I've never seen a Ranger team quit before the Olympics.

We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
0:17
can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
0:20
I played 82 games. You don't see LeBron doing that,
0:23
but Jack Hughes did after getting his teeth knocked out
0:26
and played every single shift he got back in the game.

2:26
Illinois defeated Iowa 71 to 59 to advance to their first Final
2:30
Four appearance since 2005. Illinois defense remained
2:34
dominant, holding Iowa to under 60 points for the first time in
2:39
the tournament. The Arizona Wildcats are heading
2:42
to their first Final Four since 2001 after a 7964 win over
2:47
Purdue. After Purdue was up by 7 points
2:50
at half, Arizona had a 16 three second-half run led by freshman
2:57
KOA Pete, who was named the West Region Most Outstanding Player.
3:03
Purdue's veteran trio of Braden, Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman,
3:08
Wren and Fletcher Lawyer struggle badly, combining to
3:12
shoot just 12 out 12 for 38 in the game.
3:17
In the last game, Michigan blew out Tennessee 95 to 62, which is
3:21
expected to advance to their first Final Four since 2018.
3:25
This is the third straight year Tennessee has been eliminating
3:29
in Elite 8 and is one of nine Power Five teams to have never
3:35
made a Final Four. Michigan won their 11th game by
3:38
30 or more points this season and also became the first team
3:43
in NCAA history Tournament history to win four straight
3:47
games by double digits while scoring at least 90 in a game.
3:52
By the way, it's very impressive what Michigan did throughout
3:56
this tournament. When you look at Michigan and
3:58
what Michigan has done in this tournament, I, there are a lot
4:02
of things that I could say that really stuck out to me, but I, I
4:06
wouldn't have expected this team to do it and make it look so
4:10
easy, especially what they did against Tennessee, because
4:14
Tennessee throughout the tournament, there were, there
4:17
was a lot of questions with Tennessee.
4:19
Are they going to score enough? Are they going to be able to
4:21
play at an elite level? Well, they proved everybody
4:24
wrong because they did it in such a high level all the way
4:27
through the Sweet 16 until the Elite 8.
4:30
They bumped into a a jigsaw puzzle of Michigan because you I
4:33
say they're a jigsaw puzzle because there are games that
4:36
Michigan makes this game makes the game look so close.
4:39
And you have questions if Michigan's going to be able to
4:42
play at a high level throughout the game because they're up and
4:44
they're down. They don't play heavy defense.
4:47
They don't score enough in certain quarters.
4:49
And and you wonder is this team going to win a national
4:52
championship? Are they capable of winning a
4:53
national championship? We've seen Arizona do it
4:56
throughout this tournament. Even when they're their ups and
4:58
downs, they're just a high flying offense.
5:00
We know what Arizona can do and what they're capable of doing.
5:02
They have Bradley and they're Berries, two guys that are going
5:05
to be top ten, top 12 picks. Michigan is different.
5:11
What Michigan brings to the table, they're a high flying
5:14
offense. They can score, they can go up
5:16
and down the court. The things that they do better
5:20
than most teams in this tournament is they could shoot
5:22
the three, they can shoot. This team could shoot.
5:26
Arizona is not a great 3 point shooting team.
5:29
They're not. They don't shoot.
5:30
They shoot the least amount of three pointers going into this
5:34
tournament and really throughout this tournament they haven't
5:36
shot a lot of three pointers. If Michigan plays like they
5:41
played against Tennessee, there's no chance in hell
5:43
Arizona has to beating them. They're the best overall team, I
5:49
believe, in this tournament because of what they do strong
5:53
and what the other teams don't do strong.
5:57
But I, I, I was, I was impressed with Arizona.
6:01
I was, I, I, I can't, I can't hide behind it.
6:03
I was impressed. I, I, I'm not surprised that
6:08
when Arizona took the lead and it started to break out and, and
6:11
break away from Purdue, Purdue was going to have problem
6:13
scoring. And I'll tell you this, what
6:15
Arizona did very well, they kept Purdue outside of the paint.
6:19
They kept the ball outside of the paint.
6:21
They may produce shoot shots that they were uncomfortable
6:24
doing. They were putting and they made
6:27
sure they're their best shooters weren't getting the right shots,
6:30
the right spots to hit their shots.
6:33
And I watched it. I've been watching Purdue all
6:35
season long and this was the first time that I could say that
6:38
Purdue and Purdue lost like 7-8 games this year.
6:41
It wasn't like they were undefeated.
6:43
They they only lost two or three games.
6:46
They they've been beaten a couple times this year, but a
6:48
lot of those games were very close games.
6:51
They weren't, They didn't get blown out.
6:53
To me, this was a blowout, an absolute torture rack.
