30
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: But I have a quick question.

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: Are you going to be using your retirement check money

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 2: that you're about to get to pay for your dinner

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: because you're finna get paid? Apparently apparently that's what they say.

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: That's what they say.

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't even know where to begin. I know

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cry. And this ain't even about the retirement

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: check that we're getting, but girl, just the CBA itself.

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: I I don't.

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I have all kinds of emotions,

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: like I'm ecstatic for the current players.

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: I'm even more.

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: Excited for the future because you know, my hopes are

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: that this is just a start and for the future

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: players it's gonna be even better than this. And you know,

45
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: and then I'm I'm really happy for the past.

46
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: And that's not just about you know.

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: The the retirement checks that they're gonna be giving us,

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: but you know, like.

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: We worked our asses off for this moment.

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's so nice to finally or to be

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: able to say finally, like the work we put in,

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: but the work these current players are putting in, it's

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: finally they're finally being paid off.

54
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: I can't even begin to tell you. I don't know.

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: It's like a full circle.

56
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: Moment for me, you know what I mean when I

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: think about the beginning and where we started and where

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: where we are right now looking at this new CBA,

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: and you know, te the thought, the thought that some

60
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: of these players will, because of the CBA, will be

61
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: first generation millionaires in their family. Like when you start

62
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: thinking about changing lives and generational wealth. This is what

63
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: it looks like, right, being able to be in a

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: position where you can set yourself up for success and

65
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: leave something for your family and your children.

66
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: That that's what this is all about. To me, that's

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: what people for.

68
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: But now when I get the check, don't know what

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: that's don't happen, girl, You're stupid, girl, It's here, stupid.

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: You know.

71
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Here's the thing with that.

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Let me just say very grateful, right, and very appreciative

73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: that the current players wanted to be able to say

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: thank you to former players. And you know, depending on

75
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: the years of service that you put in will determine

76
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: whether you're getting thirty fifty or one hundred. And I

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: think I speak for all of us when I say

78
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: thank you, and we're very grateful. But you know, te

79
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: I remember having a conversation with Nekka probably about a

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: year or so ago, and some of the other current

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: players Alicia Clark, and having a conversation with them about,

82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, when time comes for you guys to negotiate

83
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: a new CBA, I hope that you think about the

84
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: former players. And it wasn't even about here, we're going

85
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: to give you a lot of money, but it was

86
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: more so of you know, we don't have a pension,

87
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: we don't have health insurance. That was a conversation that

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the former players have had and to

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, have.

90
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: That conversation with some of the current.

91
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Players and say, you know, someday all of you guys

92
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: will be in this position where you're retired and a

93
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: pension is important, you know, healthcare is important. And the

94
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: fact that you know, whether they tried that or not,

95
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I still want to say thank

96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: you for thinking about us. And you know, a one

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: time payment will can can change a lot of people's

98
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: lives right now.

99
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, one, Like, you know, I commended Alicia Clark who

100
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: made a comment recently about why it was so important

101
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: to just pay homage to those who came before her,

102
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: and I truly appreciate just the thoughtfulness that went into

103
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: the CBA altogether. And that was why these women were

104
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: so hell bent on standing their ground, because they knew

105
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: that what they were asking for was legitimate and that

106
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: it was a lot of thought and care put into it.

107
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, listen, we're most likely going to

108
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: see our first w n B a millionaire. My money's

109
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: on Asia Wilson being that person to sign. You know,

110
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: Mark Davis is Mark Davis has been waiting to push

111
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: that transfer button for two years already, he.

112
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: Was, He's just been waiting. He'd been waiting on the league.

113
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: Wilson probably already getting paid one.

114
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Start because you know, you know, how to league be

115
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: coming for the aces they do, they do, they do.

116
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: Let's let's take that back. But I'm kidding, y'all.

117
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: Look, it's joking, jokes, but no, I just think that

118
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: it's it's incredible. Some of the other provisions are you know,

119
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: a codified league wide charter travels, So now these women

120
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: get to travel the way that they should have.

121
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 4: Been in hand standard for team.

122
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: Facilities, which I absolutely love because these women deserve to

123
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: be playing in facilities and be playing in places that

124
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: have proper treatment and training access, Expanded team staffing requirements

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: which includes access to additional physicians, trainer, strength and conditioning coaches,

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: basically things that will help them be the best player

127
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: that they can be. Right, Yeah, we know about the

128
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: salary cap, but there is a salary cap exception for

129
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: injured player and pregnant players.

130
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: And so they've added to developmental spots on a roster.

131
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: So now every team has to carry twelve players, and

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: I think that should have been important too, as it

133
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: should have been, And I definitely think this opens the

134
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: door for in six or seven years to have the

135
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: discussion about roster expansion because I know we'd be sick

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: of looking at these incredible young women go in that

137
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: draft and then by the time they out of training

138
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: camp there's no spots.

139
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

140
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: So the other thing addition to all those things that

141
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know, it's not just about the money. Yeah,

142
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it, but it's so much

143
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: deeper than that, and so much more than that. You

144
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: mentioned the extra roster spots. I mean, we saw this

145
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: past season just several teams, but Indiana alone.

146
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: You know, I.

147
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Can't even I can't even remember how many players Indiana

148
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: went through throughout the season due to injury. So this

149
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: addition of two developmental players per team, I think is

150
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: going to make a really big difference in just how

151
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: teams are able to put their roster together, but also

152
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: how it will allow them to compete. And one of

153
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: the other things, Tea and I know there's so many

154
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: things in here. One of the other things that I

155
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: really liked was the pregnancy and childbirth salary cap exception.

156
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: And also I cannot begin to tell.

157
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: You the stress that a woman already is dealing with

158
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: when she finds out she's pregnant. You know, your your

159
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: body's about to change, your life is about to change.

