The Nets lose their star player. They lose their star closer.
0:04
The Nets are in a bad spot right now.
0:12
I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
0:15
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 to
0:26
play every single shift he got back in the game.
1:28
Hello, Hello. You're listening to the New York
1:31
sports loudmouth. We are back ladies and gentlemen
1:38

2:21
for all our shows is go to our website at
2:24
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. I'm fixing the sound on the back
2:31
end. It's been a crazy, crazy day.
2:34
The weather out here I I don't know it's every time I come on
2:38
this show I'm trying to figure out is it going to be hot?
2:41
Is it going to be cold? Is it going to be normal?
2:43
Normal to me is about 40° and today it was normal.
2:47
So as you can see, I'm wearing a nice short sleeve shirt and
2:50
joining enjoying the weather and you know, I'm just enjoying
2:55
everything that's going on. There's nothing really going on
2:57
in sports. The Yankees get knocked out.
3:00
I mean, knocked out by one run, one to nothing.
3:03
We'll get into that a little bit later.
3:04
Athletics beat the Yankees. The Yankees pitching has been
3:07
superb, but they're not hitting timely as the Yankees have done
3:12
this year in and year out. It's been a big problem for the
3:15
New York Yankees finding a way to get contact on the ball, but
3:20
we'll get into that a little bit later in the Show.
3:22
Q What's up, man? What's going on, man?
3:25
Yeah, the Yankees definitely took a hard loss for that ain't
3:28
man. So I'm a little down about that.
3:30
But other than that, man, that's a good Thursday.
3:33
I'm ready to light you up. Get the fans what they came to
3:36
see a massacre. And yeah, let's get to it, baby.
3:40
Let's go. Light me up.
3:43
What do you think this is like, you know, race or something?
3:46
We're going into a, you know, a race car race, a NASCAR race or
3:50
we're we're playing, we're actually playing in the Masters
3:53
right now because Masters are going on right now and we have a
3:58
good three days left. We got Friday, Saturday and
4:01
Sunday to find out who are champions going to be.
4:04
We'll get into that a little bit later.
4:06
I, I'm not a golf fan, but I know there's a lot of fans out
4:09
there that absolutely enjoy this time of year, especially the
4:14
Masters. You have the US Open, tennis is
4:17
right around the corner when the summer comes around.
4:19
So I like the tennis. So with, with all the different
4:22
big events in the big title games and, and what do they call
4:26
the, the big majors? Majors.
4:28
They're majors. Majors.
4:29
Majors. So we're getting to the Masters
4:32
a little bit later in the show. Tennis again, This is really the
4:36
start of the tennis season. It's, it's like a couple of
4:39
weeks away. And, and as the big, the big
4:42
majors come around Wimbledon, which is in the summer, the US
4:45
Open. So well, we, we will get into
4:47
that as we move forward for the rest of the, the summertime.
4:52
But anyways, Michigan wins the national championship.
4:55
Michigan beat UConn 609063 to wing to win their first national
5:01
championship since 1989. Michigan won despite shooting
5:05
just two for 15 from three, including zero for their first
5:10
eight shots. Despite their woes from three,
5:14
Boy oh boy where they was. Michigan was brilliant at the at
5:17
the free throw line, making 25 of 28 attempts.
5:21
Both Terrace Reed and Alex Caraban finished with double
5:26
double S for U Conn, but both solo ball and Braille and
5:31
Mullins struggled shooting, especially with threes.
5:34
Elliot Cadeau LED Michigan with 19 points in the game and was
5:39
named the NCAA Tournaments Most Outstanding Player.
5:42
Dusty May won his first national championship in his second year
5:47
as the Michigan head coach, tied with former UConn head coach
5:51
Kevin Ollie for the second fastest ever to win a title.
5:55
The only one that was faster was Steve Fisher, who won and as an
6:00
interim coach for Michigan in 1989, the Wolverines only other
6:05
basketball championship until that.
6:07
This year Michigan was not hitting threes.
6:09
They were not shooting the ball very well.
6:11
But UConn is not an offensive team.
6:13
The problem going into the tournament was the questions.
6:16
Can U Conn put enough points up against elite defensive teams?
6:21
Elite teams if they expect to win a championship, But through
6:25
through the tournament they play very well offensively.
6:28
They had unlikely sources coming from offensive, offensive
6:32
sources coming from Taris Reid. Taris Reid throughout the season
6:36
wasn't a high scoring player. You would expected Braylon
6:39
Mullins was going to be that lead scorer for them or Caravan,
6:43
who's been on this team for three years and he's he's been a
6:47
national champion. You would have expected that a
6:50
lot of these players were going to show up in the big game.
6:53
And Michigan, they practically gave them every single chance to
6:58
come back in the game and win the game.
6:59
They they gave them so many opportunities to come back in
7:02
the game. It's just UConn could not hit a
7:04
shot. They could not hit a shot, and I
7:07
expected this. I did expect this.
7:09
I had UConn winning the game because I thought they were
7:11
going to keep it at a low scoring game and they did, 69 to
7:15
63. Michigan has been an
7:17
electrifying offensive team throughout the tournaments.
7:21
They're a great offensive team. Look what they did against
7:23
Arizona, another good offensive team.
7:25
They put up big points, a lot of points, and I expected this
7:29
game, if UCOM was going to win, to keep it a very low scoring
7:32
game, and they did. 69 and 63 is not a high scoring game for a
7:37
national championship. And Michigan, who has been as
7:41
good as anybody in this tournament shooting the three,
7:44
couldn't elect 2 for 15. When you see those kind of
7:48
numbers going into the second-half, you would think,
7:50
and UConn, if I'm not mistaken, was only down by four or five
7:55
points going into the second-half of the game.
7:58
That to me gave UConn an opportunity to come back and win
8:02
the game and I I trust Danny Hurley.
8:05
I don't know if anybody heard the story that Danny Hurley
8:08
during the half had his wife run home or run back to the, the
8:13
hotel room because he left his lucky bracelet and she ran back
8:18
and gave him back his lucky bracelet because he won national
8:21
championships, 2 national championships with that lucky
8:24
bracelet. And throughout this tournament
8:27
he has, he's worn that lucky bracelet.
8:30
Now I don't believe in things and like, I, I guess you could
8:34
say monarchs and, and lucky coins and lucky bowls and lucky
8:41
whatever. I don't believe in that.
8:43
But Danny Hurley to me is a specific coach.