6:58
And everybody remember, I I forget who it was who did the
7:01
torture rack in wrestling. I I I'm trying to remember, was
7:04
it Lex Luger that did the torture rack?
7:06
It was. He did the torture.
7:08
Yeah, it was Lex Luger. Thank you, Tommy.
7:10
I mean, I, I pretty much pulled it out.
7:12
These are my wrestling guys, and they couldn't give me.
7:14
They couldn't give it to me. It was Lex Luger that did the
7:17
torture rack. And what did Lex Luger do?
7:19
He put them on your back and he'd squeeze your back until you
7:21
completely are done. Well, that's what Arizona did in
7:25
the second-half and they did it pretty quickly.
7:28
At the 15 point mark, I mean 15 minute mark, I believe the game
7:34
was over. I didn't think Purdue was going
7:37
to come back no matter how close it was.
7:38
And Purdue knocked it down to five points with 10 minutes
7:41
left. There was no way Purdue was
7:43
going to come back in this game. Why?
7:45
Because they couldn't stop Berries.
7:47
They could not stop him even when they were calling time outs
7:51
and their coach is one of the best defensive minds in all the
7:54
college basketball. They couldn't contain him and
8:00
that ladies and gentlemen and Pete was almost impossible to
8:03
stop. It was just it was a flat out
8:08
dominant play when it came to Arizona.
8:11
Just completely wiped the smack if out of the mouths of the
8:16
Purdue Boil makers. I I don't boiler men
8:20
Boilermakers. They're definitely boiling
8:21
water, boiling tea, whatever they're doing.
8:24
They're playing golf right now and wondering what did they do
8:27
in the second-half that made them not show up to the
8:31
second-half? Now, what happened was they
8:33
missed way too many threes and they were open shots, so you you
8:37
got to take them. But that also plays into the
8:39
hands of them trying to not play the half court defense they have
8:42
to play because they were stuck in a lot of transition
8:44
opportunities, which benefits Arizona a lot.
8:46
Now, I'm not saying Arizona's a super fast pace east team, but
8:49
somebody a team that likes to drive to the hoop and shoot the
8:51
mid range and obviously shoot foul shots as well as they do
8:54
like Arizona doesn't doesn't like to shoot the three.
8:55
The transition game kind of benefits them so that when they
8:58
had that super fast run as quickly as they did, a lot of it
9:02
has to do with them playing such a great transition game and such
9:04
a great inside passing game to make that kind of thing work.
9:07
And Purdue, if they play their traditional style of what Matt
9:10
Painter likes to do and try to drive inside and slow the game
9:13
down, then that kind of thing you could play even with.
9:15
You could try to weather the storm and you're not going to
9:18
get a run like that as big against them because Arizona was
9:20
struggling shooting inside at the beginning.
9:22
Arizona or Purdue was duping them into shooting threes at the
9:25
beginning. They were duping them into
9:27
taking those tough shots inside. And then they went away from it
9:30
because they couldn't just get enough transition defense.
9:33
And Arizona eventually just took off.
9:34
At that point, you forced Purdue to have to play from behind,
9:37
which is not really their strength.
9:38
It's never really been that pain or strength is trying to play
9:40
from behind when they're doing well with that.
9:44
Even this team that has a really good potency of scoring depth,
9:47
it just wasn't there. It was just disappeared all at
9:49
once and it's just going to be hard to do.
9:51
As far as Michigan goes, Michigan outside of really the
9:53
1st 5 minutes of games has been fine.
9:56
Offensively. They struggled at the beginning
9:57
of the Alabama game. Actually, I should say the
9:59
Alabama game, they were, they were struggling much of the
10:02
half. But besides that, it's really
10:04
just been the slow starts. Besides that, they could play
10:06
good transition all around. They have good size, big guys
10:09
shooting the three too. Errol, it's not just a lot of
10:11
guards, it's a lot of their forwards that could shoot the
10:13
three very well with big size and they play really good
10:15
defense. Tennessee was coming in with an
10:17
offense that I wasn't sure about at the beginning of the
10:19
tournament, but they played very well against Virginia, who has a
10:21
good defense, and they played well against Iowa State, really
10:24
dominated that whole second-half, but did not have it
10:27
in that game. And they just really got lost
10:28
when they fell badly behind. They just never recovered.
10:30
You want to talk about like UConn never gave up, Tennessee
10:32
looks like they gave up in that game.
10:34
Once I met wasn't scoring in a lot of other things.
10:36
And Illinois I've questioned Illinois tournament defense all
10:40
see all series long, all this tournament long because they
10:43
were better than previous years. But it wasn't something that I
10:45
was was sure about. They were stifling against
10:49
Houston, 55 points and then 59 points against an Iowa team that
10:52
was scoring 70 plus throughout the tournament.
