1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,920

Speaker 2: us out.

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: And Arnie has already filled out his bracket.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 3: Yes, every year it's done this early. You know that.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: Come on, but why why why don't you take some

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: time to dig into it a little bit? Maybe look

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: at the matchups, look at a couple of analytics, maybe

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: some numbers or anything. You just you just go straight gut.

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: You don't slow down or pause at all, do you?

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: This is why I'm usually winning the contest, right because

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,639
Speaker 3: I just go right at it.

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Come on, now, congratulations, how'd you do last year?

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: I probably didn't do very well. I don't know, I

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: didn't it just like the first time in like a decade.

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm not picking Arizona to win the whole thing. What yeah,

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: I didn't pick Arizona to win the whole thing.

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: I picked him to go all the way. Oh stop,

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: what's going on here? I have him going to the Nasha.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: What's going on here? You should feel pretty good, though,

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that was a heck of a run in

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: that what do you call the Big twelve as.

23
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: The party conference conference that you're.

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: In right now? Pretty good run, right.

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, I'm I'm just right off the bat.

26
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm not feeling the madness. I don't know if you

27
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: saw my tweet a little bit earlier, but I'm not feeling.

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: For the first time in a long time, I'm not

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: feeling the madness. I I don't feel like there's going

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: to be a lot of upsets. Oh. Usually I'm you know,

31
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: I'm usually all over the sets, and I'm oh, this

32
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: one in the fifteen seed's gonna win here, and a

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: fourteen seeds gonna win there. And as a matter of fact,

34
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: I don't know who said it. Somebody said, does anybody

35
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: have a thirteen fourteen fifteen seed winning? And everybody said no, no, no, nobody,

36
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 3: nobody had them going. I just I don't see a

37
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: lot of upsets. I didn't. I wasn't digging a lot

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: of the matchups this year. And call me crazy, I'm

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: not even digging the where the first round sites are?

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: What see Seattle? My goodness, man? Can we keep it

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: in the United States? For crying out louder? Why do

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: we got to take it outside of you worth? You

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: know how hard it is to get the Seattle my goodness.

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: In Vermont did you live in Vermont.

45
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: I'm not asking I'm not asking you to put the

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: first round here in Vermont. We have one in Providence,

47
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 3: which is only like three four hours from me. They

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: got Saint John's there, they got Kansas there. People can

49
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: drive up from New York, they can come from Boston.

50
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: You put it in Seattle. Who's gonna go the people

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: from Montana? I mean, it's ridiculous. They did a bad

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: job this year. Just not feeling it, you know.

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I am a Can I try for three

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: hours to get you intrigued or fired up for this?

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: Or do you just want to tap out and talk

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: about the new deals for t Higgins and Jamar Chase.

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we're not gonna tap out. I will

58
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: tell you this though. I did dig the Greg Gumbel

59
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: tribute and you know, the the rolling stones and the

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: whole thing.

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: Now.

62
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw that, Chris, but.

63
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was right in the open of it.

64
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 3: It's really cool, man, really really good, very touching, well done.

65
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: I thought they did a great job with that, and

66
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: uh and you know, moving on. But I thought it

67
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: was a great tree of you that put me in

68
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: a good mood there that was cool.

69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: That was cool.

70
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I can't even interest you in like Bill

71
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: self versus John Calipari in the first round with Rick

72
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: Patino waiting in the second round potentially, Yes.

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean thing for you, it does. There's I mean,

74
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: there is obviously some matchups, but you know, and and

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: by the way, I was looking at the Lions, there's

76
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: not a lot of First of all, there's a couple

77
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: of the big lines, but not a lot of the

78
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty to twenty five.

79
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: They got lines out already.

80
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they've had about for a while. Yeah. I

81
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: was looking it up, trying to figure out.

82
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: So you did do some prep work for it? Come on, man, you.

83
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: Know, come on, by the way, you'd be surprised. And

84
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: some of the lines out there very shocking, where you

85
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: you think it's going to be a blowout and it's

86
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: a very close line or the other way around. Kind

87
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: of shocking with some of the lines out there.

88
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm scrolling through them right now. Wow, Arizona's only

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: and again i'd say only, it's it's one of the

90
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: bigger lines.

91
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, teen points.

92
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: I was actually shocked. I thought it was only going

93
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: to be seven or eight. To be honest, Oh really,

94
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so I was. I was actually shocked about

95
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: that one. There. There was a lot to be shaking

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: your head about. I'm like, oh my goodness, this one's

97
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: a very short line out there. I was. I was

98
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: shocked at a couple of them. Iowa State Lipscomb's a

99
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half point one and Oregon Liberty. I

100
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: like Liberty, They're a four and a half point dog.

101
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: That was a that was a close ligne. Also, I

102
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: saw it there.

103
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: But let me let me just try to drill a

104
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: little bit deeper. Here is We're coming to you live

105

109
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: should be. Is it possible, Arney Spaniard? Yes, that part

110
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: of the reason you're not really down with this bracket,

111
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: and part of the reason why you're not too excited

112
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: is just because outside of your beloved Arizona Wildcats and

113
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: maybe a game or two here or there, college basketball

114
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: really hasn't like captured our attention, yere?

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Is that part of it? Like when have we during

116
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: this show?

117
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: You know, and we've We've lived through the NFL free agency, right,

118
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: we went through gosh, the college football playoffs.

119
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: Which lasted like a month and a half.

120
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: It seemed like, uh, you know, NFL season in Super Bowl,

121
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: Like when was the time? Whenever we came into here,

122
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: they were like, holy smokes, did you see x or

123
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: y or? Is he from college basketball? Maybe won Cooper

124
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: Flagg's debut which came right in the middle of the

125
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: NFL season.

126
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: Right right?

127
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: Is it just where we're truly lacking that pool like

128
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: we used to have outside of March Madness.

129
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: This is I still think the greatest sporting event.

130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: I think March Madness for what it is and what

131
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: it involves, it's still the best. But if we just accepted,

132
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: all right, I'll catch up on college basketball when we

133
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: get to the field of sixty eight?

134
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: Is that where we are now with this sword?

135
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: But it is like that. But I mean, if you

136
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: took me, if I take you back about twenty five

137
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: thirty years ago, whatever, I got to take you back,

138
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: and if I told you we're all going to talk

139
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: about the top four or five teams. It'd be what

140
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: un l V it would be, Duke, I mean to

141
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: be some big name.

142
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: You really going back now if you think about it, dude,

143
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: that's like thirty years now.

144
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: No, But my point is we'd really be pumped up.

145
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: We go, oh wow, this is I can't wait to

146
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: see what U and LV is gonna do, or Duke

147
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: or Arizona. We'd be pumped up because there are one

148
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: seeds and excited about it here. I think it's gonna

149
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: be a lot of the one and two seeds advancing

150
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: all the way. Matter of fact, if they had three

151
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 3: one seeds and a two seeds in Saint John's and

152
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: we should be more excited about I think Saint John's

153
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: is a great story. It just doesn't seem to be

154
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: catching on naturally because I guess it's still just your

155
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: dad Saint John's. Nobody really goes back all that way.

156
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: Nobody cares about the old Big East and what Saint

157
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: John and lou Carnasseeca. If I asked everybody who Luke Carter,

158
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: I bet you're ten percent of our audience doesn't know

159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: who Lou Carnaseca is. So it doesn't have that appeal anymore.

160
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: Those sweaters were pretty awesome though.

161
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the good was all right.

162
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: It's kind of funny you can tell someone that really

163
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: truly loves college basketball, arn't he when they say something

164
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: along the lines of, man, it's really good to see

165
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: Saint John's relevant again.

166
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: You're like, what saying that.

167
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: An eighty year old? I just wanted to who's saying

168
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: that somebody who's like eighty years old?

169
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Right? It really goes back.

170
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: So are you saying you don't want to drill deep

171
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: in this tonight? Talk about who got screwed? Did West

172
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: Virginia get hosed?

173
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: By the way, Did I miss something that West Virginia

174
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: turned down an invitation to the NIT? Did I miss that?

175
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I do not know. I saw they were mad that

176
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: North Carolina got in.

177
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 3: I saw the pairings for the NIT, and I saw

178
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 3: the number one seeds, which I assumed that West Virginia

179
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: would have been a number one seed in the n

180
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: and they weren't there. So I'm thinking that maybe they

181
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: turned out an invitation.

182
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Wow, you've already looked at the NIT bracket. You who

183
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: is the college basketball expertise?

184
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: Tho?

185
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: God, leave it's me.

186
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: Come on now, Well, I was I will say, and

187
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, our producer, can back me up who earlier?

188
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: I think it was yesterday as a matter of fact.

189
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: And Aaron Torris, if you're listening to this, this is

190
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: like the ultimate high praise I think from Arnie Spaniard. Yes,

191
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: you sent a text along the lines of, hey, we

192
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: should see about getting someone like Aaron Torres to help

193
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: us break down the bracket.

194
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not gonna.

195
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: Lie I thought you got hacked because I know that

196
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: you think you're the college basketball expert. But I think

197
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: at least that shows me that there is some kind

198
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 2: or are you trying to draw something out in yourself

199
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: for this field of sixty eight?

200
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

201
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 2: Are you trying to get excited about like Aaron on?

202
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 3: No, And I'm sure I will be excited once it

203
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: gets started. And you know, first of all, it used

204
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: to be that we had the wait till Thursday, then

205
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: we got the playing game. Now the whole thing really

206
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: starts on a Tuesday. And I was a little riled

207
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: up that West Virginia didn't get in and the coach

208
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 3: was all mad. And then you hear the breakdown and

209
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 3: then the head of the committees from North Carolina and

210
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: West Virginia had what six was it? Six squad one

211
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: wins and North Carolina one in twelve and you're shaking

212
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: you like, what the hell? How does this happen? So

213
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: you know, you get all fired up about it and

214
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 3: pumped up, but you move on and you get ready

215
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: for the turn. I'm sure once that starts on Tuesday,

216
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: I'll be all excited about it, Kennedy, North Carolina gonna

217
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: win two games, by the way, Oh you do, yeah,

218
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: I have winning two games.

219
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: Well, so the playing game, obviously, you must have them

220
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: beating San.

221
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: Diego stink ole miss and then beating all Miss, oh miss.

222
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Pretty good.

223
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: I know they are right, they are a good team.

224
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think I would argue with you too

225
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: terribly much.

226
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: I want to make a point on that, all right,

227
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like this is one of those full

228
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: disclosure moments. The North Carolina eighty Bubba Cunningham is a

229
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: friend of mine, all right, He's one of my guys.

230
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: He was at Tulsa for a long time.

231
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: So I know I'm not defending it, Okay, okay, I'm

232
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: saying if they came back and the head of the

233
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: committee can't be involved, in these like they they lay

234
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: out to parameters and they're not really too terribly involved

235
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: in the debate. If they came to where it was

236
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: my team and it looked as bad as it looks

237
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: for North Carolina, I'm just saying, I don't know if

238
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 2: anyone can do this, but I almost feel like he

239
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: should have said, nah, you know, let's let's go ahead

240
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: and get someone else. Well, he's in the room, right,

241
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: he's I know, But I'm just I get it already.

242
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: I get it, But it's just no one knows that

243
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: you know it because you cut for sports and you

244
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: love sports.

245
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: The people from the Hills, if you will, they don't know.

246
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: It just looks like that North Carolina a D got

247
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 2: him in and you don't want to turn it down

248
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: because it's extra money for the school, and you know

249
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: everyone needs more money with REVS share. But I guess

250
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: for me, I don't know. I just I feel like

251
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: whenever it looks this shady, is that a term I

252
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: can use here?

253
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: Well, they always got away with it because I think

254
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: the other people the other teams were what was Virginia,

255
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: Indiana and Boise. Well, nobody's gonna make us think about

256
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: it because they were losing their coach and they were

257
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: playing through a ripoff tie. They played so well I

258
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: was even shocked. I was even shocked they were being considered.

259
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: And then Boise. I mean, it's Boise, So you know,

260
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna make us thick about that. They've had tree

261
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: falls in the woods. Did it fall down if nobody's

262
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: there to hear it, So maybe they thought they could

263
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 3: get away with something like that. I don't know.

264
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Let me clean up that analogy for you, just because

265
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: it's when I used today. If a tree falls in

266
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: the woods doesn't make a noise? Okay, that's hey, what

267
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: did you one thing that kind of jumped out to

268
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: me that I found interesting. We might have some second

269
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: round conference matchups. Yeah, and in the history of the

270
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: nca tournament, and that's something they're trying to avoid. Alabama

271
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: and Vanderbilt could potentially play in the second round.

272
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: Florida too many SEC teams fourteen and they only did

273
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 3: get was it eight in the big twelve? I think

274
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: they dropped or was it seven? Maybe I'm not even

275
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure. So that's too many fourteen, But

276
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: I guess there's nothing you can really do about it.

277
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: They all deserved it.

278
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: I guess here's the thing though, if if you get

279
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: fourteen in all right, we just we're some of these

280
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: games involving the SEC ole, Miss, I don't know which

281
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 2: which matchup are they playing?

282
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: Are they are they playing the win?

283
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: Well? Are they potentially playing the winner of Texas Xavier?

284
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean, could that be an SEC matchup in the

285
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: first round?

286
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: No?

287
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: Almost play is playing the winner of North Carolina San

288
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: Diego State?

289
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: Oh? Is that who they're playing?

290
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 5: Okay?

291
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: I thought they're playing the winner of Texas Xavier. Okay, Well,

292
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: if you're ol Miss, if North Carolina State and San

293
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: Diego State, whomever wins that are North Carolina San Diego State, Yeah,

294
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: you gotta beat them.

295
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Texas A and M's gotta beat Yale.

296
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Florida's going Oklahoma should beat you, count And

297
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm not just saying that because I'm a Sooner homer

298
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: coming to you live from Norman.

299
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Uh, Missouri better be Drake.

300
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he also had a college named

301
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: after him. I'm just Kentucky can't get beat if you're

302
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: gonna get fourteen teams in the dance, if you're gonna

303
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,359
Speaker 2: flex your must and I say this as an unabashed

304
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: SEC homer.

305
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: Now you got to win those games, Arnie.