8:47
He he plays a game. He plays the game at such a high
8:51
level as a head coach, he understands the game at such a
8:53
high level. And you look at this game and,
8:55
and again, they've got Michigan's got players that are
8:59
going to be NBA players a day. Mara is going to be an NBA
9:04
player. Did he have a great game?
9:05
No, but throughout the tournament he's been very, very
9:07
good. He will be a good backup
9:10
defensive center in the NBAI could see the Knicks drafting
9:14
him in the second round. I could see him a late first
9:17
round draft pick. Yaxel Lenenburg, this guy a lot
9:21
of people believe is a top 20 pick now he can shoot the ball.
9:24
He's got some size. I think he's a little undersized
9:27
for his position, but this is a guy that can do everything well
9:32
defensively, offensively. And again, Michigan to me going
9:36
into this tournament, besides, I would say two other teams was
9:41
the best all around team going into the tournament.
9:45
Duke was one of them, which we all know what happened before
9:49
the tournament. They lost two big players.
9:51
One of them came back during the tournament, didn't really help
9:54
them, but they they're to me, when you look at I'm I'm again,
9:59
we all know what I think about John Shire.
10:01
I don't think John Shire is Danny Hurley, but their team,
10:04
they're all around team. They were very good offensively
10:07
throughout the season and very good defensively.
10:10
I look at Michigan, the this was the best all around team going
10:14
into the tournament. The questions was with Michigan
10:17
is could they could they do this consistently throughout the
10:20
tournament And the bracket they were in was probably the easiest
10:24
bracket. You can argue they had the
10:27
easiest bracket from UConn, who was playing in that E bracket.
10:31
When you look at Duke, you look at St.
10:33
John's, there are a lot of good teams over there.
10:37
And the Houston bracket I thought was very easy too.
10:39
I, I thought that was a interesting bracket.
10:41
Illinois came out of that bracket, and that's probably why
10:44
Illinois came out of that bracket, because once Florida
10:47
got eliminated, I think it was smooth sailing.
10:50
There was nobody in that bracket besides Houston that I thought
10:53
was going to come out and and play in the Final Four.
10:56
But Houston choked. And then you look at Michigan,
11:01
they had to go through a good team.
11:02
Arizona, I know Fish, I know Q. They had a love fest for this
11:06
Arizona team. The Wildcats.
11:08
They're they're they're good offensive team, had problems
11:11
shooting the three throughout the tournament, had problems
11:13
shooting the three throughout the season.
11:15
This is not one of the better shooting teams in the
11:17
tournament. So that's where the advantage
11:20
was for Michigan getting into the Final Four.
11:23
They were the best shooting team going into the Final Four out of
11:27
all four teams and U Conn was probably the weakest offensively
11:33
out of all four teams. And, and if U Conn had a chance
11:37
to win this game, they did what they needed to do defensively,
11:40
but they needed to put up points.
11:41
They needed to score. And I said it on the show a
11:44
couple of weeks ago, if they're going to win a national
11:47
championship, and I predicted the national championship final
11:50
score, it was me, Purdue and U Conn.
11:55
I expected the game to be at the least, if UConn was going to win
11:58
the game, they were going to win 7874.
12:01
I had Perdue beating UConn, 7673.
12:06
I had to put up some points. And this game was really a lack
12:11
of offense. It was two teams that really
12:14
played back and forth basketball.
12:16
They defended, they rebounded. But at the tail end of the game,
12:20
UConn could not find the hole. They could not find it.
12:24
They were trying to drive the ball.
12:25
They made some mistakes in the fourth quarter that kept them
12:28
away from even catching up the Michigan or making even close in
12:33
with Michigan's. Because really, the last five
12:35
minutes of the game, Michigan was up by like 8 or 9 points.
12:39
They were chasing. UConn was chasing all through
12:42
the second-half, something that UConn was not doing throughout
12:45
the tournament. When they fell behind against
12:47
Duke, what did they do? They slowly but surely chased in
12:51
the second-half, cut it down eight points, cut it down to 765
12:55
points. That's what UConn does.
12:58
They keep the game close. They play team defense and then
13:01
they have guys, they have shooters like Braylon Mullins.
13:04
They got guys like Terrace Reed who's played very well on the
13:07
boards, can get into the paint and draw fouls, could free throw
13:10
shooter. That's what UConn does so very
13:13
well. But against Michigan, Michigan
13:17
gave them every single reason to win this game.
13:20
And I, I honestly think Michigan had one of the worst final
13:25
games, championship games, I've ever seen a championship team
13:29
win. Think about it.
13:32
You watch a championship team dominate throughout the bracket,
13:35
they were dominating scoring. They were beating teams by 2030
13:40
points. And against a UConn team that
13:44
couldn't shoot, couldn't do anything offensively, they beat
13:48
them by 6 points because UConn didn't get, didn't take the
13:52
chances they had in the second-half of the game, even
13:55
when Danny Hurley was calling timeouts.
13:57
And he did it so very well with the last 6-7 minutes of the
14:00
game. And then they hit a big
14:02
three-point shot. They cut it down to four with 2
14:04
1/2 minutes left of the game. And you thought, hey, Uconn's
14:08
going to figure it out. They're going to find a way.
14:09
Braylon Mullins. Mullins is going to hit a three
14:12
or they're going to get a 2. And they're going to get they're
14:14
going to get fouled and they got a free throw.
14:16
And they're going to be cutting it down to one point.
14:18
And it's going to be really a final shot of the game.
14:20
Who's going to hit the final shot of the game?
14:22
Who's going to make the big defensive play?
14:23
And it wasn't like that. It was really after that shot
14:29
they hit and they cut it down to four points with 2 1/2 minutes
14:32
left of the game. UConn couldn't do anything else.
14:35
They couldn't do anything and that to me was the reason why
14:40
Michigan won a national championship.
14:42
Now I got to give a shout out to shout out to Dustin May.
14:44
Dustin May has proven himself. He took over this team and a
14:48
Michigan team over the last couple of years, really the last
14:51
10 years, trying to find a coach, trying to guy find a guy
14:55
that was going to take over for this team and and eventually
14:57
prominently take them to a national championship.
15:00
They haven't done since 2018. They lost in 2018.
15:04
This this is a great basketball program.
15:07
They are always known for their basketball and their football.
15:12
They have world renowned teams. You think about Michigan, the
15:15
Wolverines, the Fab 5, we all remember them.
15:18
They failed because Chris Webber decides at the tail end of the
15:21
game to call a timeout when they had no timeouts left.
15:24
That cost, I believe, Michigan a national championship and and
15:28
that was in the 90s. Think about that.
