20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: fifth time, all over again.

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 2: At what point do we, you know, as women, be like, Okay, listen,

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: this is I'm embracing the fact that I am this

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: age because I'm thirty, I'm forty until I turned forty five.

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm like, I'm already there. Seriously, I say that

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: when people are like, what are you twenty again, I'm like, yep,

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: but like I embrace every bit of my like I'm

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: a fully grown ass woman.

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm fifty four today.

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: And it's so funny because before we hopped on which

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: I do this every morning, but for some reason this

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: morning it was.

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: A little different.

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: Like every morning when I wake up, I give thanks

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: to God to all the things right. So I was

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: walking outside this morning and I had a moment, Oh

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: my God, here come in tears.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: But I had a.

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Moment where it was just a thank you for allowing

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: me to see another day, but you know, another birthday,

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: especially given all the ship that we're going through right

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: now in this country, in this world.

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: And I said, you, you, God, you chose me to.

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Wake up this morning and give me an opportunity to

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: be a better person, which is what I always try

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: to do every single day. So yeah, it's the big birthday,

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: and you know I celebrated already, but yeah I got

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: to do a little something else today.

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: Because it's the official day. So yeah, I'm kicking it

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: with you this morning.

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: I know that's how you know it's loved like other

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: people would have been, like Tarika kick Rocks, it's my birthday,

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: and sherol is like, Nope, we're gonna record this show.

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: Let's go first of all, because we got some good

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: shit to talk about, like we do.

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: It's a it's I'm looking forward to this conversation, but

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: it definitely won't be an easy one because we all

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: know that there are great things that happen when you

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: play sports. There are great opportunities that come along when

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: you play sports, but there are also the realities of

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: playing sports, and part of that reality is injuries. And

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: there are some people who are so fortunate to go

62
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: through their entire career and never ever ever see an injury,

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: and my god, how blessed must you must be to

64
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: have that kind of career. Unfortunately, there are others who

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: have to figure out how to deal with either nagging

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: injuries or a one off injury, and sometimes even a

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: career ending injury, and those are the worst. And so

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: today on today's show, we got to talk about our girl,

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: Juju Watkins, because man, can I tell you that I

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: was devastated at the moment that I saw her go down,

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: And honestly, it was even a little bit before that,

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: if we being honest, but let's just go ahead and

73
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: take this conversation to the next level.

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: Let's get it.

75
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: So in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, USC

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: and their matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, very early

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: into the first quarter, Juju Watkins was on a fast break.

78
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: Her knee kind of buckled a little bit.

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: With maybe just like a slight contact with the player,

80
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: and immediately she fell to the ground, grabbing her right knee.

81
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: Her face was just all tore up, and I think

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: if anyone has covered basketball long enough, you probably looked

83
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: at that and instantly thought it's probably her aco. But

84
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: of course you don't want to put that juju in

85
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: the atmosphere. You know, no pun intended, and you want

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: to be optimistic. But unfortunately, and the wee hours of

87
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: the morning after that incident, it was confirmed that Juju

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Watkins will be missing the remainder of the NCAA Tournament

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: for an acl tire and Cheryl, you know, I've been bled.

90
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: I didn't play basketball in college. I played softball and volleyball,

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 2: and I was blessed to not have to worry about injuries,

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: nagging pain, absolutely, but injuries not so much. So I

93
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: don't have the experience of what it means and what

94
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: it takes to come back from an injury.

95
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: But you do. And so the moment that.

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: You saw what happened to Juju, what was the first

97
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: thing that came through your mind?

98
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I knew, and I got sick to my stomach.

99
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to watch, and you never want to see

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: any player, I don't care who it is. You never

101
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: want to see any player go down with any type

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: of an injury, especially when you pretty much know that

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be a season ending injury. Just in

104
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: the timing of it all, it just was so bad.

105
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: But when a player like a Juju Watkins, who has

106
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the whole world talking about women's basketball right now, you know,

107
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: and she goes down like you feel it. I just

108
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I walked away from the TV and no, lie t

109
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: I was grabbing my knee and rubbing my knee like

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: I felt her pain. I felt it, and I knew

111
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't just like she bumped knees with anybody.

112
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: So I tore my ACL back in two thousand.