10:54
They scored 73 on Florida and they were shooting the three
10:57
like crazy. And Illinois had a very good at
10:59
defensive game plans and it stayed very disciplined and it
11:01
does a lot of credit. I'm going to tell you this,
11:03
Illinois could absolutely win a national champions championship.
11:06
They can. They played very well all all
11:08
throughout the tournament of defense.
11:10
They've been shooting the ball very, very well.
11:12
I I was very impressed what they did to Iowa.
11:14
Iowa has been playing at a high level.
11:16
I didn't think Illinois was going to win to beat Iowa.
11:19
I didn't. But hey, you know what?
11:20
That's what you want to see. You want to see these surprise
11:23
teams. I don't think on everybody's
11:25
bracket you would think that Illinois was going all the way
11:28
to the Final Four. I didn't say they wanted
11:33
National. Champions.
11:34
No. You said they're going to win.
11:35
No, I said. They can win a very.
11:36
Capable of it if you look at their average.
11:38
Margin of victory this year? Well, they're in the final four.
11:40
Why? Couldn't they?
11:41
And they've won every game by double digits.
11:43
Why couldn't they? They got all the way over here.
11:45
They hit some game-winning shots.
11:47
Why can't Illinois actually pull off and win a national
11:49
championship this year? We've seen crazier things.
11:52
I, I, I think there's, there's a lot of opportunity here for a
11:56
team like Illinois to, to go all the way and not go off UConn, a
11:59
national championship team and go to the national championship
12:02
and wipe the floor with Arizona, who's never really won a big
12:06
game. How many, how many championships
12:08
has Arizona won in the last 20 years?
12:13
You're saying they're about to win, but they got to go through
12:15
Michigan 1st and they're going to go through UConn.
12:19
Or Illinois. Or.
12:20
Illinois. You can't take Illinois.
12:21
For. Granted.
12:22
You kind of going to beat the brace up in the north because
12:24
the Yukon can't pay no worse than they paid last game against
12:28
you. There's no way.
12:29
Yeah, but they also did this with UCLA, too.
12:31
UCLA, they were struggling mightily offensively.
12:33
It was really just Caravan. You can't say and I know Quinn,
12:37
you you have Arizona, so you have them winning at all and if
12:40
you want to patch yourself on the back, that's fine.
12:42
That's great. What happens if Arizona loses
12:44
against Michigan, because it could happen.
12:46
What if yes, just like dude just like that.
12:49
There was no chance in it really going into the second-half.
12:52
I thought that Arizona's going to win that game against Purdue.
12:55
They were playing like crap. They were playing like doggy Doo
12:59
Doo. OK.
13:00
And then you predicted, you predicted that was going to
13:02
transition into that game. Come on, Quinn, you did not.
13:05
Believe that was happening. You think that is luck but this
13:10
thing, these things happen it is luck.
13:12
People that show up, they play. Please, it's about making shots
13:15
play, nothing to do with all these other nuances.
13:17
You're a data guy, so I understand why you feel that,
13:19
but however it's about making shots that's.
13:23
All first of all speedies the data.
13:27
No. Actually, I'm not the heavy data
13:31
guy. I'm.
13:32
Not. I'm, I'm saying to you when I
13:36
look at the, when I watch the tournament and I understand the
13:38
tournament and watch and I, I, I'll be straight up honest with
13:42
you, I don't really watch a lot of these teams until the last
13:45
3-4 weeks of the season. And I'm going to tell you this
13:48
right now, I and anybody that tells me differently that you
13:51
watch college basketball religiously is a lie because I
13:54
don't believe it. I do not believe anybody can
13:57
sell me unless you're a betting man, a handicapper like Jeff or
14:00
Snug the Cat or anything. Anybody that sits there and
14:03
they're pathological, there's no way you're going to tell me, oh,
14:06
I've been watching Arizona all season long.
14:09
I watch every one of their game because that's a lie.
14:12
That is an absolute lie. You can watch it as many as.
14:15
People who do, how you going to say this?
14:17
A. Lie.
14:17
I'm I'm telling you that I know for a fact you didn't do it.
14:20
No, they're on that West. Coast, I'm asking you, did you
14:23
watch Arizona whole? Season.
14:24
No. No, but I.
14:26
Know that's what I'm saying that tells us, ladies and gentlemen,
14:29
Quentin Couples knows. So that's what tells us, ladies
14:33
and gentlemen, the great cue. Oh God almighty cue tells us I
14:39
stayed. Up late for you.
14:40
Q. And watch that, though.
14:41
And I tell you what happened, Errol, my man Mr. Buries, shut
14:45
them the hell down in the second-half.
14:47
Hit 43 pointers, was everything for them.
14:50
Loose balls like Josh Hart, diving, making plays, but has
14:54
more offense than him. My goodness, this guy is going
14:57
to be a steal for somebody in the draft.
