Speaker 2: Center phone line to Gainesville, Florida, home of the Gators,
11:27
Speaker 2: this swamp a visit with min's tennis coach Steve Denton. Steve,
11:32
Speaker 2: you guys are getting ready for a Friday match. We'll
11:35
Speaker 2: talk more about this in a minute, but I'm looking
11:38
Speaker 2: at the schedule the people at the SEC that's not
11:42
Speaker 2: like you very much.
11:43
Speaker 1: You've got four straight away matches.
11:47
Speaker 9: Yeah, four straight and also a lot of really really
11:52
Speaker 9: good teams as well. Yeah, we're gonna have to pick
11:56
Speaker 9: it up a little bit. Unfortunately, on Friday we had
12:02
Speaker 9: a rough one against Georgia. You know, we were up
12:04
Speaker 9: three to one and and Colo Montsi didn't get to play,
12:08
Speaker 9: hurt himself in the doubles and Obviously that didn't help.
12:11
Speaker 9: But still we had to figure out a way to
12:13
Speaker 9: win that match, and I had chances to win it.
12:16
Speaker 9: I think Togan Tocatch was up or two in the
12:19
Speaker 9: third set of his match and we were seven five,
12:24
Speaker 9: four to three on another court. Yep, you know, we
12:26
Speaker 9: didn't win either one of those matches, and uh, you know,
12:30
Speaker 9: it was a tough one for us. And now because
12:32
Speaker 9: of that, you know, we're gonna have to, uh, we're
12:36
Speaker 9: gonna have to toughen up here a little bit and
12:38
Speaker 9: play against some of these really good teams a little
12:40
Speaker 9: bit shorthanded.
12:41
Speaker 2: So did that match and the way you lost and
12:45
Speaker 2: how difficult it was carry over to Sunday.
12:50
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, you know you would think not, but
12:54
Speaker 9: obviously it was a pretty tough blow to you know,
12:58
Speaker 9: lose both the match and had have chances of winning,
13:02
Speaker 9: and then obviously losing a player too. Yeah, that was
13:07
Speaker 9: one of our hottest players. You know, We've been kind
13:10
Speaker 9: of struggling getting to four and he was one of
13:13
Speaker 9: the big pieces of the puzzle that was winning significantly. Yeah,
13:18
Speaker 9: you know, and that ended up, you know, being our
13:21
Speaker 9: downfall because we we did come back. We were, as
13:24
Speaker 9: I said, we were we lost the doubles point or sorry,
13:30
Speaker 9: we won the doubles point.
13:31
Speaker 4: Yes, and then we.
13:32
Speaker 9: Could only win two singles matches and we had a
13:34
Speaker 9: couple more that we could have won that we couldn't
13:37
Speaker 9: quite get over the finish line. And ultimately, you know,
13:40
Speaker 9: with a good Georgia team, that was the difference.
13:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the Vanderbilt match.
13:47
Speaker 2: Then a couple of days later. I mean, you played
13:51
Speaker 2: two really difficult close matches.
13:54
Speaker 9: We did, we were we didn't play very well in
13:58
Speaker 9: the doubles. That's probably one of our our forest doubles
14:01
Speaker 9: performances of the season, though you guys do so far. Yeah,
14:06
Speaker 9: but we just didn't play well on Sunday against Vanderbilt
14:09
Speaker 9: for whatever reason. I don't have the answer to that,
14:13
Speaker 9: but I guess some of these guys got up on
14:15
Speaker 9: the wrong side of the bed. But uh, but we
14:19
Speaker 9: ended up losing the doubles point, and then to our credit,
14:22
Speaker 9: you know, our guys stepped up and and we got
14:24
Speaker 9: ahead again in that match. I think we were maybe
14:27
Speaker 9: up three two with two matches left on the court,
14:31
Speaker 9: and uh, again kind of the same situation. You know,
14:36
Speaker 9: we couldn't get one of those matches to turn our
14:38
Speaker 9: way and ended up making it a rough weekend for
14:41
Speaker 9: us and kind of put us in a little bit
14:43
Speaker 9: of a spot. And that with Alcolo and now the
14:50
Speaker 9: beast of a schedule that we've got, you know, this
14:53
Speaker 9: weekend against a very good Florida team and then even
14:56
Speaker 9: a probably better team of South Carolina on Sunday, maybe
14:59
Speaker 9: flo or to last week five too. So play those
15:03
Speaker 9: two on the road, and then we've got four of
15:05
Speaker 9: our toughest matches of the season, you know, a couple
15:09
Speaker 9: of them at home, a couple of them away. Uh,
15:12
Speaker 9: you know, with Texas in maybe number one or two,
15:16
Speaker 9: Ohio States kind of similar, LSU in the top seven
15:21
Speaker 9: or eight, and then uh, Mississippi State maybe top five.
15:25
Speaker 9: So we've got a lot of tough matches coming up,
15:27
Speaker 9: and we've just got to figure out a way to
15:30
Speaker 9: you know, write the ship here and be able to
15:33
Speaker 9: come through with a tough win on the road and
15:35
Speaker 9: then try to gain me gain some momentum again.