15:30
They haven't won a championship since 89 and they've had a lot
15:33
of good teams. A lot of good players just come
15:34
out of Michigan, NBA players that were successful in the NBA
15:39
but could never get over the hump.
15:40
You think about this, UConn, for all the talent that they have,
15:44
all the championships that they have won over the years, could
15:47
you name more than three players that became decent NBA talents?
15:52
Well, I remember 1 and he played for the next.
15:54
You know what I'm talking about, speedy point guard Kemba Walker.
15:57
Kemba Walker, he was the only one that I can really NIT pick
16:03
from. All the teams, all the national
16:04
championship, all those great UConn teams that ever became a
16:09
superstar player in the NBA. Everybody else, Okafor remember
16:16
him center, everybody thought this guy was going to be.
16:19
He was a top five talent, drafted in a top five.
16:21
He didn't make much of anything in the NBA.
16:25
Went to the Bobcats, it was just tough and the Bobcats doesn't
16:27
matter when he would have. Went great.
16:29
He had no NBA. His NBA game was not going to
16:32
fit. His game was more of a college
16:36
game. He was a good rebounder, liked
16:38
to get into the paint and draw a foul.
16:40
She was a decent free throw shooter.
16:42
That doesn't work in the NBA. And even when he was drafted,
16:46
when he went to the Bobcats, he had No 3 point talents.
16:49
He couldn't shoot anything further than a 1514 foot jumper.
16:53
That wasn't in time. That wasn't in style back then.
16:57
Hold on. Before you go any further, you
16:58
think Kemba Walker was a superstar in the NBA?
17:01
Yes, he was. Yes, he was.
17:03
Because he played for the Knicks or.
17:05
No, not with the Knicks. With the with Charlotte.
17:08
He was a superstar player who's one of the better point guards
17:10
in Eastern Conference. He was.
17:13
He really was. And, and you look at the All
17:15
Star games and, and honestly, the Eastern Conference had a ton
17:18
of great point guards. So that's probably why Walker
17:22
never really was consistent in the All Star game.
17:25
But again, All Star games is, is voted by the the fans.
17:29
It's not even voted by the players.
17:30
It's not voted by the GM's or the the coaches.
17:34
It's not. It's voted by the fans and then
17:37
they pick. Then the coach that wins the
17:39
championship the year before gets to coach the team and he
17:42
picks his roster and how he wants to set up his roster.
17:46
But Walker was a superstar player.
17:49
You look at all those teams and all those championship
17:52
contending teams, none of those guys really became NBA players,
17:55
talented NBA players. So, but Michigan, you go back
17:59
and you look at some of the guys that came from Michigan, a lot
18:02
of those guys when they made it to the NBA were great players,
18:06
good players, Maybe not all of them superstars, but good
18:09
players. Hardaway Junior.
18:14
Michigan did produce a superstar, but Kimball Walker
18:17
was a superstar. What do you I didn't.
18:19
You don't think Chris Webber was a superstar?
18:21
That's not what I'm talking about.
18:22
You're, you're, you're, I'm not saying that you're not listening
18:25
to me here. You're listen to what I'm
18:26
saying. Michigan has had a lot of great
18:30
players come from their program, some superstars, some not, but
18:34
they were better. And if you look at the talent in
18:37
the past, they you, when you look at UConn and all the
18:40
achievements that UConn has made over the years, going to
18:44
national championships, Final Fours, If you look at the talent
18:48
that's gone to the NBA, I would say I can only nitpick maybe one
18:52
or two guys that had long careers in the NBA in Michigan.
18:57
There have been guys that have come out of Michigan and have
19:00
been successful, played 1415 years in the NBA, partially Hall
19:04
of Farmers. But again, when I look at this
19:07
Michigan team, am I going to tell you right now that at least
19:11
one or two of these guys are going to be NBA superstars?
19:14
I don't know. Now we we have to see their
19:16
development. A lot of people think Lindenborg
19:20
is their best player. I, I don't know, because his, a
19:24
lot of people say his frame is not what you call what you look
19:28
for as a, a forward, a power forward slash small forward,
19:31
wherever they position him or wherever they decide to put him
19:35
in the NBA. And, and again, they're they're
19:37
kind of questioning where he's going to be drafted.
19:39
He's going to be drafted in the teens.
19:41
He's definitely not a lottery pick.
19:44
I, I can't see Linda Borg being a lottery pick.
19:46
He's probably more of a 14th. I mean late lottery pick.
19:50
If anything, probably 1617 type of pick.
19:53
I've heard I've seen on a couple of draft boards Charlotte likes
19:56
him. So maybe the Charlotte, the
19:58
Charlotte Hornets decide to draft him.
20:01
I think they draft at 17 or 18. Maybe that's where that's the
20:04
route they go. I I don't know.
20:06
But I look at this team, this roster, a Dame, Morrow, who a
20:09
lot of people like that could be a decent NBA player.
20:12
They're saying he's a late first round, early second round pick.
20:17
The only guy. And here's the thing, Yukon,
20:20
everybody likes this Braylon Mullins.
20:22
But here's the thing that I would say about Braylon Mullins.
20:24
I do not think he should go to the NBA this year.
20:29
I think he should play another year at college basketball and
20:32
figure who he is and and let him develop his body.
20:35
I don't think his body is fit right now for the NBAI don't.
20:38
And if he rushes into the NBAI don't know how good he's going
20:41
to be. He's going to be a secondary
20:42
player. Look what's happened.
20:44
Look at all the Portland Trailblazer players.
20:46
We were just talking about it. Scoot Henderson, this guy was a
20:50
top three, top four pick by Portland and I thought he was
20:54
going to be a good player in the NBA.
20:56
His development has been horrible.
20:58
He goes to the G League and he keeps coming back from the G
21:01
League to the NBA, the G League to the NBA and there's no
21:04
Chauncey pull ups, but I don't think that's a big deal.
21:06
I really don't. It's called development and and
21:10
and his. Development coach got to be
21:11
there. The coach doesn't help this guy
21:13
shoot 303 pointers every single week when he's supposed to
21:17
practice and put himself out there if he knows he has a
21:20
weaknesses in his game. You're going to go out there and
21:22
you're going to practice. That's what you do.
21:24
And, and to me, Scoot Henderson, who a lot of people thought he
21:28
had an NBA 3 point shot, has a great inside game and this guy's
21:32
going to develop, develop his skills.
21:34
He hasn't developed his skills. As a matter of fact, I think
21:38
Scoot is one of the worst top five picks the NBA has seen in
21:42
the last 20 years. He's been really, really bad.
21:45
What's he averaging right now for Portland?
21:48
17 and like inefficient shooting.