113
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: And it was just like non contact I was working

114
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: out with the rockets, was going down for a layup

115
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: all by myself, no one even near me. I went

116
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: up and as soon as I like planet, I knew

117
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: it was something.

118
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: And that's what I saw with Juju.

119
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: And let me just say this real quick before we

120
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: really get into the conversation. I know that they were

121
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: playing at home, and you know, it's their fans, but

122
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: for the booing that happened, I was like, y'all, come

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: on it right, Like they didn't do anything intentionally, Like

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: the players were doing what they were supposed to do.

125
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: They were trying to play defense, they were trying to

126
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: slow down, and it was like they intentionally hurt her,

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But Juju's a tough kid,

128
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: like she's a tough athlete, and that look on her

129
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: face when she grabbed her knee was a look of

130
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: this is serious and I am in some sorry fucking hate.

131
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: And then when she sat up, I was like, okay.

132
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: But when they literally had to carry her like she

133
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: couldn't put any weight on it, I was just like, oh, yeah,

134
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Even this morning, like I knew what

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: it was seriously, but it didn't really feel real until

136
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: it was confirmed, right, like, this is what happened. I

137
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: don't know even this morning. I just woke up, I

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: said a prayer for her, and like, I am sick

139
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to my stomach right now. It's just for her because

140
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: you want her to be healthy, to come back stronger,

141
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: which I know she will, but you know, for selfish reasons,

142
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: like I wanted to see her ball. I wanted to

143
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: see her take her team to the final four, Like

144
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: just as a competitor, as an athlete, you want to

145
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: see the best playing against the best.

146
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: YEP, one hundred percent. That was one hundred percent.

147
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the obvious is that you want players to

148
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: be healthy, and the obvious is that you never want

149
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: to see somebody have to deal with an aco injury

150
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: that's or any injury ever.

151
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: But it's so common.

152
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: And the one thing that I think becomes a positive

153
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: is that modern medicine has changed and evolved so much

154
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: sure that it doesn't end up being career ending like before.

155
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: Like for example, I want to say it was Cheryl

156
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: Miller who tore her ACL in the eighties, and Cheryl

157
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: never Cheryl never played at a professional level. Yeah you

158
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean, And I'm like, damn, in twenty

159
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: twenty five, there is a time to there is a process,

160
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: there is, you know, an opportunity for you to not

161
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: let it end your basketball story. But the part that

162
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: I think is going to be most challenging, and you

163
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: can correct me if I'm wrong, it's the mental hurdle.

164
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: It's the mental.

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Hurdle, because yeah, your body can get right, but like,

166
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: do you mentally say to yourself, you know, am I

167
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: more cautious when I'm coming up and down the court

168
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: because I'm afraid that it might happen again?

169
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: Am I you know, a little bit more.

170
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: Cognizant of how I step, how I turn my footwork,

171
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: like you know, how I play defense? Like to me,

172
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: it feels like there could be this constant nagging in

173
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: the back of my head that you have to be

174
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: more careful versus when previously you might have played a

175
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: little bit more free.

176
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's only human right to think about that

177
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: and for that to always be in the back of

178
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: your mind. So again, toward my acl in two thousand,

179
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: I went through a period of like woe is me?

180
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: Because I wasn't concerned with me being able to come

181
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: back physically, because I was going to put the work in,

182
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna rehab, I was gonna do all the

183
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: things and then some. From a physical standpoint, I was like,

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I will be able to come back

185
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: from this.

186
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: The hard part for me was once.

187
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: The doctors gave me the okay, right, like you're good,

188
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: I still wore my knee brace for mental reasons. I'm like, okay,

189
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: I know you said I am, but you're not me

190
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and it's my knee and I went through it. So

191
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: it took me a good year to get to a

192
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: point to where I was like, you know what, damn

193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: this knee brace.

194
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: I can get rid of the knee brace. I'm good, tee.

195
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: Because you're always thinking about what you did when it happened. Yeah,

196
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: for me, I was like, it was just a layup,

197
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: and layups are one of the most shocks in a game, right,

198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: And so I had to mentally tell myself every single

199
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: time I stepped out on the court, you're okay, You're okay,

200
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: You're okay.

201
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen again.

