1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to straight Fire for Thursday, March eighteenth. 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: We are twenty four hours away from the start of 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: March Madness. I hope you're feeling good like I am. Oh, 5 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm so fired up about the tournament. Obviously, huge breaking 6 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: news late on Wednesday, Moses Right, the a c C 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: Player of the Year for Georgia Tech, COVID casualty for 8 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: the Yellow Jackets. He will not suit up against Loyola 9 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: of Chicago. Obviously a massive damaging loss for Georgia Tech 10 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: and there's really no scenario where they can take down 11 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: Loyola Now. Now the big question becomes does Loyola get 12 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: caught looking ahead to a matchup with Illinois in what 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: should be a phenomenal game in the second round. But 14 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: that's the big n c A news at the top. 15 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: There was some minor NFL news, but really nothing of consequence. 16 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm still shocked that Kenny Golladay does not have a home. 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna dig into the Deshaun Watson allegations. I'm 18 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: still a mildly surprised that Juju Smith Schuster is without team. 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: But this is the NFL free agency, and wide receivers 20 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: clearly are not as valued as you think. All right, 21 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: this is going to be a brief intro because we 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: have a phenomenal interview, not on my part.

Thanks for having me on. That was quite 56 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: an intro. You can be my agent, man, I should 57 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: travel around with you will be well. You listen. We 58 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: had Jim Jackson on recently and I would talk about 59 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: how like late eighties, early nineties, late Nate nineties, bass 60 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: college basketball into the two thousands is just as good 61 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: as it got. And you know you were at Stanford 62 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: lighting it up. I mean basically as soon as you 63 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: got there as a freshman. Um, it just felt like 64 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: that was the heyday of college basketball. I I like 65 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: it now, but it just doesn't feel the same. Am 66 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: I right or wrong? There? No, you are right. I'm 67 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: not gonna argue there, especially Jim Jackson, Like the nineties 68 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: were the heyday, right when Bobby Hurley is now coaching 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: in the Pack twelve, when he was on you know, 70 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: Coach K's first national title teams with Grant Hill and 71 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: Christian Latner, the U n l V running Rebels, which 72 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: I have two older brothers, Jason. They were running rebel fanatics, 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: and those teams were loaded with NBA players. It's very 74 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: rare now that a college basketball team is loaded with 75 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: NBA players. You have one or two and that makes you, 76 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, a big time team. But those teams had 77 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: three or four sometimes, And so yeah, we are in 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: an era of college basketball where the best products are 79 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: in a hurry to leave for the NBA and I 80 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: am not blaming them. I'm just saying that's the product 81 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: that we you know, that's the world that we live in. UM. 82 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: And so because of that, college basketball teams are diluted 83 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: with talent. Still a lot of good players, but not 84 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: as many as there were twenty years ago. I looked 85 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: at or freshman roster. You had the Collins twins who 86 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: obviously made the NBA and Mark Madsen who danced and 87 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: want a title with the Lakers. So I mean, listen 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 1: that first year you were there. I do want to actually, 89 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: before we get to your your college years, I want 90 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: to start with this. You got older brothers, Um, I 91 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: believe you all played Division one sports? Is that accurate? 92 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: So I have three brothers and we're an A, B, C. 93 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: D order. By the way, Jason from from all this 94 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: two youngest, so it's easy to keep track of the 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: Jacobson brothers. So Adam brock Casey, I'm the third. Derek. 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: The first three played Division one basketball. The last one 97 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Derek did not. So Dereks the weekly can the change. 98 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: But he's a good man. So we're still proud of him. 99 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: But he wasn't like I'm curious, what are those pickup 100 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: games like growing up. I mean, now kids you have 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: to pry them off the devices. Back when you were 102 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: coming up, I mean it was I don't even was 103 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: the internet like in its infancy, maybe when you were 104 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: in high school or the first time everyone on then 105 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: and it wasn't high school, but we didn't have a 106 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: home computer. Um so yeah, but you're asking about our 107 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: our pickup games. So my dad was a construction supervisor 108 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: for the same company for thirty years. He was a carpenter, 109 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: just awesome with his hands, poured cement, could build stuff 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: with wood, whatever. And he built a half court basketball 111 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: court in our backyard growing up, full with lights, so 112 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: it had like three different lights so at nighttime we 113 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: could just flip it on. He also put a sound 114 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: system where you can put a cassette tape Rocky, whatever 