• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Bradon, same question to you, what was the message at halftime?

• 3:09
  Speaker 10: no matter how much we was down by, it was
• 3:10
  Speaker 10: the same. You know, Coach Murph came in. You know,

• 3:19
  Speaker 10: and then you know we went out there. We just
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: couldn't get it done. You know, Michigan, they were making
• 3:24
  Speaker 10: a lot of shots. They played great, you know, and

• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Next question, second row center.
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: David Brady and with camp student Radio Brandon. The team
• 3:42
  Speaker 11: had fourteen turnovers below forty percent from the field. What
• 3:46
  Speaker 11: did Michigan do defensively to really aggravate the offense.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: They had a great defensive plan.
• 3:52
  Speaker 10: You know, they're pretty bigger, but I feel like most
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: of our shots was just like in and out, Like
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: it was in the in the rim and then out,
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: you know, and sometimes it's just not your day, and

• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Arizona locker rooms open until twelve thirty three. First question
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for coach Lloyd. We'll go up front on the right side.
• 7:39
  Speaker 13: Jornyaman does at USA today, Coach, A lot of people
• 7:42
  Speaker 13: had hype in this game as like almost like a
• 7:43
  Speaker 13: national championship, feel two heavyweights that we're going against each
• 7:46
  Speaker 13: other for a possible classic game. Seeing how the game
• 7:50
  Speaker 13: Michigan just came out took over from right off the bat,
• 7:53
  Speaker 13: do you feel like this game just said a lot
• 7:55
  Speaker 13: more about how strong and dominant Michigan is or do
• 7:58
  Speaker 13: you feel like it just wasn't your knight.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, Michigan gets all the credit today, you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: whether I mean it wasn't our night. Probably had to
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: do a lot with them and they were just impressive.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: They were impressive how they came out and executed their
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: game plan and you know, and and you know, we got,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you know, down a little bit. And we've been down
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: a few times this year, but not not like that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And we just probably got a little panicky and we
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: weren't able to settle back in and uh and they
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: get credit. I mean, that's why if you can get
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: off to a good start in games, you know, it's
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: usually pretty impactful.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And that definitely was the case today.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Run though White microphone were going left to Dan.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tommy, Dan walking down? Who supports you?
• 8:40
  Speaker 13: Your guys had played and won a lot of tough games,
• 8:43
  Speaker 13: down to the wire games.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: When you get to a final four, especially with a
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: team with so many young guys, you know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Does all that experience matter? Does it go out the window?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I mean I don't know, you know, I mean I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: don't think it was inexperiencing today. I mean, we had
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: we had a good couple of days of pre we
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: had a good shoot around today. I think we just
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: came out. We played a team that that was really
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: well built. They have a great coach, and they were
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: able to take control of the game.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: And then and then really, I mean.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: They were like surgical, you know at a point, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: so that that's hard to do. So so they get
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: a ton of credit. And like you said, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: we we we've had.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: A great year.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: And but if even if you're a great team and
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: you can't get in a rhythm, it's gonna be a
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: tough night.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And that's what we felt.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Tonight, Third Rowse Center. We're on the black microphone.
• 9:32
  Speaker 14: Hi, Audi do Us of CBS Sports Dusty said he
• 9:36
  Speaker 14: described your team as Gonzaga on steroids. Did you review
• 9:40
  Speaker 14: the Michigan Gonzaga game as a key part of your
• 9:42
  Speaker 14: prep and what does it say about Michigan that they
• 9:46
  Speaker 14: were able.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: To Yeah, for sure, I mean they we obviously we
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: looked at that and you know, they did that to
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a few other people, not just Gonzaga this year, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: this game could have went that way. You know this
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: obviously they they have they have the kryptonite right now,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: you know. So that's gonna be a fun thing for
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: me to try to figure out this offseason. You know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: they just did it a great job. And then their
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: their size really impacted the game. I felt that, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I see, they only have Mara down for two blocks.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: There's no way I could think of three that he tipped,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, just right up right off
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the top of my head. And uh, you know, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: think they're one of those teams, you know, I would say,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: like Houston's like that, or even like Iowa States like that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Teams you play, you have to play them a few times,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and after you kind of get used to playing them
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: a few times, you you get more comfortable. I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably why you saw more closer games
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in the Big Twelve and the Big Ten for them
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: towards the end, you know, because Team's probably got comfortable
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: playing him and had had a better plan. And uh,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean that's I wish we had another
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: crack at it, but we don't, and and so so
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: that they get a ton of credit and and and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: obviously you know that they're down to two teams left
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and they got to you know, they got a good
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: chance to win. But you know, listen, I don't think
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: anybody's gonna count you can out, you know. I mean,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: so so that's why when everybody was saying this is
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the National championship game, it's not the National Championship game,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Monday nights the National championship game, and you have to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: fight to get there. So so yeah, so credit to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Michigan a really impressive tonight.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Coach. We're going to the web side durd the back
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: gentleman from Westwood One, Josh Graham, Westwood won sports coach.
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: How do you measure the disappointment of tonight with what
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: your team achieved to get to this stage.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: It'll probably take a little time, you know, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: we we uh, you know, I knew we could do
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: this this year, you know, and and I and I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: thought we had a chance to win this four team tournament.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: But obviously Michigan had other thoughts today. So you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll get back home and take a breath.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But but I know myself, you know, you know, no
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: loss at the end of the season feels great, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I also think it can be a great learning tool.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: So you know, we're gonna, you know, take a breath,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you know, probably try to figure out what our roster
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: looks like next year. And like I've always said, in
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: this business, as a coach, you got to be tough
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: enough to take disappointment and show back up. And we're
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: going to show back up and you know, and we're
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: gonna try to do this again, but see if we can.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Do it a little bit better.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Coach on the right side in.
• 12:14
  Speaker 15: The back, Jason Sheer walkout authority. Would you reflect on Jaden,
• 12:21
  Speaker 15: Bradley and Toby and the seniors? Obviously this is a
• 12:24
  Speaker 15: tough way to go out, but what stands out just
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: about their careers in general what.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: They did for the program.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: They're just didn't They were just an incredible young men.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Uh not just really good basketbayers, just a great young men.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, we never had one issue with either one
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: of those guys. They they showed up every day, they played,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: when they were a little banged up.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They they put in the work. They were great teammates.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: You know, they did an amazing job of helping us
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: kind of continue to build, you know, our culture and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: kind of raise the standards of the program. So I'll
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: always be thankful for those guys. I mean, I wish
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: there was a fifth year of eligibility, you know, I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: don't know, I guess I saw there there was one,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: but who knows what will happen with that. But I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: wish I could coach those guys again because they're they're awesome,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: awesome young.