160
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,119
Speaker 3: Or everything.

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: The last thing you need to be worried about is

162
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: am I going to stay on this team or am

163
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: I going to get traded? Right? And so I love

164
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: that teams must obtain player consent before trading a pregnant player.

165
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: That to me.

166
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: Is really really big time because you know, and I know,

167
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: we think about the whole Deerica Handy Aces situation. You know,

168
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: I think about Skyler digging Smith. You know, Skyler didn't

169
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: even say anything about her being pregnant.

170
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: For a while because she was worried about what was

171
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: going to happen.

172
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, I couldn't imagine if when the league started,

173
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: when I found out I was pregnant, and you know,

174
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine the comments coming to me saying, well,

175
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: show you're pregnant, so we're trading.

176
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 3: I don't.

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would have done in that moment, right,

178
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: So I think it's I think putting that in the

179
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: new CBA is very important for these young women, and

180
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: for that.

181
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: I one hundred percent agree.

182
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: You know it, for a while has kind of felt

183
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: like choosing to want to be a mom or choosing

184
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: the family plan has.

185
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: Been like a punishment.

186
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: Like that's honestly like how it has kind of felt,

187
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: because if you did make that decision, then you want

188
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: to be a mom, you want to start a family

189
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: or whatever.

190
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: Having to choose between playing.

191
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: The game I love or working the job that I

192
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: work versus being a mom, Like we have to deal

193
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: with that on the outside right, and so it just

194
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: didn't feel like the WNBA was a place where we

195
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: talk about the encouraging and upliftment of women in every

196
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: other sector, but the one sector that really defines, you know,

197
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: the the just the phenomenalness of a woman and being

198
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: able to give birth and choose to be a mom

199
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: if she so chooses, even if she didn't give birth,

200
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: but is choosing to be a mom, like you're gonna

201
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: trade me or kick me off the team or like

202
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: that makes absolutely no sense.

203
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: So I do. I do also love and adore that part.

204
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: And just the last couple of things that have been

205
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: added before we move on, it's just you know, first

206
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: class travel, significant increases in four A one K, so

207
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: you talk about retirement, they are contributing to the four

208
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: A one K account. They have enhanced life insurance benefits,

209
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: mental health coverage which is important, family planning benefits which

210
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: again now instead of making you feel like you're being

211
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: punished for family planning, there are benefits available for players

212
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: in their spouses.

213
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: And then this I thought was very.

214
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: Interesting, Substantial increases in bonus compensation for all league and

215
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: posts in a war starting next year in twenty twenty

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: seven bonuses will increase. And so the reason why I

217
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: find this to be incredibly important is because this means

218
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: that I got to look at my fellow media members

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: and tell them stop playing with these votes.

220
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: Stop playing with these.

221
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Votes, because now there is financial compensation on the line

222
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: with these players when they receive awards, and some of

223
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: the rationale that people give for voting for some of

224
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: these awards don't make no damn sense. Your philosophy is

225
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: your philosophy. Do what it is that you do. I three,

226
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: and I'm just asking you to understand the ramifications now

227
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: that come along with your vote that maybe you didn't

228
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: think about before, or maybe you didn't have to think

229
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: about before.

230
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: So be smart.

231
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: And I mean it's not to offend anyone, but just

232
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: be smart because I can't help but think about the

233
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: person that gave age your fourth place vote two years ago.

234
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: One hundred percent, and you know, because like this is

235
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: their livelihood, You know what I mean?

236
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean?

237
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: And if if you know for a fact that Asia Wilson,

238
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: because whoever did it knows there was no way in

239
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: hell Asia Wilson deserved a fourth place vote, but you

240
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: voting her fourth place could have been looking at the

241
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: bonuses now could make a difference in her getting a

242
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: bonus or not getting a bonus real, But I want

243
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: to because I want to point this out, and I

244
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if I realize this. T So, in

245
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: this new CBA, right WNBA Finals, MVP was only getting

246
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars and so in this new CBA it'll

247
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: be thirty thousand dollars.

248
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: And this is crazy to me.

249
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Listen, Basically, this is okay, there's two or we'll read

250
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: and then we can move on. All Star Game MVP

251
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: was five thousand, one hundred and fifty dollars that now

252
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: will be twenty thousand dollars. An All Star Game participant

253
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: two thousand, five hundred and seventy five dollars.

254
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: Will now be fifteen k I don't even know if

255
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: I realized how low these bonuses were. Oh, because it.

256
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Was sit in your mind, it doesn't and I promise

257
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: this will be the last one. But so do you

258
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: know do you know what the All Defensive second team

259
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: player got in bonuses?

260
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: I'm a guessing say fifteen hundred dollars.

261
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: So if this is correct, so it says up from

262
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: zero islands.

263
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: To seven thousand. First team.

264
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm breaking my promise. I just think this is so important.

265
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: All defensive first team was getting fifteen hundred. Now they

266
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: will be getting fifteen k.

267
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

268
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: I did not know that All defense second team did

269
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: not get a bonus.

270
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: I didn't either.

271
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: That's why they was pissed off when people keep putting

272
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: them most second team.

273
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: Like you know, like tush Claw. I don't know how

274
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: many times Tash was like on second and she was like,

275
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: y'all know, I deserve to be on first.

276
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that, yes, you do deserve

277
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: to be on first, but you also missing out on

278
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: your coin.

279
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: You missing out on your coin.

280
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, y'all gotta take these y'all gotta take these awards serious.

281
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: Seriously because it's it's but.

282
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Anyway, it is a transformation on CBA.

283
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: That is what it has been called.

284
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: And honestly, from the turn sheets and the information that

285
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: we've been giving details on it certainly is a transformational CBA.

286
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: And so we look forward to just being able to

287
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: have a season this year. There was a lot of

288
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: conversation on whether or not a season was going to happen.