115 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: you wanted to do, right Cranky. You can get jumpers 116 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: in while the lights and the sound we're we're motivating you. 117 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, I play. My older brothers are both four 118 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: years older and six years older, so I never played 119 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: high school basketball with them. You were always way stronger, 120 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: way taller than me growing up, but that fueled my 121 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: fire and Jason, I mean it was like, I wanted 122 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: nothing more than to be like my brothers. Like some 123 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: kids grew up wanting to be like Magic Johnson, I 124 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: grew up in l a wanting to be just like 125 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: my brothers. They were my heroes. I would have done 126 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: anything to share the court with them. And so by 127 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: the time I actually matured physically enough to play, I 128 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: was so motivated. And they had kind of already, um, 129 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, paid the path right, they had already been 130 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: Division one basketball players. I've I've already seen college coaches 131 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: come into my home to recruit my brothers. So I 132 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of had an understanding of how that world was 133 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna go, and so nothing really surprised me. I was 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: kind of ahead of ahead of the game because of them. 135 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: So I do have to ask to your dad big 136 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: in the construction, by the way, that sounds like the 137 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: most incredible backyard ever was sick. But so did he 138 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: play sports? Did your mom? Like, obviously, you guys are 139 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: all gigantic human beings, right, Yeah. So I'm the tallest 140 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: of my family. I'm six six, My dad's six four. 141 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: My dad is still ranks as the twentie all time 142 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: leading scorer in San Diego State history. So my dad, um, 143 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: what was big time basketball player. He grew up in 144 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: San Diego. And if you ask Bill Walton, I don't 145 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: know if you've talked about him in a while, but 146 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: if you ask, if you talk to Bill, if you 147 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: mentioned the name Von Jacobson, he will just lose his mind. 148 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he'll talk about my dad Vaughn like he 149 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: talks about rivers, lakes and streams. Okay, anyways, because my 150 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: dad's a little bit older and was Bill Walton's kind 151 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: of hero. He was one of the best players in 152 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: San Diego. So yeah, Like, my dad did not play 153 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: in the NBA, didn't play professionally, but was an awesome 154 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: basketball player um in his own right and taught me 155 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: everything I know. Wow. Okay, So you're watching your brothers 156 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: get recruited, uh, and then all of a sudden you 157 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: come along and start pumping up with fifty points a 158 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: game in high school at US you know about thirty 159 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: three points a game my junior and senior year. So 160 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: when you decide to go to Stanford, what was the 161 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: big impetus there? Well, Stanford made a Final four, their 162 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: first Final four, UM during my junior year of high 163 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: school and to be totally honest with you, Jason. I 164 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: did not really consider Stanford up until that point. Um, 165 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: I knew this Standford was an amazing school, and I 166 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: did take my academic seriously. But I wanted to play 167 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: basketball at a top twenty five college. I didn't want 168 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: to just go to a good school. I wanted to 169 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: go and play for a program that perennially went to 170 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: n c A tournaments and competed for their conference and 171 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: a national title. What was like your your dream school 172 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: or what were you had your sight set on before Stanford? Yeah, 173 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: so I wanted to go to Duke. Oh yeah, yeah. 174 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: And my brothers again, my brothers hated Duke, like they 175 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: thought like, oh, you know, preppy Duke whatever. They're like 176 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: part of that Duke hater nation. They that's why they were. 177 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: They were running rebels. They were like more street like, 178 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: let's you know, let's just right beat them by thirty 179 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: and Bobby Hurley poops's pants or whatever exactly. Yeah. So 180 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: my brother was like, no, don't go to Duke, and 181 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: my guys, you don't understand how amazing Duke is year in, 182 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: year out and how impressive coach k So I was 183 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: recruited by coach K and also Quinn Snyder, who was 184 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: coach K's assistant coach at the times, now the head 185 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: coach of court for the Utah Jazz UM and Kentucky 186 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: was also on my list. I was a Southern California kid, Jason, 187 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: and I did not want to stay in Southern California. 188 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to go somewhere and kind of start fresh 189 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: and kind of spread my wings, make my own name. UM. 190 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: So I was willing to go to another state another program. 