15:38
Speaker 2: So what are are you like still experimenting with with
15:44
Speaker 2: Moncis because of Bonci's injury in terms of who will
15:49
Speaker 2: be for you.
15:50
Speaker 9: We'll have to pit. Yeah, we're gonna have to pivot there.
15:53
Speaker 9: We'll likely play Alex Arcina and Lath and Scobarsik together
15:58
Speaker 9: in doubles, and then we're gonna we had tried to
16:02
Speaker 9: start him out in doubles early in the season. We
16:05
Speaker 9: were going to probably put Marcus Molder back in with
16:09
Speaker 9: with Iago Prez, who had played a couple of times
16:13
Speaker 9: early early in the season. Then he played Davids Cup
16:16
Speaker 9: for his country at last, and when he came back,
16:20
Speaker 9: you know, for a week or two, I just thought
16:22
Speaker 9: it was a big physical challenge for him to have
16:25
Speaker 9: to play both singles and doubles, and so I left
16:28
Speaker 9: him out of the doubles for a couple of weeks.
16:31
Speaker 9: And now it looks like we're going to need to
16:34
Speaker 9: probably throw him back in there and see what he
16:36
Speaker 9: and I and Chiago can do.
16:39
Speaker 1: Has been playing really well for you, he.
16:41
Speaker 9: Has, He's played well. He's been one of our our
16:44
Speaker 9: more solid points. Obviously THEO with acception of this last weekend,
16:50
Speaker 9: he had a little bit of a tough match against
16:53
Speaker 9: a very good, uh you know transfer that came into
16:57
Speaker 9: Georgia that's a little bit older than him, a little
17:00
Speaker 9: more experience than him, and played a good match and
17:04
Speaker 9: he had a chance to win the first set tiebreaker yep,
17:07
Speaker 9: then didn't win that tiebreaker, and then the other other
17:11
Speaker 9: boy was able to really kind of step it up
17:14
Speaker 9: in the third set, our second set to close him out.
17:18
Speaker 9: But it was one of the first matches that he
17:24
Speaker 9: struggled in or didn't win here in quite a while.
17:28
Speaker 9: He's really had a very good first part of the
17:30
Speaker 9: season as our number one player.
17:33
Speaker 2: You guys have played here and it's been in the eighties.
17:38
Speaker 2: I'm assuming the weather as you expect to be similar
17:41
Speaker 2: on Friday in Gainesville.
17:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going to be hot in humid here. It's
17:46
Speaker 9: going to be eighty six and yep, you know, pretty
17:48
Speaker 9: high humidity, and it was pretty hot actually on Sunday,
17:53
Speaker 9: and then yesterday when we practiced was still pretty warm.
17:57
Speaker 9: So it's comparable temperature here. So yeah, it shouldn't be
18:02
Speaker 9: too big of a of a change for us. So,
18:07
Speaker 9: you know, I think we'll be acclimated to it. We'll
18:10
Speaker 9: just see if we can, you know, get off their
18:13
Speaker 9: good start here this weekend and see what we can
18:16

19:22
Speaker 2: Aggie basketball with a big win last night, let's uh.
19:26
Speaker 2: Let's hear a little bit from UH post game from
19:29
Speaker 2: the head coach Bucky after the Aggies win over the Wildcats,
19:38
Speaker 2: man the great.
19:39
Speaker 11: Win by our guys. We uh, you know, we kind
19:41
Speaker 11: of had to have it. We knew that how a thought.
19:45
Speaker 11: You've heard me in here here challenging our guards a man.
19:47
Speaker 12: They got to really step it up and play with
19:50
Speaker 12: more reckless abandon. I told our team, I want to
19:52
Speaker 12: get off thirty to forty threes to I think we
19:53
Speaker 12: got off twenty nine in the game or twenty eight,
19:57
Speaker 12: And you know that's what busted the game open when
19:59
Speaker 12: rub Ryland got loose in the first half.
20:02
Speaker 11: We are what we are. We're shooting team.
20:04
Speaker 12: We got to stay with it, even through the ups
20:06
Speaker 12: and downs of it and even through the ups and
20:08
Speaker 12: downs of a season, and it was good to see
20:09
Speaker 12: us break out of that and we're making shots we
20:11
Speaker 12: can probably beat about anybody.
20:13
Speaker 11: Defense was good. I had a gap in that first half.
20:16
Speaker 12: I thought we really leaned on them at a time,
20:18
Speaker 12: and our guys got loose, and that was probably the
20:20
Speaker 12: separator in the game. Which we had closed the game better,
20:23
Speaker 12: which we didn't close it great. They made some tough shots,
20:26
Speaker 12: had some tough calls, and then we we just could
20:30
Speaker 12: have done it seems a little bit better there, But overall,
20:32
Speaker 12: I gotta be really happy with our guys because I
20:34
Speaker 12: thought they won their matchups in a lot of those
20:36
Speaker 12: spots and that was good to see. And we're sitting
20:39
Speaker 12: here and I'll say this, we got a I mentioned
20:42
Speaker 12: this to our team. You know, I respect so much
20:45
Speaker 12: the tradition the players have come before here at A
20:48
Speaker 12: and M. And I've got to know some of the
20:50
Speaker 12: players off last year's team, and you know that they
20:54
Speaker 12: were talking about We talked to them about just it.