289
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: So there is going to be a season and we're

290
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: excited about it. Plus, it's a lot about to be

291
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: going down in April. So don't y'all be wondering what

292
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm doing and what's going on, because I'm finna be

293
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm fin to be busy between these two expansion drafts,

294
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: the collegiate drafts, the free agency. Y'all leave me to

295
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: hell alone, because I'm about to be busy. Okay, a

296
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: little bit, a little bit, a little bit litten, just

297
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: a little bit. So wow, I got free time. I

298
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: might as well take my free time to kick you

299
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: on this nca tournament because it's been very very very

300
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: very good, very very good. And so we're gonna take

301
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: today to kind of break it down because the round

302
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: of thirty two has happened, and there has been some surprises,

303
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: maybe some not so much surprises. There has been some

304
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: very close matchups, there have been some blowouts.

305
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: There have been some really bad blowouts.

306
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: But in either case, let's go ahead and take it

307
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: to the next level and break down the NCAA tournament

308
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: so far. So coming up this week, we got some

309
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 2: really heavy hitters, but then.

310
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: We also well, first let me just back up and say.

311
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: Cheryl, what have you enjoyed most over just the first

312
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: weekend of college basketball, around the sixty four, around the

313
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: thirty two.

314
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: I have enjoyed Camara Johnson, m H from Virginia.

315
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I have really enjoyed watching Virginia be that Cinderella. I

316
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: feel like we finally have a Cinderella story on the

317
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: women's side because we're always getting them on the men's side.

318
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: And I love watching Virginia play. They play hard, they compete,

319
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: they play to the end. And Camara Johnson, if you

320
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: don't know her name, google it because since has been

321
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: ball lint, I love watching her play.

322
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: I love that. Okay, that's a very good That's a

323
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: very good one. I enjoyed. I enjoyed a lot, So

324
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: I'm trying to break it down to just one thing because.

325
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: I enjoy it. You only get one because I only

326
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: gave you one.

327
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 2: Oh that's why I'm like, I only got one. I

328
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: will say it has been a lot of good stuff,

329
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: though it really has. Because I want to talk, I'm

330
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: gonna pick. I'm gonna pick this one. But there's been

331
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: a lot. But I enjoy Hannah Hidalgo. Okay, I don't

332
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: know that's a good one too.

333
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: Hannah is.

334
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: Hannah is one of the one of them people where

335
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: it's like, all you gotta do is give her one

336
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: ball two inches of space, and it's a wreck.

337
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 4: That's all she needs is two inches of space. And

338
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: then the next thing you know, she's she's driving downhill

339
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: on you.

340
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: She can pull up and shoot on you. Her defensive

341
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: prowess is crazy. And then she starts to control the

342
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 2: and she tries to control the tempo. And once Hannah

343
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: can control the tempo of the game, it's pretty much

344
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: a rat for you. And she also has that dog

345
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: mentality where she does not want to be defeated because

346
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: they didn't start the best against Ohio State, but in

347
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter, they just never let they just never

348
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: at Ohio State get comfortable.

349
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 4: They just never let them settle in and she took over.

350
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: And I love it.

351
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: And I love it because there was so much conversation

352
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: around what this team would or could be without Olivia

353
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Miles this year true, and I think they did a

354
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: really good job of getting to the sweet sixteen despite

355
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: the odds being against them. So that's going to be

356
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: one of the things. But I loved a lot over

357
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: this week. I enjoyed a lot over the weekend.

358
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: Well, I know I mean, we could absolutely sit here

359
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: and have this whole segment be about what we enjoyed.

360
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: But you know, I love I love everything about March Madness.

361
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: It takes me back to my playing days back in college.

362
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Like March madness is just that experience that if you

363
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: don't actually experience it, you can talk about it, but

364
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: it ain't the same. And so for me, when you

365
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: say you had a lot of things you enjoyed, that's

366
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: what March is. Like, March is about moments, right, And

367
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned Hannah Hidalgo against Ohio State. Like some players

368
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: are built for March, Hannah Hidalgo's built for March. So

369
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: she is having her moment. And that's why I picked

370
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: Kamara Johnson.

371
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 3: Because I mean a tenC.

372
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: And they just advanced to the Sweet sixteen and I

373
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: don't think anybody probably had them on their everybody's brackets

374
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: probably busted by now. But you know, Kamara Johnson is

375
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: having her March Madness moment. Yeah, the whole squad is,

376
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: but she is the leader of that squad and I

377
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: have thoroughly enjoyed watching them.

378
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: Play, absolutely, And you know what's funny about that too,

379
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: is that, first of all, I love that because that

380
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: is perfectly put that March is about moments, and it

381
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: really is. But this is also the time of year

382
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: when people increase their draft stock. Not saying that anybody's

383
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: leaving like they're freshman sophomores that are doing your thing,

384
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: but like this is the time where you get put

385
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: on notice for real, like you put the world on

386
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: notice of who you are. And this increases your draft stock,

387
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: it increases potential or not for transfer portal for nil

388
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: deals like playing your best basketball in March can really

389
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: come with some increased notoriety and financial opportunities. So it

390
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: makes tons of sense that these players are gonna want

391
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: to show out right now because there are.

392
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: A lot on those shop, there are a lot on

393
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: the line.

394
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: So with that being said, I want to start with

395
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: the University of Connecticut.

396
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: You want to start with him, Okay, I'm gonna start.

397
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with them so I can get them

398
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: off the way, because when you drop sixty on a

399
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: team before the half and they got fifteen, like often,

400
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard my girl Felicia La

401
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: get jack.

402
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: And Felicia'll get Jacks who Syracuse? Yeah, she.