14:59
And Pete, I mean, I'm reading, you know, some comps online.
15:02
I just keep seeing Julius Randle, but like, like that,
15:06
kind of like a playmaker at the Power.
15:08
Oh, can't wait for him to be the bricklayer.
15:09
In this game, yeah. That's great, the bricklayer
15:12
against. Mission.
15:13
But they don't have to go to him is the point because you saw the
15:16
ball movement arrow, all the highlights of Arizona.
15:19
The reason why they've been so successful is they pass the ball
15:22
with the best of them. They just anybody that watch
15:24
ball, anybody that watch Ball knew Arizona was going to win
15:27
this year anyway, so. But well, hold on a second the
15:29
same way. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
15:31
on, hold on one second. So what you're telling us right
15:34
now is you did what everybody was doing, picking your champion
15:38
because everybody else was picking their champion the same
15:41
way you don't pick, you don't go and play.
15:44
You do not go on the bracket and say, you know what, everybody's
15:47
picking Arizona to win. I'm picking Arizona to win.
15:50
Is that what you did? I think that's what you did.
15:53
You only think that's why, That's why you think the
15:55
brackets are. Look, see, I actually talked to
15:57
Hoopers. I actually talked.
15:58
Oh, so so I don't talk to. Give me insight on I'm sorry,
16:02
not looking or not seeing OK, because you don't look at games
16:05
at really we said the season. So therefore you wouldn't know
16:08
what Arizona looks like because you only you only wait till the
16:11
end of the season. Fans, are you listening to this
16:13
garbage? Yes.
16:14
Are you listening? Fans ask them who's leading in
16:16
the bracket. It doesn't matter who's leading
16:18
in the bracket, it does. Go ask the fans who lead in the
16:21
bracket in the last two years. Go after what?
16:24
Fantasy? Who cares?
16:26
It's luck. It's luck.
16:28
Down to this. It's luck.
16:30
It is. Luck it is 100.
16:32
Percent luck. I'm telling you before it
16:34
happened, how does? That look, do you want me to?
16:36
Do you want me to show you? Maybe you should read my
16:38
article. Maybe you should read my
16:40
article. Maybe I should throw you a
16:41
curveball and you'll read the article.
16:43
Because the article. I did my research.
16:45
It's all about luck. As a matter of fact, 69%.
16:49
Of the problem doing research and then you're going to say is
16:51
luck. Because you rely heavy on the
16:53
research. Oh.
16:55
All right, so let's hear what is just.
16:57
Like before that shot we do, it was an 89% chance that dude was
17:00
going to win. So let me ask you a.
17:02
Question to show you research also showed that 134 games when
17:08
our team is leading at the halftime by 10 or 15 points that
17:11
they were going to win the game. So research shows me.
17:14
That these guys are John Shire and.
17:15
That's what. It goes Research also tells me
17:17
that Arizona can't win the big game.
17:20
That's what research tells me every single year, over and over
17:23
and over again. They find a way to.
17:25
Tell. Though.
17:27
Research also shows you that experience doesn't win and
17:29
experienced teams don't win. Now, Quentin.
17:32
Research doesn't sell nothing. I'm going to tell you this and
17:36
you could go and look at statistics, data, or you got to
17:39
have your thumb in your ass. That's not going to sell
17:41
anything to me, OK? What tells me right now is when
17:45
we go to break, I'm going to have to go to the bathroom.
17:47
And there's another thing that sells me what research tells me.
17:50
I could care less what everybody is giving you and all the
17:53
information on social media, Your quote UN quote hoopers,
17:57
because you know what those hoopers do when it comes down to
18:00
their brackets? They go down and they hide.
18:03
They hide under their desks when they're outside the bracket
18:06
looking in because it's all luck anyways.
18:09
I'm above the Dicks. I'm above the.
18:10
Oh yeah, you're above I. Told you, don't worry.
18:12
Quentin, you could go send our friend Carl some Michigan gear
18:15
when they beat Arizona. Hugh's going to be hiding under
18:18
his desk when the Celtics lose against the Knicks.
18:23
He's going to be, he's going to be, he's going to be ducking and
18:25
weaving. What New York did lost a double
18:33
digit knee. Stop.
18:35
Wow, they got this error. Isn't that funny, really?
18:40
Is that, is that how is that how we're going on this show?
18:45
Is that where we're going? I think we don't want to go that
18:48
route. We got to talk about
18:50
Stojakovic's kid on Illinois a little bit.
18:52
That kid is for real. Andrei Stojakovic.
18:55
Where are they talking about him going right now in the draft?
18:58
Is he's been lighting? Up all.
18:59
I've seen mid, I've seen mid. I've seen mostly 16 through 20
19:02
with him. Kawhi Leonard.
