15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: all right. I got a two week old to go

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: with my own year old, so, thank my goodness in

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: my life.

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you're staying busy out there, of course,

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: and then of course we got the Final four. My goodness,

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: a two week old that that's got to be insane.

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Uh, it is it is. I spent the

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: first weekend of the NCAA tournament welcoming our newest family

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: member three weeks ahead of schedule, so it kind of

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: came from nowhere. We were expecting it. Her due date

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: is ten days from now, and that is not how

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. But she's healthy, she's all good. Oh

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: that's I don't know if she's a Yukon fan, but

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. I think we've seen it this whole time. Arnie,

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: we saw.

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure you picked the name out, but Arnie's a

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: good middle name. I just want to fill that out there.

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: Ole.

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you never know nowadays, twenty twenty four, Jason, come

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: on now, No, I'm okay.

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: God the difference. Ivy Elizabeth is her name. Oh, very

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: very nice. Congratulations, thanks so much. Congratulations. Yeah, the we're

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: down to the finals.

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm bummed out because I always root against Aaron Torres,

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: so I don't want a Yukon team to win. I'm

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: surprised he's not calling in after the win. I thought

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: he'd call on in and glowed a little bit.

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Never know, it could still happen. It could miss me

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: a little while ago. It could happen.

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: By the way, I got to tell you right off

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: the med before we get into the games and talk

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: about the finals and the and the semi finals and

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: what we thought about the tournament. What I've seen people

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: put out the you know, put a picture of the

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: view of where their seats are at in Glendale, Arizona.

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: View like whoopee and enjoy. Oh no, no, no no.

51
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, I gotta tell you

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: off the rails.

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: If one thousand dollars is the worst seat in the

54
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: house and get you in there, that's a bad view. Man,

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: you're because it's a football stadium.

56
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: So I got to tell you that that did not

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: look appealing.

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: People like this is where I'm sitting. I'm like, I

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: can't see the game from there.

60
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: Those Giants stadiums, I mean, they've done those, and you

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: know they did Houston, They've done it in a few

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: of these places, and like, I don't want to watch

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: basketball in the building that big, No, no, not if

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: you have bad seeds too, you know, yeah, right for sure.

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean and if you've spent that much money on

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: woh boy, that is a rough go. So it is

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: a final eighty six seventy two. Yukon will meet Purdue

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: on Monday. So we saw San Diego State play with

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: Yukon for about ten twelve minutes. That was pretty decent basketball,

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and then it fell apart. We saw Illinois play with

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: him for a half and then get embarrassed in the

72
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: second half of an elite game to the point where

73
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: they mercy ruled them and forced the backups on the floor.

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Before the final media timeout, they took all the starters out.

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Yukon did because they had it won. And now I

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: think Alabama played with Yukon for thirty maybe thirty two minutes,

77
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: and then it kind of started to get away from them,

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: and so I remember stan Van Gundy saying during the

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: regional can anybody play forty minutes with Yukon? So far, No,

80
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: so far, no one has been able to do it.

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: The biggest challenge is to come because you have a

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: one versus a one, right and you're going to see

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Clinging and Edie go against each other, and the backcourts

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: go against each other. So this is kind of the

85
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: heavyweight matchup that you want in this moment to crown

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: your champion. But Yukon does look like a steamroller right now. Well,

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: and they do. I mean, obviously that's why they were

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: the favorite. I'm just wondering, where is all that parody

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: when the tournament started and we're sitting here going legitimately,

90
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: there's like ten teams that could win this, maybe even

91
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: fifteen that could make a run at this thing.

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Yet nobody even close to putting the kabash on Connecticut,

93
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: and they're by far the best team out there, and

94
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: it's just like nobody else is even close. I mean,

95
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: maybe Perdue puts a good run into them on Monday.

96
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: We have to see what happens.

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: But I thought there was more parody in college football,

98
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: especially with the whole nil going on.

99
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was supposed to make it more equal. Yeah,

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and that's just not the way it was. I mean,

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I had Youukon in Houston as my final, and I

102
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: did think once we got to it, it was just

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know who to trust outside of Yukon mainly,

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't think it was wide open for anybody

105
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: to win. Well, how do you trust for teams to lose?

106
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: How do you trust Purdue after what happened to them

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: last year when they lost to Number sixty fairly Dickens.

108
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: The last three years, I mean, they lost to They've

109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: lost the seeds you shouldn't lose to repeatedly. I think

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: they've lost to an underdog, to a double digit seed

111
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: three of the last four n C DOUBLEA tournaments. Yeah,

112
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: and so now you finally make it there, Matt Painter

113
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: finally gets there. They had to escape Tennessee, which they did,

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: and then they were just too much for NC State,

115
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: especially in the second half of that game. I mean,

116
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: I didn't feel good about them. I had. I didn't

117
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: have them in the final four. I had Tennessee in

118
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: the final four, right, so did I? I had?

119
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: But I gotta I'm disappointed about the semifinal games today.

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: You know, Purdue NC State, really I never thought it

121
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: was to go ahead and win the game. Purdue pulled

122
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: away and kind of dominated a little bit early. Yeah,

123
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: got to within what four, six, it was three right

124
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 2: before the half, and then Purdue with a three pointer

125
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: to make it six.

126
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: But I you knew that Purdue was gonna win the game.

127
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: And the same thing with Connecticut. Also, there was no intrigue,

128
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: no suspense, you know, nothing controversial like the women's game,

129
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: nothing like that. You know what I mean, Jason, No,

130
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean the first half of the game, at least,

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, Alabama, Mark Sears was playing out of his mind.

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: He's a tremendous player, right right, he was. He was

133
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: shooting the lights out. They shot seventy percent from rightual,

134
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: yet they were down by six, and they were by

135
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: six at half time. No, it was it was three,

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: and they hit a three pointer right before the half

137
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: to make it six. I know it was forty four

138
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: to forty, was it? You you're right, forty four to

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: forty Okay, and then they outscored a by ten in

140
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: the second half because Alabama hit a shot right at

141
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: the buzzer. Okay, you're right, you're right, You're right right,

142
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: that's how you were right. It was six right up

143
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: until that. So, I mean they played them tough, and

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: they actually had a lead. I mean, Connecticut hadn't even

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: faced a deficit in the tournament for longer than like

146
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: forty seconds total, I think, in the whole tournament. And

147
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: so Alabama, I thought that first half gave us a

148
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: little bit of excitement, a little bit of drama, but

149
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: it was snuffed out relatively quickly in the second half.

150
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean I still felt like Connecticut was gonna win

151
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: the game. But Natosis teams are well coached, they play hard,

152
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: and that Alabama team is a high scoring team. So

153
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: you didn't feel like Connecticut was going to blow them

154
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: out by thirty, and they didn't. They blew them out

155
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: by fourteen, but still covered the spread.

156
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Artie, Yeah, yeah, Well I think you bring that up

157
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: because I know that that's your that's your Yeah, that's

158
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: your neck of the Wold.

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And I love Coach Hurley.

160
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Up by thirty, coach, well, what did you think about

161
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: the last two minutes? We're up by thirty four to

162
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: get down the thirty two.

163
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: I didn't like the way we were playing for the

164
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: last two minutes, very upsetting me.

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to go back to the drawing board.

166
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: We can't win a championship like this. I hate the

167
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: whole You know that you could be a by a

168
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: heart and he's complaining about something you can find if

169
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: you look at his face, you have no idea if

170
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: he's up by one hundred or down by It drives

171
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: me crazy sometimes when he when he does that yelling,

172
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: get the Reugh freeze when you're when you're up by

173
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: thirty or thirty four and you're yelling there's like thirty

174
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: seconds left, like what are you doing?

175
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: Enough is enough? You know what I mean? Jay? If

176
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: they win, if they go ahead and win on Monday.

177
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: I told Brian know this earlier this week when we

178
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: were in for two pros and a couple Joe and

179
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: it got told Torres this on Saturday night. The best

180
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: thing for college basketball would be for Yukon to win

181
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: because you get a villain out of it. Because if

182
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: you don't love Yukon, then Dan Hurley will make you

183
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: hate them. Oh, I hate it. I hate it because

184
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: of what he says. That the whole attitude. You know, yeah,

185
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: but I mean I think it's genuine, but it's genuinely

186
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: off putting, an easy to hate. It gives you somebody, well,

187
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: first off, it gives you a standard because you have

188
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: a back to back champion. But it gives you a

189
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: coach that's, you know, in his fifty it's gonna be

190
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: around for a while. That's arrogant, beyond belief. The way

191
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: he talks. Oh, he's like Nick Saban, Well, you know

192
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: we're playing East West North South Alaska, and yes we're

193
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen point favorite. But they're a good team.

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: J HE'SAI, we're very worried about this game. You know,

195
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: stuff like that that drives you, Craig well Man. He

196
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: even says the reverse though. He'll even say things like

197
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: we play harder than our opponent, like stuff like that.

198
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Like he says stuff that you don't necessarily expect people

199
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: to say. So if they go finish this, then you've

200
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: got somebody. You've got. You've got the villain that this

201
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: sport hasn't had. Is he the new coach K? Is

202
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: that what it is? I think so? I mean because

203
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: one Connecticut already has the blue bloodish feel because coach

204
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: K was very hated. He was very hated. Yeah, he

205
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: definitely was. And Duke was very hated, Yes, throughout that

206
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: entire run. And I think even now John Shier still

207
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to fully escape that feeling for Duke.

208
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: But you you do this if you're Dan Hurley and

209
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: like Jay Wright. Everybody liked jay Wright. Like there's no

210
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: to hate Villanova, No, not at all. There just wasn't

211
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: even though they were dominant. Maybe you didn't like one

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: player or something like that, but Jay Wright was just

213
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: uber likable, but Dan really is not. Like you can't

214
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: say a Yukon fan, man, It's easy to find a

215
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: way to dislike them, but you really can't say that

216
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: Yukon is the next Duke because Duke had still has

217
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: those players that are hateable, like Philipowski and all the yah. Yeah, yeah,

218
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: it's not about the players. This is fully about the coach.

219
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: Right, because well, we used to hate Duke also even

220
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: without coach k you know, we hated Duke plus because

221
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: of some of their players. We don't hate Connecticut because

222
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: of their players or any well.

223
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: Like personally, I think that like I won't tell you

224
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: whether I hate Dan Hurley or not, I'm giving you

225
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: the reasons why. I can understand why people would, but

226
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: I would say this, I think that Dan Hurley is

227
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the kind that you love to hate, right right. He's

228
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the heel that you'll pay money to go boo lose.

229
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: He's the one that you want to see get knocked

230
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: down a pig. But I don't know that you're better

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: off without some one like him. I think the same

232
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: thing is true with Nick Saban. I think the same

233
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: thing was true with Bill Belichick. Those kind of polarizing

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: figures especially in a sport that turns over so many

235
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: of its players to nil and everything else. The one

236
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: thing that you can continue to hate at Kentucky as

237
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: coach cal the one thing you can continue to hate

238
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: at Yukon is Danny Hurley. And if they go and

239
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: win back to back championships, then his arrogance is going

240
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: to reach new levels and he's gonna and I can

241
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: see it right now. Well, if we want to go back.

242
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: To back to back, we've got a lot of stuff

243
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: to work on, Jason. I mean, we can't just win

244
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: the championship by thirty. That's not acceptable.

245
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to go back to the scoring board

246
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and then figure this thing out in the offseason. If

247
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: you think we're gonna do it back to back to

248
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: back again, you know, yeah, I mean I don't like that.

249
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: I want to just go crazy exactly. But that's that's

250
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: perfect for sports. It gives you, It gives you something

251
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: to talk about, it gives you something to root for,

252
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: a root against. It's it's not milk toast, it's not vanilla.

253
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: There's meat on that. Oh yeah, well, who do you

254
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: hate more? Him or his brother? But since his brother

255
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: coaches at Arizona State, and they haven't reas done anything.

256
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: There's no hatred there, you know. Well, see that that

257
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: was just a low shot from Arizona Brad against Arizona State.

258
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: But Bobby Hurley is not really something to even think

259
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: about at this point.

260
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: No, no, but he's the same attitude. You could tell.

261
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: They're just the whole, the two piece of the pod.

262
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Those there. You know, well, I mean he was very

263
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: annoying at Duke. I mean at the time, I know

264
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: the reason why we hate Duke. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

265
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: well that's that's when you started to hate Duke. I

266
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: think the Duke. When did the Duke k trig start?

267
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: I think he started with Danny Ferry. Okay, then you're

268
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: right about that. Yeah, I think Danny Ferry and then

269
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: came Laterner. But I think it was the Danny Ferry

270
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: teams in like the around nineteen eighty seven, somewhere in

271
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: there in nineteen eighty eight, and then you got the

272
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: team with Hurley and Lightner and Grant and Thomas Hill

273
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: and Brian Davis and Antonio lan and what's his face

274
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: the one that was on uh Grayson Allen. Oh well

275
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: that was a little long time later. Before that, you

276
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: had Jerokee Parks, Oh yeah, Langdon and you know, any

277
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: number of any but of course you had your JJ Reddicks,

278
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: you had your my my least favorite guy to watch.

279
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: I just couldn't stand him smacking the court all the time.

280
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: With Steve wood Jahowski, Yeah, well, they had a number

281
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: of guys that were like most Yeah, there was there

282
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: was always somebody that you could really hate. Now there's

283
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: nobody on Connecticut team to hate. As long as you

284
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: get the coach, that's all you need. And that's and

285
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: that's the main reason why he takes up all the

286
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: I mean all the air out of the oxygen out

287
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: of the room for all the players. What that guy does.

288
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: And it's good that you watch, you watch, and your

289
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of at least you have a you have some

290
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: skin in the game, because if you don't love Yukon,

291
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: you probably want to see him get beat because you're

292
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: getting tired of hearing about them. But I mean, outside

293
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: of that, this tournament and I think what we'll do,

294
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: we'll take a break, we'll come back, we'll talk a

295
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: little bit more about the tournament as a whole, but

296
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: we can react to the games themselves. It's gonna be

297
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Yukona Purdue, which is what I think most people all

298
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: week thought it was gonna be. And I think that

299
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: that kind of opens up a larger deal. The tournament

300
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: was supposed to be wide open. You had the cool

301
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: story with NC State, came to an end against Purdue.

302
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Now you've got, you know, two of the top three

303
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: teams in a country playing against each other on Monday

304
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: night for the championship. So how do we feel about

305
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: this tournament as a whole. That's kind of where we're

306
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna look as we start to pivot towards Monday. When

307
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: we come back here Fox Sports Radio Live from theentirerack

Speaker 1: Welker back Fox Sports Saturday. Here Fox Sports Radio. I'm

319
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Jason Martin. He is Arnie Spaniard, Aaron Torres. Often he's

320
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: at the Final four. Hopefully he had better seats than

321
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: the ones you were telling us about.