403
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: After the lost during the press conference, she was not

404
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: happy about the fact that the Orange have had to

405
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: play Yukon for several years in the tournament, in the

406
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 2: same bracket, in the same region, and she's even had

407
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: to deal with playing Yukon when she was coaching in Buffalo, right,

408
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: And so she had some very strong words about what

409
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 2: that meant.

410
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 4: And so let's let's take a quick listen to what

411
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: she had to say.

412
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 5: For us to do what we've done, to continuously have

413
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 5: to come to Yukon and every single school that I

414
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 5: go to from Buffalo to it's unfair to the young people.

415
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 4: Now, Cheryl, I have never been a coach. You've been

416
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 4: a coach. I've never been a coach.

417
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: So I don't know about how I would feel after

418
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: getting my ass smacked ninety eight to forty five. But

419
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't know if my next move

420
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: would have been to sit in a press conference and

421
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: complain about my seating. Like I'm all about sticking up

422
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: for your players, and I do think that Syracuse is

423
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: a better team than they displayed in that matchup against Yukon,

424
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: But I just don't know if if as a player,

425
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: I feel good about my coach saying I think that

426
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: we would have a better shot of moving on.

427
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: If we didn't have to face this team every year.

428
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: Like, so basically, what you're saying is we we're good,

429
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 2: but we just ain't never gonna be good enough to

430
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 2: beat them.

431
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: So like while we're doing.

432
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: This, like I see and that I heard as a

433
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: as a player, that's what I'm hearing. Like, coach, you

434
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: don't think we were good enough? Now are we gonna

435
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: ever be good enough?

436
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: Here's my thing. I'm there with you. I'm so there

437
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: with you on all of it.

438
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: Do you know how many people are always coming for

439
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: NC Double A?

440
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: Right?

441
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: They don't like that, they don't like their seed. They

442
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: should be a one seed, not a two seed.

443
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: We didn't get in.

444
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: We should have gotten in, Like this year Texas A

445
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: and m Jonny Taylor felt like they should have gotten

446
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: in a tournament. But the NC Double A is going

447
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: to do what they do every year every year. I

448
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: don't know the method behind the madness why some teams

449
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: get sento this region that I don't know.

450
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: I don't know none of that. But what I do

451
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: know is you.

452
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about her in particular, I'm just saying

453
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: you in general, cannot control.

454
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: What the NC Double A is gonna do. What I

455
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: would do is use that as motivation.

456
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Go get you some dogs, Go get you some better players,

457
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: Go get you some better talent. With the thought of

458
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: and you said it, every year you make the tournament,

459
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: you gotta go through Yukon. Yeah, because here's the thing,

460
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: here's the thing, t okay, Let's just say you're not

461
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: in Yukon's region. Nine times out of ten, you're probably

462
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna end up being in South Carolina's region.

463
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: Who is just like a Yukon maybe Lsu. I'm gonna

464
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: throw ula cla is that right now? Right Like?

465
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: You're going to have to play talent. So let's just

466
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: say you're in somebody.

467
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 3: Else's region and you make it all the way to.

468
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: The final four, nine times out of ten, Yukon is

469
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna be there somewhere along the road.

470
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to match up with them anyway,

471
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: sooner or later.

472
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: So to me, instead of going to the press conference

473
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: like I get it, I'm what you guess. I'm always

474
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: take it from my players, always had my players back.

475
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't ever want to

476
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: make my players feel like I don't believe they're not

477
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: good enough to beat the Yukons. The South Carolina's all

478
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm never gonna say that. What I'm

479
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: gonna say is, Okay, thank you, Geno.

480
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: I got to be better. My staff got to be better.

481
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: I got to go get me the type of talent

482
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: that can compete with a Yukon and maybe someday actually

483
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: beat Yukon and on their home court.

484
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: Yup, yup.

485
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly what see we hear because that's exactly what

486
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: I'm getting at.

487
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I see.

488
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 2: Like yourself, recruitment gotta be a little different, if you know,

489
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: did you even because at the end of the day,

490
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: what am I doing? Am I getting to the Sweet

491
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: sixteen or the Elite eight just to say I got

492
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: to the elite age and I get to Yukon and

493
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: I get to say, trop we'll do that around you

494
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: feel what I'm saying, like, we don't, we don't, we don't.

495
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: So I was an interesting comment that I really wish

496
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: would have went a little differently me too.

497
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: And then for her to also, you know say, as

498
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: you heard that, people have asked me, do they have

499
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: something against you? Or she's you know, She's like, I

500
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, so I just I wish

501
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: she would have handled that differently.

502
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: And I get it.

503
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: You just got smacked. It's immediately after the game.

504
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: Your season's over, so you got all kinds of emotions

505
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: going through your head right now. But just like we

506
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: teach our young kids and our players, like don't don't.

507
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: Speak out of emotion, like gather yourself, gather your thoughts before.

508
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: You, you know, open your mouth to the media. Because

509
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: even though I'm sure she didn't mean anything bad by that,

510
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: but it's so easy to take what she said and

511
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: be like, damn, she don't even believe in her own team.

512
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you don't even believe any your staff,

513
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

514
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: That's how we came out. That's how it came across

515
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: to me. That's really how it came across to me,

516
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: which is completely separate of the coach and the coach's

517
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: interaction that we saw and who Yukon's opponent is going

518
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: to be, and that's un C and the UNC Maryland matchup.

519
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 4: We saw a moment that has gone viral.

520
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: Where coach Brenda Freese and her player have had an

521
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: interaction where right before. She was missing defensive assignments, she

522
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: was missing free throw she was missing easy bunnies. It's

523
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: like she was all over the place. And so coach

524
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: Freese called a time out so her to come to

525
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: the side of the bench and was like, listen, I

526
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: mean the way she's that it was very aggressive, but

527
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 2: we got some master lip readers out here, and when

528
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 2: you break down what she said, she basically said, hey, listen, like,

529
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: you got to stop being distracted out there. I believe

530
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: in you, but you gotta want this the most, Like

531
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: you've got to want this more. This is your story,

532
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: not mine, So get out there and act like you

533
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: know who you are.