19:04
Yeah, like, right there. So much.
19:06
Depth in this draft, dude. So much it's.
19:09
Going to be fun. I'm interested to see where some
19:11
of these guys land. Anyways, My golf clap of the
19:14
day. This deserves a golf clap.
19:18
No doubt. Golf.
19:19
Clap Golf. Clap.
19:22
All right, ladies and gentlemen, my golf clap in a day.
19:24
I don't even know if it's a golf clap.
19:26
It could be my deuce of the day because it makes no sense
19:29
whatsoever. The Golden Knights listen to
19:33
this, their championship coach who won a Stanley Cup with the
19:39
Boston Bruins, who they pride him away from the Boston Bruins
19:43
to be and pay them a heavy amount of money.
19:46
They fired him at the tail end of the season and who did they
19:51
put into his spots? And it makes no sense
19:54
whatsoever. I, I like this guy.
19:56
I, I root for him. I hope nothing but the best.
19:59
John Tortorella. Becomes the new head coach of
20:04
the Golden Knights. No, John Tordorella won a
20:07
championship. He won a Stanley Cup with the
20:10
Tampa Bay Lightning. I, I, I mean, I, I love John
20:14
Tordorella. I love everything about him, but
20:16
everywhere he's gone, he's had problems with the locker room.
20:19
Now you put him in a locker room with a bunch of veterans,
20:22
talented veterans, and you are still in a playoff spot How do
20:26
you fire a coach when you're in a playoff spot?
20:29
It makes no sense. And right now, go golden.
20:32
The Golden Knights, as far as talent is concerned, probably is
20:34
a top four team in the playoffs. Top five.
20:37
They're as talented as any team going into the playoffs.
20:40
Why would you fire your coach with what, 2 weeks left of the
20:45
NHL season? It makes no sense.
20:47
You know what this tells me? The Golden Knights are going to
20:51
fall very, very short for a Stanley Cup championship this
20:55
year. There is no way this team is
20:57
going to win a Stanley Cup going in to the playoffs with a guy
21:01
that has not been behind the bench as the head coach all
21:05
season long. So my Golf Club of the day goes
21:08
to the non champion Golden Knights because they're not
21:12
winning nothing this year. So golf clap it, golf clap it.
21:15
Beautiful. Thank you.
21:17
Thank you very, very much to the Golden Knights.
21:19
Because no matter who the Golden Knights play, if they move into
21:23
the next round or even the the Westerkoff championship, which
21:26
they don't have any chance, I'm going to tell you, you could
21:28
book it. They're probably getting
21:29
eliminated in the first round, bringing John Tortorella because
21:32
all he believes in his defense, defense, defense.
21:35
And half these guys don't even know what defense is.
21:37
So I mean, Mitch Marner played defense.
21:40
Yeah, that's going to work. If I go through their roster
21:43
right now, they have probably one of the best offensive
21:46
defensive forwards in all of hockey.
21:48
And then the rest of the team, there's a lot of questions to
21:51
the roster and and what they play and how deep they play.
21:54
And the goaltending has been up and down all season long.
21:57
So a lot of questions for the Golden Knights and John
21:59
Tortorella is not the answer as far as I'm concerned anyways.
22:02
We call this tic tic no. Morris right in the butt.
22:09
We get the prizes. Cheap because they're stolen.
22:12
No, no, no, no, no, no. Make her squirt.
22:21
Make me jerk. Fish.
22:23
Fish. You update yours to a shark, I
22:24
say. Speedy seats with endangered
22:27
animals. That is not an endangered.
22:29
Animal. I'm more aggressive than this
22:31
Tic tac No 3 point O squeeze the T.
22:34
Time out am I, John? Cena there.
22:36
That is, that is Tommy poop Cena right there on.
22:40
Top right poop Cena. All right, speedy verse, all of
22:46
us Trivia. Let's.
22:49
Get it going. All right, just for you and quit
22:51
and I have to start off with Michigan's head coach Dusty May
22:53
who becomes the 6th coach to wake a final four in both a
22:56
power conference and a non power conference team named two of the
23:00
other five coaches who have done that since 1970.
23:05
I'm going to need you to repeat that one.
23:07
More time. So Dusty May.
23:08
He made the final four with FAU. Now makes the final four with
23:10
Michigan. He's becomes the 6th coach since
23:12
1970. Make a final four with both a
23:13
power five team and a non power five team.
23:16
Named two of the other five coaches who have done that.
23:19
Calipari. Calipari is one, yeah.
23:22
Pitino, not Pitino. Providence is a Big East that's
23:25
I got one for. Basketball Roy Williams.
23:27
Nope. He's it was power.
23:29
I'll go say it. Yeah, but he's.
23:31
All right. So we only need one more.