322
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: I heard there was a lot of traffic out there

323
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: to go from Phoenix to Glendale. A lot of people

324
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: were posting on Twitter that it's like hours and hours

325
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: of driving and usually you go from Phoenix.

326
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: To Glendale it's no more than forty five minutes to

327
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: an hour. So I don't know how bad it was,

328
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: but I heard it was a pretty hectic out there.

329
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I just talked to Torres. He said he might be

330
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: in a car during our final hour. He might actually

331
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: call in, so we'll see. I don't know if he's

332
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, Yukon drunk right now? Yeah, look it up

333
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: or not? Is are you objective if you're Aaron Torres

334
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: and or you know college basketball guy, but it's your school, No,

335
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm not this. Are you Are you objective? No? Of

336
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: course not. It's all you con this and that they're

337
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: about to win two in a row.

338
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: They're the favorites anyway, so you don't really have to

339
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: be objective. You're the favorite. You know they're going to win,

340
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: or at least they should win.

341
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: There.

342
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: They're what a five and a half point favorite.

343
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: I think the line just came out, and I'd be

344
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: honest with you, if I'm betting the game, I'm weighing

345
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: the five and a half the way they've put everybody

346
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: on out by the way, you want to be bummed

347
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: out about something else. So that Colin Coward had his

348
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: picks out, he had the first two picks right, he took.

349
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: He laid the points in both games, but he had

350
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: Connecticut scoring over eighty six and a half points. They

351
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: scored exactly eighty six. So tough way to lose there

352
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: at the end, no doubt about that.

353
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: So we're getting Yukon and Purdue on Monday. I think

354
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: we all thought that this week, all right. I want

355
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: to ask you this. I've been thinking about it all

356
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: week long, and of course, you know, my attention has

357
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: been diverted and there's been other things going on. But

358
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: I just wasn't as jazzed about this final four, just

359
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: because it felt kind of anti climactic. I was a

360
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: jazz about the whole tournament. The whole well, we can

361
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: go back to that point, but it's just this felt

362
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: like what we were going to get, and it's what

363
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: we got. Like we got a decent half out of

364
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: Alabama and Yukon, but never watching that first game, and

365
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: remember I went to m C State for two years.

366
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: I had a dog in that fight, and not for

367
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: a second did I think they were going to win

368
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: the game. Even though DJ Horn was was fantastic, especially

369
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: in the first half. It just this week it just

370
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: felt like we were we were barreling down the road

371
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: towards the final that we are going to get on Monday,

372
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: and we just had a speed by along the way

373
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: that needed to be moved on. It was, but this

374
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: was it just didn't feel like these were heavyweight fists.

375
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: This didn't feel like it just didn't have that. Am

376
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I wrong or is that the way you saw it?

377
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: No, I didn't feel like any momentum was coming into

378
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: this week. I wasn't like, Oh, I'm so excited about this,

379
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: I can't wait for the matchups to get. Give me

380
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: more soundbites, give me live cut into the practice, let

381
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: me know what the coaches are saying. I mean, the

382
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: only thing the big story of the week was out

383
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: Connecticut couldn't get the Phoenix because they had.

384
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: Plane problems, you know what I mean.

385
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: So other than that, we really didn't get any news,

386
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: any breaking news, anything going on.

387
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: I just didn't feel any excitement of the game. And

388
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: which goes to the.

389
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: First thing I brought up to you this whole tournament.

390
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: I look, maybe there was maybe obviously a couple of upsets.

391
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: There was a buzzer beater or two, but we didn't

392
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: have the usual bunch of buzzer beaters out there and

393
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: the last second shots and a couple of you know,

394
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: more of those Cinderello wins out there.

395
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she stated, but is that really a Cinderella?

396
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: They're you know, they're from a major conference, So how

397
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: much of a Cinderella is that? I just, you know,

398
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: I gave it a B B minus right there. Overall,

399
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: You're right, though, I didn't get excited about this final four.

400
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because we expected pretty much to get Connecticut

401
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: and maybe Purdue. Are you excited about the championship game?

402
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see it, but I wouldn't be surprised

403
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: if Connecticut blew them out. You know, got out to

404
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: a lead and ran away from it. And I'm hoping

405
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: Purdue can keep it close. So we'll see what Zach

406
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: Edy could do. And by the way, I think if

407
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: I'm an NBA team, I'm gonna take a chance on

408
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: Zach Edy. You can't coach height.

409
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: The guy's got skills around the basket, can go with

410
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: either hand, especially when you got some guys scoring fifty

411
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: points in the NBA I never heard of before the

412
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: other night. So I think I'm gonna go. I think

413
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: I may take a chance on Zach Edy. I think

414
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: it was Dan Hurley that said, and you'll love this

415
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: because this is again giving a ton of respect to

416
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: the opponent. Of course in this case you should. But

417
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: he said this prior to the Final four. He said,

418
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: if I think it was Dan early he said, if

419
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: you don't take if an NBA team doesn't take Zach

420
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: Edie and the lottery, then that's a bad league. Like

421
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: I think that's insane. I don't think he's a lottery pick.

422
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he can play in the NBA.

423
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I really don't because his size is not gonna be

424
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: quite as dominant there as it is on the college game.

425
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: But I do think he is certainly worthy of a

426
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: second round pick, because most of them don't end up

427
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: being very much. I don't know. I guess I have

428
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: to go look through my NBA. You know, I don't know.

429
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know where he I don't know where he projects.

430
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know.

431
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: I've seen guys, you know, get drafted from Europe that

432
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: we've never heard of in the first fifteen picks that

433
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: we're never gonna go ahead and play in the NBA,

434
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: and they were just wasting to pick.

435
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm gonna look at the dr I'm gonna go

436
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna go to ESPN's draft list just because

437
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: I'm curious, because I haven't actually looked. Is this the

438
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: same was to that Broddy? Take it in the top fifteen.

439
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: I know.

440
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: We will get to Yeah, we will get I know that.

441
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 2: But my point is is, if you could have Brody

442
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: in the top fifteen, no reason why Zach Geedy shouldn't

443
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: be a lot of repick.

444
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: I promise you that, all right, So what would you think, Zaki?

445
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Where do you think Zach Edy would go? I mean,

446
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: they look they say me, right, I would say top fifteen. Okay,

447
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: well that's that's where ESPN's got him. They've got him thirteen. Wow,

448
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: there you go. They've got him thirteenth via trade. So okay,

449
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: that's fine, especially with you see what some of the

450
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: big men can do now in the NBA. It's it's

451
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: not like it's defensive oriented anyway. Well, I mean, but

452
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I mean. He doesn't shoot free throws

453
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: particularly well. He's not a distant knumber. He is very

454
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: much at more of an old school big right, which

455
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: maybe that's good. I'm not I'm certainly not rooting against him.

456
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: I just I don't look at him and just think, man,

457
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: that's an NBA star. I feel I feel better about him.

458
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: I'll say this. This is not very high praise, unfortunately,

459
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not really wanting to dog on him. I

460
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: feel a lot better about his chances than I did

461
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: about Jacob. Timmy's right. If Timmy could have stayed at

462
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: Gazaga for ten years, he should.

463
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: No, I hear what you're saying about that. Maybe Zach

464
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: gaed he's more of a guy that's Mark Eaton, but

465
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: can score. I don't know that a guy that's going

466
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: to give you twelve points and ten rebounds and three

467
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: block shots or two to three block shots, and that's

468
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: good enough in the NBA.

469
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: I've just I've seen a lot of big guys that

470
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: end up pretty clumsy and just look out a place.

471
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he does. I don't know, because

472
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: he looks so much larger than everybody he's dealing with

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: on the college level, and I want to see, you know,

474
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: how exactly is he going to match up with a

475
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: Jannis or somebody like that, even at his height. I

476
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll be curious to see. But if he's

477
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: if they've got him mocked right now in the top fifteen,

478
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: then we're going to get the opportunity to see what

479
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: he looks like on the pro level. Right his challenge

480
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: on Monday against Clinging, that's gonna be fun to watch

481
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: because those two guys have been the best two bigs

482
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: in the tournament by a wide margin, and so we're

483
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: going to see them battle. We'll pick the game at

484
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: the end, well, we're gonna pick the women's championship game

485

Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of odd they're doing it that early.

490
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: Is gonna have a huge audience. Well, what time would

491
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: you have added? Tip off? Seven or eight at night? Yeah?

492
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,040

497
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: didn't know that they were going to be worried about that.

498
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know that. Well, I

Speaker 1: phone while I was watching WrestleMania on the big screen.

501
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: So to step into a slim gym, that's a long

502
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: time ago. Okay, that's that's my extent of WrestleMania. Somebody

512
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,359

00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: How about that?

517
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 3: It's eleven straight double digit victories these last time.

518
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: Over under my over under on Arnie Spanier interrupting Steve

519
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,800

00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 3: margin by the two final entering any title game in

525
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,080

534
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,880

578
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,000

579
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 3: one of those comebacks was in eighteen ninety nine, God geez.

580
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 3: Another one was in nineteen forty eight, so since nineteen

581
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 3: forty eight, what happened tonight had only happened once in

582
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 3: Brave's history. There was a nineteen ninety one game at

583
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 3: Cincinnati where the Braves were down six to nothing in

584
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: the first and won seven six. Tonight's final was nine eight,

585
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 3: But all of this clouded by the news on star

586
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 3: pitcher Spencer Strider of the Braves. He is out with

587
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: elbow ligament damage after an MRI this morning, and Cleveland

588
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 3: Star pitcher Shane Bieber will have elbow surgery.

589
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: Back to you, that's just I knew that was coming

590
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: and I was just hoping maybe I read it wrong.

591
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's bad for all of us. I'm speaking

592
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: just as a fan, not a Braves fan. I want

593
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: to see him on the mound.

594
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: This is him in a bunch of pictures. As a

595
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: matter of fact, he did going down right.

596
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: Just baseball note, did you know before the season started

597
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: you could bet was the longest losing street going to be.

598
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: Over under eleven and a half games? What did you see?

599
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: What did you say by Iby was right off the

600
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: battle and what they've lost nine or ten? So three

601
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: more you're going to if you had said over eleven

602
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: and a half, three more, you're gonna win your bet

603
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: right off the start of the season. About that, geez crazy,

604
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: It's tough to bet negatively.

605
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: Like you know, they didn't put the women's basketball in

606
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: primetime for ABC, as you mentioned, because of course they

607
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: have America's funniest home videos, right, Oh you can't be

608
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: disrupting that.

609
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how many how many footballs to the groin?

610
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Can we see? Apparently one more? Yeah, I feel like

611
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: that one probably should have been in prime time. All right,

612
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: So we are live here in the tyrack dot com studios.

613
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: We've chatted a lot about the Final Four so far,

614
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: and we talked about kind of the tournament. I guess

615
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: as a whole one game left arene and I think

616
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: that we are excited to watch that game. Have we

617
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: come to a point where are we excited about?

618
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: You say that is this gonna break all times of

619
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: television records?

620
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: No?

621
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: I mean all we hear about the women's glas. I

622
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: mean the women's game is so impressive. When you're talking

623
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: about ratings better than any NBA finals game, World Series,

624
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: this that the other the list went on, I mean,

625
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: it was incredible. PAC twelve Championship, this game, that game,

626
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: football baseball. I mean, you say we're excited, but what

627
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: kind of how many people going to be tuning in

628
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: this seither?

629
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the ratings will be very good.

630
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what the number is going to

631
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: look like, but I mean you do have two heavyweights

632
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: battling it out. The tournament. Ratings have been great. The

633
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: first weekend was outrageously good. So there's a ton of

634
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: people watching this product. I am you know, I've been

635
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: in the opinion that you don't really want the upsets.

636
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: You want them to be close but not happens so

637
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: that you get big time matchups in a final four, right,

638
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: And I think that that I think that I still

639
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: feel that way, But I will say this the tournament

640
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: for me and maybe just sports as a whole, because

641
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: it's such a weird way to crown a champion, where

642
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: it's one and done and it's a it's a season

643
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: that just sets you up to hopefully be seated in

644
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time amid sixty eight

645
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: other teams, sixty seven other teams to win you know,

646
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: six in a row and win this thing, like because

647
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: it's such an awkward way to crown a champion. Like,

648
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a perfect way, but I

649
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of times you don't get the best

650
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: team winning. You probably will this year, but a lot

651
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: of times you get the team that the's hottest at

652
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: the right time winning this tournament. I kind of started

653
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: to feel like the magic and The beauty of this

654
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: tournament isn't who wins it, it's what happens along the way, right.

655
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: I agree that That's why I don't want to expand

656
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: it to nine. Totally agree with that. One eight.

657
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: Then you're taking away the charm of the whole one sixteen.

658
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, it's gonna be what one in

659
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: thirty and that sixteen seeds.

660
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: Win all the time.

661
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: Now you're taking away from the record book, You're taking

662
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: away from the charm.

663
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: You're putting too many teams in there.

664
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: Still would like to see more mid majors, but it's

665
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: not as far from a perfect system. But we can't

666
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 2: be adding droves of teams there. It would just dilute

667
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: the whole situation.

668
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I agree. I think that. I think that

669
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: less people could tell you who won the championship five

670
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: years ago than could remember a lot of moments that

671
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: didn't ultimately lead to a title and the stars that

672
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: were made along the way. Yukon probably, well, I don't know.

673
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: We'll see ukonor Purdue is obviously going to win on

674
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: Monday Night. We'll pick it at the end of the show.

675
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, we're gonna remember Burns for Minci State.

676
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: From this tournament, we're gonna remember a couple of performances

677
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: along the way in a few of the upsets, and

678
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: I think that maybe that's enough, Like maybe maybe when

679
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: it comes to this sport, it's about the event more

680
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: than it is the ultimate champion.

681
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: It's about the Saint Peters of the world. It's about

682
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: the George Basins go it to the Final coast exactly,

683
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: which was what Dunk City or something like that. It's

684
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: about it's even about Christian hitting the last second turnaround jumpers.

685
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: And we see this, so it doesn't have to be

686
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: all time the upsets. It's last second shots. We remember

687
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: that also, So it's it's stuff like that. As you

688
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: mentioned the journey along the way, the Vawpole game.

689
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: You know, we're sure. I mean, we see that every year.

690
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: It's it's uh, it's a give me the UCLA with

691
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: Tyas Edney t Coast to coast and Danny Ainge doing

692
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: it back in the day.

693
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: That's what we remember. And those teams didn't win a

694
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: chap what Tyas Eddy did. But anybody, here's another one. Actually,

695
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: I remember being in Atlanta at a six't eighty the

696
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: fan party, right, you were hosting. Yeah, I used to

697
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: work at that stage. Yeah, yeah, I know. And that's

698
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: when I lived in Atlanta. That's when I first knew

699
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, and so you guys at the station

700
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: at that point in time had thrown like a party

701
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and like we were watching the

702
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: tournament and the last game of that night that first

703
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: day was I think it was the Friday games was

704
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: Maryland and UNC Wilmington. Oh, and Drew Nicholas hit a

705
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: three at the very end of walk off and he

706
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: ended up walking straight into the tunnel and out and

707
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: they won it on that three. And then Maryland went

708
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: on to win that tournament. Wow, because they beat Indiana.