534
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 4: And what happened. She got out there on the court,

535
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: had a show. Damn yes she did.

536
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: Now, unfortunately Maryland did not get the win, but it

537
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: was the mirror motivation that she received.

538
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: But I think that that, to.

539
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: Me, demonstrated that you got to know your personnel. She

540
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 2: knows that this is a player who loves to be

541
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: coach Tard is a player who needs that type of motivation.

542
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 2: And it is unfortunate that they didn't win against UNC,

543
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: But now you and c is going to be moving

544
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: forward to face Yukon in the Sweet sixteen. And as

545
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: much as I would like to think that Yukon is

546
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: up for the challenge, I mean that you and c

547
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: excuse me, is up for the challenge. I just think

548
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: that this Yukon team is so incredibly dangerous that it ain't.

549
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: Nothing you and see gonna be able to do.

550
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: Girl, listen, Okay, so don't.

551
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I don't sit and

552
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: watch blowout. It's really hard for me to just stay there,

553
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I'll start just to

554
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: be like, all right, let's see because on any given night,

555
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, stranger things have happened. But when when at

556
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: halftime it's like eighty to twenty, I'm not saying that

557
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: was a score, but you know what I mean, I'm like, okay,

558
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: I gotta go watch something different. And you can to

559
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: me right now, they just looked unbeatable. They're so good.

560
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: They're so good.

561
00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: It feels like walking into a giant's den with it's nothing.

562
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: It just feels like there's there is a lot going

563
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: on here. And in Kudosa Gino, he continues to find

564
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: the talent. He continues to make these players you know

565
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: who they are. He just runs a fantastic program. And

566
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: if it's just it's it just is who they are

567
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: as fund just you know, Sarah Strong is the best

568
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: one of the best players in the country, if not

569
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: the best player in the country.

570
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 4: Just what can you do?

571
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: What can you do?

572
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: And also like like kudos to the players because there's

573
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: a like there's a precedent that's set at Yukon, and

574
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: there's a standard that's set at Yukon. There's a tradition

575
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: that Yukon has and these players understand that.

576
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: And not that they need.

577
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Any motivation, but they don't want to be the group

578
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: or the team that doesn't make it right or the

579
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: team that doesn't win at all. Because when you have

580
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: players like a Diana Tarassi, a super Bird, a swing

581
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: in cash, uh, Brianna Stewart, all those players, Yeah, you

582
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be that one player that when you

583
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: go back for reunions or you go back for big

584
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: games or whatever, you have all of them in the

585
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: gym or whatever and they're looking at you say, yeah,

586
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: but you you did win. You know what I mean,

587
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: y'all didn't get the job done. Y'all let us down.

588
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: So they're like I'm not gonna be that group. There

589
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: is this this intimidation factor when you go play Yukon

590
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: because they're Yukon and the I.

591
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: Wasn't this type of player.

592
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: But for a lot of teams, they've already lost the

593
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: game before the game even starts because it's Yukon, and

594
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: in their head, they're like, man, they're so good, there's

595
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: no way we can beat them.

596
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: In their heads.

597
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: So that you're important.

598
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: That's why it's important for a coach not to say

599
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: the things that coach Jack said.

600
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly, because that's exactly what it is. It's

601
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: more mental, it's it's it's mental as it is physical talent,

602
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: and you really have gotten to your player's head mentally

603
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: when you make those kind of comments. At least that's

604
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 2: what I would assume. Hopefully her players look at her

605
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: and know her much differently, But I just wouldn't have

606
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: taken that approach if it had been me. But you

607
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: talk about going into a matchup confidently, and I think

608
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: South Carolina, who was getting ready to play Oklahoma in

609
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: a Sweet sixteen, Wait, I can't Oklahoma about to be

610
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 2: real confident because they're gonna say that we already gave

611
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: you that all one time.

612
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 4: Now you're talking.

613
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: About Sacramento, Lord Jesus and South Carolina saying, no, we got.

614
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: To get our lick back.

615
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 4: We got to get our That's exactly what's going on.

616
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: And you see they was ready to get that link

617
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: back last night playing USC one hundred and one to

618
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: sixty one. And I was making a joke on Twitter

619
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: because they showed Juju Watkins on the sideline and I said,

620
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,479
Speaker 2: I can only imagine what's going through Juju's head right now,

621
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: because I'm sitting on this sideline and I'm thinking of.

622
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: It's one of several things.

623
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: Either A I can't believe we're getting our ass whip

624
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: like this, either B I probably didn't choose the right

625
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: sc or three I can't wait to get my slenders back. Yeah,

626
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 2: I can smack everybody what I feel like. It's one

627
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: of those things.

628
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 4: It's going to be.

629
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: But it could have been all three.

630
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: It could have been because I and it probably was.

631
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, it could have been all three, but probably

632
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: was more of a damn, I know that scoreboard ain't right,

633
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: and then ain't right, and then.

634
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: Damn, what if I would have gone to the other

635
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 3: What if.

636
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: I would have went to this to the other and

637
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: the last was nah, fuck all of that. I'm exactly

638
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: where I supposed to be. And when I laced him

639
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: up next year, very different.

640
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 4: It was a listen November, it was all three.

641
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 2: November fifteenth is already exed circle scribbled on the calendar.

642
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: She like, nah, nah, we got the we can't we

643
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: can't run like this.

644
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

645
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: With with that, South Carolina is gonna be facing up

646
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma, and I think that this is gonna be

647
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: one of the best matchups of the Sweet sixteen. January

648
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: twenty second, Oklahoma gave South Carolina that l and I

649
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: just don't think this is at in ot Yes it was.

