2:46
Speaker 4: we do on a Monday.
2:48
Speaker 6: Now.
2:48
Speaker 4: Just for a little perspective. I like to do this
2:52
Speaker 4: every once in a while because I always talk about
2:54
Speaker 4: in this modern era, the time space continuum gets screwed up.
2:58
Speaker 4: The Badger's game in the two tournament against high Point.
3:03
Speaker 4: That was Thursday, a week ago. Today, we were in
3:08
Speaker 4: snow mcgeddon. I was broadcasting at home, and two weeks
3:11
Speaker 4: ago we were just groggy from the daylight saving switch.
3:17
Speaker 4: That's been two weeks. A week ago today was the blizzard.
3:20
Speaker 4: Then we've since then, we've had you know, we had
3:23
Speaker 4: Saint Patrick's Day. We had like we had, you know,
3:26
Speaker 4: a run of things, all kinds of basketball stuff. It's
3:30
Speaker 4: just fascinating to me the way stuff plays out and
3:33
Speaker 4: the way just time. And now all of a sudden
3:35
Speaker 4: we're onto baseball.
3:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, it feels that Max Crosby conversation that we had
3:39
Speaker 7: on a Monday morning feels like it was a year ago.
3:42
Speaker 7: And then next week we'll wake up in the Bruis
3:44
Speaker 7: all already in first place.
3:45
Speaker 4: Spring training seems like it takes forever, but this year
3:49
Speaker 4: is like now it's over.
3:50
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I mean it's just it's just barrels through time.
3:54
Speaker 4: Is thatunds freaky? And so time and temperature, because oh
3:58
Speaker 4: my god, Saturday said Chili Day, it was like the
4:02
Speaker 4: wind was coming out of the east and everything. It's like, eh,
4:05
Speaker 4: it get to be about it's five o'clock and it's
4:07
Speaker 4: fifty two, but it feels colder, and then the wind
4:10
Speaker 4: shifts from the south and suddenly it's seventy three and gorgeous.
4:14
Speaker 3: I'm walking downtown in seventy degree amazing, Yeah, absolutely amazing
4:18
Speaker 3: Saturday night.
4:19
Speaker 4: And then it was right back to normal. So we
4:21
Speaker 4: got teased again with a false spring on Saturday evening.
4:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, then I walk out Saturday and I thought the
4:26
Speaker 3: whole place was gonna crumble in with the way the
4:29
Speaker 3: wind was howling in the trees, and I'm like, what's
4:32
Speaker 3: going on here? You know we're right back to it. So, yeah,
4:34
Speaker 3: the wind, the weather is unpredictable this time of the year.
4:37
Speaker 4: That's absolutely it was. That was something else. But yesterday
4:41
Speaker 4: was perfect for just sitting on the couch and watching ball.
4:44
Speaker 6: It really was.
4:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we had some really good games. So are
4:48
Speaker 4: we going to game ball and kick to the balls?
4:50
Speaker 4: Whose last possession defense was worse? Would you say? Was
4:56
Speaker 4: it in the Iowa game? Or was it the same
5:00
Speaker 4: John's game? Who's was it Florida? Well not, why was
5:04
Speaker 4: it Kansas? So the worst last minute execution on defense?
5:07
Speaker 4: So I would go Kansas.
5:09
Speaker 7: And I'd like to get your guys take on it,
5:11
Speaker 7: because it almost felt like they outsmarted themselves, like they
5:14
Speaker 7: were trying to be way too cute and like certain
5:17
Speaker 7: individuals that might get into the gambling world. There's this
5:20
Speaker 7: term called middling. You're trying to make sure that you
5:23
Speaker 7: went on both sides. You're trying to make sure that
5:25
Speaker 7: you use every little bit of leash over here, and
5:27
Speaker 7: every little bit of leash over here.
5:29
Speaker 6: I get it.
5:29
Speaker 7: There's what eleven seconds when the ball goes through to
5:32
Speaker 7: tie the game, and they had three files to give
5:34
Speaker 7: before they hit the sec But in the in the goal,
5:39
Speaker 7: in the hope of trying to make sure that they
5:40
Speaker 7: use all of the fouls, it felt like they were
5:42
Speaker 7: more concerned as to what the file situation was than
5:45
Speaker 7: realizing they had to finish the last eleven and a
5:47
Speaker 7: half seconds and get the damn game to overtime. What
5:51
Speaker 7: I mean because the last foul they have him pinned
5:54
Speaker 7: along the sideline, so well, I mean, it's gonna be
5:57
Speaker 7: difficult once he gets past half court and be able
6:00
Speaker 7: to get the ball away, move on and keep playing.
6:03
Speaker 7: And all they did was foll and bail them out
6:05
Speaker 7: and let them reset and restart, and and guy got
6:08
Speaker 7: downhill and burned right by him with a hell of
6:10
Speaker 7: a shot.
6:10
Speaker 6: I mean, you tell me that ball goes in.
6:13
Speaker 7: And the one from Vanderbilt on in the night game,
6:16
Speaker 7: the halfway down and out half court heave, which may
6:19
Speaker 7: have been the greatest shot that I've never seen go in. Oh,
6:22
Speaker 7: that one doesn't go in, and my man scooping it
6:25
Speaker 7: off outside of the basket did I was pretty impressed
6:28
Speaker 7: by that that finish there, but I thought Kansas was
6:30
Speaker 7: just way too cute.
6:31
Speaker 4: You know, the Saint John's Kansas finish.
6:33
Speaker 3: I have to agree in my opinion, you know, I
6:35
Speaker 3: think the strategy is still correct. I think you should
6:38
Speaker 3: use the files at your disposal to reduce the chance
6:40
Speaker 3: for the offense to set something nice up. But what
6:43
Speaker 3: you did there is create an advantage for yourself, and
6:46
Speaker 3: you didn't take advantage of it, right, I mean, in
6:48
Speaker 3: that sense, the number one thing you should do there
6:51
Speaker 3: is no okay, they only have a few seconds, so
6:52
Speaker 3: stop the ball and force them to shoot something long
6:55
Speaker 3: and off balance. But the number one thing they should
6:58
Speaker 3: have done and stop the ball, is the one thing
6:59
Speaker 3: they didn't do, and they allowed mcclear pet the basket.