709
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: So that has happened a few different times, but I

710
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: think it's that moment that means more than Maryland actually

711
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: beating Indiana to me, I remember that Drews played way

712
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: more than the championship. So I do think I've shifted

713
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: to where if we get good stories for a couple

714
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: of weeks, I almost don't care as much about the

715
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: final four as I once did. Maybe that's sacrilege in sports,

716
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: but I don't know. We're gonna talk about the women's games,

717
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: and obviously that foul call, but we're gonna do it

718
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: to open us the next hour when we come back,

719
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: we're getting closer to the NFL Draft. We're gonna talk

720
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: about Stefan Diggs later too. But how about these quarterbacks

721
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: and all of the pub that we're hearing about? So

722
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: many of them? How many of them do you feel

Speaker 1: night two ones to determine your national champion. Plenty more

733
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: on that as we move forward. We've maybe joined by

734
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Torres, my usual partner here in this time slot.

735
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: A little later on in the show, we did want

736
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: to shift gears here. We're gonna talk about Stefan Diggs later.

737
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that when we have a little

738
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: bit more time, But to end this hour, Arnie, I

739
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, man, I know how important a quarterback is. Right,

740
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks most important position in all of American team sports.

741
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: There's not really a close second, especially when it comes

742
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: to the NFL. I'm looking at a lot of names

743
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: that play quarterback. I mean ESPN's got the first four

744
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: picks as quarterbacks, the first four and then another one

745
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: at twelve. Well, that means that'd be the Cardinals are

746
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to trade because they're not going to take

747
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. So that's correct, Yeah, which is very possible. Yea.

748
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: The Patriots may trade. Also, Vikings is a team they

749
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: keep looking at to move up. Right Jane and Jaydon Daniels.

750
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: I guess now is the what second pick yes in

751
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: the draft, followed by Drake May the third and now

752
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: talks about j J. McCarthy, though I'm not sure if

753
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: the Giants got to trade up to get him or

754
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 2: or exactly.

755
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: What it looks like the Vikings might be trading up for.

756
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: That's the trendy name because they have it's because of

757
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: the draft capital that they have.

758
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 2: But the funny part is you may get a better

759
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: quarterback in a bow Nicks or Michael good Jor or

760
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler in the second round and not have to

761
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: trade on up.

762
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think that go as far to

763
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: say Rattler, but I think that I mean my team,

764
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. It seems like more and more people

765
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: are picking bo Nicks to go there at twelve overall

766
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: because he's similar to Drew Brees.

767
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks are going to in the first round.

768
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: That's five Davie Well Pennix is going to go in

769
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: the first round, is he not?

770
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: Not? According to recent stuff that I've seen. Now, I

771
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: putting stock in Mox's it's tricky business, but a lot

772
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: of people have him in the forties at this point.

773
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, We'll see, maybe somebody gets a little

774
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: antsy or whatever. But right I think the name that

775
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: where this seems to have kind of gone off the

776
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: rails to me is J. J. McCarthy's going to go

777
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: number four.

778
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, number four, A guy that his own coach

779
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't even let him fill the ball in the second

780
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: half and handed the ball off every time because he

781
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: didn't trust him. Now, I'm not saying that's all because

782
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 2: of him, but I have not seen enough out of

783
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: McCarthy to want to trade on up to take him

784
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: that high he has to.

785
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: He's not showing me enough.

786
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: Now, maybe these workouts are different, and you know, these

787
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: scouts are looking for something that I don't know about,

788
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: but just based on game film, he isn't worth taking

789
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: at that point.

790
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I don't know if it's trust. You

791
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: mentioned trust. I don't know if it's trust or just

792
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: not needing him. You were able to run with Blake

793
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: Korham and play defense, so you didn't utilize him all that.

794
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: You say a lot about him, Who does that not one? Look,

795
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: I know, Look, I'm with you. I I feel like

796
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: the hype train has left the station when it comes

797
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: to JJ McCarthy. I'm rooting. I mean, I'm not rooting

798
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: against him. By me, I just haven't seen anything like

799
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: I'm getting. I heard Calherd say it this way a

800
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: week or so ago, and I've been thinking kind of

801
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: the same thing now for almost that long. I'm getting

802
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson vibes here like not. I don't think he's

803
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna bust like that, but there's always somebody that that

804
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: there's the hype doesn't match up there's a Blake Bortles,

805
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: or there's just a name where it's just kind of like,

806
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: where did this come from? We were JJ McCarthy going

807
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: top five to begin the season, and Matt Jones that's

808
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: jone Zack Jones. Yeah, but you know what, he had

809
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: a better pedigree. Mac Jones at least had some big plays,

810
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: even though you know, when you're playing against subpar opponents,

811
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: makes you look better to yet well receiving, Yeah, exactly so.

812
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but McCarthy didn't even have that. At least mac

813
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: Jones had a little bit of a while factor coming

814
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 2: on in McCarthy doesn't even give you that there, Jason.

815
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, he's got good size, and

816
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: he seems there's nothing about him I don't like, like

817
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: when I've seen him talk, when I've seen pieces done

818
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: on him and all this. Like I like everything about

819
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,479
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. I just haven't seen enough. And I've seen

820
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: enough instances of these pro days that end up not

821
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: being reality, and I just one or some of these

822
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: guys are not going to be great. Why why is

823
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: so many quarterbacks smissed on? What are they not?

824
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: And I know we're short on time, but where's the

825
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: evaluation go south, Jason, what do these coaches make their mistakes?

826
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, you're just getting I'm with a certain throw.

827
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Zach Wilson threw, you know, once in shorts,

828
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, we got to take him number one overall,

829
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: we should take him over to Schrevor Lawrence. I don't

830
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: think anybody's saying that right now. We're gonna come back

831
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do something we probably usually wouldn't. We're

832
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna talk women's college hoops. They have earned the spotlight.

833
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him next year. I'm Fox our number

844
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: I just want to know, are you into the eclipse

845
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: on Monday. I don't know if you're you know, if

846
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: you I don't think you're in the path of it.

847
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: Are you not? Or what? I actually haven't looked to say.

848
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: I know that they're selling glasses or they're giving away

849
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: glasses in a lot of places around home. I'm right,

850
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: I assume it's I'm right in the path.

851
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's like going right good, It's like going

852
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: right over my backyard. I was thinking of doing like

853
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: a live stream on Twitter in case people wanted to

854
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: see what was going to be. Like, I'm not sure

855
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 2: what to expect. They say it's going to get dark,

856
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: really dark for like four and a half minutes. Do

857
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: you know there's like about an extra two hundred and

858
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: fifty thousand people that came up to the town.

859
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: Where I live in. I live in a town of

860
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: like twenty thousand, So.

861
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: It's crazy all the amount of people that came up

862
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: to Burlington and Vermont just for this one thing.

863
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane. It's crazy. That is kind of wild

864
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: because it is. It's a short thing. I guess you

865
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: just get there early, spend some time in Vermont, and

866
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: there's some things that people like to do when they're

867
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: in Vermont, kind of isolated territory, and you turn it

868
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: into something you have some fun. Uh. That is odd

869
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: that you're having that much of an info. Yeah, people

870
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: have been waiting for like a year. I mean people

871
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: coming up from New York and.

872
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: And mass and and and just all over the Connecticut,

873
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: and it's it's absolutely insane. We had to shut down streets.

874
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: Our infrastructure can't handle all that traffic, so you had

875
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: to have people parking shopping centers and supermarkets and we'd

876
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: have to shuttle them down to the to the waterfront.

877
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: We got news crews, national news crews coming up here,

878
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: so it's it's gonna be quite the event coming up

879
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: on Monday. I'm not sure what to expect on this thing,

880
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah.

881
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure, Like what is visible here?

882
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: I actually need to look into it. You don't sound

883
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: like you're too much into it. I guess you know.

884
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 2: I'm into it because they've been shoving it down our

885
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: throats for the last two months. How everybody's coming up

886
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: in the airport had to get more flights and we're

887
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: all booked up here, so you know, we've been we've

888
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: been preparing for this for about for a while.

889
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I just I sort of missed the

890
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: hype train on the way to this. I love stuff

891
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: like this. I just didn't know about it until. Hey,

892
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 1: it's probably I've probably known about it for a handful

893
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: of weeks now. It just kind of snuck up. And

894
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: then of course when we had the whole you know,

895
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,479
Speaker 1: Daughter out of Nowhere two weeks ago, came a little

896
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 1: bit early, so you know that, Yeah, that that sort

897
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: of changed changed how things were going. But yeah, speaking

898
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: of daughters, there's some daughters playing, yes, a little bit

899
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: later on tomorrow in the afternoon, Iowa and undefeated South Carolina. Okay,

900
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: so they're going to be in this in the National

901
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: Championship game for the women. And the Yukon Iowa game

902
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: broke all sorts of records. The Iowa LSU game the

903
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: other night broke all sorts of records. We saw records

904
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: during the regular season. We saw Caitlin Clark Iowa games

905
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: doing more ratings than NBA Thirdday night games when they

906
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: were against each other. This has become you know, it's

907
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: it's become kind of a happening. It's become kind of

908
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: a Touchdowe moment. Is it because of the sport though?

909
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: Or is it because of the players like Angel rees

910
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: and Caitlin Clark?

911
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: Was I got to tell you the biggest story. Could

912
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: you imagine if the men's game on Monday, there was

913
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: a team that was undefeated, that was going to go

914
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 2: on and possibly have a perfect record, like Yukon, we'd

915
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: be going ballistic. We'd be talking about it NonStop. Twenty

916
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 2: four to seven. Here you got a team in South

917
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: Carolina who's trying to go undefeated. We don't even mention

918
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 2: that it's all about Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reeves.

919
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: And you know, was it a bad call?

920
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: Nobody talking about if a team was going on defeedda

921
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 2: we talk it's just the best team of all time?

922
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: You know, where does this stack against the best teams

923
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: in the ncable A history. We don't even bring up

924
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 2: the fact that South Carolina's thirty seven to zero.

925
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't think that's true. I think

926
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: that I do think that's been looman the whole time.

927
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: It's such a unique circumstance because of Caitlyn Clark, right,

928
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: and Caitlin Clark has grown bigger than the sport itself.

929
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: And I don't just mean the college game. I mean

930
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: there's nobody in the w NBA that even approaches her

931
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: level of star power. There's just not right. Most people

932
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 1: couldn't name five w NBA players, right, Most people could

933
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: name three w NBA players. They could probably tell you

934
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: Britney Griner because of Russia, right, And they could maybe

935
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: tell you maybe an Escube just because of the three

936
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: point shootout recent yeah, and maybe, And then you you

937
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: have some people that would know, like a Brianna Stewart,

938
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: and it's some of these players, but it's not it's

939
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: not common. WNBA is not a it's not a product

940
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: that's discussed. But college women's basketball this year has has

941
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: has changed it, And I think a lot of it

942
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: goes back to the way that lsu Iowa scenario played

943
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: out last year, and then the Clark story is something

944
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: people were able to follow and kind of glom onto

945
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: an unlike men's college basketball, where you just don't know

946
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: a whole lot of these guys. I mean, look, Ukon's

947
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: If Yukon wins Monday, that's going to be an incredibly

948
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: dominant two year run where I would bet you not

949
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: a third of the sports watching public could name their

950
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: starting five.

951
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 2: Right, No, you're one hundred percent about that. It's it's

952
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 2: not so much about the players in the star power,

953
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: it's who's polarizing.

954
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: Now.

955
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's a great player, but she's polarizing. That's what

956
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 2: people want to see.

957
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Now.

958
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 2: Angel Reeds is far She's not even what a top

959
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 2: five pick in the WNBA drafts supposedly, but she's polarizing.

960
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: So that's why we want to see what she's gonna do.

961
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot of better players in college basketball than

962
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: Angel Reese. We saw that over the last couple of days.

963
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 2: The one one for South Carolina card Dolphin is a

964
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 2: real good one.

965
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: I liked her freshman at USC and then Paige Becker's

966
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: who of course, yeah, yeah, Juju Watkins. When you add

967
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: the question that you asked, I think is an apt

968
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: one about whether or not this is the sport growing

969
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: or something else, and I think it's something else. I

970
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: think this is a unicorn moment. I could be wrong,

971
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: but this feels like there's not another Caitland Clark coming

972
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: behind this. Caitland Clark doesn't mean there's not a lot

973
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: of great players still left that they play women's college basketball.

974
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 1: But there's something about the Clark story and the way

975
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: that it has been marketed, sold and put out there

976
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: that's not going to be duplicated because we've never seen

977
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: anything like it before in women's basketball, and I don't

978
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: think we're going to see it after she leaves. I

979
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: think the bigger question is this, and we will talk

980
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: about the foul here in a second, at the end

981
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: of the at the end of the Iowa Yukon game,

982
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: I think the point the bigger argument is does Caitlin

983
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: Clark's stardom peak tomorrow? Meaning win or lose, but certainly

984
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: if you win. If Iowa does stop an undefeated run

985
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: from USC beats down Staley's team, Clark ends her college

986
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: career with a championship and all the accolades that come

987
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: along with it, the records that she broke this year

988
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: and everything else. Is it all downhill from there? Because

989
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: the Iowa basketball story and the Iowa basketball following is

990
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: much bigger than the Indiana fever, who I think has

991
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 1: a number one pick and would conceivably take her number

992
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: one overall. I mean, you got Jason Steakis traveling with

993
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: Iowa to watch them play. As I always become a

994
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: big women's basketball fan, I'm like, oh interesting. Right at

995
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: the time, Caitlin Clark's doing her thing. Nothing wrong with that,

996
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: but that's the whole point here. I don't know who

997
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: it was that made this comparison. Maybe it's more than

998
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: one person, but I saw it and I thought it

999
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: was very appropriate. You talked about Caitlin Clark being polarizing

1000
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: about there are a lot of people rooting against Iowa

1001
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: because they're kind of tired of it. There's a tebow

1002
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: factor here with Caitlin Clark. I want her to lose. Yes,

1003
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: there is a tebow factor because of the coverage, because

1004
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: you can't escape it anywhere.

1005
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: But I can't understand that because if you wanted a

1006
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 2: coverage for all these years and you're finally getting ready

1007
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 2: agreed with you, so why would you be against it now?

1008
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: There may be a rais thing involved with this. I

1009
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: don't know if you want to goe and get into

1010
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: that some people just wanted to lose based on her

1011
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: race alone, or because there's sick and tired that she's

1012
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: getting all the coverage.