23:33
We need one more and we each get 2 guesses or or one all right so
23:37
we just get 2 guesses. We got our interns Dom and Zood
23:41
in the back as well helping us out.
23:43
Good to see you boys. I got I got speeded power 5.
23:53
Yeah, one non power 5 we already.
23:55
Said no, no. Biggie's for basketball counts
23:58
as a power conference, so it's not.
23:59
It's not Matino. How about I say it was about,
24:01
you know. All right, so the other one let
24:04
me think, oh, it's going to be a random 1, isn't it?
24:09
I only. Got one more guess too.
24:12
There's one very random one. The other three names are pretty
24:15
recognizable. OK.
24:19
Jay Wright. Not Jay Wright.
24:25
Did Bobby Knight take Army to a Final Four before Indiana?
24:29
No. All right, so I'm out of
24:30
guesses. Dana Altman.
24:35
Not Dana Altman all. Right, you're at 2 Q.
24:39
Tommy, I was trying to find the most random name that I can
24:45
remember. If if it's the one that was
24:48
random that I was thinking of, I'm going to be so pissed I
24:50
can't think of another one for my second.
24:52
Fish take my gas. I got nothing.
24:54
I, I don't even, I don't even know if he made it to the Final
24:57
Four. I just know his, his name just
24:58
kept popping in my head. Andy Enfield.
25:00
No. No, he was the FG, the Florida
25:02
Gulf Coast coach. They went to the Sweet 16.
25:05
Yeah, I just remember loving that, like, campus of Florida
25:09
Gulf Coast when they were winning.
25:10
Have you ever seen a better campus for college?
25:12
They're on the beach, bro. It's crazy.
25:14
Yeah. I think so.
25:15
I think Stetson is the same way. So I think their campus is
25:17
right. There as well, yeah.
25:20
I can't think I I'm trying to. I'm trying to remember some.
25:24
Of the better than Dukes. What is the What is the
25:26
initials? We need a hit.
25:27
Give us a life all. Right.
25:29
One of them, one of them was on a team that just lost in the
25:32
second weekend. This.
25:34
This second weekend, this. 2nd. Weekend.
25:38
I don't know. Second weekend.
25:39
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's saying that they just.
25:42
You need to give it part of the bracket the second weekend.
25:45
So they made. 16. Or the elite, Less than that,
25:51
less than that, I don't know. I don't know.
25:53
It's less than that because I already.
25:55
He did make two Final Fours, but it wasn't with it was both with
25:57
Gonzaga. I don't know, honestly.
25:59
I don't know. Let's go, Speedy.
26:01
Let's. Move.
26:01
All right, so I got it. I mentioned one of them earlier
26:04
in the show was Bob Hawkins made it with Cincinnati and West
26:06
Virginia. The one the one that just lost
26:09
was Calvin Sampson who made it with Houston when they were not
26:12
in the Big 12. They were AAC team.
26:14
They also he also made it with Oklahoma back in 2000, back in
26:17
2002 and then 2023, Jim Larranega joined that club,
26:21
making it with George Mason and Miami.
26:23
You want my cream pie? George Mason, Team I, Jim.
26:26
Larranega, I don't think it was going.
26:27
To be that. All right, Speedy, I'm giving
26:29
you the middle, I'm assuming and let's get back to the next
26:32
question. All right, let's go to those
26:34
rookies you were talking about fish.
26:35
So both De Lauder and Maracami homered in their first 3
26:38
consecutive games in their career, which is one behind the
26:42
rookie record which was set by what American League East player
26:46
who did it in 2016. Oh damn.
26:49
Now he was 16 on a National League team at the time.
26:52
He's now an American League East player.
26:54
In there to. OK, All right.
26:56
So it's a guy who's been in a league for at least eight years.
27:01
Say that again. Say that.
27:02
Again. So this player, who's now in the
27:03
American League East, set the rookie record homering in his
27:06
first four straight games in his career when he was a member of
27:10
the National League team at that time.
27:14
In the East. Now in the American League East,
27:17
Cody Bellinger? Nope.
27:20
Pete Alonso in the. American.
27:23
He's in there, Yeah. No or in there though. 20160 OK
27:26
2016 Alonso gave up in 19 OK. So older than Alonso?
27:31
It's going to be in his 30s mid 30s probably.
27:35
Stan. Nope.
27:38
Stan is around longer. That's a tough one, man.
27:44
I'm trying to, I'm trying to look through every single team
27:46
in my head and. I'm trying to think of the teams
27:49
in the in the East that have like a 34 year old kind of home
27:54
run hitter, right It's. Got to be somebody on the Devil
28:03
the Rays. Isn't my guy Andy Diaz?
28:06
No. He'd be the right age for it.
28:10
No, he never played in the National League.
28:13
I wasn't sure if he came up with Saint Louis or something like
28:15
that. I.