191 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: Oh Rick Majeris and Utah was was definitely UM in 192 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: my top five as well. He was a fantastical Yeah, 193 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: like Keith or Andre Miller. Those teams were awesome. Alex Jensen, Yeah, 194 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: really good. So anyways, it came down to Duke and 195 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: Stanford UM where I wanted to go, and they were 196 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: recruiting myself and Mike dun Levi Jr. And both Mike 197 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: and I were friends and we played on an AU 198 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: tournament together, so we kind of knew that each other 199 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: we were being recruited by the same schools. Anyways, Mike 200 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: surprised me done lady by really committing early, like it 201 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: was way before we started our senior year. And Mike. 202 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: Mike committed to a Duke. So hold on, hold on, 203 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: so he commits. Did you guys are buddies, right, I 204 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: mean through au and everything. Do you think he I mean, 205 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to drive a wedge here. It's thirty 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: years ago. But do you think he did that because 207 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: he knew they wanted you two and it was only 208 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: going to be one or the other. No, I don't 209 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: I think that um he was had He had the 210 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: same mindset as I did, which is Duke's a hard 211 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: um place to pass up. Honestly, you know, if coach 212 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: k says, hey, we want you to play for our program, 213 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: it's it is darn near impossible to turn that down. 214 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: They were They were putting guys into the NBA year 215 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: after year. I mean, Kentucky at the time wasn't what 216 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: Kentucky is now like an NBA factory. Kentucky was just 217 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: a really good program. They weren't what Duke was. And 218 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: we're talking this is okay. Duke was the premier. Not 219 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: only are you going to compete for national titles and 220 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Final four's, you're gonna go to the NBA if you perform, Well, 221 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: that's what Kentucky has now become as well. But Duke 222 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: was the leader, so I don't blame Mike at all. 223 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: Apparently they wanted Mike more than they wanted me because 224 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: they didn't give me the option really to commit right now. 225 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: So it wow, So Sta, I mean, but you end 226 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: up going to Stanford get the All American status? I 227 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: will say, Uh, Stanford had some good players since you 228 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: children's obviously the kids, your Williams was good. Um, Lopez twins, 229 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: the Lopez twins. YEA, forgot about those guys. Um. I 230 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: don't know what are your thoughts on Stanford as a 231 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: program before we get to this current NCA tournament? What 232 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: were they? It's tough now for me, do you? Did 233 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: you know that that Stanford has only made one tournament 234 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: in the last thirteen seasons. That's the longest droute that 235 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: they've ever been in since the early eighties. So right 236 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: now Stanford is not doing well. Um. They were on 237 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: the bubble this year and lost their last five consecutive games. Well, 238 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: Williams was out for some of them, right, what's that 239 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: Williams was out for some of those? Yeah, Zaire Williams 240 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: missed two different he had two different deaths in his 241 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: family Jason, which is really unfortunately his uncle, and then 242 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: I don't recall who the second one was, but yeah, 243 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: that required him to miss I believe five games. Um. 244 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: But even before that, Zaire as as much as potential 245 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: as he had, he had an up and down freshman season. 246 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: It was hard for him to gain his footing and 247 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: uh and get into rhythm. But still an amazing player 248 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: that that we probably won't see in the Stanford uniform anymore. 249 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: So let me quickly ask you. You know Stanford's hurting, 250 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: and yeah, did you ever thought of going into coaching 251 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: buddies with Doug Gottlie But no, he's explored the option. 252 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, you've given your name and your history, 253 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: you won internationally, you went to the NBA college and 254 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: he thought to coaching at all? Or sure, yeah, I 255 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: definitely thought about it. My older brother Adam, right, ABC, 256 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: go up to Adam. My brother Adam has been coaching 257 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: at the Division one level of Jason for seventeen years now. 258 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: He was an assistant coach at Pacific at the University 259 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: of Hawaii and now he's at cal Baptist University in Riverside, UM. 260 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, we talked about coaching all the time. I 261 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: know the pros and cons of that lifestyle of that. 262 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: I love hoops so much, so of course I've thought 263 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: about it. Um, if Stanford ever came knocking on my 264 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: door and asking me to be a part of a 265 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: coaching staff, I don't know if I could turn that 266 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: down to be that good. But I do love my 267 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: job now as a as a broadcast And you got 268 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: the kids at home obviously that that's tough for me 269 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: with the coaching life. I have three daughters, Yeah, and 270 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: they wouldn't like if daddy became a coach. So let 271 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: me ask, are you coaching them and you've sports at all? 272 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Or no? Uh no, I have before yeah, when they 273 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: were growing up. I have a fourteen year old daughter, 274 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: a twelve year old daughter, and a ten year old daughter. 