0:46
Speaker 1: We're glad to have you. We're going to talk.
0:48
Speaker 2: Hoops, We're going to talk to some football. We've got the
0:53
Speaker 2: writers roundtable coming up. We're going to look at our brackets.
0:56
Speaker 2: Minds busted, totally busted, and we'll do that. We're gonna
1:03
Speaker 2: hear from the losers and the winners of Duke and
1:07
Speaker 2: Yukon yesterday, So we got that going on for us,
1:11
Speaker 2: which is nice. Let you in on the rest of
1:14
Speaker 2: the week as well. Michigan has been made and ever
1:19
Speaker 2: so slight favorite to win the national Championship, slightly ahead
1:24
Speaker 2: of Arizona. Yukon is the biggest long shot at seven
1:31
Speaker 2: to one. Illinois is in at four to one. Illinois
1:37
Speaker 2: and Yukon will play the opening game of the Final
1:40
Speaker 2: four a little after four o'clock from Indianapolis, Texas time, and.
1:49
Speaker 1: Second game is the primetime game.
1:52
Speaker 2: That's no surprise with Michigan and Arizona, who have been
1:57
Speaker 2: two best teams, two of the three best teams all
2:01
Speaker 2: year long. The Huskies missed seventeen of their first eighteen
2:07
Speaker 2: to three point attempts. Duke shot fifty two percent from
2:15
Speaker 2: the field, They were plus six in rebounding. They held
2:21
Speaker 2: Connecticut to forty percent from the field, but they turned
2:26
Speaker 2: the ball over eight times in the second half. The
2:30
Speaker 2: Boozer brothers, who were great offensively, Cameron had four turnovers.
2:37
Speaker 2: Caden had three, including two in the last minute, including
2:41
Speaker 2: the last one that was the killer, and Yukon hits
2:46
Speaker 2: the shot to upset Duke and Advance. Saint John's has
2:52
Speaker 2: been pretty good under Rick Patino. Patino was hired in
2:57
Speaker 2: March of twenty three. He's turned around the program with
3:02
Speaker 2: back to back thirty win seasons and thirty six and
3:07
Speaker 2: four in the Big East. Pretty good. That earned him
3:11
Speaker 2: a new contract today. Exact number isn't known, but he's
3:20
Speaker 2: making over five Milski. That would make him one of
3:24
Speaker 2: the top ten highest paid coaches. Tennessee's basketball coach Rick
3:29
Speaker 2: Barnes says he will return next season. Barnes has led
3:35
Speaker 2: the Balls to three straight Elite eights. He says they
3:42
Speaker 2: just have a figure out a way to get a
3:46
Speaker 2: little bit better. Next season will be his twelfth in
3:51
Speaker 2: Knoxville after seventeen years in Austin.
3:57
Speaker 1: Speaking of Tennessee, just in.
3:59
Speaker 2: Games spent five years under Rick Barnes. He's going to
4:04
Speaker 2: North Carolina State to replace Will Wade as their new
4:08
Speaker 2: head coach. Gainy played for North Carolina State from ninety
4:13
Speaker 2: six to two thousand. Wade, of course left to return
4:19
Speaker 2: to LSU, where he joked at his introductory news conference
4:25
Speaker 2: today he may be the only coach to be fired
4:29
Speaker 2: twice from the same school.
4:34
Speaker 1: We'll see about that. I mean, most coaches are fired.
4:37
Speaker 2: So eventually that'll probably happen. Look who is leading the
4:43
Speaker 2: AL West. The Texas Rangers are in first place. Very
4:50
Speaker 2: hopeful that by the time I get to Arlington Friday
4:54
Speaker 2: for the home opener, they will have clinched the division.
4:59
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter on the mound. Tonight they are in Balmer.
5:06
Speaker 2: That game will start at five thirty five, Texas time.
5:10
Speaker 2: The Rangers beat the Phillies eight to three yesterday meeting.
5:15
Speaker 2: They took two of three from the NL champs to
5:21
Speaker 2: start the season. The Rangers got pretty good pitching for
5:32
Speaker 2: McKenzie Gore. In fact, five no hit innings ended up
5:39
Speaker 2: with five and a third, two runs, three walks, seven k's,
5:45
Speaker 2: the first Ranger starter since two thousand to earn the win,
5:51
Speaker 2: locks seven plus strikeouts and allow two or fewer earn
5:56
Speaker 2: runs in his pitching debut for the team. Jacob Lats
6:04
Speaker 2: had four plus no hit innings on Saturday. Andrew McCutcheon,
6:11
Speaker 2: a late sign the veteran, had a three run Jimmy
6:16
Speaker 2: Jack brandon Nimo, another off season acquisition, had a two
6:23
Speaker 2: run shot in the Rangers win yesterday. The Astros, after
6:30
Speaker 2: losing the first two to the Angels came back to
6:33
Speaker 2: win two. They are of course trailing the Rangers in
6:39
Speaker 2: the Al West. We will have that game for you
6:42
Speaker 2: tonight beginning at six thirty as the Astros host the
6:50
Speaker 2: Red Sox. Lance mccullors will be on the mound the
6:56
Speaker 2: Astros wearing their City Connect uniforms to in case you care.