202
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: It's not like I had to tell myself these things mentally,

203
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: but the defense, you know, being able to side and

204
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: all the things involved with basketball are in the back

205
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: of your mind without question. I don't care who you are,

206
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: how mentally strong you are. Those things are going to

207
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: constantly be in her head. But the other thing that

208
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: helped me was besides the doctor right, like you're good,

209
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent healthy, Like having my teammates, having

210
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: my teammates they're saying, take your time, right, like you're

211
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: not on anybody's timetable. So the pressures of like I

212
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: just said, we want to see her play, right, but

213
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: the pressures that you might feel from the media, from fans,

214
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: from whomever saying dang, it's been X amount of months

215
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: or years or whatever, like why aren't you back, Why

216
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: aren't you one hundred percent?

217
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: Why aren't you ready?

218
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Having your teammates there in your corner right saying whatever

219
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: you need from us, we got you, we gonna hold

220
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: it down for you. Take your time. Just that support

221
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: from your teammates will go a long way. And like

222
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: I said before, there's no doubt in my mind that

223
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Juju Watkins will not only come back, but come back stronger, better,

224
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: if that's possible, to come back better, right, and she

225
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: will be okay. But this shit hurts and it sucks,

226
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: Like let's just be honest. The timing of it yes,

227
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: it sucks. Like I know, some people will be like, well,

228
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's part of the game.

229
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: And honestly it is. Injuries are part of the game.

230
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: But this sucks. I don't care what anybody says. So bad.

231
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: It sucks so bad.

232
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: And I think that's what her teammates did in the

233
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: remainder of the game. I mean, first of all, when

234
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: the injury happened, the Trojans were already up thirteen two,

235
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: so it wasn't like it was, you know, a close

236
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: matchup even at that point. They were already up eleven

237
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: points by the time the injury happened, and I enjoyed.

238
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: Even though it wasn't It wasn't a close game at all.

239
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: So it wasn't enjoyable from the sense of this is

240
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: a competitive match. But what I did enjoy was watching

241
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: keyky area Fin step up and say you know what,

242
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: I got my girl, and like to your point about

243
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: having your teammates have your back, that's what having your

244
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: back looks like, like, don't worry about it, we got you.

245
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: We gonna make sure this thing doesn't get close. We're

246
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: gonna make sure there's no question about what USC can

247
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: do without Juju Watkins. Now, there's definitely questions about what

248
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: USC can do without Juju Wakins.

249
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 3: But you didn't know it last You didn't know it

250
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: in the in the game.

251
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: And that was Yes, you didn't know it in the game,

252
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: and that was something that I admired but overaw and

253
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: I tweeted this. I said, the NCAA tournament is not

254
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: even going to be the same anymore. And it's just

255
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: the facts, right, Like we saw that USC was gonna

256
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: be on a collision course with Yukon. But it feels

257
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: a little different, yes, now, because you want to see

258
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: these teams at full strength.

259
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: You want to see the best against the best.

260
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: And that was the same thing that we said last

261
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: year because Yukon and USC met up last year, and

262
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: when they met up last year, it was a seven

263
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: roster rotation for you, because they had so many injuries

264
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: that they were on a short roster.

265
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: They didn't have Azy Fud.

266
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: It was just like, oh my god, can we see

267
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: like a full healthy team out here?

268
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: And so that's a thing that we're going to hate.

269
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: And you never want to feel as a competitor, you know,

270
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: even in the sports I play, I don't want to

271
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: play you when you got your best player hurt because

272
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear all, y'all only won because

273
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: such and such wasn't there. Y'all only played because such

274
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: as it had been different if such such as in

275
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: a game like well, damn, you know what I mean, Like,

276
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: even though you earn it, you still feel like, Man,

277
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: this ain't even this, This ain't even this, ain't even

278
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: a way I wanted it.

279
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: As a competitor, this ain't even a way I wanted it.

280
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: And that's what you hear, right, Well, y'all only won

281
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: because we didn't have our best player.

282
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Johnny got Juju.

283
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: But also being a competitor, right if And I know

284
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: there are other games before, but that's what I was

285
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to because I was pissed that the community

286
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: even had them in the same region. Right, I was like, what,

287
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: so now we're going to see him before the final four?