275 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: Right now, the twelve year old is my last hope, Jason, 276 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: my last She's the only one that plays basketball right 277 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: now because my older daughter plays volleyball. Okay, the youngest 278 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: daughter plays water polo, which is big here in something 279 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: I've started to realize. Volleyball. I don't want to go 280 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: into it like where I live exactly. The bottom line 281 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: is Volleyball is massive at these high schools, like bigger 282 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: than basketball at some of them. For for girls sports, 283 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: volleyball is way way more popular and big than Bassbays. 284 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the current n c A tournament, 285 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: and I don't know what do you want to start with? 286 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Gonzaga Illinois? Everybody has them, Casey in the championship game. 287 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: You've been doing this long enough, you know that never happens. 288 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: So it never works out like that. It's not never, Okay, 289 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: So I've done a ton of research, Jason, You and 290 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: I can talk about this for hours, right, Um, okay, 291 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: Let's start though at the top. So my bracket has 292 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: three number one seeds. Okay, And you might be saying, Casey, 293 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: do you're playing it safe? All right? So well let 294 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: me explain. I I have a reason for my three 295 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: number one seats. But firstly, back up and say, it 296 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: has happened that all four number one seeds have made 297 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: the n C eight tournament, and it's happened recently. Two 298 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: thousand and eight was the was the one time it happened, 299 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: and that was with Kansas. It was UM Memphis u 300 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: c l A in North Carolina. That was Mario Chalmers 301 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: had have threed force overtime against Memphis. John Calipari, Derrick 302 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: Rows all that that that was Those were four number 303 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: one seeds. Okay, so three number one seeds has happened 304 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: five times, so it doesn't happen often, but there is 305 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: certainly precedent where three numbers one seeds have happened. Here's 306 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: my reasoning personally for why I think it's gonna happen 307 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: this year. I have two big reasons. Okay. The first 308 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: is this tournament does not have much travel. Okay. Everybody 309 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: is going to the state of Indiana, Okay, and they're 310 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: not all gonna be playing in Indianapolis, but the surrounding areas. Okay. 311 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: I believe that less travel eliminates a huge variable that 312 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: often causes chaos with young college basketball teams. Okay. So, 313 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: and then couple that with there's only fans allowed in 314 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: these buildings Jason's. If you've been to an n c 315 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: A A tournament game, you know that the higher seeds 316 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: they're playing against an underdog, Okay, and when an underdog 317 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: starts to gain momentum in these atmospheres, the biparsan crowd, 318 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: which isn't all just for North Carolina, right, it could 319 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: be a Gonzaga crowd plus a Perdue crowd plus a 320 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Memphis crowd. They all start to cheer for the underdog. 321 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: And what you see in these atmospheres is the the 322 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: superior team, the higher ranked team gets a little bit tight, 323 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: and the underdog team starts to really get you know, 324 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: some crowd support. There's gonna be less of that, which 325 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: I think favors the good teams. Okay. And then the 326 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: last thing I'll say, and this might be reason number three, 327 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: uh to justify my three number one seeds in my 328 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: Final four jays, but it's this. This year in college basketball, 329 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: there is a clear separation gap between the top four 330 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: teams in the country and the rest of everybody else. 331 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: Those top four teams were Gonzaga, Baylor, Illinois, and Michigan. 332 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Now Michigan is dealing with an injury to one of 333 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: the best players, so you can, you know, we can 334 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: argue about Michigan, but those four teams were the best 335 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: four teams, and that's not always the case in college basketball. 336 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes the difference between a number one seed and the 337 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: number two seed really isn't that big. But you can't 338 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: tell me that the difference between Gonzaga and Houston or 339 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: Ohio eight, it's massive. Okay, So that those are my 340 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: reasons if you're buying what I'm selling, No, I'm buying 341 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: a lot of that. I had not really considered the 342 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: travel aspect. That's good. Um. Let me ask though about 343 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: assuming Michigan's the final the one number one you don't 344 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: have in the final frac So who do you have 345 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: in that bracket? Is it? Let me get Alabama is 346 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: my second favorite team in the entire country, Jason Case What, Yeah, 347 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: my favorite team are the are the Zags? Okay, incredible 348 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: what they're doing and we could talk, you know, more 349 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: specifically about them. But if I could touch on Alabama 350 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: real quick, I am so impressed. They're my favorite team 351 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: to watch. They play an amazing style of basketball. Um, 352 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: and it's pretty rare. So Nadoes is now in his 353 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: second year in Alabama and I call them a three 354 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: and D team. What does that mean? Alabama is a 355 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: top ten defensive team in the country. They put a 356 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: bunch of athletes on the floor who are smart, who 357 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: understand their role and get all over you. They sometimes 358 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: are risky. They sometimes you know, gamble for steals. And stuff. 