7:02
Speaker 2: Mcculor's making his season debut. Last pitched in an exhibition
7:08
Speaker 2: game March twenty fourth. Made his return last year after
7:14
Speaker 2: missing the entire twenty three and twenty four seasons. It'll
7:19
Speaker 2: be interesting to see what happens with Lance mccullors tonight
7:26
Speaker 2: on the mound for the Houstons. Gus Malzon and former
7:35
Speaker 2: cow head coach Jeff Tedford have been added to the
7:39
Speaker 2: College Football Playoff Selection Committee. Arkansas athletic director A Hunter
7:45
Speaker 2: Yurachek will return as the committee chair for the second year.
7:50
Speaker 2: Louisiana athletic director Brian Maggert will join the group. The
7:54
Speaker 2: three new committee members will serve three year terms, replace
7:59
Speaker 2: out going members Chris Alt, Jeff Long, and Miami of
8:06
Speaker 2: Ohio athletic director David Saylor. I don't expect to be
8:10
Speaker 2: any better, honestly, I'm.
8:13
Speaker 1: Not sure what the answer is.
8:16
Speaker 2: Well, I know what the answer is. They need to
8:19
Speaker 2: get ESPN out of it. But hey, that's not going
8:22
Speaker 2: to happen because they're right in the checks. Yeah, I
8:28
Speaker 2: don't think the change in committee members is going to
8:31
Speaker 2: be any big effect. By the way, the Aggie baseball
8:35
Speaker 2: team completed a sweep at Missouri over the weekend.
8:40
Speaker 1: I think I saw they scored thirty nine runs. I
8:43
Speaker 1: believe that's right.
8:45
Speaker 2: I think they outscored the football team, which put up
8:47
Speaker 2: thirty eight on the Tigers this year. They will be
8:53
Speaker 2: in action tomorrow evening with a Tuesday night game.
8:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty nine runs. Who do they play tomorrow night? Trade?
9:02
Speaker 2: Yes, the Bearcats are in town. That's a six o'clock game.
9:07
Speaker 2: We will be on the air with the pregame coverage
9:10
Speaker 2: at five forty five.
9:13
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt will be here. Is it Thursday? I think? Are
9:18
Speaker 1: they playing Thursday? Friday, Saturday? Because of the easter. Vanderbilt
9:23
Speaker 1: just swept Tennessee.
9:27
Speaker 2: Yes, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and six o'clock Thursday.
9:31
Speaker 1: I believe.
9:32
Speaker 2: Okay, so we got that going on for us. And
9:36
Speaker 2: how about Friday? Is that also six o'clock?
9:39
Speaker 1: Okay?
9:40
Speaker 2: So six Thursday, six Friday, and and two o'clock on Saturday. Okay,
9:44
Speaker 2: it's Easter weekend. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Both of those games
9:49
Speaker 2: Thursday Friday will be out at five forty five Thursday
9:54
Speaker 2: and Friday. Okay, we're gonna take a break. We're gonna

10:41
Speaker 1: Evan Kanty and Michelle are unsportsmanlike.
10:44
Speaker 5: Caliperry is so awesome at producing millionaires in the NBA.
10:48
Speaker 6: There's nobody better.
10:49
Speaker 5: If you want to go and win championships, don't go
10:51
Speaker 5: to Arkansas.
10:52
Speaker 1: What's his job?
10:53
Speaker 5: Is his job to produce pros or to win games
10:55
Speaker 5: in college. He hasn't been to the final fours in
10:57
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. And if you look at the ross Tersey's
10:59
Speaker 5: had since then, all world NBA talent, and they don't
11:02
Speaker 5: get to the place that you think they're supposed to get.
11:05
Speaker 7: Unsportsman line. Listen in weekday mornings from Fine to Adam
11:08
Speaker 7: issoone eleven and ninety three point seven FM.
11:22
Speaker 8: My hat don't hang on the same nail too long.
11:27
Speaker 9: My ears can't stand to hear the same old song.
11:32
Speaker 8: And I don't leave the highway long enough.
11:36
Speaker 6: The bog down in the mud.
11:40
Speaker 1: I've got rampling fever in my blood.
11:45
Speaker 2: I called this ramant.
11:47
Speaker 1: That's mighty borrow. Thank you for being with us.
11:50
Speaker 2: We have a high school report tomorrow. We'll have some
11:55
Speaker 2: baseball preview tomorrow of the Sam Houston series. We'll have
11:59
Speaker 2: a little football tomorrow. Don't know if we'll have any
12:04
Speaker 2: NCAA basketball preview. We might. We've got the Clark Eisenhower
12:11
Speaker 2: edition coming up on Thursday. Scott cland Dinna will be
12:14
Speaker 2: with us on Wednesday. His bracket was similar to mine,
12:18
Speaker 2: So it's busted as well. I don't know what to say. Look,
12:26
Speaker 2: I'm not sad that Duke lost. I'm never sad when
12:29
Speaker 2: Duke loses. I was sad for me because I had
12:34
Speaker 2: Duke in Arizona in the finals. You know, it's easy
12:42
Speaker 2: to say that Arizona and Michigan is going to be
12:44
Speaker 2: the de facto national championship game. But didn't we see
12:50
Speaker 2: that when Houston and Louisville played in nineteen eighty three,
12:53
Speaker 2: that that was the de facto national championship game in
12:57
Speaker 2: North Carolina State one. I tell you can't, Well you
13:04
Speaker 2: can because I did. But I shouldn't have picked against
13:07
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley. I should know better. I texted a friend
13:12
Speaker 2: who's a big Kansas fan who wants Danny Hurley at Kansas.
13:16
Speaker 2: I don't think Danny Hurley is leaving personally. I think
13:20
Speaker 2: he's fine where he is, since he's in his third
13:23
Speaker 2: Final four in four years and has won two already.