288
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: But right, because I was already there, and now the

289
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: thought of potentially USC playing Yukon, it just doesn't feel

290
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: the same. But also, knowing Paige Becker's the little that

291
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I do know, Paige also wants to play against the best, right,

292
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,119
Speaker 1: It's like, no, I want to play against a full, rostered,

293
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: healthy US team and let the chips fall where they may.

294
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: May the best team win because there's always gonna be

295
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: question marks now right. If USC loses, it's gonna be

296
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: what they have one had Juju been playing. Yeah, I

297
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: just last night when it happened, I had a thought

298
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: of not saying her life changes. But you know, as

299
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: an athlete, being healthy is a big part of your

300
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: success and a big part of you being able to

301
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: obviously compete and do the things that you're doing and

302
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: to wake up yesterday right or the day of the game,

303
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: you go to shoot around, you know your pregame, you

304
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: go through your whole routine, and you're right for the game,

305
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: and in a blink of an eye, it changes, like

306
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: your entire mentality goes from I'm about to bust your head,

307
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: bust your ass today to damn, I got a long.

308
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: Road ahead of me.

309
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. And if you're if you're not mentally tough in

310
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: this world, first of all, but as an athlete, if

311
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: you're not mentally tough, when you do get injuries like this,

312
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: like serious injuries, it can completely change your mindset moving forward.

313
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you the reason that I

314
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier in the show about I was concerned before

315
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: now is because in the first round when USC played uncg.

316
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: Juju heard her me.

317
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: And it was later in the game and it was

318
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: like they were already up by like forty points, so

319
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: I think it was like forty to something or whatever

320
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: at that time, but it was like, wait a minute now,

321
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: and she kind of, you.

322
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: Know, limped off a little bit on just.

323
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: And in my head, I just kept thinking when I

324
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: saw this injury against Mississippi State, I was like, wow,

325
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: I wonder how much of what happened and the first

326
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: round played a role and how easily that buckle went

327
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: as far as it went in this round. And again,

328
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: it's not something that you're thinking about as an athlete,

329
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: because as an athlete, you're like, listen, I just I

330
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: need to be good enough to play. I need to

331
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: it's good as straight if I'm not carried off this court,

332
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: I'm playing.

333
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: I get that, right, Like I get that.

334
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: But as a spectator and as an analyst, I'm constantly

335
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: thinking to myself, how much did what happened in the

336
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: first round play a role in the stability of how

337
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: quickly that incident and that injury happened in the second round,

338
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: and it's just something to be, you know, to think about,

339
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: because if you're Lindsay Gottlieb, right, you she said it yesterday,

340
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: like you know, this is one of the toughest kids,

341
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: I know, you know, But if you are a coach,

342
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: in your head, you know, I got to think that

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: sometimes coaches are replaying moments and replaying decisions and replaying things,

344
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: and then there may be something that are just like,

345
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: you know what, Hey, it it kind of was what

346
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 2: it was.

347
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: There's nothing that we could have done about it. It is

348
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: what it is. And that's a great mindset to have

349
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: if that's it. But we're human.

350
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: Coaches are human too, and I think that there may

351
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: be in your head as a coach sometimes a chance

352
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: where you're like, dang, if I had just maybe made

353
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: a different decision, or maybe if I had, you know,

354
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 2: decided not to start her this game, you know, maybe whatever,

355
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: would that have changed anything? I don't know, Maybe it

356
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 2: would have, maybe it wouldn't, But you know, it feels

357
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: like the human thing to do would be to be like, dang, like,

358
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: you know, what could have I done differently?

359
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: And again that answer could be nothing.

360
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: There's nothing you could have done differently, maybe, but you

361
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: can't help but think about it.

362
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: You know, Well, even.

363
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: If she is feeling some type of way about that,

364
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: she's never gonna say that publicly ever, do you know

365
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: what I mean?

366
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: She's ever. No, she's not. But here's here's a to me, there's.

367
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: Nothing good out of what happened to Juju. It just isn't. Yeah,

368
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: it's opportunity for your your teammates, it's opportunities for other

369
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: players to step up, which everyone's going to have to do.