359 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: But they play super hard and they are willing to 360 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: play thirty seconds on defense in the shot clock, but 361 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: once they get the ball or get the rebound, they 362 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: do not want to use thirty seconds on the offensive end. 363 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: They shoot almost half of their shots from three, which 364 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: I love. They're not one of the best percentage wise 365 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: three point shooting teams. I think they're around thirty six 366 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: percent um, but they play that style better than anybody 367 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: else in the country. And so even and then here's 368 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: the last point I'll make. A lot of teams need 369 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: threes to win, right, you'd agree with that, especially in 370 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: a one and done format. Alabama is unique and the 371 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: fact that, yeah, they take a lot of three, so 372 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: you might say, hey, if they have a bad night, 373 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna be done right, not not not necessarily with Alabama, 374 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: because they're so good defensively. Even if they don't shoot 375 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: particularly well on a given night, their defense keepsen in games. 376 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: That's why I I really like this team a lot. 377 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: Alabama obviously had that awesome SEC run beat L s 378 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: U in a thriller. I'm curious though, you know, yes, 379 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: their defense is great, but offensively they can be prone 380 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: to just kind of Buckling. You know they've got two 381 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: sophomore guards leading the way. I know they have a 382 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: couple of veterans and Petty and Herb Jones, but young backcourt? 383 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: Does that concern you at all? I have three big 384 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: things that I usually look at. The coach Nate Oates 385 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: checks that box, you know, then that's the Ken Palm 386 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: defensive stats. But then it's the guard play, you know, 387 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: guard's rule in March, I just wonder. You know, the 388 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: kid is the Villanova transfer, right, he's a nice player, 389 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: and and Shackleford's very good. But something has to me off, 390 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: what what about Florida State? Do you like them in 391 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: that bracket or not? Really? So let me tell yeah, 392 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: I have Florida State getting to this to the Elite eight. 393 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: So I have Florida State and Alabama facing off against 394 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: each other, looking at my bracket with exactly that matchup. Now, 395 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: um Alabama the you know, do you wonder worry about 396 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: public perception? And Casey? I say this because a lot 397 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: of people tune out college hoops and maybe after the 398 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl and then they start watching obviously in early March, 399 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: and everybody saw Alabama go on that run. Everybody saw 400 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Everybody saw Illinois and the general public is 401 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: gravitating towards those teams. Um, you think that hurts or 402 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: helps or does that not mean anything? I don't think 403 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything to me Um as an analyst. 404 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: I've watched Alabama from the start of the season. In fact, 405 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: they lost their first game of the year against my 406 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: alum Stanford. Yes, I just in Alabama didn't know who 407 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: they were yet, they had not ironed out roles. Javan quinterally, 408 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: I believe, started that game and now he comes off 409 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: the bench for them as kind of like their leader 410 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: of the second unit. But you touched on something, Jason, 411 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: which is the guard play rules in March, and I 412 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: agree with you. Okay, but that doesn't mean that your 413 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: backcourt has to be juniors and seniors. I would like 414 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: it to be, okay, I would prefer it not to 415 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: be a freshman. But these guys have like sophomores who 416 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: have real experience. I mean, Jaden Shackelford is a soft more. Yeah, 417 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: but you know he's made fifty seven threes on the year. 418 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: He knows exactly what his role is. I mentioned Javon Quinley, 419 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: he had a stop at Villanova that didn't go very 420 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: well at all. Yeah, he's it's toughened him up. He's 421 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: a nice player. Um, and you know, John Petty is 422 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: a senior in their backcourt. One of the better three 423 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: point shoots in the country last year and followed it 424 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: up this year. The backcourt is good enough to win 425 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: a national title. I believe that. Okay, let's go to 426 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: a couple of more teams out here on the West 427 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: coast Oregon. I like them a lot to make a 428 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: run again, checking the boxes. Dana Altman, incredible coach. You've 429 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: seen what he's done in his last three trips to 430 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: the tournament. Will Richardson the point guard three of their 431 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: six losses this year. We're without him, and I like 432 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: how they have the lottery pick. I think he's a 433 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: lottery pick at least d Rte the wing. He's like 434 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: twenty three years old. Where are you on Oregon? Can 435 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: they take down Iowa? Dude? So far, Jason, you and 436 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: I are seeing eye to eye. I'm looking at my bracket. 