  Speaker 3: I mean thank you, I mean, you know, thank them
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: for everything. And obviously we're disappointed we weren't able to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: get over get it over the top for them. But
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I think we all saw what's possible again. And so
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: now let's all roll up our sleeves and support each
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: other and uh and and and see if we can
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: and make this a normal thing.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: You know that that would be awesome for me.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know, you know, you sit around and
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: you know you dream as a coach or you think
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you know, and in these narratives in the media, all
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: get created that you can't be in the big one
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and whatever you get upset in the tournament. Well, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I thought one day, I'm like, man, I can't wait
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: to we get to a final four because I knew
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: he would, But can't wait till we get there, just
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: so you know, I can maybe just coach and don't
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: have to worry about any of these your guys's narratives
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: or anything. But then the first thing that popped in
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: my head was like one final four, Why don't we
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: go five times in ten years?
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what my mind's at.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm going to do it day by day,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: but but that's my big dream. I mean, who knows,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe you guys will use me use that against
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: me saying that someday. But but I'm gonna dream big
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna work my ass off to try to
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: make it happen.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Goach, we'd love to have you. We're gonna do with
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: final closing up on the left.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Coach David Kelly, Wildcats Radio, twelve ninety What were they
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: doing in that first half to turn you guys over
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: the way they did? They just did a great job
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: being in the gaps. You know, they were kind of
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: mixing up there, you know, whether they're going over and
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: under ball screens, and our guys just we didn't do
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: a great job adjusting the level of.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Our screen and so we weren't getting the edge.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And then they you know, we got had a few
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: guys over penetrate, you know, and then uh and they
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: were you know that they're scrappy and they they're handsy
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and they got their hands on some balls, and uh,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: you know, I mean that was kind of the first thing.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: And then you know, I felt like there was you know,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: at least I don't know, four or five kind of
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: rebound situations you know at our end when we were
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: on defense that you know, we had the ball or
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: could have had the ball and we just kind of
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: didn't secure it. And you know, that's tough when that
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: happens right in front of the rim, you know, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: they pick it up and lay it in. So, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: just the combination of those two things got them off
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: to a really good start.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And then you know, Dusty's a really good coach.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Once they getting a good start, he kind of really
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: knows how to control the game. And and and you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: when you're controlling the game and you're running your actions
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: and you're getting some open shots or semi open shots
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: and you knock them down, it makes it really tough
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: to come back.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And then that's what they were able to do.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: We wanted to thank coach Lloyd for joining us and
• 15:55