7:02
Speaker 4: Also, use the files.
7:03
Speaker 3: More strategically, you know, basically the story was, you know,
7:07
Speaker 3: they had four files before they had to force the bonus,
7:09
Speaker 3: so they had four files to use. Use them more strategically,
7:12
Speaker 3: Use them as a cushion to be more aggressive on defense.
7:15
Speaker 3: Go for some really aggressive steals, you know, go for
7:18
Speaker 3: some really well don't follow just to foul if you're
7:20
Speaker 3: gonna do it. But in that sense, I agree, Billy.
7:24
Speaker 3: I think they were so scared about all right, we
7:26
Speaker 3: followed at the right time.
7:27
Speaker 4: Now what do we do that they forgot to play defense?
7:29
Speaker 4: So I do agree.
7:30
Speaker 3: I can't really say, you know, Florida Iowa, I mean,
7:33
Speaker 3: I would made a nice play they got in transition
7:35
Speaker 3: to the open man.
7:35
Speaker 6: They did the right thing there.
7:37
Speaker 3: You know, it just went their way in that sense,
7:40
Speaker 3: So I don't think necessarily Florida was as much of
7:42
Speaker 3: a a collapse, although Saint John's had a bigger lead
7:46
Speaker 3: and almost blew that. They had a fourteen point lead,
7:48
Speaker 3: so that's it's really really nice for those times John's
7:51
Speaker 3: and a half thing and that thing was absolutely cashed out.
7:54
Speaker 3: So in that sense, they really they really saved themselves
7:57
Speaker 3: from a collapse that they would have been thinking.
7:58
Speaker 7: True.
7:59
Speaker 3: So it's funny how the outcome will change your perspective.
8:02
Speaker 4: Lil just thinking about the fouling stuff and Patino's like,
8:06
Speaker 4: who dodged one there?
8:07
Speaker 7: Meanwhile Mark coach is going at it yeah, and Patino
8:11
Speaker 7: taking the victory lap in the team hotel. I don't
8:13
Speaker 7: know if you saw that videos. He's hanging out with
8:15
Speaker 7: all of the Boosters beauty. Rick Patino lives. The one
8:18
Speaker 7: thing about Rick Patino, love him or hate him. Throughout
8:21
Speaker 7: his whole career, He's won everywhere and he's found a
8:23
Speaker 7: way to do it except for the Celtics, but he's
8:25
Speaker 7: when he was with the Celtics, he didn't really do
8:27
Speaker 7: it when he told that Kevin McHale and Larry and
8:29
Speaker 7: Robert aren't walking through that door.
8:30
Speaker 4: But he's done it.
8:31
Speaker 3: Even at at I own, Um, he's done it, you
8:33
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Boston, Collins, Providence, Kentucky, Little Wins.
8:37
Speaker 4: He's one.
8:38
Speaker 3: And Rick Patino has become you know, it's like when
8:42
Speaker 3: now they had for different reasons, but Izzo was a
8:44
Speaker 3: guy that like people detested sometimes and then as they
8:47
Speaker 3: get older and they stick around, that's like, oh, these
8:49
Speaker 3: are the father figures in the game that we think like,
8:51
Speaker 3: oh man, this is these guys are great. Like it's
8:53
Speaker 3: so funny how age changes the perspective on that. And
8:56
Speaker 3: Rick Patino lives. Man another round, another weekend and he's
8:59
Speaker 3: found again. He put Saint John's in the Sweet six
9:01
Speaker 3: team the first time. I thinking, what since ninety nine?
9:04
Speaker 3: I want to say, yeah, what it was first time
9:06
Speaker 3: since ninety nine. Yeah, those were good teams those years.
9:08
Speaker 4: So when we were living the Levita Loca and watching
9:11
Speaker 4: the sixth Sense was the hit movie. That's right, Oh
9:15
Speaker 4: my gosh. Yeah, so.
9:19
Speaker 3: How about that one that the one thing you get
9:21
Speaker 3: is yeah, when there's less upsets, you get the true
9:23
Speaker 3: heavyweight battles.
9:24
Speaker 4: And we're gonna get it all right, So here's one
9:26
Speaker 4: for you. Like the guy who hit the shot, the
9:27
Speaker 4: point guard, great name, Dylan Darling, Darling. Yeah, I mean
9:31
Speaker 4: is he a biggist point guard or an adult film star?
9:34
Speaker 4: I was gonna say yeah, because and his nickname is bells.
9:38
Speaker 4: Like where do you get bells from Dylan Darling? Because
9:41
Speaker 4: earlier this year Patino said he had balls the size
9:43
Speaker 4: of church bells and it was church bells and it
9:45
Speaker 4: got shortened to just bells. So that's an incredible and
9:49
Speaker 4: that's a nickname. You got to explain it, but it's
9:52
Speaker 4: still it's better than you know, game balls.
9:55
Speaker 6: The bells here the plea.
9:58
Speaker 4: Or what are you gonna call him? Dylan Darling, Darling,
10:01
Speaker 4: Darls Dill.
10:02
Speaker 7: No, bells is great, and how about bells with maybe
10:06
Speaker 7: the best sound by that A postgame press conference, as
10:09
Speaker 7: Patino thought he was about to pull one right over
10:11
Speaker 7: on him yesterday as he was explaining and trying to
10:13
Speaker 7: answer the question if he'd ever hit a game winner
10:15
Speaker 7: before in his first buzzer beater or have you hit
10:18
Speaker 7: hit something like this before?
10:20
Speaker 4: Uh, this is my first one in college? First one.
10:25
Speaker 4: What did you do in the NBA?