437 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: I have Oregon to the Elite eight, losing to Gonzaga. 438 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: So here's a few things on Oregon you already mentioned. 439 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: Will Richardson who sat out the first I think month 440 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: and a half of the season because he had a 441 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: torn or a broken thumb on his shooting and he's 442 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: a left handed player. Um, he's now finally starting to 443 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: round into form and that makes this Oregon team so 444 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: much better. UM. Duarte has played himself into a first 445 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: round traft pick. You mentioned lottery certainly. Um, I'm super 446 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: happy for him because he's a two way player and 447 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: I think he will fit into a lot of NBA 448 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,479 Speaker 1: rosters and be a guy that can guard and make shots. 449 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: He's also super athletic. They have another kid named Eugene 450 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: Almarori and he's a transfer from Rutgers. Sat out last year, 451 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: so out a year just kind of looking at the program. 452 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: He's a six six You can call him a center 453 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: if you want to. Because this Oregon team is really small. 454 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: It's the one weakness they have. I had to admit 455 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: that they are a small team. But Almaroei is a 456 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: nightmare matchup because he's six six but probably two d 457 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: and thirty five pounds. He can handle the ball, he 458 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: can pass. He can also shooting from from three, although 459 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: that's not what he does well. What makes Oregon so 460 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: good and by the way, Jason, Oregon in their last 461 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: three n c A tournaments has gotten to at least 462 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen or more. They haven't made every tournament 463 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: over the last several years. They've missed a couple, but 464 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: when they get there, Dana Altman has this team clicking. 465 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: What makes them difficult is their style of play. Defensively. 466 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: This team plays a lot of switching man to man. 467 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: They'll show you a zone, a two, three zone, and 468 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: then it'll go pretty much morph into man to man. 469 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: So teams often under just a few days of preparation 470 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: really struggle to figure out how to attack Oregon. That's 471 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: why I think they have an advantage. They'll need it 472 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: against Garza. That's gonna be a tough matchup. You said 473 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: the size alright, real quick team that I'm not that 474 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: bullish on that. You saw a lot of in the 475 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: Big East Craighton, they had their coaching snaff who we 476 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: won't get into that, but you CSB to me kind 477 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: of feels like a live dog in that one. I'm 478 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,479 Speaker 1: actually picking them to pull the upset. Um. We know 479 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: in the last for A tournaments, thirty five of them 480 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: A twelve has beaten A five and um, I don't 481 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: know Creighton good shooting team, but they have to play 482 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium. Casey, as a shooter, do you 483 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: recall like I know some of the numbers have tried 484 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: to debunk it, but college kids, small gyms and then 485 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: going to a Lucas Oil stadium, the backdrop a little 486 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: different and anything there. It is totally fair. Like I 487 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: was a shooter. And if you interview coaches and players, Jason, 488 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: they will lie straight to your face and say, no, man, 489 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: we play you know, for Craton for instance, we play 490 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: at the c h I hellth Center Alma. It's a 491 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: big NBA type arena. I am telling you those huge, 492 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: vast empty arenas that are meant for football converted to basketball. 493 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: They mess with your mind. I'm telling you. Not only 494 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: is it a bigger stage, the balls are branded, the 495 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: basketballs are brand new, they're always like slippery them been 496 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: used for a couple of weeks, right, and then that backdrop. 497 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: It does mess with you. I don't think you are 498 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: as good of a shooting team as you would be otherwise. 499 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: But to that point, Jason, uh UCSB needs threes to 500 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: go into Okay, this isn't a team that like pounds 501 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: you down low. Okay, that they need jumpers to go down. 502 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: I actually have Creighton in this. You mentioned their coach snaffoo. 503 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: We don't want to talk about that, but I think 504 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: it did emotionally drain them. However, they did advance to 505 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: the Big East Final. Okay, I know they fell flat 506 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: on their face against Georgetown, but at least they did 507 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: win two games too, and including Yukon. They beat Yukon, 508 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: a very good team by the way, in the semi finals. 