306
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: If we're back here next Sunday night and there's like

307
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: two or three SEC teams left, or how about this,

308
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: if there's only like five left, you gotta look at

309
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 2: it and say, what the hell happened here? Why did

310
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: you let this many teams in?

311
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: From this? As you would say Maloney.

312
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 3: Conference, hey, how about this? If you really want to

313
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: make us think, Chris, how about that Louisville gets to

314
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: play in Lexington, which means they get to play Auburn

315
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: in the second round in Lexington. Lexington, they're the number

316
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: what aid seed and they get it right to How

317
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: far is it from Louisville to Lexington for the crowd

318
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: to get there? I'm sure, let's see here.

319
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too far at all, but it is.

320
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: It is very much. It's a home field advantage. It

321
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: is a one hour drive.

322
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh there you go. There you go, one hour drive.

323
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: And then if you're Auburn, you're gonna have the whole

324
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: stadium against you and they're the number one seeds. How

325
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: fair is now?

326
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Fair?

327
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 6: Is it?

328
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: That's probably one of the biggest snubs. I think I've

329
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: ever heard in my life when you're a number eight

330
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: seed and you get it right in your backyard? How

331
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: fair is that to Auburn and Arburn's the overall number one.

332
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: I just don't know how that's fair. I don't know's

333
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: there all right?

334
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to hit Roman numeral one.

335
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay, with the hardest bracket, easiest regent upsets gets you

336
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: some times, and let's kind of break down the selection show.

337
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: But I did want to say one thing before we

338
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: grab a break. Number one shouts out to the Boston

339
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: man Kiris, who's running the show tonight because Mary Mack

340
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: is sick, So Kiris Coburn whom Arnie, I'm sure. I'm

341
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: sure you bugged the hell out of him with technical

342
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: questions because you have no idea what you're doing. Yes,

343
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy's running the show, and of course our man

344
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: Steve de Segar on updates. But I'm glad you brought

345
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: up Greg Gumble off the top because the only thing

346
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: that comes to mind with me, well everything, A lot

347
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: of things come to mind, but one of the main

348
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: thing that comes to mind with me with Greg Gumble,

349
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: Arnie Spaniard is we didn't have every game on at

350
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: the same time. They didn't stagger start or we had

351
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: every game on at the same time, they didn't stagger

352
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: start times. And whenever a game was kind of getting

353
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: a little bit lopsided, all of a sudden, to go

354
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: back to the studio, Greg Gumbel, here, we're gonna take

355
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: you to the West Regional. I would get goosebumps, I'd

356
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: get fired. I'm like, Oh, what's going on? What's going

357
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: on in the tech Iona game? Let's go right and

358
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: and it's it's great that we have every game and

359
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: it's and everyone has the same joke on Wednesday, Oh,

360
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: time to find out what channel True TV's on. Right,

361
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: Everyone's got the same joke. But it's awesome. It's amazing

362
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: that we get all the games. But typically Captain Greg

363
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: Gubbele first election show without him, but those moments when

364
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: they would go back to the studio to shift to games, Arnie,

365
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: that was a pretty big high for a sports fan.

366
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: It was it was and it was a good tribute.

367
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm and there he was at the beginning. I guess

368
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: they had either it was a tape piece or some

369
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: piece they obviously took from earlier, from a couple of

370
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: years earlier, and it was just good to see him,

371
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: you know, even though he was gone, it was good

372
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: to see him and good to hear from him. And

373
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: the guys went on and they played the stones and

374
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: it was it was just a good tribute every which way.

375
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: Solid tribute all the way around. All right, Well, let's

376
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: go through the brackets. We'll talk about the regions, we'll

377
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: talk about what we like. We do have more than

378
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000

Speaker 3: I got mad at you. I got mad at you

410
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: remember last year? Why because you took my picks? Because

411
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: I put mine out right away and you just copied them.

412
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: What place did you finish last year?

413
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I won it up, Bingo, Bingo? So do you think

414
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: I won it? Why didn't you tie with me?

415
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: You probably changed a few of mine, so it looks

416
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: like you weren't cheating. Last year was cheat, you know,

417
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: like you cheat off somebody else's paper, but you change

418
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 3: a few of the answers so you don't look like

419
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: it's really word for word. That's what you probably did.

420
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: Cannot confirm her deny, Arnie. I mean, listen, the win's

421
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: a win now. I will say I timed it right.

422
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: I should say I timed it wrong because I won

423
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: the bracket challenge when there was nothing to win for

424
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: the host, like a couple of years ago, the host

425
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: actually won something like didn't someone walk away with a TV?

426
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I win it.

427
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: I had the tie breaker and I didn't get anything.

428
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: I gotta bet on the.

429
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: Back two weeks free vacation, Well.

430
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: I got it.

431
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: I don't have vacation. I gotta get I gotta work.

432
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: They had pace. I'm up from one to four am

433
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: Friday night. I can't take vacation. I got three freaking

434
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: kids and they all want something. But I will say,

435
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: what's kind of funny about last year is I have

436
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: a theory. Okay, my bracket theory. It was a winning theory.

437
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: But every year. For about four years, five of six years,

438
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: I'd lost a Final four team in the first round.

439
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: I just bad luck, right, and and we had some

440
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: first round upsets. I think there was like an Iowa

441
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: State team in there that was pretty good. They got

442
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: beat in the first round, probably like an Arizona team

443
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: that you talked to me into picking.

444
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: Out beating the first round. So last year, I'm not

445
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: even kidding.

446
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: I had submitted my Fox Sports Radio bracket and I

447
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: looked at it and said, I'm not picking Kentucky to

448
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 2: go to the Final four because I talked to myself.

449
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: I watched them in the SEC tournament with John Calipari'm like,

450
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: these guys are freaks.

451
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: They're athletic freaks.

452
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: No one's gonna beat them if they play like they should.

453
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: And so just on a whim, I said, you know what,

454
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna change it. I'm gonna have them getting beaten

455
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: the first round.

456
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: And what happened.

457
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: They got beat in the first round. Oakland beat them,

458
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: and the rest was history. Now, Oakland could have won

459
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: a few more games. I would have done even better

460
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: on the brackets, but winning's not good enough for you.

461
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 2: I could have won by a larger margin Arnie. It's

462
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: not it's not how far you go, it's how go

463
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: you fall? So I should have won by more.

464
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: This year is so easy. I'm thinking I may have

465
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: a perfect bracket.

466
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: No really, Yeah, what makes it so easy? In your opinion?

467
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: Have we gone away from calling it? Are we trying

468
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: to do what they're doing in the women's Are we

469
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: calling it the Atlanta region, the San Francisco region, the

470
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: Indian and the Newark region.

471
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: Is that what we're going with now?

472
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're doing the cities because we're not really doing

473
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: the North, Southeast and Midwest. But it's very easy this

474
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: year because I think it's gonna be a lot of

475
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: the one and two seeds and not too many upsets.

476
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: We don't get a few of them in the first round,

477
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: but we're not gonna have any big oh my goodness,

478
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: George Mason in the final four, any boloney like that.

479
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen this year.

480
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: Well, I am just now officially looking for that twelve,

481
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen seed that can make a run of

482
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: the final.

483
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: I was hoping Arizona was gonna play. Yeah, so we

484
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: get a little revenge on that Bologna conference.

485
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 2: But I guess every conference is a bloney conference, including

486
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: the one that you play.

487
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: In real quick before we get a sega in here.

488
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: I can understand like the lack of interest in college

489
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: hoops this year and really not generating a lot of buzz,

490
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: But why are you just like slam dunking, rubber stamping

491
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: that's that we're not going to see a team maker run.

492
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: What is it that tells you that, like, what evidence

493
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: do you have to support this scorching hot take of yours?

494
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: What that is going to be the top two seeds

495
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: in each region? Is that?

496
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? Why? Well?

497
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: I mean I just don't see, you know, first of all,

498
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: the look at the top teams, the Auburn's, the Dukes,

499
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: the Florida's, the Houstons. I mean, they're all just having

500
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: phenomenal years. They're just absolutely beast out there. Sure as

501
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: matter of fact, even take a look at the two seeds.

502
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: Saint John's going to the finals and are to the

503
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: to the final four, and there are two seeds strong

504
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 3: two seed out there. I don't even you know, I

505
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 3: don't even see many three seeds that are possibly that

506
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: could win the whole thing. Matter.

507
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: They just lost one of their better players.

508
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: So matter of fact, here's a little stat for you.

509
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: Arizona's A four has a better chance to win the

510
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: championship than every number three seed in the tournament.

511
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: Is that according to those numbers I sent you from

512
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: sports Betting dot ag.

513
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: That's according to Las Vegas.

514
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Oh, the Vegas line number.

515
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Vegas the odds to win the championship, they're

516
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: shorter for Arizona than every number three seed team. And

517
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: I think two of the two maybe also number fours too.

518
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: But that's what this is about. It's about matchups.

519
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 3: Haven't really well, every number three seed, you would think

520
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: that one of the three seeds would have been a

521
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: shorter mark than Arizona because they'd have an easier schedule.

522
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: Arizona probably should have been a three seed, to be honest.

523
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're four seeds.

524
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: Fine.

525
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: They did lose to Houston. Before they started the Big

526
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: twelve Conference tournament, they had lost I think three of

527
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: six or four six they had. They ran a tough

528
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 3: they had a tough goal there. You know, they lost

529
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: the Kansas and I believe they lost the Texas Tech.

530
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: They lost to Iowa State, so they did some bad losses.

531
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's some pretty bad three seats. To

532
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I think that, and again I'm

533
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: not doubting. I think it's a wild number. But I

534
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: don't I don't think Kentucky's all that great. I don't

535
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: think George. I don't think Iowa States. I mean, I

536
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: would think just lost their best players.

537
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: I think Texas Tech is a good Texas Tech.

538
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Has longer odds than Arizona.

539
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, oh wow.

540
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: Now I will admit that surprises me just a bit.

541
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: So I like Tech. I think that's a team. I'll

542
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: move on quite a bit in my bracket. But to hear,

543
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: I mean, they're twenty eight to one. It's not like

544
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: it's a massive number. It's twenty eight to one. In

545
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: Arizona's twenty six to one. I mean, hell, you guys

546
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: have better numbers than Michigan State is a two seat

547
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: to potentially win the thing.

548
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: It is kind of perplexing trying to figure out where

549
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: than No. I guess you know, a lot of it

550
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: has to do is how much money's coming in. But

551
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: you do wonder how they came up with some of

552
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: these lines. I don't think they're really you know, right

553
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: on the pianos with you.

554
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: You might be right.

555
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Well, we're coming to you live tonight from the tech

556
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: iraq dot com studios. Your tweets coming up here in

557
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: just a bit. Let's talk about the toughest region in

558
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: a moment. First, Steve Sager is in the house with

559
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: everything that's going on in the world of sports. Good evening,

560
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: Steve de Sager. What's trending, my friend.

561
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 7: And a good evening to you. And the NFL breaking

562
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 7: news is now official. The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to

563
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 7: extensions with wide receiver Jamar Chase, an extra four years

564
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 7: at one hundred and twelve million dollars guaranteed, and theoretically

565
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 7: an extra four years with t Higgins. Not all guaranteed,

566
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 7: but I did read that recently Higgins changed to Jamar

567
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 7: Chase's agents, so they got that done together. The Ravens

568
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 7: signed backup quarterback.

569
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 3: But by the way, are we taking guesses on what

570
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 3: their excuse will be next year when they don't make

571
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs? Oh oh, Joe Bird didn't have enough insive line?

572
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 7: Well, that part is true, Joe games. As you see

573
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 7: how often they had great offense and still didn't win

574
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 7: the game.

575
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear anything from them. I I

576
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 3: already heard from one.

577
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 7: Since it's not for them, it's from the front office.

578
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: You just weren't. You're blone.

579
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 3: You got your two receivers and you got your quarterback.

580
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: As far as I'm good, so you should just play

581
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: with three people. Go out there.

582
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 7: You made your bed, sleep in it. If that's all

583
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 7: the money you have, that's your line.

584
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: Let's go.

585
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 7: Okay, let's see suit him up. The Ravens sign backup

586
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 7: quarterback Cooper Rush from Dallas, and yes, shortstop Mookie Bets

587
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 7: of the Dodgers, not an outfielder anymore, will miss Tuesday's

588
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 7: opener in Japan and miss the Wednesday game against the

589
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 7: Cubs as well. The regular season for MLB is opening

590
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 7: with just these two games this week in Tokyo, first

591

Speaker 7: been been missing the two exhibitions that were played there

594
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 7: this weekend. There's a chance to even get sent home early.

595
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: Apparently he was ill before even leaving spring training for Japan.

596
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 7: The NBA's late game not close. It's the Thunder leading

Speaker 3: Gas station next door or something like that, they couldn't

624
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 3: take the Absolutely.

625
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 7: Yes, it's just like that. NASCAR's on FS one again

626
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 7: the next four Sundays, and of course all seventeen IndyCar

627
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 7: races this season are on Fox TV. That includes the

628
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 7: Indy five hundred late May, and the IndyCar season continues

629
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 7: next Sunday. That season will end in August. And you

630
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 7: were talking coops. Auburn is the number one overall seed

631
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 7: Stronger Conference. They said, you know, they lost at Duke

632
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 7: in December. Duke is a one seed, just not number

633
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 7: one overall. Houston's a one seed, could face a second

634
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: round matchup against Gonzaga. Florida is a one seed. The

635
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: Gators won the SEC Tournament beating Tennessee. An SEC school

636
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 7: has not won the national title in men's basketball since

637
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 7: twenty twelve. Kentucky North Carolina did get in last team

638
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 7: in It'll face San Diego State on Tuesday night that winter,

639
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 7: then plays Friday against Ole Miss.

640
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 2: Back to you trying to go through Arnie's bracket here,

641
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: kind of see what I like what I don't like?

642
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 2: So you go ahead just for the sake of debate, right,

643
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: and you go ahead and pick who you think is

644
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: gonna win the play in game two.

645
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: So you got you got.

646
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: North Carolina not only winning the play in game but

647
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: beating Ole Miss.

648
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: Right, So they win two games, actually the favorite over

649
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: San Diego State by like two or three points, I believe.

650
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: So I like how you say there's no interest, no

651
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: upsets here, and you have Yale in the sweet sixteen.

652
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, I do have seven first round upsets,

653
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: but I mean only a couple that are really shocking.