20:56
Speaker 11: Was a great year. They brought back a lot of
20:58
Speaker 11: guys and how tough this league is.
21:00
Speaker 12: And I think last year with a great team, they
21:04
Speaker 12: went through this league play and went eleven to seven
21:06
Speaker 12: in the league. And that was a group of guys
21:09
Speaker 12: that have been here a while. That is a hard
21:12
Speaker 12: thing to do in this league. It's a hard thing
21:14
Speaker 12: to do. And we didn't want to fall off with
21:19
Speaker 12: this group, even though they're all new guys. And so
21:22
Speaker 12: you know, we've been getting text from these guys all
21:24
Speaker 12: year long supporting us. And I said the same deal.
21:26
Speaker 12: Let's you know, if we could get these last two
21:28
Speaker 12: and we can go to A to LSU and we
21:32
Speaker 12: come away with eleven SEC wins in this tough league.
21:35
Speaker 12: That would be a heck of an accomplishment, and that
21:37
Speaker 12: would kind of keep carrying on what some of these
21:40
Speaker 12: teams have done before we got here, to kind of
21:42
Speaker 12: set the table for this group, even though they're all new,
21:45
Speaker 12: set the table for this group. So we want to
21:47
Speaker 12: keep it going and get to that LSU game and
21:49
Speaker 12: play really well and close the season off right.
21:51
Speaker 11: Look, did you see.
21:52
Speaker 4: Any game or earlier or anything, any indications that would
21:55
Speaker 4: have told you that Ruben was.
21:58
Speaker 11: Going to break out of it the way you need
21:59
Speaker 11: to be.
22:02
Speaker 12: You know, I had a guy in town, a buddy
22:04
Speaker 12: of mine who coaches a lot of international basketball. He coaches,
22:07
Speaker 12: coached the Redeemed team. He was an assistant coach on
22:11
Speaker 12: that team. He was in town, he knows. Ruby was
22:12
Speaker 12: talking to him, and it's funny. He's actually staying at
22:15
Speaker 12: my house here the past couple of days, and he
22:18
Speaker 12: told me where it was about to go off in
22:20
Speaker 12: this game.
22:22
Speaker 11: He told me that he called it, and he said,
22:23
Speaker 11: I'm just telling you.
22:24
Speaker 12: I had a little talk with him, you know, and
22:26
Speaker 12: I was telling you, I feel that he's about to
22:28
Speaker 12: go off, all right, Tony we'll see, And I actually
22:31
Speaker 12: told him, he goes off, you can do the media,
22:33
Speaker 12: so I might.
22:33
Speaker 11: As well bring him in here on under the media.
22:35
Speaker 12: But other than that, you know, I don't know what
22:37
Speaker 12: night it's going to be for a shooter to go off.
22:39
Speaker 12: He came out there, he passed up on some threes,
22:41
Speaker 12: and I pulled him aside that if you don't get
22:43
Speaker 12: out there and get four or five threes off this half,
22:45
Speaker 12: you're not going back in the game again the rest
22:47
Speaker 12: of the game. And I thought that freed him up
22:49
Speaker 12: a little bit to not worry about making or missing it.
22:51
Speaker 12: Like I got to get some threes off, and that
22:54
Speaker 12: was that was a separate in the game.
22:56
Speaker 9: What do you think defensively on that twenty seven to
22:59
Speaker 9: two run was working for you?
23:00
Speaker 2: Guys?
23:02
Speaker 11: Just stay with what we do.
23:04
Speaker 12: Like what we do in totality, it generates offense and
23:10
Speaker 12: gets the game going. Trying to lean on those guys
23:12
Speaker 12: as much as we can. We used a deep bench,
23:16
Speaker 12: and I just thought there was a part there where
23:18
Speaker 12: we had some of our guys in there that were
23:19
Speaker 12: pretty fresh and they had some foul trouble there. They
23:23
Speaker 12: couldn't sub as much and they had some look they
23:26
Speaker 12: just came up, came up off in those spots, and
23:28
Speaker 12: that led to transition opportunities for us.
23:31
Speaker 13: What was what was it about tonight that this was
23:34
Speaker 13: the night to finally switch up the starting lineup?
23:36
Speaker 11: And how'd you kind of come.
23:37
Speaker 14: To that five?
23:39
Speaker 12: Because at five had had beat the other five and
23:42
Speaker 12: practice the other day and this time of year, like.
23:46
Speaker 7: It is what it is.
23:47
Speaker 12: We got to play well, but like we got to
23:48
Speaker 12: keep getting better. And so you know, I mean we
23:53
Speaker 12: didn't have a great February. We've had a great season
23:56
Speaker 12: in my opinion, but you know, I mean we're gonna
24:01
Speaker 12: play the players that are playing the best. And if
24:03
Speaker 12: one group's being an other team's group, like, nobody's job
24:05
Speaker 12: safe here, right, I mean we know that. I mean,
24:08
Speaker 12: if we won twenty five percent of my games, I
24:10
Speaker 12: love talking y'all, I probably won't be talking you all
24:12
Speaker 12: very long, right, So that's for everybody. I mean, we've
24:15
Speaker 12: got enough talent out there that we can figure it out.
