78
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: oh what a magical night it was. We're gonna start

79
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: with the college basketball and now I I was watching

80
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: baseball all day, but I want to start with the

81
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: college basketball.

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: We have moved on.

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: After a three day hiatus, the twenty twenty six men's

84
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: basketball tournament has resumed, and our lead this hour from

85
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. As is per normal, we had double

86
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: barrel action. Double barrel action is a four games games

87
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: going on, well one at a time or two at

88
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: a time, so four total games two slots into the

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Elite eight. Of course, as of right now, at this hour,

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: we're at see We've got still four more games tomorrow,

91
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: so we're at like ten teams, but eventually we'll get

92
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: down to the Elite eight, and then by the end

93
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: of the weekend we'll have the final four all score away.

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you watched any of this

95
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: or not. The ratings are good.

96
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I was told by one of my TV friends they

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: changed the ratings so that all the numbers are inflated

98
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: to make it seem like there's more people watching. So

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: of course that person's very cynical. We're going to start

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: in the West. We're going to start in the West

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: as the number one seed Arizona trying to move on

102
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: and advance to the Elite eight, taking on number four Arkansas.

103
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: And I had circled this game. I gave out some

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: terrible advice on this game. I was optimistic. I was

105
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Benny Brightside on this game. It was a dud.

106
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: It was an absolute dud.

107
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: Arizona finally got over the hurdle for Tommy Lloyd, their coach.

108
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: One of the arguments, well, they've had good players at

109
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: Arizona and they just can't can't get past that speed

110
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: bump the Sweet sixteen. Well they have now and they

111
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: did it with Gusto, the Wildcats of Tommy Lloyd getting

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty three points from Bradenbury's and a dominant I mean,

113
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: they were Arkansas. I don't know if they attempted to

114
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: play defense, it didn't look like it. One oh nine

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: to eighty eight. That's an NBA style score as they spanked.

116
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: They being Arizona spanking Arkansas and advancing to the Elite

117
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: eight there, and that's a good jumping off point. So

118
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: this is to me, this is the game. I know

119
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't. The Purdue game was the game that came

120
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: down to the very end and all that, and then

121
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: there was also drama in Iowa and Nebraska and for

122
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: this was not This was not drama. But to me,

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: this was the story. So let's discuss the question. You

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: make the call tell me the better story. What is

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: the better story? Here is the better story Arizona's absolute domination,

126
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: This was a domination situation, or Arkansas and their coach

127
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: John Calipari getting absolutely.

128
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: Embarrassed, embarrassed in this game.

129
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got the red Sea,

130
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: Johnny cochrane and bird dogging, and we will combine all

131
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to pull

132
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the one armed bandit. The biggest moneymaker in Vegas the

133
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: slot machine, the penny slot machine. They make more money

134
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: on the penny slot machine than anything else. It's all

135
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: about the penny slot machine.

136
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: So a.

137
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: You know how I'm wired here.

138
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: If you listen to this show even once in a while,

139
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: you know how I'm wild wired. This is not about

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team being great. They were

141
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: a top seed for a reason, So stop with that.

142
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it. That to me

143
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: is surface level garbage. And if you think that's the

144
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: better story, you should never host a sports radio show.

145
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Bad job by you. The story here is John Calipari

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: getting absolutely pants on national television. That's the drama, a rama.

147
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: The man Calipari is a maestro at recruiting. He looks good,

148
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: dresses well. And then this seems to happen quite a bit.

149
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: And you know how we do things. If it bleeds,

150
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: it leads, And there was a red sea on the court.

151
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: As to the things we're unraveling for Arkansas, it's all

152
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: about the Hogs. Everyone can continue to drool over Arizona

153
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: like they just discovered fire out there in Tucson, and

154
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: good for them. They played very well, they advanced. That's

155
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: not good talk radio. So from a talk radio standpoint, whooptee,

156
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: damn do. The story is all the excitement that John

157
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Calipari brought to Arkansas, the amount of money that was

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: invested in this and that result. Defensively was a crime scene.

159
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: It looked like the varsity scrimmaging the freshman. Okay, this

160
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: doesn't I don't know how to describe. It was like traffic.

161
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't even Mattador defense. It was traffic Cone defense.

162
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: And if it seems like that's a pretty bad day

163
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: for John Calipari losing by twenty one points, that's not

164
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: a loss.