13:29
Speaker 2: My point is, I'm not sure I would bet against them.
13:33
Speaker 2: And you say, well, they just threw up a lucky
13:36
Speaker 2: shot to win the game yesterday. Well maybe, but his
13:41
Speaker 2: players performed under pressure, right, I would argue that duke
13:46
Speaker 2: players did not perform well under pressure. And I like
13:52
Speaker 2: John Shire. I mean, John Shire has won a lot
13:55
Speaker 2: of games, but I guarantee duke fans arrest because he
14:01
Speaker 2: hasn't won the game. And if you're a duke, you
14:03
Speaker 2: have to win the game, and he hasn't done that.
14:05
Speaker 2: And he's lost two big leads the last two years
14:09
Speaker 2: with really good teams. He had a really good team
14:12
Speaker 2: this year. But guess what, even though these freshman kids
14:16
Speaker 2: play a ton of basketball, that's what everybody says. Look,
14:19
Speaker 2: they're freshmen, but they're really not. They've played all over
14:22
Speaker 2: the US, they played high level amateur basketball, they're getting paid,
14:26
Speaker 2: they're not freshmen.
14:27
Speaker 1: Well, guess what.
14:29
Speaker 2: The freshman yesterday reacted like freshmen when the pressure was
14:33
Speaker 2: really on. You know, normally you hold the basketball the
14:41
Speaker 2: game's over, but Kyan Boozer didn't do that. He had
14:48
Speaker 2: two guys standing.
14:49
Speaker 10: In the front court underneath the basket and decided, hey,
14:53
Speaker 10: let's throw it to them. And I'm not saying I
14:55
Speaker 10: wouldn't have done the same thing, and you would have
14:57
Speaker 10: done the same thing, because it's always easier sitting on
15:00
Speaker 10: your couch saying you should have would have could have
15:04
Speaker 10: rather than the cauldron of the pressure.
15:06
Speaker 2: We'll talk with the writers. We've talked a lot about this.
15:09
Speaker 2: We talk about coaches who sometimes don't do well in
15:12
Speaker 2: these pressure situations, that have to make a decision in
15:15
Speaker 2: three seconds. Right, And you go, well, they're getting paid
15:18
Speaker 2: a lot of money. Yes they are, and they're getting
15:21
Speaker 2: paid a lot of money to make decisions when the
15:23
Speaker 2: pressure is the greatest, right, But that doesn't always work out.
15:27
Speaker 2: It didn't work out yesterday for Duke, which frankly was
15:32
Speaker 2: the better team for you know, thirty eight of the
15:36
Speaker 2: forty minutes probably or at least thirty five of the
15:39
Speaker 2: forty minutes, they couldn't hold onto the basketball. Now, that's
15:43
Speaker 2: point guard play. Caleb Foster was injured, wasn't himself playing
15:50
Speaker 2: on one foot? Had ankle surgery less than three weeks ago,
15:56
Speaker 2: and that makes a huge difference. They didn't hit some
15:59
Speaker 2: free they should have hit. They missed crucial free throws.
16:05
Speaker 2: What do we talk about in games like this? You've
16:08
Speaker 2: got to make free throws. It's so simple. I don't
16:14
Speaker 2: understand why you can shoot the ball from twenty six
16:17
Speaker 2: feet with guys hanging all over you and you can't
16:20
Speaker 2: shoot the ball from fifteen.
16:21
Speaker 1: Feet with no one in front of you.
16:26
Speaker 2: Pressure. Pressure. Anyway, I started all of this dive tribe
16:34
Speaker 2: with my bracket being busted. I had Arizona Duke in
16:38
Speaker 2: the finals, with Arizona winning. I was so close yesterday.
16:42
Speaker 6: I was.
16:45
Speaker 2: Zero point four seconds away yesterday from getting that matchup.
16:50
Speaker 2: But and I got to tell you, uh, Michigan Arizona.
16:57
Speaker 2: Like I said, people are going to look at that
16:59
Speaker 2: as the facto national championship, and it probably is.
17:04
Speaker 1: In my mind.
17:06
Speaker 2: Duke, Arizona Michigan were the three best teams all year long,
17:09
Speaker 2: the most consistent teams, the best teams in college basketball.
17:13
Speaker 2: If you want to throw Florida in down the stretch,
17:15
Speaker 2: you can. But I thought those three teams were the
17:21
Speaker 2: three best. But guess what two of them are standing,
17:26
Speaker 2: Arizona Michigan, and they played in the semifinals Saturday night,
17:30
Speaker 2: So that'll be fun.
17:32
Speaker 1: Okay.
17:34
Speaker 2: By the way, let me just say Caden Boozer sat
17:37
Speaker 2: at his locker yesterday and answered questions from the media
17:40
Speaker 2: and looked right in the camera and said, hey, I
17:43
Speaker 2: blew it from my whole team.
17:46
Speaker 1: He didn't hide.
17:48
Speaker 2: I got a lot of respect for both those kids,
17:51
Speaker 2: They've been well raised by their parents. Cam Boozer was
17:56
Speaker 2: a man yesterday. He's been a man all year. He's
17:59
Speaker 2: the player of the year in college basketball, just about unguardable.
18:04
Speaker 1: But he didn't win.
18:08
Speaker 2: He did take two stupid questions from the media after
18:12
Speaker 2: Oh good gosh, these questions are just brutal. I don't
18:16
Speaker 2: understand how some of these people make a living in
18:20
Speaker 2: the business are in because they can't ask a question.