370
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: And we did see that Kiki did that. Yeah, but

371
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: Juju has a really good team around her, meaning her

372
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: her mom, her dad yea yeap, just her team, her agent,

373
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: all of all of them. They are going to give

374
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: her the time and space she needs to deal with this,

375
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: and then they're also going to uplift her, encourage her

376
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: and say.

377
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: Listen, it's just a it's just a little setback.

378
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: And to me, as hard as it is, I don't

379
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: question it, right because there's clearly God has a plan

380
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: that's all out. I'll say I always say it. I

381
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: don't care what it is that we're doing, and I

382
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: know it does it sucks to hear it because when

383
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: it happened to me, I was like, Okay, God, I

384
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: know you got a plan, but damn it. Yeah, and

385
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: I just I hope she stays.

386
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: No.

387
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: I know she'll stay in a good headspace, she'll attack

388
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: the rehab and all the things as quickly as she can.

389
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just you know, unfortunate part of it.

390
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: I do want to say this because.

391
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: You remember last year Rory Harmon, right, she tore her

392
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: a cl and even when I look at Rory played

393
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: today like right now, she's not the same Rory Harmon

394
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: to me. But again that's she She came back I

395
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: think quicker and sooner than anybody thought she would. Now,

396
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, she is still balling, she's still

397
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: doing the things, but she's not the Rory Harmon she

398
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: was before the injury, and she's still getting to that point.

399
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: So to me, I think in another year, Roy Harmon

400
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: will be the Rory Harmon that that we're used to seeing. So,

401
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: you know, everybody bodies different timelines, different pain tolerance is different,

402
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: all those things. But to me, the best advice that

403
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: I could give Juju or I would want to send

404
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: her would be to just stay stay up, like keep

405
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: your head up. It is it isn't an injury. They happen,

406
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: but this too shall pass and you you're built for this,

407
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: and you and she will come back.

408
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent agree, one hundred percent agree. You

409
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: built for this, girl, you got it, and you will

410
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: come back stronger than ever. And when we come back

411
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: on the other side of the break, real chat just

412
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: a little bit longer about some more NCAA basketball because

413
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: the tournament is kind of heating up. Yeah, I guys, Charlo,

414
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: I don't think I have ever seen like six teams

415
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: just put up a whole century on people. In the week.

416
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: Everybody was like, I got a hunt it, you gotta

417
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 2: hunt it, you gotta hunt it.

418
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: A damn can you let somebody else score?

419
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: You gone put up a hunt it and didn't even

420
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: let the other team score forty points. I said, my Jesus,

421
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: South Carolina, we got a bucket for you. Texas, we

422
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: got a bucket for I said, my what is going on?

423
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: Nah, are y'all playing dominant or not?

424
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: It's March madness, baby, and we have seen some of

425
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: the madness. Listen, South Carolina. I feel like they're like, oh,

426
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: this is what y'all are doing. We got something, you know,

427
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: They're like, we got.

428
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: Something to prove. Now.

429
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Granted, I need them to get off to better starts

430
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: because at Indiana game, I was like, oh no, no, no.

431
00:23:54,560 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but the disrespect I think they feel of

432
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 5: not being the overall number one seed given the.

433
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 3: Strength of schedule all the things that they did.

434
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: So I knew whoever that sixteen seed was going up

435
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: against South Carolina opening night, yeah, it was gonna be

436
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: a long night for you. And I'm sorry but it happened.

437
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: But so here's what I do. Don't judge me.

438
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm judging, I know, but I can't watch those games.

439
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: I start off watching, I'm sorry. And when it gets

440
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: to a point where it's a fifty point game, yeah,

441
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm like okay, and right now I can do that

442
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: because we got so much basketball going on. So I'm

443
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: let me go find and yeah, I'm like, let me

444
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: go find a better game. But the game I loved.

445
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: There's been a few, but Kentucky Kansas State.

446
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a game. And I think we're both

447
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: gonna agree on this. On Maryland and Alabama, oh yes.

448
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, those two, I

449
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: was like, this is what Mark Madness is all about.

450
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: But there was another game that I think went under

451
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 2: the radar unless you were watching live.

452
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: And I've been saying it all weekend. I know they lost,

453
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 3: I get.

454
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: It, but people better put some respect on HBCUs because

455
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: Norfolk State. I don't care what that final score looked like.