509 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: So I think I pushed back on people who just 510 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: want to write off Creton. This is a starting five 511 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: that has all upper classman. Marcus Zagorowski is one of 512 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: the more underrated point guards in the country. They check 513 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: a lot of the boxes. U. C. S B is 514 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: a good team, but they are not better than Creton. 515 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: Creton is fully healthy. I'm taking the Blue Jays, all right. 516 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: Let's touch on two more. Um. A lot of people 517 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: are kind of out on Baylor. UM. I don't want 518 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: to say they limped to the finish, but they had 519 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 1: a couple of COVID issues and they they're not as 520 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: dominants they were when they were eighteen and oh and 521 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: you still have them get into Final four. Who do 522 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: you have them beating to get there? Um? I have 523 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: them being Texas Tech. Who is my other? Yeah, Texas 524 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: Tech is my other dark car. So Oregon and Texas 525 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: Tech are the two teams that I'm picking to kind 526 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: of reak some havoc in their respective regions. What are 527 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: you seeing on Texas Tech? So, I don't love Texas 528 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: Tech as much as I love their two thousand and 529 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: nineteen version. Of course, that that advanced to the finals 530 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: against Virginia and loss right a really close game too. 531 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: They could have won a national title. Um, I'm a 532 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: big believer in Chris Beard and their style of play. 533 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: Similar to Oregon, Jason, I think Texas Tech is an 534 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: extremely difficult team to prepare for. Like in the Big Twelve, 535 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: people know about them. They lost a lot of close 536 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: games in the Big Twelve, But scouting is so much 537 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: harder if you if you're not familiar with how a 538 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: team plays, it's it's hard to do that. And I 539 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: think Texas Tech their brand of defense where they completely 540 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: try and keep you on one side of the floor 541 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: and dare you to make skip passes all night long, 542 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: is hard to do. Again, Big twelve teams are used 543 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: to it. Mc McClung to me, is the best and 544 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: most valuable transfer in the entire country. I'm not saying 545 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: he's the best player in the country, but we have 546 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: we've we've seen we see hundreds of kids transfer every year. 547 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: And mc McClung the transfer from Georgetown to now Texas Tech. 548 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: Um is, he fits exactly what they needed, a score 549 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: on the wing that can create his own shop. If 550 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: this team makes threes, like a lot of teams, I 551 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: think Texas Tech is a nice, nice pick to advance. Plus, 552 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: I think Ohio State is is them in Houston are 553 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: the two weakest number two seeds in my bracket. I 554 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: just think I don't know if you know, but Ohio 555 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: State is the seventy ninth best defensive team in the country. Um. 556 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: And in my research tells me that the last eight 557 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: final fours, we have have not seen a single team 558 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: make a Final four in the last eight years that 559 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: is outside of the top fifty in defensive efficiency. They're 560 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: just not good enough defensive. That's a good number. Um, 561 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: All right? Real quick? On Texas Tech, casey, they are 562 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: owing two against Baylor, owing two against West Virginia, own 563 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: two against Kansas and two against Oklahoma State. Not a 564 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: single one of those teams you mentioned, Jason are in 565 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: their bracket. Yeah, that's a great point. And six of 566 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: those eight were single digit losses. Ken Palm has them 567 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: as one of the unluckiest teams UH in the country. Now, 568 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: let me just say the Utah State matchup. We know 569 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the Utah State has the big kid kata Um. Texas 570 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: Tech has no size. They give up a ton of 571 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: offensive boards in a rock fight against Utah State. Could 572 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: they could be in some trouble. Absolutely, and that that 573 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: was the flaw with Oregon too. There are not a 574 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: lot of teams that have big, big guys who are 575 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: who are solid underneath, and Kada is definitely the number 576 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,959 Speaker 1: one problem that Texas Tech has to solve. But again, 577 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: the way that they defend, where they overload the side, 578 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult for Utah State. I'm telling you 579 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: watch this game, it's gonna be difficult for them to 580 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: feed Kate to the ball on their initial offense. They're 581 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: going to have to get ball reversals, then dribble action, 582 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: and then they'll be able to to find kata If 583 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: they can't do that and they turn the ball over. 584 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: They're not even gonna get the feed Kate to the 585 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: ball for alley oops or duns um. Alright, real quick, casey, 586 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: final question. The Gonzaga Zags undefeated, and I just I 587 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: don't know how to quantify this, but you were a 588 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: player the idea of being undefeated and getting tight later 589 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: in the n c A, Tom, that's a real thing. 