654
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: They're not like like you see San Diego. Do you

655
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: know what that line is against Michigan right off the bat?

656
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: I mean you would think that was like some type

657
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: of big one. No, it's I think it's like four

658
00:28:59,240 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: or five.

659
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: It. You see San Diego is really good? You see

660
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: San Diego, I'm kind of surprised to see. So they

661
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: got Michigan all the way up to uh five. Yeah,

662
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: if you see San Diego hadn't won their conference tournament, areny,

663
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: they probably would have had.

664
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: A case to make it asn't that large?

665
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: Cool?

666
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: So they're a pretty good team. You got I see

667
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: what you're doing here. You got Liberty winning their first

668
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: round matchup against Oregon, so you wouldn't have to worry

669
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: about them in the second round.

670
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 3: What what an injustice? We'll put Oregon up there? So

671
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: a number what is it? A number five s could

672
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: go ahead and play in Seattle, a four hour drive

673
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: from their from their campus. So Arizona gets them in

674
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: the second round. That's that's so bogus.

675
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Well that's you guys round.

676
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I guess we're gonna have to That's okay.

677
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: Liberty is gonna win anyway. I like this Liberty team.

678
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Did you do you, big Liberty?

679
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: Well they score a lot a big Liberty fan.

680
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: Don't you fall from McNeice again. Don't do it.

681
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 3: I got them winning like three games.

682
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: You got them going to the Sweet sixteen again this year.

683
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: Don't do it. They're not that good. I do it every year.

684
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Though I know you did it last year.

685
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: Everyone fell for him last year. I will say I

686
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: like your UCSD pick a lot. I like the That

687
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: might be one of my bigger upsets in the first round.

688
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: I can't get behind North Carolina right now. But with

689
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: that in mind, which region, Arnie Spanier, before we hit

690
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: your tweets, which region do you think is the most difficult?

691
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: Let me rephrase it, which one seed got the toughest road?

692
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: Well, I do think the toughest region are the ones

693
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: thing that got the toughest road. I think it's all

694
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: the same. Is the East in Newark? I mean, yes,

695
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: Duke is the number one seed rightfully, so there's no

696
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 3: if fans or butts about that. But everybody else, I mean,

697
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: it's tough when Alabama's a strong too, even.

698
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: Though they got smoked in the in the SEC tournament,

699
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: they're really good.

700
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: They're a really really good team. Arizona a number four,

701
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, they're better shot to win the whole

702
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: thing than every number three and number four seeds in

703
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: this tournament. And Wisconsin had a really good year and

704
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: they're the number three seed in that one. That's got

705
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: to be the hardest overall. When you take a look

706
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: at it. I think, well, I haven't done the easiest yet,

707
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: but we haven't done that one yet. But overall, when

708
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: you have that type of depth one through four, I

709
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 3: don't think any other region you can have all four

710
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: teams that could come out of it. So I think

711
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: it's gonna be the East right now.

712
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: I kind of think Auburn got host a little bit.

713
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: I think, oh, big time, they got home. Yeah, not

714
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: only with the Lexington trip and the potential second round

715
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: matchup with with Yeah, but yeah, but then again, I

716
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: say that and Iowa States leaking, They leaking, Uh, Michigan

717
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: State just got being the Big ten tournament. Didn't look

718
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: all that good. Marquette was faltering down the stretch this year.

719
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: Didn't Auburn lose like three of their last four. They struggled,

720
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: They lost to Alabama, they lost in the SEC tournament.

721
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: So I mean they haven't necessarily played all that well.

722
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's just a region of kind of stinking

723
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: because you're not supposed to gauge in the mint's turn.

724
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, the women's tournament cares how you play down

725
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: the stretch, right, they care about the final ten. The

726
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: mids they don't it's like the final ten doesn't matter Auburn.

727
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: I give him grace because it feels like which and

728
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: I broom. They've had the one seed wrapped up, the

729
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: number one overall, and a one seat wrapped up for

730
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: quite a while. So I don't know if it's just

731
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: maybe they've already played their best basketball, but I want

732
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: to say they have the toughest roads.

733
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: And then I look at it and I'm not all

734
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: that floored by it.

735
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm not floored by it, and I'm a little

736
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: surprised they got the number one overall. I'm still curious

737
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: what I would do if I'm Duke, if I'm gonna

738
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: play Cooper Flag, if I'm going to sit him. You

739
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: don't need him against what is it Mount Saint Mary's

740
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 3: or American or wherever they play.

741
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: In the first round.

742
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: You probably don't need him even need him in the

743
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: second game, do you? But you want to be maybe

744
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: getting him out out there. But if you can just

745
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: rest them the first two games, that makes all the

746
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: difference in the world.

747
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: Grip.

748
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: If you're playing a team that's won a national championship

749
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: in the last five years in that second round, I

750
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: think you need him. I mean, that's what Baylor is. Obviously,

751
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: all those dudes in that team are gone. But I don't.

752
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to take that risk of playing either

753
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Baylor or Mississippi State without Cooper flag do you No,

754
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

755
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: Want to, but it would certainly make the difference if

756
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: I could rest them one more week. If it can't

757
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: be done, I'm still not going to play him against

758
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: Mount Saint Mary's, are you, though?

759
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: You know? Put him out that well? I don't. I mean,

760
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: there is just to get in the flow of things

761
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: or what.

762
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: Duke has the shortest odds of the one seeds in

763
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: the tournament plus three thirty. For some reason, they made

764
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: it thirty three to ten. Whatever, they want to make

765
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: it hard on me mathwise, I don't get that. I

766
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: don't think he's healthy, Arnie. I don't think he's gonna play.

767
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I just told you.

768
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: They think it's so much of an easier road than all.

769
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Right, right, exactly, all right, when we come back to

813
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 3: I gotta make a few changes a couple.

814
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: Are you gonna take a Yale out of the Sweet sixteen?

Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna keep dead man. I like you, I do.

816
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: I do like them.

817
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: I wish Arizona was playing them though. I wanted to

818
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 3: kick their backside.

819
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Uh Russ, the goat has hit us up on the X.

820
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: He writes, I accepted a challenge of any three full

821
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: sized bags of Jalapedo potato chips if Duke doesn't win

822
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 2: the tournament.

823
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: What kind of challenge is that? That sounds awesome?

824
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: It does well, I mean, there's still the favorite, but

825
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm not wouldn't bet that much on it because, I mean,

826
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: you still want to see what Cooper flag is gonna do.

827
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: You still want to see how healthy he's gonna be,

828
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 3: and there's no you know, no guarantee that go ahead

829
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: and win the whole thing.

830
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 2: Nature Boy does point out that apparently Tennessee apparently Plank

831
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: cheated up last year.

832
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: The right you did.

833
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 3: You took all of mine and then you changed two

834
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: of my answers to the right ones.

835
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: Who still?

836
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: I mean, and listen, I'm not here to brag I

837
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: won the bracket challenge last year, but aren't he's going

838
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: to tell you that he did.

839
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 3: It's it's like, that's like we should be a shame.

840
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 3: That's like me beating Hussein both in the hundred yard dash.

841
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: The fact that you want it is such an embarrassment

842
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: to this whole network.

843
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: It's just crazy, right, I mean crazy someone that's actually

844
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 2: been to a bunch of college basket.

845
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: Look, I'm trying to compliment. You don't take it away.

846
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 2: Winning the back should be how many college hoops games

847
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: should be to this year.

848
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like the office secretary winning the office pool.

849
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 3: You're a softball guy, You're the Chris Plage softball guy,

850
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: and you win the basketball contest.

851
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: That's yeah. I mean, all you basketball experts got leave tours.

852
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 2: You should just tap out. I mean, in fact, the

853
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: way you make it sound, all you sports guys should

854
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: tap out and I should sit here and I don't know,

855
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: talk about nail polish or something.

856
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: So yeah, take that.

857
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: Joe Judges Berner, who occasionally hits a home run every

858
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: now and then, has an intriguing one here, AREN'TI Yeah,

859
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 2: he writes, every member of this crooked criminal committee needs

860
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: to be institutionalized for a minimum of twenty years in

861
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: a psychiatric facility to study their brains. This is extreme

862
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: mental wand bornerline criminal America Carolina over at North Carolina

863
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: getting in over West Virginia. I know, Joe Judges Berner

864
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: was that passionate about what West Virginia basketball.

865
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: I know, but I guess said it was egregious one

866
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: in twelve quad one wins. Who would have thought that

867
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: they were even gonna get in? I thought, if somebody

868
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: was going to get in it was gonna be Indiana

869
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 3: or Boise or something like that.

870
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: I guess part of the theory too, is there's a

871
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven sports report out there.

872
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: Now.

873
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 2: Again, there can be things on the intrawebs that are

874
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: not correct and just suddenly go viral.

875
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 1: For oh, I don't know they fit a narrative.

876
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 2: But there's a report that Bubba Cunningham's contract allows him

877
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: to receive an extra a month of his salary if

878
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: North Carolina makes the NCAA tournament. And I again, like

879
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: I said, if I was and he wasn't allowed to

880
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: be in the room, and he wasn't conferred about it

881
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: or anything, And I don't think I think Bubba's doing okay,

882
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: Joe Judges Burner, I don't think he has to go

883
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 2: to be like, guys, listen, if you get North Carolina

884
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: in the tournament, slid an extra hundred year away, I

885
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: don't think that's an issue.

886
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 3: Nobody doesn't have to be in the room either. Those

887
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 3: talks would have happened as they drove over from Chick

888
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: fil A or something like that. They're like, hey, you

889
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 3: know I picked up the sweet teas.

890
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: You gotta do me yet, So I don't think I

891
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: don't think that that had anything to do with it.

892
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: But the fact that West Virginia had six quad one wins, heck,

893
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: the Hoosiers had four of them. Indiana didn't have a

894
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: single loss outside of a quad one game, and even

895
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State had six squad one wins and North Carolina

896
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: had one.

897
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: One and twelve one and twelve.

898
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 2: That'd be one win, twelve loss. It just seems a

899
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: little bit concerning. As the kids would say, I am ho,

900
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: We'll get more of your texts coming up next because

901
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: I think it's a fascinating night. In thirty seconds, your

902
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: biggest upset is it Rydan Yale or McNeice right now?

903
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Yale and McNeice, So the top

904
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: two of my upsets.

Speaker 2: drops right after the show is over. But Arnie was

922
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 2: complaining about how the NCAA tournament just seems what doll

923
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: storyline lister.

924
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: I figured out Jews.

925
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 3: Well, I figured out why some of the cities are

926
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: bothering me too. You know what I mean? Because I

927
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: told you Seattle so far away, so isolated? Why is

928
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: it there? You know?

929
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: Why are we like it's a foreign country at Seattle. Man,

930
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: It's a city.

931
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: One city that should definitely be in the rotation every year.

932
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 3: And I don't mean for the final four. I just

933
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 3: mean for the first round has to be Phoenix one.

934
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 3: It's very accessible from all the West Coast teams. I

935
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 3: want to go and watch their teams play from California

936
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 3: and up and down the coast. Also, it's very accessible

937
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: from many of the Big twelve teams or SEC teams.

938
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: If you're coming from Texas or Oklahoma, especially Texas, there's

939
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 3: so many schools there very easily. You can get to Phoenix, Arizona.

940
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 3: And if you're a school that's a little bit far

941
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 3: away but you're in bad you know, not great weather,

942
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: maybe you make the trip to Phoenix to enjoy a

943
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: little bit of weather. So three reasons and very accessible.

944
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: But yet they don't have Phoenix out there. They give

945
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 3: you Seattle. Who's going to go to Seattle? And that's

946
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: another thing. Don't you love when there's like a couple

947
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 3: of thousand fans show up for the team and they're

948
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: back of the team and they're enjoying it. You're not

949
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: gonna get that unless you're you're gonna see Louisville their

950
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: fans going to Lexington and stuff like that. You're not

951
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: gonna see too much of that this year because it's

952
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: so far away from some of these schools.

953
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, in fairness, it actually Phoenix hosts the

954
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 2: Final four. So you're like, why don't they go to Phoenix, Well,

955
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: they they host the Final four.

956
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: Rotation, but it's got to be in the first round

957
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: because well, so you can go to the games, you

958
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: know what I mean, You're gonna go to the Final

959
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: four no matter where it is. If you're one of

960
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: the four teams in there. It could be in timbuk two,

961
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: but you're gonna want to see your team play the

962
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 3: first round when you're on short notice. It's so tough

963
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: to Seattle. I mean, where is that on the map?

964
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: Can you point it out? My goodness, man.

965
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: It's where you act like there's not professional teams that

966
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: play in Seattle. I mean, they've got an NFL team.

967
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: We got a Major League Baseball.

968
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 3: To prove it. If nobody watches the game, is there

969
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: really an NFL team there?

970
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 8: Prove it? There's really like the senior ball going on

971
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 8: in Mobile, Alabama.

972
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: You have an issue with Seattle, Washington.

973
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: It's major city. What you're doing.

974
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: They got it hard to get to. I just and

975
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: you know it's not just Seattle too, So don't just

976
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: act like.

977
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: Com go well, okay, then what else is it?

978
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: Well, Milwaukee's another one out there. Do we have to

979
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 3: have it in Milwaukee? Why Milwaukee?

980
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: Milwaukee?

981
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: Oh, because it's such a college hotbed that we got

982
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: to have it in Milwaukee.

983
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: And Marquette University is the host of it.

984
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: Oh gee, that's great. Then, well, thank goodness for that.

985
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: Let's just have it every year. There, I understand why

986
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: we're going to Raleigh and and places. I understand Providence.

987
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 3: At least the people from Massachusetts and New York and

988
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: the East coast can get to that.

989
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: You understand the coast. Yeah, okay, go ahead, give you

990
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: another one.

991
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 3: What about Denver? What's why there?

992
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 1: Give me your why?

993
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 3: We're all big Air Force fans down in Colorado Springs

994
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 3: University of Denver. You see fans in Colorado? Why Denver?

995
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 3: Why are we putting it there? Who wants to fly

996
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: in and out of Denver? It's such a pain in

997
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 3: the backside. Nobody wants to go to Denver.

998
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: Stop that. You know that this has been the case

999
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: for a really long time.