10:26
Speaker 6: Well, I'm saying I played in high school and middle school.
10:29
Speaker 7: Coach, you know, I didn't just start playing ball, Uh.
10:33
Speaker 4: Trying to make school and NBA.
10:38
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, Rick, don't don't speak too loud.
10:40
Speaker 4: Next year there will be a kid that has points,
10:44
Speaker 4: playing a thousand AAU games. At some point somebody might
10:47
Speaker 4: toss in a buzzer beater.
10:48
Speaker 6: You know, think that.
10:49
Speaker 4: Sounds like Tyler a bit little Street and him.
10:51
Speaker 5: I like that.
10:51
Speaker 4: You just listen to him there.
10:53
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was his first That was his first
10:55
Speaker 3: basket of the game, right, that was his first basketball And.
10:58
Speaker 4: He called his own play because they while they were
11:01
Speaker 4: trying to foule, that was his was smart. That was
11:03
Speaker 4: a smart movement by you just take it to the rag.
11:05
Speaker 6: Do you agree? Drew like that?
11:06
Speaker 7: It felt like they just got too consumed with fouling
11:09
Speaker 7: and making sure they use the fouls then actually playing
11:13
Speaker 7: defense like the one, the last one you mentioned an
11:16
Speaker 7: armin like do it more strategically. I almost think you
11:19
Speaker 7: lose the inherent advantage when you no longer have the
11:22
Speaker 7: file to give. Does that make sense right? Like you
11:25
Speaker 7: what have it as the club in the bag, And
11:27
Speaker 7: I'm thinking of the last the last file where they
11:29
Speaker 7: have them pinned up against the sideline. It feels like,
11:33
Speaker 7: if there's gonna be a chance you're gonna have to
11:35
Speaker 7: make them make a wild pass. You got exactly what
11:38
Speaker 7: you want. You can fil if necessary. If it looks
11:41
Speaker 7: like they're gonna get the ball away and give it
11:44
Speaker 7: off to a guard or somebody that's gonna be able
11:45
Speaker 7: to score on an open look, then you can take it.
11:48
Speaker 7: But right now, I got four seconds to go, and
11:50
Speaker 7: it's a chaotic situation. I'm gonna go to overtime, and
11:53
Speaker 7: if I'm Kansas, I feel like if that game gets
11:55
Speaker 7: the overtime, I'm winning.
11:56
Speaker 3: They had all the momentum, there's no question about it.
11:58
Speaker 3: And you bring up a good point, Billy, think about this.
12:00
Speaker 3: If you're gonna use all your fouls there and the
12:02
Speaker 3: other team knows they're gonna you're they're expecting to get fouled.
12:06
Speaker 3: You throw them off by not following in that last foul, right,
12:08
Speaker 3: So then they're like expecting a file.
12:10
Speaker 6: They're waiting for it.
12:11
Speaker 3: They're not really running offense because they're thinking about when
12:13
Speaker 3: is he gonna follow me. I think you totally put
12:16
Speaker 3: them on their heels there in that situation too. So
12:18
Speaker 3: that's a good point, Billy, that's the way to strategize there.
12:20
Speaker 4: I like that.
12:21
Speaker 3: I think they I think Kansas did do that a
12:24
Speaker 3: little bit where they got the outthought themselves a little
12:28
Speaker 3: bit because they could have been they could have been
12:30
Speaker 3: a problem.
12:31
Speaker 7: Now I will say game ball too, as Dolph will
12:33
Speaker 7: be excited about this and we'll talk about it. That
12:35
Speaker 7: that Ben McCollum guy over at Iowa.
12:37
Speaker 4: Take me to the bulkips please.
12:39
Speaker 7: So his all time NCAA tournament record combined with Division
12:43
Speaker 7: one and Division two drew. This coming from Ben Scott
12:46
Speaker 7: Stevens online, who follows a lot of college basketball, most
12:48
Speaker 7: importantly Big Then. He's now thirty eight and eight all
12:52
Speaker 7: time in the tournament, has won I won four D
12:55
Speaker 7: two national titles, led Duke to its first non first
12:58
Speaker 7: four NCAA tournament since seventy one. Then obviously got Iowa
13:02
Speaker 7: their first win since twenty twenty one and first nca
13:06
Speaker 7: Sweet sixteen since ninety nine. And as Gary Dolphin said
13:09
Speaker 7: last night, I did tap on tap into their broadcast
13:11
Speaker 7: on the Varsity App, the free Varsity app.
13:13
Speaker 4: Game Ball to the Varsity App. By the way, March Madness,
13:16
Speaker 4: take me to the bulkips please.
13:18
Speaker 7: It is a necessity, especially these late night games, being
13:21
Speaker 7: able to actually hear the whole call.
13:24
Speaker 6: Dolph said it. God's a Hawks fan tonight. I don't
13:28
Speaker 6: know what else is gonna happen.
13:30
Speaker 7: They get bailed out a couple of times, but when
13:32
Speaker 7: you're sometimes better to be lucky than good, Drew, they
13:35
Speaker 7: created a lot of their own fortune. I mean, when
13:37
Speaker 7: you're up twelve and being able to hit some of
13:39
Speaker 7: the shots that Iowa made. They forced everything to have
13:42
Speaker 7: to be perfect for Florida down the stretch, and it
13:44
Speaker 7: just wasn't.
13:45
Speaker 4: It just wasn't eight seven, seven, seven, nine four ninety
13:48
Speaker 4: seven three. Get us your game balls and kicks to
13:50
Speaker 4: the balls. One of the great things about this weekend
13:52
Speaker 4: refreshing to me was the NFL finally receded a little bit. Yeah,
13:57
Speaker 4: I know, there was some flags football on Saturday, But
13:59
Speaker 4: who cares?
14:01
Speaker 7: I was going to say, kick to the balls to
14:02
Speaker 7: the NFL players.
14:04
Speaker 3: Kick to the balls? Yeah, for it wasn't great for
14:08
Speaker 3: somebody trying.