28:15
Don't think he ever yeah came up with.
28:18
Them. Yeah, I don't know, Speedy.
28:19
All right. Anyone got a guess?
28:21
Anyone want to throw a guess out?
28:23
Speedy is whooping this tonight. So I'll give you the NL
28:26
division. He came up in an for an NL.
28:28
My rear end is burning. NL W to AL East, Yes.
28:36
Is it Tommy? I take your guess, is it var
28:41
show? Nope.
28:43
All right, I got nothing. Speedy.
28:45
What? Who is it?
28:46
Trevor Story. Oh, the Rockies.
28:51
Damn, I should have thought of that.
28:53
All right, Speedy, where are we going?
28:55
Top right. Top right, right here, covering
28:59
up Tommy Cena. AKA Jesus Christ right there.
29:03
Let's. Go.
29:06
Look at that. All right, Speedy, give us one
29:08
where where we got it. All right.
29:09
Let's go for some football. We'll give Q an NFL one.
29:11
So Lavonte David, one of three players with 40 sacks and 35
29:15
takeaways since 1982, Name the other two.
29:18
Say it again. Lavonte David is one of three
29:21
players with 40 sacks and 35 takeaways in his career since
29:24
1982. Name the other two players.
29:26
At at that position, they're both at that position.
29:31
Speedy. I'm going to let you guys guess,
29:34
but speedy effed up because I had this exact stat in the
29:38
sports minute last week. I know who it is.
29:43
He had 40 sacks and 30 takeaways.
29:45
They're. 40 and 35. You can answer it because he
29:48
screwed up. That's not fair.
29:50
He screwed. I'll get you guys guess, but
29:51
don't spend too long. I'm going to give you the
29:53
answer. He screwed up.
29:56
He did 35 takeaways. It is.
29:59
They're both middle linebackers and they're both Hall of
30:01
Farmers. Ray Lewis.
30:03
Yep, and the other great middle linebacker that time on the
30:07
conference. Nope.
30:09
Not Luke. Good guess, 49ers.
30:13
Oh, Bobby Wagner. Nope, not Wagner.
30:15
Good guess. He has the tackle record right
30:19
now I think. He does, it's insane.
30:22
It is. It's been a team.
30:24
Brian Urlacher is. Brian Urlacher, Bears Yes.
30:27
All right, Q me, I'm going to. Touch my end there.
30:31
Since you got the first one. Come on, you're going.
30:34
To bring Q to block speedy. Denied.
30:39
Denied. Speedy.
30:44
All right, what's next, Speedy? All right, so Tennessee failed
30:47
to become the first six seed to make the Final four,
30:49
specifically a six seed. There's been 7 through Elevens
30:51
that have made it since 1992. The last one who did that was
30:54
what team. A6.
30:55
Seed a six, seed exactly a six seed you.
30:57
Said what year? 1992.
31:00
Jesus 92 six seed. 92 is the fab five year isn't it?
31:11
So fab five were in a six seed. Duke wasn't a six seed.
31:14
Who were the other two teams in the final four that year?
31:22
I feel like I must have watched a documentary of this a million
31:24
freaking times. I feel like Kentucky was one of
31:25
the teams but I would doubt they were a six seed.
31:28
So it's whoever the other team. What?
31:32
See 92 branking it. Oh man, I.
31:37
See UCLA. Was it BSSC?
31:41
UNLV was good before. I'll take a guess, Arizona
31:44
State. Nope.
31:49
Succeed. That is so tough.
32:01
I don't know. I got, I've got no idea.
32:04
I feel like you need to give us a conference on that one.
32:07
Yeah. What's the conference?
32:08
Big 10. Big Care 290.
32:15
Two Big 10. Well, the first name in my head
32:20
was Indiana, so I'm going to stick with it.
32:22
Nope. What's Nebraska?
32:25
Is Nebraska in it? They weren't.
32:28
They weren't back then. Not back then.
32:29
They were big. 12 I love Lisa Ann.
32:31
Purdue. What about Purdue?
32:32
Nope, Purdue was Purdue before two years ago.
32:36
They didn't have a Final Four until 1980.
32:39
PAC 10. Big.
32:41
Big 10, Big 10. OK, big. 10 But Nebraska wasn't
32:44
in the Big 10 at that time. So they were back when the
32:48
conferences made sense. Can't wait it wasn't O state
32:54
this. Oh my God.
32:58
They say it wasn't Michigan. Ohio State.
33:06
Was not Ohio State breaking news.
33:07
I'm taking you on it's team to beat Ohio State in the Elite 8
33:10
though man. All right, let's go, Speedy.
33:19
All right, right. I think we're done.