165
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: That was a public execution.

166
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: In fact, that's the worst loss we are told in

167
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: the history of Calipari in the tournament. Now, he's had

168
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: some doozies, some real great losses elsewhere in the regular season,

169
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: but in terms of the tournament, this is the one.

170
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: And so here's the other part of it. As we

171
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: continue our in depth team coverage all night. The other

172
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: part of it is, it's not necessarily new.

173
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: It's not new.

174
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: In fact, in many ways, it's a rerun. John Calipari

175
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: has been running a basketball clearing house going back to Kentucky.

176
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Any obviously had some success at Kentucky. Occasionally they were

177
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: going to be a big run. But you look at

178
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: it overall and it's the same formula. Get the blue

179
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: chip player, the top freshman, great highlights. You're selling the

180
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: dream of the NBA. You're not selling the banners and

181
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: all that, and it's getting your feet underneath you. And

182
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: that'll be the counter larrighty as well. You know, it's

183
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: John caliber. It takes time. But the way Calipari coaches,

184
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and really the modern landscape of college basketball, I think

185
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: we can all agree, even though most of us only

186
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: really pay attention when the tournament begins. The way this works,

187
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: the way all of this works, is it's a year

188
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: to year proposition. Everyone's a free and you cut checks

189
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: and you've got to pick the right players. And if

190
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: you pick the right players, you're in good shape. Everything's

191
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: great to go and all that. And mentioned this being

192
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: a rerun, and we've seen this a lot, and this

193
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: Arkansas basketball, much like many others, but caval Par has

194
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: just done it longer.

195
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: It's like a drive through.

196
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: You order a bag of talent, and then you get

197
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: the bag of talent, and then you get bounced, you know,

198
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: not that.

199
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: Far into the tournament.

200
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: And so that's where we are now turning the page

201
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: on that I have noticed.

202
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've noticed noticed this.

203
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: Many of the media people are very upset with this

204
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: tournament because the thing that has always been here.

205
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: And I say always last year we had all chalk.

206
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: But for the vast majority of.

207
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: March madness, the thing that has consistently consistently been there

208
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: has been that I can't believe that team made it

209
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: this far, you know what's going on. So I bring

210
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: that up because Iowa in a interesting game with We'll

211
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: talk more about this as we go through the overnight.

212
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: Iowa getting the win over what had been the upstart

213
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Nebraska that game played in Houston, thanks to a late

214
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: ferocious effort there. And so the Hawkeys get the dramatic

215
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: win one by six, seventy seven to seventy one, and

216
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: because of that, coach Ben McCollum as a result, getting

217
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: a lot of praise.

218
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna frame it this way.

219
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Here's the question, do the Iowa hawkas to the Iowa

220
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: Hawke guys of coach Ben McCollum, do they count as

221
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: a Cinderella here in the twenty twenty sixth edition of

222
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. And the answer, I have

223
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: two words for this, Hell no. So enough of the

224
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: media dopes. And they're just lazy. They're trying to microwave,

225
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: not air fry, because air fry takes a little longer.

226
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to microwave a narrative that just does not exist.

227
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: They're desperately they're so used to having this boilerplate story

228
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: where you just fill in the names of the players

229
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: and the coach and the school and send it out

230
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: and it takes up algorithm and it ends up in

231
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: the algorithm, takes up gigabytes all that stuff. So they're

232
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: trying to do a just add water story to the

233
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: Iowa Hawk guys. They want Iowa to fill that cinderell

234
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: avoid and it just doesn't work. It just did taste

235
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: like cardboard. It's not a good meal now for Iowa.

236
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: If I was in a Hawkeye fan and a lot

237
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: and we have a bunch of people in Iowa. They

238
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: are a big Hawkeye fans that are listening to the show.