14:09
Speaker 7: To Gronkowski pull a hamstring that well, it wasn't even
14:13
Speaker 7: know Joe Burrow. Bengals fans had to have been losing
14:16
Speaker 7: their mind watching Joe Burrow run around and diving into
14:20
Speaker 7: the end zone like it's a week fifteen game against
14:22
Speaker 7: the Steelers and they're playing a bunch of guys that
14:24
Speaker 7: no one has ever heard of before, and logan Paul, Yeah,
14:28
Speaker 7: I agree.
14:28
Speaker 3: But listen, kudos to somebody out there, or game ball
14:32
Speaker 3: to somebody out there.
14:33
Speaker 4: I don't know who.
14:36
Speaker 3: I really wanted to try and make Tom Brady playing
14:38
Speaker 3: football relevant again.
14:39
Speaker 4: They tried. I mean, it's on think its being the headlines.
14:41
Speaker 3: Yes, Brady threw some touchdowns at fifty in a flag football.
14:44
Speaker 6: Get I don't think you're gonna like this.
14:47
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, You just gave a game ball
14:48
Speaker 4: to Tom Brady?
14:50
Speaker 6: No was that, Michael Rubin? Yeah I did.
14:54
Speaker 4: I was saying a sarcastic game ball. Yeah yeah, but
14:56
Speaker 4: you're actually giving it him a game ball.
14:58
Speaker 7: I think then watch out because they get enough eyes
15:02
Speaker 7: and they got they got enough credit for believe it.
15:04
Speaker 6: I believe it.
15:05
Speaker 3: Yes, they's got eyes because someone's playing football right now.
15:08
Speaker 4: Was there more or less attention paid to this because
15:10
Speaker 4: it wasn't in Saudi Arabia where it was supposed to be.
15:15
Speaker 7: For it to roll through? Yeah, I mean I don't.
15:18
Speaker 7: I don't depending on what time it was. That's luckily
15:21
Speaker 7: for me. Sadly for me, I should say, it ended
15:24
Speaker 7: up being right while we were at the Admirals game,
15:25
Speaker 7: so I wasn't able to have it have it on
15:27
Speaker 7: as long as I would have liked to. But it's
15:29
Speaker 7: definitely a different beast those people that are seeing flag
15:32
Speaker 7: football and knowing football the Olympics. It's a different different game,
15:35
Speaker 7: and we got we got alerted to that with sports.
15:40
Speaker 3: Maybe there was something to my man I forget his
15:42
Speaker 3: name now that said he's the Patrick Mahomes.
15:44
Speaker 1: He was there.
15:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that the cat was balling out this weekend.
15:48
Speaker 4: But what's more exciting to watch flag football or ultimate frisbee?
15:51
Speaker 6: Definitely flag football.
15:53
Speaker 3: I've been in some ultimate frisbee games, okay on college campuses.
15:57
Speaker 4: I like throwing at frisbee around, but to watch it.
15:59
Speaker 1: No, I mean.
16:02
Speaker 4: Hats with their half fly, you know, T shirts with
16:04
Speaker 4: their hair flying around. That's for sure, you know.
16:08
Speaker 5: Right there.
16:08
Speaker 4: But I just mean in general, the NFL, just like
16:11
Speaker 4: this is one of the few weekends of the year
16:13
Speaker 4: where they don't suck all the oxygen out of the Yeah,
16:15
Speaker 4: they were taking a deep breath for your high school tournament,
16:17
Speaker 4: the men's tournament, women's hockey. It's just it, they didn't,
16:22
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, and it's nice.
16:23
Speaker 3: It was refreshing game, but it was in that sense
16:26
Speaker 3: I would agree, unless you know, some people would disagree.
16:28
Speaker 4: They love football the time.
16:29
Speaker 3: Game ball to Dan Hurley in the Yukon Take me
16:33
Speaker 3: to the Balkans.
16:34
Speaker 4: Now you ask me why am I giving him a
16:36
Speaker 4: game ball?
16:36
Speaker 3: Well? I called this game, you know, between Dan Hurley
16:38
Speaker 3: and mc cronan, like the the jerk Off or the
16:42
Speaker 3: jag Off. Lots all right, pause pause, Yeah, because you
16:46
Speaker 3: know you had these two guys, right, the two of
16:49
Speaker 3: the most annoying and detestable UH coaches going off each other,
16:54
Speaker 3: playing each other, and at least it gave us an
16:56
Speaker 3: angry mc cronan to give us another good a good
17:00
Speaker 3: other one.
17:01
Speaker 4: Here we go all right, let's hear it that you

20:24
Speaker 2: I did not have that on my bracket. I can
20:26
Speaker 2: tell you that, Oh, beating the Gators. I mean, I
20:28
Speaker 2: guess if you had to pick a number one seat
20:30
Speaker 2: that was right for the picking, it was probably Florida.
20:33
Speaker 4: Well yeah, because isn't it like nine of the last
20:35
Speaker 4: ten years the defending champion hasn't made it to the
20:38
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen or something that I wish I would.
20:40
Speaker 6: Have known that stat before I unloaded on Florida lane ten.
20:43
Speaker 1: And a half.
20:44
Speaker 4: What the heck? Damn No, But you gott it?
20:47
Speaker 3: Is Iowa the new epicenter of basketball now? Is It's
20:51
Speaker 3: not just pigs truck stops in Port anymore?
20:54
Speaker 5: You know?
20:55
Speaker 4: Iowa is now the new Indiana? Am I wrong? You
20:58
Speaker 4: got state? Do you have Iowa?
20:59
Speaker 6: You have women game?
21:00
Speaker 4: Audie Crooks? Obviously? Yeah.
21:03
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm gonna go that far arm
21:05
Speaker 2: And I mean Cyclones have been a regular visitor to
21:07
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen over hell yeah hawkeyees not so much.
21:11
Speaker 2: And you and I even one year shocked Kansas, Remember
21:14
Speaker 2: that went absolutely Yeah.