590 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: But how do you factor that into your picks? That's 591 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: what my only issue is, Like, I don't see them 592 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: getting tight until the final four. If they have to 593 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: face Florida State or Alabama teams that can match them 594 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: up on the wings, that's gonna be a major problem. 595 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: And they ride a lot of shooting. So I think 596 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: it's a little bit over overblown, Jason. Remember this is 597 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: the Gonzaga team that was ranked number one in the preseason. 598 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: They have been number one wire to wire, Okay, So 599 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: I like to me that when the fans want to say, 600 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: is there gonna be pressure on them? They've had the 601 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: pressure all year. Man, it's not. This isn't like something new. 602 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: They didn't come out of nowhere. They were expected to 603 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: be good. They've been way better than that. They are 604 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: the best regular season college basketball team that I have 605 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: seen since two thousand and fifteen. Okay, that was Carl 606 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns as a freshman, the Harrison Twins, Devin Booker 607 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: as of coming off the bench. That teams barely played. Man, 608 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: it was crazy. And if you remember, that team was 609 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: thirty eight and oh going into the Final four, and 610 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: they had all the pressure. We were talking about them 611 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: on FS one every single night about you know, hey, 612 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: is this team gonna go undefeated? And they played Wisconsin 613 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: and that game was down to the wire. And I 614 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: don't think that Kentucky lost that game because they caged 615 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: under the pressure. They lost because they faced a really 616 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: good Wisconsin team with Frank Kaminski and Sam Decker and 617 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: bow Ryan as their head coach. Okay, so can Gonzaga lose. 618 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely they could lose. I don't think they'll lose until 619 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: they get to the Final four. But this team can 620 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: absolutely lose. But Jason, last thing I'll say, if they 621 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: do lose, it's not going to be because they cage 622 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: under the pressure. It's because they faced another really good 623 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: team in a one and done scenario and that other 624 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: team just happened to play that And I guess Casey 625 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: final thought, it sounds like you have Gonzaga losing before 626 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: the championship. I do not. I have Gonzaga winning the 627 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: national title. I have no Vaga and Baylor playing that 628 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: game that should have happened on December five. Um. And 629 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: by the way, that game was supposed to be in Indianapolis, 630 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: if you remember. So. To me, it's like kind of 631 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: poetic justice that we are going to get that that 632 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: matchup again. It just happens to be in April instead 633 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: of December. Love it all right? Casey Jacobs said, Oh well, Casey, 634 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: I forgot to ask, um if you were transporting you know, 635 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: college in high school, Casey Jacobson, Currently, I mean you 636 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: are basically what every NBA team looking for, right, a 637 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: wing who can jack threes. I mean you were shooting 638 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard three's back in the day, were you not. Yeah, 639 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: I do feel like I kind of missed out that 640 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: I was maybe like a decade too early in my 641 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: NBA career. I did play four years in the NBA 642 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: and then another eight years in Europe, But yeah, I 643 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: think I could have squeezed out a couple more years 644 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: and a couple more million dollars if I was playing 645 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: in two thousands. Did that kid from Michigan who was 646 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: on the Miami Heat last year? Um, his Duncan Robins. 647 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson. I'm not just saying because you're a tall 648 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: white guy, but Duncan Robinson's kind of Casey Jacobson in right, 649 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: is he not? Yeah? Yeah, he similar game. He had 650 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: a little bit quicker of a release, and that's what 651 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: makes Duncan Robins is so tough to guard. But certainly 652 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: we were, um yeah, like Rain, I'm sorry, I apologize. 653 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: He was like a Division three guy, right, you were 654 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: like an All American in high school. McDonald's all American. 655 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: So I'm giving him too much credit. But the release 656 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: is interesting. So he had his at quick release. You 657 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: think that's what makes Duncan Robinson really unique, Jason, is 658 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: his quick release. I mean, there there are shooters all 659 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: across the country, and I was one when I played 660 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: in college, But what separates Duncan from other players is 661 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: his quick release. I would put Kyle Corver in that 662 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: same category. Kyle Corver, he was a six seven wing 663 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: who could shoot in like the blink of an eye. 664 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: You know, that's what makes those guys so unique, Wow, awesome, alright, 665 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: great stuff. Casey Jacobson obviously follow him on social media 666 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: watch his analysis on one Casey, thanks for taking the 667 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: time and enjoy the tournament. Pleasure was all mine. Good 668 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: luck and your braggett Jason. I'll need it, ye,