456
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: Norfolk State came and competed and gave Maryland, and honestly,

457
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: I honestly think if it wasn't for some very bad

458
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: fouls in the third quarter where they filed Maryland behind

459
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: the arc like three times in a row and I basically.

460
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: Spined the nine points.

461
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: We could be talking about a very different situation because

462
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: Norfolk State came to play. And shout out to Larry Vickers,

463
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: who is now the head coach of Auburn women's basketball,

464
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: coming from in Norfolk State, so shout out to him.

465
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: But I said, Norfolk State, y'all came to compete, and

466
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: I appreciate the committee giving them a thirteen seed. I

467
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 2: was so sick of HBCU was getting fifteen and sixteen

468
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: seeds always like they don't deserve that, they don't deserve that.

469
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: So with all of that said, there was some very

470
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: good basketball in the first and second round.

471
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: So I totally agree with you on that.

472
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: And when I watch a lot of the HBCUs play

473
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: honestly te and I told my husband, I said, like

474
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: Norfolk State. I was like, they're just a couple of

475
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: players away from really being able to not.

476
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: Just compete, but upset some of these teams because it's

477
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: usual it usually.

478
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Comes down to size, right, like HBCUs don't have the height,

479
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: but the athleticism, the quickness they do. But you're right,

480
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: they gave Maryland all that and then some work the

481
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: other game. I didn't think it was that good. I

482
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: thought maybe it be more competitive, but I was happy

483
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: for Haley vanlift her little and TCU and TCU coming

484
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: out with the win.

485
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: Make it the Sweet sixteen the first time? Was it?

486
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: Is it ever? Or since like two thousand and two

487
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: or something.

488
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: Like, it's since I two thousand something. They make it

489
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: as Sweet sixteen. But I'm about the I'm about to

490
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: hit the fan. I am TCU on my final four.

491
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: You do not stop that, I sure do.

492
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 3: I sure do. You don't know, you don't I sure do,

493
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: I sure do.

494
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 2: I have had CCU in my final four because I

495
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: think they can upset nor to day, and I don't

496
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: even think it's an upset. It's not an upset because

497
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: they're already didn't they That's that's my point.

498
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: That is exactly my point.

499
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: And they're a different Notre Dame team that lost to TCU,

500
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: because I think this Notre Dame team is better.

501
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: But I don't think we've ever shared our final four.

502
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: But my final four is UCLA, South Carolina, Yukon and TCU.

503
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: Wow, So I think I have all of them except

504
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: I have a Notre Dame.

505
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes it a tc YE but makes sense

506
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 3: because I believe it's interesting. I believe.

507
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: I think the way that the bracket falls is that

508
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: I've always thought that Texas was the most vulnerable number

509
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: one seed, and not necessarily the like the like. I

510
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: don't think that the worst number one seed. No, that's

511
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: not what I mean. I just mean vulnerable because of

512
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: the bracket that they play in. Right when I look

513
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: at all of the teams that everyone has to go through,

514
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 2: to me having to go through first off, we were

515
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: to really see what they're made of because they're going

516
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: to have to face that Tennessee press. Because I was like,

517
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: if y'all gotta face Tennessee or Ohio State. Both of

518
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: these teams gonna full court press you. So we really

519
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: gonna see which Texas team shows up. And Texas, to me,

520
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: I think against the press, you got to be able

521
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: to shoot and pass very well. And yes, they sometimes

522
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: have offensive lapses. As much as Madison Booker and Rory

523
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: Harmon can go off, they also have moments where I'm like,

524
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: daw y'all, I.

525
00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: Mean, the strength of this Texas team is their defense. Yes, yes,

526
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: And so when they got a score of the ball,

527
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm nervous. That's all I'm saying. They're not saying it.

528
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 3: Can.

529
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: I love me some Madison Booker Rory Harmon, but offensively,

530
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, where are your offensive weapons?

531
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: You need a little bit more when you need them,

532
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 3: when you need them, exactly when you need them.

533
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: And so if they start off early and they get

534
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: going early, then hey, it's good for them. But you're right,

535
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: the strength of Texas is their defense. And so I

536
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: questioned whether or not they were the most vulnerable. Then

537
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: to me, I thought they were, So that left Notre

538
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: Dame TCU, and so for me, I thought TCU had

539
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: the best chance if Texas was out like if Texas

540
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: for whatever reason doesn't. But I think I actually have

541
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: Texas and TCU face it off and the.

