- 0:26Speaker 4: If you have a DVR. Seriously, if you have a
- 0:28Speaker 4: DVR and you don't like the announcers on TV, because
- 0:31Speaker 4: god knows, I see it all the time on social media.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Oh, the announcers are terrible. Put them AI on. It's
- 0:35Speaker 1: not easy. You get the home.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Broadcast, you know everything's going on, you get detail. It's

- 0:48Speaker 4: All the games on the radio, so give it, tune
- 0:51Speaker 4: in and it's not the same anymore.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Without s n Y for TV.
- 0:55Speaker 4: You don't get the coverage that they gave or we
- 0:58Speaker 4: give you pre and postgame, get him every game, you
- 1:00Speaker 4: get the opposing coach. Although I'm going to miss Jose.
- 1:03Speaker 4: That's gonna be different going now us SEF without Jose.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Although I did see him at the Ohio State game.
- 1:08Speaker 1: It was great to see him.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Yeah, he was here for a couple of days at
- 1:11Speaker 2: my house and you know, just to get caught up
- 1:14Speaker 2: on a bunch of things and and Page, you know,
- 1:18Speaker 2: we did talk a little bit about that. And now
- 1:21Speaker 2: they just got the first pick in the lottery. So
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't know what they're going to do. I don't
- 1:26Speaker 2: know who they're going to take, you know, and everybody goes, oh,
- 1:28Speaker 2: take a'sy, take Asy, take Asy. That might not be
- 1:31Speaker 2: what they need, you know, so they're gonna have to
- 1:33Speaker 2: figure that one out.
- 1:35Speaker 1: There's some foreign kid that's supposed to be really.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Good, Well, yeah, there's a there's a big kid in
- 1:38Speaker 2: Spain that's you know, that's yeah, yeah, maybe the best
- 1:43Speaker 2: player out there.
- 1:44Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:45Speaker 2: So it depends, you know, it depends what they want
- 1:47Speaker 2: to do with their team, how they want to build it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: But it's not automatic that all Page is there. Let's
- 1:51Speaker 2: just get easy. And you know, I don't and I
- 1:53Speaker 2: don't think as he's thinking that either. You know, maybe
- 1:56Speaker 2: if you asked as to like, well, I'd like to
- 1:58Speaker 2: go number four to Washington where I live, you know,
- 2:01Speaker 2: being close to home. So who knows how that's going
- 2:04Speaker 2: to go. But hey, listen, Jose's now coaching in South Florida.
- 2:09Speaker 2: They'd beat Duke for the first time ever, second time
- 2:12Speaker 2: back years, back to back here, I'm sorry to back
- 2:15Speaker 2: at home.
- 2:16Speaker 3: That's right.
- 2:16Speaker 1: They're tough at home.
- 2:17Speaker 2: So they're good. Yeah, they're good. So, yeah, this is
- 2:21Speaker 2: gonna be uh, it's gonna be a good trip.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Yeah, Tuesday will be fun. I mean at least men's
- 2:25Speaker 4: and women. Tuesday got women in USF five o'clock. Men
- 2:29Speaker 4: play at Kansas again.
- 2:31Speaker 3: That's a big day.
- 2:31Speaker 1: That'll be a big day for women's for basketball.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Don't our guys played Louisville, I mean Illinois.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Illinois Friday at the Garden.
- 2:38Speaker 3: So they go Friday Tuesday, Friday.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Tuesday, they have one game, one by game, and then
- 2:42Speaker 4: they have Florida and Texas right after that.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Nice good non conference schedule.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Now they know what I go through every.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Year exactly as they should.
- 2:50Speaker 4: All right, Well, we were talking about your mom and
- 2:52Speaker 4: getting nervous in close games. I know all of you,
- 2:55Speaker 4: some of you get nervous in close games, right, We're not.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I love close games because it makes our broadcast much
- 2:59Speaker 4: more fun. On Friday was interesting. Michigan is legit good.
- 3:03Speaker 4: They had three outstanding sophomores, Olivia Olsen, Mila Holloway and
- 3:07Speaker 4: Silas Swords, who is only averaging close to thirty points
- 3:10Speaker 4: a game against the three number one teams that she
- 3:12Speaker 4: has facing her career. South Carolina, UCLA and you cut
- 3:15Speaker 4: and she scored twenty nine and that was quite the
- 3:17Speaker 4: show between she and Azy Fudd in the fourth quarter.
- 3:20Speaker 4: But let's go back to the third because nicely at
- 3:24Speaker 4: halftime they go zone, they come back. It felt like
- 3:27Speaker 4: a game against North Carolina last year, almost the same thing.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Made things interesting because of the zone. Zones can change
- 3:33Speaker 4: you a lot, and especially if you're not making shots,
- 3:35Speaker 4: and that kind of was the case in the third quarter.
- 3:37Speaker 1: One of the issues.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, your people go zone for a
- 3:43Speaker 2: couple of reasons. One they can't guard you men and man.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Or they go zone because they just want to change
- 3:50Speaker 2: the tempo of the game. They want to make the
- 3:52Speaker 2: game slower, and they want to they want to make
- 3:58Speaker 2: you stand one spot, which is not bad. You know,
- 4:02Speaker 2: if you've got the right the right pieces, it's not bad.