21:51
I'm I'm telling you, he's not a. Very good player.
21:53
That's good. That's pretty.
21:54
Good. No, it's not, No.
21:56
It's 17 points in the NBA right now.
21:57
It's not he's. 14 shots. He's shooting 2526 shots a game.
22:01
14.4 actually. 14 actually. He's not a good player.
22:06
He's not a good player. He's really not.
22:08
When you're a top five player and you're you had the number
22:11
two pick, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah.
22:13
He's shooting 41.4%. That's not good.
22:16
No, I'm not. He's a, he's a what?
22:19
Is he working second? Wasn't that weapon Yamas draft?
22:21
Yes, it was. I think he was third and Brandon
22:23
Miller was the Hornets pick, was the second kid from Alabama that
22:26
got into that legal trouble during the tournament with all
22:28
the guns. I think he was second and Scoot
22:30
was third. And like you said, Scoot's been
22:32
demoted I think 6 different times already in this is now
22:35
year, year three in the NBA. And that's not a guy you trust
22:41
to build your team around. What I'm saying here, isn't it?
22:43
I'm not making, I'm not cracking.
22:45
Jokes on Scoot Anderson, I I understand he could develop.
22:49
He's what, 2324? He could be eventually.
22:52
He could develop his skills later in his career.
22:54
We've seen players get better in the later parts of their career.
22:57
Maybe he gets traded. Maybe Portland isn't the team.
23:00
Maybe that isn't the roster he's going to develop his skills on.
23:03
All I'm saying is we have watched guys get drafted.
23:06
Markel's faults, remember him faults, was the what, number
23:10
one, number two pick he was drafted by, if I'm not mistaken,
23:13
the 76ers. Right.
23:15
Yep. We talked about it with Dan
23:16
Purcell. That was the whole Jaylen Brown
23:18
trade because he was too slow with the with the calf walking
23:21
or. Whatever.
23:22
And look how bad he was. He's been a journeyman.
23:24
I don't even know if he's in the NBA anymore.
23:26
The last time I remember he was in the G League.
23:28
Maybe he's playing in China. We seen a lot of NBA players
23:31
jump ship and go and play in different countries.
23:34
Why I'm saying this is when I look at Michigan's roster, none
23:38
of these guys pop out as NBA superstars.
23:43
None of them. Now does that mean that they
23:45
shouldn't be an elite team in in college basketball?
23:49
No, because college basketball is run by team basketball.
23:53
Team defense, team offense, how you run the zone.
23:56
You play man to man. And that's something that
23:58
Michigan has done very well all season long.
24:00
They only lost three games and throughout the tournament they
24:03
completely dominated in every single game besides this one.
24:07
Think about it, the one game they didn't show up to was a
24:11
national championship game. That's the truth.
24:14
If you look at if you're if you're a Michigan fan and I know
24:17
there's a couple of guys that are probably listening to the
24:20
show right now, Carl being one of them, you can see that roster
24:26
from top to bottom. Aren't is it a roster that
24:29
sticks out to you that says, Oh my God, they can probably beat
24:34
the Duke Blue Devils in the 90s or beat some of these top
24:37
national championship teams because honest to God, if they
24:40
play like that, they're not going to win.
24:42
That was a really, really bad game for a national
24:45
championship. We've seen most national
24:47
championship games have always come down to the wire.
24:50
Even when Yukon and I against Purdue a couple of years ago,
24:55
that was a very close game that really came down to the wire.
24:58
UConn was the better team. A lot of people had UConn
25:01
winning the national championship.
25:02
Purdue had such a great run. They had one of the best big men
25:07
in the in the country, if not the best big man in the whole
25:09
tournament. He was probably the best player
25:11
in the tournament. And then he walked into a jigsaw
25:15
puzzle in and UConn. And Danny Hurley is very hard to
25:18
read as a head coach because he plays a lot of pressure defense.
25:22
That's what he does. He presses up, up top.
25:25
He wants you to, he, he wants you to, he wants to force you to
25:27
get into the pain. He wants you to force you to
25:29
take shots where you're uncomfortable doing.
25:32
And, and, and that's, that's the power of great coaching.
25:35
If you want a point and you want a new point, something that
25:38
stands for college basketball and coaching, you put your
25:41
players in the best position to win, even if you're not the more
25:45
talented team. And that's what Danny Hurley
25:47
does so very well. When you talk about Coach K,
25:50
Coach K's teams, his national championship, championship
25:52
teams, he's always had good recruiting classes.
25:55
But what made Coach K1 of the more dominant coaches in NCAA
25:59
history was the way he called his defense.
26:03
That's what he did. Duke, who's more known for their
26:06
defense, not their offense. From all the great teams that
26:09
Duke and, and and Coach K has had over the years, Even Shire.
26:13
Shire gets better talent now than Duke ever did in the 90s.
26:18
Christian Leitner, when, when he was, when he was brought, when
26:21
he was recruited, Christian Leitner wasn't the, he was a
26:24
good high school talent. He wasn't the best.
26:27
Bobby Early was probably the most talented out of all the
26:31
guys that wanted to. Grant Hill was a good player in
26:33
high school. Was he was he a top three
26:35
recruit? I don't think Grant Hill was.
26:37
I think he was a top 10 recruit. So now you look at Duke and look
26:41
at the talent that they bring in.
26:43
They're all #1 recruits #2 recruits #3 recruits.
26:47
Cam and Kaden, these guys were top recruits in the country.
26:51
Why I'm saying this is you look at UConn, besides Braylon
26:56
Mullins, who a lot of people thought was a high recruit, none
26:59
of these guys in Terrace Reed, he was in a top 10 recruit.
27:03
Alex Caraban he was He wasn't a top 10.
27:06
Recruit. No, he's a fifth year senior.
27:08
Yeah, half of these guys weren't top recruits.
27:11
Some of them came from the portal.
27:13
That has something to do with coaching Michigan, these guys.
27:17
Lenenborg was a top recruit. He was a good recruit a day.
27:22
Mara was a good recruit. These guys were top recruits.
27:26
Eliot Cadeau, this guy was been one of the best guards in the
27:29
nation this year. He was a top recruit.
27:31
All these guys were top recruits going into this game.
27:35
When you look at talent versus talent, you would think
27:38
Michigan's going to blow Yukon out of the water.
27:41
What they did against Arizona was very impressive.
27:45
Arizona has possibly 2, maybe even three guys that are going
27:48
to be drafted in the top 23. Bradley Buries, Coopete.