239
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: And some of you guys have sent me. I have

240
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: a Hawkeye hat because of you guys. You hooked me up,

241
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: so thank you for that. That's more valuable now because

242
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I was advanced in the tournament. So I'm not spitting

243
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Loogi's at their coach. All bends have to support other

244
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: guys named Ben. It's not a common name. There's not

245
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people named Ben. So we have people

246
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: named Ben. It's like the Brotherhood of Ben. And we

247
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: got to support Ben and we do. And the Hawkeyes

248
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: are here and they could go to the Final four

249
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: and all that wonderful stop in terms of Cinderella. And

250
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: here's why last I checked. And maybe I'm wrong on this,

251
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just do the Overnight show. Iowa

252
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: is a Big ten school, which means they have resources,

253
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: they have nice planes, they have nice facilities. Now, are

254
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: they a basketball school? No, they're a wrestling school. Is

255
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: that fair to say? I don't think of Iowa not

256
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: really a football school unless you like games that are

257
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: like fourteen thirteen or something like that. To me, you

258
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: cannot be an upstart when you're cash rich and you're

259
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: backed by a power conference. Am I wrong on that?

260
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: I look at this like the old square peg in

261
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: a in a round hole situation. You're trying to put

262
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: the square peg into the round hole. And any of

263
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: these basketball scribed bloggers whatever you want to call them

264
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: these days, I don't know.

265
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: We call them writers.

266
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: They're just kind of bloggers and clickbait artists and all that.

267
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to hit this thing with a mallet and

268
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, it's a square peg and then

269
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: the holes round and all that stuff. And as the

270
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Great Johnny Cochrane, the late great Johnny Cochrane taught me

271
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: as a child. He said, and I was paying attention

272
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: if you were. If it don't fit, you must have quit.

273
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: So it does. I would just not fit as a Cinderella.

274
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: You cannot you cannot convince me that that's the case.

275
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: This is and I don't know if it's gonna be

276
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: the regular. It's a small sample size. It is a

277
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Cinderella less tournament.

278
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: Just deal with it. Just deal with it.

279
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: You have a mix of some blue bloods and some

280
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: mid level. They're not Cinderella. They're kind of like middling

281
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: middle management type people. To call a Big ten team

282
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: a Cinderella is an in salt to glass slippers everywhere,

283
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: it's both lazy and fraudulent at the same time. So

284
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: that's that. We'll talk about some of the other games

285
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: as we go through. I did want to mention something

286
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: from the coaching carousel. Did North Carolina hire a coach? No?

287
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: Boston College did?

288
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: No. I don't normally talk about Boston College because they're

289
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: Boston College. Why would you. I found this interesting enough

290
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: to bring up here and.

291
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: To chat with you about.

292
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: It rises to high crimes and misdemeanors here as Boston College.

293
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: We were told hired or is in the process of

294
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: finalizing a deal with Yukon assistant coach Luke Murray as

295
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: their next head coach.

296
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: And he said, well, is that the guy?

297
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: Is that the guy they showed on TV because of

298
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: his daddy?

299
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is the.

300
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: Spawn of a man who is part of some of

301
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: the greatest cinema back before Hollywood went terrible, back when

302
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: they actually used to make good movies and original movies,

303
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: and many many years ago these movies are still cult favorites.

304
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: Bill Murray, that's his kid Ghostbusters and all the rest

305
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: back in the day. And so now we'll see Bill

306
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: Murray at Boston College games with the question, what are

307
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: your expectations, if any, for Bill Murray's son, Luke Murray

308
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: as he gets his first big time head coaching job.

309
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: I say loosely big time because Boston College is certainly

310
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: not a basketball school, but they're not a football school either.

311
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: All right, So here's my thought. I'm gonna be Benny

312
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Bryce out on this. Could it be because I grew

313
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: up on Bill Murray movies? Possibly? Possibly, I'm gonna give

314
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: this guy credit. And here's why this guy did not

315
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: just ride the coattails of his father's fame. I don't

316
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: believe that. I looked at his resume. The guys spent

317
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: nearly twenty years in the trenches and bounced all over

318
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: the place. He's been bird dogging, bird dogging Dan Hurley, the.

319
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: Yukon head coach.

320
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: Mensa crazy person, lunatic what every want to call him,

321
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: and he's been the right hand man for Dan Hurley

322
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one credited.

323
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how much of this is true or not.

324
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: As the architect of their euro style offense and of

325
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: course won a couple of championships Yukon did in twenty

326
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: three and twenty four, and he paid his dues.

327
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: You look, he bounced around.

