48
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: and the Benny Awards will start about twenty minutes or so.

49
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: So you're gonna want to wake everyone up. And you know,

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: no one's sleeping. Everyone's listening live.

51
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: I'm awake.

52
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: There's no on demand listening. Ever, You've got to be

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: awake for this. I mean, this is like the greatest

54
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: thing you want to know. First, there's a lot of

55
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. There's a lot of people right now,

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: very nervous about what's going to happen. I don't know,

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I have not seen that. In fact, the polls are

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: still open. We have not even closed the polls yet,

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: so you can literally change there's a couple of these

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: categories on the Bennies where it has not been decided.

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: It's only a couple of votes, and so literally unlike

62
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: the presidential election which happens every four years, this you

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: can decide who wins and loses. So if you have

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: not voted, to go to the Twitter page r X

65
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: been called X for a couple of years and that's

66
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,320

70
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: on the Facebook page Ben Maler Show. But our lead

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: this hour we start from the selection committee. Yes, the

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: selection committee. Selection Sunday has come and now gone. The

73
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six NC Double A men's basketball bracket Locked

74
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: in Stone, Locked in Stone, And as I mentioned, if

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: you were listening to the Fifth Hour podcast the early

76
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: Sunday edition with Danny g and Me mentioned that this

77
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: time of the year is one of my favorite times

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: of the year. Everyone that does this for a living,

79
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: every bloke, as our friends in Australia say, every bloke

80
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: that does this kind of work for a living, and

81
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: we completely ignore men's college basketball unless there's some kind

82
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: of ridiculous blow up like our friend gottlieb our Old

83
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: teammate who just starts screaming at the referee. Well, if

84
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: that happens, we talk about it, right, But the exact

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: same p the exact same plan exactly outside of that though, Yeah,

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: come on, what do we do? We don't talk about it.

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: And now, through the magic of talk radio, we are

88
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: all bona fide experts, bona fied experts when it comes

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: to the men's basketball tournament, and we are fully guilty.

90
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: We're no different. We are no different. No, I have

91
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: occasionally been watching some of these college games because I

92
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: was so burn burned out on the NBA product that

93
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: I have watched more college basketball last couple of weeks

94
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: and during the All Star break in the NBA, which

95
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, I watched a lot of college basketball.

96
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: So I have watched it. And so if you didn't

97
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: keep tracked, these things have been telegraphed for some time,

98
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: the top seeds in the men's tournament, and so if

99
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: you missed it for some reason, you've got Duke. So

100
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: I see a lot of blue blogs. They've got Duke Arizona.

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: Of course, Arizona now moving on to the Big twelve.

102
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: But Duke Staple, the acc Arizona Michigan and the Florida Gators.

103
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all those teams, separated by a few millimeters,

104
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: but they had separated themselves from everyone else in college basketball.

105
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: So those are the four pack of the top seats. Now,

106
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: last year we had all Chalk, all Chalky mcchalk in

107
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: the final four. I think Florida won last year. I remember.

108
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: If I think the Gators won last year, I don't

109
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: even remember. I believe it was the Florida Games. But anyway,

110
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: the point is that those are the four teams that

111
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: are head and shoulders by everyone else. Duke the king

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the ACC they won the

113
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: regular season and then they won the conference tournament. So

114
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: they doubled up on that. Arizona, the big bad bully

115
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: of the Big twelve all year, the wildcast. They won

116
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: the regular season title and the conference tournament as well

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: Michigan and Florida. It is interesting to know, and as

118
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: the late Vin Scully would say, it's interesting to note

119
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: that the Florida and Michigan squad did not did not

120
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: win their respective conference tournaments. However, both considered the cream

121
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: of the crop by the selection committee from the Big

122
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Ten and the Southeastern Conference, respectively, so they are in

123
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: as the number one season. Now some of the so

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: called experts, these so called experts in college basketball are

125
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: saying that all four number one number of seeds advancing

126
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: to the final four is firmly in play again, that

127
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: this could be back to back, which seems odd to

128
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: me considering the fact that in college football and the

129
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: NIL era, you had a team like Indiana, a suck

130
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: bag football school like Indiana, win the championship because they

131
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: just bought the right players. So you're telling me that

132
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: we can't have that same thing happened in men's college basketball,

133
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: that it's just the top teams get all the top

134
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: players and that's it and it doesn't matter. And so

