fifty. 792 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 3: Nope. 793 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: Interesting all right, Jeff Goodman Field of sixty eight, congrats, man, 794 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 2: you're your own boss.

I know him. 807 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 2: I was trying to get him on the pod. But 808 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 2: Doug Gottlieb obviously coaching now doing a radio show.

He got that job late. 828 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 3: I've never had that last job filled. 829 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I've never had a situation like this. He 830 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,280 Speaker 4: got the job, and I'm not kidding. Twenty five coaches 831 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 4: write it within the first twenty four hours called me 832 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 4: for his number because they all wanted to play it. 833 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 3: They all wanted to play it. Yeah, oh yeah, everybody 834 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 3: wanted to play it. Well, they knew, they knew. Number one, 835 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 3: he got the job late. There's nothing left in the portal. 836 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 3: Number two. 837 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 4: He's going to try to balance coaching and a full 838 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 4: time you know, radio job, which. 839 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 3: You would know better than most on that one. 840 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 4: Like, I get it, and I actually think the hardest 841 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 4: part of doing it is you're not able to watch enough. 842 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 4: Like you're gonna take away from both jobs, because yeah, 843 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 4: you're gonna take away a little bit from you. But 844 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 4: you know, he said in his story, in a story 845 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 4: that was done recently in CBS, you know, he's divorced. 846 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 4: His two girls are older, they're in college. He's got 847 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,760 Speaker 4: one son who's probably about thirteen or so. But again, 848 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 4: Doug Man, if there's anybody that can juggle a million things. 849 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 3: I've seen it firsthand. It's Doug Gottlieb. 850 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, No, he's got an uphill climb, for sure. 851 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 2: It's funny you talk about the juggling. So, you know, 852 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 2: I coached my kids in sports, and maybe like six 853 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 2: months ago, local high school reached out to me and 854 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 2: was like, hey, we might have a job, a coaching job, 855 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 2: if you're interested. And I'm like, listen, this is not 856 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 2: varsity obviously, but I was like, my kids don't even 857 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: go to high school. That would be too weird. But 858 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 2: I do love hoops and I do coach my kids 859 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 2: and we you know, I have good players and we 860 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 2: win a lot. But like, I can't imagine going through 861 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: what he's going through. 862 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 3: Jeff. 863 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you know what it's like starting your own business, 864 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: and that's just starting a basketball team. You've got this 865 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 2: huge audience and you get in your ass kicked and 866 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 2: then Lebron's taking shots Adam Schefter's you know, like. 867 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 3: Chefter was wrong. 868 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 2: Some of that was brought on, he brought on. 869 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 4: She was wrong, Like Doug was right on that one. 870 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 4: Like Sacramento State is not going to five hundred million 871 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 4: whatever it was Yeah, was it like five hundred or 872 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 4: fifty million dollars? Fifty million dollars in nil? Come on, Like, 873 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 4: what if. 874 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 2: He brought you on as an advisor, would your number 875 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 2: one thing say, say off social media, delete it from 876 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 2: her phone? Focused on basketball? 877 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 3: No, I would just make him send me his his tweets. 878 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 2: Before before anything goes out. 879 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 3: Correct. And I'm not great either, I've gotten better. 880 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 4: Here here's the key for me, Jason. I don't go 881 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 4: back at people very often anymore. 882 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: You used to, Yeah, I remember, Oh, I used to 883 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 2: kill people. 884 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 3: Kill people. 885 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 4: The difference is and you'll find this out. So my 886 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,839 Speaker 4: daughter covers women's college basketball full time now. So she's 887 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 4: on Twitter, and she's a junior at Indiana, but she 888 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 4: full time. She's got a full time job. In addition, 889 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 4: she's on Twitter. So it forces me to be better 890 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 4: because she gets a lot of the crap. They'll DM her, 891 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 4: they'll do out you know, like it just I gotta 892 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 4: be careful. I gotta be careful because I don't want 893 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 4: her to see the dumb stuff I do. 894 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 2: Also, that's a good point. You know. My kid came 895 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: to me and it was like Dad, Well, one of 896 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: my buddies came up and was like, why is your 897 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 2: dad beefing with Kevin Durant And I was like, they 898 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 2: were like, yeah, it's on YouTube and I was like, 899 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 2: oh jeez. So and again my kid just doesn't impact 900 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 2: my kids. They find it funny. But you're right, as 901 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,479 Speaker 2: someone who's like trying to be an actual journalist, that 902 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 2: that could be tough, almost an impediment. 903 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 3: It's hard enough for a twenty twenty one year old, 904 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 3: you know girl. 905 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 4: To do this, get in this, you know, like, this 906 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 4: is not you better be thick skinned better. 907 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 2: If you told your kid to come into journalism. 908 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 4: No, I didn't tell her. I told her not to. Yeah, 909 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 4: that's oh, not to, but you didn't listen to me. 910 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 2: I don't even want my kids taking any like journalism class, 911 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 2: like stay away from this field. 912 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 4: Well it's just it's gone in a bad direction. And 913 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 4: the one thing I've done with Tali and my daughter 914 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 4: is teach her. Try to teacher the right way to 915 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 4: do it right, like the way that we the way 916 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 4: that I learned to do it right. 917 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,479 Speaker 3: Two sources, and make sure that there are no rules. 918 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 4: Now you know, anybody it's any accountability, there's no accountability none. 919 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 3: That's the problem. It's for me. It's like you can't 920 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 3: be wrong. You can't. Now again, I'll give my opinion. 921 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 3: You know that. 922 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 4: I've always given my opinion and been unafraid of that. 923 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 4: But it's always an opinion based on generally based on information, 924 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 4: and yeah, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. 925 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 2: This is Jeff Goodman Field of sixty eight. Enjoy the tournament, 926 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 2: Buddy good, catch it 927 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 3: Up always Man