328
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: He's been at a number of schools we're talking about

329
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: Luke Murray, including Quinnipac. Now, when you're at Quinnepac, that

330
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: means you're at the very bottom. And he's been in

331
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of other smaller schools and he's got a

332
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of ties to the Northeast, and so he's seen

333
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, and the ugly of college basketball

334
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: recruiting and all that. And the main reason that you

335
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: should be somewhat optimistic here is because there are no expectations.

336
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: There are no expectations. BC has become the spam of

337
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: the ACC. They are just calling it is. Here's no

338
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: need to sugarcoat anything, and it's kind of fill a

339
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: slot on the schedule. Very rarely are they competitive the

340
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: monster conference era that we're in right now, or these

341
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: conferences are mega mega mega What is the ACC like

342
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: eighteen teams or something like that. Like for some reason

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: they put Stanford and cal in there. That makes sense,

344
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: but they're in there. And so Boston College has finished

345
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: near the bottom since they expanded the ACC and for

346
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: them the bars if you reach the ACC tournament, I

347
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: believe I'm correct on this that that's considered a success.

348
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: So for for.

349
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: Murray, for Luke Murray going in there, the floor is

350
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: so low that even a five hundred conference record would

351
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: make it seem like you've done a good job. Now,

352
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the biggest total always is going to be the checkbook.

353
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: BC has historically struggled with nil that name, image and likeness,

354
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: the support.

355
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: They can't They just.

356
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: Haven't been able to get the amount of revenue going

357
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: as the blue bloods and understandable. So it's going to

358
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: take and I don't know, the most powerful, like the

359
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: richest alumni.

360
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: I'm not that familiar with Boston College alumni.

361
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure every university that's been around for a while

362
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: has a couple people that have been really, really wealthy,

363
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: successful and all that. So one of those people like

364
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: kind of like Mark Cuban bankrolled Indiana football. If the

365
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: deep pocket boosters are there, you can buy the roster,

366
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: you can get the top offense and all that, and

367
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: you got a guy that's been billed as this great

368
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: offensive coach. We'll see if that's true or not, but

369
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: it's the pay to play landscape, which is often the

370
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: great equalizer and can lift you up as well. It

371
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to

372
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,000

379
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: and understanding things and doing a lot. They kind of

380
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: expanding your mind. Some people would disagree with that. Well,

381
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: there was there was a math problem. I don't know

382

383

Speaker 1: problem in the NCAA tournament. We will try to figure

501
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: are in and what level of sport they are. I'm

502
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: gonna say there is a thirty percent chance that he

503
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: will get this right, Lorena, I think he has an

504
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: eighty percent chance. Okay, Coop, what percentage chance a team

505
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: called the Golden Knights?

506
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: What sport that is? What league? What you know? What level?

507
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: What are the.

508
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: Chances Anthony gets this right, I'm gonna go sixty percent.

509
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: All right, Anthony reveal answers right now? Is hockey? No? Okay?

510
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,200

511
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: Oh? Look at this guy, nailed it? You never your

513
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: Look at you, Anthony? What a stud you are? All right?

514
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Now?

515
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: Can you name?

516
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Can you name one player on the Golden Knights right now?

517
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: Oh? I don't keep what with hockey?

518
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: So even if I give you one thousand dollars, you

519
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: would not be able to name one player on the

520
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Golden Knights. No, no, I neither would I.

521
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: Neither would I?

522
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

523
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's right. What do you say?

Speaker 3: Hey? Hey Lorena, Hi Anthony, you don't shabby.

538
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.

539
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: Oh she's your friend?

540
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Really?

541
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: Are you?

542
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: Are you on social media? You don't seem like you're

543
00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: on social media.

544
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: To me, well you till I say.

545
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: Hello, Okay, I'll let her know.

546
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: All right, all right, bye bye, there you go.

547
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: All right, we've just wished.

548
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: Ah, that's love, Lorraine, that's real love. That's a guy

549
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: that stays up all night and calls the show just

550
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: to say, hey, that's it because your cousins. You're not

551
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: kissing cousins because you've never met him. So that's not

552
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: how that goes. There's no none of that going on

553
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: there at all. But hey, you want to go to Louisiana,

554
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: He'll take you like outback or something, right or yeah,

555
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: well they have that on the menu. Absolutely have that

556
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: on the menu. Let's see who is next here? Oh,

557
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: let me let me pay this off. So the math problem,

558
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: the math problem in the NCAA tournament. I was gonna

559
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: mention this in the beginning, and I say, I'll save

560
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: this because I think it's Uh. It would have been

561
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: a gigantic deal if it had been a couple of

562
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: different teams and it had been in the final four

563
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: and the championship game, it would have been something that

564
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: would have been talked about for years and years and

565
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: years and years. Somehow, though we're not sure how this happened.