21:15
Speaker 4: Right, that's right.
21:17
Speaker 2: But I'm just happy for my team. I was a
21:19
Speaker 2: young man the last time they went to a Sweet sixteen.
21:21
Speaker 2: My god, nineteen ninety nine. I don't even remember who
21:23
Speaker 2: they played now, yere, that's how long that was, Doctor
21:26
Speaker 2: Tom Davis when he was.
21:27
Speaker 4: Still Saint John's and Iowa back first time since ninety nine.
21:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about the end of that game? Whoa unbelievable?
21:33
Speaker 2: Both games were unreal.
21:34
Speaker 4: My buddy Andy and West Bend's been hammering me on
21:36
Speaker 4: via text because he said nobody's even tweeting about it.
21:39
Speaker 4: But he's so mad because of the overturned call at
21:42
Speaker 4: the end of the Florida game. He said that the
21:45
Speaker 4: call was clearly off Iowa. When the offensive player gets
21:48
Speaker 4: the ball deflected out of his hands, it's off the defender.
21:51
Speaker 4: Of course, the offense is touching it, but it's deflected,
21:54
Speaker 4: and he feels like the wrong call.
21:55
Speaker 2: Florida got screwed, and that when they overturned, Yeah, looked
22:00
Speaker 2: pretty clear cut to me.
22:01
Speaker 4: What did I miss on that?
22:02
Speaker 3: Did?
22:03
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he's just saying that. He's saying
22:05
Speaker 4: that before we had the super super super slow motion.
22:09
Speaker 4: That's just a call.
22:11
Speaker 6: Well, instantly go who hit it out?
22:13
Speaker 4: Who knocked the ball out? Like technically every you know,
22:16
Speaker 4: So for one hundred years they were getting the calls
22:18
Speaker 4: wrong when they said that it was knocked right by
22:20
Speaker 4: the defense.
22:21
Speaker 2: There's three fourth plays a game probably that they will review,
22:24
Speaker 2: and then.
22:24
Speaker 4: But when they do review it, it takes a long time.
22:26
Speaker 2: It's so bad in the Iowa Florida game, if you
22:30
Speaker 2: if you don't review that hustle in the first half,
22:33
Speaker 2: Bulgaris who hit the game when he shot is probably
22:35
Speaker 2: run because it looked like he was getting ready to
22:37
Speaker 2: throw a punch, and uh, he's probably out of the
22:40
Speaker 2: game if if there's no review. But then they found
22:43
Speaker 2: out he just kind of softly punched the ball.
22:45
Speaker 7: Well they said because he didn't connect, they didn't they
22:48
Speaker 7: didn't throw him out.
22:49
Speaker 6: So I do like that.
22:49
Speaker 4: I want swing.
22:50
Speaker 7: I want that reinstituted for when I got in trouble
22:53
Speaker 7: in you know, middle school. Well, I didn't connect with
22:55
Speaker 7: the guy I shouldn't be in trouble.
22:57
Speaker 6: I shouldn't be exactly.
22:58
Speaker 4: Now, I mean not in Iowa.
22:59
Speaker 3: By the way, sweet sixteen they lost to Yukon that
23:03
Speaker 3: year I think won the national title. Okay, so they
23:06
Speaker 3: beat UABS at five to twelve, they beat Arkansas on
23:09
Speaker 3: the five to four, and then they lost to Yukon.
23:11
Speaker 4: Got it. Yeah, so there you go, ninety nine. Don't
23:13
Speaker 4: even ta hey, listen, the glory days are back again.
23:16
Speaker 4: So for I would have Iowa stayed in Iowa and
23:18
Speaker 4: the tournaments like when we have Marquette and Wisconsin in
23:20
Speaker 4: the sweet sixteen.
23:21
Speaker 6: It really is.
23:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. You feel like you're you're at the
23:24
Speaker 4: center of the universe.
23:24
Speaker 2: It's similar. You know, Cyclones are real. I mean they
23:26
Speaker 2: were ranked as high as what second or third earlier
23:28
Speaker 2: this year.
23:29
Speaker 4: And they had some stumbles in February.
23:31
Speaker 2: They did, I mean Big twelve is a big boy conference, but.
23:34
Speaker 4: Boy, well he unleashes the dogs on defense.
23:36
Speaker 5: Man.
23:37
Speaker 4: They're just over framing on defense.
23:39
Speaker 3: And and and they said they wanted to take Kentucky
23:42
Speaker 3: out and they thought they could, you know, make him
23:44
Speaker 3: give up, and they did.
23:45
Speaker 4: Wow, how about that?
23:46
Speaker 2: I mean, Lipsey's a That guy is a nightmare. Yeah,
23:49
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball. Yeah, they're they're really good.
23:52
Speaker 2: They Iowa gave them a hell of a game this year.
23:55
Speaker 2: By the way, I went right down in the closing.
23:56
Speaker 7: Second in Aims and that was like one of his
23:58
Speaker 7: early obviously games McCollum as the coach, Yeah.
24:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
24:01
Speaker 2: And you know what that dude can. I mean, he
24:04
Speaker 2: won four Natties at Division two and they takes Drake
24:06
Speaker 2: in one year to a thirty one win season. So
24:09
Speaker 2: I mean, for obvious reasons, they're excited. And I will
24:11
Speaker 2: see about that guy, especially when he starts getting his
24:12
Speaker 2: own recruiting class.
24:14
Speaker 4: More that guy or Kelsey from Louisville, he's pretty good too.
24:18
Speaker 4: They're both nice young.
24:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, a good interview, man. Kelsey is a very good interview.
24:23
Speaker 7: He took a really really good SoundBite on on Tom Izzo.
24:27
Speaker 7: I guess i'd have to say McCollum just because of
24:29
Speaker 7: the absolute shot that armand Sarian threw his way.
24:33
Speaker 6: As before the Mics came on.