1000
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 2: Whatver? I'm just talking about these cities in general. Like

1001
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 2: next year, are you gonna throw a fit whenever one

1002
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: of the first and second round sites is Oklahoma City

1003
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: or wait for this one, Portland, Oregon. Whenever it's a

1004
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 2: first round site next year? You're gonna be okay with that?

1005
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: No it, We'll be okay with Portland. But maybe tell

1006
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: shouldn't you think it'd be a little bit closer to

1007
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 3: some of the college towns, or in maybe some of

1008
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 3: these big college towns like I wouldn't be opposed of

1009
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: it being in like Norman. How about that, wouldn't that

1010
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 3: be great?

1011
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 2: Well, in fairness, Arnie, you're trying to avoid giving too

1012
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 2: much of a home court advantage. I mean, you want

1013
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: to try to make it as the NCAA. This is

1014
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: gonna sound dumb. And it's not a me rule. It's

1015
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: an NCAA rule. They want to try to make these

1016
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: tournaments as neutral as they can. It's just it's it's stupid, right,

1017
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: I can't tell Yeah, right, So, and these cities submit

1018
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: bids to host these first and second games, and honestly,

1019
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 2: Tall as a host in like five or six years.

1020
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: And when we finally got I was part of them.

1021
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 2: I was a part of the group, but we were

1022
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: really pushing hard to try to get first and second

1023
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 2: round games there. It's awesome for the community.

1024
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, That's why I'm not you know, I'm for

1025
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 3: these you know, Lexington, I'm actually okay with I forget

1026
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 3: that Louisville gets an unfair advantage. I'm just talking about

1027
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: the you know, it's a college town, you know, for

1028
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 3: foremost accessible something with rally too, I'm okay with that one. Also,

1029
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 3: you know you got the Carolina schools down there and

1030
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 3: accessible town I'm okay with towns like that, that's for sure.

1031
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: By the way, I want to make this point very clear.

1032
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 2: I love Seattle. I think we've got a great affiliate

1033
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 2: in seattlekjrus one. You just asked if it was even

1034
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: in the United States of America, and a point on the.

1035
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: Map and show you where it is.

1036
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: What are you doing because they're Why are you mad

1037
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: that Seattle a place that had their NBA team ripped

1038
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: from them and now they're having to watch them be

1039
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: the most dominant force in the universe.

1040
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: That sucks.

1041
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 2: You just went and you shape traded out for Sam

1042
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: Darnold at quarterback.

1043
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean the Mariners. It's been rough for Seattle, aren't

1044
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: it is? Why are you not letting them have their

1045
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: first second tournament?

1046
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 3: Arizona probably gonna win and play Oregon in the second

1047
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 3: round and the place is gonna be twenty thousand pack

1048
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 3: full of Oregon fans. I could see that out.

1049
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: Let's see Eugene Oregon to Seattle four hours. Oh you

1050
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: already looked it up.

1051
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 3: I already looked it up four hours.

1052
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: Four hours, twenty three minutes.

1053
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: I had four hours in eight minutes. I must have

1054
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: picked the wrong part.

1055
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 2: Two hundred and eighty three miles all right, I could

1056
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: walk that. You could walk that walk down. So is

1057
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 2: that where it's frustration is coming from for these cities?

1058
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 3: Marketit? That's one of them, that's part of it out there.

1059
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: Well, I will say I find it funny on a

1060
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: Sunday night when the brackets are out, that you're complaining

1061
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: about them, but yet the first or Roman numerals on

1062
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: the beloved Roman numeral rundown. Yeah, I have everything to

1063
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 2: do with the NCAA tournament, right, Well, it's still the

1064
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 2: big thing out there. Am I wrong when I said

1065
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling the madness? Actually a couple of people

1066
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: said the same thing. Our producer who you keep talking.

1067
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 3: To, he said, he's not feeling the madness at all

1068
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 3: either for some reason. I don't know, maybe because some

1069
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 3: of the spreads are low, or I'm not feeling any

1070
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: of the thirteen fourteen, fifteen seeds winning or something. I'm

1071
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: just done.

1072
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you, Okay, We've had

1073
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: this fight every single year. I couldn't care. Le's what

1074
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 2: the spreads are in a tournament game. I just don't care.

1075
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

1076
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, that's kind of a close spread. So

1077
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 2: I mean when have you looked at it and said, man,

1078
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: that's spread. The McNee spread was tight last year And

1079
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, look out, I just I love the matchups.

1080
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: Why do you need a spread to be close or

1081
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: be wide in order for you not to enjoy the

1082
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament?

1083
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: I well, what are you calling an upset then? And

1084
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 3: you're certainly not doing it by seeds or are you

1085
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: looking just by seeds and by because you know, sometimes

1086
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 3: it's seven to Oh, it's an upset ten beat seven

1087
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 3: when it was like a pickup game or something like that.

1088
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: But it's still it's still a ten beating of seven.

1089
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's still an upset. I don't the

1090
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 2: ten could be the favorite, and to me, it's still

1091
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 2: an upset.

1092
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 3: You see when I picked U see San Diego over Michigan, Well,

1093
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 3: but that's not really a big upset. Even though it's

1094
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 3: a twelve over five, Michigan's only a two and a

1095
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 3: half point favorite right now that have you ever seen

1096
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 3: a twelve and a five only separated by two and

1097
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: a half in the spread. I don't think I've ever

1098
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 3: seen that before in the history of the NC Douable.

1099
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: I think it's getting tighter. I think it's getting tighter.

1100
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: I think it's been this way for a while. But

1101
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you just you're wanting to matter. Here's the thing.

1102
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: You're in this group of people that want all the

1103
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: blue bloods to win because you want all the big

1104
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: names there.

1105
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: But you also want all the upsets.

1106
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 3: I want a few of the Yeah, I want them

1107
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 3: in the first round.

1108
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: Of course.

1109
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: That's what makes this the the tournament that it is.

1110
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: That's why we love doing the brackets. We want the

1111
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: McNee state to win, or or Drake people jumping on

1112
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 3: and they're bare wagon.

1113
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the UC san diegos, But you

1114
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: don't want to see him advance out of the second time.

1115
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: You don't watch them, then we're done with you.

1116
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: You know. It's like hitting on a girl at a bar.

1117
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 3: We want to talk to you, but I mean, please

1118
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: don't call me the next day.

1119
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 2: There you go, Oh my gosh, that's quite the analogy.

1120
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 2: But I understand what you're getting at. I just I

1121
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: think you're like purposefully trying to implode your own viewing

1122
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: experience for the NCAA Tournament. I don't know you're mad

1123
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 2: about sits, you're mad about where teams are.

1124
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 3: I'm so mad. I have an eight o'clock basketball game

1125
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 3: on Friday night in the Arizona game starts at seven

1126
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: thirty five, So.

1127
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: Your personal rec league, that's gonna be a tough choice. Arnie,

1128
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: which way are you gonna go watch.

1129
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 3: The Arizona Well, the Arizona game probably gonna start late.

1130
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: Those things are the third game in the Seattle region,

1131
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: so you know we'll be pushed back about a half

1132
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 3: hour to forty five minutes.

1133
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: A couple of quick tweet slash exes before we get

1134
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: Todd Furman in here. Mister nobody writes as a Florida

1135
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 2: State fan, I hate Florida in the SEC, but I'll

1136
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: probably struggle to pick Duke because even though which k

1137
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: has gone, I still hate them with the burning of

1138
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: a million suns. Well, maybe we don't have a hateable

1139
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: figure anymore in college basketball, right.

1140
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 3: Well, we used to hate Duke, right, but why are

1141
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 3: we not hating Duke? To the number one seed and

1142
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 3: almost the number one overall? Why are we not because

1143
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 3: Coach K has gone. If Coach K was still the coach,

1144
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 3: we'd be hating them big time.

1145
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: You know, I think you're right. I think you're right.

1168
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 3: earlier in the day. Was once the brackets came out,

1169
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 3: I didn't pick Arizona to go all the way the

1170
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 3: you know, Torres called me a fair weather fan. How

1171
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 3: about that?

1172
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: But you you picked them every single year.

1173
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: I feel like this is some sort of reverse psychology

1174
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: that you're trying to throw out there or something.

1175
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 3: I just I'm just not feeling it with them now.

1176
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 3: They did lose a lot of games. I didn't think

1177
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 3: they what do they have, like twelve losses or something

1178
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 3: that way too many? I thought that there was going

1179
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 3: to be and we lost to some of that Bologna,

1180
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,239

Speaker 3: Yeah that makes me just just I have to take

1184
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: a shower now.

1185
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: Twenty two and twelve this year not bad. Finished fourth

1186
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: in the Big twelve, fifth in the Big twelve, Arizona

1187
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: third in the Big twelve. Uh final tight tied for

1188
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,760

1189
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: So there you go.

1190
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,239

Speaker 1: Ah, twenty two and twelve, when they were twenty four

1198

1210
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 3: the championship, so I got that off, and I'm definitely

1211
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 3: taking a week off when the Mets or when the

1212
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 3: Dolphins win the Super Bowl, and I'm taking a Sunday off.

1213
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 3: I already put that in to go to the Dominican

1214
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 3: Republican May So I've taken a lot of time off

1215
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: coming up.

1216
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: That's wait, what is there a baseball game there or something?

1217
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 3: Or No, I don't know. I'm just going for whatever reason.

1218
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: I think I bought a package there or something.

1219
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: Okay, and then here's Geda. He writes, here we go

1220
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 2: with Spaniard comparing the tournament to a ham sandwich. That's

1221
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 2: pretty much happened here today. I don't know why. I

1222
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: think part of it. I think part of it is

1223
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: because you truly don't believe in your team. And if

1224
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 2: you want to say Ian's not into it, I mean

1225
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 2: for Ian, he's a USC fan in a Texas fan.

1226
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: That's the worst curse you could happen.

1227
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 3: I've been I've been into the tournament when Arizona was

1228
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 3: like a nine seed or something, and here they are

1229
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: as we as we already mentioned, they have a better

1230
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 3: shot than all the three seeds in the fourth seeds,

1231
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 3: so they do have a chance.

1232
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 9: I just just got feeling it with them. They've lost

1233
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 9: some close games this year, but it's funny because they

1234
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 9: got in. They got yeah in Houston to one twice.

1235
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 2: They got beat in the first round last year, and

1236
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: you were like, oh, they're going all the way, and

1237
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 2: it's like, I don't.

1238
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: I think you're trying to play mental games here.

1239
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,959
Speaker 2: That's what I think is going on, all right, Todd

1240
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 2: Princeton game still still crushing me.

1241
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were supposed to quit your job after it,

1242
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: but here we are.

1243
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: That the loss you're talking about the Princeton game.

1244
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no, all of them that Arizona has lost

1245
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 2: in the first round. You've always got your job on them.

1246
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: I saw the one when you sent me the Oklahoma one.

1247
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that was Arizona one.

1248
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 3: I was at that game?

1249
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: Was the was that in the eighties?

1250
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Josh Pazner gave me a ticket to the game.

1251
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: Look at you, hey?

1252
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,200

1267
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: up about March Madness with the help of Todd firm

Speaker 2: to you live from the tire rack dot com studios.

1270
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: It's Arnie and playing on Fox Sports Sunday. Arnie's been

1271
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: complaining about March Madness. I will say, I think if

1272
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 2: Arizona was like a two seed, you'd be all about this.

1273
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 3: Doesn't really make it eff it's a two seed, three seed,

1274
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 3: four seed, does it really?

1275
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: How about this? If you thought Arizona was gonna win

1276
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: it all, you'd be all about it.

1277
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 3: Hey, I was excited when Arizona was ten sed one year.

1278
00:55:58,480 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 3: They I didn't even think they were going to make

1279
00:55:59,719 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: the turn.

1280
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: Oh I love it.

1281
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 3: We're going all We're going all the way. But no,

1282
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 3: I just I'm not feeling it this year.

1283
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: Well, Todd Ferman joined.

1284
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 2: Just Todd, do you feel like there's some juice lacking

1285
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 2: from the field of sixty eight?

1286
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think there always is when you

1287
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 5: look at the way that the regions lay out. You're

1288
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 5: trying to identify some of the cinderella stories of the

1289
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 5: programs and players that don't get a whole lot of

1290
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 5: national attention throughout the course of the year. And like

1291
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 5: every good college basketball handicapper, do everything the exact opposite

1292
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 5: of people like Arnie and Sat Davis tell us to

1293
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 5: do with our bracket.

1294
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 3: Good point, you know, Tod, But I'm not feeling the

1295
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 3: you know, the big upsets this year. I yeah, I

1296
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 3: do have like five or six, But do I consider

1297
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 3: you see San Diego an upset when it's a twelve

1298
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 3: and a five, but they're only a two and a

1299
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 3: half point dog.

1300
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1301
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 5: Well, I think for me, you know, I look at

1302
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 5: it a little bit differently. So I'm probably not the

1303
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 5: best litmus test with a lot of those things, because

1304
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 5: you're exactly right, Arnie, if a team wins outright as

1305
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 5: a two and a half point dog, I don't really

1306
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 5: care much about how they're being seated for it to

1307
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 5: be a bigger ups or something that kind of shakes

1308
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 5: college basketball. If you're looking at some of those low

1309
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 5: major programs that are out there, and not to discredit U,

1310
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 5: see San Diego and what they've been able to accomplish

1311
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 5: only being a divisional wommer for a few years, but

1312
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 5: twenty nine to thirty wins pretty impressive resume. You know,

1313
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 5: if you're looking for a team that could be a

1314
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 5: giant killer, maybe it's a high point that can upset

1315
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 5: Perdue or a grand Canyon that can do a little

1316
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 5: bit of damage as a double digit dog. But unless

1317
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 5: we're talking about ones and two seeds going down, I

1318
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 5: think some of the Cinderella storylines get removed from the

1319
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 5: equation and you just try and go pick winners in

1320
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 5: these games, whether it's from an ATS perspective or when

1321
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 5: you're filling out your brackets to try and beat your

1322
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 5: friends and family.

1323
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think one of the most fascinating

1324
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 2: conversations always is who did or who did not get in?

1325
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 2: And with North Carolina getting in, I'm surprised you shocked

1326
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 2: at all? And does West Virginia have as much beef

1327
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: as it seems like they should.