542
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: Elite eight, and.

543
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: I do like I'm here for I'm here for chaos.

544
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm here for chaos. Don't nobody think this that's my

545
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: personal feelings. I'm here for chaos.

546
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: Well, listen, after hearing Haley.

547
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: Vanlist's postgame interview when they beat Louisville, I think it

548
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: was that game.

549
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm here for it.

550
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: Like everything she had to say was all about about God,

551
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: what she's been through, how she's gotten through it, the darkness,

552
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: the challenges, and she just poured her heart out and

553
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: like I felt all of that too, and I was like, girl,

554
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: you better share your testimony with these people. You better

555
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: let them know how you've overcome all of the things

556
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: and who's been there with you, who's gotten you through.

557
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: So my point being, I know what God can do,

558
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: So having got on your side ain't a bad thing.

559
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 4: Team when you're talking about trying to make it to

560
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: the Final four, surelin, I mean I look at this

561
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: TCU team and I remember that, like a year ago,

562
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 4: this was a TCU team that had a walk on

563
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: tryout facts.

564
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: That was just like you could ball, if you could play,

565
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: probably you know what I'm saying, you could come, you

566
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: can come try out and you can come play with us.

567
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you could barely get two thousand people in

568
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: the stadium that was the same. So definitely going to

569
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: show them some love. But yeah, I think UCLA did

570
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: a great job of maintaining. And now the one other

571
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: team that I want to mention before we wrap up

572
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: is Ole Miss.

573
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: Ole Miss is another team.

574
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: First of all, shout out to the SEC, because the

575
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: SEC got six teams in the sweet sixteen, and I'm like,

576
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: y'all do that. But I want to show some love

577
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: to Ole Miss, not just because Coacho and Madison Scott

578
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: are my sorority sisters, but also because they did not believe.

579
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we talk about people who were upset with

580
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: their CD. Coachy Oh was not quiet about the fact

581
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: that she didn't think Old Miss should have been a

582
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 2: five seed. She felt like they should have been seated higher.

583
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: She felt like they should have been hosting at home.

584
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily disagree with them, And so how

585
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 2: do you share that you're upset about some You go

586
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: on the court and you handle business and they did that,

587
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: and they did that against the top like they didn't.

588
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: Baylor did not come and just lie down like they

589
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: had to bail out in those last few minutes in

590
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: order to kind of get comfortable for sure to win

591
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: that game. And so I think, you know, I think

592
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: about Old Miss, and before Coach Yo got there, I

593
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: don't even think I mentioned Old Miss in basketball at

594
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: all before Coach Yo got there, to be honest, no,

595
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: I never even no never. And since Coachyo's been there,

596
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: they've got what four NCAA tournament appearances too Sweet sixteen appearances,

597
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: Like Yo has turned that team around. They believe in her,

598
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: they believe in her ability. And I'm telling you, man,

599
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: that's why I love black women, because you can put

600
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: us in any situation. We will figure out how to

601
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: make lemonade out of limits fit. We will figure it out.

602
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: And Coacho has figured it out. So I am excited

603
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: to see what they do in the Sweet sixteen.

604
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: I am too.

605
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I didn't even really watch Old

606
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Mess before Coach Yeah. So I'm just really excited what

607
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: she's doing. And they could they they could be some

608
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: a spoiler, they could surprise the people the game.

609
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 3: I want to talk. I don't even want to talk

610
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: about it.

611
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: I just want to mention because I was highly disappointed.

612
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: I thought the LSU Florida State game would be better.

613
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: I did too, What what girl?

614
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: That game was? The first half I was like, Okay,

615
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a good one. And then.

616
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Came halftime and the second half it was a completely

617
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: different story.

618
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: I was like, oh yeah, time to change the channel. Yeah, yoh,

619
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 3: I could do it.

620
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean between Mikayla, Anissa and Andflage, yeah, way too much.

621
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: But now, does that make you rethink if there is

622
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: a clash between l s U and u C l A.

623
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: If there is a clash because.