24:34
Speaker 3: Here in two thousand and nine NCAA tournament, the Marquette
24:37
Speaker 3: team did something together. They all shaved their heads, you know,
24:39
Speaker 3: in solidarity. I think it's time Ben let it go, brother,
24:43
Speaker 3: just let it go.
24:44
Speaker 4: He's got that peninsula there is just saying.
24:47
Speaker 3: If not, and I'm talking I'm fitting out too. We're
24:50
Speaker 3: all getting older and I'm not so listen to my
24:52
Speaker 3: fellow man. I'm not taking a shot.
24:54
Speaker 6: At you at all.
24:54
Speaker 3: I guess into the window peaks, it just seems like
25:01
Speaker 3: it's getting it's going farther and farther back every week.
25:04
Speaker 7: The troops are retreating because we're playing in the NC
25:07
Speaker 7: Double A Tournament and already going thirty three and eight
25:09
Speaker 7: in the n C Double A Tournament. Sorry, Bro, I'll
25:12
Speaker 7: go make pronin on you right now. It's tough, bro,
25:16
Speaker 7: all right, it is. Sorry man, Sorry, bro, know what
25:19
Speaker 7: you want from us?
25:19
Speaker 4: I love Ben McCollums, a great coach.
25:21
Speaker 2: Let it go, bro, Yeah, I think he kind of
25:24
Speaker 2: he makes fun of it all the time, and I
25:26
Speaker 2: think he's kind of with you.
25:27
Speaker 4: Oh, part of his brand? Then I then I might
25:30
Speaker 4: change my tune.
25:31
Speaker 3: Like they're starting to sell like like hats and like
25:33
Speaker 3: shirts with just that like or you know what I
25:35
Speaker 3: mean that it's it's then it might be part.
25:37
Speaker 6: Of his brand.
25:38
Speaker 4: I'm watching it right there. They just show him come.
25:41
Speaker 2: It is just a little peninsula up there on top
25:43
Speaker 2: of his head.
25:44
Speaker 4: He was a golfer and war hat all the time.
25:46
Speaker 4: You'd never see it. But he's a great coach. They
25:49
Speaker 4: got a good one, Dolf bel Yeah, he's pretty good now.
25:52
Speaker 4: T j Otzenberger. For all the people that the fire
25:55
Speaker 4: Greg Guard contingent, and they seem to have quieted down
25:57
Speaker 4: a little bit. They're sober a little bit. Well, a
26:00
Speaker 4: couple of days, yeah, a couple of days the sting
26:02
Speaker 4: and you just say, again, we were talking about it Friday.
26:05
Speaker 4: I look at process and results, and the process is
26:08
Speaker 4: not flawed. With the batterers, they've done a really good job.
26:10
Speaker 4: Guys improve under them. But the one guy that you
26:14
Speaker 4: convinced me that if you could make the change would
26:16
Speaker 4: be tj Atzelberger. But people think, well t j Otzelberger
26:19
Speaker 4: will come here. He's from here, right. He makes more
26:21
Speaker 4: than Greg Guard at Iowa's date. His salary is a
26:24
Speaker 4: tick higher. His buyout's four million. Greg Guards would be
26:27
Speaker 4: eight million. It's a twelve million dollar transaction. And then
26:29
Speaker 4: you got to pay players, and they got to pay
26:31
Speaker 4: assistance on the way out and coming in. So I
26:34
Speaker 4: put it at like fifteen to twenty million to change
26:36
Speaker 4: coaches like you want to write that check.
26:39
Speaker 2: I understand the thought why you'd want to bring him in,
26:41
Speaker 2: although I would not get it.
26:42
Speaker 4: But would TJ leave that league and that job? He's
26:45
Speaker 4: doing pretty good.
26:46
Speaker 6: That's the other part of it, Like there's a reason
26:48
Speaker 6: why you're there. There's a reason why.
26:50
Speaker 7: The hyper competitiveness in him I think has dominated recruiting
26:53
Speaker 7: in the state, not only just his connections, but because
26:56
Speaker 7: of how much they work at getting the best players.
26:59
Speaker 7: A lot of times in the state was consin to
27:00
Speaker 7: go out there, and I mean, you don't know, you
27:03
Speaker 7: don't know what's been said. You know who's who's been
27:05
Speaker 7: befriended and who's been besmirched, And a lot of times
27:08
Speaker 7: in the recruiting conversation, well why didn't you go to
27:11
Speaker 7: your hometown school? Yeah, well they didn't offer me until
27:13
Speaker 7: I committed somewhere else. Like there's a lot of that,
27:16
Speaker 7: and sometimes those are hard stars to you know.
27:19
Speaker 4: Say, his next job might be uh at Allen Fieldhouse
27:23
Speaker 4: and Lawrence, Kansas, when Bill wouldn't that be something goes
27:27
Speaker 4: to Kansas? They love TJ Asenberg in Ames, I can
27:31
Speaker 4: tell you that.
27:31
Speaker 2: And that place is just basketball insane and always has been.
27:35
Speaker 2: I mean Hilton Coliseum is an incredible place to watch
27:38
Speaker 2: a game. It's always loud, it's always packed, even when
27:41
Speaker 2: they're just okay, they got a good thing going.
27:44
Speaker 7: Well, Now, this would be the tough one, sorry, man,
27:46
Speaker 7: this would be This would be the tough one for
27:48
Speaker 7: for golf. I mean, like you want to talk about
27:50
Speaker 7: really taking it to your rival. It would be a
27:54
Speaker 7: tough week, tough year for your friends. Their names. If
27:57
Speaker 7: they lost their basketball coaching and their football coach in
27:59
Speaker 7: the same Oh my god, well they lost their football.
28:00
Speaker 6: Team, They lost their whole team.
28:03
Speaker 7: They damnier lost Jack Trice Stadium as well in the
28:06
Speaker 7: midst of it, as.
28:07
Speaker 4: Campbell went to Happy Valley.