1328
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I won't clean to be a bracketologist by

1329
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 5: any stretch of the imagination. I don't go through ranking

1330
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 5: the field one through sixty eight like a lot of

1331
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 5: the college basket. All folks out there do but one

1332
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 5: hundred and eleven out of one hundred and eleven brackets

1333
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 5: that are typically used as a good identifier or a

1334
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 5: lens through which you're trying to anticipate which teams are

1335
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 5: going to be in the field. Was definitely surprised that

1336
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 5: West Virginia found themselves on the outside, and even Indiana

1337
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 5: to a lesser extent when you look at what the

1338
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 5: Hoosiers had done down the stretch. I think San Diego

1339
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 5: State got the benefit of the doubt despite playing in

1340
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 5: a Mountain West conference that hasn't exactly performed all that well,

1341
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 5: but San Diego State has been the one bright light

1342
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 5: from that league over the last couple of seasons. And

1343
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 5: then North Carolina. I mean, we've all talked about how

1344
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 5: watered down the ACC is no greater illustration of them

1345
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 5: getting three teams in the basically the field as a

1346
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 5: whole in Louisville being the third seed coming in on

1347
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 5: the eight nine line. I don't know what North Carolina

1348
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 5: did that allowed the committee to go, hey, look, this

1349
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 5: is a team that we have to put in based

1350
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 5: on potential. When you're one to twelve against the better

1351
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 5: schools on your schedule, it's.

1352
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 3: Called being the head of the committee. I think is

1353
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: is what it aid, as.

1354
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 5: It definitely doesn't hurt to have a little bit of

1355
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 5: juice in that regard.

1356
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: You're correct, as just Tod.

1357
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 3: How are you betting this tournament? Are you betting the

1358
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 3: odds to win the whole thing? Odds to go to

1359
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: the final four? Casinos have bracket pools, or that's just

1360
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 3: for us in the office. I don't know. You you

1361
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 3: tell me how you're betting this.

1362
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 5: You know, a couple of books have experimented with it,

1363
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 5: but they found that most people when they're filling out

1364
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 5: their brackets are going to do They're putting up a

1365
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 5: little bit of money to make a lot all the

1366
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 5: folks that try and throw their darts in hope that

1367
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 5: they're able to land the first perfect bracket and recorded history.

1368
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 5: But you do have a myriad of betting options. You

1369
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 5: can pick regional winners, you can pick yes no's on

1370
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 5: teams to get to the sweet sixteen over under on

1371
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 5: conference wins. We'll be available later in the week, and

1372
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 5: I think I'm as fascinated like anybody else to see

1373
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 5: what the over under is set for at the SEC

1374
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 5: knowing that they've had a record number of teams into

1375
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 5: the field, and it's a league that has to go

1376
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 5: out there and now perform with so many expectations around

1377
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 5: not just their power programs, but some of the teams

1378
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 5: that are mired in that mushy middle, or even a

1379
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 5: Texas that will get say kicked off in my opinion

1380
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 5: against the team handling from the Big East that was

1381
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 5: a relatively down conference by Big East standards.

1382
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Tom, how much do trends matter to you? For instance,

1383
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: saw this tonight.

1384
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Over the last eleven tournaments, the Big Ten five seeds

1385
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 2: are just three and six in five twelve matchups, and

1386
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 2: we've got two of them in this Big Dance Doe.

1387
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Trends like that matter to.

1388
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 3: You or no?

1389
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 5: Well, sometimes it suggests that a conference may or may

1390
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 5: not struggle with a particular seed line, whether they're overvalued

1391
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 5: or undervalued. But I think, like always, you have to

1392
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 5: identify the individual matchups and look at team A against

1393
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 5: Team B, factor in a little bit of previous history,

1394
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 5: but not fall in love with some of the trends

1395
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 5: that are out there when you're trying to not only

1396
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 5: fill out your brackets, but also trying to identify those

1397
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 5: winners and the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday games. From

1398
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 5: a betting perspective, that'll be out there because a lot

1399
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 5: of the teams that you're going to see showcase under

1400
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 5: those bright lights. The casual fan hasn't paid much attention to.

1401
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 5: They don't watch high point when they're going through their

1402
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 5: conference road to try and get here any of the

1403
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 5: sixteen seeds over some of the other giant killers that

1404
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 5: could be out there in that thirteen to fourteen line.

1405
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 3: Todd, the numbers are on your side though. You know,

1406
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 3: we were talking about this earlier about my Arizona team.

1407
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 3: They're a four seed, but they have a better chance

1408
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,919
Speaker 3: to win the championship than every three seed and four

1409
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 3: seed in the tournament. So there's got to be three

1410
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 3: and four seeds out are going to pay off pretty

1411
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 3: well if you want to pick up to go that far.

1412
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 5: You know, it's all about identifying some of the pass

1413
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 5: that are in various regions. I mean, if you're arcing

1414
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 5: under the assumption, aren'ty that Cooper Flagg won't be one

1415
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 5: hundred percent for Duke, then suddenly the eight to one

1416
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 5: or nine to one that's out there in Arizona to

1417
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 5: win the region or four to one in Alabama, or

1418
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 5: maybe even a little bit more of a long shot

1419
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 5: price on a Wisconsin or VCU somehow get a lot

1420
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 5: more intriguing. And I think that's what's so fascinating about it,

1421
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 5: because we do see odds on teams to win the

1422
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 5: national championship, you know, as far as when the season

1423
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 5: starts here, I guess I should say when the previous

1424
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 5: season ends. And then you'll get a team like Saint

1425
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 5: John's who saw their odds to get to the final

1426
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 5: four gep as low As right around two and a

1427
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 5: half three to one before the field was announced, and

1428
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 5: now you know what that road is going to look like,

1429
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 5: and that price tag is drifted out to plus six fifty.

1430
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 5: So sometimes the early bird gets the worm, and sometimes

1431
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 5: it's a little bit more helpful to identify some of

1432
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 5: these teams and how things are going to lay out.

1433
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 5: I think the one team that'll fascinate folks the most

1434
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 5: that's going to have a very difficult second round game,

1435
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 5: at least if you trust some of the advanced analytics

1436
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 5: sites out there, will be the Houston Cougars. Gonzaga listed

1437
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 5: as the third favorite to come out of the Midwest

1438
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 5: Regional at a price tag right around eat and a half.

1439
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 5: The one and the one thing we've seen from Houston

1440
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 5: in the past. If they struggle to score or go

1441
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 5: through prolonged droughts, Gonzaga has the offensive firepower to match them.

1442
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm just not sure Gonzaga could defend much better than

1443
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 5: some of the guys that you'll see playing on a

1444
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 5: Friday night at the YMCA. From this addition of Mark feezegroup.

1445
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Hey, you surprised with fourteen teams out of the SEC

1446
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,439
Speaker 2: from following you this year, does that shock you at all? Again,

1447
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 2: like you said, you're not a bracketologist, but just with

1448
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: the style of play and watching the league this year, no, really.

1449
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 5: It looked like it was a clear cut above everyone

1450
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 5: else when you see how these teams are battle tested

1451
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 5: on a gaming game in game out basis. You look

1452
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 5: at some of the non conference records. I know Oklahoma

1453
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 5: didn't exactly play murderers Row, but they took care of

1454
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 5: all the foes that weren't hailing from that SEC zip code.

1455
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 5: It's thirteen to zero to get into conference. So people

1456
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 5: look at those win loss records and I understand some

1457
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 5: of the frustration there. But the one thing that I

1458
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 5: felt confident, And when you look at this bracket is

1459
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 5: a lot of those teams that we thought were going

1460
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 5: to be on the outside looking in if they didn't

1461
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 5: win their one bid leagues team had gone out there

1462
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 5: and taken care of business. We've mentioned San Diego, We've

1463
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 5: mentioned High Point VCU didn't have to go through a

1464
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 5: sweaty selection Sunday if they came up short in their

1465
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 5: conference championship against George Mason. So it's always good when

1466
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 5: the most dominant teams from some of those smaller leagues

1467
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 5: get in because they win that auto bid. I think

1468
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,959
Speaker 5: it makes it a little bit easier for the power

1469
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 5: conferences to be well represented. And now the SEC with

1470
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 5: a giant target on their back. We'll see how these

1471
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 5: teams go out there and match up, but it's the

1472
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 5: SEC and a clear step down to some of the

1473
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 5: other leagues, the couple leagues that I have the most

1474
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 5: questions about the Big East being won because I think

1475
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 5: it's Saint John's and everybody else, and even with the

1476
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 5: Big Ten, you know, once you get past the top

1477
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 5: of the league, I'm not necessarily even sure I buy

1478
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 5: into Michigan State O than the coaching pedigree you've seen

1479
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 5: from Tom Izzo, because all of those Big ten teams,

1480
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 5: more so than the SEC, appear a little bit flawed.

1481
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 5: Made me most notably Maryland, that has an elite starting

1482
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 5: five but doesn't offer that much in the way of depth.

1483
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 3: All right, two things. One I've yelled in the Sweet sixteen.

1484
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 3: I also like liberty to win a game, so watch

1485
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 3: out for that, Todd. Also, Todd, I know you could

1486
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 3: do this in the NFL. You could do it in

1487
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: college football. Can I bet the Dodgers to go one

1488
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 3: sixty two and all to go undefeated? Or no?

1489
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: They won't.

1490
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: They won't take my.

1491
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 5: Money off any anybody, anybody that has worked their sought

1492
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 5: as a bookmaker would be more than happy to take

1493
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 5: your money, aren't he. I think the better question is

1494
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 5: do you think Dodgers return to American soil when they

1495
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 5: play their first game state side? If they're even undefeated,

1496
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 5: then after two games against the Cubs in Tokyo, what

1497
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:48,479
Speaker 5: is there.

1498
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 3: Over on their win total? What like one ten or something.

1499
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 3: It's got to be something crazy.

1500
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 5: No, it's not quite that high, but it is, of

1501
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 5: course the biggest win total a in Major League Baseball,

1502
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,959
Speaker 5: And when you're looking at Dodgers no in history either,

1503
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 5: because there have been teams in the past, with some

1504
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 5: Yankee teams that have been higher than this. Are the

1505
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 5: Dodgers right now widely available sitting at one oh four

1506
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 5: and a half.

1507
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 3: That's a steal, that's guaranteed.

1508
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: I hope you're yeah.

1509
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 5: I'm not sure guaranteed to be the word that I

1510
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 5: would use to describe it. But if you're that optimistic,

1511
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: one oh four and a half widely available out there,

1512
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 5: and you know what, Arnie, if you really want to

1513
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 5: try and live dangerously, some books offering yes nos on

1514
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 5: teams that win one hundred and ten plus games, the

1515
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 5: Dodgers check in right around two to one. If you

1516
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 5: think they'll need that.

1517
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 3: Threshold, you know, Todd, I've heard people say that they're

1518
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 3: the best team in baseball history.

1519
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 5: Well, we'll find out. That's why they play the games.

1520
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 5: And if everything was one on paper, my life would

1521
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 5: be a hell of a lot easier. But there is

1522
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 5: no doubt when you look at that Dodgers roster from

1523
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 5: top to bottom, both from positional players, starting pitching and

1524
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 5: in the bullpen, there's no excuse for them not to

1525
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 5: go back to back. But weird things tend to happen

1526
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 5: in short series when you get into September October.

1527
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 2: Good So thanks tot, have a great week, buddy, can't

1528
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: wait to listen to the pod.

1529
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 5: Always a pleasure, gentlemen, enjoy the madness from sixty four

1530
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 5: were down to sixteen.

1531
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: Happy March Todd Furman Bet the Board podcast, check it out,

1532
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 2: Get Smart, Get Rich kids?

1533
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: All right, Steve de Sager is in the house with

1534
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: what's trending? What's going on?

1535
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 7: Steve, didn't the Dodgers have eleven pictures on the injured

1536
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 7: list by the end of the drest season. They were

1537
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 7: in the World Series and had literally run out of starters.

1538
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 7: They had to have Walker Buehler, who's no longer a Dodger,

1539
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 7: come in and close or else they would have had

1540
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 7: to have an all bullpen game after that.

1541
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 3: Well, you know, by the way, speaking about running out

1542
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 3: of starters, what the hell's going on with the Mavericks

1543
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 3: that they thought maybe four fifth games?

1544
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:33,920
Speaker 4: What that?

1545
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,120

1690
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,000

1693
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean there's some guts in the first three rounds,

1694
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: but I did the thing that you liked it. I

1695
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 2: chicken out after the third round. You know, you get

1696
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:37,120

01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 7: a Division I program until now, and amazingly, this weekend,

1729
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 7: UCSD both its men's and women's teams made the tournament,

1730
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 7: first school ever to have both make the tourney in

1731
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 7: the same year when it's their first year of eligibility.

1732
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 7: They each won the Big West Tournament finals this weekend,

1733
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 7: So congrats. They're one of the four teams headed to

1734
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 7: the men's tournament first time.

1735
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 3: That's not the same school that Brad Holland used to coaches.

1736
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 7: He coached University of San Diego private school.

1737
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha, I gotta mixed up.

1738
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,560
Speaker 7: You see San Diego of course, state school, cousin of UCLA,

1739
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 7: and you see Irvine and the rest.

1740
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: You see.

1741
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,840
Speaker 7: Irvine, by the way, just missed the NCAA's had a

1742
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 7: good Big West season. It is a top seed in

1743
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 7: the NIT, but SIU Edwardsville won its conference.

1744
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: To let's go.

1745
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 7: They are headed to the NCAA's for the first time.

1746
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 7: We'll play Houston High Point headed for the first time.

1747
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 7: They'll play Purdue. I'll get to them in the moment.

1748
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 7: In a moment, and Omaha headed to the NCAA's for

1749
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 7: the first time. Saint John's there opening opponent.

1750
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: Allow me to have an army moment.

1751
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 2: Here, Steve, my first ever college basketball game I ever

1752
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 2: went to Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville.

1753
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 3: Oh, get on here.

1754
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's literally ten minutes from where I grew up.

1755
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 2: It's right, it's right by Wood River, Illinois. We went

1756
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 2: with a family members of two guys on the team,

1757
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 2: like they were brothers, and I talked about four other

1758
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 2: guys the whole time, like these guys were awesome. My

1759
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 2: dad was so mad at me on the drive home.

1760
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 2: It was crazy.