27:53
Those three of those guys, Coopete could be drafted in the
27:56
late first round, but all of three of those guys are going to
27:59
be first round talents. All three of them.
28:01
Think about that. And Michigan ran over that team,
28:04
ran over them. It wasn't even close.
28:07
And that says a lot when you watch this national championship
28:10
game and we go back and forth, we look at it's just bad
28:13
basketball. The first half was just really,
28:15
really bad. It was not something fun to
28:17
watch. You want to say it was a lot of
28:19
defense in the game. I don't know if it was that.
28:22
It was just two teams that couldn't hit a shot and, and to
28:25
me that's been a problem throughout this tournament.
28:28
The free throws, even though both teams shot the free throws
28:30
pretty well in this game, everything else was bad.
28:34
Shooting the three, shooting 1817 foot jumpers, shooting
28:38
layups. How many layups did we see
28:40
missed? I saw a dunk being missed in the
28:43
first half of the game. It was just a horribly played
28:46
game. Yeah, it's, I think something
28:48
where the quality of play that you saw from Yukon's two stars
28:52
in the previous rest of the tournament were not there.
28:54
Like even Reed, even though we got 14 rebounds in the game,
28:56
some of those possessions he was extending did not turn into good
29:00
shots or he tried to put them back and Michigan made him take
29:03
uncomfortable shots. And that was what I was
29:04
mentioning on Monday. Where Michigan, who knows Dusty
29:07
May knows him being he was there the previous two years, is that
29:11
they had a game plan for him to make him uncomfortable.
29:14
Caravan did well, he was due to have a good game after having
29:16
some rough games in the tournament.
29:17
But again, those are really the only two you could get offensive
29:19
production wise, which is hard for UConn because Michigan has a
29:22
big size advantage. And Dan Hurley, you got to give
29:24
him the credit though. He I was texting with Carl after
29:27
the game. Carl or big Michigan fan, they
29:29
played a Big 10 style of physicality with a team that
29:32
outside of Taras Reid does not have a lot of size and Yukon's
29:35
defense deserves a lot of credit for that making that work.
29:37
Michigan, I was saying I think messed up a lot in the first
29:40
half where they were shooting too many threes and yet still
29:42
kept trying to do it when they were actually getting all these
29:45
free throws. And we talked about it last
29:47
month with the concrete jungle carousel with Dan Hurley yapping
29:50
at his players for taking way too many fouls.
29:52
And that was a big issue in the first half of that game.
29:54
But Michigan, I don't think got enough free throw opportunities
29:56
later or getting those and one opportunities to really put the
30:00
pedal on the gas. It was 33 to 29, a very ugly
30:03
first half at halftime. And that kind of thing left the
30:06
game in Uconn's favor for a little while because of the way
30:08
Dan Hurley was coaching. And the defense for UConn
30:11
deserves a lot of credit inside and outside for that not making
30:14
it easy. The problem is they just don't
30:16
have enough size. They don't have enough secondary
30:18
scoring if Mullins is off. Mullins was hitting some really
30:21
tough shots against Illinois the round before that.
30:23
It's not like UConn played an overly complete game against
30:26
Illinois, but Mullins still hit those shots.
30:27
Those are the shots you need those NBA prospect types to make
30:31
and that was a difference in that kind of game.
30:33
But everything you were describing before Errol was the
30:35
epitome of what does not win in college basketball anymore,
30:37
which are these flashy draft prospect type teams outside of
30:41
Stefan Castle with UConn in 2024.
30:44
Like there's not a lot of these teams that have these big name
30:46
draft prospects on these national championship teams that
30:49
you were talking about it. Lindenberg is probably maybe a
30:51
mid first round pick at best because he's a six foot eight,
30:54
240 LB guy that plays like a guard.
30:58
You don't know how that's going to translate.
30:59
He's not big enough to be an ML4 or five in the NBA.
31:02
That's their best player and he was playing hurt.
31:04
Meanwhile, you're also looking at a guy like Mara that's 7 foot
31:07
three. He's big, he's good at bench
31:08
center, but he's slow. He's slow for the NBA game.
31:11
So the problem is that's not going to work in the NBA.
31:14
However, in college basketball, you get that great fusion of
31:16
everything together and This is why I like the process that
31:18
Michigan had. It was a lot of transfers, it
31:20
was a lot of senior transfers and it was a very similar
31:24
process to what Florida did last year.
31:25
That is the new wave of college basketball.
31:27
It's not as much of these freshman driven teams.
31:29
Congratulations to Michigan and. The Wolverines for beating
31:32
UConn. We know how much of a fan Arrow
31:34
is of Dan and the UConn Huskies. But yeah, I think there was
31:38
outside like Speedy, like you said, I think there was
31:40
outsides. And I think they used that high
31:44
pick and roll 1 and then that high low where they was using
31:47
the two big men. And then it was basically a 2
31:49
versus one with Marvin Johnson versus Reed.
31:51
So UConn didn't have nothing to do.
31:53
And I think UConn was tired. You know, at first I thought
31:56
Michigan was nervous. There's a big stage, there's a
31:58
lot on the line. And then I thought UConn was
32:00
just tired. Like they when you go back and
32:03
look what they did with Duke, how that game went and it's
32:06
progressed throughout the tournament, I don't think they
32:08
had nothing left. And the tournament is all about
32:10
whether or not you're going to make shots.
32:12
And in the beginning, nobody could make shots.
32:13
And I think the difference maker was that Michigan could run with
32:17
them. Michigan was playing physical
32:18
with them. And overall they just wear it,
32:20
wear them warm down. And they they didn't have an
32:22
answer because they couldn't hit shots.
32:25
So I I totally agree. And I think those guys was was
32:29
the better team. And like you said, that was
32:31
keeping them in the game, but it just wasn't enough because
32:33
they're the size difference. Qi, want to mention something to
32:35
you? We were.
32:36
Talking about like the North Carolina coaching candidates and
32:38
you said you wanted a younger guy too at the time before you.
32:41
We talked about Malone on Monday and you were seeing that kind of
32:44
formula be the wave of it now a big school that has enough
32:47
reputation with the NIL money like Michigan does with a
32:50
younger coach that has done well with obviously FAU took a took
32:54
of the Final Four. You look at Florida last year
32:55
with Todd Golden doing well previously at University of San
32:58
Francisco with a few tournament appearances in a small
33:00
conference. Like that's the formula now that
33:02
you're seeing in today's game. And a lot of transfers and a lot
33:04
of senior transfers, I think are the big key.
33:06
And now I think you're going to see a lot of these other teams
33:08
adopted that same kind of formula.