1013
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: There's been some dumb look, Arnie. I'll say this, there's

1014
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: been some really dumb thing said on that side of

1015
00:49:53,760 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: the aisle, on that whole argument, and unfortunately I sent

1016
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: Torrez this message a week or two ago. I said

1017
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: that that is coming, that argument is coming down the pike,

1018
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: and you've had I think it's Jammel Hill has come

1019
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 1: out yes, said that she's frustrated that Caitlyn Clark's getting

1020
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: coverage Black players would not right and you know things

1021
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: of that, ilk can You've got the whole Well, she

1022
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't be talked about if she wasn't white, and like, honestly,

1023
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: that's low brow, lowest common denominator, trash.

1024
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: I agree, but there's a lot of people, kind of

1025
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 2: not a lot, but there's been that narrative out there.

1026
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 1: That's the reason why I bring it out. I don't

1027
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: agree with it. I think she's polarizing. I think she's

1028
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: a great player. I think she's Larry Bird right, more

1029
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 1: likely the female Steph Curry because she shoots that long

1030
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: shout out there. We were all enamored.

1031
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: With Steph Curry because he was shooting it deep when

1032
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 2: he was with Davidson in the tournament. So we're like, wow,

1033
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 2: this is absolutely crazy out there.

1034
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: Well, that's more like the Indiana state and Iowa. They

1035
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of feel the same, right right. And you've got

1036
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, Larry Bird, who didn't look like a lot

1037
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: of the the NBA players that you thought at the time.

1038
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: And of course you had him in Magic against each other,

1039
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: and here you had Caitlin Clark and you have you know,

1040
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: various opponents and opposition there. There's a similar part of

1041
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: the country. And look, Indiana fever going number one draft

1042
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Clark. That seems perfect right, Like, it seems like

1043
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: right in the same part of the country, you know,

1044
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: right next door all of that kind of stuff. Like

1045
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: it it has a Larry Bird ring to it, which

1046
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: means it also has the Larry Bird attachment to it.

1047
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: I thought what Paul Pierce said was insane. I thought

1048
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: that Paul like Paul Pierce to come out and say, oh, okay, well,

1049
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't gonna buy into Kitlin Clark until

1050
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: I saw her against black people, right right. And that's

1051
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: what she said after. That's what he said after LSU game.

1052
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: And he took a lot of heat for that.

1053
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 2: He took a lot of deservedly So that's absolutely absolutely,

1054
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't believe and they agreed with him

1055
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: that both guys on the Battle Skip and Keihan actually

1056
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: agreed with him on that thing. So I thought that

1057
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 2: was absolutely acid nine point stupid.

1058
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: As we've seen her against different competition for years, It's

1059
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: not like this is the first opportunity that she had.

1060
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: It's not even the first opportunity she had against that team. Right,

1061
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: that was just again, we got to be better than that.

1062
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: Like that, that cannot be the argument, but there, I

1063
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: do think there's a polarizing fact. I'm gonna tell you

1064
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: how polarizing she is. And I'm not making this up.

1065
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 2: I swear, and I told my wife today and I

1066
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 2: actually got on my phone and I did this until

1067
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: I found out it was thirty five dollars. I'm like,

1068
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get it. I woked up to see

1069
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 2: how much an Indiana Fever t shirt was today. I

1070
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: did that and it was thirty five just because you're

1071
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 2: because I wanted to buy one. I was gonna buy it.

1072
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: Indiana Fever shirt now, the first one that came up

1073
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: with thirty five dollars. I went to the w NBA

1074
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 2: store and they were a little bit cheaper, and then

1075
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 2: I think I went to the Fever website. I really

1076
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: didn't think I could find it, so I had to

1077
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: go to like the fanatics or something.

1078
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: But actually looked that.

1079
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 2: I mean what, I would never think about getting a

1080
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 2: w NBA T shirt if it wasn't for Kaitlin Cark.

1081
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: And that's that's the point. And that's why I don't

1082
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: think that this works after this year the same way

1083
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: that it has. It doesn't mean that the game is

1084
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna go recede into nothingness. I just think this is

1085
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: the peak. I think this is the high point. It

1086
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: doesn't look at there was one Caitlin Clark. That doesn't

1087
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: mean that another one can't come around, but we have

1088
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: never seen one before, and so this is this is

1089
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: the moment for women's basketball. But she gets to other stuff. Yeah,

1090
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean you say, is this the top the pinnacle?

1091
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: Not really? I mean, forget about what you could do

1092
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: in the w NBA. Suppose she ended up joining the

1093
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: Big Three. Suppose she ends up getting into movies or

1094
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: something like that. Who knows, well, I mean, I don't

1095
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: know about that latter when I have no idea, but

1096
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: the Big Three, the Big three I found. I mean

1097
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: I thought, first off, I thought brilliant by ice Cube,

1098
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: Like really smart decision by him. Fantastic. I mean, there's

1099
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: no loss there. I mean that I would watch the

1100
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: Big absolutely in that way, just with a curiosity fashion alone.

1101
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: The idea of her playing the NBA is nuts. But

1102
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: her playing in a Big Three, uh, in that's kind

1103
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: of a circumstance. I mean, that's all about entertainment anyway. Like,

1104
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: that's astely different problem. Would you take the five million

1105
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: from the Big Three or ten million from Dave Portanoy

1106
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: who offered her ten million to play in his inner

1107
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Mural team. That's interesting. I mean, that's just a man

1108
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: with money to burn. But he's not buff. No, he's not.

1109
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: I know, he's not here would be my thing. You

1110
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: can't take the ten million for Portnoy because that seems

1111
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 1: almost demeaning. That's a lot of money. There's a lot

1112
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: of body to pass up there, Jason, I know, But

1113
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: doesn't that sound kind of condescending? It does, But that's

1114
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: a Big Three, the Big Three. Some people might even

1115
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,439
Speaker 1: say that, but the Big Three can't be de can't

1116
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: be deemed condescending when you have multiple reports of w

1117
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: NBA players salty that Caitlin Clark was getting an offer

1118
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: to play in a Big three and they weren't. It's like,

1119
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: and that's because they realize what we know, Arnie, and

1120
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: that is that Caitlin Clark is a bigger star than

1121
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: every single player in the w A wait a minute.

1122
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 2: Wasn't that the reason why Brittany Grinder had and these

1123
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 2: guys girls have to go over to Russia because they're

1124
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: not getting paid enough money. So now, well that's not

1125
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 2: true anymore because he wouldn't play well.

1126
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: But wait, you know what doesn't be as good as

1127
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: that one player? Look, one player gets it, that means

1128
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: two players. But that does mean there's a unicorn effect here.

1129
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that you all of a sudden. She's

1130
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: not gonna bring people to the w NBA game. What

1131
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: she's gonna do is bring me to a w NBA

1132
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: box score for the Indiana Fever to see how she did.

1133
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see how she plays from night

1134
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: to night. I don't think I'm gonna be sitting down

1135
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: to watch w NBA games. It's just not my bag,

1136
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: but you'll bring you to it. Three is not for me,

1137
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: for sure, but she said no to that. Well, I

1138
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,439
Speaker 1: didn't know. I thought she was going to decide after

1139
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know. She said she was focused on the tournament,

1140
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: declined the offer. I didn't know she'd declined. I wouldn't

1141
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: thought she thought. I saw said she declined it. If

1142
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: she hasn't, good for her, because once it's over, she

1143
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: should do it if she wants to do it. And

1144
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: I do think it would be fun. I mean, if

1145
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: we can watch Tom Brady play golf, we can watch

1146
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark in the Big Three. Yeah, but people think

1147
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: it's going to diminish her value because they're going to

1148
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: see how good she is against other men and stuff

1149
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, but.

1150
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 2: She's been playing against men all our lives. I assume

1151
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: growing up against boys.

1152
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: She's not going to play in the NBA. No, But

1153
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: the gimmick that is the Big Three, that's just the

1154
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: kind of thing that you would do unless I mean, yeah,

1155
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: you want to protect your brand, and if you think

1156
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: that that's going to go extremely poorly even again, and

1157
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, guys that are out of the league and

1158
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 1: you know, well past their prime and all this, but

1159
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: you're still that's not you know, the difference in athleticism,

1160
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: and you don't feel like you can get your shot

1161
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: off and all those things. I get all of that.

1162
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: Gotta worry about your endorsement money too. Yeah, that's that's

1163
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: got that state farm money rolling in right now. See

1164
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: that ad every every time. I will see that ad

1165
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: in every commercial. It was real quick because I know

1166
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: we're up against it.

1167
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 2: There was a guy I was and I follow on

1168
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 2: Twitter that a couple of weeks ago, is you said

1169
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: that you people are not gonna believe this. My wife

1170
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: was called up out of the blue from CBS to

1171
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: be in a commercial, an insurance or something commercial. That's

1172
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: because her his wife's name was Caitlin Clark, so she

1173
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 2: was the other Caitlin Clark.

1174
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: One of those insurance commercials. It was pretty funny. It

1175
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah I remember seeing that. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes,

1176
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: she goes. She shoots from me here. You know that

1177
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: that that person. So yeah, you you never know where

1178
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: the commercial endorsements are gonna come from. You gotta worry

1179
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: about that. So yeah, we went longer on that that

1180
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: I thought you're going to. But the foul, we'll do

1181
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: that when we come back. We'll talk about the foul.

1182
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: Herd round the women's basketball world. On the other side,

1183
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: whether or not it was a foul should have been called.

1184
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: All of that we'll discuss here on the other side.

1185

1198
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: lot of Final Four chatter in the first hour. We'll

1199
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: jump back into it here in a bit. U Kond

1200
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: of Purdue will be your matchup on Monday. Iowa and

1201
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina will be your matchup in the women's final.

1202
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: Much more intriguing than the men's, much more I think

1203
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: so too. So let's talk about before we shift back.

1204
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: Let us talk about what happened at the end of

1205
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: Iowa Yukon with less than ten seconds left, Iowa had

1206
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: a one point lead, Yukon got called for a solid screen. Edwards,

1207
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: I believe, got called for a for a solid screen,

1208
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: gave the ball back to Iowa and they end up

1209
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: winning the game. And it was a great game. It

1210
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: really was. Like we talked about the ratings and how

1211
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: this has been kind of a touchstone moment for their sport,

1212
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: for women's basketball, even though I don't think it's a

1213
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: one that has duration. I think that it's kind of

1214
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: a moment in time. It's a snapshot in time. I

1215
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: went out of my way and watched Iowa and LSU

1216
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and Yukon and USC early this week, and then I

1217
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: went out of my way to do the same thing

1218
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: during the Final four, and I enjoyed those products. And

1219
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how this season comes to

1220
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: an end for the women, especially with all the whopla

1221
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,919
Speaker 1: that's been around an undefeated South Carolina team and more

1222
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: so Keitland Clark. But Yukon Iowoa deserved the better ending

1223
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: than that. That was unfortunate or I even sit you

1224
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: a text. I was like, well, that's an abomination.

1225
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate. Yes, it's unfortunate. Nobody wants to see it

1226
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 2: end like that.

1227
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see it end like that.

1228
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: It comes to the button, No, I mean, yes, I

1229
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 2: would like to see a shot at the buzzer win

1230
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: or lose.

1231
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was a foul, and it was a

1232
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: double foul. But she threw the elbow and she went

1233
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: ahead and moved their foot all so you know of

1234
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: the fouls called on that on screens, Moving screens like

1235
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: that is because and it was Paige Becker's I believes

1236
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: fault because you got to rub up against a person

1237
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: given the screen to make sure the defender can't get between.

1238
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Because when you let the defender get between the person

1239
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: sending the screen feels like they got to take an

1240
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: extra step or something.

1241
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 2: You can't move. You gotta be set. So yeah, what

1242
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: I like it to end that way? No, do you

1243
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 2: call that late in the game. Usually you let it go.

1244
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: That was a little too blatant to let it go.

1245
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 2: I didn't want it to be called. I wish it

1246
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been called. But that's exactly what the guy's

1247
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 2: job was to call that a foul, and it should

1248
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 2: have been.

1249
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: I was a ball. They did everything right. I've seen

1250
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: a lot worse than that not called yes, in spots

1251
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 1: where it didn't decide a game either, Right, I've seen.

1252
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Here's the reason why I think it's a bad call.

1253
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Everything you're saying, I think you can justify. I don't

1254
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: think she threw an elbow. I think her elbow came

1255
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: out a little bit, but I don't think that. I

1256
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: don't think she threw an elbow. Okay, you could say

1257
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 1: that her feet weren't completely planned. It was bang bang

1258
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of moment. Food left foot was still moving. But

1259
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay, let's say that call doesn't get made. Right,

1260
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Are we up in arms or is anybody complaining that

1261
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: a solid screen was not called? No, we still say,

1262
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, that was a bad screen. They let

1263
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: it go, because I don't think so. I don't think

1264
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: we're just body is arguing.

1265
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 2: That we're not up in ours, because when you let

1266
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 2: something go like that, it's more about the shot to

1267
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 2: win it, and we call how fantastic it was. So

1268
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: you know, obviously we're going to concentrate more on that.

1269
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: Also, if you don't notice the no call to me,

1270
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: that makes it a bad call because all we notice

1271
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: now is the call. Right, you can say, all right,

1272
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: judgment here. If you really want to brass tax it,

1273
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: then okay, that's a foul. I agree with everything that

1274
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: I saw for the most part, was just you wanted

1275
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: to be decided by them. You wanted to be decided

1276
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: by the players. You don't want it to be a

1277
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: whistle in a spot like that that look, you don't know, right,

1278
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: Like maybe Yukon doesn't make the shot, maybe Iowa still

1279
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: wins the game. But when it comes down to something

1280
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: like that, and of course because of who's involved, it

1281
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,479
Speaker 1: becomes conspiracy theory. One away.

1282
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I was just about to say that you're not

1283
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 2: going to be one of those people that say, oh,

1284
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: they want I would to.

1285
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Iowa did not cover the game. They

1286
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: were two and a half point favorites.

1287
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: I believe in that game, and she missed, Caitlin Clark

1288
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: missed the last free throw.

1289
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: They only won by two. Yeah, I mean not even

1290
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: from a Vegas perspective, but just the easy kind of

1291
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: lazy take is they're on the take. Because ESPN wants

1292
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark in the finals, right or the NCAA wants

1293
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark in the finals. It's just like easy, like no.

1294
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't buy into that a bit. Still don't think.

1295
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is arguing that that if that's

1296
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: a no call, I don't. I don't think anybody's even

1297
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: talking about it all at all, regardless of what happens

1298
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: in the rest of that nine seconds, win or lose.

1299
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: That's why I think it's a bad call, because if

1300
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't get made, we're not up in arms. It

1301
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: is made, we are.

1302
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 2: Maybe we're not up in arms, Jason, but it's surely

1303
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: gonna be pointed out.