33:21
Speedy, what do you got for? Us well, fish, you probably just
33:24
sort of just said the first team you said because that was the
33:26
answer They were, it was it was Michigan.
33:30
Michigan was a six seed. It was a six seed.
33:32
Yep. It was good.
33:33
I was a six seed they. Were I thought I couldn't say.
33:36
I thought Michigan wasn't an option.
33:38
I never said it wasn't in. Ohio State.
33:41
Where are we going? I never said it wasn't.
33:43
I just thought it was a Big 10 team.
33:44
All right, let's. Go.
33:46
Bottom right. Bottom right for Speedy, so he's
33:49
got a two way. He got a two way.
33:50
On us right now, all. Right, I'll get him to.
33:53
Get at least two in a row. Yep.
33:55
I'll give you an NBA one for the next 1.
33:57
So LeBron James became one of five players to get the 1500
34:01
game mark in his career, namely 2 of the other 4.
34:06
Two of the other 4. Yep, Robert Parish.
34:10
Besides Parish, that was a record he broke.
34:12
There was two others after that. Kareem, you can take that back.
34:17
Cream is one, yeah. Yeah, I must say, Kareem Karl.
34:22
Nope. Not Karl Malone or John
34:25
Stockton. Yeah, it's John Slackman.
34:27
It's on the other. Yeah.
34:28
Nice. All right, That's one block
34:31
right there. Smell my ass.
34:33
Which one you want to block you? I suggest we block the one up
34:38
here so we can have a win. It's right here, right?
34:40
Yeah. Right control your.
34:42
Subconscious. Right, All right.
34:45
Next one wins, basically, boys. Here we go.
34:48
I'll go back to the NFL for this one.
34:50
So outside of JS NS 119 catch season, there were some guys
34:55
above them that were did in the 20th century, 21st century.
34:58
But we want to talk about the three guys that did it in the
35:00
20th century who had more catches than JS NS that year.
35:04
So all three of them did it in 1995.
35:06
Named two of these three wider. Seats Marvin Harrison.
35:09
Nope. No, that wouldn't have been 90.
35:11
5. 9595 Andre Johnson No. Rice guys were like 13.
35:18
Rice, Jerry Rice was 1, yes. Jerry Rice is one of them for
35:21
sure. Jerry Rice.
35:22
Michael Irvin. Not Michael Irvin.
35:25
I think he was hurt a ridiculous amount of catches in 95I.
35:32
Have no clue. What this team?
35:35
It's like, oh, Chris Carter, baby, not.
35:38
Chris Carter. Daily lives.
35:41
How about Tony Gonzalez? Nope.
35:43
No. Damn.
35:47
All right, We get 2 guesses because there's two guys we had
35:48
to get. Yeah.
35:50
You already guessed. I have I have AI only guessed 1
35:53
you. Get Herman Moore.
35:55
Yeah, you get one more. Herman Moore.
35:57
Herman Moore Yeah, you got it too.
35:59
Perfect high charges the other. Speeding was the other one Larry
36:04
centered. Nope, the other one was Jerry
36:05
Rice or no Jerry Rice, I think. Bruce.
36:08
Bruce I. Did Bruce?
36:09
I did, Bruce. But yeah, I remember like Herman
36:12
Penner had like 100 yard, 100 reception fullback season.
36:15
Back then he went retarded. Yeah, I saw goodies, ChatGPT
36:18
running back for like receptions or whatever.
36:21
He's like, oh, Larry, Larry Setters, that's the stud.
36:26
So there it is. Q Look at that.
36:28
You get the win. Get the W right here.
36:32
That is a win. We got it.
36:35
Tic Tac no ain't got nothing. Do I get this speech like a
36:41
winner speech or anything? You don't go.
36:43
I'll put you out. I'll spotlight you right now.
36:45
What you got? Here I was so sick of winning.
36:50
I really am. I was so sick.
36:52
How does any keep winning, keep winning?
36:55
And it's just amazing to be there every Monday and Thursday
36:59
and then and by the winning the bracket and then I win my first
37:02
Tic Tac. No, you know, I want to thank my
37:04
team though. You know the guys that you see
37:06
on the bottom, man, Without them, I I wouldn't be nothing,
37:09
man. So I'm really grateful for you
37:10
guys and allowing me to continue.
37:13
What did you win? You won nothing.
37:15
You haven't won. Anything, Sir, I'm speaking You
37:18
haven't won anything. What did you win?
37:22
I hate a clap. That's what you.
37:23
Want. Thank you.
37:24
You want a. Clap.
37:25
That's it. That's all you want.
37:27
It's the little things that matter.
37:28
Yeah, don't you worry. Appreciate it.
37:29
You're not winning that bracket. And even if you do win the
37:31
bracket, it's all luck. So you can sink that and then
37:34
anything you want to throw out there, hope it sticks.
37:38