33:10
Yeah, the trend is definitely. Headed towards more seasoned
33:13
older guys and getting creating the system and something built
33:18
around that established senior junior those type of pedigree
33:22
guys like I don't think I think the athletic you know super
33:26
athlete and young kid. It's it's important, but I I
33:30
just think that wave is over in regards to needing that for to
33:33
win the championship. I also think that when.
33:36
When you watched a national championship, you want to see a
33:39
high scoring game. You don't want to see an all
33:41
around defensive game. Even when you watched the Super
33:44
Bowl this year, it was complete domination by Seattle.
33:47
Seattle completely ran all over the Patriots, which everybody
33:50
predicted because the Patriots shouldn't have been there.
33:53
It was just really the just the weakness of the AFC and dealing
33:57
with the Broncos, the Broncos losing Bo Knicks early in the
34:02
playoffs and then going to a national, going to an AFC title
34:05
game with a third string quarterback.
34:08
So that that's the problem. You want to see competition.
34:10
You want to see games that are going to be like the Arizona.
34:14
That's what I wanted to see. What what happened to Arizona
34:17
and Michigan, a high scoring game, back and forth offense
34:20
really Michigan blew him out, but Arizona made a comeback.
34:24
They were trying to come back in the game if it was something
34:26
like that, and it was scored maybe 100, a hundred more, 105
34:30
points by both teams, which usually national championships
34:33
don't go over more than 80 points.
34:34
Usually it doesn't go any more than that, but it was just, to
34:38
me, it was one of those games that wasn't fun to watch.
34:42
It was boring. We were watching the final 567
34:45
minutes of the game at Applebee's and everybody was
34:48
like, oh, and ah, because nobody can hit a shot.
34:51
Nobody can hit a shot. Every time we saw some kind of
34:53
points go on the board, it was free throws.
34:55
That's what we were seeing with the last 7 minutes of the game.
34:58
And then like I said, when Yukon cut it down to four, everybody
35:03
was like, oh, Yukon has a chance.
35:04
There's 4 minutes or I think 2 1/2 or 3 minutes left of the
35:07
game. Yukon has a chance.
35:09
We saw this against Duke. They're going to make a comeback
35:11
and they just couldn't because every time they they cut the cut
35:16
it down, Michigan then would hit an easy layup or go to the free
35:19
throw line, hit two and then Yukon would take it down and
35:23
then miss an easy layup or an easy shot.
35:25
And then Michigan would take it down and get fouled again and
35:27
they shoot two more free throws. It it was just bad basketball
35:32
and what you want to see in a national champ.
35:34
And I'm not blaming Michigan or Yukon for that.
35:36
It's just one of those bad shooting games.
35:39
It happens, but you didn't want to see this happen in a national
35:42
championship game. That's love, the defensive game.
35:46
It wasn't a defensive. Game it really wasn't.
35:48
It was seems not any shots. Bricklaying game.
35:53
Michigan had 90 points in every game until this last game.
35:57
They hit only two threes in this game.
36:00
Bro, it's just dead legs. They all had dead legs in this
36:03
tournament. They the offensive output that
36:06
they were going through. They just didn't have any legs
36:08
for the last game. Both teams, it was ugly.
36:11
It was a rock fight. It wasn't a really good game.
36:14
It was competitive as hell. It was a championship game.
36:17
But what's it called, you kind? Of had like 5 people in double
36:20
figures. They did.
36:21
They spread it. Around nobody got 20 oh so
36:24
because. Yukon and every single one of
36:26
their starting lineup had five guys that hit over 10 points.
36:30
That makes a big deal. That makes an offensive so so
36:33
you. Want a lot of shooting and a lot
36:35
of scoring? You don't care that there's
36:37
defensive or like it wasn't defense if.
36:40
You want, but the game was competitive.
36:41
Right. True or not, even if they're
36:43
missing like that, they would just let them shoot like or was
36:47
they actually competing. It was a little different for
36:49
both teams. I.
36:50
Think here 5 for 14 caravan. 4 for 12 for Reed.
36:56
I'm not going to mention solo ball was 4 for 10, Braille,
37:00
Braille and Mullins was 4 for 17.
37:02
I mean, if you go up and down there, it's just a horrible
37:04
shooting game. It was horrible bad game for.
37:08
Reed This is what we were worried about for him too.
37:11
It might really hurt his draft stock.
37:13
He could not handle Mara at all and they only had three guys.
37:16
That went to the line. Caravan, Reed and Ross.
37:20
Those are the only three guys that went to the free throw line
37:24
throughout the game. The whole game, those were the
37:26
only three guys. Mullins, Berlin.
37:28
Mullins didn't have one free throw.
37:30
Solo Ball didn't have one free throw.
37:33
Jalen Stewart didn't have. I'm sorry, no, he had no free
37:36
throws. I'm just looking at the numbers
37:38
right now. None of the other guys had any
37:40
free throw shots. But if you go to Michigan, let's
37:43
look at how many times Michigan was at the line.
37:45
All right, Lenenborg. He was 5.
37:48
For five, Johnson was 2 for 2. Elliot Caddo, he was 8 for 9,
37:56
Burnett was 4 for four. Trey McKinney was 4 for four,
38:01
Gayle right, Gayle 2 for four. I mean, practically their whole
38:05
roster went to the free throw line and they hit it.
38:08
They hit very well. They were they were very good at
38:11
the free throw line. The reason why they beat UConn
38:14
was because UConn found the hell out of them.
38:17
That's why if Yukon kept them from going to the free throw
38:21
line, Yukon wins the national championship.
38:24
That's the facts. Look at it wasn't fair if it.
38:27
Wasn't fair. You know what it was though
38:29
Like. Their whole game, the entire
38:31
tournament was get it to read inside and then he's going to
38:35
muscle his way and he's going to get the offensive rebounds, he's
38:37
going to get the every defensive rebound.
38:39
And then he was up against a guy who had five inches on him and
38:43
he couldn't, you know, take it to him.
38:45
So he was missing bunnies. He was, he wasn't even using the
38:47
backboard trying to get it over the guy.
38:49
And he was a shell of himself in this game.
38:52
Hit like 2 skyhooks in the beginning.
38:53
Of the game, it looked like he was getting comfortable and then
38:55
all of a sudden Michigan forced him to the side a lot.
38:59
You can't play that. You.
39:00
Can't play through them. You can't play through him for
39:02
three or four games and then expect for him to show up huge
39:05
in the championship game. He has somebody else to score.