624
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: NC State is still lurking around, NC State is gone

625
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: on something to say about something, But that makes does

626
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: that make you rethink if there is a clash between

627
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: LSU and UCLA that maybe ls you got a better

628
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: shot than folks may give them credit for.

629
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: I think they probably have a better shot than folks

630
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: giving them credit card. But but I'm still going to

631
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: go with Ukla. Listen, I think you CLA is playing

632
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: really good ball right now. I do to me if Lauren.

633
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: When Lauren Betts decided she's gonna get on the block

634
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: and be dominant and demand the basketball and.

635
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: Be physical and the like.

636
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: LSU doesn't really have anybody that can defend Lauren Bett's

637
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: one one. I don't think Anissa Morrow is undersized to me,

638
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: but I love her. I love how she battles, how

639
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: hard she plays. But I'm I'm still gonna roll with

640
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: you still if that happens, if that matchup ends up happening.

641
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,479
Speaker 2: She ain't undersized to you. She's an undersized period. She's six,

642
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: she's six one, Lauren six seven, ain't nothing she can,

643
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: ain't nothing. No nobody gonna do with you. I ain't

644
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: know nobody gonna do with that. But at any rate,

645
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: it should be shaking up to be an incredible continuance

646
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: of women's basketball. In the NCAA Tournament announcement, we are

647
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:23,120

Speaker 2: and level this thing off. So stick with us, all

654

Speaker 2: right show, it's time for us to go ahead and

655
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 2: level off and wrap this thing up. But I will

656
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: say I am excited about the excitement that continues to

657
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: exist around women's basketball and the women's basketball tournament. I

658
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: give the men some credit. They kind of stepped it

659
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: up this year. Last couple of years, I've been a

660
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: little confused this year. This year, the games have been competitive,

661
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: the name association with some of the teams have been

662
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: so I have enjoyed flipping between men's and when's basketball

663
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: all first and second round. So I'm excited to do

664
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: the same. As a matter of fact, I think this

665
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: weekend I'm gonna go to the sports book and watch

666
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: the game. You know what, Speaking of the sportsbooks, can

667
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: I just tell you real quick how I lost out

668
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 2: on two hundred dollars? Sure, So I had my little, quick,

669
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: little four leg parlay.

670
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 3: Right.

671
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: This was on Thursday, and so I had Arkansas because

672
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: I knew Arkansas was gonna win. This is men's now,

673
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: I had Arkansas. I knew Kansas was gonna win. I

674
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: didn't care who they was playing, as John Caliperry, that

675
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: man is going to the sweet sixteen.

676
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: So I had.

677
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: Arkansas and then I had Saint John's by eighteen and

678
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: a half because I was like, Saint John's gonna win,

679
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: work Peteino going and at least get y'all out the

680
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: first round.

681
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 3: So at eighteen and a half, I had Drake over.

682
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: I forgot who they Missouri, I forgot who they was playing,

683
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: but I was like.

684
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm going for the underdog because a five and a

685
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 2: twelve or twelve always gets one. So there's that and dream.

686
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: But then I mistakenly added Baylor.

687
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: Hear me out.

688
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: I mistakenly added because I was only going for a

689
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: thursday's sleep and Baylor didn't play until Friday morning, so

690
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that I added Baylor to my parlay.

691
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: So when I went to check my slip at the

692
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 2: end of Thursday, I was like, oh crap, I got

693
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: another game. But I was winning, so my ten dollars

694
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 2: bet I had sixty dollars. It was like, you can

695
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: cash out now for sixty dollars or you can wait

696
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: until tomorrow, and it's two hundred and ten dollars, and

697
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know, it's an eight nine matchup.

698
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 2: I don't trust Baylor. Let me go ahead and take

699
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: my sixty dollars because that's a fifty dollars come up.

700
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: Baylor beat the hell out of the damn team. The

701
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: next day, I was mad, like I should have kept

702
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: my I mean, listen, scam money, don't make money.

703
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 3: Scare money, don't make money. That's what they say, scan money,

704
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: don't make money.

705
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: I said, you know what I gotta do better? You

706
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 2: know what I gotta do better. So that, yeah, that's

707
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: my that's me. That's how I'm leveling off this week.

708
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: I'm not pulling out my bed.

709
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,400