24:18
Speaker 12: And the next thing is, I wanted some of those
24:21
Speaker 12: guards a little mad at me, Honestly, I wanted them
24:24
Speaker 12: mad at me to play with a little more firely.
24:26
Speaker 12: They got something they got to prove and they did it.
24:29
Speaker 12: So if I can make them mad at me more often,
24:31
Speaker 12: I'm gonna keep doing it. However, that is what'd you like.
24:34
Speaker 1: About how Ryland played, especially in the second half.
24:37
Speaker 12: He played aggressive, He played like he had something to prove.
24:44
Speaker 11: He played not to.
24:47
Speaker 12: You know, not to just be out there and stay
24:50
Speaker 12: on the floor, but be an impact in the game.
24:52
Speaker 11: Ryland has been.
24:52
Speaker 12: A role player at a lot of the places he's
24:55
Speaker 12: been in Alabama, Kansas, but you know, we brought him
24:58
Speaker 12: here to be a real player, and he's done that
25:02
Speaker 12: great time a lot of times in the season. But
25:05
Speaker 12: he's got to understand that, like he's a key guard
25:07
Speaker 12: for us, he's got to be a real player at
25:09
Speaker 12: all times. And if he misses some shots and he
25:12
Speaker 12: gets off twelve shots, sometimes he's going to miss him.
25:14
Speaker 12: But I'd rather live with him getting off twelve shots
25:16
Speaker 12: and getting off three. We got to do a better
25:18
Speaker 12: job of getting him open. But you could see the
25:20
Speaker 12: aggressiveness in his eye, the way he ran the floor,
25:22
Speaker 12: the way he got to the basket, and the way
25:23
Speaker 12: he was looking for a shot.
25:24
Speaker 4: You know. To that point, Roland did talk about the
25:27
Speaker 4: aggression and understanding what this game meant how do you
25:29
Speaker 4: as a coach kind of.
25:30
Speaker 15: Balance saying, hey, like, we understand this position where we're in,
25:33
Speaker 15: but staying within.
25:34
Speaker 12: Yourself, Well, I'd rather go down swinging. And that's why
25:38
Speaker 12: I told our guys, man, try to squeeze all forty
25:40
Speaker 12: threes if we can. We didn't, but they had that
25:43
Speaker 12: mindset and that way, they're not focused on winning or losing.
25:46
Speaker 11: They're just focused on playing aggressive in the game.
25:48
Speaker 12: You know, we got to the line thirty nine times
25:49
Speaker 12: in the game, which is elite, so you know, play aggressive,
25:53
Speaker 12: live with whatever happens after that. We actually started the
25:56
Speaker 12: game trapping a little bit more than normal, just so
25:58
Speaker 12: we can come out aggressive and and you really send
26:01
Speaker 12: the message. Now they got up on us, but you know,
26:03
Speaker 12: I still felt we were aggressive, which was good to see.
26:06
Speaker 15: You're talking about having the thirty forty three points years
26:08
Speaker 15: do you think or three point shots? Do you think
26:11
Speaker 15: that is what contributed into finding that second, third, fourth
26:14
Speaker 15: score through stretch that y'all kind of been missing in
26:18
Speaker 15: the last few games.
26:19
Speaker 11: Yeah.
26:20
Speaker 12: I mean, our guards just let's call it what it is, like,
26:22
Speaker 12: our guards really played well tonight and I thought they
26:25
Speaker 12: got the best of the best of some of their
26:27
Speaker 12: matchups in the game when they played well. Some of
26:30
Speaker 12: these games recently, we haven't. You know, you can't have
26:35
Speaker 12: you can't look up on the stat sheet this time
26:37
Speaker 12: of year and the other team guards go for fifty
26:40
Speaker 12: some points and you know we go for twenty one.
26:43
Speaker 12: You're not gonna win this time of year doing that.
26:45
Speaker 12: So you know, it was a collective effort. You know,
26:48
Speaker 12: Oley played well in the game. He had eight points,
26:51
Speaker 12: but his plus thirty one when we're on the floor, right,
26:53
Speaker 12: he played twenty one minutes and it was plus thirty one.
26:56
Speaker 12: He does a lot of things out there. Him and
26:58
Speaker 12: Ruben are kind of a good combination. You know, Ali's
27:02
Speaker 12: a defender and athlete. Ruben's a shooter and thinks the
27:08
Speaker 12: game really well. But you know, even though he don't
27:11
Speaker 12: show up with you know all those threes, Illy had
27:13
Speaker 12: a great game as well.
27:14
Speaker 15: Do you feel like that win is one to get you.
27:16
Speaker 11: Off the bubble?
27:19
Speaker 12: Look, I mean, I'll just say like this, I don't
27:21
Speaker 12: really I don't like to make anyone upset or the
27:24
Speaker 12: insa tournament committee upset.