650
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 4: It was definitely a thriller for sure.

651
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: Aliyah Chavez, the freshman twenty six points, like she is

652
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: a beast, out showed up. She showed up huge in

653
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 2: the in the biggest way. And so to your point,

654
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: when you talk about playing a team with confidence, it's

655
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: going in mentally thinking, you know what, I'm already I'm

656
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 2: already where I'm supposed to be. I'm already a dog,

657
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm already this person. Oklahoma's gonna feel that because they've

658
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: already done what many others have been unable to accomplish.

659
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: I just don't think this is the same South Carolina

660
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: team from January.

661
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: Defense is death is different. It's different. So it's I don't.

662
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: Expect the same type of I mean, they outrebounded South

663
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: Carolina like they own the boards.

664
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 4: I just don't think that that team is going to show.

665
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: Up after that loss, after the lost of Texas and

666
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: the SEC championship, South Carolina is like, I'm sick of

667
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: it at this point, right, So I think that this

668
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: will be a tight one and I do think South

669
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: Carolina will walk away with the win.

670
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 4: But curious your thoughts on this one.

671
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: Well, tee.

672
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, Don Stately has built something at South Carolina,

673
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: just like we just talked about what Gino has built

674
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: a Yukon and the standards and the tradition and all

675
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: the things that Yukon has so to South Carolina, right,

676
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: And and I know Don Staley as a player and

677
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: as a coach. Don Don will have her team ready,

678
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, right. And when I said, South

679
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: Carolina's like m M, yeah, y'all got us then, But

680
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: we come we come in for that ass and we go,

681
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: we come in to get our licked back.

682
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 3: That's exactly what they're gonna do.

683
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: But to your point, this is not the same South

684
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: Carolina team that played Oklahoma in January. It ain't the

685
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: same team that that that played Texas. In my opinion,

686
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: and I'm there with you, I do think South Carolina

687
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 1: will win this game. I think it's going to be

688
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: a battle, though, and I wanted to be one. Right,

689
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: we're at a point where we every game needs to

690
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: be good.

691
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: But if you listen to Raven Johnson after after.

692
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: Their game the other night, uh when beat oh Usa. Anyway,

693
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: if you listen to Raven Johnson after the SC game,

694
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: and I think they ask her something about what it

695
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: means to her, you know, to advance in Sweet sixteen.

696
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 3: And she said, listen, this isn't just for us. This

697
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: is for those who came before us.

698
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: This is for the Asia Wilsons, the Leah Boston's, the

699
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: Froshings they had.

700
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: She you know, she basically said, we don't want to

701
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: let them down.

702
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: So when I think about this matchup with South Carolina

703
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: and OU, all the players have that mindset and mentality

704
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: of we remember what y'all did to us, but we

705
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: also remember those players who came before us and the

706
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: standard that they set. We have a tradition here too,

707
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: we have expectations here too, and I do think South

708
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: Carolina will live up to those.

709
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: I would agree that it's going to be well. I

710
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a really good game. I

711
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a really good game. And

712
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 2: we kind of talked a little bit about Notre Dame

713
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 2: beating Ohio State earlier Inn and Hidalgo, but now she's

714
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: getting ready to go toe to toe with that girl

715
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: that will shoot the lights out Mickaleb Blake and Vanderbilt

716
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: and Honey, I think this is going to be one

717
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 2: of those matchups where we gonna see which guard can

718
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: do the most, because, like you said, this March is

719
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 2: a month of moments, and I feel like it's gonna

720
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: be one of them situations where who shows up in

721
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: the right moment to make the right play at the

722
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: right time that can decide the winner between these two

723
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: in Notre Dame and Vanderbilt. And selfishly, even though I'm

724
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 2: one of the few people that picked Notre Dame over

725
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: over Ohio State, and I know it's kind of build

726
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: like an upset, but see, I don't look at Notre

727
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 2: Dame as the type of tu n upset.

728
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 4: I didn't think that was an upset, Like Notre Dame

729
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 4: is that good?

730
00:40:58,719 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 3: I just I didn't.

731
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: I did not think, uh, Notre Dame beating Ohio State

732
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: was an upset.

733
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, they're supposed to win.

734
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

735
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think because of the seating right, people

736
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: are like, oh, six seed be to three seed, and.

737
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, to me, when I look at a lot

738
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: of that, I'm like, that's just numbers.

739
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: But that's just numbers.

740
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 5: It.

741
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think it was an upset. I won't.

742
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: I will say this though, that girl michaeleb Blake's is

743
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: her point.

744
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 4: Not a game, period, not a game.

745
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: Not to mention the uh is Galvan the little freshman

746
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: guard they have, Yep, yeah that the one two combo

747
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: is nice tea.

748
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 3: There are four games that.

749
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: I kind of had circle for the Sweet sixteen that

750
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: I think if it doesn't go to overtime, I think

751
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: it's going to go to the wire. The South Carolina

752
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: Ou game. I think Vanderbilt Notre Dame. I think that

753
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: game is gonna go down to the wire. I think

754
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: LSU Duke. Yeah, I think that's gonna go into the wire.

755
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: And I talked about Virginia earlier. I think I know

756
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: Olivia Miles triple double queen and all the things, but

757
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: I think Virginia can take TCU. Oh I do, I

758
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: really do. But those are four games that I'm like,

759
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in front of the TV. Don't call me,

760
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: don't text me, don't walk in front of me, don't

761
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: do nothing.

762
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 3: Because I got to see all of these games.

763
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I definitely see I could see the Virginia TCU argument,

764
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: even though I picked TCU because I just think Olivia

765
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: Miles is like I refuse to be denied.

766
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: But I could see that argument.