1761
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 7: So in the second round when they play Gonzaga, do

1762
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 7: you have a theory on? Okay, we're moving on in

1763
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 7: the Midwest Region. Four seed Perdue, if it can win

1764
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 7: its two games this week, would be playing in Indianapolis

1765
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,600
Speaker 7: for the Sweet sixteen. And they're a four seed, that

1766
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 7: would be they would be playing about an hour away

1767
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 7: from the school.

1768
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1769
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 6: Wow.

1770
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 7: Louisville, which is tied for second place in the ACC,

1771
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 7: plays in Lexington, Kentucky this week. The Rivals arena less

1772
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,799
Speaker 7: than eighty miles from campus. First round Louisville against Creighton's

1773
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 7: second round maybe against Auburn. Will Auburn be a road

1774
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 7: team this weekend? This next weekend, we'll see Michigan State

1775
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 7: is in its twenty seventh straight NCAA tournament. Seeded second,

1776
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 7: It will face America East champion Bryant in its opener

1777
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 7: that's late Friday in Cleveland. Saint John's is going to

1778
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 7: open in Providence, where Rick Patino coached in the nineteen eighties. Course,

1779
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 7: by this time he's coached pretty much everywhere, yet he

1780
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,679
Speaker 7: has his record sixth different school into the tournament, also

1781
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 7: in Providence. You reference this earlier, John Calipari and Arkansas

1782
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 7: faced Bill self and Kansas Thursday night. The winner likely

1783
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 7: plays against Patino and Saint John's in the second round next.

1784
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 3: A good group of coaches up here, Yeah, Providence.

1785
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 7: And I think you're right. It will drive up the prices.

1786
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 3: Oh, it's going to be the most sought after first

1787
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:44,799
Speaker 3: round ticket, I imagine, even.

1788
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,799
Speaker 7: Though not one of them is going to actually attempt

1789
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 7: a shot, just for that exactly. Houston could face a

1790
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 7: second round matchup against Gonzaga, which is making its twenty

1791
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 7: sixth straight trip to the tourney. Zaggs open against Georgia.

1792
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 7: Duke's going to open in Raleigh on Friday, just twenty

1793
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 7: five miles away from campus, but they earned it even

1794
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 7: without their superstar, Cooper Flag and his sprained ankle. Over

1795
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 7: the weekend they won the ACC Tournament. Duke could be

1796
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 7: playing Baylor or Mississippi State there near campus in the

1797
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 7: second round next Sunday. The ACC down this year. They

1798
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 7: only have three other schools in the NCAA field now.

1799
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 7: Duke's a one seed. Houston is, Florida is and so

1800
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 7: is Auburn, a team that lost at Duke in December.

1801
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 7: But again Auburn the stronger conference schedule end results, North

1802
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 7: Carolina was the last team in It will face San

1803
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 7: Diego State on Tuesday night, and then that winner will

1804
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 7: play Friday against Old Miss. The tar Heels are an

1805
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 7: eleven seed this year, their worst seeding since that began

1806
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 7: in nineteen seventy.

1807
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 3: No pushback on them getting in on Twitter is just

1808
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 3: it's crazy. It's about as bad as I've ever seen it.

1809
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 7: Legitimate pushback Sean Farnham, who used to work here. Yeah,

1810
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 7: he thought it was a typo that and then said, well,

1811
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 7: this is why we don't need to expand the field.

1812
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 7: North Carolina's record, as you've mentioned, against the so called

1813
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 7: Quad one opponents, the best of the Country one and twelve. However,

1814
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,879
Speaker 7: Carolina was eight to zero against the Quad two schools.

1815
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 7: Oh a question mark. Texas lost fifteen games this year

1816
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 7: and still made it in this ties for the most

1817
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 7: losses by an at large team to earn a bid. Wow,

1818
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 7: Texas against Xavier Wednesday night. That winner will then play Illinois.

1819
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 7: So yes, the SEC has a record fourteen of the

1820
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 7: sixty eight teams in the NCAA field, Texas is one

1821
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 7: of them. You know, really have this new point consider?

1822
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 7: Oh yeah sure Texas? Yeah sure. Oh and Oklahoma's got

1823
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 7: up against Connecticut. You know, Florida if it wins in

1824
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,680
Speaker 7: the first round would be facing the winner of Oklahoma

1825
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,879
Speaker 7: Connecticut in Raleigh. Florida won the SEC Attorney today, beating Tennessee.

1826
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 7: The Gators in top ten matchups this season five and two.

1827
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 7: I mentioned it earlier an SEC school, as strong as

1828
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 7: the conference was this year, still has not won the

1829
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 7: national title in men's hoops since Kentucky in twenty twelve.

1830
01:19:58,560 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 7: It's been a while.

1831
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: Which is this year from my beloved SEC to Sager

1832
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,200

Speaker 1: The scenes coming out here in just a bit.

1853
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 3: What do we take one of our listeners and make

1854
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 3: them our board up? How about that? Well, I mean

1855
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 3: like Jason B. Diamond or but I mean alur Prop

1856
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 3: or whatever.

1857
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 2: You have to live in La number one unless you

1858
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 2: want to like fly in every game day. And by

1859
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 2: getting down, I mean when our show's on, you got

1860
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 2: to pay him. I mean, where where's your budget?

1861
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 3: Coming from Oh, we got a big budget for this show.

1862
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 8: You know that?

1863
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I know that, but I just I mean,

1864
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 2: you're You're kind of the one that's opening up your mouth.

1865
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 2: You just got to take a little bit of a

1866
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 2: pay cut.

1867
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 3: You make so much money.

1868
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: Well I can't. You're at quarterback as I apologize. Do

1869
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: you want okay? Question? Yeah?

1870
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear Bubba Cunningham explain how North

1871
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 2: Carolina got in? Are you in the mindset where you

1872
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:46,560
Speaker 2: just you don't need to hear it?

1873
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: You don't?

1874
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 2: I do.

1875
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 3: I do want to hear it, and I also want

1876
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:50,600
Speaker 3: to hear it. I'm not going to get into the

1877
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 3: women's tournament. But was Don Staley complaining that she was

1878
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 3: the number two overall?

1879
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: I like Don Staley lot, but that's one of the

1880
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 1: dumbest things I've ever heard in my life. I mean,

1881
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: I love I love her. I'll go to the mattresses

1882
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:05,600
Speaker 1: for her man, but come on.

1883
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 3: But there were two coaches that were complaining about that, one.

1884
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: Her and Lindsay Gottlieb.

1885
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 2: Lindsay Gottlieb, the head coach at USC, was mad that

1886
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:13,759
Speaker 2: they were the fourth number one that they got Yukon

1887
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 2: in there.

1888
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 3: They have a little bit of a beef because they

1889
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 3: beat used twice.

1890
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think us he has a beef. I think

1891
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 2: don Staley really doesn't. But I understand where she's coming from.

1892
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't. It's like, okay, fair enough, but I listen.

1893
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 2: I understand that sometimes whenever we go in depth like

1894
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 2: this and the women's bracket, people lose their mind. But

1895
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 2: I'll say, I think it's cool to see the passion

1896
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 2: there right where there's enough people that can I guess

1897
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 2: you could say, from an educational perspective, realistically debate this

1898
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 2: and not just be throwing it out there. I think

1899
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 2: that's fun. I think that's good for the women's basketball tournament.

1900
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 2: I think it's good for women's basketball in general. Now

1901
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 2: here's my man, Bubba cunning Him, my good friend, Bubba Cunningham,

1902
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 2: and explaining how you and see.

1903
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,839
Speaker 10: God in You are the athletic director of the University

1904
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 10: of North Carolina in your day job, so it's going

1905
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 10: to be a natural question for people who don't know

1906
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 10: all those procedures to ask whether North Carolina may have

1907
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 10: gotten a little bit of an advantage that their ad

1908
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 10: is a chair. So I'm going to invite you to

1909
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 10: answer that question and then maybe if Keith could shed

1910
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 10: some light on that discussion.

1911
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 6: Well, thanks Seth, and obviously I'm going to defer that

1912
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 6: to Keith, but all the policies and procedures were followed,

1913
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 6: and Keith can address exactly how North Carolina was discussed

1914
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:34,719
Speaker 6: because I was not in a room.

1915
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,120
Speaker 1: For any of that. Yeah, thanks Baba and Seth. I

1916
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: appreciate the question.

1917
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,560
Speaker 4: As the vice chair, I managed all the conversations that

1918
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,680
Speaker 4: we had about North Carolina, and we had quite a few.

1919
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 4: Our policies require the ADA of any school to refuse

1920
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 4: themselves and actually leave the room for those discussions, and

1921
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,560
Speaker 4: they're not allowed to participate any vote as well, So

1922
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 4: we followed those had lots of discussions about North Carolina.

1923
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 4: You know, Saturday night, we took our final vote and

1924
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 4: we voted in four teams in the field on Saturday night,

1925
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 4: and we had a contingency vote and the contingency vote

1926
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 4: that was the last team in the field and it

1927
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 4: was based on Memphis and UAB.

1928
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: If Memphis won that game.

1929
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: Then that was going to free up the spot in

1930
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:21,879
Speaker 4: the tournament, and that was going to be North Carolina.

1931
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 4: If UAB had won, then Memphis was going to be

1932
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 4: in the tournament. UA B would have been in the

1933
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 4: tournament in North Carolina would have been the first team out.

1934
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 2: So, by the way, that was Keith Gill, the assistant

1935
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 2: whatever he just said about passing the buck.

1936
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: Uh, well, I mean that's what I was gonna ask.

1937
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Can you feel better about it now?

1938
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 4: No?

1939
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't.

1940
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 3: You're right, I could have done without that. It was

1941
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 3: passing the buck. Sure, you had to recuse yourself. You

1942
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 3: couldn't hear what was going on. That's why you talked

1943
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 3: it over when you got back from Chick Foy or

1944
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 3: wherever you went for lunch or whatever. I don't know

1945
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 3: what was done Sunday are so they didn't go to

1946
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 3: I don't know then. I mean, you don't think they

1947
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: talked these things out. You're crazy if you think that's true.

1948
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 3: I don't like the way the whole thing's handled. It

1949
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 3: just has a bad optic to it. Everybody complaining the experts.

1950
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 3: What was it that West Virginia was on one hundred

1951
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 3: and eleven mock brackets out of one hundred and eleven

1952
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 3: one hundred percent and everybody got it wrong because they

1953
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 3: didn't make it. It's just amazing that everybody could have

1954
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 3: West Virginia in and they lost their best player, the

1955
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 3: coach's son, for like what the better part of three months.

1956
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: I remember.

1957
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,400
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, he was out the second game that

1958
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 3: Arizona played them. Arizona got clabbered by them the first game.

1959
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 3: We beat them the second game without the coach's son.

1960
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 3: But I just I just thought it was it's just

1961
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 3: a bad optic with this guy. And why am I

1962
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 3: not on the committee? That's what I want to know.

1963
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 3: Why you have to be part of a school. It

1964
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 3: should be somebody like me who is an Arizona fan.

1965
01:25:58,080 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 3: But you know I don't work for the school. You

1966
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 3: know you got you got Yale advancing to the Sweet sixteen, right, Yes,

1967
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 3: I do.

1968
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: What's her head coach's name, Arnie Spaniard, No, I don't.

1969
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 1: That's that's why you're not on the committee.

1970
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 2: Arnie.

1971
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 1: You don't watch basketball enough. Man.

1972
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 2: They don't know all the good like they know all

1973
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 2: the coaches, They know all the coaches, they know all

1974
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 2: the players.

1975
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: They get and if they don't, they get cheat sheets.

1976
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: So maybe there's your in right.

1977
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 3: Now, trying to forgot con Lisa Rice watches more in

1978
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 3: sports than I do.

1979
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 2: That was the okay, Well, anyway, that's that's Bubba Cunningham's explanation.

1980
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 2: You can bite if you want. If not, you know,

1981
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 2: that's that's where we are right now. It's they're in

1982
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 2: and nothing you can do about it. I'm not gonna lie.

1983
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 2: I was shocked. I was shocked. I didn't I didn't

1984
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 2: get to listen to it live. I didn't get to

1985
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 2: listen to Aaron and Dan Bayer break it down. I

1986
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 2: was driving and when I got home and I sat

1987
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: down and I went back and I watched it.

1988
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It was an oh.

1989
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: And then knowing Bubba right, knowing that it was on

1990
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 2: North Carolina a D it was very uncomfortable, very so.

1991
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that explanation makes you feel better or not,

1992
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 2: but I do. I gotta tell you something. I think

1993
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 2: the funniest thing ever. It's like you and I if

1994
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 2: we're having to explain something and one of us realizes,

1995
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 2: if it's me, it's something related to Oklahoma, if it's you,

1996
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 2: it's something related to Arizona, and you're like, well, I

1997
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 2: can't talk about this.

1998
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: So here's Chris.

1999
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, right right, can you imagine that everybody in

2000
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 3: the committee voted for North Carolina even though they were

2001
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 3: one and twelve against Quad one teams, that everybody had

2002
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 3: the same opinion, we gotta get we gotta get North Carolina.

2003
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 3: And that's just so wrong.

2004
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: What do you make of Eric's submission of the show

2005
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 2: tonight on X he rights North Carolina did get a

2006
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: benefit of a did get the benefit of tough year

2007
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 2: long scheduling. Their net ranking was thirty seven, West Virginia

2008
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 2: fifty one, Ohio State forty one, in Indiana fifty four.

2009
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 3: Is there a big difference between forty one and thirty seven?

2010
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 3: I don't think so. What was Ohio State against Quad

2011
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 3: one opponents? I believe they were like one in nine.

2012
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 1: Could it be Ohio State?

2013
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2014
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 1: I think they were better than that.

2015
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so why didn't they get it in West Virginia. Yeah,

2016
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of a difference between fifty one

2017
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 3: and thirty seven, but West Virginia much better. Quad onn wins.

2018
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 1: Ohio State six and eleven versus.

2019
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow, So there you go. They should have bought

2020
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 3: be made it.

2021
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 2: But they were three and four versus Quad two, so

2022
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 2: they have losses to Iowa, Northwestern you know what, Hitsburg.