- 4:08Speaker 2: So Ohio State did the same thing. Ohio State came
- 4:13Speaker 2: out and they went zone, and we made three passes
- 4:17Speaker 2: and got a wide open three and then they didn't
- 4:19Speaker 2: do it again.
- 4:20Speaker 3: That was it. That was the only time they played it.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So with with playing zone and playing Mission, they're going
- 4:27Speaker 2: to stay in it as long as you keep missing shots.
- 4:30Speaker 2: And we kept missing shots. So we watched the film
- 4:33Speaker 2: and it's like, we got a bunch of open shots
- 4:36Speaker 2: and then here's what happens. It's like baseball. Basketball is
- 4:40Speaker 2: a little bit like baseball. You know, when people start hitting,
- 4:44Speaker 2: everybody hits. When people don't hit, nobody hits, you know,
- 4:48Speaker 2: when they call, you know, the teams in a slump
- 4:51Speaker 2: or something. So we had some wide open shots and
- 4:55Speaker 2: people wouldn't take them, and Asy was the only one
- 4:58Speaker 2: who would shoot them. And that makes it hard for
- 5:03Speaker 2: us because our job is to get you an open shop.
- 5:08Speaker 2: If you won't shoot it, there's nothing we can do
- 5:09Speaker 2: about it. And then they get some momentum and then
- 5:14Speaker 2: we're up ten or twelve whatever it was. And then, look,
- 5:20Speaker 2: I'm not saying anything I don't say to my team
- 5:22Speaker 2: all the time. We're not very bright as a team.
- 5:27Speaker 2: I don't mean I can school or stuff like that.
- 5:29Speaker 2: We're just not a very smart basketball team. We do
- 5:32Speaker 2: a lot of dumb things, okay, and you can't do
- 5:36Speaker 2: that against a really good team. So the last part
- 5:40Speaker 2: of the last part of the game, they did the
- 5:44Speaker 2: same thing three times in a row, and Swords got
- 5:48Speaker 2: a wide open three all three times. Now you got
- 5:51Speaker 2: to say to yourself, God bless the kid and God
- 5:54Speaker 2: blessed Michigan because they execute it, and we're dumb because
- 5:58Speaker 2: we let the same thing happen times in a row.
- 6:02Speaker 2: So you need both of those things for it to
- 6:04Speaker 2: be a really close game.
- 6:06Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Like if they if they're really good and
- 6:09Speaker 3: you're smart, it doesn't matter. You know.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Sometimes if they're bad and you're not smart, it's bad
- 6:17Speaker 2: for you. And we had the double whammy. They were
- 6:21Speaker 2: really good at executing and we I don't want to
- 6:25Speaker 2: mention any names, but we got some players that we
- 6:28Speaker 2: don't think very quickly out on the floor.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:31Speaker 4: On Sunday, I was sitting next So they're radio broadcaster,
- 6:34Speaker 4: mister Park and we were talking about the game on Friday,
- 6:37Speaker 4: and he also mentioned to me that there is a
- 6:40Speaker 4: thought that there could be a yukon Michigan game next year.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I don't know if our schedules finished yet for next year.
- 6:49Speaker 2: But you know, Ward was there and how many you
- 6:52Speaker 2: guys in the award when he was here as the aide?
- 6:55Speaker 3: Yeah? Where was that the game? You know, he came
- 6:58Speaker 3: down this you know obvious.
- 7:00Speaker 2: See, you know, it was great for him because he's
- 7:02Speaker 2: going to support Michigan and you know, and he really
- 7:05Speaker 2: likes Kim and their team. But they had a they
- 7:08Speaker 2: had a football game Saturday at at Maryland, and so
- 7:13Speaker 2: he was able to finagle fly down watch the game
- 7:17Speaker 2: Friday and then go to the Maryland game Saturday, and
- 7:19Speaker 2: so we talked a long time. You know, we got
- 7:21Speaker 2: together after the game and yeah, you know, if there's
- 7:25Speaker 2: a chance that we could play a home and home
- 7:27Speaker 2: with them, I would love it. They're great, Kim's great,
- 7:30Speaker 2: Their coach is great. You know, one of the assistant
- 7:33Speaker 2: coaches on their team was the Xavior.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Coach a few years ago.
- 7:37Speaker 2: I had the game, so yeah, yeah, you know, so
- 7:42Speaker 2: far we've played what two Big ten teams, two ACC teams,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and a Big twelve team and like Loyola during the
- 7:52Speaker 2: eight ten. So yeah, we try to spread it around.
- 7:55Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to play these same teams
- 7:58Speaker 2: all the time, you know, you want to try to
- 8:00Speaker 2: you know, like, we haven't been at usc in forever
- 8:03Speaker 2: and we're going out there this year.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Last time we went there was three. Yeah, we've never
- 8:07Speaker 4: been to Michigan.
- 8:08Speaker 3: No, that was the first time. That was the first
- 8:10Speaker 3: time we ever played Michigan.
- 8:12Speaker 1: You played Michigan State a few times.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Yeah, we played in Michigan State.
- 8:15Speaker 1: One I won, but not there though.
- 8:17Speaker 3: No, never played at Michigan State.