28:09
Speaker 7: Like, I don't know, I would think if UNC does
28:12
Speaker 7: make this move coming up in the next couple of days,
28:14
Speaker 7: then he would be one of the calls.
28:15
Speaker 6: I like the Bill self one in Kansas.
28:18
Speaker 7: It's fascinating because if you're making a list, he's got
28:21
Speaker 7: to be right there at the top.
28:21
Speaker 2: Oh, I think he is. But if your eye with State,
28:25
Speaker 2: you just you have to keep him at all costs.
28:27
Speaker 2: I don't know what that would be, but I mean,
28:29
Speaker 2: he's happy in names, his family's happy names.
28:31
Speaker 4: You have to keep them there at all costs.
28:33
Speaker 3: Well, money and resources. But I think support is a
28:35
Speaker 3: big one now for coaches. And it's not just the
28:37
Speaker 3: coaching salary. Obviously that's a huge one, but it's how
28:40
Speaker 3: much support will you be getting? I mean, you heard
28:42
Speaker 3: you heard mc cronin crying about five more million dollars.
28:45
Speaker 3: It's one of those things. I think it works as
28:47
Speaker 3: a too pronged effect for coaches. They can always use
28:50
Speaker 3: that now as an excuse, Well, we're not just funding
28:51
Speaker 3: our program enough, so you can't blame me. You know,
28:54
Speaker 3: there's always an excuse convenient there. But it's also like,
28:56
Speaker 3: are you setting me up for success? That's the new
28:59
Speaker 3: way to do it, the new situation in college sports.
29:02
Speaker 3: I will say, I think really quick, sorry, we do
29:04
Speaker 3: seem to have an expectation in this state, being Wisconsin Heights,
29:07
Speaker 3: that if someone's from here, that they'll automatically want to
29:10
Speaker 3: come home, like like, oh, well TJ is.
29:12
Speaker 4: Gonna want to go.
29:14
Speaker 3: He did, but he was from Oregon, right Wisconsin, and
29:17
Speaker 3: he came, and he came to Marquette the second time.
29:19
Speaker 4: I don't think he came here because it was.
29:20
Speaker 3: Home necessarily, you know, So I don't know I mean,
29:23
Speaker 3: we did this with Tony Bennett a lot where everyone
29:25
Speaker 3: felt like, well, Tony would want to come back, right
29:27
Speaker 3: if we just asked him a gun Like Really, is
29:29
Speaker 3: that how things go?
29:30
Speaker 5: Like?
29:30
Speaker 4: I don't know. So is that the same in Iowa too?
29:32
Speaker 1: Like?
29:33
Speaker 3: Is the poll for hometown so strong that the expectation is, Look,
29:37
Speaker 3: if someone's from there, they'll stay, and if someone's not
29:39
Speaker 3: from there, they'll come back home?
29:40
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah?
29:41
Speaker 2: I Ben McCollum was born in Iowa City and grew
29:44
Speaker 2: up in Strom like I was, so I guess it
29:45
Speaker 2: worked in that situation. But if I'm you know, if
29:49
Speaker 2: I'm anybody not that Wisconsin would pull the trigger on
29:52
Speaker 2: getting rid of Greg Guard. They'd be crazy if they did.
29:54
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Luke Fickle. I mean you can tell.
29:59
Speaker 2: But look look what Michigan has done. I mean, you
30:03
Speaker 2: get the up and commerce from these rising programs, and
30:06
Speaker 2: you get their coach, and good things happen, you know.
30:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, the Michigan one's fascinating, especially if now I liked
30:14
Speaker 7: game all the mark Pope on getting asked, did you
30:18
Speaker 7: offer to pay a guy seven to nine million dollars?
30:21
Speaker 7: And instead of answering the question mark Pope just answered
30:24
Speaker 7: everything other than the question.
30:26
Speaker 1: Take me to the buskins.
30:28
Speaker 4: Play.
30:28
Speaker 7: Good work, Mark Pope for going four and a half
30:30
Speaker 7: minutes on the standards in media and what we report
30:35
Speaker 7: what we don't.
30:36
Speaker 4: Sure.
30:36
Speaker 7: So did you offer them seven to nine million dollars? Well,
30:38
Speaker 7: let me tell you about everything else. So they're clearly
30:41
Speaker 7: spending at a different level at Michigan too. Like that
30:44
Speaker 7: you have some of these different brands. And I know
30:46
Speaker 7: people in the South didn't like it. The SEC folks
30:48
Speaker 7: didn't like it. Nick Saban said it in football. Well,
30:51
Speaker 7: the only way you're gonna get folks from the South
30:52
Speaker 7: to go up to the North.
30:53
Speaker 4: Is to pay them. Pay them.
30:55
Speaker 7: Especially into the winter, it's gonna be tougher. I think
30:57
Speaker 7: we are seeing the Big ten is flex in a
31:00
Speaker 7: little bit of the cash muscle here and the All
31:02
Speaker 7: Coast Conference has kind of taken over right now.
31:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, what if.
31:06
Speaker 2: UCLA would have won, which they didn't last night, they
31:07
Speaker 2: would have had seven of the sixteen seven.
31:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty amazing. I mean this has been this might
31:12
Speaker 3: be their year for a national title.
31:14
Speaker 4: Well, it's what they're overdue.
31:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been twenty six years since the Flintstones won
31:18
Speaker 2: it all from Michigan State back in the day.
31:20
Speaker 7: So do they bring the rivalry trophy for Iowa and
31:24
Speaker 7: Nebraska football to the sixty one they played for football? Yeah,
31:28
Speaker 7: I think they should. I think they should play for
31:30
Speaker 7: that coming up in the Sweet sixty.
31:31
Speaker 4: Love it. That is a trip.
31:32
Speaker 2: I saw Arma tweet last night to think those two
31:34
Speaker 2: schools are playing for a shot at the Elite eight.
31:36
Speaker 4: It's mind blowing.
31:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it's a It is a hated rivalry,
31:40
Speaker 2: I can tell you that.
31:41
Speaker 4: And they played twice this year.
31:42
Speaker 2: They split Iowa one and Ia was city and then
31:44
Speaker 2: lost in overtime in Lincoln. But and one of Iowa's
31:47
Speaker 2: better players last year as the leading scorer for Nebraska
31:49
Speaker 2: this year in Price Sandford because.
31:51
Speaker 6: Of well nebrasketball, Arman.
31:53
Speaker 4: I want to know how things are at your house
31:55
Speaker 4: with per New still alive and kicking and getting ready
31:59
Speaker 4: to face Texas on Thursday night.
32:00
Speaker 3: Good good game ball to git to the bulkips play
32:03
Speaker 3: game Balti Matte Painter, Braden Smith, Fletcher Lawyer and company
32:07
Speaker 3: for winning and making it a happy day in my
32:09
Speaker 3: household yesterday, Perdue onto the Sweet sixteen.

Speaker 4: Shoot Choo Choo Choo. The train rides on boy. For
32:14
Speaker 4: those who don't know, Armand's wife isn't Alum. Yeah, Purdue.
32:18
Speaker 3: But Purdue fans are like most sports fans, right, they
32:22
Speaker 3: think their team is constantly the worst team ever, gonna
32:25
Speaker 3: blow it the whole time, and then they, oh, great,
32:27
Speaker 3: we won, all right, sounds good, let's win again, all right?
32:29
Speaker 2: That was Fletcher Lawyer, like twenty eight years older. Is
32:31
Speaker 2: it just seem like he's been there forever?
32:33
Speaker 6: You know, Andy, they all have the Scottie Reynolds field.
32:36
Speaker 3: They do in a day and age where actually, though
32:38
Speaker 3: there are some college players that are twenty six and
32:40
Speaker 3: twenty eight and things like that, Fletcher Lawyer actually isn't. However,
32:44
Speaker 3: in name and in likeness, he looks like he stepped
32:47
Speaker 3: out of Hoosiers, doesn't he? Fletcher that gay? I don't
32:50
Speaker 3: think he's ever grown one chance of facial hair.
32:53
Speaker 4: Jimmy hit with yeah. I mean, there's no doubt that
32:55
Speaker 4: guy walks around and like.
32:57
Speaker 3: You know, and just flannel shirts tucked in and like,
32:59
Speaker 3: you know, I'm Fletcher.
33:00
Speaker 4: That's how you doing. I worked down at the feed yard.
33:02
Speaker 4: I was going to say, that's more of an insurance
33:04
Speaker 4: office name than Dylan Darling who's an adult film star.
33:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, I see, I didn't get I didn't get farm
33:09
Speaker 7: Land for that one. Really, I thought I thought prep
33:12
Speaker 7: Academy for it. Kind of looks that way too.
33:15
Speaker 4: That's old Fletcher's boy down the farm. No he didn't.
33:19
Speaker 6: No, I mean I could have.
33:20
Speaker 7: I could have seen him rocking out with some of
33:22
Speaker 7: the dentists.
33:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, I see.
33:25
Speaker 2: His postgame interview is more dukish, you know. You know,
33:31
Speaker 2: we just want to take care of business. We have
33:33
Speaker 2: a we have a type.
33:36
Speaker 3: Something. If they give him the ball, he will make shots.
33:38
Speaker 3: I mean he almost. He almost had a perfect day
33:40
Speaker 3: shooting yesterday. And I thought they should have given him
33:43
Speaker 3: more than the National title game a couple of years ago.
33:45
Speaker 4: To be quite honestly, I'll.
33:46
Speaker 7: Tell you this, that team is ah the flies the
33:49
Speaker 7: flag right in the face of transfer portal world. Oh yeah,
33:52
Speaker 7: you're not going to grow and build anything. They throw
33:54
Speaker 7: that graphic up there. Of the three guys that have
33:56
Speaker 7: been there for all four years of losing to fairly
33:59
Speaker 7: Dick and going to the National title. The game against
34:02
Speaker 7: Houston last year was just as good as the Houston
34:04
Speaker 7: da it was it was, and now they got a
34:06
Speaker 7: chance to go do it, and if they make it
34:08
Speaker 7: to the final four, there will not be a more
34:11
Speaker 7: home centric final four crowd than you've seen in a
34:13
Speaker 7: long time in Indiana.
34:14
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Indianapolis final Four. That will be there's
34:17
Speaker 3: no question about it. But the reality is he'll go
34:19
Speaker 3: through the same thing Chako went through this year. Now,
34:21
Speaker 3: when all those guys graduate, he'll have to rebuild. I mean,
34:23
Speaker 3: so it goes both ways.
34:25
Speaker 7: Well, I got to assume they got a seven foot
34:27
Speaker 7: nine dude somewhere.
34:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, switcher Oscar Cluff is from us.
34:31
Speaker 6: Really, Yeah, I'm not that worried about Painter.
34:34
Speaker 7: No, they'll find they'll find some random free show massive
34:38
Speaker 7: even run in there.
34:39
Speaker 4: Absolutely will this. Uh So Thursday we're shaping up. We've
34:43
Speaker 4: got Brewers opener into an evening of college basketball. The

34:57
Speaker 2: would open on that championship Monday.
35:00
Speaker 4: Amen Golf.
35:00
Speaker 2: You'd get home from the game and did all I
35:02
Speaker 2: could do to try to stay awake for the first half.
35:05
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, Gonzaga Carolina or somebody like that.
35:07
Speaker 2: I'm like, please please let me stay awake.
35:09
Speaker 4: From remember the burs opening on the day that Wisconsin
35:14
Speaker 4: played Duke for the Natty. Uh huh. They got smoked
35:17
Speaker 4: and then that set the stage for what was to come.
35:20
Speaker 4: That was a double kick to the nat That's right.
35:22
Speaker 4: That was championship Monday. Bruce got smoked.
35:25