1304
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 1: I really, yeah, I don't think. I don't think, well.

1305
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 2: You know what I I Again, it's too bad we

1306
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 2: didn't get it decided on the court there. But I

1307
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 2: always felt like he had to make that call. It

1308
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 2: was a little too blatant for me.

1309
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Now, you could have gotten a way with maybe a

1310
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: foot moving or just the elbow moving, but since you

1311
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: did it with both, I've got to call that foul.

1312
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to stay and Steve Seger doesn't throw illegal screens,

1313
01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: but he might throw throw one at one of you

1314
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: back into your corners, please, Steve, did you guy even

1315
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: set a bad call or no?

1316
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 3: I am more convinced it was a good call today

1317
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 3: with the new video, like the New York posts, I

1318
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 3: changed my mind now, not just we talked about this

1319
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 3: a lot on last night's show. I wish we had

1320
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 3: this angle because this really shows it more completely that

1321
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: she was sliding to the left to set the screen

1322
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 3: and wasn't really set when Iowa ran into her.

1323
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Because you gotta brush off the screen. That's why she

1324
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 2: had Yeah, that's why she moved her foot, but she

1325
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 2: knew the defender was going to get around her, so

1326
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 2: she tried to gohead and throw that extra elbow or something.

1327
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 3: Which means your point is great about Becker's because she's

1328
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 3: turning the corner way too wide, there's too much space there,

1329
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 3: and there's three problems in the last ten seconds with Yukon,

1330
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 3: not just this first off. They could have run the

1331
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 3: clock down these last ten seconds, had the last shot

1332
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 3: win it at the end and Iowa doesn't touch the

1333
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 3: ball at the end. Instead, they run this play, oh

1334
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 3: we got nothing here, and then four seconds to go

1335
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 3: after they've blown six seconds on the possession. Then this

1336
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 3: illegal screen and they never get a shot of so

1337
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 3: they have to follow Caitlyn Clark. Right after that, Clark

1338
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 3: misses her second free through and you kind didn't get

1339
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 3: the rebound.

1340
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: By the way, what she did at the end of

1341
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 2: the game at one point one seconds off was like

1342
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: the dumbest thing I think I've seen.

1343
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: In my entire life.

1344
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 3: On the inbound pass.

1345
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 2: People are praising for her for doing that. You know

1346
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 2: what I do is I turned my back to her

1347
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 2: right when she inbounds, and I turned right around and

1348
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 2: interced the past. And well they didn't, but maybe get

1349
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 2: a lay upon that right. It's just it was stupid.

1350
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 3: Those who didn't see Caitlin Clark was able to waste

1351
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 3: almost another full second and again by throwing the inbounds

1352
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 3: pass off the back of the legs Vader who turned

1353
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 3: back to the inbounds.

1354
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 2: But then you should turn around again and try to

1355
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: intercept the pass.

1356
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 3: For what it's worth. Today, basketball analyst Seth Davis, after

1357
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 3: seeing this video said, not just textbook call, obvious, clear,

1358
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 3: not even a question. He says, I was among those

1359
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 3: who initially thought thought it was a bad call last

1360
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 3: night because I only saw the close replay. This is

1361
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 3: not even a debate. It was a foul end quote.

1362
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I will admit this in real time. I haven't seen

1363
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: that video yet, so I'm basing my whole argument on

1364
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: as were we last night. I see I need to

1365
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: see the other one. Then I haven't seen that, so

1366
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: we had find it now.

1367
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 3: The final on the women's game tomorrow with Iowa against

1368
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 3: number one ranks South Carolina thirty seven and oh. Last

1369
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 3: night's IOWA win drew fourteen point two million viewers, a

1370
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 3: new record for a women's March Madness game. A little

1371
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 3: context for sports TV this week. Thursday night for the NBA,

1372
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 3: we had the Nick Sacramento game on TNT that was

1373
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 3: one point one million viewers. At the same time, the

1374
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 3: NIT final got one point four million viewers, and then

1375
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 3: the TNT late game one point four to three million viewers.

1376
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 3: Now gets Clippers and the next night ten times the

1377
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: audience for the IOWA game amazing on cable.

1378
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 2: They got more than any the NBA game, Like I

1379
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: told you, PAC twelve Championship.

1380
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 3: Off more than any NBA game in nearly two years.

1381
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: Yes, but NBNY NBA Finals game right.

1382
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 3: Right since the Golden State clinch, I think, which is

1383
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 3: almost two years ago.

1384
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: Amazing. It's amazing.

1385
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 3: Put it in context, though, it's it's awesome. The IOWA

1386
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 3: ratings through the season and postseason have been awesome. Remember

1387
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 3: last year's men's final when San Diego State was in

1388
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 3: it and guts yes beating up in a frankly forgettable

1389
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 3: game against Yukon. That men's March Madness Final was the

1390
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 3: record low rating for the men's tournament and that was

1391
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 3: about fourteen point eight million. That was still higher than

1392
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 3: the Iowa game last night in the ratings, and that

1393
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 3: was a women's record, so for and I still heard

1394
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 3: it this week from a host people saying, you know,

1395
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 3: the women's ratings are doing better.

1396
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

1397
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 3: They are not, not even closed. Iowa games are awesome

1398
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 3: in the ratings. The women's tournament certainly is not compared.

1399
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 2: Well ever since they started the brackets in twenty twenty two.

1400
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 1: That was a joke. You get the joke. I don't

1401
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: know if you guys get that joke. I forget about

1402
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: you don't get that joke, Oh, then forget about it.

1403
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 3: Okay, Happy to purduing Yukon each one at the final

1404
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 3: four on the men's side in Arizona tonight. You know

1405
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:18,799
Speaker 3: in Arizona was not there sadly, but seventy five thousand

1406
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 3: people were there in the football stadium. And you are

1407
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 3: correct with the bad seats yet again in the football

1408
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 3: stadiums if you get upper level basketball seats, because a

1409
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 3: basketball court, we don't think of it that way, just

1410
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,839
Speaker 3: doesn't fit on the fifty yard line. It is tiny

1411
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 3: when you were up in football upper level seats, but

1412
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 3: horrible congratulations. It's the scan that goes on year after

1413
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 3: year for the NCAA, and they could still get what

1414
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 3: three hundred bucks for the kay if you can't. It's

1415
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 3: the United States. Go ahead, free market, go for it.

1416
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 3: Purdue beat NC State sixty three to fifty and then

1417
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 3: Yukon down to Alabama eighty six seventy two. That Yukon

1418
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,759
Speaker 3: game was tied with twelve minutes to go. Men's final

1419
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 3: is Monday night. In the NBA. We had four games.

Speaker 3: Tuesday Lakers versus Golden State NASCAR on FS one tomorrow

1427
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 3: from Martinsville. The late baseball game went to the Angels

1428
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 3: over the Red Sox two to one. Atlanta came back

1429
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 3: to beat Arizona nine to eight. Tampa Bay with a

1430

Speaker 3: and Gencarlo Stanton win those two homer in the same game.

1434
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 3: The Yankees record is thirty two to four including playoff games.

1435
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 1: Back to you, Steve, what do you have coming up

1436
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: in your extended segments?

1437
01:10:56,040 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 3: Plunty oh hoops, needless to say, including mention of the

1438
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame class for twenty twenty four which came

1439
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 3: out today.

1440
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, excellent, looking forward to that that'll be coming

1441
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: up after the break. Here from the tirereck dot Com Studios,

1442
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: Arnie Spanier jas Martin here. Hey, So I went to

1443
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: two different websites trying to find that other video. I

1444
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. New York's got to keep looking for

1445
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: New York Post. So yeah, I look for it because

1446
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty obvious when you see that angle, because

1447
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: I've seen it, And once you see it, you'll say,

1448
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh my goodness, man, that's you got to

1449
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: call that. You'll go from even saying okay, maybe you'll

1450
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: let it go to like, okay, good call, and yes,

1451
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: you have to definitely call that. You can't let something

1452
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: like that slide when you're oh.

1453
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 3: Good, arny their slide. She was sliding to the left. Yeah,

1454
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 3: she was sliding illegal screen.

1455
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, there it is. New video adds twist a

1456
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: controversial foul.

1457
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, she got that foot going too, So the foot

1458
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 2: and the elbow both both there.

1459
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 1: That was the reason why they called the foul. Okay,

1460
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: and she sold it too, so let's give her credit

1461
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: for that too. All right. Well then you know what again,

1462
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: I was basing my I guess my argument. A lot

1463
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: of people. You're right, A lot of people were like you, Jason,

1464
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: they couldn't believe it. Write when it happened.

1465
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 2: I went on Twitter and people were just ballistic over

1466
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: the thing. And I think people kind of calmed down

1467
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 2: after they got to see more videos.

1468
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:16,560
Speaker 1: To you.

1469
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 3: Even the ESPN analysts remember bold, Yes, yes they went nuts.

1470
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all went nuts.

1471
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 3: I would like to hear what they say today.

1472
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: Probably nothing likely.

1473
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: I just got Van Pelt did a full one eighty

1474
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: and said I was wrong. I really he was going

1475
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 2: crazy last night, and he said, you had to.

1476
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean in the moment. If you haven't seen the

1477
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: angle that I'm gonna watch during the break, it certainly

1478
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 1: didn't look like I mean, you can understand why. The

1479
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: other thing I will say is when you talk to

1480
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,759
Speaker 1: Sue Bird and Tarasi about a call that went against

1481
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: yukon the game, not sure that that's the most unbiased group.

1482
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: That'd be like talking to Torres and asking whether or

1483
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 1: not that.

1484
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 3: Foul Rock, who I think the previous game actually said

1485
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 3: the Angel race wave goodbye. When she loses, you can

1486
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 3: wave goodbye my career.

1487
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Yes. I saw that she got heat for that too.

1488
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: She should as she did.

1489
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 3: Wow, I think she's still gonna have a career, just

1490
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 3: for the record, just not at LSU.

1491
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she did declare so indeed, that's where we

1492
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,680
Speaker 1: find ourselves. So yeah, we'll come back and we're gonna

1493
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: hear what what kind of hoops nuggets the saga has

1494
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: for us On the other side, I'm gonna watch this

1495
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come back from the break right before

1496
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: we go to the saga. I'm gonna probably do my

1497
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: own Maya kulpa and say, Okay, yep, I wish they

1498
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: had had that angle for us all last night. So

1499
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: I've actually got it pulled up, so I'll watch it

1500
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: during the break and we can evaluate it here on

1501
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 1: the other side. That's all next from the tyrack dot

1502
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: Com Studios. It is Arnie and j Martin In here

1503
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back in live from the

1504
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: tyrack dot Com Studios. Jason Martin, Artie Spaniard here with

1505
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: you on Fox Sports Saturday. All right, yep, saw the video.

1506
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: It's a foul. Yeah, that was quick. Yeah, that's a

1507
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: quick turnaround.

1508
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 3: I do appreciate the difference.

1509
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: It was pretty clear. Yeah. I mean I still see

1510
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: people trying to argue that you still don't make that call.

1511
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 1: I disagree now that I've seen it from that angle,

1512
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: like she's sliding into place very clearly trying to make contact,

1513
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,799
Speaker 1: like this was not incidental. This was as clear as day.

1514
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 2: So I wish there was no call, and you know what,

1515
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 2: there might have been other calls that were not made

1516
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 2: or that were missed.

1517
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: That happens in every game.

1518
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 3: And they also want to bring up the other failures

1519
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 3: in the final seconds by a Yukon that we just

1520
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 3: mentioned last segment, or how about missing a layup right

1521
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 3: out of halftime and what you eventually have as a

1522
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 3: one point game. And I mean, there's any number of

1523
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 3: things where you could have done better that you had

1524
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 3: control of in addition to the foul call, which I.

1525
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,839
Speaker 1: Agree with this day. Man, It's like there's a difference

1526
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: between not wanting to see a game in that way

1527
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 1: and it being the wrong call.

1528
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 2: If you were if you were ref at Jason and

1529
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 2: you didn't call that and then you went home, how

1530
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 2: would you be feeling about yourself? Would you feel that

1531
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: you did a good job or would you like, Man, I.

1532
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 1: Don't know, because I don't know if I would have

1533
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: even seen the angle. I have no idea, Like it

1534
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: just depends on there's a lot of circumstances. There's let's

1535
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: let Steve fill us in on some things.

1536
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 3: Well, reminder, we've got Iowa in the final because of

1537
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 3: that in part. Women's final is tomorrow against number one

1538
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 3: South Carolina thirty seven and oh. The last undefeated women's

1539
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 3: champion was Yukon in twenty sixteen. Last year at the

1540
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 3: Final four, Iowa defeated an undefeated South Carolina team, So

1541
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 3: we shall see Iowa not only edged Yukon last night,

1542
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 3: that was after South Carolina blitzed NC State in the

1543
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 3: second half to win that game. And now we've got

1544
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 3: the Yukon men in the Monday men's final. Remember last weekend,

1545
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 3: Connecticut had a thirty to nothing run winning the regional

1546
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 3: final in the East against Illinois. Incredible stat here tonight

1547
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 3: that they put up to every game in this tournament.

1548
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 3: Yukon had a thirty point lead against each an opponent.

1549
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 3: They were actually tied with twelve minutes to go against

1550
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 3: Alabama in this game eighty six seventy two, Connecticut the final.

1551
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 3: So since the end of John Wooden's UCLA dynasty in

1552
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 3: the mid nineteen seventies, we now have six defending champs

1553
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 3: that have made it back to the championship game the

1554
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 3: very next season a chance to go back to back.

1555
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 3: Florida was the last to do so about fifteen years ago,

1556
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 3: Duke did so in the early nineties. Georgetown nineteen eighty

1557
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 3: five had a chance to go back to back until

1558
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 3: the upset against Villanova.

1559
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: What about UNLV No UNLV they won a ninety and

1560
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: then lost in the semi it.

1561
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 3: Would not have been a finals appearance. Early nineties. Duke

1562
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 3: took him Arkansas a mid nineties, made it back to

1563
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 3: the final and got beaten by UCLA and Kentucky nineteen

1564
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 3: ninety seven they made it back. I do not recall

1565
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 3: who beat Kentucky. Yeah, that was the NAMI game might

1566
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 3: have been. You know, I don't know what team that was.

1567
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 3: That's who it was, exactly that your microphone just now.

1568
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: The best day of my life. I was at that game.

1569
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 3: The defending champs Connecticut beat an Alabama team tonight that

1570
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 3: was in its first ever Final four. Purdue is a

1571
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 3: team that won a regional final last weekend against Tennessee

1572
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 3: when Zach Edy had forty points and the rest of

1573
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 3: the team had thirty two combined. Zach Edy in seven

1574
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,919
Speaker 3: straight games now, going back to the Big Ten Conference tournament,

1575
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 3: he's had at least twenty points, ten rebounds on sixty

1576
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 3: percent shooting in seven straight games. Longest streak by any

1577
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 3: Division I player in the last twenty five years, and

1578
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 3: he's doing it in playoff games.