27:25
Speaker 11: I'm not trying to lobby. I'm not gonna lobby for
27:27
Speaker 11: our team.
27:28
Speaker 12: Look, you know, at the end of the day, you
27:30
Speaker 12: should want our team in the tournament because we were,
27:33
Speaker 12: because we're good enough. We won twenty plus games and
27:36
Speaker 12: we have a winning record in the league. But we
27:37
Speaker 12: need to go get this next one regardless. I want
27:39
Speaker 12: to make a run a the SEC tournament, but I'm
27:41
Speaker 12: not gonna lobby. I'm not gonna cry about getting in
27:44
Speaker 12: or anything like that, Like that's not what it's about here.
27:46
Speaker 12: You should want Texas A and M if they're in
27:48
Speaker 12: there in the tournament. We've done stuff on the road,
27:50
Speaker 12: even the games we've lost against the top team in
27:52
Speaker 12: the league. I've been right there a lot of times.
27:54
Speaker 12: We're an exciting team. We're a tough matchup for other teams.
27:58
Speaker 12: We're in the number one league in the country. The
28:00
Speaker 12: bunch of guys that came together there last second lost
28:03
Speaker 12: a couple of games early and kind of really rolled
28:05
Speaker 12: in spite of adversity.
28:06
Speaker 11: So we've took everything that's come our way.
28:09
Speaker 12: If you kind of look at the totality of the season,
28:13
Speaker 12: we want to be in that deal for sure, but
28:14
Speaker 12: you know, we want people that want us in there,
28:16
Speaker 12: and that's how I feel about it.
28:18
Speaker 15: Jakari didn't play tonight, We just want to ask you
28:20
Speaker 15: there was a reason for about it just wasn't.
28:24
Speaker 12: Just wasn't what we went with. You know, you gotta
28:26
Speaker 12: be ready to play next game. You know, we'll see
28:28
Speaker 12: how it goes. No no discipline, eary reason, nothing like that.
28:31
Speaker 12: He just sometimes you feel your gut's telling you one
28:34
Speaker 12: way on a game, sometimes another. You know, there's a
28:37
Speaker 12: game this year that that part Cary played one minute in.
28:40
Speaker 12: You know, there's a game that Pop didn't even dress in.
28:43
Speaker 12: You know there's game Josh hadn't played much, and he
28:45
Speaker 12: played a lot tonight. So it just kind of got
28:46
Speaker 12: to rally around that.
28:49
Speaker 16: Did eight steals and eighteen wins on turnovers tonight.
28:52
Speaker 11: Kind of how.
28:53
Speaker 15: Did that success defensively translate to successful offense.
28:58
Speaker 12: It's always good when you can get turnovers and play
29:00
Speaker 12: like we play and get up and down. You know,
29:05
Speaker 12: you just feel better about it playing that way, Like
29:09
Speaker 12: I'm always good. A team that coach that's going to press,
29:12
Speaker 12: I'll never not press because I can live with it.
29:14
Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying. I'm trying to live my
29:16
Speaker 12: life and I want our team to live their life.
29:18
Speaker 12: I'm not playing basketball, I'm coaching basketball. Afraid of them's shadow.
29:22
Speaker 12: And I think basketball is a war. I think, you know,
29:26
Speaker 12: picking the guys up ninety four feet, there's a reason
29:29
Speaker 12: floors ninety four feet, not to play at forty something
29:31
Speaker 12: feet right, not to sit back inside the three and
29:33
Speaker 12: be scared of death, of giving up a dunk or
29:35
Speaker 12: a layup. And that that helps our team when we
29:38
Speaker 12: get stilled, but also helps our mindset because they know
29:41
Speaker 12: we're playing to live and we're not playing not to die. Hey,
29:47
Speaker 12: I want to say something because it's our last home game.
29:49
Speaker 12: I really appreciate y'all's coverage and y'all been very positive
29:51
Speaker 12: with our team. And I mean that because, like you know,
29:54
Speaker 12: I think people have a realization of our group that
29:57
Speaker 12: everybody wants to win every game. And I'm not gonna
29:59
Speaker 12: be content. We win this league and we go win
30:01
Speaker 12: a Natty and win the final four. One day we'll
30:02
Speaker 12: get to the final four. It's gonna be something awesome
30:04
Speaker 12: to do. But while we're building this thing, it's very easy.
30:08
Speaker 12: And went through a four game losing streak or we
30:10
Speaker 12: started the season off not very good for everyone not
30:13
Speaker 12: to be positive and stay with this team. I'm not
30:15
Speaker 12: expecting everything to be whatever I get, it never gonna
30:17
Speaker 12: offend me, but it impacts recruiting, It impacts the morale
30:22
Speaker 12: of the fan base, and understanding what we were up against,
30:26
Speaker 12: gave us a chance to go. And now I have
30:27
Speaker 12: a chance to go eleven and seven in the league
30:29
Speaker 12: and get to then say tournament, And it'd be very
30:31
Speaker 12: easy to tourna when things don't go great. But man,
30:34
Speaker 12: many of y'all met, I call you all my friends.