18:23
Speaker 2: And I want you to listen to these questions. Here's
18:25
Speaker 2: here's Cam Boozer, and then after Cam Boozer, John Shire.
18:30
Speaker 11: It's cannot be uh more disappointed and feeling for our
18:38
Speaker 11: guys at the same time of you know, just trying
18:42
Speaker 11: to process what happened.
18:43
Speaker 6: I don't have the words. I don't have the words.
18:48
Speaker 11: What I do know is literally this team, what each
18:53
Speaker 11: individual player went through just to play the game. I've
18:57
Speaker 11: never seen anything like it, what these guys did have
19:00
Speaker 11: to get ready their foot injuries. He's got a black guy,
19:04
Speaker 11: He's playing the whole game, and I'm incredibly sorry for
19:09
Speaker 11: these guys that they gotta go through this.
19:12
Speaker 6: This is this is on us.
19:17
Speaker 11: We're gonna be in this in this together and the
19:19
Speaker 11: year that this guy's had has been absolutely incredible, absolutely incredible,
19:25
Speaker 11: And Uh, I don't have words other than just how
19:29
Speaker 11: proud proud I am of these guys and how disappointed
19:32
Speaker 11: we are.
19:33
Speaker 12: Uh Camp BDBD China, Frenchie BDB China. Looking at tonight's
19:39
Speaker 12: gave me to top loss. So I want to know
19:42
Speaker 12: what did you seek? What do you think? What do
19:45
Speaker 12: you think you did well tonight? And where do you
19:47
Speaker 12: feel you could be been better tonight? What tonight's game?
19:54
Speaker 13: I mean, I think we fought hard, we gave a lot,
19:59
Speaker 13: but as a whole, we could have gave a lot more.
20:01
Speaker 13: In the second half, we came out a little flat,
20:04
Speaker 13: gave them a little bit of life. When you're playing
20:07
Speaker 13: a team as good as Yukon, that's all they really need.
20:09
Speaker 14: So yeah, Dan to a wakeup call DT dot com cam.
20:16
Speaker 14: You heard your coach talk about how you're gonna go
20:18
Speaker 14: through this together. What does it meant to be led
20:20
Speaker 14: by John Shire? And just what you can say to
20:23
Speaker 14: his leadership and maybe what he said after the game.
20:30
Speaker 13: Honestly, this whole year it's been a huge blessing. I
20:34
Speaker 13: mean I came here and I learned so much from
20:39
Speaker 13: our players, not even just from the coaches, you know,
20:41
Speaker 13: our whole our whole players.
20:43
Speaker 6: Man, We're such a connected group. Man. I love those guys.

20:56
Speaker 13: had five freshmen come in. We had five guys returned,
21:00
Speaker 13: and I'm just you know, the way they coached us.
21:02
Speaker 13: They brought us together and taught us to fight, taught
21:05
Speaker 13: us to play together. And I'll learned so much this year.
21:08
Speaker 13: I'm never gonna take it for granted, man, But yeah,
21:14
Speaker 13: I'm just super thankful for it all.
21:16

21:53
Speaker 17: you saw if you consider calling time out, if you
21:56
Speaker 17: wanted them to hold it. What was going through your
21:58
Speaker 17: mind on that last possession.
22:00
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, you just we just have to secure it, right,
22:03
Speaker 11: I mean, we got it, they had to foul. I
22:06
Speaker 11: was ready for a timeout and we just got to
22:09
Speaker 11: hold on. And you know, it's easy to look at
22:12
Speaker 11: that play. You know, I look at every play that happened,
22:15
Speaker 11: especially in the second half. This is not about one play.
22:17
Speaker 11: It's about every play to put us in that position.
22:20
Speaker 11: And that's what you don't want to do, where one
22:23
Speaker 11: play something can happen. And so for me, look it's
22:27
Speaker 11: it's gonna be tough, but it's not gonna be on
22:32
Speaker 11: one play.
22:35
Speaker 17: You mentioned the second half. I think eight turnovers in
22:37
Speaker 17: the second half, including you know, I think Isaiah slipped
22:40
Speaker 17: on one, Cam had one, a couple of live ball turnovers.
22:44
Speaker 17: How much of a difference was that in kind of
22:45
Speaker 17: fueling their comeback?
22:46
Speaker 11: Of course, I mean we just gave them easy baskets
22:49
Speaker 11: and we just had to secure the ball better. And
22:52
Speaker 11: that's a recipe to put yourself in that position. And
22:58
Speaker 11: you know that that was a big difference in the game.
23:01
Speaker 6: Obviously.
23:04
Speaker 18: My name is Godrin or Winda with Pro Age Sports coach.
23:07
Speaker 18: Do you think do you think there was anything positive
23:11
Speaker 18: that you could have done in the second half? Because
23:14
Speaker 18: I know you had I believe, a fifteen point lead
23:17
Speaker 18: going into the second half. Is there anything that you
23:20
Speaker 18: think you could have done differently?
23:23
Speaker 11: There's not a person in this room, including me, that
23:26
Speaker 11: doesn't replay everything that you could do and how you
23:28
Speaker 11: can help. I mean, obviously, and that's that's part of
23:34
Speaker 11: being in this seat. That's part of being in this spot.
23:38
Speaker 6: That's what that's what.