135
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: that's all a good jumping off point. Let us discuss

136
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the question which top seed again Duke, Arizona, Michigan, and Florida,

137
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: which are the top seeds, is most likely to go

138
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: down to go belly up before reaching the final four,

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily losing the first three weekend, because very rarely

140
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: does that happen. When I know there's a plain situation

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: and all that they've had that for years. In beautiful Dayton, Ohio,

142
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: the home of Dick in Dayton who calls the show

143
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: after that though, the real tournament begins on Thursday. And

144
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: so that's what we've got again. Who is most likely

145
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: of the top seeds to go belly up? That is

146
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: the question on the panel. And so I've got Rush Limbaugh,

147
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Apple Store, and dust Devil and those are the three things.

148
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: And we'll combine all of those things together and we

149
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: are going to make a smash burger with delicious melted

150
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: lava cheese on top up and some onion rings and

151
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: some fries. Man. That sounds like a good, good meal

152
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: to eat at this point, all right, So a to

153
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: begin the festivus of talk here after a literally minutes

154
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: long Mallor style deliberation, the team most likely to lose

155
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: Duke Duke. I'm gone with Duke. I'm gone with that

156
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: dough case. I'm going with Duke. Oh, here's why that

157
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: makes plain the Blue Devils. No, I'm gonna hold your

158
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: hand and walk you through this. Why I believe Duke

159
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: is of the number one seeds, the one most likely

160
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: to go down first in the tournament. They're like the

161
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: land Rover of this now the land people love Land.

162
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: I've had friends that have had the land and they

163
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: all have issues. Right, there's a very expensive defix, very

164
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: expensive to fix. And whether it's that luxury off road

165
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: system or the air suspension or whatever it is, things

166
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: are fed up all the time. And from just my

167
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I've never her own one. My friends that have had

168
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: been very expensive, very expensive. The things better be under

169
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: warrant to you're you're you're completely screwed. Well, I'm looking

170
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: at Duke here and yeah, Duke's got Cameron Boozer, top

171
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: five NBA pick locked in stone. He can get arrested

172
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: with two hookers and some cocaine, he'd still be a

173
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: top five pick in the NBA. Okay, so top five

174
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: pick in the NBA in a couple in a couple

175
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: of months. However, the rest of the roster, if you

176
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: look at the rest of the Duke roster, and they're

177
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: all waiting in the not necessarily emergency room that they're

178
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: going to the walk in clinic, they're in the walk

179
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: in clinic. A big part of that roster, guard Calen

180
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: Foster had foot surgery. He's out indefinitely. They say he

181
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: may be able to come back. If Duke gets to

182
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: the final four, May is a weasel word the starting center.

183
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: He's out missed the ACC tournament out of my aching foot,

184
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: like he stepped on some legos or something like that,

185
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: So who knows if he'll be back. So using the

186
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: law of averages here, So two of the starting players

187
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: for the Duke Blue Devils, if I'm correct here, two

188
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: of the starting players for Duke are down for the count.

189
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: One for sure is down for the count heading in

190
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: to the tournament. So even though they're the number one

191
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: seed in their region, it's kind of like going to

192
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: a bar fight and you've got one arm tied behind

193
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: your back. Now, now they're gonna need a Wiji board

194
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: going in if they do have both starters out in

195
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: the tournament. Here and channel the Lake Grit Rush Limba.

196
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: We're actually broadcasting from one of Russia's old studios here.

197
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: And because Rush, one of his famous catchers, is he

198
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: dominated with half his brain tied behind his back, just

199
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: for just to make it fair. So Duke, if they

200
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: were able to go to the final four with two

201
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: of their starters down, well that would be pretty impressive,

202
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Yet, And the other problem is you've got

203
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: that brutal bracket the brutal bracket murderers. Row you got

204
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Yukon that psycho coach, Dan Hurley at Yukon fire breathing

205
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: head coach. You've got Tom Iso lurking at me, Chegan

206
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: with old Sparty Michigan State of Course, and Bill self

207
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: and Kansas waiting with brass knuckles. All of those teams

208
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: are in the East region. So it's a shark tank

209
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: for the Duke Blue Devils, John Shires Duke squad. They're

210
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna need pep doo bismol. He's gonna need it. He's

211
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: gonna need it and some advillain all that and without

212
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: a loaded roster, opportunity for people to step up, do

213
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: your job. Do your job now. Meanwhile, looking a little

214
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: deeper here, another question that we like to ask as

215
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: we head into the madness of it all here is

216
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: the selection Sunday has come and gone. So the question

217
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: which teams are most likely to blow up the bracket? Now?