39:07
The one thing that I've. Been saying has been a big
39:10
problem throughout the tournament and that shooting
39:12
free throws was the one reason why UConn lost the national
39:15
championship and UConn was not shooting free throws very good
39:19
throughout the tournament. They really weren't either was
39:22
Duke either was St. John's.
39:23
Every single every single team in the east side were not
39:26
shooting free throws very, very well and and on in the other
39:29
regions as well. But this was a poorly shooting
39:33
free throw championship or national tournament.
39:37
If you watch the tournament, nobody can hit free throws.
39:40
Nobody but you go into the national championship.
39:43
The one reason why Michigan won a national championship is
39:46
because they hit their free throws and UConn couldn't get to
39:49
the line. They could not draw fouls by
39:52
Michigan. That says a lot about the coach.
39:54
Now I'm not saying he out coached Danny Hurley, because I
39:58
am. How did he out coach Danny
39:59
Hurley? He stopped shooting threes and.
40:01
Went to a high low in the pick and roll.
40:02
That's to got his team. He got his players to get to the
40:05
free throw line. That's three.
40:06
I mean, I don't know how much, how much more you need for that.
40:09
That's three adjustments in in in one game that coaches usually
40:13
don't make and they they must have listened to her arrow marks
40:16
in regards to shooting free throws.
40:18
So they got to the freedom. Now.
40:19
Why don't you crown destiny, mate?
40:21
She Wanda, That's the trip show. Why wouldn't you crown him
40:23
arrow? Because he didn't out coach.
40:25
Danny Hurley, How did he this this team Michigan was maybe 3
40:30
Michigan. Michigan was the.
40:31
Best team going into this corner the they were the number one
40:34
seed. UConn, a lot of people
40:36
questioned that they shouldn't have been a number two seed.
40:38
Some people thought they were a four seed.
40:40
They were that much better than UConn all season long, all
40:44
season long. And you're going to tell me
40:46
UConn lost six games, This team lost three games and Michigan is
40:50
in a harder, We could say it. They're in a harder division.
40:52
They're in the harder, harder conference.
40:55
So and, and, and if you look at who Michigan had to beat all
40:58
season long to what Connecticut had to beat, it's not even
41:01
close. It's not even an argument.
41:03
The fact here is Danny Hurley should not have been in the
41:06
national championship game. He kept it close, but Michigan
41:10
kept them close. The only reason why Michigan let
41:15
this game stay close is because they couldn't hit a three-point
41:18
shot. None of them could.
41:20
They've been the best 3 pointed shoot shooting team in the
41:23
tournament. They were the best.
41:25
And then they go into the national championship and
41:27
they're 2 for 15 and you think that's great coaching?
41:30
No, they made an adjustment. Did it?
41:32
Not what? Who made an adjustment?
41:35
Destiny he's. Taking half, did he not?
41:38
Because they still were. Missing 3 point shots, they were
41:41
still what adjustment attack was.
41:44
It not high lows? Was it not picking roads?
41:46
Did they not get to the line? They can't sit here saying he
41:48
didn't adjust because they didn't hit 3 pointers.
41:51
Did you watch the rest of the game?
41:52
Yeah, I watched the whole second.
41:54
Half of the game and I don't know what you were watching
41:56
because if you were watching the game you would know threes the
41:59
whole second. Half, they shot a lot of threes
42:01
in the second. Half they just shoot threes, no?
42:03
Team shoots just. Threes in the halves.
42:06
So they made an adjustment. Oh, that's.
42:08
Not an adjustment. They still missed a lot of
42:10
threes, they still missed a lot of threes, that's all.
42:13
I'm asking, I'm not saying dusty.
42:15
May wasn't good, but to say that he out coached Danny Hurley is a
42:19
joke. That's not true.
42:20
That's not true and he won. He came out on top.
42:22
He didn't. He did not he.
42:24
Did it he? Came out, he decided.
42:27
To Pat Rodney, the game up from the 90s with the Knicks, like
42:30
he's like, I'm just we can't shoot.
42:32
Let's just go 90s, beat everybody up inside and see what
42:35
happens. Fish he only, they only.
42:38
Shot threes with Earl saw he saw the Hostess.
42:40
That's not what I'm saying. I don't.
42:42
Know what you're talking about? You're taking.
42:44
Words out of my mouth. I never said that.
42:46
I never said that. What I'm saying is you're saying
42:49
that Dustin May outcoach Danny Hurley, which he didn't.
42:53
He didn't outcoach. What are you talking about?
42:58
Danny Early is not telling these guys to foul.
43:01
He says what do you shoot the layup foul.
43:03
Yeah, that's what he's telling him to do.
43:06
That's not what he's saying. That's I am listening.
43:08
I don't know what you're talking about.
43:10
I was watching the players. I completely never gave them any
43:14
advice. You know what, we're not here at
43:18
3, so we're going to make the adjustments.
43:20
That's what you're saying. What adjustment you don't want?
43:22
To do, Justin made his props. What adjustment did they make?
43:26
We just told you. They got fouled, they got to the
43:28
line, they hit free throws, they attacked them.
43:31
They had a high low. They used post.
43:33
So you're telling me? You're telling me?
43:35
That was. His plan?
43:36
Go to the hole and get fouled bigger.
43:38
Yeah, that's one. Bigger.
43:39
That's not what happened. I'm saying that, but you're
43:41
saying that it's just the players.
43:43
That's not what happened. Because if you look at the
43:45
numbers, Connecticut was only outscored by two in the
43:48
second-half. So I don't know why how many
43:50
adjustments they made. They didn't make that many
43:52
adjustments. They were.
43:53
They were O for 9 from three in the first half so they didn't
43:56
take that many threes in the 2nd and they won.
43:59
And they won the paint battle 36 to 22 in the game.
44:02
That's why they won the game. They the paint battle was how
44:05
UConn was. But you're not I I agree with
44:07
you. They won the game coaching
44:08
thing. I.
44:09
Think it was just they were a better, better size.
44:11
They were better players, you know, they won the game because.
44:15
They were getting to the line and they hit their free throws
44:18
and UConn, even though and Michigan, they were not fouling
44:22
because a lot of the layups and a lot of what UConn was doing in
44:26
the second-half, they weren't. They were open shots.
44:29
They had many times that they can get to the hole.
44:31
They were missing easy layups, easy layups.
44:35
So if you watch the game, which I did in the second-half, Yukon
44:40
couldn't hit a lick. They couldn't even hit a 1760
44:43
foot jumper. How many 3 point shots did we
44:46
see in the second-half that Yukon missed?
44:49
Bro they went 20. 5 of 28 from the line.
44:52
Michigan. Yeah, no, I'm not losing.