23:43
Speaker 11: Of course, end of the day, we gotta finish it
23:48
Speaker 11: off end of the day and you know, will reflect,
23:52
Speaker 11: we'll learn do all that.
23:55
Speaker 1: But yeah, of course, I mean, come on, these questions
24:02
Speaker 1: are just stupid.
24:05
Speaker 2: Okay, there's no such thing as a stupid question, only
24:08
Speaker 2: stupid people who ask the questions. Let's go to the
24:13
Speaker 2: winning side. Now, Alex Caravan now is going to be
24:18
Speaker 2: in his third Final four.
24:20
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
24:22
Speaker 2: Uh, they're going to talk about you're gonna hear from him,
24:26
Speaker 2: and then you're gonna hear from the star Braidlen Mullins,
24:31
Speaker 2: the hero of the game. And then we're going to
24:35
Speaker 2: hear from Dan Hurley, the coach.
24:40
Speaker 14: Second half.
24:41
Speaker 11: I think that it could be argued, you guys took
24:43
Speaker 11: your competitiveness up a notch. When did that shift happen
24:46
Speaker 11: and how did it happen?
24:50
Speaker 19: I think it happened in the second half. I think
24:51
Speaker 19: it was the start the second half. We started being
24:53
Speaker 19: more physical, We started really playing to the calling card
24:56
Speaker 19: that we play at and you know, we just felt
25:00
Speaker 19: we let our offense really dictate how we were playing
25:02
Speaker 19: in the first half when we necessarily didn't have shots
25:05
Speaker 19: fall or the flow of our offense really you know,
25:08
Speaker 19: it got disrupted and disrupted. So I think what we
25:11
Speaker 19: took pride on the defensive end, everything changed.
25:14
Speaker 20: Yeah, piggyback off what AKA said. I mean it was
25:16
Speaker 20: definitely that second half. I mean one in a halftime, coach,
25:19
Speaker 20: we got who got sweet for the defenses? You know,
25:21
Speaker 20: we got to give it all week at cut. So
25:23
Speaker 20: they coming out of that halftime down with fifteen whatever,
25:25
Speaker 20: it was just going down, Like I say, you at all,
25:28
Speaker 20: keep chipping away, keep chipping away at the lead and
25:31
Speaker 20: end up getting it back and the rest is history.
25:34
Speaker 6: This guy hit the freaking game winner? Is that sure?
25:38
Speaker 1: You've been asked already talk us through it.
25:40
Speaker 6: What did you see?
25:41
Speaker 21: What did you think would feel?
25:43
Speaker 6: How did it happen?
25:45
Speaker 8: Man?
25:46
Speaker 22: Uh, it's just I mean, yeah, it's still a loss
25:49
Speaker 22: of words, still processing all like what just happened. But uh,
25:53
Speaker 22: I mean I think that last possession, it was just
25:54
Speaker 22: we were trying to file the worst free throw shooter
25:56
Speaker 22: on the floor and Silas ended up deflecting the past
26:01
Speaker 22: to the other end of the floor. And it's just
26:03
Speaker 22: I had the ball and I know Ak had just
26:06
Speaker 22: hit once, so I threw him in four seconds left,
26:08
Speaker 22: and man, he just threw the ball back to me.
26:09
Speaker 22: I knew how to pull one up. So man, I'm
26:12
Speaker 22: just happy that was that was the one that.
26:13
Speaker 6: Went down tonight.
26:18
Speaker 23: See, that's uh, you know, just the epic, just another
26:22
Speaker 23: chapter in the in the Yukon Duke and c late tournament. Uh,
26:28
Speaker 23: you know, dramatics, you know, obviously a really tough way
26:32
Speaker 23: for their season, you.
26:33
Speaker 6: Know, to end.
26:34
Speaker 23: I you know, I thought they played great. I thought
26:37
Speaker 23: they punched us in the mouth with incredible force, you know,
26:42
Speaker 23: the the Boozer Boys. I mean I've been admirers of,
26:47
Speaker 23: you know, of their approach to basketball. I mean, all
26:49
Speaker 23: I've ever watched these guys do. Uh, you know, it's
26:53
Speaker 23: just win everything that they play in over the course
26:56
Speaker 23: of their career and grassroots and then what the impact
26:59
Speaker 23: they've had the Duke and you know obviously across the.
27:02
Speaker 6: Board, you know, just their program.
27:05
Speaker 23: You couldn't have more respect for you know, John Shire
27:08
Speaker 23: and and and what they've done since he's been here.
27:13
Speaker 23: But you know, I think for us, you know, the
27:17
Speaker 23: story was just uh that that game was a reflection
27:19
Speaker 23: on the season. It's been a season where we've been
27:22
Speaker 23: dealt with injuries to key players at critical points of
27:26
Speaker 23: the year that we've had to overcome, and we've had
27:29
Speaker 23: to show a lot of fortitude and resilience and just
27:31
Speaker 23: kind of claw way through the season. And uh, just
27:35
Speaker 23: the game was a microcosm of that. Just we fought,
27:38
Speaker 23: we clawed, put ourselves in position, uh to take advantage
27:42
Speaker 23: of a mistake that they made and uh, you know,
27:45
Speaker 23: one of the most brilliant shooters that you'll ever see
27:46
Speaker 23: shoot a basketball. Uh, you know, made an incredible legendary
27:51
Speaker 23: march shot.
27:53
Speaker 1: Coach upfront to the left.
27:54
Speaker 24: We'll start on campus, Sam Callahan Daily campus.
27:58
Speaker 16: I know you, I know your grandfather great.