218
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Mention Duke the team most likely to lose early in

219
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: the tournament as you start filling out your bracket, but

220
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: the team most likely to blow up your precious NC

221
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: tournament bracket? Which team would that be? And after a

222
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: lengthy review of the available teams in this and looking

223
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: at the teams that are not all that exciting, the

224
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: teams there at the bottom there. What I did is

225
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: I took a field trip. Actually, I went to the

226
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Apple Store and I went to the Genius Bar at

227
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: the Apple Store. So I was able to reboot my bracket,

228
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: and I went there and the Genius Bar helped me

229
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: out there. I've got three suspects, three of them. I'm

230
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: never wrong about these things. So I got three teams

231
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: that are most likely to be able to wear the

232
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: ski mask and carry the crowbar. All right, So you

233
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: go in there and just vandalize, just vandalize things. First off,

234
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: Northern Iowa. What yes, Northern Iowa, number twelve seed. They

235
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: take on Saint John's and Rick Pattino a number five seed.

236
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: That twelve five things always always in issue. Now, Northern Iowa,

237
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: I'm told they're the Panthers and they are the basketball

238
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: equivalent of quicksand meaning, you step into that game playing

239
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Northern Iowa and you think it can't be that hard.

240
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: It's Northern Iowa, for God's sakes, that is easy. Next

241
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: thing you know, you are sinking and screaming up just

242
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: like that, so preview of what's to come here they

243
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: do based on their season, play defense like a pack

244
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: of junk yard dolls, and so they do that and

245
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: they just play ugly basketball. And usually we get so

246
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: excited for this, and typically it is a brick house,

247
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: brick house in these early games in the tournament. A

248
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of mishots ugly basketball. People have tight Tukas syndrome,

249
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: the players. And so if you're able to win games

250
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: that are muddied up, I mean really good shape, really

251
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: good shape here. So I got that circled Northern Iowa right,

252
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: They're very effective. That's style of play in the tournament.

253
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: McNee State another team not exciting. You don't get fired

254
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: up for McNeice. They play Vanderbilt in a regional broadcast

255
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: here and that match up the Cowboys, I am told

256
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: McNee State the Cowboys another generic name, hate that and

257
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: so they don't have the razzle dazzle of the Power

258
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: Conference teams. Now Vanderbilt doesn't either, but they're in the SEC.

259
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: And so another team here that likes to play McNee

260
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: State muddy pig pen basketball. And that's what I'm leaning

261
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: into here. These are the teams that I'm leaning into

262
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: and if you can win a rock fight, you're in

263
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: pretty good shape here to mess up these more established

264
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: with bigger named players, opponents that you're gonna play against.

265
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: And then and then there's Santa Clara. That's right, I'm

266
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: putting Santa Clair out there against Kentucky. Says, no way,

267
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: there's no coach. Klapar is not at Kentucky anymore. He's

268
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: at Arkansas. He's not walking through that door to save Kentucky.

269
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Not that he did it. They had been underachieving in

270
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: the tournament anyway. So Santa Clara, though, the Broncos of

271
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Santa Clara, they do share the ball, little Scotty report.

272
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: They share the ball. They stretched the floor. And it's

273
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: an opportunistic, gambling type of defensive team based on the

274
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: stats during the season. So that's the kind of team

275
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: that again you look for, that type of team that

276
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: can upset early in the tournament. And those are three. Now,

277
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: none of them are sexy, none of them get you

278
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: all tingly, and yet it's march ugly does win. It'd

279
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: be nice if you just made the most three point

280
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: shots and you played smooth, smooth, silky basketball and you won.

281
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: But that's not how that works. And these teams are

282
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: like termites in the tournament. Did they just eat your

283
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: bracket alive? Just like they're eating the wood in your house?

284
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: He's oh, yeah, you've been moored all right. Meanwhile, so

285
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: the last part of this, the last part of this,

286
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: we go to thirty thousand feet up in the sky.

287
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: Here.

288
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: The NCUBA Tournament is actually the annual NBA Scouting Convention.