1579
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 2: You'll never have a guy average out many points in

1580
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: a major program going in the second round like that.

1581
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:44,919
Speaker 1: If he goes in the second round.

1582
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 3: Well, stay tuned for that. That's late June.

1583
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: Still.

1584
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this run should keep him out of

1585
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 3: the second round, you would think, But stranger things have happened.

1586
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 3: Speaking of stranger things, Statsink says to have twenty points

1587
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 3: rebounds on sixty percent shooting seven straight games. The last

1588
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 3: NBA person to have a streak that long was Charles

1589
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 3: Barkley nineteen ninety. Oh wow, so it's been a while

1590
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 3: what we're seeing him do. He had five turnovers tonight,

1591
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 3: but it was twenty points twelve rebounds. The rest of

1592
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 3: his team, though, was thirteen of forty one shooting from

1593
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 3: the floor. Guard Braden Smith, in fact, was one of nine.

1594
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 3: He had six assists, five turnovers, but they eventually won.

1595
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 3: In fact, it was a twenty point lead late in

1596
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 3: the game, sixty three to fifty. Is the Wolfpack shot

1597
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 3: twenty nine percent from the floor in the second half.

1598
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 3: And this morning here Pacific time, we had the Basketball

1599
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame's announcement on the new class and in

1600
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 3: from the North American Committee, Chauncey Billups is now a

1601
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. He averaged fifteen points a game. Keep

1602
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 3: in mind, this is not the NBA Hall of Fame.

1603
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 3: It's for everything in basketball that you've done. Vince Carter

1604
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 3: is a Hall of Famer. I could see that one coming.

1605
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 3: He was twenty one points a game as a starter

1606
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 3: in what turned out to be a very career. Michael

1607
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Cooper from the Showtime Lakers is into the Hall of Fame.

1608
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 3: Not only a former NBA Defensive Player of the Year,

1609
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 3: he was First Team All Defense five times. The Phoenix

1610

Speaker 3: Suns all time leading scorer Walter Davis is now into

1611
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame.

1612
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: Greathound.

Speaker 3: won a gold medal in the Olympics for the US

1615
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 3: in seventy six. Coach Bo Ryan from Wisconsin is into

1617
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 3: That includes by the Way Division three champions four times

1618
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 3: with Wisconsin, Platteville as well.

1619
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve, we still got another hour of the program.

1620
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: We may have a run in by Aaron Torres. We'll

1621
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: see he was live at the Final four, of course,

1622
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: so we can get his thoughts on that. But we

1623
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: will revisit the final four matchup Purdue and Yukon has set.

1624
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: What do we think of the final four? We will

1625
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: talk about that when we come back here on Fox

1626
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. What's going on? Everybody? Welcome man. Our number

1627
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 1: three of our program could be our number one for

1628
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: you'd ends on what you've been doing. But we're glad

1629
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: you're here. However you're here. Arnie Spanier is with me.

1630
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm Jason Martin. Aaron Torres off this week as he

1631
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: is covering the Final four. He may join us, he

1632
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: said he might be on a car. It's his Yukon Huskies,

1633
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,759
Speaker 1: his all the modern team. They'll be going against Purdue

1634
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 1: on Monday. We will talk tourney here in just a second.

1635
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: We are live from the tire rack dot Com studios.

1636
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 1: Tire rack dot com. We will help you get there

1637
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:29,839
Speaker 1: an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection.

1638
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: Over ten thousand recommended installers tire rack dot com. The

1639
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be so inca State and Alabama.

1640
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: If you if you have red in your colors. Then

1641
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 1: not gonna be playing on Monday Night. It's gonna be

1642
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: the Boilermakers and the Huskies. And we talked about this

1643
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: off the top, Arnie. This felt a little anti climactic

1644
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: going into the final four last night because this seemed

1645
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: like a foregone conclusion. And although n C State played

1646
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: tough for a half and certainly Alabama gave you kon

1647
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: a good half and really a good about thirty minutes,

1648
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: the cream ended up rising to the top and we

1649
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: end up with two of the top three seats entering

1650
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: the tournament playing against one another for the championships. So

1651
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you get the heavyweight fight to end it. I don't

1652
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: know if we're an aberration or if we're kind of

1653
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: more indicative of where a lot of people are where.

1654
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't a final four that really had our attention,

1655
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: maybe as much as we would have liked and certainly

1656
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: as it has been in years past. No it is,

1657
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and you said it's we got the heavyweight fight that

1658
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: we wanted.

1659
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 2: Yes, we got the heavyweight fight. Yes I'm going to watch,

1660
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 2: Yes I'm interested, But it still doesn't have the intrigue

1661
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:50,640
Speaker 2: that the women's.

1662
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: Game has, you know, really we're only talking about Zach Ed.

1663
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 2: Yes, there's other players that going to be involved with.

1664
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 2: The only polarizing figures Zachi and early the coach at Yukon. Otherwise,

1665
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 2: you know, we really don't have those other storylines like

1666
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 2: we do in the women's game. So yeah, we're going

1667
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 2: to watch the men's finals and we're going to enjoy it.

1668
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna see how Zach g Edy goes and if

1669
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: yu Kad can win two games in a row. But still,

1670
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm just not, you know, feeling the big game vibe

1671
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 1: like I am in the women's game. Well, I mean,

1672
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons for that is and

1673
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: we discussed it earlier. We didn't talk about it from

1674
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: the Zach Edy perspective, but Zaki Edi is the most

1675
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: recognizable player in the final game, even though Yukon is

1676
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: what a five and a half point favorite, Yes, I

1677
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 1: think is how it opened against Purdue, Zach Edy is

1678
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: the most recognizable face. But he's not a charismatic guy

1679
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: that leaps off the screen, that sells a bunch of tickets,

1680
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: that brings that level of interest. He's not, I don't

1681
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: want to call him dull. There's just not a there's

1682
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 1: not a lightning bolt that's to Zach Edy. It's not

1683
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: there's not a Zion Williamson at Duke kind of factor

1684
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: or something like that. Whereas Caitlyn Clark is the opposite,

1685
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark is the star the men's game doesn't have,

1686
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: at least especially when it comes to these two teams.

1687
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: That's the thing about this Yukon run, the Florida run

1688
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:26,679
Speaker 1: that has been much discussed because it's back right, Yeah,

1689
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: that Florida team. We knew those players though, and a

1690
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: lot of that I think it's because it's polarizing. I mean, Noah,

1691
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: you either loved him or hated him, and you had, like,

1692
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,759
Speaker 1: you know, you had Teddy Dupey, and you had various

1693
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: guys on that team that were very recognizable and Billy Donovan,

1694
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 1: who was another kind of polarizing coach as well. Here

1695
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 1: in this case, we are I think a lot of

1696
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: basketball fans are coming to know some of these Connecticut players,

1697
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: but it's just not the same level of star power. Now.

1698
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Now South Carolina as a brand, them being undefeated and

1699
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 1: what Don Staley has done there that makes it intriguing

1700
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: because it feels kind of like this is the final

1701
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: challenge for Caitlin Clark to get over. But it's all

1702
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: about It's all about her, and yes she is polarizing.

1703
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:14,640
Speaker 1: Zach Edy. All Zach Edy is is big, and he

1704
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: plays basketball like his size indicates he plays well on

1705
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: the inside. We talked to, you know, when Steve de

1706
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Sager was giving us those stats the last hour. He's

1707
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: talking about eighty shooting sixty percent from the field in

1708
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: all these consecutive games, and what a crazy record that is,

1709
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 1: and Charles Barkley being the last guy to do it

1710
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 1: back at nineteen ninety. And I don't say her nodding

1711
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: listening to it because I'm like, well, of course, I mean,

1712
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't shoot for more than about five feet away

1713
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,799
Speaker 1: from the rim. He's taller than everybody else, guy fans longer,

1714
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been shot, doesn't get blocked.

1715
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 2: Hasn't been done in thirty four years. So you know,

1716
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 2: it's not as easy as it stally makes it out

1717
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 2: to me. Yes, he's taller than everybody else, but he's

1718
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 2: got skills, he's got moves on the inside.

1719
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: He can go, he does too, he does, but he

1720
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: also doesn't take high risk shots. He's not one of

1721
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 1: those bigs that also goes out and take threes. Nobody does.

1722
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 1: The man takes twenty foot jump shot and things like that,

1723
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: where the percentages are naturally going to be lower even

1724
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: if you're a good shooter.

1725
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 2: Right, But he does have a man in front of

1726
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 2: him because nobody tries to front him because they can go,

1727
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 2: they al easily get burned. So I mean, he does

1728
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 2: have a guy in front of him that's bodying him

1729
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 2: up every time he does one of those little hook

1730
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 2: shots or something.

1731
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 1: One thing, one thing you can take away from last night.

1732
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: I hope this is going to be the case on Monday. Also,

1733
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: there's definitely been a whole lot of free throw shot

1734
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: by Zachie this season. To produe that's been a storyline

1735
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 1: throughout the college basketball season, really wasn't the story in

1736
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: the Final four game against NC State. The officials were

1737
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: very relax. They did not call it. They didn't call

1738
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: a very tight game. It was consistently loose throughout that

1739
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: first game. And I kind of hope that's what we're

1740
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: gonna get on Monday. Let him play a little bit,

1741
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Let's not have four Yukon players in foul trouble, and

1742
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: let's not watch a free throw shooting contest. For that

1743
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: bothers me more than anything is when a player picks

1744
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: up two fouls and now you have to decide do

1745
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: I sit him for the last eight minutes of the

1746
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: first half, have to do right? And you know what,

1747
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: the five is too little?

1748
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,640
Speaker 2: You got to make it six at least, you know,

1749
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 2: because it is the case that official gets the wrong

1750
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 2: and credit somebody with a foul when he really should

1751
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: have called the foul.

1752
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, five is just I mean.

1753
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 2: You're affecting the game because when you get to two,

1754
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 2: you're gonna go ahead and sit your guy down, and

1755
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 2: now you've taken him out of the games.

1756
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: You agree, I actually agree with you on that. I

1757
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: feel like five actually has a better chance to harm

1758
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: the entertainment value of the basketball game. And I think

1759
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 1: ultimately that's what you're playing for. It exists for ad revenue,

1760
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: It exists for entertainment. That's what sports is. It's competition, yes,

1761
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: but the reason we watch is because it's entertaining, and

1762
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 1: the competition is entertaining. Nothing is entertaining about taking a

1763
01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: talented player off the floor, especially when things can be

1764
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: so subjective in how they're called. I understand that sports

1765
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: is imperfect, but I agree with you. I think six

1766
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: fouls would be better, even though an extra time in

1767
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: the NBA game, I think six fouls would keep your

1768
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: keep your stars or keep your best players on the

1769
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 1: floor longer, and I think that's better overall.

1770
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 2: For this time, I'm okay for a technical foul if

1771
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 2: you pick up after six instead of throwing him out

1772
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 2: of the game or anything like that. You know, two

1773
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 2: foul shots and the ball out of bounds is a

1774
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 2: pretty good punishment too.

1775
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again it wasn't that way in the Final four,

1776
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: and thankful for that. Like DJ Burns did get two

1777
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:39,000
Speaker 1: fouls early and again, but they were not eaty fouls

1778
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: though they weren't. One was a terrible foul within the

1779
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 1: first minute of regulation where he had the ball taken

1780
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: away and I think just his retaliatory move ended up

1781
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: getting getting tied up and knocking Braden Smith over and

1782
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: they called that foul. That's just a foul. If you'r

1783
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: DJ Burns, you can't commit that foul because they need

1784
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: you on the floor, and it's it's at that point

1785
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: in time, like you got to let that one go,

1786
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: even like that was self inflicted on that stage. But

1787
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: if as long as we don't see Zach Edy at

1788
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: the free throw line twenty five times on Monday night,

1789
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: I want to see him in Clinging be able to

1790
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 1: battle and be allowed to play physically because both of

1791
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 1: them are physical bigs, right, and let us see that matchup,

1792
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: not let us I don't care for the ref show

1793
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 1: either way. I don't want to see d take a

1794
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: bunch of shots. I want to see Clinging take a

1795
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: bunch of shots. I want the fouls to be pretty clear,

1796
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: like if you've got guys hacking Eadie, yeah, you've got

1797
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 1: to call that. But I wanted to be decided by

1798
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: the guys on the floor, and too often you could

1799
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: accuse that not being the case in Purdue games. Luckily

1800
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't in the final four. Hopefully it won't in

1801
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: the National championship game. But the Yukon run, I don't

1802
01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: really know what you're supposed to say in addition to

1803
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: what we did in the first hour. But if you're

1804
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,600
Speaker 1: just tuning in, at some point they've been now what

1805
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: dis Seger said, they've been up thirty against every opponent

1806
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: in this tournament at some point until right, Yeah, it's

1807
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 1: just it's been a remarkable right, It's been numbers that

1808
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: we've not seen from any other champion before. They're going

1809
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: to win two.

1810
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 2: In a row, and like since we've seen UCLA's dynasty,

1811
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 2: there's been a few runs that have won two in

1812
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: a row, but not too many out there. I don't

1813
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 2: know if they're gonna go down as one of the

1814
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:29,479
Speaker 2: all time great teams or or anything to that effect,

1815
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 2: like the old Kentucky teams or UCLA teams, but it's

1816
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 2: certainly impressive with what they've done so far.

1817
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have, And I think that I think what's

1818
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,679
Speaker 1: been interesting this time around is last year when it happened,

1819
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: I think people were just starting starting to realize, oh

1820
01:29:45,880 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: YOUU CON's pretty good, huh. And now you come back

1821
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: this year and you're seeing what they're doing in the

1822
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: way that they're steamrolling opponents and talented teams. I mean, Illinois,

1823
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good basketball team that they just absolutely humiliated

1824
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,680
Speaker 1: in the ELITEA. They didn't beat them, folks, they embarrassed them,

1825
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: They demoralized them, They stole their souls like that was

1826
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 1: That second half was as hard to watch unless you're

1827
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: a you confident that that was impossible to watch like

1828
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: that was. I felt bad for everybody that's ever been

1829
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 1: associated with the University of Illinois watching what happened to

1830
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 1: them like they are. They're absolutely just mauling everybody. And

1831
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 1: so we're all watching that in real time now and

1832
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: everyone is coming around anybody that watches sports. It's just like, Man,

1833
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 1: I knew they were good, I just didn't they were

1834
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 1: this good by the way starting to discover it. Where

1835
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:40,679
Speaker 1: do you have Danley Hurley?

1836
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 2: First of all, I think he has a chance of

1837
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 2: maybe being in the coach k Dean Smith type air.