30:35
Speaker 12: I Don'm not trying to influence your journalism, but it
30:38
Speaker 12: means a great deal because it helped this team team
30:41
Speaker 12: stay the course and feel the love that they got
30:44
Speaker 12: to feel and keep the positive momentum going so that
30:46
Speaker 12: we can do something special and try to get to
30:48
Speaker 12: this insay tournament, and I won't forget it. Hopefully we're
30:51
Speaker 12: never on the bubble again. Hopefully we just ride right
30:54
Speaker 12: on through. But I'm gonna remember everyone that was here
30:57
Speaker 12: when we were going through the ups and downs of it,
30:59
Speaker 12: Appreciate y'all and gig them.
31:01
Speaker 2: That's a bucky post game last night, and hopefully that
31:10
Speaker 2: gets them in the tournament.

Speaker 4: Ice crying in the room. They played Fred Rose's version
35:24
Speaker 4: of it. They didn't know, yes they did.
35:30
Speaker 1: Exactly were they trying to get back at you?
35:32
Speaker 4: I was eight.
35:37
Speaker 1: Scott Fland did it us here with us?
35:39
Speaker 2: I had to open the show with the news that
35:41
Speaker 2: lou Holtz had died. We knew several weeks that he
35:45
Speaker 2: was close and not in great health, his family issuing
35:49
Speaker 2: a long statement on social media one of my favorites,
35:53
Speaker 2: one of my one of the favorite coaches that I covered.
35:56
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy was always accommodating, but he didn't
36:00
Speaker 2: have to be. I loved him. I loved what he
36:03
Speaker 2: stood for. He won the not last national championship at
36:10
Speaker 2: Notre Dame in nineteen eighty eight. That is really hard
36:15
Speaker 2: to believe.
36:19
Speaker 1: Could have won a couple of more, but didn't.
36:22
Speaker 4: As I've always said this, more than Bobby Bowden, he
36:29
Speaker 4: was the best big game coach of his generation. That
36:35
Speaker 4: was also the worst big game coach of his generation.
36:38
Speaker 4: I don't think Bobby Bowden didn't lose national championships because
36:43
Speaker 4: of stuff he did. I mean, he put the kicker
36:45
Speaker 4: out there. You're supposed to be able to make those kids, Yeah, okay, yeah,
36:48
Speaker 4: all those things that went on, all right. Lou would
36:52
Speaker 4: make decisions in huge games that would backfire spectacle curly
37:00
Speaker 4: and cost him. They shouldn't have lost to Boston College
37:04
Speaker 4: after beating UH Catholic VERSU convicts game. Yes, okay, yes,
37:10
Speaker 4: so you lose to Boston College, you play A and
37:12
Speaker 4: M that next game Okay, we we know how that was.
37:15
Speaker 4: That was a Notre Dame, was the best team in
37:17
Speaker 4: the country, all right, they No, it was Florida State.
37:21
Speaker 4: It wasn't Miami. It was Florida State, who they had
37:23
Speaker 4: beaten two weeks earlier. Goes and wins the national championship
37:27
Speaker 4: for Bobby Bowden and Lou doesn't get I just beat
37:31
Speaker 4: them three weeks ago. Yes, okay, Kirby smart reminds me
37:36
Speaker 4: of the same way.
37:37
Speaker 1: Interesting. Well, let me let me say this.
37:41
Speaker 2: If if you win big games and lose big games,
37:46
Speaker 2: you're playing a lot of big games.
37:48
Speaker 4: You're in big games. I understand that. But Kirby, you
37:52
Speaker 4: call a brilliant call this year to steal the momentum
37:56
Speaker 4: and a fake play and everything's great and you get
37:59
Speaker 4: back and take the lead in the next series. Your
38:02
Speaker 4: play is a bonehead play that cost it was stupid. No, yes, no, yes, Kirby.
38:07
Speaker 4: I've always thought Kirby reminds me of Holtz. Interesting okay,
38:12
Speaker 4: But Lou Holtz was a huge big game coach.
38:16
Speaker 2: Well, I just I loved him off the field more
38:19
Speaker 2: than I did on the field. I loved watching him
38:21
Speaker 2: on the field. You know when when he came to Arkansas,
38:25
Speaker 2: we obviously all got to see him here, right and
38:28
Speaker 2: and and just just that that cage tiger pacing back
38:33
Speaker 2: and forth with that uh play sheet rolled up in
38:36
Speaker 2: his back pocket.
38:38
Speaker 4: Uh.
38:39
Speaker 2: You know, I always thought that Lou was going to
38:42
Speaker 2: turn sideways and disappear. And I think most of that was,
38:46
Speaker 2: you know, that's how he was built. He he he
38:49
Speaker 2: probably didn't eat a lot, uh, or maybe he threw
38:53
Speaker 2: it up some when he was eating, because he was
38:56
Speaker 2: just always like that. But but but off the field,
38:59
Speaker 2: he was comfortable going on Carson and doing magic tricks
39:02
Speaker 2: and making people laugh. He was open about his faith,
39:08
Speaker 2: and even more so the the older he got. And
39:11
Speaker 2: I just he was just one of the all time greats.