767
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: But I also sorry, Olivia Miles has to stay out

768
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: of foul trouble.

769
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: She does have to stay at the foul trouble. That's fact.

770
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: I'm also very interested in the Louisville Michigan game because

771
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 2: I personally took Louisville. But Silaswards is a shooter, Olivia

772
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: Nelson is a baller, and I think that they can

773
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: absolutely like they can absolutely make some noise. So and

774
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: in fact, I have said that in that region with Texas,

775
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: Michigan is their biggest threat I think Michigan is the

776
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 2: biggest threat to Texas in their region.

777
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely well. Texas is really good right now.

778
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 4: Playing really good, playing really good.

779
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: But we're gonna see how Michigan faars against Louisville and

780
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: then I agree with you with Duke and LSU. Now,

781
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: I took Duke, but not because of the reasons I

782
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: took what I took.

783
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: I took Duke because I'm here for chaos. I'm here

784
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 4: for chaos.

785
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 2: I for one, I am a fan of Toby Fournier,

786
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: I really am.

787
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 4: I think she's a rate post player.

788
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 2: I want to see her dunkin transition, and I'm just

789
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep saying it until she actually does it.

790
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: But I also feel like when we talk about teams

791
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: that are different from the beginning of the year till now,

792
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: this Duke team had its ups and downs, and they

793
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: they have found their defensive identity over the last like

794
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 2: two three weeks, and I think that they're rolling and

795
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: I think that that offensive, that defensive identity is going

796
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: to match up there. It's gonna be a true test

797
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 2: when they come up against that LSU team that can

798
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: literally score from anywhere. Because you gotta worry about Flage.

799
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: You gotta worry about Mikayla. You gotta worry about Malaysia

800
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: like you, like you don't even know where that three

801
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: piece combo gonna come from. You just you, you don't

802
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: even know, You really don't.

803
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 4: You ain't even know.

804
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: All you know is is you better have a biscuit

805
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: and some honey, because that three piece combo is yes

806
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: with the I'm telling you so, I do think though,

807
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: that duke may be able to at least sustain I'm

808
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm here for chaos.

809
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 4: Ls. It is. It is what it is, But I'm

810
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: here for the chaos.

811
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 5: I like it.

812
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. All right, y'all, Well

813
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 4: listen when we come back.

814
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: We just got a couple more things to discuss around

815
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 2: the Sweet Sixteen, and you won't want to miss it,

816
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 2: so surett before we get out of here, man, I

817
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 2: just got to ask you a couple of questions. Were

818
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: there any teams that didn't make the Sweet Sixteen that

819
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: you were surprised about that you might have said, dang,

820
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 2: I really thought that they could have their ish together

821
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: and they just didn't get it done.

822
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

823
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: Well, first, before before I say that, I do want

824
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: to say, the one game there were several, but one

825
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: game that I watched and I hated to see somebody

826
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: lose was the old Miss Minnesota game. Oh that was

827
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 1: a good one.

828
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 3: This is just my opinion.

829
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think that last foul on Code McMahon was

830
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: a foul, but me, neither nor there, neither here nor there,

831
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: but any hope thought that game was really good. Since

832
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to to to to not go down this

833
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: road and I want to be I don't know positive, maybe.

834
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: Uh, But to answer your question, what the hell is

835
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: going over.

836
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 4: Tennessee, I'm so sick of Tennessee.

837
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I thought Tennessee should have made it to the

838
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen or maybe nine when I look at how

839
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: their season kind.

840
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 3: Of went so.

841
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 2: First of all, they finished this season on an eight

842
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: game losing street, didn't win a single game in the

843
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 2: month of March, couldn't shoot the ball well, couldn't couldn't

844
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: make anything from the line. Just offense just just didn't

845
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 2: exist at all. And there had been so much conversation

846
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: between the last maybe two or three weeks about why

847
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: this team just continues to look and struggle the way

848
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 2: that they look in their struggle and then you think

849
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 2: about Kim Caldwell and folks are calling for her head

850
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: and how the style of basketball that she likes to

851
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: run just really doesn't fit the personnel that she has.

852
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 4: And I mean, kyp.

853
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: Can't be just for can't be just for for players,

854
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: has to be for coaches too. You got to know

855
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: who you got, right, So there's that.

856
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: And if that's the style, if that's the style you

857
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: want to play and coach, then you got.

858
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: To recruit that those types of players.

859
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: You have to you have to. And I said, honey,

860
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: poor poor Pat Someming. She ain't rolling over her grave.

861
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 2: She done got about that thing. At this point, she

862
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: is just upset because I can't imagine I.

863
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 3: Agree with you, because here's my question. I mean, you

864
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: get rid of what's the name, Kelly, Kelly.

865
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 4: Harper, Yeah, Kelly Harper, Yeah, you.

866
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 3: Get rid of her. And I don't see how this

867
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: is better. I'm just saying.

868
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: I don't know what happens from here.

869
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: I can say that Kim Caldwell's job is in jeopardy,

870
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: so I don't want to go that far. But I

871
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 2: also am like your time is about to be very

872
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: limited and borrowed. If this is the type of performance

873
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: that we're going to see from you, because Tennessee is

874
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: not the program that will accept.

875
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 4: Going on eight game losing streaks.

876
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: That's going to accept being a tense and first of all,

877
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 2: that's going to accept being a tense period. But let

878
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: alone get knocked out in the first round. That's not happening.

879
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 2: So I said coming into this tournament that nobody had

880
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 2: more to prove.

881
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 4: Than Tennessee and they didn't even get up the first run.

882
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: Agree. Agree.

883
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned the eight game losing streak to end the season.