289
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: Now it's the ski So a lot of people don't

290
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: realize this. It's disguised as March Madness. It's got all

291
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: the marketing and all that, and it's three week though

292
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: pop quiz, three week pop quiz for a bunch of

293
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: teenagers who are being paid a ton of money. But

294
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: they're also auditioning for the billionaire franchises of the NBA

295
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: while the rest of us pretend that that's not going on.

296
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: While our brackets are smoldering like a cheap cigar, and

297
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: there's scouts eating soggy nachos watching all of these games.

298
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: So the question is this, who are the players that

299
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: we need to watch? Who are the players that we

300
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: need to watch? Here? Going into this the men's basketball

301
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: tournament kicks off the real one on THD. So think

302
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: of this as a dust devil, like a dust devil,

303
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: a cloud of dust, a lot of star dust out there.

304
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: And you start with aj De Banza. Aj De Bonza

305
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: of BYU, the Cougars men's basketball squad projected as the

306
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: number one pick in summers NBA draft. The Bonza a

307
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: smooth operator at the wing and has all the tools

308
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: that make NBA scouts get a little you know what.

309
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: So that's that's one. That's the big guy. And then

310
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: every lottery team that have made an atrocity of professional

311
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: basketball by not trying to win, the Washington Wizards, the

312
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz, all those teams. They have a Sacramento teams

313
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: that just blow and they have a bullseye on the

314
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: bonds of BYU. But he's not alone. You've got the

315
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: magical mystery tour of Darren Peterson of Kansas, the Jayhawks,

316
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: the men's basketball team there always one of the better

317
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: teams in the country. And Peterson, if you look at

318
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: him when he's engaged, oh man, this guy's gonna be

319
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: a good NBA player. Of course, the problem is his

320
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: superpower appears to be that of a distant relative of

321
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: Humpty Dumpty who took a spectacular fall and they couldn't

322
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: put him back together. They've been trying to put him

323
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: back together. It seems like the perfect modern player doesn't

324
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: really seem to want to play that much, and so

325
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: that's a mess. But we'll see how if he shows

326
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: up and plays at all for Kansas Peterson. And then

327
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: we mentioned Boozer from Duke Cameron Boozer legit polished all

328
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: that stuff and NBA bloodlines his daddy. It's the family

329
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: business there, so the bloodline thicker than the nacho cheese

330
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: the scouts are eating while they're watching the competition. And

331
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: also from the all name team from Houston, Kingston Flemings.

332
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: Love the name like King Flemings. He's just go by King,

333
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: not Kingston. Go ahead King, right, it's Kingston Flemings guard

334
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: from Houston. And then Caleb Wilson of North Carolina. Those

335
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: are all projected to be the top players in the

336
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: summer's NBA Draft and they will all be on display

337
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: in the Madness of March, which begins this week. And

338
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: so we have a bracket challenge. We'll tell you about

339
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: that coming up in a little bit. So you're gonna

340
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: want to sign up for that, and we always want

341
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: one of our guys to win and not one of

342
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: these other shows. We take that very personally. We want

343
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: you to win and not the big promoted shows here

344
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: at the company to get all the advertising and all that.

345
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: We want one of our people to win, So hopefully

346
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: you will win. We'll tell you about that coming up

347
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: in a bit. It is the Ben Malord Show. It

00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: about ten I believe we're closing the battle box in

Speaker 1: Stay tuned now, Lorena. Is this Hello to Lorena FSR

402
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: Tech queen, no talking and Cooper loop at a Bronco fan.

403
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 1: That's a Bronco fan. Now back to it all, right,

404
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: back to where we go, and we begin with a

405
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: college basketball heavy monologue here at the start. And this

406
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: night's going to be different than all of the nights.

407
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: We have so many awards to give out. Many of

408
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: the staples of the show are getting the night off.

409
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: So there will be no Mallard to the third degree,

410
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: there won't be the who am I? Game? We might

411
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: do the Mallard riddle just because I like it, Just

412
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: because I like it, we might do that, but we

413
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: won't have the answers tributa. And then also most likely

414
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: because of timing reasons, if we planned this out right,

415
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: and we know one thing we do here, we never

416
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: get this wrong. We never screw up the clock. So

417
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: I think we have everything planned out perfectly. Clock that's

418
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: right for the clock one hundred percent. And so if

419
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: we've timed everything out the final segment, which normally we

420
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: will do the game, we will not. We will give

421
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: out the highest honor in all of overnight talk radio,

422