2023
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 3: You know what's really blowney, And what's that is the

2024
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 3: games on Sunday. We should just stop having the championship

2025
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 3: games on Sunday. It's just a waste of time. They've

2026
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 3: already voted. In matter of fact, didn't they have like

2027
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 3: most of it done by Saturday night? Sure, well, they

2028
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 3: just told you that they took two different votes. Yeah,

2029
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 3: but I mean I get their chick flight. Chick flight

2030
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 3: on Sunday. It's it's ridiculous to have any games on Sunday.

2031
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 3: Have it all done by Saturday night. You wake up

2032
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 3: Sunday and just just debate the whole thing, and then

2033
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 3: you have this selection process at like three in the

2034
01:28:58,960 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 3: afternoon or something.

2035
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 2: Well, I know this much. We're coming to you live

2036
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 2: from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrack dot com will

2039
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 2: Tyrac dot com the way tire buying should be.

2040
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 3: You know, my ten thousand dollars is at steak. I

2041
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,679
Speaker 3: picked the Arizona to way far way to the next

2042
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 3: to win the championship. If I bet that now I

2043
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 3: get fifty eight thousand dollars back.

2044
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: But I will say this much, You're still alive. You're

2045
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: still still God still can do it. So here's here's

2046
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: the question I have.

2047
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: I you know, I try to be overly creative and

2048
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 2: I try to steer clear of like the low hanging

2049
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 2: fruit of sports talk radio. But I do kind of

2050
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 2: want to go through the bracket? Does that make me

2051
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,640
Speaker 2: a hack? Can we do that next segment? I mean,

2052
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,000
Speaker 2: will you embrace my suck and allow us to just

2053
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 2: go through the bracket? Doesn't mean you have to cheat

2054
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 2: off me, doesn't mean well, I guess I should be

2055
01:29:57,800 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 2: cheating off you.

2056
01:29:58,479 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're cheating off me as much.

2057
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 1: But would you be okay if we did that internet segment?

2058
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 3: Or sorry?

2059
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: Is that below us?

2060
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 2: Nor? You know?

2061
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 3: Again, like I said, it's a lot better when I

2062
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 3: have a lot of upsets. And how was it seth

2063
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Davis to that like every game was an upset? I

2064
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 3: got this, Dame, but I got this.

2065
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 1: And then he ended up with like four one seeds

2066
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 1: in the final four. Yeah.

2067
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 2: The only the only guy on that CBS panel that

2068
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 2: didn't have like a one or two seed was Clark

2069
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,559
Speaker 2: Kellogg and he had Clemson in the final four five seeds.

2070
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 3: I felt for that Clark Kellogg commercial. I thought they

2071
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 3: were coming back because he was like, all right, we're

2072
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 3: gonna do this next bracket and then they like froze up.

2073
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh no, what's going on. I can't believe

2074
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 3: this is happening right in the middle of the selection thing.

2075
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 2: But don't make me start don't make me laugh because

2076
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 2: I start coughing. Someone brought kettle corn popcorn in here

2077
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 2: now eating it like crazy, Yeah, but it is.

2078
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 3: I totally thought that was like real. I didn't and

2079
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 3: then they went to the thing. I'm like, oh, it's

2080
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 3: always just they got me.

2081
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 2: So if we're gonna go ahead and do the bracket

2082
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 2: inter next segment, let's hit a couple of other things

2083
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 2: on the Roman Numeral rundown. Okay, So I would like

2084
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:08,560
Speaker 2: to talk about Roman Numeral six because technically this is

2085
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 2: our first show since.

2086
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:12,680
Speaker 1: What is it our first show since the start of

2087
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: the NFL league year. Wasn't that this week?

2088
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 2: Or did I dream that this week? So we have

2089
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 2: signings everywhere. Round two of signings ended up with Najie

2090
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 2: Harris on the Chargers.

2091
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 4: Ye.

2092
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup is a see wait, we got Raheem Moster

2093
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 2: with Raiders with pickup, I thought, yeah, I think they're

2094
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 2: going to draft a running back. Still, well, but that's

2095
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 2: still a good backup. Joey Bosa is now a member

2096
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 2: of the Bills.

2097
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 3: It looks like the one year signing for that, that's

2098
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:46,759
Speaker 3: a tremendous pickup.

2099
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:49,800
Speaker 1: I thought so too. I thought that was a great sign.

2100
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 2: Now, when your GM has to come out as soon

2101
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 2: as you sign him and say yeah, we got a

2102
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 2: plan for his injuries, You're like, well, what are you

2103
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,680
Speaker 2: doing right now now? We talk about this a lot

2104
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 2: on Friday Night on The Plank Show, Arnie. I don't

2105
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 2: know if you've heard it, primetime listening time one to

2106
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 2: four am, full time.

2107
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 1: So I can't you never miss an episode, dude, absolutely.

2108
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 2: But the crew and I we were talking a lot

2109
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: about how I'm kind of I've been sucked into the

2110
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers saga.

2111
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: You know, I hear Doug Whaley and all these people,

2112
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: They're like they're holding them hostage.

2113
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 2: He's like, no, you know, I just if you feel

2114
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 2: like Aaron Rodgers is holding you hostage, move on to

2115
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 2: your next option. I mean, it's just the dumbest thing

2116
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 2: I've ever heard in my life. So in your opinion,

2117
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 2: you know, I what have you made of this last week?

2118
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 2: And do you think Aaron Rodgers is inevitably going to

2119
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 2: be a Pittsburgh Steeler or a New York Giant?

2120
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 3: Well, just I mean a couple of the signings, Well Aaron, okay,

2121
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers thing. I don't think too many teams are

2122
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 3: wanting him. That's why it's dragging on this song. I

2123
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 3: really think people are passive.

2124
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 1: Well, he has two he has the Giants and the

2125
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Steelers who allegedly won him.

2126
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 3: Right, That's that's about it.

2127
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 7: Apparently waiting on the Vikings as well.

2128
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 3: And yeah, good luck to you. It's not that Rogers

2129
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 3: is holding them up. I don't think I think they're

2130
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 3: holding Rogers up. He'll go for whoever wants him, and

2131
01:33:12,479 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 3: I think that's the situation going right there. By the way,

2132
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 3: I do like Miami's backup quarterback, Chris. I know you

2133
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 3: didn't bring that up, but I'm not kidding around. Zach

2134
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 3: Wilson signed with the Miami Dolphins. I actually like that,

2135
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 3: after all the garbage, we've had a backup quarterback just

2136
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:30,439
Speaker 3: in case two of goes down. I feel a little

2137
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 3: bit better with him as our backup out there.

2138
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: What are you being serious right now?

2139
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 3: Iam being serious?

2140
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 1: So you feel better with Zach Wilson as your backup?

2141
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, than I do with Snoop or whoever?

2142
01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: That was why.

2143
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 3: I just think he's a better show. No, I can't

2144
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 3: show you my work. I cheated up the guy next

2145
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 3: to me, but I watch it and know the thing.

2146
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,160
Speaker 3: I actually think he's a better quarterback. I can't show

2147
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 3: you my work because there's no.

2148
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 4: With you.

2149
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same thing with Daniel Joe. I think the

2150
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:04,480
Speaker 3: Colts had a grade signing one year for Daniel Gaims.

2151
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 1: And everyone hates him too. I'll say this much. I'll

2152
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 1: say this much.

2153
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 2: I personally am a big time believer in giving quarterbacks

2154
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 2: second chances and sometimes, in the case of guys like Baker,

2155
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, yep, Geno Smith, third or fourth chances.

2156
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 1: Arnie, have you listen.

2157
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 2: I'm so I've been deep needy in the Gino Smith

2158
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: mess because I think he's awesome. Now, have you really

2159
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,599
Speaker 2: looked at his career? I mean, have you taken time

2160
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 2: to just look at his season by season? No, dude

2161
01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: like disappeared from the league for like six years as

2162
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 2: a backup.

2163
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 1: I mean just no. I think it was with the

2164
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: Chargers for a season. Do you remember that? No, No

2165
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: one does.

2166
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 2: So I'm not ready to give up on anyone, which

2167
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 2: is why I keep selling people. Don't give up on

2168
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 2: Derek Carr New Orleans if he stays there. Don't give

2169
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:56,360
Speaker 2: up on Daniel Jones.

2170
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 4: Right.

2171
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 2: People are talking him up potentially in Indy because we've

2172
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,639
Speaker 2: seen what Amazon, We've seen what Baker has done, go back,

2173
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 2: we saw it Rich Cannon did, Look what Gino Smith did.

2174
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,880
Speaker 2: If you got some talent, I think, if you get

2175
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 2: the right coach, and I think Mike McDaniel's a really

2176
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:12,599
Speaker 2: good quarterback coach.

2177
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 1: I think he got a chance to unlock something. So

2178
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 1: you know what, I agree with you. Yeah, I like it.

2179
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,840
Speaker 3: Well, it's better than what we've had. It's gone to

2180
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 3: the point where I was like, well we're we are

2181
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 3: medically lost every time Tua was not playing. So I

2182
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 3: was like, just feel a little bit better that we

2183
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 3: have Zach Wilson back.

2184
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 2: There By the way, Ian Roddy, will you please make

2185
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 2: sure we mark the tape since I mean, as curious

2186
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 2: can tell you, we roll tape on everything and on

2187
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,320
Speaker 2: the reel to reel, get the little razor blade and

2188
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 2: get the tape to tape together so we can remember

2189
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 2: this moment whenever Arnie said he loved the idea of

2190
01:35:47,479 --> 01:35:49,840
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. So in week three when Zach Wilson is

2191
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 2: in the game and he sucks that, Arnie's ready to

2192
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,520
Speaker 2: fire him, and I just want to make sure we'll

2193
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 2: be able to Yeah, I appreciate it.

2194
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 3: If he's in week three, there's something seriously that has

2195
01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 3: gone wrong with Dolphins.

2233
01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:48,800
Speaker 3: I had to print like about four different versions. Why well,

2234
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 3: one that came out too small, the other one was

2235
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 3: too big, and a multo printed like half, and then

2236
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 3: I always have to go to like the New York

2237
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 3: Post one that seems to be semi okay. I still

2238
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 3: have to squint in some of the the small riding.

2239
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 3: But that's the best thing.

2240
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,639
Speaker 2: It's it's old age, all right. Let's start the upper

2241
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:11,320
Speaker 2: left hand corner. I believe it's called the Atlanta Region Arnie, Yes,

2242
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 2: South Region, South Atlanta to twenty two, twenty one, whatever

2243
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:18,880
Speaker 2: it takes. I've got Auburn and Louisville in my first

2244
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 2: second round matchup.

2245
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: That's who I have.

2246
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 3: Two gonna be a good matchup. That's gonna be a

2247
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:27,759
Speaker 3: good game in Lexington. So obviously the crowd is gonna

2248
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:31,000
Speaker 3: be behind Louisville Auburn still though, I have him advancing,

2249
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 3: But that's gonna be a great second round matchup.

2250
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 1: All right, who do you have on the bottom part

2251
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:34,680
Speaker 1: of that?

2252
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:38,679
Speaker 3: I have Michigan. Excuse me, UCSD going up against Yale.

2253
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 3: So those are two of my seven upsets in the

2254
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 3: first round, with Yale winning going to the sweet sixteen.

2255
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 2: I've got cal San Diego as well. I have no

2256
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 2: idea why, you know, I always give you a crap.

2257
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, who's their head coach. I was sitting here

2258
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 2: during the break and I'm like, I don't even know

2259
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 2: who the UC Sandy.

2260
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:57,679
Speaker 3: I came up with Brad Howean, but that was University

2261
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 3: of San Diego, so a good point. Some points for that.

2262
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 2: I think it's Eric Olan if you were just wondering.

2263
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,719
Speaker 2: And I've got them moving on to play Texas a andum.

2264
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 2: Texas Atum is really good. Okay, don't sleep on Buzz

2265
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:12,679
Speaker 2: William's crew. And I've got Auburn versus U see Sandy

2266
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 2: a coach, So I'm kind of like you. I don't

2267
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 2: have necessarily a massive amount of upsets, but I really

2268
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 2: like the thirteen seed there, all right, the bottom bottom

2269
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:22,839
Speaker 2: part of that South bracket.

2270
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: Who do you have?

2271
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 3: H North Carolina have beating San Diego State by the

2272
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 3: way in the playing game, and then beating Old Miss,

2273
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 3: even though Ole Miss is a good team. Good so

2274
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 3: I do have a North Carolina winning a couple of games.

2275
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:37,560
Speaker 3: I am on the Iowa State bandwagon. I would have

2276
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 3: had them gone a little bit further, but I have

2277
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 3: them mosing to Michigan State. But I have North Carolina

2278
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,679
Speaker 3: and Iowa State coming out of that the first two games.

2279
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:50,719
Speaker 2: So you're not worried at all about Kashawn Gilbert missing.

2280
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 3: I know it's it's gonna be tough, and then maybe

2281
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 3: you want to go ahead and take Lipscomb, but Lipscomb's

2282
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 3: still a fourteen point FAI underdog in that one.

2283
01:39:58,200 --> 01:39:58,479
Speaker 2: Is it not?

2284
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 4: Or what?

2285
01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 2: No, it's so let's just finish out, finish out the South. Okay,

2286
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 2: I've got Ole miss playing Iowa State as well. Who

2287
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 2: do you have in the bottom part of the bracket.

2288
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 2: I got Mexico and Michigan State. Great matchup with Marquette

2289
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 2: in New Mexico. One of the better first round matchups.

2290
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:17,439
Speaker 2: Second three of the tournament. I have New Mexico. I

2291
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 2: know Marquette has been playing some good bat some great basketball.

2292
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I picked them to win

2293
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 2: their conference tournament.

2294
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 3: They fell short they started off, so that's a great

2295
01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 3: first round matchup. I don't know the line in front

2296
01:40:28,520 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 3: of me on that one.

2297
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:30,160
Speaker 1: But which one is it?

2298
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:34,799
Speaker 3: New Mexico and Marquette. I actually think that New Mexico

2299
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 3: may be favorite, and that I could be wrong, but

2300
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 3: that's that's a great Marquette minus four. Oh, that's a

2301
01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 3: good one.

2302
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 6: I like that.

2303
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: Yep, yep uh. And so then I got Old Michigan State.

2304
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, Brian is a good team. Don't

2305
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 3: sleep on them. Not that they'll pull off the episode,

2306
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 3: it could be a good you know.