884
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: To me, even before they hit that eight game losing streak,

885
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: it just kind of looked like the players had already quit,

886
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like there are times during

887
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: a season where you know when the players are filling

888
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: you and they ain't gonna run through a wall for you,

889
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: and when the players look at you and they like

890
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: yeah bye, like and I kind of felt that with

891
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: the team like halfway through the season, and I'm like you,

892
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know where the disconnect is because I thought

893
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: when she first got the job and got there, her

894
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: little you know, seven five at a time and just

895
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: let's just jack up threes like those players seemed to

896
00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: really like that.

897
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 3: But players are gonna always like that. Anytime you say

898
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 3: to a player if you.

899
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: Got a wide open shot shooting, even if you're not

900
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: a three point shooter, players are going to always like that.

901
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: But to your point, that ain't working.

902
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 3: That ain't working.

903
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know where the disconnect is.

904
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 3: Is it her staff, is it her? Is it a player?

905
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, but I'm with you. I have

906
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: never seen Tennessee is a historic program. I have never

907
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: seen a Tennessee team look like this team I saw

908
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: this year. And for them not to one to be

909
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: a tenn seed, as you said, but two not to

910
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: advance past the first round, it's a problem.

911
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 3: Like there is a problem there, and I don't know.

912
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.

913
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something that is definitely going to have to

914
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 2: be discussed in the offseason, and I'm interested to see

915
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: where the direction goes, whether that's a recruitment standpoint, whether

916
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 2: that's a change at who's at the helm, or whether

917
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: that's just hey, let's just reset, let's just put this

918
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 2: year behind us and let's just do a complete reset,

919
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 2: because I mean, hey, that could happen as well, right,

920
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 2: So anything can happen. But I was just thoroughly disappointed

921
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: with Tennessee. And again you mentioned both.

922
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 4: Of the ones that I was going to mention it

923
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 4: with ole Miss I.

924
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 3: Was crushed for.

925
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 2: I was crushed for that, Like I really I did

926
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: not think that was a foul. And I don't want

927
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: to be that person the bitch about the rest, because

928
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 2: I bitch about the rest and every game to be honest,

929
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 2: like they always message up. So I was like, you know,

930
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 2: it's just a typical day in women's basketball.

931
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 3: Call though, but it was a tough call.

932
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: All right.

933
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: So before we get out of here, I need to

934
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: know because this weekend Sweet sixteen, Elite eight and then

935
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: who's going to go to the final four? So I

936
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: need to know, Sheryl, who is in your final four.

937
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 4: You ain't got to tell me who your national champion is.

938
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 3: Just Oh, I did a bracket too, I just don't

Speaker 3: know where it is. Yukon. I think I had Yukon

940
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,720

00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm Texas, mm hmmm. Did you have U c

942
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 4: l A l s U Duke?

943
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: I think I had Ula. I think I hate U

944
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: c l A Yeah, yeah, I hate U c l A.

945
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina Yukon, Texas U c l A.

946
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 2: That's yeah, the all chalk. Yeah, I have the same like.

947
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 2: I can't even lie I have the same. Like I

948
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 2: I got four brackets, real talk, four women's you're not

949
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: supposed to have four. I can't help it now. But

950
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: my final four is the same. I think maybe one

951
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: of them. I think one of them. I got Texas

952
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: losing in the Elite eight to Michigan, and I have

953
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: Michigan U c l A, Yukon, and in South Carolina.

954
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 4: But essentially and all of the ones that all four

955
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 4: have the one.

956
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: Seed because I'm not yes, I do think Yukon' no,

957
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: Yukon is right now the best team out there right now. Yeah,

958
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: they're come final four time, come final four time.

959
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 3: Anything can happen, so.

960
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: We I would love to see a potential Yukon South

961
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: Carolina final four two because that can happen fast, and

962
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 2: I would also, but I would also love to see

963
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 2: a Yukon U c l A national championship because I

964
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: want to settle the score. There was a lot of

965
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: conversation on whether or not UCLA should have been the

966
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 2: overall number one seed and blah blah blah blah, Granted,

967
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: I ain't saying that they should have been, because I

968
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 2: was one who argued that they shouldn't have been.

969
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 4: That Yukon absolutely should have been the overall number one.

970
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: See but just for the sake of chaos, because y'all

971
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 2: know that's what I'm air force.

972
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 4: You love chaos because I love chaos, honey. Then I

973
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 4: could see that as well.

974
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: But I could also see South Carolina in Texas because

975
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 2: South Carolina don't.

976
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: Say Texas though, no Texas. I could see that right now. Yeah,

977
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: I could see that. I could see South Carolina Texas.

978
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: And now it's like, well one and one, where's the tiebreaker?

979
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 4: Right?

980
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: So all of those matchups can be like instant classics,

981
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: and I believe that, but we just got to see them.

982
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 2: So I will say one Elite eight matchup though, that

983
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm hoping to get to see is Vanderbilt in Yukon.

984
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 2: And I excuse me, yes, yes, I think that would

985
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: be a.

986
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: Good being the student versus the teacher versus Gina.

987
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, and but I want to get that

988
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: to this season. You remember Yukon and Vanderbilt with the

989
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,720
Speaker 2: two that were undefeated up until like the last second

990
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 2: when Vandy lost.

991
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I want to. I want to.

992
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 4: I want to see that Elite eight matchups. So should

993
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 4: be good. Always great talking college.

994
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 2: Basketball when we come back, we are going to level

995
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: this thing on out, all right, Cheryl it is. I

996
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 2: was about to ask where you're gonna be watching the game, man,

Speaker 4: Oh so happy for her.

1024
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,720

1025
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 3: but you might be able.

1026
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: To just put it in your back pocket sys in

1027
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: case you need to remind you might need it one day. Yeah,

00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: and it says there will always be someone who doesn't

1029
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: know your worth, and that's okay.

1030
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,120

Speaker 4: I know that's right. Y'all can act like y'all don't