1838
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure about that right now. He's got

1839
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:52,680
Speaker 2: a long way to go, but he's not near the

1840
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 2: Bill's self time Izzo. Maybe he's up there with Kevin

1841
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 2: Samson and Mark fuel Well.

1842
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: I mean, for sure he's up there. I mean Samson

1843
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: hadn't won yet. If he wins two, I mean Samson's

1844
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: been great for sure, yes, and you talk about few

1845
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 1: few hasn't won one yet, He's I think he's already there.

1846
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 1: I think that. I think if he wins too in

1847
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 1: a row, then you're talking about him the way you

1848
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,639
Speaker 1: talked about Jay Wright. I think that's kind of where

1849
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: he is, and if he's he's able to continue recruiting

1850
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: and bringing in talented people and driving that program forward

1851
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 1: and they end up, you know, taking four of six

1852
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,600
Speaker 1: or something like that, that we're going to have a

1853
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: much different discussion. But I think he's already approaching that

1854
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Bill self level territory. How the coach cal Powrie that

1855
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: type of level, right, Yeah, I mean I think here's

1856
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: the here's the here's the one that I think that

1857
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be talked about soon. At

1858
01:31:49,479 --> 01:31:52,919
Speaker 1: what point is he the standard instead of Jim Calhoun?

1859
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: Isn't he the standard now over Joe M. Calhoun? Or no? Historically? No, no,

1860
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: not just you know, I mean overall. I don't mean today.

1861
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean Calhoun's not coaching. I'm saying when you look

1862
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:09,600
Speaker 1: at when you look at Connecticut basketball, you think of

1863
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Jim Calhoun on the men's side. But at what point

1864
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:17,799
Speaker 1: it is Danny Hurley become Jim Calhoun more than Jim Calhoun.

1865
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 1: I think if he wins two in a row and

1866
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: he's still in his fifties and he looks like he's

1867
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: going to coach for a while, he doesn't strike me

1868
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:26,640
Speaker 1: as a guy that's about to get out of it.

1869
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 1: And if he stays there, obviously, but I mean used

1870
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 1: to plant to Jim Calhoun type. You're starting to really

1871
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 1: find rarefied air. Now it's early, I get it. And

1872
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: he may lose on Monday, I mean produce very good.

1873
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,440
Speaker 1: If they beat him, We're gonna have a different discussion.

1874
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: If they win, Connecticut becomes the pre eminent program in

1875
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 1: college basketball. Who has a better chance of surpassing somebody Hurly,

1876
01:32:55,240 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 1: surpassing Calhoun or john Shire, surpassing somebody like coach k Obviously,

1877
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: it's got to be Hurling. I think so too, because

1878
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: one he's already won, he has a chance to win too.

1879
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 1: And I just don't think that Duke's recruiting is going

1880
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: to be what it used to be. I think that

1881
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: the way that they got talent years and years ago,

1882
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 1: I think that that's becoming harder and harder in the

1883
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: year in the n I L era. Yeah, they're not

1884
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:27,720
Speaker 1: going to have the depth to offer guys the opportunity

1885
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 1: to play next year and all this like, no, these

1886
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: guys are going to go elsewhere, and their likeness and

1887
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: things of that nature. They're going to be able to

1888
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: make money and play in big conferences, and again, I mean,

1889
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 1: Duke finds itself unfortunately. I mean, you look at where

1890
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: college football is. Who knows what the landscape of college

1891
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 1: athletics as a whole is going to look like a

1892
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 1: decade from now, no exactly. And I think that I

1893
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 1: think that Shire stepped in, and Shire is a good

1894
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,400
Speaker 1: talented coach, but I just I think that Duke is

1895
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:00,799
Speaker 1: Duke's best era is passed. I think that they're always

1896
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 1: there's always going to be a respect level for them,

1897
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 1: but I don't see them ever getting back to that level.

1898
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So you think it's going to be like

1899
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lull now, like a twenty

1900
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,560
Speaker 1: year loll for Duke or something that I don't know

1901
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: if he can call it a lull, because they're still

1902
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the mix, and they're still going

1903
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:18,680
Speaker 1: to be a high ranked team and they're going to

1904
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 1: play a lot of tournament games and things like that.

1905
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just don't see that program anymore.

1906
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 1: I think that there are well they're not going by

1907
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:31,639
Speaker 1: the way Louisville or anything like. No, I'm not saying

1908
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: they're going to fall off like that. I'm gonna I'm

1909
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:36,839
Speaker 1: saying though, that they've been caught the same way Kentucky

1910
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 1: has been caught in the CC by Alabama and Tennessee.

1911
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: You're seeing the same thing nationally. I don't think that

1912
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: you look at Duke and everybody else, Duke is not

1913
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: the Evil Empire anymore. My argument is if Yukon wins

1914
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: on Monday, they are officially the evil Empire because they

1915
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: have the coach that's easy to hate, and they won

1916
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 1: two in a row, and they've won to strike to

1917
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,920
Speaker 1: get absolutely, I agree with you on that. Plus Curly

1918
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: makes it very easy to hate him too. You know that,

1919
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: don't you. Yes, he does, because he says stuff. I

1920
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: like him. I think he's great. I think he's great

1921
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: for the sport. I like it. I like the personality

1922
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: because it's just it gives you endless entertainment value. You

1923
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: love him or hate him, I think he is good.

1924
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 1: If i'm sport a college bass.

1925
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm about the narrative that, oh, they don't why you

1926
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 2: caught in the wind, that's why the plane was late

1927
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 2: getting into those mechanical problems. What like you think the

1928
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 2: NC double A or somebody wants to make sure we're

1929
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 2: gonna send the plane with mechanical problem.

1930
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 1: The biggest problem as we go to break there. The

1931
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: biggest problem with conspiracy theories is if you believe one,

1932
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 1: you are apt to believe them all right, right, you

1933
01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:48,679
Speaker 1: start to see conspiracies everywhere. Sometimes stuff just happens right

1934
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: and you can you can read into it all you want,

1935
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: But I uh, I think you're begging it that way.

1936
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 2: You're not gonna go ahead and mess with a plane though,

1937
01:35:58,560 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 2: my old.

1938
01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: Boy, you can't to and Purdue both very successful, just

1939
01:36:02,439 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 1: like in basketball, as successful game plan starts with the

1940
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 1: right players. The team at Tractor Supply brings hustle and heart.

1941
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:11,959
Speaker 1: That's what really sets them apart. So lace up the sneaks,

1942
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:14,960
Speaker 1: make the winning play by heading to your local Tractor

Speaker 1: you by Tractor Supply. Well, come back, and you know

1948
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:35,759
Speaker 1: what we haven't gotten to talk about. What's that Stefan Diggs?

1949
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 1: What are the implications for the bills? What are the

1950
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 1: implications for the Houston Texans and the rest of the AFC.

1951
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 1: We will discuss next on Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back

1952
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Arnie Spanning with me. I'm Jason Martin here Fox Sports Saturday.

1953
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 1: We're in our final hour of the program. Bernie Fratto

1954
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:58,639
Speaker 1: will follow us. Aaron Torres usually with me on Saturday nights.

1955
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: He's off. He is covering the Final four as he

1956
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:05,439
Speaker 1: does every year. Said he might call in if he

1957
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: was able to in the third hour. Not sure it

1958
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 1: will happen, but we'll certainly be chatting with him next week. Arnie.

1959
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: We have not talked about this yet, and usually we

1960
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: would have for sure because it is a big story.

1961
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs is now a Houston Texan. Yeah, I already

1962
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 1: told you. I thought after the season the most interesting

1963
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: team in the AFC this coming year was to me

1964
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: the Texans because they were the ones that had the

1965
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 1: clock on a rookie quarterback we already believed to be

1966
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 1: legit in CJ. Stroud, and they were going to be

1967
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 1: able to with cap money and assets surround him and

1968
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: build off of that. Where a lot of these guys

1969
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the time is up for their rookie contracts, bills are

1970
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 1: coming due, they're having to lose talent. The Chargers I

1971
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,560
Speaker 1: think are super interesting too, certainly, and there are a

1972
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:54,560
Speaker 1: couple of others, But I had the Texans listed and

1973
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:59,240
Speaker 1: now they go get Stefan Diggs. What's your initial reaction

1974
01:38:00,200 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: to that story and how it has played out and

1975
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: especially how man I mean. I read that piece from

1976
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 1: the Athletic from their bills writer, and it was basically

1977
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 1: a hit piece on Steffron Dicks.

1978
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know when there was smoke, theres fire, and

1979
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:16,760
Speaker 2: that's what happened here. There was a lot of smoke

1980
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 2: about Stefan Diggs. Remember we went like before the start

1981
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 2: of the season, he was like, I need to get

1982
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 2: more targets. He was targeted like the most or the

1983
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 2: second most in the NFL the year before.

1984
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: We really didn't know what was going on.

1985
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 2: It seemed like he was more worried about his statistics

1986
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 2: than worried about the team himself.

1987
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: I think the team had enough. I don't think he

1988
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 1: really got along with Josh Allen. Better to cut him loose,

1989
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: now trade him. There are some good wide receivers in

1990
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 1: his draft three that would be taken in the top ten,

1991
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 1: five in the first round. I don't know if the

1992
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 1: Bills could.

1993
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:49,960
Speaker 2: Trade up or what they could do, but they figure,

1994
01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 2: why not get themselves a wide receiver with the rookie

1995
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 2: contract and start new with wide receiver. It's not like

1996
01:38:56,880 --> 01:38:59,719
Speaker 2: they're giving up or anything like that. They're just tired

1997
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 2: of his antics. And I don't blame them, to be

1998
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:04,759
Speaker 2: honest with you, I'm ready to move on from him. Also,

1999
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 2: if I were them, and I don't know where they're

2000
01:39:08,080 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: picking of the draft off the top of my head,

2001
01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 2: but if they could move up to the top ten,

2002
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna get themselves a great wide receiver.

2003
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting from this angle, winning covers up

2004
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: a lot. The Bills just went through a season where

2005
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: it didn't really work out for them very well, right,

2006
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you see the flaws a

2007
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:34,720
Speaker 1: lot more vividly, and you start to get sort of

2008
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: the ruman. Same thing happened in Philadelphia with AJ Brown.

2009
01:39:37,439 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: Right towards the end of the year. AJ Brown's targets

2010
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:43,679
Speaker 1: are down a little bit. Hurts maybe wasn't as good

2011
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: this year. I think that Sirianni was exposed to have

2012
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 1: not been the mastermind behind what had taken place. I

2013
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 1: believe that guy's now in Indianapolis, and I thought they

2014
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 1: made that mistake and I first guessed that one. It

2015
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a great year. And look, I'm in Nashville and

2016
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: I covered the Titans for years and including AJ Brown's

2017
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: entire run here and man, it started in a It

2018
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: started in one way and it deteriorated rapidly. It's a position.

2019
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: Wide receiver is a position that is just bright for

2020
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of the diva aspect because you were on an

2021
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: island as a career. It's you against a cornerback, and

2022
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 1: everybody's eyeballs immediately go to you when the ball is

2023
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: in the air, when they know where it's headed, they're

2024
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 1: following you, and it's going to be you against that

2025
01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:33,679
Speaker 1: guy and who wins it. And there's a lot of joeing,

2026
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of trash tighting, there's a lot of

2027
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 1: ego in those two and you never.

2028
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 2: Know what you're gonna get that next great quarterback. You

2029
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 2: don't actually necessarily have that like Puka Nakua, who would

2030
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 2: have thought he turned into what he is right now?

2031
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,639
Speaker 2: When was he taking so you can get him out

2032
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 2: of the first round. You just have to go ahead

2033
01:40:48,479 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 2: and know what you're doing. I mean Look, everybody knows

2034
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 2: about Marvin Harrison and neighbors out of LSU, the kid

2035
01:40:54,320 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 2: out of Washington, Thomas out of LSU. I believe you

2036
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,639
Speaker 2: know what about like Worthy out of Texas or something

2037
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 2: to that effect. Then you're gonna go ahead and take

2038
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 2: a chance and see where you can strike gold like

2039
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 2: some of the other teams have.

2040
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:15,559
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the Bills Before we get

2041
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: to the Texans side of it, Now, the Texans are

2042
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 1: going to let Diggs become a free agent after one year,

2043
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: So this is it's not a mercenary deal because they're

2044
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: not picking them up during the year. They want to

2045
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:27,839
Speaker 1: see what he can do and they want to see

2046
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: how he's going to mesh with the locker room, but

2047
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: they're not going to commit long term to it. And

2048
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 1: I think that's probably smart. If he goes out there

2049
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: and balls out. Which remember when he came into Buffalo,

2050
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 1: there was the knock coming from Minnesota that he kind

2051
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: of had this tendency there, and so they move on

2052
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 1: from him, and then he starts playing great for the Bills,

2053
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: racking up all these yards and everything seems great with

2054
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 1: him and Josh Allen and people are burying the Vikings,

2055
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 1: and now Vikings fans are starting to step back into

2056
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,160
Speaker 1: comment sections and say, this is what we were trying

2057
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 1: to tell you. So what do you think about the

2058
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,719
Speaker 1: Bills right now? They wasn't a team I loved because

2059
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,559
Speaker 1: they kept their head coach. Yeah, they don't scare me

2060
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 1: at all.

2061
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 2: They have no big weapons that I'm worried about, like

2062
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 2: James Cook and running back. They lost Abe Davis at

2063
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 2: the wide receiver position. They really have no really number

2064
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 2: one wide receiver that I'm worried about locking on down.

2065
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 2: They have a good defense, but nothing great that I'm

2066
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 2: so worried about. So they could be the third best

2067
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 2: team in that division behind the Miami Dolphins and the

2068
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,679
Speaker 2: New York Jets if the Jets do come alive. Otherwise

2069
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,599
Speaker 2: they're probably a second place teams. The Patriots are definitely

2070
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 2: the worst team in the division.

2071
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I definitely agree with that. I mean, it

2072
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: felt like it was already starting to go in the

2073
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:55,680
Speaker 1: wrong direction for the Bills right whatever, whatever their timing was,

2074
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:59,679
Speaker 1: it seemed to maybe have expired. And you know, last

2075
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:02,759
Speaker 1: year there was an opportunity to maybe get the Chiefs

2076
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 1: because we thought maybe the Chiefs were more vulnerable. They

2077
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: had shown it during the regular season, and by the

2078
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 1: end of the year we are still saying the same

2079
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 1: thing about them that we should have been saying all along.

2080
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,640
Speaker 1: But if you couldn't get them last year, then how

2081
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 1: are you gonna do it now? And you look at

2082
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: how some of these other teams have built. The Bills

2083
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 1: are going to have a struggle. They're gonna have a

2084
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,160
Speaker 1: challenge and they need a really good draft. Now to

2085
01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: the Texans side of this, and then we'll get to

2086
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: the Seger. I like this in the short term because again,

2087
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 1: you give CJ. Stroud a big time weapon, and you

2088
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 1: do it on a very very short deal. It's a year,

2089
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 1: and then we'll see after that. Let him become a

2090
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 1: free agent. If he's happy, he'll re sign potentially and

2091
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: you'll want him back and all this and if it

2092
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, then it may have still been worth

2093
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 1: the risk, because right now you've got to surround c J.