28:02
Speaker 24: Uh, obviously you just mentioned one of the great March shots,
28:07
Speaker 24: and you've you've seen I mean you were you were
28:10
Speaker 24: in the stands for the Latner shots. Have you seen
28:13
Speaker 24: anything like what Braanlan just just did to seal the game?
28:17
Speaker 23: No, I mean I've had it done to me. I've
28:22
Speaker 23: been on the bad side. Maybe not a shot like that,
28:24
Speaker 23: but uh, just in a game of that magnitude, you know,
28:29
Speaker 23: especially when we were I mean, they make it tough
28:32
Speaker 23: on you because they're obviously an excellent defensive team, but
28:35
Speaker 23: you know, we probably were gonna look at film and
28:37
Speaker 23: see shot quality on a number of the threes that
28:40
Speaker 23: we missed and say, man, like we it felt like
28:43
Speaker 23: a little bit of you know, some type of justice
28:46
Speaker 23: where you know, we we missed a lot of really
28:49
Speaker 23: good shots throughout the game, and then uh, you know
28:53
Speaker 23: we we had to make a really hard shot, you know,
28:58
Speaker 23: so you know, the things just even down at that point.
29:01
Speaker 25: Let's say, staying up front of the left Hartford Jord
29:06
Speaker 25: Harford current Dan, what does it take you go down
29:09
Speaker 25: nineteen in the first half against a team like that.
29:12
Speaker 20: You know, they've only lost twice this year, and you know,
29:14
Speaker 20: the players that they have But what does it take
29:16
Speaker 20: for your team to stick in that and for you
29:17
Speaker 20: to stick it in as a coach?
29:19
Speaker 23: I mean strong men. You know, it takes strong men,
29:23
Speaker 23: It takes it takes a strong team, It takes a
29:26
Speaker 23: tough team. It takes tough men. It takes strong men.
29:29
Speaker 23: It takes a bunch of players that that let us
29:32
Speaker 23: coach them, let us coach them hard. That starts in June.
29:38
Speaker 23: We run a very intense program. You know, we're on
29:43
Speaker 23: these guys. We put them, we stress them in practice.
29:46
Speaker 23: We put a lot of pressure on them on a
29:49
Speaker 23: daily basis to do the right things, to do everything
29:54
Speaker 23: at game speed, to do everything hard, to do everything tough,
29:57
Speaker 23: to be prepared, because that's what it takes to win
30:02
Speaker 23: games like this, or or to stay in a game
30:04
Speaker 23: like that where you're getting out played, you're having a
30:08
Speaker 23: really bad shooting night at the absolute worst time. But
30:12
Speaker 23: what kicks in at that point is is just a
30:14
Speaker 23: bunch of strong men, a strong team, players that let
30:18
Speaker 23: their coaches coach them hard and prepare them for tough moments.
30:24
Speaker 1: We have two on the left side, all the way back.
30:25
Speaker 17: We'll start on the left side.
30:27
Speaker 16: How you doing coach the DeAndre the way network.
30:29
Speaker 23: I'm doing great.
30:30
Speaker 6: Bro, Hey, I'm doing great.
30:35
Speaker 26: What's something that happened tonight that you saw that didn't
30:38
Speaker 26: show up in the statuet but radically changed the momentum
30:40
Speaker 26: of the game.
30:41
Speaker 23: Well, I just thought that to start the game, we're
30:44
Speaker 23: a little bit I just thought we were a little
30:47
Speaker 23: bit on our heels. I thought we were too defensive defensively,
30:51
Speaker 23: I think that, yeah, we didn't get after them and
30:55
Speaker 23: try to pressure them or make them uncomfortable. I just
30:59
Speaker 23: think that, you know, we probably maybe you know, gave
31:02
Speaker 23: a little bit too much respect to their individual players.
31:06
Speaker 23: And I just thought that Malachi Smith with some ball pressure.
31:09
Speaker 23: I thought Silas with some ball pressure. I thought Jayden Ross.
31:13
Speaker 23: I just thought that, you know, we we got after
31:16
Speaker 23: them a little bit more and turned them over, and
31:19
Speaker 23: turnovers have been an issue for them like they have
31:21
Speaker 23: been for us. So you're just just up in a
31:24
Speaker 23: little bit of defensive energy. I thought helped us a lot.
31:28
Speaker 2: You know, if you're compiling a list of who's best,
31:31
Speaker 2: I think right now, and I know it's flavor of
31:35
Speaker 2: the month with coaches in any sport, but Dan Hurley
31:38
Speaker 2: is the man in college basketball right now. I don't
31:41
Speaker 2: think anybody can argue that if you're making and Scott
31:46
Speaker 2: Clinden and I talked about this on Wednesday.
31:51
Speaker 1: If I'm North Carolina.
31:52
Speaker 2: First call I made, first call, I'm Kansas and that
31:56
Speaker 2: hasn't been decided yet. First call, I make him tell
32:00
Speaker 2: you no. Right, you wave money at him and make
32:04
Speaker 2: him tell you no. I don't think he'll leave. You know,
32:07
Speaker 2: he's just got another He's going to get another raise, another,
32:11
Speaker 2: you know. I don't think he's got a great situation obviously,
32:16
Speaker 2: But as we've said many times, these guys are different.
32:19
Speaker 2: They don't think like normal people. That would be the
32:25
Speaker 2: call I make. I went Dan Hurley and he has
32:28
Speaker 2: been unbelievable with this program. Third final four in four years,
32:33
Speaker 2: back to back Maddi's and yeah it took a last
32:38
Speaker 2: second shot, but guess what his gud.