39:15
Speaker 2: He was a character, you know, I mean he knew that.
39:19
Speaker 2: But but I don't think that his ego overwhelmed anybody.
39:25
Speaker 2: I just I just always really liked low Holtz, and
39:29
Speaker 2: again as a guy who who was able to cover
39:32
Speaker 2: him in the cotton bolls, you know, a couple of
39:35
Speaker 2: times that they played Notre Dame and then at Arkansas
39:39
Speaker 2: and in other places at South Carolina even I mean
39:45
Speaker 2: he went and he had some memorable memorable games as
39:49
Speaker 2: you mentioned some of which that he won. I think
39:53
Speaker 2: of that Orange Bowl when they went in and he
39:56
Speaker 2: he saw Arkansas beat Oklahoma and he had kicked you know,
39:59
Speaker 2: three MA major players off the team for violating curfew
40:03
Speaker 2: right before that game, and and and then went in
40:05
Speaker 2: and and denied Oklahoma I think a national championship by
40:09
Speaker 2: winning that Orange Bowl.
40:11
Speaker 1: Uh.
40:11
Speaker 2: But I just I just always liked him. I think
40:15
Speaker 2: most people liked him. Uh. And Uh, he'll be missed.
40:19
Speaker 2: He was a giant figure. And and I think he
40:24
Speaker 2: came out of an era where where which we've talked
40:28
Speaker 2: about many times now that that coaches weren't afraid to
40:32
Speaker 2: have some personality, right, and he certainly wasn't afraid to
40:36
Speaker 2: have He was just he was who he was, uh,
40:40
Speaker 2: and which which I think endeared him to a lot
40:42
Speaker 2: of people.
40:43
Speaker 1: Nowadays, you don't get many lou.
40:45
Speaker 2: Holtzes because they're afraid of going on TV or on
40:48
Speaker 2: camera or are are being caught, you know, on social
40:52
Speaker 2: media saying something they weren't supposed to say.
40:55
Speaker 19: Uh.
40:56
Speaker 1: Was never afraid of him.
40:58
Speaker 4: The picture of him Backett, who was from Dallas White
41:02
Speaker 4: High School, that he's got him grabbed by the face mask. Yes,
41:06
Speaker 4: you know, and pulling him down to him to talk
41:08
Speaker 4: to him. Yes, talk to him because was six foot four.
41:12
Speaker 1: You couldn't get away with that.
41:13
Speaker 4: You get away with that stuff.
41:14
Speaker 2: Now, now that was a fire that that would have
41:16
Speaker 2: been a fire bull offense, yes, right, But anyway, I
41:20
Speaker 2: just I hadn't talked about that.
41:22
Speaker 4: But the other thing is, I think because of how
41:26
Speaker 4: it has gone since then, his spectacular failure with the
41:31
Speaker 4: Jets doesn't even matter.
41:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and honestly, I I hadn't thought about that.
41:39
Speaker 2: There were a lot of people that spectacularly failed with
41:42
Speaker 2: the Jets over the years.
41:44
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn might be doing it right now.
41:45
Speaker 1: You know, he was good at Minnesota.
41:47
Speaker 2: He wasn't great at Minnesota, right, but everywhere else. I mean,
41:54
Speaker 2: he was obviously a one of a kind kind of coach.
41:58
Speaker 2: He had a style what it may not have played
42:01
Speaker 2: in today's football, right. He was going to beat you physically,
42:04
Speaker 2: he was gonna run the football right. And the grass
42:07
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame for those big games.
42:10
Speaker 4: You mean when you couldn't see their shoes.
42:12
Speaker 2: Correct, you know, it seemed like they forgot to mow
42:15
Speaker 2: that grass in some of the bigger games with them,
42:18
Speaker 2: with the faster athletes that they would play right, yes,
42:21
Speaker 2: but you know that was lou He was going to
42:24
Speaker 2: run the football and say, hey, stop us.
42:28
Speaker 1: All right, that's enough, We'll take a break. We'll come back.
42:31
Speaker 1: We're going to talk some baseball.

46:29
Speaker 2: the a BA and I was one of the ones
46:31
Speaker 2: that knew to get there early for warm ups because
46:34
Speaker 2: he was going to put on a show. And it

46:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
46:56
Speaker 2: And they had a couple of guys, Okay, couple of guys.
47:01
Speaker 2: And it's interesting. In the book he tells this story
47:06
Speaker 2: and I don't even know who they're playing. He tells
47:09
Speaker 2: his story about Doctor going for a layup and going
47:14
Speaker 2: right at the top of the key, right down the pate,
47:17
Speaker 2: and a guy guarding him, and about him going around
47:22
Speaker 2: him in mid air and laying the ball up, which
47:25
Speaker 2: I've told that story many times, and guys going no, no,
47:30
Speaker 2: he didn't, and the and the players didn't know what happened,
47:35
Speaker 2: but the people.
47:36
Speaker 1: That were there going, yes, he did.
47:38
Speaker 2: He went around the guy in the air and laying
47:42
Speaker 2: the ball up right. And I'm going, of course he did,
47:46
Speaker 2: because I saw it with my own two eyes.