2307
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Teams.

2308
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:57,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, the America East. I've seen them before. They're not

2309
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 3: a bad team, seriously, so watch for them. But I

2310
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 3: got Michigan State going ahead and winning that one. That

2311
01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,719
Speaker 3: I got Florida, and you know I took you Kono

2312
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,879
Speaker 3: over Oklahoma just because.

2313
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 2: Old stop for a second time. Who do you have

2314
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 2: in your regional final? Michigan State and Auburn.

2315
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 3: Michigan State and Iowa State in the Auburn and Michigan State.

2316
01:41:20,920 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Okay, good, okay, let's move on down to the bottom

2317
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: part of the bracket. Go go ahead.

2318
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,640
Speaker 2: This would be San Francisco or the what is this

2319
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 2: the Midwest? The West, the West West. Sorry, Florida's too strong,

2320
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:32,560
Speaker 2: there's not going to be an upset there. I do

2321
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 2: have Connecticut being your Oklahoma team, but that's a that's

2322
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:37,799
Speaker 2: a good, good first rob matchup.

2323
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:40,720
Speaker 3: Connecticut, I think is a four point favorite in that one.

2324
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 3: Did you know that Colorado State's a two and a

2325
01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 3: f point favorite. They're good over Memphis.

2326
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 2: They should be. They're good. They're gonna beat Memphis. I've

2327
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 2: got Colorado State beat Memphis.

2328
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:55,879
Speaker 3: That's and Maryland Grand Canyon. You know, before the pairings

2329
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 3: came out, I was gonna say I'm going deep with Maryland.

2330
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Good teams, strong team, like everything about him. Don't like

2331
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 3: that first round matchup against Grand Canyon either, But I

2332
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 3: did take Maryland in that one. But that's a great

2333
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 3: first round matchup Maryland Grant Canyon, and also Memphis and

2334
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:16,880
Speaker 3: Colorado State.

2335
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 2: All right, so I have Oklahoma moving on to play

2336
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 2: Maryland in that Sweet sixteen. Who do you have on

2337
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 2: the bottom part? Florida and Maryland. I jumped on the

2338
01:42:24,920 --> 01:42:27,880
Speaker 2: Bodom part. I jumped on Drake like everybody else too.

2339
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:30,799
Speaker 2: I've been watching them for a while now, good for years.

2340
01:42:31,560 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 3: Buddy of mine used to be their play by play

2341
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:38,559
Speaker 3: guy before he passed away. Love Texas Tech. I mean,

2342
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 3: I've seen them in the Big Twelve A bunch, good team,

2343
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 3: really good team. I think they can go far. I

2344
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 3: like Arkansas over Kansas. I have no confidence in Kansas whatsoever.

2345
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:52,640
Speaker 3: And I'm on the Saint John's bandwagon.

2346
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 1: I like JT Topping a lot. He's in Texas Tech standout.

2347
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 1: I think he was named both the player and Newcomer

2348
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,519
Speaker 1: of the Year. Is that right? From the Big Twelve?

2349
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 1: Not too shabby?

2350
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,639
Speaker 2: But you want to mention play But that's my guy,

2351
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 2: Jeff Hackson to play by play voice at Tech. So

2352
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 2: I've got Tech moving on to play Saint John's.

2353
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I have that too.

2354
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, you filed out to me obviously, right.

2355
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 2: I do have Kansas beating Arkansas. I just I don't

2356
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 2: feel good about that around game. So the regional final,

2357
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 2: I've got Florida Saint John's.

2358
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:24,600
Speaker 1: Is that what you have?

2359
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:27,600
Speaker 3: I have Florida Saint John's also, obviously you copied.

2360
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:27,560
Speaker 4: Me on that.

2361
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 2: So what's so that on the left side of the bracket?

2362
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 2: Do we both have Auburn and Florida? In the final four?

2363
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 1: You got Michigan State, don't you.

2364
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 3: I have Michigan State and Saint John's.

2365
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 1: There you go. I've got Auburn in Florida. So let's

2366
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 1: get to say when.

2367
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:46,599
Speaker 3: That's when you make the that's shift and you end

2368
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 3: up winning, just start cheating up, is what you're doing.

2369
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 2: All Right, We'll get the saga in here to get

2370
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 2: an update, and then we'll get the right side of

2371
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 2: the bracket and we'll finish off. We got Newark, we

2372
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 2: got so that would be what the East and Midwest

2373
01:43:57,400 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 2: to get to. But first, Steven Sager's in the house

2374
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:00,240
Speaker 2: with what's trending, and.

2375
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 7: You mentioned Colorado State basketball, which won the Mountain West.

2376
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 7: They had started the season five and five. Since then

2377
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:09,799
Speaker 7: twenty and four, wow, and a lot of blowout wins

2378
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 7: in recent weeks, including twice getting wins over Boise State.

2379
01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,760
Speaker 7: It's the reason that Boise State is not going to

2380
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,240
Speaker 7: the NCAA Tournament. They were one of the clubs that

2381
01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 7: just missed it, like Indiana and West Virginia. But North

2382
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 7: Carolina's in. They were the last team in. They'll face

2383
01:44:25,040 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 7: San Diego State on Tuesday nights. That winner will then

2384
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 7: play Friday against Old Miss. Texas is in despite fifteen losses.

2385
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 7: Texas versus Xavier Wednesday night in a play in. That

2386
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 7: winner will then play Illinois Auburn is ranked number one overall,

2387
01:44:39,720 --> 01:44:43,200
Speaker 7: top overall seed that is in the NCAA Men's basketball Tournament,

2388
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 7: even though yes, they were ranked number one for much

2389
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:47,680
Speaker 7: of the season, but they have lost three of their

2390
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 7: last four games. Duke is also a one seed, as

2391
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:54,240
Speaker 7: are Houston and Florida. Florida Gators won the SEC tournament

2392
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:58,080
Speaker 7: beating Tennessee eighty six to seventy seven. Michigan won the

2393
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 7: Big Ten today, beating Wisconsin fifty nine fifty three. Michigan

2394
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 7: opens late Thursday against UC San Diego, which made the

2395
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 7: tournament in its first year eligible conference tournament wins for Memphis,

2396
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 7: VCU and Yale today. The women's number one seeds are

2397
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:16,920
Speaker 7: ucla top overall seed, which slaughtered South Carolina this year.

2398
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 7: By the way, USC is a one seed South Carolina

2399
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 7: Texas as well. Stanford did not make it, which ended

2400
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 7: the cardinals thirty six year streak of playing in the

2401
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 7: NCAA Women's Tournament, but Tennessee still in continued its tournament run.

2402
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 7: They've appeared every year in the field since the first

2403
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,960
Speaker 7: NCAA tournament for women in nineteen eighty two. Vols excuse me,

2404
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 7: Lady Vols or A five seed and the way it

2405
01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:43,040
Speaker 7: works for the women's tournament. By the way, the top

2406
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 7: sixteen seeds host first and second round games, and then

2407
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 7: the regionals that are played at only two neutral sites.

2408
01:45:50,280 --> 01:45:52,960
Speaker 7: You're either going to Spokane or you're going to Birmingham.

2409
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,759
Speaker 7: Third straight year they've had that format. In the NBA

Speaker 7: runs in his tenures.

2433
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound like something Arnie would do? If yes?

2434
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 1: Like a great hitter? All He's like, I can.

01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:42,719
Speaker 1: Wow.

2464
01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 7: And he finished tied for sixth. And he earned eight

2465
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 7: hundred and forty four thousand dollars for four days of

2466
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,760

2468
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:58,000

Speaker 2: I know this is kind of imploding your pick, so

2487
01:49:43,320 --> 01:49:46,600
Speaker 2: I do apologize. Yeah, but over in the in the

2488
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 2: Duke Regional, I guess you would say Newark and the

2489
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 2: East Regional. Any surprises here. I've got one team I

2490
01:49:53,920 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 2: kind of like to pull off an upset.

2491
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 3: Akron Akron Dog do that to me. Actually, we're gonna

2492
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:04,479
Speaker 3: just by the way.

2493
01:50:04,600 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 1: I really like VCU in the bottom part of that bracket.

2494
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 3: This is pretty much gonna go all chalk except for

2495
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 3: one team. I've got Liberty beating Oregon and then losing

2496
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 3: to Arizona. But other than that, I got all the

2497
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:19,800
Speaker 3: lower seeds or wow, the favorites going in advancing. I

2498
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 3: do like BYU not only beating VCU, but then beating

2499
01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:27,719
Speaker 3: Wisconsin and even putting up a good fight against Alabama.

2500
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm on the BYU bandwagon. They were playing really good

2501
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:34,479
Speaker 3: basketball in their last like ten to fifteen games, so

2502
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,560
Speaker 3: watch out for them. And then, of course Alabama is

2503
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:39,960
Speaker 3: just so strong. I want to see how far Satan

2504
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 3: Mary's can go big game against Vanderbilt in that first game,

2505
01:50:43,600 --> 01:50:46,719
Speaker 3: and how they're gonna play Alabama in that second round matchup.

2506
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 3: So some decent matchups in this one.

2507
01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think again, as somebody who has lived

2508
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 2: the SEC life this year, seeing fourteen teams in, it's

2509
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 2: like I'm in Nashville Vandy fans. I'm gonna say this

2510
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:02,639
Speaker 2: with peace ed love. I kind of think Vanderbilt sucks.

2511
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 2: But when I see them there as a ten seed,

2512
01:51:06,520 --> 01:51:08,840
Speaker 2: they're playing a seven Saint Mary's. I watched Saint Mary's

2513
01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 2: the other night. I kind of think they suck. So honestly,

2514
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. It's like my SEC

2515
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 2: homersm came out in that one.

2516
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 1: That one.

2517
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 3: I think it's like two or something like that.

2518
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 1: Let's see which one.

2519
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:23,479
Speaker 3: Is this the Saint Mary's Vanderbilt game?

2520
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,719
Speaker 2: All right, Saint Mary's. Vanderbilt right now has a hold

2521
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 2: on They don't. You're telling me they don't spell Saint

2522
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:33,839
Speaker 2: Mary's like everybody else does. Minus four four point favorite

2523
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 2: for Saint Mary's. Oh wow, I'm surprised by that too.

2524
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like it's right. But I'll just say

2525
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:43,800
Speaker 2: to not to not belabor the point. I've got Duke

2526
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 2: in Alabama playing in the Elite eight.

2527
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 3: I too.

2528
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:49,680
Speaker 2: I got them also, anything shocking in the bottom part

2529
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 2: in the bracket for you, this would be considered the

2530
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 2: what Indianapolis is at the south or is that the

2531
01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 2: Midwest middlew is.

2532
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 3: The Midwestern Indianapolis. I do think the playing game of

2533
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 3: Texas Avier is going to.

2534
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:01,800
Speaker 1: Be all good.

2535
01:52:02,200 --> 01:52:04,680
Speaker 3: I think the Utah State Ucla game is going to

2536
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:07,600
Speaker 3: be better than people think. I got Utah State with

2537
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:09,920
Speaker 3: the upset, though I do like Ucla, and you know,

2538
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm on McNee to not only beat Clemson, but to

2539
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 3: beat Perdue and to put up a good fight against Houston.

2540
01:52:16,640 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 3: There is a good chance that High Point beats Perdue.

2541
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 3: But I went with the boiler Makers, who I thought

2542
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 3: had a pretty good year this year.

2543
01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 2: You know what. I like the boiler Makers a lot.

2544
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 2: But is it weird that for some reason I kind

2545
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:29,719
Speaker 2: of don't trust him in March.

2546
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 3: No, I don't blame you at all, zero except I

2547
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 3: mean Zach Eaty three years ago before he went to

2548
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 3: the NBA, they lost in the first round and then

2549
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 3: they went to the finals. Right, So it's yep FeAs

2550
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:42,800
Speaker 3: So I have.

2551
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 2: One problem here, Arnie, and I do have Houston and

2552
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee playing in the Elite eight. I opened my mouth

2553
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:49,680
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and said, that's why I

2554
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:51,599
Speaker 2: have to fall in love with Illinois.

2555
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,559
Speaker 3: I like Illinois too, but I have moves to Tennessee.

2556
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:57,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then I guess I can't come to you

2557
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,320
Speaker 2: for help because I've been trying to talk my self

2558
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 2: out of this and I can't because Illinois is one

2559
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 2: of those teams where if they get hot, look out.

2560
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:08,799
Speaker 2: And I don't know if they're playing very good defensive

2561
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 2: teams in this Kentucky's not a very good offensive team.

2562
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 2: Texas or Zavier not necessarily a good offensive team. But

2563
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:17,200
Speaker 2: when you get to the sweet sixteen or I guess

2564
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 2: in that point it would. Yeah, sweet sixteen, you got

2565
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 2: a couple pretty good defensive teams there.

2566
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 3: So too if they make it best in the seat,

2567
01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:24,760
Speaker 3: yeah they do.

2568
01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. There is our picks, and

2569
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 1: of course you can find them very soon.

2570
01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 3: What do you have winning the whole thing, mister, Well,

2571
01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 3: I've got Florida, Florida.

2572
01:53:36,200 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 2: I think whoever wins the Florida Oklahoma second round game

2573
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 2: is gonna win the national champ.

2574
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:41,719
Speaker 3: Who was the first number one seed to lose?

2575
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, looking at my bracket, seeing that I have one, two, three,

2576
01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:49,680
Speaker 2: four number one seeds, I got a little work to

2577
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 2: do to help you out on that one, Arnty, because

2578
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:53,000
Speaker 2: I think it would be Auburn in the final flour

2579
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:54,880
Speaker 2: against Florida so much.

2580
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:56,960
Speaker 3: Maybe you beat maybe Houston.

2581
01:53:57,680 --> 01:53:59,880
Speaker 2: You know, the only reason Houston lost last year is

2582
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:03,519
Speaker 2: because one of their guys got hurt. I know, So

2583
01:54:03,720 --> 01:54:06,000
Speaker 2: can the gods tell me who's gonna get hurt in

2584
01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:07,559
Speaker 2: this final fours so I.

2585
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:08,880
Speaker 1: Can figure it out? All right?

2586
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 2: Well, my picks don't matter, right, even though I won

2587
01:54:10,960 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 2: the Bracket challenge last year, which is brought to you

2624
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:07,800