32:40
Speaker 1: Made that last second shot.
32:42
Speaker 2: They came from nineteen down against a team that's lost
32:45
Speaker 2: twice all year long, in a high pressure environment.
32:49

37:38
Speaker 2: the writers are here on a Monday.
37:40
Speaker 1: Right now, we're.
37:41
Speaker 2: Gonna hear from coach Elko, who visited late last week
37:45
Speaker 2: with media members about the early results from spring football.
37:50
Speaker 25: So three practices in not a lot of revelations. I'm
37:53
Speaker 25: sure you guys are gonna want all of these, like
37:55
Speaker 25: big synopsises on where we're at, good energy. A lot
37:59
Speaker 25: of new face is so up and running and trying
38:01
Speaker 25: to get ready to go.
38:02
Speaker 21: So from there, what do you just got the.
38:06
Speaker 30: Guys that?
38:14
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think obviously we talked a lot about when
38:17
Speaker 25: we got.
38:17
Speaker 21: Here the need to upgrade playmakers.
38:20
Speaker 25: On offense, and that position group in particular was a
38:23
Speaker 25: group where we felt like we had to do it.
38:25
Speaker 25: And so I think when you're out there now and
38:27
Speaker 25: you see we've got a lot of different body types.
38:29
Speaker 25: We've got a lot of long kids that got great
38:31
Speaker 25: athleticism and speed. We've got guys who can win and
38:34
Speaker 25: separate in the slot. I just think we've we've built
38:36
Speaker 25: a room that has a lot of dynamic playmakers and
38:39
Speaker 25: a lot of playmaking capability.
38:41
Speaker 21: You know how good they can be? I don't know.
38:42
Speaker 25: You know, we'll see how we handle practice in summer
38:45
Speaker 25: and all of the things that come along with being
38:47
Speaker 25: a good football player.
38:48
Speaker 21: But I do think there's a lot of athleticism in
38:50
Speaker 21: that room, which is good to see.
38:55
Speaker 25: HOPEFU Yeah, yeah, you know you want to see him
39:02
Speaker 25: take the next step. You know, he's a kid that
39:04
Speaker 25: kind of got his feet wet as a starter last year,
39:06
Speaker 25: you know, went through the riggers of playing SEC football
39:10
Speaker 25: for the first time.
39:11
Speaker 21: I think as the year went he continued to grow,
39:13
Speaker 21: his role continued.
39:14
Speaker 25: To grow, He got better and better, and uh, he's
39:17
Speaker 25: had a really really strong offseason to this point, and
39:20
Speaker 25: now you want to just kind of see him take
39:22
Speaker 25: that to the field and have that elevate to the
39:24
Speaker 25: next level. And I think that's what we're seeing through
39:27
Speaker 25: three days and we'll kind of see where it goes.
39:29
Speaker 31: Better than.
39:31
Speaker 32: Because we're literally hell him where feeling he fits in
39:35
Speaker 32: the puzzle of that.
39:37
Speaker 25: Yeah, you know, we wanted to get a guy that
39:39
Speaker 25: could come in and compete. At the time we took him,
39:41
Speaker 25: we didn't know what Bryce was going to do, and
39:43
Speaker 25: so you know, we have Miles Davis coming back. Miles
39:46
Speaker 25: is a guy obviously that we have high hopes for,
39:49
Speaker 25: but it was below that there wasn't a lot other
39:52
Speaker 25: than freshmen and young kids coming in, and so he's
39:55
Speaker 25: an experienced guy. I think he knows how to play
39:57
Speaker 25: the game really well. He's very physical, he's a good tackler,
40:00
Speaker 25: he was a little bit under the weather.
40:01
Speaker 21: So today was his first practice.
40:03
Speaker 25: So it was good to get him out there today,
40:04
Speaker 25: and you know, let's see what he becomes the spring.
40:09
Speaker 21: Yeah, you talk about the.
40:10
Speaker 25: Diversity of idea over that, we haven't seen him take
40:15
Speaker 25: us that size and bok addition.
40:18
Speaker 21: To yeah, I mean not yet. Its three practices.
40:21
Speaker 25: I think the one place that showed up today we
40:23
Speaker 25: did a perimeter drill and so now you've got to
40:26
Speaker 25: you got a few more big physical outside receivers when
40:29
Speaker 25: we're trying to block.
40:30
Speaker 21: It's but yeah, it's early.
40:42
Speaker 25: Yeah again another another question that's way too early to ask.
40:45
Speaker 25: Today was the first day in full pads, and so yeah,
40:49
Speaker 25: I think we got a lot of a lot of
40:50
Speaker 25: guys in that group that can play. I think we've
40:52
Speaker 25: got to figure out to what level and and who
40:55
Speaker 25: are the right people uh to go out there and
40:58
Speaker 25: and put that puzzle together. And so you know, it's
41:00
Speaker 25: going to be a big few weeks here through the
41:02
Speaker 25: middle of the spring, both sides of the line of
41:04
Speaker 25: scrimmage with all of the new faces. As we see
41:06
Speaker 25: that competition start to kind of shake out a little bit.
41:11
Speaker 32: Time ourselves, what do you guys like to William to quarterbacker.
41:15
Speaker 32: Do you anticipate to the back of the quarterback competition
41:18
Speaker 32: and maybe lingering into them.