566
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: But somehow Nebraska. If you're watching the game, you know

567
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about to say here, So the corn

568
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: Huskers they in a key moment lad in the game

569
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: they lost by six to Iowa in the sweet sixteen.

570
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: They had four players on the floor, Loraina, how many

571
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: players are they supposed to have on the Florida at

572
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: one time? Uhm's laughing, Coop distracted me. I think they're

573
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: supposed to have six. Okay, well, you're qualified to play

574
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. They No, you're supposed to have five. Five

575
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: is the number they had four? Four is not enough

576
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: players on the court.

577
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: And name any of the positions? Great, great question, Coop.

578
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Lorraine, right now.

579
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Just for the record, before you begin, oh my god,

580
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: what are you doing? The family sham my kids listening

581
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: to show? Lorena? None, no kids listening? All right, calm down,

582
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: all right, my goodness. Of the positions this is I

583
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: want you to know. This is the most successful sports

584
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: radio network in America. You are listening to Fox Sports Radio.

585
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: We are number one. This show is on like six

586
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: hundred radio stations right now, from coast to coast. We

587
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: have an international audience. And Lorena named one position on

588
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: the best anyway, all right, who cares so Fred Hoiberg,

589
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: that's a coach. And anyway, he said, I I've never

590
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: been in a situation like that. When asked what happened,

591
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: he said, I know they always count to make sure

592
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: there's not six. I don't know the rule on that.

593
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: With four. Again, it was a miscommunication on Unfortunately it happened.

594
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Now I think I'm right on this. Maybe some amateur

595
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: referee can call me up and correct me if I'm wrong,

596
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: And there's nothing the consumer of sports radio loves more

597
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: than correcting the blowhard on the radio. My understanding is

598
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: you are allowed to play with fewer players.

599
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: You're not allowed like in football, you could play with ten.

600
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: If you have twelve, it's a problem, right, If you

601
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: have twelve, it's a problem. That's an issue. And I

602
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the call would be if you only

603
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: have four in basketball, and I don't know college rules. Obviously,

604
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: everything's different depending on the sport and all that. I

605
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: think you are technically allowed, though, to play with fewer players.

606
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: They'll call a penalty if you have more, but if

607
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: you have fewer, not so much so.

608
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: Anyway, Nebraska season is dun skis and with twenty eight

609
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: and seven their first tournament win.

610
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: In school history.

611
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they won in the first round and then follow

612
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: that up with I think it beat Troy, I think,

613
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: and then they followed that up with a win of

614
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: ver Vanderbilt, and then they are now eliminated. Had a

615
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: chance to get to the Elite eight. They do not

616
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: cross the rubicon and get into the Elite eight eight seven,

617
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine

618
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: six six three sixt nine. Steve writes, and he says, Ben,

619
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: the aura of Caitlin Clark has propelled Iowa men's basketball

620
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: into the Elita. Are we gonna give Caitlin Clark credit

621
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: for this? Really?

622
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: Is that what we're doing? Now?

623
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:44,400

687
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: now though, for the who Am I? Game? And this

688
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: is where I pretend to be somebody else.

689
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: You gotta figure out who I am.

690
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh's Paul Skiingan got absolutely lit up. He became

691
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: just the eighth starting pitcher in the last one hundred

692
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: and twenty years to allow five or more runs in

693
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: less than an inning in a opening day start. I

694
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: was the last pitcher, last starting pitcher to get bombed,

695
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: similar to Paul Skeens, the phenom of Pittsburgh, who just

696
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: got toasted and defensively was a disaster as well for

697
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: the Buckos.

698
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: They cannot hang Jolly Roger on that.

699
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh's Paul Skins became the eighth starting pitcher since

700
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: at least nineteen oh six to allow five or more

701
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: runs in less than an inning in the first start,

702
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: obviously opening Day, and I was the last pitcher like

703
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: that to get bombed, similar to Paul Skeins. Who am I?

704
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: That is the question? What is the answer. We'll get