2094
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: Stroud with everything you can to win while he's cheap.

2095
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 2: And they've done that. They've added number one running back

2096
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 2: in Joe Mixon. I believe, oh yes, that was a

2097
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,000
Speaker 2: good pick up. Stefan thinks is going to be now

2098
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 2: they're number one wide receiver. They had Nico Collins. They

2099
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 2: even not Damian Pierce, who I thought was a pretty

2100
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 2: good running back, and it's certainly gonna be great to

2101
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 2: take over and help out Joe Mixon in that situation.

2102
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,600
Speaker 2: So offensively, the shoulds are tight end, They're gonna be fine. Offensively,

2103
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,880
Speaker 2: They're gonna be more than fine. They're gonna be great,

2104
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 2: good offensive line. Defensively, though, if they could take a

2105
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 2: step up, then this team will compete.

2106
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:28,280
Speaker 1: To go to a super Bowl. They'll be right up

2107
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: there because they're they're looking good offensively, yeah, they are,

2108
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: and you look at the division they're in. I think

2109
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe the Titans are a little bit better off with

2110
01:44:37,080 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 1: some of the things that they've done in the offseason.

2111
01:44:40,600 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 1: The Jags are a team I expect to continue to

2112
01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd say deterior.

2113
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 2: Trever Warts is not put up big numbers like I

2114
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 2: thought he was. As matter of fact, his numbers are

2115
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,439
Speaker 2: like equivalent to Daniel Jones when it's all said and

2116
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:54,599
Speaker 2: done after all these years.

2117
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think that I still think he

2118
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 1: is pretty good, but I think his ceiling is low

2119
01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 1: than we thought. And I think that maybe maybe that

2120
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 1: sewing dropped a bit because urban Meyer destroyed him in

2121
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: your one, and maybe maybe he's never fully returned from

2122
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: that good I think our expectations need to be more

2123
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 1: measured as it relates to the Jags being anything more

2124
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 1: than kind of an average team that could surprise surprise

2125
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: you on any given week, but could also disappoint you. Colts.

2126
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 1: I think the Colts overperformed. It's just going to depend

2127
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:31,800
Speaker 1: on whether or not Anthony Richardson can stay healthy and

2128
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:33,919
Speaker 1: continue to grow and flourish.

2129
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 2: How good is that kid really gonna be anokie year?

2130
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:39,760
Speaker 2: If I mean somewhat good year until he got hurt,

2131
01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 2: So let's see if he does take that next step exactly.

2132
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 1: So the division, I mean, it feels like it's the

2133
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: Texans to lose, especially now, and they're taking swings like

2134
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 1: they believe this is their opportunity. Absolutely, that's exactly right.

2135
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, I I kind of like this for

2136
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: both teams. I understand why you do this if you're Houston,

2137
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: and it sounds like the Bills were going to find

2138
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 1: a way to do this one way or the other.

2139
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: So I think it works out. So let's go to

2140
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:13,759
Speaker 1: dis Sega one more time. Let's catch up on the latest,

2141
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's find out what is happening, and maybe take a

2142
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: couple more swipes at Arni along the way. Oh, we're

2143
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 1: all for that. Wow.

2144
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 3: By the way, to use a phrase from Jason Smith

2145
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 3: on the Weeknight, so what you're saying in that division,

2146
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:27,639
Speaker 3: the Jags are just a bunch of jags.

2147
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: Wow, that's just a guy.

2148
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:32,479
Speaker 3: In other words, we got a lot of hoops to

2149
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 3: get to. But programming notes, NASCAR's on FS one tomorrow

2234
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars.

2235
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna say after we got this one hundred

2236
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: and twenty five.

2237
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:22,640
Speaker 3: Million dollars, so apparently they finally reached an agreement on

2238
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:25,719
Speaker 3: that whole thing. The Pirates are seven and two after

2239
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 3: an eleven inning win against Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Texas, with

2240

Speaker 1: do you feel about Iowa's out?

2246
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 3: I think the height that keeps coming at you from

2247
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 3: South Carolina I have. It's not that Iowa can't win.

2248
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 3: I just would be a little surprised seeing.

2249
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 1: It tomorrow and then Monday.

2250
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 3: I don't see anyone being yukon. This has been for

2251
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:00,720
Speaker 3: two three months. Such a great team. I really mean

2252
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 3: that team and.

2253
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 1: The prediction leave the predictions for US experts.

2254
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 3: They also have a what seven to two centers, so

2255
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 3: he's going to get a battle.

2256
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree with you. So we'll pick in

2257
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,600
Speaker 1: the final the final segment. But I wanted to I

2258
01:52:16,680 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 1: wanted to hear from one expert. We're going to hear

2259
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 1: from me. I'm an expert. In other words, he.

2260
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 3: Has heard your picks. Wow, you go elsewhere?

2261
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: Have your week? Oh my goodness. So the Strasburg thing, Yeah,

2262
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 1: he's retiring at thirty five twenty five million dollar contract

2263
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: decided in twenty nineteen. That just never worked. Ever, it

2264
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:44,599
Speaker 1: never turned out to be. And I remember how careful

2265
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: they tried to be with him at the start of

2266
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 1: his career. We got to stop doing that. Remember how

2267
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 1: the same thing happened with Zion Williamson. Yeah, yeah, they

2268
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 1: just overprotected him at the beginning and then never ended

2269
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:58,840
Speaker 1: up getting what they could have gotten all that money

2270
01:52:58,880 --> 01:53:00,680
Speaker 1: even though he retired to the just spread it out

2271
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:03,840
Speaker 1: over one hundred years or what exactly happens is this

2272
01:53:04,040 --> 01:53:06,559
Speaker 1: Bonia two point zero? It has to be. I mean,

2273
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take anything less. That's what you offered me.

2274
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:10,559
Speaker 1: That's what I got. I got hurt.

2275
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 2: But you know I'm not taking a petty lest so

2276
01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 2: better figure out a way to give me my whole

2277
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:17,639
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five mili real quick.

2278
01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: Since we're talking pictures, MLBPA has come out and said

2279
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:22,800
Speaker 1: the pitch clock is why we're seeing Strider and these

2280
01:53:22,840 --> 01:53:24,679
Speaker 1: guys go down. We've seen a lot of bit we say,

2281
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 1: we saw the ace for the Guardians go down for

2282
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: the year. He's gonna have to have tell me, John Surgery.

2283
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: I think that story came out late Friday night. You

2284
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,920
Speaker 1: think there's anything to that, I don't think. So why

2285
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:37,560
Speaker 1: you say it at the pitch clock because.

2286
01:53:37,280 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 2: They make a pitch too fast in a fifteen second

2287
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 2: pitch count out there.

2288
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't they're trying fourth too fast. I don't think.

2289
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I don't buy it. I

2290
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 1: think it's interesting that they're they're they're going there though,

2291
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 1: and they're pitching a lot less too.

2292
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine starting pitchers really only go on the average,

2293
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:58,559
Speaker 2: what four or five innings. I will see what the

2294
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 2: winner of the innings pitch this year is. But it's

2295
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,599
Speaker 2: gone down and down every year, so they don't go

2296
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 2: the eight or nine innings like they used to.

2297
01:54:07,080 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I tend to agree with you on that,

2298
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,519
Speaker 1: all right, So when we come back, we are indeed

2299
01:54:12,240 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 1: going to pick the women's championship game and then the

2300
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:20,559
Speaker 1: men's championship game. I'm gonna ask Arnie Spaniard blindly whether

2301
01:54:20,680 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 1: Cody Rhoads is going to finish the story against Roman

2302
01:54:23,479 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: Reigns on WrestleMania Sunday, and he's going to answer with

2303
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:30,240
Speaker 1: no knowledge of anything that I'm talking about. That's going

2304
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 1: to be fantastic. That and a lot more stick around

2305
01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:34,960
Speaker 1: will finish up the program next year on Fox Sports Radio.

2306
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back, final segment of our program. Here Jason Martin

2307
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: with Arnie Spanier Aaron Torres covering the Final Four. He'll

2308
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:47,800
Speaker 1: be back with me next week. He won't be covering

2309
01:54:47,840 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: the Masters, but the Masters will be happening. That's right.

2310
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: So we'll be able to tell the draft and yeah,

2311
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 1: that's right, and then the draft and then the cycle

2312
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:02,640
Speaker 1: begins all over again. All right, Arnie, we have come

2313
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 1: to that place where we can talk about these games

2314
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:08,800
Speaker 1: and we can predict these games. So let's look at

2315
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 1: iowin South Carolina. First. That's going to be this afternoon.

2316
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 1: They're doing their national title game at three PM. I

2317
01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 1: don't know how many times they've done it, impron Tom.

2318
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 1: It does seem odd to me they're doing it that early,

2319
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 1: but they should have a pretty massive audience for what

2320
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, A lot of people are going to tune

2321
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:28,879
Speaker 1: in for the Caitlin Clark of it all, But Desager

2322
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:31,080
Speaker 1: said before the break, when I asked him, he said,

2323
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:36,240
Speaker 1: South Carolina size South Carolina all the way, Iowa could win.

2324
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: But that's kind of where I am, Arnie, and then

2325
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you. I think that South Carolina

2326
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:43,880
Speaker 1: is like a six point favorite somewhere in that neighborhood.

2327
01:55:44,440 --> 01:55:45,880
Speaker 1: Clark's gonna have to have a game of her life,

2328
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 1: and I just even if she does, I still don't

2329
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:53,600
Speaker 1: know if that's enough to beat this undefeated South Carolina team.

2330
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: I understand that you could say it's written in the stars,

2331
01:55:56,080 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 1: because you know, sports often turns into storybooks and all

2332
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, but also there's more opportunities for

2333
01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:06,320
Speaker 1: storybook endings not to happen. And I just tend to think,

2334
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 1: even if Caitlin Clark is inteed the best women's basketball

2335
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 1: player we've ever seen, I don't know that that's enough

2336
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: to beat this South Carolina team. So I expect the

2337
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 1: game gos to win.

2338
01:56:15,880 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 2: No, it's a great South Carolina team, That's why they're undefeated.

2339
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you they're not.

2340
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:24,960
Speaker 2: Cardoza really inside is so tough to stop. She shot

2341
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:26,920
Speaker 2: great last game I think she was ten to twelve,

2342
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 2: so she certainly was a presence inside. And they're more

2343
01:56:29,920 --> 01:56:32,120
Speaker 2: than just her. It's a very good team. You can

2344
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: get about four or five of the girls that can

2345
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 2: score in double figures out there.

2346
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 1: That being said, you know, I'm pulling for Iowa.

2347
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:42,720
Speaker 2: I'm hoping Caitlin Clark and she's a little tired out there,

2348
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 2: goes off maybe for thirty five or forty. Maybe will's

2349
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,520
Speaker 2: Iowa to a victory. I have a seventy two seventy

2350
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 2: Iowa with the victory over South Carolina and South Carolina's

2351
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 2: undefeated season. I think we're gonna get a great game

2352
01:56:56,840 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come down to the wires. So I'm

2353
01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 2: gonna go with Iowa by two. Oh and Caitlin Clark

2354
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 2: going off in that game?

2355
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, are you betting on that game?

2356
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 2: If I did, I was obviously taking Iowa plus the

2357
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:09,839
Speaker 2: six to that points.

2358
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I didn't know if you had action or not.

2359
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,920
Speaker 1: That's no, not yet, not yet. Well, you've still got time. Oh,

2360
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 1: plenty of time, all right? And then Monday night Yukon

2361
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 1: Purdue Heavyweight Fight. Yukon really hasn't been challenged much Alabama

2362
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:27,440
Speaker 1: gave him a decent twenty five thirty minutes and then

2363
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 1: the Cream rose to the top. So you've got Yukon,

2364
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 1: who hasn't lost in a long time. I think Creighton

2365
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 1: was the last time that they lost. They're dominating everybody

2366
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 1: they've played. Purdue has has ended up with good point

2367
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: differentials over most of their opponents. They had a real

2368
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 1: tough battle against Tennessee. But all things considered, as we

2369
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 1: get into this moment, are we looking at Yukon winning

2370
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,800
Speaker 1: their second in a row in your opinion, Arnie, or

2371
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 1: is Purdue gonna spoil the party? No, Purdue's not going

2372
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 1: to spoil the party.

2373
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm having a tough time trying to figure out the

2374
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 2: score because I think if the I think the game

2375
01:58:00,640 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 2: is gonna be close, and if it's going to be closed,

2376
01:58:02,680 --> 01:58:05,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a little bit less scoring because I

2377
01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 2: think Purdue will take a little bit of the clock

2378
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 2: out of the game. With that being said, I still

2379
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:15,960
Speaker 2: think it's gonna have like Yukon seventy seven, seventy four

2380
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 2: over Purdue right in that range. I mean, u Kon

2381
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,880
Speaker 2: had eighty six today, so obviously they can ramp it up.

2382
01:58:21,920 --> 01:58:23,920
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. But Purdue will take a

2383
01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 2: little bit out run their offense, get it into Zach Edy,

2384
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:29,520
Speaker 2: work the ball around a little bit. They might not

2385
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 2: get shots off immediately in the shot clock. Well see

2386
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:35,040
Speaker 2: how they do on the three point shot. They'll live

2387
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 2: and die by that three pointer, depending if they stop

2388
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 2: Zach Edy inside. So I got Yukon winning by three,

2389
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 2: like seventy seven, seventy four.

2390
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: If Yukon were to get beat is it a failure

2391
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:49,880
Speaker 1: of a season? Yes it is. I mean it was

2392
01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:51,839
Speaker 1: a great run, but you got to win a championship,

2393
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:57,120
Speaker 1: win your Yukon. If you're Purdue, is it a success already? Yeah?

2394
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 2: After you're losing the fairly Dickinson in the first round

2395
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:01,800
Speaker 2: last year, I would think get this far is a

2396
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 2: success right now, no doubt.

2397
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I just wanted to know if that's If that's

2398
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 1: where you were, I agree with you. I think Yukon wins.

2399
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:10,640
Speaker 1: I think South Carolina wins. You think Iowa wins in

2400
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 1: the women's game. I hope that they're both good. I

2401
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 1: hope we all enjoy them. Is Cody Road is gonna

2402
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 1: beat Roman Reigns for the championship? I go with the

2403
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 1: iron cheek no ri ip Bertie Frado is coming up

2404
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: next to have all the numbers for you. Stick around.

2405
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:27,800
Speaker 1: We've had fun. It's always fun with you, aren't you?

2406
01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 1: See you next week here on Fox Sports Radio