41:19
Speaker 15: The fall as well?
41:20
Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean I think every competition lingers into the fall.
41:23
Speaker 25: I don't I don't think you if you're doing it right,
41:25
Speaker 25: you should have talented players.
41:27
Speaker 21: At every position battling for jobs.
41:29
Speaker 25: And so I don't think you ever want to sit
41:31
Speaker 25: here this time of year and say this is this
41:33
Speaker 25: is decisions. You want to see who gives you the
41:36
Speaker 25: best chance to win and be successful when the fall
41:38
Speaker 25: comes around, and we'll see who that is. I think
41:41
Speaker 25: what we have is h two young kids with with
41:43
Speaker 25: really talented arms, and I think you can throw Eli
41:45
Speaker 25: Morcos into that mix as well, who look a lot
41:48
Speaker 25: more comfortable operating in the system right now. And so
41:52
Speaker 25: you know, we'll see again how that plays out.
41:56
Speaker 32: I know you said no big revelations, but just what.
41:58
Speaker 6: Do you learn when sold through.
42:00
Speaker 30: The first time and how do you expect to.
42:02
Speaker 32: Sort of get to ramble physical.
42:04
Speaker 25: Yeah, we learned that we have an awful long way
42:06
Speaker 25: to go to be a good football team. I think
42:08
Speaker 25: that's that's been the revelation of practice one in full
42:11
Speaker 25: pads for the last twenty years. Yeah, it's it's just
42:14
Speaker 25: it's I'm happy with where we are as a group.
42:18
Speaker 25: I'm happy with the progress that we made. I don't
42:20
Speaker 25: want it to come out like I'm not. But when
42:22
Speaker 25: you're comparing it to a wanting to be a playoff
42:24
Speaker 25: team and where you know this thing needs to go
42:26
Speaker 25: to be successful three practices in the spring, it's not
42:30
Speaker 25: there yet.
42:32
Speaker 15: So we obviously saw you game on over the Linemack
42:34
Speaker 15: and Drillson Miller just no going if you would have had.
42:37
Speaker 21: A Touchdaws with different position cus they do what we're
42:40
Speaker 21: going at.
42:40
Speaker 25: Yeah, I just think, you know, we've got this thing
42:44
Speaker 25: up and running now a little bit as a as
42:46
Speaker 25: a head coach, and so you know, I have a
42:48
Speaker 25: lot of confidence in what's happening in most areas of
42:51
Speaker 25: the field, and so there's times where I com maybe
42:54
Speaker 25: just go back to coaching a little bit, which is
42:55
Speaker 25: fun and so and every once in a while it's
42:58
Speaker 25: nice to just jump it, jump in and feel like
43:00
Speaker 25: you're being productive as a coach out there.
43:04
Speaker 13: So it's a couple of different times than.
43:13
Speaker 25: Yeah, I don't know that it's a philosophy change. I
43:15
Speaker 25: think at times last year we went up tempo. I
43:18
Speaker 25: think at times this year we went up tempo.
43:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.
43:20
Speaker 21: I don't know that there's a big philosophy change there,
43:23
Speaker 21: go back to the left of carn.
43:30
Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, hopefully not ever, but I do think it'll
43:34
Speaker 25: be busier. You know, it's it's it's Uh, it'd be good.
43:38
Speaker 25: It's good to see some of those guys. Some of
43:39
Speaker 25: those guys have been sprinkling back out to practice. It's
43:41
Speaker 25: been good that a lot of them have been coming
43:42
Speaker 25: out to practice. I think that shows kind of where
43:45
Speaker 25: where guys feel about the program and about what's happening here.
43:48
Speaker 28: Uh.
43:48
Speaker 25: It's a huge day for for some of the guys
43:50
Speaker 25: who didn't get to the combine. It's a day to
43:53
Speaker 25: finish up for some of the guys who did. And
43:55
Speaker 25: so I just think it's really cool to see where
43:57
Speaker 25: our program has elevated to in such a period of
44:00
Speaker 25: time from an NFL development standpoint, and so to have
44:04
Speaker 25: you know, we'll be represented by all thirty two NFL
44:06
Speaker 25: organizations tomorrow. I think we've got like six or seven
44:09
Speaker 25: general managers come in, handful of head coaches come in,
44:12
Speaker 25: and so, yeah, it's just exciting.
44:16
Speaker 1: You mentioned Ashton is getting his speed that lasters, But
44:19
Speaker 1: what was the biggest.
44:19
Speaker 25: Broth he's on his game that he will take for
44:23
Speaker 25: I just think, you know, the Ashton still maybe just
44:26
Speaker 25: transitioning from being a really athletic talented player to be
44:30
Speaker 25: in a crafty knowing how to run route, separate and
44:33
Speaker 25: get open wide receiver. And I don't know that that's
44:35
Speaker 25: specific to Ashton. I just think that's the natural development
44:39
Speaker 25: of young wide receivers. And so you know, he's able
44:42
Speaker 25: to do so many things so naturally because of how
44:44
Speaker 25: gifted he is athletically. I think what you see from
44:47
Speaker 25: him now is maybe just a better understanding of route concepts,
44:51
Speaker 25: how to run routes, how to create a little bit
44:53
Speaker 25: of separation to get the ball. And yeah, I think
44:55
Speaker 25: that's the next step for him.
44:57
Speaker 2: It's Mike Elko last week, last question on Nashville Bethel Roman.
45:03
Speaker 1: We have Todd this week. We will hear from him.
45:06