44:55
You're not losing. If you go 2528 if you actually
44:57
hit the free throws. Which UConn couldn't hit the
45:00
free throws prior to this UConn, but all of a sudden if Michigan
45:04
would have fouled them, they would have been able to hit the
45:08
first of all. First of all, UConn did hit
45:11
their free throws. They were Caravan was 4 for six,
45:15
Reed was 5 for six and Jaden Ross was 3 for four.
45:20
They couldn't get to the line. They couldn't get to the because
45:24
they were forcing bad shots. A lot of these guys, Braylin and
45:28
again, everybody keeps saying this kid Braylin Mullins is
45:32
going to be a top pick. Some people think he could be a
45:34
top ten pick. Who knows?
45:36
But he did not play well. The one big shot he had against
45:39
Duke was the final shot of the game.
45:42
He wasn't. Great, he was horrible.
45:45
In the national championship, horrible.
45:48
And these guys are jumping. To go play an 82 game schedule
45:51
in the NBA and they can't get through the 3738 games here with
45:54
their legs. Look, it's tough, but you know
45:57
what I mean? Like they won't play.
45:58
As much obviously their first couple years in the league.
46:00
But you look you're right. Errol 12 of 16 from the line for
46:04
U Conn before we move on to the carousel, the Michigan 25 to
46:08
2889.3%. That's unheard of in college
46:11
basketball. That's 13 point advantage at the
46:14
line. They won by 6.
46:16
That's good coaching and they're coaching.
46:17
Making them shoot, that's not good coaching.
46:19
How? Do you hit that many free throws
46:21
and only win by 6? What do you mean that's not
46:23
good? That's.
46:24
Not it's not. I think it's a testament to how.
46:26
Good Danny Hurley is. I just think he had clearly the
46:29
inferior team and maybe the refs just whistle happy for what are
46:32
we talking the refs now? Well, look, whenever is that?
46:35
Kind of a discrepancy. You're going to say they called
46:38
it a little differently. Fish.
46:39
Fish is going to. Bring out his favorite clip of
46:41
Danny. Hurley, he's going to get the
46:42
refs from last year. I will say.
46:46
This I will say this. About dust in May, I will give
46:49
him credit. This is a guy that I will give
46:51
him credit. Let me speak for two years, two
46:54
years he's been there and he finally in his second year wins
46:57
a national championship. This is guy that's been, he's
47:00
been an incredible head coach in, in the NCAA.
47:03
He moved up in the rankings and he's finally got a big job and
47:06
now he's coaching Michigan. Michigan hasn't won a national
47:09
championship since 1989. A lot of people questioning
47:12
picking May out of all the guys you could have picked take over
47:15
the Michigan Wolverines basketball program.
47:18
There was a lot of, you know, back and forth banter on it that
47:21
look at all the talented coaches that were out there that could
47:24
have been brought back. I mean, I'm, I'm not, I don't
47:27
remember exactly who was available, but I'm, I'm pretty
47:30
sure there was at least three or four big names that were out
47:33
there when he when they decided to go in a you got to give him a
47:36
little bit of credit there because he took over a program
47:38
that has not been successful since 1989.
47:41
And in the 90s when they had the Fab 5 and everybody thought they
47:44
were going to win a national championship and they choked
47:46
because we know Chris Webber was stupid and everybody remembers
47:50
the whole run. Michigan's run to the national
47:53
to go to a national championship was left.
47:56
Everything was the site was was Chris Weber's calling the time
48:01
out when they had no time outs with one second left of the
48:04
game. So that's the truth.
48:06
Called him stupid because he didn't.
48:07
Know. Go ahead.
48:09
Coach, what did you what did you say before?
48:12
We get into the next segment. You know, the athletic director
48:15
of Michigan has been really embattled with the football
48:19
team. You talk about this choice for
48:21
Dusty May. What a move by this guy.
48:24
This just bought him another bunch of years because think
48:28
about it like it's amazing he didn't get fired with everything
48:30
that happened with the football team.
48:32
I also personally love him because he was the AD of my
48:34
college when I was there, SUNY Buffalo back in the day.
48:37
He's the only guy that brought us to he's the first guy to
48:39
bring us to the tournament. He's the first guy to get a
48:41
winning record for that football team and he recruited Khalil
48:44
Mack. And all I'll say is that guy is
48:48
really good and you're seeing it right now.
48:50
Maybe not morally 100 with the stuff that's gone over there,
48:55
but he clearly is good at his job.
48:57
I'm not. And again I'm.
48:59
Not taking shots in AI, just I, I don't know if he actually out
49:03
coached Danny Hurley. He didn't do that.
49:05
Danny Hurley had every bit of a chance to win this game and come
49:09
back and win this game. He just, his team couldn't hit a
49:12
lick. But that was going into the
49:13
tournament. The problem with UConn
49:15
throughout the season was they were hot and cold.
49:18
Offensive hot and cold. Why did St.
49:20
John's completely dominated in the second time they played him
49:23
this year? Why?
49:25
Because they couldn't hit a lick.
49:26
The first time they played St. John's, they hit every shot.
49:29
The second time they played St. John's, they couldn't hit
49:31
anything. So again, my argument here isn't
49:34
that I'm not giving both coaches a lot of credit, I'm giving them
49:38
both credit. I just thought that Danny
49:40
Hurley, if his team could have figured out how to hit a couple
49:44
of three-point shots or get to the line, they win the game or
49:47
keep keep Michigan off the line. So that's all I'm saying.
49:50
But we can't credit Dusty May. For getting his team cross the
49:53
line. I get into the line hitting the
49:55
free time. I am not.
49:56
You never gave him credit. You never gave him credit.
49:58
What do you? What do you say he got a
50:00
championship? Since 89 two kisses ass.
50:02
I'm not going to say go right back to dead Hurley after you.
50:06
He didn't get it because I'm telling you.
50:10
He could have won this game because.
50:12
If you would have got because I'm telling because.
50:14
I'm telling you because I'm telling you, Danny Early still
50:18
had a chance to win the game and that had something to do with
50:20
the way he called the game defensively.
50:23
That's what I'm saying. He did it.
50:24
He did it. He did Really, really.
50:28
He never did Michigan. Michigan was.
50:30
Forced to shoot bad threes, they won the game they.
50:33
Were shoot, they were making it. Up.
50:35
They were forced. To.
50:36
Shoot bad threes throughout the game.
50:38
They were, what are you talking, Danny Hurley, who made them
50:42
shoot the bad threes? The defense.
50:45
You know, they did play. Defense, thank you to all the