47:49
Speaker 1: I've seen him do that.
47:51
Speaker 4: I watched I was watching the tape delay of the
47:54
Speaker 4: Lakers and Philadelphia when he went underneath, when he went
47:57
Speaker 4: underneath and laid it in.
48:01
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it was.
48:05
Speaker 4: And James not James Worthy Jamal Wilkes. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah,
48:12
Speaker 4: so but I'm I'm like, you know, it was tape
48:16
Speaker 4: delay and people were like, what do you mean it
48:17
Speaker 4: was tape delay?
48:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like he goes in, he goes into
48:20
Speaker 2: that in the book.
48:21
Speaker 11: Right.
48:22
Speaker 1: Uh, the NBA was not doing well. I mean it was.
48:25
Speaker 2: It was getting killed and in fact, Magic versus Bird
48:31
Speaker 2: in seventy nine drew fifty million viewers.
48:34
Speaker 20: Right.
48:36
Speaker 4: Any wait, that Indiana State teams is just like Miami
48:38
Speaker 4: of Ohio. They didn't deserve to be Yeah, yeah they were.
48:41
Speaker 1: They weren't any good.
48:42
Speaker 4: They weren't any good.
48:43
Speaker 15: Uh.
48:44
Speaker 2: And by the way, funny you should mention that because
48:51
Speaker 2: coming up next week, I'm going to visit with Keith O'Brien.
48:56
Speaker 2: He has a book out called Heartland of Forgot in place,
49:01
Speaker 2: an impossible dream and the miracle of Larry Bird. That
49:05
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that two year run. People have forgotten
49:09
Speaker 2: because they were really good the year before, but the
49:13
Speaker 2: two year run that culminated in the year before they
49:16
Speaker 2: didn't get to the tournament because they lost. This was
49:19
Speaker 2: when the tournament was thirty two games, and one of
49:22
Speaker 2: the reasons the tournament is now sixty eight and going
49:25
Speaker 2: higher is because of Magic versus Byrd.
49:28
Speaker 4: Because a young.
49:29
Speaker 2: Young producer Kevin O'Malley, talked to work with CBS INBC
49:37
Speaker 2: had the games right, they're the ones that had Billy
49:42
Speaker 2: Packer and Al McGuire and dick Enbert. But this guy said,
49:47
Speaker 2: fifty million people watching college basketball, I think maybe we
49:51
Speaker 2: should put some of the earlier games on TV and
49:54
Speaker 2: make a big deal out of it. He created Selection
49:57
Speaker 2: Sunday and it all became cause of that year nineteen
50:02
Speaker 2: seventy nine. But again, I will visit with Keith O'Brien
50:07
Speaker 2: next week. The book Heartland about the whole story, not
50:11
Speaker 2: just of Larry Bird, but that improbable year that Indiana
50:16
Speaker 2: State was undefeated and went to the championship game against
50:21
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson. So that's pretty cool. Also, next week. We're
50:26
Speaker 2: not just taking spring break off people?
50:29
Speaker 4: Why not?
50:30
Speaker 1: I don't know.
50:31
Speaker 2: Okay, I hate that. That's a good I don't have
50:33
Speaker 2: an answer.
50:34
Speaker 11: To this time.
50:35
Speaker 4: I mean you need to have the question now.
50:37
Speaker 2: I know I don't have the answer. Actor Rob Morrow,
50:42
Speaker 2: if you're old enough, you first saw him in a
50:50
Speaker 2: little show called Northern Exposure. Believe it that moose walking
50:55
Speaker 2: through the walking through town. Yeah, that was thirty six
51:00
Speaker 2: years ago. Thirty six years ago, nineteen ninety. He won
51:08
Speaker 2: three Golden Globes, had two Emmy nominations as Best Actor
51:13
Speaker 2: in a Dramatic Series Northern Exposure. He's been in numbers.
51:20
Speaker 2: He's got a series out streaming called The Gray. It's
51:25
Speaker 2: a true story about women with the underground railroad and
51:31
Speaker 2: fighting in the Civil War. Rob Morrow will join us
51:36
Speaker 2: on the program.
51:37
Speaker 4: Okay, Larry Bird only averaged thirty and eleven when he
51:40
Speaker 4: was a junior.
51:43
Speaker 2: Correct it was thirty three as senior. I believe right.
51:46
Speaker 4: I'm about to look that up. But yeah, what was it?
51:51
Speaker 4: And he was there?
51:52
Speaker 1: There wasn't three point shot?
51:53
Speaker 20: Then?
51:54
Speaker 2: No, it was not three point shot?
51:56
Speaker 4: No, okay, let's see here. Larry was oh, twenty eight
52:02
Speaker 4: point six fifteen and five and a half. So he
52:07
Speaker 4: gave the ball up a little bit more.
52:09
Speaker 2: He had better players around it. That are players around here.
52:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, they finished second in the Missouri Valley the year before, right,
52:15
Speaker 4: they went twenty three and nine and eleven.
52:17
Speaker 2: And they kept losing to New Mexico State in Illinois State.
